Bonjour has (almost) killed my laptop!!!!

Has anyone else had this problem....I struggled to get it up and running again...it wouldn't even give me anything on my screen. When it finally did, I managed to get to the Task Manager ... look at Events (I don't even know anything about computers....)....and there was an event log of Bonjour about 1 bazillion times with "ERROR" next to it....I stopped it. Then re-started....my computer works again EXCEPT I then did an emergency back-up of everything in case I lose it again.
The only thing I had recently installed was the later version of iTunes because I got a new iPhone 4s (so HAD to update it). Now it won't "accept" my iPhone because I have de-activated Bonjour. I'm in a catch 22 situation. Too scared to risk re-activating Bonjour BUT need to update my Phone AND want to copy over my iTunes library onto a back-up system so that I don't lose my music if this god forsaken programme kills my laptop permanently.
It's a 2 year old Sony Vaio (never had any problems whatsoever with it)...then this happens. I literally spent ALL weekend trying to get it to re-boot....hundreds of attempts before I got anywhere!

look at Events (I don't even know anything about computers....)....and there was an event log of Bonjour about 1 bazillion times with "ERROR" next to it
Head back into the event logs and open up some of those events. Are the details of the events all the same? If so, please post the contents of a typical event log message for Bonjour in a reply here so we can have a look.

  • Flash Player 11.3 r300 is literally killing my laptop

    Sometimes when I'm watching videos on YouTube or other websites which require flash player I can't have more than 2-3 tabs open before my laptop goes nuts.
    The fan starts running really loud and crazy, my laptop gets really warm and when I open the task bar, the CPU memory usage is at like 90% or higher and the file Adobe Flash Player 11.3 r300 (it's version 262 I believe) has 50 or higher under the "CPU".
    This program is literally killing my laptop and I'm really afraid that my laptop will break down and I really don't want that to happen.
    My laptop used to work fine but ever since a couple of months ago it has been harder and harder for it to keep up with flash programs. Now I can't even view news sites with flash banners at the side because it uses too much CPU memory.

    I had a similar problem a few years back, running an old Windows XP-based PC operating with (don't laugh) 250 mb of memory.  After I upgraded the memory to 500 mb, and blew six years worth of dust from the insides of the case, the problems with the fan went away.  The CPU usage still spiked up to about 70% when watching some youtube videos, but normally ranged around 25-40%.
    In order to get help, you'll probably have to put down some specs, including:
    The brand of laptop you're using/how old it is.
    The operating system--windows xp/windows seven/whatever.
    The amount of RAM you have installed.  (In that way, the techs can see if it meet's the basic system requirements for the newer versions of Flash Player.)
    What browser you're using--Firefox/IE/etc.
    The complete version number of flash player you're using.

  • Mac mini CD-Burner almost kills itself

    my CD burner in my mini almost kills itself, literally.
    when burning ANY CD over 4X, half way through it will speed up WAY beyond what the drive can even support, and vibrate so LOUD, and cause the whole Mac to freeze, and force me to hold down the power button...
    However, my external DVD burner has no trouble burning those same CDs at 48X...
    Is there a firmware update for the CD-burner in my Mac mini or something that can fix this?
    Combo Drive..

    I have the exact same problem. When burning any CD over 4x, the optical drive in my Mac mini will get extremely loud and vibrate and a short time later the Mac will slow to a crawl and lock up. I am really concerned that it's damaging the internals because the noise is so loud.
    The only way to stop the noise and unfreeze the system is to manually turn it off-- I can't even login remotely.
    I also have a Combo drive.
    I called AppleCare about the issue, and how it's definately a hardware issue, but twice they refused to help me... I live too far away (at least 80 miles) from a AASP or an Apple store. I kinda expected to get an RMA like Dell and other menufacturers commonly do udner warranty. It kinda ***** that my warranty is practically worthless.
    I can't even find a exact replacement optical drive... the only one I could find was a dual-layer DVD burner from Other World Computing for $119. http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/mac-mini/superdrive/
    Let me know if you find anything else that helps... I'd be glad to know.

