EV DELETE failed for file watcher

Yesterday, I downloaded an Epson printer driver so I could install it. There was something wrong with the dmg file (yes, I know, epson software is crap) and it wouldn't mount. I soon gave up the effort. But, ever since the attempt, every time my computer is scheduled to sleep, it shuts down instead with the following messages in the console log (see below). I've repaired permissions - and quite a few were not correct. And I've deleted the bad dmg. Any ideas?

Hi Terry,
I get the same message (com.apple.notifyd[12] EV_DELETE failed for file watcher) and so far have come up empty on solutions for my machine (found one which worked for some people, but not me). Wondering if you've made any progress?

Weird system log error: EV_DELETE failed for file watcher

I just did a clean install of Snow Leopard (erased my hard disk before the installation using Disk Utility). I've run all the updates. I was experiencing some weird delay between the appearance of the blue screen and the appearance of the login window. The delay went away, but when I shutdown or restart, my system log has errors like this:

Does anyone know what these mean? These do turn up on a Google search, but under systems prior to Snow Leopard! Remember that this is a completely clean system with no third-party software installed yet.

I get a series of eight EV_DELETE errors when ejecting my external FW800 drive. But not when mounting.
The drive also has a USB interface which I rarely use since the FW is much faster. I just tried mounting it using USB. Same behavior - no errors on the mount, but 8 EV_DELETE errors when I eject the drive.
The must be something sketchy with the file structure of the external drive (which is a SuperDuper clone of my internal hard drive).

Any thoughts on cause or solution?

If you search these discussion groups for "EV_DELETE" (without the quotes), you'll see several threads about it. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a lot of reliable advice about how to prevent it. One thread elsewhere suggested that it can be caused by a hardware problem.
I've read a lot of them, tried some things, but no luck yet. I'm doubting that it's a hardware issue, based on my previous post, but who knows.
I tried this
this error comes from the file_watcher module from notifyd when some permissions are buggy (unknown)
So check that / and the first level files and folder under / are not unknown. (use 'ls -l / 'command in terminal to check them)
If they are with bad owner and/or group 'unknown' (or some of them),
use chown root:wheel my_file to correct them (where myfile is a file with weird owner/group)
then execute the following in a Terminal window:
sudo chown root:admin /
sudo kextcache -system-prelinked-kernel
sudo kextcache -system-caches
and while "ls -l /" did find some things, the sudo commands did nothing.
I also ran across this
One thing, if you do man kextcache, it says instead of running kextcache you should "run touch(1) on the /System/Library/Extensions/ directory of the installation target volume" which I did instead of running kextcache.
but I have no idea what this person is trying to say (I'm way out of my league running Terminal commands. All I do is copy and paste what I consider to be promising commands from seemingly knowledgeable and helpful people; sure hoping to run across one or more of them here! ).

Cannot publish Flash Updates Verification of file signature failed for file SCUP 2011, SCCM 2012 R2 and WSUS all on same Windows Server 2012 machine

I am attempting to distribute Adobe Flash updates using SCUP 2011, SCCM 2012 R2, WSUS ver4 and Windows Server 2012. Everything installs without error. I have acquired a certificate for SCUP signing from the internal Enterprise CA. I have
verified the signing certificate has a 1024 bit key. I have imported the certificate into the server's Trusted Publishers and Trusted Root CA stores for the computer. When I attempt to publish a Flash update with Full content I receive the following
error:
2015-02-13 23:00:48.724 UTC Error Scup2011.21 Publisher.PublishPackage PublishPackage(): Operation Failed with Error: Verification of file signature failed for file:

I have redone the certificates three times with no luck. I can import metadata, but any attempt to download content results in the verification error.
TIA

Hi Joyce,
This is embarrassing, I used that very post as my guide when deploying my certificate templates, but failed to change the bit length to 2048. Thank you for being my second set of eyes.
I changed my certificate key bit length to 2048, deleted the old cert from all certificate stores, acquired the a new signing cert, verified the key length was 2048, exported the new cert to pfx and cer files, imported into my Trusted publishers
and Trusted Root Authorities stores, reconfigured SCUP to use the new pfx file, rebooted the server and attempted to re-publish the updates with the following results:
2015-02-16 13:35:44.006 UTC Error Scup2011.4 Publisher.PublishPackage PublishPackage(): Operation Failed with Error: Verification of file signature failed for file:

Is there a chance this content was already created and signed with the old cert, so installing the new cert has no effect? In ConfigMgr software updates I see 4 Flash updates, all marked Metadata Only (because they were originally published as "Automatic."
No Flash updates in the ConfigMgr console are marked as downloaded. I can't find any documentation on how the process of using SCUP for downloading content for an update marked Metadata Only actually works.
Comments and suggestions welcome.

HOW TO DELETE FILES or FOLDERS or Assets from Adobe Creative Cloud Brouser/Web Portal By: Kai Buskirk rev:130626
Adobe now burried deleting or trashing unwanted iteams files or folders in the Archive section of your creative cloud brouser/web portal.
Note!! - No longeer is there a standard TrashCan icon or simple Delete button... its burried in the archive sector: but why i ask?
An archive is an accumulation of historical records, or the physical place they are located.[1] Archives contain primary source documents that have accumulated over the course of an individual or organization's lifetime, and are kept to show the function of that person or organization. Professional archivists and historians generally understand archives to be records that have been naturally and necessarily generated as a product of regular legal, commercial, administrative or social activities.
In general, archives consist of records that have been selected for permanent or long-term preservation on grounds of their enduring cultural, historical, or evidentiary value. Archival records are normally unpublished and almost always unique, unlike books or magazines for which many identical copies exist. This means that archives (the places) are quite distinct from libraries with regard to their functions and organization, although archival collections can often be found within library buildings
A person who works in archives is called an archivist. The study and practice of organizing, preserving, and providing access to information and materials in archives is called archival science. The physical place of storage is sometimes referred to as an archive repository.
To delete files folders or individual assests in the current incarnation of adobe creative cloud brouser/web portal rev:130626
1 - Check mark the box on left and select files or folders you would like Deleted/Trashed and move them to the ARCHIVE folder location inside your adobe creative cloud brouser/web portal....Then navigate to the ARCHIVE SECTION
2 - Once the files or folders you have check marked are moved to the ARCHIVE folder location you can select them for Permanant Deletion (Trash)
ps: you can also restore them......if you so choose....
3 - in case you missed this step after selecting/checking the files or folders in the ARCHIVE folder there is a small Triangle Selector drop down that will reviel the Permanently Delete option.... clicking that is the point of no return i think..... so do not be misled my the use of the term ARCHIVE.... DELETING PERMANANTLY IS DELETING YO!
4 - OK DONE NOW YOU GOT IT .....
Good Luck Happy House Cleaning.....
Wamest Blessings,

Verification of signature failed for file - when locally publish big file

Hi, I try to locally publish a package that is made of a 486 MB file. And I get this error message :
Verification of signature failed for file : ...
It works if I try with a smaller file (30~40 MB). So the issue is not related to the certificate. It's just like if there was a 'Timeout' that occurs during the process of publishing. But I can't see what to do to fix this.
Any advices are welcome.

David, there's a natural filesize limit for publishing CABs of 384MB.
This
article from myITForum.com has a PowerShell script that can be used to set the value higher.
Also, SolarWinds has a
free tool (useful if PowerShell is not an option) to set this value. In addition, the utility can be run remotely. All it needs is a local API connection. It has built in help, but here's the syntax you'll need:
/action setmaxcabsize /targetwsusname

Can I delete failed save files?

My overall goal is to take my higher resolution FCPX project and export it as a web playable smaller movie. I tried export movie, but ran into the problem I'm going to ask about. Next up I'll try exporting using Compressor Settings, that'll probably achieve what I want.
So, as I went through the export movie steps, expecting to see something that would ask me about the dimensions of the movie (it never did ask), I let it go ahead and do its thing. After clicking Save I just saw the cursor spinning, so I went to bed.
This morning I found that it has filled my drive, and there were 14GBs of High Quality Media files. I had to force quit FCPX.
Now I have the original project, with a file structure of Final Cut Events/eventname/Original Media, etc, and also Final Cut Projects/New Project/Render Files/Thumbnail Media/ and High Quality Media and Peaks Data too.
Deleting All Render files for the event doesn't remove those files. Is there a built in way to delete the failed-save files, or can I safely manually delete the files? At least the 14GB of high quality ones?

