The smallest 64 bit OS there is...

Hi guy's,
I don't know if it's allowed to mirror this version, but unless I hear something, I put it up.
This here, ladies and gentlemen is Menuet OS 64bit version 0.07
It's totaly written in Assembler, has a GUI, even some games and compilers.
The fun part, is that it runs from ONE floppy!!!!
You can create the floppy, then reboot your system with that floppy.
It does NOT touch your harddisk or such.
I just wanted to share this with you, as the 32 bit version does have a lot of neat options and programs.
This version is more like a preview, but the some of the games work, heck maybe we can even get the project more intrest, as I like this, even when it's far from very usefull.

    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Mac book pro is very very slow/it hangs for even the smallest tasks/even with the lid closed it is still running if it is not completely turned off. Dose any one know what may be wrong ? and how to fix it?

    More details about the problem : My computer is a Mid 2012 Mac Book pro 2.9GHz i7 processor with 8GB RAM updated to OS X v10.8.5
    - I ran a compleet scan of my computer for any threats ( I used virus barrier express ) and there was nothing identified
    - When I oppened the Activiti Monitor there are about 20-30 processes which I do not undersatand they are run under the user "root" 2 in perticular ( Kernel_task & fseventsd ) they both take up a lot of threads and kernel_task is constantly using 1.2 GB of "real memory" which is at least 20 times any other process that is running espesially the ones that run under the user "Apple" I do not know if this is causing the problems on my mac but i tryed to forces close it and it dose not even let me click the button, the others close but reopean immideatly. I will attach a screen shot of what i have mentioned here.
    - The problems I am facing are mainly performance :- To state a few examples, my mac dose not seam to be able to handile even the smallest tasks like switching tabs on safari, typing any thing, playing a movie withought stopping inbetween, etc.. ( let me elaborate on why I said its not able to handil these tasks, it is because when I am trying to do any one of the afformentioned tasks inbetween the cursor becomes a rainbow collered spinning disk and I am unable to do anything for about 10 seckonds after which it starts to work again for some time before it happens again. )
    - Another concern of mine is that my mac seems to be on even with the lid closed if I do not shut it down compleetly, if i just close the lid after some time the computer starts warming up, and the fan starts running. the battery is drained at the same rate or slightly less rate than it would have if i was using it normally with the lid opean. ( altough this is happning the screen dose not turn on untill the lid is opean again )
    - I have only 300+ GB full out of my 750GB so i believe these are not issues caused by my mac's memory being full ( BUT THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED THIS WAS HAPPNING WAS WHEN MY MEMORY WAS ABOUT 720GB FULL WHEN THESE ISSUES FIRST AROSE I IMMEADITLY DELEATED 400+GB OF MY USELESS FILES THAT I HAD BEEN HORDING ALL OF WHICH WERE MOVIES ) that about covers it all PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF ANY ONE KNOWS WHAT TO DO.
    Ps: I apoligize if I have given too many unrelevant details, not enough usefull information and or if i was just all over the place with my explanations but I am really frustrated and was hoping not to miss anyting. Please let me know if any information at all is required and ill do my best to provide it.

  • How to get the last 32 bits in ANSI X9.19 MAC generation ( very urgent )

    I am trying to generate the MAC of 256bits of data according to ANSI X9.19 standard.
    I am trying to do this in the following way
    1) Encrypt the whole 256 bits using DES in CBC mode ( blocksize=64bits and hence 4 blocks)
    2) Taking the last 8 bytes (i.e., last 64bits) I am decrypting it with DES in ECB mode using another key
    3)Taking the ciphertext from above step, i am encrypting the ciphertext using DES ECB mode with key used in step1
    Is the above steps are correct according to ANSI X9.19 MAC standard.
    If so how to generate the final 32 bits from the 64 bits of the final block according to the X9.19 standard.

    Please see the paper at the following location
    http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/cache/papers/cs2/112/http:zSzzSzwww.scs.carleton.cazSz~paulvzSzpaperszSzElecLetters.pdf/a-key-recovery-attack.pdf
    The above pdf file describes the X9.19 MAC generation and at the end of the file there is the diagram that describes the process.
    2) Taking the last 8 bytes (i.e., last 64bits) I
    am decrypting it with DES in ECB mode usinganother
    key Really? Decrypt something that wasn't encrypted?
    aking the ciphertext from above step
    What ciphertext? Do you mean plaintext? Or do you
    mean you encrypted in the previous step?
    , i am
    encrypting the ciphertext using DES ECB mode with
    key used in step1 Encrypting ciphertext? why? it's already encrypted.
    Is the above steps are correct according to ANSI
    X9.19 MAC standard.
    Almost certainly not, it reads like sheer nonsense to
    me.
    If so how to generate the final 32 bits from the 64
    bits of the final block according to the X9.19
    standard.
    You carry out the steps in the standard. I haven't
    read it. Have you?

