Slow flash loading in IE8 Win 7 64bits
Hi all,
These are are my config:
-Configuration 1:
Win7 64 bits, on a workstation. I'm using IE8 32 bits with Flash player version 10,1,82,76
-Configuration 2:
WinXP 32 bits, SP3, on a workstation. I'm using IE6 32 bits with Flash player version 10,1,53,64
The bandwidth and ping are very fast in both
I don't understand why loading a Flash animation in config 1 is much much slower than config 2
Thanks,
Thanh
Thank you for your answers.
I disabled most of the addons in IE8 and it didn't help to load faster the flash file. I should make it clear that once it's fully loaded, the flash plays quite fast. I tried to download directly the swf file to have an idea of download time, but I can't do it directly. I have to put a link that refers to the swf file in a web page. is it normal? Also, I found out that Firefox 3.6 can't download faster neither in configuration 1. If it's in cache, it's quite fast though.

Slow Flash Loading XML file in 10.5.4
Since Upgrading to 10.5.4 I find Flash websites that use XML driven data are running very slow. I get the spinning beach ball for 5-15 seconds. This occurs in both Safari and Firefox.
Any thoughts on why this might be happening?Well downgrading flash to version 9r47 seems to have fixed this issue. Still does not explain what is happening between the os and flash.
A Power Mac G5 with 10.5.4 works fine with 9r124 the newest version.

Flash loading very slow in IE 9 with latest updates
Dear Members
Hello to all members myself is Kaustav Banerjee from India and I am into a manufacturing business. Recently I have developed our company's website through a professional website designing company but unfortunately I am having serious issues with Flash in IE 9.
Let me tell you the details
Flash version 11.1.102.55 ( The latest version )
IE 9 version 9.0.8112.16421 ( The latest version)
Our website - www.ideasincrafts.com
OS Version ( WIN 7 32 bit )
The problem I am having is the website takes very long time to load the flash animation and when somebody opens the home page in IE 9 the user only looks at a flash placeholder with borders. Sometimes the flash loads and sometime it doesn't. Also when the user clicks on the links of the website the flash loading procedure starts again and its quite frustrating.
The weird thing is the flash displays properly on the other browsers like Firefox and Google chrome.
I really hope you members can guide us through this issue as the web designing company I am working with doesn't have a clue at all why this is happening.
I am attaching the image of the problem.
Thanks with best regards

Slow flash chart loading in Apex due to SQL performance!
I am very new with Oracle. I have an application with lots of flash charts which are mostly very slow to load. My table size is over 10 million and growing. I think that most of my problems come from the SQL quries that I use, but do not understand most of the techniques I find in internet to tune it. Here is one example:
select null,c.mydate label,c7.cnt "Rattle",c8.cnt "Climb",c9.cnt "Kick",c1.cnt "Footstep",c2.cnt "Vehicle",c4.cnt "Start"

Hi
I'm using FF 3.6.21 on a PPC Mac. I've updated the Flash Player plug-in to 10.1 r102 When I open certain sites I'm waiting 30- 60 seconds looking at the 'beach ball of death' they all seem to stall on the Flashwhen I open a web with flash, loading is very slow
Not uncommon. Adobe's Flash Player is often a troublemaker. Try uninstalling and reinstalling it. Also, try resetting the browser.
Always tell us which Portege Z930 you have. There is a label on the bottom.
When you want to talk about the web, always tell us which browser you use and its version.

Win 7 64bit hangs on latest Flash Player Update
Win 7 64bit hangs on the latest Flash Player Update. It happened twice yesterday, after I installed the latest (automatic) Flash Player Update. After I uninstalled that Update, my system was stable again. Now I lack Flash Player, but at least I have a stable system.
Hi Chris,
Thanks very much for the fast response. I have tried installing the 11.3 beta update onto a local PC, and this does seem to resolve the issue.
And now the inevitable question...
When is 11.3 likely to get rolled out?
No doubt this is a tricky question for you to answer - but roughly, is this days/weeks/months away. I just could do with a vague idea, as we can cope with it for a day or two, but otherwise I'm going to need to come up with an alternative. My whole business is based around online video in one form or another - and everyone with the latest update can no longer use it - hence big problem for us.
Many Thanks

