Typing doesn't keep up with me

I couldn't find this particular problem in a search of this forum, so I thought I'd post it: many times (but not always) typing in Mail is extremely slow. I can type a couple of characters, then the program just hangs for a few moments, then catches up to my typing. Mail is the only application in which this occurs. Anyone have an idea what to do about this, short of waiting for Leopard to fix it?
-Dennis

I've been searching this forum and the web for awhile looking for a fix. I have a fairly new computer and probably only about 2 housand of messages.
When I type, I have to wait on Mail to catch up to me which which is very frustrating! I finally found the answer here:

You have to be comfortable with Terminal though (or at least willing to take the risk) of trying something new.

Ipod audio doesn't keep up with video! help!

ok. ive got a 60 gig. ipod with a imtoo file converter. almost every time i convert, the file's audio doesn't keep up with the video. for example, at the end of the movie, the audio keeps playing! help plz.

"I think the best one to use is called videora."
Maybe you should first visit "Videora's" Website and read the Bug list...Things that are not correct":
Known Bugs
Audio/Video sync
Problem - Output files can be out-of-sync. While no set pattern has been established, it seems to be more frequent with input files of 23.976 fps, non-DVD rips, and WMV/MPG filetypes.
Workaround solutions - Try the custom option '-async 1'. If the disconnect gradually increases over time, setting 29.97 fps sometimes gets rid of the problem regardless of the input fps. You can also use AviSynth to assume the FPS and have the audio sync to that. If it's a sudden disconnect, check your VOB Cell settings in DVD Decrypter settings per this thread. Otherwise, test with an AviSynth script per the DaProphecy's method in the FAQ. For non-DVD files, PSPVideo 9 may be a good short-term solution until the converter stabilizes some more or try something like AviDemux.
Audio track not getting picked up
Problem - The IFO stream rip is fine, but the converted file has no sound. The debug info showed to audio track getting picked up. The most obvious case with this is the Madagascar DVD.
Workaround solution ideas - Test with an AviSynth script per the DaProphecy's method in the FAQ (untested). Use a different DVD ripper.

TS2034 video doesn't keep up with sound

I have downloaded videos from my i phone onto my i mac. The sound is coming through good, but the video itself is choppy and doesn't keep up with the sound.. Any ideas?

Your issue is similar to mine. I posted it differently however. I noticed that timeline scrubbing behaves the same as yours when audio scrubbing is enabled.
As a test turn off the audio scrubbing feature under the audio tab in preferences. If you experiencing the same problem as mine then the timeline will respond very quickly displaying everyframe. As long as you dont need to hear the audio when scrubbing that would solve your present dilemma.
I also found that there seems to be a bottleneck using an external media drive. I copied a file that was performing slow to my internal SATA system drive, put it on the timeline and it scrubs perfectly even with audio scrubbing enabled.
This same external drive performed fine on a slower PC with Premiere Pro 2.0. I am about to add an internal 1 terabyte SATA drive as my media drive. If I am correct this will resolve my problem.
By the way, I am using a 7200 RPM external drive with a firewire connection. If you are using a USB 2 cable your bottleneck would probably be greater. I'll leave an update if the new internal drive does the trick.

Video doesn't keep up with scrubber

I've just moved from PPro 1.5 to PPro CS4. I installed CS4 on a new Gateway Laptop with 4Gigs RAM and P8400 Intel CPU on Vista 64-bit.
As I move the scrubber across the timeline or in the Project Source window, the video isn't able to keep up with the scrubber. As I move the scrubber the video tends to freeze for a few seconds and then will suddenly jump forward to the point of my scrubber. It does this consistently.
I'm currently editing sports videos to isolate highlights of one specific athlete. I'd like to pull the scrubber across fairly quickly as I look for the athlete, but it's almost impossible. I'm basically having to let the video run in realtime and stopping it when I need to. Since I have hours and hours of video to go through this is not good.
I wasn't having this problem on my old HP Media Station with Pentium D with 512 Megs RAM. I would encounter this to some degree but not nearly as severe as what I'm experiencing now. I moved my 5 external hard drives from my old PC to my new Laptop. They are connected via a USB 2.0 hub. They were connected to my old PC via USB 1.x ports or a 1.x hub.
As a test, I did play a couple of the captured AVI clips outside of PPro CS4 in Windows Media Player and Media Player Classic. They tend to be choppy there, too. I ran the Vista disk defrag utility on one of my external drives last night - it took about 9 hours - but it doesn't seem to have helped.
Does anyone that understands this better than me have any suggestions on how I can fix or minimize this problem?
Thanks,
Dan

Vaio tap 11 doesn't keep up with clock

the lastest of my problems with this tap model number svt11226cxb is after wake up from sleep the system time is always behind of minutes or even hours, i checked the bios and shows the same time, if its the cmos battery that needs replacement im screwed, how do i change it in such a compact device??

