CentOS & dropped FireWire drives -- please help.

I installed Oracle Clusterware 10.2.0.3 (as well as RDBMS 10.2.0.3) on 64-bit CentOS 4.5 running on 2 AMD64 machines. Installation went fine and everything started/worked. But occasionally the FireWire drive is disappearing (fdisk –l giving nothing) and CRS crashing! The problem doesn’t seem to be CRS – it got to be the combination of OS (Linux kernel 2.6.9-55.EL) & Oracle FireWire module (built into kernel using source code) – or may be the Card or Ethernet cable! I didn’t see anything in the /var/log/messages -- totally lost & can’t do anything!
Can you please tell what might be the reason & how to resolve it? Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi, Thanks Very much for the reply.
I got into this situation by applying a permission change to the whole of the Macbook folder, i dont really know what you would call it but the one containing all the system, library and other system files. Here is the result i got
james-pipers-macbook:~ cablemaster$ ls -aldeO /etc/sudoers
-rw-------+ 1 root wheel - 1135 24 Sep 2007 /etc/sudoers

Completely locked out of my 2 Firewire Drives Please Help

Hi
Both my drives have this infamous lock icon on them, as a result of me applying permissions to the contents of the various system related folders.
I have tried running these
sudo chflags nouchg /Volumes/"MOVIES STORAGE BACKUP"
sudo chmod 775 /Volumes/"MOVIES STORAGE BACKUP"
This is what i got:-
sudo: /private/etc/sudoers is mode 0600, should be 0440
I got the same result after doing both the commands.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Greetings,
What happens when you drag it?
Make sure the drive you are moving the files to has enough available space to receive the file:
Click on the movie file and go to File > Get Info and note the "size"
Check the drive to which you are moving the file to make sure it has enough available space: https://idisk.me.com/madisonfile-Public/web/finder-drive-available-space-and-for mat.html
Also note the format of the drive you are copying too. If it is not Mac OS Extended or FAT (not recommended unless you are taking it to a windows computer) then that may be the issue.
Hope that helps.

To delete files from your external HDD, attach it to your MBP and drag the unwanted files to trash and then empty trash.
Then you select the files that you want to transfer by 'drag and drop' to the external HDD and trash the files on your MBP.
Ciao.

Final Cut Pro 4.5 & Dropped Frames..Please Help

I am a wedding videographer and have been using Final Cut Pro with no problems for several video projects. My most current project however problems arise. I am using Mac OS X 10.4.9 with 512 MB of Ram on a G5 1.8 Single. When I try importing video from my last wedding when I capture it I always am getting a message saying dropped frames were present. I have tried 2 different camcorders, 2 different firewire cables, defragmenting my hard drive and still nothing but dropped frames messages. I also have tried importing video from a previous wedding with no luck. If anyone has any ideas please help. Thanks

Shane's Stock Answer #45 - How to get FCP 4.5 working again under Mac OS 10.4.9
Apple's solution: Archive and install the OS again, this time updating only to 10.4.8.
Another COOL solution: Samba2007 posted that a friend solved the FCP 4.5 + OSX 10.4.9 capture issue adding the Capture Scratch folder to the Privacy of Spotlight in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4417320#4417320
OlSchoolCutter tried with SUCCESS (see post in that thread).
Then follow these stepe and try (it's free!):
1. From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
2. From the View menu, choose Spotlight.
3. Click the Privacy tab to reveal the areas that Spotlight will not index.
4. In the Finder, open your "Final Cut Pro Documents" folder.
5. Drag the Capture Scratch folder into Spotlight's list.

