Two problems w/window switching

Hi,
1) How do I get the stage involved in identifying which
window is actifve? As I switch between the stage and other windows,
the name of the activeWindow remains "stage"; the name of the
frontWindow shows changes properly, but not when I switch to the
stage. It just stays the name of previous MIAW.
2) If I click an editable field in the stage (make its sprite
the keyboardFocusSprite), go to another window, then return to the
stage, all text in the previously clicked field becomes selected.
I'm quite sure none of my code is causing this, but I suppose not
100%. Anybody know of a Lingo quirk that might cause this?
Thanks,
Bruce

I managed a workaround by using "tell the stage" commands in
"on activateWindow" handlers in the MIAWs. Still don't know why
these things were happening, though.

Two problems: hiding key-switch notes and messages to effect-plugins

Hello,
first please apologize my bad (school-) English, which I haven‘t much practiced sind I left school more than 30 yeras ago.
I have got two problems, and I should be grateful, if somebody could give me a hint.
1. I am using sample libraries, which I load in a sampler (Kontakt 2 of Native Instruments) in the instrument slot of Logic. These libraries work with key switches to choose between various articulations of an instrument. Unfortunately these key switching notes appear in the outprints (although the note, good so, does not sound – and isn‘t intended to sound).
Do you know a possibility to set a key switch and let the note hide in the outprint?
(I have also sent a fearture request to apple: creating an additional note line to an instrument, reserved for key switching commands.)
2. I am using Guitar Rig 2 as an effect-plugin in Logic. Guitar Rig is (regarding my puspose) organised in banks which contain various presets (settings of amplifiers, boxes, micros, effects and so on).
Is there in Logic a possibilities to send to effect-plugins commands which choose firstly a bank and secondly a preset in a bank of an effect-plugin in effect-slot?
Thank you for your answer in advance.
Yours sincerely Norbert

One method:
Let's say you have a flute sound from Kontakt 2...
1. Create a duplicate track for the Kontakt flute instrument in the Arrange window, just below the original track
2. Open your flute region in score or matrix, select the keyswitch notes and CUT them. Then exit the editor
3. Click on the duplicate track in the Arrange window and then use "paste at original position", (not regular CMD-V paste). Now your keyswitch notes are placed on the duplicate track in the exact location they were originally recorded at.
(Note: if this doesn't seem to paste anything (sometimes it happens), hit Undo. Then use the pencil tool to draw a blank region on your duplicate track. With that new region selected, use "paste at original position again" and it will work.)
4. With the new region selected, choose Options > Extended Parameters... a floating window will appear. Look for "Score:" at the bottom of the window. Click to the right of "Score:" so that it now says "Score: Off" for that region. This function works per region. Your keyswitches will still play but they won't be shown in the score. You can even hide this track if you want.
5. Repeat this process for all of your tracks with keyswitch notes in them.

Safari problem: when I switch back into safari from another application, the menu bar comes up but no tabs or windows. What's going on? Just started yesterday. I have found a workaround: when I Command Tab back to safari, I hit command T to open a new tab and Command W to close it, and my other tabs are visible.
I have tried shutting down, closing tabs, with no success. What's going on and how can I fix it?
Thanks,

PS: I'm not sure of the actual OS level, but I have not allowed it to upgrade to Maverick yet; concerned about it because of a few things I've read...

A Safari extension or third party plugin may be causing the menu bar issue.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
As for which OS X is installed.
Click the Apple () menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
The version is noted there.
v10.6 Snow Leopard v10.7 Lion v10.8 Mountain Lion
It's your choice whether or not to upgrade to Mavericks. If you decide to do this, make sure your Mac meets the requirements noted here.

We use Adobe Creative Suite 4 Master Collection. Are there problems if we switch over to Windows 8?

CS 4 is not supported under Windows 8. There are bound to be problems with several programs. You will have more problems with 64-bit Windows 8 than the 32-bit version. I know for certain that you will have issues with Acrobat.

