Can Mavericks become corrupt due to overheating?

This is a pretty oddball question, I understand, but I am just hoping someone can shed some light. In the past few days I have had OSX 10.9.2 become what I believe is corrupt. It gets stuck on the white apple logo screen during boot. The mouse can be moved around on this screen, but only in the top left hand corner of the screen (almost like a mask on the other 75% and it goes behind it). I have reinstalled Mavericks twice now and it fixes the issue, but I'm afraid it might happen again. To add context to this issue, I play Diablo 3 on it, and have been for a few weeks now. This just happened the other day and there is a known memory leak they are planning to patch shortly. I am not certain if this has caused hardware issues due to possible overheating. I idle around 70 degrees celsius (iStats). I can do some more digging later, but I thought I would post to see if anyone has experienced something similar or has any insight on to what this might be (software vs hardware).
MacBook Pro
Retina, Mid 2012
2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
8 gb memory
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1gb
OS X 10.9.2

I would just wait until they fix the memory issue before playing it again. Heat can't cause software corruption, only hardware.
I hope I solved your question.

  • I have a windows pc.  How can I download purchased items which have become corrupted on my PC.  I can't use iCloud

    I have a windows pc.  How can I download purchased items which have become corrupted on my PC.  I can't use iCloud without an Apple device.  I have gone into purchased but next to each title it merely says 'downloaded'.  I need to download them again.  It will cost a fortune to re-purchase the corrupted music!

    I tried that but it just shows 'downloaded'.  There is no little cloud next to that wording.  On an Itunes help page it shows a 'library icon' once you have logged in but that does not appear on my version of ITunes which is 11.1.  I have lost so many peices of music!  Is this some ploy by Apple to get you to buy them all over again??  Thanks for you response, if you can think of anything else I would be most grateful

  • After upgrading to version 6 my ArcGIS files become corrupted if I save them while I have FF open (sporadic occurence, but limited to FF being open). How can I downgrade to version 5?

    I am using ArcGIS 10 and Firefox 6 on Windows XP.
    After upgrading to version 6 my ArcGIS files become corrupted if I save them while I have FF open (sporadic occurence, but limited to FF being open). Any ideas of what could be causing this? I have also posted on the ArcGIS forum site for input from that side.
    How can I downgrade to version 5? If that is the only option available.

    Thanks for the reply. It doesn't have to process the php, it just has to show the HTML content. It did that just fine before the last upgrade but won't now.
    I've seen that page you referenced: http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions.
    It doesn't help. The things it says to look for aren't there for me, specifically:
    browser.download.pluginOverrideTypes
    plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types
    I followed the rest of the instructions but it didn't help.
    I did get it to quit opening tabs, instead it prompts me what it should do with the file every time now. What it should do, and used to do, is open the php page and display the HTML content.
    Any other ideas?

  • When Password Protected - The File Becomes Corrupted and I Can Not Open It

    I have password protected two files now in Excel 2007.  After opening and then saving a few times, the file becomes corrupted and I cannot open.  The following error message appears  "Excel cannot open the file"XXXX.xlsx" because
    the file format or file extenson is not valid.  Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file.
    The files that I created contains sensitive information and I really need to get to them.l

    You can try to open these files with 'Open and Repair' .
    1.Start Excel.
    2.click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Open.
    3.In the Open dialog box, click to select the file that you want to open.
    4.Click the down arrow on the Open button, and then click Open and Repair.
    Also this issue could be  caused by malware on the affected machine
    Please see:http://blogs.technet.com/b/the_microsoft_excel_support_team_blog/archive/2013/09/07/quot-cannot-open-the-file-because-the-file-format-or-extension-is-invalid-quot-opening-office-files.aspx
    Some one works out this issue with remove the xlsx entention,give it a try.
    1. rename the file and remove the .xlsx or .xls extention etc e.g. if my file is called test.xlsx I remove the '.xlsx' - you will get a warning message saying this could make the document unstable - accept it
    2. the document icon should now have turned white (the document won't look like an excel document anymore)
    3. open a blank excel document by hitting start -> all programs -> Microsoft office -> excel (this may be different if your not on windows 7)
    4. in your blank excel document hit file -> open
    5. navigate to the document you renamed above and select it, now click open

  • All Appstore and  Mac updates Fail saying "...could not be verified or may have become corrupt"

    Recently my Mac started to become glitchy so I decided to wipe the hard drive and reinstall my OSX Mountain Lion. After doing so almost all of my updates fail showing this msg "...could not be verified or may have become corrupt". Not to mention downloading updates take ridiculously long. I have 80mbps down and small updates say they could take up to 2 days. I wanted to try upgrading to the the newest OS however that also has the error msg…not to mention a 4 days estimated download!
    any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
    and yes I did set my date and time to automatic.

