  • ESXi 6 fails/becomes unresponsive when attempting to create Datastore on OCZ SSD

    I am trying to bring a Mac Mini 5,3 online with vSphere 6.  The system originally came with two 500GB 7.2kRPM drives, and I swapped one with a brand new OCZ ARC100-25SAT3-480G SSD.  I am booting from a SanDisk 64GB USB plugged into the back.
    I brought the system online, added it to my vCenter, created a new datastore using the remaining 7200RPM drive, and all was well up to that point.  As soon as I attempt to create a new datastore on the OCZ drive, the host becomes unresponsive to either vCenter or the old thick client.  At the console I am still able to log in and look at the logs but that is about it, and it will even hang if I attempt a restart from the console so I have to manually power cycle it. If I leave it running, after a very long time (more than 10 minutes) the thick client will eventually throw the following useless error:
    Call "HostDatastoreSystem.CreateVmfsDatastore" for object "ha-datastoresystem" on ESXi "octo" failed.
    So I tried using partedUtil to remove partitions and do it again, with no change as soon as I tried to create the datastore (UI becomes unresponsive). Then I booted the machine using an external drive with OS X 10.10.3 on it and tried partitioning the drive MBR/FAT32, wrote and read a few files to make sure the drive actually seemed to work, and booted it back on on vSphere 6.  When I attempted to create a Datastore again, I still got the same behavior.
    After a reboot, this is what partedUtil reports for the disk:
    partedUtil get /dev/disks/t10.ATA_____OCZ2DARC100______________________________A22L2061437000076___
    58369 255 63 937703088
    1 2048 937697984 0 0

    Doesn't work, in fact ESXi seems to just hate this disk.  Since my original post, I've tried a few more things.
    First, I tried to use both partedUtil and disk to delete the partition on the drive.  This does not work.
    partedUtil delete /vmfs/devices/disks/t10.ATA_____OCZ2DARC100______________________________A22L2061437000076___ 1
    Error: Read-only file system during write on /dev/disks/t10.ATA_____OCZ2DARC100______________________________A22L2061437000076___
    Unable to delete partition 1 from device /vmfs/devices/disks/t10.ATA_____OCZ2DARC100______________________________A22L2061437000076___
    So I yanked the drive out, which is not trivial on a Mac Mini, and attached it to a windows box, then used diskpart to run the clean command on it.  I stuck back in the Mac Mini and had the same freezing and uselessness.  So I thought I'd try a different system.  I have an older SuperMicro X8SIL system in the rack that was easy to pop the top off of and hot insert the drive after another round using clean with diskpart.  After refreshing the storage controllers, the X8SIL machine saw it, so I told it to try to partition the device, and I got the exact same behavior.  Since this machine has a disk activity light, I can see that the disk light is pegged on.

  • Adobe Reader becomes unresponsive when loading a PDF on a network with redirected user data.

    I have a client with redirected user data, including application data, that is experiencing poor performance of Adobe Reader when trying to view PDF's. They are not using roaming profiles but do have redirected user data and documents on a server. One of the client's sites has direct file access to the domain with a small network pipe of 20MB. I expect the slow load of the PDF's but not the actual "application is unresponsive" behavior. If you wait for 10-15 minutes, then it seems to behave okay.
    I know that previous versions of adobe reader had problems with redirected data. Here are a couple of the threads I found talking about this issue.
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/754379
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/391738
    Does anyone know the official adobe word on their minimum recommended bandwidth requirements for redirected data? Do they not support redirection at all? I have tested Adobe 9,10 and 11 with the same problems.  Local files still have problems with redirected user data but local users with local files have no problem. Alternate PDF programs still take time to load the file over the network but do not seem to have the application hang problems. Any ideas or suggestions?

    in AS2, use getURL("data/pdf/nameoffile.pdf",

I encountered the same exact problem when I attempted to re-installed OSX Lion on an old laptop. The date was set back in 2000, which rendered the certificate obsolete. Here's how I fixed it:
From the recovery menu, select the Terminal application. Run the 'date' command to confirm the date is wrong, then set the correct date using this command: date {month}{day}{hour}{minute}{year}
e.g. date 1219195613
Exit terminal (type exit). Retry the installation.

  • Why does the Yosemite Finder become unresponsive when moving a file within my USB Flash stick?

    Why does the Yosemite Finder become unresponsive when moving a file within my USB Flash stick? I have to Relaunch the Finder to get it working again.
    Background / other symptoms:
    The Flash drive in question has been formatted HFS.
    I get no error messages, including on the Console, and no sound indicators.
    I can copy files, using the Finder, from a hard-drive to the usb flash drive with no problem.
    Finder copying on this stick works just fine on my other Mac.
    I can move files within another (FAT32-formatted) USB flash drive.
    The quirky USB HFS Flash drive works fine on my other Mac.
    Outside of the Finder, I can use mv just fine to move the files on the HFS flash drive.
    If the HFS-formatted Flash drive were faulty, I would at least expect some sort of error in the Console app, but perhaps not from the Finder.

  • ITunes freezes and becomes unresponsive when I plug in my iPad.

