Kinect Mac OSX 10.6.8 Issues

Hi everyone,
I really want to use my Kinect with Processing 2.0, but I keep getting malloc errors like this one:
java(12328,0x7fff70269cc0) malloc: *** error for object 0x1020319e8: incorrect checksum for freed object - object was probably modified after being freed.
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
I have tried multiple drivers for the Kinect: libfreenect and SensorKinect, after installing the proper libusb-devel, libusb, libusb-freenect, etc libraries.  I have also tried multiple versions of OpenNI, and NITE.
The strange thing is that in each configuration, the samples/examples will work for a short period and do what they are supposed to do but will then throw the above malloc error.  It is strange because EVERY configuration I've tried throws these kinds of errors.  These occur when I run some SimpleOpenNI examples IN Processing and also when I run non-Processing examples outside of Processing, through the terminal (i.e. samples that come with NITE or OpenNI).
The fact that it is the same error in all configurations makes me think it could be some sort of 64 bit versus 32 bit mess up?  I've also tried running Processing in both 32 and 64 bit modes.  I am running 64 bit Java (don't know if this is relevant - I don't actually think so), most recent update for OSX 10.6.8.  I think these problems also might be related to the libusb library, upon which the Kinect drivers all seem to depend.
Does anyone have any advice or ideas?  I'm getting really discouraged!  Thank you so much!

Hi Michael,
I am having similar issues - did you get yours resolved? I did see some notices where people have indicated that this can happen with some of the newer Kinects (Model 1473 was mentioned). My OS is 10.8.4, and I have fresh installs of OpenNI-Bin-Dev-MacOSX-v1.5.4.0 and I have tried both the stable and unstable versions of SensorKinect. All the apps run for 20 seconds or so before dying with some sort of error:
  hugh-mbp13:x64-Debug hugh$ ./Sample-NiSimpleViewer Read failed: A timeout has occurred when waiting for new data! Sample-NiSimpleViewer(503,0x105f00000) malloc: *** error for object 0x7f97ec801328: incorrect checksum for freed object - object was probably modified after being freed.
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
Anyway - maybe I will try to track down an older Kinect and see if it still gives the same error...
Cheers Hugh

  • Mac OSx/5508/3702i dropping issue

    Hi all,
    I have installed dozens of WLCs but with this one customer rollout I have hit an impasse.  The customer has a 98% MacOS device environment running a 5508 HA pair and 3702i APs.  The Mac OSx users randomly lose access even when their device sits in one place within 10 feet of a below ceiling tile hung AP. Disconnects can't be recreated as no particular behavior seems to trigger the drop.  Also for some clients there is severe latency(>1000ms) just pinging the WLAN gateway. Pings from Gateway SVI to AP are fine(<5ms) Debugs imply AP is too busy to handle an authentication request even thought the AP only has 10 users and an insignificant amount of traffic flowing through it. This issue is not dedicated to just one AP either as folks all over the 30 AP environment suffer similarly.  Air Magnet shows no coverage holes.  Windows devices appear ok.
    I am more interested if this is has happened to anyone else and if anyone has had something that has fixed this issue for them instead of troubleshooting.
    TAC case has been open over 4 months with escalation and Backbone TAC involvement with no luck.
    Details:
    - Mac OSx versions are random and those running Yosemite do have the latest patch.
    - WLC versions 7.6.120, 7.6.130, 8.0.102MR, and 8.0.110 have not corrected the problem.  (although fewer errors are seen in the debugs)
    - Although APs are actually local to the controller, the customer has them in Flexconnect for HA and Bandwidth reasons.
    - problem happens with Band Steering and also with Dedicated 5Ghz SSID (2.4 unusable due to density of APs using 2.4 in surrounding buildings)
    - Clear Air 5ghz report score above 97%
    - tried Legacy Beam forming, no joy.
    - EDRRM is on
    - Fast Transition is on
    - Fast SSID switching is on
    - Problem occurs with 20 and 40 Mhz channel bonding.
    - 802.11k sticky cache has been tried to no avail.
    - FUS is at 1.8 (I hear FUS 1.9.0.0 not only fixes the subsystem bugs but may iron out problems with the Operation side too)
    - SSID running dynamic vlan assignment from NPS Server
    - 6 SSIDs total
    - No DFS channels being used
    - SSID timeout has been turned off
    - Data rates below 9Mbit are disabled
    - APs are roughly 25 feet apart.

    Thanks Leo,
              Problem happens to multiple versions of OSx, those running Yosemite do have the latest patch.  Unfortunately I don't think disabling N is going to be feasible.  Due to the High density rate there is no b/g to fallback on (2.4 Ghz is completely saturated).  So that would leave users with basically just 802.11a?  I do have a customer with similar set up running 5508 (v7.6.130) with 3702 in flexconnect.  The difference is the1.9.0.0 FUS has been applied and they run Pre-shared key authentication. Where as the problem customer runs older FUS and Dynamic Radius based vlan assignment.

