Is this kernel msg something to worry about?

I saw this tonight:
7/15/09 8:46:36 PM SystemUIServer[105] Error: Apple80211Scan() error 16
7/15/09 8:46:36 PM SystemUIServer[105] Error: __performScan() EBUSY, try again in a sec

I know it is tied to the wireless, does that mean there is a problem with my network card?
I have a macbook pro 17" (June 09 model)
Thanks all for any help!

I rec'd an alert that my "Apple ID and phone no. are now being used for iCloud on a new iPhone." I am not using iCloud and I don't have a new iPhone. Is this something to worry about?

Howdy Libbidydooda,
There are a couple of possibilities that may apply to the email you have received regarding your Apple ID. The first is that the email may be a legitimate warning that your Apple ID has been compromised. For this reason I would suggest that you change the password to your Apple ID as soon as possible. Use the instructions on this page -
Apple ID: Changing your password - Apple Support
In order to increase security for your Apple ID you may want to set up and use two-step verification. See this article for information about it -
Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID - Apple Support
The second possibilty is that the email is an attempt at "phishing" in order to get you to reveal personal information. Typically this is done with an email that looks like it comes from an official source but has links to web pages that, while they may look like they are real, may actually be gathering your information for use by others. This article has more information about phishing -
Identifying fraudulent "phishing" email - Apple Support
For this reason it is important that you do not follow any links in the email, as they may compromise your security.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

My iPhone 4s has been getting extremely hot lately and draining my battery, is this something to worry about?!

Does anyone have the problem of their phone always hot?! Sometimes I even get the sign that says my iPhone is too hot. Is this something to worry about?! I was never like this until the recent ios7 upgrades.

It could also be that your battery has gone bad. If your phone is still under warranty, make an appointment at an Apple store. It will take a tech a few minutes to test the battery, and they will replace if for you if it is bad. If not under warranty, search for a repair person in your area.

Something to worry about or is it just router 'white noise'?

I don't think this is Arch specific, but felt the Newbie Corner would be an appropriate place to make this thread. I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question, but I seem to get a lot of blocked UDP packets from various IP's directed at port 55881 in particular. Occasionally, I'll also get attempted TCP connection requests to port 23, 445, and some ports in the 8000's. If this is something to worry about, what can I do to configure my system so that I can be at ease (or close enough)?

As a device, which faces internet, I guess it's normal for the router to detect some connection attempts either by mistake, or from port scanners, kids, etc...
The services run on your machines, not on the router. The only one on the router should be either telnet or httpd for configuration. In order to protect your internal network, you only need to disable remote adminitstration on the router (or whatever it is called in your case, that is the router should be accessible for administration only from the LAN) and port forwarding (also on the router, so that requests are not forwarded to the LAN).

Awdd_2013-01-27-1.consolidated.metriclog What does this mean? Is it just a crash or something to worry about?

I found this on diagnostics, I assume its just a small crash, as crashes a happen all the time, it's on an iPad mini. I worry a lot about stuff like this, so dont worry me unnecessarily please! :) it is not jail broken.

It's nothing to worry about. It is a crash report. I have them as well. There is no need to concern yourself with those reports unless your iPad is constantly crashing. If it is, you need to do something to try to stop the crashes, and if you can't, then you would need to Contact an Apple Store for help.
Stay away from those diagnostics data reports, use your iPad and enjoy it.

Something to worry about? - Security issue?

iMac
OSX 10.10.1
Transfer of files from a USB Flash Drive
1) - Transferred file from one USB FlashDrive to another USB FlashDrive.
2) - Attempted to eject USB devices - Window appeared stating Finder is using device (it wasn't!) - eventually they were ejected.
3) - Spotlight Search identified a number of MAIL & MESSAGE items (recent emails with subject details)
4) - Could not open these - when I attempted to I got this on the right side of the search window :-
5) - a four digit .emix file (which could not be opened) and below this in grey were the initials sw vers -
underneath this was the message Created Application <DNL>
6) - Attempting to open the .emix file produced a window with the message :-
You do not have permission to open the document " .emix".
Contact your computer or network administrator for assistance..
Has a DNL application been created?
What does this mean if it has?
And ... Is it something for me to worry about?

HD Load_Cycle_Count, something to worry about?

