Slideshow stops when multi-tasking - PC;Vista;LR3.4

I'd like the ability to play a Slideshow that doesn't stop when I try and multi-task on the PC.
For instance I like to have a slideshow running in one window and then use another window to select music or perform another task. However, as soon as I click on the other window the LR slideshow stops.
Bug or feature?

You and me both. I rarely use Lr slideshow for this reason. I export after editing and use ACDSee for slideshows.
PS - Neither bug nor feature in my mind. It takes extra programming effort to maintain a full-screen slideshow when app loses focus. Adobe just didn't go the extra mile...

Static in Audigy 2 when Multi-Tasking (MP3 examp

This is not cool at all. I just paid big money for this sound card, and it has a severe problem that none of my onboard sound chips have ever had.
Just got this Audigy 2 ZS card. Everything is great really. But when I run any kind of cpu intensi've app in the background while listening to music, I get severe static. Here is an mp3 recording of the static:
http://studentpages.scad.edu/~cblair2/steve/Audigy2ZSStaticProblem.mp3
You will notice the static goes away, halfway into the mp3. This is because I shut down the CPU intensi've application I was running. More then app causes this issue. I have also experienced the issue in Unreal Tournament 2004, so it is not an issue restricted to streaming music. EAX gaming is affected by it as well.
I'd like to note that it does this both with and without all the extra software installed, that came with the retail cd. Also I have updated my drivers using, both the EAX4.0 update, and the newest stable driver update, as instructed on the Creative site.
Here is my specs:
Antec Super Lanboy case
Thermaltake Silent PurePower TT-420AD (Dual Fan) ATX 420W PSU
Gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro2 (Rev 2.x)
Athlon XP 3000+ 2.6GHz

MSI ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 28MB
Arctic Cooling AVC-000 VGA Silencer

A few of them dont apply to me because my BIOS doesnt have those options.Message Edited by FunkyPoopMonkey on 08-05-2005 04:42 AM

I'd also like to note that in Winamp, the first 2 seconds of every song has static. This is most likely because Winamp is streaming to the pre-buffer during this time. I'm sure of this, because if I hit stop, and play to restart the track, it does not have static in the first 2 seconds, because it is still in the buffer from the first playback.
Here's my IRQ's:
http://img68.imageshack.us/img68/399/untitledcopy4ya.gif
Hope they are all ok. And is it really wise to disable ACPI and then reinstall Windows, like Creative says? Google seems to indicate that this is an important feature to have.
Update: I put my Audigy on the very bottom PCI slot, which was one step down. I also totally uninstalled it, as well as my entire nForce chipset drivers. Then I booted into safe mode, and used Driver Cleaner to totally remove whatever little leftovers remained from these 2 components. Then I did a fresh minimal install of my chipset drivers, and a fresh minimal driver-only install of the Audigy. I have NOT updated the drivers yet.
And guess what? No static so far. I'll really been attacking the CPU and HDDs with work, while playing music. Not a hiccup so far. The weird thing is, now my Audigy is SHARING an IRQ with my S-ATARAID Controller, and yet, no problems. On the other PCI slot, it had an IRQ all to itself. Very strange how this made things better...Message Edited by FunkyPoopMonkey on 08-05-2005 0:32 AM

Stop App from Multi-Tasking?

Does anyone know how to stop or actually close an app with out it continuing to run in the background.
I started the White Noise App and I have it set to a timer. Now the timer is running and the App is in the multi-tasking mode and I don't want the timer to go off I want the App to stop.

