Bluetooth crashing the entire system?

Hi,
Twice in the past two days, my Pbook 1.33GHz has frozen entirely. I can't be sure it's a kernel panic, but everything freezes, the displayed time does not move (over 30 minutes passed), the external keyboard and mouse don't work, and the only response I get is the Caps Lock key light works. The screen remains as if nothing had happened (I get no "screen of death") - just suddenly stops responding. The first time, I did a hard shutdown (hold Power for 5 secs); second time, I did a hard restart (CTRL-CMD-Power). After the second time, I logged in as the administrator user, and got a "Your Mac was restarted after OS X unexpectedly quit" message. I submitted a report to Apple - which unfortunately I didn't copy for myself. I glanced at the report, and noted that it involved several Bluetooth components.
The first time the system crashed, I had been having trouble with a bluetooth headset a couple hours before. But everything went fine for a while; I even put the computer to sleep. Walked away, came back, the Pbook re-awoke itself but completely frozen.
The second time it crashed, I was just reading thru a website in Camino. A bluetooth keyboard was connected and paired (an iFrog keyboard). Then suddenly the system stopped responding.
This has never happened before; my system is normally very stable. Could it be 10.4.8? Also, anyone know how to retrieve crash/panic logs so I can post them for you to see? Thanks!

Getting the same thing when my FrogPad goes to sleep:

FCPX crashes the entire system when applying Ken Burns

When applying Ken Burns to an image, when repositioning the start and/or end frame the entire system locks up, not just FCPX. The cursor can still be moved, but other than that the entire system is unresponsive and the only solution is turning off my iMac and rebooting. That is how the problem started, a few days later during the same process the entire screen turns black and rebooting is once again the only way out.
Is anyone else familiar with this problem?

There's a little icon that appears in the Project on top of each picture that has Ken Burns applied, click on that icon (it's a cropping square icon). that will bring up the Inspector and show you the red/green boxes that indicate the area where the zoom starts and ends for Ken Burns. If you drag the edges of both the red/green boxes individually to fit the entire picture, I think you will get the effect of not cropping. But it won't really be Ken Burns either because it won't zoom/pan across the image as it plays back.

OSB 10.1.0.0 on AIX crashes the entire system during an rman backup to tape

Hi,
I have here two AIX 5.3-07 systems with Oracle 10.2.0.2 and 10.2.0.3 on it. After installing Oracle Secure Backup for AIX I tried an online backup with rman. During the rman backup the entire AIX system crashes and reboots.
I can reproduce this on both AIX machines. If I'm using only obtar to backup some files it works out of the box. On the 10.2.0.2 system I've initial installed a 10.2.0.1 database. With this installation I was able to make online backups without any crashes.
Just before I open a tar I want to ask if someone has any hints?

I have an Apple Macbook and will be backing up the entire system to an external hard drive utilizing the Time Machine application. when I am doing this, will the data on the external drive that I am using be erased?

I have an Apple Macbook and will be backing up the entire system in order to upgrade to a newer OS. I will be using an external hard drive to do this and there is already data on it. To complete the backup, i will be using the Time Machine application. Does this application wipe out all of the existing data on the external hard drive, or will it create a new "folder" for the backup?
thank you

No, but as steve359 states you should use a dedicated hard drive for backups. It you need a temporary backup then you can use the drive provided it has sufficient space for all your data on the hard drive.
When Time Machine finds that the drive has data on it already it may decide to erase the drive before continuing, which is another reason to use a dedicated drive.

How to delay the audio to lip sync? (of the entire system)

I`m using a LED 32" LG screen via hdmi, but the audio is outputing directly via usb to my Mbox Mini, and the image have a small delay (5 frames) but the audio not, so the result is out of sync videos.
Of course there`s tons of apps that can solve the problem by compensating, like VLC and MPlayer X, but the problem is that i`m a video editor and use FCP and Motion all the time. For playbacking with these apps (after making the 5 frames compensation) turns into a perfect results, but during video editing it`s a pain to lip sync.
Of course as i know that the delay is 5 frames, when i output i could delay the entire audio, but it would be a pain making this everytime and for internet streaming the videos would still off sync.
There`s anyway i can delay the audio of the entire system?
PS: I`m using Lion 10.7,

If you want other activity to take place, you could use a
timeout object:
dialogue = window().new("D_XML_Test (Greek2)")
dialogue.filename = "path to file"
t = timeout().new("mOpenWindow", 60000, #mOpenWindow,
dialogue)
-- #movie script:
on mOpenWindow aWindow, aTimeout
if ilk(aTimeout, #timeout) then aTimeout.forget()
if ilk(aWindow, #window) then aWindow.open()
end
If you don't mind locking out activity, you could use the
delay()
function, but I wouldn't recommend that approach

Safari pinwheels and freezes the entire system.

