Slow or none existent BBC and EBAY

Unable to reliably connect to either BBC or EBAY sites amongst other. It's been like this for over a month, is there any official acknowledgement and or action plan to remedy the problem.
Typically sites come through with missing links like the BBC today

AppleScript - Writing to non-existent directories, and non-existent files..

All,
AppleScript - Writing to non-existent directories, and non-existent files...
Creating directories several levels deep on the fly.
How do we write to a file that does not exist, buried deep down in a hierarchy of directories that don't exist either...
In trying to do this I explored two options. One used AppleScript, assisted by UNIX, which was simplicity itself, the other one used only AppleScript and was considerably more complex, and slower.

Very slow or non-existent broadband in the evening...

Why is it that when you contact BT about a slow or non-existent BT broadband every evening, they doggedly maintain that testing the line and waiting seven days will solve the problem? My BT broadband works wonderfully well during the daytime but slows to a standstill in the evening, not really a line problem, rather a bit of exchange congestion I think, unless of course you believe in conspiracies.
What if BT are actually setting the lines that have the old white HomeHub and Internet phone to a lower priority than the Infinity lines, to boost the performance of the new connections and encourage, (force), the current HomeHub users to upgrade? I rather like having two telephone lines, and would rather not upgrade and lose the second line, but I feel that this is not what BT want.
So if I'm forced to upgrade and lose the Internet phone it's off to Sky, those Murdochs need all the help they can get.
Solved!

Very slow/non-existant connection and crackling no...

Hi, I am using Homehub option 2 (if I remember correctly, where can I check this?) and as the title says I am getting a very slow and sometimes no connection at all from my boardband, as well as crackling noises from the phone itself for 2 weeks. The connection is so bad I have to use BT FON on my neighbour's to visit this forum. I phoned up once last Saturday and the guy told me there were some construction problems nearby and I had to wait. On Monday I received a text saying the fault had been fixed. I wasn't at home at all until Wednesday so I hadn't the chance to check. However the problem is still there and the crackling noise on my phone is too loud for me to phone them again. Anyway, enough with my rambling. Here's my ADSL line status. Any help will be appreciated.

ADSL2+ and FTTC only
When first activated, your line is 'fully rate adaptive'. This means there's no upper limit to your sync speed (within the capabilities of your broadband product).
If your line drops frequently, has a high error rate or severe noise problems, a banded profile can be applied to aid stability.
This will force your line to sync within the range of an assigned band and is used to limit the sync rate when it's not stable above a certain rate.
The table below shows the bands used on ADSL2+ products. Details of the bands used on FTTC products has not yet been published by BT Wholesale.

I have a Verizon IPhone 4 with IOS 5.0.1 and I'm having trouble connecting to an open network called linksys that says I'm connected with the wifi icon in the menu bar but it's a slow to non existing connection? Anyone in similar situation?

My other questions were anyone in a similar situation? Should I get wifi in my home? What is the best provider in Chicago?

Since the network obviously doesn't belong to you, we're not going to be able to suggest much you can do to fix it. As for getting wifi in your home, do you not already have Internet access? Wireless routers are cheap if you already have wired Internet. If you don't, the "best" provider may not be a relevant question. You probably have 2, maybe 3 choices. Your cable company, your phone company and probably one other choice that is actually running piggyback on either the cable or phone company. If you're in a high rise, the building may have their own service you can buy into.

