Whether Skype profiles has a certain time of valid...
Hi there, I'm concerned whether Skype profiles has a certain time of validity - i.e. if I don't log in for let's say 2 or 3 years whether it will be automatically deleted - OR - there is no such thing and even if I log in after let's say 3 years my account will still be active and my Contacts' list won't be deleted. 10x in advance.
The behavior you describe is normal if you enabled FileVault. The startup sequence takes place after you enter your password, not before. Also see below.
Automatic and Sudden Termination of Apps
Automatic app termination manages the life cycle of apps behind the scenes, terminating apps that are not being used and allowing the reclamation of resources such as memory. With this feature, users no longer need to explicitly quit apps (although they still can, if they want to). Instead, the operating system is responsible for managing app processes with the goal of ensuring optimal system performance.

Skype profile has extra number, not added by me!
Hi,
I have been told that when you right click my name, and view my brief profile, it shows with my mobile number, that I have added. And with an extra number titled 'mobile2' Which I do not recognise, and have definitely not added. I cannot see it myself, only the other person could see it. When I edit my profile, it doesn't show up there. Only my real number.
Also, my profile says I live in Antarctica, which I also cannot see. It says destination unspecified. So, its only the other person who can see Antarctica and an extra number.
How is this possible?My understanding it iTunes handles artwork several ways. First, iTunes keeps a copy of all artwork in its artwork folder. Second, artwork can optionally be embedded in a media file. You can, for example, have an album where no artwork is actually in the files but all use a reference copy in the artwork folder. Even if a file has artwork embedded it may still use the version in the artwork folder.
Embedded artwork travels with the file when you copy the file.
I am hazy as to when exactly iTunes will embed artwork and when it won't. I believe, for example, if you use iTunes to fetch artwork it will not embed it, it will just place a copy in the artwork folder. Then too I never use iTunes to fetch artwork and I usually end up with artwork embedded in a file or two per LP (each embedded copy uses up more disk space). Now, I still use iTunes 7.5 and new versions may not behave exactly the same. If it was my version and I added artwork to a file it would embed it and it would transfer. It sounds like your artwork isn't embedded even if you are adding it the same way I would (I drag mine to the little arwork display box in the bottom left corner of my window, which apparently has vanished completely in iTunes 11).
You could try this for a file:
Script for embedding artwork - http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=embedart
Just remember embedding artwork adds to each file size, so if you have 1000 files and you add 2 MB of high quality scans to each track you are taking up 2 GB more of drive space. -

To find whether current user has SAP_ALL profile or not.
Hi all,
Can anyone tell me that whether is there any method by which I can pass the user id and can know whether that user has the SAP_ALL profile or not.
The above is done by using the transaction SU01,but I need the ABAP code that is being used in this transaction.