  • ORABPEL-02100 - Deployed file location becoming corrupt.

    I've had an SR open with Oracle for months on this one and it's made zero progress. Under load (BPEL 10.1.2.2) we sometime see the following error :
    <BaseCubeSessionBean::logWarning> Error while invoking bean "process manager": Cannot find process content file.
    Cannot find the content file "1.0" for process "TaskActionHandler" (revision "").
    Please check that the path "1.0" is correct and refers to a file that has been included as a part of the
    deployment archive.
    Once the problem starts we have to re-start bpel to clear it. The content file name has become corrupt and instead suddenly contains the revision number. Revision number has in turn become null. This can effect any of the deployed processes and appears to be random but perhaps load related.
    Luckily it's rare but has a catastrophic effect on the the in-flight instances.
    Rob

    I got fed up waiting for something (anthing!) positive from Oracle Support on this so decided trawl the BPEL logs myself...
    Our ORABPEL-02100 error appears to be a side effect of an earlier problem:
    The first time a BPEL process is called we sometimes see :
    08/01/28 05:01:39 java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 10
    08/01/28 05:01:39 at java.util.ArrayList.add(ArrayList.java:355)
    08/01/28 05:01:39 at com.collaxa.cube.rm.suitcase.PartnerLinkBindingsDescriptor.getPartnerLinkBinding
    s(PartnerLinkBindingsDescriptor.java:50)
    etc
    Every time the service is invoked afterwards (until we restart BPEL) we see:
    08/01/28 05:51:33 java.lang.NullPointerException
    08/01/28 05:51:33 at com.collaxa.cube.xml.xsd.xerces.ProcessSchemaManager.loadWSDLs(ProcessSchemaMana
    ger.java:181)
    etc
    It appears to occur when you get a two parallel threads executing the same BPEL process at exactly the same time where that process has yet to be invoked since the App Server started. To me it looks like a java sychronisation issue in the wsdl caching code.
    Anyone else experienced this arrayList exception in getPartnerLinkBinding ?

  • TS3694 Why is my i-tunes freezing up and is accompanied by a message "Saying Itunes can't save anything due to lack of memory and my system is equiped with 16gb?

    I Have always used Itunes for my music and for reasons beyond me Itunes has been freezing up and lately it has bringing a mate that reseambles a normal Windows error message but it's telling me that Itunes has to close and the program can't save anything due to lack of memory ? So I updated the program to Version 10.6 last night and while downloading songs and album artwork Today it froze up an brought his mate the message back. And Yet my Laptop is as tooled up as well as a bovver boy on his way to a riot With 16gb of ddr3 plus 2 x Nvidia Gtx 580m's In Sli. So by rights any type of multimedia should run as smooth as silk and i never thought i would have a program make use of 16gb of ram all by itself. So if anybody has been through it an come out on top instead of passing Itunes over for another program and can give any advice or a hint would be much Appreciated... Thanks to Anybody listening....

    Becasue something got corrupted on the iPod. It happens sometimes. Just restore the iPod to factory settings/new iPod and then try restoring from your backup.

  • Printer drivers constantly becoming corrupt

    We have a large mixture of HP and Ricoh printers in our environment.  They are all linked through a Server 2007 Enterprise edition print server.  For the HP printers, some of them do use the specific print driver and other use a universal print driver, also a mix between PCL 5 and 6.  Most of the problems are occurring on Windows 7 (we don't have many windows XP and they use a different print server)and we are just starting to see some of these problems on Windows 8 (just starting to deploy).  Here are the problems we are having:
    1. Randomly the HP printer will stop working.  Everything appears to be correct on the server and the PC and it works fine from another PC, but it doesn't appear to be communicating to the printer at all.  You click Print in any application and it never actually does anything.  If you just delete and re-add the printer you get problem #2. To actually fix it, you have to remove the printer, go into Print Management and delete all HP drivers (on one of the Windows 8 device just removing the one associated with the printer didn't work but removing them all fixed the issue) and telling it to redownload the print driver from the server. 
    2. The HP printer will randomly or on first install start printing "strange characters" and will keep printing until the job is canceled.  Again we found that removing the printer and completely removing the drivers from Print Management and reinstalling the print will fix this.
    These keep reoccurring with the same users and occationally new ones and we are starting to get bombarded with calls on our helpdesk.  Let me know if there is something I can check to try to prevent these drivers from becoming corrupt on the PCs.
    Thank you!

