Error message on MXF Log & Transfer

Haven't had this one before. I have another post running asking for assistance in converting MXF P2 card files to MOV without using FCP. I thought I should also post for help on the original problem.
I take in a lot of video shot on P2 cards for editing. I received files recently shot on the Panasonic HPX300. Started up FCP 7.0.3 (I won't upgrade to the balky newer version) and started the Log & Transfer as I have done countless times without an issue.
There is over 500GB of material here. MOST of it came in and then once put in the queue was converted and placed in it's proper place in the bins. However, a number of files did not transfer and this is the error message on each one:
"m" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.
Checked a few things:
- The files and folders were not renamed.
- I tried the files both from the original hard drive they were downloaded onto and another external of my own I placed copies on.
- I do not have the original cards. These files were sent to me by the photog.
- Here's the poser. When FCP starts and L&T is selected, and I chose the proper drive with the folders, the files show up in the upper area before being moved into the queue. When there, I can click on a file and see the video playing properly in the preview window to the left. No problem.
But when I move that video file to the queue for transfer, the problem files will reach about a third and then the error message. So I KNOW the files are there and they are playing back, but I cannot get them to transfer.
There is no rhyme or reason as to which ones fail. They come from the same folders, same contents, yet some will transfer and others will not.
Help is greatly appreciated on this one. THank you.

I understood that this has to do with the mts_dispatchers param in the init file, but I need to run it as a shared server rather than a delicated server.
Can anyone help?

Hi,
As far as I am aware you should be able
to obtain a patch for bug 987647 from oracle.
to Stop the PMON error from appearing.
However they apparently do not see the recurring Load Indicator Message as a bug. It is simply reporting facts. The work around here is to user cron to automatically delete these messages from your log as they are harmless unless they fill your file system.
Cheers,

Help on printing error messages to a log file

Hi, may I know whether is there any way to print the error messages to a log file? Thanks for your help!

noobboy,
Please refrain from crossposting all of your questions into multiple forums. You were asked to stop this the last time you did this as well. Please be more considerate in future.

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:

I'm seeing the same thing, and I can't even find where OS X stores calendars on disk anymore...

Hi,
#h1:35:respawn:/etc/init.d/init.cssd run >/dev/null 2>&1 </dev/null
by commenting above line in initttab file would stop messaging, is this would have any adverse affect on the database. As its a production server, so i am really taking time to resolve it. Your suggestions are welcome. If there is no harm in commenting the above line then i would go forward to comment that line.
Thanks

ISA550 After upgrade 1.2.17 many error messages in the log

Hi,
After upgrade> 1.2.17 many error messages in the log
Hello,
after upgrading from 1.2.15> 1.2.17 have infinitely many errors in the log:
Err - System: sdsd: msgq_open: Error: mq_open () failed on msg queue / sdsd, errno = 2
Err - System: sdsd: open_control_msgq: Failed to open sdsd control message queue, errno = 2 (No such file or directory)
These errors occur repeatedly (300 times per minute). So I went back to the FW 1.2.15.
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks and regards
Claus

Error Message in ACS Logs

I'm using ACS V4.2 to authenticate wireless users using EAP-TLS. I get the following error message in my logs for some users. Anyone have any idea what it means?
AUTH 02/16/2009 11:10:16 I 2310 2008 0x277 External DB [NTAuthenDLL.dll]: Insufficient space for all of user [email protected] certificates
AUTH 02/16/2009 11:10:16 I 2355 2008 0x277 External DB [NTAuthenDLL.dll]: User '[email protected]' was found [ADS]

This isn't supposed to be an error message, but rather an informational message.
Do you see any Failed authentication attempts when this message showed
up?

How to display custom error message in Job log for batch processing

Hi All,
I am rexecuting one R/3 report in batch mode and i want to display all the custom error i have handled in job log when its executed from SM36,SM37. The custom error are like 'Delovery/Shipmet doe not exits' or others which we can display in online mode like message e100(ZFI) or any other way and accordingly we can handle the program control like come out of the program ro leave to transaction'Zxxx' or anything. But i want my program to be executed completely and accumulate all the error in job log of batch processing.
Can anyone tell me how can i do so...
Thanks,
Amrita

Message i100(ZFI).
I was hoping to see this message in the log. But i cant see. Can you help me pleae...

I keep getting an error message when I log onto Firefox and I can't figure out how to fix it, can you help?

Every time I log onto Firefox I get the following message:
"Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features."
I would like to fix whatever is causing this error message to appear, but I haven't found my, "application's profile directory" so that I can check for "read/write restrictions". My hard drive is 640GB with 554GB free space remaining.
I am running Windows 7 - 64 and am using Avast Internet Security 2013.

The Reset feature adds a folder on your desktop named Old Firefox Data. I recommend hanging onto that for a few weeks in case you discover something essential that the Reset feature left behind.
This article has a list of what is migrated and what is not during a Reset, in case you're curious: [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]].

