To wait, or not to wait

What I'm actually wondering is that,
1. What updates might happen to the new refresh of the iMac for 2009?
2. When would it be released?
3. Should I get an iMac or a MacBook Pro (I could get the best of either product)?
4. Which would be better at playing WoW with(With decent FPS)?
5. I'm also going to college to learn about Audio Engineering.. So which would work better for starting a home recording studio?
6. Which is guaranteed for best performance?

1. What updates might happen to the new refresh of the iMac for 2009?
Only Apple knows.
2. When would it be released?
Ditto. We might see something announced at MacWorld in January. But then again, we might now.
3. Should I get an iMac or a MacBook Pro (I could get the best of either product)?
Depends on how much you need portability. Since you're going to be going to college, I'd probably suggest opting for portability so you can use your system at school as well as at home. You may well want to be recording artists and ensembles and editing tracks when you're on campus.
4. Which would be better at playing WoW with(With decent FPS)?
Barefeats does WoW benchmark testing. Check them out. Of course this will apply only to existing systems; what the performance of some future Mac model will be is unknown.
5. I'm also going to college to learn about Audio Engineering.. So which would work better for starting a home recording studio?
Again, I'd opt for portability. The you can take your "studio" on the road, to campus, friends' houses, etc. to record.
6. Which is guaranteed for best performance?
Neither. It's going to depend on what it's doing. See the Barefeats benchmarks for real-world comparisons.

HSDIO conditionally fetch hardware compare sample errors (script trigger to flag whether or not to wait for software trigger)

I am moderately new to Labview and definitely new to the HSDIO platform, so my apologies if this is either impossible or silly!
I am working on a system that consists of multiple PXI-6548 modules that are synchronized using T-CLK and I am using hardware compare. The issue I have is that I need to be able to capture ALL the failing sample error locations from the hardware compare fetch VI... By ALL I mean potentially many, many more fails than the 4094 sample error depth present on the modules.
My strategy has been to break up a large waveform into several subsets that are no larger than 4094 samples (to guarantee that I can't overflow the error FIFO) and then fetch the errors for each block. After the fetch is complete I send a software reference trigger that is subsequently exported to a scriptTrigger that tells the hardware it is OK to proceed (I do this because my fetch routine is in a while loop and Labview says that the "repeated capbility has not yet been defined" if I try to use a software script trigger in a loop).
This works fine, but it is also conceivable that I could have 0 errors in 4094 samples. In such a case what I would like to do is to skip the fetching of the hardware compare errors (since there aren't any) and immediately begin the generation of the next block of the waveform. That is, skip the time where I have to wait for a software trigger.
I tried to do this by exporting the sample error event to a PFI and looping that PFI back in to generate a script trigger. What I thought would happen was that the script trigger would get asserted (and stay asserted) if there was ever a sample error in a block, then I could clear the script trigger in my script. However, in debug I ended up exporting this script trigger back out again and saw that it was only lasting for a few hundred nanoseconds (in a case where there was only 1 injected sample error)... The sample error event shows up as a 1-sample wide pulse.
So, my question is this: is there a way to set a flag to indicate that at least one sample error occurred in a given block that will persist until I clear it in my script? What I want to do is below...
generate wfmA subset (0, 4094)
if scriptTrigger1
clear scriptTrigger1
wait until scriptTrigger0
end
clear scriptTrigger0
generate wfmA subset (4094, 4094)
I want scriptTrigger1 to be asserted only if there was a sample error in any block of 4094 and it needs to stay asserted until it is cleared in the script. scriptTrigger0 is the software trigger that will be sent only if a fetch is performed. Again, the goal being that if there were no sample errors in a block, the waiting for scriptTrigger0 will not occur.
I am probably going about it all wrong (obviously since it doesn't work), so any help would be much appreciated!

Please disregard most of my previous post... after some more debug work today I have been able to achieve the desired effect at slower frequencies. I did straighten out my script too:
generate wfmA
if scriptTrigger1
clear scriptTrigger0
wait until scriptTrigger0
end if
generate wfmA
scriptTrigger1 = sample error event flag
scriptTrigger0 = software trigger (finished fetching error backlog in SW)
However, I am still having a related issue.
I am exporting the Sample Error Event to a PFI line, looping that back in on another PFI line, and having the incoming version of the Sample Error Event generate a script trigger. My stimulus has a single injected sample error for debug. For additional debug I am exporting the script trigger to yet another PFI; I have the sample error event PFI and the script trigger PFI hooked up to a scope.
If I run the sample clock rate less than ~133MHz everything works... I can see the sample error event pulse high for one clock period and the script trigger stays around until it is consumed by my script's if statement.
Once I go faster than that I am seeing that the script trigger catches the sample error event occasionally. The faster I go, the less often it is caught. If I widen out the error to be 2 samples wide then it will work every time even at 200MHz.
I have tried PFI0-3 and the PXI lines as the output terminal for the sample error event and they all have the same result (this implies the load from the scope isn't the cause).
I don't know what else to try? I can't over sample my waveform because I need to run a true 200MHz. I don't see anything that would give me any other control over the sample error event in terms of its pulsewidth or how to export it directly to a script trigger instead of how I'm doing it.
Any other ideas?