Most people don't know the true definition of multitasking, and the difference between multitasking and backgrounding.
On a phone, you can't multitask with anything except music. On a computer, you can watch a movie, monitor an IM conversation you are having with a friend and type up a document for work/school.
On a phone? NO.
Apple is ONLY calling this multitasking because people are sheep and too stupid to realize that you CAN'T multitask on a mobile device, ESPECIALLY ON A CELL PHONE.
What we are actually doing is backgrounding, and when you get down to the heart of how the backgrounding works, it makes people's heads try to explode. They try to understand it, but those who aren't technically inclined blow up the whole definition out of proportion. Also, developers are the reasons why apps don't multitask, NOT Apple (although Apple shoulda' gotten on the ball with backgrounding sooner).
Pretty much, there are 7 APIs that are available to devs, if they want to keep running a service in the background. This is much more efficient, because if you can't see the application, what is the point of still having it run??? It should ONLY keep the SERVICE open that it needs.
As for the "multitasking", as long as the dev recompiles their app against the new 4.0 SDK (they don't have to change any code, merely open it in the new SDK and recompile it), the app will then "freeze" itself in the state it is in when the end user hits the Home button. Then, when the user goes back the app, it will "unfreeze" itself and to the end user, it will seem as if it was never closed.
As for the system handing this, if an app is opened that needs more memory than is available, it will look at the frozen apps, and will find the one that you used LAST (the "least recently used" algorithm) and will close that one, and thus, the CPU and memory that it needs to run the new app will be obtained.
However, the end user who wants to understand but doesn't, won't understand this. I don't like when I hear people complaining about this issue.
Here is a link to the 7 backgrounding APIs.

My speaker doesn't work when I try to listen to music or open up a quick time file, however they seem to work perfectly when I listen to a voice memo (p.s. the volume slider disappears in a song page and even in the multi tasking bar)

Thanks for your solution, it wasn't quite what solved the problem but i remembered that i had a bit of salt water on my phone recently and spraying the charging port with an anti-oxide spray solved my problem, do you mind if i ask, how is the charging port related with the volume or/and speakers?

Built in package that executes when running a Multi-task

I think with the many questions you have on the same issue, the Extensibility Documentation will help a lot.

Why is my iPhone 5(with iOS 8) soo slow when I double-tap for multi-task?

I have an iPhone 5 16GB, I bought it 2 years ago, and it worked perfectly. I used it with iOS 6 (the best),7 and now 8. Since the moment I upgraded to 8 (Nowadays I'm using it with iOS 8.1.1) the device starts to open the multi-task slowly, it takes about 3 seconds. I don't know what to do.
Thanks for your attention.

Can't use airplay and multi task anymore.

First of all, I would like to say I love my Apple TV. The one thing I didn't love when I first got it was when I watched a video or YouTube video on my iPad 4 and used the airplay it would show up on the TV but I had to leave that screen open on the iPad and couldn't do anything else while it was on the tv. The same thing happened with my iPhone 5. Then one day it started working. I don't know if it was an update or what but I was then able to use airplay on either device to watch something on the TV from my iPad but able to multi task and get on Facebook or Safari or whatever. Then one sad day came along and it stopped working and worked like how when I first got it, which was a disappointment, especially after it working for so long. Is there anyone out there that knows how to fix this issue? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Ps - my Apple TV is up to date and I have already tried restarting it.

It is possible that Google broke background playback in the latest update. Unfortunately I cannot check this myself because my iPad is only running iOS 5, whereas the latest version of the YouTube app needed iOS 6.
Still, it could also just be a glitch. In which case restarting your device might resolve the issue. (eg. press and hold power and home buttons until the Apple logo appears).

How do I see the multi-task menu bar?

I am trying to find a way to stop the app "Magellan Road Mate" when I am finished. Seems simple, however, there is no provision for turning the app off. Magellan says to go tap and hold the icon in the multi-task menu bar until a - sign appears then tap the minus sign and that will turn the app off. Being among the technically "near illiterate", I can't seem to find the "Multi-Task Menu Bar".
Can anyone help me out? Any direction will be appreciated. It is embarrasing to be walking through a lobby in a hotel and suddenly your hip speaks...."recalculating route..."

Get back to the Home screen, double tap the Home button and the icons along the bottom will turn into the multitasking bar. Tap and hold one of these till they wiggle with a minus button on them. You an scroll sideways to find the apps you wish to close. Press the Home button once to remove the button then once again to return to the Home screen.
If you have an Apps running when you double tap it will not appear in the multitask bar till you exit to the home screen or change apps.

Ipad2: How to listen to Music in the background (Multi-Tasking)?

Hi all,
Can someone please help me - I can't seem to keep my Music playing in the background on my ipad 2 when I then open Safari.
All Music automatically stops playing, it's like background Multi-tasking doesn't work for listening to music and using safari at the same time. Is this the same for everyone using iOS 5.0.1 on ipad2?
Any advice would help. This is driving me nuts!
Thanks,
Tanja

I can't offer much. I'm typing this in Safari on my iPad2 while listening to music from the Music app.
Try restarting or resetting your iPad as explained in iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting, http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
BTW, most Apple support documents lately give a "file not found when" using a link, but load correctly when you reload the url.

