Substracting operation scanerio

Dear all
I have done below stem of subcontracting:
1. For a production material (1001), one raw material (2001) is assigned.
2. Production process of 1001 is having four operations 10, 20, 30 and 40.
3. In this 10, 30, and 40 are internal operations and 20 is external operation (sub-contracting).
4. To address this, we created a dummy material (non-valuated) and named as 1001-20 (Finished product number + Operation to be performed).
5. This 1001-20 should form part of the component in BOM of 1001. That is BOM of 1001 will have components as raw material 2001 and this dummy material 1001-20. In routing, assign this dummy material 1001-20 to operation 20.
6. During BOM creation, i have removed costing relevancy for the item 1001-20.
7. In routing, operation 20 is created with a work center (which is external operation work center) with exteranl operation control key.
8. In operation details, for external processing, assign the info record (substracting info record ) of external processing.
9. Info record of external processing has to be created for vendor with relevance to the operation to be performed externally with vendor. (We are using material group field in the external processing in routing operation).
8) i have given ind req. of (1001), header material. and then run mrp sys has been created req of haeder material (1001) and 2001 and also dummy material 1001-20.
Is it right?
10. When create production order with above set up, system will not create Purcha Req for external operation.
so kindly tell me where am i wrong ? or tell me detail substracting operation scanerio?

Hi,
Once u confirmed the operation 10 then only the pr will created.
Also check the customizing
in order type dependent parameter( opl8)
maintain a setting of PR --- Reservation / purchase requisition 3

Extract image form a buffer in a ring with labview

I use two buffers in a ring for an image acquisition in order to substract two images in real time.
After the buffer in the ring I didn't succeed to extract the image with the VI substract,in order to store the image in others buffers( error 14...)in order to realise the substract operation with the 1411 imaq acquisition grabber.
Could you help me to solve this problem.

I would use a buffer with more than two images. Ten to thirty images would work better. Keep the array of images that you generate when you are filling the ring buffer. During acquisition, you can use IMAQ status to find out what the last completed image buffer is. You can figure out the previous image easily by subtracting one and checking for wrap when it is -1. Index these images out of the image array and feed them into the IMAQ subtract vi along with an image allocated for the result. Display your results and continue to loop.

Check out the Calendar class.Hello Kayaman,
From a quick glance at its API, I haven't found it obvious that Calendar could fulfill such need under 10-lines algorithms. As per Joda-time's proponents, it's one of those computation that are unintuitively hard or convoluted using the stock JDK date&time classes.
If you're comfortable with Calendar, maybe you'd find it interesting to voice your opinion in this other topic: {thread:id=1982257}. Thanks in advance.
Hello OP,
apologies for plugging that discussion in your topic. But I do think it's closely related.
I noticed you marked both replies as helpful. I'd like to know your feedback on those replies: have you tried both approaches, and succeed with one, or both? Have you met difficulties with either?
Thanks, and good luck anyway.

Use boolean array to perform set operations

I am currently taking a computer science class that uses Java as the language of choice. I have no prior experience with Java. We have a homework assignment in which we are supposed to use a boolean array to implement set operations. We have to create a method that inserts an integer into the array, another that deletes an integer element, and several others. I am confused as how to do this with integers, as it is a boolean array. The datr for this class is:
private boolean base[];The constructor is:
public largeset(int size){ }We then have to create a method that inserts an integer into the array:
public void insert(int i){ }And one that deletes the element:
public void delete(int i) { }I am unsure how to do this using a boolean array. If it were an integer array I would not have any trouble, but I get an error when trying to insert/delete an integer from the boolean array. Can anyone help point me in the right direction? I would prefer advice only, not the actual code, as this is a homework assignment, and I would like to create the code myself so I actually know what I am doing. Thanks.

This is the assignment exactly as posted on the course website:
In this homework, we will use a boolean array to implement various set operations. Please create a class called largeset that supports set operations of any number of elements. The data of this class is
private boolean[] base;The constructor of the class is
public largeset(int size); // create a boolean array of size "size" and store it in "base"The methods of the class are:
public void insert(int i); // insert number i into the current set, where 0 <= i < base.length
public void delete(int i); // delete number i from the current set, where 0 <= i < base.length
public boolean member(int i); // test if i is in the set
public largeset union(largeset B); // return the union of two sets
public largeset interset(largeset B); // return the intersection of two sets
public largeset subtract(largeset B); // return the subtraction of two sets
public largeset complement(); // return the complement of the current set
public boolean subset(largeset B); // test if the current set is a subset of set B
public int cardinality(); // return the number of elements in the current set
public String toString(); // return a string which is a printing of the current setThen create another class called testset that uses the largeset class. At first, please create the following two sets:
X = { 1, 3, 5, 7, ..., 999 };
Y = { 9, 18, 27, 36, ..., 999 };
Please perform the following tests:
1. display the cardinalities of X and Y, respectively.
2. display the content of substraction of Y by X.
3. display the square root of the sum of all the elements of X (Math.sqrt(x) will return the square root of x in double type).
4. For every pair of distinct elements x and y in Y, compute the sum of (Math.max(x, y) - Math.min(x, y)) (or equivalently, Math.abs(x - y)), and report this sum.

What is the different DEALLOCATE UNUSED - datafile resize operation ?

hi everybody,
i have a question about DEALLOCATE UNUSED.
what is the different DEALLOCATE UNUSED command and datafile resize operation ?
Thanks.