Image acquisition slower than expected on Win 7 64bit
Hi all,
I wanted to know if anyone had issue after upgrading OS from Windows XP to Windows 7 64bit.
I had a fairly big project the runs fine on Windows XP, hardware is computer + PCIe 1433 + Basler A504 + external trig source. The frame size 1000*128 pixel so I can acquire at 4kHz. This works fine. NI Software is LV 2011 SP1 + lastest VDM and VAS.
I've tried to switch to Windows 7 64bit with LV 2011 SP1 + VDM + VAS all in 64bit versions and the acquisition doesn't work as I expect.
I've put together a test VI that configures the acquisirion in a similar way that my app does (triggered ring acquisition) with my external trig source set at 4kHz, when I run it, instead of having a 4kHz frame rate I get ~250Hz frame rate.
I also tried triggered acquisition in MAX because I know MAX gives me 2 information : display frame rate and acquisition frame rate, both appear to be ~250Hz.
I contacted NI about this issue, an application engineer has been able to reproduce the issue with similar hardware and we're trying to identify the reason.
Anyone has a clue?
ps : here's the code used to test the acquisition on Win 7 64bit.
When my feet touch the ground each morning the devil thinks "bloody hell... He's up again!"

TestAcqu_64bit.zip 99 KBHi TiTou,
Please make sure that you are not triggering the camera and the frame grabber board.Sending a trigger signal to the camera in order to trigger acquisition of every frame. In this case, there is no need to trigger the frame grabber board as well because the camera is being triggered directly. What was causing the acquisition to run at half the triggered frame rate was the way the signals lined up. The camera begins acquiring on the rising edge of the trigger pulse. Once a rising edge is received, FVAL goes high and remains high as long as the camera is exposing. It then goes low until another trigger pulse is received.
At the same time, if you are triggering each buffer on the frame grabber, the frame grabber waits to begin reading data from the camera until a rising edge is received, and then begins read out once FVAL goes low. The result is that the frame grabber begins reading out the current frame, which takes about as long as the camera takes to acquire a frame. So while the frame grabber is reading out the data, the camera receives the next trigger pulse and begins acquiring the next frame. However, the frame grabber is still reading out the previous frame and thus ignores the trigger pulse until it finishes, resulting in an acquired frame rate that is exactly half of the triggered rate. At lower rates, there is enough time for the camera and the frame grabber to acquire the frame off the same trigger pulse and "re-arm" before the next pulse arrives.

PS: Please also make sure the exposure time is lower as 161us. -
Flash player crashes my win 7 64 sys - I don't want flash, get rid of it...
I have a new win 7 64bit system on a AMD Asus 880G box. It freezes once or twice a day, with Side-By-Side, AIR related errors. EVERY TIME I restart after a freeze/crash, it starts with a Adobe Flash Update nag screen at startup (every single time!) Event logs ALWAYS show SBS AIR related errors.
I've been a Photoshop user since PS4, and have updated all the way to CS5. I use/need, that is, I need PS. I don't want Flash, I don't want AIR, or Device Central or Adobe Updater or any other crap.
I had a stabile sys, after installing CS5, when I uninstalled every thing Adobe that wasn't PS or Bridge. Then the sys was reliable. But I couldn't open a PDF; no Adobe Reader!?! So after installing Adobe Reader from the PS CS5 disk, I'm back to square one, and Flash up-dater and crashes.
I won't say that I hate Adobe people, but I would like to find a way to have PS CS5 and some new current version of a PDF Reader, and nothing else; no auto-crash Flash up-dater crap, no AIR, no other crap.
Is this possable; any help would be very much appreciated, thank you, JimThank you very much for the reply.
I didn't know that Flash is a necessary component of Photoshop CS.
I'll try to be more specific about the problem that I have, I'm sorry I wasn't more clear in my first posts. (This is more frustrating than you can probably imagine.)
I can uninstall everything that is shown as Adobe, except PS and Bridge, that is, I've uninstalled everything Adobe that's not PS and bridge, and then have had an installation that shows only PS and Bridge in 'programs' and the 'Control Panel'. That configuration seems to be stable and reliable, run for about a week with no problems (I didn't know that Flash is still installed, but I'm not having problems.) But then there is no PDF reader installed (no Acrobat Reader).
I've then down loaded and installed the latest Acrobat Reader, and I back to having the Flash Updater problems/crashes. And I get Adobe Updater popup screens, prompting updates (?). And I also get the Windows security warning popups, "Adobe website wants to down load programs to your computer".
I make my living with photography (and Photoshop). I'm trying to have a computer with PS and Bridge and some useful PDF reader, BUT no automatic updates or down loads.
Again, I don't know for sure that this is the cause of the problem, but with 20-30 crashes, the only error reports consistant are the SXS AIR. And on every restart the Flash Updater popup is on screen at start-up. When I start-up any other time, from a normal or good shut down, the Flash Updater popup screen has never been up on start-up.
Is it possable to get new Acrobat Reader installed and be able to disable or uninstall all of the automatic communication and update stuff?
thank you
PS, Photoshop installed is CS5 (64 bit)

