Grapher utility issues (Lion's fault?)

I'm having trouble with the Grapher utility and defining/graphing functions. If I define a function, say f(x) = x^2, and then try to graph a transformation of it, say y=f(x-2), Grapher displays only a graph of y = f(x). All transssformations within the function yield the same results; and transformations outside of the function behave as they should.
I am not sure if this is an issue with Lion, but I only saw the problem after I updated. Prior to that, there were no problems.
Thanks,
Jarrod

Hi,
Defining a function in Grapher 2.2 : the variable must not be x y   r   theta (never use 2D coodinates) ; tried now on a MacBook Pro 15" Lion Grapher 2.2.
Defining a function in Grapher 2.1 : the variable may be x y   r   theta (you may use 2D coodinates) ; tried now on a iMac 20" early 2006 Snow Leopard Grapher 2.1.
In your example use    f(t) = t^2   and    get correct curves   y = f(x)   and   y = f(x-2)
It's new but not a bug. Is this change useful ? I must say functions look now quite different from curves equations.
So long,

Apple to resolve my archive utility issue

Apple has to resolve my archive utility issue with the error message Error 32: Broken Pipe. Apple says I have to re-install the Yosemite 10.10.2 software. I am totally against re-installing the software for the simple reason that Archive Utility is "untar" the files with tar.gz file. I am really unable to download and install some of the software that comes with tar.gz extension. It is really frustrating.
Apple has opened the case but since they told me to re-install the software which I declined and advised them to close my case.
I want to talk with Apple Software Engineer team but Apple said they could not connect me with their Software Engineer Team.
With regards,
Vasu

So, what do you expect us to do? We can't contact the Apple Software Engineering team, either.
If you don't want to reinstall to get Archive Utility working again, use tar in the Terminal. Type man tar at the prompt for help on using it.

Why there is no dump(8) util in Lion?

Hi All!
Is there some way to make backup data from external HD? Previously i used dump(8) util for that but as i revealed, dump(8) no more there! Why Apple excluded some useful utils from Lion?

IGS Pie Graph - colors issue

Hello all,
I'm displaying an IGS Pie graph in a Web-Dynpro application.
Since in a pie graph the different parts of the pie are of the same series in different elements,
I couldn't find a way to set different colors to them using the chart designer.
When choosing a specific color, all the parts appear in the same color.
When choosing an automatic color, they appear in different color,
but then I don't have control over the color.
Is there a way to define the pie so that every part is of a different series?
Otherwise, Is there a way (by using the chart designer or by code)
To achieve an IGS pie graph with the colors of my choice?
Thanks ahead for any help,
Anuj

System Image Utility - Issues with making bootable images

During the image creation process for a Netboot, the System Image Utility reports an error. I've included the log file (everything before the removal of the bad image below).

I have no issue creating images from restore disk sets (that shipped with machines) or retail masters of various OS's. This issue seems to be related to the particular drives I am trying to create images from.
The drives that give me this error are hardwarily OK and the software works great. I can boot from these drives and have no issues with the machines imaged from them after the fact. I just want to Netboot off of these so I don't have to lug a million drives around...
Any clue?

i know that was the case in Leopard and Snow Leopard but i just mounted a leopard image to create a new netrestore on my lion server. i was not able to boot any of my images created on Leopard or SL when running Lion Server. I assume i need to recreate the images on Lion. Right now my Lion server is using a leopard image as the source to create a netrestore i can push on the Lion server.

Cache-Storage issues Lion 10.7.2 on a McBkPro 2.2ghz IC2D?

Hi,
Back when I purchased my MacBook Pro 2.2 Ghz IntelCore 2 Duo (at that point the best laptop on the market) I was having trouble because the hard drive was filling up on me. Noob that I was, I was scolded by the "friendly" phone genius that I was not emptying my cache regularly and I was not using Disk uitlity every freakin' day. I was ok with the scolding because I was clearly a stupid consumer, as I am now. I religiously dragged the cache to the trash, and ran disk utility. Smooth sailing until OS X Lion. OSX Lion hid the cache from me, but a call to Apple made it possible for me to find it and continue my weekly maintenance.
But now I am "an out of work and out of warantee" stupid consumer of Apple products. Please help me to understand what I am supposed to do now to keep my cache from filling up like crazy when Apple will not only hide it from me in 10.7.2, but now it has locked it. OK clearly it is needed by Lion to deal with icloud stuff. But I edit a lot of video and even with an external Hard drive, I still need some on-board storage. How do I keep this thing from filling up like crazy? If it's not necessary to dump it, are there other maintenance procedures that I should be doing but because I am a stupid consumer I would not know about them? Asking humbly for help. Yes I am a stupid noob flame away, but help me please.

