Hi
When TimeMachine is backing up some times other programs will not open?
Any ideas

Hi
Sorry but I forgot to say that it is backing up to a LaCie external hard drive.
Thanks

How to close Internet Explorer and other programs running on Windows?

In order for Flash Player to be installed or updated, any programs that use Flash Player must be closed. This includes Internet Explorer or other browsers, instant messengers, Skype, etc.
These programs may be running in the background, not as visible windows, but need to be closed anyway.
To close such programs use the Windows Task Manager. To start Task Manager, take any of the following actions:
Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, and then click Task Manager.
Press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC.
Right-click an empty area of the taskbar, and then click Task Manager.
Once the Task Manager is running, select the Processes tab. On older Windows version you may need to click on the Process Name or Image Name header to sort the process names.
Now right-click on every process that the Flash Player installer needs to close (e.g. iexplore.exe), then select End Process.
It would be desirable if the Flash Player installer could perform that action by itself; I have therefore created an enhancement request. If you were affected by this problem, please head over to the Bugbase and vote for this request: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3548136

It's not your wording that's at issue. It's the incorrect information you provided. Go back and read my reply.
I'm sorry but I can't help your mis-wording. I can only make sense from what you have written. Your location is the UK so I must assume English is your first language without other information to go by.
If you wrote the same thing a hundred times in one day, then you'd use copy and paste, too. So don't insult those of us who do.

Mail (and other programs) crash without trace

Hey all,
Really curious thing started happening to me a couple days ago - Mail, Safari, and other programs will just crash without warning - and without a dialog box of any sort. Like they were never launched - and it happens on things like when I add attachments, or go to some webpages that I used to go to without problem.
Any Ideas?

Jeremiah,
There are a few things to try here.
1. Do a Hard reset of the phone, hold the Home and sleep/wake button down until you get a apple logo on the screen. If issue continues go to next step.
2. Reset network settings.. Settings>General>Reset> Reset Network settings (This will power cycle the phone)
Does the issue continue after both of these steps?

How do I go back to 3.6 from 4.0. Having problems with Wikipedia and can't work with a shorter display [half screen] good with 4.0. McAffee, Norton and other programs aren't supported on 4.0

I need to go back to 3.6 from 4.0 Because:
1. Norton, some Mcaffee, and other needed programs aren't supported yet.
2. Can't downsize 4.0 to fit properly on a half screen, when using a text editor on one half and 4.0 display on the other half. I have to go to a full screen to do somethings, and then back to half screen after. Things aren't easy anymore.
3. When moving references and extras from Wikipedia to my PC, the reference numbers and other generated items are missing on my PC. Never with 3.6
Things are not easy going with 4.0!!!!!!!

Left Serial Track ball button doesn't aleways work in Firefox and T-bird, but works well in IE8 and other programs on this computer

Sys=WinXP SP3, ASUS MB, Athelon X2 6000 CPU, 4 (3) gb mem.
Intac Systems mouse trak track ball. This device works fine
with all the other programs on my computer. In T-bird or Firefox
the left mouse button often doesn't work for minutes at a time
then works for a few seconds, then stops again. The right button
works all the time, even when the left has stopped, as does the
ball to move the cursor. Have reloaded the Microsoft serial
mouse drivers and tested the mouse and all is OK.

The "Use custom settings for history" selection allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.
Firefox shows "Use custom settings for history" as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".
"Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a checkmark.
You need to remove the checkmark on "Always use private browsing mode" to leave Private Browsing mode or chose the "Remember History" setting.

Offline Files (Background) Sync makes File Explorer and other programs responding slow

Hi TechNet,
I have a problem with Offline Files and
especially with VPN users.
For VPN users, the slow-link
policy is activated with a background
sync interval of one hour. But, when Offline Files is syncing, their File Explorer is hanging (not responding) by creating new files/folders, deleting files/folder, or rename files/folders. This happens only in their (redirected)UserData
folder or with other DFS shares which are cached locally. In other programs (Outlook or Office 2010) when they save data in the UserData folder exactly the same things happens (not responding).
This problem occurs in both the
internal network and via VPN, so bandwidth is
not the problem. When the sync is finished, everything is working fine again.
I've tested:
- Offline mode with scheduled background sync: problem occurs
- Online mode with manual sync: problem occurs
- Rebuild offline cache database: no effect
- Tested with fresh Windows 8(.1) installations and user profiles: problem occurs
- Monitoring SMB traffic with WireShark: no result
- Montoring Windows 8(.1) clients with procmon: no result
- Tested with full DFS paths: problem occurs
- Disable IPv6: problem occurs
- Disable Windows Search: problem occurs
- Browsing in the Offline Files folder (Sync Center -> Manage Offline Files -> View Offline Files) is very slow (with +- 200 files). This occurs also when Offline Files is not syncing.
Does anyone have an idea how I can solve this problem?
Thanks,
Bas

