ECC / Parity errors but 'only' when running qmaster / Compressor ?!!

I have a Mac Pro that came with 4GB of (Apple) Ram. I recently installed 4 addiitonal (to fill both risers to 8GB total), of branded, supposedly apple-certified Ram from one of the major vendors we all have come to love and trust.
Anyway, all seems fine - but now I am running QMASTER/Compressor which in fact wires (or at least pages) so much ram as to make good use of my 8: I have only 80MB free- but hey that's good, the memory is being used.
Here's the odd thing, when doing compressor / qmaster tasks (this is both the cluster server and a service node) I now get ECC Parity errors:
- Of my 8 chips, 3 have trown ECC Parity errors (all corrected), ranging from 1 on one chip to now 35 on another. This is in a 24h period
- THis is on the APPLE ORIGINAL RAM - none of the 'new' chips have any errors ?!!!
- Errors show up in 'about system' as well as the console log- but I ran EXTENDED Hardware test twice - and both times the memory (whole system) comes up clean!
- ECC errors don't show up - as far as I can tell, if I don't 'extremely' tax the system - i.e. running email, Safari, iTunes and, maybe WoW keep it 'clean'! but also leave between 3-6GB memory 'free'
- The errors occur on 2 seperate risers
So, here's my dilemman - I can replicate this everytime i use compressor/qmaster. However, I never (yet) had a related crash or issues.
It started with 'just' one chip, now it's 3 - again, all the original apple ram.
My memory is installed correctly (i.e. both apple pairs together and both OWC together).
I would LOVE to get some suggestions. Logic would say this is related to the new memory BUT I also never ran a compressor/qmaster renderfarm before now. I already opened a case with Apple and they are sending me one new chip (I opened at the time only one chip was having the errors).
So - normal? Low enough at high volume I shouldn't worry? Routine with compressor and qmaster Or time to panic?
THANKS!

This is very interesting. We, too, recently experienced a hard RAM Parity Panic/Crash on a Qmaster/Compressor encoder node. About two weeks earlier, we experienced a RAM Parity Panic/Crash on a system that has nothing to do with Qmaster.
Both machines are dual G5 Xserves with factory-installed RAM. The encoder had six 512MB sticks while the non-encoder server had 2 1MB sticks.
The encoder died, but when rebooted kept working by ignoring the bad RAM and working off only 2GB of the good RAM (must be in pairs).
Apple replaced both sticks under warranty.
As for Qmaster/Compressor causing the errors, I have no insight. If that were the case, I assume we'd see this on most if not all our encoders and cluster controllers. And that hasn't happened.
I'd say, you got bad RAM and it needs to be fixed.
The panic.log should give you insight into which dimm slot threw the error.
Good luck!

CS4 js error on file save -- but only when run via droplet

I have a js script that I've been using fine in PS CS. I've now upgraded to CS4 and trying to get it working. After a couple of minor tweaks, the script works fine when invoked directly from within CS4 (in an action step). But when I create a droplet from that action, the same script gives an error when it comes to saving the image to a jpeg file.
The relevant code is here:
jpgSaveOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions();
jpgSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = false;
jpgSaveOptions.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE;
jpgSaveOptions.quality = 12;
jpgSaveOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE;
var jpgFile = new File(outputFolderName + "/" + fullFileName + ".jpg");
alert("Saving as " + outputFolderName + "/" + fullFileName + ".jpg");
exists = jpgFile.open("r");
alert("Opened");
docRef.saveAs(jpgFile, jpgSaveOptions, false, Extension.LOWERCASE);
alert("Saved");
When invoked via the droplet, it gets as far as displaying "Opened", then it conks out with error:
"EvalError: General Photoshop error occurred. This functionality may not be available in this version of Photoshop. - Could not save as "" because the file could not be found."
Thing is, I'm not trying to save as "" -- the filename is properly populated with a proper filename, and indeed this script works fine when invoked directly and not through a droplet.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike

docRef is defined quite a while back:
// create the new document (without EXIF) to work on, with same size, resolution etc as original.
var docRef = app.documents.add(x, y, r, originalDocName + " copy", m, DocumentFill.TRANSPARENT);
but I do lots of things with docRef in the meantime that don't cause any error... like:
docRef.bitsPerChannel = b
// turn off colour management in the new document
docRef.colorProfileType = ColorProfile.NONE;
// paste in the original image
docRef.paste();
// Assign original colour profile now
docRef.colorProfileName = originalColourProfile;
and loads more stuff.

