AFP disconnects users, file opening problems, abnormal exits and bus errors

Hi all
Since a few weeks we have been having problems with AFP file sharing with OS X Server 10.5.5 (Simple config)
Several times a day the server stops responding to save commands (especially with Adobe software) or abruptly disconnects users. The console error most frequently associated with these crashes is:
"com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.AppleFileServer[3674]) Exited abnormally: Bus error"
sometimes starting server preferences we get the following error (roughly translated from French):
An Error has occured on the server while executing a command.
the error "CANNOTFSGETVOLINFOERR" occured while executing a command of type "getVolumeList" in the module "servermgr_filebrowser"
I'm past hoping for a quick fix but any pointers or ideas of what to look for would be greatly appreciated.

I just want to make sure I have the steps clear.
disable the automounts in 'Filesharing' in Server Admin
I disable the automounts in the File Sharing tab of Server Admin by clicking on each share point and clicking the Unshare button.
then remove the sharepoints
How? Isn't that automatic? I chose to unshare a share point and it disappeared from the list. Is that enough?
Then in Terminal.app do:
sudo rm /private/var/etc/AFP.conf
Then:
sudo rm /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleFileServer.plist
Then in Server Admin, restore the sharepoints back and automounts. Then restart the AFP service.
I restore the share points by manually choosing to share each of them again? I'll have to redefine each one, won't I?
Thanks for the help. I haven't done this before and I want to make sure I'm doing it right.

Error when opening iTunes : iTunes has stopped working '' A problem caused the program to stop working correctly''.
When I repaired damaged files the problem still exists and also after uninstalling, redownloading and reinstalling iTunes.
My pc is working with windos 8.
Is there a solution?

Hey there Rodney274,
It sounds like you are getting an error from iTunes when you launch it. I would try the troubleshooting in this article named:
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
Start with troubleshooting for 3rd party plug ins section, then the rest of the article if needed:
Start iTunes in Safe Mode
Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
Click Continue.
See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

The iTunes library file cannot be saved. and unknown error occucrred (-54)

The iTunes library file cannot be saved. and unknown error occurred (-54)
Help!! What does this mean?

Hi Mr.Jones,
I started with the questions marks because I did not understand what you were asking.
I had the impression that yo wanted to make a backup of the Library.
The Library is "saved" in it's standard folder when you change something. Restarting iTunes, or even restarting the Macbook normally solves problems.

[notice] child pid 1256 exit signal Bus error (10) ????

Hi,
I have something in my httpd error log,
can someone explain what's that means ?
[notice] child pid 1256 exit signal Bus error (10)

It means that the child process #1256 crashed while processing a request from a client.
This is most often caused by a CGI or other script that's badly written. Apache, generally, is very stable, and problems like these almost always come down to plug-ins and scripts. The issue, of course, is determining the request that triggered the crash.
If your machine isn't too busy, you might try to cross-reference the access and error logs to see if you can identify the request, either by timestamp, result code or similar. Once you find what's causing the crash you can take steps to fix it.

File Open problem

After updating to the most recent security I have the following problems with Text edit and MS Word.
I cannot use File Open to access a file. I get the spinning ball and application not responding. I can double-click the text or Word file and they will open.
Does this make sense? Anyone have a suggestion?

It's more likely a configuration problem in the server itself, it must be configured to open that format for some reason.
You could create a download server which reads the file from disk and outputs it to the browser using the content-type "application/octet-stream". That will force a download box. Search this forum, it is asked almost every day.

Problems shutting down and getting 'Error -39 when trying to open my files

After working all evening using my Macbook Pro, I close out all my programs and shut down the computer.
However, the computer refuses to shut down. The screen freezes and just sits there. After about 10 minutes of waiting I eventually hold down the power button to shut the computer off.
When I restart the MacBook Pro and try to open the file I was working on, I get the following error. 'While attempting to access [FILE], the file manager reported an error -39.'
Why does this keep happening?
MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB Ram MHz DDR3
Mac OS X 10.5.8
Finale 2010
Logic Studio 9
Yamaha PSR-310 via Midi Interface
null

I don't think you're having an Apple hard disk issue, because your other applications are working without problems.
I believe you are getting the corrupted file(s) (End of file, Error -39) because you are powering off the computer before the application and the computer have completely shut down.
I can't tell you why it is happening, but I suspect that the Finale application is being extremely slow to shut down, and it is leaving the '.mus' file open until it quits.
*Kostby, thanks so much for your reply. I actually work for a software company, so I asked a few people around here and they agree with you. For some reason, the application is taking a very, very long time to quit, and it's causing the computer to keep running instead of shutting down.*
Perhaps some file was corrupted in the old version of the Finale application was carried over with the upgrade? Have you tried reinstalling the application?
*I haven't, but this is a good idea. I will completely remove the program and start over.*
Hardware...
I notice that the keyboard dates from 2006/2007.
*Actually, it's from 1993 (time flies...)*
Is the midi interface Firewire or USB?
USB
Does the midi interface ever cause an error or a 'hang' with or without the keyboard?
*Not that I'm aware of. I haven't used it in awhile, and it's not been connected to the computer in weeks.*
Are there software drivers needed to make the Midi interface work with the Mac.
*No, I simply plugged it in and it worked. No extra software or drivers needed.*
Are the drivers old? (e.g. 10.4.x or 10.5.3)
N/A
Have you tried saving the file to a USB flash drive, rather than a physical hard disk?
*I haven't, but I'll need to save a few tonight if I do a reinstall of Finale.*
Powering off vs suspending vs leaving it run...
Do you get the 'spinning beachball' (spindump) when Finale apparently hangs?
*No spinning beachball. The desktop simply freezes...*
What happens if you leave it on for an hour or overnight after the apparent 'hang'?
*Never done that. Longest I've left it alone during the 'hang' has been about 15 minutes.*
Does the screen ever come back and let you use the computer again?
*After 15 minutes I would hit the power button and force it to shut off. I've never allowed it to go on for this long. I just thought if it didn't come back after 15 minutes it wasn't ever coming back.*
Does the file corruption occur when you suspend the application by closing the lid, rather than shutting it off?
*I've never just closed the lid on my Macbook Pro. I've always either set it to sleep or shut down and waited for it to do so before closing the lid.*
Thanks again for the great suggestions. I will try them all this evening when I get home from work.
Best,
Dana

