Kernel Panic's under certain conditions

Is there anyone else getting a Kernel Panic anytime iTunes is running concurrently with Adobe Photoshop CS2 and Adobe Bridge? Or am I the only lucky one? This is happening with enough frequency such that I am begining to wonder if this v10.4.7 thinks it is now part of the Microsoft family.
Any input greatly appreciated. The latest Panic.Log below:

LOL! Thanks. Been in IT for 23 years. I disabled the Widgets pursuant to the URL provided. E.g., I'm taking the least path of resistance first.

3. Widgets
Some poorly written widgets for Mac OS X 10.4 access memory in ways that the system was not designed to accept. One such widget that has since been updated to avoid kernel panics is Ministat. If you recently downloaded a widget, try disabling it to see if it makes a difference. To disable a widget under Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.4.1 you can use Widget Manager. With Mac OS X 10.4.2, Apple has created a special widget called Manage Widgets which can be activated by enabling the widget toolbar (hit the + with the circle around it in the bottom left corner).

  • Displaying negative numbers under certain conditions

    I have a Crystal Report which I am developing and need to display positive numbers as negative, but only under certain conditions.  I did not see anything on this type of questions so I decided to join and post it up myself.  This is a transfer report so if the location number entered in the parameter list is the SHIPPING location, I need to display retail, cost, and totals as negative.  Here is the formula which I came up with for ext cost, but it is returning all zeros.  I cannot seperate the to and from locations in the parameters because this report needs to display both in and out of that location.
    if totext({?loc}) = totext({Command.SHIP_FROM}) then ({Command.EXT_COST}*-1)
    Any suggestions?  Appreciate the help!

    Hi Jon,
    If it returns zeroes, then it means that this part of the code fails:
    totext({?loc}) = totext({Command.SHIP_FROM})
    Do you have records where the value entered in the 'loc' prompt matches with records in the SHIP_FROM column on the report?
    See if this helps:
    if totext({?loc},0,"") = totext({Command.SHIP_FROM},0,"") then ({Command.EXT_COST}*-1)

  • Skip product allocation under certain conditions

    Hi everyone. We are trying to use EXIT_SAPLQUOT_001 which is supposed to be running prior to product allocation, so we can set up parameter E_AFLAG so that this functionality is skipped under certain conditions.
    Exit documentation says:
    User Exit: SD Product Allocation, Enhanced Checks
    Functionality
    The user exit is called up before reviewing the confirmed quantities against discrete allocations (from 3.0F).
    Before this happens, the availibilty check is carried out if this is switched on in Customizing (ATP or against pre-planning). The results of this are transferred to product allocation.
    You can carry out the following tasks with this function module:
    1. You can switch off or miss out product allocation (E_AFLAG). This can be general or depending on characteristic values. Other values to help make this decision can be imported from the order coding memory.
    However, the exit doesn't seem to be triggered during sales order processing. It takes us straight into the product allocation screen, ignoring the breakpoint and the skipping instruction.
    Any ideas? Anybody is using this exit for this purpose? We run product allocation without running ATP. Could this be the problem?
    Thanks!

    sounds like this the problem.
    as I understand,
    if running ATP, EXIT_SAPLQUOT_001 is hit, based on your logic, prod alloc is skipped.
    elseif ATP is turned off, EXIT_SAPLQUOT_001 is skipped, by default prd alloc is executed.
    try setup break points on prod. alloc to see if you could have alternative flag to control...
    go to debug mode and check call stacks to find another place to set break point.

  • Kernel panics whenever RAID card conditions battery

    I have an early 2008 Mac Pro running 10.5.8, with an Apple RAID card with M-2.0.5.5 firmware. This has two Seagate Barracuda drives attached, formatted as RAID 0, and this RAID 0 is the OS drive.
    Periodically, the RAID card conditions the battery. In the past I've been able to work while this was happening but, about three weeks ago, the conditioning started and the computer became completely unusable: there were kernel panics every minute or two and, on restarting, the report showed "AppleRAIDCard Controller Panic...". I eventually gave up and left it alone until the conditioning finished, and it's worked fine since.
    This situation has just started again. It's only three weeks since the last conditioning; the gap was 6 weeks last time; and 12 weeks the time before that. Is the battery failing? Does that explain the constant AppleRAIDCard Controller-initiated kernel panics?
    I didn't set up this computer and could happily live without RAID but this OS drive now has lots of software installed, much of which needed to be authorised by challenges/responses and explanations to software manufacturers as to why it was being reinstalled etc. Reformatting and reinstalling everything again would be a major PITA.
    Is it possible to move the drives to a software RAID 0 without reformatting them? Is this likely to be less problematic than the Apple RAID card?
    Thanks in advance,
    Steve = : ^ )