The USB drive's going off line most likely has nothing to do with the printer. I have both a Fire Wire and USB drive on my 2010 27 inch iMac. The FW drive has no problems... the USB drive however, randomly goes off line.... even when it is in use.
I have no doubt that Apple has an issue with either the 27 inch iMac's USB design or Lion's implementation of USB.
My 24 inch iMac (iMac6,1) (which I stll have, and which cannot run Lion) allows my Kensington Trackball to "wake" it up, but the 27 inch (iMac11,3) won't see the track ball until I login.

Graph control causes general protection fault when changing axis range (64bit)

Hello,
i wrote a 32bit application which i'm porting to 64bit now and stumbled across a problem with the graph control.
The Graph axsis are set to editable so that the user can change the axis range manually at runtime. The 32bit version has no problem here, but the 64bit version is crashing with a general protection fault at the source line with RunUserInterface().
Is there a compiler option/value or something i should be aware of when swithing to 64bit that should be set?
Or is this just a problem with the code of the control?
I tried it with LabWindows v13.0.2 (278) and v13.0.1, running under Windows 7 64bit.
Thanks.

Hello, danouj!
Thank you for reporting this issue to us!
However, information you provided is still unsufficient for us to determine the background of this bug.
Please also provide the following details, so that we can identify the issue and investigate whether a workaround for this problem exists:
From my understanding, when porting the application to 64-bit, you also performed some code changes to your CVI application. What are these code changes?
If you run the 64-bit version of your application without these code changes, does the application also crash?
What is the address of this crash?
It would also be very useful, if you can send us a copy of a minimal snapshot of your project application, in which the problem still occurs, for us to investigate the issue.
You can upload the sources at ftp://ftp.natinst.com/incoming

Hi All,
Scenario: One Asynchronous Bpel is trying invoke the webservice. When the status of the webservice is "Down", the BPEL will throw "System fault : remoteFault"

My SOA suite version is 11.1.1.7 and i was getting the same warning while compiling the Composite in JDeveloper. To fix it update your fault-policy.xml
Change it to

    <faultPolicy version="0.0.1"

And it will solve the issue.

Airport Utility in Lion can't see Airport Express

Hi, I am using my 13 inch Macbook to set up a home wireless network. I have a base station downstairs and an Express I am trying to use upstairs to extend the network. I was setting up the network and everything went great. Then I went back in to change the name of the network and now the Airport Express is not visible in Airport Utility. I have no idea why. It was fine one second and gone the next. I have reset the Express several times and tried connecting it to my computer via an Ethernet cord but nothing it working. I just resently installed Lion but that was not a problem when I originally set everything up the first time so I don't think that is the issue. Suggestions?

Step 1.. get the proper utility.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
AU v6.1 is useless.
Step 2.. Plug the TC directly into the computer by ethernet. You might need to press reset to get it to appear. Setup in bridge mode, which I presume is how the old one was setup.
Is the AEBS the main router in the network??
If not the TC should be plugged into the main router and put in bridge.

Intel SSD 320 Series Unreliability, Intel or OSX Lion at fault?

Hi,
I have been using the Intel SSD 320 Series 160Gb SSD in a Quad Core iMac for a couple of months.
Its was running fine all through the Lion Beta program, but Monday evening, my iMac with OSX Lion locked up and I had to power off the system (that never happens to my Mac normally).
On rebooting, I got the flashing folder with a question mark, signifying no devices with a valid OS were detected
The following morning, I had to replace the SSD with a 1TB platter drive and restore my system (thank god for Time Machine).
Disk Utility repoerts the SSD as 8.4Mb in size (no, thats not a typo) and thinks the drive is unformatted.
This is very disappointing, so much for hoping SSD would be more reliable than mechanical drives
I loved the speed of the SSD, but this type of failure whether its Intel's fault or OSX causing this catestrophic failure I am still unsure, but either way its totally un-acceptable and has made me wary of wanting to try again with SSD!
D.

