68k Macs & "2038 Bug"

I did a test on my Macintosh IIsi to see how many years the operating system can handle prior to year 2038. To put it in simple terms, the 2038 bug means any non 64 bit CPUs can handle years on or close to year 2038 because of the way the computer processes mathematics like years and days.
The Mac runs OS 7.1, and the d-day is December 31st. 2019! In less than 5 years, this particular Mac will fall back to 1920 and dates forward.
My questions to the old timers are:
What Macs are impacted by this "2020 bug"?
What CPUs (the processor) are impacted?
What operating systems are impacted?
Are all Power PC-based Macs can be workable for date records up to 2038? (my B/W G3 can run up to December 31st, 2037)
If there is a limitation to all, what Macs starting with OS and systems capable of handling dates to that year?
I do know that G5 Macs, Intel Macs, apps written in 64 bit and OS X 10.5 forward are capable of recording dates after 2038 as they are 64 bit based systems.

Hi Lastmile,
I cannot provide you with an old version of LabVIEW, but hopefully I can help you find some useful documentation. Take a look at the Manuals search on our website to try to locate specific manuals. When looking for older versions, I suggest searching by the year of release.
LabVIEW for Macintosh Upgrade Notes (version 4.1)
LabVIEW Release Notes for Macintosh (version 4.1)
LabVIEW Function and VI Reference Manual (version 4.1)
LabVIEW User Manual (version 5: should be very similar)

Mac quarantine bug returns to Leopard

In my email today from ITWire:
*Mac Quarantine Bug Returns in Leopard*
Mac OS X includes a mechanism that's supposed to warn users before they execute files downloaded from the Internet, but the reappearance in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard leaves systems vulnerable to Trojan attachments received in Mail.
The issue was fixed by Security Update 2006-001 for Mac OS X 10.4 ("Download Validation fails to warn about unsafe file types"), but somehow made its way back into the latest version of Apple's operating system.
http://www.itwire.com/content/view/15458/53/
comments, please, support staff? Are we getting a security update sometime soon?
Also, is there anywhere in this forum or a definitive article regarding Macs and infections?
As far as I know (which ain't too much):
--Macs are generally invulnerable to viruses but can be inadvertently passed on via email. (Is Mail safer than Outlook or Entourage for Mac, which comes in MS Office for Mac)
--Viruses are passed on in .exe and other PC-based files.
--Viruses can't be passed in image files or .pdf files.
--Viruses cannot launch unless a file is opened.
--As Macs get more popular, will they be more vulnerable?

Same issue; I share my Documents folder and everyone can see the folders below it but have NO access ot most of the sub folders (the minus symbol). The one exception is a folder "Civilization IV Demo";
Permissions:
Documents (MAIN FOLDER):
tpfannes(ME) read and write
everyone read and write
Sub folders (sub folders under Documents)
Civilization IV Demo (works):
tpfannes(ME) read and write
everyone read only
staff read only
Data Folder (No workie)
tpfannes(ME) read and write
everyone no access
I did a erase and install with Leopard and restored the files from a backup using Apples Backup utility.
I could probably get to a terminal window and modify permissiosn these via. chmod but I'm not all that comfortable with that.
Any ideas????

JDev Mac OSX bugs in Apple forum

Hi-
Just wanted to let JDev people know that I've been posting several JDev10G Mac OSX bugs to the Technologies/Apple forum under the topic 'JDev 10G works on OSX!'.
I know: not officially supported betaware - but its there all the same. Generally JDev works quite nice under OSX as long as the Oracle LnF is used.
--Eric Everman

Thanks!
We have some people here running JDev on Mac OS/X as well. Glad to hear it's more or less working for you too.

Stupid Mac OS bug - Won't delete open folders in list view

This took some time to figure out and might help someone else... If you want to delete a folder while in list view, you must first close it before it will be deleted. In the example below, you can select folder "Test 1", Move to Trash and it will be deleted. Try the same thing with "Test 2" and nothing happens. No error messages but it won't be deleted. You must first close the folder (by clicking on the triangle), select the folder, Move to Trash, then it will be deleted. If you select a group of folders, all of the selected folders must be closed or none of them will be deleted. This bug only affects deleting folders while using list view (that I'm aware of). You can rename the folder, you can move the folder. You just can't delete the folder. Occurs with the Public share as well as any other shares you created. There is no problem deleting folders while in icon view or column view. 2TB My Cloud with firmware v04.01.04-422Mac OS 10.9.5WD disc mounted on desktop with smb://< IP Address >Logged on to WD disc with username & password. Account has full access.

