Spotlight is in a continuous loop...

Hello! My name is Filippo.
I have a big problem. Spotlight is in a continuous loop and indexing restart, making my Macbook unusable.
Can you help me? I have turn off spotlight, erase the index and then turn on, but the problem hasn't gone away.
An important note: mdimport -L return null instead a list of import.
Thank you!

Hi
My iMac started doing this too a couple of days ago. Index, index, index, with the HD whirring away all the time, and a serious overhead on the CPU, slowing down my use of MS Windows, Entourage, Finder, you name it. I let it run all night last night, hoping to clear itself, but no, its been indexing all day today as well. It finishes one indexing run (estimating 2 hours to complete) then immediately starts another, which also estimates several hours to complete.
I've turned off indexing for now using "mdutil -i off /" (thanks to V.K. for this tip), but thats only put a patch on it. I guess that in this non-indexing state Spotlight will rapidly become u/s, which will remove some fantastic functionality that I find really useful.
I want to know
- why it has started doing this?
- how can I stop it doing it, but retain Spotlight functionality?
- how can I stop it happening again?
No point me buying 2.8GHz if its crippled by some bug!!
Thanks to all in advance

Nobody get back to me on my other question, so I'm going to try again. I am making a PowerPoint for a meeting and I want to take a 3D PDF and have it spin or rotate on a continuous loop. How can I accomplish this?

Please ignore PowerPoint comment, I can make the 3D PDF no problem with my converter plug-in for AutoCAD. Once it is made though you can spin it by hand/mouse in Adobe. but I want a video like scene with the object spinning by itself for modeling purposes?

Connect by loop how to prevent continuous loop

We have a forms environment and in one area of the system its possible to create a continuos loop i.e
part 1
----> Part 2
------>part1
We get round this currently using the nocycle option in our connect by and checking the values of the connect_by_iscycle option. But we only do the check this after a commit.. meaning user has to manually amend. I was wondering how people validated there was not a continuous loop before the commit?
Thanks

use CONNECT_BY_ISCYCLE to check the problem

I am trying to update my iphone software from 4.2.5 through my Mac but am not successful. It just goes into a continuous loop saying that there is an update available and to install and restart but the update never happens.

I am unable to update my iphone software 4.2.5 to the latest version through my Mac. I get into a continuous loop of clicking on update and getting the message to restart the computer. But nothing updates.

I imagine you are talking about iPhone 4 CDMA (Verizon, Sprint). iTunes will only allow Update or Restore to iOS 6.0.1 You need to update iTunes on your computer to current version 10.7, with computer click the iTunes Tab at the top of this page and install current iTunes 10.7 If this iTunes will not install you may need to update your computer System, or try a different computer.

Adobe FormsCentral Sign In Continuous Loop Issue

Hi,
One of my co-worker is trying to sign in FormsCentral but once she enters her e-mail and password it goes into a continuous loop. By continuous loop, I mean that the page is blank and the browser is loading and looping in between 3 Adobe related URL but never loads anything.
It works from my computer. We both have the same Internet Explorer version (11.0.11). I tried it on the Internet Explorer without Add-on and it does the same thing.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Thank you in advance for your help!

I think I've seen this on machines which do not have Flash installed.
1. Check for Flash
2. Try Firefox
3. Try Chrome (which has a built-in Flash player)
Hope that helps,
Brian

How do I continually loop frames with a 20 second pause in each frame from the same scene without going to the next scene?

How do I continually loop frames with a 20 second pause in each frame from the same scene without going to the next scene? There are buttons for the other scenes in these frames. The below works well until I am at the last frame in scene one, then it goes to the next scene and plays. How can I make scene one a continually loop.
stop();
var timer:Timer = new Timer(20000,0);//<--
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerHandler);
timer.start();
function timerHandler(event:TimerEvent):void {
    this.nextFrame();
    //or if you want to jump e.g 5 frames
    this.gotoAndStop(this.currentFrame+5);
Thank you for any help.

For this code to work, you need to empty the first frame and place all the photos a frame ahead. Then, place this code on the first frame. DONE!
If you need more help, I'll try to answer it the fastest I can.
Oh, and I could actualy make your photos fade out and fade in as they rotate from frame to frame, it would be awesome. Just tell me if you want me to do it. Good luck
import flash.display.Scene;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
stop();
var timer:Timer = new Timer(2000,0);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerHandler);
timer.start();
function timerHandler(event:TimerEvent):void {
if (this.currentScene.name == "Scene 1") {
if (this.currentFrame != this.currentScene.numFrames) {
   this.nextFrame();
} else {
   this.gotoAndStop(2);
nextFrame();

Creating a movie for a web page and making it continuously loop

Hi all! I have a client who wants me to create a slide show with 7 images at a specific size for his web page. He wants it to continuously loop. I don't know much about this. Where can I go to learn how? I can make the movie... but I'm not sure what to export it as... and what the settings should be to enable me to make it the correct size and so that it loops. Thank you!
I'm using iMovie '08 on my iMac.
PS: When I looked up online for help, all I found was how to make a movie loop on one's computer. Not on web pages.

.gif files are supported in all browsers and do not need any special "player". They are very limited in their support of colors and most Web pages rarely use them anymore.
QuickTime .mov files can be set to "loop" (as explained above). Much more colors (millions).
iMovie is the wrong tool to make your file (and it doesn't create .swf format).
QuickTime Player Pro is the tool you need. It can import an "image sequence", set the frame rate (up to ten seconds per frame) and save the file in the .mov container.

How to execute the functionality of button at a time of pressing if function is in continuous loop?

