Hi
While applying patch American English upgrade patch driver (6678700) to upgrade from 11.5.10.2 to 12.1.1
a worker failed with the following error

Patch driver 6678700 taking forever

I'm using MW to upgrade a test instance of 11.5.10.2 to R12.1.1. I've manually applied patch 7461070 (The AD 12.1.1 upgrade driver) since MW won't apply it. I'm applying the American English upgrade patch driver (patch 6678700) manually. It has been running for over 24 hours now. Has anyone else experienced this problem? It says there are 70012 jobs remaining and it's currently running WFXLoad.class innumerable times.

Patch Fails: 119907-13 Gnome 2.6.0_x86: Virtual File System Framework patch

When I try to use my Sun(TM)Update Manager, I get:
119907-13 Gnome 2.6.0_x86: Virtual File System Framework patch Failed.
Utility used to install the update failed with exit code 997. Patch is not available in the patch directory.
It is the only patch left to be installed and I tried rebooting several times with no luck. There is no 119907-13 directory or 119907-13.jar in my /var/sadm/spool either. Thanks for any hints.

Thanks.
I have the free version of Solaris for the x86/x64 platform on my workstation at home. I did register the OS when I installed it, but I do not have a support contract.
I am curious as to why this has never been an issue before with the hundreds of patches I've installed previously.
If I do not wish to purchase a support contract, there ought to be a way to get the patch out of my Sun(TM) Update Manager so that the green indicator in my
systray doesn't drive me nuts.
Thanks for your help and any further suggestions.

My win8 pc hard drive failed. After the hard drive was replaced, I copied iTunes Media backupfiles from external hard drive (Karen's Replicator backup software was used). ITunes does not recognize these back up files even though the location is the same as cloud & recently burned music that does show- help! The backup files consist of 34,000+ songs; almost all burned from my own CD collection. I do have most of the songs on an ipod classic but hesitate to try to restore from that. Can someone tell me how to get these 34,000 songs to show up in iTunes? Thanks!!

This diagram shows how a typical iTunes library ought to be set out (click on it to enlarge)
The red outline highlights the media folder and its contents, the various subfolders are only created if that kind of content is in your library. The right-hand side shows the files that should be found in the iTunes library folder; sentinel is normally hidden so may not be visible. The core of your iTunes library is the file iTunes Library.itl, you need to restore this, the other library files and the Album Artwork folder, as well as the media folder, to restore your library.

Hi,
but when i loged into application using SYSADMIN user then home page is not showing System Administration responsibilitySystem Administration is a different responsibility, and also can be accessed from the same window (Security > Responsibility > Define), make sure this one is not end-dated as well -- I believe this has nothing to do with the error. If the responsibility is valid, then run the following concurrent programs, bounce Apache and check again.
- "Sync responsibility role data into the WF table."
- "Synchronize WF LOCAL tables"
- "Workflow Directory Services User/Role Validation"
Did you try to restart the failed workers via adctrl after logging to the application?

Batch file from java class fails to copy from mapped drive

I've some problem for a bacth file which XCOPY several files from folder to folder. If the source folder is a mapped network drive and I run the batch it works.
But it fails with this error "Invalid drive specification" if I run it from within the java class. Everything is correct from the BATCH point of view as it works when I run it directly.
I use Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);where command is: "cmd /c C:\\just_for_test.bat".
The batch file is:
XCOPY /E G:\tmp\CD0005_Multi\*.* C:\Temp
RD /S /Q G:\tmp\CD0005_Multi
EXIT
where G: is the mapped drive.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I used a batch-file to copy the specified files that looked like this in the end:
net use s: \\192.168.200.7\e$ <passw> /USER:administrator
s:
COPY "S:\Temp\xxx.txt" "C:\Temp\xxx.txt"
c:
net use s: /deleteWhat happens is that i make a new mapped-connection to the harddrive
and ending it after the copying-process is finished... Simple thingie.
But, if you still want to copy the files through your program, do this:
net use s: \\192.168.200.7\e$ <passw> /USER:administrator
s:
java myProgram
c:
net use s: /delete

ITunes won't let me move files to new hard drive

Hey, all...I'm having a really major problem with my computer. I'm trying to move my iTunes library to a new hard drive. Currently, it's in a 1-terabyte Western Digital USB drive powered through the USB, and I'm trying to move it to a Seagate 1-terabyte drive. I currently have 535 gigabytes of media in my library and I have a MacBook with a 250-GB hard drive that I don't store any music on currently.
I move the library file over to the new USB hard drive, and I consolidate my library as it asks me to do. Then, when I go down to "Organize library", it prepares to copy the files to the new disk, then gives me the big red stop sign and tells me "The disk cannot be read from or written to." and that's that. The files work fine when I try to play them, so they're there, and presumably, not irretrievably damaged. They're just impossible to move.

A reply to an old problem, but I couldn't find this solution anywhere. I had the same problem when I moved my iTunes library to an external drive. As Apple recommends, I used File > Library > Organize Library > Consolidate Files to copy my music files from my overstuffed hard drive to the external drive. Copying went fine for a while, adding about two-thirds of my files to the new drive without incident. Then I got the big stop sign with the error message: "Copying files failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
This turned out to have nothing to do with either the hard drive or the external disk. I had a bad file in my music library that was shutting down the consolidation process. Unfortunately the error message says nothing about which file may be the culprit. All I could think to do was to go back to my original library in iTunes and sort by Artist, select all cuts with artists beginning with A, right click and select "Consolidate Files". Then do the same with B artists, etc. Proceeding this way, files resumed copying but when I got to the "S" selections, the consolidate process failed again. Then I selected smaller and smaller batches until the problem file was identified. Removed it from my library and then Consolidate worked fine through the rest of the library. Problem solved.
I spent several days working through this; hope I can save someone else the time.