FIREWIRE LOST-please help

Please help, my firewire has suddenly stopped working. I upgraded to 10.4.4 recently and remembered to unplug all my firewire devices first. The I tried to force quit itunes today as it wasn't responding. When I restarted the computer none of my firewire devices worked. I repaired disk permissions and tried techtool pro which said the firewire bus was not available. I then went on the forum and tried one suggestion which was to shut down, unplug all firewire devices turn the power off and wait thirty minutes and reconnect everything. This has given me no joy. Does anyone have any ideas? I have on fw800 with a lacie hard drive, on hub with 3 devices plugged in and i'm using the cinema 20' hub for two more devices. they are all powered by their own plugs apart from my ipod.
thanks

Try the Combo update in the following tips you've probably already seen. Zap thr PRAM also. Is your battery good?
Thought you could use this info about getting FireWire to work!
First, you should always Repair Permissions in Disk Utility before and after any update; I would do that now. If you installed your update with FireWire plugged in, your Mac may not recognize it anymore.
Try resetting your FireWire ports by disconnecting all FW devices, shut down your Mac and unplug it from AC power (wall socket) for 30 minutes. plug it back in and try FW.
If that did'nt work, download the combo update from this site (yours may be corrupt), not Software Update, disconnect all firewire + USB devices except keyboard + mouse, Repair Permissions, re-install update, Repair Permissions again + try. Yours is the 10.4.4 Combo update. Others reading, download the Combo that applies to your system.
If that still did'nt get it Zap the PRAM. While restarting Mac hold down the following key combo Command-Option-P-R. Keep holding those keys down till you hear the second start-up chime, then release.
For those of you with Macs that are not PowerBooks or iBooks, a bad internal battery can cause FireWire to not be recognized, so make sure it's good!
Good Luck!
Cheers!

Hi. I really need help. THANK YOU in advance.
I am building a voting contact from in flash profession with AS3. The functionality will allow users to drag and drop choices OR add their own allow them to submit their TOP 5 choices.
PROBLEM:
1. Drag and drop text is not submitted when it is dragged into the editable text field.
HOW CAN I DO THIS TO ALLOW FOR DRAG AND DROPPED ITEMS TO BE SUBMITTED or TEXT THAT IS MANUALLY ENTERED.

PLEASE HELP

It can be fairly involved once you realize how many aspects need to be dealt with. You'll need to find a tutorial that teaches you how to use drag and drop involving targets so that when you drop something you check if it hit a valid target (textfield in your case) and then process your text into that target. You should try searching Google using terms like "AS3 drag drop tutorial" and "AS3 dropTarget tutorial"   Here's a link from the latter of the two that has links to tutorials that might help.

Protocol Confusion of freeTDS jdbc driver, please help!

I use freeTDS jdbc driver to connect to MS SQL 2000. In my programme, firstly I need to select sth out, and base on this update the other field in the same table. TOC will like that
Statement stmt1 = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rs1 = stmt1.executeQuery("select sth from table");
stmt1.executeUpdate("update table set field1 = 'xxx'");
exception throw: java.sql.SQLException: Protocol confusion. Got a 0x79 packet
I checked from the source of TDS driver, this exception throws when the sql query output is not a resultset.
These 2 querys are prefectly okay individually, I tried to reverse the order, doesn't work neither. Even I disconnect the DB Connection and reconnect it before running the 2nd query, it won't help.
Please help!

I haven't used freetds, but seems like defaul version is 5.0. Try it with 7.0 and see it works better. By the way, JDBC driver's readme says that it was only tested with MSSQL 6.5 and 7.0.
---- FAQ from freetds.org ----
Do I need to configure anything?
When you untar the package you will need to run:
$ ./configure
You also have the following options you can add to the configure statement:
--with-tdsver=VERSION
specify the TDS version to use
(4.2, 4.6, 5.0, or 7.0) [default is 5.0].
--enable-msdblib
enable Microsoft APIs and behaviour for DBLib
--enable-dbmfix
rename dbopen() to tdsdbopen() as a work around for dbm name conflict
--with-gnu-ld
assume the C compiler uses GNU ld [default=no]
--enable-shared
build shared libraries [default=yes]
--enable-static
build static libraries [default=yes]
IMPORTANT You must build with TDS version 4.2 to access a MSSQL server or Sybase prior to 10.0! TDS 7.0 may also be used to talk to MS SQL 7 and above.

HP dv4t not detecting hard drive, please help!

