Hi All
The following error was encountered by a printer who has opened a supplied PDF in Acrobat, Saved it as a postscript and then run it through distiller server 6. Can anyone tell me what this error means and what sort of things can cause it?

Can anyone tell me what this Error Code is??

I just recently started having my computer go to sleep on me every so many seconds out of nowhere and i have tried everything i know of to fix it. I ran the apple hardware test and got this error..
4mot/1/400000002: CPU-0
can anybody tell me what this means?????

Just FYI, a 4MOT error code indicates a problem with one of the fans. My guess is that the CPU fan has failed and the CPU is overheating. A trip to the Apple Store is definitely called for.
Regards.

Can anyone tell me what this messsage means and how to fix it?

I use CS3 to prepare a black and white newsletter for our village onmy MAC and frequently change colour photos to greyscale. However when printing on my HP Colour Laserjet 2550L the photo shows as a dark green colour. I've tried everything imaginable, new drivers etc. but still get the green print instead of greyscale.
The ColorSync Utility had just appeared on my desktop with the following message:
Searching for profiles...
Checking 54 profiles...
/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/EW-sRGB
   Tag 'desc': Tag size is not correct. Could not be fixed.
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/Recommended/CoatedFOGRA27.icc
   Tag 'desc': Tag size is not correct.
   The file is locked. Could not be fixed.
Repair done - 0 out of 2 profiles fixed.
Could this be the problem? And if so, how do I fix it?
Don't really want to uninstall and reinstall but expect that's the only answer. Is it? Can anyone help?

The driver is one the Apple Mac store downloaded for me.
I attach the print summary which might give a clue. When converting
files to grayscale, I use Image>Mode>grayscale. The other thing is
that I can't print in Photoshop, so I do all my editing in Photoshop
and print through Indesign. Printing in Photoshop is just a page of
text.
The other odd thing is that coloured pdf files printed in Adobe
Acrobat are just a mass of colour, no recognisable picture but if I
change the print option in Acrobat to print in grayscale I get
pictures! I just feel I'm overlooking some checked option, but I've
tried to restore to default without success. I used to use Pagemaker
6.0 to do my newsletter on my PC but had to change to Indesign when I
changed to MAC and the printer hasn't worked properly since!!!
Many thanks for your reply. Maybe someone out there might be able to
help.

PLEASE CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT THIS ERROR MEANS?

The script attached to my button reads:-
//This script takes the user to Scene 1 when opendoor is
released
on(Release) = function (){
gotoAndStop("Scene 1", 1);
The errors in the Output Panel are:-
**Error** Scene=Scene 2, layer=door, frame=1:Line 2: '{'
expected
on(Release) = function () {
**Error** Scene=Scene 2, layer=door, frame=1:Line 4:
Statement must appear within on handler
I will be eternally grateful to anyone who can sort me out!!

SLMHILL,
You're mixing two ways of writing event handlers. If you want
to attach
the script to your button directly, use this code:
on(Release) {
gotoAndStop("Scene 1", 1)
Or, if you want to place all of the scripting in one place,
on a frame
on the main timeline, you would use the code below.
opendoor.onRelease = function (){
gotoAndStop("Scene 1", 1);
To do this, make sure your button on the stage has an
instance name of
"opendoor" -- instance name is in the Properties panel.
Then make a new layer called "actions" and make sure to click
on it in
the timeline, then open the Actions panel and write the code.

Can anyone tell me what this Time Machine error means? The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features?

Can anyone tell me what this Time Machine error means? The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features?

AFP - Apple Filing Protocol
The Network Attached Storage (NAS) that you are pointing Time Machine at does not have the features needed by Time Machine in order to do its Thing. Time Machine needs some specific features that are not typically available on generic networked storage devices.
There are manufactures that support the Mac OS X HFS+ file system formats and implement all the needed AFP protocol packets necessary so that they can be used with Time Machine, but apparently yours does not.
If you are not using a networked mounted volume for Time Machine, then more information will be needed about your Time Machine setup.

Hello KCC4ME,
You may try booting your Mac in Safe Boot, as it can resolve many issues that may prevent a successful login.

If a Safe Boot allows you to successfully log in, you may have issues with one or more login itmes (while the following article is labelled as a Mavericks article, it is viable for earlier versions of the Mac OS, as well).