Problem with window.close and window.open

I am having two suspected Actionscript problems which only seem to be happening with Flash player 9 and later.
BACKGROUND:
I have a client who needs browser-launched swf files to play from a CD-ROM (I do not want to use the Flash projector). These files were created a few years ago using Actionscript 1 & 2 code and everything has worked perfectly until now.
Here is the setup:
First, an autorun file on the root of the CD runs and writes a 'trust file' to the 'Macromed' directory. The autorun next launches 'index.htm' which is simply an html page containing a series of links (topic1.htm; topic2.htm; and so on). Next, let's assume the student clicks the 'topic1.htm' link from the 'index.htm' page. The 'topic1.htm' link launches a web page (also located on the CD) which contains and displays 'topic1.swf'. So far, everything works fine.
Here is where the two problems happen.
Problem 1:
I have an 'Exit' button within each swf (remember each swf is contained inside an html page). The 'Exit' button has always worked properly, but suddenly does not work in Flash player 9. I am using the following Actionscript 2 code on the 'Exit' button:
on (release) {
getURL("javascript:window.close()");
The 'Exit' button has always worked using this code (and still works in Flash player 8 and lower). However, it does nothing when played using Flash player 9.
Problem 2:
There are links to html popup windows within the 'topic1.swf' file (remember 'topic1.swf' is contained inside 'topic1.htm'). Each popup window contains a swf file that is used to present a demonstration. When the student clicks the 'demo1.htm' link from 'topic1.swf', an html popup window SHOULD load and display 'demo1.swf' inside the 'demo1.htm' window. The main ('topic1.htm') window stays open so that the student can return to the topic after completing the demo. This has always worked properly until Flash player 9. Here is the Actionscript 2 code
which I am using on the button inside 'topic1.swf' to launch 'demo1.htm':
on (release) {
getURL("javascript:launchWin2('webpage2.html');");
ADDITIONAL INFO:
'topic1.htm' contains the following code which is used to support the Actionscript code listed under 'Problem 2' above.
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript>

</SCRIPT>
I would appreciate any help anyone can offer. I am wondering if the problem has to do with a need to use ONLY Actionscript 3 code from Flash player 9 onwards.
Thanks!
Terry

Hardware Color Cursor Problem in Windows 8.1

I have 2 issues related to the cursor on Win8.1 with 2 display adapters. It seems Windows 8.x problem.
Issue #1, Primary display adapter is using hardware color cursor and secondary adapter is software cursor. It will have cursor left over on the secondary screen when the cursor is moving from
secondary screen to primary screen.
Issue #2, Primary display adapter is using hardware color cursor and secondary adapter is software cursor. There will be 2 cursors on the left upper corner of the primary display screen when
dragging the cursor around the upper left corner of the primary display screen.
So the problem seems caused by 2nd display adapter doesn't support hardware color cursor then will create these two problems.
If I switched to software cursor in the Control panel, then there will not have these problems. Also if both use hardware cursor, then there is no problem.
Can anyone help to confirm if this is the Windows 8.x bug or not?
Thank you very much.
Regards,
Francis

Hi Francis Fung,
When checking in Mouse Properties, I couldn't find any settings that would allow me to change to software cursor under any tabs like Buttons, Pointers, Pointer Options, Wheel and Hardware(reference)
Some specific mouse would have its own functions, make sure that we follow the instructions to configure the settings, for the two adapter issue, please also consider seek help at the manufacturer side and see if any further help would be offerred there.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best regards

Problems with SRW224G4 switch and Bridged Network Cards

Hello,
We have recently installed a SRW224G4 switch and have discovered that when we plug our DELL PowerEdge 2900 server into the switch, the switch loses all network connectivity and all of the LED's on the switch start flashing.
The server works perfectly well plugged into another switch, but as soon as we introduce the SRW224G4 into the network, either with the server plugged into that switch or any other, the problem re-occurs.
The only way we found we could eliminate this issue was if we disabled the Bridged Network connection on the two network cards on the server. If we do that, everything is fine, except the network performance of the server has dropped significantly.
The server is plugged into the 1GB ports on the switch, although we tried it on the 100MB ports and received the same problems. The switch reports that the ports are running at full-duplex.
Has anyone noticed this behavior before, and more importantly been able to rectify it.
Thanks in advance for your assistance,
Paul