I installed a brand new 500 GB 7200 rpm Seagate Momentus 7200.4 ST9500420AS hard drive in my Early 2009 Intel Mac mini to replace the failed 1.5 year old 500 GB 5400 rpm Hitachi HTS545050B9SA02 recently. The new Seagate drive works OK.
Then I happened to see some web pages indicating that some HDs might be "pre-programmed" to fail in about 5 years because they too eagerly park their heads every 20 seconds when idling. My brand-new drive had parked its heads about 30.000 times during its first month of moderate use according to smartctl unix tool or Volitans Software's SMART Utility:
http://mymacfixes.blogspot.com/2009/06/how-do-i-stop-clicking-noise-from-hard.ht ml
http://mac.softpedia.com/get/System-Utilities/smartctl.shtml
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/smartmontools/wiki
http://www.volitans-software.com/smart_utility.php
The drive spec's seem to indicate that it should take at least 600.000 such Load/Unload Cycles. But at this pace, the drive will meet that figure in two years.
This web page has a cure for that:
http://mymacfixes.blogspot.com/2009/06/how-do-i-stop-clicking-noise-from-hard.ht ml
Now, I'm not sure if this is something an end user should be worried about. Just parking the head without spinning down and up the disk seems inncocent and might be good for laptops that get tossed around. Hitachi has a page describing the technology:
http://www.hitachigst.com/tech/techlib.nsf/techdocs/9076679E3EE4003E86256FAB0058 25FB/$file/LoadUnload_white_paper_FINAL.pdf
Anyway, yesterday I installed hdapm and now the Load_Cycle_Count doesn't grow so fast anymore and the Mac mini works as usual.
http://mckinlay.net.nz/hdapm/

Hi, jmsy. Paying attention to your hard drive's load cycle count is something you absolutely, positively don't need to do. It's like counting the number of times the wheels on your car turn. Sure, there's a relationship there between usage and lifespan. But you're going to use the car as much as you have to, and replace its tires and the car itself when necessary, and you'll know when those things are necessary without counting tire revolutions all along the way.
Back up your hard drive, keep the backup(s) up to date, and replace the drive when it fails (or, perhaps more likely, when your storage needs outgrow it). Forget about load cycles.

Got a Lenovo G50-70 computer running windows 8.1. Got a pop up says Adobe Air needs to be updated asks when do you want to update. Is this legitimate? I'm worried about viruses, worms. thanks.

The popup says An Adobe AIR update is ready to be installed.
I'm not sure it's really a message from Adobe.
I may not have any need to use AIR if it was installed on my computer by Lenovo or Windows 8.1.
My last computer had a popup that was, I think, a worm which told me I needed to update Flash Player Pro.
So, I'm nervous now about popup messages. I wish all legitimate programs could have options to Automatically install updates.
Can someone tell me if the popup sounds legitimate? Some programs give you a third option of No Thanks but this one just has a box to click for Update Now and a box for Update Later.
Thanks.

Shouldn't be a problem. Just like Windows Update, Adobe AIR needs to update itself periodically. Just click Update Now to update to the latest version.

Something to worry about ? IBM recruiting for Hyperion consultants

Just seem IBM posting about Hyperion. They have Cognos and Hyperion is their rival product.
Does this seem strange ?

Was it for IBM Global Services by any chance? They have a Hyperion practice, or least they did a year or so ago.
A quick Google search shows a bunch of hits in India. Perhaps they are starting up an offshore EPM staffing business? Good luck on that...

Is this disk diagnostic anything to worry about?

I'm running a 2011 27" imac. I keep getting this Verify Disk alert on a pretty regular basis. I don't honestly detect any performance issues with the computer. Should I be concerned aboutn this error. I do repair it, but it keeps returning.
Any advice would be welcome. Thanks.

You cannot repair the startup disk from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

HT1476 i heard that if you let the battery drain to zero that it could hurt the battery life (like if it goes to zero the battery life would go down from like maybe 10 hours, to 8 hours. just an example.) is this true because ive been worried about my bat

i really want all my devices working at full capacity especially the battery and i want more info on the care of it. like should i charge a device for a specific time the first time i get it, and if its ok to let a battery go to zero and if overcharging is bad. by the way i have an ipod nano 5g, ipod shuffle 4g an ipod touch 4g, an iphone 5s, a ps vita, a surface rt, and im planning to get a macbook pro. ive had some of these devices for a while and some are fairly new. i really want to make these devices last and i dont want to have to replace them for any reason.
please help and thanks.

