Expresscard/34 Esta Adapters Crash OS X -- long-standing issue.

Hi everyone,
I have a MacBook Pro (17-inch Early 2008) that has exhibited this issue from the onset of using an Expresscard/34 esata adapter: Upon inserting the Esata adapter, I will get a Kernel Panic (the one whree I get multiple languages saying I must hold down the power button to shut down).
I thought this was a driver issue, but this has been present from 1.5 Leopard all the way to the current 10.6.4, and has always been present. I have tried different brands / makes of expresscard/34 adapters, 1-port, 2-port, different chipsets -- but the problem always persists. And, of course, I have tried disk repair, etc to make sure the mac is running correctly.
The problem overall, however, is not fully consistent: upon plugging in the esata adapter, a number of times it will boot up the drives just fine, whereas others it will crash immediately. If the drives boot up successfully, it will never crash afterwards; it seems to be an initialization / startup issue with esata adapter cards (again, this isn't limited to one chipset, or brand, or model). Likewise, I have used different esata hubs, with different chipsets...and this doesn't seem to be the root of the problem, either; at this point the issue may indeed point to the Mac itself.
At this point, I'm not sure what to try. I've gone through years worth of OS X updates, patiently sent crash reports upon all the crashes, with descriptions -- but with no solution ever offered or integrated. My AppleCare warranty expires March 17, 2011...so if I need to do some returning, etc -- I feel like it should be done pretty soon. This Macbook Pro in particular has had the logic board and monitor already re-conditioned due to manufacturer defects (faulty NVIDIA chip, and the monitor issue). Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!

Hi John
I was just reading on this; I would like to propose some info, info you might already have read:
http://macperformanceguide.com/Reviews-eSATA-MBPCore_i7-Conclusions.html
+For example, inserting the card incorrectly still can cause a kernel panic (crash)+

Windows 7 Boot fails on Mac Pro 1,1 (long-standing issue)

i am having a long-standing problem on my first generation (1,1) mac pro where i have an installation of Windows 7 "under" boot camp. this installation involved some kind of minor mac hack that involved writing something to ISO and/or a CD Rom and then getting the installation onto my hard drive.
right now i am not sure if i should get rid of my tech guy, buy the new mac pro as soon as it comes out, boot into safe mode, re-install windows 7 or all of the above. help please?
lately if i try and Option Boot into this volume i get a Windows closed down incorrectly error and then i hit start windows normally it will crash out and restart the computer in mac OS (i.e. in another option boot volume).
at one point the windows 7 boot was not working at all and we discovered that i had to TURN OFF my G-Tech 3 TB backup drive in order to get the Mac to boot into Windows.
i am wondering if i should focus my energies by trying to boot into Safe Mode (and if so what to do if/when i get there) but also whether this appears to be an issue with the Mac Pro, the G-Tech external, Windows or some combination of all plus some user error thrown in for good measure.
i absolutely need to have a volume of windows 7 running and this is a long-standing issue at this point.
i am also running a Carbon Copy Cloner of this volume (the one that has all my OS's) on a daily basis to another internal hard drive (which i assume does not matter but i figure to mention it).
any ideas on what to do??
i am planning at some point to buy the next release of the Mac Pro so i can upgrade the desktop to Mountain Lion to match the laptop but it seems like i should be able to get this working on my end now...
TIA
P.S. I /am/ also noticing that my User Photo periodically drops off and i just see two blank icons (one for me and one for Guest) when i have to login. i set it to a photo and then a week or two or a boot or two later it will disappear.

hi all,
a report back after hacking my way through siberia over here:
turns out there are bad sectors on my drive that some third party program discovered.
the disk is on it's way back to WD with a replacement in the works.
fortunately my internal cloned backup got me back up to speed with mac os but unfortunately i was not yet setup to clone my windows boot camp backup so i will be installing windows 7 boot camp one more time on this drive...

