"deny file-write-create"-errors in log system.log

Hi,
since I upgraded Lion I got tons of these messages in my logs:

So this is just Preview adding this every 30 seconds to the logs. Similar errors occur, for example, when Spotlight indexes movies.
Does anyone have an idea what is causing this and how to fix it?
Thanks,
Stefan

Mine looks like this:
drwx------  251 stefan  staff     8534 27 Jul 15:29 ByHost
And the first few lines look like this:
drwx------+ 763 stefan  staff    25942 27 Jul 15:41 .
0: group:everyone deny delete
drwx------@  60 stefan  staff     2040 25 Jul 09:27 ..
0: group:everyone deny delete
But as I said in my initial post, such errors do not only appear for the ByHost folder. It happens for various preferences, for example, when Spotlight indexes a M4V movie and tries to create/access a codec property file. Or here are some other examples when Safari is running:

  • ICloud Notes app is logging lots of errors deny file-write-create externalrecordsworkfiles et al

    I am getting intermittent error in the log, when using Notes in iCloud storage. When the errors come, they come in large batches.
    Like this, many of them (dozens in one note-writing session)

    It is clear to me Notes is having problems. I've seen this when using Notes since upgrading to 10.8, but also after upgrade to 10.8.2 recently (MBPro 2011 13", SRAM disk).  I go typing away in toes but I see the Console icone bouncing in the dock while I'm working. 
    I'll run disk-verify-fix but I'm not seeing a lot of relevant entries, just this so far:

    When you say using the JDK you mean just using a simple text editor and command line to compile?
    I'm not too bothered about decompilation as I doubt anyone would go though the effort to decompile this particular program. As it currently stands I'm the only one known in my college class to try my hand at Java anyway. Anyone else handing a java project in would be very suspicious.
    How big would the program be if the JVM was included? Is it an intricate process to combine the two?
    I am aware that any code can be decompiled but e.g. VB programs can only be decompiled into assembly... atleast I have yet to see a proper VB decompiler in action.
    The app.path Java equivelant I need so the files needed by the program which should be in the same directory can be found with ease.
    What compiler did JBuilder come with? It's own or did they simply include Sun's?
    Whats the general opinion of V J++? is it pretty much Java or has M$ screwed it over and turned it into their own?
    When an argument is passed to a method in Java is it referenced in memory or is a copy created? How do I pass an array to a method? and not create a copy of it? ref?
    Can applets perform read and write actions on the machine it is stored? Can I refuse connections if a client is already connected?
    Thanx

  • Preview(610) deny file-write-create issue

    I was reviewing a document in Preview (a PDF that I downloaded from the internet) and added annotations with notes and rectangles - frequently using cmd-S to save versions (I could see the older versions ising "Revert document..."  After I closed and re-opened the document (and reverted to my home time zone (I did the work on a plane) all but my first edits were gone.  In addition, I keep getting asked if I want to open a file downloaded from the Internet.  Very odd.  I went into Console and saw a series if items:

    Not sure what to do.  Have started redoing 3 hours of work saving, closing and reopening.  Still get the "Do you want to open a file downloaded from the Internet" but the recent work appears to be there.  VERY UNNERVING that so much work could be lost.
    I should also mention that my computer defaults to opening PDFs with Adobe Reader but for this one I used command-I to change the default application to Preview since it was so much better at annotating (or so I thought).
    Any insight or suggestions?  Just tried resetting permissions with Disk Utility and this time it did not ask if I wanted to open a downloaded file.

    Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
    Launch the Terminal application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. If that doesn’t work, then in the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    Drag or copy – do not type – the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    chmod -R -N ~
    If you get an error message about permissions, enter this:
    sudo !!
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
    Next, boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

  • Sandbox deny file-write-create

    I'm working on a webcam capture app (sandboxed on Mac OS X for App Store submission).
    I'm getting .GlobalPreferences plist create sandbox violation.
    The same file is being accessed again and again in multiple scenarios and hence the sandbox violation is coming many times. I'm attaching the first deny report. In all the violations, the error is coming from CoreFoundation framework itself.
    The preference is being accessed from /Users/labuser/Library/Preferences/ByHost/.GlobalPreferences.0AE3B6CF-AFFB-5E6A- 9D1B-0980457923BD.plist, but in a sandbox app, it should have been /Users/labuser/Library/Containers/com.test.TestApp/Data/Library/Preferences/ByHost/.GlobalPreferences.0AE3B6CF-AFFB-5E6A-9D1B-0980457923BD.plis t
    Can anyone please help me resolve the error. Thanks for any help.

