When to stop building for 2.2.1

Hi,
I'm a relatively new iPhone developer. I initially released my iPhone app about 1 month before OS3.0 went public, so it's built supporting OS 2.2.1.
My question is when should I stop supporting 2.2.1 and start requiring OS 3.0 as the minimum OS.
I'd just like to hear how other developers deal with this. Or should I just do it and that'll require all users to upgrade to OS 3.0.
TIA,
gary

I'm an iPod touch owner and I'm definitely holding off. It's looking more and more like 3.0 leaks like crazy. Our game runs fine on a 2.2.1 device, but on 3.0, after about 15 minutes of play, it grinds to an unplayable framerate. I've also been reading a lot of anecdotes about similar behaviour from other people. I think until Apple fixes this firmware's memory management or the online complaints settle down you're going to have quite a few 2.2.1 users.
I'm all for new and fancy, but paying $10 for a few features and making my device run worse doesn't sound like a great deal to me.
Either way, I think you'd be greatly limiting your customer base to go 3.0 only this early.

My ipod stops or pauses while I am walking...I am using the nike sensor with my Ipod. Will it pause when I stop walking for a period of time?

I have purchased the nike sensor to use with my Ipod touch. I tried it on the golf course and it kept pausing after time.. I tried the different ways to work out eg basic, timed, calories...but it kept pausing after a short distance. Is this because you stop and start with golf? Is there a setting I can adjust?

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
#Open Firefox ''Options'' window (''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux) as follows:
#* In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options'' for Windows or ''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux.
#* In Firefox 28.0 and previous versions, click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
#In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
#In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
#Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Out of Memory Error when exporting release build for IOS

I recently changed my project to use the new AIR 3.3 SDK.
When I try to package my game for iOS, I get an error part way through the build, that says
Exeption in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space.
I took a screenshot:
It's frustrating because now it doesn't build at all.
I have tried changing the -vmargs for the sdk to have 16Gb of RAM available, (and many other multiples of 1024m) in the hope that this would fix it.
I've also installed the JDK as it is supposed ot handle memory better than the JRE, but have no idea how to point FB to use that.
I've changed the Xmx value to 1024m in Flashbuilder.ini and eclipse.ini (it seems it doesn't start if it's higher than that) and still no luck.
Can anyone help with this?
Cheers,
Ben

Well I don't have to render as I go, it is just a choice. I checked to see if all the video and stills were rendered. I re-rendered after making sure all of the options were checked, removed all of the stills from the timeline just in case the still format was the problem, then attempted to export again. It took about 2 hours. I watched with activity monitor and it took almost all of the available disc space then my computer shut itself down. When I rebooted there was a Quicktime file 320 GB in size but would not open. I got an error message that it was not a mov. file.
But to answer your question:
Video is 29.97fps DV/DVCPRO
Frame size is 720 x 480
3.0 mb/sec
16 bit Integer
Aplha= None /ignore
Composit is Normal
NTSC-CCIR 601
Stereo
Stills are at 25.0 fps JPEG

Assuming that you've got the relevant iOS version on the iPad, then you can change it from a 15 minute period during which it doesn't need to be re-entered to immediately via Settings > General > Restrictions > Require Password

Will pages automatically reformat to correct size when using Folio Builder or do I have to make pages iPad format, for example, in InDesign document set up from the start?

Moved to DPS forum.
You need to set up the pages appropriately for the target device. For iPad that's 1024x768.

My iphone 4 speakers stopped giving me sounds when i play audio or video even while gaming. It works fine when ringing tunes of for voice mails, even works fine with headsets. What is wrong with it?

well i'd seriosly say point a hot hair drier at the speakers as water has entered the phone most commonly via the home button but avoid getting it too hot let it cool every 3 minutes after constant drying. Don't worry I have honestly dont this with my iPhone 4 GSM 16GB. For future reference avoid letting it get wet.

Is there a fix for a slow response when pressing stop?