Long standing issue with Caller Display

Hello, I hope someone may be able to help.
We have had no caller display service since just before Christmas, some six or so weeks ago now.
I must have called 151 nearly 10 times, received several calls back, one visit from Openreach, made three BT complaints, had my reported fault closed several times as the "end user says it is working" (I presume that is me? I certainly havent told anyone at BT it is working!), and must have been on the phone trying to solve this issue for more than 5 or 6 hours in total. What a waste of my time.
Essentially, my elderly and disabled parents receive lots of marketing, sales, unwanted type phonecalls etc, and with caller display previously it has helped them decide if they want to pick up the phone or not. They want to answer calls to friends and family etc, but not to these "nuisance" calls.
Everything worked fine til just before Christmas, when we found out Caller Display was now going to be a chargeable service. I dont mind paying for something if it works, and we "opted in".
However, we still have difficulties with caller display.
17070 works fine.
*#234# tells me callers ID will be displayed.
Several openreach engineers checked exchange and uploaded new software etc.
The problem still exists some 6 or more weeks on!
This cannot continue. I am just going round in circles all the time, speaking with various people on the phone at BT.
What can I do next? Citizens Advice?, Ombudsmen?, letter to BT Chairman?
We are not happy bunnies here, but if anyone could help......I would be exceptionally grateful!!
Thank you.

Still no solution, nearly two months now!
Not good. Can I get a refund please on the caller ID service as I believe I have been paying £1.75/month since January 4th?
I still want to problem sorted by the way......
Any update RobbieMac?
Thanks.
Did you agree a new contract because in your earlier post you say

if you did then you will not have been paying for caller ID

Bug In Transform Panel (Long-Standing Issue)

I wonder when Adobe will ever bother to fix this... the units in the doc setup and ruler are not honored in the Transform Palette when the document is first opened.
The easiest workaround is to right-click on the ruler and re-select the unit you want (even if it's already checked) but this one has been around -- and widely reported -- since at least AI10, on both platforms... I've submitted bug reports for every version, but it's still here. So fracking annoying...
</rant>

Or if you prefer one man's horror story is another man's amusement.
To be a bit more serious I do not think this is exactly a bug as to being a feature request to have a way of the user to define more clearly and deliberately at startup how they want things to work.
Like such here's my protoype:
I believe what you see is actually expected behavior just because one changes the rulers temporarily doesn't mean they want to change the document set up they may simply want to see how things compare or use the rues for a simply visual conversion of measures. If you want to change the document set up you would use the document set up to do so.
As you easily tell fro my prototype it is actually they way things currently work and true you may thought this was not expected I believeiyt is expected behavior.
Of curse I or both of us could be wrong.
Let's wait for Skullmaker to chime in I do not think he will becauseI think he probably likes it the way it is already. But you can never tell.

After host crash - cluster no longer working correctly in SCVMM 2012

Hi
one of our nodes in our cluster crashed. It came back. All the VMs on this host were running on other hosts so failover worked fine BUT for 2 VMs. One of those 2 VMs is - according to VMM - running on the crashed host. The other VM is - according to VMM
- running on another host node which did not fail.
I have a lot of job errors saying that VMM library object virtuals disk is missing of those two VMs. So I looked into the FailoverManager. There I was able to see that the VMs are running on totaly different host nodes then what VMM tells me. In addition
those VMs work just fine. I connected to both of them over Hpyer-V and they are just fine and the application also work without a problem. Please not those VMs are not shown twice or missing in VMM.
Live Migration to the Host node that crashed is no longer possible. But when looking into the status on VMM - it tells me that everything is fine. From Hpyer-V Manager I am able to do live migration to this host. But no longer from VMM console.
I rebooted the host node with no change. I refreshed the host nodes (all) in FailoverManager and in SCVMM, I refreshed the cluster... nothing. So I wanted to remove the cluster from SCVMM and re-add it. Doesn't work... It started with the first host and
after that my cluster was somewhat broken (I thought that removing cluster - NOT "uncluster" - wouldn't have an effect on the cluster itself - well I was wrong). Anyway I repaired the cluster it is back into VMM but I still have the issues with the VMs. There
are only warning on the VMM server that the library object (vhd) is missing but on the cluster nodes itself there are no errors.
Any ideas what I could do. I have no clue what to do about the VM which is supposed to be on this host but in FailoverManager it is on a totally different server. Any ideas?