  • How can I auto export a PDF File using the "Smallest File Size" preset and set the Exported File Name based on information from an Imported PDF?

    Greetings all,
    I am trying to create a script to automate a PDF export process for my company for inDesign. I’m fairly new to inDesign itself and have no previous experience with javascript, although I did take C++ in high school and have found it helpful in putting this code together.
    We have an inDesign template file and then use the Multi-page PDF importer script to import PDF files. We then have to export two version of each file that we import, then delete the imported file and all of the pages to reset the template. This has to be done for nearly 1000 pdf files each month and is quite tedious. I’m working on automating the process as much as possible. I’ve managed to piece together code that will cleanup the file much quicker and am now trying to automate the PDF exports themselves.
    The files are sent to us as “TRUGLY#####_Client” and need to be exported as “POP#####_Client_Date-Range_North/South.pdf”
    For example, TRUGLY12345_Client needs to be exported as POP12345_Client_Mar01-Mar31_North and POP12345_Client_Mar01-Mar31_South.
    There are two templates built into the template file for the north and south file that are toggled easily via layer visibility switches. I need to get a code that can ideally read the #s from the imported Trugly file as well as the Client and input those into variables to use when exporting. The date range is found in the same place in the top right of each pdf file. I am not sure if this can be read somehow or if it will have to be input manually. I can put North or South into the file name based on which template layer is visible.
    I am not sure how to go about doing this. I did find the following code for exporting to PDF with preset but it requires me to select a preset and then type the full file name. How can I set it to automatically use the “Smallest File Size” preset without prompting me to choose and then automatically input some or preferably all of the file name automatically? (If the entire filename is possible then I don’t even want a prompt to appear so it will be fully automated!)
    PDF Export Code (Originally from here: Simple PDF Export with Preset selection | IndiSnip [InDesign® Snippets]):
    var myPresets = app.pdfExportPresets.everyItem().name;
    myPresets.unshift("- Select Preset -");
    var myWin = new Window('dialog', 'PDF Export Presets');
    myWin.orientation = 'row';
    with(myWin){
        myWin.sText = add('statictext', undefined, 'Select PDF Export preset:');
        myWin.myPDFExport = add('dropdownlist',undefined,undefined,{items:myPresets});
        myWin.myPDFExport.selection = 0;
        myWin.btnOK = add('button', undefined, 'OK');
    myWin.center();
    var myWindow = myWin.show();
    if(myWindow == true && myWin.myPDFExport.selection.index != 0){
        var myPreset = app.pdfExportPresets.item(String(myWin.myPDFExport.selection));
        myFile = File(File.saveDialog("Save file with preset: " + myPreset.name,"PDF files: *.pdf"));
        if(myFile != null){
            app.activeDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, myFile, false, myPreset);
        }else{
            alert("No File selected");
    }else{
        alert("No PDF Preset selected");
    So far my code does the following:
    1) Runs the Multi-Page PDF Import Script
    2) Runs PDF Export Script Above
    3) Toggles the Template
    4) Runs #2 Again
    5) Deletes the imported PDF and all pages and toggles template again.
    It’s close and much better than the original process which was almost 100% manual but I’d like to remove the Preset prompt from the PDF script and have it automatically select the “Smallest File Size” preset. and then if there’s a way to have it auto-fill in the file name so no user input is required at all other than selecting each file to import. (If there’s a way to setup a batch action for the multi-import script that would be even better!)
    Thanks in advance and if there’s anything else I can provide that would help please let me know! Even a nudge in the right direction will be a big help!

    If you hold down the option key, it will typically show the location. Or you can often hit option-return on the file and it will reveal the file in the Finder, instead of opening it.
    Final option is to open it, and just option-click the filename in the toolbar of Preview and it should show you the location.
    It's probably an attachment to an email you've received. If you have Mail set to cache emails and their attachments it'll be stashed in a subdirectory of ~/Library/Mail. Which is fine.

  • Can someone help me find a workaround to get flash to work in XP Pro 64 bit, like there is a workaround for vista 64 bit?

