Files in twilight zone????

hi all
i have the case of files designators (nef, pds etc) that either appera of disapear when importin from cameras, harddrives etc,. between pse 9.02 and organizer9.
i have turned the file-type designator in the prefs file on a off, off an on, finder osx10.6.8,
every combination with restarts of computer.
then, sometime i have to put in the program identifyer my self so the organizer can read the file when importin from harddrive.
thanks
david

hi
uninstalled everything. reinstalled everything. removed preferences. extentions turned on. extentions turned off.
final result --- works (sort of)
1. when i open a raw nef file in orgnaizer 9.02, i have to save the original as a nef file.
2. after the nef file is saved, i can then "save-as" the pix and i can get the extentions to change if i check the "save as version".
3. i then uncheck the "save as version box" and from then on the extentions chnage as they should.
thanks
david

Unable to install a zone: Copying 0 files to the zone.

Hi forum users,
I really hope someone has any idea what could be wrong here.
First of all, the server is patched with security and recommended patches, except for 118344-13 -> R-- SunOS 5.10_x86: Fault Manager Patch which I will install on the next maintenance day. It already has 4 zones running without problem.
However when I try to install a new zone now it always fails.
# zoneadm -z blah install

To me it seems obvious that the problem lies in the fact that it doesnt even copy a single file to the configured zone, therefor it can't install any packages and all the rest fails too. The big question of course is, why does it think it only needs to copy 0 files? Has anyone encountered such a problem before? I havent found anything yet on patches breaking zoneadm install but might have missed it.
Does it looks like a HD corruption?Might be since the Sun Management Console agent does seem to freeze on that server too once in a while.

All the packages are fine in the global zone, pkginfo -l tells me the packages are complete.
I did try the truss wrap but it gives me so much info it is hard for me to figure out if something is wrong. The only error i think that returns often and that is not resolved is:
ioctl(4, TCGETA, 0x080471E4) Err#25 ENOTTY
ioctl(4, TCGETA, 0x08047294) Err#22 EINVAL
The part where it seems to compile a list of files to copy however is very empty of truss entries:
Preparing to install zone <gal2en-survey>.
Creating list of files to copy from the global zone.
Copying <0> files to the zone.
Initializing zone product registry.
Determining zone package initialization order.
read(4, 0x0806DD3C, 5120) (sleeping...)
ERROR: package <SUNWcsu> is not complete: skipping installation of package
This issue is still unresolved for me. For now the only way to create a new zone on that server is to manually copy all files from another zone, editing the zonecfg entry and net config files for the zone, then i can boot and run it.

Twilight Zone - Pages

I'm in the Twilight Zone. Can't open Pages docs, prompt says I need an update.
Go to App Store, no Update shown as needed. Try to obtain one via the store without paying $19.95 again and told "not going to happen." Stuck in the wheel going round and round.
Using 10.10.1
What's the solution?

Use Microsoft Word. Really. Unlike Pages, it just works. Want facing pages? Word has that feature. Pages doesn't. Want mail merge? Ditto. Want the ability to link text boxes: yep, you can do it in Word, not Pages. How many words in your doc? How many pages, and what page are you on? Glance down to the status bar in Word, there it is. In Pages? There is no status bar! If you view the little bubble with the word count, it actually hovers over part of your text! And on and on and on. I really cannot fathom what Apple was trying to do with its destruction of Pages, but the entire 5.x experience has been, as one early reviewer put it, and "unmitigated disaster."

Twilight zone problem - missing media file

I'm really at a loss on this one: I have a DV Quicktime file I captured using the DV - NTSC 48khz preset. The file is online in the FCP browser. I can open it and scroll through the entire tape - it's all there. When I right-click on the file and look at the 'Item Properties' it names the correct path for the file location (i.e. in the Capture Scratch folder on my RAID). When I go into the Finder and open that folder (the one where the Quicktime movie file should be, then one where FCP claims it currently is) the file is not there. The Finder lists the contents of the folder as "O items". However, if I check the size of the folder, it claims it's 12.37 GB - the same size as the Quicktime movie file. All signs point to the Quicktime movie file being in this folder, but it's not there.
I used the Finder to search my computer for it and found nothing - yet it's online in FCP. I used the Media Manager in FCP to move it to another location. It did so and re-linked in FCP just fine, but when I checked the folder in the Finder - same thing, the file is not there...there's nothing there, yet the folder contents are 12.37GB.
Really bizarre. I can always recapture and (I think) solve the problem that way, but I'd like to know what's going on here. Any suggestions?
EDIT: I also searched for the same files using an Invisible Files filter and it did not find it.

