Constantly have to kill and restart EM agents

Hello,
I am currently running EM GC version 10.2.0.4 on an AIX platform. I seem to be encountering frequent issues with various agents within our environment, in that I am constantly having to kill -9 the emagent process on various hosts and then having to restart the agent on these hosts afterwards. There seems to be no pattern in which hosts have to be dealt with in this manner as I am performing this process on different hosts each time the problem occurs. The agent is marked as unreachable in the GC console and then when I go to the host and perform an ./emctl status agent command, the result is that the agent is not running. When I attempt to start the agent using the ./emctl start agent command, nothing happens. I have to kill -9 the running emagent processes and restart the agent again using the ./emctl start agent command. This command is successful, however, it seems that in a week or so, I have to perform this action again on the same host or different host.
I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue after upgrading to version 10.2.0.4 of GC? These problems did not seem to appear nearly as often with version 10.2.0.3. Any assistance in troubleshooting this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott Kiskis

I also have similar issue, but i am running 10.2.0.3 GC and 10.2.0.3 agent. The agent processes keep running but get email from GC that the number of targets failed to upload. At least I see a pattern in my place: I receive a high cpu usage message for several hours, before the agent goes into this state.
emctl status agent shows it is down, but when i try to start, it fails as the emagent process is still running. I have to do kill -9 <pid> and then restart the agent. The agent works fine until I receive the high cpu usage message/email again. It seems to be operating system specific and I am trying to work with my sysadmins to figure out if anything is different in this server compared to others.

My ipod nano is not showing up on my computer or itunes when I plug it in. I have reset it and restarted computer, I have also downloaded new itunes. My other ipod shows up fine so I know its not the computer or cord.

My ipod nano 6th generation is not showing up when I plug it into the computer. I have reset it and restarted the computer, I also have downloaded latest itunes. My other ipod nano shows up so I know its not the cord or computer. It is not showing up in itunes either.

That seems to be a clear indication of an issue with your iPod and not your PC or USB cable. Have you tried resetting the Nano with it still connected to your PC?

My imac is frozen with the following notice: USB over current notice. have tried powered hub, no help. have tried unplug and restart, no help. any suggestions?

my imac is frozen with the pop up notice of "usb over current notice, a usb device is currently drawing too much power. the hub it is attached to will be deactivated". have tried unplug and restart, no help. have tried power hub, no help. my wired keyboard and mouse do not work. help.

Unplug all devices including your mouse and keyboard. Now do a
SMC RESET
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computer's power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
It is the 5 second timing that initiates the reset.
If it starts up normally plug in 1 item at a time. You may have a defective device that is drawing too much current.

Trying to update my software (iPhone and iPad) it says my iTunes software needs to be updated, but it is already is. I try this over and over again. I've already reinstalled iTunes and have shut down and restarted my Mac several times. How can I fix this?

This is what worked:
"In iTunes, I signed out of the store. I exited itunes and restarted it, logged back into the store (with my apple id), then I pulled down the iTunes menu in the menu bar and selected Check for updates.
At this point it said that iTunes 11.1 was available and I'm downloading now " Quoted from a fellow user.
It fixed my problem.

Try trashing the .plist with CharacterViewer in its name in Home/Library/Preferences. To get to Home/Library you may need to hold the option key down while you do Finder > Go.

Do as the error message states and contact Apple Support. If there is a problem
with your iTunes account, that problem must be resolved before you can download
anything.

Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
Select the most recent panic log under the heading System Diagnostic Reports on the left. If you don't see that heading, select
View ▹ Show Log List from the menu bar. Post the entire contents of the panic report — the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post shutdownStall, spin, or hang reports.

Have to stop and restart Q-Master for it to show up in Compressor 3.5.1 SL

I am having a problem with Q-Master in Snow Leopard, running compressor 3.5.1, where every time I restart, when I go into compressor, it does not show up my Q-Master cluster. Instead I must go into the control panel (which has to restart into 32 bit mode, COME ON APPLE LETS MAKE Q-MASTER 64 BIT!) and stop and restart Q-Master and then it shows up in Compressor.
Is this because the control panel has to be in 32 bit mode for it to work? Is anyone else having a similar problem?