Jeannine,
If you follow the advice of the previous poster Julie Kmoch and then gradualy add presets back in one at a time you might be able to find the one that is causing the issue. I may be guessing, but I believe the issue has something to do with either an incompatible Preset setting (eg a older preset in newer version of LR) or a corrupt Preset.
Say you bought LR2 and imported a bunch of Presets from the internet, cuz 'Hey these effects are cool and I don't have to recreate the wheel', and then you upgraded to LR3 (not a clean install) and now one of the Presets that calls a certain slider setting or value that is different in LR3 doesn't work anymore. This might be why it throws the error, but again I am just speculating.
Location of LR Preset folder in Windows Vista/ Windows 7
C:/Users/<YourUserName>/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Lightroom/Develop Presets
If you do not see the folder AppData, you may need to change the settings in Windows Explorer to 'Show Hidden Files and Folders'. To do that in Windows Vista/ Windows 7, open a Windows Explorer window, Click on Organize, then Foler and Search Options. Then click on the View tab and select the option button next to Show hidden files, folders and drives.
Hope this helps a bit,
Glenn

HT4211 Do the multi-tasking apps use up a LOT more user MB's?

Does multi-tasking apps cause you to use a LOT more user MB's? If so, can I make it stop? I have been triple charged by my service provider by email messages and did not even know anything was running?
Please help.

Double-clicking the Home button displays a list of recently used apps. These apps are not necessarily actively in use, open, or taking up system resources. They will instantly launch when you return to them. Certain tasks or services can continue to run in the background.

Camera seems to stop when I enter fullscreen app

So as the title suggests, I am encoutering a problem consisting in the fact that whenever I enter a fullscreen app while in a video call , my camera stops recording and the person at the other end only sees a black screen. I am using a stock Lenovo G510 with the latest drivers for Windows 7 Home Premium, it also happened on Windows 8.1 Pro.

That are a lot of variables when trying to multi-task with video and audio. Try the following to see if it will work: 1. Make sure the your desktop and in-game resolution match.2. Try with the game in windowed mode instead of full screen mode as that can definitely create issues.

What are your impressions of "multi-tasking"?

If you have iOS4 and a capable device, you should have multi-tasking and opened apps appearing in the task bar. Newer app versions are able to run in the background. In my opinion, when I close most apps (by pressing the home button), I want them to close completely, not run in the background. Aside from being a privacy issue, apps in the task bar may use battery power or if truly in a suspended mode, they still take up memory or process capability. In order to really shut them down, two additional home button clicks and then two more screen strokes are required. Not very efficient and probably leading to an earlier home button failure. Why not have some kind of screen command (tap or swipe combination?) to simultaneously shut down all apps in the task bar? The bar itself is useless if you have used many apps in the course of a day. To find what you're looking for, you have to scroll through a long parade of icons. It's a lot easier to just tap the icon where you know it is sitting in the nice folder you created. I don't get it. I realize the bar can be used for switching open apps, but this is really not that big of a deal for the vast majority of apps. Furthermore, there should be an option to enable or disable multi-tasking globally as well as for individual apps. Now that would be an improvement.
What are your thoughts?

I havent done any kind of multitasking on my ipod touch, im waiting to upgrade my software to the newer one. However, I couldnt agree more with that of pressing the home button many times to perform basic function to switch apps or enable the multitasking ability. I think palm adapted a better design of software than apple ever did with their IOS 4. Palm's webOS can handle full multitasking--something the iPhone can't do. Palm uses what it calls "a deck of cards model" for managing multitasking: You can view each of your open applications at once, shuffle them any way you choose, and then discard the ones you want to close. All of this is done with intuitive gestures that mimic handling a physical deck of cards. Apps remains live, even when minimized into the card view, so changes can continue to happen in real-time, even if you've moved on to another activity.
I had the time to experience a bit of a palm web os software on an AT&T store and my impression on that software is done more elegantly than apple multitasking home pressing button system.
P.S to NYtroutbum: you should definitely present that idea to apple by its feedback product page. Let's hope it listens.
