CHALLENGE! very tricky problem

This has me and an IT Pro completely baffled.
We have a Xserve G5 2.3 which hold all our user home folders (500GB)
We also have a Xserve RAID which holds all our files (14 x 400GB RAID 5)
All Macs are on a brand new Gigabit Switch.
The problem is on some of our Macs, dragging a file ( test file is 100mb) takes 5 seconds as expected, but on 3 Macs the same file takes around 2 minutes.
The macs that are transfering slow are G4 dual 1Ghz, and 2 G5 1.8Ghz
First I ruled out it being a problem with the user account
Rob usually logs into the G4 dual, and is transfering test file in 2 mins.
If Rob logs into another Mac it transfers in 5 secs. If any other user logs into the G4 dual they drop to 2 mins on the test file.
Next I ruled out it being a System Software problem
I made a clone of a fast Mac and restored it onto the G4 Dual, still tranfered at 2 mins, So I tried a full re-install from the original CD, still two minutes.
Then I ruled out a Network/Hardware problem
I tried logging into the G4 Dual as a local user, and this time the file transfered in 5 seconds.
also tried forcing to gigabit and full duplex as well as automatic, tried a different switch, and it also isn't a cable issue because we have just moved to a new office with brand new cabling and it is the same result as the old office.
I have also re-bound these macs to the server, and tried binding manually as well as via DHCP.
Any Ideas will be gratefully received!

while copying this file, have you checked the system logs?
since it takes a long time to complete the finder copy, i'm wondering if maybe there's something wrong with the finder itself. if so, there may be errors in the logs.
it's a long shot, but it may help to check the logs.
if there are any finder errors, try re-running the 10.4.7 combo updater and test again.
i'm just guessing here, since i've never experienced what you have here.
anyone else have any ideas?

  • Apple Banned me, because of a very weird problem with my "Factory Unlocked"

    Hi Everybody! Im having a very weird problem with my unlocked iphone 4.
    First of all, i would like to apologize because of my english, is not very good. My native language is Spanish.
    Well.. Im from Mexico, and here we can buy the iphone Unlocked on the Apple Online Store.
    Here's my problem. Apple has exchanged my iphone 3 times.
    I returned the iphone the first time because the screen was totally yellowish, other than that everything was working great!, that was by the end of September.
    On October 20th, i recieved my second iphone, and then a bigger problem started .
    Before i continue, let me give you this information: here in Mexico we have basically 3 cell phone companies
    1.- Telcel
    2.- Movistar
    3.- Unefon
    OK, now on october 20th, i recieved my second iphone, and then procced to activate via itunes using my UNEFON sim card (microsim).
    And every time i tried to activate it, only got this message onscreen:
    http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s2/jorgelomeli/Screenshot2010-10-29at24915PM. png
    I though something was wrong with my brand new factory unlocked iphone 4.
    I have 4 more simcards from my brothers (they all had iphone 4 too)
    I tried telcel sim card, and i could activate my iphone. Then i insterted the Movistar microsim, and it worked too!! But then when i put the Unefon sim, the itunes logo inmediatly appears on the screen asking to activate on itunes, and when i tried that, the only response i got was the image above saying " The Simcard inserted on this iphone does not appear to be supported"
    Weird thing here is, that, when i put my Unefon sim card on my brothers iphone 4, it worked great! on all of them, internet 3g, phone, wireless , evrything!
    I called apple support, and they exchange the iphone for another one.
    I recieved the third iphone on October 29. Last friday. and guess what? SAME PROBLEM! different serial number, same week production (week 42) but exactly the same message on itunes.
    Very, very frustrated, i called apple again, and after 1 hour with thechnical support, they told me " We are sorry, but we can only offer you, your money back, NO MORE EXCHANGES FOR YOU"
    I said why?... i dont want my money back! i want an UNLOCKED iphone!, but they refuse to give me another iphone.
    When i asked techincal support, why my unefon sim card worked great on all three of my brothers iphone but not on mine, he just told me, "I really dont know, i guess they just got lucky" ****, this answer put all my trust i had on apple products for years, right on the garbage.
    Since they refused to give me another iphone, i accepted my money back, and inmediatly after i finished the call, i asked my brother to buy me one more time an iphone 4 using his name, and his credit card. Now i have to wait until November 8-12 to recieve my new iphone, hoping this time i get a REAL UNLOCKED iphone, and not a partially unlocked iphone.
    btw. i even went to Unefon costumer service and bought a new prepiad line, with a new microsim, just to be 100% sure that this problem is not because of the sim. And again didnt worked on my iphone, but it worked on any of my brothers iphone4.
    Serial numbers of the 3 iphones:
    79039C0U* (this one worked great with Unefon, only problem was yellow screen)
    85042GR4*
    81042FJB*
    What do you suggest me? any info would be really aprecciated
    FYI i also restore 4 times the last iphone and nothing seemed to work, i use 3 different computers, Macbook Pro, iMac, and an Hp with Windows 7, and the same message on all three computers.
    Wierd thing also, one of my brothers bougth an iphone 4 this last week too, but he bought the 16Gb not the 32Gb. His iphone production week is 42 also! and when i put my Unefon sim in his iphone works great!
    I dont know what else i can do, I just need to have faith that my new iphone coming this november will be real unlocked, but what if i'll recieve an iphone and then the same problem?? time for android? just kidding really guys, what can i do? anyone with similar problem like me? i dont wanna use Telcel or Movistar, i wanna use Unefon, and thats why i bought an Unlocked iphone
    btw: jailbreak is not a solution for me, because i always like to use legal software on all my apple products, and because of the warranty.

