Terminal display doesn't update

I upgraded from 10.6.6 to 10.6.7 last weekend. Since then, Terminal.app doesn't work correctly: I can enter commands, but the window display doesn't update until I click it, so I can't see what I'm typing.
For example, I launch Terminal and a window opens. It is blank. I click it, and my command prompt appears. I enter ls -l, but I don't see what I've typed until I click the window again. I press Enter, but nothing happens until I click the window again ... then the directory list appears.
While writing this note, I also noticed that if I move to another application, the Terminal window also updates at that point. It just doesn't update in real time as I'm running commands.
Has anyone else seen this? And more importantly can anyone suggest a solution?
UPDATE: I just moved my com.apple.Terminal.plist preferences file to the desktop and launched Terminal again ... no problems. Then I replaced the preferences file and launched again ... still no problems. ??? Anyway, it's working for me now, but I'll go ahead and leave this note in case it helps someone else.

Zen V Plus Display Doesn't Update Total Number of Fi

Hi everyone.
I have the Zen V Plus 4 GB unit, and I'm using Vista Home Premium.
I've encountered a problem I haven't been able to solve.
I loaded ,036 audio files onto the unit, using the Media Explorer.
That worked fine.
I then disconnected the Zen V Plus from my computer, and listened to it for a few minutes.
Then, I hooked it back up and added 55 more tracks to it.
Here's the problem: The display should say of ,09 but it still says of ,036.
The 55 new tracks are definitely loaded on the unit.
Shouldn't the number on the display have increased when I added more files?
Here's what I did after noticing the display didn't change:
I went to the Creative web site and downloaded the MP3 Player Recovery Tool, which basically just updates the firmware.
The firmware on the unit is now .5.03_0.05.09.
Next, I formatted the Zen, hoping the firmware would resolve the issue.
This time, I added only 00 tracks, then tried adding another 00.
Media Explorer said there were 200 tracks on the unit, but the display showed only 00.
So, my next step was to format and start all over again, using the Sync Manager.
The same problem, again.
Bottom line: Although I can incrementally add music files to the Zen, the display doesn't update.
Is this a known problem? Does anyone have any suggestions on how to overcome it's
(I mean, excluding formatting my computer and reinstalling Vista and the Creative software, which might be my next step.)
Thank you! J. Danniel

Thanks for the reply.
I have a tagging program, but I neglected to mention is exclusi'vely use WMA format. That doesn't matter.
There are no duplicate files, because I check that before uploading to the unit.
I've figured out a few ways to solve this problem, though. One way is to create a playlist. The Zen displays the correct file count this way.
Another way is to select files via album, artist, or genre, and THEN go back to All Tracks.

Subvi display doesn't update while it's open

I have a USB data acquisition application, I would like to put all the graphs on a subvi front panel. When a user clicks on "Graph" button on Main Vi, the subvi should open and keep updating while it's open. But I cannot get the subvi to update when it's open. Attached is a program I wrote to simulate the problem I have. The second loop in the main VI won't execute as along as the subVi is open, therefore the new data is not dequeued. Can someone please take a look at my code and see how I can fix this problem? Thanks.
Solved!

Here's a very primitive example that shows the main idea. Remember, you don't need to poll the queue. Just wait for the next element (forever!). The loop will stop once the queue is destroyed.

Icon info doesn't update, and display issues

On my desktop I have my icons set to show information such as drivespace under them. When I empty the trashcan the information doesn't update on the icon, but it does in the finder (finder shows 12gigs, but icon still says 3.4gigs). Is this a common bug or is does it not do this on anyone elses computer?
Also I'm running an external display and sometimes I notice that my primary display looks really bright, when I try to change the color profile it says something about not being able to find the primary display or something like that. This only happens once in a while when I have my external display plugged in. I was running the ATI drivers, but I think the last apple update replaced them with the Apple drivers.
Any help or comments are appreciated

you specified the delay for timer"1000" but not the repeat amount.
your if statement will only run once unless you put it inside the onTimer function.
the new Date() statement sould be outside the onTimer function