Deallocate unused space clause is used to to explicitly deallocate unused space at "the end" of a segment and makes that space available for other segments within the tablespace. Internally, Oracle deallocates unused space beginning from the end of the objects (allocated space) and moving downwards toward the beginning of the object, continuing down until it reaches the high water mark (HWM).
Datafile resize add/substracts physical operating system bytes from the datafile .
Cheers :)

Could not complete operation - pathfinder in InDesign CS4

Trying to do a very basic shape substraction and I get the "could not complete operation. Pathfinder result describes empty region." I've been looking for a solution or patch but don't seem to find any and many of the posts seem old, don't work or don't offer any solutions.
Am I missing something or can't find it? Or is the pathfinder pallette in ID pretty much useless. Any input would be helpful. Thanks in advace.

This was a basic square atop a basic circle (subtracting to create basically a half circle) drawn with basic. Yesterday tried adding and other just to see and its the same message. Now I just did it again, in reviewing your responses and it worked in a fresh document. Crazy. Could it be a memory thing? I tried the clean document yesterday and it didn't work. The only thing different today was closing InDesign opening and starting with a new document and doing this action first thing.
Thanks guys. Though I prefere Illustrators pathfinders too I did find IDs to be useful in a pinch which I guess may be a feature lost.

Compare Operation

Hello,
i want to build a compare operation based on the DSP48 MACRO. The comparison is between two values one which is dynamic. At the end i want to feed a counter(which will be generated by a binary counter based on dsp slices) to the dsp macro and compare with a predefined value. In the IP Catalog selecting DSP48 Macro offers different instruction. Accoring to a xilinx user guide the comparator implementation is done by substraction and using Pattern Detector. But in the IP configuration GUI there is no Pattern Detector option.
Kintex7 - Vivado 2015.1
binary_counter_module_output ->| |
| DSP48 Macro |-> match
predefined_pattern -> | |
Thanks

Thanks.
Last time i implemented the comparison with the EQ_COMPARE_MACRO (in the template window of vivado). But the simulation result were quite strange. On its DATA_IN port i provided a constant value while on the DYNAMIC_PATTERN input i fed the output of a binary counter module. In the simulation the output Q asserted two times. The first when the match happens and the second one after two clcok cycles even when a match did not happen.
Do you have an idea what i have to consider when using the macro.

from tab;
select col1 ,order_by,case when col1 not in (10,11,12) then 0 else 1 end
from tab;As for testing for null, decode handles that by default anyway so you can have decode or case easily..

DVR Problem w/QIP7232P2 DVR Operation; HOW Long will I have to wait for 1.9.1?

THE SHORT PROBLEM:
1) DVR records only a few moments of pre-scheduled events then the recording stops with only 10 to 30 seconds stored content and this is reported in the on screen detail.
2) DVR records a full 1 hour show however, after 20 or so minuets of playback, use of the fast forward, skip (to get around a commercial) or pause DVR functions will cause the playback to jump to the end and you can't see the rest of the story. One must start the show over again, view stuff you have seen before to get to where the error happen. If you fast forward too close to the point of the error, you will get dumped out of the show all over again. Once you get close you just have to watch commercials and what you have seen before and then not use any DVR functions in order to watch the rest of the show.
3) DVR records a full 1 hour show, you fast forward to a time that is say 50% into the show, the progress bar will move forward like normal to show you get close to the point of you stopped watching the show before (to help solve problem #2 above) BUT, if you go too far, the progress bar will jump back to the start of the show and you may be dumped out of the program or it may continue to move forward. However the operation of the progress bar is not right.
This would render the DVR less then useful. Verizon has replaced my STB and talked me through the reset of AC power operation that is the normal fix for most STB issues. I'm told this will require a software upgrade from 1.9 to 1.9.1. OK, GET IT DONE and CREDIT USERS OF DVRs THE FEE PAID FOR SOMETHING THAT IS NOT WORKING.
THE LONG STORY WITH DETAILS:
All seemed to be well with the unit for a few months and the upgrade to the new 1.9 software looked like it went off without a hitch.
But.....Starting on around 12/17/11 I noticed that my DVR was recording only about 10 to 30 seconds of programming during scheduled events. Sometimes it would attempt to record the same event one or two times, each only lasting a few moments. I called Verizon customer service I think on 12/20/11 and they asked me to pull the 120 volt power and then re-apply power. This helped the problem but, remote testing seemed to show an issue and the customer rep decided a replacement unit was needed and Order No. MDDQ08V49U was created and another set-top box was shipped to me.
It is too bad that the technology has been developed to allow the external storage of digital content however, one can't back the 200 plus hours of video one may have stored on a set-top box and restore it on a new unit. It is also not possible to reproduce the vast extent of scheduling of events. No, it seems when you change out a set top box, all the programming is gone and you have to spend an afternoon coping down the schedule from the Series Manager and then re-enter all new events by making new recording events; a very time consuming operation.
So it is frustrating once after this afternoon is wasted reprogramming a new set-top is all done with the new set-top box installed, I find that on 1/5/12 when viewing recorded programming that should be one hour long, I only seem to get 22 minutes of playback. I try to look at this in detail and see that the first 22 minutes indeed play back in a normal manor. One is able to use the jump forward mode to skip over a commercial and all is good. If after 22 minutes you don't do anything, playback will continue to the end of the 1 hour. BUT, if after the first 22 minutes you try the skip or pause function, the program will jump to the end screen where you are given the option to: Program Options Page were you can select Play, Save until I delete, or Delete.
On 1/4/12 I called Tech Support and asked what to do about this 2nd box having yet another DVR problem. Once again I was asked to cycle the 120 volt AC power and disconnect and reconnect the coax "because electricity can build up in the set-top box". (I thought that was a cute reason). I asked the Customer Service rep if this was a Tier 2 or Tier 3 Troubleshooting method and she told me she was not authorized to tell me.
1/5/12 a Manager calls me back to follow up on a survey from the December service call and after seeing that I had a trouble ticket on 1/4 to see what is going on. He attempts to talk me into getting the on screen diagnostic screen to come up (press a mix of power and OK) but that just does not work like the old set-top box. We review the problem and he is not sure what else to do then send a Tech to the house to review the problems. He did tell me the STB I had in December WAS a known bad number; something about an issue with ribbon cable fault going to the hard drive. Well OK, but it seems ODD that the two like problems seem to happen to a known bad box and now to a new box that is not in the "bad" lot of numbers. This new STB also had been running 1.9 like the old STB for some number of weeks/months without issue then BANG, a problem pops up! It seems like this is a deeper problem but I trust with all the fact Verizon can find the right answer.
1/6/12 Aaron Phelps, Cable Splicing Technician comes to look at the problem. Nice guy! I show him the two recorded shows that have the problem. He can't get the on-screen diagnostic up but we use the test via the Main Menu and all readings seem OK. He also tests signals via an external meter with good results.
At last, he calls Tier 2 Tech support and I'm told by him that it seems some bug is in ver 1.9 and we will have to wait a month for a 1.9.1 to come out that should address a memory issue in the DVR. I don't know is this is the real story but Aaron tells me the ONLY fix they have is to swap out STB and he has no other 7232 units so... I'd have to go back to a smaller hard-drive or wait a month to see what happens.
To say again, it is a problem when the only answer in practice is to reboot the STB or replace it and this does not solve the problem. The field Techs don't know about a software bug less they call tier 2 support. Also, as it is so common to just replace the STB, the process may take only a moment in physical action to swap wires HOWEVER, it is an afternoon to get programming done so a new DVR is recording all the shows a Customer has established; on top of the time talking to phone Tech support and waiting for someone to show up to the home, that is a considerable investment in Consumer time. If you can't back up the content with the local drive due to copyright issues how about a cloud approach? I'd encourage a known bug to be resolved quickly and perhaps solve the manor that a STB is backed-up and replaced.
I learn on 1/6/12 my friend had like problems:
xxxxxx address blocked
Claire had the added problem that a pre set event she set to record change by an hour. I've not seen this but, I see in the Forum URL below, another person had the same problem as reported by "DC-Videophile" on 01-01-12 at 08:33 PM. On this same forum "rich3fan" reports problems that I have on 01-04-12 11:54 AM. The very bad news would seem from "markjrenna" 01-04-12 09:29 PM where it is suggested that 1.9.1 will not be out before 1Q12!!!! That is a long time to have this problem.

