JAVA 1.6.0_22 UPDATE CREATED NEW ERRORS IN DISK UTILITY.CORRECTED POST

THIS IS A CORRECTED VERSION OF MY ORIGINAL POST AS IT MIGHT HAVE HAVE BEEN UNCLEAR. Permissions Verify and Repair Messages after Updating Java SE 6 to 1.6.0_22
Posted: Oct 21, 2010 3:49 PM
THIS IS A CORRECTED VERSION OF A POST THAT I ALREADY MADE. AS YOU READ THIS PLEASE NOTE THAT THE FIRST SET OF VERIFY PERMISSIONS THAT YOU SEE HAVE ALREADY GONE THRU THE REPAIR PROCESS BUT THEY REMAIN AFTER I REPAIRED THEM AND THEN VERIFIED THEM AGAIN.
NEXT YOU WILL SEE VERIFYING AFTER THE NEW JAVE 1.6.0_22 UPDATE FROM YESTERDAY, OCTOBER 20, 2010,
I VERIFIED, REPAIRED, VERIFIED, REPAIRED AND IT NEVER REPAIRS. EACH TIME IT SAYS REPAIRED I VERIFY IT AGAIN AND IT STILL SHOWS THE SAME ERRORS.
I AM NOT CONCERNED WITH THE ERRORS PRIOR TO THE UPDATE. I AM CONCERNED WITH THE ERRORS THAT I HAVE AFTER THE JAVA UPDATE.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

Yesterday I installed the latest Java update. PRIOR to the update these were 'errors' showed when I ran Disk Utility:

NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I CLICK REPAIR IT DOES NOT REPAIR. I JUST KEEP GOING IN CIRCLES. AS YOU CAN SEE BY THIS UPDATED VERSION OF MY ORIGINAL POST.
ANY HELP IS MOST APPRECIATED AS APPLE SAYS IT IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM AS IT IS 3RD PARTY SOFTWARE AND MY WARRANTY EXPIRES IN 5 DAYS SO I AM HOPING SOMEBODY OUT THERE CAN HELP ME.
AGAIN -- THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIDS MATTER.

Greetings William,
Not one of my errors is on that list!
I am more concerned about the ones that start with "User" then I am of the others.
The only reason that I ran the update is because of the errors that I had on the disk before the update came out yesterday.
I had called Apple last week about the original errors and was told that the new update would resolve my issues; however, as you can see not only did it NOT resolve the original errors but created several new ones!
Today I see that Apple is discontinuing use of Java!
Also, I have 5 days left on my 3 year warranty with Apple and now they are telling me it is not their problem as it is a third party software. I will do one more clean install and will not do the last Java update that I did yesterday.
In any case I appreciate your input and wish you well.
Again -- thank you for your attention to this matter.
Mara

  • Java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: unable to create new native thread on Win2000

    Dear all,
    I install a java server (SAP J2EE) on the windows machine and run into the following problem: the total number of threads cannot exceed 1200 (as i see this in the task manager)
    After it does reach this number no other tasks can be started. Thereafter i get java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: unable to create new native thread error .
    However the other machine where the same distribution of Win2000 Server is installed can easily coupe with more than 2500 theads. The same is true when the safe mode on the first machine is on: I can generate more than 1200 threads. So it seems the problem has something to do with Windows itself.
    I am really puzzled here, would really appreciate any help.
    Thanks in advance,

    well, i do not supply any options when i start jvm, but it is not the course:
    it also happens with c programs. however in the safe mode it works. both for c and for java program.
    so it must be either some software (however memory is ok) or ...? i am lost. In some Unix system you can set the total number of threads allowed as an option in the kernal. But i guess this is not the case with windows.

    This only tells you that the JVM is running out of heap space. It doesn't tell you what is causing the problem. You likely have a memory leak, but you could also try increasing the max heap size of the JVM (-Xmx command line option). It would help to watch the % mem in use statistic, but only immediately after a garbage collection cycle (you can force a GC from the admin console). If the % mem in use after the GC is increasing over time, then that likely confirms you have a memory leak. Note that looking at that statistic during the server startup probably is irrelevant. You'd need to wait until the server finishes starting up, and likely processed a few messages (to load static data).
    If you get to the point of confirming that you have a memory leak, that requires doing detailed analysis with a Java profiler (JProfiler, JProbe, YourKit, etc.) to track down the source of the leak.