To help future users searching, I have an update.
This appears to be a bug in the Intel 320 Series SSD drives which Intel have acknowledged.
I applaud them for owning up to the problem, but I am furious they let a product of this type get to market with a serious bug like this in the first place!!
If anyone is using one of these drives I suggest you make sure your Time Machine backups are running fine and are up-to-date and constantly check out the link below for a firmware update that at the time of writing has still not materialised.
Rest assured, you have a ticking time bomb on your hands!

Archive and Install/Disc Utility issues -

I'm currently spending a summer abroad in South America, and have had issues with my Macbook Pro (early 2011 version) no longer starting up after some virus experiences last week. The computer hangs itself during loading on the white screen w/ grey apple and the spinning dial. In contacts with Apple Care as well as some Mac-saavy friends, the following situations have been tried:
Opening in safe mode - The loading bar (added at the bottom of the grey apple screen) loads about 1/4 of the way, disappears, and the computer hangs itself.
Opening in single user mode - I run the recommended sbin/fsck -fy command to clean up the hard drive. It comes back after having checked 6-7 parts, saying that the MacHD is in good shape, with a message following saying that something had been "modified" (forgive me for not remembering the correct verbage at present). I then run the same command again, resulting in a message that the HD is clean and without error. I then "reboot" and remain hung on the white screen w/ grey apple.
Opening in verbose mode - I reach the following lines of text, and then there is no further progress:
enable
IONetworkController::enable
createMediumTables
enable end
MacAuthEvent en0   Auth result for: 00:23:cd:1e:f2:c4 No Ack
same line as above saying "Auth timed out" at the end
Command+option+r+p - shock two or three times, (three startup chimes) and computer continues to hang itself in the normal spot.
- So, at this point I took the advice of Apple Care and a few other friends, and tracked down a "retail copy" of Mac OSX (10.6.3) in order to try to do an Archive and Install or any sort of Disc Utility via the startup disc.
Inserting the disc and holding "c" at startup results in the cd drive whirring the disc for a few moments, and then remaining hung at the same white loading screen.
Holding "option" during the startup gives me the option of loading from the HD, or the disc. Selecting the disc proceeds to whirr the cd drive, take me to the white loading screen with the grey apple, and... you guessed it... leaves the CPU hung.
My question is then, is my Macbook Pro unable to read this disc and execute Archive and Install/Disc Utility for hardware reasons as per the virus attack, or is the disc not compatible with my version of OSX (which I have since confirmed through my wife to be 10.6.6)?
Different sources have told me different things. The local AASP in Uruguay sold me what they professed to be the "latest" version of OSX - the 10.6.3, what's more for $55 dollars instead of the lower cost as available in the states (between $15-$30), so I am reluctant to go back to them for advice when they seem more inclined to cash in on my inexperience (Mac owner of less than a month) than actually fixing my issue. Apple Care told me that a standard "retail disc" should work, but I am assuming now that they believe I can snag the same version as initially came with my Macbook Pro. Should I be looking to have my wife mail my original OSX install DVDs down here to resolve this problem? Should 10.6.3-retail be working and is not for reasons I haven't identified? I have since done some online research and found mentions that doing any sort of HD partitioning or OSX reinstalls can only be accomplished by utilizing a disc of an equal or more recent version of the OSX (examples that 10.4 can't work on a notebook preinstalled with 10.5, etc). Does this translate to 10.6.3 not being able to function for my 10.6.6 MBP?
Any insight or thoughts would be much appreciated, as essentially all of my schoolwork and assignments are now trapped on an inaccessible HD. Thank you for your time.

I tried adding in a bunch of information about what your troubleshooting steps meant, but the server went into maintenance while I did. So, here it is again:
"Opening in safe mode - The loading bar (added at the bottom of the grey apple screen) loads about 1/4 of the way, disappears, and the computer hangs itself."
     This is FSCK running, and gives you an indication of it's progress.
"MacAuthEvent en0   Auth result for: 00:23:cd:1e:f2:c4 No Ack"
     This is either a failed DHCP request or ARP request.
"Command+option+r+p"
     Command+Option+P+R - Resets PRAM. That's why p+r.
"Inserting the disc and holding "c" at startup results in the cd drive whirring the disc for a few moments, and then remaining hung at the same white loading screen."
     This problem indicates that the disc is too old to boot your system. The reason for why this disc cannot boot is because it doesn't contain the necessary drivers for your model MacBook Pro. My mom and brother have similar models, and my brother had similar issues while in Japan. He went and got an install disc as well, which failed, I ended up stepping him through so that it would boot in Safe Mode, and then got it working in Normal Mode remotely.
FYI: Sophos has a free Mac Antivirus program, that is very processing friendly, and will scan in the background. You may wish to consider it as an alternative to Avast! if it continues giving you problems. Though I suspect it may be coincidence that your computer had problems shortly after Avast! cleaned up files. Let me know how it goes. You may wish to open up Disk Utility and check your S.M.A.R.T. Status. You want to make sure it says "Verified" If it doesn't say "Verified" then you have a problem.

