Uverse STB streaming "lots of data" to my iMac.  Why?

I am connecting my IMac to the our Uverse gateway via the ethernet port on the STB.  Yes, I know this is not supported by ATT but it works better than wireless and our experiment with using a powerline adaptor messed up video signals.  From time to time, I notice that my Imac is seems to be receiving a large quantity of data from the network these seem to last for 10 minutes or more at 600-700kb/sec.  This does not happen when I am connected to the gateway via WiFi.  What is going on?  I have tried to kill off just about everything that would take data AND turned the apple firewall to on the maximum protection...data stream continues unabated.  I have checked with all home computers turned off (network sharing)... no change.
Any ideas?

Mystery of the data grows... seems to start when i am watching a show in HD and end if I switch to an SD show or channel.

  • Best way to stream lots of data to file and post process it

    Hello,
    I am trying to do something that seems like it should be quite simple but am having some difficulty figuring out how to do it.  I am running a test that has over 100 channels of mixed sensor data.  The test will run for several days or longer at a time and I need to log/stream data at about 4Hz while the test is running.  The data I need to log is a mixture of different data types that include a time stamp, several integer values (both 32 and 64 bit), and a lot of floating point values.  I would like to write the data to file in a very compressed format because the test is scheduled to run for over a year (stopping every few days) and the data files can get quite large.  I currently have a solution that simply bundles all the date into a cluster then writes/streams the cluster to a binary file as the test runs.  This approach works fine but involves some post processing to convert the data into a format, typically a text file, that can be worked with in programs like Excel or DIAdem.   After the files are converted into a text file they are, no surprise, a lot larger than (about 3 times) the original binary file size.
    I am considering several options to improve my current process.  The first option is writing the data directly to a tdms file which would allow me to quicly import the data into DIAdem (or Excel with a plugin) for processing/visualization.   The challenge I am having (note, this is my first experience working with tdms files and I have a lot to learn) is that I can not find a simple way to write/stream all the different data types into one tdms file and keep each scan of data (containing different data types) tied to one time stamp.  Each time I write data to file, I would like the write to contain a time stamp in column 1, integer values in columns 2 through 5, and floating point values in the remaining columns (about 90 of them).  Yes, I know there are no columns in binary files but this is how I would like the data to appear when I import it into DIAdem or Excel.  
    The other option I am considering is just writing a custom data plugin for DIAdem that would allow me to import the binary files that I am currently creating directly into DIAdem.  If someone could provide me with some suggestions as to what option would be the best I would appreciate it.  Or, if there is a better option that I have not mentioned feel free to recommend it.  Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hello,
    Here is a simple example, of course here I only create one value per iteration in the while loop for simplicity. You can also set properties of the file which can be useful, and set up different channels.
    Beside, you can use multiple groups to have more flexibility in data storage. You can think of channels like columns, and groups as sheets in Excel, so you see this way your data when you import the tdms file into Excel.
    I hope it helps, of course there are much more advanced features with TDMS files, read the help docs!

  • Transferring Data From Old iMac to New iMac

    I've tried searching the forums on this topic, and I can't find the exact answer I'm looking for.
    I just got my 20" iMac CoreDuo and I'm trying to transfer Data from my old 17" iMac G4. I've got the two computers hooked up through Firewire and I was running the file transfer from the initial set-up, but it seems to have froze up on me. I have a lot of data, my G4 iMac is pretty much full and it showed about 6 hours of transfer time.
    I guess my question is, how can I keep my new iMac from going to sleep in order to finish the data transfer? If I can't do this, what other ways can I get all my files over to my new computer?
    Thanks in advance...
    17" iMac G4, 20" iMac CoreDuo   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    hey, i just finished transferring files and i have pretty much the same set up. Moved 35GB from imac G4 to the 2GHZ intel mac, via firewire. FYI, upon the initial transfer it states an approx completion time and amount to transfer. The time is FAR from the actual move. Mine stated 2 hours and about 30 minutes I think. The transfer was complete in about 20-25 minutes. So don't go by that.

  • My mac book air (mountain OS X ) mid 2011 consuming a lots of data .....

    My mac book air consuming a lots of data per hour ... Even if am not browsing too it's automatically consuming ...how can I stop it ? It's losing like 1 GB per hour ...kindly help me to recover it ...I am new to mac book air ...thank u

