Threads don't stop

Hi all
I have a class that extends Thread it gets to the end of the run method but the thread doesn't want to stop running. I though about using the stop() method, but it's depricated due to the fact that it can cause some problems with the program.
I was wondering whether there is any other way to ensure that the thread stops. I have tried the return statement as the documentation suggest for a replacement to the stop() method.

Is there any GUI business going on in this app?The only GUI business that is going on is the following set of calls just to get user input(in the test-app)
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Please specify the directory");
        JFileChooser fileChooser = new JFileChooser();
        fileChooser.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.DIRECTORIES_ONLY);
        response = fileChooser.showOpenDialog(null);
If you want the app to end when that thread is done,
then the simplest thing is to just have main join that
thread and then call System.exit(0) after the join.
That's not always the safest route though. If the
program is still running, it suggests there are other
non-daemon threads still alive. In this case, they're
presumably done with their work and just waiting for
more. If so, then System.exit should be safe.The test-app should end when the thread is finished but when It gets imlemented into the live app, the live-app needs to be able to continue. This thread will be called multiple times at a regular interval during the life-time of the app. The live-app is a server app, thus it can go on indefinitely, and I don't need to have threads that don't stop running when they aren't required.

Satellite M30X: fans don't stop if connected to the power supply

hi ,
I have a M30X and during the last months the fans when I'm connected to the power supply don't stop at all. It also shut down quite often. However the laptop is not warm. Do you have any clue?
Regards,

Hi
If you connect the AC adaptor to the notebook the Toshiba power saver changes the power modes. Possibly the power mode has different settings in the ??basic setup??. Please check the cooling method and change it to lower level.
But of course, the dust and debris could have a bad influence on the fan behavior.

Videos Played through Home Sharing Don't Stop

Since the last update, videos that we play on an iPad over the Home Share network, don't stop playing when you shut down the app (the sounds keeps going and the Play symbol is still showing in the top right corner). Sometimes, the controls to stopt he video do not come up at all while a video is playing.
Anyone else having a problem like this? Happening on both of our iPads (iPad 2 and iPad 3).
Thanks.

Forum is designed to address technical problems. You can get free advise here, or you can contact apple
for the advice. You may have to pay to Applecare for the support thou. At that time I do not have precise information on how to stop that from happening, what I would try is going to settings, general, reset and use reset all settings option. You will lose your wallpaper, and will have to reenter wi fi password, but will not lose any other info. You also will have to go through initial set up where you have to pick English and your country. You want to make sure that you set your ipad as new, when presented with that option.

The touch don't "stop working" while I'm in a phone call

Every time I call to someone the touch don't stop then I stay disconnect or placing in the dumb without wanting! I bought this iPhone a week ago! Can I fix this problem by myself or I will need to take it to a apple store?

DO you have a case on it?
IF so, remove it and see if that solves the issue.

Thread: how to stop it?

I'm new with thread and I don't understand some things about that.
For example: when I create a Class that extends Thread class I must override the method run(), right? After when I call the method start() from the Class the thread runs in a never-ending cycle? How can I stop it?
The example code:
public class MyClass extends Thread {
    private int value;
    public MyClass() {
        value = 0;
    public void run() {
        value++;
}Does the class continue to do the addition until it will throw an exception (when the max value of int type is reached)?

Try to run it and see, no?Quoting myself ... I did not mean to be facetious. I really thought that actually running the code would be the clearest way of "seeing" the results. Better answers both before and after mine have provoked me to add the following:
It is very common to code the actual guts of your "Thread" similar to this:
private boolean run = true;
public void run() {
try {
    while (run) {
      doMethodA();
      doMethodB();
} catch(InterruptedException ie) {
    doMethodC(); // or print the stack trace or something
private void doMethodA() {
private void doMethodB() {
if ( "bad".equals(condition) )
    run = false;
}

A thread wouldn't stop

Hi
Can anyone explain me this:
I have a thread running.
(A class ext. Thread impl. Runnable)
I wouldn't be able to stop the thread outside with doing:
mythread = null;
The thread would stop if I do:
mythread.stop();
Although, the compiler says that this method is deprecated.
How should I stop the thread then?

