Are these Permission OK?
When I run repair permissions, these seem to always pop up, even after I just had a huge problem and had to reinstall the OS ... is this OK?
In case it matters, this is my mac pro, on which i have a dedicate boot volume with library, system, applications... and a home drive which contains my home folder.
here goes:
Repairing permissions for “Boot Drive”
Reading permissions database.
Reading the permissions database can take several minutes.

What are these mysterious documents on my hard drive?
I was out of town for the last 3 weeks, so no one was using my home computer, but I left it on anyway. I normally never turn it off, unless I'm rebooting it or moving it. Upon returning home, I woke it up and opened the Finder window, I found 3 mysterious 4kb documents on my hard drive. These were not in my Home folder, but were sitting above the Applications folder in Finder. They weren't there before I left town. All three of them were dated differently. One a month for Sept., Oct., and Nov. Very odd. When I try to open them, I get a message saying, " The document "" could not be opened. You don't have permission. To view or change permissions, select the item in the Finder and choose File>Get Info." So I did this and I got no useful information. I ran a Disk Permission - Repair Permissions and still could not open these documents. I decided to delete them.
Then today, I find there's another one, with the time stated as being Today, 1:36 AM. The others also had early morning hours attached to them too. So it appears to be the exact same sort of thing. What the heck are these documents and why are they suddenly appearing on a monthly basis?John,
Thanks for telling me how to do the screen shot thing, I never knew.
You can see in the Finder window the first thing is the unknown document that showed up yesterday.
Next is the Get Info window you asked for, which says I can open it using TextEdit, but it's locked.
When I try to open it using TextEdit by clicking on the Open with TextEdit.app, which is the only option, I got this:
Clicked the Continue button and got this message:
So next I clicked on Update and got this message:
Clicking on the OK button closed the message windows but the Info window remained opened.
As I said in my original post, I've been getting these unkown documents once a month since September 2012. I had never seen them before this week though.
What do you think they are, should I be concerned about them or just delete them and not worry? -
Exchange 2010 Room Calendar Permissions are too permissive when Default is set to None.
Help! Room Calendar permissions are too permissive when Default is set to None.
We are a brand new Exchange 2010 shop, and have setup several conference rooms. Many of them are restricted to specific groups to book via In-Policy Requests using Resource Booking Attendant. The Room Calendar permissions for most
rooms shows only two options for the Default access: None and Full Details. Default is set to None, yet if someone opens the room calendar in Outlook (& they are not part of the In-Policy restrictions) they are able to see the full meeting details
(even open the meeting for full details). How is this possible when by default they should not have any access as it is set to None? Some rooms would not be a problem for clients to see the details, but some rooms like Executive rooms need to be
locked down so that others cannot see the room details - None.
I also found this, although it did not make a difference. If I create an Outlook profile for the room and login as the room calendar in Outlook, go to File, Options, Calendar, Resource Scheduling, Set Permissions I get different default options:
None, "Free/Busy time", "Free/Busy time, subject, location" and Full Details. Why do I have more options in this view rather than the Room Calendar Permissions? I looked at two rooms and both Default options were set to "Free/Busy
time", so I changed these settings to None. Still the clients can view the full room calendar details. What are we missing to get the room calendar locked down so it is not displaying details to everyone?Only the default groups and Exchange Admins have Full Access to these items, so that is not the issue.
-MailboxFolderPermission 1RP07AWest:\Calendar cmdlet and it shows the same access I see when I open the calendar in Outlook and view the Permissions as shown below - Default is set to None.
As I stated in my last reply the only thing that finally forced it to be blocked is changing the Resource Scheduling permissions under Options > Calendar for that room mailbox. If I have to do that for each room calendar, it's going to
take considerable time to change each one. Is there a cmdlet to allow me to access and change that setting as well?

Usr/sbin/pppd and usr/sbin/vpnd. What are these?
In performing a permissions repair, it listed usr/sbin/pppd and usr/sbin/vpnd as having been modified and unable to repair. I also performed a permission repair by booting from the Leopard disc, and got the same results.
What are these, what do they do, and where are they? I couldn't locate them through a search.Jim Ireland wrote:

As Limnos says, don't worry about the messages.
What are these, what do they do, and where are they? I couldn't locate them through a search.
pppd and vpnd are daemons (faceless helper programs). pppd is the Point-to-Point Protocol Daemon, commonly used by dial-up modems and DSL and other kinds of network links. vpnd is for VPNs, or virtual private networks.
Read the man pages for pppd and vpnd for more information (possibly even more than you wanted to know).
And as Limnos says, they live in directories that don't get searched.