Hello Steven,
First, sorry for the late response, I have tested a few things for you:
Offline mode with background sync over a VPN connection: During scheduled sync File Explorer hangs. When bypass the cache by using a UNC path (State: Online) there is also a delay, but this is caused by bandwidth.
Online Mode with Manual Sync over a LAN connection: During sync File Explorer hangs in (redirected)UserData Folders (They are always available offline, maybe this is a problem?). With UNC paths, there is no delay…
The first folder/file is created slowly, but the second is fast.
It's like csc
still
must initialize
the cache…or something…
I m I made some
print screens, but I can not upload them because my account is not verified.......
trT Thanks,

Firefox and other program icons are pictured as media

all of the icons are the same, in this case they're all media. dont' know how this happened. instead of opening firefox, it says it can't and it thinks its a media file, along with other programs i use, bearshare, yahoo messenger etc. pls help.

Do you see that font listed as one of the default fonts?
* Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors : Default font
Do you see that font if you select it as the default?
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.
* Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
* Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
* Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)

When I get art work from older illustrator programs and other programs the colors don't print the same as they did about 2 months ago. Big issue for me! How do I cange this or fix it?

Things were going fine until about a month or so ago, now when I take files from older illustrator programs or other programs that ran fine with illustrator before, the colors change. This is a BIG problem for me right now! I tried the on line help thing and I was afraid to erase the files that it asked me to erase because I may want it back the way it now is some day and because I don't have the files from the older program... PLS help! Have tryed to call and am waiting for a chat to open,...

gaskins,
You may have different Color Settings, and if you use Pantone you should be aware that the whole interpretation has changed (a number of times, most radically recently).
If you say more, more can be said.

Large applications - Labview and other programming languages

Hello Labview Users,
as the forum saw this very interesting thread about large applications programmed in Labview
(see: http://sine.ni.com/niforum/niforum?requireLogin=False&forumDU=http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?... ) I would like to ask the community about their experiences with Labview applications in combination with other programming languages.
In advance: I have several years of experience in programming Labview applications starting from quick-and-dirty solutions which had to run within few hours and complex test solutions. I saw Labview growing and becoming better with the released versions and lot of things I missed in former times got implemented in the meantime. Actually I have to develop a complexe ATE solution with numerous equipment to control and numerous data to be captured and archived. Despite the Verison 8 I still feel still some drawbacks of the LV concept which let me hestitate to setup the solution completly in Labview:
1) It is alway hard to re-use code of complex applications since it is not possible to do some kind of global search an replace of functions
variables etc. It nearly impossible to re-use approved code structures (e.g a state machine) if the "inner part" is changing more the a little bit.
2) If the application requires a certain flexibility (e.g. exchangeable test equipment of varying vendors) this is hard to implement since you have to define a lot of parameters through your hierarchy if you dont want use global variables which slow down your application and hide
the code functionality.
3) Despite modern PCs the look and feel of LV applications appears somewhat slow compared to other applications. For complex user interfaces the polling methode generates a lot of complex code. (I dont have expierence with the event-structure).
Now my questions:
Do you have experience of implemention of complex solutions dividingthe code modules using Labview and other languages? Which other
languages did you use? Why did you use these languages (speed, flexibility of text based code, available library functions)? Did you found out this to improve your development time and code maintainibility?
(I concider a solution where I do the single tests with Labview-VIs but delegate all the test sequencing and data collection stuff written in PERL which allows really very compact code)
I'm curious what your experiences are.
rainercats

Given that you're asking these questions in a forum for LabVIEW users the opinions given are going to be somewhat slanted towards the general like of LabVIEW. I've been working with LabVIEW for a long time, ever since 2.something on a Mac. I've written numerous large-scale applications as well as "mundane" instrument drivers. As you've noted you're experienced with LabVIEW, so you know some of its strengths and weaknesses.
To address your specific questions:
(1) Yes, that has always been a limitation in LabVIEW, but I don't believe it is an overriding one to choose C over LabVIEW. Putnam provided one workaround for the search and replace of VIs. Once you've programmed in LabVIEW long enough you get used to doing it this way. Is it clumsy? Yes. As for the re-use of code structures, that's not entirely true. You can create a "template" VI (a regular VI, not a .vit) that contains the code you want to re-use and place in your palette with the "Merge VI" option set. That way you can select it from your functions palette, plop it down on your diagram, and you get the "template" VI's diagram placed right into your new VI.
(2) This is not something that is specific to LabVIEW, as this exists with any programming language. It's not the language that limits you here, it's how you've designed your code. In a language like C++ you would go with classes. You can do the same thing in LabVIEW. IVI is another option (though not preferred by me).
(3) As Putnam mentioned, you should be using the event structure.
Other thoughts:
The biggest strength I see with LabVIEW is that each VI is a miniature program, which allows development and debugging of functions a snap. With a language like C you have to write another program to call that function in order to debug it. The biggest weakness? I would say user interface. Yes, even with the event structure. Don't get me wrong, the event structure has vastly improved the way user interfaces and event handling in general are done with LabVIEW, but it simply doesn't hold muster to a program written in C or VB. ActiveX anyone? LabVIEW still doesn't do ActiveX properly in terms of actually getting the controls to work. Programming ActiveX controls is just plain aggravating what with all the property nodes taking up so much diagram space.
It certainly makes sense to use the best tools available to you to get the job done. In my recent projects I had to write software to run automated tests on some products my company made. The test modules were written in LabVIEW. The tests executive was a proprietary engine driven by a SQL Server database. I had to write a "wrapper" DLL that interfaced between the LabVIEW code and the executive since the executive hadn't been designed to call LabVIEW DLLs directly. This allowed us to use LabVIEW as the preferred language for developing the test modules and let the guys who were fiddling with the test executive do their bit. Of course, TestStand's premise is basically that.

