So-called improvements

To Whom it may concern I was going to ask for a chat, but even that is now difficult, Oh! Sorry was that part of the improvement? Because I have just downloaded the latest version of SKYPE, and would like to ask what improvements have been made.Last night I had a perfect 2.5 hour session with my brother, both had a great picture and the sound was good. NOW HOW CAN YOU IMPROVE ON THAT?However, now I have now lost the display of my contacts profile pictures, which has been there since SKYPE began, Squares, then circles and now none, and the amount of signal saving is negligible, and as an Avionics Engineer, I know.Another complaint I have, is, I have selected to be visible “ONLY TO MY CONTACTS”, but I have had a number of requests to be added as a contact to other users, from S Africa, Ghana, Nigeria, Botswana, Hungary, Bulgaria just to name a few.Now, if I am only visible to my contacts, how is it that I receive these invitations, or do they just ‘look’ up to the sky and say, Ah, Joe Bloggs? And call me, I don’t think so.I have told you that your heading, ”SKYPE is better with friends” I have said, SKYPE is the greatest with any-one, so why just friends, and I do not wish to be rude to the person who put that in, but is that is all He or She has?You Cannot Improve the Operation of SKYPE, all that is needed is the name of your contact, and YES a picture is not necessary, it only serves for, ‘Visual’ recognition.I am just going to send this to ‘Chat’ or ‘Email’ in the hope that some responsible person will read it and act accordingly.I do not wish a response because there is not enough time to type an answer when talking to a representative on Chat.However finally I will say, I cannot say you have made the operation worse, NO, but you definitely have not improved any part of it eitherDoes any-one agree with this, that’s if it is displayed?

Have you tried searching the forum? There's been lots of topics about v50 already.
If it's taking that long to save a photo then you either have a slightly corrupt memory card or some other problem that requires a reset.

  • Spaces has been broken (IMO) since 10.6 and is still broken in 10.6.3...

    As many recall, Spaces was introduced in OS X 10.5 Leopard... From the get go I found it one of the most useful utilities to come along in a long time... What a great way to organize a desktop... I would set up Space 1 to be Web browsers, Space 2 for email clients, Space 3 for running Windows on my Mac, Space 4 for Excel and so forth... Twas wonderful... If I had multiple Excel spreadsheets open I could go find them all over in Space 4 and with no other clutter, just Excel, nice and clean...
    And then Snow Leopard came along and it all changed... Since OS X 10.6 first came out and still through today in 10.6.3, on first open of a given application, as it should it will still open in its assigned Space, like for me, the first Excel document will still open in Space 4 no matter what Space I am in when I launch Excel... So far, so good...
    But, for every subsequent opening of an Excel document, the document will open in whatever Space you happen to be in at the time... Busted... Almost worthless (IMO)... Why bother to have an assigned Space if in fact, it really isn't the Space where a given app's docs will open??? In Leopard they opened in one, defined Space... Made sense... In Snow Leopard, they open all over the place even if there is an assigned Space... Seems to make no sense...
    But what I find amazing is almost no one seems to care... Myself and three or four other posters have been talking about this since Snow Leopard first came out... But no one else... And that same small group of folks have all used Feedback to let Apple know we think it was sooooo much more useful in Leopard, but update after update, it stays in this (IMO) far less useful mode...
    One question I have is does the very small number of folks who have seemed to talk about this means that folks don't use Spaces???? Or does it mean that maybe I'm crazy and that others can imagine how the way it is deployed in Snow Leopard is not really broken but instead the way Apple intends it to work????
    I've pretty much given up on Apple ever responding... I have actually gotten in the habit of manually switching to the Space BEFORE I open say a second or subsequent Excel doc into Space 4 (in my case). But that's more work, not less, and manually switching to the Space first seems to defeat the entire purpose for Spaces in the first place...
    Anyway, if anyone has any comments I'd be interested in hearing them...
    thanks much... bob..

    My huge annoyance is how Preview converts ai, .eps and .ps files to .pdf files.
    It has progressively deteriorated from Tiger to Leopard to Snow Leopard.
    In Leopard it defaulted to saving the .pdfs to the Documents folder not the place of origin and would regularly crash if more than a few (sometimes just 2) files were opened simultaneously.
    In Snow Leopard nothing was fixed and now the names are stripped off the converted files so that they are all called Untitled.
    Apple must have received hundreds of bug reports (I diligently sent one every time Preview crashed) and several feedbacks detailing the problem, to the point I believe persecuting Designers and ruining their work has become a NEXT programmers secret objective.
    Except for a couple of minor bug fixes to do with drag & drop in Preview, I am puzzled where the so-called improvements in Snow Leopard really benefit user.

