FW transfers over 2GB fail, crash finder.

Just replaced my Powerbook with a refurbed 17" (waiting for Adobe thanks very much) and I'm having trouble syncing up data between it and my G5 Quad.
I try to have several folders synced between them (like current work, personal image, and iTunes) so that I'm never without my stuff. I was using Chronosync for this on my older G4 laptop and my last act of the day would be to boot the latop into target mode and sync the data. The best part was that dates weren't changed upon sync. Unfortunately, Chronosync got a bit buggy after 10.4 and I started to have to use the cp command in terminal, not as good, but it worked.
At any rate, if I mount the new laptop as a target (or even if I reverse it and mount the Quad) the cp bombs after about 2GB. Doesn't matter if I use the (now updated) Chronosync or Finder or the terminal. Makes me wonder if Chronosync was ever the problem.
Also I've tried various ports, including the ones on the back of my monitors, but I'm mostly using the one on the front of the Quad.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Boot off your Install Disk while holding down the *d key*, (not c key), then run the extended Apple Hardware Test. Some disks require you to use the Option key at bootup to select AHT. Some models have a separate AHT CD.
Might try trashing these...
In "/Users/<yourname>/Library/Preferences", delete com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
In "/Users/<yourname>/Library/Preferences/ByHost", delete com.apple.systemuiserver.xxx.plist where 'xxx' is a 12 digit (hexadecimal) numeric string.

We just received our new mac and took it to the store to have the old files from our last computer transferred over. Now we can't find all our files. There was more then one user on the old machine. How can we find the files from the other users?

We need to find where the files for the other user on the computer are now located. There were two other users on the old machine, which was taken into the store and ALL files were suppose to be transferred over to this computer. HELP!

It appears what happened is the installer though it was looking at a empty drive and just went ahead and installed.
I of course am assuming here you didn't use Disk Utility to format the drive first before installing, that would wipe out your files and programs for sure.
So what to do, what to do.
Well there is hope for you as long as the drive wasn't Filevaulted.
I'll explain. When a hard drive writes data for the first time to a drive, it starts at the very top and works it's way down.
When OS X was installed the first time, it was at the top of the drive, unless you upgraded then the upgraded OS X could have been written elsewhere.
Now when you just reinstalled OS X, the new OS went on the top of the drive, overwriting any data that was there previously, so what was there you have lost forever which is about 8GB or so. If it was the previous OS there, then your more in luck because only the old OS X was overwritten.
The remaining space on the drive still can have a copy of your files, provided it's not overwritten yet.
It's because when a hard drive deletes data or reformats, it doesn't remove the data off the drive or overwrites it immediately, it's just made so it's SPACE is available for new files to be written there.
So technically one can recover the deleted data off a non-encrypted/scrubbed hard drive with special software.
The way it does this is it reads the 1's and 0's of the files themselves, and through a lot of figuring out, can tell what that file is and what it belongs too.
So what you will have to do is this:
Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
or if you don't have the skills, then take it to a local PC/Mac tech and they can do a direct image of the drive and then you can run Data Rescue on it to rebuild your files.

2900 Series Router - Over 700 failed login attempts - How do I find the source IP?

There is a 2900 series router Version 15.0(1)M1, in our company, recently the logs show that there were over 700 failed login attempts to try and gain privelege level 15 access. Is there a way to see the source IP from the host that is attempting the logins?

Quicktime fails to open, crashes finder / safari

Hi all
I am wondering if any geniuses can help me.
I recently uninstalled quicktime (drag to trash and empty) to upgrade to the new version. It installed fine but won't work at all.
If I click on any video type (avi. mov. mpg etc) it crashes. Similarly if I select a file in finder it crashes finder while generating the preview. Safari will also crash if a movie is embedded on a page (quicktime trailers for example)
I've long lost my remote control so I can't verify if front-row works but I'd presume thats not working either.
I'm confident enough to dig around my computer if files need removing, however I'm not sure what needs deleting or where the conflict might be.
This is the third time to uninstall and reinstall because of the problem but that doesn't appear to change anything. Other user accounts are also affected in the same way by this.
Any advice is welcomed.

You should have never trashed Quicktime to do an upgrade. Quicktime is part of the OS. Meaning when you trashed Quicktime the OS became unstable. At this point anything bad can happen, as you can see.
You'll need to do an archive and install from your OS disc. This will get you up and running again... Doesn't take long. And you shouldn't lose anything (hopefully).
If that doesn't work you'll have to do a clean install... Try to copy what data and files you can to another hard before doing this. A clean install you lose everything.