  • Disk Management Tool error in Disk Utility

    Update: (first, reviewing problem that I and others have been having, including on 10.4.x systems):
    When I attempt to repair permissions on my HD with Disk Utility, I get this specific error message: "Disk Utility internal error -- Disk Utility has lost its connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility" and the repair-permissions will not proceed. It fails to get the proper "correct" permissions info for that drive to allow the repair. The error log points to a file in the Library called "DiskManagementToll" The path is ~/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DiskManagement.framework/Resources/DiskManag ementTool)
    This problem is appearing in many forums here and elsewhere, including 10.4.x systems (like mine) and persists in a few after deleting suggested files. Is there a sophisticated solution that addresses the problem through the DiskManagementTool file by replacing some values or replacing the file from a backup vis SUDO or Root?
    Previous posts have focused on Macs running 10.3.x and with iTunes 6.0x installed. Not here, so the problem is more general. None of the "delete iTunes / plists / Chess.app" suggested fixes have worked for me. Also tried running DU from my Tiger install disk; no luck! -- still fails when it tries to determine the correct permissions.
    The "DiskManagementTool" file apparently either stores the correct file permissions or handles reading them from the receipts in the Library. If I understand things right, Disk Utility is actually a (user)-permissioned graphic front end, while DiskManagementTool is a Root-user-level tool that actually does the heavy lifting. Can I replace -- and any benefit to that -- or rewrite it with proper access?
    There is a complete crash log report in Crash Reporter, by the way. Anyone want the text, and would it help figure out what's happening?
    I've tried the suggested deletion of iTunes 6.0.2 or Chess.app and their plists (these and other steps were suggested on MacFixIt at http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20060111090035797 the advice is, basically, to delete iTunes 6.0.2 and/or Chess.app and related plist files.) As I said, no luck!
    Everyone that I talk to says it MUST be the fault of some other 3rd-party disk utility software.
    For what it's worth, I HAVE run Disk Warrior -- and, the drive that's having the problem is a recent reinstall from a backup using Carbon Copy Cloner. The original disk is NOT having such a problem, only the hard drive on my iBook after the reinstall. Don't know if that gives any clues (or to how the link gets somehow disengaged between Disk Utility and the Disk Management Tool file / software).
    Any thoughts on that? What about replacing the Disk Management Tool file in the Library or forcing some kind of re-link to it? some Unix guru MUST know a fix!
    Obviously, the big worry for me is that I can't update my System to 10.4.5 or anything else without repairing permissions first. This IS a big deal. And others are having the same problem. Help?!?
    New 2 GHz dual g5 , Dual g4, & iBook G4 (recent) Mac OS X (10.4.4)

    A system problem was involved that became, briefly, a "known issue" that was solved in the next minor update. Solved, anyway, by the advice given by the last poster. Thanks! SJ

  • Errors in Disk Utility

    Hello. I was wondering for some opinions. i was having some problems with permission errors in disk utility so they wanted me to erase and install with a new disc set. So I completely erased the disc and reinstalled just the software on the mac os x discs. Now, after running typical software update and now I have 492 pages of permission errors. I ran it three times so far and it is still coming up with 492 errors on it.
    What could be causing this?

    Hi,
    *"i was having some problems with permission errors in disk utility so they wanted me to erase and install with a new disc set."*
    Who is they? Apple?
    You have 492 pages of permissions messages or 492 messages?
    It won't do any good to keep running it. Go here for information on permissions you can ignore. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448

  • Drive has reported a fatal error to Disk Utility, HELP ME PLEASE!!!