    The reps from the social media team that post on this community don't comment except to say they don't know if or when an update could be released. The phone reps are the same way.
    As for me, I'm just another customer like yourself. The difference is that I have seen the pattern for updates for the last three to four years for Android devices through this community forum. The pattern is easy to recognize now and frankly it is exhausting to read the rants for wanting an update to where is the update and on the update messed up my phone then others suggesting to factory reset the phone clear out the leftover old code. The Moto X is just another phone in that long line of devices not just on this carrier, but all the others that support Android, Windows, iOS and BlackBerry devices.

  • Performanc​e issues - CVI 2010

    Hi all,
    I have code I've compiled on a development machine - XP Pro with SP3 - and I'm seeing some performance issues on a similarly configured test machine.  2GB Ram, Pentium 4 CPU 2.8GHz.  I had our IT person clean off another machine for me to use exclusively for testing (the other machine is our Tester's PC) and he gave me one with an Intel Core2 4300 @ 1.80 GHz.  My code on my test machine runs like a top with NO problems. 
    We have another PC running Win7 on an Intel Core i5-2400 @ 3.10 GHz, RAM = 4GB.  The code should be screaming on this machine but we're seeing performance problems here, too, that I believe may be due to the OS - Win7 may be a real hog.
    Can anyone make sense of this?  Is the dual core that much better even though that CPU is rated lower in PassMark Bench Ratings (http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php).  We're trying to work all this out so we can advise the customer on which machine he needs to run our software.
    Thanks,
    Judy

    Hi Judy,
    Looking at the spreadsheet it seems unlikely that memory or cpu requirements are the root cause of the issue because the second machine in the spreadsheet with poor "performance" has almost twice the CPU clock speed and twice the physical memory of the fourth machine that runs well.
    It sounds like your application is a fairly complex application that involves both GUI components and instrument I/O so what needs to be done is determine what part of the application is causing the bottleneck. There are many different factors which if not considered properly when developing applications that can cause performance problems such as thread deadlocks, device driver problems with the instruments or other hardware, needing to adjust the sleep policy for GUI events, writing to TDMS files in CVI versions before 2010 SP1, having memory leaks in the application code, etc. There is also a KB called Improving Performance of LabWindows™/CVI Applications that describes some changes which may help improve performance.
    The overall message is that it is not only CPU speed and quantity of RAM available that can cause performance problems. A way to check the amount of RAM used by an application and CPU Utilization is to use the Windows 7 Resource Monitor to watch the application. This can be done by running Task Manager (ctrl + shift + esc), selecting the Performance tab and pressing Resource Monitor. This will open the Resource Monitor window where you can check CPU usage, Memory, Disk and Network usage for the application while it is running.

  • When in safari how can i have more than one window open?? New ios doesnt allow it.

    Problem is when i updated to the newest ios 7. The dang thing doesnt allow me to have more than one window open at any time. This only makes things repetitive, complicated and slow. Moreover, the icons and overall view are probably designed to be in a kindergarden game, cos they look really stupid on iPad, whos gonna take apple seriously with this so called "improvements". If anyone knows how to open more than one window at at atime i,ll be really grateful to be told. Or if anyone can tell me how to uninstall the friking update i,ll be even more grateful. Thanx guys.

  • ITunes 10.2.2 does not stay minimized when updating Apps in iTunes Store

    Running iTunes 10.2.2 on Mac OS X 10.6.7, when I'm on the iTunes store, and request it to update all my iPhone Apps and then I minimize iTunes, it pops up again at every new download interfering with whatever task I'm doing.
    Why won't iTunes stay minimized and run tasks in the background and constantly pop-up for attention?
    THanks,
    Daniel

    I am having the same problem. I can't actualy minimize itunes at all. It stays open in full screen unless i go to the task manager. And then when I do anything in iTunes, even if I am in another app, it pops back into full screen.
    The last four or five versions of iTunes have absolutely sucked ***.
    Yet another annoying so called "improvement." What is wrong with you people at Apple? If you take your car to the mechanic to fix the windshield, they don't add a fifth wheel...

  • I have lost my Norton log-in function and safe site feature since downloading the new, and not so good in my opinion, version of Mozilla Firefox, and I want theses features back so how do I get them back?

    I downloaded and installed the latest MF version, but now I have lost my Norton funtions in the bar under the address bar.
    Safe site and log-in. I want my Norton features back please so what do I have to do to get this?
    I'm not happy at losing these features and am not at all pleased with your so called improvements and wished you had left things alone, everything was working fine before.
    Help me get back my Norton functions.

