Bizarre bootdisk 'problem'

Hi all,
I'm having a bizarre puzzling 'issue' concerning one of my boot hard drives, and I was just wondering if I should be concerned or not.
So recently I reformatted my Bootcamp drive (no need of Windows anymore) with the intent of cloning another start-up disk on it, so that I could reformat the latter from a two partition scheme to a single empty one for data-backup purposes. The HFS+ disk to be cloned was called 'あかり' and I reformatted the Bootcamp drive to HFS+ using a GUID partition table but also named it 'あかり'. Then I wanted to clone the former on the latter using a Carbon Copy Cloner bit-level clone procedure.
However, since both drives were called 'あかり' at this point it was impossible to discern in CCC which was the one to be cloned and which was the clone-to-be . So I temporarily renamed the destination drive '茸' using the Finder. Cloning then proceeded smoothly, after which I renamed the '茸'
drive back to 'あかり' in the Finder and reformatted the other drive to an empty HFS+ drive named '綾子'.
So now the strange behaviour I am seeing is the following: although the freshly cloned drive is seen as 'あかり' everywhere (Disk Utlity, Finder, Startup Disk chooser, ...) and boots just fine, whenever I reboot and hold alt to choose my start-up drive it appears as '茸' in the grey selection screen instead of ’あかり'. I also tried a full cold boot, but to no avail. Again, it does not seem to interfere with the booting or functioning of the clone but it leaves me a bit puzzled (and slightly worried it might perhaps lead to problems down the road).
So is there anybody who might have an idea why this happens (and if it will potentially cause issues later on)?
Thx in advance!

Here is the one thing we've found that seems to be a workaround.
If you are getting this strange error:
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type mypackage:MyClass to an unrelated type Object.
then try removing the offending bit of code that it's complaining about. Recompile. If there are other ones like this, remove them as well, and repeat until you get a successful build.
Once you have built successfully, put back the code that you deleted, and recompile. You won't see the erroneous compiler error after this. If you quit FlexBuilder and restart, you may have to go through all of that nonsense again, so try to keep FB running once you've done those steps above.

  • Bizarre networking problem with multiple 8.1 GA systems -- RT and Pro

    Hi everyone,
    I'm having a particularly bizarre problem with the networking on two Windows 8.1 machines, one running Pro and one running RT. Both demonstrate the same behavior.
    In both cases, networking (wireless most of the time, although I'm not sure it matters) works fine for some period of time. Eventually it just stops working. Resetting the adapter, or flipping in and out of Airplane mode will bring it back again. The issues
    happen on at least 3 wireless access points.  In most cases, the networking actually appears to be up -- the limited access warning icon isn't up, although occasionally it does realize the networking isn't working.
    Here's the bizarre part -- on both systems, local IP connectivity is fine. I can communicate perfectly well between devices on the same internal network, wired or wifi. During the time the networking isn't working on one or the other 8.1 system, other systems
    on the network running Windows 8 (and other systems) work fine. There's no correlation between one 8.1 system stopping working and the other.
    On *both* systems, when the networking appears to be failing, a traceroute actually gets 4-5 (or more) hops before going out to lunch. Other systems on the same internal network will cruise along to the same point on the route that is failing on the 8.1
    machines and keep right on happily continuing the trace.
    So that's the bizarre thing -- something on two 8.1 machines is doing *something* to the packets that is causing them to not route properly to a target system 10-15 hops away, the same routers handling the same kind of traffic from other systems behind my
    firewall work fine, and whatever is happening to the packets that is causing issues resolves itself for some period of time if I reset the adapter.  (The two systems are a MacBook Air and a Surface RT, so there's no drivers in common between them, either.)
    I'm completely at a loss. Anyone see anything like this before, or have any thoughts on what to check?
    (And, please, if you're one of those Microsoft support forum people who skim questions for keywords and cut-n-paste back a generic reply without any actual understanding of the problem -- like so many replies on here -- please do not waste my time. I am
    trying to find someone who knows Windows 8.1 networking, not someone who knows just enough English to use ctrl-c/ctrl-v)

    Hi George,
    There is a known issue about Cisco device. It caused some windows 8 clients disconnected from wifi. I understand your windows 8 clients works fine, when the issue occurred on windows 8.1 clients. However, I think the KB article is worth a shot