  • Mac OSX Snow Leopard - Strange Issues

    Hello all,
    I am having trouble with the keyboard on any mac osx 10.6 client.
    When the application opens everything is fine except that they keyboard is wrongly mapped, so far the only key that i know for sure is wrong is the delete key. The delete key doesn't backspace like it should, it simply goes to the end of the line (like an end key) But if you were to use Delete with FN it will function correctly and delete characters in front of it.
    I have googled the hell out of this one and i cannot get any decent results. It seems to be too abstract or long worded for google.
    Just to point out:
    I am using the version of X11 that came with Mac, i don't really want to downgrade and infact it won't be an option for my clients.
    The keyboard works fine in other x apps including the SGD connection login window (the one appearing before the app launches)
    I am in australia, don't know if that makes any difference to the keyboard maps.
    Also is there any known issues using the admin console with Safari on Mac?
    I just have a lot of issues adding objects to objects e.g. adding applications to a group which are then assigned to a user profile. Particularly adding the applications to the group fails, when i click add and select the app then press ok it doesn't add the app and then when i click any link on the page the admin console goes straight back to the start page (just as if i had only just logged in).

  • Mac OSX has loads of issues after upgrade

    I upgraded my OSX to mountain lion 10.8.3, and after 2 days it is completely crippled.  I will try to describe my problem as there are loads of symptoms.
    My Activity monitor shows UserEventAgent, SystemUIServer, and loginwindow eating 2GB of memory each.  Plus I installed a new App called Onyx to try to resolve issue, and even that app is not working eating 3gb of RAM.  My mac is crippled, every app just crashes, I can't even successfully shut it down because it so overloaded.  Oh, and the worst part, the Upgrade ruined my Time Machine Backup, because after upgrade it started backing up and crashed in the middle of it showing black screen of death.
    The best (or worst) part of this horror story is, is that I tried reinstalling my OSX by doing Cmd-R.  Everything went smoothly to a point where I choose the HD to install to, and it only listed a recovery drive, the main drive wasn't even on the list. What this means, is that I'm deep in the water, and I have no idea how to bring my mac back to healthy state.

    I have not done so for /private/var/run/StartupItems because I don't know how to get there.
    You can't get there, because no such folder exists or ever has existed on any computer.
    If you want to preserve the data on the boot drive, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data, you can skip this step.
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to fully boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
    1. Boot into Recovery (command-R at startup) or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in the support article linked below, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
    How to back up and restore your files
    2. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode by holding down the key combination command-T at the startup chime. Connect the two Macs with a FireWire or Thunderbolt cable. The internal drive of the machine running in target mode will mount as an external drive on the other machine. Copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode
    3. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.

  • Upgraded to Mac OSX Lion, have an issue with Flash Builder 4.5.1 and Flex SDK 3.2

    Howdy, I upgraded my mac yesterday to 10.7, and have run into an interesting problem.
    I was using Flex Builder 3 before, using Flex SDK 3.2. After upgrading, I found that Flex Builder 3 is not compatible with Lion anymore, so I had to upgrade to Flash Builder 4.5.
    This is fine, I just figured I would add the Flex 3.2 sdk, which I did. However, after adding my project to the workbench for Flash Builder 4.5, I see the following error:
    http://cl.ly/3J3W0E22402G2I1L2U1Q
    However, as far as I can tell, the following two screenshots mean I have installed the Flex 3.2 sdk:
    http://cl.ly/1S0l1m2u1Z0z053Y3U29
    http://cl.ly/3c3k2B161K1d1y2H332P
    Does anyone know if this is even possible to do? I need to get back into development ASAP. If I can get Flex 3.2 SDK working in this environment, I am pretty sure I will be good to go.
    Thanks so much!

  • Mac OSX Lion Bluetooth Connectivity Issue

    When going from one workstation to another with external monitors, wireless keyboards and trackpads - there seems to be an issue with bluetooth connectivity. Bluetooth does not recognize signals from the next set of devices. The problem does not occur if the notebook is used normally in between (without the external hardware).
    I have wiped out my bluetooth devices for both workstations and reconnected them from scratch. That did not work. I even installed a fresh copy of Lion but the problem still exists. My macbook pro is a late 2010 edition - 2.66 ghz i7 for reference.