I have the exact same thing happening!!! Funny how you haven't got a response to fix the issue. I called Apple and the guys said I needed to reformat my drive and install FCS from scratch to get rid of any files from FCS 2, only because I used some FCP utility to remove the previous version.< </div>
Sorry you got that advice from Apple. Reinstalling Apple software is rarely effective and a scorched earth approach rarely solves anything. It simply takes everything back to a default state.
I've had this same issue with Qmaster on my system and I'm still running 10.5+ so it's not a Snow Leopard issue. I solved it, at least for now, by simply deleting Qmaster only and reinstalling just Qmaster. However, I deleted and installed Qmaster to solve a problem with FCP; it was crashing immediately upon launch.
This is important: I have no way of knowing if there is a direct or causal relationship between any of these events.

I am unable to use my external CD player. I am told that the player is being used by another application, and that is not true. I have quit everything and restarted. I've unplugged the unit. I have a fairly new mac mini 10.8. What can I do?

I am unable to use my external CD player. I have a fairly new mac mini 10.8. I am told that the player is being used by another application, but it's not true. I've forced everything to quit and restarted. I've even unplugged the unit and let it rest. I've turned off and unplugged the mac too. I cannot make a CD. Why?

I misread your message. I thought it said I did not have burn support with the Samsung hardware.
When the CD goes in it says You inserted a bland CD. choose an action from the popup menu or click ignore
open finder
open itunes
open disk utility
make this action the default
eject ignore ok
However, when I am making CDs. I am in itunes. That is where my recordings areI haven't tried to do it from this vantage point.
I don't know how to make a screen shot on a mac.
I go to my playlist and click on the little gear icon at the bottom left and I leave things as they are - preferred speed - maximum. I leave it on audio CD - and then I select BURN.
When I tried this the other day, I could not get it to burn, no matter how hard I tried - everything I could think of, using a different CD, force quitting everything I was not using, restarting the computer, unplugging the CD hardware and plugging it back in after a little while, nothing worked. I got that message that said my player was being used by another application every time I tried to make the CD. This took over an hour. I don't know of another way to make a CD on the mac; I was not using another program or application. Now it seems to be working fine. I am burning another copy of something I gave away.
I wish I knew what caused this. It was a real problem Saturday morning.

Killing and restarting an application

Hi everyone,
I have an iPod application that i need to kill from within itself.
I would ideally like to restart the application once it dies, but i am pretty sure that cannot be done, but if someone has the info, please let me know.
thanks
tony

Hi Tony -
I assume you know that, in Apple's view, you're planning just about the worst UI mistake possible. The prime directive is to give the user a sense of control, and to always use standard controls the way the user expects. The only acceptable way for an app to terminate is when the user hits the Home button.
These SO articles pretty much cover the topic:
[Proper way to exit iPhone application?|http://stackoverflow.com/questions/355168/proper-way-to-exit-iphon e-application]
[force application to terminate in iPhone|http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1841824/force-application-to-terminat e-in-iphone]
Of the suggestions included at the above links, I think this might be the cleanest:
- (void)terminateMe {
UIApplication *application = [UIApplication sharedApplication];
MyAppDelegate *app_delegate = [application delegate];
[app_delegate applicationWillTerminate:application];
exit(0);
For iOS 4, set the UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend key in Info.plist (see [Screw Multitasking: How To Make Your iOS 4 Apps Exit For Real|http://maniacdev.com/2010/07/screw-multi-tasking-how-to-make-your-ios-4-ap ps-exit-for-real>.
As to restarting the app, I guess you might consider a companion, helper app. Register the URL's of both apps, then start the helper app with [openURL:|http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/UIKit/Referen ce/UIApplicationClass/Reference/Reference.html#//appleref/occ/instm/UIApplication/openURL:]. The helper app would then restart the main app.
Note all of the above is an attempt to answer your explicit question regardless of how ill advised your objective might seem. Whatever it is you're trying to accomplish, I suspect there's a much more reasonable way to do it, and would strongly advise you to look for such an alternative. If you need help with that, a new thread with a more descriptive title might be best

My iPhone will not allow me to use slide screen? i have powered down and restarted several times. still cannot acces my phone. help needed.

My iPhone will not allow me to use the slide feature. I have restarted the phone several times. any suggestions?

Try rebooting. Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPhone should restart. See if you can use it when it comes back up.