    I'd just like someone to comment on whether they think the battery alone could be responsible for unending KPs whenever the controller is conditioning the battery, or whether the card might be faulty.
    I wonder about both points.
    Did some searching, and there are several reports of other users with battery problems.
    For some, the battery fixed the problem, for others, no remedy.
    One example:
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=439873
    For troubleshooting, identifying the source through eliminating causes related to the symptoms would be a reasonable approach.
    Since the KP's occur only during battery conditioning, it places the most suspicion on the battery.
    Personally, I see this as most telling.
    Since you can't run without the battery, a replacement is the only way that I can think of to test the battery.
    Other possibilities could be firmware related.
    Is the card and the MP running the most current firmware?
    If the firmware of the card and the MP are up to date, the battery, again, comes to the top of the suspect list.
    And, of course, there is always the possibility that a component on card has failed.
    Unfortunately, as with the battery, a replacement is needed to test.
    I wouldn't move on this point until the battery theory were tested.
    Not to dismiss the potential for software involvement, I'm wondering what are the OS X kexts that are involved with the processes leading to the KP's?
    Logs in Console may provide some information.
    Portions of the KP report immediately after the word "backtrace" also provide the best information.

  • Monitor fades out under certain conditions

    Hello all,
    This seems more of a hardware issue than anything however I hope to gain some insight by posting about this problem here. Whenever I'm being presented with a screen that has little or no text (i.e.: login screen at CLI) my monitor will fade out to black. If enough text starts to fill the screen, it will fade back in. It happens consistently under these conditions. My video setup is a nVidia GeForce 8800GT and an ASUS VH238H LED Monitor. Also mind you this is a fresh install of Arch. Has anyone else had faced this issue? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

    Is it DPMS https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Di … _Signaling ?
    It will kick in after 10 minutes of inactivity e.g. when you don't move your mouse or press any key - is this the condition you're experiencing?

  • "Moo" = Right fan repeatedly spinning up and down under certain conditions

    I am pretty certain I have figured out what is causing the "moo". Here is my theory based on a couple of weeks of experimentation...
    It is the right fan starting up and stopping. Again..and again...and again. It does this in response to temperature changes. But the threshold is too sensitive so what happens is an increase in temperature triggers the fan, the fan winds up and in so doing after a couple of seconds this immediately drops the temperature below the threshold and so the fan winds down. The temperature now builds and after a couple of seconds the fan spins up again. It will keep doing this until either activity falls so that the temperature stays below threshold or continuos activity ensures the temperature stays high enough to keep the fan on at low speed (when it is generally quiet unless there is a heavy load).
    I will guess the cause is probably a faulty sensor, faulty fan or most likely faulty fan control logic since this is clearly happening with a lot of MBPs. If it is the latter then presumably they need only change the firmware controlling the fan to make it start slower and stay on longer.
    Why doesn't everyone hear it?
    a. Like most fan type noises they are only apparent in a quiet room - as most people work in rooms full of white noise they simply will not hear it even if it happens.
    b. Some people have better hearing and are more sensitive to noise.
    c. It needs the right set of hardware and sofware activities to trigger the problem...............
    In my particular case I typically have my 2.0ghz MBP connected to an external monitor, ethernet and external USB mouse on the right side of the MBP. When I am using the MBP standalone (ie without more heat being generated) the noise does not occur as often, presumably because when idling less heat is generated.
    As you change what you are doing with the machine (not sure if its CPU or Video related changes that matter most) the noise will start or stop happening. Doing absolutely nothing typically means the noise does not happen so often, but then again it can be sitting doing nothing and it will start happening. Doing a bit means (say 10-30% CPU) means it will make a noise , doing a moderate amount (say above 40% CPU) means it does not happen because the temperature stays high and the fan stays on - generally being quiet at low speed. If you push the machine (say 80% CPU) then a louder fan noise is noticeable. I have also found that opening/closing the lid (when using an external monitor) makes a difference, the surface it is on makes a difference and the room temperature probably does as well.
    A good way to experience this is to start Garageband recording the noise when it happens since the additional load stops the noise. The spin up/down cycle will continue for 4 or 5 cycles as you record the noise but then the fan remains on very low speed as a new higher thermal equilibrium is achieved.
    For reference I am on my 2nd MBP (the first also had this problem but it was less noticeable) and have experienced most the other noises:
    a. Left Fan always runs on both machines
    b. Screen buzz when not on full brightness on 1st MBP not in on 2nd.
    c. CPU whine was not on 1st MPB but it is on the 2nd - but only at low level and only if running on battery power.
    I have a couple of other irritating problems:
    d. Screen dims after 2 minutes regardless of power setting etc.
    e. Fit of 1st MBP was great, 2nd not so good.
    Personally I find the fan spinup/down noise very very annoying, far more so than the left fan always being on. I really do need Apple to fix it, but I dont see the point of sending the machine in unless they recognize the problem and have a systemic solution since clearly this is common problem. Otherwise the chances are a tech will plug it in standalone in a noisy repair shop, hear nothing and either do nothing or never know if its fixed or not. So far no intelligent response from Applecare......If I can figure this Apple ought to be able to and get a fix.
    And no I would not recommend buying a MBP until this problem is fixed if you are at all sensitive to noise and work somewhere quiet - because it appears to be a gamble as to whether you will get a quiet MBP or not. That's a shame since otherwise its a very slick machine.

