Help debugging on Macs

Hi all,
My applet works fine on Windows, but it fails on Macs sometimes.
To access the applet:
1) Click here: http://www.cengraving.com/s/z/Personalized-gifts/Card-holders/CH003.jsp
2) Click "Customize."
On Firefox and Safari on the Mac, the applet crashes when you attempt to add a second line, or if you click one of the drop down menus and then try to type text in. This is a nasty bug. It brings down the browser as well. The bug happens every time, and I don't know how to debug the applet because no exceptions are getting logged anywhere.
The applet is stable on Windows, and it works fine in IE on the Mac I tried. IE was using JRE 1.3.x while Firefox and Safari were using 1.4.2_07.
Anyone have advice on how to troubleshoot the applet?

Hi there,
Since you said you use JNI, did you try to use the -Xcheck:jni parameter? It will perform some extra consistency checks when calling JNI, at the expense of maybe some loss in JNI performance. This might catch any problems that might occur at the JNI level. Of course, if the third-party library has bugs and corrupts the VM heap, there's no much we can do.

Help need my mac pro for school..it has Grey screen..spinning wheel...repaid disk ok...repair disk permission all repaired but one warning...

Help need my mac pro for school..it has Grey screen..spinning wheel...
I think I have mountain lion OS X....I have done I think almost every suggestion I've seen in discussion boards.
Boot in recovery repaired disk...ok...repair disk permission...all repaired but one warning...I've tried to reinstall lion (without losing data) and it Got all the way to one minute to be done and then the time change back two hours and kept doing this all night long. I haven't done a back up due to no external for time machine.
I hope someone can please help me I've been going crazy for a week now trying to figure this out. I use my computer for school and I'm currently very behind from in my school work thank you
Also I've checked my available space 424.91 free of 750 gigs....disk is verified

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Try holding the Shift key while your Mac is starting to start into safe mode. Then, after starting in safe mode, open Finder, select Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type /Library/StartupItems. Then, empty this folder and restart the Mac.
If your Mac starts after doing this, it was a problem with a third-party app that starts automatically when you turn on the computer. It won't start automatically anymore after doing that

Hi can anyone help with a mac that had magnet put on it. I turned it on and then off but a white screen appears with a file with a question mark on it?

Hi can anyone help with a mac that had magnet put on it. I turned it on and then off but a white screen appears with a file with a question mark on it?

File icon with ? mark on it means it can't read from the hard drive. The hard drive is now wiped or bad. If just wiped then you will need to reinstall your operating system, OS X. If bad you will need to replace the drive.
Start with booting the computer from the OS X install DVD that came with your system. If the Mac came with Lion Pre-Installed then you use the Lion internet recovery system to reinstall (Hold down Command+r keys or Command+Option+r keys to boot the computer from over the internet to the Lion recovery HD system).
Good Luck.

Help Debugging method

Hi:
Can someone help me debug and correct following program?
The error message I receive is Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException:
String index out of range: 1
at java.lang.String.charAt(String.java, Compiled Code)
at RemoveDuplicates.key(RemoveDuplicates.java, Compiled Code)
at RemoveDuplicates.main(RemoveDuplicates.java:12)
The code is as follows:
class RemoveDuplicates
public static void main(String args[])
String keyword = args[0];
System.out.println(key(keyword));
public static String key(String keyword)
{String temp = "";
   for(int i = keyword.length()-1; i > -1 ; i--)
   if(i == keyword.indexOf(keyword.charAt(i)))
    temp = keyword.charAt(i)+ temp;
    keyword = temp;
return keyword;
If I change the code as follows it will run without error but I need to put the code in a method as part of a larger program.
class RemoveDuplicates
public static void main(String args[])
String temp = "";
String keyword = args[0];
for(int i = keyword.length()-1; i > -1 ; i--)
if(i == keyword.indexOf(keyword.charAt(i)))
temp = keyword.charAt(i)+temp;
keyword = temp;
System.out.println(keyword);

A: Help Debugging method

Here's your method corrected - albeit with some renamed variables, a variable addition and some reformatting...
public static String removeDuplicates(String s)
    String temp = "";
    for(int i = s.length()-1; i >= 0 ; i--)
      char c = s.charAt(i);
      if(i == s.indexOf(c))
        temp = c + temp;
    return temp;
}The only functional change is the removal of the line in the if statement body of "s = temp"... This would cause the StringIndexOutOfBounds and would also lose the as yet unprocessed characters.
Here also is a version which trades off a higher memory usage to avoid creating a lot of Strings and rescanning the original String...
public static String removeDuplicates(String s)
    boolean[] foundChars = new boolean[Character.MAX_VALUE+1];
    StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(s.length());
    for(int i = 0, j = s.length(); i < j; i++)
      char c = s.charAt(i);
      if(!foundChars[c])
        foundChars[c] = true;
        sb.append(c);
    return sb.toString();
}Hopefully these both work...

