When opening a page, FF sometimes hangs for several minutes, the main thread consuming 100% of the running core
I've not been able to detect a pattern of occurrence. It just happened now when I opened this page
http://www.pcinpact.com/actu/news/66460-amd-catalyst-rage-vsync-opengl.htm
soon after starting FireFox (which loaded the dozen tabs - in two windows - of my current session).
Here is the stack of the main thread, as shown in Process Explorer :

the last two functions are called recursively over 40 times...
Today, I was able to open the older version of the template if I only viewed the code first. So I was able to narrow it down to one change I had made. I had changed:
<link href="/css/960grid.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
to:
<link href="http://mydomain.com/css/960grid.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
When I tried to save the document, Dreamweaver hanged. The document opened fine with all of the other changes I had made, although it couldn't find the CSS files (I had moved the site to another root locally).
This really looks like a bug in Dreamweaver to me. I've seen CSS links like this in other people's websites, so it does look like valid CSS to me. Is there a workaround for this?

I upgraded to Mac OS X 10.6.8 a few weeks ago. It seemed to be running OK, so we upgraded another system also. Now both machine are, from time to time, stalling whatever application is running. Everything stops or runs veeeeeeerrrrrry slowly for several minutes even including bringing other windows to the front. The disk runs almost like it is swapping a lot. Then the system frees up and runs normally for a while. This is not a startup problem. I occurrs on systems that have been running for a day or two or more. It happens on an iMac and on a MacBookPro. Neither of them had this behavior before the 10.6.8 upgrade.

What do you mean with corrupt?
Why did you suggest that I created a new profile?
There are cache files and other system files that are created every time a user account is created. Sometimes these are corrupted in the OS and it really has no bearing on the specific application but it can lead to erratic behavior. Creating a new user recreates all these system files and thus it's almost like starting fresh. It's one step shy of re-installation of an OS. So because changing the user fixed the issue, then we have eliminated the fact that the application is causing the error and we know the OS is causing the error.
I can't just go in to that profile when I want to use?
I wouldn't recommend it. This can lead to more problems with the OS down the road with other applications and depending on where the corruption lies it can lead to issues with OS upgrades or even installing new software. The files that are typically most critical to users are stored in the Applications folder or the Documents/Sites/Pictures folders. You can easily drag them over to a new user account. If you have email being backed up for a product like Thunderbird you can also bring over many of the Library items as well. -
Forte hangs for several minutes
We are talking 5 minutes where my CPU is pegged at 100%.
It happens fairly often.
Today, "runide" has consumed about *45* minutes of CPU time.
This happened before, and I cleaned up some of the files it had created, and the problem seemed to go away.
However, it is back, and I can't seem to make it go away again. :-(
Environment:
Intel P3 1.2GHz, 1 Gig RAM
Windows 2000 Professional (Build 2195; SP2)
Hooking into BEA WebLogic 6.1 (w/ JDK 1.3.1)
Forte for Java 4, Community Edition (Build 020624)
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
n8Thanks for the reply - that was an interesting link, especially the info about Linux. :-)
Unfortunately, I don't think any of that will help me. I have plenty of memory (1 Gig) and I don't think the issue is garbage collection, 'cause I reboot the machine every few days. Furthermore, when it got really bad the first time, I rebooted the machine, and the problem appeared immediately after I started everything back up. :-(
I believe there is something inherent about Forte that causes itself to slow down after continued usage.
Maybe creating and destroying breakpoints is related to the problem? That is something that increases over time, and I can't seem to find where these settings are stored.
Does anybody know where the breakpoints are stored?
Thanks,

Stop Firefox from reverting back to Google Search Results when opening a page from results list
When I click on one of the results from a Google search, I have it open the page in a new window. The page opens in the new window just fine, but instead of letting me view the page in the new window, Firefox takes me back to the Google Search results page. I am able to click on the new window and view the page that I chose, but it gets old being sent back to the search results each time I click on one of them and attempt to view it.
This happens on my work PC, home laptop, and my desktop at home as well. I have different versions running on each machine, and home laptop has the latest version of Firefox. I have searched the web and cannot find anyone having this same problem, much less a resolution, so I will ask here.
I hope this makes sense, if more info is needed please let me know.
Thanks to anyone that can help.One reason for this can be if the new window contains Flash media, but Flash hasn't been used for several minutes, the Adobe protected mode feature changes the order of the windows. This is a bug that Adobe has yet to fix. This thread describes the problem in more details and lists the known workarounds: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/955659 Opening New Windows and Shockwave Flash].
If you rule out the Flash issue, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).