    Norton Version 5.0 works with Mozilla 4.0 with a patch from Norton. I went to Norton help tab, chat line, and Norton assistant took over my computer, upgraded my Norton version 3.0, and installed the patch free of charge. all problems solved.

  • ICloud photos doesn't sync with PC after iOS 8 installation on iPad

    After installing iOS 8 on my iOS devices (3), photos no longer sync with my PC. Sync worked ok before the iOS so-called 'upgrade', but now it doesn't. Contacts and Calendar seem still to sync, but not photos. Once again, Apple runs ahead with changes without bothering to think through how the so-called improvements will affect services that worked fine before. I'd dearly love it if someone could help to make photo sync work again. Thanks.

  • Connecting to the update has been connecting for more than 6 hourand is still trying to connect when will it finish downloading the suggested update?s, why? This update has slowed me down way too much.

    A window opened when I started that said " We strongly suggest that you update......" I did not want to but each time I turned my computer on the same window pops up with the "strongly suggest" and my computer began to run slower and stop lot. So I finally pressed the bar for more information..But never got any. My computer continued to keep "stop script" and run slow. So after several days of this I clicked on "Next" to download the update and it has been" Connecting to the update server" for over 6 hours now and still running little green boxes in a frame over and over and over. Why is this happening?

  • Rather significant BUG in Lightroom 3.0-3.2

    Ok, I have found a really annoying bug in Lightroom. It was not there in 2.0, but is in 3.0 and 3.2.  (I use the MAC version)
    When in the library module,  if you select a number of images and switch to the survey view.   You cannot mark individual images as rejected.   I have tried the following.
    1.  Highlight an image and hit X and ALL images are marked rejected.
    2.  Zoom in on an image and use arrow keys to switch between images and mark X,  ALL images are rejected.
    3.  Actually click on an individual rejected flag under a single image, and again.  All images in the survey view are marked as rejected.
    Other instances of this bug:
    -You can click on a rating on any individual image and it works fine,  however if you hit the number of the rating,  (4 for instance), then ALL images are ranked as four stars.
    -If you either click on the color rating or hit 6-0, then ALL images are flagged with a color.
    This bug effectively ruins survey mode.  In previous versions survey mode was a great way to pull up images that are similar and to go through them, if you wanted to reject one, you would hit X and only that image was rejected...    Now,  there is no good way to rank and flag images in survey mode... The ONLY way it works is to click on an individual dot under an image to rate, but don't hit the number, or it will apply to all selected.
    I can see it doing this if you are in the normal Grid or Loupe view, then it should apply to all selected, but survey mode should not behave this way.  Please go back to the way it was in previous versions.
    Thanks

    In previous versions activating Auto Sync required the use of a modifier key and even then was only available in Develop module. However, following representations it was added to the Library module. A switch was added to the Synchronize button and an enabling command added to the Metadata menu. These so called improvements were intended to make the feature more discoverable and flexible. Unfortunately, they also make it more easier to screw up multiple images whilst leaving the wondering what they did wrong.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    ’We will add more countries and variants to the rollout based on market requests.’’
    There is no request, there is an absolute necessity! Patience is usually my second nature, but the whole non communication policy since the launch of the Nokia Lumia 800 is scandalous. When Nokia finally listening to their customers and responds quickly to problems and childhood illnesses. Like many others with me I'll be forced to daily to plug my device to the Zune software in the hope that Nokia (Netherlands) will be so kind to update my phone.
    Nokia, listen, communicate (especially in the media and forums) and trade as a company that lives up to your image.

  • Remove menu bar from second monitor maverick

    Hi, Can i Remove menu bar from second monitor maverick ?
    Thanks

    Apple has sort of screwed up the whole full-screen / multi-screen features of OSX. I get it's hard to achive it all in a "perfect way" for everyone but the so called "improved" multi-screen features of 10.9 add a number of issue on top of the "fixes".
    1. Switching between apps with CMD + TAB is bugged with using 10.9 screen-setup. The OS doesn't understand what screen I'm using and the CMD + TAB feature shows up on screen 1 or screen 2. The only way I've found to controll this is by activating the DOCK on either screen which is a very bad solution.
    2. Spotlight searching always follows the "active" screen. At least 10.9 understands what screen is my active one but in this case I never ever want screen 2 to have Spotlight on it. Very irriting.
    3. Remembering application positions. If I open an app from the dock on screen 1, place it on screen 2 close it and again open it from the dock on screen 1 the app will open on screen 1 and not screen 2. Some apps will remember certain windows on the correct display. A solution is to open the app from the dock on the display you want it on. Very irritiating.
    4. Swiching between apps is also bugged. Concider I have mail on screen 2 and a new mail window on screen 1. I CMD + TAB to Safari on screen 2 after starting to write the new mail on screen 1. No problems here. If I now howvever CMD + TAB back to mail, the last active window (new mail window on screen 1) won't be active. Very irritating.
    As noted above, going back to what we had in 10.7 and 10.8 solves these issues but doesn't solve Apples horrible fullscreen app issues. I'd go as far as saying Apple hasn't really fixed anything in 10.9 - only cause more issues and confusing behavoir. Fullscreen apps are often very lacking in funktion, having safari or mail fullscreen renders them on a large screen very very limited compared to "maximized". It's also very confusion that you are required to travel between virtual desktops to use full-screen apps. I personally would prefer the option of "layered fullscreen apps". For example VLC allows me to work this way.