I had this problem as well with any Linksys 2024 or rackmountable switch.. The trick is, you need to use the network cards management software to "team" or bridged the 2 NIC's otherwise the switch detects a loop and the whole thing locks up. So lame... Windows built in bridge mode stinks dont use it. When you use the Intel management software or Dell or HP's NIc management software you have the option to actually choose "redundant mode" where you can pick a Nic to be the primary, or you can choose Load Balancing where you can essentially double your throughput by joining the 2 nics.
In Windows 2008 Server, you actually do this by going to the Properties on the NIC in Device Manger. the software controls are now built right into the driver. pretty neat. 2003 you can check Device Manager the same way but not sure if it's the same as 2008, you might need to run the actual NIC management app.
Hope this helps

JDev9.0.3.1038: Two problems...

Hi.
I resentlly upgraded JDev9.0.3 preview with JDev9.0.3 Production Release. Well, this is not quite true. I resentlly installed Oracle Developer Suite 9.0.2, replaced JDev9.0.2 with JDev9.0.3Preview and replaced again with JDev9.0.3 Production Release. Right off I discovered two problems:
Firstly (Minor problem): Deployment of projects to simple jars. The deployer does it's job nicelly, but gets this exception:

Second: My SCM Client jar (which worked somewhat nicelly +/-) will no longer run. It's a self developet scm client using your oracle.ide.scm API. And it's not just the client which will not run, JDev as a whole freezes during initialization. The red progress bar goes all the way up to the second to last dot, and then takes a vacation.

Am I doing something wrong?
Please reply to : mailto:[email protected]

Hi,
For the first problem: can you post the manifest file you're including in your JAR file? It looks like something isn't groking it properly.I have two manifest files inside the jar since you switched from a properties file type in 9.0.2 to an xml style manifest file in 9.0.3. I've included them both below:
AddinCount: 1
Addin0: novus.scm.vss.VSSClient
and
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'windows-1252'?>
<extensions>
<feature>
<group name="Visual SourceSafe">
<extension>
<addin>novus.scm.vss.VSSClient</addin>
<dependency_addin>oracle.ideimpl.scm.VersionManager</dependency_addin>
</extension>
</group>
</feature>
</extensions>
For the second problem: there's no obvious reason in the WizardDefNodeRecognizer.java code why it's waiting on the AWT event thread as indicated in the stack dump you provided: this is kind of weird. If you disable BC4J (via the tools->preferences->extension manager), does the problem go away, or does it freeze at another point during startup? I'm not sure how else to investigate this without the .jar file to test.This actually solves the problem. The plugin loads and runs like a charm.
Another suggestion, which might work around the problem at least, is to defer initializing your SCM client's log page to the prepareClient() method. In fact, we (the SCM team) recommend doing this anyway (this is what we do in CVS, Clearcase and Oracle SCM), since this will prevent your client doing unnecessary initialization until the user actually activates your SCM system.I will try this. You should add this information into the javadoc, so that other developers can follow the standard you've set.
Thanks,

JDev Team (SCM) Thanx

Mic problem of windows 7 on a MacBookPro and wireless problem with macosx

recently, I installed windows 7 on my MacbookPro, it is MBP985(which has a sound card from Cirrus Logic).
everything works well but two things:
1)the first is about the microphone. The mic works, it even can be used with "windows speech recognition" which is complex use of the mic.I also can use the sound recorder and playback the sound.
but I just cant use the mic for skype or OICQ(a popular instant messenger in china), i dont know why but i'm sure this can be fix in some proper ways.
before that ,i try a lot, but just cant get it work.
i need some help!
2)it is about the wireless (or wifi issues). I can access the network easily both macosx and win7 wiht my home wireless router, but with the macosx, it drops frequently, diagnostication always ask me to restart the router. I living in a house with 7 bedroom, that means i'm not the only one use the netwrok, so i cant restart the router so many times. So i'm dispported by macosx a little bit in this case(windows never give me this problem to me).i just dont know how to fix it.

another problem, when in college, it is another situation.
my college is Sheffield Hallam University. SHU provide wifi in various of area. \
Macosx can easily access the net but the windows not, so i'm so confused by these situation.
Fortunately,I'm lucky have two different lastest OS on my macbookpro, if one of them have some problem i can switch ot another quickly.
But I definitely need some help with those things, if some can give me some advice i do appreciate it!