    According to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937, there are two official carriers in Mexico (Movistar and Telcel) and neither carrier offers an unlocked phone.

    My IPhone 3GS will not now join wifi, this is a very recent problem.  It finds my network but does not download the IP Address hence when I load password Join remains grey.  I have tried all the fixes suggested I.e.  network reset, airplane on then off but still nothing.  I also have another iPhone of the same type and an iPad and they are just fine so I know it is not a router problem.  Please please what do I do?

  • Very Simple Problem-- Need help in method selection process

    Hello,
    It's difficult to explain the background of the program I am making-- but I am stuck at a very simple problem, that I can only solve with a very long block of if statements:
    I have 3 possible numbers-- 1, 2, or 3.
    Imagine two numbers are already taken-- say 1 and 2. I want a variable to set itself to the number that's not taken (3).
    So, again: If two numbers were taken say 2 or 3-- I want the variable to be sent to the other one that isn't taken-- 1.
    Thank you for your help,
    Evan.

    Actually, I'll just tell you the context of the program-- here is what I have so far:
    This program is meant to simulate Monty Hall Problem:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Hall_problem
    The program sets up an array of three possible values. Each one of those values represents a door with either a goat or a car behind it. It then randomly sets one of those values to 1 (in order to represent a car as per the Monty Hall problem), and 0's represent goats.
    The user, which is simulated by the program (does not involve actual interaction), chooses a door initially.
    The game show hosts then reveals a door that is not the users initial choice, but IS a goat ( an array value of 0).
    For example if the array was [0][0][1]
    The user could pick door one (array position 0). Which is a goat.
    The game show host then reveals a goat that is not the users choice-- which would be array position 1.
    After the game show host reveals the goat-- I want the user to always switch his decision to the only other remaining door that was not his first choice.
    Then I wanted the computer to test to see if his final choice is the one with a car. And to tally up the amount of times he got it right.
    --Sorry that was long winded:
    import TerminalIO.*;//imports TerminalIO package for system.out.println
    import java.util.*;//import java.util for random
    public class Monty_Problem
         int doors[]= {0,0,0};
         Random rand= new Random();
         double wins,totals=0;
         public void carAssignment()
              int car_door= rand.nextInt(3);
              doors[car_door]=1;
         public int judgesChoice(int judgeDoor, int initialChoice)
              if(judgeDoor != initialChoice && doors[judgeDoor]!=1)
                   return judgeDoor;
              else
                   return judgesChoice(rand.nextInt(3), initialChoice); //infinite loop right here that I cannot remedy.  I want the program to have the judge pick a location that is not occupied by a  '1' and is not the user's choice. 
         public void gamePlaySwitches()
              int initialChoice= rand.nextInt(3);
              int judgeDoor = 0;
              int secondChoice= 0;
              judgeDoor= judgesChoice(rand.nextInt(3), initialChoice);
              //This part is meant to have the user switch choices from his initial choice
                   // to the only other choice that hasn't been revealed by the judge. 
              while(secondChoice == initialChoice || secondChoice== judgeDoor)
                   secondChoice++;
              if(doors[secondChoice]==1)

  • A very strange problem in netbeans

    i debug a project in netbeans,a a very strange problem happens.
    a member variable was different between wtk20 and wtk22.and the variable was changed many places so it's hard to trace!
    but there hasn't the problem when i debug project in jbuilderx!