I've yet to see any legitimate fixes for this. With this new client I'm now forced to use, I seem to be expericing this bug/issue. When I encountered this in the past, I just downgraded a version and waited until a newer version came out that I didn't experience this issue with.
Now that Skype is forcing people to use this one specific version (and future newer ones), I'm at a loss that this bug is still not properly fixed.
Also any responses about the image resolution, image quality, image file extention - no. I've always had a HQ Skype profile image, I'm not trying to upload a picture from a potato that's 60x60. It's not a stretching issue, it's not a resolution issue, it's a Skype issue. I've never had this problem before and I've always had perfectly HQ images as my profile picture, when I rarely did have these issues, it was the versions fault after I upgraded - not mine. Upgrading past that version or below that version gave me crystal clear profile pictures again and I never changed what I was doing or how I got them to be HQ.
Now that I'm being forced to use this new version, I'd like to know if there are any fixes for this issue or are people who also have this issue (and have had it for awhile now - a simple google search will show you how far back this issue has occured) have to endure this until a new version comes out that hopefully does not carry on with the said bug?
I've tried uploading the image at full resolution, smaller resolution, and from my phone. Since I'm no longer able to use portable Skype apps that are lower than the newest version, I'm unable to utilize that fix. I saw someone say uploading it from an iPhone works - I do not have an iPhone. There was another solution about not using Windows 8 Desktop version - I use Windows 7 therefore I am unable to utilize that fix either.
Has anyone found a work around for this? A fix? Anything?Okay, this is just pure annoying. I have a professional group on Skype, because most are used to Skype over Google Hangouts. I've had this group for a very long time. Over the years, we've upgraded the logo, and each time, we've made a Group Profile logo in Adobe Illustrator, as a high DPI Vector image.
Well, for the past like year, our logo, no matter what resolution it's in (96X96), (480X480), hell the full on 1920X1920, and all variants I can think of between still leaves the image blurry. I've even created a pure black and white version of the logo, to see if color support was the cause. It's still blurry. I've uploaded from one of our Mac's (OSX 10.7), Windows 7 Pro, Windows 8.1 Pro, Windows XP Pro, Android (Moto X Gen 1), iPHone 6 Plus (latest OS), and it's STILL BLURRY.
This is a seriously high quality logo, yet Skype makes it garbage for all of the professionals in my Group to see. No matter how I crop it, change it, upload it and from where, it's still frigging Blurry.
So as long as I use Skype, my brand will always look like retro-grade Windows 98 First Edition trash. Thank you Microsoft for never fixing this. I really appreciate the aggravation.
I've attached a sample logo (that isn't of my brand, or of my brands purpose). This sample is JPG that I just tried, as I was thinking maybe changing the image to something completely pointless may stop it from being blurry. It's still blurry. It's not any particular resolution, it's just a simple image to push home the point. It looks higher quality when full size, but in Skype, it looks like this:

in 8.1.2 i have un checked the Ken Burns effect in some individual slides. Sometimes it turns itself back on. At first I thought I'd made the mistake myself, but it has happend many times. Can I avoid this? Is the software flawed?
Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101. -
Intermittent broadband at certain times
Hi all,
For the past few weeks now my broadband has been intermittently coming on and off and I've realised that its always at a certain time. It seems after 7pm it decides to go awol and starts to cut in and out until about 9-10pm. After that it seems to be fine. I have noticed since this has been happening that the Loss of framing and signal had started to rise...Something that does jump out at me is that the Output power (down) is 0.0dBm, is it meant to be like that?

An alert message pops up upon opening saying could not initiate application security component, and it says to check to see if profile has no read/write restrictions. Than when it opens all of my saved passwords are gone, I use a master password and its disabled. When I try to enter in a new on e it says can't change password. I can't even open yahoo e-mail says that my ssl security is down but when I check it its clicked. I'm just very confused as to whats going on.

Update Podcasts at a certain time of day
My ISP limits bandwidth during certain times of the day, and if I exceed a quota during the restricted hours, my connection speed is lowered. Is there a way to set iTunes to check for podcast updates / purchases at a user specified time of day?
I'm looking for the solution to this issue too. Once or twice, a full system restart has seemed to solve the problem temporarily but it slips back to an afternoon refresh after a few days.
Seems like it would be simple for Apple to allow us to specify a time of day for refreshes in the preferences section. -
Hi,
We have SSIS Package, which in-turn executes some Stored procedures .
This Package runs fine at certain time, say 30 minutes which is acceptable. But sometimes, it takes around 1.5 hr. There was no modification done to the package, and the amount of data handled by the package is also same.
I have a doubt that some other big process may be running in parallel when this package is getting executed.
All the Databases are on D drive in the server and currently there is 140 GB free space out of 1 TB.
Now, using sp_who2 I can check what are the big processes which are running in parallel when this package is getting executed and get their Disk I/O.
Now having these information, is there any way to determine, amount of space/memory required to execute a particular query in 30 minutes.
Or to put a question in other way, I have a query and I know its acceptable execution time(30 min). Now is there any way to determine the criteria to get that execution time.
NOTE: The query is optimized and required indexes are created. It was running fine, until 1 week back. Suddenly the execution time has increased.
Can some one please help me in this. Please let me know if you need any further information on this.
Also whenever these jobs are running, sometimes job activity monitor and SSMS gets frozen. Any idea what does this indicate?
Thanks in advance,
RakshaPerhaps blocking?