When pressing stop (either by mouse or pressing spacebar), there is always a one to two second delay before the music actually stops. Why is this? Any fix?
I have been using Digital Performer and that always stops on a dime. It is a bit annoying to hear another 1- 2 seconds of music after hitting "Stop". Any ideas?
This is not a latency issue.
Thanks

A lag setting in like that could also be a sign of needed RAM exceeding available RAM - at which time parts of the contents of RAM have to be temporarily stored to or retrieved from disk.
That lag is from the OS needing to read RAM content from disk, or the OS needing to write RAM content to disk - and more often than not, both simultaneously. Only after this has been done ("swapping") is the correct RAM content - that's needed for Logic to 'stop' - in place and can the command actually be executed.
Installing more RAM should help, though you might want to check the (real) RAM use of your laggy Logic project via Activity Monitor first, just to be sure.
One of the big RAM eaters, apart from sampled acoustic instruments, is Flex. used RAM can grow quickly when Flex editing. If that happens it may be wise to quit and restart Logic from time to time.

I've imported some midi tracks, used the mixer to set pan, volume etc, but when I stop playback and restart it sets every midi track back to '0'. I've been using LE for years, this is a new one, any ideas?

Hi,
that's because Logic reads the volume information out of the imported MIDI tracks and sets the volume fader according to this information. The MIDI information overrides volume settings you have done, so you have to identify the MIDI events that contain volume (or expression or pan or whatever) information and delete them. You can use the event list editor for this.

Why does my IPod shuffle stop after a few hours playing on shuffle when it should go for days?

Why does my IPod stop playing after a few hours on shuffle when it should play for days?

A few possibilities... (Each numbered item is a separate thing to check or try.)
(1) What does the shuffle's light do when you connect it to USB?
(2) If the docking cable plug is not fully inserted, it may not have a good connection for charging. Make sure the docking cable plug is fully inserted into the shuffle's headphones jack, as shown in this document
iPod shuffle (4th generation): Not seen in iTunes
(3) If there are other USB devices connected to your computer at the same time, try disconnecting other devices (including USB hub) so that the shuffle is the only device connected to a direct USB port, to see if that makes a difference (you can leave standard USB keyboard/mouse connected if used).
(4) If you have a USB power adapter (such as from an iPhone, iPad, or other device), that plugs into the wall outlet, as a test, connect the shuffle's docking cable to the adapter and connect the shuffle. Does it change from a power adapter?
(5) Some newer Windows PCs (if you use Windows and not a Mac) may have a "feature" that shuts off full power to the USB port when a connected storage device is no longer mounted by the system. An iPod is a storage device, and after syncing, iTunes unmounts the iPod's disk (if you are using automatic syncing). If Windows shuts off full power to the USB port, the battery cannot charge. To see if this is the problem, does the iPod appear in iTunes when it is connected, even though the battery is not charging? If it does, select the iPod in iTunes so that you see its Summary screen. There is an option (checkbox) there for Enable disk use. If it's not already checked, check that box and Apply. Enabling disk use keeps the iPod's disk mounted continuously, so Windows will keep the USB port at full power (and the battery will charge). If the iPod now charges, there may be a way to disable this "energy saver" feature in Control Panels, so that you can turn OFF Enable disk use. NOTE: When Enable disk use is turned ON, you need to Eject the iPod in iTunes before physically disconnecting it.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Firefox stops responding for 15s when starting downloads.

Every time I start a new download, Firefox will stop responding for around 15 seconds. During this time, nothing happens, my CPU usage spikes, and many downloads will subsequently fail if they do not support a resume feature. This is extremely frustrating. I have tried reinstalling, disabling add-ons, and clearing my download history daily, all to no avail. I'm tempted to switch back to Firefox 3.x. I know this doesn't apply here, but Nightly does the same thing.
I've got a C2D @ 3.16, 8 GB DDR2 1066, and a WD VelociRaptor 300 GB HDD as my primary (where files are saved temporarily), so I know it's not the system that's struggling.

I managed to solve this problem as my computer has been giving me problems lately and completely froze on me the other day thanks to Game Booster Beta 3 and completely screwed with Windows 7 to the point I almost had to reinstall again, but I managed to fix all my problems and if you would just follow my link here over to my post on Seven Forums then it would be easier then explaining it again.
http://www.sevenforums.com/system-security/180714-windows-7-professional-64-bit-logs-but-almost-frozen-3.html#post1550277 The reason for this is if you shut down your computer while running Firefox, it's possible you corrupted your User Profile for FF and if you follow my instructions you can repair it instead of making a new, so just follow the link, read my post and if you have anymore problems just message me on Seven Forums. Have a nice day and hopefully you get it all fixed. :b