  • Mac OSX Server Mavericks users issues

    After trying to add new users via Server app I get 'Existing connection is not authenticated: password change denied' error. I also am unable to reset or remove users. I think this is related to upgrade of server to Mavericks as this is the first time I'm doing this post-upgrade. I have not noticed any other issues with the upgrade and the wiki service will let me log in and content is there so that is not an issue.
    I did what was recommended here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5289 and that did not work nor did reboot. Any info would be great! Thanks.
    J

    Thanks so much! The thread in the discussion you provided worked. Specifically:
    sudo touch /var/db/openldap/migration/.rekerberize
    sudo killall PasswordService
    Worked after reboot. Was able to change password and add/remove users with any error coming up.

  • "disc burner or software not found" on Mac OSX fixed by repair permissions!

    This was a hard thread for me to find so I am posting an answer as a topic...
    For any Mac OSX users having this issue, do a repair permissions using disk utility and it should allow you to burn CDs again.
    Whew.

    You may need to replace the PRAM battery.  Anytime it is over 4 years old, it can make the optical drive act up.

  • Canon  Vixia HV30 capture issue on CS6 (Mac OSX)

    This might be (hopefully) something in setup, but under Mac OSX Lion (10.7.4) / Premiere CS6, i am unable to capture video from my Canon Vixia HV30 - it's either i get a monstruous noise or simply get a 'capture device offline' message.
    No one ever had a similar problem even withanother cam here? I posted weeks ago but never got any reply.
    Am using the same cam under Windows with Premiere CS4 and never faced such an issue.
    Matter of some sort of CODEC ?  Does not seem to require any specific driver for Mac based on Canon website.
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks,
    Rob

    Solved... (Almost!)
    Someone pointed out that Canon has a software (they said there was no driver for Mac OS X so I had stopped looking...) But if it may help others, there is a ''CameraWindow'' for Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8  available. 
    As soon as I installed it, I could capture both from Adobe Premiere CS6 and iMovie.
    One problem remaining though : the noise (feedback-like) that gets out from... the system's sound card ! (when capture is ongoing). I have to shut down the volume completely.  Never had this issue under Windows, need to figure out why this happens now.
    Jeff thanks again for your assistance, even though the solution was somewhere else.
    If anyone has a clue for the noise issue ... please let me know

    How do i set up/connect HP officejet 4635 printer to Mac  OSX 10.5.8

    Hello @robjpell , welcome to the forums
    Unfortunately there are no drivers available for the Officejet 4635 on Mac OS X 10.5. You can try connecting a USB to see if it will work however, there is not a downloadable driver available.

  • Mac OSX Lion Server Network User Login Issue

    We have in the office a server running Mac OSX Lion, and several network users who've all been running happily for quite a will.
    About a month ago I was added to the system, and initially we had a few issues relating to the home directory, but we changed 'something' and it all worked.
    Fast forward to now, and we've added a new user - Hannah - to our system.
    I've added her in the Workgroup Manager, and set her up everywhere I can find on the server. Her home directory creates on the server fine.
    She appears in the Logon list on the client machines, and here's where the trouble starts...
    Every time she tries to log on, it fails. The logon box just bounces or wobbles as though the password is incorrect. We've tried changing the password, to no avail. We've tried adding new test users - same problem.
    We've tried sudo kinet on the Terminal as a local user, with variable results.
    I'm at my wits end, and really hoping someone here can help offer some suggestions or advice we can work through to get to the bottom of this.
    Thanks in advance!

    Your problems are likely occurring because you added her to the directory with Workgroup Manager.
    You should really start avoiding WGM when at all possible as Apple is clearly moving away from it. Because of this, things don't always work as expected when using 'legacy' tools like WGM.
    My guess as to what your problem is: When you create a new user in Server.app, two things happen for you automatically that WILL NOT HAPPEN if done from WGM.
    First the user is added to the default "Workgroup" group.
    More importantly (and the source of much confusion), the user is automatically added to SACLs.
    Check the SACL for the user in Server.app, I bet you'll notice that they aren't a member of the File Sharing group like they should be. To solve this problem, you can either delete the user and recreate them in Server.app, or manually add them to the appropriate SACL.
    I would opt for recreating them in Server.app if I were you, as I don't trust user accounts that originate in WGM on Lion Server.

  • HP "another program has control of the device" Scanning Issue on Mac OSX 10.8.5

    I am running an HP C7200 series all-in-one on a Mac OSX 10.8.5 system. Everything has worked fine for years. Suddenly when I got to fax using HP Scan I get the following message: The scan cannot be performed because another program has control of the HP imaging device. This may be the result of a recent Mac update, but I'm not sure. I have tried many solutions from forums, including: restarting the program, restarting the printer while holding down the OK and Help keys, and installing RC Default Apps 2.1 and disabling the bundle extension preference. I have not yet uninstalled and reinstalled my HP software because I'm afraid something else will get messed up. 
    Also, I can scan by doing the following tedious chore. Open up the Systems Preferences, click on Print & Fax, click on Scan, Click on Open Scanner, click on Show Details, then fill in the scanning details. It's a pain compared to opening up HP Scan and clicking on scan. I can also scan via Image Capture but it also doesn't offer some of the nice features of HP Scan.
    Any other solutions?

