How to stop background isync-processes after migrating to Lion 10.7.4?

Hey.
Ever since I migrated (using Migration assistent and a LAN-connection) my data and prefs from my old MB (Leopard) to my new MBP (Lion) I get an error message saying that there was an error while trying to connect to a certain server. I believe the server the MBP wants to be connected to is the IP from my old MB that I used to migrate the data.
(It says: "There has been an error while connecting to the server '169.254.9.91'. – The server might not exist or ist not availible at this time. Check the server name or the IP-adress as well as the network connection and try it again.")
Usually the error just appears out of nowhere, however it can be reproduced e.g. when I connect my iPhone to the MBP.
As far as I can see, the console shows  that iSync (which I know is no longer used in Lion) wants to establish that connection. In this case it's the AppleMobileDeviceHelper, but also iCalExternalSync or DashboardClient turn up in the console.

When I click "OK", I get this:

How can I stop this error that seems to slow down the whole system?
What I did so far:
I already reinstalled Lion and used TimeMachine to get my data back but the error still appears.
I also deleted all files having iSync in their name and deleted the list of the "recent servers".
I reconnected my old MB with my new MBP once again using the old IP and disconnected properly.
If you need to know anything else, just ask.

Thanks in advance!

It seems that this should find a place somewhere on the Knowledge Base or a more visible location on ni.com...

    I didn't try this before, but if you use systemd, you may want to try systemd.confirm_spawn to invoke interactive booting process, so you can start the services one by one manually therefore locate the one throwing out error message.
    It is explained in the systemd manual:

    How to stop the spinning ball after trying to install V10.7.3?

    Boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the Recovery desktop appears, reinstall the Mac OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac didn’t ship with Lion, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

  • How to stop the backup process....

    How to stop the backup process....
    Okay, so it happens nearly everytime you synch your iPhone with your iTunes? Easy. As soon as it starts, hit the "X" in the bar where the backup process is being shown, this does NOT STOP the synching process, ONLY the backup process.
    HOWEVER, keep in mind that a few times during the week (depends how often you synch ur iPhone) it will be good to let the backup process let run fully.
    There we go. Problem solved...

    i agree its what i do i backup whenever i add a new app, or take more pics etc its exactly what i do its what ive been saying on all these threads talking about backups etc, im hoping in 2.0.1 will be bug fixes about this sort of thing...

    Just place the Elapsed Time VI inside the WHILE loop, and wire the 'Time Has Elapsed' output to the conditional terminal in the lower right corner (which should be set to 'stop if true' by default).

  • PFRD 11.1.1.4 - How to stop the In-process Reports Server

    I'm running an "out-of-the-box" PFRD 11.1.1.4 installation in Windows XP SP3.
    According with documentation:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17904_01/bi.1111/b32121/pbr_strt006.htm#BEHDJFHD
    To directly start or stop the in-process Reports Server using a URL, enter the following in your Web browser:
    http://machine_name:port/reports/rwservlet/startserver
    http://machine_name:port/reports/rwservlet/stopserver
    startserver works.
    stopserver returns:
    REP-50171 : Authentication failed.
    Tried
    http://machine_name:port/reports/rwservlet/stopserver?authid=weblogic/passwd
    same error.
    Commented the line:
    <!--security class="oracle.reports.server.RWJAZNSecurity" id="rwJaznSec"/-->
    in rwserver.conf.
    Same error.
    The only uncomented elements in "rwservlet.properties" (original configuration) are
    <server>rep_wls_reports_pfurtado-lap_asinst_1</server>
    <singlesignon>no</singlesignon>
    <inprocess>yes</inprocess>
    Did any of you managed to stop "in-process" reports server using the reports servlet?
    What credentials did you use?
    Thanks & Best Regards
    Paulo

    Thanks RZ!
    The line you mentioned was already as you described.
    According with the documentation:
    [Starting and Stopping Reports Server|http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17904_01/bi.1111/b32121/pbr_strt001.htm#i1005629]
    If Reports Server is running as an in-process server through the Reports Servlet, issue the following URL:
    http://your_host_name:port_number/reports/rwservlet/stopserver?authid=admin user/admin password
    Note:
    authid is Reports Server's administration user name and password. In Oracle Reports 11g Release 1 (11.1.1), the default security is based on standards-based Java EE security model through Oracle Platform Security Services. For a non-secure Reports Server, this user is defined in the identifier element.
    I added the identifier element to rwserver.conf and restarted WLS_REPORTS, but after this the in-process reports server failed to start with the usual generic exception.
    I finally found the missing step in:
    How To Secure Showjobs Web Command In A Non Secured Reports Server In Oracle Report 11g? (Doc ID 1242614.1)
    The thing is that the identifier element has to be placed in the right location inside rwserver.conf:
    The needed change is:
    FROM
    <queue maxQueueSize="1000"/>
    <pluginParam name="mailServer" value="%MAILSERVER_NAME%"/>
    TO
    <queue maxQueueSize="1000"/>
    <identifier encrypted="no">....type here your user/password....</identifier>
    <pluginParam name="mailServer" value="%MAILSERVER_NAME%"/>
    So although using the default non-secure reports server, the identifier element has to be present in rwserver.conf for rwservlet/stopserver to work as described above.
    Otherwise the needed authentication will fail as described.
    Regards
    Paulo

  • How to stop running Backup process by BRTOOLS ?

    Dear All,
    We r using HP-UX -- OS for SAP system. We run backup process by DB13 TC.
    once the backup started, we can not log in  till backup process ends.
    If we want to stop this process in between then how to stop BACKUP process safely ? We have to use BRTOOLS ?
    Pl' give right method ..............

    Hi,
    Just confirm whether you are doing a disk to disk backup or disk to tape backup.
    Disk to Disk - It copies the files from oraarch filesystem to logbackup, and sapdata1,2,3... to sapbackup filesystems respectively. This is scheduled through brtools (DB13). This affects the performance tremdrously.
    Disk to Tape - This takes all the files from sapbackup and logbackup filesystems to tape. this doesnot affect the performance.
    We can kill the backup scheduled by brtools,because there is always a background job is triggered for the backup, the jobs always start with DBA*. Then kill that job, with help of pid from SAP level or OS level. but I doubt that the stopped backup can be used for recovery for future use.
    With regards
    Sudha

  • How to stop tabs re-opening after firefox crashes.........when it crashes and I have multiple tabs open, when re-starting firefox all of the tabs re-open too. How can I stop this?

    Firefox crashes quite often, especially when I have multi tabs open. I usually have to use CTRL ALT DEL and end the process as Firefox stops responding.
    My problem is not the crashing........it is the re-opening of the multiple tabs I had open, when normally it is one of them (not the home page) that caused the crash in the first place, so I cannot re-open firefox until I restart the pc, because every time I do it is the same story. Firefox tries to re-open all of the tabs and stops responding. I have looked in options but nowhere does it allow me to stop multiple tabs opening after a crash. If this continues, I will have to uninstall Firefox and stick to Chrome.

    Set the pref browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
    That will allow you to deselect the tab(s) that you do not want to reopen, but will allow to reopen other tabs.
    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore#Restoring_a_session_after_a_crash
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    *Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
    *Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
    *Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.
