Slow image downloads under 10.3.9, but not 10.4.9

I am a Mac admin at a small publishing company. We have a number of Macs still running OS 10.3.9, and some running 10.4.x. When users attempt to download large, hi-res image files from sites like ArtRes.com, Corbis, Getty, etc. with Safari 1.3.x under 10.3.9, the download starts, but immediately begins to slow down and within a minute or so grinds to a halt.
Under OS 10.4.x and Safari 2.x, the downloads do not exhibit this gradual slowdown and halt.
Since earlier submitting this question to a Safari discussion, I've tested this under Firefox and Opera as well, and the same problem of halting downloads from these image sites occurs with these browsers as well, so it appears to be an OS X 10.3 issue, not a Safari issue specifically.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to solve this? (Upgrading everyone to 10.4.x is an obvious fix, but we can't do it yet.)
Thanks.

Hi, that's really strange. I don't recall seeing that in my experiences with Firefox and large images, at all. I'd venture to guess that there's some networking configuration setting on the 10.3.9 machines, or further up the chain that's causing them to time out.
I'd start by going to the terminal and doing a ping from one of the 10.3.9 machines to a remote site to see if you're getting any packet loss.

I use a mac ios and shoot raw in a cannon 5d mark ii and shortly upon import of my images lightroom darkens and changes my images. This has happened before but not every time. The strange part is my last shoot had the same camera setting but this did not happen. The images i have now i can not use after lightroom has automatically altered them even if i try editing back to how they looked upon import

First thing to do is to change the default camera profile applied in Lightroom to camera standard (assuming that you shoot Canon or Nikon). Also make sure that your camera is NOT set up to use any of the HDR modes. Nikon calls those Active Dynamic Lighting. On Canons you often see things like highlight priority mode or "Auto Lighting Optimizer". Make sure that the picture style is set to standard and that for newer Canons the HDR mode is turned off. Most of the HDR modes simply underexpose the image and then add an instruction in the raw file to compensate for this to prevent highlights from being blown out. This causes more noise in the shadows and if you know what you are doing there is no point to this as you should simply expose correctly and get the highest quality raw.
Lastly, make sure that in Lightroom you have not checked "Apply Auto Tone Adjustments" in Preferences->Presets. This should make the default rendering of the raw files the same as the in-camera jpeg (what the camera shows on the back even if you shoot raw) but still give you all the latitude of raw files.

Try a reset.
Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake and Home button together. The screen will go blank but don't let go until the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)
If that doesn't work, install iOS 8.0.1 then update to 8.0.2

Application running slow in ver 1.5, 1.6 but not in 1.4

We have a application that was running very slow when we used any version sun java instead of MS java in IE6 SP2.
I removed MS Java from IE and installed Sun java 1.4.2_16 and the applications starts in under 10sec's.
But we had to test the other version of java as well, i then installed the other versions from 1.5 update 14 to 1.6 update 4 and the application takes about 30 to 40 sec to load the web page.
I then looked at the development version of java 1.6 update 10 and version 7. In 1.6 update 10 the application would load but would not refresh the applets it would just hang. In version 7 the application would not start up at all.
In all the versions i increased the memory parmeters from 128 to 256 and in version 1.6 i changed it to -Xmx300m as well but still the application was slow loading. Removed all the versions and reinstalled 1.4.2_14 and the application works fine and loads up under 10 sec.
Does any one have any idea why this is happening.
IE 6 sp2
XP sp2 been used.

You should try profiling the startup code.
As a first go around, you might try getting a stack trace during the startup process and look for locks (see jstack).
If your application is built on Swing, it's my understanding that the later versions of Java are more strict about use of the Event Dispatch Thread--pay particular attention to activity off the EDT locking the thread.

Background image displays locally in HTML5 template but not when published

I have used an excellent HTML5 template which uses JavaScript to display background images. However while this file works locally it doesn't when published. The site structure is sound and I notice this happens with the source files I downloaded also so it's nothing I have done in my build which could have caused this.
This is the link to my site, everything is fine except the background image not showing.

Any ideas, as I say fine locally, not fine when published?

Hi Kyle,
I realise you posted your question a couple of days ago but it looks like your background image issue may now be fixed?
In any case, your site has a few issues. Not sure who told you the template was HTML 5 but they might be yanking your chain. There is nothing HTML 5 about the code used and the DOCTYPE is from HTML 4. As such, some of the code you have used is throwing up errors - some related to the DOCTYPE and some where you haven't closed the tags:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.khawkinsdesign.com%2F&charset=%28detect +automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0
<ul id="footer-nav">
<li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="portfolio.html">Portfolio</a></li>
<li><a href="about.html">About</a></li> /*The closing tag is missing in your code */
<li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li> /*The closing tag is missing in your code */
</ul>
It would be best to amend the errors but some might disappear when you add the HTML 5 DOCTYPE in to your code. Things like your lack of "type" on the sources is a required v4 attribute, but not in v5.
<!DOCTYPE html>
Have a read through this for more info - this is a great resource for everything HTML 5. http://diveintohtml5.info/
Rik
EDIT:// It seems that the DOCTYPE is the 5 version on all but the home page so you may only have one to correct. However, there are still no HTML 5 elements used to take advantage of the new DOCTYPE.

