Incorrect Folder Count (-63) report from TechTool Pro

I've gotten this message a couple times. I can't find any info on what the -63 error message is (I assume it's an incorrect folder count).
The last time it happened I booted off the startup disc and ran disc utility, which found two extra folders. I repaired the disc and it was fine for about a week, now it's back. Any ideas what might be causing this?

+I can't find any info on what the -63 error message is+
"This error can occur if your Mac OS X 10.4 client is trying to connect to a Samba or Windows (SMB/CIFS) server that only supports plain text passwords"

  • Fsck -fy and incorrect folder count

    Lately, my MBP threw a kernel panic, so I hard-rebooted the MBP and entered single user mode by holding Command+S while booting up. I then immediately ran "fsck -fy". Everything looked fine except for one thing: fsck tells me that there is an "incorrect folder count in a directory", with id=2 and the count should be 25 instead of 24. I assume id=2 is the id of the directory in question, right? Such a low id number suggests that it is one of the first directories created during the Mac OS X installation - i.e. a really important folder. Does the id of 2 always refer to the same (important, system) directory on every Mac that runs Snow Leopard? Shall I be worried?

    Hi SwordAngel;
    If you have errors that Disk Utility is incapable of repairing such as your incorrect folder count error, you should always do your best to repair it. Generally I know of two way to fix that error. You can either buy DiskWarroir which should be able to fix it. Or else you can reformat the drive. Of course reformatting the will erase all data so please backup first.

  • Creating Rpt Conmgr Cache File In Temp folder while opening report from app

    hi frends,
    I m facing one problem with my Web based erp application which is developed in .net ,
    in my application when i open the  report from my applicaiton , in my temp folder there one file gets created name is "rpt conmgr cache"
    bcoz of this for few records also my report takes too much time and opens very slow and it takes long time, and it happens in some of the reports only , other reports are working cool and its not creating any file in temp folder,,,
    so can u guide me whats this file and what can be the solution for it,
    Thanks
    Mithun

    I have never heard of "rpt conmgr cache" being created in any temp directory. Is that the actual name of the file you are seeing?
    As you have not applied any updates, I'd recommend applying SP 4 to your development system. SP 4 is here:
    https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006255422008E/crxir2_sp4_inc.exe
    Next, I'd recommend getting the SP 4 runtime on the client. You have two options; MSI file of create your own deployment sing the msm files. The MSI file is here:
    https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009657852008E/crxir2sp4_net_si.zip
    MSM is here:
    http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/communityCS/FilesAndUpdates/crxir2sp4_net_merge_modules.zip
    Also, I don't think I still have a good handle on this:
    "my report takes too much time and opens very slow and it takes long time"
    What is long time? Two seconds, two minutes, etc.?

  • Moving reports from v8 Pro Ed. to v9 enterprise

    Post Author: DaveM
    CA Forum: Upgrading and Licensing
    I am currently running Seagate Crystal Reports Professional Edition v8 using the Web Component to publish reports via intranet web. I am wanting to decommission this server and move all my reports to another web server running Crystal Enterprise Report Application Server 9 and Crystal Reports 9 .Net Server. I know nothing about .Net (former employee was using this server). Do I have everything I need to publish reports as I did with version 8's Web Component?  Any advice on moving this over? 

    In your document you refer to the upgrade guide, this upgrade guide applies when you are upgrading from previous Oracle releases to 10g, not SE->EE.
    If you want a procedure to upgrade the SE to EE, then follow this metalink note:
    "How to Upgrade from Standard to Enterprise Edition ?
    Doc ID:      Note:117048.1"
    If you performed this specific upgrade and you still see this error, then probably you are facing a bug, similar to the one described in "5844095", where the version is changed form SE->EE after 10.2.0.3 patchset application.
    In your case it should be enough to apply 10.2.0.3 patchset to show it properly.

  • Techtool Pro 4.1.2 question

    Has an used the 'eDrive' functionality in TTP v4.1.2 to create a bootable partition on the startup drive and can vreify this actually works OK?