LR 1.3.1 waiting for non-existing xmp and thm files

I am experiencing a problem where Lightroom 1.3.1 stalls while I am scrolling through larger folders/collections. This happens on some (specific) folders only, but can get to a point where LR becomes unusable.
Trying to nail that down, I used a file monitor (filemon from sysinternals) and spotted that LR is looking for xmp and thm files that do not exist. The reason this is slow for me probably relates to the fact, that this search happens over my local network (because my original photos are on a different computer). Estimating numbers, LR waits approx 500 ms per photo (looking for .xmp, .XMP, .thm and .THM in that time), but only for some photos in that folder.
I upgraded from 1.2 to 1.3.1 and am quite certain, that this was smooth with 1.2.
My catalog definitely doesn't write to xmp automatically. I do in fact not have a single xmp file in any of my directories. In catalog settings I also have the 'Include develop settings in metadata in jpg...' deactivated (what does that btw?).
Anyone experiencing similar issues? Any ideas what I am doing wrong here? Why is LR looking for those files in the first place?
Stefan

I am actually a bit surprised I am the only one hitting that problem.
Does anyone else have a setup where the original photos are on a networked machine, and the working catalog is on the local machine where Lightroom is running? I assume this is why I am experiencing long delays whereas 'normal' users just don't notice that problem...

Re: Very slow or non-existent broadband in the eve...

I am having the same problem, every evening usually between 9 pm and 10 pm but at other time as well. Slower at other times in the evening as well.
I consider that the problem is serious enough that BT have not fullfilled their part of the contract.

How to display a empty (non-existing) column and info in LAST row

Hello!
I´m trying to create the code that diplays all authors (author.name), empty COLUMN, NR_OF_BOOK_PER_AUTHOR.
I want the LAST ROW to display: (column1) the word 'Sum:', (column2) nr of authors, (column3) total sum of all books
Headache: How do I display the EMPTY column and how do I get the LAST ROW to display column1) 'Sum:', (column2) nr of authors, (column3) total sum of all books
It should look like this:
AUTHOR EMPTY NR_OF_BOOKS_PER_AUTHOR
I can list all authors and NR_OF_BOOKS_PER_AUTHOR using this code:
SELECT A.NAME, COUNT(B.ROWID)
FROM AUTHOR A, BOOK B
WHERE B.AUTHOR_ID = A.ID
GROUP BY A.NAME
ORDER BY COUNT(B.ROWID)
I can count the numbers of authors (should be displayed in last row column2) using:
SELECT COUNT(name)
FROM author
and I can list the total amount of books (should be displayed in last row column3) using:
SELECT COUNT(title)
FROM book
But I come up short with how to display the EMPTY column and the last row containing (column1) the word 'Sum:', (column2) nr of authors, (column3) total sum of all books
Any suggestions?
Best regards,
Daniel

I want the LAST ROW to display: (column1) the word 'Sum:', (column2) nr of authors, (column3) total sum of all booksHave a look at GROUP BY with CUBE or ROLLUP.

Firewire 800 Readers non-existent except on ebay for $169?

Did someone stockpile them to sell them to mac users who don't have an express card slot in there mac seems crazy. Any comparisons on speed difference when reading from firewire 400/800 on high speed cards

Probably better to just get a USB2 or USB3 card reader.

ITunes "remembers" non-existing info?!

I entered all the necessary infos for each track manualy. I burned CD. After I finished the job I erased everything regarding this music compilation from my laptop.
I inserted other CD (I've burned some time ago) to listen to the music - instead of this inserted CD tracks infos, I got infos not existing any more (from the CD I just burned)!?
Is it possible iTunes "remembers" non-existing infos and "attaches" it as they are connected to another CD? It reminds me of battery "memory"! Any clue or any similar experience? Thank you.
Aluminum PowerBook 15 G4 1.25 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

By default, when you insert a CD, iTunes will fetch title and track info from the Gracenote CD database (CDDB). This works only through analysis of the number and length of tracks on the disc.
The info you entered manually was never saved on the CD you burned, but in iTunes. This is why, when you insert a similar CD (same number and duration of tracks), iTunes thinks it's the same disc and the info will show up again.