    I agree with u; however:
    -The left fan that's always on is the Hard Drive - listen to the hard drive to the left of the trackpad and you'll realize that it is coming from there.
    -My "moo" sound comes from my LEFT fan. So if it's a firmware issue, why would the side of the fan affected by the problem varry? this leads me to the worrying assumption that it is a hardware issue...If this is the case, who knows if apple will even cover it under warranty if it doesn't affect the performance of the system...

  • RAW import looks odd under certain conditions

    Hi All,
    Every so often, when I import images from either my Canon EOS D30 or my Canon Powershot G3, I find that the colours in the decoded RAW image look very odd (these were generally pictures taken under extreme lighting conditions). I've attempted to fiddle with the colour temperature and tint to try and compensate but it still looks very wrong.
    However, if I convert these images using the utilities that were provided by Canon for Windoze then the colours seem to come up right - unfortunately I can't seem to find the same set of utilities for the Mac
    Does anyone have an idea of whether this is an issue with the RAW decode on the Mac or whether there is some additional setting that I need to fiddle to get it right?
    I have posted the original image produced by the Mac RAW decoder and the Canon decoder (under windoze) over here if anyone is interested in seeing the difference:
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/62993825@N00/
    BTW, I have the latest RAW decoder updates, latest aperture updates and Mac OS X updates.
    Cheers,
    Emil.

    Emil,
    I was able to bring both JPEGs into Aperture and get the color nearly identical by doing as you describe above -- moving the Tint slider to -150 -- but then selecting the magenta square in the Color adjustment panel and sliding the Hue slider towards red (to about 30) and sliding the Range slider all the way to the right (to 2.00).
    BTW, in addition to clicking the left arrow to go beyond their slider ranges in the number input boxes, you can also click on the number input box and when the cursor turns to an I-bar with triangles on either side, you can just click and drag the number to a value higher than the slider will allow.

  • How to make a file explorer work under certain conditions

    Good afternoon,
    I have built a VI that is basically a file explorer that lets you import data to another application, when a button is clicked, you can navigate throught the directories of your pc searching for a txt file to import and plot some ghraphs. I used the property node "Visible" to show up this file explorer as a window, so every time i click the button, it shows up, but I realize it is processing even if its not being used, like a process running in second plan, thats why I want to make it different, I want to make it run only when the button aforementioned is on true, and to make it I have tried stuff like wiring the button to the loop condition, using a case structure with the button wired and nothing seems to work. How could I do that?
    I appreciate your help,

    First of all, thank you for your answer, Hooovahh. I am not an expert programmer, I really dont know the problems around the infinite loop, and dont know what are the issues around thhe abort execution, could you tell me?
    To understand this idea, think of yourself as a VI.  You're sent to cook a full meal in the kitchen.  This meal is complex enough it'll require several burners, the sink, a cutting board, and trips to the fridge and cupboards.  I tell you to start cooking and you go about your business getting things going.  At some point, I come in and drag you out of the kitchen and don't allow you to go back.  What state is the kitchen in?  Is the fridge open?  Is the freezer open?  Are the burners on?  Is the oven on?  Is the oven closed?  Will things on the stove boil over creating a mess and potentially a fire?  Who knows?  You're creating the same mess when you hit the abort button.  You're forcing yourself into an uncertain situation that may cause more problems than taking the thirty seconds it'd take to turn your burners off, turn off the oven, and close the fridge door.  You WANT to have a cleanup routine in case things need to stop similar to getting the kitcen into a safe state before leaving.
    With an embedded system, there isn't the typical user interface so if it stops, it's likely stopped for a LONG time.  These typically run infinitely until something goes wrong and they shut themselves down.  When you can put a stop button on the front panel and use that, it makes worlds more sense than leaving the kitchen in disarray.