AS3 swf doesn't update variables set via javascript

Can't figure this one out: I've got a C4 project with 2 slides. First slide has a button that executes a Javascript call:
SetStringVariable("myVar");
Where myVar is an internal C4 user variable with a default value of "Hello World".
The second slide has myVar being displayed in a text caption.
I publish the swf (AS3) and add this javascript function to the .htm file:
function SetStringVariable(n)
     document.getElementById('Captivate').SetVariable(n, "I set my variable!");
     alert("my var: " + document.getElementById('Captivate').GetVariable(n));
When you run the project on the web, the alert comes up with "I set my variable!" but the caption on slide 2 still says "Hello World". Not sure why this occurs since I've just done a round trip with the variable. It's as if C4 assigns the variable behind the scenes, but the UI doesn't update. This does not occur if the C4 project is published in AS2.
Anyone experience this? Any workarounds? I'd like to be able to use the SetVariable function in AS3 projects.
TIA,
Jim Leichliter

Steve Howard noted that you can edit the CaptivateMainTimeline.as file typically located C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 4\ActionScript 3.0\.
First, I added an external callback:
try{
               if((ExternalInterface.available == true) && (parent==stage))
                    myTrace("ExternalInterface is available");
                    ExternalInterface.addCallback("cpSetValue", cpSetValue);
                    ExternalInterface.addCallback("cpGetValue", cpGetValue);
                    ExternalInterface.addCallback("mycpSetValue", mycpSetValue);
                    ExternalInterface.addCallback("mycpSetValue2", mycpSetValue2);
                    ExternalInterface.addCallback("cpSetValueJim", cpSetValueJim);
Then I wrote my handler for the callback function which was a slight modification to the cpSetValue function that was already there:
     //JBL: For External Interface setting any type of value
          public function cpSetValueJim(variable:String, val):void
          //myTrace("cpSetValue variable1 " + variable + " ; val " + val);
          var arr:Array = variable.split(".");
          var ref = this;
          for(var i=0; i < arr.length -1; i++)
               ref = ref[arr[i]];
          ref[ arr[arr.length -1] ] = val; // This works fine for numbers, booleans and strings
Just make sure you publish your project in AS3.
You can place some js in a captivate button:
SetStringVariable("NameOfYourUserVariable");
Modify the published .htm file by placing in this js function.
function SetStringVariable(n)
     document.getElementById('Captivate').cpSetValueJim(n, "I set my variable!");
     alert("my var: " + document.getElementById('Captivate').GetVariable(n));
That's powerful stuff. Thanks Steve (ACE) for pointing this out! This opens up a whole new world of possibilities.

ISR ADOBE Workflow Scenario - Data doesn't update the Backend

Hi,
I am currently working on ISR-LOA Scenario. I have made all the ISR-Form-Process configurations and linked with my workflow. I event tested my process in the backend and portal. The process goes end to end. But does not update the infotyptes. No error was reported either in Portal or Backend. I was able to complete the termination process by copying the SAP standard scenario (STN1) and the workflow task WS17900391. But this LOA is a custom scenario. I dont see any difference? But i am really puzzled about this.
As a simple process My workflow contains Task TS17900101 - Approve Form task and a mail step. According to, http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/42/f280b91e5132c3e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm
the approve form step doesn't update the backend directly. I also tried task TS17900102 and TS17900108 (Save Data - Background Processing). I also applied authorizations P_ASRCONT and P_ORGIN to WF-Batch user. Please give me your suggestions.
I was continuing the completed thread Re: Events Definition in Adobe Interactive Form - Help required, but i am opening this new thread.
Thanks,

My Microsoft Account still signs into this site, my regular Xbox, iPad Xbox App, and Windows Phone just fine. What is up with Windows 8? Thanks in advance.

It appears to end up having been a time sync issue. I must have only been off a couple of seconds?!? I decided to try Armed! and it reported a difference in Time when creating my profile for the game and I was like.. hmmm. So I went ahead and hit Internet
Time settings (under Date and Time in Control Panel) and did a Update Now with time.windows.com. I am now able to login on all the apps I was having issues with before where it was stuck at "Signing In".