  • ICal doesn't show delegation, and generates date and time error messages in /var/log/system.log

    I have a problem with my iCal, when I use my caldav account, I can only see my own calendar on my MBA, on my co-workers MBP it works fine with both my account and his. My co-worker can't see other calendars than his own when he uses iCal on my laptop.
    We can reproduce this problem on his computer by setting Location to Automatic rather than Amsterdam, then after deleting iCal's cache files, the caldav account and setting the Location back to Amsterdam solves the problem for him.
    It does not solve the problem for me (or several other co-workers). We've been looking at this for a few weeks, and we can not find any clear pattern why certain machines have this problem and others don't.
    All machines (both affected and unaffected) are running Mac OS 10.7.2 with iCal 5.0.1
    I've spoken to Apple support over the phone (in the Netherlands), unfortunately, they couldn't help with this.
    So far we've tried numerous location and language settings, but on affected machines nothing appears to solve the delegation problem (which we assume to be connected to the error messages iCal generates)
    Starting iCal yeilds the following error messages in /var/log/system.log:

  • Sony ereader error in /var/log/system.log

    I have had a sony ereader software installed which I deleted long time ago (by pressing command-delete from applications). But still getting error in /var/log/system.log
    [0x0-0xf00f].com.sony.ebook.readerlibrarylauncher[276]: MacInterfacesChangedCallback: 1 keys changed
    I have these two items in the /Library/
    /Library//LaunchAgents/com.sony.ReaderDesktop.RunReaderDesktop.plist
    /Library//LaunchAgents/com.sony.ReaderLibrary.RunReaderLibrary.plist
    Not sure if I need to delete them.
    The sony ereader software doesn't start during system startup. I have deleted two unticked entry from sysetm preferences - users and groups - login items.
    Thanks.

    I don't use my eReader very often and so a while back I figured out how to do this and today I had forgotten how!! So here's to help you and I and every other dummy who keeps forgetting!
        Sony eReader with Mac:
        How to put ebooks on reader when Error appears
    1. First you buy your ebook(s) and download it to your Reader Library.
    2. It goes to Status then into your Library.
    3. Now go to Finder your book should be in the recent/Today section in epub form.
    4. Open another Finder by going to File and New Finder Window.
    5. In the new Window open Reader under devices.
    6. Continue opening database/media/books.
    7. Finally take the new ebook from the first Window and put it in the second Window.
    8. DONE! And ENJOY!!

  • Kernel: Sandbox: fmfd deny file-read-metadata errors

    Hello there,
    I am befuddled by this one and have checked many forums for a solution but have yet to find one. Since upgrading to MacOS 10.10 on my Mac Mini Mid 2012, I am receiving quite a few messages on my console related to fmfd. It doesn't matter how many times I clean install. As soon as I turn on iCloud bam. They just roll in.

    Hello there,
    Thank you for posting this. After applying 10.10.1 the messages came back and I am not doing the defaults write again. My home directory is on a spare drive as well. I had no choice due to the size of my iTunes library and simply wanting to keep the home directory location consistent. As it turns out, the same thing happens to another similar directory that i've created. This one is a mobile directory and not just a moved user home directory.  I thought maybe resetting ACLs would do the trick but it does not.
    Also - I do not have nor have I ever had Find my Mac turned on for this machine. The one machine it is turned on is my laptop (3rd machine for work) and that one is not showing errors. I built all three of these in identical fashion with clean installs etc. The only difference is the laptop has a solo drive and that's it. Something is breaking. I wish I could follow where its breaking. I hate the messages.
    My other option is to make it so that all applications can use this token/user in my keychain. Is this dangerous?

  • Lots of errors in my system log causing cpu spikes.

    Not sure what is causing it, but I am getting lots of errors showing up in my system.log recently. every ten seconds this happens:

    Hi, Am facing issue when I try to run SSIS package via C# code, I have given full access to all the folder in which the package is available.

    Are you trying to run this code from job or something? Check if account executing the package has access to the path. Also check if path value passed is correct. If its a remote system path pass it in UNC format (ie //machine/...)

  • Error Message in System log

    Hi, I recently discovered this error message in my system.log
    /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari: CGContextClipToRect: invalid context
    I am using Safari version 2.0.4 on Tiger. Can anyone tell me what it means and if I need to worry about it. Thanks!

    Hi,
    It's just a debugging entry the programmers have left in the Safari/WebKit code. It looks like the webpage you are viewing is causing one of the rendering functions used to draw parts of the page to behave in an unexpected way.
    Nothing to worry about as such.

There's been not impact on the system performance when FireWire davices(iPod 3G & 30Gb HD via FW enclosure) are connected and being used. Any ideas were these messages are coming from.

    I'm having a hard time analyzing where this problem come from.
    Immediately after upgrading to 10.4.11, I thought the messages had disappeared and my hard drive was finally working correctly. I mounted it correctly and transferred about 7GB with no problem at all.
    However, some time later I connected the hard drive again and got a hard crash (finder, the applications freeze with no recovery => hard reboot). This was while the console was outputting the "Firewire GUID XXX is invalid!" message.
    Hardware Test returns no error. Here is a sample log I got when connecting the drive, a while back:

    Any ideas ? Shall I return my laptop to a repair center ?
