Cannot open time & date prefs

I noticed that along the top bar, my date was not reading the way it should. Instead of 5/4/2010, it reads 3 5 4 (with the spaces there). So, I right click on the time/date and select time & date preferences, and instead of opening, it takes me to a 'system preferences quit unexpectedly' where I have 3 choices, 'show details' which opens a long data screen, with a space for me to type in what I supposed happened, an 'ok' button, that just closes the error screen, and a 'reopen' button which takes me to the system prefs page, and if I click on the date/time icon there, it just takes me back to the **** quit unexpectedly screen. So? HELP!
and thx

Can you try going into Terminal: Applications > Utilities > Terminal and typing:
date
followed by the enter key (aka 'return' key) and letting us know what is returned? If you've installed any new software lately (including a system update), also try repairing disk permissions: Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility. Select your hard drive from the left and click on 'Repair disk permissions'.
Good luck.

It is frustrating that recently on my i-phone 4s that i cannot add time/date alerts in reminders. How to fix??

You can, but stupid rules in reminders.
After you set up a new list and hit done
Tap the info button to add date and time, repeats etc.
I don't like it.
I will use the task list attached to my calendar app instead.

Yup, sure sounds like it.
It does have a .sparsebundle for the machine that is backup up. There is only 52G free on the 1T time capsule, so it seems that the data is there,
That's good, obviously. Often it won't mount at all, and you're in a very large pickle.
I'm not seeing nor beleive I'm having a hardware issue with the time capsule.
Probably not.
I'm wondering if I have some sort of version issue between 10.7.x that the Time machine on the time capsule was created with and 10.8.4
No, at least not that's been reported. A sparsebundle is a sparsebundle, as far as we can tell.
I don't use hdiutil or fsck, so bear with me. Drag the sparsebundle into Disk Utility's sidebar and try Repair Disk on it. See what messages it shows. (They may not appear in the window; click the Log icon or select Window > Show Log from the menubar.)
Do you have a copy of DiskWarrior? It can operate on a sparsebundle, and sometimes can fix things Disk Utility (and hdiutil or fsck) can't.
I haven't found any good way to parse out/copy files from a sparse bundle
If you double-click it, does the disk image (named "Time Machine Backups") mount (should appear on your Desktop and/or Finder sidebar)? If it does, can you open it via the Finder? If so, you'll find the usual Backups.backupdb folder inside, with one folder named for your Mac, and inside that all the date-stamped backup folders, each with one folder per drive that was backed-up, and inside that the full folder structure.
If so, you can probably drag & drop, but depending on what kind of damage there is, and where, that may not work well, if at all.
Best, of course, is if you can repair it and just do a full restore.

RTP Cannot open local data port

Hello,
I'm about to learn JMF. So I tried the example code from the sun JMF documentation(example10-1; code is appended).
The code compiles without errors but when I run it, I alway get the following error:

Cannot open Time Machine restore screen (Star Wars)

I've got a Late 2006 iMac (amongst others) running Lion 10.7.5 which I backup to a NAS drive and for some reason I can't get into the Star Wars restore screen to access the backed up files. When I select Enter Time Machine it connects to the NAS which is a Netgear ReadyNAS Duo and sometimes it makes Finder the focus application but then nothing. The machine seems to backup just fine, no errors connects and disconnects to the NAS. I thought at first it may be the NAS or the backup set where the problem lay, but I even connected a USB drive to it, again it backs up but will not open Time Machine to restore anything. It is driving me mad all the other machine I have work just fine, and the problem is this one has some homework files for my which I need to recover.
Thanks in advance.

Is that the one in several languages? If so, that's a *kernel panic.* They're usually hardware, but not always. Disconnect everything, except keyboard and mouse. Reconnect one at a time to see if you can find the culprit.
If that's no help, disconnect everything again and run the Apple Hardware Test, from the separate disc that came with your Mac. Instructions should be printed on it (in very tiny type).
If it passes that, you might want to download and run the Rember app, a free and much more extensive memory test: http://www.kelleycomputing.net/rember/

Several tries produced the same results. I then went to a different hard drive and opened applications for the problem hard drive.
You lost me there. What is the "different hard drive"? A clone? Of the same Mac?
Which is the "problem hard drive," the replaced internal?
It appears the restore brought back everything but almost all application icons are grayed out with a slash across them, not third party stuff either but iTunes, Safari, System Preferences, Mail etc. When clicking on them I get the pop up "You can't open the application ____ because it is not supported on this type of Mac"
This almost sounds like you got PPC stuff restored onto an Intel, or vice-versa.