Slow window switching after Yosemite install.

Macbook Pro Retina 15" (2012)
Having a problem since Yosemite with window switching, using CMD-W to switch windows. The switching works, but it's extremely slow. It's to the point where sometimes I can see a frame of the window come in and then the controls are drawn. Sad that this machine was so fast with Mavericks.
Weird thing I noticed is it's only when I'm unplugged from my two monitors. When I'm using the MBP as an actual laptop, it's extremely slow. (Plugged in or battery, both) But when I am plugged in to my two monitors (24 inch and 23 inch) I don't have the problem, switching windows is back to normal.
I researched and can't find anything that would cause this.
I only notice one thing weird is discoveryd is always running and at around 15 - 20+ % all the time. I can't see how that would do it, but I'm at a loss.
Thanks

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
     computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
     screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Graphic problem in Windows with Boot Camp?

I only just noticed this today when I was editing some pictures in Photoshop using Windows (Boot Camp). My version is Windows 8 64-bit and the Photoshop is CS 6 but I suspect the same thing would happen even if I were using Windows 7.
Whenever I view an image in Firefox, Chrome, Windows Picture Viewer or any other program besides Photoshop, the image is always displayed as it is and appears as crisp and sharp as it should. For example, if I load a picture that's 600x600 pixels outside of Photoshop, it would look exactly like it is - at 600x600.
But once I open it in Photoshop, and if it happens to be a very big picture (which it is for me, most of the time), the picture would look resized (i.e. smaller), but the Photoshop navigator would still say it's displayed at 100% magnification. So a 2000x2000 picture would basically look half its real size but still be at a zoom setting of 100% according to Photoshop.
That in itself isn't the problem, but trying to edit/crop the image is. If I were to select a part of the picture and resize it to, say, 100x100 pixels, the final image would be a bit blurry, even if I save it at "most high" quality. That obviously makes my image "un-usable" because the quality is so terrible. This doesn't happen at all on a computer without retina display but on mine it makes the task of editing images in Photoshop frustrating and pointless.
I really think it's an issue with retina display's native resolution not being supported in any version of Windows, so I'm hoping anyone who uses a Macbook Pro RD, Windows AND Photoshop could help me get around this problem.

The Windows 8 installer does not contain the correct graphics driver for your computer. You'll need to attach the USB media that contains the Boot Camp drivers during installation to address this issue. See this article for more information.

NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory and automatic graphics switching
Dual display and video mirroring: Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on up to two external displays, at millions of colors
Also, Intel 4000 graphic driver, switching between Intel HD and Nvidia has been a problem.
From my (now old) notes:
I had problems with windows 7 after the installation using boot camp. The GT 650M was not showing up as the graphics adapter. I fixed the problem by inserting my windows support software CD a second time. I did not let it use auto run. I went into the Windows 7 directory and then into the Nvidia directory and ran setup.exe. This installed the Nvidia drivers for me. If this works correctly, you will have an Nvidia control panel available to you. I set the resolution to 2880x1800. I also set windows to 200% magnification.
I think what happens is that after you install windows, and then run the windows support CD, the main boot camp setup script seems to stop on the nvidia driver install--everything else installed correctly.

I am experiencing two problems with iTunes on my iPhone 5s.

I am experiencing two problems with iTunes on my iPhone 5s.
Issue 1: iTunes Match
Some song playback is merging songs. I select “Song A” to be played and midway through the song it begins playing “Song B” however when I look at my phone it indicates that “Song A” is still playing even though the actual music is not “Song A”. I searched the Apple Support Community as well as the internet and this seems to be an ongoing issue back to 2012 that has not been resolved. All of the “fixes” that are provided do not work. For example, update/sync iTunes Match, delete the song from your iPhone and re-download from the cloud or delete the song from your iTunes including the iCloud and re-download. None of which worked. I even tried to complete erase the song from my computer hard drive and restarted my computer and then re-downloaded the song and it was still not working.
Issue 2: iTunes Preview Track
I am unable to preview any music on iTunes through the iTunes app on my phone. I have signed out of my user ID and restarted my phone and then logged back in and it did not fix the problem. My iTunes Match and iTunes radio are allowing me to play music. My software is up-to-date.

