What, exactly, are 'encoded assets'? Why does removing them resolve problems? How can they be avoided in the first place?

As I understand it, encoding fomats your digital video clips and photos (assets) into Standard DVD mp2 format so that it can be burned to a DVD. If there has been an error in the encoding process, then you remove the old encoded assets and start over. There are numberous reasons why there can be errors in the encoding process.

Are LV menu's emulations? And if so how can they be blocked in the WINAPI

I need to popup a Global vi and do not want the user to be able to access
the full LV menus that appear on a non-running vi such as a Global vi. It
appears that LV menus are emulations and not actual windows hmenu
structures. Does anyone know of a sneaky way to block mouse clicks on these
areas of the vi?

If you want to block the menus, choose VI Properties from the File Menu then choose Windows Appearance from the dropdown box. Click on the Customize button and you will find options to turn off pop-up menus and the menubar. You can also turn off a lot of other things (scroll bars are one I turn off regularly).
This should keep your user(s) out of the menus. Hope that this is what you are looking for.

My apps on my iPod 4th generation keep closing out on me, why does it do that, and how can I stop it?

My apps on my iPod 4th generation keep closing out on me, why does it do that, and how can I stop it?

The above comment is not helpful to me, and I'm also guessing many people, but who knows. I've seen the same recommendation in many, many threads on this same topic, but only once have I seen that the resolution solved the problem for anyone, unless those people didn't follow up. Anyway,I found the below comment which made sense and may be the source of the issue. Too many apps running in the background - turn them off or simply do a hard reset to kill them all at once.

Apparently, ios closes apps it can't (or thinks it can't) run because of too few RAM available. Double-press the home button and close any still running apps in the background. There are apps that serve to clear up some of your RAM. You will need to do this every once in a while, though.
Clearing disk space will also help - remove any files you don't need/use and try to keep a clean disc in overall.

What exactly is "other" and why does it take -up so much space?

I'm trying to free up some space on my iPad2, and see "other" is usiong 6.7 gigs.. What exactly is "other"?

Actually "other" is app data, Safari Bookmarks, calendar entries, text messages, notes, Safari History, email messages and things like that - stuff associated with apps - but not the apps themselves or any other media.
Your "other" should be nowhere near 6.7 GB. You had a corrupt sync. You can try restarting, the iPad, rebooting it by holding down on the home and sleep buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears or unsync all photos and music and then resync all photos and music.
However, many times you need to restore the device to factory settings and then restore from a backup in order to reduce that bloated size. That should probably be no more than 1 GB and more likely between 200 and 750 MB in total size.

I have the first iPad, and it keeps crashing no matter what program(safari) app (iTunes) or game I use. I check the updates regularly and I'm up to date. Why does it keep crashing and how can I fix it?

I have the first iPad (which is considered ancient). I'll open safari and no matter what I'm searching after a few minutes it crashes (it will close safari and bring me back to the main app screen). The last few days I've been searching song on iTunes, and I have the same issue. It closes my iTunes and brings me to the main app screen.
I have checked my updates and everything is current for this iPad. It's a 64gb iPad with 54gb of available space so I know it's not a storage issue.
Does anyone have some pointers on how to keep it from crashing all the time?

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

Safari bookmarks every page I visit. Why does it do this? How can I stop it?

Safari bookmarks every web site I visit. Why? How can I stop it doing this?

The first thing I would try is to go to Safari preferences and click on the Bookmarks icon. If any items are checked then un-check them and see what happens.

Why does CD Burning in iTunes 10.6 hang my system on the first track?

I have iTunes 10.6.3.25 running on Windows 7.
When I try to burn a playlist to a CD iTunes hangs on the first track.
To stop the hang I have to shutdown my computer and unplug the external LG super multi-blue writer (BE06LU10)
This used to work in previous version of iTunes.
There is nothing wrong with my CD drive or OS since I am able to burn a CD using Power2Go software on the same system.
It is more convenient to use iTunes since that is where my playlists are stored.

Well unplugging the power to the external optical drive breaks the iTunes hang-up without having to re-boot.
My question is why itunes consistently hangs while trying to write the first track to the CD?
I deleted iTunes and re-installed but to no affect.
I can burn CD with other software on my system so this must be an iTunes bug that needs to be fixed my Apple. Meanwhile, I will use other software.

Why does my bank statement open up in Quicktime Player with only the first page visible?

This month I tried to open my bank statement as usual, and it opened in Quicktime Player. The first page of the statement displays, but I can not scroll to the next pages. I have tested downloading other items, and they downloaded as usual. I don't use Quicktime, and I tried hiding it. But each time I try to see my statement, it comes up again.