Copying Files To/From External Drive: Error -36

I recently purchased a WD 700 GB drive that I'm using as a network drive using AirportExtreme. Today, while trying to copy files from either of my internal drives to the WD drive, I get error -36 messages. If I'm copying a folder of files and click on the option "skip" after receiving an error message for a particular file then the entire copy transaction aborts. I have taken the following steps:
1) Disconnected WD from netywork and connected it directly to my G5.
2) Ran Disk Utilities and got 1 error on 1 of the 3 partitions which was repaired.
3) Re-ran Disk Utilities and got no error.
Tried moving folders of files and groups of files from WD to G5 and received same error -36 message.
Tried moving folders of files and groups of files from G5 to WD and received same error -36 message. Cannot move even a single file - of ANY size - w/o getting error -36 message.
4) Checked permissions and "ignore ownership" settings on volumes concerned then logged in under root.
Same problem continues. Tried moving files between my internal drives - no problem. Now here's the thing: the only files I have moved to the WD drive thus far are my music files. The iTunes Library on my G5 is pointed at an iTunes folder with these files inside. Last 2 weeks or so there's been no problem.
I NEED TO GET THESE MUSIC FILES OFF or COPIED or BURNED to another disk. In that vein I tried:
5) Unsuccessfully creating an image file of the files on the WD but always ended up with a much too small and empty .dmg file.
6) Burning files to DVD - same error -36 messages.
7) Repaired permissions on my G5 - just 'cause. No help.
8) Re-ran Disk Utilities on WD: repairs not needed.
9) Re-booted; error -36 messages continue to pop up.
I'm at a loss as to what to do and am especially peeved because I bought the WD at the suggestion of a clerk at the Apple Store even after I pointed out to him that the WD was getting very mixed reviews on Apple's site. I'm not angry with the clerk but at myself for purchasing the WD even with my misgivings.
How can I copy to another disk the ONLY copy of my music files from the WD drive so I can either reformat or return it?
Dual 2 GHz G5, 17" MacBook Pro, MacMini, Apple iPhone Mac OS X (10.4.10) 2 Apple 20" Cinema Display, Proview 17" display, External Acomdata Disk Drive

A couple of ideas:
1. Do you have an iSight camera or an iPod connected to another Firewire port? If so, unplug them so that the only Firewire device is the drive.
2. Unplug everything except the keyboard and mouse and download and reapply the 10.4.10 COMBO update. Make sure no other program is running when you apply the update, and do nothing whatsoever until the update finishes.
3. Have you tried plugging the drive into another computer to see if it works? If so, copy files off on the other computer and burn them from there.
4. Does your iTunes work and access the files? Have you tried creating CDs from iTunes?
If all else fails and you have a spare drive slot in the G5 that will take the type of drive in the enclosure, you could always try removing it from the enclosure and putting it into the G5 and see if it works there. The problem could be the innards of the drive enclosure rather than the drive itself.

11.5.10.2 -12.1.1 Upgrade- American English patch driver taking long time

Hi,
I have performed test upgrade from 11.5.10.2 to 12.1.1.It was successful.
The American English Upgrade patch driver had taken 20 hours time to complete.
Now i am doing a second test run by following the same steps, but now the same patch is taking long time. It is running from past 24 hours.
And still 54000 jobs to complete.
The main difference between my two test runs is
1.For first instance both database and apps are in one server. (single node)
2.For this new test instance, we have database running one server and 12.1.1 file system on another server.
Will it make any difference? How can i diagnose the issue?
The patch log is not showing any errors, but taking long time to complete.
Thanks,

Hi,

IMac is not booting - How can I copy my files to an external drive

Hello,
my iMac (late 2009 model, OS X 10.7.4) is not booting anymore. The iMac stopps booting at the Apple logo and the spinning gear.
I tried a couple of things that I found here in the community but nothing worked.
start in safe mode => iMac shuts off after a couple of seconds
start with safe boot (Shift-Command-V) => I'll get a couple of error messages, e.g. disk0s2: I/O error. SATA WARNING: Enable Drive PHY PM failed
reset the NVRAM/PRAM => no change
But when I try to get access on the HD with the FireWire Target Disk Mode, I can see the following folders: Applications, Library, System, Users. But the statusbar shows 0 items for each folder and it shows that the HD has 650 GB available. I have the original 1TB HD. When I try to start OS X from an external drive I can see the same folders. I tried Data Rescue 3 to scan my files, but the software stopps with an error.
My TimeMachine backup was not working, so I have no actual backup and need to find a solution to copy my files to an external drive.
Instead of Data Rescue 3, I can use TechTools Pro 6 alternatively.
Would Data Rescue 3 find files if I erase and create a new partition on the HD?
What I found out so far, it looks like a corrupted file system.
Have anyone an idea or a tip, how I can copy my files?
I would be more than happy if someone can help me.
Thank you very much for all answers in advance.

The internal drive is failing, or has failed. You may not be able to save the data.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to fully boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
1. Boot into Recovery (command-R at startup) or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in the support article linked below, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”

2. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode by holding down the key combination command-T at the startup chime. Connect the two Macs with a FireWire or Thunderbolt cable. The internal drive of the machine running in target mode will mount as an external drive on the other machine. Copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.

3. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