    Hello everyone.
    I understand you having software conflicts on multiple computers. So I can assist you, I need to find out what printer you have. Please click on this website to find out this information: Model Number. (Only the printers that are experiencing issues please)
    On each of the computers; do they all have different connections or the same connection? Please verify if it's wireless, USB or Ethernet connection?
    Once I know the connection I can further assist you on your "unable to communicate with your printer" issue.
    I have a HP document that will help you resolve your issue on Continuous Pages of Strange or Garbled Characters.
    Look forward to hear from you.
    I worked on behalf of HP.

  • OS X partition becomes corrupt after switching from Bootcamp

    So I've had to reinstall os x 10.9.1 no less than three  times this week and multiple times before in the past after switching between os x and windows 8.1. This usually happens after I've been using windows for a prolonged period then switch back to os x but it happened today after reinstalling os x from a time machine backup just yesterday. I'll switch between the two and os x becomes corrupt and begins the loading bar sequence after selecting the os x partition via the refit boot manager. I tried repairing the partition using disk utility from the repair partition and an external installation of os x 10.9.1 but every time the disk becomes corrupt and needs to be wiped and reinstalled or install a time machine backup. I've lost count of how many times I've had to do this and to make things even worse both of my external disks have become corrupt after being disconnected for two days while I sort this mess out. Does anyone else have similar issues or can locate an issue somewhere?

    Yeah I reinstalled osx 10.9.1 and installed all my apps, put everything back then used bootcamp to create a partition for windows then used wineclone to install my windows 8.1 backup. I jumped from windows > osx > windows > osx inside an hour to move around a few things and I forgot verify bootcamp after I installed the backup and that last time I booted to osx it was corrupted. I used disk utility from my external installation and the recovery partition and both times they need repaired which only came up with the backup and wipe notification window. There have been two occasions where I was able to fix the osx partition from my external osx installation and continue using osx quite perfectly but usually the partition becomes un-mountable after it fails to repair. Usually when this has happened the twenty something times before it's after a prolonged period of a few weeks using windows.
    I'm using refit boot manager and paragon NTFS 11 which may be the only software I've installed that could be corrupting the boot.

  • Using Lightroom 5.7, Raw files become from my Nikon D810 become corrupted when I select them to view or edit.

    .Updated to Lightroom 5.7 to accommodate the Nikon D810. Upon importing RAW files to the files become corrupted when they are selected to be viewed or edited.
    I am using Windows 7, 64 bit, with 8 GB Ram.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    There are several likely sources of corruption, and video card would be far down on my list of possible suspects.
    The transfer from camera card to hard disk is the most likely place for problem, either the card reader or USB cable can go bad. Another likely source of problems is the computer's hard disk is starting to fail. The camera card itself may be bad. And lastly, the memory in the computer may be malfunctioning.

  • Video app becomes corrupted after streaming iTunes purchases

    I wasn't sure what to use for a title here, but chose this because it captures much of what I am seeing.
    Hardware:
    3rd gen iPad, 32GB, iOS 7.0.4
    What I am doing:
    I purchase TV shows and movies from the iTunes store, but as we watch them while on the home Wifi network, there is no need to download the content to a device before viewing. Once a TV show or movie is purchased, it can be viewed in the Videos app as streaming content, much the same way that it does on Apple TV (which doesn't permanently store anything).
    Key observation: I usually make these purchases through the Videos app itself, rather than going explicitly to the iTunes Store app. I am not sure this makes a difference, but it may.
    What happens:
    It all works well for several weeks or months. Then 3 bad things happen:
    1) During this time I observe that the available space on the iPad steadily decreases (viewed through Settings -> General -> Usage). It starts with a value of approximately 12GB free space, and then declines, despite the fact that I am not storing any media files locally. After approximately 2 months, I now have 5GB free, and cannot account for the "missing" 7GB, not even close.
    While it is to be expected that any streaming device must temporarily store content, that content is usually cleared after viewing or after some predetermined time interval, etc. I do not expect this content to simply accumulate endlessly.
    2) Eventually, videos will fail to work properly. I will attempt to watch a purchased item, and it will run painfully slow, and may be missing audio. I check Usage, and my free space continues to decline. Subsequent attempts to view TV show and movies are now unreliable.
    Big clue: shows that do not work properly cannot be deleted or downloaded locally.
    3) The entire iPad becomes notably slower and less responsive running all of my usual apps (Pages, Numbers, Facebook, etc.)
    What I tried that was illuminating:
    I noted that under Settings -> General -> Usage, it shows the Video app as containing "No data". So, I tried downloading a different purchased video in order to guarantee that there is some data. While this video plays within the Video app, I observe that Usage still shows the Video app as having "No data", which is verifiably untrue.
    Conclusion: the database used by the Videos app is failing to purge old streamed content, becoming corrupted, and now failing to report data storage to iOS.
    What works:
    Sadly, the only cure for this problem is a complete erase/restore of the iPad from iCloud backup. When I do this, all of my "missing" storage returns, and videos work normally. The iPad performance returns to its usual snappy self. But the cycle repeats, and I must eventually go through the 3+ hour restore process again.
    This solution is 100% consistent with a corrupt database, and hence I suspect that the Video app is the culprit, consuming space until other systems are affected.
    Has anyone else seen this?