Btw, did you say you have a class that both extends Thread and implements Runnable? There is no reason to do that.
If you extend from Thread, then you start the thread by calling start() on an instance of that object.
If you implement Runnable, then you create a new Thread object and start this object:
Runnable target = new MyRunnable();
Thread thread = new Thread(target);
thread.start();

Safari restrictions don't stop images from being seen

When I enable restrictions on my child's iphone for Safari and only certain websites are allowed, my child can still search a subject and then hit images and it will pull up images. Completely defeats the purpose. If I don't want my child reading about a certain topic, I definitely do not want them to see the topic.

If you dock the panels on the right (layers,etc) like the toolbox is docked that will stop the image from going under the panels.
Just grab the top of the panels (red box in screenshot) and move to the right until you see a blue line, then release.

'Laserjet 1022n Windows Update' causing printing problems: print jobs don't stop printing

Hello,
a few days ago, I installed the Laserjet 1022n Windows Update on my Windows 7 64 bits and since then, I can't print a page normally: the page doesn't stop printing. I am using a network port with TCP/IP.
I made several trials to solve this problem:
- uninstall the printer driver and installing it again (I tried the last version on the HP site and an older one that worked perfectly before)
- update the firmware of the printer to the last version on the HP site.
When I pause the printer and start the print job, you see it arriving in the list. Resuming the printer, the print starts on the printer but you see that the job stays in the list, flashing again and again. The printer keeps printing the same page.
I don't know what I can do to solve this problem. There is no mean of uninstalling the HP Laserjet 1022n software update because it doesn't appear in the list of installed programs (well on the list of the done updates by the way op windows updates).
I have the same problem printing on the same printer from another Windows 7 PC (with the same windows update done)
But I have no problem printing with my laptop on another network printers.
Is there someone having the same problem and how to solve it ?
Thanks for answering
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I found the solution on this site : http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/59912-29-1022n-printer-stop-printing
You just have to uncheck the chekbox "Enable two-way communication" on the "Ports" tab of the printer properties and it works normally again !!!!

Trying to verify my account but the verify threads don't have a reply option or instructions

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks, for a normal user who gets into these forums by searching on problem terms this is really convoluted because the stickies don't appear and I went through at least 10 threads of the verify your account posts that were all expired. For me as a normal
user who are searching and not browsing, stickies DON'T automatically appear, I looked because some threads referred to them and I couldn't see em.
Also many of those earlier threads are still what show up first on google searches, not the more recent ones that have the link to the sticky (although some middle aged ones have both a link to a thread that is expired followed by another link to a sticky
that might still be good).
I'm sure this all has been written about a thousand times somewhere in threads 1-26.
Hoping a better solution is found.

Javafx Multi Threading - How to stop a thread

Hi,
I'm working on a Javafx and Java based chat client. To avoid GUI freezing I have put all "business logic" calls to Java using the Runnable feature. Everyting works ok, but when for example disconnecting the chat client I would also like to stop this specifc thread, avoid building up unused threads. I have tried using .stop() but it looks like its being ignored.
Here my code:
main.fx:
progressIndicator.visible = true;
        var listener = FXListener_interface_connection {
                    override function callback(errorCode, errorMessage): Void {
                        //do something
                        if (errorCode != 200) {
                            setIcn(errorMessage);
                        } else {
                            progressIndicator.visible = false;
                            imageView9.visible = true;
                            openMessageListener();
                            rosterListener();
                            var ooo = ScaleTransition {
                                        duration: 0.2s
                                        node: imageView9
                                        byX: 0.6 byY: 0.6
                                        repeatCount: 8 autoReverse: true
                            ooo.play();
        var connect = FXListener_connection {
                    listener: listener
            connect.start();listener_connection.fx:
public class FXListener_connection extends JavaTaskBase {
    public var listener: FXListener_interface_connection;
    protected override function create() : RunnableFuture {
        new Java_callback_connection(listener);

    public void callback(Integer errorCode, String errorMessage);

        this.listener_interface_connection = listener_interface_connection;
    @Override
    public void run() throws Exception {
        //call function xmpp_connect()
        static_variables.xmpp.xmpp_connect();
    public static void connection(final Integer errorCode, final String errorMessage) {
        Entry.deferAction(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                listener_interface_connection.callback(errorCode, errorMessage);
}