  • Totally bizarre Hub3 problem

    I got Infinity installed last week. I already had a Hub 3 (type a) so the engineer used it for the install.
    I had some issues with speed drops and line noise so an engineer rewired my master socket yesterday.
    All was well.
    I had been using my type a hub 3 without issue. But I had heard that type b were better wireless throughput (and possibly better range?)
    So last night I thought I would try the new Hub3 (type b) supplied with infinity. I connected it up (pc via ethernet cable) in a matter of 2 minutes and it connected to the OR modem without problem - all blue lights were on.
    But the odd thing was ... when I tried to go to websites 95% of websites failed to load - only two worked (my bank and play.com) - everything else failed to respond.
    Most odd
    I tried
    * Rebooting Hub
    * Factory Reset
    * reboot PC
    * different pc (laptop - also via ethernet)
    * even tried rebooting OR Modem
    * I check that DNS was working - dns resolved names to ip address on a ping
    * I disabled firewall on PC
    * I tried static private IP address and also DHCP
    All of the above failed - so I swapped back to the type A model and everying was working again.
    My conclusion is that I had a faulty type b hub3  and have asked for a replacement.
    Anyone else hear of such weirdness ?

    Update on this - I have since recieved 2 replacement hub3 type b. All 3 (typeb) exhibit the same behaviour.
    They work fine via wireless but not over ethernet. Over ethernet only certain websites load (play.com, waterstones etc)
    Ive flushed dns, rebooted pc,hub,or modem tried 2 different pcs tried different cables. All with the same issue.
    Still works ok with hub 3(a) so could it be an incompatibility with the OR modem  but its bizarre than wireless works???
    Has anyone else out there got and ECI OR modem, hub 3b and ethernet connnection and its working ok ?

  • Bizarre import problems in both iPhoto and Aperture

    Not sure how to explain this one .....
    Tried importing photos (raw) from Cannon D10 into Aperture. Failed to import a significant number and gave a message saying that the following files were not able to be imported - but the list was blank!
    So I tried the same import into iPhoto and although I still had a failure it was a significant amount less. So this time I tried just importing the failed files into iPhoto again and most of the failed photos went across with a small number still failing.
    So I tried the same technique with Aperture and sure enough some of the failed files made it but not many. same problem with the list of failures being blank.
    So I then imported the originally failed photos from iphoto into Aperture and all was fine.
    I'm down to 2 files that are still failing to get into iPhoto, but it seems that perseverance pays.
    There is nothing about the failed files that seems significant. They are frequently part of a series with exactly the same camera settings as ones that get across first time.
    Duh?

    With your camera connected, and both Aperture and iPhoto not running, try opening Image Capture. See how many images it displays for your camera, and then attempt to download them to a folder on your hard drive. I don't know why you're having issues importing using Aperture, but there are a number of things that Aperture can do and look for during an import that may be causing the problem. Image Capture is more basic in what it does, and may allow you to retrieve your missing images. If Image Capture is unable to get them, I'd try using a card reader.

  • PSE8 - Need help with bizarre selection problem with spot healing and clone tools

    In using clone stamp and spot healing brush--. When I Alt click for my sample I get entire image---acting as if I'm moving a layer---whether I'm working on a single or multi-layer image.  This is PSE8 3 gig ram windows ----Lenovo Core II duo  P8400  @ 2.26 GHZ  with ATI 256 meg graphics
    This sure is fun!!!
    I'm trying to get rid of an old numbering imprint on a film(not digital) image.

    Actually the overlay option is helpful. It shows the region that you are copying - and i dont think thats causing the issue.
    The issue is because you dont have the clip option checked along with Overlay.
    Just make sure you have both Overlay and Clipped options checked and you would not see this problem anymore.

  • Bizarre memory problems with os 10.2.8

    Hi there... i'm running 10.2.8 and have a problem! up until the other day i had around 3 gigs free... whilst my back was turned, my girlfriend scanned a bunch of images, and supposedly saved them on her hard drive via firewire. i'm not sure if that caused the problem, but next time i booted up i had 4 mb free on my drive.!! !! since then, i've tried to compress audio, throw things away, etc... but when i trash files, i often find that the amount of memory available goes DOWN instead of up! as if there was a copy being made of the file or something, instead of it being thrown away.
    i keep getting an error (-51) from itunes when i try to turn an .aiff into an mp3...
    i don't understand in the slightest what is happening and its driving me mad! currently i have 200mb free again, which is causing problems of its own. any advice?!
    thanks,
    will.