Safari pinwheels and freezes the entire system.
I've read numerous threads with this Safari pinwheeling theme, but none of the posted solutions I've found work for me.
The problem:
Safari will almost always on opening, and frequently when filling in forms on websites, start pinwheeling. The whole system then slows down, and then eventually freezes. Even the dock bar freezes. When this happens, I can't even bring up the Force Quit bar. The freezing will often last several minutes, then all of a sudden, all my various previously ignored mouse and key clicks cycle through. When Force Quit finally starts, then everything freezes again. Eventually, Force Quit will show Safari as not responding, and once in a while the system then will start responding, but usually I have to kill Safari.
The problem subsided a little bit on the opening the application problem when I switched my start page from Apple.com to Google.com, thinking that maybe it was just too much graphics crap coming in on the Apple site.
The problem happens on both my Airport and cell modem network connections.
I may have seen this behavior once with Firefox, but haven't been able to reproduce it.
Generally I only have a few things running: Excel, Messenger, Safari.
Things I've tried to fix this:
Reset Safari
Clear Safari Cache
Delete Safari folder in the system cache folder
Went into the Energy Saver in Preferences and unchecked, "put disk to sleep when not in use" for both the battery and power adpater settings
Limit number of tabs open
I'd try restarting Safari occasionally, but the problem usually happens on opening.
I've emptied the trash, and made sure there is ample open disk space (10gb right now).
Resolved duplicate fonts.
I have no third party apps to affect Safari or networking.
I've reset the machine by unplugging it and holding the power button.
My computer is a MacBookPro 15" with all the latest software and firmware updates and 2gb RAM. This has become so frustrating, it's been very tempting to just throw the laptop at the wall and go back to my Windows laptop...

I'd say the bad blocks were behind the problems you were seeing. Their existence points to either a defective HD, or directory corruption. The latter usually can be repaired by using a Utility such as Disk Warrior, or as you did, reformatting the drive.
Best approach to minimizing directory problems is to do routine maintenance twice a month. Have a look at this MacWorld article for suggestions.
For routine maintenance I use OnyX. There is no charge for the software, but I believe the developer asks for a donation.
It's very easy to use. I run it twice a month. Once it is installed, you would double click on the OnyX icon in your application folder (or drag an icon to your dock for quick access) to open the application. After entering your administrator password, you would select "automation". The panel looks like this:
Select the same items I have checked. The program takes about 5 to 10 minutes to run. Leave your computer alone, that is, don't use it for anything else until OnyX is finished. Once complete, restart the computer and you're good to go.
Lastly, the most effective maintenance is having a full backup of your system on an external hard drive. All machines fail eventually, despite the best maintenance. If you had a hard drive failure without any backup, then you would lose all your information, including documents, images, songs, etc. Not a pretty picture.
For your system, you would purchase either a USB or Firewire Drive for your new Intel Machine. The key here is creating a "clone" backup on the drive, which you back up regularly, or at least once a week. For the backup process I use SuperDuper. Very easy to use. The initial backup takes about 1 to 2 hours. Subsequent backups take 5 to 10 minutes. Total $$$ investment can be anywhere between $100 - $250 depending on the size of your Hard Drive.
Post back if you need any other information relative to your questions here.

GuiXT valid throughout the entire system

<b>GuiXT</b>
I need to customize my VA01 transaction using GuiXT. But I dont want it
to be user-specific on user's PC but throughout the entire system.
The document that i have seen says that put the GuiXT script file on application server
for the same.
But I have seen that for every user there is Script1 . . Script4
directory setting and this is where the VA01 will look before loading.
So even if I keep the script file on the server, if these Script directory
is not set to the required path, it will not reflect any changes that i have
made.
SO will i have to go on each user machine and give the path
or is there a way out.

Hi Bryan ,
It happens when you save it as an Adobe PDF or a normal PDF?
Happens with all the files or any specific one?
What exact version of Acrobat are you using?
Try updating it to the latest one if it is an older one.
You may also want to uninstall and re install it to check.
Let us know how it goes.