Hi, and welcome to the forums.
That's a new one. It sounds like something has been copied from a PPC Mac, or something's been corrupted so badly it looks like that's where it came from.
Can you do a +Back Up Now+ from the TM icon in your Menubar?
If, as you say, TM "stopped working," you'd have to figure out why and fix it, anyway.
Can you make a partition on your TM disk that's at least 10% larger than the data on your internal HD? if so, your best bet might be to download CarbonCopyCloner. It will make a full bootable "clone" of your entire system on a separate partition. It's donationware, available at: http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html

Airport Utility/Time Machine, cannot open Airport Utility

Cannot open Time Machine. I go to set up, Change Disc, click on Time Capsule and notice pops up to enter name and password. There is only space for password, no space for name. When I go to Utilities and click on Airport Utility message pops up "The application Airport Utility quit unexpectedly". Clicked relaunch and same message pops up. How can I open Airport Utility which should then allow me to open Time Machine?

Sorted, it was an issue with the channel on the TC not matching the channel on the router. I manually matched them and now all is good.

Cannot open your default e-mail folders. You must connect to Microsoft Exchange with the current profile before you can synchronize your folders with your Outlook data file (.ost)

Fresh installation of Exchange Server 2013 on Windows Server 2012.
Our first test account cannot access their email via Outlook but can access fine through OWA. The following message appears - "Cannot open your default e-mail folders. You must connect to Microsoft Exchange with the current profile before you can synchronize
your folders with your Outlook data file (.ost)" is displayed.
If I turn off cached Exchange mode, setting the email account to not
cache does not resolve the issue and i get a new error message - "Cannot open your default e-mail folders. The file (path\profile name).ost is not an Outlook data file (.ost). Very odd since it creates its own .ost file when you run it for the first
time.
I cleared the appdata local Outlook folder and I tested on a new laptop that has never connected to Outlook, same error message on any system.
Microsoft Exchange RPC Client Access service is running.
No warning, error or critical messages in the eventlog, it's like the healthiest server alive.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I haven't encountered this issue with previous versions of Exchange.

