Application and General Failure

I've had my MacBook for over 3 years now. It keeps closing my applications while I'm using them, whether it be safari, excel, word, mail, etc. Then is unable to reload them until I completely restart my computer. It happens fairly frequently. Sometimes the screen will freeze, go grey and tell me to restart randomly too. What do I do? Can this be fixed? I need my Mac for school and it's getting very frustrating losing papers midway through. Thanks!

Is Firefox your default browser? You have to have a default browser because the email client just sends out a notice to the default browser.

Ping drop and general Failure on wireless

Hi all,
I am facing the ping drop and general failure error when I am connected to AP and try to do ping any IP with the ping size is 5500 bytes.Print screen shot is attached for your reference.
Product/Model Number : AIR-AP1242AG-A-K9
Regards
Ali Raza

yes that is what I mean. And you cannot figure out if this is happening or not. Don't rely on the wireless connection icon on windows.
It can be possible that your wireless adapters notices that the RF is busy and there were a few packet drops so it reconnects quickly. It's usually transparent to applications but if you are running a ping at that time ...
In any case, conclusion is : check your RF environment. How many APs around ? a lot of traffic ?

ADDON and general failure

Hello,
I work with SBO 6.5 and SDk 6.5.
I have registered my first addon.
Always seems to work fine ...
But sometimes when I shoot down the SAP application I have the "general failure" error ... even if I have coded an aet_shutdown event with "End" to stop the addon ...
some ideas ?
Thanks.
Romeo Georgievski.

Hi,
You can try this in the shutdown event
SBO_Application = Nothing
oCompany= Nothing
System.GC.Collect()
Application.Exit()
End

When i click on a web link in an email, i receive a "general failure" message reading "an error occured in sending the command to the application". this has only started since my upgrade to 5.0

i have an HP Pavilion with Windows 7, Outlook 2007 and Firefox 5.0. since my upgrade to 5.0, i receive the following error message when clicking on a url in an email. message reads:
General failure. The URL was: [here it repeats the URL]. An error occurred in sending the command to the application.
what is the cause? what can be done to correct?
thanks in advance.

I have the same problem after updating to 6.0.2 on Win 7 Pro SP1. Did not have any problems prior to upgrade to 6.0.2. (setting IE as default browser - yuk - allows links to be clicked with no problem)

Ping and Tracert return General Failure

My PC resolves the hostname to the correct IP but my ping and tracert return error "General Failure." (and tracert immediately gives the error, indicating an issue with my machine).
I tried using a fix that I found through google, the command 'netsh winsock reset' but that was to no avail. I almost thought it worked as I could access the site after the restart, but this was while my applications were still loading. I refresh the page
and I get the Firefox cannot connect error.
This leads me to believe there may be some kind of fault on my configuration somewhere but I have no anti-virus nor firewall application running though I have however used Spybot's Search and Destroy immunizer tool, which includes modification to my HOSTS
file. Other than that I don't believe I have any application that could be causing an issue with site access.
I am running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 with SP1.

Hi,
Firstly, please let me know which destination you tried to ping and tracert? Can you access this website using the IP address?
Meanwhile, please try the following to test the issue:
1. Register DNS via command on Windows 7:
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns
2.
Reset hosts file
3. Test the issue in
Clean Boot mode to check whether this is a third party tool issue.
Hope this helps.

After updating to Firefox 3.6.9, when I click on a link in Outlook email, I get a message which says "General failure. The URL was: .... An error occurred in sending the command to the applicatio." and the link will not open. How can I fix this?

I updated Firefox yesterday to 3.6.9. When I receive a URL link in an email within Outlook, I cannot open the link in Firefox. As I said in the question, when I click on the link, a Microsoft Office Outlook error message appears which states that a General failure has occurred in sending the command to the application (which is Firefox). I am using Office 2007 This did not occur prior to the upgrade of Firefox.

See this lnk for a fix, it worked for me!

