Gremlin in the works

I swear my computer has got some sort of virus however I've tried ClamXav and no viruses are showing.
I keep getting the kiss of death, rainbow icon (I find it such an irritating icon)
Control, alt, delete doesn't seem to work on G5's
The computer freezes, and Safari can be so temperamental... But there doesn't seem to be any viruses on Safari either.
I have to literally click on restart five or six times for the box to appear same with force quit...
Apart from reloading all the software again which means I lose all my Itunes downloads and all my files (I've got no backup) which seems drastic but I'm sure there's some sort of virus slowing my machine down
Can anyone recommend a good virus checker for Macs that is preferably free!

"I swear my computer has got some sort of virus"
You have no virus because no viruses exist that run on Mac OS. There were a few trojans some months back, but were of little concern.
"Control, alt, delete doesn't seem to work on G5's"
Naturally, as that is a Windows command. Use Apple-Option-Escape
"which means I lose all my Itunes downloads and all my files (I've got no backup) "
Then do a backup. What's stopping you? If you can't access them easily, hook up to another Mac and use FireWire target disk mode to grab the files.
What troubleshooting steps have you taken? Have you used Disk Utiltiy to repair file/folder permissions? Have you booted from the Software Install DVD and run Disk Utility to check for directory damage to the file structure? What about Disk Warrior? Do you have a copy?

    Hi Rahul,
    Thanks for reply. I am maintained in diff value  maintained routing , Ex :First routing i have  work center 'X' value maintained as a setup time in 15 Min's and operation time 10 Min's
    second work center 'Y' I have maintained as set up time 10 Min's and operation time 30 Min's,
    Now I want to change the work center in production order as a 'Y' so whatever value maintained in routing , it has to be changed automatically (10 min's and 30 Min's), but system will not change only old value only picked (15Min's AND 10 Min's).
    Now I think you get to know what the client requirement, kindly do the need full.

  • SharePoint Foundation Sandboxed Code Service - Unable to activate worker process proxy object within the worker process

    Issue:
    On a vanilla installation, the sandboxed code service (e.g. SPUCHostService.exe) is started; however, SPUCWorkerProcessProxy.exe and subsequently SPUCWorkerProcess.exe fails to start.
    Resolution/Workarounds attempted:
    Attempted 2 different Load balancing settings – local and remote (i.e. affinity)
    Ensured local computer policy on server for ‘RPC Endpoint Mapper Client Authentication’ and ‘Restrictions for Unauthenticated RPC clients’ is disabled.
    Ensured following key in registry is set properly - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\RPC
    Attempted to bypass SharePoint’s check for certificate revocations at crl.microsoft.com
    Ensured the service account is added to the respective groups (e.g. Performance Log Users, Performance Monitor Users, IIS_IUSRS, WSS_ADMIN_WPG, WSS_WPG)
    Increased limit of ‘AbnormalProcessTerminationCount’ of SPUserCodeService via Powershell
    We have tried all possible workarounds from the following MSDN reference:

    Any other insights on how I can troubleshoot the issue described?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi ,
    For resolving your issue , you can do as the followings:
    1. Logged into the Web Server with the Timer Service Account.
    2. Ran the powershell command to check the SID of the account running the spucworkerprocessproxy.exe:  
    $(Get-SPManagedAccount -Identity "THE SERVICE ACCOUNT").Sid.Value
    3. Checked the registry :
    HKEY_USERS\[SID OF THE SERVICE ACCOUNT]\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WinTrust\Trust Providers\Software Publishing\State
    4. Changed the value 0x00023c00 to 0x00023e00

  • Code to derive the Work Week (ISO IW doesn't fit the requirement)

    I could use some assistance with my pl/sql code to derive the work week from the current date.
    If January 1st lands on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday, the work week for January 1st is '53'. If January 1st lands on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, the work week for January 1st is '1'.
    I think I have the logic down, but my pl/sql is admittedly weak.
    This is what I have thus far:
    create or replace procedure work_week_fn (work_week DATE) IS
    first_year_day INTEGER;
    my_work_week INTEGER;
    BEGIN
    SELECT '01-JAN-'||to_char(to_date(sysdate, 'DD-MON-RR'), 'YY') into first_year_day from dual;
    SELECT to_char(to_date(sysdate, 'DD-MON-RR'), 'WW') into my_work_week from dual;
    IF first_year_day IN ('SUNDAY','MONDAY','TUESDAY','WEDNESDAY') THEN
    dbms_output.put_line(my_work_week);
    ELSE dbms_output.put_line(my_work_week + 1);
    END IF;
    END;
    It's compiling, but I'm not getting the result I need. Any suggestions?