You should try to list the files with Terminal:
Open Terminal
1. Type cd then drag the folder into the window, then do Enter.
This will go this folder.
2. Type *ls -al* then Enter.
This will list all files in this folder, even invisible ones.

How to copy file from global zone to non-global zone?

Hi,
I'm new in zone.
I have installed a zone and I would like to install some programs.
Could you please tell me how to copy downloaded file from internet to the new installed zone?
Kind regards,
Daniel

I like to use zcp which came from BigAdmin I believe.

Select file for secure zone

Hi,
In selecting content to include in the secure zone, the files in the left panel are only partially visible as they're name-length exceeds the size of the panel. How do I get to see the whole file-name?
(3. Specify the content to include in the secure zone by clicking the Secured Content tab and moving content from the left panel to the right.)
Thanks,
John

Hi John, you cant resize it or view them if they get cut off in the admin no.

Files corrupted in zone after box reset

Hi
We have a system where we somtimes have file corruption in a zone.
We are running
Solaris 10 6/06
Solaris Volumemanagement RAID-1/Mirror on two SCSI disksWe have not yet been able to reproduce it.
Does anyone have any idea of what it might be or have ideas of how to reproduce it?
Have a nice day
Henry

We have a similar configuration with RAID1/mirror and occationally see the same file being corrupted after a box reset. Haven't been able to reproduce it. I know it is not of much help, but always nice to know that you are not alone.

I removed my named.conf file and rebooted, zones blank, but dns now works...

Folks,
After upgrading from OS X server Mountain Lion, i skipped 'Mavericks' and upgraded when Yosemite and server 4 came out...
Something whacky happened w/ my DNS(probably had temp info so i could upgrade to Yosemite...) anyway, everything worked,
EXCEPT, i could not pull up my website that i am running on said server on internal network... all worked from outside...
So... i renamed my 'named.conf' file and rebooted. EXCELLENT! everything works! EXCEPT! my DNS zones are not listed on the DNS control panel in server...
YET, EVERYTHING STILL WORKS! even after a reboot! db Files are still in named directory, but not listed in Zones panel...
at this point, since everything is working, i'm really reluctant to keep troubleshooting, but i would like to know why it's still working, and how i can rewrite the named.conf file so it will continue working... named.conf file contains:
options {
forwarders {
68.XX.XXX.XXX;
i masked out the actual IP - thanks!

Hi Moses.
Here are the crash id's.. however, since disabling all extensions apart from firebug, it's no longer crashing. However, I'm still having trouble loading javascript files... I'm testing a .js file with only an alert statement in it, and the file isn't being found. I've checked the file for funny characters, line breaks are set to Unix LF, encoding is Unicode UTF-8 no Bom. I'm using php codeigniter, not sure if that would cause issues. I just can't think what is going wrong!
I'm only using firefox so I can use firebug, so disabling firebug isn't an option. I've re-installed the latest firebug 1.5.4.