Can anyone tell me what this string is in the server permissions?

Can anyone tell me what the character sting is third from the top?
This is taken from the server app < select the server < storage < then edit permissions.
I feel like this is something simple, but all of my searches have turned up nothing.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated,

I have recently deleted a user.
Can I remove them from the ACL with no effect to the system?
Is there a more efficient way to do that rather then by each individual folder and file?
Thank you,

Can anyone tell me what this javascript is

The following script is at the top of the code for my index page, can anyone tell me what it is for and can I deletye it.
<script type="text/JavaScript">
    
    </script>

It's standard boilerplate javascript inserted by Dreamweaver when you add behaviors to your page. The block you posted contains three function definitions. The first covers preloading images (function MM_preloadImages), the second is what you need when an event in one place affects something in another (function MM_findOb) place on your page, and the third is for managing a group of checkboxes (function MM_nbGroup) I think!
To say whether you could delete them or not, we would have to see the rest of your page to see if you are using any behaviors that might require those functions.

Another thing is, I'm trying to display chinese characters using jsp page. When I use Tomcat-3.2.1, i can view the chinese characters correctly, but when I converted to Tomcat-3.3a (due to the newer version of JDBC API available in Tomcat-3.3a), it don't seems to recognize the html META Header that I use to encode the jsp page.
Is there anyway if making Tomcat-3.3a read the header or what ???
Can anyone enlighten me on this ??
I really need to get the solution or the reason ASAP !!
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I dont know whether you are still getting the error. This error seem to be result of closing the output stream accidently or manually for some reason. so look out for 'out.close' or other 'out' operations which deals either with flushing or closing the stream. By removing the statement I solved this problem.
if u have any questions: contact me on [email protected]
Thanks.

I have recently upgraded to Yosemite and when launching PS I get error message 150:30. Can anyone tell me what this means?

I have recently upgraded to Yosemite and when trying to launch PS I get an error message 150:30. Can anyone help me out with this please?

Yes. The upgrade broke your CS4 install. You have to reinstall.
Easiest way to fix this is to download the installer Download CS4 products and have your serial number at the ready.
Then you will need to download and install the updates for Photoshop, Camera Raw, and Bridge here: Product updates
There is a Terminal fix, but you have to be familiar with Terminal and running the python license Repair script. You will need the bash shell on your user account. If that makes sense to you, we can try that.

# The exception above was detected in native code outside the VM
# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (1.3.1-b24 mixed mode)

Can you provide with some background information on what conditions made you get this error.
Usually, these errors from Native system are caused by our misuse of the language. But not always, it can also because of other external factors.

Can anyone tell me what this is for?

The link below is a picture. I need to know what the metal thing is that the black and red cords are wrapped around it almost looks like a Ferrite Bead but I'm not sure. The wire goes to the power jack.

please help...thank you

Shutting down only returns a Mac to a certain default running state.
If the beach balling problem is there, it can and, most probably, will return.
Sometimes a shut down or restart can reset things, but if this was something that was nagging issue, it may return.
It's better for a Mac to sleep or hibernate than to constantly shut it down.
Shutting down and starting up a computer all the time puts more strain on electronic components than just letting the computer sleep and go into a reduced power mode.
Sometimes Safari ( or any web browser) can be the culprit as Adobe Flash Player, running inside Safari, can eat up a lot of CPU and RAM resources when on a website that needs extensive use of Adobe Flash Player. Also, animations and pop- up ads in a web browser can have the web browser using up more CPU and RAM cycles, too! Other web browser factors like having a lot of windows or tabs active can increase the amount of RAM that the web browser is using.
Also, it a good idea not to have too many CPU and RAM intensive apps running concurrently in the background.
Also, some unknown process can eat up system resources.
From time to time if the beach balling returns, launch Activity Monitor app inside your Applications>Utilities folder a see if there are any processes that are eating up an excessive amount of RAM or CPU cycles.
Any antivirus apps are known causes of OS X slowdowns and beach balling as well as a lot of " crapware" like MacKeeper. Keep software like that off of your system.

Can anyone tell me what this "Kikin" popup is about?