Hello,
I am facing one basic problem that how can I execute the button which I have used in my vi at a time of pressing means in my vi I have used 4 button 1. Start 2. OK 3. Save and 4. Stop button
when user press start button then continuous loop will be executed and after pressing OK it will stop that loop and waiting for next instruction from user whether he want to do reading operation again or he want to save or he want to stop.
The thing is when I press start button then while loop is execute then its not possible to press stop button or save button, user need to wait until OK button is pressed.
Will you please guide me how can I do so that when ever user press any button that button is executed at time.
Thank you very much once again.

Hi Ankit,
There are some issue in your code mention below please have a look and correct these will work fine for your requirement.
1. Save button Boolean value pass to the lower wheel conditional loop means if you press save your bottom loop will stop working this is not the code requirement you have to continue loop and tigger start event in last using value tigger event property to tigger again start event.
This step will reset your loop and start from zero.
2. According to me I think both loop should stop only in stop condition so you can remove stop function from upper loop and pass the button value in both loop directly to wheel loop condition terminal.
Upper loop direct and lower both loop local variable.
3. Why you want to stop your upper loop on any error condition, you should Handel the errors and keep running the code.
4. What is the use of queue no case related with dequeue in bottom loop.
5. Wheel loop in a event is not good practice so you can use your queue structure here to run continuous lower code.
I hope these changes can improve your code.
Thanks and Regards

How to automate two images in a continual loop

I'm a newbie to Flex and would like to take two images that I have and basically display them in the same spot one after another in a continuous loop (cheap automation?). I looked into different effects like Fade, but am stumped how to do something like this in continuous loop. Most samples show different effects as a result of clicking a button or mousing over an image ... thanks!

Continuous loop!

My iPhone 5 shut down with 23% battery left, I charged it when the battery charge sign came on phone then it went to a white screen with Apple sign and then back to battery charge sign and now in a continuous loop. I then plugged iit into the computer to connect to iTunes, Managged to get that done for a restore then three minutes left it says there was a problem with sending it over the network. Does anyone have any idea what's wrong?????

Hello Mamasiphone,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
I see your iPhone is restarting to a white screen. You can use the information in this article to troubleshoot your issues.

Continuous loop with graphic symbols

Hi,
I have created a slide show that fades in and out using graphic symbols. I would like this to continously loop in Dreamweaver. How do I set it up in either Flash or Dreamweaver to continuously loop?
Thanks

I doubt that the number of frames involved is an issue. A Google search tells me the max for a Flash file is 16,000 frames.
Does the file play thru entirely, to the very last frame? To be sure it does, place some unique visual in the last frame (like "The End").
If it does play thru to the very end, then you can add the following code to the last frame and see if it forces the looping:
gotoAndPlay(1);
To add it, select the frame in the timeline, and enter the code in the Actions panel... That small 'a' I mentioned should appear in the frame if done correctly.
I don't have CS4 primarily because of all the problems that have been reported with it since it was released. I cannot say whether you are encountering a known issue with it. The bottom line is, if a timeline-based movie has no code to make it do otherwise, it should continuously loop on its own.

80GB ipod needs restoring but wont on a continuous loop

every time i go to restore my i pod classic (80 gig) a box comes up saying "Itunes has detected an ipod in recovery mode You must restore this ipod so it can be used with Itunes" the process just goes on and on i go to restore it extracts data goes to recover the ipod and then it says back to factory settings wait 15 seconds then the 1 st fault re appears (detected i pod in recovery mode ..)HELP PLEASE
Thanks so much to anyone who can help me =]

Find your nearest apple service centre which you can find under the support link and give them a ring ,i did after my 80gb ipod went wrong all of a sudden after a month,they said bring it in we will try to fix it and if we cant we will get you a new one which they did and it took 2 days ,I had spent the previous 2 weeks trying various solutions from this forum untill it eventually fell into a continuous loop of "needs to be restored",warranty covers you for a year from purchase

PXI: Continuous loops necessary?

Hi, everyone!
I'm currently trying to learn how to use labview RT and PXI-systems. Unfortunately I have noone here at the company to ask, so my questions are quite basic stuff. My VI's are not supposed to perform any control tasks, only sampling and analysis, so the Real-Time behaviour of RT is not necessary. My problems concern the cooperation between VI's deployed on the PXI-system and VI's on the host computer.
1) All examples I have studied use continuous loops, either timed loops or while-loops. Is this absolutely necessary? Can I deploy a VI to the pxi-system and then call it repeatedly just like any other sub-VI in labview or does the PXI system require at least one main VI that runs continuously and which may or may not call other sub VI's?
2) Does the main VI on the PXI-system always have to be started prior to starting the host VI? This seems rather awkward to me. Why can't you just start the host program and let labview take care of the rest..?
3) Why are shared variables unable to handle arrays larger than 1D? How do I transfer 2D arrays of sampled data to the host computer during program operation? I saw a suggestion on this site that involved using the "reshape array" VI twice (once at the target and once at the host), but don't tell me that someone hasn't considered this obvious problem before? Is it simply so that the PXI-systems are not supposed to be used for pure sampling purposes where you acquire large amounts of data continuously at a card located in the PXI and transfer it to the host computer consequtively? According to my estimates the TCP network connection should have more than enough bandwith to handle this.
Hope it is not too much at once. Will be thankful for any response.
regards,
Einar

Apart from any language, think about a running program.
If it wants input, it has to see if any input is available, and then read it.
But looking for input is a very common operation. You could put all that functionality into a library and/or a runtime environment, and then let the rest of the program just get called when there's input available. You could set this up so that the programmer for this environment only writes the code that gets called, thus saving them from a lot of rote work.