Why does Pages 09 hang for 1min30sec? The spinning ball, etc...
I am using Pages 09 version 4.3 (not the iWork package, just Pages 09)
Operating system 10.8.3 with 4 Gb memory on an iMac from around 2009 (Intel core 2 duo)
I had been using Quark Xpress for a couple decades and wanted to save a book I did in Pages so I can sell it in the Apple bookstore.
So I saved a Quark document as a pdf.
Then I used an on-line service to convert the pdf to a word document.
Then I opened the word doc in Pages and saved it as a Pages file.
I am in the process of doing a lot of reformatting, but I'm not surprised all the formatting didn't carry over, considering all the flie formats I went through.
The document is about 40 pages and has perhaps 40 pictures, but I do resize them in Photoshop so the Pages document file is only 4.9 Mb.
Pages isn't all that different from Quark, it just seems to hide things in different places.
The problem is that every so often when I click in the document, I get the spinning ball and Pages hangs for 1 minute and 30 seconds (doesn't it seem odd that it is always for the same length of time?). Then it comes out of its coma and I carry on.
Using the Activity Monitor I see Pages using 99.8% or 100% or even 100.5% of CPU. And The Pages line is in red type that reads "Pages (Not Responding).
While I wait for Pages to come to its senses, I can surf the Web, or use other programs, which seems peculiar because if the CPU is 100% occupied, I would think it could.
When I go to the dock and click on the Pages icon, it doesn't come to the front. I have to move any other windows so I can see my Pages document and click on it to bring it to the front.
I went into FontBook and checked all my fonts and deleted a bunch. When I reopened the document, it said it was missing a font, so I selected a substitute, the document opened and I re-saved it with a new name.
Sometimes it hangs when I click in text, but just now it was hanging every time I tried to click on a line behind the main text box.
Just now it hung when I started to go to the Edit menu. I waited and now it's back, as if nothing happened.
Any ideas?After a very long night it seems my problems were solved by
1. making sure all the in-line pictures had the correct wrap around settings and
2. deleting some lines that had originally been underscores, but wound up being independent lines behind the main text box and
3. checking my fonts in FontBook and deleting the iffy ones (I dunno if this made any real difference, but I mention it anyway).
Every time I would select a line there would be a long pause. Initially 1 1/2 minutes, but shorter as I deleted the lines one by one.
There were also pauses when trying to select in-line pictures, and sometimes for no good reason that i could discern.
Anyway, now that the pictures' wrap around is re-set, and the lines are delected, there are bo more pauses!
Whew. I spent hours watching that ball spin. Still, it was better than re-creating the whole book. -
Crash at start when opening bookmark: bookmark menu covers prompt for general password
Firefox asks for a general password using a drop-down window when opening a page with a log-on section, presumably for an autofill. (It's annoying and I wish I could get rid of it, but that's another story.) My home page has a log-on section, so the prompt appears. But, when I try to choose a bookmarked page, and if the prompt appears while I'm doing it, the bookmark menu covers the prompt. Nothing I do dispels the bookmark menu, whether clicking away from the menu, choosing the menu item, or even just typing the password. I have to restart, sometimes requiring 'force quit' from the Activity Monitor. I automatically clear my history when I quit. Seems obscure enought that it might be a bug...
Bingo. Command-. makes the prompt go away, releasing the bookmark menu so that it returns to its rightful place. ESC, Enter or Space don't work.
Thanks -- you're a star in the night! -

Initially, when I open Firefox everything opens very quickly. However, after several minutes it gets hung up when opening new pages. I have close the browser and reopen it to start over. But each time it does the same thing. Works well at first then poops out. The trouble started yesterday. Before then, I never had any problems.