Hi Lynda,
What file format is your bank statement in? Is it a PDF or in an .xls/.csv file format? It sounds like the program-to-file association has gotten messed up on the file. If you right-click (or ctrl-click) on the file then:
- Get Info
- Open with
If it's a .pdf then you'll want to associate the file with Preview (or whatever PDF viewer you use). If it's a different file format you'll want to associate it with the program that you typically use for that file type.

When i try to connect to my applications icon this error appears: cannot connect to itunes store. Why does it say this and how can I correct it?

When I try to connect to my application icon it states "cannot connect to itunes store" why and how can I fix it

also, how do you connect to internet, cellular data network or wi-fi....you might also try it with wi-fi turned off and see if it works over the cell data network..this would eliminate any proxy issues with the wi-fi network...

We had to change the feed adress and the epsiode adresses. Now all the episodes of my podcast are downloaded (although i have downloaded them already). How can I make the changes in my feed and avoid that all the episodes are reloaded?

Hello,
We had to change the feed adress (<itunes:new-feed-url>)and the epsiode adresses in the feed because the feed and the episode-files are on a new server. Now when i open my iTunes subscription of our podcast all the episodes of my podcast are downloaded again (although i have downloaded them already).
My Question therefore is: How can I make the changes in my feed and avoid that all the episodes are reloaded?
Maybe have an answer?
Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for your answer
As I see now, our 'guid' tags contain the episode URLs
To avoid this problem in the future i would like to change guid tags. Can you please tell me how a guid tag should look like if it is not the URL?
Thank you for helping us!
ps now it looks like this eg:
<guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.castyourart.com/podcasts/213_thinkglobal_en.mp4</guid>

When using office for mac or i studio after inserting several pictures, my computer locks up and the only way I can fix it is to do a force quit. Why does it do this and how I I get it fixed without a force quit?

I have a mac book, with office for mac and iStudio installed. When I try to create a document using either one of these; after inserting several photos, the computer locks up and the only way I can get it to unlock is to do a force quit. Why does it do this, and how can I get it to unlock without having to do a force quit?

Are you using versions of the software that are compatible with the version of OS X you have installed? Very often such lockups are caused by application incompatibility.
The problem may also come from trying to use both sets of applications at the same time while not having enough RAM installed. Adding more RAM may fix the problem.
The problem can arise from corrupted support files such as preference files or Application Support files or corrupted cache files.
The image files you are using may also be corrupt thus causing the problem.
You might start with:
Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc. Other utilities are also available such as Onyx, Lion Cache Cleaner, CockTail, for example.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Backuplist
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
iBackup
JaBack
Silver Keeper
MimMac
Retrospect
Super Flexible File Synchronizer
SuperDuper!
Synchronize Pro! X
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup

When I started up my macbook Pro after a boat trip (just lying in my bag the whole time) it started making weird sounds. Why does it do that and how do I stop it?

The 13" retina MBP has two fans, left and right near the hinge and about 2.5" each from the edges of the case.
My conjecture is that one of the fans may be failing. An appointment at an Apple store genius bar is the best option. The evaluation will be FREE and a fan replacement (if that is the problem) should not break the bank account.
You might run an Apple Hardware Test:

This may confirm my suspicion or perhaps find a different problem. Note that an error free result should not be viewed as being definitive.

What exactly are the cron scripts doing?

Hi,
Hope the subject says it all: I have searched but not found a detailed explanation as what the cron scripts (daily, weekly, monthly) actually do, and if the utilities (Onyx, Cocktail, Xupport, etc) are doing exactly the same.
Can someone point to a site or explain?
TIA
Dan

Hi Dan,
(in addition to Barry's reply)
Yes,
1) running the Daily, the Weekly and the Monthly tasks manually with an utility, or
2) running them yourself with the
sudo periodic daily
sudo periodic weekly
sudo periodic monthly
Terminal commands
(or this one: sudo periodic daily weekly monthly), or
3) leaving your computer running 24/7/365 so that they run automatically,
all three ways do exactly the same thing.
--> To see what they do exactly, the best way is to open Console, and in the /var/log section, look for "daily.out", "weekly.out" and "monthly.out".
What exactly are the "cron scripts" doing?
(Periodic tasks)
In Console, you'll find a lot of different files that grow with more and more information every minute, even every second for some of them.
The three Periodic tasks regularly rearrange them and compresses them so that they don't take too much disk space.
They also rebuild some system database so that the data never gets unusable by the system.