Hi,
version is SCVMM 2012 RC - yes there were errors with live migration but unfortunately I receive so many warning messages now (about missing library objects for vhd files) that the errors from tuesday are already gone. I guess they might be in database ...
The log files you asked for are from 2011 when the cluster was created - no entries after that.
No the cluster is not in Maintenance or Pause mode - i checked that. Remove and re-join the cluster with VMM 2012 RC was already tried. As described above: that failed - the first cluster node was removed and after that the job failed in VMM. I found the
error message quite ironic because it said that "cluster node 1" is no longer reachable. Nooo really... it just had been removed a second before the "remove cluster" job failed. Unfortunately this job played havoc with my cluster. It took me 4 hours to bring
it back online (mostly VMs).
The good thing is, my cluster is somewhat working again - meaning after I repaired it and was able to re-add the missing cluster node back into VMM live migration now works both from Hyper-V and from SCVMM. The VERY bad part is that now several more VMs
are - according to VMM - runing on "cluster node 1" while the Failover Manager says they are runing on "cluster node 2 or 3...". In addition I get many more warning messages. This error is the one I am trying to eleminate. As said I haven't found anything
which helped me narrow done a solution. Everything I tried so far didn't have any response or - like the cluster - it made things quite bad (temporary). I checked the Event logs on the cluster nodes and VMM itself. Currently there are no error messages there.
Warning messages in VMM:
Warning (23234) VM Refresher encountered an error while creating or updating <vm name> with id XXXXX. VMM cannot find VirutalHardDisk object XXX. Ensure the library object is valid, and then try the operation again.
Warning (10647) The virtual network adapter for the virtual machine <vm name> is connected to a virtual network switch <swtich name> that is not valid.
Does anyone know how to change the time interval of the "VM Refresher"? I get those warning messages for each VM every 2 min. As there are several VMs affected by now I have several thousend messages each day...

After our computer crashed,itunes no longer recoginizes our ipods.How can I fix this problem?

After our computer crashed,itunes no longer recoginizes our ipods.How can I fix this problem?

Okay, update on my previous message:
I have replaced my iTunes-folder with a back-up version of the old one. Luckily this turned my podcasts back to normal and replaced the new 'library' with the old one.
This also solved the problem of having to erase your iPod or iPhone, which is no longer necessary.
So my solution is:
1. back-up your iTunes folder (located at 'User/Music/iTunes/')
2. remove iTunes 9.0.3 completely (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224)
3. drag the iTunes folder back to the Music folder
4. Re-install iTunes 9.0.3.
It worked for me.

Help please? Static audio, Crashes, ActionScript Errors and more issues with Flash Player 16