    Hello NgnRoom,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue with not being able to fax.
    As you stated , this could be caused by a Mac update.
    I suggest that we do an uninstall of the software and drivers and then while the unit is uninstalled, we then reset the printing system.  Here is a link on How to reset the printing system.  Once the reset is complete, I also suggest we Repair disk permissions.
    The next step would be to reinstall the printer on to the Mac.  Here is the link for the HP Print Drivers v3.0 for OS X.
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

  • Mac OSX: Flash CS3 Font Install Issues

    Hi,
    I have a Mac Powerbook G4 with OS X installed and Adobe CS3.
    I've installed a font. The font works in Photoshop and Illustrator
    but not in Flash CS3. Why? I've put the font in the Library/Fonts
    folder and the User/Fonts folder and it still doesn't show up in
    Flash. Apparently this is a problem for a number of people see
    another forum here:

    Please let me know what to do to fix this. I need to be able
    to work with the font in all three applications Flash, Photoshop
    and Illustrator.

    Hi davidd61713525,
    Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.
    Unfortunately, it looks like something is wrong with the file system and the installer can't see the root drive to install to.  A Google search returns numerous results affecting various products and the recurring theme is that something is wrong with the disk.  There are many recommendations from various sources, but nothing definitive.
    Here's a similar thread over on the Apple forums:
    Broken Installer Permissions | Apple Support Communities
    And a similar older one:
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1203509
    I would try the following options:
    Try using the PKG installer. This is used Mac SysAdmins to install Flash Player within their organization and uses a slightly different installer path, which may or may not work.
    Some people have had success with disk and permissions repair some have not.  You can try running a disk and permissions repair.  After the disk and permissions repair is complete, reboot the system and try to install again using either the online installer (get.adobe.com/flashplayer) or the offline installer, posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac page in the ‘Still having problems’ section.
    If these options do not work, I'd reach out to Apple support to see if they have a suggestion.  If you do find a resolution to this, please let me know.  I'll be happy to share it with people that encounter the problem in the future.

  • Quicktime Plugin Issue in Safari on Mac OSX Lion.

    (Strange) Safari - Quicktime - issue on Mac OSX Lion (All Updates done - 20/11/2011)
    Strange issue with Safari - Quicktime video playing - on Mac OSX Lion (All updates done till 20th Nov 2011 night)
    Problem discovery: Tried to view the Apple iPhone 4S Keynote on Apple Website. Strange that Safari does not display any videos from Apple Website.
    Following works OK:- You Tube worked fine.
    - Google Chrome worked fine. (It shows the quick time player loading and then displays the video absolutely fine.)
    Conclusion: There is some problem with Safari Quicktime Plug-in.
    Strange Discovery:
    - There are two users on the MAC. Logged in with a general user (Non Admin)
    - When tried to view Apple Videos on Safary ... THEY WORKED FINE !!! 
    - The user where they donot work is an ADMIN User ... Strange !!!
    System:
    - Mac-Mini 2010 - 8 GB RAM - with OSX Lion fully software updated until 20th Nov 2011 night.
    - DIVX is installed and is also a paid version - registered with DIVX website.
    - VLC is installed.
    - Perian was installed - after problem discovery - uninstalled it - no use.
    Please help with a solution if anyone has faced and solved this problem. Sub question is : If DIVX / anyother plug-in causes problems with QuickTime plugin on Safari, why does it affect only one user on the system and not other users on that system ?
    Notes:
    1) There is a similar looking thread on MacRumors here but concluded that required to start a seperate one with clear problem statement.
    2) Apple Forums
    (a) One thread on topic that hints that some 3IVX plug-in can cause issues with Safari Quicktime Plugin: here
    (b) Another thread from Apple Forum, that hints that DIVX causes problems to Safari Quicktime Plug in, Link is Here

    Refer to a thread on Apple Discussions Forum itself, Link is HERE; refer to the posting by "Charles Cole",
    Charles Cole
    Re: Does anyone recommend OS X Lion?
    Aug 2, 2011 8:09 PM (in response to Landrix)
    Charles writes about DIVX and QuickTime Plugin conflict in Safari:
    One thing I've discovered that might help anyone having a Quicktime Plug-in issue. If you have DivX as a codec on your system (usually installed to play .avi files) you'll want to uninstall it so that Sarfari 5.1 will default to the Quicktime Plug-In and not the DivX plug-in. Otherwise, you can't see Quicktime movies in Safari.
    Note: this post is about and at the time of OSX Lions launch, i.e. 10.7.0.
    Now we have 10.7.2, still cannot believe Apple has not fixed this bug !!!
