Integrity check like windows 8.1
Hi.
Sometimes my iMac 27 crawls.
When Windows 8.1 starts to do this I run this command: sfc /scannow to check and make sure all the Windows files are there.
Is there a similar command or app for Mac 10.10.2?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Don
Wow that was quick. Thanks for the suggestion. Here goes. I don't understand any of it
Problem description:
OS X running slow. Some apps now bounce for 20+ times to open instead of 2-5ish.

Hello,
Recently, I had a task where I needed to install a custom non-signed driver onto my Windows 8 64-bit setup. As it is known, Windows has driver enforcement policies that, as a security measure, do not allow you to install non-signed drivers.
I did not want to alter my current boot configuration so I decided to create a separate boot entry that would have driver signing policies disabled. For some reason I did not find any good source that would contain a step-by-step instruction on completing
this task, so I decided that I'd better share my experience here.
Lastly, there are multiple ways how you could turn off driver enforcement policies, but I find the way to do this via boot manager.
Here's how you can do that.
1. Press WindowsKey and type 'cmd' (without quotes) to find Command prompt, then click Command prompt icon. If you have User Account Control turned on, hold Ctrl+Shift keys pressed when clicking the icon.
This will force Windows to ask you for elevation of command prompt. Elevation is necessary for editing Boot Configuration Database (BCD), the database used by Windows boot manager to store boot settings.
2. In the User Account Control window click Yes to confirm elevation of command shell.
3. At the command prompt type
bcdedit
to list your BCD entries.
This will give you an output like:

The section that starts with Windows Boot Manager lists current settings for the boot menu. Here you find what boot entry is chosen by default, this is the one what you will boot into if you do not select any boot entry in the
boot menu.
The following record
default {current}
indicates that by default my Windows boots into configuration which I use at the moment (currently booted Windows configuration).
To find out what exactly is current configuration, look into the list of boot entries, records that contain boot loader configuration and are titled as Windows Boot Loader in the bcdedit output.
For example, the entry shown above is one of my boot configurations. This is one of the boot entries listed on the boot manager screen when I start my PC and it looks like:
Windows Boot Loader
identifier {a329b5d0-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240}

This record has a unique GUID identifier that can be used to reference this boot entry, which is:
identifier {a329b5d0-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240}
If we look at the Windows Boot Manager settings, we'll see this entry is the first in order to be displayed in the boot menu on OS start (I marked the unique bits):
displayorder {a329b5d0-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240}
{a329b5cc-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240}
It references my VHD drive, a virtual hard drive where my Windwos 8 setup is residing:
device vhd=[D:]\win8prowmc01.vhdx
And it also specifies that the boot manager must use UEFI BIOS extension code to access my Windows boot partition:
path \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi
3. Now locate the current boot entry.
Current boot entry contains boot settings used to boot into Windows configuration to which you are currently booted. It is referenced in the list of boot entries as a Windows Boot Loader record that has the {current} keyword inside and may
look like:
Windows Boot Loader

Because we are more than happy with current configuration and want to base our new boot configuration on these settings, we need to copy this boot entry ({current}) to a new boot entry.
This is done by running the following command:
C:\Windows\system32>bcdedit /copy {current} /d "No Driver Signature Check"
Parameter /d here indicates that the following sequence of characters specifies the display name for the new boot entry that we are creating. The name inside the double quotes will be displayed in the boot menu when you boot your Windows.
In other words, if you know restart your system, you'll see the new No Driver Signature Check in the boot menu.
When copied, the entry is automatically given a new GUID identifier, so upon running the command above, you'll see the following line returned (you'll have an other GUID since these are unique identifiers):
The entry was successfully copied to {a329b5d8-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240}.
4. Make sure the entry has been successfully created.
Run the same bcdedit. (You may specify /enum or /v, or both /enum /v parameters at the prompt to get more detail about boot entries, but simple bcdedit is just enough to see the new entry):