So, this is the first time I'm posting in here and I'm sorry if I mess up or smth.
Anyway, this is what happened:
- Firefox tells me Flash Player 15 is vulnerable
- I update to the newest version
- After the update I run into several things that are highly annoying.
First of all:
- I can't watch any livestreams anymore, neither on picarto nor on twitch. The video keeps loading and buffering, then works for a second or two and then goes back to buffering OR alternatively the video would stop whilst the sound continues or vice versa. (My wifi connection is super fast and I never had any problems until the update)
- On youtube videos only load for a second or two, then the audio vanishes and the video crashes. (Never had that issue before, EVER)
- The audio is incredibly wonky, aka, depending on the bass or sounds I hear static noises and weird sounds. (This only happens on videos that require flash, the sound is fine when playing CDs )
- When watching videos and pausing it or going back a few seconds to rewatch something, the audio suddenly is completely gone.
- Flash player crashes A LOT
EDIT: Another Issue appeared:
- When watchign videos using the Blip player (used by some websites) I get ActionScript errors which then result in crashes
I'm using:
Packard Bell EasyNoteLS
Windows 7 Home Premium
Firefox 34.0.5
Adobe/Shockwave Flash 16.0.0.235
What I've tried to do:
- revert back to an older version of Flash (but it kept telling me to update so I gave up on it)
- Try to enable "hardware accelaration" BUT, when right clicking on the Flash Symbol on Adobe's site FF freezes and tells me that Flash player crashed
- Found out that I already have hardware accelaration enabled and it still keeps crashing
- I deleted all of its local cache
- downloaded and installed the debug version
But none of it helped in the slightest.
I really hope someone can help me fix this OR that adobe soon comes with a patch/update that fixes all these things ;_____;
Thanks for reading and helping!

I tend to submit crash reports most of the times lately but yeah--
Also, someting that really bugs me are these Actionscript errors because I can't upload a crash report for those--
(they are more rare now but still happen occasionally)
EDIT: Added photo of one of the Actionscript Errors when trying to play videos using the blip-player

Long standing bug in ARD

There is a LONG STANDING bug in ARD dating back to at least v2.0, maybe earlier.
While controlling a remote Mac, for seemingly no reason, the display stops refreshing. The connection has not been lost just refresh is stopped. A single refresh workaround is to click the color adjustment bar, no need to move it, just click it and you get one refresh. This happens to me way too frequently! It occurs on PPC as well as Intel Macs, on local LANs and over the Internet through VPNs.
Sometimes you can break out of this by closing the connection and connecting again but it usually requires the remote machine to restart the ARD service. Doing this with ARD itself usually leaves the remote machine unreachable (ARD service stopped.) I have taken to using a near by Windows machine then ssh'ing into the Mac to manually restart the service. This works but the refresh problem re-occurs after an undetermined amount of time.
There seems to be no clues as to why this happens. There is never any particular task I am performing, no specific app I am always running, etc, etc.
Excuse me if this has already been brought up and if someone knows a fix or can point me to a KB article I would be most appreciative!
Thanks,
Josh
G3, G4, G5, Intel iMac, you name... Mac OS X (10.4.6) Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I, too have experienced this problem. However, much more so since I upgraded to ARD 3. This can happen, as you say, on a wide variety of clients: eMacs, G5 Dual, iMac G5, Powerbooks. Most annoying. I have found that if I use TB2 to control the client, I will find, in some cases, the SystemUIServer process is hung. By Force Quitting this process and Re-Starting the client, I am able to get ARD to run again.
This seems a little more severe than your problem, but I have had the same experience as you describe as well--the SystemUIServer is not hung in these cases. I can generally find nothing wrong on the client to account for the behavior.
Nor have I found a satisfactory answer to the problem on this forum. Would love it someone could offer a clue!

[svn] 3105: SDK-15764, SDK-15765 -- Two long standing Ant task bugs.

Revision: 3105
Author: [email protected]
Date: 2008-09-04 15:05:39 -0700 (Thu, 04 Sep 2008)
Log Message:
SDK-15764, SDK-15765 -- Two long standing Ant task bugs.
- Ant Tasks fail when setting fork="true" and there are spaces in the path name
- Setting fork="true" in Ant Tasks leads to warning
The issue with spaces is that forked tasks construct a stringified commandline, since Java doesn't allow you to pass real String[] to a new process. When not forking, we can pass the original String[], which makes spaces irrelevent. So the fix uses a Commandline.toString(String[]) which is designed to wrap arguments with spaces correctly with quotes, so the commandline tokenizes correctly.
Bugs: SDK-15764 SDK-15765
QA: This affects ant calls for _all_ FlexTasks where fork=true. It would be great if we have tests for both fork="true" and "false" where we tested paths and arguments with and without spaces -- off the top of my head, good ones to try: +flexlib=/path/with spaces/, -define=CONFIG::foo,"bar with spaces", and any other arguments you can think of. Also very important: Test passing space arguments without quotes, with single quotes, with double quotes, with a mixture (illegal), and with a mixture escaping the inner set of quotes (not sure if this should work or not, probably a stupid case to test unless quotes are allowed in paths).