Just tried it (rename, move and deletion on open folders) on my mac mini running Yosemite 10.10.4 and no problems here. Tried on both local drive and on the Cloud mapped by AFP and SMB. It could be an open file or something that is preventing the folder from being deleted, or if you are trying this on the cloud, it could be a different samba version since I'm still on firmware 3.04 here on my cloud. Try it locally as well as trying other protocols like connect to server AFP://WMyCloud/<yourcloudname> or smb://WDMyCloud/<yourcloudname>

Anyone knows how to fix it?

Due to a bug in the forum software, your image is not showing. Based on past problems with that display, I suggest a reindex of Spotlight:

If my guess is wrong, no harm will come to your MBP or your data.

Mac GUI bug on Web dynpro

Hi,
I have a bug in my Mac gui (also on rev 4).
When I open SE80 and present web dynpro, I cannot write anything on the VALUE column. I can only select values from drop downs.
How Can I report this bug?
Is this forum the way to do it?
Thanks,
Itay

Hello Itay,
this is the only way I know of to officially file a bug report.
There should be a some process in place inside your company to forward issues to a person eligible to create SAP support messages.
But you can try to explain the steps how to reproduce as part of a reply in this thread. But please do not expect the same service and workflow as in an official support message.
Best regards

MAC Authentication Bug in router firmware version 20.19.8

Since having FIOS installed a little more than a year ago, I have used MAC address authentication (filtering) in the FIOS router on my premises to limit wireless access to only the two computers in my home. While trying to diagnose an Internet access problem on January 17, Verizon tech support updated the router firmware to version 20.19.8 (Jul 2 2011). Since that time, I haven't been able to add more than one MAC address to the ACL (list of accepted MAC addresses). The configuration page appears to put two or three addresses in the list when I ask it to, but if I revisit the list after applying the change, only the first address in the list is still there.
I tried to report this to Verizon tech support, but was told that MAC authentication is an "advanced" feature and is supported only for customers who buy "expert" tech support. I'm not anxious to pay extra for the privilege of telling Verizon that they have a bug. Anybody have any suggestions? Is there a way I can report this bug to Verizon without being stonewalled by tech support?

ActionTec tech support replied almost immediately to my e-mail. Their response is that the router allows MAC filtering to be configured only from a wired connection, not a wireless one. I doubted this, since I've had no trouble in the past configuring MAC filtering from a wireless connection, and even now I can do so as long as I don't try to put more than one MAC address in the ACL. However, we dutifully hauled a computer down to the basement and reconfigured it with a wired Ethernet connection to the Verizon router. Lo and behold, in this configuration we could put two MAC addresses in the ACL without problem. Being on a wired connection does make a difference!
So, based on my experience, it seems that MAC filtering can be turned on or off and a single MAC address can be placed in the ACL from a wireless connection, but to put more than one MAC address in the ACL requires a wired connection to the router. This seems weird to me, but it's hard for me to imagine them doing this by accident. They must have designed it this way on purpose.
Anyway, I now have the MAC authentication configuration back the way I want it. I should be OK until the next time FIOS fails and Verizon makes me do a factory reset on the router before they'll believe the problem is at their end.
And I'll look into WPa, since the consensus of those posting here is that it's stronger than WEP, which is what I've been using.

Mac Trial Bugs

Wow is the Mac Trial Version full of bugs. Don't borther trying to tell me that I'm using it wrong, because I can do exactly the same thing sometimes but not others. File and Folder management are especially problematic. Does the Paid Version get any better than the Trial? Ralph J. Secoy

I cannot afford the time to get into long, multiple email discussions. Only one example is that I created a new folder under the full Lightroom category, in order to do editing and deletes. When finished, I wanted to combine the new picture files into another "permanent" folder under all Lightroom folders. I had previously done a simple drag and drop of the contents in the temp folder into one I'm using as permanent - no problem. I then did a remove on the folder which now had 0 photos. However, I could not do the exact same drag and drop on another folder. Therefore, I tried to drag the temp as a folder to the other folder, which went in a a subfolder under the other - a subfoler I did not want and cannot now undo without deleting the contained photos. As I said, this exact procedure worked previously as desired, and suddenly it will not work now. I've also had other problems and well as full crashes. I don't have time to spend on all these problems. Also, I think the unpredictable file and folder system, although like a Mac Finder, works unpredictably and is unnecessarily complicated: having to create new folers all the time without any help. I really like how the Adove TV segment on folder management says not to allow the program to use the default option, because the expert has seen so many people who subsequently cannot find their photos. Great work, and why don't we get a simple dialog box asking what folder you want to use for a new group of downloads? Mac OS 10.6.8 Snow Leopard fully updated.