SCCM 2012 SP1 - Offline Servicing failure - Failed to find or access the update binaries to be applied on the image

Hi there
Trying to patch a new Windows 7 SP1 image within SCCM 2012 SP1, but it's failing.
I've searched for information on the failure messages I am seeing, but although there is a LOT of information online concerning Offline Servicing failures, I can't find anything on the errors I am seeing.
I've tried injecting a single update, five updates and ten updates, no difference, same messages.
We have McAfee Access Protection disabled, as we know Offline Servicing simply won't work if this is running.
In the console, in Schedule Update Status for the image I am trying to update, the following message is shown:
"Failed to find or access the update binaries to be applied on the image."
That sounds as if the process can't find the actual .cab file for any update I've tried to inject, but I don't know why it wouldn't be able to do that, we have Software Updates configured and the .cab files are on the same server.
When I looked at the OfflineServicingMgr.log file, I see the following entries:

I'm not sure what file "Failed to find properties of file 4" is referring to, whether dism.exe, an update or the image itself, but immediately after this message appears the image is unmounted. After that this message shows:
"Completed processing image package PackageID. Status = Failed"
As I say, there's a lot of information available re Offline Servicing but I haven't found anything with these particular messages.
If anyone has encountered this before, I'd appreciate any information you have.
Regards,
John.

Hi,
I think file named 'NO_SMS_ON_DRIVE.SMS’ might be causing this issue. If this file is present in logical drives, then please give it a shot one more time after deleting this file from the logical drives.
Due to this file, it might be preventing 'smsexec' service to skip the drive when looking for content. So worth a try!
After deleting this file, you also need to restart 'smsexec' service to reflect the changes. You can also verify from below registry value & ensure that all of your logical drives (specially where SCCMContentLib directory resides) should be listed
over there
'HKLM\Software\Microsoft\SMS\DP\ContentLibUsableDrives'
Hope this will help!

Web Service over SSL failing in BEA Workshop

I have deployed a web service on weblogic 9.2
I have enabled one-way ssl on it. got a trial ssl certificate from verisign. installed them on the keystore/truststore on the server as well as the jre (cacerts and jssecacerts truststores) being used by the client. the client is on different machine than the server.
i have developed the service through 'bea weblogic workshop 9.2' now when i try to test the service through the 'web services explorer' within bea weblogic workshop i receive the following error:
IWAB0135E An unexpected error has occurred.
IOException
sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
on server:
<Jul 13, 2009 6:45:44 PM EDT> <Warning> <Security> <BEA-090485> <CERTIFICATE_UNKNOWN alert was received from yunus.l1id.local - 10.10.2.72. The peer has an unspecified issue with the certificate. SSL debug tracing should be enabled on the peer to determine what the issue is.>
if i try to access the web service (over ssl) through the browser (ie/firefox), it works fine. i have generated a proxy class to access this web service through the same bea workshop and that works fine too. certificates are identified and all. i also created a small .net (c#) application that calls this secure web service over ssl from another machine and it works fine too!
of course non-secure url for the web service is working fine in every case.
what can be the reason for this failing only in 'web services explorer' in bea workshop?

Showing preview column in icon mode crashes finder

Issue: Finder crashes and my icons on my desktop disappear then reappear when attempting to view a file of any type in icon mode with "show preview column" selected in "Show View Options".
I don't recall any recent updates or any changes to my G5. I can open a file in its application program (i.e. a .jpg opens in Photoshop) if I double click it quickly enough before Finder crashes. The only way I can get icon view not to crash Finder is by unchecking the "show preview column" box in "Show view options". I like the preview option and would very much like to get it back.
Any help in this matter would be appreciated.

Sorry, no idea how I missed your reply back on the 29th!
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, or things don't load/run, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates again, or even do an A&I if you have enough free disk space.

Repair Permissions before & after re-install, then reboot again each time.
If all the above do not resolve the problem, then it's time for an Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...

I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...

That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.

Since iPLM failed to help try the following:
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

Help Saving Ps .psd as .pdf (balloons over 2GB won't save)

Here is my 8-bit CMYK .psd (one pixel layer, 12 font layers)
It sits on the HD at 151MB
It opens at 130MB
File> Save AS: Photoshop PDF settings:
The save process stops with cannot exceed 2GB limit.
MY QUESTION is:
Why is my .psd file going from 150MB to over 2GB .pdf (Preserve Ps Editing capabilities is unchecked)?
How should save this document as a PDF so the fonts print vector sharp through a RIP (banner poster), I don't want to outline them?
I've never seen this before and am stumped...

thanks for the input, conroy, i just redid the file in InDeisgn (cost me 2hrs)
it exported at around 135MB in about 10 seconds -- just what i would have expected -- not the gigabytes and minutes and Ps was taking before it erred
+++++++
not a good week for Photoshop here -- first my Trial is running out, then the mystery crashing and now this unusable PDF function...

LaCie Drives crash Finder

I searched all over and could not find a similar situation. Suddenly today my Finder starts to crash. I was listening to iTunes - the songs reside on a LaCie 2bid RAID connected via Firewire 800. I turned off the drive and I get the device removal error and Finder suddenly pops up. I tried different ports first - 800, 400 and USB. Same thing. I have the MacBook Pro Intel version (Leopard 10.5.2) - I removed all USB and Firewire devices and rebooted. Same thing.
Of note, I could open the programs that are on the dock, and while the iTunes was running, I could still see the files on the drive.
Next I tried to remove the com.apple.finder.plst file - that did not work.
I have two other LaCies - a rugged and the old d2. Those behaved the same way - Finder crashing. The Console error says "Bus Error" and repeats every second when the drive is attached.
The last thing I tried was a Fujitsu drive in some external case I got from New Egg and that drive connected just fine. No crashing, and I can access files.
I downloaded and installed nothing in the past few days, and the LaCie was working fine. As I said, it just started to do this on its own.
Any ideas? If the LaCies are a problem, I need to find a way to get to my data!
Thanks.