The entry has been created and given a unique a329b5d8-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240 ID. It now has exactly same boot settings as the boot entry we used to boot into current configuration of Windows.
5. Modify created No Driver Signature Check entry and specify that Windows must have driver integrity checks disabled when booted using this boot entry.
Any modifications to boot entries are made using /set parameter. To indicate that we modify a specific boot entry, we must specify the GUID for the No Driver Signature Check record, which is:
identifier {a329b5d8-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240}
In other words, to edit (add or change) an option for the boot entry, we need to use the following command syntax:
C:\Windows\system32>bcdedit /set GUID <boot_option> [<option_value>]
First, we must specify that we don't want integrity checks be made. This is done by adding the loadoptions option and setting it to DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS value:
C:\Windows\system32>bcdedit /set {a329b5d8-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240} loadopti
ons DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
The operation completed successfully.
6. Verify that load option has been added.
Run the bcdedit command:

7. Add the option that turns on test signing mode and disables checks of driver signature.
Adding the testsigning option and setting it to ON does the trick for us:
C:\Windows\system32>bcdedit /set {a329b5d8-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240} TESTSIGNING ON
8. Now we have a boot entry that enables Windows not to do integrity checks and digital signature validation.
We check it by running bcdedit:

9. Type 'exit' without quotes to exit from command prompt, and restart Windows.
Upon booting you will be present with a new boot option to start Windows in configuration that allows you to install custom non-signed drivers.
Hope this will help anybody to create their own custom boot configurations.

Do integrity checks by file comparison really work?
Hello,
I use a program (Beyond Compare) which has a Folder Compare module, with a function for doing a binary comparison between the files inside two folders. I use it to check the integrity of my backups, by comparing my main hard disk files, with the ones on
the backup hard disks. If two files get recognized as being different, then one of them should be corrupt (if they didn't get modified "normally").
My question is: will this method work to detect real file corruptions? Will it detect any kind of corruption, both copy corruptions, and "bit rot" corruptions? Will there be no problem regarding read cache? I mean: if the first file to compare gets read
from disk, and is kept in a read cache (by Windows or by the hard disk, or by something else), will the second file get read from the same cache (if Windows or the hard disk think they are identical files)? Do Windows and hard disks have some kind of procedure
to detect if a file to read from disk is already available in cache, even if it is in a different folder than the "original" one? Perhaps some kind of file-checksum-system which decides that the files are same? (And this system would not notice if the file
to compare is corrupt). If this would be true, then integrity checks by file comparison would not work, because in practice the same file would be read twice (first from disk, and then from cache), instead of reading both the two files to be compared from
disk.
I have already done tests by manually "corrupting" files (changing slightly the contents, while keeping size and timestamp the same), and it works (the files get recognized as different). But I'm not sure if it will work also with "real" corrupt files.
I'm interested mostly about Windows 8 Pro 64bit and NTFS (but would like to know also in general).
Thanks.I also have Beyond Compare and have used it to check backup data.
Yes, Windows does RAM caching. If you have a comparison program read enough file data that you
can be sure the RAM cache is flushed, then you can be sure that reading the file data back and comparing it with the original data is a valid way to ensure you have uncorrupted backups.
Note that NTFS now does online recovery, so just the act of reading back the data can trigger processes inside the file system implementation that will recover the data if it should start to experience "bit rot" (weakening or failure of the
storage medium). But this is not strictly necessary as other operations, such as defragmentation etc., will occasionally access the disk data as well.
Some time back I wrote a small utility that calculates a CRC-32 on all the data from all the files in a set of folders. This is another way that re-reading all the data can be triggered, as well as producing a summary number that can be easily
compared to determine that all is well - though one doesn't need my software to do it... There are hash programs available that can accomplish the same things. Search for SHA-1 programs, but beware there can be malware associated with free programs
and download sites.
It's good that people think about data integrity. There's all too little of that nowadays.