  • Temp tables in procedure

    Hi,
    I am trying to develop a procedure in which i have to create four tables to improve the performance of the procedure.
    is there any other way in which i can do this? i don't want to create four table objects. if i use global temporary table. then also it will create structure in DB. i tried with table of records method. that is getting too complicated since its a very big procedure.
    can anyone suggest me other ways of achieving this?

    user12288167 wrote:
    this procedure is called at the same time by 10 different interfaces. the procedure has 4 temp tables now, which are required to improve the performance. after all the processing is done it will insert the result into a final table. Temp tables are not required to improve performance. In fact, it slows things down and make performance worse.
    What db operation has the single largest performance impact? I/O.
    What does your so-called "+improvment+" do with temp tables? Generate more I/O for creating data in the temp tables and manipulate data in the temp tables.
    So, how can generating more I/O be a performance improvement??
    so we need separate tables for all these interfaces.i.e. 5*10=50 tables in all which is not acceptable by our project.
    or is there any way to implement wait in the procedure while it is being accessed somewhere else?You need to scrap that procedure entirely. It is pretty much junk and will perform like junk.
    There is very seldom a need for temp tables in Oracle. Very Important: The reasons for using temp tables in SQL-Server/Informix/etc DOES NOT exist in Oracle.
    In Oracle, readers of data NEVER blocks writers of data. And writers of data NEVER blocks readers of data. Oracle provides and guarantees read consistency. There is no need for temp tables to deal with the lack of data consistency or (unwarranted) read/write serialisation.
    Read up on Oracle read consistency - and use that, correctly. Without resorting to hacks like you had to do with temp tables in other (inferior) database products.

  • FlashMX problem in Windows7

    I have been using FlashMX  since about 2003 and have produced hundreds of movies and web sites. I recently upgraded from WindowsXP to Windows7. What a nightmare - Windows 7 that is. It as created havoc with many files.
    My FlashMX authoring program runs slow - for example if I select a symbol to edit it, a marquee forms around the element and slowly expands to fill the stage - this can take 5 seconds where normally next input would be instantaneous - after editing -in return to the main scene the same marquee operates in reverse taking more time. This is making the whole creative process a pain to say the least.
    I am also running a trial of Flash CS5.5 and find I am totally lost - everything I would normally do seems forbidden or is such a roundabout route as to make creation a prolonged battle of wits and is frankly making me think of using Swish. Adobe do offer a lot of help n the form of tutorial videos - these will take me months to view, time I haven`t got. The earlier editions were much more intuitive to use in my opinion.
    Like many advances in technology, so called improvements or enhancements just complicate issues to the point of making them virtually useless.  
    My  question here is does anybody know a cure for the Marquee problem?
    Any suggestions welcome
    Thank you

    Hi, since reporting the above problem I have resumed working in FlashMX for a fairly large project. I have tried a trial version of Flash CS5 but really do not like it and do not think it is worth paying all that money when the old software does the job - when it runs! Strangely, I was started using MX a week ago and it crashed on opening. I spent a day trying to get it to work with mounting frustration. I tried reverting to WindowsXP by changing the boot disk choice on the bios. Weird, Windows 7 will not relinquish control and other than unpluging the Windows 7 drive my system defaults to W7 (!?!). 3 Days ago Flash started working ok and I enjoyed some creative time. This morning Flash MX will not start again and I have spent another few hours trying all sorts of things. Here is the error message:

  • How does one get rid of opaque strip?

    I cannot begin to express how much I hate this so-called "improvement". How does one rid the screen of the tiresome opaque strip at the bottom? As to the new icons, Apple seem to have employed an incompetent child to design them.

    How does one rid the screen of the tiresome opaque strip at the bottom?
    You can't. But it's still the same dock area as before, just not transparent with a physical-looking "shelf" as iOS 6 had.
    As to the new icons, Apple seem to have employed an incompetent child to design them.
    I disagree completely.
    But you can comment to Apple via their feedback pages, if you wish:
