Trackpad periodically doesn't register movement for a number of seconds.
Every once in a while, probably once a day, my trackpad will stop registering movement for 5ish seconds. It can still click just fine, but it won't move. Usually it will start reading again for a second, then freeze up for another few, and on like that for half a minute until it goes back to normal.
Has this happened to anyone before?
I'm having the exact same problem with my MBP. So far I've run all AppleJack's options except for disk permissions and reset the PRAM without success.
None of these symptoms show up when a mouse is plugged in, which is 90% of the time for me.
Any input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hold a JFrame for a number of seconds
I am experimenting with JFrames to get ahead on my project, but one thing is holding me back and I want to know if it possible. Can you have a frame come up on the screen for a number of seconds and then disappear and continue with the rest of the program? For example, say you are opening up a calculator. You run the program and it pops up with a welcome header. You want this header to display for, say 10 seconds, and then disappear and continue on to dislay the working calculator for the user. I am not into applets yet if that should make any kind of difference.
so you want a slash screen, yes you can.
frame.show();shows the frame, and
frame.hide();will hide the frame.
The easyest way would be
frame.show();
Thread.currentThread().sleep(1000 * 60 * 10); // wait 10 seconds.
frame.hide();However if you do this, you can not be setting up the second window, so something like
class HideFrameTask extends java.util.TimerTask {
JFrame hideMe;
public HideFrameTask ( JFrame hideMe ) {
this.hideMe = hideMe;
public void run() {
hideMe.hide();
frame.show();
java.util.Timer timer = new java.util.Timer();
timer.schedule( new HideFrameTask( frame ), 1000 * 60 * 10 );
// make second frame -
My trackpad click doesn't register.
Hi there,
I have a 13" MacBook Pro, and it's trackpad click doesn't seem to be registering. Whenever I try to click on something, nothing happens. But I don't think it's a hardware problem, because as I have tap to click enabled, I would expect this to still register, which it doesn't. Also whenever I hover over something that should return something else on hover, say an item in the dock, nothing happens. I've tried restarting, and resetting the SMC to no avail. I am running 10.8.2. Has anyone else heard of this issue, or better yet, know how to fix it?
Thanks,
SamIs it actually.... CLICKING?
A known issue with these buttonless trackpads that are actually a huge button is that debris gets trapped in the minuscule gap between the pad and the aluminum chassis or topcase. Hence, the pad goes down, gets stuck and never comes back up. Then comes the nightmare of trying to locate and remove the obstruction without demolishing the device, lest you end up having to repair it The Apple Way: by replacing the whole topcase to the tune of lots of money.
So, is this your case? -

Why doesn't the rotate gesture on my trackpad behave as it used to for switching between tabs when it works the same with all other programs besides Firefox?
I changed the about:config to make the rotate gesture move between tabs, and it worked great for well over a year. Now it behaves erratically as described here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=877598
It used to be very controllable to move one tab over, now it is erratic and moves quickly and to unexpected tabs regardless of how slow I do the rotate gesture. This is the main reason I use Firefox over Chrome and I would like to continue to do so unless there is no fix to this.Just set the browser.gesture.twist.threshold to something around 15-25.

Mavric doesn't support my 5 years old Big Screen Display, OR? Tried to connect my Mac Book Pro after installing Mavric, The Screen didn't work as before. I could only see the Desktop but not the movies for example.
<E-mail Edited by Host>It appears what happened is the installer though it was looking at a empty drive and just went ahead and installed.
I of course am assuming here you didn't use Disk Utility to format the drive first before installing, that would wipe out your files and programs for sure.
So what to do, what to do.
Well there is hope for you as long as the drive wasn't Filevaulted.
I'll explain. When a hard drive writes data for the first time to a drive, it starts at the very top and works it's way down.
When OS X was installed the first time, it was at the top of the drive, unless you upgraded then the upgraded OS X could have been written elsewhere.
Now when you just reinstalled OS X, the new OS went on the top of the drive, overwriting any data that was there previously, so what was there you have lost forever which is about 8GB or so. If it was the previous OS there, then your more in luck because only the old OS X was overwritten.
The remaining space on the drive still can have a copy of your files, provided it's not overwritten yet.
It's because when a hard drive deletes data or reformats, it doesn't remove the data off the drive or overwrites it immediately, it's just made so it's SPACE is available for new files to be written there.
So technically one can recover the deleted data off a non-encrypted/scrubbed hard drive with special software.
The way it does this is it reads the 1's and 0's of the files themselves, and through a lot of figuring out, can tell what that file is and what it belongs too.
So what you will have to do is this:
Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
or if you don't have the skills, then take it to a local PC/Mac tech and they can do a direct image of the drive and then you can run Data Rescue on it to rebuild your files. -
Total Qty and Valuation is "0" for Items w/out Movement for the Prev Period
Hi MM Experts,
We encounter error message "Valuated stock becomes negative"when we try to post a goods issuance against a production order with posting date Jan 31, 2011 (our current period is Feb 2011). I checked the materials' stocks and there are enough stock for the issuance. I checked the material valuation in the material master and I found out that the Total Stock Qty and Total Stock Valuation for period 01 2011 is both "0". The Total Stock Qty and Valuation for periods Dec 2010 and Feb 2011 however have the same value. I also checked the stock movements from December to Feb and I found out that there were no movements for January (which means the quantity and value should be the same as end of Dec). I tried simulating the posting of goods issuance using Feb as the posting date and the system did not issue any error message.
Have anyone encountered the same issue? Is this standard to the system? We need to post the issuance using posting date Jan 31 and we would really appreciate any inputs/ help.
Thanks and regards,
SheHi Raj,
We have made the balance as Zero Now.
The point here earlier ie when the Account was not having Open item status, system has calculated Foreign currency valuation based on currency and not on Line Item.
Where as now it is calculating based on line item(which is Open item).
The point is expectation is system to calcuatate forex valuation for future items ie items posted after Open item activation , where as currenty When the account is Zero system is calculating Forex difference.
regards

I can't watch movies , asking for adobe flash. After installing the latest adobe flash still doesn't show movies.
The other day, there was someone here who figured after quite a while that he had plug-ins disabled in Safari. He could have installed Flash a hundred times but never get it to work.
Of course, you do have plug-ins enabled. Yes? Quick double-check? Safari -> Preferences -> Security tab -> checkmark at "Enable plug-ins"... -
I'd like to move an on-premesis SQL Server Database to SQL Azure. I've used SQL Mgmt Studio to Extract Data Tier Application and save my db as a dacpac file. Now I'm connected to my Azure server and I've chosen to Deploy Data Tier Application. I select my
dacpac and the deploy starts but then on the last step "Registering metadata for database" it times out. I've tried it a couple of times and each time the deployed database is there and appears to be fully populated, but I'm not sure if I can ignore
that error and continue. What is supposed to happen in that step, and should I expect it to fail when deploying to SQL Azure?
I'm following the steps here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh694043.aspx in the Using Migration Tools > Data-tier Application DAC Package section, except that to deploy there's no SQL Mgmt Studio > Object Explorer [server]
> Management >"Data Tier Applications" node, so I'm deploying by right-clicking on the server name and choosing "Deploy Data-tier Application".
My (total) guess here is that it's deployed the database fine and it's doing whatever magic happens when you register a data tier application, except that it's not working for SQL Azure.
I'm running against a server created for the new Azure service tiers, not against a Web/Business edition server.
The full details of error I get are below.
thanks,
Rory

OKHello,
The registration process creates a DAC definition that defines the objects in the database, and register the DAC definition in the master system database in Windows Azure SQL Database.
Based on the error message, there is timeout error when connect to SQL Database. Did you deploy a large database? When move large data to Azure SQL Database, it is recommended to use SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) and BCP utility.
Or you can try to create a client application with the Data-Tier Application Framework (DACFx) client tool to import database and handle connection loss it by re-establish the connection.

I have consolidate my folders related to the video I am in the progress of working on. Premiere elements does not follow their new location. How do I syn them back up all at once so premiere doesn't ask me for their location when I open the project
This is the Photoshop Elements forum, not the Premiere Elements forum, located here:
https://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere_elements
When you open the project, it should ask you where the first file is located. After you tell it where it is, it should be able to find the rest of them if they are located near the first one. Then save the file. If you move the files again, you will have to relink them again. -
I got my cousin's old I-Pod as a gift, but when I hook up the I-Pod to my computer using the USB so I can put music on it, it doesn't register as being plugged in. What should I do? I also cannot figure out how to change who's I-Pod it is. Can anyone help me out?
- I would try resetting the iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
and then try restoring it. This probably will not work but is worth a try.
- Next I would disconnect the iPod from the computer and let the battery fully drain. When drained, charge it for at least an hour then:
-- Try resetting it as above and see if iTunes will see the iPod. If it does, then restore the iPod.
-- If not in iTunes try placing the iPod in recovery mode to see if that make the iPod visible in iTunes. If it does then restore via iTunes
-- Last, place in DFU mode to see if that makes the iPod visible. If it does then restore via iTunes. -
Premiere Pro CC periodically causes Mac to freeze for 1-2 minutes
I'm working in Premiere Pro CC on OSX 10.8.4 and every once in a while my entire Mac will freeze/stall/hang for 1-2 minutes. During the freeze, the mouse cursor dissapears and the keyboard doesn't work. Once the freeze is done, everything resumes and works like normal.
Things that seem to trigger this event are adjusting effects sliders on layers that have transparency, alpha channels, or low opacity. I mostly work with Quicktime MOV files that have alpha channels and use fonts with an opacity set to 78%.
One time this even happened after I did an export media, and the preview window on the export media panel was stuck at "Rendering Preview".
I'm using one of those newer iMac machines and it has an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB video card. In the project settings, my video rendering and playback is set to "Mercury Playback Engine GPU Accelleration (OpenCL)". I will next try setting it to CUDA to see what happens.
-PeteHi,
I just watched a video podcast for about 30 min - suddenly the video froze, audio went on for a couple of seconds - then the fireball came up for 1 min. Then the video started again for 10 sec and froze again.
Any idea what could be wrong here?
Thanks,