    My problem is, even I've written the SQL in the correct syntax, in my java code, it just look like this
    adc.SQL("insert into test(subject, content) values('" + sf.filter(subject.getText()) +"'"
                                  + "," + "'"
                                  + sf.filter(board.getText()) + "')" );
                                  subject.setText("");
                                  board.setText("");
    where subject is a textfield and board is a JTextArea and sf is a string filter which use regular expression, I basically want to insert the string in these component into the database, Many strings work, but client for updates can't be inserted.

  • Very Urgent - Problem in showing JPopupMenu using 1.4 plugin

    Hello ,
    I have a very different problem with JPopupMenu. I have developed a new PopupMenu extending the MetalComboPopup used by the MetalComboBoxUI. I have registered with the JPopupMenu for the callback methods popupMenuWillBecomeVisible && Invisible(). I have an applet which instantiates (3 instances) my JComboBox. When I run the applet using the JDK1.4 plugin, when I click the second JComboBox, the first and the second JComboBox's popups appear at the same time. I am unable to suppress the popup (i.e Only one popup should appear at a time).
    Can anybody help me out in this issue.

    Did you try changing the driver then?
    Please use Oracle's thin driver instead of the oci driver.
    There are many advantages of using the type 4 driver. the first and foremost being that it does not require oracle client side software on your machine. Therefore no enteries to be made in tnsnames.ora
    The thin driver is available in a jar called classes112.zip the class which implements the thin driver is oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
    the connection string is
    jdbc:oracle:thin:@<machine name>:1521:<sid>
    please try out with the thin driver and let me know.
    regards,
    Abhishek.

  • Very annoying problem since 1-2 years with "AllSport GPS" app and e-mail "terror" - please help!

    Hi there,
    I have a very annoying problem that occurs since 1-2 years. Now I want to get finally rid of this.
    I bought the app "AllSport GPS" via BlackBerry App World in 2010. After the uninstallation of this app due to new devices one or two years ago I have the following problem:
    On each (!) update of my list in the BlackBerry World app or after the reset and reload of the content of installed app I receive 1-5 (different amount) of mails with the following content:
    AllSport GPS license key for your BlackBerry
    Thank you for purchasing AllSport GPS from BlackBerry App World.  The license key for your device is:
    XXXXXXXXXX
    This is VERY annoying! I also informed the publisher of the app (Trimble Outdoors) but they told me to contact BlackBerry. During the last 1-2 years - because I often refresh and look after new updates for my apps (I have many installed on my device) - I received, no fake, hundreds (!) of this annoying mails!
    I bought the app with my older 9700 or 9790. In the meantime, on my Bold 9790, the app is not available any longer for this, so it is not shown in my BlackBerry World environment. In this case I could make a new clear installation and deletion of the app. But this is not possible.
    It would be great if anybody of BlackBerry is reading this and could reset or delete the resending of this mail.
    Are there other other thay also have this problem? Any suggestions?
    Greetings from Germany
    Daniel

    Actually, this is a user-to-user forum. There are some BlackBerry employees who read these posts, but in most case you are only talking to other BlackBerry users.
    So to solve your question, you will need somebody from BlackBerry, as most other users will not really be able to solve the problem. If you contacted BlackBerry Support, I guess the best thing is to wait for their answer. You can try tweeting to @BlackBerryHelp, in some cases they can reply to you faster. Or you can have their attention much faster.
    I find it weird myself that you haven't contacted them before, as you say the problem is since a couple of years now.
    I am afraid that you will not receive a lot more information on this forum (as this is a rather specific problem in my opinion). Except maybe if one of the BlackBerry employees on this forum notices this post.
    I hope your problem is solved soon!
    A like is always appreciated,
    but a nomination for BB Elite even more :-)

  • Very big problem with JSF about FORM and "id=" for HTML form's elements and

    I have discovered a very big problem with JSF about FORM and "id=" for HTML form's elements and java instruction "request.getParameterNames()".
    Suppose you have something like this, to render some datas form a Java Beans :
    <h:dataTable value="#{TablesDb2Bean.myDataDb2ListSelection}" var="current" border="2" width="50%" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" style="text-align: center">
    <h:column>
    <f:facet name="header">
    <h:outputText value="Name"/>
    </f:facet>
    <h:outputText id="nameTableDb2" value="#{current.db2_name_table}"/>
    </h:column>
    </h:dataTable>
    Everything works fine...
    Suppose you want to get the name/value pairs for id="nameTableDb2" and #{current.db2_name_table} to process them in a servlet. Here is the HTML generated :
    <td><span <span class="attribute-name">id=<span class="attribute-value">"j_id_jsp_1715189495_22:0:nameTableDb2">my-table-db2-xxxxx</span></td>
    You think you can use the java instructions :
    Enumeration NamesParam = request.getParameterNames();
    while (NomsParam.hasMoreElements()) {
    String NameParam = (String) NamesParam.nextElement();
    out.println("<h4>"++NameParam+ "+</h4>);
    YOU ARE WRONG : request.getParameterNames() wants the syntax *name="nameTableDb2" but JSF must use id="nameTableDb2" for "<h:outputText"... So, you can't process datas in a FORM generated with JSF in a Servlet ! Perhaps I have made an error, but really, I wonder which ?

