Mac mid 2010.
Some weeks ago my mac started to shut down randomly. Either i was browsing the internet or using photoshop. When i starts up again by itself it says, "Cpu caller 0, 1, 2 and sometimes 3. I have tried to reinstall OS X, but with no luck. I got this error some minutes ago,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You have got a Mid 2010 15-inch MacBook Pro, and the kernel panic shows that the NVIDIA GPU is damaged. This is a common problem in these Macs, and Apple repairs them for free if they were purchased less than two years ago.
A solution to prevent this issue is to get gfxCardStatus and set it to use the integrated graphic card, but you will have problems with applications like Adobe Photoshop. Anyway, you should take the computer to an Apple Store to get it repaired

System uptime in nanoseconds: 507642361Press the Power button and hold it down until the computer turns off. Restart. Do you still get the same result? If so, then try booting into Safe Mode, then restart normally. A safe mode startup takes considerably longer than a normal one, so don't panic. You will also see a progress bar at the beginning.

Hi,
any help would be great. Was watching a video on you tube when safari crashed (spinning rainbow). I couldn't force quit so i forced the computer to shut down by pressing the power button. I tried to reboot and now on the grey screen with apple logo i now get the below error come up:
panic(CPU 2 caller 0xffffff80111cdf34): "process 1 exc of /Sabin/launchd failed....... And it keeps going.
DOes anyone know what this is or how rectify it.. I've tried booting in safe mode and it keeps repeating this long message on the apple logo screen.
ThanksHello weaves56,
Performing a Safe Boot is where I would have started as well if I were getting this panic message at the gray loading screen. I would recommend the other troubleshooting steps in the following article to help you isolate and resolve the issue here:
Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
Just start at the top, and work your way down to the bottom as needed.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

I am totally worried I am going ot lose all my data after trying to install update on MacAir. Cannot do anything error message saying panic ....."Unablet o find driver for this platform."
Hi Guys
No good news I'm afraid. I have been through ALL the system caches and files that were updated at the time of said issue. Reset - rebuild and even gone back to my TimeMachine copy from earlier this AM. Nothing! Can only assume it is something deeper in the /usr or var or private folders.....
I have cloned the system and core files (/usr, /private) etc etc to an external HD and it still recreates the fault. I am afraid to say I have no more time at the minute to look at so have put my machine back to 2 hours prior via my TimeCapsule.
I the absense of anyone else or, indeed, Apple fixing in the next 12 hours, will get back onto it from the cloned copy I have kept and see if I can find the offending file/files...
Sorry I don't have an immedaite solution. -

How can I stop a task sequence if a custom HTA preflight check fails?
In our currently deployment method, we launch an HTA program before initiating the OSD process. This is only when run from the RAP menu, not via PXE. When a user initiates OSD through that menu, they get a message prompting them to close Outlook, and
a countdown of 5 mins, then OSD starts. They also have the ability to click on an 'OK' button to proceed on their own.
I've created a new script which checks WMI if Outlook and/or OCS are open, and if the machine is running on battery, spit out a "Failed" response and stop the HTA. I've also added a "recheck" button to re-do the check, and an 'OK
button if people jsut want to continue.
I'm curious if there is a way to prevent the task sequence from continuing if any of those conditions arent met. Currently it just pops up and says "Failed, Cannot conitue", but if they close the window, the task sequence thinks the program
has run, and the OSD migration starts. I'd like to be able and get the script to cancel the OSD process if a check fails.
Has anyone had success with this, using WINXP? I'd use the MS pre-flight check but it's only for WIN7.Interesting. Thanks for the response. Is there anybody out there that can assist with VBS part of the solution?
Here's the code I'm working with. Currently the battery piece isnt working as it should but I can figure that our, eventually. I'd like to get Jason's proposed solution in the code. If this isn't the right place, I'll take this somewhere
else.