I notice with this event, when you hit fast forward, the progress bar moves forward with time then at a point it goes back to the start point, even when good video is playing in fast forward. This program worked beyond 22 min then failed at maybe 38 min. When I tried again, it failed at another point earlier (maybe 15 min) so it does not have a pattern.

I am having the same problems. My guess is that a lot of people are having the same problems and just living with it. Those of us who know where to go on the Internet come here to find a fix.
It seems Verizon has some explaining to do. Maybe they should try Beta testing new software a little better. I would rather have to wait longer for something that works. I am sure that some manager or director said this is close enough, deploy it and we will see what happens. Well, you are seeing the problems. Time to fix your mistake.
All of us are telling our friends about the problems. The longer this goes on, the more people we will tell about it.
Wouldn't you rather us be telling our friends that their is an error in the new interface and that you are working hard to fix it?
If you want to be up front about this, then just tell us. We are adults and can handle it. If you made a mistake, own up to it and give us some credit for doing your Beta testing in the field.
Customer Service is all about telling the truth and if you made a mistake, admit it and lets move on with a fix. I do not want to be told again that I should be able to unplug it, power cycle it, try the on-board diagnostics, etc., etc.......
I am going to be repsonding on a daily basis to keep this topic at the top of the list.
Time to come clean. You will feel better Verizon.
Let's talk tomorrow.

Since installing LTR 5.4, which I've now upgraded to 5.6, I've encountered repeated slowness and malfunctions in operations, especially when using the Compare View function and the Tab key to open and close the right and left side panels. Such problems n

Since installing LTR 5.4, which I've now upgraded to 5.6, I've encountered repeated slowness and malfunctions in operations, especially when using the Compare View function and the Tab key to open and close the right and left side panels. Such problems never arose during two years of using LTR-4 and nothing else has changed on my computer. I have a pretty simple system with only a few plug-ins, which are usually not in operation. I have 12GB of RAM in my Windows 7 PC. I could illustrate these problems with screen shots if you would tell me how to submit screen shots. Otherwise I will try to describe the problems in words.
The problem is clearly cumulative, growing worse as usage time passes. Compare View feature gradually slows down and eventually seems to choke as my work session proceeds. If I Exit LTR and re-enter and start all over, things will work normally for maybe 30 minutes, but then the Compare View feature begins to become very slow to respond. In a recent example with my screen full of thumbnails in Library mode I highlighted two images to compare. LTR started to open the Compare View screen by first having the top row of thumbnails disappear to be replaced by the "SELECT" and "CANDIDATE" words in their spaces (but no images), but Compare View never succeeded in gaining control of the screen. After some seconds the top row of thumbnails reasserted its position and the Compare View windows disappeared. But LTR kept trying to bring them back. Again the top row of thumbnails would go away, Select and candidate would reappear, try again, and give up. This went on for at least 2-3 minutes before I tried to choose File and Exit, but even that did not initially want to respond. It doesn't like to accept other commands when it's trying to open Compare View. Finally it allowed me to exit.
To experiment I created a new catalog of 1100 images. After 30-40 minutes, the Compare View function began to operate very slowly. With left and right side panels visible and two thumbnails highlighted, hitting Compare View can take half a minute before the two mid-size images open in their respective SELECT and CANDIDATE windows. When the side panels are open and two images are in the Select/Candidate spaces, hitting the Tab button to close the side panels produces a very delayed response--25-30 seconds to close them, a few more seconds to enlarge the two images to full size. To reverse the process (i.e., to recall the two side panels), hitting Tab would make the two sides of the screen go black for up to a minute, with no words visible. Eventually the info fields in the panels would open up.
I also created a new user account and imported a folder of 160 images. After half an hour Compare View began mis-placing data. (I have a screen shot to show this.) CANDIDATE appears on the left side of SELECT, whereas it should be on the right. The accompanying camera exposure data appears almost entirely to the left of the mid-screen dividing line. Although the Candidate and Select headings were transposed, the image exposure data was not, but the data for the image on the right was almost entirely to the left of the line dividing the screen in two.
Gurus in The Lightroom Forum have examined Task Manager data showing Processes running and Performance indicators and they see nothing wrong. I could also send screen shots of this data.
At this point, the only way I can process my images is to work 30-40 minutes and then shut down everything, exit, and re-start LTR. This is not normal. I hope you can find the cause, and then the solution. If you would like to see my screen shots, tell me how to submit them.

