Metadirectory: In the join-engine log, the message 'MDSConfig Invalid PollSchedule supplied (-NULL-). Defaulting to 15 seconds' appears every (you guessed it) 15 seconds.

Where can a valid poll schedule be set?

After biting the bullet and ordering more RAM, my computer now is working a ton better. So that must have been the main issue. With 8 GB RAM, I can now even run Parallels fluidly (better than my work PC!) where before simple things like logging in to my MBP after reboot could take forever.
The place I went to had several other people getting RAM upgrades at the same time as me, so between this and other comments I've seen in discussions here and elsewhere on the Internets, I take it to mean that either Apple should bump up the base RAM on its new machines, and/or stop charging so much for additional RAM.
I refused to believe a Pro machine bought with Lion installed would come with too little RAM for light to medium usage, but it was apparently the case. I'll mark this as a correct answer and hope some other poor soul will come across this thread and be helped by it.

  • Trying to install the latest iTunes on my Gateway w/ Windows XP.  I keep getting the message "Service 'Bonjour Service' (Bonjour Service) failed to start.  Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."

    Hi, I'm trying to re-install the latest iTunes on my Gateway w/ Windows XP.  I had to update it a while back to put songs on my brother's iPod, but my computer froze halfway through and nothing has worked right since. 
    I keep getting the message "Service 'Bonjour Service' (Bonjour Service) failed to start.  Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."
    I looked through older discussions that told me to go to right click My Computer - Manage - Services and Applications - Services - Find Bonjour and restart it. 
    Well, the only option that I can click on is Start.  When I do, it says "Windows could not restart the Bonjour Service service on Local Computer.  Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified."
    Where do I go from here?  Help would be greatly appreciated, I've been trying to fix this for over a year now with no dice.  Also, I cannot do a factory reset (last effort) because it says the administor's account is disabled and I do not have the disc.

    Sorry if double posting is a no-no here, but I forgot to add that I've already tried disabling Spyware Doctor.

  • HT1178 I bought Time Capsule specifically to back up my computer at work. Only my computer. I completed the steps the best of my knowledge but I got the message, "This device & its network services will be temporarily unavailable. Are you sure you want to

    I bought Time Capsule specifically to back up my computer at work. Only my computer. There are many computers within my department. I completed the steps the best of my knowledge but was unsure of which option to click. I clicked "I want to create a new wireless network". At the onset the instructions said I needed to connect with an ethernet cable, which I did. But I have no desire to connect to the internet, print from it, or have others access. I did deselect guest options, and I did put in passwords. But at the end of the process I got the message, "This device & its network services will be temporarily unavailable. Are you sure you want to continue."
    I was worried this would shut me down and I wouldn't be able to continue to work. I don't necessarily need to connect wirelessly. It is connected via ethernet cable from machine to device.
    Can you advise me how to continue? Did I choose the wrong options?

    I bought an external hard drive called "Seagate Backup Plus" From the Apple store to back up everything on my computer and anything new on my computer. It came with Time Machine. The external hard drive disk had 1 or 2 Terabytes. Time Machine says "next backup: When disk is connected." "Oldest backup: July 2, 2014." & Also "Latest back July, 2."

    cor-el,
    Thanks for your prompt reply. However, the sources you gave do not seem to apply exactly to my situation. I have attached some screenshots that show what the dialogue box looks like for a pdf download, and what my settings in the Apps panel of Options are. You will note in the first screenshot that I have checked the box to handle this file type automatically; however, the next time I try to download a file of that type, the same dialogue box appears looking exactly like the one shown, so checking the "automatic" option appears to do nothing. The files to be downloaded from my Gmail messages are not generic or altered file types - they are shown as pdf, doc, docx, etc. So while your intent was good, your post did not help. Thanks anyway.

  • Support forum message error: "The message contains invalid characters."

    when i try to post a crash report in a forum thread i created, i get the following message:
    "The message contains invalid characters."
    is this a forum bug? are there such things as invalid characters???

    This MAY be totally unrelated - but maybe not.
    The SiteWare is particular about some characters under some circumstances. I have not been alerted like you were, but I have seen this when posting screenshots Using an add-on to my browser that put's the "Title" of the page grabbed into the filename it saves...
    All ASC pages have
    " ... | Apple Support Communities " at the end of the title
    the " | " (vertical 'stroke') is an illegal character in a filename for POSTING to the server -  and there are others
    * the file " ASC | ASC.png " is the same image as the 1st picture I posted - I just changed the name to illustrate
    What is good for the Finder may not be good for the server or the software running these forums.

  • I have an IPad and want to download a movie.  I keep getting the message "There is not enough available storage to download your movie.  You can manage your storage in Settings".  I look in the settings and it says I have 5GB available?

    I have been trying to download a movie to my IPad.  I have never had trouble before but the last two times I get an error message that says "Cannot Download" There is not enough storage to download your movie.  You can manage your storage in Settings.
    When I go to my settings it says I have 5GB remaining storage and 5GB storage used.  I have deleted a lot of my music and games but am still having trouble.  Has anyone experienced this before?

    5GB is typically not enough space to download a movie.  Often, movies take from 3 - 5 GB to begin with.  The only option you have is to delete more things from your iPad.  You can remove unused Apps, pictures, music, text message (messages with pictures can take up a lot of space), email messages, books, magazines etc.

  • We are new IPad users and can't access games. The message is invalid address

    We are new users trying to access games. We are getting an error about an invalid address or no address or something similar. Can someone tell us how to get into the games.

    You can't access what games?  Where can you not access these games. Where are you seeing this error message?  What exactly does it say?
    We aren't mind readers here so until you actually provide some specifics as to exactly what you're talking about, nobody could even begin to offer a suggestion.

  • How can I stop Firefox 4 from displaying "The document cannot change while Printing or in Print Preview" from appearing every time I click on File/Page Preview?

    Clicking on File/Page Preview in Firefox 4 brings up a warning dialog "The document cannot change while Printing or in Print Preview" every time. How can I stop this from happening? It is very annoying, and it is necessary to click "OK" on this dialog twice before it will go away. Thank you.

    Does it behave that way in [[Safe Mode]] ?
    If it doesn't, then one of your add-ons in the culprit.

    I am new with this adapter. Please anybody tell me what should I have to configure so that I would be able to read the messages from my JMS Listner Active Sync adapter?

    So, in order to get the message you have to map it. That is done be specifying the "Message Mapping", one of the Resource Parameters for JMS Listener. This can be done by specifying a rule that returns a <map> with the attribute. This would be, in my opinion, the preferred approach for text messages. For Map massages, the rule approach can't be used unless you use the jms java libraries, getString etc.
    You can also implement the com.waveset.adapter.jms.JmsMessageMapper if java is your cup of tea, and put that in the message mapping text box. Password synch uses a java class to do the mapping.
    To map the attribute called accId on the right side, you would use something like this:
    <Rule name='JMS Message Mapper Rule'>
        <block>
            <map>
                <s>accId</s>
                <ref>message</ref>
            </map>
        </block>The Message Mapping text box would in this case look like this:
    "rule:JMS Message Mapper Rule"
    The <ref>message</ref> part contains the JMS text message. In this case the message consist of only one word. In a real-life situation, you would send a bunch of information, perhaps using split to separate the data.

Maybe you are looking for