    I'm experiencing this exact issue on two devices:
    iPhone 4S 32GB
    iPad Air 64 GB
    Both while running iOS 7.03 and 7.04 (recently updated both devices to 7.04 hoping it would help. It didn't)
    My iPhone had become nearly unusable until I found your post. It had apparently accumulated >12 GB of "temporary streamed content", as after I did a backup/wipe/restore, I had recovered to around 12 GB free space.
    It's unfortunate that the fix requires a complete reset/restore cycle, as it's very time-consuming, but thanks for providing that fix! It saved my iPhone 4S. Now I can comfortable wait until the 6 comes out to get a new iPhone.
    Really, though, this seems like a critical bug for iOS devices. I'll certainly not stream any iTunes content until/unless this is fixed. I found that if I turn off "Show all Videos" in the Video App settings, it doesn't show the iTunes cloud content for streaming from within the App. This forces me into iTunes to do a full download if I want to watch something. Kind of a pain, but it beats a device that's maxed out on storage and basically bricked.

  • Publisher Content Item has become corrupt

    Hi Team,
    I am a newbie here.
    I have Publisher 6.5. I have a content item that has become corrupt and is not editable any longer. However it can be accessed i.e seen on portal pages.
    We have decided to delete this content item and recreate it again. However the problem is, this content item is used by multiple portlets. If we delete the content item then the connection with other portlets will get broken, I guess.
    How best can I recreate the content item and how should I rejoin it to the broken portlets

    Could you be more descriptive about what you mean by "corrupt"?
    If you haven't already, I would recommend creating a help desk ticket.

  • Why does Essbase become corrupted?

    I see alot of advice on how to restore Essbase but very little information on why a database would become corrupted in the first place.
    I have a database in 9.3.1 and I have a calc script that is run every evening that clears and copies data in the database. On Saturday night while this calc was running, the database suddenly became corrupted and would no longer start until a restored copy was put in place. This was the error:
    A read from file [e:\Hyperion\AnalyticServices\APP\APPLICATION\DATABASE\ess00001.ind], with handle [5] from offset [21921792] for [8192] bytes, failed with error [0] and O/S return code [38] after [0] bytes.
    Unable to Read Information From [5]
    Essbase Internal Logic Error [7333]
    The calc hasn't changed in a few months and the outline had not changed as well.
    I would like to avoid having to do restores and would really appreciate any insight into why the database would be corrupted so I can try to avoid any future issues.

    I've had databases go corrupt when:
    1) Some other process tries to, or succeeds in gabbing rwrite access to files Essbase is trying to write to (think disk backup software).
    2) The Essbase service is stopped while retrieves or calcs (and I suppose loads as well although I've never observed that) are occurring.
    3) Weirdo hardware issues -- I've had RAID arrays die on me (and others) because of faulty hardware but this was a once in a career event.
    4) Essbase/the OS runs out of disk space.
    That's pretty much it for modern versions of Essbase. Older versions would go corrupt if you looked sideways at them but you're on 9.3.1, so that should not be an issue.