Help debugging an Apache module compile

Has anyone every had any experience adding in modules to apache that use openssl?
We have had great luck installing this module in particular "mod_cosign" with Apache 1.3 standalone but we are having a heck of a time compiling it with OHS.
The module we are using is from:
http://webapps.itcs.umich.edu/cosign/index.php/Cosign_Wiki:Test_install_HOWTO#Compilation_and_Installation
We are compiling this with openssl-0.9.7e
And here is the error we get when we try to start apache
.../Apache/Apache/bin/apachectl startssl: execing httpd
Syntax error on line 245 of .../Apache/Apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load .../Apache/Apache/libexec/mod_cosign.so into server: ld.so.1: .../Apac
he/Apache/bin/httpd: fatal: relocation error: file .../Apache/Apache/libexec/mod_cosign.so: symbol RAND_bytes: referenc
ed symbol not found
I'm not sure what it is truly missing and why the "RAND_bytes" is missing. I know this is specific issue but I was hoping maybe somebody has some experience with other modules being compiled and help debugging them.
Thanks,
Justin

You should try with the latest apache 1.3.x version rather than with the 2.x version. The mobile server module that has been shipped has been tested with 1.3.x version. Hi! Summit,
Thanks for your good observation.
I already figured that and tried on
apache_1.3.27
I went through all te trouble to compile a EAPI enabled
Apache to fix the 'Symbol resolving problem'
Now I have the EAPI enabled ( pretty much ssl enabled ) Apache_1.3.27
Now when I load the module 'libwtgapach.so'
I get the following log ERRO entry in Apache and it never comes up.
Here is my ewrror log says.
OUCH: nested memory code, to 1 levels.
OUCH: nested memory code, to 1 levels.

This could still be due to a problem in the Shared Object 'libwtgapach.so' as without it the EAPI enaled Apache works fine.
This is very criutical for me to get the 'Mobile' project we are researching on to get going.
Any help is deeply appreciated, I am trying ORACLE with not much help.
One thing strange though, the olite_50200_linux.cpio distribution from ORACLE download page installation documentation does not even mention about the Apache Module Configuration detalis.
I presume it is implied as trivial.
OR
IS IT REALY SUPPORTED ?

Help! Took mac to store today as DVD stuck in drive- 3 hour round trip!!! Told it was fixed and it now won't even switch on :( I press the on button and all I get is a continuos loading symbol and then it shuts down .

Pls help me with Mac and had a trial serial number problems

Hi,
I downloaded first the trial version of Photoshop, after 30 days finished but the icon still remained.
Now, when purchased a creative suite 4 Designe premium, installed, all programs are fine, just the photoshop not working, asking for serial number but when I type the right numbers, doesn`t accept.
What can I do? any idea?
to uninstall the photoshop and install again?
but if I have the other programs working and installed?

Hi,thank you, that is fine, just not so quick but I resolved the problem alone.Thanks anyway you helped me.Eva

Hello, Eva. For CS4 problems, you need to ask in the Photoshop forum (this is the Photoshop Elements forum). It's here:

Perhaps you could write to Apple at Apple, Inc.
1 Infinite Loop
Cupertino, CA 95014
USA and see if they have any materials that they could send you. Otherwise, I don't know if you have access to Facebook or something like that, you could set up a site there? What most people do though, is get together a user's group and meet to discuss all things Apple.

HELP NEEDED FOR MAC OS X PANTHER INSTALLATION

I'm trying to install mac os x panther (cd) on my powerbook g3 model M5343
because i keep getting a quote"unexpeted error code (exit code 0)" it happens after i agree to the license and before i select the hard drive volume to install to im hoping i can get some help
p.s mac os 9.2.2 boot and runs perfectly because im using it to post this
Thanks again

