Syncing and doing other things?

I just wanted to know if with a multi core processor (i7 2600k) and 8gb of ram that I need to worry about slowing down things on my classic syncing if I play a game or something while it happens?

No. I have a 2010 MB with 4GB ram and a C2D processor. I bought my Classic last night and used my computer on the net while syncing. Loading 12,400 songs took about two hours.
The iPod Classic seems to load music a bit faster than my iPhone 4S.

When im listening to music and doing other things with iPad at the same time, the music stops and starts at random?

Can't understand why my music cuts in and out?

Have you tried restarting the iPad? (Not just sleep, but hold the power button down until you get the slide to power off.)

AIM/Yahoo, ect How to receive messages when doing other things....

I downloaded the AIM and Yahoo Apps and even tried the new Palringo App, but all of them seem to disconnect when I leave the program and go back to the home screen and reconnect when I go back.
People say It doesnt seem to log me out, however I dont receive any notification of messages when I am doing other things, not like I would if I receive a text message,
Any way to fix this and get messages without going back to check in the program?

Apps cannot run in the background. AIM keeps you logged in for ~5 minutes after you exit the app, but you'd need to go back to the AIM app to get any IMs.
In your AOL settings (accessed through your browser) you can set it to send you an SMS when you get an IM.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Mac Pro crashing on shutdown (and some other things)

The following behavior began about 4 or 5 days ago...
Mac Pro crashes/freezes every time I shutdown (or Restart). Some process seems to be not quitting on shutdown - the screen goes blue and I get the spinning beachball. It'll just hang like that indefinitely. To get it to shut down, I have to hold the power button for several seconds. After starting up again, the machine *mostly* runs fine, but there are some apps/services that either just don't do anything, or causes the Mac to hang, or get into a funk state. These other things that seem to destabilize it include:
Apple menu > About this Mac: nothing happens (no dialog)
iTunes: dock icon just bounces, iTunes never launches
System Prefs > Accounts > Login items: System Prefs hangs. Force quit allows Prefs to open again.
Some apps/services also cause things to hang:
Activity Monitor: quitting some processes causes Actvity Monitor to freeze
Clicking SOHO Notes (tab alonmg the edge of the monitor) results in spinning beachball
Rolling over Linotype FontExplorer in the Dock causes the Dock to freeze, FontExporer never opens
There are probably other things that would make it hang, I have not gone looking for them all
System details:
Mac Pro 4,1 .66 ghz, 8 GB RAM
Mac OSX 10.6.8
Dual monitors, two internal hard drives (internal; drive A, internal drive B), multiple external FW hard drives attached
I have already done the following:
Disk Utility: Verified and Repaired Disk Permissions
Disk Utility: Verified Disk, Repaired Disk - this found errors, and suggested reformat/reinstall
I have already booted off internal drive B and ran Disk Utility, then restarted and booted off internal drive A again. No difference.
I have Time Machine backups on an external 1 TB FW drive.
Late last night, I restarted, inserted my original Snow Leopard DVD, launched the MacOSX installer. Recovered a prior system by choosing Utilities > Restore System From Backup, selected a Time Machine backup a few days old (a day or two prior to the problem begining) on the external 1 TB FW drive, and initiated the restore. The estimated restore time was about 5 hours, so I went to bed and let it run. Got up early, and checked: it said the Restore operation was successful. I was relieved. But the same conditions continued - launching or rolling over the items listed above cause the same freeze/crash/hangs. Hangs on shutdown, only way to kill things is the power button. So now I'm disappointed.
I do have multiple backups of my data files across the external hard drives, but this is a large machine with a lot of stuff on it, and I'd really like to recover things wholesale, rather than having to reconstruct accounts and other things. Before I go to bed tonight, I'm going to take another shot at recovering the system from a Time Machine backup - this time, I'll pick a backup that's from a full week before the problems started (the idea being that maybe the backup I picked last time was not far enough back from whatever incident caused all this).
If the week-old Time Machine backup works, great. But if not...any suggestions?
Additional data points...
Nothing new was installed or updated (as far as I know, and I generally pay attention) in the days prior to the problem.
The last thing I recall doing on the computer before the problem began, was burning a DVD (using Toast) - something I do all the time. After that operation, I tried to shut down, and it froze.
The primary internal hard drive partition (internal drive A) seems to be the only one that's having trouble: if I reboot off of internal drive B, the problems do NOT occur - no hang on quit, etc.
That suggests it's not a hardware problem (logic board, etc.) but is something about the System on drive A.
It *could* be bad sectors on drive A - but I have some questions about that...
When I did the full system recovery via the MacOS installer (pulling the old system from Time machine), does the destination drive get reformatted? I don't recall being asked the usual partition/formatting questions.
When the installer does a system restore, does it do any integrity checking on the target drive, or does it just blindly lay down bits?
Does this "freeze on shutdown" (and related behaviors) sound familiar?
Any tips/suggestions to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