    Edited by: ungars on Jul 18, 2010 12:45 AM

    While I certainly appreciate ejb's helpful responses, this thread shows up a difference in perspective between how I read the forum and how others do. Author ejb is correct in advising you to stay inside JSF for form processing if form processing is what you want to do.
    However, I detect another aspect to this post which reminds me of something Marc Andreesen once said when he was trying to get Netscape off the ground: "there's no such thing as bad HTML."
    In this case, I interpret ungar's request as a new feature request. Can I phrase it like this?
    "Wouldn't it be nice if I could render my nice form with JSF but, in certain cases, when I REALLY know what I'm doing" just post out to a separate servlet? I know that in this case I'll be missing out on all the nice validation, conversion, l10n, i18n, ajax, portlet and other features provided by JSF".
    If this is the case, because it really misses the point of JSF, we don't allow it, but we do have an issue filed for it
    https://javaserverfaces-spec-public.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=127
    If you can't wait for it to be fixed, you could decorate the FormRenderer to fix what you want.
    I have an example in my JSF book that shows how to do this decoration. http://bit.ly/edburnsjsf2

    Dear Sir/Mam,
    I am writing you because of facing a problem in my ipod. I have downloaded wechat a month a go and then deleted later on, but last night I needed wechat again so i try to download it but the very astonishing problem occurs in downloading that. In apple store when i search wechat there is written open on it right side instead of free or install. I become so much astonished that if i don't have wechat in my ipod apps then how it become written open on it....?????? i just tap that open but its nor opening neither downloading.....
    I am so much worried about that problem because i need wechat badly....
    Please help me as soon as possible....

    If you are getting the 'open' option on the Purchased tab in the App Store app then that implies that you still have the app installed - you've checked all of your iPod's homescreens and app folders for it, and tried searching for it via its spotlight search screen (swipe your first homescreen to the right) ? Do any of those find it, or if you tap on the 'open' button does that open the app ?

  • A very comfusing problem

    Dear experts,
    I have a very confusing problem.
    There is a field 'B' in a table A.
    In a custom program, we can't find the code to update the field. but in fact when the program is run over, the field is updated.
    Meanwhile I have tried to use ST05 = SQL trace to trace the log, but I still found nothing related to this field.
    So is there any alternative way to update it?
    thanks!

    Go to table say 'ZABC' in se11
    press where used list.
    check the checkbox named program only.
    here you will get the name of programs those use this table .
    you can double click to navigate to proper program part where this table is updated.
    try to find the name of table in program.

    A user should be able to see the first 3 columns and be able to refer the col4 although he does not have access privilege on the col4.
    Is this possible in Oracle ? If yes, please le me know how to.

  • ALV Grid - Very Strange Problem

    I am facing a very strange problem in ALV Grid. Our’s is a ECC5 system on SAP_APPL SAPKH50011 and SAP_BASIS SAPKB64016.
    I have implemented the ALV grid in a screen using classes. This grid by default appears in display mode however it can be switched to change mode and back to display mode using a custom button on the ALV toolbar. When the user clicks the change button the grid appears in editable mode. During the back and forth switching of the ALV between Change/Display modes the ALV grid control is not destroyed however the toolbar, fieldcatalog and ALV contents are refreshed.
    The data which is entered in an editable cell is validated using the data_changed event which has been implemented locally. If the validation fails an error message is raised using the message statement which is being issued correctly. Now when I correct the data and then click on another cell in the ALV grid the program is being aborted. Any clue why this is happening??

    Please check this code
    In the PBO of the screen set the field catalog and layout , i think this will help not to refresh the field catalog every time swtich between display and change mode
        set titlebar sy-dynnr with p_netwk.
        call method g_grid->set_frontend_fieldcatalog
          exporting
            it_fieldcatalog = gt_fieldcat[].
        call method g_grid->set_frontend_layout
          exporting
            is_layout = gs_layout.
        call method g_grid->refresh_table_display.