  • T61P died, 1 long beep - 2 short beeps problem - Do the updates from Lenovo KILL our laptop?

    Hi all
    I bought T61P from 2 years ago, everything is ok until yesterday, I turn on my laptop and nothing display on the screen, and with this :  1 long beep - 2 short beeps....
    I make some search, and found a lot of people have the same problem, and almost happend from September - 2009 to now.
    I asked my self why this problem does not happend in the 1st year of using T61P...and this only happend from September - 2009 to now? DO THE UPDATES FROM LENOVO KILL OUR LAPTOP?
    My laptop is out of warranty, and I hate to replace another mainboard.... If I must do it, I will throw my laptop to the Trash, and never buy another Lenovo laptops.

    so far it looks like a strict hardware problem, not related to updates. however, some manufacturers try to "cheat" with bios updates - they make fan to run at higher speed lowering the mainboard temp. This does not solve the problem per se, it just makes laptop survive beyond warranty expiration date, so you, dear customer, will have to foot the bill.

  • Session that has been killed hangs around

    Hi,
    This is probably an old issue and many may have figured out but I haven't and need your help. We have noticed that when the application sessions get hung in the Oracle server (we are running Oracle 9.0.1 on AIX 4.3.3), we kill them with ALTER SYSTEM command. The session status shows it has been KILLED but it does not vanish. Then we look for associated PID and do "ps -ef" but the process is no longer there. How we get rid of sessions that are hung and subsequently KILLED but have not gone away ? The only we have figured out to clean them up is by restarting the instance. We can't afford to restart the instance in production to handle this. Can someone let me know how to handle this ?
    Thanks in advance.

    the killed sessions will show in v$session until PMON clears them up (yes, during startup).
    the unix process is dead, and the killed session is not taking ANY resource. it shows KILLED in v$session just like INACTIVE sessions do. why do you mind them?
    from Note:100859.1:
    PMON will not delete the session object itself until the client connected to
    that session notices that it has been killed. Therefore, the sequence of
    events is:
    1) alter system kill session is issued - the STATUS of the session object in
    V$SESSION becomes KILLED, its server becomes PSEUDO.
    2) PMON cleans up the resources allocated to the session
    (i.e., rolls back its transaction, releases its locks, etc).
    3) the entry in V$SESSION remains there until the client of that session (the
    client is the process associated with the OSUSER,MACHINE,PROCESS columns in
    the V$SESSION view) tries to do another request.
    4) the client attempts another SQL statement and gets back ORA-28.
    5) PMON can now remove the entry from V$SESSION.
    This behavior is necessary because the client still has pointers to the
    session object even though the session has been killed. Therefore, the
    object cannot be deleted until the client is no longer pointing at it.
    hope this helps, Nogah.

    Do a Spotlight for "iPhoto.app" and see what yo get. If that fails download and run Find Any File to search for a file with "iPhoto.app" in the file name.
    FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, system folders and packages. If the application is hiding somewhere on your hard drive FAF will find it.

  • TAF: instead of waiting, ORA-00028: your session has been killed

    I'm testing the ability of our application to work with a RAC cluster.
    When I stop a node with the command:
    srvctl stop service -d DB_UNIQUE_NAME -s SERVICE -f, I expect that the driver will try to reconnect transparently without notifying the application.
    In some circumstances, the application may receive errors in the range ORA-25400 - ORA-25425, but the reconnect should be automatic anyway.
    This is the case, mostly.
    But the last time when I stopped the node, 9 of 10 threads of our app began to wait for the driver's reply (as expected). And one thread instantly received the error: ORA-00028: your session has been killed
    The subsequent attempts to use this connection failed with: ORA-01012: not logged on

    The strange thing is that this application user works perfectly with Viewer.....
    Anyone knows if there is some lock at the database level, and which lock ? or it's something related to the Discoverer Administrator's permissions ?