Hi,
I am using a Nvidia 4200M adapter in my Laptop, Driver 266.96, Direct X 11
In my desktop I am using an ATI XFX 6950, latest revision drivers (I am not at home right now so I cant get that info).
The issue I did describe above, but it was a long explanation.
In some flash games the game files load initially and get as far as the "click to start" button. Then the flash area usually goes either all white or all black (usually depending on the falsh game default background color) and then it stays that color. Cant see anything after hitting start (usually most games have an intro video or animation before the game starts, but I cant see any of it.
For the very few games that do start, the flash game or application does not seem to work correctly in that when the rare game starts, it wont save any game files or save files to the pc and so if I exit the game (navigate away to another page or close browser) and then later come back, even though I click the option to save games (and ensure that the flash application slider shows it can save files and lots of space) it does not save and I have to start from the beginning all the time.
More explanation I gave above. -

Is what I've discribed normal for Mavericks?
Thanks1. This is a comment on what you should—and should not—do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet and gets onto a computer as an unintended consequence of the user's actions. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the computer, or who has been able to log in to it remotely. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it.
If you find this comment too long or too technical, read only sections 5, 6, and 10.
OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user. Internally Apple calls it "XProtect."
The malware recognition database used by XProtect is automatically updated; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
The following caveats apply to XProtect:
It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
Apple has so far failed to revoke the codesigning certificates of some known abusers, thereby diluting the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. These failures don't involve App Store products, however.
For the reasons given, App Store products, and—to a lesser extent—other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. Sandbox security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they are not, and never will be, complete protection. Malware is a problem of human behavior, and a technological fix is not going to solve it. Trusting software to protect you will only make you more vulnerable.
The best defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the scam artists. If you're smarter than they think you are, you'll win. That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. How do you know when you're leaving the safe harbor? Below are some warning signs of danger.
Software from an untrustworthy source
Software of any kind is distributed via BitTorrent. or Usenet, or on a website that also distributes pirated music or movies.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, doesn't come directly from the developer’s website. Do not trust an alert from any website to update Flash, your browser, or anything else.
Rogue websites such as Softonic and CNET Download distribute free applications that have been packaged in a superfluous "installer."
The software is advertised by means of spam or intrusive web ads. Any ad, on any site, that includes a direct link to a download should be ignored.
Software that is plainly illegal or does something illegal
High-priced commercial software such as Photoshop is "cracked" or "free."
An application helps you to infringe copyright, for instance by circumventing the copy protection on commercial software, or saving streamed media for reuse without permission.
Conditional or unsolicited offers from strangers
A telephone caller or a web page tells you that you have a “virus” and offers to help you remove it. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
A web site offers free content such as video or music, but to use it you must install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "downloader," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one.
You win a prize in a contest you never entered.
Someone on a message board such as this one is eager to help you, but only if you download an application of his choosing.
A "FREE WI-FI !!!" network advertises itself in a public place such as an airport, but is not provided by the management.
Anything online that you would expect to pay for is "free."
Unexpected events
You open what you think is a document and get an alert that it's "an application downloaded from the Internet." Click Cancel and delete the file. Even if you don't get the alert, you should still delete any file that isn't what you expected it to be.
An application does something you don't expect, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
Software is attached to email that you didn't request, even if it comes (or seems to come) from someone you trust.
I don't say that leaving the safe harbor just once will necessarily result in disaster, but making a habit of it will weaken your defenses against malware attack. Any of the above scenarios should, at the very least, make you uncomfortable.
6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it—not JavaScript—in your browsers.
Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
Stay within the safe harbor, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself.
7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" (AV) or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they are all worse than useless. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free security apps in the Mac App Store—nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial AV products?
To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. This technique is a proven failure, as a major AV software vendor has admitted. Most attacks are "zero-day"—that is, previously unknown. Recognition-based AV does not defend against such attacks, and the enterprise IT industry is coming to the realization that traditional AV software is worthless.