Error Message on iMessage log in

I tried to sign back in and I get a message saying "An error occurred during activation. Try again." and I go to use iMessage and it is logged out so I try and get the same error message. I have been trying for the past three days constantly trying a plethora of tricks; however, I absolutely will not backup, erase, and restore my whole device and I'm also running iOS7 and will not upgrade to iOS8 ever so please don't suggest that. I even made a new apple ID and tried to sign into iMessage through a new email and I got a small feeling of joy that lasted four seconds because I clicked on the "Next" button after choosing my email and it loads only to return to the log in page in the settings back to trying to sign in but only receiving those dumb error messages. There are other devices on this same ID that I'm trying to sign into and they are working perfectly fine. If anyone could please please PLEASE help me in my not-so-fruitful endeavors to regain iMessage back on my original apple ID!! And also please nobody post that Troubleshooting page for iMessage, that bs does not apply to me and none of it has a working solution.

Error message when trying to transfer/sync video from itunes to ipod

I have never had this problem before, but I just purchased a couple music videos from itunes and then was trying to manually transfer/sync them to my ipod and then I receive the error message "Attempting to copy to the disk failed. The disk could not be read from or written to"
I can transfer/sync music just fine still, and I have transferred music videos in the past. And I checked the info tab on the music videos and they are "protected content" but I have been able to transfer other protected content videos from itunes before.
I have tried restarting itunes and the ipod, putting it in disk mode and nothing seems to work. I would appreciate someone's help, THANK YOU!

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? It may be of some help: "Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod

Error messages in Console Log of Apple System Profiler

Today, I manually executed some CRON scripts from the Terminal window as part of a regular maintenance cycle. Before doing so, I ran the Apple System Profiler (OS 10.2.8), clicked on the Logs tab, and checked the Console Log. It had three days of error messages and other info (more on this later), but my intent was just to check the last entries in the log before running the CRON scripts, so that I could detect any additional errors logged as a result of the CRON scripts.
Having checked the log, I quit the Profiler and all other applications. Then I opened the Terminal window and entered:
sudo periodic monthly
I was prompted for my adminstrator password, and it then executed the script. It took just seconds to execute. Following this, I also executed
sudo periodic weekly
sudo periodic daily
The weekly CRON took about 2 minutes to finish, and the daily only a few seconds. I ran Apple System Profiler again and checked the console log and found this additional error message (not present prior to running the scripts):
Feb 15 13:43:10 Drake-Bradleys-Computer sendmail[865]: NOQUEUE:
SYSERR(root): /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 93: fileclass: cannot open '/
etc/mail/local-host-names': Group writable directory
(I have inserted hard returns to break the single-line error message into three lines to avoid requiring readers to use the horizontal scroll bar.)
Can anyone tell me what this error means, and what, if anything, I should do about it?
Following all of this, I next repaired my permissions with Disk Utility (and yes, after dragging iTunes 6.0.2 to the desktop). I then ran the profiler, checked the log, and encountered these two additional error messages:
file not in an order that can be processed (local relocation entries out
of place): ./Library/Frameworks/StuffIt.framework/Versions/A/StuffIt
file not in an order that can be processed (local relocation entries out
of place): ./Library/Frameworks/StuffIt.framework/Versions/A/StuffIt
(Again, hard returns are inserted.)
The errors are identical. They presumably were generated by my running disk permissions, as other applications were shut down. It appears the error refers to the Suffit application.
Any ideas what causes these errors?
Finally, a last question. (And thanks for being patient with such a long post.) The console log contains a large number of error messages for each day. This occurs even on days when I have had no apps hang, or any other system problems (power failures, etc.) that I was aware of. Many of the errors seem to involve windows manangement. The most common one is:
Feb 14 17:11:18 Drake-Bradleys-Computer /System/Library/
CoreServices/SystemUIServer.app/Contents/MacOS/SystemUIServer:
kCGErrorIllegalArgument : CGSGetWindowGeometry: Invalid window
But other examples are:
Feb 14 17:42:21 Drake-Bradleys-Computer WindowServer[194]:
Cannot merge groups (yet) for wid 1877, otherwid 1881
Feb 15 10:34:37 Drake-Bradleys-Computer WindowServer[194]:
Reserved range exhausted. (0xbbf45000 to 0xbc271000 goes out of
bounds)
Feb 15 10:35:03 Drake-Bradleys-Computer WindowServer[194]:
CGXRemoveTrackingArea : Invalid tracking area
Is it fairly common for the console log to be filled with dozens of errors like this on a given day even though the iMac seems to be functioning normally?
Thanks for any advice,
Drake Bradley
P.S. I have a Casio digital camera and an HP printer hooked up to the iMac, and very recently, an Iomega HDD. (The latter was not connected for the tests reported above.)

Hi Drake,
Yes, it is common, and I wouldn't worry about it.
These "errors" are not about anything wrong. My guess is that it's a developer jargon to indicate that something didn't happen, only because there is no possibility of it happening given your specific settings/system options.
See for example the statements "System woke from sleep" or "System going to sleep" in "error_log"...
We don't know to what extend these "errors" belong to so many unmodified files that used to do something in UNIX 15 years ago, but are now completely useless, harmless and so small they can't affect Mac OS X performance in any way?
Enjoy your Mac!
