Checking Disc Allocation Message

I'm trying to do a Capture Now to input some VHS footage. The window that usually shows the capture is black and says "Chacking Disk Allocation" The beach ball spins until I get fed up and force quit the program (I've given it up to 40 minutes to do whatever it is it says it wants to do). The Capture folder on the scratch disk fills with unitiled 2G files until it's full. I've trashed preferences and recently dumped off all the old project files and clips to make room for a new job.
I've got an internal drive with 50G avail., and 2 external firewire drives with 60G and 170G avail. The 170 is the capture disk. I'm runn FCP 4.5 with OS 10.4.3 on a G4 with a 1.4Ghz accelerator and 1G RAM. It used to work just fine, suddenly this.

#10 Capture now makes large file, Beachball
Shane's Stock Answer #10
1) Set a limit on Capture Now. Never have that box unchecked. Set it to 60 min if you want the whole tape.
2) Do not under any circumstances run any anti-virus/filesaver software. Including Norton and Virex. Sure, Apple doles out Virex for free, but FCP doesn't cooperate with it very well.
If you absolutely feel you must keep Virex installed on your system then use Kevin's script to shut it off before you use FCP:

3) Do not capture to your main system drive.
4) Check the format of the drive you are capturing to. It should be Mas OS Extended, jornalling off. If it isn't, copy your files from it and re-initialize it. If it is any other format, you will encounter problems. If not at first, then eventually.

Disc Utility Messages

Hi Everybody!
Ok you Mac experts...riddle me this one...
In running my usual diagnostic for my system I recieve the exact SAME messages from Disc Utility, can anyone tell me what these mean?
Disc Utility message, OS 10.3.9

Thanks/ Merci

Disk Utility reports some messages that you can ignore when checking permissions
The messages seem to be covered by this support article, including:
"We are using special permissions for..."
"We are using a special uid for..."
These are status messages and not a cause for concern. The message(s) will appear each time you check permissions.

Macbook Air - disc full message even after cleaning

I got the disc full message so I saved everything on to a flash drive and deleted every video, picture, and word document that I've ever created. Also some application I do not use. My computer was acting slower around the time I got the original 'disc full' message. After clearing everything off, including itunes. My computer was still running slow, with long loading times online. I downloaded the new Maverick operating system and my computer is running back at normal speed. However, I can only save a few documents before I get that same 'disc full' message. I checked my 'about this mac' and under storage it says there is a total of 3.3GB free out of 120.47GB.
I'm no computer expert, but shouldnt I have memory at least to save a bunch of documents?
I'm a student and I'm always saving notes, word docs, pictures for power point. I need this extra room asap. flashdrives are nice but I can work more efficient with my flashdrive cooperating.
Can some one please help me out?

Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Reboot and it should go away.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Checking the Allocation of General Ledgers to Cost Centres

Hi Gurus,
Can anyone help me to find out that how to check the allocation of General Ledgers expenses to various cost centers.
Since in production concern , one GL might be getting allocated to various cost centers . I just wanted to know that a particular GL a/c is getting allocated to this , this and this Cost Centers in my system.
Please tell me the way to counter check it as well so that I will be of sure that there is not Cost Center left behind.
I am hoping that I have put my question correctly.
Thanking you all in advance.
Yasir Shaikh.

Thank you Ali,
Dear All,
I was taking one GL (Salary) as an example from a closed month and noted the following:
1) Total amount booked as per HR lets say $100,000.
2) The same amount was allocated to Production Cost Centers (i.e. all 100,000$ got allocated to production cost centers. Noted from this code S_ALR_87013611)
3) Again the same amount is getting as the balance of G/Ledger Account when I am extracting the Trial Balance of that period.
Isn't there should be nil balance after the close of the period, as the same has been allocated and charged to cost centers and ultimately has become part of the inventory cost. ?
Thanking in advance.

What command would you use to check for allocation, structural, or logical integrity problems?

Posting run request for future period; check your entry message no.AA697

Hello Guru's,
I have below error while Depreciation run in T.Code AFAB
"Posting run requested for future period; check your entry" message no.AA697
Request help
thanks in advance
Regards
Chintamani

Hello Chintamani,
Why you want to post the depreciation for future period?
Is the future fiscal year in open or is the posting period open for that? If no, please open that period with AJRW T code if you want to post the depreciation for future period but it is not recommendable.
Check the posting period once again because the given posting period belongs to future year? So please do re-chk and give correct period according to your current fiscal year.
You can get your fiscal year details and assignment of fiscal year variant to the co,code details in OB29 and OB37 t codes respectfully.
Check the OSS Note: 1150235 - Preventing depreciation posting run for future
I hope it helps else revert us with your query.
Thanks & Regards,

CS Bridge when opening file shows " Some Application Components are missing from Application Directory- Reinstall". Uninstalled with uninstaller, reinstalled from disc. Message continues only in Bridge not in PS. Please help.