Upgraded hard drive, now only Photoshop from CS5 works and other programs do not

I recently changed out my hard drive for a bigger one during a computer upgrade. I deactivated my CS5 through Photoshop, and then changed out the hardware. I brought the programs back over and now only Photoshop works and the other programs of CS5 do not work. Is the license unique for each one? I assumed I only needed to deactivate one member of the CS5 family. What can I do now that I have a new hard drive?

If by "brought the programs back over" you mean you somehow transferred them from the old drive to the new one, transferring does not usually work. Adobe programs need to be installed using installations files. If you need to you can download those files thru the following page: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-product-downloads.html

Problem with InDesing hiding and other programs can not be opened on screen at the same time.

I have just installed InDesign on my Mac today. When opened it takes up all the screen and then when I try to open any other programs like a browser, it hides. I would like to make the InDesign window smaller, so I can follow instructions from a website, but the minimize window size buttons are not showing up at all. Any idea how I can fix the InDesing window size and show it along with the browser? Also how to detach it from Finder bar on the top of my screen?

Hi Guys,
Thank you so much for all your help. I was now able to fix it. It was after all the problem with the application frame being Off by dafout. It was showing up, but taking my whole descktop. Now when I followed your advice and checket it on under "Window" , it become much smaller and I am not able to resize it and the buttons to minimize or close it are now showing up (they were invisible before). Thank you so much to all of you who have helped me here.
If I may have one more question, I have enocuntered another problem with using this Trial version of inDesign. When I wanted to access Bridge from the Bridge icon inside the program, I got an message that I need to download it from Creative Clowd. I found it strange since I have Photoshop CS6 and Brigge is part of this program, so I don't want to pay for it via Clowd service.
I was able to open Bridge by just clicking on the program from my software launch screen, so it is now working along InDesign, but I wanted it to be part of the InDesign workspcace, so it would show along the program frame on the right of InDesign window and then could be attached there and moved along with it. In such set up I won't need to move each program frame separatelly when they are in my way while I work. I wonder if it could be fixed and how. Any ideas? I would appreciate very much your reply.

Safari, iChat cannot connect to internet but FF and other programs can

I upgraded from 10.5.8 to 10.6 and the upgrade is mostly very good. SL is nice and snappy, programs launch faster etc however....
Initially I had the no internet problem which I fixed by trashing the plist files in SystemConfiguration folder and rebooting. So that all worked and I could use the internet however....
The weirdest thing is that Safari will not connect to the internet, it just loads, then beachballs then I have to force quit it. Software Update does not work - just won't connect to the net and iChat just loads and shows nothing. Preference menu item is greyed out and noen of my accounts are shown there and it can't connect to the net however...
Very oddly, Firefox, MailPlane, Netnewswire etc all work perfectly and use the internet and all is fine. So there must be something somewhere aside from the plists I have deleted that are not allowing the connection with the Apple apps.
It's really my first experience ever of having a major issue on a system upgrade. I really don't want to have to do a clean install if I can help it.
Any help would be great thx.

When this occurs it's usually because a proxy is set in the Network preference pane when one isn't needed or vice-versa.
Firefox uses its own proxy settings and as such doesn't rely on the settings in System Preferences.

FCE3 and other programs

Hi everyone,
Is there any reason why I wouldn’t want to have my computer performing other tasks in other programs while I’m simultaneously working in FCE3? Things such as small programs running in the background, family members streaming my iTunes or downloading something off me from our in home network, or me even playing iTunes for that matter.
In almost all other applications I always have many things open at once. For some reason when I go to FCE, I close everything else. Other than the obvious slow down in performance is there any other reason it’s a good idea to do this? For example, does it put a strain on the hard drive, cause the FCE software to get buggy and crash or anything like that?
Thanks very much

I don't think it's such a big deal when you are merely editing (you know, cut, roll/ripple, move etc), except for a possible reduction in RT capability or a glitch when you are applying a filter or effect. More significantly, when you are capturing, rendering or creating an output movie, you don't want the cpu, i/o or network controller distracted by anything else, because you run a high risk of dropped frames. And there is always the opportunity for something to crash at just the wrong moment the more stuff you have running simultaneously.