Hi ewhorf,
If you're having issue with the system time, it is possible that you need to replace the RTC battery or CMOS battery. Yes, your unit should have the RTC battery.
Kindly try to reset BIOS first and check if this will resolve the issue. Just follow the steps here: https://us.en.kb.sony.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/44078/c/65,66/kw/BIOS
Since this unit is a compact device what we advise is to visit Sony's Authorized Service Center for further assistance. I'll send you a private message regarding this matter.
Thanks,
Vincent

Bug, 4.1- Filmstrip doesn't keep up with current image

I have the filmstrip set to auto hide/show. As I browse through my library, I'll pick an image to work on in Develop. I may then want to work on an adjacent image. Instead of going back to the library to select it, I want to hover over the film strip and select the image that is 1 or 2 away from the current one.
Fail.
When I first hover over the filmstrip, it shows my current location but then quickly slides to a different part of the strip. Usually no where near where I'm working. I haven't been able to determine a pattern. Sometimes it will go to the beginning, sometimes the end. Sometimes to an image I was working on the last time I closed Lightroom (if I am still in that folder).
I need the filmstrip to follow me as I move through a set of images. Otherwise it is useless. I don't remember having this problem in 3.x
Anyone else?
Thanks- Paul

This is weird: I just went back to work and the filmstrip followed me. Grrr... I wish I could find a pattern.

One thing: make sure sorting is by something other than edit time, or edit count... (e.g. capture time, or filename).

Can't Keep up with Typing

Second attempt at this: the forum site keeps intermittently
saying it's unavailable after I "Post Message" ...
In Buzzword, typing backspace (on a line with some text on it
already) followed immediately by typing a non-backspace character
nearly always "drops" (i.e. doesn't "see") the character typed
after the backspace.

What browser are you using, and what version?
What operating system are you running, and do you have all
the latest updates?
What version of Flash are you using?
I tested using IE 6 and Firefox 3.0.1 and have the latest
Flash and found no problems using backspace. Is this something
you've been able to do without problems in the past, and if so what
is new since you last were able to do this?
As for getting the unavailable message after posting,
clearing your cache may resolve that issue when it occurs.

Itunes keeps crashing with Windows 8.1 and doesn't recognize my iphone or ipad to syn. Frustrated!!!

After new Itunes update ... it keeps crashing with Windows 8.1 and doesn't recognize my iphone or ipad to syn. Frustrated!!! I have unninstalled it .. installed it, but nothing happens. I even loaded an earlier itunes version, it worked without crashing, but it still did not recognize iphone or ipad.

Do you get an error message when you try to launch iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

I just instaled firefox 4 on my Acer netbook with Windows Vista Basic. Now the typing is very slow, ie. cannot keep up with my typing speed, which is not fast. Any ideas?

I have an Acer netbook, with 2GB ram and Vista Basic. I installed firefox 4 and now the machine cannot keep up with my typing. The letters are delayed appearing on the screen in all apps, but especially in email, and words just get lost if I type too fast, and I am not a fast typist. Should I remove firefox 4?

Have you tried updating your software? The issue with the keys will either be a software issue or an issue with your hardware, if you're on the newest software try re-installing it. It's very simple to do using the desktop software, if this does not work it seems to be a hardware issue, meaning repair or replacement is needed.
Also, updating/re-installing your software should also resolve any slow/freezing issues and hopefully stop your dialling problem.
Hope this helps

I have just purchased my first iPod touch and I cannot transfer my music from my laptop. The sync button does not appear to work. What have I done wrong? I am a grandma trying to keep up with technology please help.

Connect it to your computer and restore it as a new device. Then chose what music you want to sync with it and do so just like your Touch does.

Calendar on iOS 7. Anyone noticed that when you enter text into the "notes section" of a day, the text disappears behind the keyboard rather than scrolling down to keep pace with text entry ? Looks like an 7 glitch to me ?

Doesn't do that for me. Try resetting the phone

My iTunes doesn't keep track of my listening history anymore. It doesn't update play counts and default "Recently Played" playlist.