MacBook Pro "13 2010 several problems with functionality.
I've had my computer for about a year now and I've been having many problems since about 3 months after I upgraded to Mavericks. The machine would completely freeze, glitch, make crackling sounds that would persist until I forcefully shut the machine down by holding the power button for several seconds. This is one of the many problems I have with it. When I am typing a paper, or I'm watching a video, the machine's display will change to a solid color at random. After this, I reboot the machine and it gives me cpu caller 0 panic errors. It also will turn itself off and beep several times until I hold the power button down. I've done research and know that these are kernel panics, but I have no idea what causes this. I took it in to the genius bar at my local Apple Store, the guy named Tucker ran the diagnostics on my machine and he told me that the tests came back negative for issues and he then went to check the logs and saw that I had several kernel panic errors. He began to tell me that the 0 in the panics meant that they were software related and insisted that they wipe the cache to see if would help, and then if that didn't work then they offered to wipe it completely and reinstall Mavericks. They did so, and not even a day later the machine began to do the same things again with the solid screen colors, beeping, cpu caller 0's, and the crackling sound and screen rainbows. Even after updating to Yosemite, the problems still persist.
Can anyone please help me? I don't know what more I can do.Here is the most up to date panic report.

My powerbook g4 12" 1.33Ghz has a kernel panic!
jnl: open: journal checksum is bad
jnl: open: jhdr start looks bad
hfs: late jnl init: Failed to open/create the journal
nfs_boot: networking is not initialized
panic(cpu caller ...): nfsbootinit failed with 6
I get this sequence when I start on safe mode.
The laptop won't even start, it goes directly to the kernel panic every time.
Can someone advice on what to do to fix this??Kernel panics are generally caused by hardware issues, like faulty RAM.

Duplicate sessions with dbms_session.reset_package
Hi
In our production instance so many sessions are running with the following package, can anyone please tell this is for what? and why its running such long time, it is showing as ACTIVE status however the last cpu call is 1 month before.
dbms_session.reset_package
Can anyone please guide me why there is many duplications in this sessions.
Venkatdbms_session.reset_package is used to reset package states, you will see this call if you are using a stateless application. What is the query you use to see the statuses of these sessions?

Two public classes in one source file
Can anyone please explain what is the exact reason why the java source file name should be same as the only allowed public class name in the source file. Answer only if you know the correct answer. No gusses please. I read the other postings on this topic. None of the answers were correct.
One reason is that some RISC processor architectures
(like those Sun uses mostly) have hierarchical memory
architectures. This hierarchy is divided into global
modules and local (global-accessible) submodules. The
advantage of this is that the processor needs lesser
memory access "points" (handles), as the modules
delegate CPU calls to the submodules.
The java compiler can utilize this and increase
performance by loading the entire source files into
the memory and assign them a CPU handle (the module
ID). It'll be later used for linking, e.g. The public
class in a file will be loaded as a module and gets
the handle, all other non-public classes in that file
will be submodules.
If there is no public class, a generic module will be
used, so that's no problem. But if there are multiple
public classes, you'd end up with several modules and
just one handle to assign, thus having ambiguity. The
CPU won't be able to address the correct module.
This all only applies to RISC CPUs, but for obviuos
cross-platform compatibility reasons it was added to
the standard - it doesn't hurt the other
architectures, but helps those with hierarchical
memory management.Thanks, but the rooster explanation makes more sense to me.
Now could someone please express it a la Majinda? -
Help in using listagg function for more than 8000 char.
Hi Friends,
Need you urgent help in using listagg function for more than 8000 char.
I did the below sample SQL and in "e_orig" and "d_orig" for upto 4000 char it is working fine but I have to use it for more than 8000 char. and it is giving error,
I checked the listagg function is having limitation of 4000 char.
I tried but I am unable to achive this. Can someone provide me a sample example to achive this
select d.dname,d.loc,e.hiredate
,listagg(e.ename,',' ) within group (order by e.deptno) over (partition by e.deptno) as e_orig
,listagg(e.ename, ',') within group (order by e.sal) over (partition by e.deptno) as d_orig
from emp e, dept d
where e.deptno=d.deptno;[ This is my first post, I gone through the guideline for posting a post , and try to go according to that ( I have not pasted here create table and insert as I have used basic table emp, dept for example), please let me know if still I should give this, I will take care from my next post ]
Thanks in advanceInteresting, I didn't know you could do that, but...