    Can someone help me find a workaround to get flash to work in XP Pro 64 bit, like there is a workaround for vista 64 bit?
    I am trying to get rid of all my 32 bit apps because the more of them you run in 64 bit the less resources are available.
    Firefox has a 64 bit browser they call the Shiretoko build. I love it, it's twice as fast as a heavily tweaked 32 bit firefox. Java has a 64 bit plugin that works with it.
    The last holdout is Adobe.
    Microsoft is making Vista and Win 7 64 bit as easy and smooth as the 32 bit versions as a means to get people to start using them.
    Linux has a way to make flash work with 64 bit.
    Remember when we all had a 16 bit operating system and how much better things got with 32 bit?
    Adobe, it's time!.. don't you see that?
    Can someone help me solve my problem? Please?

  • Could not complete the smart sharpen command because there is not enough memory (RAM)

    Hi,
    I'm trying to complete the AutoSharpen (Filter->Sharpen->AutoSharpen) feature but, i'm getting the following error when i click on "Ok".
    Error in Dialogue Box "Could not complete the smart sharpen command because there is not enough memory (RAM)".
    Request the SME's and Adobe community team members to help me overcome this step to proceed further.
    I'm using a 32 Bit Win7 OS and have a 4GB RAM on board.
    Regards,
    Sachin_

    As Curt says, Photoshop got more hungry for RAM from CS4, and 32bit systems just weren't cutting it, but there was a trick we used to use to squeeze a bigger slice of the available installed 4Gb
    Run the Command Prompt as Administrator, and type:
    "bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVa 3072"   (I can't remember whether the quote marks are needed or not.)
    That used to work for me with XP, and it is _supposed_ to work with Windows 7, but I know it doesn't always.
    If it doesn't work, or has unwanted consequences, turn it off with:
    "bcdedit /deletevalue IncreaseUserVa"
    If you want to research it before trying, seach for 'Windows 7 3Gb switch'.

    Yes.  
    And will it restore if the hd isn't even there? Like what if it got stolen or destroyed.
    Also yes.
    Directly-connected external drives (ie, USB, FireWire, Thunderbolt) are not backed-up by default.  You must remove them from the exclusion list in Time Machine Preferences > Options to get them backed-up.  (Network drives cannot be backed-up.)
    And they must be formatted for a Mac -- any variation of Mac OS Extended.
    If the drive is connected, you can browse or restore normally -- just go to the folder or document in question and Enter Time Machine.
    If the drive is not connected, it's a bit different.  See #E3 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

    There is no need or no way to reinstall iTunes on your iPhone. Any request you are seeing to do so, would be referring to iTunes on your computer.

  • What is the SMALLEST SGA for 10g you can have on Windows OS?

    Hi all,
    We are setting up a server that will be used for some DBA classes. Each student will get their own database instance to play with. For this reason, we want to try and create the SGA's with the SMALLEST possible amount of memory, so that we can put as many instances as possible on the server.
    So far, the smallest we've been able to get them is down to about 68 Megs. If the SGA_TARGET is set to anything smaller than that, we get the "ORA-04030 out of process memory" error.
    I've often read about tricks in Windows to make your SGA bigger, does anyone know how to do the opposite?

    If you eliminate the Java, Large and Streams pools, you should be able to go a bit lower. However, tha means you can not use those features.
    Remember that the smallest size is dependant on the definition of granule - in your case it'll be multiples of 4M.
    It's been a while since I played with this area, but it seem to me the smallest I managed was around 56M. I also remember having discussion with someone who achieved around the 56-64M size by unloading Java ... all he needed was pure SQL for OiD.