Hmm. I wonder if the problem is related to the Knowledge Base article that Apple recently published (it is one of the strangest I have ever seen). See it here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307502
It does involve Finder crashes and external drives, but the drive name causing the problem discussed is the startup drive, as given in the Sharing Prefs. Worth a look I think.

MTU 1530 crashes finder

MTU > 1530 crashes finder. Pretty much says it. MTU of 1531 will crash AFP connection attemps and kill the finder.
NICs support jumbo frames. Trying to share between two PowerMac G4's. Only MTU that works is 1530 and less. 1531 and over will crash the computer.
Need to get jumbo frames running.
When I go to try to resurect the finder I get a -600 error.

^ I don't really understand what that means?
Reader Reports (most recent first)
Apple PCI-X Gigabit cards: (follow-up from reader that reported on hawking cards on 8/29)
(added 9/1/2006)
"Hello again... Recently I found that the Hawking cards worked and are available via newegg, and I mentioned trying out the Apple "PCI-X Gigabit Ethernet Card" in two old PowerMac G4s to try to boost the file transfer performance (MB/S) using 9000 MTU on the Apple cards vs 1500 MTU on the hawking ones. The cards came, have nice LEDs (emerald green and sapphire blue), and are very easy to install compared to other cards. I'm testing using two powermac g4s (sawtooth's) one with the stock 400 MHz proc, other with a 1.8 GHz giga upgrade, both with 512 MB PC-100 ram, the test volumes are both raid-0 on both machines over two hdd. The Apple NICs are 64-bit.
The Apple "PCI-X Gigabit Ethernet Card" is based on the BROADCOM BCM5703CKHB chipset. The cards show they are able to handle jumbo frames in the ethernet tab in the network pref. pane. I set both cards to 9000 MTU which is usually greyed out if you have a non-jumbo card. Cards are connected over a DGS-1024D switch with 9.6k frames.
I tried opening a AFP to my PVR machine (the other PM G4), the window popped up to enter the IP (I entered the IP), then I authenticated (that worked fine), then the next screen after that is the one where you choose your volume. I chose the volume and pressed OK and the AFP froze.
I found that using a MTU > 1530 crashes the finder, forcing a hard restart. I tested MTU at 1531-1540 and at every step the finder is "(not responding)" after volume selection over AFP. Very odd. I called Apple enterprise support and they said the card has no free support (even though I just bought two of them less than 2 days ago) and it would cost $199 to get started on a support case to work on an explanation why 9000 MTU causes the crashes. I returned the cards.
But before I return the cards I'll mention the performance at 1530 MTU. The xfers from one G4-A raid-0 volume to G4-B raid-0 volume produce a STR of about 25 MB/S. The Apple NICs perform very slightly better than the hawking units. The STR somestimes hit 26-28 MB/S. I used a stopwatch and the file size to get the MB/S.
The performance is exactly the same as the Hawking cards, but at 4 times the price. Not a very good bargain huh? The Apple web site says that the PCI-X Gigabit Ethernet Card requires a 800 MHz G4. Funny, as the card works semi-fine in a 400 MHz G4, albeit only at 1530 MTU. Perhaps a 800 MHz G4 is needed for 9000 MTU? Apple had no ready explanation why this is so, and mentioned it would cost $200 to start a ticket. That's how much both cards cost.
I contacted Corky at Small-Tree and he said the 90mt is my best bet for using jumbo frames and copper gig-e on a powermac g4. The 90mt is $150 a pop. He said that no one has ever tried one in a sawtooth as far as he could remember. Once my apple RMA posts to my paypal I'll drop $300 for 2 90mt's and try it out. If they can do 9000 MTU as he claims over AFP I'll keep em only if they get me over 25 MB/S.

Is there a max size aperture library? Mine is over 800g and crashes, won't update to vault

Is there a max size aperture library? Mine is over 800g and crashes, won't update to vault

yes, all three steps, more than once. (problem started on old computer. continues on new. Lots of HD space. vaults fail to update on various HDs. I just tried a new tack- turned off photostream and FB updates. I'll restart and try again.
During the year, did usual upgrades. Started using scanning software, adobe acrobat, Hazel, Alfred this year. Citrix to call into work network. Cloud storage with Microsoft, iCloud, Snapsugar. Who knows what might have done this!
leonieDF, I just noticed you are in Hamburg. My son just moved to Stuttgart this week (from US) to start grad school in Computational Linguistics. I hope all the computer geeks there are as helpful as you have been! Thanks Mark