Pages 3.0 crashes opening a long document

Hi there,
I am running Pages 3.0 (with all current updates) on an iMac with Os 10.5.7 and 2 Gb of RAM. I have a very long document (almost 200 pages) with pictures and tables that worked fine until yesterday.
I usually make a backup copy of the file every evening just to be sure, however...... it seems that it's not enough!!
This morning a double click on the document leads to a Pages 3.0 crash. The application launches, a dialog box indicating a progress bar appears ("Opening") and then Pages quits.
The same happens if I try to open the backup copy! I am stuck and I can't access the file!!!!!!!!!
Disk utility says the the hard disk is OK (and so are the privileges).
What can I do?? I can't even export the file in Word as it crashes before I can convert him. By the way, the same happens on another Mac: it really seems that the document is now corrupted (without doing anything special...).
The funny thing, is that Quicklook works just fine: if I hit the space bar from the Finder, I can see the content perfectly.
What is going on???
Thanks for your help!

Simple:
The Index.xml file is no longer readable by Pages but as you saved a preview in the document this Preview.pdf file is readable.
(1) rename your doc from xx.pages to xx.pages.zip then double click.
You will get a package entitled "xx.pages"
control click it to see its contents.
In the folder Conent:Quickloock, you will get the Preview.pdf file.
(2) it would be interesting to send the document to my mail box so I would be able to add it to the set of corrupted documents which I already send to Apple Bugs Hunters to help them idntify the wrongdoers. Click my blue name to get my address.
(3) duplicating the last saved copy is good practice but it's not a true safe protocol.
If the last saved one is odd (like yours) the duplicate will be odd too.
This is why I wrote an Autosave tool which saves every ten minutes but which also keeps chronological date stamped zipped copies.
With it, if the copy saved at time X is bad, we may hope that the one saved at X-10 is OK.

After Photoshop CC crash, can no longer access extensions menu?

Hello! I recently signed up for/installed the CC Suite and have been using it for a few days on my Windows 7 box. I had a bad PS crash this evening where when I tried to open PS back up, it seemed to think I was a new user and wanted me to sign in/reauthorize my machine. (I also had to use the cleaner/reinstall the incredibly glitchy CC Desktop client.) On top of that, I can no longer access the extensions menu in Photoshop, which is kind of a problem for me. :\ (It's greyed out.) Any ideas? Thanks!!

Delete tthe OPM.db completely and sign in again, perhaps that makes CCApp recognise your credentials properly:

HT203167 how can i get my library back if computer crashed and no longer have iPod

I have lost my library due to a computer crash. I no longer have iPod. Please help me get my apps and music back to mew com

As long as the apps (and the same applies to ibooks) are still available in the store and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free - and, depending on what country that you are in, you might also be able to re-download music and TV show purchases (and if you are in the US then some/all films) : re-downloading past purchases.

Reader crashes upon displaying long tooltip?

I am completely new to creating forms in Acrobat Pro! I have some fairly lengthy too tips for certain fields, and my colleagues are mentioning that Adobe Reader is crashing for them when they hover over the fields with these long tooltips. I don't seem to have this problem when I try it with Reader on my computer. They all have the most updated version. Any thoughts on what needs to change to prevent the crashing? Thanks!

Here it is: https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/9e842e5e-e7fc-4991-9cca-83e8e52d47fb
The tooltips at the bottom of pages 6 through 15 (where it says CCSS....) are the ones that are causing Reader to crash for my colleagues. Thanks so much for any thoughts.