Did not pass integrity check (16236.304.443)
Hi,
I am trying to install flash player in Windows XP, IE 8.
As soon as download and installation starts, everything seems fine. The progress bar reaches 100% and stays there for some time. Then suddenly it starts increasing furthur (>100%) and the bar goes outside the visibility region of the window. Soon after, I get integrity check error. Any idea what I am doing wrong ? Refer these pics :

Error while installing Adobe Reader "Did not pass integrity check"

Windows 8 libraries don't sort/group by metadata (like Windows 7 could)
One of the great things about the Windows 7 libraries was the way they let you group and sort the stuff in them. For example, in the music library you could sort by artist, and it would group them by albums (see attached).
By contrast, the Windows 8 libraries (at least on my computer - if I'm doing something wrong let me know...) are completely crippled. In particular:
files that are stored in subdirectories are only ever shown by folder - the libraries view will not sort these by any metadata (such as date, album, artist, author, ...); and
even files that are in one of the root directories indexed by the library will not be sorted and grouped as usefully as in the Windows 7 libraries. You get to choose one thing to group by, and one thing to sort by. And every view shows every song - no nice
collecting into albums or dates as in the Windows 7 view.
(see attached - in this picture the 8 files listed are in C:\Users\[me]\Music, while the remaining files are in subfolders).
Is there any way to make Windows 8 libraries work like Windows 7's?
(In the case of music, I note that the Xbox Music Metro app has no difficulty sorting the library in various ways (although, from memory, it didn't work when it was originally released) - but the photos app doesn't and I'm not sure about videos).
(As a subscript, I note that the screenshots in this thread seem to suggest that Windows 8 at least once had the same functionality as Windows
7, albeit that there is no cover art shown in that pic. So it's entirely possible that it's something I'm doing wrong (but I have no idea what...).
Any ideas?Hi,
Based on my test, we can use the following setting to sort by artist.
If you cannot see the option, please restore the Default Libraries to check the result.
1.Open an Explorer window.
2.In the Navigation Pane, right click on Libraries, and click on Restore Default Libraries.

ITunes database integrity check?
In iTunes I have a few ! that have appeared in the first column indicating iTunes can't find the file. So far I have found three folders (albums) that are missing from my music library disc and I don't understand how or when they dissappeared. I haven't found any individual missing files yet, just missing whole folders. It appears iTunes doesn't update the ! indicator until it has some reason to actually go open the file. Is there a way to automate this? So far I've been looking at each song with Command-I to check the Where info under Summary, or selecting the first song of an album and using Command-R to view the songs in finder. This is going to take a long time with nearly 8000 songs in my library. I'm trying to get an handle on the extent of the problem. I am careful to only use iTunes to manage the library (I don't move files around with finder). My library is on an external Firewire drive. Ideally, I would like there to be an "iTunes database integrity check" command.
The MSDN documentation says "RESTORE VERIFYONLY" command does not verify whether the structure of the data contained within the backup set is correct. Does it mean the restore command will not able to detect corruption in the database and I just need to
restore each of the backs starting from the latest to see if integrity check fails after restore ? OR RESTORE VERIFYONLY will confirm if the database is un-corrupted ?
As the documentation suggests, RESTORE VERIFYONLY checks the structure of the backup but not the database itself. You'll need to restore the backup to check the database consistency.

All,
I've published a new technote for folks who are having trouble with the Adobe Download Manager and Flash Player.
Error installing Flash Player "The download did not pass the integrity check (16236.304.443)
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/512/cpsid_51258.html
Essentially this technote links to the Windows troubleshooting technote here:
http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_19166
However, before today the Windows troubleshooting technote only had an EXE install for the ActiveX version of Flash Player 10. I have now added a link to download the EXE version of the Flash Player Plugin installer as well.
Please point other users with integrity check errors to the first technote.Thank you for the update & Tech Note Announcement. I do have a couple of questions, if you could please respond.
After uninstalling and ready to download; reading from the link you provided on 9/4/09, Should we follow the normal download instructions
per #2. "Flash Player download Center" and if a successful installation is not accomplished, THEN, go to "download and unzip install_Flash_Player_10_Plugin (all other windows browsers) ? Or should the latter step be done in lieu of #2 mentioned. I am assuming the download from F.P. D.L. Center would be done first and then troubleshoot by running the EXE. version of the F.P. Plugin installer.
Experience has taught me not to assume much, and if you don't know, ask!
Thanks for your hard work, but you have to admit, for the technically deprived, it is frustrating and confusing. -
Did not pass integrity check??? Help
I am using internet explorer 8, on a brand new Toshiba Laptop, on wireless broadband but yet when I try downloading Adobe Flash Player 10, it is taking approximatly 2 hours on the download window with the green bar to get to 100% and when it does get to 100% it is saying that it did not pass the integrity check and if I click resume it starts the download all over again.
I have tried using different browsers ie Mozilla Firefox and Opera and it is still the same...
I have a support case open with Adobe for this but so far anything they have told me I have been unsucessful with.
Please Help!!.........
kind regardsHello, What OS are you using? Are you trying to install the latest Flash Player vs 10.0.42.34? Have you run the uninstaller
from here? http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html You may want to read each section to be sure to comply with the various requirements before running it. Especially the last part if you are using IE. This is downloaded to your desktop. Close all browsers and check the system tray; nothing that uses Flash should be running.
After running the Uninstaller, it is a good idea to go to Tools>Internet Options and check both sections of the add ons to
check if the old Shockwave Flash Object version ActiveX Control has been removed. If it has not, run the Uninstaller again. Then be sure to Reboot again.
Before running the offline Installer, I would suggest you read the troubleshooting link. It may help to be familiar with the various issues that an install might fail before trying it again.
http://go.adobe.com/kb/ts_tn_19166_en-us This is the troubleshooting link

