Working in the background

Hello, I have an important question. I am currently developing an application that needs to work on a certain task for a very long while. What I want to do is to make the application work on this task but in the background so that it won't interfere with the user's other processes. Is this possible?
With Thanks,
laginimaineb.

I'm sorry but I probably didn't explain myself well. What I meant is that this process takes all CPU usage, so I would like it to run in the background, using less resources and running slower but by doing so allowing the user to perform other tasks in the meanwhile.
With Thanks,
laginimaineb.

Very few apps run in the background. Those that do should have a way to stop them from within the app.

Need help with working in the background while doing a presentation

Hi guys,
I wanted to know if my MBP had a way to let me do a presentation, where on my screen I could tell it to present what I wanted it to present rather than showing every single move that I would make. If for instance, I were to open an app for looking up something to present, I wouldn't want people to see that action, but rather the things that I would put on a special window or virtual place created just for that.
Maybe there's an app that will let me do this? What happens to me know is that when I connect the MBP to the data show presenter, everything I do gets displayed on the big screen on the wall. I want to work in the background without people seeing that. Please help. Thanks.

The system software makes it about as easy as possible. Press fn+F7 (the pictographic mnemonic on the F7 kety is two overlapping rectangles). This will toggle the display mode between mirroring (same image on internal and external display) and spanning (each display independently contributing to the total viewable area).
As a bonus when using Keynote (the presentation software from iWork) in a dual-screen configuration, you get one display showing the presentation and the other showing you context (the upcoming slide) and a timer. Check out the demo included with you MacBook.

How can I get my renders to work in the background?

Hi,
I installed After Effects pretty much without changing anything, so the settings are more or less default.
I'm using a Macbook Pro with OS 10.6.8 and After Effects CS6
I have enabled media and disk cache, max disc cache is at 100GB and I have an external drive (with 900GB spare) as the volume selected beneath that option. My internal SSD has not much spare on it. I previously had the internal SSD as the disc cache and still had this same problem.
My project is 1920 x 1080 25fps - And I'm trying to render to Quicktime. I've tried rendering to stills and then outputting to Quicktime (so as to have less computational effort), then running them through but the same problem persists.
If After Effects is the application in focus the project renders fine.
If After Effects is not the application in focus - ie. I work with it rendering in the background, the 'FINISHED' sound plays and the render is cut short a short while after I started working in another program.
The project render time is about an hour, so it's not really convenient.
I've googled extensively and posted this here before and no solution.
Please help.
Toby
ps. ADOBE: Don't mean to be rude, but is there some fix for this text entry box where the cursor randomly jumps to a previous line? - still broken guys!

Hi Todd,
Thanks, I've now installed the updates. Unfortunately the problem persists and furthermore, AME does not go the distance with rendering the full project, dropping the process after around the 5-8% mark (on first and second try).
I can render the project successfully if AE is left unattended in the 'foreground'
Please find attached screengrabs of my system profile and current AE settings (Disk and Cache settings were changed recently from having 100GB disk cache on external USB3 drive - still same behaviour).
I notice there is no error log produced from AE as it seems to think the render is successfully completed. Please advise if I can produce a log to help troubleshoot this problem, as it seems AME does not provide a workaround.
Thanks in advance.

CUO1 - BDC not working in the background.

Hello Experts,
We are trying to create dependencies using CU01, when we recorded through LSMW we have got an error saying *for type c' lenght can be from 1 to 65535, ( * caution message arised in the field mapping step)*
we went on with a work around with a BDC, while recording we didn't find any errors,also when processing the recording the system doesn't throw any status message.
After creating a ABAP program with the recording, we are seeing the status message when we run them in the "A" all screen mode when we press enter it is able to create the dependency however the BDC is not able to run in the background throwing with the same status message ($ it is not a screen field).
thanks
Venkat

When running in the mode 'A', the navigation should only be through the ok_code pop up and not by pressing enter. If you had to navigate to the next screen only by hitting the enter manually, there is a problem with the recording. Try to re-run the recording else manually add the code for the enter function with reference to a correct recording.

Youtube Autoplay not working in the background!

Why isn't autoplay of youtube videos not running in the background of Safari? It works fine in Firefox or Chrome, but in Safari, everytime a video is done, I have to make the youtube tab active for it to start playing the next video in the playlist. I'm pretty sure this is a bug in Safari and has not been fixed for a long long time.. Is there a way to get this working? Any extensions? Please help.