Its design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere. In order to meet that nonexistent threat, commercial AV software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
By modifying the operating system, the software may also create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
Most importantly, a false sense of security is dangerous.
8. An AV product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," has the same drawback as the commercial suites of being always out of date, but it does not inject low-level code into the operating system. That doesn't mean it's entirely harmless. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
An AV app is not needed, and cannot be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful, if at all, only for detecting Windows malware, and even for that use it's not really effective, because new Windows malware is emerging much faster than OS X malware.
Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else. A malicious attachment in email is usually easy to recognize by the name alone. An actual example:
London Terror Moovie.avi [124 spaces] Checked By Norton Antivirus.exe
You don't need software to tell you that's a Windows trojan. Software may be able to tell you which trojan it is, but who cares? In practice, there's no reason to use recognition software unless an institutional policy requires it. Windows malware is so widespread that you should assume it's in every email attachment until proven otherwise. Nevertheless, ClamXav or a similar product from the App Store may serve a purpose if it satisfies an ill-informed network administrator who says you must run some kind of AV application. It's free and it won't handicap the system.
The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have all the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
10. As a Mac user, you don't have to live in fear that your computer may be infected every time you install software, read email, or visit a web page. But neither can you assume that you will always be safe from exploitation, no matter what you do. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices. -
Firefox is slow to load and view pages and repeated "Firefox is not responding" message
Firefox is quite slow to load and view pages with and I keep getting the "Firefox is not responding" message.
I have the latest version, plus the latest Adobe Flash Player, Shockwave Player, etc.Note that Firefox 36 has been released officially.
*https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/36.0/releasenotes/
It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Problems with downgrade from Win 8.1 to Win 7 64bit on Satellite S70-A-11H
Hi,
My daughter already has a Tosh laptop with Win 7 64bit which is several years old and has seen better days, so for Christmas I bought her a new S70-A-11H notebook with Win 8.1 pre-installed.
She hates it. In fact she will not use the new laptop at all unless it has Win 7 on it.
For people that do not use a tablet or a Windows phone and like a desktop feeling machine Windows 8 does not work for us.
Now I work in a niche IT role using numerous OS such as Microsoft Windows (XP, Win7, Server 2003, Server 2008) and Solaris as well as a bit of RedHat.
Now my Win8 experience is zero.
I thought it would be simple enough to install a retail copy of Win7 with SP1 64bit onto this notebook.
Not so easy as it turns out.
When I boot from the Win 7 install DVD the installer program locks up as the Win 7 logo starts to appear on the screen. If I try an install in safe mode the last driver that appears to load when the lock up occurs is disk.sys.
So the question is how can I install Win 7 64bit SP1 onto this notebook using a retail copy of Win7?
Any ideas would be much appreciated.*I found the reason for this problem* and the solution outside of this forum.
If anyone else is interested _the issue is cause by the use of GPT partions on the 8.1 build._
To overcome this and install a fresh copy of Win7 you can do this:
-Shut down Windows 8 while pressing the Shift key to completely power off.
-Power on and press F2 while the Toshiba logo is displayed to enter the UEFI Setup Menu.
-Go to the Security tab and set the "Secure Boot" setting to "Disabled".
-Go to the Advanced tab, enter "System Configuration" and set the Boot Mode to "CSM Boot."
-Press F10 to save and exit.
Go to http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ and download gparted boot image. Make bootable gparted cd and use it to delete the GPT partitions on the HDD.
Now just install Win7 64bit as you normally would creating whatever partitions you like during the install process. Of course you must have a new licence key for Win7 for this to work.
To finish off you will need to download all the required drivers from the Toshiba website to suit Win7 64bit. This is quite tedious as some of the files are huge. I got just the basics that I thought I'd need and that ended up being over 1Gb of files.
I'm so pleased I managed to get rid of that nasty Win8 interface.
This is probably not the only way to do this, but this worked for me. -
MacBook Pro, Mid 2012 slow to load applications and startup
Problem description:
I have a MacBook Pro 13 inch, mid 2012 computer. Over the past months it has become increasingly slower during load up, and application loads.
Running OS X Yosemite
Processor: 2.9 GHz, Intel Core i7
Memory 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
I installed an application Memory Clean from the App Store and I need to run it every so often to keep the load down. It shows of the 8GB available, App Memory eating up 3.32 GB, File Cache 2.25 GB, Wired 1.16 GB, Compressed 122.03 MB for used 6.80 GB.
I am considering upping the memory from 8 GB to 16 GB, but think it is something else dragging it down. I am not a total computer newbie, but am no where near a techomage so any advice given if it could be in simple to follow instructions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for any advice given, have a great day.