The problem is clearly cumulative, growing worse as usage time passes. Compare View feature gradually slows down and eventually seems to choke as my work session proceeds. If I Exit LTR and re-enter and start all over, things will work normally for maybe 30 minutes, but then the Compare View feature begins to become very slow to respond. In a recent example with my screen full of thumbnails in Library mode I highlighted two images to compare. LTR started to open the Compare View screen by first having the top row of thumbnails disappear to be replaced by the "SELECT" and "CANDIDATE" words in their spaces (but no images), but Compare View never succeeded in gaining control of the screen. After some seconds the top row of thumbnails reasserted its position and the Compare View windows disappeared. But LTR kept trying to bring them back. Again the top row of thumbnails would go away, Select and candidate would reappear, try again, and give up. This went on for at least 2-3 minutes before I tried to choose File and Exit, but even that did not initially want to respond. It doesn't like to accept other commands when it's trying to open Compare View. Finally it allowed me to exit.
To experiment I created a new catalog of 1100 images. After 30-40 minutes, the Compare View function began to operate very slowly. With left and right side panels visible and two thumbnails highlighted, hitting Compare View can take half a minute before the two mid-size images open in their respective SELECT and CANDIDATE windows. When the side panels are open and two images are in the Select/Candidate spaces, hitting the Tab button to close the side panels produces a very delayed response--25-30 seconds to close them, a few more seconds to enlarge the two images to full size. To reverse the process (i.e., to recall the two side panels), hitting Tab would make the two sides of the screen go black for up to a minute, with no words visible. Eventually the info fields in the panels would open up.
I also created a new user account and imported a folder of 160 images. After half an hour Compare View began mis-placing data. (I have a screen shot to show this.) CANDIDATE appears on the left side of SELECT, whereas it should be on the right. The accompanying camera exposure data appears almost entirely to the left of the mid-screen dividing line. Although the Candidate and Select headings were transposed, the image exposure data was not, but the data for the image on the right was almost entirely to the left of the line dividing the screen in two.
Gurus in The Lightroom Forum have examined Task Manager data showing Processes running and Performance indicators and they see nothing wrong. I could also send screen shots of this data.
At this point, the only way I can process my images is to work 30-40 minutes and then shut down everything, exit, and re-start LTR. This is not normal. I hope you can find the cause, and then the solution. If you would like to see my screen shots, tell me how to submit them.

7344 servo motion switching between open and closed loop operation

I have a custom end-of-line test system presently using a 4-axis 7344 servo controller to perform various functional tests on small, brushed DC motors. The system is programmed in C/C++ and uses flex motion functions to control the motor during testing. Motors are coupled to external encoder feedback and third party PWM drives running in closed-loop torque mode from an analog command signal. The system uses all four motion axis channels on the 7344 board to independently and asynchronously test up to four production motors at a time.
In closed-loop mode, the system runs without issue, satisfying the battery of testing protocols executed by this system. I now have a request to add additional test functionality to the system. This testing must be run in open loop mode. Specifically, I need to use my +/- 10v analog output command to my torque drive to send different DAC output levels to the connected motor.drive while monitoring response.
I do not believe the flex motion library or 7344 controller includes functions to easily switch between open and closed loop mode without sending a new drive configuration. I am also under the impression that I cannot reconfigure one (or more) servo controller axis channels without disabling the entire drive. As my system runs each axis channel in an asynchronous manner, any requirement to shutdown all drives each time I change modes is an unworkable solution.
I am open to all ideas that will allow asynchronous operation of my 4 motor testing stations. If the only solution is to add a second 7344 controller and mechanical relays to switch the drive and motor wiring between two separately configured servo channels, so be it. I just want to explore any available avenue before I place a price tag on this new system requirement.

Jochen,
Thank you for the quick response. The 7344 board does an excellent job running my manufacturing motor assemblies through a custom end-of-line tester in closed loop mode. A portion of the performance history and test result couples the motor through a mechanical load and external shaft. The shaft is in contact with a linear encoder that closes my servo loop.
My new manufacturing requirement is to also sample/document how the small DC motor behaves in open loop operation. Your solution is exactly what I need to perform the additional functional tests on the product I am manufacturing. I see no reason why this cannot work. I was originally concerned that I would need to reinitialize the 7344 board after changing axis configuration. Initialization is a global event and impacts all four channels on the 7344 board.
Using flex_config_axis() to change axis configuration on a single channel without disturbing other potentially running axis channels will solve my concern. It will be several weeks before I can return to the manufacturing facility where the 7344-based testing machine is located. I will update this thread once I verify a successful result.