    Well, it seems as though you're confusing memory with disk space; the two are completely different.
    First, I would try using Disk Utility to Repair Disk, and then Repair Permissions. If it reports any errors during the Repair Disk process (noted in red), keep running it until no more errors are reported. If your girlfriend did this, what software was she using, and is that drive still connected to your Mac? If it is, disconnect it.
    It's possible she saved these images on your hard disk and didn't delete them, so you need to look around. Do a Finder search of your hard disk for any visible files created or modified on that day that was whatever image format she was scanning them in as, or saving them to; it could be two different formats. If you find them, delete them.
    As for OS X, one of your biggest problems, is that it requires at least 3 GB of free space, beyond all the other stuff you have on the drive, in order to work properly. If you don't have that, you need to get it somehow, even if it means moving applications or files off and/or getting a larger hard drive.
    Until you deal with these other issues, don't import or try to convert any iTunes files. That can wait until later.
    Hope this helps,

  • Even more bizarre WDS problems

    I am setting up a home WDS network with 3 bases, one AEBSn and two expresses. I have all three in the same room. Last night, they were all working. This morning, Airport Utility cannot find one of the expresses. iStumbler shows all three bases with signals between 50-70%.
    So what is the problem here? Is the express faulty? It seems to be broadcasting fine.
    Before anyone else suggests it, there are no other wireless networks in range and no sources of wifi interference in the room.
    Just to test what would happen, I restarted the working express. Nothing happened and I still have a missing express.
    Then I looked at the AEBS. It is reporting that the missing express is a wireless client with a signal of -61, noise of -104 and rate of 1. The signal/noise numbers are close to the other clients, but the other clients all have rates of 54, 54 and 24. One of the clients is the working express, and I guess the other two are my computers.
    I restarted the AEBS and the express simultaneously, and that allowed the other express to become available in Airport Utility. Now, all three bases are back up again.
    Someone please tell me what is going on here. I can't start to distribute the bases around the house if they won't even work in the same room.

    I have been having a similar issue. I have two AEBSn and one express. Every few days one of the clients will disappear and not be found by the airport utiltiy. Like posnera, the missing client shows up aith a rate of 1. I also may or may not get an error message. Often the light is green on bosth the main AEBS and the missing client.
    At first I thought it might have been a range issue but it is happening even when they're all in the same room. Restarting the missing client does the trick but I can't figure out why I keep getting a dropout.
    It's driving me crazy...

  • Bizarre uninstall problem

    I'd been trying to update Acrobat X for quite some time, and it always errored out with the same error, saying that it couldn't access a network location. Our office recently installed new Network Attached Storage, and our Win7 profiles are stored there. So stuff like our desktop and My Documents folder are located on the NAS.
    So when I attempt to update Acrobat, it errors out because it can't find \\the-old-NAS\my-username\Favorites.
    Seriously... Favorites? Why is it such a big deal that Acrobat can't look at my Favorites? It took me a minute to figure out that it meant "the thing that Internet Explorer calls Bookmarks." Haven't opened IE in months.
    So I tried to uninstall. I discovered that Acrobat XI was installed on top of X; it was a silent installer for Creative Cloud that dropped XI onto my drive, but I don't think it was working at all. I uninstalled it successfully. Now I'd like to uninstiall X, but I can't because it errors out on the same "I can't access your Favorites, on the old NAS" problem.
    What should I do? I would like to pull Acrobat entirely and start fresh.

    Actually, Steve, I ran the Acrobat Cleaner Tool, restarted as advised, and attempted to install Acrobat XI via Creative Cloud. The installation failed, and the reason was
    ----------- Payload: Acrobat Professional 11.0.0.0 {23D3F585-AE29-4670-8E3E-64A0EFB29240} -----------
    ERROR: Error 1606.Could not access network location \\the_old_NAS\users\joel\Favorites\.
    So it wasn't Acrobat that was remembering the old NAS location?

  • Bizarre TileList problem in AIR that doesn't appear in Flex version

    In my application I have some drag and drop tilelist's however I have only just discovered that if I attempt to drag an item in any of the tilelists and drop it directly onto, or usually slightly just below itself i get a very strange error:-
    "Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference."
    The bizzare thing is this exact code works fine within a flex application but the error gets produced within an AIR app. It's the only error I get in my whole application so it's a complete nightmare. One thing I've noticed is that if you drop an item onto itself within Flex a sort of zoom animation of the item occurs but this same animation doesn't sem to occur in AIR apps so I'm wondering if it is this that is causing the problem but other than that I'm totally baffled:-

  • Bizarre mail problem OSX but not iOS

    Woke up this morning...
    Cannot access ANY mail - Exchange, Gmail, personal IMAP
    In Mail or Outlook.
    Error "incorrect password" on all account with all client including Outlook Web Access via Firefox.
    But on iOS, everything is fine.
    AAAAARRRRGGGH!
    Does anyone know what might cause generalised password fails on OSX on BOTH MacBook Pro and MacMini!

    Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change. Otherwise see below.
    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Bizarre color problem with macmini

    I just bought a mac mini intel. And have it hooked up to a JVC hdtv with DVI-DVI.
    In some windows. Everything is blue and yellow. No reds show up. But it's completely erratic.
    For instance: On the dock, all logos look fine. When I launch front row (just the opening screen) everything is blue and yellow.
    Most photo's go blue and yellow in iphoto. but display fine in front row sometimes.
    The open, close, minimize logos are always the correct colors. Even if the info within the window is not.
    This is not a monitor problem. Or a cable hookup issue. It's either software/color profile. Or hardware.
    Do anyone know how to fix this? Apple is clueless.

    That's a classic example of the basic problem with 16 bit color. There is no solution that I know of.

              bean results in 2 execute threads being created each executing the method
              called.
              I have a bean reference in the jsp that has session scope declared like this
              (package names left off):
              <jsp:useBean id="deployment" class="Deployment" scope="session">
              <% deployment.init(application); %>
              </jsp:useBean>
              I've also set the isThreadSafe value to "false" (since I'm trying to
              prevent/figure out what's going on):
              <%@ page isThreadSafe="false" %>
              Within the JSP body I have code that makes the method call on the deployment
              bean:
              if (action.equals("Send"))
              int status = deployment.send();
              Then, within my form I have:
              <INPUT TYPE="image" SRC="../images/Deploy.gif"
              onClick="confirmAndSubmit('Send',
              'Deploying Application to server <%=
              deployment.getServer() %>')"/>
              Where the functions called are:
              function setActionSubmit(action) {
              document.deployForm.actionPerformed.value = action;
              document.deployForm.submit();
              function confirmAndSubmit(action, promptString) {
              if (confirm(promptString)) {
              setActionSubmit(action);
              Tracing, thread dumping, et al, have confirmed that although I have a single
              session, I end up with two threads each executing the deployment.send()
              method.
              Any ideas? I'm stumped.
              Thanks,
              Jim
              

    I found the problem, although I don't completely understand the behavior:
              The FORM was not handling the submit event, leaving it to the whim of the
              browser to have its way with the event. Although it sometime ended up
              having two threads serving the request, it didn't always.
              The solution was to put an onSubmit=="return false;" in the <form>
              Hope this helps someone else.

  • Bizarre typing problem in Mail

    I have been finding this intermittent problem typing a reply to an email in Mail.  When I mistype a word, auto correct fixes it, but then deletes the space before hte word and joins it up to the previous word, so I keep having to go back and add a space.  Here is a link to a screen grab video that shows exactly what happens:  http://youtu.be/RvknuXh-OAc
    Here are some particulars about when it happens.
    Only when typing a reply to an email and while typing in the body of the senders email message.  Typing above, in the normal reply area, no problem.  That is, when you give notes and say, "see below" and then type answers to their questions in their message area.
    Not every email exhibits this problem, but many do.
    I forwarded this email to other people and the problem sticks to the email.  Opened it on other computers and also on Outlook on a Mac and the problem persists, but only in that email.  It's as if the problem is part of the email message itself.
    As above, not specific to any one computer, so not to do with the user or plug ins or whatever.
    Never have this problem in Outlook (which I used to use).  Only Mail.
    If I were to type slowly so that the auto correct balloon had time to appear, it does not delete the space.  Of course, I don't type slowly so that is not a fix.
    It appears that it is related to the way the auto-correct works, but only in the body of the reply, not in a reply above or an original email.  If I turn auto-correct off, it does not do this.
    So this is a big mystery to me and really annoying when I am replying to an email and trying to type quickly.  Very strange.  Hope someone has an idea what it could be.
    Thanks!
    P.S.  Had to post the video on Youtube because the Insert Video button here is greyed out.  Not sure why.

    From the menu bar, select
    Edit ▹ Substitutions
    and uncheck Text Replacement.

  • Bizarre sync problems

    I posted these two threads at the macrumors forums and they got over a thousand views each but no replies. Since then I've figured it must be a problem with iTunes but I don't know what more I can do.
    ... I don't even see a paste button here so I'll just link to those threads: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1329404
    After posting those I did a system restore to no avail. A full system scan with Avast! Antivirus turned up 0 infected files. Computer and iPod both seem to be running fine except for this one problem that came out of nowhere.
    Please, if anyone has any ideas on what this might be, what I can do about it, where else I can ask, anything at all ...?

    anyone?
