10.4.11 and "No buffer space available"

Hi!
Just updated to 10.4.11 and now i can't connect to internet.
My AirPort works, i can ping the router, but thats all.
When i try to use Safari i get this msg:
"POSIX error: "no buffer space available" (NSPOSIXErrorDomain:55)"
Anyone have a clue?

Im running 10.5.1. I use a general purpose utility called Cocktail and was fiddling with the network settings. On reboot, opening up Safari resulted in the "..no buffer space NSPOSIXErrorDomain:55 message. Deleting /Library/StartupItems/Cocktail fixed it.

  • No buffer space available

    We are executing a program that use a lot of memory, because that program read a big struct of a database in classes. It's executing properly in Win2000, but in Windows 9x ocurr this error:
    No buffer space available (maximum connections reached?): connect
    Anybody help me?
    Thank you very much?

    Have you tried using the -mx and -ms settings passed to java?
    I've run very memory intensive things on 95 with jdk 1.2.2 and 1.3.1 and I've had pretty good luck.

  • IPv6 - No buffer space available

    Anyone else seen this IPv6 weirdness:
    6to4 tunnel to Hurricane Electric. Mac Pro is the router and tunnel endpoint (gif0). ip Protocol 41 passed through various routers/firewalls, etc.
    sysctl'd ipv6 forwarding on and RA.
    statically assigned /64 either end on subnet 2001:feed:d00d:1f04:: for tunnel
    local wire net /64 subnet 2001:feed:d00d:1f05:: (I made up these example addrs, so don't get all bothered
    rtadvd configured for en0, with :tc=ether.
    en0 assigned a /128%en0 address in Control Panel. Perfect, works
    great.
    After about 8 hours, connectivity dies, err= "Sendmsg: No buffer space
    available".
    FYI: sysctl kern.ipc.maxsockbuf: 4194304
    I can still ping locally and hit either end of the tunnel, but no external addresses, as routing has stopped. ipv6 and icmpv6 are not transmitted or received to/from routed nets. Inbound traffic is dumped on the floor, with no icmpv6 message, such as a type 1 (no route available).
    What (semi) fixes it is to NOT assign the /128%en0 in Control Panel, instead ifconfig the address for en0. However, this stimulates a bug in rtadvd where it assigns an incorrect link local fe80:: as the default gw, if the Control Panel IPv6 is set to Auto. Even if rtadvd is configured correctly, a bug overrides the
    rtadvd.conf en0 addr and advertises an incorrect link local addr as route 'default'.
    netstat still shows the correct default route, gif0 is fine in terms of routes and so on and ip6fw rules are flushed for the purposes of this test.
    Rock and a hard place .

    Hi Ananda and Vyara,
    Thanks a lot for your replies!
    Restart did not help (including restart the machine).
    From the google search I also hit the same MS page. Obviously it did not help either. I guess there is some problem with connection to the SQL server. I checked the tcp connections and another server which is running well has more connections than this one.

  • Hostapd `EAPOL TX: no buffer space available' error

    Hi guys, I have just configured hostapd with NAT to let my smart phone use wired network. At first, it worked normally. But recently I found that sometimes, the connection between the AP and my phone seemed to fail after some time, especially when there are some other devices connecting my AP. Here 'fail' means no packets can be transfered between the two devices and any new device cannot establish a connection with the AP. It seems that at that time, my wireless device only broadcast an SSID, and when I look at the terminal, there are nothing uncommon except some `nl80211: EAPOL TX: no buffer space available' errors. When I tried to let my AP work again, I found that seemingly any actions, except restarting my laptop, does not work. I tried googling, but no luck.

    Bonjour,
    Toutd'abord merci de votre réponse!
    A première vu mes fichiers sont bien fermé après écriture, faudrait que je fasse un étude plus approfondie pour en être sûre à 100% mais si le problème viendrait de là je pense que mon erreur arriverait plus souvent que toute les 1 à deux semaine, en effet ma base de donnée tourne en permanence 24/24 7/7 en service sur windows pour recevoir les données provenant du moteur (les données sont stocké dans un mémoire cyclique dans la base de donnée). Je vais consulter plusieur fois mes données par jours en me connectant à ma base de donnée avec mon programme et ensuite je me deconnecte de la base de donnée quand j'ai vu ce que je voulais voir! Et ce plusieur fois par jour!! Mais certaine fois (toute les 1 à 2 semaines) je ne peux plus me connceter à cette base de donnée car j'ai cette erreur 10055 qui apparait, je dois donc redémarrer la base de donnée et le problème est résolu pour un certain temps à nouveau!

  • ASR multicast: Could not write data: No buffer space available

    I am trying to multicast a disk image to multiple iMacs. Here is my plist config for the server:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
    <plist version="1.0">
    <dict>
              <key>Data Rate</key>
              <integer>12000000</integer>
              <key>Multicast Address</key>
              <string>224.77.2.121</string>
    </dict>
    </plist>
    I use the following command to start the server:
    sudo asr -source labmac.dmg -server multicast.plist
    The terminal responds "Ready to start accepting clients"
    Then I go to one of the iMacs that will receive the image. I am netbooting the client off of the same server that is multicasting the image over ASR. I try to start the imaging process by issuing the following command on the client:
    sudo asr -source asr://server.ip.add.ress -target /Volumes/Macintosh HD -erase
    The command is accepted, confirms that I would like to erase the drive, and then says "Restoring" but no progress shows.
    Back on the server, the terminal will output the following continuously until I cancel the multicast:
    Starting stream Sun Feb 10 15:55:10 2013
    asr: Could not write data: No buffer space available
    The multicast seems to be working because the entire network gets bogged down, so why is it that it is unable to transfer the image data?