On iOS 8 and "old" device for the operating system. О iOS 8 и "Старых" устройствах на этой операционной системе

USA.
Good day! I like you a fan of the forum users of APPLE. I live in the Russian Federation. Began his acquaintance with this company back in 2010 with the Ipad 2 device was still on ios 5. In January 2014 I made a gift and bought the iPhone 5s on OC IOS 7. I bought it at the official Russian official price that more accurately put Apple in 1100 $. In our country, it is a lot of money. With the money I could live for 3 months. In fact, I became the owner of a top (at the time) from a favorite device of Apple. My iPhone 5s worked perfectly on ios 7. sometimes met friezes light animation, and non-critical bugs, but who is without sin? Favorite company I was willing to forgive it because I see that she is trying to be better and not standing still. Looking WWDC presentation which provided us with iOS 8 you assured me that everything was better, faster, more functional. I was determined that update my iPhone 5s to iOS 8.0 ... APPLE releases new OC iOS 8 ... And I live! Behind the beautiful words that we said at the presentation of the great features of the new iOS hiding "something." And that "something" turned my phone in ... "pumpkin"! Yes! In that same stupid pumpkin! And now I will explain why I think it's pumpkin, not rose.
Sea bugs ... and they are awful and terrible as it does not give me the full extent of my work enjoy iPhone 5s!
Start from the beginning:
1 Streaming through technology "Air play".
"Air play" ceased to function properly! He was often disconnected from Apple tv and Apple airport express last generation. Apple tv 2g can not receive the signal from my iPhone 5s! And when it's all the same he gets a video playback does not last long, it just breaks and does not connect again! Helps to restart Apple TV and a hard reset by holding the button "HOME" button and "POWER". On the "Apple TV" is worth the latest firmware as these problems are manifested in the previous firmware of the device.
2 Built-in browser "Safari".
Tab in the "Safari" became constantly updated when I switch to another application or the other tabs! Apparent lack of memory (on iOS 7.1.2 with it all much better. At least when switching tabs does not re-update the previous tab).
Playing online video on non-optimized mobile site in the browser "Safari" really does not work! It is turned on and loaded almost to infinity! Sometimes just a black screen with an icon "Play" to be pressed at least 100 times, and the result is 0!
Scroll pages in the browser have become terribly sharp and smooth! on iOS 7.1.2 everything is fine, nice and smooth and no such bugs! Total confusion and thoughtfulness browser "Safari".
If the video still runs (for me equates to a miracle) then when rewinding the film is generally something strange ... Fast chooses how minutes and seconds I watch a movie (usually just starts playing from the beginning), or does not respond at all ... This is the same magic Apple? Unlikely.
3 multitasking menu (double-press "HOME").
Call multitasking (by double-clicking "HOME") began working with a delay, with a lag, c jerky animation, and sometimes even without it.
Control Center (which is called swipe upwards) was to slow down! Yes! That retard! Animation jumping shutter control center began play with tangible frame loss! If iPhone 5s under the control of OS iOS 7.1.2 everything happened smoothly, beautifully and dynamically in the iOS 8.0 it looks like on the iPhone 5 running iOS 7.C than strongly connected is not clear! Graphic differences from iOS iOS 7 8 almost equal to 0, and the speed of decline in almost 50%! How ?! Why ?! Why does my iPhone 5s become the iPhone 5 ?! This is an artificial slowing my device to increase the demand on the iPhone 6 or still glitch iOS 8.0 for iPhone 5s? Honey the company Apple, I really hope for the 2nd. Especially this shortfall fps animation curtain markedly if you open multitasking (acquired by double button "HOME") and call the control center and you'll see that the animation is playing choppy and not smooth! On IOS 7.1.2 this is not! Control center jumps smoothly and beautifully! On iOS 8.0 it happens all the time! Even if you turn off your favorite contacts and recent calls (I'm ashamed to say they thought) that appeared in iOS 8 (they are above programs on the multi-tasking) not solve the problem. As well, if you call the control center on the lock screen, then drop FPS will be very noticeable even to the untrained viewer (especially if you take two iPhone 5s one running iOS 7 and 8, the second on iOS and compare them on the forehead). If the Control Center click airdrop (air play) the animation of its appearance again played in spurts and not terribly nice and smoothly (especially noticeable on the lock screen and comparison of the forehead)! In a telephone call has been going absolutely shameless FPS drop a call center management and other activities!
And yes, for me it is a critical issue! I do not want the transition to iOS 9 my iPhone 5s turned to the iPhone 4 on iOS 7 (vid you all remember this terrible story?)! I want my iPhone 5s worked as smoothly as on iOS 7.1.2! Nor any justification for this inhibition iskuvsstvennoy I can not see! 8 beautiful iOS did not! graphic elements do not appear! So goes the Apple is doing this on purpose ?! We go down the list!
4 minor bugs that just break my brain and kill all the beauty of the use of "the best mobile operating system in the world"!
4.1. When a call comes in when you clicked the icon making a call the phone for about 2-3 seconds, vibrates and plays a melody. On iOS 7.1.2 ringtone and vibration stops as soon as you have accepted the challenge and in your ear does not play your ringtone by "imagine Dragons", cheeks beats you invented vibration in the style of "Tick-tonic."
4.2. When you look at the page on the Internet-phone terribly terribly strongly heated! A pair of piping hot! On iOS 7.1.2 is no such problem! Telephone hot, but not as much as on iOS 8.0!
4.3. Folder on the home screen opens with a delay of 0.5-1 second is the impact on the overall impression of iOS 8.0.
4.4. When you create a set (12 pieces) icons in one folder if dramatically open the folder and make swipe to the left then the following icons in this folder does not have time to boot up and are delayed by 1 second.
4.5. When you create a folder with 1-9 icons do if the above action fails then the animation (the same bug exists in iOS 7.1.2). It is very not nice aesthetically.