Iphone 4s not syncing to iTunes *waiting for changes to be applied*

I have a brand new iphone 4s that wouldnt sync with my pc desktop and i recently got a new mbp and the same thing is happening an error keeps popping up in Itunes after the 2nd step of syncing and it says waiting for changes to be applied. Its really frustrating i restored my phone and it did nothing for the syncing just deleted all my apps...and ive researched these problem before and its obvioius a big occurance with other users and apple has done nothing?!?! wth !! and i have no voice memos on my phone so there is nothing to delete for those that have solved their issue that way....So if someone has a solution to help me sync my iphone 4s to my mbp i would greatly appreciate since obviously apple does not care to fix this issue!!!! terrible..

also tried to wifi sync and nothing ...

HT201412 iphone 4s apps will not reinstall on phone, stuck in waiting mode; new apps will only download if synced to itunes on PC

A few weeks ago about 7 of my apps had updates. I pressed update all and instead of it updating them, they were frozen for several days in "waiting" mode. Finally I was tired of this so I deleted the apps by pressing one and it activated the x to pop up on each app so I could delete. I deleted all the ones that were stuck in waiting, which was all the ones I was trying to recently update. I then went back to app store and redownloaded 1 of those that I had just deleted and it downloaded just fine. Tried that with others and and I got the same message before "waiting" and nothing. I've tried with all the previous apps and nothing new. I cannot at this point even download a new app from my app store on my phone. I can only upload new apps if I have downloaded them into itunes on my pc and then sync my phone to the itunes on the computer.
Today I came into itunes and under apps saw that many of them still needed to update. I clicked update all and they supposedly updated. Connected iphone to pc and tried to sync. It updated the working apps I still have and none of the old ones. I have tried to redownload my old apps via itunes on my computer but there isn't an option anymore, just says "downloaded."
Anything else I can do? I've tried shutting off, restarting, etc. and nothing has worked. I really don't want to have to reset to factory settings as I'm afraid I won't back up right and I'll loose all my pictures of my kids and other info.
Any help is appreciate! I use Verizon fyi and have had the phone about 10 mos with no problem till last month.

I have the exact same problem for the past 2 hours, and now I figure out how to solve it.
Go to iTunes then go to downloads, you will see something is stucked there which is not downloading, delete it, you don't have to delete all of them, only the one is not downloading.
The problem of my iPhone 4S iOS 5.01 came from iTunes U, just right after I started downloading some video clips or podcasts from iTunes U. I could not find any video clips in there, after 2 hours, I found the problem, it was in iTunes, downloads is happening in iTunes, not in iTunes U.
You don't need to restore your iPhone any more.

Text Entry not waiting for entry before continuing

Captivate 4
I'm trying to add a TEB where the user will need to enter the correct text before moving to the next slide. I would like it to continue as soon as they user types the correct entry. The problem is that the slide doesn't pause to wait for the entry - it continues to the next slide without anything being typed or a click. ??
I have the correct text listed in the 'Correct Entries' box and have it set to 'go to next slide' for 'On success'. Under 'Options', I have it set to 'Validate User Input'. I do not have any hint or caption buttons, and I am not showing a 'submit' button.
Can someone tell me how to get it to pause the training to wait for the user to enter the correct text?
Screen shots below.
Thanks in advance,
D

Hi there
Indeed there is!
You enable the Button in the properties. This will place an associated button next to the field.
What's that you are asking? You don't want a button?
Well, nobody said you actually have to SEE the button! Just double-click the button and its properties will show. Choose Transparent Button and configure it so it's invisible. Then you configure the other "1" for the Button press!
Cheers... Rick

BPS_WB: Please Wait Dialog Box not Displaying correctly???

