Pull the power cord from the back of the Time Capsule
Count to 10
Plug the power cord back in to the back of the Time Capsule
This simple reset will fix this Lion and Mountain Lion 98% of the time. If you are in the 2% category, more information is here:

  • Hi, my mac has stopped playing some avi files (that used to work). I can see the video. Does anyone know why and what i can do? My version of quicktime is 7.6.9.

    Hi i have avi files saved in iphoto that i used to be able to play through quicktime. However in the last few weeks i cannot play many of these files. I can see the videos and click on them but nothing happens (i have version 7.6.9 of quicktime). Does anyone know why this has happened and what i can do about this?
    Thanks.

    What do you mean by what audio/video formats are involved? These are all files from several digital cameras.
    As previously stated, AVI is a file container. It is somewhat old and its originator, Microsoft, dropped official support of it over a decade ago. However, it remains popular with PC users since almost any valid audio and/or video compression format can be stuffed to the file which synchronizes the content by interleaving the individual audio and video frames. The compression format is the specific manner in which the audio and video data are encoded as it is placed in the AVI container. You can find the compression format by inspecting the file in the Finder "Info" window, or in the "Inspector" window of the QT player (or other media player) if the file can be opened.
    For instance, one popular compression combination would be to place DivX encoded video and MP3 audio in an AVI file container. However, neither DivX nor MP3 is natively supported by the QT player. (Although iTunes will natively support the MP3 audio.) Therefore, people who wish to play such files in the QT 7 Player would normally install either the DivX component or Perian but not both. Either installation will independently play such files in the QT Player, but if both are installed, the file will usually stop working since these two codecs can create a playback conflict.
    However, the AVI container could just as easily contain DV along with DV audio. In this case, the file should play correctly in QT since this compression format is natively supported by the basic component configuration that comes in every current OS installation. Therefore, if such files suddenly stopped playing, this could be an indication that a component has been moved or deleted or that your system or QT embedded structure has become corrupted.

    Reboot the TC.. Sometimes you need to reboot the whole network.
    This is what comes of Lion and then made worse in Mountain Lion of Apple not spending enough time to fix the bugs.
    Read C12 in pondini.

    C17 can be related I think.

  • Java - Axis2: How to get an error code / error message from the Javascript via SOAP

    Hi
    In our Java applicsation we call a Javascript in a Indesign CS Server using the following code:
    --- SNIP BEGIN ---
    // calls the remote service on the indesign server
    try {
    // create service
    ServiceStub oIndsgnSrvStub = new
    ServiceStub(sIndesignServer);
    // create service parameter
    ServiceStub.RunScriptParameters
    oIndsgnSrvRSParams = new ServiceStub.RunScriptParameters();
    // create arguments with source- and target-file for parameter
    ServiceStub.IDSPScriptArg[] oIndsgnSrvSArgs = new ServiceStub.IDSPScriptArg[2];
    oIndsgnSrvSArgs[0] = new
    ServiceStub.IDSPScriptArg();
    oIndsgnSrvSArgs[0].setName("xml-input");
    oIndsgnSrvSArgs[0].setValue(sSourceFile);
    oIndsgnSrvSArgs[1] = new
    ServiceStub.IDSPScriptArg();
    oIndsgnSrvSArgs[1].setName("output-file");
    oIndsgnSrvSArgs[1].setValue(sTargetFile);
    // define service parameter
    oIndsgnSrvRSParams.setScriptArgs(oIndsgnSrvSArgs);
    oIndsgnSrvRSParams.setScriptFile(sScriptFile);
    oIndsgnSrvRSParams.setScriptLanguage("javascript");
    oIndsgnSrvRSParams.setScriptText("");
    // create runscript
    ServiceStub.RunScript oIndsgnSrvRS = new ServiceStub.RunScript();
    // set parameter
    oIndsgnSrvRS.setRunScriptParameters(oIndsgnSrvRSParams);
    //$$$ there should be an answer returned by the InddSrvr
    // execute SOAP call
    ServiceStub.RunScriptResult oIndsgnSrvRes = oIndsgnSrvStub.RunScript(oIndsgnSrvRS);
    if(oIndsgnSrvRes.getErrorNumber() == 0) {
    oServerProdJob.setProdState(CBP_Constant.REMOTEPRODUCTIONSTATE_SUCCESS);
    bOK = true;
    } else {
    oServerProdJob.setProdState(CBP_Constant.REMOTEPRODUCTIONSTATE_FAILURE);
    bOK = false;
    //$$$ should be set, if there is something returned by inddsrvr
    //oServerProdJob.setErrorMsg(sErrorMsg);
    } catch(Exception e) {
    sError += e.getMessage() + "\n";
    bOK = false;
    --- SNIP END -----
    The problem is that we don't get the error code and/or the error message from the Javascript in oIndsgnSrvRes. The error code is always 0 if I set an Integer value as return in the Javascript. If I set a String, there is an Exception in the Java application.
    Here is the Java script we use:
    --- SNIP BEGIN ---
    main();
    main()
    var sError = "";
    var sXMLInput = "";
    var sLayoutPath = "";
    // get the SDKCodeSnippetRunner object
    var cbpAdapter = app.cbpCbpadapterObject
    if (cbpAdapter) {
    sXMLInput=app.scriptArgs.get("xml-input");
    sLayoutOutputFile=app.scriptArgs.get("output-file");
    sError = cbpAdapter.doProcess(sXMLInput, sLayoutOutputFile);
    return sError; // This give an Exception; if I return an Integer the ScriptResult is always 0
    --- SNIP END -----
    If I try this with the test application from Adobe I get the error code correctly. But in the Java application, using SOAP, I can't get the error code.
    What could be wrong?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks a lot for the support.
    Kind regards

    Unplug your Time Capsule from power. Wait 10 seconds and then power it on again. When the light goes green try backing up again.

    It is standard Mountain Lion error due to the networking ability which is comparable to wet string. (actually that was lion.. it dried out some with Mountain Lion.. higher in the hills perhaps!!)

    But many people are suffering the same issue..
    And the above is even a little out of date.. you might need to do a reset to the TC.

    It is standard for Lion and Mountain Lion.
    Reboot the TC to fix it.
    If you actually run Lion then you can install 5.6 utility and just go to the disk page and click disconnect all users.. this is usually enough to fix it.. on the previous backup TM hasn't dismounted the sparsebundle correctly and so cannot mount it again.