TS1424 I can no longer purchase music or books. Visa etc up to date. Downloads sign just keeps flashing but not downloading

I have downloaded books and music for two years. Now when I try to the songs do not download. When I press green buy book it goes blank and nothing downloads. My visa is fine and details current. Also when I shut down and next day open up iTunes the same download light is still flashing but nothing downloading. I do not know how to stop or delete this.
Can anyone help?

Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
Anyways I digress.
So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.
Answers in a postcard :-)
Much love

JQuery Cycle 2 Image Slideshow (Works (cycles) in Explorer, but not in Safari or Chrome??

I am novice designer. I copied code for Cycle2 into my head (declaration or initializer?) and body (image source) of HTML document. The slider cycles through pictures in Explorer, but not in Safari or Crome. Any help, suggestions, alternatives would be appreciated. Thank you.
I have tried
Spry Content Slideshow- trouble being responsive when resized.
FlexSlider2.2- trouble with image height/viewport sizing to big (kinda had workaround), but had trouble with getting HTML text and image together on one slide.
WOWSlider- could not get rid of the gutter/margins surrounding the slider.

Resize/re-scale & optimize all images for the web in your graphics editor before you insert them into your web pages. Saves bandwidth and reduces page load.
Cycle2 is a responsive slideshow. If you want all images to remain 400px and not responsive to layout, you'll need to modify the CSS code a little.
Details on using Previous & Next links are in the documentation.

Image looks grainy in Photoshop CC but not in CS5

All of my images look grainy int he dark areas in CC, but not in CS5. Is there a display setting that I'm missing? Side note, the saved images look fine. They only look bad in the CC UI.

Well if that's how you are going to be!!!! Station is OK, but this is an old thread, and there was a full moon back then.
So is it a display problem rather than a performance one? I think it was mentioned that the artefacts a not there on saved documents. It is also one of those issues that would be fixed by resetting preferences, because the cache levels would go back to four. It actually says right there on Preferences > Performance in the History & Cache section 'Set cache levels to two or higher for optimum performance' .
There is so much good information right there among the oficial help pages

Which makes it very disappointing that Tech Support couldn't track it down. I suspect they work more from Expert Systems than their own knowledge, so they have a bit of work to do there.

Paste image from clipboard works in Chrome but not in Firefox

Hi there,
I would like to know a bit more about the technical reasons why image pasting from clipboard works on Chrome but not Firefox.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the text editor on github.com, e.g. by commenting on an issue
2. Copy an image to clipboard
3. Put the mouse cursor into the text editor area
4. Use CTRL+V to paste the image into the text editor
On Chrome, the image is pasted and automatically uploaded on Github. On Firefox nothing happens.
Can someone please shed light on this lacking feature?
I would so much love to see support for this on Firefox as it is a very convenient functionality.
Thank you!

The best is to try it yourself I guess.
Go to Github and try pasting an image into the compose editor.
The editor definitely supports image pastings. They work directly in Chrome(ium).
Thus I am wondering why Firefox does not support direct pasting from clipboard into the editor.
See the attached screenshot regarding the editor I am talking about.

Image Capture connects to card reader but not camera

Image Capture and iPhoto do not detect new connected Canon camera. Will read card via card reader. Camera will connect to older macbook iPhoto and Image Capture but not my iMac. Image Capture in Mountain Lion has no perferences anymore. Tried Repairing Disk Permissions but no success. Any ideas?

Sorry, there is no setting on the AirPort Extreme card built-in your new iMac that can be tweaked to "force" a connection to the Netgear's "n" network.
Does your Netgear allow for different Network Names (or SSIDs) for each of its radios? If so, you can try an experiment by renaming the 5 GHz radio's Network Name, and then, specifically connect the iMac to it.
Also, since "n" can operate on either radio, it appears that your iMac is "locking" on the 2.4 GHz radio. Does your iMac have any trouble connecting to any other "n" Wi-Fis? If so, then there may be a problem with either the AirPort Extreme card or the internal antennae on the iMac ... and it would warrant a visit to your local Apple Store to have them take a look.

Background image in template viewable in preview but not in compiled output

A co-worker, using RH8 on Windows XP is having a problem with a template that has a background .jpg image. In RH8 the background image is viewable in the preview, but when she compiles the project the background is not there. This image had been viewable in the compiled project when she was using RH7.
I'm at a loss for what to suggest as I don't use backgrounds in my projects.
Any info/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

Hi there
The most obvious solution would be to try adding the image to Baggage Files. I'd try that first and see if it changes anything.
With RoboHelp 8, you have an option of overriding the Style Sheet. So it's theoretically possible that what has been specified in the project is being undone by a subsequent choice.
Try the Baggage option first.