How can I set up a program to stop at a certain time, or after a period of time?
I am using LabVIEW to measure dc voltages over a period of time. The data is exported into an Excel file. I would like to be able to set up the program to stop at a certain time, or after a certain number of hours. This way when I run a test that will start near the end of the week and would stop on say, Saturday, it will not continue to record all the data after that, which I do not need. I would love to be able to set a time for it to end, but I also wouldn't mind having it end, or stop recording data, after a certain voltage has been reached.
Its hard to say without knowing more about how your program is set up. Assuming the data aquisition is in a while loop, you can just wire a bunch of different stop conditions into a compound math node. Then right click on it and select "OR". A caveat about the comparisons I used in my little example: Comparing DBLs can lead to unexpected results when the two values are very close together.

Need some help in making a label disappear for certain time
hi
i need to make a program for my java class
this is the question
Design and implement a memory game. In this game you show the user a sequence of
random integer numbers in the range of 0 to 99, and then ask him to type these
numbers. Display how many he has remembered as a score. The level of game depends
on how many numbers are there in the sequence. The duration of the display for the
sequence is the speed. The user can adjust the level and the speed.
my question is how to view the numbers for the game and make them disappear after certain time
in need help with the syntax for it

Certain websites will not load at certain times.
Hi,
for the last few weeks, I have been having difficulty with loading certain websites at certain times of the day. The problem is affecting websites that I've been using for years, such as hotmail, Facebook, eBay, BBC Newsfeeds, Lego website, CBBC, to name a few. It happens whether I use a bookmark, a hyperlink or whether I type it in, myself. The page will start to load, then just hang,with the loading wheel spinning. The page does not freeze and you can stop, go back, reload etc. Sometimes, ebay or hotmail will load eventually, but there will be no, or only a few pictures and the website will consist of just a list of text headings where buttons and frames should be.
The problem exists in Firefox (3.6.25) and in Safari and Internet Explorer (the latter two are fairly old versions. Firefox is my default browser). The problem is the worst around the local afternoon and seems to go away entirely at about 11 o'clock in the evening. This is way in excess of local high volume times and other image and video heavy sites work fine during the outages. Other secure (http) sites work during the outages, too. This doesn't happen every day and appears both on weekdays and weekends. When I have outages lasting several hours, I have looked on the wider web (Google always seems to work) and I can find no traffic suggesting that significant numbers of other users are having problem.
So far, I have done the following:
cleared out cookies and the cache.
reinstalled Firefox
restarted the router
carried out a virus scan using ClamXav
disabled all security and blockers
disabled all add-ons
started Firefox in Safe Mode
None of the above made any improvement. Then, suddenly just before 11pm, everything started working, as per previous nights.
This is very strange behaviour which is extremely annoying and disruptive. Can anyone help, please?
I'm using a G5 2.7 with OSX ver 10.4.11. I have not changes the hardware and software seetting for many months (that I'm aware of) nor have I installed any new software (that I"m aware of).
Yours Aye
StuadhBDAqua,
thanks but already done. I've tried an old laptop and although it was loading the offending pages this evening, it was taking 20 mins to load each page. I need to go to my ISP, I reckon.
Yet again, all the relevant pages go down at around 1700 and then spring to life again at 2300.

How to stop a while loop after certain time using Elapsed time vi
how to stop a while loop after certain time using Elapsed time vi.
Hi Frankie,
Just place the Elapsed Time VI inside the WHILE loop, and wire the 'Time Has Elapsed' output to the conditional terminal in the lower right corner (which should be set to 'stop if true' by default).
In the future, please post your LabVIEW questions to the LabVIEW Forum. You have a much better chance of getting your questions answered sooner, and those answers can then help others who are searching the LabVIEW forums. Thanks!