Im not a pro, so alot of that in jibberish to me, but i did try encoding it with a lower bit rate (around 10,000 i think) and it successfully played via QT. what is the difference between a 79,000 bitrate and a 10,000 bitrate??
Basically, the Profile and Level define the combination of settings/limitations that adhere to a particular "standard." As previously mentioned, Main Profile Level 3.1 is very common for Apple software and hardware products which appear to come close to the settings for your "working" file. This combination for instance would allow data rates up to 14 Mbps (14,000 Kbps) with 1280x720 @ 30.0 fps while a Main Profile Level 3.2 file would allow a data rates up to 20 Mbps (20,000 Kbps) with 1280x1024 @ 42.2 fps. From this and the fact that your stats did not include the frame rate and/or whether or not the file was encoded anamorphically, I "guestimated" that you might have a "standards" issue in the Level 3.1 to Level 3.2 range for any Baseline, Extended, Main, or High Profile H.264 encode. Your results for the re-encoded file seem to confirm that the data rate was the problem here—i.e., that the video data rate at 80 Mbps was beyond the range of the Profile and Level designation for the file while 10 Mbps was not. Your ability to encode using non-standard settings is one of the reasons that Apple has moved more and more toward the use of device "presets" which prevent novice users from making such relatively simple mistakes when creating files in any of the QT based apps. Hope this helps you to understand the problem better.

2010 EWS 2.0 C# Windows 7: "Data is Corrupt" error, but only when forwarding messages from a certain user

I have an application that is basically a mailing list manager. New messages are sent to an Exchange mailbox, from outside of our organization. Periodically the application runs, scans the mailbox for new messages, and forwards them to the appropriate users.
For the most part this works fine, but messages that come from a specific outside user cause a "Data is Corrupt" message.
I have tried re-creating the messages that cause problems, both using Outlook and using a Gmail account. In both instances, the message went through the system with no problems. But this vendor is doing something that is causing me grief.
I've included some sample code below. What I would really like are tips for debugging these kinds of problems. It seems to me that "Data is Corrupt" is sort of a generic error.
private void ForwardMessage(EmailMessage msg, List<String> recipients, String replyTo)
     ResponseMessage stepOne;
     EmailMessage stepTwo;
     Folder drafts;
     ConversationId cid;
* This is a little screwy.
* EmailMessage.CreateForward() is really useful, because it preserves
* attachments. But it mangles the message body and subject, so I have reset those.
* And it doesn't support setting the Reply To, so I have to do this
* in two steps: create the forward, save to Drafts, then get the
* message in the Drafts forward, and set the Reply To.
     cid = msg.ConversationId;
     stepOne = msg.CreateForward();
   stepOne.Body = msg.Body;
   stepOne.Subject = msg.Subject;
   foreach (String s in recipients)
        stepOne.BccRecipients.Add(s);
     stepOne.Save(WellKnownFolderName.Drafts);
      * There is a chance, though small, that another process
      * could create a draft message in response to the message
      * I'm in the process of forwarding. But it is unlikely,
      * so I'm going to live with this. Extended Properties would
      * be the safer way to do this, but I couldn't get them
      * to make the trip.
     stepTwo = null;
     drafts = Folder.Bind(msg.Service, WellKnownFolderName.Drafts);
   foreach (EmailMessage em in drafts.FindItems(new ItemView(100)))
        if (em.ConversationId.Equals(cid))
   stepTwo = em;
   if (stepTwo != null)
stepTwo.ReplyTo.Add(replyTo);
          // This next line is where the "Data is Corrupt" error keeps happening
stepTwo.SendAndSaveCopy();

The place to start with Debugging would be to enable tracing and look at requests and responses your getting from the server to see if there is additional information and to also know which operation is failing see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dd633676(v=exchg.80).aspx
You might also want to do some testing with the EWSEditor
http://ewseditor.codeplex.com/
There also should be an EWSLog on the CAS server where the requests are being sent so this is worth looking at as well eg \Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\Logging\Ews
As a workaround with the failed messages you might want to trying getting the MimeContent and forwarding that instead of using the Forward operation
Cheers
Glen

Same here. It died when I installed SciTE, but didn't come to life when I tried removing it. Reinstallation didn't work either. If I remember correctly, there was a problem with one of the (Murrina) themes, but Leafpad didn't report it, some other program did (console output). Oddly enough, everything else worked perfectly, so I didn't think it was a big deal. But it's possible it was really magic.