Hello, and welcome to Apple Support Discussions!
Having noticed you've posted the same question twice, once here, as well as
here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10875742#
that gives people two chances to see if they can get it right.
Sometimes, issues such as remaining hard disk drive free space may come
into play when trying to install extra systems, update or more apps in a HDD,
that may be part of the problem in this instance. A 10GB HDD is not adequate.
Sure, I had an early white iBook 12" 500MHz with 576MB RAM & 10GB HDD;
for a time, it ran OK with OS 9.2.2 & Panther 10.3.9. (The OS 9.2.2 ran great.)
A lack of free space in the drive, and OS X demands for RAM along with its
automatic need to create Virtual Memory in hard drive free-space, made it run
a bit slow. A later cleaned up installation of Panther 10.3.9 without OS 9.2.2
did better; the working system plus some additional applications took 6GB.
A decent sized hard disk drive of at least 40GB capacity, and sufficient chip
RAM of as much as that computer's specifications indicate it can handle,
are both recommendations prior to an upgrade to an OS X version.
Hard disk drive format for OS X should be HFS+, not just HFS, for Panther.
The journaling should be turned on for Panther. In some cases, to do OS X
right, a new installation may be required; due to space and format issues.
To set up the hard disk drive using the booted OS X Installer's version of
Disk Utility, is the method to assure the hard drive is setup correctly; but that
would erase the content of the hard disk drive.
If the formatting is correct and there is enough free space on the drive to
initiate and complete the install, then maybe it could work without a full
new installation on an erased (disk utility option, overwrite zeros/reformat)
for awhile, at least. That old of a hard disk drive is likely at the end of service.
Presupposing the OS X 10.3.x install disc set is not from any other computer,
and knowing it should be a retail full install disc and not an upgrade-only set,
do you have the version number and information off the Panther installer discs
to share here, in case there is a discrepancy in this matter?
There are several reasons why it won't go past a certain point in the process of
installation. If there is a problem on the low-level of the hard disk drive, maybe
a sector error or damage, then the drive would need to be repaired; this may
also include the steps outlined generally above; where the drive would be wiped
and overwritten with zeros, reformatted, and so on, and be sure OS 9 Drivers
were installed if you start out with OS X install disc first, otherwise OS9 won't boot.
Some of the older computers do so well with OS 9.2.2, since it really does a lot
with very little resources; while OS X demands much more, including top quality
RAM and plenty of hard disk drive free space. The old ATA-2 HDD hardware
and a ceiling of only 512MB RAM limits that this can do.
You could probably see if the booted OS X installer's Disk Utility (accessed from
drop-down menu bar in Installer header) can use its Disk First Aid, to Repair Disk.
Could be something minor. However, now that some extra stuff is on that hard disk
drive, you should check and see how much remaining free space remains there.
This is critical and could compromise the entire operation as well as the OS 9 run.
Good luck & happy computing!

Volunteer needed to help debug a Boost library in Sun Studio

Hello,
I've recently added a new Boost library called Boost.Flyweight to this project's
internal repository
[http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/libs/flyweight/doc/index.html]
and found out that Sun Studio (versions 5.7 thru 5.9) have runtime problems with
a particular library test, as described in
[http://lists.boost.org/boost-testing/2008/12/6048.php]
My requests for help at the Boost mailing lists have met no response, so I'm
looking here for volunteers to help debug this problem. Basically I need someone
with access to Sun Studio and some C++ fluency (and familiarity with
Boost is a plus, too). I'd be trying to provide as much support as possible
during the process. In return the kind volunteer will receive my eternal gratitude
and an entry in the lib's acknowledgements section.
If you're interested please drop me an email to joaquin at tid.es
Thank you very much,
Joaquín M López Muñoz
Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo

The problem has been identified as a compiler bug, and bug number 6782987 has been filed for it.
The bug report will be visible at bugs.sun.com in a day or two.
Compiler versions earlier than 5.9 (Sun Studio 12) are not very good a compiling BOOST, but this particular bug exists in the latest development compiler. One of our engineers is looking for a workaround, and he will post something here if he finds one.
A fix for this bug should show up in a future patch to Sun Studio 12. If you have a service contract with Sun, you can escalate this bug for faster service, and get a pre-release version of the compiler patch.

Help! my mac wont boot

help! my mac wont boot

Have you tried Safe Boot?
You also might reset PRAM and reset SMC.
Have you tried booting with the Recovery System? See its possibilities here.
From there you can make repairs to your primary startup partition.
Do you have a backup? If not, do you have an external drive large enough to back up your primary drive? It would be good to have one in case your drive needs repair or replacement.

New help with my mac air and airport extreme time capsule dont know how to save to time capsule and use as a external hd

new help with my mac air and airport extreme time capsule dont know how to save to time capsule and use as a external hd would like 2 store my home videos and pictures on the time machine (ONLY) as the MAC AIR has storage space limited space please help. THANK YOU.

See the info here about sharing or using the TC for data.
Q3 http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
It is extremely important you realise.. the Time Capsule was never designed for this.
It is a backup target for Time Machine.. that is the software on the computer that does backups.. it has no direct connection to the Time Capsule.
It has no ability to back itself up.. unlike all other NAS in the market. It is therefore likely one day you will lose all your files unless you seriously work out how to backup.
The TC is slow to spin up the hard disk and fast to spin down. iTunes and iPhoto will continually lose connection to their respective libraries.
iPhoto in particular is easy to corrupt when you move photos over wireless into the library.. once corrupted all is corrupt. A single photo will ruin it all.. so backup is utterly essential.
Time Machine cannot do backups of network drives. ie the TC. You will need a different backup software like CCC. You will then need another target to backup to..

Wlan MAC in deep sleep. Please help debug

I have no idea what causes this and I do not know what it indicates. In particular I do not know if this is a software failure or (worse) a hardware failure. I have been downgraded by kernel and linux-firmware, but it does not seem to have solve the issue.
Does anybody know (i) what might have caused this? Or (ii) how to diagnose it further?

Some searching around lead me to this (long thread), which suggests this might be an aspm related bug/issue.
Just for the sake of testing, could you try if the issue also occurs if you disable aspm (add "pcie_aspm=off" to your kernel line in your bootloader config)?