Hello, its been just a little over a year since I've bought my HP dvt, and of course the problems start as soon as my warranty has ended.. It's been working fairly fine most of the year, and then just all of a sudden while not even doing anything of importance on computer last week I got a blue screen error..
Ever since then I have had so much problems. At first it just started out with closing the screen and reopening it crashed the laptop in a couple minutes..
The main problem now is, it just does not detect the hard drive when booting up! Sometimes (rarely) it does though.. I thought it was a windows problem, so I did fresh clean install of Windows 7 and reformatted the hard drive. Then I ran CHKDSK and it did it stuff and said volume clean at the end.. It worked perfectly for a couple of hours, was able to close screen and open with no problems. I downloaded "Hard drive sentinel" to monitor my hdd health, and it said 90% which is apparently excellent. Yet as I was installing adobe reader, it crashed, got the blue screen of death and has not been able to boot up since
Can anyone tell what is the problem with it? Anyone else have similar problem? I've tried to reformat again with CD but it doesnt even recognize any drive to install on..
Important thing to note is that, in the BIOS screen when i run the HARD DISK TEST, it does recognize it! So i dont understand why it doesn't load the operating system or cant see the hard drive anywhere else!!
What is at fault even? Is the motherboard dead? Althought the bios screen loads fine so does that mean its OK? Is it the hard drive? CHKDSK and the hdd health monitor thing said it was ok right before the crashes..
Please help, I have my first computer science lab in like 2 days with my laptop breaking just a couple days before it with barely any money left to buy a new laptop

Time to replace your Hard Drive. BACK UP NOW!!!
This will be the 3rd HD in a new HP HDX 18 for me (6 months old).
Open up the HD bay and take a look at the model of the HD.
If it is a SEAGATE MOMENTUS 7200.4 they are known to fail in as little as 1 month from install, and do not last more than 6 months.
Google the brand and you will see that most people are reccomending that you remove the SEAGATE product ASAP (data recovery is next to impossible) and replace it with something else.
I had just finished setting up the PC as I wanted it, OS, programs / Bios, software upgrades, then without warning the 2nd HD went.
I lost EVERYTHING in my C drive, was just preparing to do a full BU and Mirror Image after deleting both from my D and External Drive.
HP is replacing one piece of crap with another, I will be shopping for a different brand for the C drive after the laptop comes back from repair.
There seems to be no end to this BS with SEAGATE drives.
DO A FULL BU NOW!!!

Blinking folder with question mark, and disk utility doesnt recognise hard drive, please help!!!

So today i was using my macbook pro and for some reason my CD/DVD drive was causing noise when i put a DVD inside it, and for some reason it did not recognise my DVD. I force ejected it using the restart and clicking, but after that my computer showed a blinking folder and question mark during start up. I restarted my computer to Recovery HD, but instead it took me to internet Recovery HD (i have mountain lion), and so i went to disk utility to repair my disk, but in the left it did not recognise my hard drive. Please help! Im not that experienced in computing!

Sounds like some sort of power issue and now your drive is not working.
You'll have to take this to Apple for repair.
You should read this if you don't have recent backups of your data off the machine.

We would need to know what operating system you installed but I am going to guess it is Windows 7.It would help more to know if it is 32 or 64 bit. Without that info I cannot link you to anything specific.
This Forum has a Windows 7 upgrade guide specifically for your laptop:
Upgrade Guide
Your laptop has the AMD processor I believe and the network (LAN) driver is part of the main chipset (nVidia nForce) driver, which is absolutely critical to getting your laptop to work properly.

HT1476 My iPhone is charging down. When I plug it in it would go from 47% to 46%. I hope this isn't from dropping it. Please help me.

Last night I plugged my phone in and it indicated and vibrated that it was charging. Every time I looked at it, it said the charge was at 47 percent. About 20 minutes later it was at 46 percent. And it kept going down from that. The same day I almost gotten into a car accident and dropped my iphone pretty hard. I'm just hoping it wasn't caused from that. Please help. PS: this is a new cord I'm using also.

Best advice would be for you to check in with Apple support and ask that an advisor gives your device a diagnostic to see if there are hardware issues. Good luck.