Safari and eBay/Audible

Anyone else having trouble with eBay (Page not responding messages) and/or Audible (pages never finish loading)? I think the Audible problem started when they redesigned their site. (If it's working, don't mess with it??). I'm not sure about eBay, it seemed to show up with Safari 4, but reverting to 3.2.3 doesn't help. (I used Pacifist and replaced all the 4.0.2 files with the 3.2.3 files, not just the app.)
With eBay I have to be logged in; when I view an item it will start to display and then the page clears to a "Page not responding" message. If I hit the stop (X) button soon enough, I can save the page before it clears.
With Audible I have to sign in, then the home page just keeps loading, and loading, and loading. The "completed xxx of xxx items" just keeps chasing itself with the first number just behind the second as they both increment.
(I've reset Safari.)

I was looking around in the Apple support area and I found a Safari troubleshooting tip suggesting that I create as new account and run Safari from there. Sounded like a good idea as it eliminates any customizations. And I can totally reset Safari in that account without loosing my forms and passwords.
Unfortunately I got the same results; non functioning Audible and eBay.

IPhoto repeatedly tries to import non-existing photos

I recently deleted 100 photos from iphoto. Now whenever I open iPhoto a box pops up that says "2 photos have been found in the iPhoto library that have not been imported. Would you like to import them?" Whether I click yes or no, a second box will pop up saying that the photos have been placed in a recovery file. This process happens 2 times every time I open iPhoto. The empty "recovery" files continue to build each time this happens. How do i make iPhoto stop asking me about these 2 non-existent photos, and how do I make it stop creating recovery files?

Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
Start iPhoto. Does that help?
If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.

Unity connection 8.5 location requesting non existing dependent during replication

Hi,
We have 2 cluster of Unity connection 8.5 both in HA (4 servers total). One cluster in city A et the other cluster in city B. Last week, replication between both clusters broke after the creation of a user on cluster A that had duplicated entries/conflicts in cluster B. We deleted the user from cluster A to bring the replication back, but the user never got deleted from cluster B. We went ahead and manually pushed the DB from A to B, problem solved, the user disappeared from Cluster B.
Here is where it gets interesting, since that event, Cluster B requests every 40 minutes or so that Cluster A provides information on a dependant object. A delay is present in the response from Cluster A, and a CUReplicator error shows up in RTMT with an PKID object number. That dependant object was traced back to be the EndUser PKID of the problematic user mentioned above. As you may guess, that user is nonexistent, we erased it. I queried the enduser table in the hope of finding a loose end, nothing on all clusters. I queried in the distribution list tables on Cluster B, thinking that the user may have been a member of a Cluster B distribution list,,,no luck.
So anybody has any idea how I can track a non existing dependence and stop Cluster B from asking for it?

Applescript Utility insists on non-existent Script Editor.app 2.1.2

I recently got Script Editor to work after years of being bugged (was a 4 step process ending with replacing the resources folder in the package). It hadn't worked across several OSX clean installs, so there's no clue to what caused the corruption.
Now, even though the Editor works, Utility only has 2.1.2 in it's pulldown. I have tried numerous times, including with a shut-down, to get this to "Select" the working Editor (2.1.1), but even though it is selected through the file-selector, it never gets set in the pulldown. The utility is 1.0. I've also checked system archives from 1, 2, and 3 years ago, and there has never been a version 2.1.2 on the computers we use.
Will Applescript work properly with this incorrect listing for a non-existent version, and therefore unlocatable Editor? It would be very foolish to start writing scripts if the foundation upon which they are written is still fundamentally damaged. And will the only effect of this be that all Editor access must be done by clicking on an icon or alias?
--Thanks

The '2.1.2' version, which is only 404 kb, does not launch. Version 2.1.1 opens correctly and is 12.4 mb. Also, version '2.1.2' has a generic application icon (the pencil/paintbrush-A over blank document) whereas the 2.1.1 version has a script/pen icon if that helps. Both versions are, however, 2.1._ (either 2.1.1 or 2.1.2), not 2.2._, which I believe is the Leopard version that you had mentioned.
I can't say for sure that this folder/app hasn't been in my finder for a while or not as it has only been as of this week that I switched my Finder's view from the standard icon view to 'columns' view without preview icons (that's how I noticed the duplicate folders with the same names stacked on top of each other). Thanks again for all your help.
Best,
John