After installing, go here to the Adobe test site: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about
If you have any questions before or after, please post.
Thank you -
Integrity check fails on column key
Dear DBA's,
I am getting error while creating encrypted tablespace "ORA-S8342: Integrity check fails on column key"
actually i am trying to work on Wallet,
I created wallet key without auto login option initially and i created the tablespaces, user and tables associated to the tablespace.
after that i dropped the tablespace, user and tables as well as wallet key using Metalink ID 757936.1.
after that i created wallet key using orapki option after I tried to create the tablespace it is giving above error.
kindly help me how to resolve this issue.
I have one doubt that we can create encrypted tablespace only ones for a database instance?
to create one more encrypted tablespace what will be the procedure to remove the previous encrypted tablespace?
Best Regards,
SGafter that i created wallet key using orapki option after I tried to create the tablespace it is giving above error.Please log a SR for this issue.
I have one doubt that we can create encrypted tablespace only ones for a database instance?You can create more than one.
to create one more encrypted tablespace what will be the procedure to remove the previous encrypted tablespace?Drop the encrypted tablespace like dropping any other tablespace -- Use "DROP TABLESPACE <tablespace name> INCLUDING CONTENTS AND DATAFILES;" command.

Lightroom 5.3 fails integrity check
I have been using LR5.3 since the update. For the past couple of weeks I've been having difficulty with backup. The error message is that it is failing the integrity check and won't backup. If I uncheck the integrity box, it does backup. If I check the integrity box it fails backup and say that the catalog is corrupt. When I restart LR, it does repair and I;m back where I began. This problem began cropping up a couple of weeks ago. I've reinstalled LR, I've done a full scan of my computer and still, it continues. I'm on Windows 7. What can do to fix this?
Try creating a new catalog and then importing from the old or use Export as catalog to create a new one.

Hi all,
A very basic question, but unfortunately I was unable to find any info on this on the SCCM description pages. I'm guessing the answer is 'yes', but I would like some confirmation:
Does SCCM perform integrity checks on the software before installing?
Thank you!Yes it does preform a hash check on the package before installing.

Arch hangs/freezezs like Windows XP
i have installed Arch i686 on my AMD64 without any trouble. then i did "pacman -Syu" and read all the output/messages after installation and rebooted. no problems. sometimes Arch hangs/freezez like Windows . then it stops responding to any action i take, the only option is to manual reboot from Cabinet button :-(
e.g. i give it a command "ls" and hit Enter then it just hangs in there at command line. this i not specifically related to "ls", sometimes it hangs while i am trying to login. i login my name and Enter and it hangs/freezes like if waiting for some more input. one more thing i have noticed is, then i can go to another tty using "C-A-F2/F3/Fx" and when i try to login there, it hangs there too. it means whenever it hangs then all ttys get into the problem. i have already installed Arch from this this CD 2 times earlier without any problem.
i tried to install CRUX but i get a message, something like this, during installation. i posted it because i thought, it would help in solving the problem:

you switched the sata cable from port 1 to port 2 (of MOtherboard) ?
or you put a new sata cable on the same port?