Tuxedo calls procedure and Application Level Service Failure

hello ,professors all!
My Tuxedo Service just call an procedure exists in oracle9i, i am sure that the procedure runs ok in oracle9i individually, when it was called by my tuxedo service , it is not ok by first time ,and runs out tp application level Service failure error .But strangely it is ok by second time！
who can explan it to me and show me a way to solve the difficult problem?
i spend a lot time wondering the answer!
Edited by: user9086437 on 2010-9-29 下午9:57

There are many possible reasons why a database procedure might fail the first time it is executed and succeed after that.
You should check the Tuxedo ULOG and Oracle database logs for any messages that may point to the problem.
If there is a LIBTUX_CAT:6205 or LIBTUX_CAT:6206 message in the userlog file then you need to add a tx_open() call to your server's tpsvrinit() or tpsvrthrinit() function.
If there is an OPENINFO string for the group where your server is running then you are using XA transaction management and should not be connecting to the database in your application code; if there is not an OPENINFO string for the group where your server is running then you need to connect to the database in your application.
If you set the environment variable
TMTRACE=*:ulog:dye
for the server where the failure is happening then Tuxedo will write a trace record of each Tuxedo call and each XA call to the ULOG file. This can be helpful in determining why the failure is happening on the first call, especially if Tuxedo is handling transaction management using XA.
I hope some of this is of help in debugging the problem.

Application Creation and Trigger Failure

Everything was going just fine, in Version 8.6 UCCX running a debug. Then suddlenly for no apparent reason, the Application failed no matter what script I attached to it. Everytime you called the Trigger you got the default system error. Again, understand all this was working just fine for several days of debugging. So after syncing data, resetting trigger I deleted the Trigger and recreated it. No dice. I then deleted the Application and recreated it and then tried to add the Trigger and fails to add the Trigger? So now I have confused myself to the point of not remembering if I create the Trigger in UCCX or Do I create the Routepoint in CUCM first, then add the trigger. Or does the Trigger create the RoutePoint? Duh... - HM

Haha, I like the Duh at the end.
UCCX uses the AXL account you gave it to dynamically build CTI Route Points and CTI Ports on CUCM. So, the answer is, you create the Trigger in UCCX, and do not touch the CUCM for CTI RP configurations.
Sometimes the CUCM config can become out of sync with what UCCX "thinks" it should be, and a quick way to fix it, is to delete the remnence of the trigger (the CTI RP and the DN) from CUCM manually, then run a data resync on UCCX to have UCCX rebuild it.
In the event that the opposite is true: Trigger is missing from UCCX but exists within CUCM, then you need to still delete it from CUCM manually, then rebuild it from within UCCX after you've cleaned up CUCM.
Hope that helps.

Hi Vijai_aala,
Are there any error messages recorded in the Event Viewer ?
Event Viewer \Windows Logs \Application ,System ,Setup
Please also check the update history for any failed update.
We can take the folowing steps to have a troubleshoot :
1.Reinstall the network adapter driver from the device manager .It is recommended to download the driver from the manufacturer website.
2.Run the built-in troubleshoot to have a check .
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Troubleshooting\Network and Internet\Network Adapter,Internet Connections
3.Run the following command line to reset the TCP/IP stack.
ipconfig /flushdns (Clear the dns cache)
nbtstat -RR (release and refesh NetBIOS names)
netsh int ip reset (reset ip settings)
netsh winsock reset (Reset Winsock Catalog)
Reboot
4.If the issue persists,perform a system restore to recover the machine to a previous point .(Search system restore directly)

Time Machine hangs and prevents application and machine shut down

I've been having problems with my Time Machine over the last few weeks and seem completely unable to fix it.
When time machine starts to back up my machine, it hangs (the clock icon in the top right hand corner of the screen spins, but the backup disk is not being accessed and currently Time Machine shows no backup in the last five days). Once it has hung, various applications start to behave oddly and generally I am unable to shut them down, even via force quit.
Eventually when I try restarting the machine, it clears everything from the screen except the desktop background and then refuses to go any further.
Through tinkering I think the problem is the Time Machine disk, but I've run Disk Utility on it, and it says that the drive is ok. At one stage I deleted the Time Machine backup and started again, which was fine for a week, but now I've got the same problems again.
I do get these messages in console:
Apr 8 11:09:55 christopher-arthurs-computer-3 /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.fra mework/Support/lssave[167]: Wrote corrupt store file /Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices-0230.csstore_corrupt

