Why so big the delay in FMS3?

Hello Community,
I have been using a service of FMS 3 for a week and I have
notice a BIG delay between the audio/video in the player and the
source of information from the computer. We are talking about
something like for example: You are playing Live a playlist of
songs and the user(Web Browser) is listening to x song but the
computer already played that song 15 minutes ago.
If we talk about video is the same problem. I already did my
test before submit this post.
The thing is that the previous system is using Windows Media
and this is not happening.
This happen in our first test using Satellite Internet and
also using Comcast 1.5 Mps Internet. So I don't what you think
anymore.
If someone know at least what I need to do I will really
appreciate the help.
Cheers,
Peter

This is a tough one. One thing to look at is the client side
buffers and server side buffers. A live stream usually drops data
to "catch up" to streamtime - buffers size allocated so Im not sure
how a song can be playing from 15 min ago...
Are the users that connect up rebuffering alot?
When troubleshooting try to find the least common
denominator; see if accessing the stream on the same network is an
issue. If it's successful, keep moving further away to determine
what point the bottleneck lies in your network.

Why do Orange and EE blame Apple for the delays in unlocking my iPhone. 10 months now. What is the exact process that these companies have to go through to unlock an iPhone and is Apple in any way to blame for the delays.
Indeed how long does Apple take to carry out its part of the process.
It seems to me that Orange are just trying to stall me despite the fact that I am out of contract with them now. I originally paid to have the phone unlocked back last November. This was never done.
I have phoned them numerous times over the last two months but still they haven't done it. Can anyone advise me and has anyone had similar problems with them.
Thanks

I certainly understand that only Orange can unlock my phone. My annoyance is that they blame Apple so I am keen to know what exactly is Apple's involvement.
I presume that Orange have to tell Apple that the phone has been authorised for unlocking by Orange and that Apple then notes that in some way on iTunes so that the user can then complete the process on iTunes.
What I would like to know is how much time Apples part in this process takes.
I would also like to make contact with others who have had similar problems.
Many thanks

Why does the delay in an applescript editor increase by itself?...***

so im trying to write myself a (very simple) auto typer for an mmorpg i play. i found a script for such an application on http://www.sythe.org/archives/438387-how-make-your-own-mac-auto-typer.html and proceeded to edit it for myself. the problem im having is that the delay is set to 3 for every line, but for **** sake, it just keeps slowing down after about a dozen lines. i have tried shortening the application to only 10 lines, and then clicking the continue button, but upon clicking the continue button it simply keeps upping the delay... WHY THE **** MUST YOUR EDITOR NOT WORK APPLE?!?!?!?!?!
and when i had the application set to do about 30 lines, again the frequency of the typing would significantly decrease after it typed my message about a dozen times. my script is as follows:
tell application "System Events"
          set texttosay to "Sample Text"
display dialog "Text to say:" default answer ""
          set texttosay to the text returned of the result
          repeat
                    activate application "Old School RuneScape"
keystroke texttosay
keystroke return
delay 3
keystroke texttosay
keystroke return

keystroke return

keystroke texttosay
keystroke return
                    display dialog the "Do you want to quit?" buttons {"Continue", "Quit"} default button 1
                    if the button returned of the result is "Quit" then
                              exit repeat
                    end if
          end repeat
end tell

try it this way: save the following as an application (not as a script) and run it.
property texttosay : "Sample Text"
on run
display dialog "Text to say:" default answer ""
          set texttosay to the text returned of the result
end run
on idle
          tell application "System Events"
                    if frontmost of process "Old School RuneScape" is false then
                              set frontmost of process "Old School RuneScape" to true
                    end if
keystroke texttosay
keystroke return
                    return 3
          end tell
end idle
this solves a couple of problems:
it keeps the script from constantly trying to activate the OSR app
there's no context shift from system events to OSR; the app is activated by system events itself
is removes the delay commands and replaces them with a 3 second idle loop. an idle loop puts the app to sleep while a delay command merely halts the execution of the script. the former is much more efficient fromt he processor's perspective.

Why ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor is not respecting the delay?

I have a Customized implementation for ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor using which I am trying to execute a task for continuous execution. The problem I have faced here with the implementation is, some tasks executed continuously where as two of them are not respecting the delay and executed continuously.

Why won't the messages stop?!?

