Why does LV not close, but remains in memory, even when it has stopped running?

Whenever I run LV7.1 on this Panasonic Toughbook CF18 (XP pro sp3) after stopping or closing LV, it remains open on the toolbar and in the task manager; the applications window indicates "not responding" and I must close it manually. the Processes window shows about 25-30k memory usage for each instance. If I run an exe again, each time it leaves another program open on the toolbar and in memory.  It does the same thing whether I'm running an exe written in LV, or just opening the LV71, even without loading or running a vi. I suspect it is a setting somewhere in windows setup but I don't know what to look for.
LV has done this ever since it was installed on this machine, several years ago, and can be annoying when I do a lot of work with it.  Is there somthing I can do to make LV close completely when exiting?

Hey Rikard,
So, what you are seeing is that each VI that you open in the development environment remains open in memory even after you close the VI? When you manually close a VI, you still see it located in task manager and it is listed as not responding. The only way you can release the memory and remove it from task manager is to manually 'end task?' This is also true for executables, even though you close the .exe it still remains in memory? Have you seen this same behavior on a different computer, or does it seem unique to this particular machine/setup? Does this happen with any other programs?  Perhaps some screen shots of your desktop and task manager would be helpful in clearing up what is actually happening.
Hope this helps.

  • Why does 'User not registered for online use' show up when I try to import a cd into itunes. None of the cd info shows up either

    Why does 'User not registered for online use' show up when I try to import a cd into itunes? None of the cd info shows up either.

    Well, the format I upload from the camera is "video clip" or "video for Windows"...sometimes I've converted them to avi format, too. But as I said, it never even lets me get that far...I never get to even select a clip. As soon as I tell the program to "import/clip" it freezes up before I can even go to the folder that the clips are in. It has only begun to do this recently, and I'd never had any problems like this before. Last night I tried it again, and I clicked "open composition", and it froze when I did that too.
    I'm not sure how much more specific I can be about the details of the clips, since I'm positive it has nothing to do with the clips themselves...I'm running Windows XP, though...Home Edition Service Pack 2, Pentium 4 CPU 2.80GHz, with 504 MB of RAM. I have had the automatic updates turned on since I did my last reformat a couple of weeks ago. Could it have something to do with some kind of an update it may have done?

  • Why does my ipad close apps and exit safari only when in our Tesco smart case?

    We have just purchased a Tesco smart case for our Ipad 4. When we use it now though,it automatically closes apps, kicks us out of Safari, and enters sleep mode. But all is fine if we remove it from the case. Is this a known problem when using 'non-Apple' cases? Any pointers appreciated.

    High-quality, correctly made and fitted third-party cases should be fine.
    Check that the openings on the case are not pressing any of the buttons.
    If all appears fine, take the case back for replacement or refund. It's clearly not doing the job you bought it for.
    Generally, you do get what you pay for, and although more expensive, Apple products are higher quality and work with the products they are designed for.

  • Why does Finder think a file or folder is modified when it has only been opened (not re-saved)?

    I try to use the Finder to sort my folders and files by Date Modified so I can quickly access my current projects/files/folders and keep them on the top of the list.  Whenever I open an older file to just see what's in it Finder thinks that the file has been modified.  I don't change anything or re-save it, I just open it and close it.  This makes the Date Modified sort pretty much identical to the Date Last Opened sort.
    1) Is there a way to stop this behavior?
    2) Is there a way to sort by Date Last Saved?

    Please re-read my original question and post.  Your answers don't help me and I wonder if I haven't written my post correctly to communicate my desire.
    I currently use the Finder to sort my files by "date modified", but I want to use the Finder to sort by "date last saved", but it doesn't have that option.  Many times I open a file just to explore what's in it, then I close it without changing anything or saving it - but when I do the Finder thinks I have "modified" it, and it puts that file at the top of the list.  I didn't modify it, but Finder treats it like I did.

  • When my wifes IPhone 4 8gb receives a call the caller will hear 1 or 2 rings then the ringing stop, however if the caller stays on the line she will answer the call, the incoming rings is not interupted but the outgoing ring (from the caller) has stopped.

The incoming ring is only is only interrupted by those who are calling her, and is not affected as to when she receives the call.  Most callers feel the call has either dropped or the Iphone is not being answered.  Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the issue/s are occurring?

  • Why does my ipod touch 4th generation lose power even when it's turned off?

    When my ipod touch is turned off for a couple of days, it loses most of it's charge.  Is this normal? 

    Are you turning the iPod Off via depressing the Power button until the Slide to Power Off appear and sliding it? If not the iPod is sleeping and the iPod is still doing stuff when sleeping and it is normal for the battery to fully discharge is  a few days, especially if wifi is on.
    If you are really powering the iPod off that is not normal and indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Why does Mac force boot to the recovery partition even when an external recovery option is selected? This disables the option of reformatting the internal drive because it is in use running the recovery partition.I have yet to find a viable solution.