I believe those folders were made during the export stage, certainly the "New Project" name is what I let it use. The Final Cut Events folders do seem to have the original media, so I'll give it a try deleting the high quality export files.
Thanks for the encouragement!

Sales order line delete fails for treetype=S line items

SBO v8.8 PL17
In a Windows Console DI application, I need to delete lines that have TreeType=S from a Sales Order.
I get an error message that the Delete Line Failed and no other details for the error.
I have no trouble deleting the line in the SBO client sales order screen.
Often, the Sales Bill of Materials (SBOM) for the item on the SO line has changed after the line was created.
Could the DI be validating the child item rows (treetype=I) for the father item against the current lines in the SBOM and blocking the deletion because they no longer match?
In any case, how can I get around it or at least find out the actual reason the the line deletion fails?

Is the error description the same when you use old-school error checking?

[SOLVED] Setting deletion age for files in /tmp

Hi, I've just migrated to Arch from (K)ubuntu. In Ubuntu, I had "TMPTIME=1" in /etc/default/rcS. This meant that files in /tmp were deleted (during boot) only if they were older than 1 days.
Is there an equivalent setting in Arch? I couldn't find a pre-existing /etc/default/rcS, nor /etc/init/mounted-tmp.conf, which runs the deletion in Ubuntu.

WonderWoofy wrote:/tmp doesn't neceessarily have to be on a tmpfs. The file /usr/lib/systemd/system/tmp.mount is what makes it default to that. But like all unit files, you can override it with your own. So if you would like to have it on the normal disk, you can do that. The tmpfiles.d config will still clean it up according to those intervals listed.
Okay, thanks. I think I'll leave it for the moment. I'll live with the default for the moment. I've already spent tens of hours fiddling with my Arch install!

I don't think that /var/tmp is really meant to be used in the same way as /tmp. I recall seeing advice to not do this...
Ah, that's a pity. It's a good idea in theory, although 30 days is probably too long for me.

Trying to use a new, larger external hard drive for my Time Machine backup. However, every time I start the backup, it gets started then fails. And, I can't delete the few files that did save on the external. Sort of a catch 22. Any ideas?

Is it a USB hard drive? USB hard drives have the problem of not giving full speed if they are hooked up on the same bus as keyboards and mice. Double check your profiler to make sure that is not a problem. If it is Firewire, make sure there aren't other firewire devices in use at the same time. I recommend not only keeping a Time Machine backup, but also a clone, and if you do use Time Machine, to make sure the Time Machine drive or partition is at least twice the size of the original drive.

"Delete Selected Track Files" Applescript script fails for iTunes 7

The Delete Selected Track Files script, which is found on the Apple site http://www.apple.com/applescript/itunes/, fails with a error message of "iTunes got an error: file track id 42130 of user playlist id 30791 of source id 40 doesn't understand the delete message." The message is the same regardless of which song(s) I try to delete. Does anyone know how to update the script or know of a workaround?

Found my mistake. I was testing the script by playing a track from a shared iTunes library across my local net. As soon as I played a track residing on the local machine itself the script worked in iTunes 8.0 as it worked before on iTunes 7.x
Apparently I'll need to code for the case of a shared track in order to correctly resolve the alias to the file track on the remote machine.
Thanks Niel!

I can get sound for files ON my laptop but have no sound when I try to watch Hulu or use other web-based programs

My MacBook Pro has sound for files housed on my laptop (ITunes for example) but if I try to watch a web-based program like Hulu or Khan Academy there is no sound. How can I fix this? I was using wireless headphones a few days ago and it all worked fine but then the sound stopped on both the headphones and the computer. The video portion works fine, I just don't have any sound. I threw away the headphones and deleted them from the Bluetooth on the Macbook Pro but still I have no sound. Any ideas?