    I think you mean that it's using network bandwidth.
    Any client on a wireless network, including clients you don't know about, could be consuming bandwidth. Networks must be protected with WPA2 security. If yours isn't, change the security setting on the access point. If it's already set that way, change the password. Make it a string of at least 8 random characters, including digits and upper- and lower-case letters. The password is saved in the keychain and you don't have to be able remember it; in fact, you shouldn't be able to remember it.
    You make these changes in AirPort Utility, if the access point is an Apple device, or in a web browser otherwise.
    If the network or the password was insecure, and bandwidth use returns to normal after securing it, you can be pretty sure the problem was caused by intruders.
    But intrusion may not be the issue. Most often BitTorrent, iCloud or some other cloud-data application is involved in cases of mysterious bandwidth use by a Mac. If you use iCloud, uncheck at least Photo Stream and Documents & Data in its preference pane and see whether there's any change. If you use third-party network backup software, disable that. If you use a torrent client, remove it.
    Otherwise, there's no easy way to monitor network usage per process using built-in tools. If you're an advanced user and you want to try, see the manual page for the nettop(1) shell command. It may or may not provide the information you're looking for.
    The third-party products Rubbernet and Little Snitch are supposed to record network usage by processes. I can't vouch for them. Both were available as free trials, the last time I checked. I suggest you uninstall either one when the question has been answered.

    No way around this. Your phone has to be restored using a computer running iTunes. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • Always used 1 main account.  Started using individual user accounts. So how do I use software or applications with a lot of data like Quicken under my own user account?

    I recently upgraded our family's mac to OS X.  I thought this was the perfect time to create and use "user accounts".  We had always used 1 main account.  So how do I use software or applications with a lot of data like Quicken under my own user account?  I wanted to be able to manage my own itunes library, iphone apps, messages.  But I still really need to use the Stuff I have in Quicken essentials.  I don't want to have to restart all my work done in Quicken already.

    I haven't used Quicken in a while, but most applications store your files in your Documents folder. Is that where your Quicken data file is? What you do next depends on how many family members need to get at that data.
    If multiple family members need to use the Quicken data file, try moving it to the Documents folder in the Shared account. That is an account that all accounts can see. It's at the same level as the other accounts. In other words, Shared is one level up from your Home account, or Hard Drive/Users/Shared.
    If you're the only one allowed to see that Quicken data, move the Quicken data file from the old main account to your account, and don't leave a copy behind. You can use the Shared folder as a way station for the transfer since you won't be able to see both accounts' Documents folders at the same time (because you're not allowed to peek into other people's accounts). Or you can use another disk or server for the transfer, as long as you can get to it when logged into either account.

    UPDATE: I had 36 Safari windows open and minimized on the dock from my last session; 20 of those windows failed to open b/c Safari "couldn't find the server"; I just went to the URL bar of all 20 pages and clicked return, and all 20 pages loaded perfectly, without dropping any images or losing formatting.

  • HI, Idid a up grade of my osx mauntain lion and it cancelled all my document, bookmarks and mailboxes it is normal? I have lost a lot of data bacons of it because i did not do the back up of all my files just the back up of my photos. . .what can i do

    HI,
    Since a while I have received from apple the warning for an up grade for my Os x Mountain Lion and finally I decider to do it. . . . and since it was just an up grade I DIDN'T DO A BACK UP of all the content of my book pro because I thought it wasn't necessary . . . .but when I did it . . . . .it cancelled me all my files in documents, most of all my mail boxes in mail and most of my bookmarks in safari.
    I do not understand why; since i did not change my os but just did an up grade of my existing one. . . . . .result I lost a lot of data and I do not know what to do.
    Is this normal that it cancelled data in my documents folders and in others parts of my mac pro ?? ? ? . . . .ad if it is so why don't you write a warning saying that before going through  with a simple up grade  of your OS of your computer everybody should do a back up of everything it has in it ?!?!?!
    Buongiorno,
    Da qualche tempo mi era avvivato l'annuncio da vii di apple che c'era un ap grade per il mil system operative per il mio Os x mountain lion e alls fine ho deciso di faro . . . . .siccome era solo un au grade del systema operativo e non un cambiamento per un Os più recente non ho fat to un back up di tutti il contenuto del mio mac pro . . . .ma dope averlo fat to l'up grade ho realizzato che il procedimento mi aveva cancellato tutti i file contenuti nei midi document, le mailbox che avevo create in mail e i bookmarks che avevo create in safari . . . . . .e forse anche altre cose che non ho ancora visto.
    Ma è normale che questo succeda e se si perchè insiemme all'annuncio di dover fare un'up grade non mettete anche una segnalazione sul fatto che prima di procedere è consigliato  fare un back up di tutti i datti che si ha nel computer ?
    Io adesso mi trovo nella scomoda posizione di aver perso dei dati importanti con perdita di tempo e lavoro.

    What happened isn't normal, but does demonstrate why you need a backup, preferably two.