Disk Utility Issues Wait to Install Leopard

Dear fellow Mac users,
Rather than a question, this is a recommendation to those who are wondering whether to install Leopard now or to wait until it gets really stable.
My experience in installing Leopard has not been positive and I chose to revert to Tiger. After discovering several issues and going to the "Genius Bar" of the local Apple Store, I fortunately have been able to restore all my previous settings.
The loss has been mostly time and money, and they frightened me up suggesting that I had to change my hard drive. For those who might experience similar problems, let me provide some details.
1. Installation of Leopard
After carefully making a bootable backup of my HD on an external drive, I installed Leopard choosing the Option "Erase and install." This occurred without visible glitch. After updating the system to its latest version, I migrated all my data and settings. The result was an incredibly slow system, completely useless. It cannot have been the results of my settings, because I also created a "clean" account called "Maintenance," with the same results. On the recommendation of the "Apple Genius" I also added 1 GB of memory, getting a total of 1.5 GB of RAM installed to the cost of $150. It did NOT improve the situation.
2. Disk Utility
Because I suspected problems with privileges, I tried to run the Disk Utility. The result was an endless spinning wheel. After waiting several hours, I had to force quit the application. Tried to run it from the install DVD of Leopard, with the same results. People at the Genius Bar also tried their disk utility after booting from an external drive, without any success. They diagnosed a probable failure of the hard drive and recommended that I replace it. Fortunately, I didn't trust this groundless recommendation and made a last attempt by erasing Leopard and reinstalling Tiger. Now it runs just fine, and there is not the slightest mechanical problem. Apparently, and I only discovered this today, the whole disk check procedure changed with Mac OS 10.5, and at this stage it is a complete mess, with enough bugs in Disk Utility to keep the developers busy for a couple of months. I came across discussions of this on the Mac FixIt Website.
Thus, my recommendation at this stage is that if you have Mac OS 10.4.11 running fine you JUST STICK WITH IT and be patient for a few more months. Upgrading at this stage amounts to loosing time, energy, and money. Of course, I am sure that Mac OS 10.5 has many promising features and look forward to using it in the future, but not now. I would be happy to hear contradictory opinions, if any.
Best wishes for patience.

Nerowolfe,
I have installed Leopard and have had nothing but problems as well. Perhaps you can help me. I am ready to roll back to Tiger. These are just a few:
1. I cannot mount my external firewire drives. I have separately tested each and they work fine, I booted with the Tiger disk and they mounted fine, I reset the firewire port and when I connected them they mounted on my desktop, but not in the finder window and when I tried to open one, it just hung. I have been unsuccessful after many attempts to mount one of them with Leopard.
2. I appear to get random hangs. I have a 160GB hard drive and 2GB memory. I have 42 GB space left on the hard drive....yet I continue to have random hangs, especially when I try to open disk utility
3. Spotlight just does not work, period
4. I keep finding locked folders. Right now my CS3 is locked and even after going into get info and unlocking it, it just locks back and I am unable to open the application. I am a photographer and have been unable to do any work for the past 2 weeks while I am messing around with my computer. Now I have Christmas photos to sort and can't access the photos on the external drives or even open CS3
I have searched the forums, tried many of the recommendations, but nothing is working for me....perhaps since you have been successful you could give me a hand with these issues.
I wait for help.......
Other than that, how do I uninstall Leopard and reinstall Tiger????