    Hi, Lefkows.
    See "Reader Reports on TechTool Pro 4" at AccelerateYourMac. There are a variety of comments on the eDrive, both pro and con.
    Personally, I don't use the eDrive — that's my personal choice as I'm not sanguine about letting any utility alter the partition map on my drives. While Micromat recommends the eDrive, in my personal use of TTP's various utilities from the bootable CD, I've never run into issues where a lack of RAM turned out to prevent tests or repairs to run. If your Mac has low RAM — say, less than 640 MB, which is the smallest configuration on which I've used TTP 4.x — you might want to use the eDrive.
    Having an eDrive can be handy if you use a laptop and do not travel with your repair CDs. However, I recommend all laptop users pack their install discs and repair discs when they travel.
    Good luck!

  • TechTool Pro 5 data recovery lets me search but not view or save

    I have booted from TechTool Pro 5 disk.  I'm trying to recover files, pics and such after having to reformat my mac.  I can see the files I'm looking for but I can't view, store or save them.  Am I missing a step?  I have an external drive attached to save/store files.  I have thing saved to my drive already.  Do I need to partition my external drive first?  I've looked online for a user guide/help but to no avail; only where to purchase or I need to call their technical support (can't get thur because I don't have serial number & volume-******).

  • How can I obtain a summary report from webi through counts and sum

    I have a report built from webi. But will like to count the report by different categories.

    Hi Cobimah,
    You have several options. You can simply add totals to the measure columns where you want a count or sum. Click on the column and then click the Sum button on the menu and you can count, sum, min, max, etc.
    If you want a separate summary report, you can place formulas in the cells like =Sum([Measure Object]) or Count([Measure Object]), or create a variable as the same and place it in the cell.
    You also have the option of creating the pre-aggregated objects in the Universe and then they are already there for you to use where you like if they are aggregations that you will be using often.
    Thanks

  • Administrator can not move reports from users' favourites folder

    Hi,
    I am using BO XIR2. With the Administrator account, I am not able to move the reports from favourites folders of users.
    I tried giving all the rights to administrator for the favourites folder, but still the move option is disabled for reports.
    I can move the folders inside favourites, but not individual reports inside that folder.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks and Regards

    As for as i know, we can not move reports of users favorites folder. To control that remove the favorites options for users. So that they can save reports in folders only.
    Thanks,

  • Macbook pro wont start up after trying fsck -y (incorrect block count)

    my 2 months macbook pro won't start up after numerous attempts and ive tried fsck -y and it says "incorrect block count for file system.log (it should be 184 instead of 108) help please

    it just says start up disk full, its not full however it has at least 10Gb of space left.
    Your HD is full!  How large is your HD?  You should never let your hard drive get to where you have only 10-15% of space left.  You need to do some serious housekeeping.  However, you need to get to your desktop to do that.

  • Premiere Pro CC 2014 keeps freezing when loading projects from Premiere Pro CC

    Hi everyone,
    I'm reporting this issue in case someone else would have the same problem.
    I just downloaded the 2014 version of Premiere Pro CC, and when I'm loading a project from Premiere Pro CC into CC2014 I have the software freezing and being unable to even play the loaded sequences. It seems that dynamic link is having trouble linking the CC and the CC2014 version of Premiere Pro.
    Until now the only solution I found was to kill the process of the software and start it again, after 8 times I got my sequence loaded alright, then sometimes it is freezing again, killing process, starting software again, and so on. Does anyone has the same problem ?
    I'm running a Windows 7 Ultimate PC with 12Go RAM dedicated only to Premiere Pro.
    Cheers,
    Vincent

