I've been going through my system log and i came across this, any ideas what this means?

Simon,
SMON is the system monitor process. Basic function is to cleaup/reset after database (or system) crash. You may want to view the trace files themselves for more.
In general I would be concerned enough to open a TAR w/Oracle to make sure. But, I wouldn't be frantic (assuming the DB is performing OK).

  • I want to connect my IMAC to TV with HDMI cable. I did it before going to Dispaly and Arrangments and then mirror. Now when I go to display I dont have to option of arrangements. Olny {Display and Color} pops up. Any ideas what happend to arrengements?

    For the "Arangements" option to appear, the external display must be turned on with the correct input selected and connected to the computer.  Then close system prefs, reopen, go to "Display" and "Arrangement" will be along the top. 

  • After my Macbook has been on for a little, the light goes out on the screen. When I start to close the screen the light comes back on. I can hold it in this position and keep typing/reading indefinitely.any idea what is the problem?

    After my Macbook has  been in  use  for a little while, the light goes off on the screen as if the computer is off.  Then, as I start to close the screen, it comes back on fully.  If I push it back open it cuts off again.  So, I just leave it part way open and turn the laptop at an angle so that I can continue to see the screen & type.  It acts like there is a short.  Any idea what the problem is?

    It does sound like you might have a faulty video connection. See if you can make a Genius Bar appointment at your local Apple Store.

  • Imac freezes since mountain lion upgrade, i set to never sleep and then it is ok. any ideas what is going on?

    This may be the same issue as some other discussions but I have a few different circumstances. I upgraded to Mountain Lion a few weeks ago and all seemed to be ok. Then I got an upgrade notice for Itunes last week and installed the update. Since then My mac started freezing after coming out of sleep mode. The mouse was active but when i selected programs from the dock the icons would just bounce and nothing would open.The only way to revive it was to do a restart with the power button. Then the system would be fine until it went into sleep mode .After reading through several disussions it seems many people are having similar issues with very few fixes to the problem. I am not very savvy on mac O/S so I am in the dark as to where to begin to troubleshoot this problem. Since the freeze ups always occur after coming out of sleep mode I set my computer to never sleep which has worked to stop the freezing but I am not sure how good it is for my system to be running all the time. I would appreciate any input on this problem. My Imac is a 2008 intel with 3 gig ram

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click  Log in.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Can't find assembly System?  Any idea what this is about?

    I have been troubleshooting this all morning. It is a simple extension function that appears to error unable to find system.dll. This is .net 4.0 / OPA 10.3 and the error makes no sense. Can another pair of eyes look at this and try to figure out why the error is occurring?
    Thank you.
    The Error:
    System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

    at Oracle.Determinations.Engine.Local.Eval.ExpressionCustomFunction.EvaluateSlice(LocalEntityInstance instance, ChangePointDate startDate, ChangePointDate endDate, Object[] Params, Relevance[] relevance)
    The extension.xml:

    <handler platform="dotnet"
    class="Oracle.Determinations.Text.TestRegEx.TestRegEx"/>
    </function>

    The java class:
    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Linq;
    using System.Text;
    using Oracle.Determinations.Engine;
    using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
    namespace Oracle.Determinations.Text.TestRegEx
    public class TestRegEx : CustomFunction
    public override Object Evaluate(EntityInstance entityInstance, object[] objects)
    Regex regex = new Regex((string)objects[1]);
    return regex.IsMatch((string)objects[0]);
    }

    The System.Text.RegularExpressions namespace only exists in the .NET 4 framework. What application are you running? Oracle Policy Modeling 10.3 is a .NET 2 application, so it will load the Determinations Engine into the .NET 2 framework, not the .NET 4 framework.

  • My iPhone screen is so dark you cant see it! So i guessing its a common problem, anyone have any idea what this is going to cost in canadian?

    so my screen just turned dark in my hands and i can hardly see it! im guessing this is a common problem, so whos knows how much this is going to cost me?

    Appears like it could be dead pixels. You can take it into the local Apple Store and them examine it. They will tell you your options.

  • My iphone3gs shuts off when i jump between apps or run certain apps...  even with 90 percent it will shut down and shows vertical lines through the black screen...  any ideas what this could be?

    My iphone 3gs shuts off when flipping to different apps or running certain apps.  If it crashes badly I need to plug power to the device to bring it up.  This happens whether i have even 90 percent battery life.  Any idea as to what this may be? 

    Sounds like a major hardware problem.
    If no change after restoring your iPhone as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, there is a hardware problem.

  • I see a red line running vertically through my whole screen on my Mac OSx 10.9.5 3.4 Ghz i7. Any idea what it is?

    I have a red line running all the way vertically through my screen. Any idea what this is.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Do you see it all the time? If so, it is a display or display connector issue. To be sure about this, you can connect the iMac to an external display and check that the red line also appears on it (only if you have the appropiate cables). Anyway, you should make a backup of your data and take the iMac to an Apple Store or reseller for a further diagnose.

  • After upgrade 10.6.2 computer no longer goes to sleep. system.log active.

    I can put it to sleep and it will do so (light in button slowly blinks).
    However over the energy control panel it no longer goes to sleep.
    In my system.log I see endless activity. Not sure how this will help me fix it though. Here is some of it.

  • I changed my ID due to an email accessibility issue and I lost access to all my purchased music for the last few years.  Been browsing through the support area and it seems like everyone is saying I will have to rebuy everything.  Is this really true?

    Apple has to be more user friendly than to let something like this happen, right?

    Did you change the ID, or did you create a new Apple ID? If you had simply changed the ID then what I suggested above should work as the ID itself is the same (even though the name of the ID - the address - has changed).
    However if you created a new ID, logged in with that, and purchased items on it, then you have two separate IDs each with purchased associated with them. You say that you can't log in to the original account with the 'alternate' email - have you tried logging in with the original email address? It doesn't matter if it doesn't actually work to receive mail, as far as logging in is concerned it's just a text string.

    That's not consistent with what you wrote in your first message. I can't help you unless I know what's going on. Either you do, or do not, have backups of all the data you want to keep. If you do not, then the first thing you need to do is back up those files. It makes zero sense to do anything else. In order to back up, you'll need either of two things: another Mac, in working order, with a FireWire port and enough space on its internal drive to hold your files; or an external drive, also with enough space.
    On the other hand, if you do have backups, or if you simply don't care about any of the data, then the solution to your problem may be quite simple. All you have to do is boot from your installation disc (your profile says you're running Mac OS 10.5), erase your internal drive, reinstall the Mac OS, then restore your data from backup. You will need to be selective in restoring software, because incompatible software may be what caused the issue.
    But it's also possible that you have a hardware failure, in which case you can't get your computer working again until it's repaired.