I was woken at 0331 this-morning by a message from Telstra telling me that I have used 50% of my data allowance. There was a second, identical message at 0430. A third message at 0526, at which stage I angrily logged in to my account and turned notifications off. Despite turning notifications off, the messages have continued to arrive on my phone; at 0557, 0635, 0720, and the latest at 0744. I'm getting really, really pissed-off now, Telstra, for two reasons: 1. Why the hell does your system send people messages at 3.30a.m.? In what universe is that even possibly acceptable? It's not an emergency, it's a data-usage notification, and it is unbelievably inconsiderate to be sending people messages like that in the middle of the bloody night. 2. Why the hell haven't the messages stopped since I turned off the notifications? I shall await a reply, and I do hope said reply is more helpful than the robo-script replies I got from Telstra's email contact a few weeks ago when I had the same problem of SMS notifications arriving in the middle of the night! Totally unsatisfactory, Telstra.

Well I am not 100% sure how it works however let’s say you were using data last night and you went through 50%, 75% and then 100% of your data. 5 hours later in the middle of the night it sends you a 50% data usage message, 5 minutes after that it sends you a 75% usage message and so on and so forth. It’s not an ideal system because of the delay however I guess if you weren’t to get the messages people would be unhappy about that as well. The delay in the usage is the problem.

i dont understand why every other season is available on itunes except the last season.

Sorry, but we're all just fellow users here and have no more information as to the reason for the delay than you do.

Why is Start Trigger Delay not applicable?

Hardware: PCI 6602
Driver: DAQmx 7.4
Programming Environment: ANSI C
Hello All,
I'm setting up a counter output pulse generation task which is to have a start trigger. To be specific, it is a digital edge start trigger (not an arm start trigger) which I plan to use in retriggerable mode so as to get a single output pulse of specified width for every trigger edge. Currently I'm baffled as to why the Start Trigger Delay and Start Trigger Delay Units properties do not seem to apply - whenever I try to access them I get an error message saying they're not applicable to the task. The other properties of interest - Source Terminal, Active Edge, and Retriggerable - can be accessed and modified without any problems. I don't actually need the delay but am curious to know why it doesn't apply in this case. Thanks in advance.
Jeff

Hey Jeff-
You will need to make sure that you don't stop the task at any point after the first generation. Most of the examples use DAQmxWaitUntilTaskDone() to wait for a single iteration, but in your case you want to run through several iterations of the task. So, you will want to enter a loop after starting to ensure that the task continues to run in the background on the hardware. I modified the single pulse DAQmx shipping example to include digital retriggerable start triggering. The empty loop spinning is obviously not ideal, so I'll leave you the choice to implement that as necessary.
Since you're working with retriggerable single pulses, you may also want to be aware of the information in this KB.
Hopefully this helps-

Why don't the photos load properly

When i scroll through my photos in my library (in loop mode) why don't the photos load properly and the photos still blurred?

LR may not have rendered the necessary previews yet.
Did you render only minimal previews in your import settings?
How big have you specified your standard previews in your preferences? It should match the screen you are mostly using for image viewing.
Then you can invoke the command to let LR render standard previews from the Library. LR will first scan how many previews it already has, then actually create the missing ones.

Why isn't the book I want available for up to months after it's release date on iBooks?

I know of 3 different authors who have released books (one 3 months ago, the others at least 2 weeks ago) and they are still not available on iBooks. Why? What's the delay?
It's getting so irritating that authors and publishers have a 'release date' but because I don't want my library spread out over various different apps and accounts, I'm behind on getting to read SO many books, some literally by months, because of something that seems to be iBooks' issue.
I know it's a first world problem, but it's really driving me insane!

I think you need to contact the publishers to find out why they have not yet provided their material to Apple.
Nobody here can tell you why something is not in the iBookstore, but you can give Apple your views at
http://www.apple.com/feedback
The only fix for your problem is really to use another store.

WHAT IS THE DELAY??

I have recently moved into a new build house whereby the Developers assured me that the phoneline and broadband lines are all in place and ready to be connected by an BT Openreach engineer. 2 months prior to moving in we arranged a phone and broadband package and had a scheduled date and even a time slot for the engineer to come round. HOWEVER 2 days before the scheduled visit we got a call to say that there were delays but no other reason could be given! And that we would get a courtesy call in 7 days time for an update. This to me is completely unacceptable. I work from home so it was always my number one concern (even before getting the TV up and running) to get a phone line and broadband working. I understand that sometimes delays come about but to not even give an explanation as to why there is a delay I honestly cannot comprehend. BT have basically just fobbed us off and there seems like there is nothing we can do - even trying to talk to someone on the phone is a mission in itself. BT customer services are non existent and even if nothing comes of this forum message it has managed to relieve a tiny bit of stress! If anyone has any ideas of why/how/when please let me know... We are based in the Tonbridge area.