Any ideas? I'm getting very frustrated by all of this.
Thanks

It's possible the drive is beginning to fail. They are mechanical beasts, after all, with moving parts and bearings, and don't last forever, and they do fail without a complete crash. You might try stopping TM, then using Disk Utility to +Erase Free Space+ on it, just to see if DU can write to the unused part successfully. Passing isn't necessarily a clean bill of health, but a failure would be a clear sign.
Any ideas? I'm getting very frustrated by all of this.
First, exclude your TM drive from any anti-virus scanning, and from Spotlight, at least temporarily (System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy).
None of the posted messages have anything to do with Time Machine backups, except the last few seem to indicate that you may have been trying to do something with the Finder on the TM disk. Normally, you can look, but do not touch any of TM's files. But you do seem to have a corrupt cache you might want to investigate.
Download the +Time Machine Buddy+ widget from: http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/timemachinebuddy.html. It shows the messages from your logs for one TM backup run at a time, in a small window. Navigate to one of the problem backups, then copy and post the messages here (be sure to get them all, as sometimes they overflow the small window).
Or, if you'd rather use Console, filter for the backupd process to get the TM backup messages.

"General failure: Out of memory" when importing clip

Hi,
I am seeing the strangest problem:
- I add the final clip to my project, and double-click it to spawn it in the viewer. The response is a dialog box saying "General failure", and after that one saying "Out of memory". I checked all the memory settings, disk space is abundant. I restart the project (and the macpro), I re-render the clip, which comes from Camtasia, I even export it from QuickTime pro to get a NEW file with most likely no errors in it. I even switched the audio track between little- and big-endian
But this particular clip just won't work.
Any other sequence I use, do just fine. They are all exported from Camtasia Studio; a Windows screen-capture application, as Quicktime files using the animation codec.
My last suspicion is that the frame rate is slightly low. So I am forcing it up to see if that helps. God speed.
If anybody has a clue, has seen this before, please help.
Cheer and best regards;
Edvin

OK, so I found a solution that works, but still Id consider this a bug...
The source clip was originally at a framerate around 0.5 (it was a screendump of a powerpoint presentation, with voiceover). I forced the framerate up above 1.1 by fiddling FPS and keyframe frequency.
The first 2 seconds after import was the same; the clip does not get any Duration, In or Out values in the media browser. Then they appear after a few secs, and FCp seem tohave accepted the media file. Weird, but now at least I got over it, and I am just leaving this remark here if others come across the same: force up the playing FPS - somehow it seems to work.
Cheers;

General Failure - Running DBASE App from Netware on Windows

Hi all,
Our company database is coded in DBASE 5 and is hosted on Novell Netware 6.5 servers.
Our users have always used MS DOS PC's with the novell client to run the application but recently we have began testing the application running under windows XP CMD prompt after connecting using Novell Client.
For the most part everything works however we are experiancing a problem on XP that doesn't exist when run on the MS DOS PC's.
Basically when the app tries to run the DBASE USE / FILE commands on a file that the user doesn't have access too a general failure (CANCEL, IGNORE, RETRY) is shown. Strangely if the user hits CANCEL / IGNORE the correct result is returned e.g. FILE returns .F.
The above problem doesn't occur on MS DOS!
After testing it seems that the windows PC somehow 'knows' the file is there and tries to access it and then fails - could this be the case?
Other windows commands such as DIR / MOVE etc return "A device attached to the system is not functioning"
Any ideas on any settings we can change to prevent this from happening?
Thanks
Robbie

The reason why you cannot access it is because another client has opened
it and has exclusive access to it. In the old days you had to flag such
files as "shareable" with the flag command, but I have not had to use that
for decades..