  • Non-iTunes downloaded songs are becoming corrupted, starting with album art

    I have Windows Vista, and I just got a new refurbished iPod touch 64gb 5th gen.
    For some reason, songs that I have downloaded (not from iTunes) are becoming corrupted?? some are even old songs I have downloaded months ago but most of this seems to be with songs stuff I haven downloaded recently. This literally just happened yesterday. The album art is showing up on iTunes as half downloaded or with a broken, glitchy bar after I sync to my iPod. Then, most of those songs are corrupted, making those skipping noises in the song. What is even stranger is that most of these messed up songs are ONLY messed up on iTunes, on my iPod they're fine, but then some of them get corrupted on both. I use a "Passport" EXTERNAL hard drive, could there be a problem with that?? Everything I have downloaded is saved to that external hard drive and like I said, even some of the old songs I downloaded months, even years ago are having the album art problem and some of them the sound quality corruption.
    I tried restarting and re downloading iTunes hitting the "repair" option, but I think this may be the external hard drives problem?
    Does anyone know what I should do? Am I asking this question in the correct place?
    Message was edited by: foresttemple

    I can't seem to get album art to download into some of my songs. I compare my song information with the information that's in the iTunes music store & it matches word for word but it won't download the art. I can understand if iTunes didn't have the album but they do & the art wont download at all. I click "get album art" so many times & nothing shows up.

  • Files become corrupt

    Windows 7 64-bit
    8GB Ram
    Indesign CS5.5 with all updates
    FIles:
    small 20,000 word book (1 single document) with no pictures, from a Word file
    500 page book (1 single document), with 20 small jpgs (about 2MB total), text generated from scans/OCR, inserted as unformatted text
    various copies, new/moved, new/IDML, etc. generated as tests
    Problems
    Several (all?) files created since 05/05 (the initial manifestation occurred almost instantly) have become corrupted. It either shows up immediately or takes around 6-8 hours
    Things generally done with a mouse (click and drag to make a text box, resize a text box, copy or move text, placing the cursor to edit) become sluggish (reszing a text box could take 5 seconds to 17 minutes), jerky or sticky (click and drag a handle, release it, the frame edge might move (if and when it does) 0.125" or 6"
    clicking and dragging text sometimes moves the wrong text or releases it in the wrong place
    New text boxes have multiple columns although the columns setting is 1
    Doing some things (e.g. click on export) cause InDesign to freeze
    Failed solutions
    The suddenness of the problem made me think it could be a virus--tested the Word file (noted above) and my system:  found no malware of any sort
    Changed the mouse: touchpad, Wacom Intuos, Logitech trackball (the Wacom tablet works 100% perfectly in Photoshop 32bit, but work only like a mouse in Photoshop 64bit--32/64 bit; drivers are current)
    any attempt to go into InDesign security (as directed by a technician) fail: no permissions (my account has full administrate rights; a new admin account has full administrative rights) so whatever we could have done there, cannot be done
    Exported the file as an InDesign Markup IDML, opened in InDesign
    Moved content of file to new file
    Creating a new file by moving or opening IDML, may not work at all, or will appear to work but the corruption re-occurs in 1-8 hours
    uninstalled and re-installed InDesign
    I uploaded a file to technical support. They promised to call back three different time. They did not. When I have called, they say, "24-48 hours they will call back." 
    Thank you for any help you can give.

    OK, so, I finally got a chance to read this through this thread. Can you post a link to one of the problem documents, or email one to me?
    (Sorry, I had thought you had done so earlier, but I realized I just misinterpretted something you said).
    Another thing to try, of course, is testing against CS6 (8.0.0.370). CS6 does fix a number of bugs and it's where engineers do development, so it's most likely to get easily fixed in CS6 before CS5.5, and there's a not-insignificant chance that CS6 fixes your problem already.
    I think your best bet at this point is to try to isolate the problem and determine what about your documents causes this problem. While getting a new version of InDesign out that fixes your problem is not going to happen quickly (if at all), figuring out how to avoid the problem certainly is doable. After all thousands of people use ID every day and don't see this.
    The best start is to get a minimal document that exhibits the problems (as few pages as possible). Once there, exporting it to IDML and opening the IDML in ID to confirm the corruption survives the IDML. If that's the case, then you can unzip the IDML and inspect it (it is human-readable XML) and try to determine what is unique/special about your document.
    This might be a long odyssey. Of course, my experience is that putting in the effort is more likely to get you results than letting Adobe Support do it for you, but you might have a different scenario.
    I don't want to make excuses for them, but I suspect what's going on is that the support people you are talking to are waiting for the higher-level support people, or even for Engineering, and they don't have good control over the timliness of those other people. But that's not an excuse for giving you callback estimates that are not met -- Adobe seems to have a serious problem with this and I would not give them a free pass for it. It seems to happen all too often.
    If you totally get stuck you could try asking for the Noida Duty Manager and see what that gets you (Noida, UP, India is the location of Adobe's support center).
    But realistically, I'm not sure that is going to make engineering work any faster. Maybe it'll just make them give you more realistic estimates for calls-back...

Maybe you are looking for