      I have Windows 7, and iTunes works perfectly fine, until I plug in my iPad or any device (I have a iPod touch 4 generation and iPhone 4s). The second I plug in my iPad, iTunes completely freezes and becomes unresponsive. It also becomes unresponsive when I try to go to Preferences. I have to go to task manager to force iTunes to close, but if I unplugged my iPad, iTunes becomes responsive after a couple minutes.
         I have researched this problem multiple times, and it seems several others are experiencing the same problem. I have tried their suggested advice, and it did not work for me. I have tried many methods to solving the solution, but it freezes up so quickly I can't even access my iPad on iTunes to ensure that it won't sync automatically. I have also tried holding Ctrl+Shift when plugging it in because iTunes said that way it won't sync automatically. This, however, does not work. iTunes is beginning to become very frustrating. I just really need any advice that will allow me to sync my device ASAP.
         I understand there must be some sort of bug in the latest version of iTunes (I also have the latest version of iOS on my iPad and iPhone), but if anyone has any advice as to how to get around this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  • Process file becomes unresponsive when run on Lookout 6.7

    Hi,
    The attached process file was developed using Lookout 6.1 which ran on a windows vista computer.  That setup ran flawlessly for many years until the computer started having problems.  I recommended that a new W7 computer be put into service to run the process.  After many attempts, Lookout 6.1 refused to install properly on the W7 computer (sql server service pack upgrade problem).  Anyway, I then recommended upgrading to the newest Lookout, which turned out to be Lookout 6.7.  While the purchase of software and hardware was underway, I pulled a W7 32bit computer with Lookout 6.6 out of its normal duty to run this process and it ran flawlessly.  Lookout 6.7 arrived and was installed in a new W7 32bit computer.  The process loads into 6.7 okay but after a while, Lookout 6.7 becomes unresponsive.  I've tried to figure out why it runs on 6.6 but not 6.7 but haven't been able to narrow it down.  I'm hoping someone can test the process to see if they have a similar experiece.  Any help or ideas would be appreciated.  p.s. the process will look kind of messy because you won't have some of my graphic images.
    Regards,
    Joe C.

  • Flash Builder 4.7 becomes unresponsive when trying to add 5-6 source folder under Flex build Path

    Hi,
    I am facing issue with Flash Builder 4.7.
    Whenever I am trying to open any mxml or .as file after project setup, flash Builder 4.7 becomes unresponsive without showing any error message or popup.
    At the initial project setup, I am able to open file but when I try adding 5-6 source folder under Flex build path->source path, it’s become unresponsive.
    Everything works fine in Flash builder 4.6, but I have license key only for flash builder 4.7 and want to use Flash Builder 4.7.
    Please help me to solve this issue.

    Fixed: In Project prefs: Flex Build path: added the similar swc folder called "local" from FB 4.6 eclipse/plugins directory and removed the 4.7 one.
    For some reason the 4.7  eclipse/plugins/com.adobe.flexbuilder.project_4.7.0.345990/dcradS wcs/4.5/locale folder has localisation folders in it and not swc's like in FB 4.6..

  • Sometimes my keyboard becomes unresponsive when using Photoshop CS6, & I have to restart

    Since I upgraded to Photoshop CS6, I've found that every once in a while the keyboard becomes unresponsive.  I can't tell whether anything specific that I'm doing triggers it, but I'll be editing an image and will press a shortcut key and find it doesn't work. It doesn't happen when I first open up an image, but usually after I've been working for a while. As far as I can tell (it's pretty random) it seems to happen when I'm using a tool to apply an effect to an image, like this last time it happened when I'd been using the Spot Healing Brush repeatedly on a photograph. (Of course that could be correlation without causality, since I'm a big fan of the Spot Healing Brush and tend to use it quite a bit whenever I'm editing photos). Note that the modifier keys still function, but all of the letter and number keys are unresponsive.
    Sometimes - and lately it seems like it happens always, there's a sound associated with the shut off.  It's possible that the times I didn't hear the sound I had my speakers off.  It's a brief clicking noise - and I don't think it's any of the built-in alert sounds on my Mac, since I just listened to all of them and I recall this sound being different - but the sound is definitely coming from my speakers and is not a mechanical sound from the machine.  I have no idea what might be causing this. I saw someone complaining of this a couple of years ago, who thought it might have to do with a Wacom tablet. I own one, but don't always use it, and this happens even when I'm not using it.  The only way I've found to get my keyboard responding again is to shut down Photoshop and restart.
    I'm on a Macbook Pro, 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7, with 8GB Ram; I'm on OS X 10.7.4 (not quite ready to upgrade to Mountain Lion).

    Okay - it looks like I've solved my own problem after a few hours searching for related problems on the web.  It's not a problem with Photoshop but with Mac OS X.  The default "Universal Access" mouse and trackpad preferences were set to "Press the Option Key five times to turn Mouse Keys On or Off." So when I use a tool that I'm modifying with the option key, and I use it repeatedly five times in a row, I hear the clicking sound that means turn on "Mouse Keys" (and turn off the regular keys). Turn off that option, and the problem is solved!