  • Prevent infotype 0416 from being created under certain conditions

    Hi,
    Based on an advanced leave formula I can determine at runtime whether or not the infotype 416 record should be created or not. The formula is working.
    What is not working is that I need to find a way to prevent the 416 record from being created when the formula returns certain values. I have looked at ZXPADU02 and various other user exits and badi's but to no avail. The ZXPADU02 does not have the field which needs to be checked i.e. PA04160-NUMBR.
    Regards,
    Warren.

    Hi,
    The data is in INNNN structure.
    Write this code in include ZXPADU02 & set a break-point & check the value.

  • Disable modify for documents under certain conditions

    Hello gurus,
    I'm working on an SRM 7 system, extended classic scenario. My task is to disable the EDIT button to prevent unauthorized users to modify a PO or contract.
    An user is defined 'unauthorized' if it doesn't belong to the same block of the doc's creator in org. structure; the logic is quite clear and it shouldn't be a problem coding it in the CHECK badi. Also I could use the same logic to disable the EDIT button for the document.
    There's just a doubt for the task, I hope you can provide me info or suggestions: how to provide an error message explaining the user WHY the EDIT button is disabled?
    When a user searches for a document and simply click over it, the document is loaded and shown to the user. In this sequence, CHECK badi isn't triggered yet. For what I'm going to code, the EDIT button will be then disabled but the user will have no messages explaining WHY the button is disabled.
    So I'd kindly ask you:
    how can I raise an error message when the document is simply loaded? CHECK badi, as described above, seems not to be a correct solution because it is not triggered in the loading phase ( the user should then press a CHECK button to retrieve the error message). Is there a specific BADI in which I can raise a message when the document is loaded? Please note that for my check I need to retrieve the document's data.
    Thanks in advance for your help
    Matteo

    Solved. I checked for the condition in WDDOINIT (or WDDOMODIFYVIEW when FIRST_TIME = 'X') and raised there a persistent message for the specific case described in the post... It works.. with a single exception. I'm going to start a new thread since the argument seems quite different.

  • Reference t osegments and displaying under certain condition

    I'm trying to understand how conditions are working for DMEE tree.

  • Ethernet port on MacBook Pro only works under certain conditions

    Since I've purchased my MacBook Pro over two years ago now with an initial installment of OSX 10.5.x, I've had a small annoyance if while the OS was up and running and my physical network interface was disconnected and reconnected, a connection could not be reestablished until I shutdown, restart or put my Mac to sleep and woke it back up with the cable connected to the ethernet port. It would randomly work as it should if I connected and disconnected it over and over again until the machine decided I've stimulated it enough to allow me to use it. But it's recently become a real annoyance for me since the tab on my longest ethernet cable broke and it no longer locks it in place and now the slightest budge displaces the cable and I have to put the laptop to sleep often to reestablish a connection.
    I would opt to Wi-Fi, but my Mac (surprise, surprise) out of 4 other laptops is the only one whose signal is too weak to use where I use them most. I've reinstalled the OS once to no avail months ago and the problem persisted after downgrading to Slowleopard a day after it's release.
    Anyone have any ideas what may be going on? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Hello DavidJoyce
    Best thing to do is to buy a new Cat 6 Ethernet cable.

    Hello all,
    My code right now checks our flow controller setpoints, subtracts the readback value, and takes the absolute value. If the value is greater than 30% off, then the indicator blinks.  The problem I have is that during testing, sometimes the flow controller is not fully to setpoint and it'll blink quick before getting there.  Makes the screen look like christmas.  I really want it to blink if it detects that the flow controller is not working over a longer period of time.  This might be because the tank is empty or the flow controller is unplugged, etc.  I want to ignore small deviations from the setpoint.
    Any help is appreciated,
    Thanks,
    Matt

  • IPhone speaker only works under certain conditions

    Hi,
    When I try and make calls, I can't hear anything from the person at the other end of the line unless I put the phone on speaker-phone and even then, it still isn't that loud.  Also, when I play music from my iPhone without the headphones connected and the volume on full, no sound comes out.  When I have my headphones connected, the phone and music function as normal and I have no problem hearing.  I would therefore say that there is a problem with the speaker, but I don't know what to do about it.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Daniel