4.6. Scroll to your "Settings" felt terribly antsy. Although it is not only in the application "Settings" but also to the entire system and applications in general ...
4.7. Scroll to the Home screen has become less responsive to user actions all movements inogoda occur with jerky animation and some delay to the user.
4.8. Quite often, and without rational reason for going off the sensor device. That is, the screen does not respond to any user action! Helps pressing "HOME" or hard reset by holding the button "HOME" and "POWER".
4.9. Most people on the iPhone 5s lost communication with a mobile operator. Just go on and lost and because of this I have missed calls from their loved ones and friends (would cost you to be glad that I have not missed calls on business issues).
5.0. Many owners of iPhone 5s and iPhone 5 uhudzhenie complain about battery life. I honestly did not notice it, but we will not drop this off.
Outcome.
And now gets quite an interesting question, why? Why does my iPhone 5s began to slow? Why in the absence of graphical improvements are absolutely the same actions were reproduced with the loss of fps, slow down, lag, hover, fly? Why, if put next iPhone 5s on iOS 7.1.2 and exactly the same iPhone 5s on iOS 8.0 and pull the control panel to call multitasking bar, carry out all other actions I have described it on your device running iOS 7.1.2 it will work without any delays, lags, the deterioration in the responsiveness of the interface, reducing fps, and no departures from simple applications written directly by Apple? I see absolutely no any obstacles in the way to make the iPhone 5s to the operating system iOS 8.0 worked with the same smoothness, with the same responsiveness and speed as the iPhone 5s running iOS 7.1.2! I do not see what these restrictions are not!
There are many different bugs that I do not even remember now (as I write this text on emotions (positive) as able to roll back your iPhone 5s back to iOS 7.1.2, and he seemed to come alive with new life) and so far I have esteemed company APPLE does not eliminate these improvements do not, I will not go back to iOS 8.0! if the dispensation of these bugs, flaws, intentional degradation of the (almost identical in performance in comparison with the iPhone 6) IPhone 5s will not happen and the company APPLE will continue to apply to consumers of their products as a beta tester I will be forced to organize a petition and file a class action lawsuit in court not only in their own country (which is for the Russian Federation) but also in the United States and in other countries where people are just like me trying to deceive, mislead and force companies to buy new devices APPLE without having expressed any any more substantial explanation except as <iPhone 6 was 25% more powerful on with alignment with the iPhone 5s>!
P.s.
I hope Apple will still listen to their users and I also hope that it (Apple) still change his mind and will try in the near future to give users not-so-old devices (iPhone 5s, iPad Air, iPad mini Retina) and enjoy on all the new features of iOS 8 no lag, locked up, overheating, inhibited animation. Thank you for being there!
Ru.
Всем доброго времени суток! Я как и вы форумчане являюсь фанатом компании APPLE. Проживаю я в Российской Федерации. Начал свое знакомство с этой компанией в далеком 2010 году с устройства Ipad 2 тогда еще на ios 5. В январе 2014 я сделал себе подарок и купил iPhone 5s на OC IOS 7. Купил я его официально по официальной Российской цене которую выставила Apple точнее за 1100$. В нашей стране это очень большие деньги. На эти деньги я бы мог жить 3 месяца. По сути я стал обладателем топового (на тот момент) устройства от любимой компании Apple. Мой iPhone 5s прекрасно работал на ios 7. Иногда встречались легкие фризы анимации, и не критичные баги, но кто без греха? Любимой компании я был готов это простить так как вижу, что она старается быть лучше и не стоит на месте. Посмотрев презентацию WWDC на которой представили iOS 8 нас с вами уверяли, что все стало лучше, быстрее, функциональнее. Я твердо решил, что обновлю свой iPhone 5s до iOS 8.0... APPLE выпускает новую OC iOS 8... И я обновился! За красивыми словами, что нам говорили на презентации, за великолепными функциональными возможностями новой iOS скрывалось "нечто". И это "нечто" превратило мой телефон в... "тыкву"! Да! В ту самую тупую тыкву! И сейчас я объясню почему я думаю, что это тыква, а не роза.
Море багов... причем они ужасны и страшны так как не дают мне в полноценной мере насладится работой моего iPhone 5s!
Начнем по порядку:
1. Потоковая передача данных посредством технологии "Air play".
"Air play" перестал нормально работать! Он стал часто отсоединяться от Apple tv и Apple airport express последнего поколения. Apple tv 2g не может принять сигнал от моего iPhone 5s! А когда все же это у него получается то воспроизведение видео длится не долго оно просто обрывается и не дает подключиться повторно! Помогает перезагрузка Apple TV и жесткий сброс посредством удержания кнопки "HOME" и кнопки "POWER". На "Apple TV" стоит последняя прошивка так же эти проблемы проявлялись и на предыдущей прошивке устройства.
2. Встроенный в систему Браузер "Safari".
Вкладки в "Safari" стали постоянно обновляться когда я переключаюсь на другое приложение или на другие вкладки! Явная нехватка оперативной памяти (на iOS 7.1.2 с этим все гораздо лучше. по крайней мере при переключение вкладок не происходило повторное обновление предыдущей вкладки).
Воспроизведение онлайн видео на не оптимизированном для мобильных устройств сайте в браузере "Safari" толком не работает! Оно включается и загружается чуть ли не до бесконечности! Порой просто черный экран с иконкой "Play" на которою нажимай хоть 100 раз, а результата 0!
Пролистывание страниц в браузере стали до ужаса резкими и не плавными! на iOS 7.1.2 все прекрасно, плавно и красиво и таких багов нет! Общая заторможенность и задумчивость браузера "Safari".
Если видео все же запускается (что для меня приравнивается к чуду) то при перемотке фильма происходит вообще что-то непонятное... Перемотка сама выбирает с какой минуты и секунды мне смотреть фильм (чаще просто начинает воспроизводить все с самого начала) либо не реагирует вовсе... Эта та самая магия Apple? Непохоже.
3. Меню многозадачности (двойное нажатие кнопки "HOME").
Вызов многозадачности (посредством двойного нажатия кнопки "HOME") стал работать с задержкой, с лагом, c дерганой анимацией, а порой и вовсе без нее.