    Hi Vincent,
    I feel your pain, you are not alone. Here are my machine specs and my very frustrating situation, if anyone has any idea as to how I should move forward, I would really appreciate the input/advice...
    iMac - 27" Late 2013
    Processor  3.4 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory  12 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB
    Software  OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)
    I'm having similar issues that began when I installed Premiere Pro CC 2014, and actually got worse with the latest update/release. The majority of my projects worked fine at first, but the update last week ended that quickly. I did what I know I never should do and updated Adobe CC while completing a project on a deadline. I thought some of the fixes would help me complete the project sooner. Needless to say, the deadline has passed, my client is pissed enough to not pay me or hire me again and I'm stuck with an almost-there version that I can't export correctly because of this software. This is my problem, not Adobe's, but I didn't expect such a detrimental update to halt my operation.
    After doing some research, I found that some plugins could be the cause of some specific editing issues, mainly due to incorrect or inaccessible folders - who knows if its Dynamic Link, CC apps or 2014 apps. I concluded that my issue at the time was a plugin permissions issue on the Adobe "Preference" Folder, so I reset the permissions on the folder so that CC and 2014 apps would be able to access its contents without any problems. This was the wrong decision. For some reason, resetting this folders permissions also effected the main HDD, it's Kernel Text files and their respective permission. I could not boot my machine, just got the Apple and spinning wheel until I had to power down. I ended up on the phone with 3 different AppleCare reps who helped me at least be able to turn the machine back on and access my desktop/files, apps, etc. Outside of this, no one could offer anything other than "Uninstall the problematic application, reboot, reinstall, etc..." or "Backup your files and reimage the HDD." When I mentioned the recent CUDA driver update for my graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB now running CUDA Driver Version: 6.0.51), it was like they had never heard of graphics cards being used in their machines.
    Resetting permissions on Adobe Preference Folder...
    This is what I read would get the CC and 2014 apps communicating correctly so that they could utilize my plugins. There is a problem, I believe, in that their are TOO MANY locations where Adobe folders/components live. There are 3 "Preferences" folders that I found, and I don't know which effects what process, but the folder I changed permissions on clearly effects the operation of all of the CC & 2014 apps I had installed, as well as my HDD. Kernel Extensions and the entire system.
    Based on my perceived effects of the Preference folder, I needed to uninstall everything, run the Adobe CC Cleaner Tool, download/install just the 2014 releases and see if that resolved the issue. I'm not downloading CC apps, the 2014 releases should run fine on their own. I've yet to confirm this with Adobe, as what I've read has simply said to install the new release next to the CC apps, rather than on top of, as traditional update releases work. Anyway, one by one, I reinstalled the 14 apps that I use on a regular basis on a "clean" machine with no trace of previous Adobe apps.
    After reinstalling (without any plugins), I was at least able to open Premiere Pro from the Application folder and work for a few minutes before both Program and Source monitors froze and had to force quit the app. If I try to open the Project File by double clicking it in the Finder, SpeedGrade opens up instead of Premiere Pro - never seen that before. I also had to force quit to end that process and reopen in Premiere instead of SpeedGrade.
    So back to Premiere, if I do have success in opening a project in the right application, Premiere freezes - if not immediately, eventually it will just stop responding. The video clips, sequence segments and UI freeze, but the audio will keep playing until I force quit. When I force quit, Premiere Pro doesn't close entirely. The UI closes, but the process still runs. I've even force quit from Finder, force quit again from the Dock, Shut Down the machine, restarted and Premiere Pro will still be open, but "Not Responding", so I force quit again and open the project. Just now, I opened PP, made minor edits to a sequence, sent it to Media Encoder, exported, but the video I tested exported without audio. I force quite PP twice just before that and it is still running now, but again, it is "not responding".
    Ultimately, none of this works, nor have my attempts at resolving these many issues. One thing I know is that there is something VERY WRONG with either the latest release/update to 2014 apps, the Preference folder or the permissions that were changed.
    As I mentioned previously, and what I think is a major oversight by someone at Adobe, is that for some reason the permission changes to ONE Adobe folder also effected my entire system and Macintosh HD. Some Kernel Extension files went missing, which is never good and should not happen when resetting folder permissions, so I believe my issues are far greater than the faulty Adobe CC 2014 applications, and is the cause of many of my problems right now. If I can't get things sorted soon, I'm going to reimage my HDD and start from scratch. As much as I would like to avoid this, I really have no choice if I want to get back to work and not lose clients over inexplicable technology issues.
    If I find a solution, I will repost, but I think Adobe has to make some serious fixes on this release before anything is resolved entirely. I pay them monthly and rely on their software and platform to work without issue, which is foolish - I know, but I've used CC since it was introduced and it has work well enough until now.
    Is there anyone at Adobe that can offer some advice??

  • Would TechTool Pro help?