Time machine on Lion crashes the whole system when used with external HD

Hi all,
Anybody got the same problem? I did a Time Machine backup just before I did the upgrade to Lion (using an external USB HDD) after the upgrade (that went well in my opinion) when I ask TM to do another backup it stays on "Preparing" indefenately and ultimately crashes the whole system ( reset with ctrl+cmd+power button) is required otherwhise the system stays non reactive.
Regards,
Iwan

Start by verifying your internal HD, and repair your backups, per #6 in Using Disk Utility.
If that doesn't help, see #D6 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting for a possible way to cancel the backup. If that works, use the widget in #A1 there to display the backup messages from your logs. Locate the backup in question, then copy and post all the messages here.

I'm running Mac OS 10.7. Should also mention that clean unistall/install did nothing to fix the issue.
Anyone else having the same issue? Please help.

Firefox crashes the entire computer

For roughly the last year, Firefox has been crashing my entire computer, causing the system to hang and then shut down unexpectedly.
I have been able to narrow down the source of these crashes specifically to Firefox over the past few months.
I have a Dell XPS 8000 bought January 2010 with an i7 860 2.80Ghz and 16GB RAM, running Windows 7 64-bit. The crashes I receive only occur when Firefox is running and occur anytime between 5 mins of running FF up to 30 mins. I have tested this with nothing running except for FF and still receive crashes.
I use CoreTemp to monitor each core and none of them go above 50 C at the time FF crashes. I can run video playlists on Winamp, sync my iPad with iTunes as it updates several apps, use AutoGK and WinFF simultaneously to convert video, and have Chrome running with 5-8 tabs open and never receive this crash. I've also pushed the system further by having all the above running as well as CS3 Photoshop and Dreamweaver and mimic a server with Xampp and even then, my system will run just fine, albeit with temps in the high 70s.
I've only received these crashes only with Firefox running. To fix this, I've run fresh installations of Firefox twice and then today, since I've been running the same profile info since before 3.5, I backed up my bookmarks, completely uninstalled and then reinstalled FF without any of my addons, and in the middle of recreating my normal tabs and pinned tabs, received the same old crash. As a last resort, I let go of all my bookmarks and began adding them all individually, and once again, received the same crash; this last test was when I had nothing but FF running and temps below 50 C.
I am terribly frustrated by this issue because I am writing this from an HP laptop running FF with a profile that's been used since 3.5 and I can run FF and Minecraft on this laptop with no problems at all. I also have the same FF profile ported over to my Macbook Air and no issues there either.
I'm at a loss as to what could be causing this problem or how I can go about fixing it and any help would be greatly appreciated.

pffft same problem here just keeps on happening. Im running some pretty grunty games and my system is ok. as soon as Im using FF for a while my computer freezes. its only when I use FF. Ive checked computer health. Diagnostics, checked for malware and checked drivers. just cant figure it out. any takers?

Why is Facebook constantly crashing my entire system?

For weeks now Facebook (Mafia Wars) has crashed my entire Linux Mint system as it totally freezes.
Rebooting is my only option. The problem can be when simply loading Maria Wars, sometimes when using various features - nothing consistent.
Firefox in Windows XP(sp3) the crashing is less severe but is still bad in Mafia Wars.
No doubt, Mafia Wars is the issue but Chrome in Mint and XP works fine. Any advice guys as this issue is spoiling the use of Firefox.

Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
From the top menu bar, select
View ▹ Columns ▹ # Ports
if not already selected. Click the heading of the Ports column in the process table to sort the entries by port usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process?

Is it possible to sandbox the entire system?

