Diagnosing a 3rd party servcie that hangs or stops on it's own

Hi.
I'm encountering some challenges with a 3rd party service that hangs or stops on it's own (and when self-stopping, hangs.) The challenge being that neither it's logs nor the Event Viewer contain any details. It stops logging itself when it hangs or stops and
the event viewer only records that it stopped and/or started, but nothing else.
What is the current recommended method for doing *unattended* dumps on running processes? Most of the tools I am familiar with seem t be obsolete. I've bee trying to search the web, but most of what I have found is related to known issues with specific services
and is of little use.
I'm not expecting anyone to give me a long drawn out list, but if anyone could suggest a link to a web site or even a thread somewhere on these forums that describes a method it would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan

  • Many 3rd party apps that I have used before now will not open with the alert "XYZ application cannot be opened because the identity of the developer cannot be confirmed"  Why now?

    Many 3rd party apps that I have used before now will not open with the alert "XYZ application cannot be opened because the identity of the developer cannot be confirmed"  Why now since I updated Mavericks?

    The format in which a developer has to sign his application in order for it to be recognized as signed has changed. Update the applications, wherever possible.

  • I have a PVR which supports DLNA connected to my home network.  I want to access files on my MacBook from the PVR.  I understand that my MacBook doesn't support DLNA. Is there any 3rd party  software that I can install on my MacBook to provide DLNA?

    Hi,
    Can anyone help me please.
    I have a Personal Video Recorder (Humax HDR-1010S), which supports DLNA, connected to my home network via Wi-Fi. 
    I want to play music from iTunes and view photos from iPhoto from my MacBook (which is also connected to the home network) via the PVR / TV / Home Cinema sound system.  I understand that my MacBook (running OS X Mavericks) doesn't support DLNA server.
    Is there any 3rd party  software that I can install on my MacBook to provide DLNA server?
    Thanks,

    My recollection is that the iPhoto library has some fairly robust protections to prevent inadvertent or even deliberate changes being made that might have unwanted consequences. I'll take alook at my setup and let you know if I can see anything that might help you. Even if you get Serviio to "see" the iPhoto library, it almost ceratinly won't show the album structure and names. What I did is to export each iPhoto album to a standard folder with the appropriate folder name. These I keep on an external backup disc and Serviio can see these without trouble.

  • I have a MacBook Pro laptop purchased in June 2011, and the superdrive no longer works.  Rather than have it replaced, I'll buy a 3rd party superdrive that plugs into the USB port.  Does it need it's own power source, or will the USB port suffice?

    I have a MacBook Pro laptop purchased in June 2011, and the superdrive no longer works.  Rather than have it replaced, I'll buy a 3rd party superdrive that plugs into the USB port.  Does the external superdrive need it's own power source, or will the USB port provide enough power?

    The Apple external SuperDrive actually exceeds the allowed power draw. Because of this, it is only trouble-free on certain models that accommodate this excess.
    All others require an external Power source.

  • Is their a 3rd party card that will speed up rendering for FCP6?

    Is their a 3rd party card that will speed up rendering of DV footage on the timeline & for conversions also for FCP6? I am thinking about buying an 8 core.
    steve

    8 gigs, one per processor.
    But you're not going to achieve any appreciable decrease in rendering times.
    It's a topic that we see around here about one a week so you can search for RENDERING TIME or similar topics and see lots of threads.
    If you want faster rendering times, you have to use a proprietary, hardware-based codec. This is NOT a good idea unless you are prepared to abandon the hardware when the project wraps since it will certainly and quickly become obsolete or orphaned when the mfr goes out of business.

  • HT1338 i have about 88,000 songs in my music library, some are duplicates. Does anyone know of any Apple Product or 3rd party software that will identify and remove duplicates.

    I have about 88,000 songs in my music library, some are duplicates. Does anyone know of any Apple Product or 3rd party software that will identify and remove duplicates.

    Backup your music to an external source before doing this, just in case you delete the originals by accident.
    iTunes will show you the duplicates.  But I recommend tagging their comments or another field once selecting them to ensure you don't accidentally delete both the original and duplicate.  You can always select all of them and change all their comment tags at once.  Once you've done that, stop showing duplications, and then sort by the comment field.  This will allow you to determine whether only the duplicates were shown in the show duplicates, or the originals.  If you see any without comments, then you can go ahead and delete the duplicates.

  • Is there any 3rd party plugin that turn on native HDV editing feature?

    Hello,
    I love iMovie, but I'd really like to see native HDV editing feature. I guess Apple will never do this, so maybe there is some 3rd party plugin for iMovie that will allow to edit HDV without recompression?