    Hi
    I have an older 120gb LaCie d2 which Disk Utility sometimes reported a "minor volume header error" which it couldn't fix.
    Think trouble started after an incorrect power off.
    While transferring files to or from it the drive would spin down then spin back up again, and stay spinning but I could no longer access it or unmount it without a forced restart as the Finder would just hang if I tried to shutdown.
    Upon restart the drive couldn't be seen or mounted.
    Even with the computer shutdown it would keep spinning until the power was manually turned off.
    I erased it, ran Disk Utility which said it appeared ok.
    But the problem was still there.
    Ran Disk Warrior, though I'm not sure it has done anything.
    I partitioned it but still get the same problem, though now ejecting one of the partitions will eject the other without the need for a restart.
    But the "copying to..." window won't disappear even if I press "stop"
    Relaunching the Finder clears it though.
    When running a system from one partition the same problem occurs when copying files to the other, though everything else Finder, other apps still run.
    So I was wondering would TechTool or Drive 10 or something similar be of any help?
    Or should I just replace the drive?
    Any suggestions are much appreciated
    Thanks

    Anthony:
    TechTool Pro might be worth a try, if you have a copy, although if Disk Warrior found no problems TTP may not, either. So, if you have a copy on hand, try it, but don't rush out and buy one.
    What would be worth a try is, if you can back up your data from the HDD in question, to completely wipe the HDD, zeroing all data. That should take care of any bad blocks and directory problems. Worth a try before deciding to replace the drive, I think.
    Good luck.

  • Yosemite 10.10.1: Finder/CIFS mount problem: wrong folder count/folders not shown @samba shares

    Hello to all,
    we have several MacBook Pro (15" MBP Retina 2012/13"MBP Retina 2014) running. After upgrading to Yosemite 10.10.1 we had one nightmare after the other.
    Most problems could be solved with 3rd party software upgrades but there are several problems with the operating system itselve which can not really  be called a professional productive system at the moment...
    Ok., one thing after the other...here is one of our biggest problems:
    After upgrading from Mavericks or Mountain Lion to Yosemite 10.10.1 the CIFS/SMB mounts to our samba 3.x servers, running on Ubuntu Linux LTS 12.04 makes trouble. We could mount the server shares but after browsing with the Finder the beach ball occures and the Finder hangs forever. Sometimes we could not refresh the Finder, killing the process ended in a complete hang-up of the system which ended in a switch off death blow. This is not amusing because we have 30Tb of customer data there, which has to be worked out.
    We heard about the SMB3 protocol which will be used per default in Yosemite and so we decided after some testings to upgrate our Ubuntu servers to the latest LSF 14.04. release with samba 4.1.6 installed. There was no message from Apple for this SMB protocol release upgrade, never heard something related to Yosemite (Why?).
    Ok, after these server upgrades and disabling most of the Spotlight functions the performance to the CIFS shares was a little bit better as before but now we have another problem with the Finder...if you browse to the shares there are folders missing which have lots of files in it. For example there is a folder with 60 subfolders and 3562 files on the first level in it, the Finder shows 220 files and 15 folders. The Terminal shows a different count with "find . -maxdepth 1 -type d | wc -l" or "find . -maxdepth 1 -type f | wc -l" but there is also a difference to the original file and folder count. It doesn`t matter if the clients are connected via WiFi or Gigabit Ethernet. We have no access problems. We have the same behavior if we set the files and folders to 0777 permissions on the servers. The deletion of the preferences files of the users on the MacBooks does not solve the problem. If we use the "Go To Folder" option and type the path to a folder which is not shown in the Finder you get an result or not. But it is also possible that the result is not correct and there are also still files or subfolders missing.
    In my opinion this is a timeout problem and a "special SMB3 protocol interpretation" which is buggy. We have one hint found in /var/log/system.log:
    "Jan 23 14:35:49 wsosx33.clients.getcom.de KernelEventAgent[69]: tid 54485244 type 'smbfs', mounted on '/Volumes/customersdata2015', from '//x144067:@srvlxp013.servers.getcom.de/customersdata2015', not responding"
    We had no problems with Mavericks at all, we still have no problems with Windows 7 Pro/Ultimate, Windows 2008R2 (native or virtual) or Linux Mint 17/17.1 clients, neither with samba 3.x nor with our actual environment and different newer samba releases.
    We believe that this is a big bug in Yosemite, but we cannot go back to Mavericks because of incompatible TimeCapsule backups. Our workarround at the moment is that we have installed Linux Mint on our MacBooks to get 80% of our daily jobs done, rest has to be done with Windows 7 installed over virtualbox @Linux.
    We have no clue at the moment how to solve this problem, the samba logs do not give any hint. The access from other operating systems is perfect and very fast, but not with Yosemite. We checked different tips found in the internet but nothing helped.
    Does anybody has another idea to get Yosemite working or should we keep Linux Mint until Apple will provide a CIFS/SMB patch and going on with our workaround solution, which is productive at the moment ??? Our staff is not amused and wants one solution and not this workaround with two operating system. We have to decide wether we wait until Apple will get this fixed or we have to switch to Microsoft Windows (which is a No Go for me, but I will not be asked...).
    Thanks in advance