          To make a very tedious story short, My Mac decided that it would crash and not reboot the OS. I decided to bite the bullet and just reformat, sacrificing my very important data. I have tried just about every trick in the book. There is one one major problem I am facing. When I try to reformat the internal HDD using Disk Utility. It fails to unmount. "Make sure that all applications and files are closed on this disk.", Suggesting that the computer is ignoring my command at startup to boot from my external recovery drive, and  using the Recovery partition on the problem drive, making it impossible to reformat the drive.  When the internal drive is removed and connected by another method it is not recognized.
    I failed to read the fine print on the box that  suggested I purchase another Mac to fix problems with my primary Mac because any utility with the potential to fix the problem can only be run on a functioning Mac.

    Booting to any version of the Recovery system, the built in partition on the internal drive, a recovery partition on an external drive or from the Online internet system will not stop you from formatting the Macintosh HD partition on the internal drive. So your problem is not that you are booting from the internal Recovery HD partition. It is probably your internal hard drive has problems, failing.
    You could try booting the system from the Online system. At startup hold down the Option/Alt + Command + r keys and keep them held down until you see a globe on the screen. That will boot the system from across the internet from the Apple servers completely removing the internal drive as a boot source. If you still can't erase and format or repartition and format the internal drive then your drive has problems and will need to be replaced.

  • Why does iphoto not copy all photos when transfering

    Hi peeps.
    why does iPhoto not copy all photos from an event when im copy/pasting to an external folder on my mac(for later transfer). All softwares are up to date and ive only just realised it happens, but when i copy all pics in an event then paste in a folder, the pic count is substantially different. for example i select all pictures in an event called 'new1', the count of files is 188. i then copy/ paste to a folder,  select all files and check 'info' and it says 141 files??? 
    all i can see painstakingly going through to compare which images are in each place is that the ones that arent in my new folder , seem to be the ones ive edited in iPhoto??  conincidence? or am I missing something fundamental here?  Ive only just realised this is occuring. The trouble is, after moving images to folders/hard drives I  subsequently delete them from iphoto to keep my macbook airs HDD with some space.  So basically all of the versions of pictures I want, i.e, the new edited and adjusted versions are no longer! NOT HANDY!
      help please.

    We've seen a few reports of this in the past while and no one is sure of the cause.
    Use the File -> Export command. See this User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    for details of the options the Export Dialogue offers.
    If you're interested in your Photos then this workflow
    The trouble is, after moving images to folders/hard drives I  subsequently delete them from iphoto to keep my macbook airs HDD with some space.
    means you are losing quality, metadata and the version of control. If you don't want these why use iPhoto at all?
    You could just move the whole Library to an external:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • Why does iPhoto not recognize the .jpg pics from a Kodak C875 now? I can stick my memory card in the iMac and import them that way, but iPhoto will not import the pics from the camera.

    Why does iPhoto not recognize the .jpg pics from a Kodak C875 now? I can stick my memory card in the iMac and import them that way, but iPhoto will not import the pics from the camera.

    There have been many issues reported with Kodak cameras - serach the forums for them
    Actually the best practise is to use a card reader to import your photos, verify that they are imported ocrrectly and wait at least one backup cycle and then use the camera's format command to reformat the card and erase it - this assures no lost photos and always having the card properly formatted

  • Why does google start up but when i try to access a web page it shuts off

    why does google start up but when i try to access a web page it shuts off

    Not entirely sure what you mean, but if you are saying that the Safari screen is frozen/inactive then try clearing its cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data (Clear Cache on iOS 4) and also Clear History
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

    put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

    i just purchased a file that had videos in it. i put them in the itunes library on my pc where i first downloaded them. i was able to transfer them to my other pc, a laptop, through my home network. i am now trying to get them on my mac pro desktop and my ipad2. my mac pro can see the other computers on my home network but i cannot get it to connect to them. i know the operating systems are different but was hoping i could transfer pictures and files from pc to mac this way. haven't been able to get it to work yet. the videos i am trying to get my mac to see came in a folder with both mac and pc versions. i thought if i got the videos i purchased into itunes that i would then be able to get them to my mac pro and my ipad2. i am new to mac/apple and have always been pc-centric so trying to marry it all has been difficult. i speak pc pretty well but am just learning apple. am i trying to do things that are not possible? i sure could use a knowledgable friendly soul to walk me through my issues of having pc and mac on the same network. i have been able to get all computers and ipad to print on my network. thanks.

  • HT204406 I have subscribed to match on iTunes and organized my music on my Mac Book.  Why does it not appear the same way on my iPad

    I would like my music to appear organized in the same way on my iPad as I have done it on my Mac Book.  (and on my iPhone as well)  Since it is in the cloud, why does it not appear the same way in all devices?

    The purpose of iTunes match is to make your music library available to all of your devices anywhere. It will sync Playlists, but no other type of organization you may have made.
    If you're having trouble, be sure you are logged into the same Apple ID on all devices but be sure to read this article and pay special attention to associating your devices with an Apple ID. There are important restrictions you should know about.