It is not good for Lithium chemistry batteries to become fully discharged, however, iPads, iPhones and iPods will shut off before the battery is fully drained. That is, when the phone goes from 1% to 0% and shuts off there is still plenty of charge on the battery. However, you should not let it sit for a long time after it shuts off, as the phone still uses some power even in this state. So if the phone shuts off due to low power you should charge it within a day or two.
You also cannot overcharge an iDevice. The charger is actually in the device; it is not the adapter that you plug into the wall. That is just a 5 volt power source. And the charger in the device will stop charging when the device reaches full charge.
One advantage of Lithium batteries is that they have no "memory effect". That is, you don't have to fully drain them before charging, and you can connect them to a charger at whatever the current state of charge, and remove them from the charger if necessary before they reach full charge. None of these activities will shorten the life of the battery.
It is a good idea to run the battery all the way down, then charge to 100% every month or so. But this is to recalibrate the battery gauge, it is not to "condition" the battery.

Dump Analysis: High ITAB-name-numbers - s.th. to worry about?

Hi Folks,
I'm currently involved with a project implementing SAP CRM-Service and while analysing some dumps for error TSV_TNEW_OCCURS_NO_ROLL_MEMORY I noticed that the number of lines in the internal tables wasn't all that high but that the internally assigned numbers for the itab-names where a lot higher than anything I have seen so far. I'm therefore now wondering if this is something to worry about or if this "normal" for a CRM-Service system.

I'm used to seeing eg. IT_123 but not these 9 digits long numbers. As the routine this abended in is called from one of our custom-programs I'm just a bit concerned that some internal tables might not be properly cleared/refreshed/freed after usage.
Thanks for any feedback you have!
Cheers
Baerbel
P.S.: I'm sorry for not participating more in the forums but work just keeps interfering!

Hi Samuel,
thanks for your quick reply!
To answer your question, I_IBINWA_REC is just a workarea not an internal table. And all the tables I see in the dump-information don't have many entries, they seem all to be in the 1 or at most 2-digit range. This low number of entries compared to the high number of itab-names is what actually had me worried. Something has to be filling up the available memory and I'd like to pinpoint what it is.
It is possible that the program got squeezed from all sides as it abended during conversion activity with lots of activity in the system.
I am glad to read, though, that these high itab-numbers are seen elsewhere as well!
Cheers
Baerbel

these messages are harmless and should be ignored. the ARD message one indicates that you might not be running the latest version of leopard. is that right? your profile does indicate 10.5.5 which is the latest.

My macbook pro keeps logging me out whenever I try to software update. How do I get it to stop and is this something I need to worry about?

Recently my macbook started logging me out at random times and then I thought that maybe if I updated the software it won't do it anymore but whenever I go to click on the software update icon it logs me out. I'm worried that this might be something serious. Any ideas?

You've posted this once already.

Do I need to worry about this?

It has been an interesting few months with my one year old 13" MBP. Lots of spinning beach balls followed by a hard drive crash. Apple was quick to replace the hard drive. And as I had everything backed up on Time Machine I was able to quickly restore everything.
All was good for a few months until the beachballs, freezes, and finder crahes began again. Made another trip to the Genius bar where they thought I might have re-downloaded a corrupt file from Time Machine. They cleaned my temp files and caches and things seemed to work well in the store.
When I returned home I had the same issues. They had prepared me for this. So a system restore, a re mount and re start of time capsule and everything seems to be working well. Speedy, no crashes, no freezes.
The issue is that I wanted to double check so I ran disk verify and permission verify on the disk utility. To my surprise it came back with a LONG error log as below. So long, I could not get it all into this post. But it seems like a recurrent message. Do I need to worry about any of this? What should I do next, if anything? Thanks in advance for your response.

You definitely need to repair your disk. If you can, boot from something else, such an external disk or the system discs that came with your Mac. You can also cause the disk to be repaired by booting into "Safe Mode": http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564 . If that process can't repair your disk, you may need one of the more-powerful disk utilities such as Disk Warrior.