Same problem here, Im running the latest version of iOS 7 on my iphone 5S (ipod 5S) bricked lol. It was working fine and then a mates baby grabbed my phone and dropped it (not very high) then it went off so i turned it on and BAM i got the grey backround with the apple logo on it so, I waited, Then it went to BSOD and got stuck in that loop, I then done a manual reset I was able to turn it off thats all. I tried restore in recovery mode with the latest itunes it come up with Unknown Error, error code (14) (something to do with unreconizable USB) tried many diffrent USB ports but sadly nothing, I then tried DFU mode with itunes still not working. Im really stuck on this one I need some assitance PLEASE! HELP!
No aftermarket apps on iphone 5s
Latest iOS 7 on iphone 5s

[Solved] Alt-Tab window switching no longer working after update (JWM)

The next issue I am trying to straighten out after a recent, long-overdue pacman -Syu, is the loss of window-switching functionality using the alt-tab key combination. This is under the JWM window manager, by the way. The alt key seems to work as expected when, for example, firefox has focus: if I hit alt left arrow, the browser goes back to the preceding page. But if I hit alt and tab together, say, in the browser or when a terminal has focus, it seems to be read as though I were pressing only the tab key. So, with two windows maximized on the desktop, the alt-tab combination does not toggle between them. If the terminal has focus I can see the cursor jumping over a tab space each time I press the key combination.
Can anyone offers pointers on how I might resolve or begin diagnosing this issue? I should mention that another change I did in the wake of the update was to make the system log me in and start the GUI each time I boot the machine (as discussed at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/St … h_profile). I'm not sure why that would have any effect but I thought I should mention it. I think this is just a pretty standard pc105 keyboard by the way.
Input will be appreciated.
Thanks,
James

Thank you for your input, anonymous_user. I decided, on reading it, to compare my .jwmrc with the /etc/system.jwmrc file. I noted that, in my .jwmrc, the keybindings section was empty, while that section in the /etc/system.jwmrc had several entries--and even one that seemed to refer to the alt-tab key combination. So I copied that section into my .jwmrc, restarted JWM, and the key combination now seems to be working as it should. Granted, it's a bit strange in that it doesn't open some kind of dialog box with the names of open windows, showing you in list form the windows you're scrolling through. But it does take you to other open windows when, after you've hit the tab key one or more times, you release the alt key. So the issue is resolved and was pretty simple.

Itunes problem with windows Vista

ok i bought my touchsmart tx2 1025 with windows vista ultimate 64 bit and well i ve noticed that ..well since this is my third time i exchange this computer and i noticed there was a problem with the speakers when i was playing music that anytime during a song i would get this distorted sound like when u put a lot of volume in ipod headphones that it sounds like a crack. Well that happened in my computer even with low volumes.
However I played two times the same song on itunes and two times on windows media player.
Every single time on itunes the sound came as if the speakers were about to blow... like a crack..
Every single time on Windows media player it never sounded like that.
So i am pretty sure its an itunes problem. Does anyone know how to fix this.. i would rather use itunes than windows media player but i really hate the sound it makes sometimes because it shows about 2 to 3 times during one song.

It's possible that the song your playing does indeed have a little audio distortion in it, some media players are capable of filtering it out in a silent way, others play a beep, hence with one song I have, if i play it in windows media player it goes on and then for a split second theres a beep, iTunes doesent seem to do it, so instead of filtering out the missing data, it plays it.
This is more likley a problem with the song than iTunes

RoboHelp Problems with Windows Vista?

A client has asked me if there are any known problems running
RoboHelp Office Pro versions 5 or 6 under Windows Vista? And are
there any problems viewing CHM Help or WebHelp under Windows
Vista?

I have been using Robohelp X5 with Vista for a couple of
months. It's been fine, except for two problems:
1) I can no longer generate printed doc--I get an error
message. I transfer the entire project to another PC with XP to do
that.
2) If I try to launch Robohelp by clicking the desktop icon,
it usually stalls or takes a very long time to open. If I click on
the .xpj project file I want, it opens right up.