More info and a question...
Did another full restore (from a Time machine backup on an external drive) last night - picked a backup from from 10 days ago, long before things became problematic. Still having the same issues.
So, I'm thinking the next thing to try is a low-level reformat of the internal drive(s) and then restore again. I have a couple questions about the finer points of that...
I'm following the instructions in this KB document: Mac OS X 10.6: Recovering your entire system.
Inserting my original Snow Leopard DVD, launching the MacOS installer, restarting, in the installer choosing Restore System from Backup. It appears that there is no re-formatting of the target drive in this case - it just over-writes.
My questions...
The contents of the target drive are going to get wiped and overwritten anyway. Do I have anything to lose/to risk by reformatting FIRST (using Disk Utility), then booting off the install DVD and restoring then?
My 1 TB internal drive is partitioned into the primary 750 GB partition (which is the problematic one) and a secondary 250 GB partition (which boots and runs fine). The secondary partition has some data I would prefer not to lose. I assume that if want to do a full reformat of the internal drive, that means the whole drive - both partitions - will be wiped (that is, I cant reformat just one partition on a single physical drive without reformatting the second partition). Correct?
I suppose I can back up the data that resides on the second partition to an additional external drive (I have extras) if needed - not a huge deal.
Do my new partition sizes need to exactly match the sizes of the original partitions? Neither is completely full, but I want to make sure that I will be able to restore the system and contents of the primary partition even if the new partition size is not bit-by-bit the exact same size as the old partition (I assume the new partition size just needs to be large enough to hold the backup - correct?).
So....I'm looking at the following sequence:
Back up the data I want off the secondary partition to an external drive
Boot off the Snow Leopard install DVD
Run Disk Utility and reformat (fully erase) the internall 1 TB drive
Partition that 1 TB internal drive to (more or less) the two previous (about) 750 GB + 250 GB partitions
Restore a recent Time Machine backup (from an external FW drive) to partition #1
Reasonable plan? Anything I'm missing here? Any other steps I should take?
Thanks for any help.

Lightroom 1.2: XMP-bug still present and some other things

* I just upgraded to 1.2, but the XMP-bug is still present. When I turn on autowrite XMP LR starts using 50% (1 of 2 cores) of my CPU for quite a long time (15+ minutes) after startup. During that time the interface is somewhat sluggish (probably because of the lack of multi threading).
This behavior was also present in LR1.1. Turn off autoxmp and the cpu-usage will drop to 1-2% within a few moments of starting LR. Turn it on, and it will use your cpu for quite a long time (29.000 photos in my DB).
* One other thing I still notice: when using identity plates for printing, the identity plate doesn't rotate with the photo when switch from a landscape to a portrait photo (auto rotate is on to make things a lot easier). The print module is one of the greatest things in LR, but this still annoys me)
* Decent support for multi core CPU's is still lacking it seems. I have to run two export batches simultaneously to get my CPU to 100% cpu usage. Maybe it's an idea to split one export batch into several smaller ones so the can be processed at the same time using both cores.

1.2 fixes a bug in the auto-write mechanism that severely effected the performance of auto-write when files with changes were offline. Unfortunately, we didn't have time in the cycle to drastically enhance performance of the XMP auto-write mechanism for making large batches of changes or toggling the option on and off. The Lightroom team is aware of these issues and is working to resolve them for a later release.
The wording of the download page is pretty obscure. For a more accurate, detailed review of the changes in 1.2, please refer to the blog post at http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/ . For a better understanding of ways to use the auto-write mechanism in the interim, check out my post at

Doing Other Things While iDVD is Rending

Hi,
Is it true that "while iDVD is processing the munu, slideshow, and films, do not do other things on your iMac."
The reason is that if you do other things while iDVD is processing, the film will not be smooth.
Thanks.

Hi JhnD
Welcome to apple discussions. For the most part this is not true. I work daily on other apps while iDvd is burning to disc or encoding my dvd without ill affects. Nevertheless it is recommended not to run multiple apps with slower clock speeds /CPU while burning a dvd to avoid possible errors or even a crash due to CPU overload. Just use reasonable caution and monitor all activity on the activity monitor within your utilities folder. If you notice a spike in usage of the CPU above 90% then it may be time to start quitting other apps other than iDvd and allow it to finish encoding on its own without any interruptions.
Or a better suggestion .... allow iDvd to do it's thing overnight (if it happens to be a longer project).

Can your DAQ cards do TRUE async buffered daq while Labview does other things?