You could write some PL/SQL code that does it all for you, but that would involve loops and would be slow.Well, objects are written in PL/SQL aren't they? And presumably there'll be implicit looping too? So it's not at all obvious that this method will be faster than doing the joining in PL/SQL in memory. The only way to find out is to benchmark them - so I have done that.
I noticed that OP's ref cursor actually only ever retrieves a single record for a bound department number, so I decided the best thing would be to test using a procedure that passes an output string back. I selected all (109) employees and put spaces in to ensure above 4000 characters. I also noticed that as he is using PL/SQL he probably can use a VARCHAR2 type, but just not ListAgg in the query, so I wrote short procedures as follows:
SimpleAggChr - bulk collect and array processing, VARCHAR2 output
ClobAggPrc - the custom aggregation method, CLOB output
SimpleAggClob - bulk collect and array processing, CLOB output
I then wrote a driving script that calls them in the order above and times each call (I like benchmarking so I have my own timing object to make it easy). I then print the lengths for checking, and my object writes the timings to my output table. Running a few times I got varying results, but generally it looks like there isn't a lot to choose between them for performance.
Here's the procedure code:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE char100_list_type AS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(100)
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SimpleAggChr (x_out OUT VARCHAR2) IS
l_enames char100_list_type;
BEGIN
SELECT first_name || ' ' || last_name
BULK COLLECT INTO l_enames
FROM employees
ORDER BY salary;
FOR i IN 1..l_enames.COUNT LOOP
x_out := x_out || l_enames(i) || ',';
END LOOP;
END SimpleAggChr;
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SimpleAggClob (x_out OUT CLOB) IS
l_enames char100_list_type;

Volume name of File path / getAbsolutePath, this is driving me insane
Hello,
i spent another several hours on this issue i'm having and i think i'm going nuts :=)
so heres the problem:
System: Mac OS, two partitions "Mac" and "DATA"
i have a file "file1.ogg" on the "main" partition (where Mac OS x resides) in the directory tecxx/Music/file1.ogg
i have a file "file2.ogg" on my NTFS data partition, in the subfolder /DJMUSIC/file2.ogg
so far, so good.
when i process these 2 files in my application with a File object and the method "getAbsolutePath()" i get:
1) /Users/tecx/Music/file1.ogg
2) /Volumes/DATA/DJMUSIC/file2.ogg
note that path 1 does not contain any volume name at all, while path 2 contains not just the volume name, but "/Volumes/" in front of the path.
allright, now here comes the problem. i have another application which uses these 2 files (a dj software). it spits out the filenames of these two tracks in an xml file with these path names:
1) /Mac/Users/tecxx/Music/file1.ogg
2) /Data/DJMUSIC/file2.ogg
Note that this application adds the Volume name to both paths, but NOT /Volumes/.
what i need to do now is match the filenames against each other. when i process the xml file of the dj app, i extract the filepath, and need to find it in my internal database of my application. but how do i do that, if java returns such strange names, one time without any volume-identifier at all, and the other time with a volume-identifier AND "/Volumes" as a prefx ?
seriously, this is bugging me for over a week now and i spent the entire day trying to fix this (manually adding "/Volumes/" to the paths, trying different combinations of getAbsolutePath, getCanonicalPath, toURL.toExternalForm; etc,etc), but isn't there an easy solution to get the volume name AND path name of a file somehow?
in short, i'd like to have a function always return something like this:
// returns /Mac/somedirectory/somename.ext
// or /Data/otherdirectory/someothername.ext
String getFullPathName(File f)
return f.getVolumeName() + f.getAbsolutePath();
}but how do i do the first part (getVolumeName)?
please help or i will kill myself (just kidding :)
cheers,
robert

