Accessing XServe shows empty folders until I restart my machine

I access an XServe in the company I work for but will continually see empty folders on the server. But, if I restart my computer and re-connect, I can then see the data in the folders (same login creds). This will happen without warning in the middle of the day. Not logging out, etc...
This is from a MacPro 10.5.2, XServe 10.4.11 I believe.
No one else that I'm aware of has this issue.
Thank you for any help regarding this.

What protocol do you use to connect to the XServe (NFS, SMB, AFP)?
Also, if you open a Terminal window and "cd" to a folder on the XServe, and type "ls", can you see the contents of that directory?

IMac internal optical drive reads and plays cd's but DVD's spin for a few moments then eject. Then any drive utility access results in the spinning wheel of doom. Then the optical drive doesn't show up anywhere until a restart. OSX 10.6.8 - Intel Core 2

iMac internal drive locks up after trying to play a DVD. CD's work properly. All preference settings are correct. I have tried several different DVD's that work in other drives. Drive is : HL-DT-ST DVDRW GA11N. After spinning wheel of doom goes away, so does the optical drive in Disk Utility and System Profiler and no disks work because the drive isn't there until a restsrt. Any ideas? Thanks.

The battery alone is a $5 to $15 part. Hard drives vary in cost, and depending on the iMac, they may or may not be able to install a third party hard drive, or one resold through Apple. The resold through Apple drives tend to cost more. This article discusses the varying successes of third party drives on iMacs:

The labor costs depend on the store as well as the time to get the parts in stock. Call around.

Since you've posted in a OES-related forum and reference NSS and "Suse
11 SP2" can I check which version of OES you're using. Please post the
output from "cat /etc/*release".
It would also be useful if you could confirm how up-to-date your server
is regarding patches.
HTH.

Running a mid 2009 iMac on 10.7.5, 3 gb memory, 320 gb hd.
Suddenly the computer stoped reading DVDs and the only time I can read a CD is if I restart. Quite often when I insert a CD it gets stuck and I cannot get it out until I restart and it shows up on the desktop where I can then eject it.
I have checked and double checked the finder prefs and all looks normal showing a check mark on CDs,DVDs etc. (the ones I want to show up on the desktop)
I have reset the PEAM, repaired permissions with both the disk utility on the computer and the disk utility when I start up in the Recovery Disk. I did notice that sometimes the permission repeat the same correction several times before it moves on, and sometimes it doesn’t. I have Windows installed on a partition but I keep it unmounted until it is needed for my wife’s work. The dock seems to be just fine and all the apps seems to run just fine. When I insert a photo CD iPhoto does not open but when I insert a music CD iTunes does open.
Also, most every time I open iPhoto it takes a long time(sometimes as long as 2 minutes) for it to load.
Sometimes my Mail (Mail 5.3) does not post new mail but most of the time it does.
Once and a while it seems like the computer slows way down but then it seems ok ten minutes later.
All of these ‘things’ seemed to have happen suddenly and I have not downloaded anything from the internet in some time.
Of course the warranty and extended warranty are both no longer in effect having had this computer for more than three years.
I am running Java and Adobe Player because some of the sites I go to a lot require both.

I believe that insufficient RAM may be the source of some of your problems. If you have a RAM of somewhere 4 to 8GB, you will experience smoother computing. 3GB doesn't seem right, so you might want to learn more by going to this site:
http://www.crucial.com/store/drammemory.aspx
I don't know what know what's happening with your optical drive, but it seems you use your drive quite a bit. In that case, look into a lens cleaner for your machine. It's inexpensive, works quite well.
I hope you'll post here with your results!

Good point BDAqua, the Escape key helps get me back to reality in Lion.
While I've only dabbled around a little in Lion since it's release (I upgraded a 10.6 Clone to Lion on one of my FireWire Drives) now I'm currently downloading Mountain Lion (to upgrade a Clone of that Lion Clone) so that now I can continue to move forward in madness.
P.S. Trust me, I'm not laughing.

Any idea why? You'd think it'd be immediately available, seems a little clunky. The system isn't running slow, so can't be that.

New Assets and Productions never show up until you hit the Search button - or wait for a rescan.
Maybe that solves your problem?!

My ipad has stopped updating apps. It doesn't even ask for password, it just oges to the apps screen showing empty progress bars. I've re-synced account and restarted but with no luck. Other than deleting the apps is there anyway around this?