I need to perform analysis on and save aquired data while the DAQ card is simulataneously and independently performing another scan session, initiated by an external trigger. I've found what look to be virtual or pseudo asynchronous buffered daq functions, but is the 6034-E or any other DAQ card capable of true async buffered aquisition via DMA while Labview is executing other things separately?

testy,
Yes, you can acquire, analyze, and save data simultaneously. There are examples that illustrate this that ship with LabVIEW (Help > Find Examples). Any buffered data acquisition is capable of this. Once the buffered acquisition is setup it is going to continue to sample the channels specified and put the data into memory via DMA (if available). Inside the while loop of your program you will do a read which reads some data from memory and brings it into LabVIEW's memory. So if in this while loop you also do some analysis and stream to disk that isn't a problem as long as you call your read function fast enough that your buffer doesn't overflow (the buffer that your DAQ card is shoveling the DMA transferred data into). All of our DAQ boards use DMA (if a
vailable) by default for data transfer.

MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-816 DVD burn fails if computer is doing other things too

I can burn DVDs successfully if I leave the computer alone and don't try to do anything else with it while the burn is taking place. However, if I am printing or typing or even using the Finder at the same time, then the burned disk will not verify (errors in sector such and such). This is with Toast 7 and the Superdrive. It also happens with my external Pioneer 4x burner too.
Is this normal?

Just a note of interest. as a brody points out.
It is not a good practice to burn DVD's and use other applications at the same time.
Burning is not only very Ram Intensive, there are several other processes that are taking place as well.
It is a very good idea to burn by itself and not do any other process.
Many users that try to multi-task while burning report burner errors and overall poor preformance.
You are also using a burner that is a few years old as well and there have been updates to not only the burner, but firmware and software and media as well.
Cheers Don

Facebook doesn't load in ff or IE....sometimes I can get it by doing other things and then some of the games don't load completely ....have done all updates so what could be the issue

facebook is my homepage in ff.so I login and then my homepage doesn't load.. ...sometimes I can go to fb help and click on games or other pages and it comes on by way of games usually.....but after a while it goes back off....same way in IE ....have done all updates got all latest versions so what is wrong ....I have read everything on this computer ...it has been this way for nearly 2 weeks now....so please help....even if I get the home page to come up then some game issues face me....loading halfway ...no friends names are showing etc.Please help........

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

DW designed site, some browsers are dropping images and doing other wonky things, suggestions?

Hello, we have a small website and on the contact page there are hyperlinked images for facebook and linkedin. On some browsers or computers the images and links are being dropped entirely, including my own when I run Firefox but shows up fine in IE. On one computer instead of left aligning it was center aligned. Here is the page in question:
Vote Russ Tierney for State Representative
(Aside from the CSS doing away with tables which is a subject I still need to read up on) is there anything bad about that particular segment of html:

Suggestions?

Possibly.
Servers are case sensitive, so a link to images/LinkedIN.png will not be directed to a file called linkedin.png on the server. Your local OS won't have an issue with it, but the server generally will view that as a separate file from the mixed case version.
You may want to go through and normalize your file names from within DW's Files window and keep them all as lower case alpha-numeric names. Don't use special characters or spaces in the names either. Instead of spaces, use underscores or hyphens. When you change the names from within the Files window, DW will update all of your links for you.
Since you're seeing issues in some but not all browsers, I'm guessing the above probably isn't the problem (still worth mentioning though). It almost sounds to me like you are caching older versions in some of those browsers. Try clearing the browser cache to see if that clears up the issue.
Also, run your pages through the validator at http://validator.w3.org to get a list of html errors in your page. HTML errors can cause all kinds of funky behavior between browsers/versions. If it's still happening once you have your code cleaned up, post back and we can take a closer look.

And one other thing, does anyone if a newer macbook pro will soon come out?

I am willing to spend up to $4000 or so on a MacBook Pro, but I am wondering if anyone knows if there are going to be any major improvements coming along soon, like for example the graphics...
I love everything about the current macbooks pros, but I am hoping to see better graphics than 256MB sooner or later...
If someone knows for sure that there wont be any upgrades within the next two years, then I will be satisfied and will go off and buy one right away...
Thanks

No one here is going to be able to tell you when the next MacBook Pro refresh will take place. The graphics processor in the MacBook Pros was updated only about a month ago to one of the best notebook graphics processors available. The amount of memory alone is not an indicator of the graphics processor's performance. 256MB will be fine for most applications. Are you planning on running something that would require more memory?
Also... regarding your comment "If someone knows for sure that there wont be any upgrades within the next two years, then I will be satisfied and will go off and buy one right away..."... While none of us knows for sure when the next update will be... it's a safe bet that it will be before the next two years. No notebook manufacturer goes two years without upgrading their hardware. With the MacBook Pro being Apple's flagship notebook, it's safe to say that it will be updated before then. Apple tends to do major refreshes annually. But again... exactly when that will happen... and what the upgrade will be... only Apple will know.