After upgrade to Win 10 ENVY TouchSmart 15-j001tx Notebook PC display doesn't respond to touch

I just upgraded to Windows 10 from 8.1 and after I did, my touch screen doesn't respond or work. I basically have a non-touch display... ugh I've searched this forum and the hp support for possible drivers but don't see anything. I've even tried the Win 10 Drivers Update process with no success. Any suggestions?

Hi ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues with help from the community!
I came across your post about the Notebook, and wanted to assist you! I have looked into your issue about your HP ENVY TouchSmart 15-j001tx Notebook and the Touch display doesn't respond to touch after a Windows 10 update. If your computer is having problems finding and installing operating system updates, try using the Windows Update Troubleshooting tool to fix the problem. Here is a document that shows how to update drivers that are not working correctly with Windows 10. Here is a link to your driver page. I would try the section on Driver -Chipsets. Intel Management Engine Interface Driver should help. Restart the Notebook after the install. I hope something here helps you. Thanks.

Doesn't update iCloud ID

Code doesn't update when uploading new files to website.

code doesn't update when uploading new files to website. I was using an old DW version for a long time then forced to upgrade when I bought my MacBook Pro. Now when I make changes to my pages and link to new files etc on my harddrive, when i upload the pages it won't image because the code still points to harddrive (this did not used to be a problem)... I manually changed the code on the web host site to point to the site and it loaded fine. But now my files on my harddrive also point to the web host files and now don't image on my computer. I never had to worry about this so far and wonder if the new version has a setting I'm supposed to be aware of so that I can design on my hardrive and upload and it knows that the files are being uploaded with it? Ugh hpe this makes sense - I'm NOT a webs designer and the new DW is way more than I use in it's technology.

TS4083 Is there a way or a setting my folders in Mail to automatically update across all devices? if I transfer an email to a folder for follow-up on my PC, my folder in Mail on my iPhone doesn't update until I actually go into the folder and update manua

Is there a way (or a setting) for my individual folders in Mail to automatically update across all devices? For example, if I transfer an email to a folder for follow-up on my PC - say 10th of the following month - the same folder in Mail on my iPhone doesn't update until I actually go into the folder and update manually. Interestingly though, if I create a new folder on any of my devices they automatically appear on the other devices so it is just the actual contents that I am referring to here. Appreciate any help or guidance.
Regards
Justin

You can turn mail off in the settings but then you can't use it for anything, including the "test" that you want to perform.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Account Name>Mail>Off. That totally turns off the mail account.
As long as mail is turned on and you launch the app, it will look for an download new mail.

HT1338 my MAc Book PRO 13" Retina display will not update. It crashes every time I try to do an update. I have sent in the information on each update but so far nothing back from Apple.

my MAc Book PRO 13" Retina display will not update. It crashes every time I try to do an update. I have sent in the information on each update but so far nothing back from Apple. Also it does not matter what I am trying to update, the operating system, and application, each caused the same crash. This mac book is less than a month old.

That is the highest you will be able to go with 3g. You need 3gs or 4 to go any higher (multi processors and more memory needed). Version 4.2.1 marks the end of your updates for that device.

IMac - Display doesn´t work after restart

My iMac 21 Display doesn´t work after restart. If I turn it off and 1 hour later I want use it again the iMac shows the white screen with the mac logo and then the display goes off. I connected an external display to check if the iMac was ON and with the external display I can login and do everything but the iMac Display doesn´t work .
If I turn it off and wait 3 or 4 hours and then turn it back on the display works OK.
This is very strange behavior I have spent hours and hours trying to fine the solution or a similar issue but nothing so I am looking help here at apple.com
BTW When I bougth the iMac 21 there were some spots over the display so the display was replaced by the provider. The warranty has expired by now.

To tell you the truth, I don't know if they have to repalce the LCD panel or what they do for a bad backlight. In this reality of block or assembly replacement it probably involves repalcing the panel and not the backlight component. Don't know what it would cost. You'd have to ask that of a service center.