So it looks like a lot of people are having this issue and seeing how Exchange 2013 is still new (relatively to the world) there isn't much data around to answer this. I've spend ALOT of time trying to figure this out.
Here is the answer. :) - No I don't know all but I'm going to try to give you the most reasonable answer to this issue, in a most logical way.
First thing I did when I was troubleshooting this issue is that I ignored Martina Miskovic's suggestion for Step4 http://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj218640(EXCHG.150)because it didn't make sense to me because I was trying to connect
Outlook not outside the LAN but actually inside. However, Martina's suggestion does fix the issue if it's applied in the correct context.
This is where the plot thickens (it's stew). She failed to mention that things like SSL (which I configure practically useless - anyone who ever worked in a business environment where the owner pretty much trusts anyone in the company, otherwise they don't
work there - very good business practice in my eyes btw, can confirm that...) are some sort of fetish with Microsoft lately. Exchange 2013 was no exception.
In exchange 2003, exchange 2007 and exchange 2010 - you could install it and then go to outlook and set it up. And when outlook manual Microsoft Exchange profile would ask you for server name, you would give it and give the name of the person who you setting
up - as long as machine is on the domain, not much more is needed. IT JUST WORKS! :) What a concept, if the person already on premises of the business - GIVE HIM ACCESS. I guess that was too logical for Microsoft. Now if you're off premises you can use things
like OutlookAnywhere - which I might add had their place under that scenario.
In Exchange 2013, the world changed. Ofcourse Microsoft doesn't feel like telling it in a plain english to people - I'm sure there is an article somewhere but I didn't find it. Exchange 2013 does not support direct configuration of Outlook like all of it's
previous versions. Did you jaw drop? Mine did when I realized it. So now when you are asked for your server name in manual outlook set up and you give it Exchange2013.yourdomain.local - it says cannot connect to it. This happens because ALL - INTERNAL AND
EXTERNAL connection are now handled via OutlookAnywhere. You can't even disable that feature and have it function the reasonable way.
So now the question still remains - how do you configure outlook. Well under server properties there is this nice section called Outlook anywhere. You have a chance to configure it's External and Internal address. This is another thing that should be logical
but it didn't work that way for me. When I configured the external address different from the internal - it didn't work. So I strongly suggest you get it working with the same internal address first and then ponder how you want to make it work for the outside
users.
Now that you have this set up you have to go to virtual directories and configure the external and internal address there - this is actually what the Step 4 that Martina was refering to has you do.
Both external and internal address are now the same and you think you can configure your outlook manually - think again. One of the most lovely features of Outlook Anywhere, and the reason why I had never used it in the past is that it requires a TRUSTED
certificate.
See so it's not that exchange 2013 requires a trusted certificate - it's that exchange 2013 lacks the feature that was there since Windows 2000 and Exchange 5.5.
So it's time for you to install an Active Direction Certificate Authority. Refer to this wonderful article for exact steps - http://careexchange.in/how-to-install-certificate-authority-on-windows-server-2012/
Now even after you do that - it won't work because you have to add the base private key certificate, which you can download now from your internal certsrv site, to Default Domain Policy (AND yes some people claim NEVER mess with the Default Domain Policy,
always make an addition one... it's up to you - I don't see direct harm if you know what you want to accomplish) see this: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc738131%28v=ws.10%29.aspx if you want to know exact steps.
This is the moment of ZEN! :) Do you feel the excitement? After all it is your first time. Before we get too excited lets first request and then install the certificate to actual Exchange via the gui and assign it to all the services you can (IIS, SMTP and
there is a 3rd - I forgot, but you get the idea).
Now go to your client machine where you have the outlook open, browse to your exchange server via https://exchang2013/ in IE and if you don't get any certificate errors - it's good. If you do run on hte client and the server: gpupdate /force This will refresh
the policy. Don't try to manually install the certificate from Exchange's website on the client. If you wanna do something manually to it to the base certificate from the private key but if you added it to the domain policy you shouldn't have to do it.
Basically the idea is to make sure you have CA and that CA allows you to browse to exchange and you get no cert error and you can look at the cert and see that's from a domain CA.
NOW, you can configure your outlook. EASY grasshoppa - not the manual way. WHY? Cause the automatic way will now work. :) Let it discover that exachange and populate it all - and tell you I'm happy! :)
Open Outlook - BOOM! It works... Was it as good for you as it was for me?
You may ask, why can't I just configure it by manual - you CAN. It's just a nightmare. Go ahead and open the settings of the account that got auto configed... How do you like that server name? It should read something like [email protected]
and if you go to advanced and then connection tab - you'll see Outlook Anywhere is checked as well. Look at the settings - there is the name of the server, FQDN I might add. It's there in 2 places and one has that Mtdd-something:Exchange2013.yourdomain.local.
So what is that GUID in the server name and where does it come from. It's the identity of the user's mailbox so for every user that setting will be different but you can figure it out via the console on the Exchange server itself - if you wish.
Also a note, if your SSL certs have any trouble - it will just act like outlook can't connect to the exchange server even though it just declines the connection cause the cert/cert authority is not trusted.
So in short Outlook Anywhere is EVERYWHERE! And it has barely any gui or config and you just supposed to magically know that kind of generic error messages mean what... Server names are now GUIDs of the [email protected] - THAT MAKES PERFECT
SENSE MICROSOFT! ...and you have to manage certs... and the only place where you gonna find the name of the server is inside the d*** Outlook Anywhere settings in the config tab, un it's own config button - CAN WE PUT THE CONFIG ANY FURTHER!
Frustrating beyond reason - that should be Exchange's new slogan...
Hope this will help people in the future and won't get delete because it's bad PR for Microsoft.
PS
ALSO if you want to pick a fight with me about how SSL is more secure... I don't wanna hear it - go somewhere else...