  • Can't believe the caching bug is STILL there

    Hi,
    I MUST be missing something. It can't be true that this has not been fixed after so many years.
    So well, the problem is, every time you load an external asset or file, say for example using a Loader object or a URLLoader object (the same happened in AS2 with MovieClipLoader, LoadVars, XML.load() etc etc, and even before with loadMovie, etc) - every time you load a file, the Flash Player caches that file, and this is independent from your browser: it is Flash Player's own (and primitive) caching mechanism.
    Whenever you load a file with the same URL again, no matter whether the file has been changed or not, Flash Player will use the cached copy, and there's NO WAY to prevent that - there are a few workaround that I will discuss later but they don't solve the problem completely, besides being terribly combersome.
    Now, the HTTP protocol has a wonderful mechanism to manage the caching of files in an intelligent way, which has been working for years and, I think, was invented even before flash existed, however at least 10 years ago, and it works fine.
    If an HTML page has an IMG tag with an image, for example, and if the browser has already a cached version of the image with that URL, the browser will first ask the server for that file and declare it has a cached version with date xxx; if the server's file is not newer than xxx, then the server replies that the file has not changed and the browser can use its cached version (or insist to redownload it if he wishes). But if the file on the server is newer, the server will reply with the new file, and the browser will NEVER show an obsolete cached version of the image (or whatever file).
    Now, I don't know why, Flash Player was designed in a very primitive way that ignores this whole mechanism provided and standardised by the HTTP protocol. Flash Player will ALWAYS use a cached version of the file if he has one, it won't worry about veryfying whether it is obsolete or not.
    So, unless the user clears its cache, whenever you update an xml, txt, jpg or whatever file that is loaded within your flash application, users that have previously visited the page may still see the old version.
    Now, there's an easy workaround for ensuring that a cached version of the file is NEVER used, which is appending a "?somerandomname="+n to the filename, where n is obtained for example as n=(new Date()).value(); in order to ensure that it is always different.
    This way, the complete url of the file is always different and the cached version will never be used.
    However, this is not a solution either. For small text files it is ok, but for images and swf's for example, you DO want the cached file to be used IF it is not obsolete. Otherwise, returning visitors will always have to wait for the complete download time of everything, including files that have been downloaded yesterday and have not been modified.
    So, this problem has been solved ages ago by the HTTP protocol, but the Flash Player is naive and ignores it.
    I used to use 2 workarounds: the one I have mentioned for small files (texts, xml's), and the following one for files that can be updated every once in a while:
    In the main html page, I append "?lastupdate=dddddd" to the swf name, where dddddd is a manually edited date of the last time something relevant has been updated. So for example:
    <object ....... etc etc> <param name="movie" value="mainswffile.swf?lastupdate=20090625"/>... <embed etc etc etc src="mainswffile.swf?lastupdate=20090625"/></object>
    Or something like that.
    When I update some of the files that are to be loaded, I manually edit the "lastupdate" thing in the html.
    Then in the ActionScript programming I use the _root.lastupdate variable to append to the filenames of images or assets I load.
    All this is horribly cumbersome and error-prone. Image you deploy a website to a client that will be able to update his own texts and images: you have either to explain him how to edit the html file also, or create some complicated server-side or client-side script to manage the cache-avoiding system. That is, reinventing the wheel, in this case the cache.
    Every time a new version of the player was released, I expected it to fix the stupid caching problem and to make my cumbersome tricks obsolete and unnecessary.
    I expected to see that the new version would make proper use of HTTP caching protocol specifications, and use cached files ONLY when they are not outdated, after verifying it with the server according to the HTTP protocol.
    Every new version of the player was a disappointment.
    Then I hope the new version of the language, Action Script 3.0, would fix this.
    No, it seems it doesn't.
    I've done some tests with AS3 and with my great and sad surprise, the caching "bug" is still there.
    Well, the bug, not the "bug": this is a bug proper, because there's no reason why it should work this way.
    So, my question is.
    Maybe am I missing something? Is there a way, by using some method or property of URLLoader, Loader and/or URLRequest, to tell Flash Player to use the cache in an intelligent way? I mean, in a not-astonishingly-stupid way?
    Note that I'm not talking about forcing it to NOT USE cache at all: I mean using a cached version when it is appropriate, and redownloading the file when needed, as all decent http application have done for years.
    Perhaps there IS a way to solve this.... It should be the default behaviour and should be transparent, but however, if there is a SERIOUS fix (not a hackaround), that would at least solve the problem.
    Do anybody know of a method that really works?
    (I have read of people trying by using http headers with caching directives but without success; or in the best case maybe they were able to force never-caching, which is NOT a solution as I explained)
    Thanks in advance.
    And if there is any Adobe developer listening, please fix this bug since it is really a shame that an application written in 2008 or 2009 suffers from a problem that was elegantly and definitely solved in the XX century.