    I'm a little worried my Macbook Pro has become an overpriced paperweight.
    Here's what happened:
    I had a spare 512MB RAM, which was taken out of my 24" iMac Intel Core 2 Duo when I replced it with a 1GB RAM and, after checking several sources on the web, successfully installed the extra RAM in the MBP.
    I restarted the MBP and the new RAM was registered after checking in About this Mac. I then began using the MBP as normal and wrote and saved a Word document. I clicked on the email and Safari icons in the dock and they just kept bouncing in the dock without launching. Pressed Power button - nothing. Took out the battery and replaced it after 30secs and pressed power button. All I got was the grey screen with the Apple logo and the winding circle which stayed like that for 20 minutes.
    First reaction was to remove the RAM and restart. Same endless grey screen and winding circle.
    Rebooted from CD, checked disk and repaired and said everything was OK. Restarted without CD still nothing.
    Tried Archive and Install and came back with an error during installation.
    Tried Erase and Install - same error.
    Tried to select startup disk and it no longer could find my HD yet Disk Utility could find it and told me everything was OK. Tried resetting PRAM nothing.
    Tried to erase the HD and nothing happened. Erasing a HD takes some time, but everytime I hit erase 10 seconds later it was back to the same point where I began
    Next tried to create one single partition and struck the message Drive has reported a fatal hardware error to disk utility. Even the lettering for the main drive is now in red.
    Do I need to replace the hard drive altogether or is there a solution to this problem. Was it the RAM that brought me undone or was that just a coincidence?
    PLEASE HELP ME!!!

    make sure that you haven't used it yet as RAM can only be used in one machine, not transferred to another one (like you did).
    Sorry, but that's completely untrue, and I don't know where you might have read or heard such a fallacy. RAM has no registration that even tells a system that it's been used, much less a key that would make it work only in one system. As long as the RAM is properly compatible and precautions are taken not to shock a system with static electricity while removing or inserting the component or causing mechanical damage, a RAM module can be swapped between systems as often as desired.

  • Reported Fatal Hardware Error to Disk Utility

    I see the following message in my Power Book G4 Disk Utility:
    "This drive has Reported Fatal Hardware Error to Disk Utility. If drive has not failed completely, back up as much data as you can and then replace it with a new drive."
    I already made a back up my Home folder to my external HD. The install disk utility reports the same and has grey the repair uptions.
    The spinning beachball appears constantly when using Safari and iTunes. What should I do?

    If your Mac is no longer under the standard 1-yr warranty period or under the 3-yr extended warranty if you purchased the AppleCare extended warranty for your PB, you need to purchase a new internal hard drive that is compatible with your Mac model. This is something you can install yourself or take your Mac to an Apple authorized repair facility to purchase and have a new internal hard drive installed.
    The repair facility should include re-installing whichever OX version and all software that was pre-installed and shipped with this Mac when purchased new. If this wasn't Tiger and you purchased a Tiger retail install package, you can re-install the Tiger upgrade yourself and then replace all data from your backup on the new hard drive.

  • Endless errors on disk utility

    My 2nd internal hard drive in 2.5 years just died on my iMac G5. Apple is coming on-site to fix. During the 1st hard drive death, I installed the operating system on an external drive and was able to work from that drive. I assume this was legal since I was discussing all these things with AppleCare as the int harddrive died (over the course of a week of AppleCare calls). Doing this allowed me to save a substantial amt of data. Since then I have used this drive as a backup drive, rathern than as an operating system.
    Now, I'm trying the same thing with the 2nd internal hard drive death. After booting up to the external drive, the first thing I did was upgrade from 10.4 to 10.4.8. I restarted the computer using the exteral drive. The Mac OSX setup assistant wouldn't connect. I tried to disconnect and it wouldn't disconnect, either. I Force Quitted out of the setup assistant. The 2nd thing I did was run disk utility and verify permissions. It said I had no valid packages. I copied BaseSystem.pkg and Essentials.pkg into the Library. Now disk utility gives me absolutely endless errors, all of them "User differs on..." followed by "Group differs on..."
    Since this is mainly a backup disk, all my files are under ExtHD/ rather than a user. I don't know anything about packages--I read the above on an earlier post and it got rid of the "No valid packages" error on Disk Utility when I first ran it. I don't know anything about receipts, etc. About the only thing I know is that I have two libraries, one for the main hard drive and one for the user.
    I'd like to keep this external drive as a bootable system. I want to be able to run Disk Utility to clean it up. Any suggestions?
    iMac G5, MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  
    iMac G5, MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    So I can do an archive and install, and then when the fresh Tiger is on there, would I upgrade to 10.4.8 right then? Then I suppose I copy all my backed up files to the correct user directories?
    How much memory do I need on that hard drive to archive and install? I'm assuming it archives on the same hard disk. Does that mean I have to have less than 1/2 of the memory used, so it can back itself up, or does it erase old data as it archives, freeing up memory space?
    Thanks for your input!