OK. I will work backwards.
You certainly don't want to have to delete apps every time that they need an update, for any number of reasons. Losing data first and foremost would be a drag, but the overall hassle would be absurd. All things being equal, you should be able to update apps in the future after you delete them and reinstall them. I delete and reinstall apps all the time and I am also able to update them when updates are available for the apps. I just wanted to know if you had any success in any fashion installing apps.
Resyncing/refreshing the Apple ID/iTunes account wouldn't seem to be the issue either if you can download apps or other content from the iStores. Your ID is being accepted.
That leaves us with I'm not sure what. But I think I would try this trick fix and see if it helps.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off. Set the date one year ahead. Try to update the apps again. If you get an error message, go back to the settings. Correct the date and time (set automatically) then go back and try to update the apps again.

Samba share shows up only after I restart samba

I've been setting up a laptop with Arch to use at work and home. The problem is I can not see my samba share until I restart the samba service. The server is available though. I can connect with \\IPADDRESS\SHARE. It's just not listed under Network Places or smbtree.
I have samba under DAEMONS in rc.conf and I've tried starting it in rc.local too. But even if I leave it out of those and start samba manually, I have to restart samba before the share will show up on any client.
The clients are Arch, Windows, and Ubuntu and the share is not available any of them. And the problem happens when I'm at work or at home. I've been googling, but I can't find much about a share being available but not being listed.

Create Multiple Subfolders in Lightroom or Have Lightroom Pick Up Multiple Empty Folders

I currently have Lightroom organize files into subfolders by date when importing photos. So, for example, when returning from a shoot today, all images will be imported into a subfolder called "2013-12-18", which Lightroom will automatically created if it does not exist.
This is great.
Some of the images in the shoot belong to a set that I want to keep separate from the others. For example, an HDR or focus-stacked or panorama set.
What I do is create subfolders undernear the "2013-12-18" folder and manually move the sets into it. So I might end up with, for e.g.
.../2013-12-18/
.../2013-12/18/Set-01
.../2013-12/18/Set-02
.../2013-12/18/Set-03
... etc.
What I would like to do, however, is to reduce the pain of manually need to create each of the subfolders. Right now, I have to right click the parent folder ("2013-12-18"), select "Create folder inside 2013-12-18", type in "set-01", and repeat and repeat and repeat and repeat. This is very inefficient and tedious.
Now, I can easily write a Bash or Python script to automatically create as many subfolders as I need in the correct parent directory. But Lightroom does not show or recognize these empty subfolders until I go through the above process (i.e. pseudo-"create" the subfolders) OR go to "Library > New Folder" and ask Lightroom to add the new folder. I thought at first that the latter would be the solution (i.e., I could just go to "Library > New Folder" and add all the new, externally-created, empty subfolders. Unfortunately, this dialog only lets me add one folder at time. Quelle douleur!!!
Any suggestions on how to go about doing this? A plugin or somehow record an action? Or maybe change the way I import?
Note that I do not mind actually moving the images belong to a set into each subfolder manually myself. In fact, I cannot imagine doing it any other way, as only I (and not Lightroom) can tell which images belong to a particular set. Yes, I know Lightroom can autostack by capture time, but that is not relevant here because (a) I am not stacking yet and (b) capture time between images in the same set can be highly variable. But I *would* like to automate or otherwise make more efficient the process of creating the subfolders or having Lightroom recognize my externally created empty subfolders.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hi Christoph and all,
So if there can only be one Public Root folder, I have a question about expanding EDMS to incorporate more uses. We have a small group of users now who use it and so they already have the EDIPUBLICROOTFOLDER document created with a certain doc type (FLD) which has some special rules coded with it that the lower level folders and documents inherit from it. Now as part of our PLM project we are going to roll out EDMS to a broad audience who needs more general functionality which will come from an EDIPUBLICROOTFOLDER of a different document type (FOL). Is it possible to create this new pubic root folder and somehow move the existing one with its specialized doc property inheritance to a subfolder within the new public root folder?
Thanks,
Joseph

Folders and duplicates everywhere; empty folders... a mess in the Library

I am tired of iPhoto's difficulty to use as soon as you modify pix and try to move pix from a computer to another.
It creates tones of duplicates files, empty folders and doesn't even recognize px it already imported.
I have the same pix floating everywhere.
THen i tried to delete some folders and files and some pix are now 'offline'.
Any trik other than don't mess with iPhoto, don't modify your pix and don't move them from one computer to the other one.
Help!