Центр управления (который вызывается свайпом снизу вверх) стал тормозить! Да! Именно тормозить! Анимация выпрыгивания шторки центра управления стала воспроизводиться с ощутимой потерей кадров! Если на iPhone 5s под управление OS iOS 7.1.2 все происходило плавно, красиво и динамично то в iOS 8.0 все выглядит как на iPhone 5 под управлением iOS 7.с чем это связанно решительно не понятно! Графические отличия iOS 7 от iOS 8 практически равны 0, а скорость работы сниженна практически на 50%! Как?! Почему?! Почему мой iPhone 5s стал iPhone 5?! Это искусственное замедление моего устройства для повышения спроса на iPhone 6 или все же недоработка iOS 8.0 для iPhone 5s? Дорогая компания Apple, я очень надеюсь на 2-е. Особенно эту нехватку fps в анимации шторки заметно если открыть многозадачность (посредством двойного нажития кнопки "HOME") и вызвать центр управления и вы увидите что анимация проигрывается рывками и не плавно! На IOS 7.1.2 такого нет! Центр управления выпрыгивает плавно и красиво! На iOS 8.0 это происходит постоянно! Даже если отключить избранные контакты и недавние вызовы (я грешным делом подумал на них) которые появились в iOS 8 (они находятся выше программ на панели многозадачности) проблему не решить. Так же, если вызвать центр управления на экране блокировки то падение FPS будет очень заметно даже для неподготовленного зрителя (особенно если взять два iPhone 5s один под управление iOS 7 и второй на iOS 8 и сравнить их в лоб). Если в центре управления нажать кнопку airdrop (air play) то анимация ее появления опять таки проиграется рывками и ужасно не красиво и не плавно (особенно заметно на экране блокировки и при сравнение в лоб)! При телефонном вызове происходит уже совсем уж бессовестное падение FPS при вызове центра управления и при других действиях!
И да, для меня это критичная проблема! Я не хочу чтобы при переходе на iOS 9 мой iPhone 5s превратился в iPhone 4 на iOS 7 (Вы видь все помните эту страшную историю?)! Я хочу чтобы мой iPhone 5s работал так же плавно как и на iOS 7.1.2! Ни каких оправданий для этой искувсственной заторможенности я не вижу! iOS 8 красивей не стала! графических элементов больше не появилось! Так выходит компания Apple делает это специально?! Идем дальше по списку!
4. мелкие баги которые просто разрывают мой мозг и убивают всю красоту использования "Самой лучшей мобильной операционной системы в мире"!
4.1. При входящем вызове когда вы нажали иконку принятия вызова телефон еще около 2-3 секунд вибрирует и проигрывает мелодию. На iOS 7.1.2 мелодия и вибрация останавливается как только вы приняли вызов и вам в ухо не играет ваш рингтон в исполнении "imagine Dragons", по щекам не бьет придуманная вами вибрации в стиле "Тик-тоник".
4.2. Когда смотришь страницы в интернете телефон ужасно-ужасно сильно греется! Парой обжигающе сильно! На iOS 7.1.2 такой проблемы нет! Телефон горячий, но не так сильно как на iOS 8.0!
4.3. Папки на домашнем экране открываются с задержкой в 0.5-1 секунду это сказывается на общем впечатлении от iOS 8.0.
4.4. При создании множества (12 штук) иконок в одной папке если резко открыть папку и сделать свайп влево то следующие иконки в этой папке не успевают загрузиться и отображаются с задержкой в 1 секунду.
4.5. При создании папки с 1-9 иконками если проделать описанное выше действие то произойдет сбой анимации (этот же баг есть и в iOS 7.1.2). Это крайне не приятно эстетически.
4.6. Пролистывание в приложении "Настройки" стало ужасно дерганым. Хотя не только в приложении "Настройки" но и по всей системе и в приложениях в целом...
4.7. Пролистывание на Домашнем экране стало менее отзывчивое на действия пользователя все движения иногода происходят с дерганой анимацией и какой-то задержкой на действия пользователя.
4.8. Довольно часто и без объяснимой причины происходит отключения сенсора устройства. То есть экран не реагирует ни на какие действия пользователя! Помогает нажатие кнопки "HOME" либо жесткий сброс посредством удержания кнопки "HOME" и "POWER".
4.9. Большинства людей на iPhone 5s пропадает связь с сотовым оператором. Просто берет и теряется и из за этого я уже пропускал звонки от своих близких и друзей (стоило бы вам порадоваться, что я не пропустил звонки по рабочим вопросам).
5.0. Многие обладатели iPhone 5s и iPhone 5 жалуются на ухуджение работы аккумулятора. Я честно говоря этого не заметил, но не будем сбрасывать этого со счетов.
Итог.
А теперь встает довольно интересный вопрос, почему? Почему мой iPhone 5s стал тормозить? Почему при отсутствии графических улучшений абсолютно одни и те же действия стали воспроизводится с потерей fps, тормозить, лагать, зависать, вылетать? Почему если положить рядом iPhone 5s на iOS 7.1.2 и точно такой же iPhone 5s на iOS 8.0 и вытянуть панель управление, вызвать панель многозадачности, провести все остальные действия описанные мною то на устройстве под управлением iOS 7.1.2 все будет работать без каких либо задержек, лагов, ухудшение в отзывчивости интерфейса, уменьшении fps и просто без вылетов из приложений написанных непосредственно компанией Apple? Я не вижу абсолютно ни каких преград в том чтобы сделать так чтобы iPhone 5s под управлением операционной системой iOS 8.0 работал с той же плавностью, с той же отзывчивостью и скоростью, что и iPhone 5s под управлением iOS 7.1.2! Не вижу от того, что этих ограничений нет!
Есть еще множество различных багов о которых я сейчас даже не вспомню (так как этот текст я пишу на эмоциях (положительных) так как смог откатить свой iPhone 5s обратно на iOS 7.1.2 и он как будто ожил новой жизнью) и пока глубокоуважаемая мною компания APPLE не устранит эти не доработки я не буду возвращаться обратно на iOS 8.0! если устроения этих багов, недоработок, умышленного ухудшения работы (практически одинакового по производительности в сравнении с iPhone 6) IPhone 5s не произойдет и компания APPLE будет и дальше относиться к потребителям своей продукции как к бета тестерам я буду вынужден организовать петицию и подать коллективный иск в суд не только в своей стране (коей является Российская Федерация) но и в США и в других странах где людей так же как и меня пытаются обмануть, ввести в заблуждение и заставить покупать новые устройства компании APPLE не дав на то ни каких более существенных объяснений кроме как < iPhone 6 стал на 25% мощнее по с равнению с iPhone 5s>!
P.s.
Я надеюсь компания Apple все еще прислушивается к своим пользователям и я так же надеюсь, что она (Apple) все же одумается и постарается в ближайшее время дать пользователям не таких уж и старых устройств (iPhone 5s, iPad Air, iPad mini Retina) наслаждаться и дальше всеми новыми возможностями операционной системы iOS 8 без лагов, подвисаний, перегревов, заторможенной анимации. Спасибо, что вы есть!