Xy graph cursor issue

Hi,
I am having a weird issue with cursors on XY Graph. I am unable to grab the cursor and even when I manually put the X value in the cursor legend, the cursor sometime go to go to that X value. And the issue is very intermittent. The cursors work sometimes without any issue and sometimes I just cant grab and move them.
I have attached the vi here that I am having an issue with. Could anyone take a look at it and let me know if you are also having the same issue as me. See if you are able to move the cursors, snap cursor to different plots and still able to move the cursors.
Thanks,
LVCoder

XYGraphCursorIssue.vi ‏50 KB

It looks like you're trying to make the third cursor on the list show the delta between the second and the first, right? i.e. Delta = Cursor1 - Cursor0
If this is what you want, change the ActCrsr index value on the second property node to a value of "2". It is currently "1".
This will set the Delta cursor to the be difference values that are calculated.
What's happening right now is you're subtracting Cursor0 from Cursor1 and then assigning that difference back to Cursor1. If this is done a few times in a row, you end up just dropping Cursor1 to (0,0).

Reissue: Connection Timed Out and Airport Admin Utility Issues

I put this post last November, but no one seemed to have a solution to it, so I thought I would try again...
Our lab has and Airport Extreme (802.11g). Intermittently (once a week to a couple of times a day) our airport extreme will stop allowing new connections. Here's what appears to happen. The airport still appears in the the list of networks in the airport icon in the menu bar (ie it still broadcasts SSID), but when I try to connect it whirls for a while and then says connection timed out. If I go to the Airport Admin Utility the base station doesn't appear there even though all of the rest of the ones on our network do (I should at this point, mention that we have both ethernet and WiFi layers on our network--the base station operates as an access point in bridge mode). The only solution is to power cycle the base station. A couple of extra tidbits.
* Base station firmware is current at version 5.7.
* We never have more than about 8 users connected to the base station.
* This inability to connect is independent of what computer is trying to connect and even occurs with iPod touches.
* This problem has occurred for a couple of years (multiple firmware versions).
* I also have similar problems on a network at home that has the new Airport express/extreme N arrangement on a cable internet connection.
* Sometimes this seems to fix itself after 30 minutes or so of just ignoring it. Other times it does not.
* The restoration of the ability of the airport to accept connections after the power cycle is always immediate.
* We only have 6-10 connections, less than the max supported.
* The Airport usually continues to work for those computers that are connected to it before it stops allowing connections.
So couple of questions:
1) Do other people see this problem?
2) Is this some problem with the WAN network connection impairing the ability of the base station to establish WiFi connection that eventually resets itself after something times our or resets?
3) Any suggestions as to what to do about it?

Two reasons I don't think that this is likely the issue. Both are based on my assumptions about how noise would affect the working of a WAP. If these assumptions are erroneous, please let me know.
The first is that I have tried both automatic channel selection and manual channel assignment based on an unused channel that was several channels away from other WAPs. Kind of circumstantial since other devices can emit noise in the same region of the spectrum (our phones are 5.8GHz and the microwave is no where near the base station.
The second though, is that I can stand literally a foot away from the base station with my notebook or iPod touch and still have the same problem. It would seem the the noise would have to be enormous to interfere with a device that close the the base station. Also, why would the other connected devices continue to work?
In the interest of providing a complete picture, I would say I have thought quite a lot about whether noise is a problem. This base station is installed in a lab, with lots of electrical equipment whirring away and to make matters worse, the base station itself needed to be installed right next to (Within inches) a circuit breaker box. I winced when I did this.
Interestingly, the thing normally does work and the signal strength & signal to noise (reported by airport utility) and transfer rates are quite good when you can connect.
Thanks,

Question re start up drives & disc utility under Lion

My startup drive is slightly buggy (I hope only slightly) and I need to fix it with disc utility - I know I need to first startup from another drive.
two questions:
1 - I have a backup drive (external USB) that's formatted with the 10.6.5 OS. If I start up from that USB drive, I can properly fix the new 10.7 drive, correct? (I can fix a 10.7 drive from a 10.6.5 drive - that's the question.)
2 - I remember reading that Lion has a restore partition built into it somewhere, so I don't have to attach a USB drive in the future, I can just boot up from a certain portion of the main start up drive. True? If so, how do I access that?
thanks!

I get it - start up holding Apple (command) + R... will try...
I was thinking I should install lion on my backup start up drive, but not sure how to do it - since there is no lion disc, how do I even find the app (or whatever it was) that installed lion (on my main drive) to begin with? I just downloaded it from the app store w/o any discs?