    Hi William,
    thank you for your response.
    As you can read in my post I talked about CIFS/SMB.
    It makes no difference if we mount the share over CIFS or SMB.
    Folders with lots of files will not be shown even if we use SMB3 or an older protocol.
    As mentioned I believe this is a timeout problem.
    Does anybody know how the CIFS/SMB timeout setting in Yosemite could be changed?
    Kind regards
    C.

  • SAP Netweaver Portal - Folder structure and report publishing strategy

    Hi gurus,
    I'm working on a project in which we are publishing BW reports in SAP Netweaver Portal (prior to this, we were using SAP Bex Browser) organizing it by Department (workset, 2nd lvl of navigation), Business Processes (workset, 3rd lvl of navigation) and "iview types" (transactions, queries, dashboards and so on). On 1st level we have a workset simply called "Reports".
    For each PFCG role we have on BW (ABAP Server), we created a portal role and defined which of the higher navigation tiers is visible to users (delta-linking the top level navigation worksets to the portal role and setting visible accordingly) and then we assigned Portal roles to the appropriated Group (PFCG role) so all users that have access to certain PFCG role can have access to the corresponding Portal role.
    For example:
    In BW (ABAP) we have a PFCG Role: Sales PMR Analysis - Administrator, which grants access to Sales Infoproviders, queries and data for PMR analysis. The user that have access to it, should be able to see:
    |Reports|
    |Sales Administration|
    v PMR Analysis
      > Web Queries
      > Transactions
      > Dashboards
      > Workbooks
    In Portal we create a workset that has: "Reports" and under it, all Departments (Sales Administration, Financial, Services, Human Resources and so on) set as "not visible". We create a Portal role called PMR Analysis and add the Report/Departments workset, set Sales Administration as visible and add worksets/folders named PMR Analysis, Web queries, Transactions, etc, and all the corresponding iviews under it.
    If we assign this new Portal role to the Group of the corresponding PFCG role, the user will see exactly as the example from above.
    Pros: The users have a clean view of the reports he/she has access.
    Cons: The users doesn't have a clear view of what is available in BW so he can request access. There might be some useful report lost in on of the hundreds of BW roles that he doesn't know it exist.
    One of the options would be to grant visibility to ALL departments, business processes and iviews in Portal and let PFCG security roles control user access, but that might be confusing to have an overwhelming amount of links, making it hard to find what the user needs, specially during first access. Not to mention possible security breaches.
    So, I'd like to know how other consultants are defining this kind of folder structure and report publishing strategy in Portal. Ideally we would like to be able to have:
    - Visibility of all existant reports even those that the user does not have acess (so he can learn that it exist and request access)
    - Clean view of reports, segmented by department and business processes.
    - Possibility to search for reports, even for those that the user does not have access.
    I'd appreciate if you guys can share your experience on this.
    Thanks in advance.

    Cons: The users doesn't have a clear view of what is available in BW so he can request access. There might be some useful report lost in on of the hundreds of BW roles that he doesn't know it exist
    This is not a refutation: your BW developers/consultants should be able to write reports, which points you in case of insufficent backend rights. EP is not designed to be familiar with ABAP security concept and cant take any influence at it.

    Yes, bad idea.
    - Visibility of all existant reports even those that the user does not have acess (so he can learn that it exist and request access)
    As you already wrote on your own, this would be not good
    - Clean view of reports, segmented by department and business processes.
    - Possibility to search for reports, even for those that the user does not have access.
    This is not covered by SAP, if you wanna provide that, develop it on your own.