    Did you end up figuring this out? i'm on the same boat

  • Statistics setup for 2LIS_11 and no storage space available internal table

    Hi, I am running statistical setup for 2LIS_11_VAITM. It ran for 10 hours and failed with an ABAP run time error. The error is "no storage space available for extending an internal table". For 11 application, the selection options is sales org, company code and sales document. We have tried twice, and already drilled down to the level of sales org and company code, but still with error.
    The only option is sales documents.
    The volume of the data is 16 million records around in VBAP table which needs to be in the setup table.
    What is the criteria to categorize the sales document.
    Can we use order types? We have 200 values in the order types. And I am not sure the document ranges in each order type is clearly defined and not overlapping each other, so that we could load those in the setup table.
    Please advise!! Or if you have other suggestions!
    Thanks!

    Hi
    It could be because of main memory problem... so Restrict your selections and do the statistical setup
    by the way how many comp codes you have? restrict with comp codes or doc ranges
    Thanks,

  • Time Machine drive reporting more and more disk space available

    OK, so I've been using Time Machine since 28-OCT-2007 and all my backups are present. I have watched my TMDrive (Buffalo 500GB Fire Wire) report as little as 20GB available and slowly over the past 30 or so days report 205.42 GB now available. Any sizable downloading I do is pointed at another external HDD and that is listed in the Do NOt Backup list. I understand how hourly and daily works, but to see such drastic swing in available disk space seems a bit odd. Has anyone else seen this?
    Message was edited by: brenodo

    Brenodo,
    As backups are thinned, you will see a reduction in the amount of space used on the TM drive. This is entirely normal. Keep in mind that TM is designed to maintain a "restorable" copy of your system, and all of your user files, past and present. This represents a discreet amount of data which is only added to in small increments, really... as you say, any large downloads are going to a dedicated external.
    While TM might temporarily use much more disk space to manage its backups, the thinning process will eventually weed out everything that is unnecessary, as you are now seeing. I wouldn't be surprised if you begin to see the free space being used again, at some point, and the cycle will begin anew.

  • MBP unresponsive and zero free space available

    Many people using this MB nobody cared to let me know we were running out of space. Today I was downloading a big file (1GB) when I got the "running out of space" alert message. Went to open info in the HD and saw there was only 255MB!!! I opened Trash but before I could hit "empty trash" the system froze. I can see there is "zero bytes" as available space... Nothing is responding, nneither the trackpad not the keyboard. SOS! I don't know what to do... It has been frozen for 1/2 an hour now..
    What should I Do? MBP is running Mavericks.

    Step 1   
    The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, 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 that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
    a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later. 
    b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
    c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    d. 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.
    Step 2
    You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.

    Hmm no that's not the problem unfortunately, i can start the daemon without problems, but it just crashes now and then after a while (sometimes more than a day after it was started).
    why you are using acpid ?
    Because my laptop exposes most of it's special keys (lid, brightness, volume etc) as acpi events, and i need a simple way to capture and script those.

  • Macbook pro running slow - spinning wheel but still space avail?

    Is there anything that I can do to speed up my macbook pro?
    System is up to date, and there is space available. I've checked CPU - I think there is probably a lot of double ups on information stored on computer but not sure how to do a clean-up without loosing originals....
    Any help would be greatly appreciated? In laymans terms if possible, as clearly I'm not as technically knowledgable in this area (also don't have much &'s to spend on clean-up software - so cheaper options or ability to fix thru what is already available to me is best!)
    Thanks in advance

    I like to follow this one.
    No information will be lost and i've had good luck with it in the past.

  • I was backing up my iPhone and importing photos onto iPhoto at the same time , then suddenly it says no more space available (i had 48GB before i do this and now i have 18GB) i can't find the back up or the photo anywhere , how can i delete them ?

    Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
    iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
    Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
    According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
    When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown asBackups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Reboot and it should go away.
    See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
    You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
    Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
    Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
    ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
    Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size with the largest at the top. It may take a few minutes for ODS to finish scanning.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
    When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • I know many have this issue but i can't find a solution to the problem. i get message saying insuffisiant disk space in the volume iPhoto library and i have plenty of space available. i have the new macbook pro with retina display.

    I know many have this issue but i can't find a solution to the problem. i get message saying insuffisiant disk space in the volume iPhoto library and i have plenty of space available. i have the new macbook pro with retina display. i have never seen this message before and i have 2 other macbooks and have had many other also. i am assuming this is a problem with the new macbook retina. does anyone know the exact fix to this issue? i have seen many sugestions to try to fix this issue but none have solved the issue for anyone that i can find in the Apple Support Community. thank for looking into this in advance.
    ******A true apple fan********

    Actually your suggestions are the ones that i have tried. i have seen that you have tried to help others with this issue and the only one that i could find that said they found the problem said that it was an ilife update issue and it fixed it and i have no available updates. i know it has to do with something in photo stream because it happens when i create a new library and it is loading the photos but i get the message before i reach the maximum 1000 photos. so i've tried updating, new library(first backing up photos and then deleting them from iPhoto), reinstalling OSX many times, running disc utilities. I called Apple the first day i had this issue and i was the first person to call them for support with the retina display and i actually had it escalated to a senior advisor and we thought we fixed the problem but we did not. i am pretty fluent in dealing with troubleshooting these type of issues and this is the first time i'm reaching out to the community. i figured now that the retina has been out some time now that there would be an obvious answer to this issue. thanks for the quick reply.