CP5 Button WIdget FILE Open problems

Hi,
I'm running CP5. I want to have a button that exists on ALL slides, so I used the button widget. I want it to open a file when clicked. I keep getttnig "file does not exist errors". Now I know the file exists because to test, I also put a regular button on slide 1 and had it open the same file, so the file is there and can be opened. All other aspects of the button widget seem to work (open URL, go to next, etc), but I can't get the file open to work. What am I missing here?
Help....
Thanks,
Lori

Are you pointing to another CP-file? You have to point to the cptx-file, not to the published SWF.

Spinning rainbow wheel for long periods on File Open commands in Acrobat and Office 365 programs

Hardware & Software:
MacBook Pro (17-inch, Mid 2009)
77GB of free hard disk space
8GB RAM
Running OS X Yosemite (Version 10.10.2)
Over the last few days, when I try to execute a File Open command from Adobe Acrobat or Office 365 programs (even from an innocuous location such as Documents), I get the spinning rainbow wheel for long periods of time (10 seconds to minutes) before I am able to select a file to open. I copied messages from Console after a File Open command for each of Adobe Acrobat and Excel (the selected location was Documents), given below:

Can anyone give me an idea of what these messages mean and how I can solve this problem?
If I'm not in the correct Community for this question, could someone kindly tell me where I should re-post?
Thanks.

Yes; I have previously connected to an iMac at this location using File Sharing. However, in my attempts to solve this problem last week, I had already unchecked File Sharing in System Preferences. Tonight, I also deleted the folder from the window in the File Sharing System Preferences page, then rebooted. The problem still persists.
I try not open files across a server line, i.e., I try always to copy a file to the local computer and open it there. I may have gotten careless and tried to open a file from the Windows server with either or both Acrobat and Office 365. Although this was an SMB share, is it possible that these programs are now trying to connect to the Windows server on a File Open?
I had about decided to quit chasing this problem; we spend about two weeks every two months at this Boston location, and I'll be returning to my Florida home this weekend. So I decided I would see what the situation was when I returned to my native habitat, although I may be chasing this problem again in our trip to the Boston area in April.
The other thing I wondered (I guess I can't quite let it go), is whether there is a command line in Terminal that would kill all AFP shares.
In any case, thanks for your help; you're very knowledgeable.

When Photoshop CC is executed, the first File- Open takes 30 seconds and every File- Open after that is instant. Why is this?

I have Photoshop CC in my Laptop. When I first load it/execute photoshop, File -> Open it takes approx 30 seconds to return a selection. If I do another File -> Open after this it is instant.
If I Quit Photoshop and reload it the first File -> Open takes another 30 seconds and then instant. It is only the first Occurrence.
I have a Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD 4GB RAM.
If I do start -> Photoshop -> Previously used file it loads no problem.
If I try the same things with Photoshop CS5 no problem.
Why?
Forgot to add that I am running windows 7 x64 if that makes a difference.
I have found the problem. I disconnected the internet from my laptop and it worked instantly. So Adobe you need to improve your response times on this facet of the login as it is a pain.
Now I will stop looking for problems with my system....
Please advise if there is a work around...
Thanks
Ron

Looking at my dbus messages above, the following section from pacman.log looks very suspicious:
$ grep disk /var/log/pacman.log
[2010-03-26 22:57] installed devicekit-disks (009-5)
[2010-03-26 22:57] installed gnome-disk-utility (2.28.1-1)
[2010-04-01 07:52] removed devicekit-disks (009-5)
[2010-04-01 07:52] installed udisks (1.0.0-2)
[2010-04-01 07:53] upgraded gnome-disk-utility (2.28.1-1 -> 2.30.1-1)
[2010-04-10 11:07] upgraded udisks (1.0.0-2 -> 1.0.1-1)
No time currently to check if downgrading these helps. Also looks kinda complicated because udisks replaces devicekit-disks.
This also looks somehow related: http://groups.google.com/group/linux.de … 0f49cd9b53
Edit:
OK, the symptoms can be replicated with the following command sequence:
sudo /etc/rc.d/dbus restart
udisks --dump # <-- this takes forever.. 24 seconds on my system
udisks --dump # <-- any subsequent calls finish instantly, 0.043 seconds on my system

I can't open pdf files with Ibooks app. The files open for some seconds and then they disappear! Thanks

Files open and disappear in few seconds!

It sounds like the app is crashing for whatever reason. Start with simple, easy things.
Quit iBooks and restart the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If those things do not help - you may want to consider deleting the iBooks app and reinstall it. Make sue that all of your books and pdf files have been backed up and synced with iTunes before you delete the app.