  • Itunes becomes unresponsive when trying to burn a cd

    I have been using Itunes for the past 3 years and now all the sudden when I try to burn a cd itunes beocmes unresponsive and I have to reboot. When I go to burn and insert the cd it tells me checking media and then becomes unresponsive. I have downloaded the latest version of Itunes and checked all the setting suggested in the online help. Any ideals?

    something about unchecking "include cd text" or "write text to cd". i had this same problem. hope that helps.

  • InDesign becomes unresponsive when editing text off the network. Techs are flummoxed!

    Recently my InDesign (CS6 running on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, 8gb ram) has become almost totally unresponsive when I go to open and edit a file off the company network. Our techs have no idea what is going on and are considering having to re-build my profile as a last resort as we have tried everything else.
    A bit more of a descriptoin of the problem: When I go to edit an InDesign file off the server it first takes longer than normal to load but eventually does. You can scroll up and down the pages, move and resize boxes, place new pictures but as soon as you try to do anything text based (edit new text or make a new text box) the whole program freezes to the point you have to task manager out and kill it. It is not a corupt file because if I copy the file directory with all links over on to my computers local hard disk the file works totally fine it is only when editing over the network and when edouble clicking to edit text.
    What we have done to try and fix the problem:
    Reinstal InDesign - No effect
    Cleared the preferences (shift + ctrl + alt + windows key on InDesign startup) - No effect
    Our techs have tried editing my profile registry to no avail and we are all compleatly at a loss to what is going on. There are several other instances of the program across the company (mainly versions 5.5 and one other 6) and they all work fine editing files straight off the network.
    Anyone have any idea what it could be, such a specific problem being only when it is editing text based areas? The techs dont want to have to re-build my profile as it is a lot of back end work to do to be able to re-instate it straight away.
    Many thanks in advance for any insights into the issue

    So we have finally fixed the issue and are currently cracking out the bubbly!
    It turned out to be the network path shotcut I was using to access the shared drive where I was editing the files from. I work for a restaurant so we have a shared drive where each site can access their files, this is where the food menu files reside and I had created a shortcut that, although accessed the correct area did it using a path which had a double backslash in it.
    The true path for the shared drive is  \\hm\mydocs\restaurant\menufile.indd and this is the shortcut I was using to open the file up from. For all other files like Word, Excel, even other Adobe programs like PSE10, and Lightroom it seems to work fine. For some reason InDesign does not like this path with the double backslash in. As soon as I changed the shortcut path to just m:\ (the letter of the shared drive on the network) everything was working again and we can all sleep, it was driving us mental. Re-installed windows, InDesign created a new network user profile the works.
    I hope this may help someone else in a similar situation in the future

  • ITunes becomes unresponsive when tracks added to playlist

    I've had trouble with iTunes (10.3.1) for a long time. When I add tracks to a playlist iTunes often becomes unresponsive for a few minutes, even if it's just a couple of short tracks (mp3s), and sometimes it doesn't recover and has to be forced quit.
    I have the Sound Check option unchecked. My library is around 49,000 tracks.
    Any ideas?

  • ITunes becomes unresponsive when laptop sleeps

    I am running windows with the latest version of iTunes (10.2.1.1) and the problem is that iTunes will become unresponsive if I have iTunes open and then I close the lid of my laptop to sleep. When I open the lid the task manager will show iTunes as "Not Responding" so I have to terminate the process.
    This became an issue in the latest updates and was also an issue in older verions of iTunes too. I am running windows 7 64 bit

    I had to change my laptop's setting when I have my external hard drive connected. The exHD has all my song files on it. It was taking too long to wake up after opening the lid.
    So, go into the laptop's power option and try different things. Another option (not a fun one) is close itunes before shutting the lid.

  • Safari becomes unresponsive when clicking on a link from facebook.

    Early 2011 Macbook Pro, 13" OS X ver. 10.6.8 Processor: 2.3 GHZ Intel Core i5 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 Safari Version 5.1.10 (6534.59.10)
    While in Safari, especially using facebook, when I click on a link to see a video the computer gets warm and the fan kicks into high gear. The video gets all sluggish or sometimes won't play and the page responds slowly sometimes becoming unresponsive. Even if I only have one window open, and also when I have multiple windows opened. The spinning pizza of death appears regularly. What can I do to resolve this?

    Hi videowave,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that when clicking on some links, your computer does not respond as quickly as you would expect. In this situation, I would recommend reading over and working through the suggested steps located in the attached article.

  • Optical drive becomes unresponsive when burning media to a disc

    When I try to burn an iTunes playlist to a blank disc, the optical drive becomes unresponsive and heats up. Instead of burning media to the disc, the progress bar in the iTunes window becomes stuck on "Burning disc.....Initializing". The optical drive only settles down when the disc is "force ejected". Anyone else having similar trouble? Any help and tips are greatly appreciated.

    Your best option is an appointment at an Apple store genius bar.  Demonstrate the problem to the technician and they should be able to determine if there is a serious problem or not.