L775S7248 W7 stuck in recovery disk twilight zone,

everyday is something new. HD failed last Oct, Toshiba covered it, lasted maybe 6 months and out of coverage, Buy new WD hard drive and thought I'd make a clean start without Toshibas karma and installed windows 7 SP1 from an .ISO file. input windows key but it says it's incorrect (re-input it exactly and still says the same thing) every adaptor for internet access has no drivers loaded or available, and the recommendation is go to the manufacturer web site and downlaod them (wtf, if I could do that I wouldn't have this problem would I) so I fool around and decide to use the 5 disk recovery set I made, #1 and 2 disk take quite awhile the #3 short cycles and asks for next disk, #4 lasts 30 seconds and asks for next, #5 lasts 30 seconds and asks for next disk ... wtf? Theres only 5, now it's stuck on recovery regardless of what disk, if any, is in the drive. I'd like to thank Toshiba for their outstanding product (it really stands out) and their support site that even with the model number input the driver/updates are for multiple OS systems and models and the results do not specify what they are for, this laptop has enough internal quirks without being fed drivers/update for the incorrect OS/model. If someone can actually help it would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou

I'm sorry to hear about the problems. The support site lists all possible drivers. You still have to choose the appropriate one.
I'd recommend you try the discs again. If they still behave the same, there's obviously some problem. You could try ordering replacement recovery media or there could be some other problem that could require servicing.

TWILIGHT ZONE in my User folder

After working with 50 GB of footage in Imovie, I emptied the Imovie trash. But it still says ( even after restarting it ) that it still contains the 50 GB on my hard disk ( resulting that I only have 2 GB to work with )!
After some searching, I found that my Users folder is holding the 50 GB. But when I open the folder, there's nothing of the footage nor any other quicktime related files.
How can I get back my 50 GB?! Do I need to go back to the store for repairs???

Are you done doing all the video editing? If so, you probably need to delete your iMovie project (probably in your Movies folder). This is where the whole project is stored. Editing and putting files in iMovie's trash it doesn't make your project any smaller (iMovie is non-distructive), so you'll have to delete the project itself. But, I'm no iMovie expert, you might want to search through the iMovie forum to see if anyone else has posted a similar question.
If you still can't figure out what's taking up so much hard drive space, you might use a utility like WhatSize to go through your MacBook. It will sort everything by size for you.

Canon i9900 via Firewire in the Twilight Zone

My Mac cannot find my Canon i9900, connected via Firewire. It worked fine before I upgraded. After the upgrade, all of the printers were no longer available. I only have this one printer physically available to me at the moment to reconnect, and only a Firewire cable so I can't see if it works via USB.
I have:
--checked to see if the driver is installed. It appears to be.
--checked to see if the System Profiler shows the Firewire connection to the printer, and it does.
--reset my printer system.
I tried to go to the Canon web site to download and reinstall the driver, but their website is having issues right now and I can't get to the download page. Their tech support, is of course, closed. But I think the driver for this printer is supposed to be included.
Any ideas?

By reading through the lines on some threads WAAAY down below (pages 30 - 35) I figured this out.
I needed to reinstall the Canon 10.4 driver so that the Canon Firewire driver would be reinstalled. As soon as I did this, I saw the Canon Firewire option show up, and there was my printer!
Since the Canon Americas web site wasn't working for me, I downloaded and installed the driver for the i9150 from the Oceania site. That did the trick.

Logic in the Twilight Zone

This afternoon I started everything up, to return to a track: the last one of a project. First off, I was writing an email,while Logic launched the song, the song opens and I start playing it, still writing the email. Suddenly, Logic quits: oh, well, I thought; sent the email and relaunched. This time when getting to the stage of loading an East West Platinum Pro patch, Logic crashes again. This repeatedly happened, same place each time, so I went back to basics and started up a vanilla autoload: fine. Then I tried one of my own templates from the dock, where I keep them: that opened, but immediately disappeared! No "Logic unexpectedly quit", etc. Just poof! vanished. I tried several other custom templates, and they all performed this disappearing act. So, I'm getting really panicky: I have to finish this album before the studio is relocated. I decide to post the problem on this forum: Safari repeatedly crashes.
I check all the usual suspects: no problems anywhere. I then decide to open the vanilla song again and try opening one of my templates from that. It works. I save it, and then try opening it from the dock: it works fine again, and so do all the others, plus the problem song.
What was that all about? I'm running 7.2.2, and until then it had been more or less fine, but that was a bit alarming. Has anyone any ideas, and should I take any other measures? There was also a bit more fan activity when all this was happening.
It felt like the whole thing was on the edge of collapse.
G5 Quad 2.5 8 gig,G5's DP 2.5/2.0 4 gig,Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.7) MOTU 2408's Mk3x3,24i/o,Hammerfall HDSP 9652x3, Big Ben/Avalon/DBX Quantum