What version of Bridge and Photoshop and what platform? Mac or Windows? I can point you to a downloadable installer.
If the cdrom was damaged, it may be the problem.
You would uninstall and use the CC/CS Cleaner to remove any remnants before reinstalling.

Get kicked out of fullscreen for "disc mount" messages

Whether I am on safari, watching a movie, on itunes I get booted from full screen for these randon disc mounted messages. Is there any way to stop this?

1. Close all inactive apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two and tap the minus sign to close app.
2. Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo

Cannot get new messages to download automatically and auto reply with out of office message have to manually check for new messages to get it to do this

I am using Mozilla Thunderbird 31.3.0. I know how to create a message filter to set up an auto reply message, but cannot get Mozilla to automatically download new message and auto reply with the message in the filter unless I manually check for new messages, that is the only way to make it work. I have looked online and can't seem to find an answer to this particular issue. According to anything that I have found, I have the correct boxes checked in server settings: check for new messages at startup, automatically check for new messages, check for new messages every x amount of minutes. It's one thing to have to leave my computer on and Thunderbird open to make this work, but to have to manually check for new messages to get the auto response to work defeats the whole purpose of having an auto reply, as I use them for vacations, holidays, etc. I have wondered if there are any security settings that are causing this issue, but if so, I don't know what changes to make to them. Thanks in advance for any help. This is driving me crazy.

I do find it a bit odd that Thunderbird is not getting mail on schedule, perhaps you have an add-on or anti virus program that prevents that.
Holding shift while you start Thunderbird will start with add-ons disabled to check if mail come automatically.
Airmail is right though, use Verizons auto responder. This link might help with that http://www.verizon.com/support/residential/internet/highspeed/account+tools/email+tools/questionsone/85621.htm#
You say that not having such a setting in Thunderbird is something that needs fixing. This idea comes on the whole because Outlook has such an option. what most people are not aware of it only works with Exchange server. There is no "vacation response" in server mail specifications so every server implements it differently.
Just as all cars have a radiator, you can not take any radiator and just put it in, they are subtly different even though they perform the same purpose. Same goes for the various vacation responders, They perform the same purpose but they differ between email server software brands.
Thunderbird leaves it to the server end to expose the functionality, as they are really the only ones who understand what they did. Outlook exposes the option and mostly greys it out.

Mail constantly checking thousands of messages

For the past several weeks each time I open mail and all throughout the day Mail says it is checking thousands of messages (see attached).
I've read about this happening to others in various other forums, but not a fix. Any thoughts on why it is happening and how to stop it?

Anyone have any thoughts on this? It is still happening.

Hello, I have a problem with my iphone 4 battery, it looses 20% over the night with wifi on and without receiving any phone call or notification. It also uses 1 or 2% each time I check my iphone even if it is just to check up my messages. Is it normal?

Yes this is fairly normal. When you have wifi on the phone, it drains the battery life of the device.
Here is an article that has some tips that you can follow so you can modify the settings on your device to extend it's battery life to the fullest.

Dear somnath
For information, in returns scenario, special stock indicator E will not support. The logic behind this is that while taking back the goods into plant, you should not assign those stocks to original sale order. Either you have to post the stock for Quality or to some new storage location.
thanks

PSE 8 Setup hangs (80% complete) with checking system profile message

Hello
I have a Elements 8 installation problem (Setup hang with checking system profile message). I'm running Mac OS 10.6.1 on a MacBook Pro (Processor Speed: 3.06 GHz, Memory: 4 GB) purchased mid 2009. I have contacted Adobe support and tried all of their suggestions (open case #181253338). I did reinstall OS x 6.1, ran CS$ clean script, ran cache clean tool, and many reboots. I noticed in the discussions that the install of OS X 6 has, at times, corrupted some files creating install problems. I am at a loss and would enjoy any suggestions on what to try next.

Hi,
Attached are the logs from \library\logs\Adobe\Installers
I cleared out the logs, ran PSE Setup until it hung then did Force Quit on
Setup and attached the logs.
Thanks for your attention,
Gary

Hi,
Can you please send in the log files which can be obtained from the below
location:

There must be log files for the PSE 8 installer. Delete them once and then
try to install PSE 8 again, if you are not able to then attach the newly
created log files in the forum.