When we switched our Planning Interfaces to using the New Planning Interface Design the Please Wiat Dialog Box does not display correctly.
When a Request is fired and the client is waiting for the Response all that shows is a white block in the middle of the screen with no dialog screen or other information.
It maybe associated with the following:
function bpsOpenURLSelf(doIt, url)
      if (doIt) {
        try {
            document.body.style.cursor = "wait"; // works only in IE
        } catch (ex) {} // ignore
        open(url,'_self');
      // note: function with doIt==false is used to check
      //       existence of the opener window
Or it may be associated with a CSS issue?
I am currently using IE 6.0.2900.2180.
Any thoughts would be appreciated!
Thanks, ATC

For the 2nd day my iPhone 5 will not let me download updates for apps. When i click update, it acts as if it is going to update but puts all apps in "waiting" status. I've tried selecting each, as well as deleting and re-downloading but to no avail.

For the 2nd day my iPhone 5 will not let me download updates for apps. I've tried selecting each to click off wait, and have selected new updates indvidually instead of all together. Also have shut the phone down and have even deleting the apps completely and re-downloaded but to no avail. Each app continues to sit on my screen with the line below as if it is about to download but never does, and now any apps I've tried to updated will not let me use them.

Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

Hello, my ipad mini is completely 0% and it won't charge on a wall charger, i tried to reboot, but then the low baterry sign pop up saying it is not charged, which is really annoying to me, i literally had to wait 8 hours to reach 1% before, thank you!

Hello, my ipad mini is not charging what so ever and it is literally 0%. Once I put it on my wall charger, it still won't charge. I tried rebooting it, by pressing the home and sleep button for 15 second. I tried to change the wall outlet, AC Charger Adapter with USB for the Apple ipad mini and nothing would not work. This happened more than a billion times, and i had to wait more than 18 hours just to reach 1% before.
My Imessage doesn't work either, each time I send a message it won't send.
I have lots of problems with my ipadmini.
Please help me,
Thank you!

iMessage not working:
1. Make sure software is up to date
2. Make sure Messages is enabled; Settings>Messages
3. Make sure Date and Time is correctly set; Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>On
4. Make sure Push Notification is enabled
5. Make sure phone number or email address is correct
6. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) until you see the Apple Logo

While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t have Lion. There's a Lion Support Community where everybody has Lion.You should also post this question there. https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion

I am having some trouble with receiving messages from iMessage users when I don't have my iMessage turned on. When I called for support, I spent 30 min waiting and the woman's response to me was "Turn on your iMessage." I prefer not to use it

I have an iPhone 5s and a MacBook Pro. Ever since I updated my computer software to Yosemite, it linked my Apple ID with my phone number and I am not receiving messages from iMessage users on my phone, but rather to my computer. I don't like to use iMessage so I keep it off and would like to receive all messages as SMS texts. I have already tried changing my Apple ID password, logging off of my Apple ID in iMessage on my phone and turning it off, and changing settings on messages on my computer. Nothing is working. Either the messages continue to go to my computer or the messages trying to be sent say they cannot be sent.
After spending 30 + minutes waiting for technical support, the woman helping me (who did not give me her name) told me I should just turn on iMessage. After explaining that I don't like having iMessage on and asking why it worked for at least a year up until this point she said "things change and sometimes we don't know why things do what they do". She asked me about various other things on my phone such as bluetooth and told me to turn on and off airplane mode and the call disconnected. I have not been contacted since, even though she has my phone number.
I am hoping for some help and also hoping people don't get the type of service I received tonight.

I think you can solve your problems by removing your AppleID email address from BOTH the Messages setting on your iPhone and the iMessages settings on your Mac.
On iPhone:
Settings > Messages > iMessage > Dissabled
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > touch the "(i)" < touch "Remove This Email"
On Mac:
Open "Messages" application
Click "Messages menu > Preferences
Click "Accounts"
Select your AppleID account
Under the "You can be reached for messages at" settings, uncheck your AppleID email address and your phone number
Then uncheck the "Enable this account" setting
And lastly, ask all of your friends with iPhones to delete all iMessage conversations (blue bubbles) in their entirety.
To test, send a friend a new text using their phone number (not their email address) and watch the color of the bubble. If it's green then you are using SMS.

I have downloaded Firefox 6.. tried 7, and it will not connect once I attempt to open it initially. It comes up with blank boxes and notation states "waiting on firefox".. not sure what to do

I had an issue with firefox opening zygna games on facebook last week. I uninstalled firefox and reloaded it. Actually tried it last week a few times and today tried Firefox 7 and then Firefox 6, which i now have on computer. When it goes to open initially, the screens come up blank. There is a little popup that I believe asks if i should set firefox as main browser, however no dialogue in the box. The notation on my computer says "waiting for firefox" and it just sits there.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