  • Workflow loop, return the work item to the inbox, instead of automatically executing the work item

    Hello all,
    Within a workflow I have a loop. Inside that a foreground step is executed. Then a condition step is executed to decide if the workflow should continue, stop, or return the work item to the inbox.
    This new workflow was modeled after an existing workflow that is doing just that. Unfortunately, this new workflow is not returning the work item to the inbox. Instead, it just keeps displaying the screen that is called by the function module that is called by the business object method that is executed when the foreground task runs.
    I've included a Word document with further detail in a number of screen prints. Hopefully this is something that will experience workflow developer may have seen before and know how to correct.
    Unfortunately I have done very little workflow development and don't have a clue what might be causing this problem.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Bruce
    I could not attach a Word file, so I added 3 jpg files.  I would have added another 3, but it seems that posts are limited to 3 files.

    Hi Bruce,
    As per your design, If you are approving or returning, the workflow loops back to the step "Approver - stat key approve".
    Suppose you are one of the approver for this step ""Approver - stat key approve" and if you click on approve or return, then it will try to create a new workitem for "Approver - stat key approve" step.
    As you are one of the approver again, the window opens immediately instead of reaching the inbox of all other approvers.
    Include a dummy activity step in the "approve & return" condition outcome.
    Active the workflow & refresh the buffer SWU_OBUF.
    After this, when you click on return it will not open the same screen again. Instead it will be reaching all the approvers' SAP inbox.
    Thanks,
    Karthikeyan

  • The work book does not exist in the document store

  • How do you reset the Work Area Bar to auto adjust?

    This is something that's been a thorn in my side for a while. Maybe I'm just being OCD about it... but I've been wondering if there is a way, once you reposition the I / O points of the Work Area Bar (WAB) you can get Pr to go back to auto adjusting it to the end of your clip.
    You can double-click it to get it to expand to the full length of the sequence, if you remember to do that... Sometimes I'm in a rush, or I have 10 sequences and I miss the fact that my WAB is not all the way to the end. I select and batch drag them all to Media Encoder and *POW*... I've forgotten to stretch the Out to end on one sequence ... and I have to re-render. A pain, yes, something I should have double checked, but at 2am these things can get missed.
    So, can you get the Work Area Bar to auto adjust again?
    If yes, it's probably something ridiculously obvious – but I'll take it!
    Thanks
    Stephen

    I would have an issue with auto or a default  for a number of reasons.
    Not least this one...
    I now place dummy clip ( black video)  a  distance off the end of my sequence to prevent the End of Sequence Marker displaying at the end of my edited material.  I dont want that included in an export.
    Here is another...
    As I get to lock down and I am sending previews to clients...I insert Black Video head and tail of the edit so that the preview does not start  jarringly on first frame video.  I have I and Os marked so that I can simply  export "Program at length (without black head and tail) when I  come to master.
    and...
    Often I have edit versions (TVCs) on the same time line ( sequence) and I need to adjust WAB or I/Os to export them separately.
    Automating stuff to eliminate our dumb moments doesnt help much because it just opens the chance of another dumb moment driven by expectation and forgetfulness. .
    Mental checklist is the only way IMHO.

  • How can I share the work iTunes with my home iTunes so I can work from home? Need to be able to share playlists and files for editing tracks.

    I've just started working for a media company that provides the music for sporting events. They use iTunes to create playlists that I have to load into an IR machine with hot keys. I also have to edit tracks to create new stings and intros. As there is a 2.5 hour commute, I want to access the work iTunes library from my home MBP so I can work from home. When I'm at work I can share the work iTunes library, but when I'm back home I can't use it. Any ideas of how I could effectively Home Share over the internet with two seperate iTunes accounts?
    The work iMac is running 10.7.5 and my MBP is 10.8.4

    In that case, does anybody know of a program or workaround that will make this so?

  • HT2506 I use Preview to edit photos, and would like to know if there are any Preview updates in the works. I find there is a problem with Preview crashing, or taking a very long time to "catch up" (spinning beachball of death) while I'm editing.

    I use Preview to edit photos, and would like to know if there are any updates to this program in the works. It seems Apple is constantly updating its software, except for Preview. I find it crashes all too often, and also takes forever to "catch up" with me (as in spinning beachball of death) when I'm editing a lrge amount of photos. Yes, I know I should be using Photoshop or somesuch, but it's just too **** confusing, and I don't have the time to figure it out. Thanks!!

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.