DISCLAIMER
This is partly just thinking out loud.
There may be some completely obvious solution for achieving this that I have not come across.
My ideas may be flawed.
I saw the other thread about sandboxing but that had a different focus and went in a different direction than this hopefully will.
First, by sandboxing I mean the following:
* let an application see the actual system, but only selectively, e.g. make /usr visible but /home inaccessible
* intercept all writes to the system
* let an application see all intercepted writes as though they have actually occurred
* intercept all network communication and allow the user to approve or deny it, e.g. enable a source download from one site but prevent the application from calling home to another
* the application cannot escape the sandbox
* the application should not be able to detect the sandbox
Is this possible?
First I thought about using FUSE to mask the entire filesystem but this would affect all applications and probably wouldn't work on a running sysem.
Then I thought about using virtualization. Maybe it would be possible to create a fake base image of the live host system and then add an overlay to that to create a sandboxed virtual clone of the host system. The network connection could probably by the host in that case.
I don't know if it would be at all possible though to create a fake base image of the live host system. I also don't know if it would need to be static or if the image could remain dynamic. In the latter case. it would probably be possible to create the image with FUSE. Using FUSE it might even be possible to forgo the overlay image as FUSE itself could intercept the writes. There are obvious complexities in that though, such as how to present changes to a file by the host to the guest if the guest has modified it previously. I also have no idea if the guest system could use a clone of the hosts file system.
Why I would want to do this:
* "Safely" test-run anything while protecting your system (hide your sensitive data, protect all of your files, control network access)**.
* Simplified package building: build the application as it's meant to be built in the sandbox, compare the sandbox to the host and then use the differences to build the package***.
* It would be cool.
** Before anyone interjects with the "only run trusted apps" mantra, this would also apply to trusted apps which might contain bugs. Let's face it, most people do not plough through source code of trusted apps before building/installing/running them.
*** This was prompted by my ongoing installation of SAGE which is built in the post-install function instead of the PKGBUILD itself due to the complexities of the build process. The general idea is to create a way in which all application that can be built can be packaged uniformly.

Are you sure that you can change the permissions of symlinks themselves? I think I've tried to make files read-only via symlinks on a local server but ended up using bindfs because it wasn't possible. Even if you can, symlinking everything that might be necessary for a given environment would not be ideal, plus I don't think symlinks can be used across different filesystems.
If a real-life human can figure out if it's he/she is in a chroot and break out of it, then he/she can write a script to do the same. I want a sandbox that could run malicious code with no effect on the system (if that's possible). Also, I think if the chroot idea were truly feasible, makepkg would have been using it for years already to simply install packages in the chroot as you normally would and then package them. There would also be several sandbox applications that could run applications safely. So far I have yet to find any.
I admit that I haven't looked into using a chroot in detail though and of course I may have missed some application which creates such a setup. Right now I think using per-application namespaces with fuse seems the most promising but I won't know until I've finished implementing a test application. If it turns out that it's a dead end I'll take harder look at chroot but it really doesn't seem to be able to do what I want.

Premiere Pro CC2014 freezes the entire system

New Mac Pro - late 2013
PP CC 2014
OS 10.9.3
Recent convert from FCP7. Basically can't get any work done. PP hangs up and causes the entire machine to hang up, requiring a hard restart. This sometimes happens as previews are being loaded, sometimes when doing actual work, somethings when just moving the playhead around. Working with Red footage from 4-6k. I have trashed prefs multiple times and followed the 13 step process regarding sharing and permissions posted here and on Cow. I have unplugged every peripheral device except for the monitors and a 24TB Pegasus. Sometimes the machine will be stable for a bit, sometimes it hangs as soon as it is opened. Getting in 15 minutes of uninterrupted work is a reason to celebrate. Appreciate your help.

I too recently converted from FCP to Premiere. I was using the the previous version of Premiere Pro CC and it worked great! When I update to Premiere Pro CC 2014, it started crashing routinely. I'm on a Win7 machine with no plug in's and 2014 has not worked on it. I went back to the previous version and all is well .If you are under the gun and need to get some serious work done, I recommend uninstalling 2014 and downloading the previous version of Premiere.

Mouse tooltip is locking the entire system

Hello friends at www.oracle.com ,
after defining some tooltips to Forms fields like text items, display items, push buttons, etc., I've seen that the following sequence of actions may cause a system lock. (Assume there's a main Forms program, and a Forms sub-program has been called through main menu.)
1. Put the mouse pointer over a field that has tooltip text.
2. Close the Forms sub-program by pressing ALT-F4 (Windows shortcut to close any program); it will take you back to the Forms main program. (Tooltip text will still stay stopped at mouse position)
3. Move to another Windows program, like Explorer for example, and try to return to the main program. This main program is now locked, shows the 'Working...' message at hint line, and stays locked.
Only CTRL+ALT+DEL will stop it, and the Forms main program never sends any answer.
Could you please tell me why does a simple tooltip may lock an entire system?
Hope I was clear - if not, please ask me.
Thanks, and best regards,
Franklin Gongalves Jr.

Quit the App Store app and reset your iPad.
Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