xavier
iPhoto is a database. Think of it this way. When you use iPhoto it's like hiring a filing clerk and giving them your shoe box full of photos. "Take these and sort them out so that when I ask for one, you can give it to me, and fast." So the Clerk sets up his filing structure, then goes home for the evening and you go into the filing cabinets and move things around. Next morning, it is any wonder that the Clerk can't find things?
So here's tip one: It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss.
You do everything you need to do via the iPhoto Window - and the good news is that everything you need to do can be done from there. So, ignore the iPhoto Library Folder. There are no user serviceable parts in there.
Want to access a file: There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
To upload to MySpace or any site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser. Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Also, for 10.5 users: If you use the extended Open or Attach dialogue (with Column View) you can scroll to the bottom of the Shortcuts and find the Media browser there. Select any pic you want from there.
Want to use a photo editor? You can set Photoshop (or any image editor)as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically.
FYI: This might explain how the iPhoto Library Folder is laid out: A Note about the iPhoto Library Folder:
In this folder there are various files, which are the Library itself and some ancillary files. Then you have three folders
Originals are the photos as they were downloaded from your camera or scanner.
(ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
This allows the Photos -> Revert to Original command - very useful if you don't like the changes you've made.
(iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.

Single Query suddenly goes slow until database restart or query change

Hello all,
Configuration I'm using is Oracle 10g EE 10.1.0.4.0 on Windows 2003 Server
I have performance issue with one single query. The query is called using dbExpress from Delphi application.
Since a month, almost every week this query starts going VERY slow. Usually it executes in a 0.5-1 second, but when it's slowed down, it takes approx. 4-5 minutes to execute.
The query runs on a single table (~4 000 000 rows) and runs on primary index. The index itself consists of 5 fields - the query uses the first 4 of them. I know it's not a good design but restructuring the table/index is out of question, AFAIK.
Until now, I figured out two ways to speed things up. The first and obvious is to restart the server or shut/start the database. It works. For a week. Then we're back at first square.
The second way is some kind of a mystery to me: If I change the query a little bit, never mind how - for example, adding 'and (1=1)' in the clause, after deploying the application, it starts running fast. Again for a week or so.
I've attached an jpeg showing the explain plans on slow and fast executing queries. They look almost the same.
I'm running out of ideas for now. It's very annoying (and unsafe) to restart the machine on a week basis. Thus any help is greatly appreciated.
Things I've done so far:
- installed last service packs from Oracle and Microsoft.
- tried different versions of dbexpora.dll.
- Regularly gathered and estimated statistics and analyzings.
- Made sure that the server is not under heavy load (antiviruses, firewalls, archive loggers are stopped or uninstalled for a while).
- made sure that there is enough free space on hard disks.
- the disk array itself is in good health - defragmented, HDD tools doesn't find anything suspicious.
Final thoughts: Maybe the sql cache is going overloaded and someway stops executing the query. That's why when I restart the machine or change the query clause insignificantly, it starts running fast. I took a peek on v$sql and v$sqlarea but there is nothing special, and honestly, I'm not very familiar reading the values in this view - I'm just comparing the values returned by this query with the others - they look similar.
Anyway, if someone could help, it would be great.
Regards,
Ivan

Sorry for the incomplete information. I tried to gather the mentioned in your second link additional data. Unfortunately, I cannot find the TKPROF utility - it's not in the bin directory, neither in any other folder. Guess it's not installed at all.
About rewriting the query, suggested in the first link you gave: it's so simple and clear that it should not be rewriten. As I mentioned before, every time I change the query even a little bit, it starts running well for a couple of days.
Anyway, here are the stats I've just gathered. Unfortunately, now the query performs well and I'm not able to give you stats, showing the slowed down query.
These are the parameters relevant to the optimizer:
SQL> show parameter optimizer
NAME TYPE VALUE
optimizer_dynamic_sampling integer 2
optimizer_features_enable string 10.1.0.4
optimizer_index_caching integer 0
optimizer_index_cost_adj integer 100
optimizer_mode string ALL_ROWS
SQL> show parameter db_file_multi
NAME TYPE VALUE
db_file_multiblock_read_count integer 32
SQL> show parameter db_block_size
NAME TYPE VALUE
db_block_size integer 8192
SQL> show parameter cursor_sharing
NAME TYPE VALUE
cursor_sharing string EXACT
Screenshots of explain plan is posted in my first post - both for fast and slow executed query.

PS: I'm not a DBA myself, I'm just trying to find a solution to this problem.
Thanks in advance.

While updating ipod touch 4 i got an error message now stuck with apple symbol and empty bar. can i restart ipod?

while updating ipod touch 4 i got an error message now stuck with apple symbol and empty bar. can i restart ipod?

- What was the error message?
- Try closing iTunes and then disconnect the iPod from the computer. Then reconnect the iPod. If the iPod shows in iTunes then you can try again. However, You should try to resolve the error message first.
- If iTunes does not see the iPod try reetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- I recommend that you come back with the what the error message said and the condition of the iPod and if it is visible in iTunes.