In our enterprise MPLS network we are using 192.168.20.0/24 subnet, in this subnet we have not assigned the IP 192.168.20.200/30 & 204/30, But still these subnets are reachable . Are these NNI IP ...Please explain.
I have checked with ISP, there response is like below:
Those are the NNI to GBNET IPs for Dominican Republic. They are Network IPs. You should be able to ping them-that means they are working.

Thank you! This may sound lame but are these instructions for my blackberry? I'm receiving iCloud emails without problems on my MacBook Pro and I'd rather not mess w/ settings there. Thanks again!
You don't need to start a new thread to continue a conversation, you can just tack onto the original one. The settings I referred you to are for the Blackberry, since that's the device which is not receiving mail: anything which is working can be left alone.

What are these processes and how do I prevent them?
For many years, many have complained of external drives that are in standby/sleep spinning up for no apparent reason. From the user's point of view this is unnecesssary, but to make matters worse, the system usually stops everything else while waiting for the drives.
I have a Mac mini that I use as a home theater pc. The media and backups are on a 5-bay enclosure (no RAID) attached by USB. While watching a video, the unused drives will go into standby mode, which is good. But then, with no user activity, they will spin up, freezing the video and everything else, which is not good. As these are slow drives and spin up sequentially, this can take 10-20 seconds. This may happen once or twice an hour, but sometimes more frequently.
In looking into the causes, I have turned off time Machine (after putting these drives into the Privacy section for good measure). I also prevented Spotlight and fsevents logging with the following:
mdutil -i off /Volumes/<drive1> /Volumes/<drive2> . . .
cd /Volumes/<drive1 and then repeat for other drives>
rm -rf .fseventsd .Spotlight-*
mkdir .fseventsd
touch .fseventsd/no_log .metadata_never_index
As far as I can tell this has worked to stop those processes from accessing the drives after they are mounted, but the problem persists. To find out what else might be causing them to wake up:
sudo fs_usage -w | grep -e Volumes/<drive1> -e /Volumes/<drive2> . . .
and here is what I found last night (actually didn't use the -w last night, thus it is cut off):
18:35:36 fsgetpath /Volumes/XBMC 0.000026 SSDragHelper
18:35:36 fsgetpath /Volumes/Stuff 0.000006 SSDragHelper
18:35:36 fsgetpath /Volumes/DatOptic_3 0.000005 SSDragHelper
18:35:36 fsgetpath /Volumes/MacBackUp 0.000003 SSDragHelper
18:36:15 fsgetpath /Volumes/XBMC 0.000026 System Prefe
18:36:15 fsgetpath /Volumes/Stuff 0.000004 System Prefe
18:36:15 fsgetpath /Volumes/DatOptic_3 0.000003 System Prefe
18:36:15 fsgetpath /Volumes/MacBackUp 0.000003 System Prefe
18:55:36 fsgetpath /Volumes/XBMC 0.000034 GoogleSoftwa
18:55:36 fsgetpath /Volumes/Stuff 0.000004 GoogleSoftwa
18:55:36 fsgetpath /Volumes/DatOptic_3 0.000003 GoogleSoftwa
18:55:36 fsgetpath /Volumes/MacBackUp 0.000003 GoogleSoftwa
After looking into the Google process, I was surprised to find the tentacles that Google puts into your system, and ripped every bit of it out that I could. But I have no idea about what's going on with SSDragHelper and System Prefe (presumable System Preferences). This must be OS X itself? What are these processes doing, and is there any way to prevent them from accessing these disks in this way?Thanks for the reply Hen3ry. Looks like you've done a lot of investigation. For me, fs_usage entries accompanying spindown are not problems - I'm happy if the drives spin down. My problem is the spinups. But still, I don't think it is necessary to time the fs_usage entries with spinups. If you grep for the drives you're concerned about, you will see any process that would potentially wake them up.
Because my understanding is limited, I also am more concerned with the process/application that is accessing the drives than with the functions or commands they are sending. And the values that are returned by those functions are way beyond what I can deal with.
It's interesting that you've found a difference between your old and new drives. Could you specify the enclosure and drives in each case?
The StorageStatus app looks interesting; thanks for the tip.
Here's a summary of what I've done so far, which I think is working. I need a few more weeks to know for sure.
How to prevent unwanted drive spin-ups
If you are actively using the computer that the enclosure is attached to, nothing on God’s green earth will stop OS X from waking them up after some user action, even ones that seem to have nothing to do with the external drives. But if you leave the computer alone while some application is running, like watching a movie or downloading a file, you have a fighting chance of coaxing OS X into leaving the uninvolved drives alone.
If the drives are shared with any other computers over a network, eject them on those computers
Otherwise, OS X (AppleFileServer) will poll them every 10 seconds. This might not be bad if you want to just keep the drives spinning and the other computer stays awake.
Third-party apps
Make sure no apps are running that might access your drives. Google runs some processes that do this (maybe I’m naïve, but I was so shocked I removed chrome and every other trace of Google from my Mac mini system). Another is iStat and any utility that monitors SMART status in the background.
Don’t let Spotlight index or search the drives
Spotlight is persistent, and it may be necessary to take a variety of steps to stop its various processes (mds, mdworker) from accessing the drives and waking them up. In other words, kill it, drive a stake through its heart, then burn the body:
In System Preferences > Spotlight, add the drives to the Privacy pane.
Add a file called .metadata_never_index to the root of each drive (note the leading period). The easiest way to do this is in Terminal
touch /Volumes/<drive1>/.metadata_never_index
Tell Spotlight AGAIN to keep away from the drive:
mdutil -i off /Volumes/<drive1> /Volumes/<drive2> . . .
Finally delete the Spotlight folder from the drive.
rm -rf /Volumes/<drive1>.Spotlight-*
Stop fseventsd from logging in the drive
This is easy, just putting a no_log file in its folder. I have found that rarely it still writes some files in there, but it doesn’t seem to do so when it causes problems, so . . .
rm –rf /Volumes/<drive1>/.fseventsd/*
touch /Volumes/<drive1>/.fseventsd/no_log
Finder sidebar
Some people say that if the drives show in the Sidebar of Finder windows, the Finder will be checking them. I’m not sure. But to be safe, in Finder Preferences > Sidebar, uncheck External Disks.
Just say no to Time Machine
On the home theater mac itself, regular backups shouldn’t be needed. You should be able to just turn Time Machine off. However, it is probably sufficient to simply open System Preferences > Time Machine > Options and add the drives to the list of locations to exclude from backup.
Second, local backups can be disabled with
sudo tmutil disablelocal
Look for other culprits
If the problem persists, use fs_usage, which generates a real-time log of filesystem activity. There is so much going on that you need to use grep to restrict the output to entries that involve your drives. The entries that accompany your drive spin-ups are the ones you really want.
sudo fs_usage -w | grep -e Volumes/<drive1> -e /Volumes/<drive2> . . .
Now leave the keyboard and mouse alone, as many things you might do will cause the drives to be accessed. You probably want to find what does it when you’re not actively interacting with the computer. It’s not really necessary to wait for your drives to sleep and see what wakes them. Any activity you see would probably wake the drives if they were asleep. When you see some activity and want to stop and examine, type Control-C to stop the output. On the far right of each entry is the process or application that accessed the disks.