Error Code -61499 when Running an FPGA VI on Develpement Computer with Siulated I/O

Dear Forum
I have a problem with running my FPGA VI on the development Comupter with simulated I/O
I Created a testbench as described in
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371599D-01/lvfpgaconcepts/test_bench_tutorial/
This works fine. I can read an write the I/O Nodes
But when I insert a read/write control node (from the FPGA interface palette) into my Host-VI to directly write a value to a Control on my FPGA VI, i get the error -61499
The error happens in the VI on my Hostcomputer ad the message is:
An internal software error on LabView FPGA Module has occurred. Please contact NI technical support.
The error does not happen, if I remove the read/write control, or if I dont call it.
The error does not happen, if I compile the fpga-vi and let it run on my fpga hardware. It happens only in the simulated mode.
The error happens in the simulated mode when i use the testbench for simulating input Signals, it also happnes, when I use random Input Signals.
It seems that the error does not happen during compilation. The simulated VI runs and the error happens, only when I call the read/write control.
Can anybody help me?
I appreciate every suggestion
Thanks
David
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ok, the problem is solved, thanks to ni support who helped me:
The solution is, not to have spaces and end of lines in the names of frontpannel elements.
In simulated mode, a host-vi has problems to access frontpannel elements of the fpga-vi with the read/write node if the frontpanel elements have special characters.

My macbook shut off and wont turn back on. Im pretty sure it is charging. The LED light is on but only when the laptop is closed. Im in grad school and have lots saved. Please Help!

ronicr76,
First it would be helpful if you post the exact model, year and OS version you have.
> The LED light is on but only when the laptop is closed<
So that light is the sleep indicator and tells us that the laptop is going to sleep when you close the lid. That would be normal behavior so the machine is still working. Possibly you're experiencing a backlight failure. With the machine supposedly "on" use a flashlight to carefully examine the screen. Do you see the desktop? Yes? machine is still running and something is wrong with the backlight.
You should immediately backup your computer or at the very least pull vital files off. With the computer hooked to another Mac (The way this is done depends on the exact MacBook, E.g.FireWire 800 to FireWire 800.) Then you restart the computer and hold the "t" key down. This puts your MacBook into "target mode":
How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode
Once your files are off try an SMC reset:
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
Are you able to get the backlight back on by opening and closing the display? Yes? Broken backlight cable refer to qualified service place. Even if it doesn't come on and you can still see the desktop with a flashlight it is still probably the backlight. Could be the a backlight problem also.

Burned Image on screen, but only when using Safari

I have a burned image on my IPhone's screen, but only when I use Safari. Additionally, when I open Safari's multiple window viewer feature, the image is there as well. The home screen and every other app is unaffected. Turning off and on the phone does nothing to fix the problem.
I know removing the casing and battery is an adventure, so I am trying to avoid it if I can.
Can anyone think of a way to fix this problem?
Thanks for the help.

Troubleshoot Safari extensions ..
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

I'm receiving all notifications, but only when I open my iPad, then I get them all at once...? How do I get the notifications immediately?

I'm receiving all my notifications, but only when I open my iPad, then I get them all at once. Why am I not getting them immediatlely?

Is this a wifi-only iPad? If so, and unless it is plugged in, when you sleep the device, it shuts off the wifi radio to save battery power. When you wake up the device, the wifi radio is re-activated, it connects and gets your notifications. That is perfectly normal and simply a function of the design of the device. The wifi will not shut off if the device is plugged into a power outlet (no need to conserve power then).
A 3G iPad would allow for push notifications, if the 3G connection was left on all the time.
P.S. if you do have a 3G iPad and have 3G enabled all the time, then I do not know why it is not working.