Agreed! This bug with the ringtone delay (№4.1) is really annoying

How do I clone a fully operational system that relies on Windows 7 for the underlying operating system?

I'm a retired IT professional desiring to assist a friend who owns a small business who recently experienced very malicious attacks on her computers from unknown parties operating anonymously on the Internet. Because
of her lack of preparation for such events, her future ability to continue to conduct her business was seriously threatened. The incident revealed, to my friend, the need to be prepared to deal with spontaneously occurring problems that create suspicious conditions
that arise with modern computer software before they can be analyzed in a sufficiently comprehensive manner to have an opinion regarding the appropriate course of action for obtaining a permanent remedy. In that, the ability to quickly react on the basis of
only suspicion is the goal.
I want to recommend an approach that involves maintaining an offline image of an operational system that is capable of running any of her computers. This image needs to include all of the software required to run
her business. In that, it is not limited to the operating system. This single image could then be used to restore any computer to a known reliable state should the need arise. This technique will also insure that each computer has sufficiently similar capability
to allow them to substitute for each other. Insofar as image restoration is itself an operation susceptible to causing unacceptable business delay I'm also recommending that each of the identical computers (i.e., from a hardware perspective) operate in a multi-boot
environment where a virtually offline backup can be instantiated via a simple reboot (i.e., an operation that all users of the Windows operating systems turn to when strange behavior is first observed). My intention is to limit the cloned system (i.e., partition
or C: drive) to the operational software. The business data along with storage for temporary data will be isolated on other partitions (i.e, mounted with other drive letters) accessible by each instance of the software eligible for multi-boot operation.
This kind of operation is something that I know how to setup on older versions of the Windows operating system. However, Microsoft has now dropped support for all of those operating systems and my much more limited
experience with the currently supported operating systems reveals that changes to the boot process will necessitate making changes to the specific preparations needed to build such an environment.
Before recommending that my friend replace all of her computers with new ones, that includes paying for new operating system (i.e., Windows) licenses, I need some assurance that the new operating systems are as
good as the old ones in this respect. These need to be relatively inexpensive desktop computers and we're only talking about a few of them. Let's say fewer than half a dozen. My friend is a sole proprietor and even though her business has become completely
dependent on what was once called personal computers she must operate on a fairly tight budget. This especially includes the budget for technology.
The articles I've been able to find on the Microsoft support websites seem to treat multi-boot as a situation where someone is running different versions of possibly difference operating systems whereas my need
to produce a single image that will both run on multiple computers as well as multiple partitions on the same computer. I'd appreciate finding some technical advice that applies to building such a system using a supported version of Windows.

I tried the image creation/restoration described by Jared. I don't think it makes much sense to rely on an operational system to do such a restoration therefore I opted for method 3 which involves using a "System Repair Disk". My first
reaction is what a crude tool. The image creation process had no trouble putting the image on a simple network share. However, it appeared as though the restoration couldn't even connect with the device. I then copied the files to a USB drive.
In this case the repair disk said it couldn't find the files even though they were there. It offered no mechanism to even look and see what was there. It appears as though it will only find the image if it is located in a folder by the certain
name used on creation and it is in root directory. Not very handy.
As ugly as all that was when we finally come to the point of making the restore it looks like the only option is to restore the entire disk, which in my case would mean also restoring both the windows partition and the recovery partition. This just
isn't what I want to do. It is also something I wouldn't even consider doing unless it was the only possible way to recover from a failed hard drive.
In summary, unless I've completely failed to notice how it works that just isn't going to work.
I hope there is something better than this. What about WinPE and ImageX?
Absent anything useful from Microsoft it will be necessary to try using other software. Time to try Acronis! I guess.