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

Zen X-Fi2 extremely slow when loading playlists!
0Zen X-Fi2 extremely slow when loading playlists!?I recently purchased a Zen X-Fi2 64gb. I'd been waiting for a player of this size for a few years now but Creative was behind the power curve so I temporarily switched to an Archos 80gb. After the Archos began to annoy me I ended up just going with the Zen 32gb flash based player. It works/ed great. This new Zen X-Fi2 however is unbearably slow! I don't mind quite sometime to rebuild the library once the initial sync is done but when it takes 5 minutes to load a playlist (3000+ songs) then I get upset. It takes so long to load said playlist that the player shuts off before it has time to load all the songs. I can't even just click play right away like I could on the Zen. The only way I've been able to get around it is to tap the screen twice. Once to load the playlist (which takes forever if it's more than 00 songs) and again to play once the lengthy loading process is over with. However even then it doesn't load all the songs. I've been communicating with tech support about this with no resolution in sight. All they keep telling me is how 'normal' it is for a player to load a large number of songs. My Zen which is an MTP player syncs and plays music much faster! Is there anyway to possibly upgrade this to an MTP player?
Hi Vokivolli,
Almost 2 months on from your original post I see that you have received no reply from an administrator. Are these problems still persisting with your player? I have an X-Fi Style too and am experiencing the same problems. Like you I was hoping that firmware updates would address the problem. I don't think that the Style is a priority for Creative and unfortunately I don't see them bothering to solve these issues. Hope I'm wrong cos otherwise I love the X-Fi Style. -
Slow index loading on mobile devices
Hi, my organisation is trialing the new RH10 multiscreen html 5 output.
Our techincal documentation includes a very large index (7000+ terms).
The index loads fine on a desktop (Chrome/FF -- under 5 seconds and IE8 -- over 10 seconds), however when we try to load the same index on a mobile device, it takes 2-5 minutes.
Is this a known issue?
Is there a way to fix it?
Suggested fix (if Robo devs are listening):
Create an option that outputs chunked index data in JSON format (currently XML) then parse JSON to the index tree loader for tree generation and search queries.
Thanks.
Here is the bug report I submitted:
Concise problem statement:
Very slow index loading (>3 minutes) on large indexes (7000+ terms). Does not seem to cache index data.
Steps to reproduce bug:
1.Create an index with over 7000 terms.
2.Generate Mutliscreen HTML5 output.
3.Open Index in mobile browser (Safari/Android)
4.Wait for entire index to finish loading.
5.Refresh index page.
Results:Very slow loading (>3 minutes). Does not seem to cache index data.
Expected results:Loads in under 1 minuteHi,
Is the mobile device connected via WiFi or 3G? What mobile device are you using and have you tried others?
I suspect the sheer size of the index is the problem. Even if it works fast, nn index with 7000 entries is not very usable on a mobile device.
Greet,
Willam