  • CVS update "Create New Folders" unavailable

    Summary:
    The Create New Folders checkbox in the Update from CVS options selection window is always inactive. I am using JDeveloper 10g v9.0.5.0.0.1375 Preview with "CVS Client Version: (CVSNT) 2.0.11 (client/server)".
    Detail:
    After having checked out a module from CVS and working with it for a few hours, I decide that I want to get the latest files and versions from the repository. So I right click on the project, go to Versioning, then click on Update. In order to get the latest directory structure (including any new files contained therein) from CVS I need to check the "Create New Folders" checkbox. Unfortunately this checkbox is perpetually inactive (grayed out). I can't figure out how to activate it.
    Any suggestions? Right now, as a work around, I rename the working directory, do another module checkout, then move any of my changes from the previous working directory to the new one. This is obviously very cumbersome so I really need some way to perform a 'cvs update -d' on the working directory.

    Hi,
    Thanks for reporting this. It's a known issue that will be resolved in the production release.

    I’m wondering if this has something to do with my upgrade to Lion (OS 10.7.4) yesterday from Snow Leopard.
    This error occurs on both my home and work iMacs. It seems to reliably occur about 1/2 way through typing in my password. The error occurs whether I use 128 or 256 AES encryption.
    There is more than adequate space on the hard drive I am attempting to place this image on. Disk Utility is version 12.1.1 (353) and all is running on a 2.66 GHz Intel Core i5 iMac.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you
    PS: This is a duplicate post from the OS Lion forums ( https://discussions.apple.com/message/18410534#18410534 ), but since a) it occurs on both my Intel iMacs, b) I totally rely on Disk Utility's capabilities, so this loss with the Lion upgrade really hurts, and c) we've had no luck in the Lion forums, we're hoping someone here has seen this issue and can help. Much appreciated.

    Hello, I believe that's an authentication error, thinks your not an admin account. Might try this...
    Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, move this folder to the Desktop for now...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/ByHost /
    reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

  • Error using Disk Utility 'New Image'

    I keep trying to make a new image of DVD's using Disk Utility, but it keeps giving me an error message. I'm at work right now and can't remember the specific message, but I've tried several times and it keeps interrupting the process. I've made copies before without any problems, then all of a sudden this started. I still have about 26 gigs free on the hard drive, and these discs are nowhere near that much memory. Anybody have this problem or know how to solve it?

    I was able to extract the video from DVD to .m4v format using handbrake. I still could not get iMovie to recognize the file. I then changed the .m4v to .mov and it was recognized. Once I edited my movie I did not realize that sharing would take sooo long to burn back to iDVD. I had a 56 min video clip and it took 3-4 hours to share. I was up all night, but I have a DVD to turn in for my ALCMS training video. Hope this helps!

  • No valid packages error in Disk Utility

    I have been experiencing some problems with my eMac so I thought I would get Disk Utility to check my HD over. First I started by checking Permissions to which I get the following error.
    Repairing permissions for “Macintosh HD”
    Error: No valid packages (-9997)
    I restarted using my install disk. When I ran Disk Utitlity it reported no problem with the HD. I did a repair run anyway, just in case. Then tried to repair permissions once more. Still the above error.
    I had about 10mb of free space left on my HD a couple of weeks ago. After some clearance work however it is now back to just under 10GB free space.