    I wrote a long reply and when I posted it it vanished.
    I had even control+c'opied it before submitting but it didn't even get into my clipboard.
    Shame on this forum (sorry to say that, but that's what I have to say).
    So, I'll try to write it again but it won't be the same: the amount of rage is augmented.
    Thank you BWolfe for letting me know that Flash now (since last year) has a bug management system. It was also such an enormous shame that it didn't have one.
    Adobe used to confuse bug reports with feature requests; now this kind of confusion is still partially there and it is reflected by the voting thing, which is an absolute aberration. In a decent bug management system, the developers take the responsibility to give the bugs the priority they deserve; and no matter how low the priority, even the smallest bug ALWAYS get into the queue.
    Now this bug we are discussing has been well known for AT LEAST EIGHT YEARS and I am not exaggerating at all, as I started using flash in 2001 and the issue was already mentioned here and there in forums etc; probably some blind people didn't see it as a bug (rather as a situation you have to face or work around), but it was known. And the very solution, as I already pointed out, was there even before Flash was conceived (well, for the sake of scientifical rigour, I should say, before Flash was commercialized): the HTTP protocol has the capability to perfectly manage file caching in a manner transparent to the higher layer.
    So, since I don't believe that nobody at Adobe (formerly Macromedia) has heard about a bug that every intermediate-level actionscript developer in the world knows of, it is already kind of a shame that we have to report it in 2009, but that's ok. But that we have to get votes, no, that's an insult.
    Jesus, ActionScript is a programming language, man, A PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE... it is not like Photoshop or Premiere; and it seems like in so many years, people who manage it haven't yet realised it completely.
    Big Brother contestants should be voted. Feature requests may be voted. Bugs cannot be voted should just be fixed one by one as soon as possible.
    Well, sorry for the rant and thank you for the answers.
    Hope this gets through this time.

  • "Unable to save the raw conversion settings. There was a write permission error."

    I just built a new workstation for processing photos using PS CS5. I use external drives to store my images as I find it easier for backing up as well as for when I want use my laptop for sorting, etc.. I copied over all my old "Collection" files, and of course, had to "fix" them once on the new machine. Once pointed in the right direction, the collections all fill out correctly.
    When I go to process a collection though, I encounter an odd problem I can't seem to sort out. I can delete files, rename files, copy/paste to the external drives, etc.. What I can't seem to do is add Labels, Ratings, or modify RAW settings. I mean, I can use ACR to make adjustments, I just can't seem to save them.
    The system just ignores label, rating commands completely. When I try to save an ACR adjustment I get this error. "Unable to save the raw conversion settings. There was a write permission error."
    The files are NOT write protected. I'm set up as the owner of my workstation, with complete control of the system. I can't seem to find any useful information about this error because the "write permission error" seems to only be happening on installs, so that's all I can find help for.
    My system:
    Intel Core i7 970@ 3.20GHZ
    24.0 GB RAM
    64-bit OS - Windows 7 Pro
    DX58S02 Motherboard
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580

    Thanks for replying. I've been going crazy trying to fix this.
    To answer your first question; I use sidecar XMP files. If everything from my archive was shot in RAW I'd try converting to DNG and see if embedding the changes directly in a file worked. Unfortunately, a lot of my old stuff was shot in JPG, so sidecars seems to be the best choice.
    When I add labels, ratings, as well as change RAW settings on files I place on my workstations HD everything works. It's only when I try to do these things with the same files on removable drives that I run into trouble. The drives I use are Transcend 640GB StoreJet 25ms connected via USB.
    I don't think it's a UAC problem. At least, to my understanding, doesn't that control how your machine alerts you to program changes? I looked into how to change ownership, and did so, but that didn't work. Here's a link to what I mean: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/windows-7-access-denied-permission-ownership/
    I'm stumped. I also hate the idea that I'll have to go through various folders to find images from already created collections, copy them to a new folder on my HD and then work on them. Then I'll have to put them all back... ugghhhh

  • Eversince I updated my iphone 4 to IOS 5.0.1, sometimes I get a 'No Service' or 'Searching'  signal where my network signal should be upon which I have  to 'Reset all Settings' to get the phone normal again.Is  there a solution to this?

    I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
    I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more.  And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should.  On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much.  I will post a note in the app store to let them know.  I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
    I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine. 
    Starbucks app works as it should. 
    I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.

  • Trying to find out how to get the smallest value in a 2-D array

    I figured out how to get the largest and smallest in a 1-D array, but I'm having trouble with the for loop for the 2-D array
    I can't seem to figure out how I can get it to check every element in the 2-D array
    Lets say I have this array
    int[][] aRay = new int[][] {{ 1, 2, 3} , {4, 5, 6 }};and I want to find the smallest value, I think I can figure out what goes in the box of the for loop I just need help with how I can check every element..
    Thanks all

    Ok so here's what i've got so far and my brain is starting to hurt,
    My output right now is "2".. i'm almost there :/ aren't I?
    public class bladddhd
         public static void main( String [] args )
         int[][] aRay = new int[][] {{ 1, 2, 3} , {4, 5, 6 }};
              int length2 = aRay[0].length;
              int temp = 0;
              for(int i = 0; i < aRay.length; ++ i)
                        if(aRay[0] > temp)
                             temp = aRay[0][i];
                        for(int j = 0; j < length2; ++j)
                                  if(aRay[1][j] < temp)
                                       temp = aRay[1][j];
                   System.out.println(temp);