What program is generating the XML file? What operating system is the third-party software running on?
I only ask because in my opinion, you should just be working with the absolute pathname, and clearly the third-party app is not doing that.
>
traktor dj studio, latest version. it runs either on windows or mac os x. in my case, i run it on windows, but many of my app users run it on mac os x.
>
What is the purpose of this application? Is it a script that you're only trying to use on your computer, with your current configuration? Are you trying to distribute it?
>
my app has the purpose of managing the song database for traktor dj studio (if you want to take a look.. here's the webpage: http://rrs.at/trakker/ )
yes, i'm distributing it.
>
However, if this is just a script that you want to hack up for yourself, just do some string manipulation on your absolute paths:
String file = myFile.getAbsolutePath();
if ( file.startsWith("/Volumes/") {
//replace "/Volumes" with empty string
} else {
//prefix "/Mac"
}so, this is where i've come to myself. the first part - adding "/volumes/" works fine. but the second part will fail - as i don't know the volume name of the boot partitions of my users. it is not necessarily "/Mac" - thats only true on my own machine :)
do have a nice idea for me how to solve that?
i thought about creating a "new File" object for the path i'm reading from the xml, and then iterating my entire "database" of files, creating another "new File" object for each one, and comparing them with "equals". that might work, but that would mean, that for every path in the xml file (up to 2000 or more) i would have to compare to every path in my database (again, up to 2000 or maybe many more). i don't even want to calculate how many cpu calls this will generate... the hashtable lookup would just be way faster, if i could get the paths right.
anyway, thanks for all the replies yet, you're really helpful. i'm aware of the filepath differences between windows and mac, and thanks again for your thorough explanations, but as i can't change the behaviour of this third party app i'm stuck with a solution here (and my mac os experience is near zero, but it is starting to get better ;=) -
Several Kernel Panics - Retina Mac Book Pro
First off before wed I had never had a kernal panic.Some back story (Dunno if it could have effected it). I ran out of power of tues just before a long car journey and thus I had to forced shutdown the computer and then put it in its case and went home. When I got back for the first night their was no issues (I charged it to 100% , Surfed the web for a good 3 hrs and rebooted 2 times) so I thought nothing of it. However when i got up the next morning I had a Kernal Panic (Figure 1.) I was out the room for this one (From my POV i thought i hadnt pressed the button hard enough ) this reoccured later that day ( Which I once agin missed ! (it must be noted that 3 or so reboots had no issues). The next day on one of my about 5 boots I saw the Kernal panic (as this was the first time I had seen it I thought i would let it play as the other boots had no issues).But Yesterday it paniced again on about one of 6 boots and today it paniced once out of 3 times.
All of them seem to be related to the CPU Caller (but the number changes.). I have a 3 year warrenty on this laptop and can get it to the apple store the only prob is I need my laptop for work and I'v already had the screen out due to the image retention bug.
I will just post my first panic:

Corel Draw 11 not working in Mountain Lion
Dear All,
Please help me.
I was using OSX lion version and working with corel draw 11 and upgraded into mountain lion and my corel draw 11 error : " You Can't open the application " coreldraw 11 because power pc applications are no longer supported.
Pleas help meKurt Lang wrote:
Another possibility is to attempt to install Snow Leopard client into a VM such as Parallels.
Here is a recent post I made for a similar problem:
TO: The OP
Hello! Given your lack of knowledge of Macs, I will try to keep this as simple as possible for you.
Macs ran from 1996 through 2006 on a Central Processing Unit (CPU) called the PowerPC. Windows software ran on the Intel CPU platform. Apple made the decision to switch its complete inventory of Macs to Intel in 2006, but did not want to financially penalize its existing base of users who had a substantial financial investment in their existing PowerPC software.
So Apple licensed a third party technology, which they called Rosetta and installed it in OS X (at that time Tiger, then Leopard, then optionally Snow Leopard), which transparently and almost magically emulated the PowerPC CPU instructions on the Intel CPU. Rosetta worked so well that most Mac users had no idea what it was, or what it was doing for many years after 2006.
The problem is that Apple's license to continue to develop, install and use Rosetta for OS X expired with the release of Lion and now Mountain Lion. Hence, older PowerPC applications will no longer run natively on Lion or Mountain Lion.
The best solution, if it is available, is an upgrade for your PowerPC software that has been rewritten to work on the Intel CPU. If this upgrade is available, there is generally a financial cost to purchase it and many such upgrades are very costly, especially cumulatively. Presumably, Corel was never rewritten to work on the Intel CPU.
Since it appears that you have purchased a new Mac, it must boot Mountain Lion, so another alternative, the so-called "dual-boot" approach, is not available to you.
That leaves using what is called virtualization on your Mac to be able to run this software.
One solution is to run Windows on your Mac (either in what is called Bootcamp, or in virtualization through the use of a third party program offered by Parallels or VMWare Fusion). Is there a Windows version of Corel that you would be happy and satisfied to run? You would have to purchase Windows and presumably the Windows version of Corel as well.
Another solution is to run Mac OS X Snow Leopard in virtualization on your Mac. This is the version of OS X that just preceeded Lion and Mountain Lion and is the last one that can have Rosetta installed into it.
Parallels and VMWare Fusion only support the installation of a version of Snow Leopard called Snow Leopard Server. While it is easy to install and is supported, it originally sold by Apple for $499+. While Apple no longer sells it, it is available on eBay and I have seen it selling recently for $51 - $99+. Parallels and VMWare Fusion each sell for about $79 retail and shopping on the internet can yield some discounts. You only need one or the other, not the both of Parallels or VMWare.
There is also a free virtualization program offered by Oracle, called VirtualBox. I have no experience with this program and I do not know if Snow Leopard or its Server version can be installed on it.
A more complicated approach is the installation of the normal Snow Leopard into Parallels. Apple still sells Snow Leopard for $19.99, but you would have to follow the installation instructions I have offered online. This may be too challenging for you to undertake, but the instructions are located here:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1365439
You can also download a 14 day free trial of Parallels here:
http://trial.parallels.com/index.php?lang=en&terr=us
It will look something like this on your iMac (and the Snow Leopard screen can be enlarged to encompass the complete screen; it is minimized here to show that Lion is running in the background):

Limiting user activity using Oracle Profiles
I am hoping to reduce the impact of a certain group of users on system performance. I can allocate a separate Oracle profile to them but when I set limits, what happens?
Composite Limits - I'll leave alone, too much math required!
Sessions/User - I can't limit that, they may feasibly and reasonably have several sessions
CPU/Session - Ok, it's not a % of the CPU available but CPU seconds/100. What happens when that number is reached - is the sessions killed or what?
CPU/Call - See above
Logical Reads/Session - What happens when this limit is reached? Does the session die?
Logical Reads/Call - See above
Idle Time - Set to 300
Connect Time - I do not wish to restrict this
Private SGA - I am not sure about this (I don't even know if we are using multi-threaded server architecture!)
So it seems to me, that none of these will meet my needs and consumer resource groups would be the correct thing... but can anyone please confirm?
ThanksI've used CPU_per_call and logical_reads_per_call for our dynamic search. If user happens to enter such criteria that he cannot get at least a row back within certain limits he gets back certain oracle error and on the screen he gets something like "your query used too much resources, enter better criteria" :)
The overall impact of such queries was limited because of totla rows limit for search typically 100. So at most users could use 100 * almost resource limit per one search.
If your users can issue whatever statements they like then this is not usable because for example for aggregate queries logical_reads_per_call will be reached quickly and user won't get back result of quite normal statement.
So probably you have to use resource groups indeed.