  • Updating of QM info structures on the basis of inspection lot creation date

    Dear Gurus,
    Our business requirement is as follow:
    Suppose MM has received 10 consignment of a material (Goods receipt) against a material in month of Feb-2008 from a particular vendor.
    Inspection lot statistics in MCXA is updated on the basis of inspection lot generation, which is as per our requirement.
    Suppose this inspection take 2 days for analysis at laboratory.
    Now FI has to make payments for the month of Feb-2008 against this inspection results. They need the value of average quality parameter for the month of Feb-2008. (Average value of all quality parameter for the material of all the inspection lot which are generated in Feb-2008)
    I want that QMIS should update on the basis of Inspection Lot creation date not on the basis of result recording system date.
    I think there should be some configuration settings available for this purpose.
    Please help me out.
    Regards

    Any valuable input are welcome

  • Under my website data (Settings, Safari, Advanced) there are websites using a lot of data which I have never visited before. Several of these listed sites are for tracking internet usage.  Has my phone been compromised? Is there any other explanation?

    I have recently discovered a website called bluecava operating on my iphone 4s, according to my website data log.  I've never been to this site, but according to my data log this site is using a lot of data, along with other sites which I have never visited before. Does anyone know anything about bluecava (I've done my research, but I'm not finding information about individuals using this to track someone), or have any other explanation for seeing un-visited sites on my data log?
    Someone recently mentioned phone "cloning" to me, meaning that my iphone may be accessed remotely.  Any information is greatly appreciated!

    Thanks a ton!  Yeah, I didn't know about any of this until I had reason for legitimate concern.  People should be aware of what's available.  Someone intent on tracking you won't mind paying bluecava to do it for them...
    I'll definitely be updating my browser as well.  However, Lawrence, I did find during my research that bluecava DOES NOT operate based on cookies.  It uses your IP address to consistently track patterns of behavior, even
    within multiple devices of one household, so that deterring the tracking is not as simple as turning off cookies to a site.  (See screenshot below from bluecava.com)
    If you go to the bluecava site's privacy policy, you can actually opt-out, however, blogs have criticized bluecava for not explaining exactly what happens when a user opts-out.  It may be beyond our control...

  • Empty file picked although file have lot of data in file adapter SAP PI

    Hello All,
    We are facing the weired behaviour of SAP PI file adapter channel.
    In without mapping Scenario of 7.31
    At some time whole file is archived properly in archive folder but in SAP PI log we can see the file size 0 bytes.
    And at received side empty file will be sent.
    But in actual there is lot of data in the file.
    The same file triggered next time then it working fine.archived and sent as it is.
    So can anybody help me for this ?what is the issue why sometime file with no data is  picked by PI?
    If file is pick up by PI before it is written completely by third party then is it possible that archived file will have all data as it although processed empty ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Anant

    Hi,
    Thanks for reply.
    I know this is common issue of file picking before completing the process of file writting and also i can use Msec to wait before modification check for avoiding this but
    my question is how the archived folder have the file with all data that sender is sending.
    So is it possible that empty file (before compete writting )is picked up by sap pi and then after completing the picking process it will archive the file that is completely written by third party in source folder.
    In other way file picking & File archiving is separate process means file that is picked is not archived but once pi processed the file then it will again check the source folder and archive and delete the same file.
    Thanks
    Anant

  • Best way to fill a datagird with A LOT of data?

    What's the best way to fill a datagrid with A LOT of data.
    I'm talking about something like 10,000 rows. Can the datagrid
    handle it? No screen is large enough to show 10,000 records..... is
    there a way to load 50, and then when a user scrolls down it loads
    the next 50 etc...?

    Right. It's not recommended that you load 10,000 rows into
    the datagrid at once. Using the data management service with paging
    enabled is a much better solution. See the Configuring the Data
    Management Service chapter in the Flex2 Developer's Guide for more
    info.

  • Shared photo stream wrong / strange date

    When adding photo's to a shared photo stream sometimes strange dates appear.
    The problem happens with scanned negatives. In my libarary I sort all photo's on date, so I have changed the date of all these scanned negatives and applied them to the originals.
    The photo's in my normal libary show the correct date and time, however when I put the photo's in the shared photo stream it all of a sudden changes to a different date...???
    It might well be the scanned date that the negatives were actually scanned, but this orignial date is nowhere to be found in the metadata.
    I have done some testing and it also does not matter what the actual creation, modification, and last opened date of the file is.
    Anybody any idea where this original date is residing in the file, how can I change it, and why is the shared photostream taking this date instead of dates in the aperture library.
    Thanks !!

    The dates can be seen in the List View.
    How ever in the project from where I shared the photo the date is correct:
    These photo's are shot on film, yes good old film (as in the once you had to bring the a specialist to be developed and then printed). These negatives were scanned to jpg's and the jpg's imported in Aperture.
    In Aperture I then painstakingly gave the right dates and approximate time, to be in the right order. (At this event at the same time there was somebody with a digital cam, so they are in the same project mixed with the scannes)
    When adjusting the time, I also wrote the changes to the original file. However, somewhere Aperture remembers this date the pcitures were created eventhough the original file does not contain this date anymore (as far as I tell).
    Since the photostream also uses the date for ordering the whole order is mixed-up...