Sharp 4K Display 60Hz Mac Pro Bugs

Mac Pro (latest generation) 8x3.0Ghz + Dual 6GB AMD D700's
2x Sharp PN-K321 4K Display
When the display is put in MST mode (multi-stream transfer) it does not allow for rotation to portrait mode (270*). As far as I know the drivers allow for this and this issue is merely with resolution preset within OSX.
Please resolve this ASAP as the vertical real-estate afforded to me by portrait mode is useless (in my situation) at 30Hz and it's a bit disappointing that these displays are still having such issues when they're touted by Apple as being fully TB2 compatible (especially considering that TB MST has been around for a while).
Also given that you pushed major updates in multi-display support with 10.9.3 it's a bit ridiculous that such a basic issue would be unresolved, even on top-line flagship hardware.
If you need any help interfacing with the firmware please let me know as I am happy to assist, but seriously, you need to find a resolution to this.

Since this is a Safari and Mac issue not PC and Safari where is the issue coming from??
Can anyone please advise? I would really like to launch my website but since many of my customers use this set up I and force to wait.
Thanks

Safari is one of the most standards-compliant browsers ever built. Thus, your best bet for ensuring your pages render properly in Safari — today’s version and beyond — is to follow web standards.

I/O Error result code -36: Logic bug, or Mac OSX bug?

Hello-
I encountered a problem in Logic Pro 8 today that severely damaged one of my audio files in my session. I was working in the sample editor, and I went to copy and paste an audio fragment. When I tried to paste the audio, this error came up:
"I/O Error, result code = -36"
After that, the cursor turned into a black and white spinner, and the audio file that I was working with suddenly was altered in a way that somehow erased a portion of it in the song. I had to ability to undo, view the changes in the audio file, etc, etc. It was damaged irreversibly, and I had to end up re-recording that segment. Does anyone know why this happens, and is it a bug in Logic?
BTW, I have over 500 gigs free on the external drive that I am recording to, and nothing has changed, hardware-wise on my system in over 6 months... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This sounds like one of two things that I have seen with this error :
1.- your external hard drives' connection to the computer is not 100% stable (loose cable...dusty environment...)
2.- Your audio device, is ti FireWire too? Is it daisy chained to this external hard drive? Maybe the order of the daisy chaining needs to be looked at.

Chrome Mac Flash Bug

When I view a webpage in Google Chrome with an SWF embedded It looks like it's squeezed.. After scrolling it looks right. Very Strange!
Anyone has a solution? or a fix?
Safari/Firefox on mac it works perfect
IE/Chrome/Firefox on windows also perfect
thnx in advance!!!

The annoying thing with Chrome is that it has its own "proprietary" version of Flash Player plugin.
There are steps to fix it for Windows, and I had to dig to find the same thing for OS X.
Go to: [username]/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome (you MUST hold the "Option" key when clicking "Go" from the Finder menu to access your [username]/Library folder)
There's a folder named "PepperFlash". Trash it.
Empty the trash.
Relaunch Chrome.
That should resolve it. You may need to run a Chrome update, though.

Mac: 3 bugs in the latest PR-CC2014 update...

OK,
so there are 3 bugs in the latest update.
I lose my active sequences on my timeline when I save, close and re-open projects
I lost the visual update of "bezier curve handles" on opacity envelopes on video and audio transitions: they appear straight as in normal "slopes" (no curve)
I lose audio preview when I render a test segment and preview in the finder outside of Premiere. finder audio is fine, but switching back to Premiere, it's gone
all for now.

Bugs? There's bugs in every bit of software written from day one except possibly the one-liner thing that types out, "Hello world." That's why I wait a week or two after an update comes out, to let the dust settle and also review if it is something I really need. I haven't decided I actually need an iTunes update since iTunes 7.5.
After updating did you repair permissions? Did you verify your hard drive and repair permissions before updating? Many "bugs" aren't really bugs but how a change suddenly makes something that is a budding issue on a computer (and each person has a unique configuration) suddenly come to the surface.