Are these suggestions speficic to the Windows version of Firefox? Because on my Mac version (31.0) there is no "options" in the Tool menu.
I'm trying to figure out why Firefox has no spellcheck. I suspect it needs dictionaries installed, but it's a bit of a mystery. I had to reste FF as it kept crashing after I updated to V31.0Yes Options is for Windows.
On Mac you use "Firefox > Preferences" or the Preferences button in the "3-bar" Firefox menu button drop-down list.
You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu.
At least one dictionary should be installed and have a check mark to indicate that it is selected.
*Open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one.
*Make sure that [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu is check-marked.
You can enable or disable spell checking globally:
*Firefox > Preferences > Advanced : General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"
You can look here for dictionaries:
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/language-tools/
Were you able to stop the crashes? -

Are these Seagate 2TB drives compatible in my Mac Pro Quad Core 2.66 GHz?
I still have an Apple Mac Pro "Quad Core" 2.66 that was introduced August 7, 2006. I currently have 4 of the following Seagate internal hard drives installed: ST3750640AS SEAGATE BARRACUDA 7200.10 - HARD DRIVE - 750 GB - INTERNAL - 3.5" - SATA-300 - 7200 RPM - BUFFER: 16 MB
I want to know if these hard drives will work in this computer: Seagate Barracuda XT ST32000641AS 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive.This computer is powered by two 2.66 GHz dual core Intel Xeon 5150 processors.
The old drives were purchased from NewEgg and I want to purchase the new ones from there also. Are these 2TB drives compatible in my computer?
Thanks,
Lou HostaSATA is SATA.
Apple introduced GPT (GUID) years ago to support 2TB and larger (default partition scheme).
SATA III is also backward compatible with SATA II (otherwise, who would Seagate have to sell to?)
The only issues have been with green drives, using green version for RAID or for performance purposes. -
I have just purchased the new macbook pro 15" and see that it comes with 2 discs in the box, one being Mac OS X and the other being Applications Install DVD. Are these pre installed? or do I need to insert the discs and install them?
All has been installed. Those are there in case you need to do a reinstall. Unlike most Windows based hardware vendors these days. Apple still ships software you might need in case a drive fails. Even in the case of the new MacBook Air, Apple ships the software on a flash drive.

Hi shldr2thewheel,
it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
Sincerely in need of help once again,