Hi, I have encountered the same problem when the youtube page is running on a background tab in safari. However, I find a alternative way to deal with this bug. I just draw that youtube tab out of safari to make it running in a seperate safari window without any other tabs in this window. In this way, it can autoplay the next video when it running background.
Hope this also works for you.

GT 70 2PC - HDD working in the background/display issue

Hi guys,
I experienced 2 strange problems with my MSI GT70 2PC Dominator:
First of all, after installing my SSD and fresh installation of Win 7, the HDD still is to hear(led is indicating it as well) while booting the system. Is it normal that the HDD is still doing some actions in background?
Moreover, after connecting my screen with DisplayPortCable, I chose an option to only use my external display. However after choosing this option, the laptop's screen seems like it's still iluminated (yeah, it's black, but iluminated). The only aid is to switch from the external to laptop display and back again to ext. screen. Is there any fix for that?

Hello xaero18,
Storage activity LED is indicating when any storage devices are working, including the SSD, but excluding the ODD.
I've borrowed a GT70 2PE (880M though) and tested the DP output, but can't replicate your problem. Maybe you can try to update your video BIOS to see if it will resolve the problem. Download it from MSI website: http://www.msi.com/support/nb/GT70-2PC-Dominator.html#down-firmware
I'll also test this if I could find any 870M card later.

Working in the background and Displaying an image on top of everything

Hi,
I have two question
1-) How can I implement a program which would run in the background. For example while I am writing a document, my program will print the entered keys on the console.

AppleScript works in the background but UI hangs

When I run this AppleScript http://crystal-objects.com/blogs/frank/aperture_import_action_scripts091511 with OS X Version 10.8.4 and Aperture 3.4.5 the AppleScript Editor GUI hangs displaying multi-coloured spinning disc but the script itself seems to be working with Aperture open I can see the files moving into the new folder structure. The "problem" I am trying to solve with the AppleScript is described here https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3321103?start=0&tstart=0 but I have come to this forum for help diagnosing this hanging issue in the script. Any ideas?

Neville
Also the script could be simplified by using the following to create folders if they don't exist for populating with timed files:
do shell script "d=~/Desktop/pic/; mkdir -p $d; f=$d`date +%y%m%d%H%M%S`.png"
the script is creating folders inside of an Aperture library. Thise are not Finder folders and your suggestion will not work.

INSTRUCTIONS:
Try and force the iOS device into Recovery Mode:
1. Turn off device
2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to device
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune
7. You should see "iTunes has detected the device in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore device
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your device

Ubuntu 10.11 through 10.04. Installed Flash-Aid 2.2.1. If multiple Firefox windows open any attempt to shut a one window, extinguish all windows. But they stay in the background to work invisible.

''After installed ubuntu 10.11 through 10.04, whenever you try to close a window of Firefox, they close all that were open, but only become invisible and continue to work somewhere in the background. If you see a pop-up as the new window and if I want to close it on an simple button "X" then they are all close.
After killing over Terminal and restarts a firefox window, re-engage all windows that have been worked in the background but they are now visible. And again it is impossible to kill only one windows. Help !!!!!!!!

In case anyone reads this, I managed to burn my CD by changing the speed of the burn in iTunes. It was set on Maximum possible and I noticed from the CD Diagnostic report (see previous article) that the speed of the drive was listed as 16, but the burn had failed at 24x, so I reduced it to 12 to be safe, and it worked. It plays okay in the car but I have noticed that when I restart the player, it doesn't seem to recognise the CD and ejects it so that I have to push it back in, and it then starts at track 1 again. Not sure if this is to do with the way it was burned, but at least its playing the tracks!

When I excute the same program in the foreground, Attachment in the mail is showing all the pages of the report output.
But when I excute the same program in the background only last page is shown in the mail attachemnt.
I think the problem is with the function module SAVE_LIST function module.
I replaced the SAVE_LIST function module with LIST_TO_MEMORY and LIST_FROM_MEMORY function modules.
It is also giving the same result.
In the foreground excution email attachemnt showing all the pages and in the background excution only last page is shown in the attachemnt.
I want all the pages dispalyed in the background mode excution in the email attachment.
How to slove this issue.
Thanks in advance.