    HDV is mp2-encoded material on miniDV cassette.. the 'nature' of mpeg2 doesn't allow a frame-precise editing (only GOP precision, as used in mpeg editors as Streamclip of ProjectX); if you do any editing (adding disolve, titles, effect) you have to encode/'recompress' .. - the 'AppleIntermediate Codec' iMovie uses to make such imports editable is a lossless codec.. so, what should add a 'native HDV' editing...?

  • Any 3rd party utilities that fix full screen mode for multi-monitor users?

    I am a multi-monitor user.  As multi-monitor users know, full screen mode is basically useless since if you try to go full screen on one monitor, it causes the other monitor to go blank and become unusable (at least with most programs).  Are there any 3rd party utitilities or fixes for this?
    Thanks

    Spaces, which is what this functionality stems from, was limited in that it used your entire setup and switched all of the screens over; space to space. I never used spaces because I always had multiple monitors and I was always working with multiple apps simultaneously that I wanted to be able to reference while working on the others.
    Now they call Spaces, "mission control" and changed the appearance of it, but the functionality remained the same, each workstation comprised all of your monitors, and would switch over all of them when switching to a new "Desktop".
    Fullscreen apps wrongly assumes that it can take the functionality of the afformentioned MS/Spaces and use it for one app, negating the whole idea of why someone would have multiple screens (real estate to work with other applications).
    If they stop considering multiple monitors as one Workspace, they can then make it so they are asynchronous "tablets" instead of one conjoined entity.
    So, you say people have been asking about this for 2 years, I've been asking for this for 5!
    The issue here is, the only answer is to not use it. Making Mission Control and Fullscreen apps completely ignored by people like us, where I could be using both functions to glide around my work station and three monitors, mixing and matching which apps I want to be viewed on each separate monitor, to perform one single task; together.
    It would actually reward people who wanted to utilize Thunderbolt technology and have more then one monitor.
    There is no telling why apple chose to push out something that would only support the casual user, with one display, but the only direct way to let apple know that we feel limited by the OS is to send feedback. Even though it seems that we are powerless in this situation, I hope that they do consider how to make this function better.

  • What is the 3rd party player that will open a windows media player on the MAC

    What 3rd party player provides the ability to open .wmv file on a Mac? We have QuickTime Player but it does not recognize the file.

    Thanks for responding Barney-15E. I did install the free version of Flip4Mac prior to sending my question out to the community. I still could not open the file. After I installed Flip4Mac a window opened stating QuickTime Player does not recognize the file. How do you make it go through Flip4Mac instead of QuickTime Player?

  • I want to be able to access my main computer when I'm away from home. Are there honest and trusted 3rd party applications that allow access to the home computer when I'm traveling?

    the job takes me away from home and at times I need information stored on the iMac. I would like to access the main computer and its files through a second computer, Mac Pro. Is there a service that will allow me to access my main computer when I'm traveling? For example if I'm in Brasil and need to access files found in my main computer in Canada, what reliable allows me to connect between the 2 computers?

    Yes,

  • A Permanent Fix For 3rd party apps that don't launch?

    Since Apple has removed my post suggesting this is a bug (and if you've owned iPhones from the get go, you will know that this is). I'm putting a question out to the forum in hopes that besides the already mentioned deleting/updating an app via the store, uninstalling all apps (losing all the app data) and reinstalling et al, has anyone found a way to keep this from happening ever OR a way to back up the particular file that must store authorization data that gets corrupted?

    My experience is the same as w7ox for as long or longer. I've had a couple of apps that would occasionally crash on launch, but these were fixed in updates from the developer. One thing to be aware of is that all apps share the same memory, so if one is ill-behaved it can cause others that are perfectly innocent to crash on launch. So the likely situation is that you have one errant app. When an app crashes because a problem in a different app a reboot will fix it, sometimes only until the other app is run again.
    BTW, there are huge numbers of posts pointing to problems that are called bugs by the posters (and some actually are), so it's likely your post was deleted for a different reason than the fact that reported a bug.

  • Finding a 3rd party converter that supports Video Files.

    I seem to not be able to have the right format for my 30G iPod videos I have on my computer. What's the most popular video format conververters out there, so I would be able to see my video on my ipod????????. I was able to see and hear my sample video, on my iPod.

    In dire help,

    Procdump is pretty handy for this:

    The gflags utility that comes with the Windows SDK can set up parameters for capturing specific types of data and/or executing a certain command line anytime a specific executable starts or stops.  You can use that in conjunction with other tools to
    accomplish pretty much anything you'd need to accomplish in user mode.