My iTunes doesn't keep track of my listening history anymore. It doesn't update play counts and default "Recently Played" playlist. But it still tracking plays from my iPhone and syncing them.
I've tried to repair it with setup file. Nothing's changed.
Can you help me with that?
NOTE: Now I tried disabling the crossfade feature and it worked, started to count again. But I like crossfade, I don't want to keep it off.

I think I got this figured out. The playcount does update, but not how the previous iPod models update their playcount. Instead of immediately updating the playcount right after you finish the song like the older iPod models, iPod Touch keeps the updates in memory. The next time you connect to iTunes it'll sync those playcounts in memory to the actual songs itself, effectively updating the playcount of the songs only after connecting to iTunes. I have set my syncing manually. That's why after connecting to iTunes, my playcounts are updated. BUT it doesn't solve the mystery of my Smart Playlist. Even though in iTunes, the correct songs are listed, in the iPod Touch, it shows the old playlist.
Don't you just hate that? It was working fine before on non-iPod touch models. Now we have to live with this new bug. I just hope when they release software 2.0 it fixes these bugs and that they *give it for free!* People shouldn't be charged on something they should have gotten as a support!

Satellite Pro L20 doesn't work properly with USB Fast Track audio i.f.

Hello!
I have used my Fast Track USB on new Toshiba Satellite L40 and I never had problems with it. I could set low latency and I did few songs with it.
Yesterday I bought another notebook, thinking of home recording studio. It's used Toshiba Satellite Pro L20. It doesn't work properly with my interface. When I listen music on Winamp or do anything on Fruity Loops I hear loud clicks, pops, noises. They introduce samples, or they appear during playback or after a sample is stopped.
I noticed, drivers for Satellite Pro L20 are a problem. Its not supported by Toshiba anymore?! The only drivers for chipset are very old and you can download em only from Toshiba website. The chipset is ATI Xpress 200M. Its drivers are with graphic card. Recently I noticed you can download "ATI Catalyst Legacy Display Driver for Windows XP - Motherboard/IGP Drivers 9.11" and CRACK IT to make it possible to install on mobile unit such as L20. Yep its funny but its impossible to do otherwise!
things I have tried and they still not help:
# drivers replacement, original were released in 2004. I installed recent version.
# driver settings, low latency, high latency
# asio and different settings
# pluging the interface to another usb socket.
# trying what happens when I use battery and when I use adapter
# updated bios
# turned off onboard units such as wifi card, sound card
# checked IRQ list
pops still appear.
my config:
Toshiba Satellite Pro L20
Win XP Home SP3
Celeron M 1,5GHz
896Mb ram
M-Audio Fast Track USB, drivers: 6.0.2
Kind regards

Thanks for answer. I still have L40 but I try to run my homerecording on L20. The L40 is now used by whole my family. It's possible to swap them but there's a problem - L20 has Norway keyboard and I'm the only person at home who doesn't often look down while typing. In Poland, we use standard ms keyboard. I'd buy special stickers, it's about only to make special chars get back to their places.
I installed Windows on this computer end set it to best performance possible.
Since I created this thread, guys from M-Audio support tried to solve my problem - nothing helped. I think potential solutions are exhausted.

Firefox from version 3.6 to 11 beta doesn't work properly with gmail

Gmail doesn't work properly with any version of firefox from 3.6 to 11. I have tried several newer versions of firefox and they ALL DO NOT WORK PROPERLY with GMAIL!!!!!! THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING & ANNOYING!! I can't click on any links or it just keeps saying LOADING when I try to delete a message or even go into the gmail settings.

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

Dreamweaver CS5.5, v11.5, Build 5366 keeps crashing with Mac OS 10.7.5

Dreamweaver CS5.5, v11.5, Build 5366 keeps crashing with Mac OS 10.7.5. This started a few weeks ago. Dreamweaver crashes at random time so I cannot pinpoint one thing that causes it. It just crashed as I was trying to adjust margins in a style sheet. I have tried deleting preferences and reinstalling the software. Both worked for a day or 2 and then the crashes started again. I'm at the point now where I have to save after every change so I don't lose them…but that isn't allowing me to experiment before saving. This is very frustrating. Were there any releases beyond build 5366 or v11.5? When I check for updates, I am told that my software is up to date.
I have no idea what to try next.

When DW starts acting weird, the first thing to try is Deleting Corrupted Cache in DW. Be sure to turn on hidden files & folders in your Mac Finder.

If that doesn't help, try Restore Preferences

If all else fails, use the CC Cleaner Tools below followed by a software re-install.