Need latest protocol for preparing movie for web in X
Hello. The basic problem is slow start on You Tube. My general question concerns preparing a movie for the web; not restricted to You Tube.
In FCP 7, it was export using QT conversion, to Quick Time Movie using broadband Med or most recent settings, choose H264, choose custom size 16:9 HD 1280 x 720p, prepare head for internet streaming by choosing quick start ,
adjust settings, and save. Then, Open .mov (usually 1 G for 3 minutes) in QT, choose export to web, transcode, and send 50-100 Mb M4V or sometimes MP4 to Host. No problem.
When I open an .mov prepared in X, the QT Player no longer allows the same options as it did when processing 7 movies. Am I missing something? I click export to web with the new system and it just starts in coding.
I appreciate the automatic features of X, but am having problems with both stutter start and a few more upload problems that I see as temporary.
Thx. www.youtube.com/user/edwardshaw1
Any suggestions most grateful for.
EdCheck your Applications > Utilities folder. That's where the OSX Installer moved Quicktime 7 (also known as Quicktime Player) when Quicktime X became the standard player. Your pro license should still be activated. If you don't find it there and you have a Snow Leopard (or earlier) installer disk, you can find QT7 in the Extras folder. Make sure you do NOT overwrite Quicktime X when you move or install QT7 (both are originally named "Quicktime Player" - but you can rename the older Quicktime Player to "Quicktime Player 7" before moving it into your Applications folder.)
The problem with MPEG Streamclip and other "third party" conversion software (like ClipWrap and Smart Converter) is they use FFMPEG open source x.264 codecs. Apple's H.264 codec is superior (arguably, marginally better... but better.)
YouTube will "respect" your upload if it's already done well (to their specifications.) Otherwise, their software will recompress it.
In QT7Pro, you settings should be:
Compression type: H.264
Frame Rate 30 (or 29.97) fps (29.97 is the "true" 30...) [Even if your project is 720/60p - YT wants 30]
Keyframes: Automatic
Frame Reordering : OFF!
Data Rate: (I'll get back to this)
Optimized for: Streaming (only allowed with Best Quality encoding setting)
Quality: (if you specify a data rate, you only can use "High" -- and you *should* specify a data rate)
Encoding: Best Quality (Multi-pass)
Audio:
Format: AAC
Channels: Stereo (don't think it matters)
Rate: 44.1KHz
[show advanced settings]
Render settings (doesn't matter - normal is fine)
MPEG-4 AAC Encoder Settings:
I use Variable bit rate ; Sound Quality at 128 - 160kbps (about 2/3's to Best on the slider)
(you can use a constant bit rate - i think YT allows up to about 192kbps, but I don't "push it")
If you fall within these parameters, YT is not likely to futz with your vid, you'll get what you put up.
Now, for the Data Rates:
For 1080/30p (29.97p) I've found that 4Mbits/sec is adequate for most video (most of mine are tutorials). If you have sections of your video that have something like trees blowing in the wind shot against a bright blue sky -- you will definitely need a much higher data rate (check your transitions too, they can be subject to some nasty blocking/artifacting when highly compressed). To figure out how much, take a 5 second clip* of the highest action and transcode it at - start at 12.5Mbits/sec (or 12,500 kbits/sec) - and see if you notice any "blocking" - if you do, crank up the data rate another 500-1000kbits/sec (or more if it's pretty bad). If you don't — try optimizing your compression by reducing the data rate until blocking appears. You shouldn't need to exceed 18Mbits/sec... Upload your 5 sec clip to youtube and see if it works out okay. If so, just delete it. Transcode your video to those specs and upload to youtube. Remember your settings - they'll serve you well.
For 720 video, 3200kbits/sec is a good starting point. 480 - 1500 kbits/sec. and so on...
Bandwidth (aka data rate) is **key** to good video. The more compressed your video is, the more YT likes it. The more YT likes your video, the more likely they'll leave it alone and just pass it straight through. (I have seen them pass through data rates up to 18Mbits/sec. Just follow their rules.)
[*In Quicktime 7 Pro, you can set an in and out point anywhere in your video by typing 'i' for the in point and 'o' for the out. Copy (Command-C) the selection. Command N to create a new player and paste - and you have your 5 (or whatever) second clip.] -
Lion mail doesn't allow shortcuts for bold and italics.
Hi,
I've come across this problem in which Lion mail doesn't allow shortcuts for bold and italics. I try pressing the short cut for Command + B or Command + I
but it does not affect the text at all. I have to move my cursor to the Bold or Italic icon to change a particular word's form.
Of note, Command + U allows me to underline a word just fine. I also write my mail in the default Helvetica, and in size 12.
Anyone know of a solution? I'm pretty sure it's just a glitch, but it's become a great annoyance for me.

How to fix spotlight doesn't search movies,places or bing web search?
spotlight doesn't search movies or anything bing web search, it only search file on my mac in yosemite. How can i fix this???
Hello arnoota,
for me Spotlight's content search works for docx, too. Are the info in your signature correct? If so you should install the 10.5.4 update of Leopard! At least for 10.5.3 some changes concerning Spotlight are documented by Apple, so probably this issue got fixed as well with one of these two updates.