From my PC days, I learned that once you have an application crashing, it can leave the computer in a little bit of a flaky state, so I got into the habit of saving copies of anything important, and restarting.
Generally these days OS's are much better at protecting themselves from application crashes, but sometimes things can go screwy. It sounds like Logic crashed and caused the computer, the audio or MIDI subsystem and anything else Logic uses from the OS to go flaky.
In this case, I would have done a restart to cause any aberrant behaviour to calm down, but it seems like it recovered on its own. (I'd still restart though).
Normally an application will crash cleanly and can simply be restarted, but sometimes...

What happened to the Twilight Zone TV shows???

There were there a few weeks ago, and now they've been pulled! Anyone know what happened?

OTN account in twilight zone

Ever since the OTN conversion to SSO, I get these marketing emails from oracle and they're apparently using my OTN account --- HOWEVER, the name on these emails is "Kelly Summers"! That's not me and my OTN preferences don't include 'subscribing' to these emails.
Can someone straighten out my account?
btw -- this is a funny way of asking for account maintenance / support. There REALLY should be a direct method -- like, oh, e-mail?

Zone create not installing all zone root files

I'm installing a new T5240 Solaris 10 u6 10/08 with the 10_Recommended patch kit from 09 Dec 2008. The system is jumpstarted with /, /usr, /var, /export/home on SVM mirrored internal 146g drives. When I first got the server up and running, I tested zone creation with a default zone setup:
zonecfg -z test
create -b
set zonepath=/export/home/zones
set autoboot=true
add net
set physical=nxge0
set address=192.168.103.254
end
verify
commit
exit
zoneadm -z test install
Preparing to install zone <test>.
Creating list of files to copy from the global zone.
Copying <139100> files to the zone.
Initializing zone product registry.
Determining zone package initialization order.
Preparing to initialize <1164> packages on the zone.
This worked, so I removed it and continued with the server configuration:
The nxge0 interface has been configured with 802.1q vlan (nxge103000) and is successfully on the network. I configured MPX/IO on the pair of fp interfaces. I've added a disk from our HP EVA SAN array and created a ZFS pool and filesystem for the zoneroot, mounted at /opt/zones/zoneroots/oraprod1.
Now, when I try to recreate the test zone it now fails to copy all of the required files to the root, puts many errors into the install log about files changed in the global-zone root after installation and won't boot the zone past single-user maintenance mode.
The zone create now shows: (after adjusting the phys net i/f name)
bash-3.00# zoneadm -z test2 install
Preparing to install zone <test2>.
Creating list of files to copy from the global zone.
Copying <78> files to the zone.
Initializing zone product registry.
Determining zone package initialization order.
Preparing to initialize <1165> packages on the zone.
When I zlogin to the zone after it's booted into maint, it's obvious that many root fs files are missing - including
most of the SMF service manifests.
I've searched for forums, mailing lists and sun support knowledgebase without finding anything similar.
What am I missing?

Yes, I've reproduced the problem with and without the '-b' option on create, on UFS as well as ZFS filesystem and on /export/home/zones on the local drive.
My plan now is to walk thru the configuration process one step at a time, trying to create the zone at each step. I re-jumped the server last night and created the zone correctly. I then removed it, installed patches in single user, rebooted with "-r" and was able to recreate the zone. I've enabled mpxio and i can still create the zone. Next up tonight is to add the 802.1Q configuration, add the ZFS rootzone and run our custom scripts that to server hardening, user setup, etc.
There was one bug report that sounded "interesting" having to do with a patch set that wasn't zone-friendly as it left patch files in place w/o fixing the manifests so when the zone create ran it found files that didn't match the checksums or whatever is used to validate file correctness when copying files into the zone.
I'll keep updating this with my progress and findings.