I've been getting this pop up for something called "Kikin" that says it's a browser update. If it's an update to my firefox browser, why is it coming in this way? It tells me to click update or upgrade now and that by clicking I agree to their terms and services. Well, I don't want to agree to the terms and services and I want it to just stop. How do I do that?

I'm afraid that the answers from by TonyE and TheSchnaz were off the mark. I'm getting the kikin popup ad even though I don't have kikin installed. (It doesn't show up in the add-ons menu). Since I don't have kikin installed, I can't uninstall it. This sort of popup ad is the sort of thing that you usually see with trojans. I don't know if kikin is a trojan or not, but I certainly wouldn't trust it.
Regardless, how do you block the pop up and any other software associated with kikin?

Can anyone tell me what this is doing

hey this is part of some parser code from an earlier java forum post
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=506162&messageID=2399163#239 9163
i modified the code slightly to work with my program which involves its use in an applet and to solve logical equations. However i'm still uncertain as to what certain sections of the code are doing
i know that this code evaluates the variables within the given equation, begins a for loop that does not exit until i = codeSize which is the length of the given String. However i'm not so certain as to how it achieves this. I'd like to know
private int eval(int variableX, int variableY, int variableZ)
                try {
                        int top = 0;
                        for (int i = 0; i < codeSize; i++)
                                if (code[i] >= 0)
                                        stack[top++] = constants[code];
else if (code[i] >= POWER)
int y = stack[--top];
int x = stack[--top];
int ans = (int)Double.NaN;
switch (code[i])
case PLUS: ans = x | y; break;
case MINUS: ans = x & y; break;
case TIMES: ans = x & y; break;
case DIVIDE: ans = x / y; break;
// case POWER: ans = Math.pow(x,y); break;
if (Double.isNaN(ans))
return ans;
stack[top++] = ans;
else if (code[i] == VARIABLEX)
stack[top++] = variableX;
else if (code[i] == VARIABLEY)
stack[top++] = variableY;
else if(code[i] == VARIABLEZ)
stack[top++] = variableZ;
/* else {
double x = stack[--top];
double ans = Double.NaN;
int d;
d = (int) ans;
switch (code[i])
case SIN: ans = Math.sin(x); break;
case COS: ans = Math.cos(x); break;
case TAN: ans = Math.tan(x); break;
case COT: ans = Math.cos(x)/Math.sin(x); break;
case SEC: ans = 1.0/Math.cos(x); break;
case CSC: ans = 1.0/Math.sin(x); break;
case ARCSIN: if (Math.abs(x) <= 1.0) ans = Math.asin(x); break;
case ARCCOS: if (Math.abs(x) <= 1.0) ans = Math.acos(x); break;
case ARCTAN: ans = Math.atan(x); break;
case EXP: ans = Math.exp(x); break;
case LN: if (x > 0.0) ans = Math.log(x); break;
case LOG2: if (x > 0.0) ans = Math.log(x)/Math.log(2); break;
case LOG10: if (x > 0.0) ans = Math.log(x)/Math.log(10); break;
case ABS: ans = Math.abs(x); break;
case SQRT: if (x >= 0.0) ans = Math.sqrt(x); break;
case UNARYMINUS: ans = -x; break;
if (Double.isNaN(ans))
return d;
stack[top++] = d;
catch (Exception e)
double b = Double.NaN;
int i = (int)b;
return i;
} double d2;
if (Double.isInfinite(stack[0]))
d2 = Double.NaN;
int i2 = (int) d2;
return i2;
}else
return stack[0];
any help much appreciated
cheers

Well this is a very basic interpreter. What this piece of code does is:
1) take an opcode from the code array, and retrieves the description for it from the constants array. This description is stored in the stack array.
stack[top++] = constants[code];
2) check what opcode it is
switch (code)
3) "execute" the opcode with simple java math operators.
case PLUS:    ans = x | y; break;
case MINUS:   ans = x & y; break;
case TIMES:   ans = x & y; break;
case DIVIDE: ans = x / y; break;4) store the result of the opcode in the stack array, after the description of the opcode retrieved in step 1)
stack[top++] = ans;There is also some sort of error check in there: initially the result of the opcode is "NaN", (not a number). If the opcode passed to this code is not known, the result is not added to the stack according to this piece of code:
if (Double.isNaN(ans))
return ans;

Can anyone tell me what this error means?