CS4 randomly hangs for many minutes at a time
I've been doing a number of editing jobs on CS4 for a while now. Started out on a mac but happened to have a pretty decent Windows 7 system on hand so I decided to use that. Here are the specs:
Windows 7 (64-bit)
Intel quad-core i7
6 GB RAM
CS4 installed on 1TB C drive
Project files and scratch disk on striped volume consisting of 3 500GB SATA drives
This setup was performing spendidly on the first few projects I did, but seems to be bogging down as I work on more projects, even though the available disk space doesn't seemed to have changed much. It seems to bog down more on large projects.
What I'm noticing is that as I browse source files and try to set in/out points etc., CS4 will play for a little while and then hang for many minutes at a stretch. It will eventually come back and be usable for a short while but then hang again.
The strange thing is that when it is hung, the system resource monitor shows that the CS4 process is not responding, but it shows very low CPU usage on all cores and no surge in memory usage. Disk I/O also remains relatively low, leaving me at a loss to explain the hangs. I experienced something very similar on CS4 for mac when dealing with these same projects.
The projects have a lot of DV footage split into 2.6GB chunks that I am concatenating together. They also have some HD MJPEG AVIs that I captured using a Black Magic Intensity Pro card.
I should also add that when I finally do get the projects finished and start rendering them, the rendering is very fast overall, which confirms my theory that my machine's performance is more than adequate and these hangs are due to bugs and I/O bottlenecks in CS4 itself.
Needless to say, this is very frustrating. I have less of a problem if a program needs to do something and explains to me why I need to wait while it does it, but I don't like my programs to go away for hours without telling me where they're going.
Adobe people, if you're listening, please respond to this. I have seen a number of other complaints about similar issues. At least let us know if you're aware of these issues and what you are doing about it.
Thanks,
CarlWell, any progress is good, eh? For MJPEG's, most of us will recommend either the MainConcept, or the Morgan. I wonder how the BM MJPEG CODE's would work, without the card - just thinking there? BTW - more users like the MainConcept by a few.
As far as Adobe goes, if they are going to put up a forum, in my opinion, they should be actively monitoring it and responding to issues. Otherwise it becomes more of a liability than an asset and merely serves to call attention to their own obliviousness.
You make a good point, but I feel that Adobe sees these as an asset in that the best T/S work is done by other users. I always suggest that anyone having any issue with an Adobe product, stop by the fora first. Most never need to go any farther. For tons of free T/S, Adobe pays for the servers and the administration of the fora.
Still, and this is between just you and me, I'd love to hear that there are some "monitors," who do read. As I mentioned, this forum is blessed to have the few Adobe employees, that we do. Photoshop has Chris Cox, one of the developers of PS. Even in his role, however, I believe that he only offers solutions and explanations, and does not "take notes." One exception was when he was compiling a list of "problem fonts" for PS, and asked for contributions with full details on what problems they caused.
When a new upgrade, or an update is issued, we do see more Adobe representation here. It usually starts with a post that something is coming out, and as many details, as are possible to divulge, are given. As we draw closer to the release date, more details are often forthcoming. This presence usually stays until after the release, and we get to comment from the trenches, how the update/upgrade works. Then, I know that notes are being taken. After a bit, that presence fades (as far as we can tell, but who knows?). Sometimes I wonder about those shadows on the wall in the Video Lounge... oh wait, those are just grease stains from the yoodles.
Good luck on your Project, and please keep us updated. My brain just keeps coming back to the MJPEG's, but they probably are not part of the issue.

Error when opening an RFC connection (LB : Hostname or service of the messa
Hi All,
Im trying to transport datasources in BW, they are 7.x RSDS datasources. but we did not change the source system, it was existing and we are using the same source for older BW version. we now installing new BW 7.x system.
These transports went fine in BQ system but failing in BP system with the below error :
Error when opening an RFC connection (LB : Hostname or service of the message ser
Error when activating DataSource 2LIS_17_I0NOTIF RP1CLT100
Error when opening an RFC connection (LB : Hostname or service of the message ser
Error when resetting DataSource 2LIS_17_I0NOTIF RP1CLT100 to the active version
the datasource 2LIS_17_I0NOTIF is active in RP1CLT100 system. when this transport goes to prod it tries to overwrite the existing one, as there are no changes to the datasource the structure will be the same.
but after that it cant able to activate that datasource.
so my question is can we able to activate this datasource in RP rather than doing transport again from R/3 Dev---R/3 PRD.
i tried RSDS_DATASOURCE_ACTIVATE_ALL but it doesn't help.
another question is when we migrate from 3.x datasource to 7.x, does this change any metadata in R/3 system as well.
Best Regards
Robyn.Hi Rizwan,
Looking at the error message it seems like there is some issue with RFC connection and whatever objects you are trying to move are not reaching to target system. Just have a check with basis team.
Once you migrate DS from 3.x to 7.0 yes there will be some meta data changes e.g. the DS type will be changed from ISFS to RSDS. You will have to send the migration along with current data source.
Regards,
Durgesh.