Cannot open 2 Virtual Machines at the same time to access the same Database

Folks,
Hello.
I am installing Oracle Database 11gR2 RAC system using 2 Virtual Machines (rac1 and rac2) on the top of VMPlayer 3.
The VM rac1 and rac2 run correctly when one of them is shutdown.
Their locations are F:\VM_RAC\rac1 and F:\VM_RAC\rac2.
While rac2 is running, I open rac1. But this error message comes up:
Error: "Cannot open the disk F:\VM_RAC\sharerac\asm1.vmdk or one of snapshot disks it depends on. Reason: failed to lock the file."
While rac1 is running, I open rac2. But this error message comes up:
Error: "Cannot open the disk F:\VM_RAC\sharerac\asm1.vmdk or one of snapshot disks it depends on. Reason: failed to lock the file."
The 2 error messages are the same. This means I cannot open 2 VMs rac1 and rac2 at the same time. When we run RAC system, we have to open 2 machines or more than 2 machines at the same time so that all machines can access the same Database Server.
My question is:
Can any folk tell me how to have rac1 and rac2 run at the same time ?
Thanks.

You need to disable disk locking, which ordinarily is performed by the first VM to prevent any other VMs from corrupting your vmdk files via uncoordinated writes. You will have to shutdown both of your VMs and edit the *.vmx flat file for each, adding lines like the following (settings taken from workstation 6, but should be nearly identical settings for VM Player 3.x):
http://crosbysite.blogspot.com/2007/10/clustering-in-vmware-workstation-6.html
scsi1.sharedbus = "Virtual"
disk.locking = "false"
diskLib.dataCacheMaxSize = "0"
diskLib.dataCacheMaxReadAheadSize = "0"
diskLib.dataCacheMinReadAheadSize = "0"
diskLib.dataCachePageSize = "4096"
diskLib.maxUnsyncedWrites = "0"
A few comments:
- your shared disks (scsi1) must be on a separate virtual scsi bus than the boot disk (scsi0), to allow setting the sharedbus flag as seen above.
- you must also ensure the cache parameters and unsynced writes settings are set to guarantee that all IO is immediately flushed to the vmdk file so the other VM can immediately access the latest version of data.

Quick time cannot open an .avi file

Quick time cannot open an .avi file

Quick time cannot open an .avi file
What QT player are you using and shat forms of compressed data does the AVI file contain?
AVI is a legacy file container type abandoned by Microsoft a dozen years ago in favor of development of its newer, proprietary Windows Media product. While the AVI file container is still supported by all QT players, the codecs used to encode the data contained in the file are, for the most part not supported by QT X player and may require the installation of third-party codecs for use with the QT 7 player. Basically, you have three options here:
You can use the QT 7 player with additional codecs (if available) to play the content.
You can use a third-party player like VLC or NicePlayer with built-in codec support to player the files.
Or you can use an app like HandBrake to convert the AVI files to MPEG-4 or MPEG-4 AVC files compatible with all current QT/QL/IOS players.

FTPEx: 425 Possible PASV port theft, cannot open data connection..

I am getting the below the error while comminicating to FTP server.
Delivery of the message to the application using connection File_http://sap.com/xi/XI/System failed, due to: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Possible PASV port theft, cannot open data connection.: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 425 Possible PASV port theft, cannot open data connection..
This error is random. Some times service is working is fine and some times its failed to process.
Can any one suggest me the peramnent solution for this.
Thanks & regards,
Kartikeya

Hi
The reason for the error is
The ip address (+port) is not same for both these operations
    - Control connection
    - Data Connection
Changing active/passive mode settings might help (as a common solution).
Problem can occur due to below settings,
   - FTP server/ Firewall on its side (affects Passive Mode)
   - FTP client/ Firewall on its side (affects Active Mode)
After Initial Control connection is made, the below happens for Data connection
When Active, the CLIENT opens a dynamic port for DC on which it would be listening, for the server to bind its source port
When Passive, the SERVER opens a dynamic port for DC on which it would be listening for the client to bind its source port
when the firewall on Server side does not have these ports open, you get the above error.
The error could be because of other reasons also, but I suspect that the dynamic port is out range of the ports opened at your FTP server firewall.
So now I think you are one step forward to fix the issue
Regards
Vishnu