Hi R_Fletcher,
Thanks for posting, we can check this with Openreach to find out the reason for the delay. Please use the 'contact the mods' link in my forum profile under the 'about me' section to send in your order details. You can find the link by clicking on my username.

Is it to hard for this ? Why not consider the olde...

Why can't the phone makers and provider have a simple cell phone were it does just that only , not having all these extra features you have now a days with cell phone . It seem all the phome makers and providers only care for the younger generation and not so much for the older . WE older generation don't care for texting or internet on the cell phone . All we care for is a cell phone were we can talk to whom ever , that is it . Can't you makers and providers have a simple cell phone were the numbers are nice size to see and use and not have all the extra . When you get older its harder to see things . Think about us too and you might be surprise as to how many older folks would have a cell phone . Keep it simple is best for us .
Thank you .

You can get a simple Nokia like the 1661 for as cheap as a fiver on pay as you go. They are easy to use - my parents have something similar. There will probably always be a few more features than you want because others on a tight budget will want a basic phone with what most now consider standard features. But at that price, you just ignore the features you don't need. Even though you're not into texting, it's good to have the option to send and receive a text - say for example, someone you know is abroad and that's the more convenient way to communicate and avoid the big roaming charges. Someone could help you in those circumstances.
You have to put up with the punks at the Carphone Warehouse sniffing, snorting and shaking their heads - but that's small price to pay.. almost as small as the price of the handset!

Why doesn't the Macbook Pro's battery life last?

Why doesn't the Macbook Pro's battery life last anywhere near 5 hours, as advertised? This is my second one and it lasts 2. It's false advertising, and Apple doesn't seem to making a big deal or know anything about it, which i'm sure they do. Since their general practice is to deny problems exist in all their products, i'm here to make it known that the most recent Macbook Pro has a severe battery issue and it needs to be addressed.
I'm running OS X 10.8.3, Bluetooth is off, and haven't installed any third party software.

My MacBook Pro is over a year old and still gets 2.5 to 5 hours, depending on how intensively my application activity is hitting the CPU and disk. Remember that battery life depends on usage and component loads. You could get 1 hour editing HD video since it would hit all cores and slam the disk constantly, or 8 hours in a cabin in the woods with wifi and Bluetooth turned off, only writing text files, and with the backlight turned down and no disc in the drive. You should check Activity Monitor to make sure you don't have some processes using unusually high amounts of CPU for long periods of time (like browser tabs running Flash ads in the background, chewing up CPU and battery power without even being seen).
Like mende1 says, there are not huge numbers of Mac users getting only 2 hours, or the world would have heard about it by now and MacBook sales would be down. If you are only getting 2 hours there is something going on local to your machine or usage habits.

That's not strictly true. Apple has often announced updates or repair/exchange programs to address various problems that had come up over time. Maybe not always, but it does happen. They also have often helped me and my friends when we brought in Macs that were out of warranty and had problems. They had no legal obligation to work on our Macs for free, but they did anyway.

IPhone 4s Voice Memo App has 5 second delay when the record button is pressed. When it starts recording, it goes from 0 seconds to 5 or so seconds recorded. This happens randomly and often and sometimes has the delay but starts at zero. Solution Anyone?

After iOS 7 update, my iPhone 4s Voice Memo App has 5 second delay when the record button is pressed. When it starts recording, it goes from 0 seconds to 5 or so seconds that it shows has recorded. This happens randomly and often, sometimes it will have the 5+ second delay but starts recording at zero seconds. Besides the delay it has been working fine as far as saving and playback is concerned. I have plenty of storage on the phone itself and it NEVER had this problem before I updated to iOS 7. I've reset the phone a couple times by holding down the power and home buttons at the same time. The reason I have an issue with this is that I'm always recording song ideas, melodies, and scratch takes; what I'm saying is when I come up with an idea I need to be able to know that when I hit record it will start right then so I don't forget anything that has just popped in my mind.
Does anyone have a solution or suggestion?
Thanks
