Keychain, permissions and general system wide issues

Hi all,
Sorry for the slightly odd title to this post but I was at a loss what to specifically post this under due to the sytem wide nature of the problems I am experiencing with a Mid 2009 13" MBP.
The following problems exist with any user, including admins.
I was first made aware of an issue when the MBP stopped connecting to secure websites - Chrome would just give the "Aw Snap" error and Safari would give the error saying it couldn't establish a secure connection to the server etc.
After searching this, I was led to a community page saying to do a keychain first aid which then threw up the follwing results (the login keychain did not contain any items):

As well as this issue I am also experiencing:
Failure of Spotlight to open native applications e.g. I want to open Kechain Access so start to type keychain, but instead of showing the result for the application I only get a dictionary result.
If I manually try to open native apps from the Applications directory they do not open
Failure to connect to my work network drives
I came across this post on the community https://discussions.apple.com/message/25579695#2557969 and tried the suggestions of Linc Davis and specifically his suggestion about restarting in safe mode.
This does temporarily fix all of the issues that I am experiencing but they just reappear again after a while of using the laptop.
I had recently bought an SSD to upgrade this MBP and shortly after these problems started I decided that I would take the opportunity to install it and hope that a fresh install of ML might fix the issues.
Unfotunatley even after this, the problems just resurfaced.
I have tried two fresh installs of ML and since the 2nd install I haven't installed a single 3rd party application or synced any of my user data back to the MBP.
I have even tried a 2nd SSD in case the problem was somehow related to it.
All problems still persist and I am at a loss what to try next, hence my post here to the community!
It now feels like these problems may well be linked to another hardware issue but this goes beyond my experience with these types of issues!
Any help / suggestiosn would be hugely appreciated!

Hey Eric,
I just made time to go get the results for you.
In addition to the problems I detailed above, when I first tried to download Etrecheck, the system refused stating that there was not enough space on the hard drive. However, after using the inspector on Macintosh HD it was clearly not the case. Aftyer rebooting into safe mode and restarting I was able to download it. Currently having no issues due to safe mode restart but they will return eventually over the next few hours of usage.
Here's the Etrecheck results, thanks in advance

Rendering and Low System Memory issues in PE9.

Hello again.
N.B: I am an ex-PE3 user.
I am having a few issues with PE9.
1. My main issue is that I am regularly getting the 'low system memory; please proceed with caution' message. I have googled it and read people's suggestions, but am not sure where to go from here. I have tried saving my file under another name, but am already up to '....E' (fifth) version of the file I've been working on this afternoon. The total time of the project is only approx 45 min's, although I will say that this 'low system memory' issue seems to be worst today, as I'm adding more still photos.
2. One of the suggestions made by Steve G on one of the forums was to make sure projects are regularly rendered. When I hit 'Enter' to render, the little render window pops up for a split second and then disappears. And I would assume from the red line above my timeline that my file is not rendered.
3. When I switch to 'Sceneline' view, my horizontal scroll-bar across the bottom will only drag SO far (to a certain point in my project; but definitely not to the end of my project. It is really frustrating. I sometimes can fix it by flicking between Sceneline and Timeline, but I have to do this multiple times... and it seems a ridiculous way to do it.
It would be fantastic if someone could help me with these issues, please!

Hi everyone:
Thankyou for all your suggestions.
Sorry, Bill, but both those links give me an error message. I was all set to read them, but they won’t work, unfortunately.
What is meant by ‘page file managed’, sorry? And do you mean ‘hard disk drives’ by HDD, or does it stand for something else in this context? I’m not sure what you mean by how do I have them allocated. Again, apologies for my ignorance. I do have only one HDD, but it is partitioned.
The image sizes all seem to have a depth of 24, but vary in dimensions – I can see that some are quite large (around 3 mg in size, with dimensions of 4288x2848, for example). Is the actual mg-size relevant, or only the physical length and width?
I have tried to look at the frame size of my project, but it seems to be greyed out. In pale digits, there is 720x576 written.
Just before I sent this, I thought of one other thing to try first.
I tried starting a ‘New Project’. I then inserted just 6 still photos, for experimentation purposes. I then hit ‘Enter’ and the Rendering window came up and appears to have rendered correctly. So I then tried looking at one of my other projects (that hadn’t previously been rendered) and tried to render it. In this case, as in for the project I am currently working hard on, the Rendering window flashes up for about ¼ of a second and then disappears.
What is going on???

What are the pixel x pixel dimensions of those still images?
What is the Frame Size of your Project?
How is your Page File Managed, and what is the size? This http://forums.adobe.com/thread/632449?tstart=30 will give you some background and tips.
Also, tell us about your HDD's, and how you have them allocated.

Issue with hostname "localhost" and general CR connectivity issue

Hello,
we installed SAP BOE with the integrated Tomcat 6. We used a Web Tier installation on the same host, but in different paths.
Tomcat was installed under /usr/sap/tomcat/sap_bobj/tomcat and the SAP BOE package under
/usr/sap/XXX/sap-bobj/enterprise_xi40. The host has two IP addresses, a physical address (A) and a logic address (B).
We want to get a setup that uses the logical address whenever possible.
We have issues with Crystal Reports for Enterprise XI4.0.
When CR ist started from the BI launch pad, then CR ist started and tries to connect to "localhost". The hostname "localhost" is communicated from BI launch pad to CR.
For sure, no communication with "localhost" is possible.
When CR is started manually and a connection to the respective Tomcat server is initiated (port 8080, servername B, context /dswsbobje) we get the
error message. please wait, no connection possible at the moment. I already read and applied SAP KB articles 1598906 and 1601997, but the issue is not solved.
1- Where I can make changes so that BI launch pad will communicate hostname B and not "localhost" to start CR?
2- Is there any local log file on the PC to check why CR can not connect, when started manually?
Best regards Bernd

we have installed BO 4.0 and Its working perfectly. we have using webi reports,
As next step recently we have installed Crystal reports for exterprise XI4.0
But we could not connect with BO server. Please guide us on below req..

Extremely slow address completion in Mail.app and general systems freeze

Hello all,
Since the middle of last week I suddenly experienced
a extreme slow down of Mail.app address completion,
it take about a minute to type/complete an address even
whenever the completion option is checked in the preferences.
Then Mail.app use nearly all system disk ressources: 'ls' in a terminal
takes forever to complete, safari stops responding, etc... my Mac
is unusable. I got into situation where i couldn't force-quit
or ps/kill -9 any process,... reminiscent of a PC nightmare.
In addition some mail messages are painfully slow to display,
the problem seems to occur on some specific messages and does
not go away when completion is disabled.
This happens it seems, but I am not 100% sure, after I recieved
mails with with strange accentuated charaters and ';' in some
CC addresses.
I go the zombie AddressBookSync problem described
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8380028
starting addressbook then Mail.app as suggested by on user
solved the zombie problem, but not the completion problem
and the system is still somewhat slugish. I got a 4GB 2.4Ghz
imac. Neither my mail nor any disk item substancially increased
last week.
Now there is something strange. I tryed to remove putative
faulty addresse from previous recipient list with
'windows -> previous recipient' but the list is empty, yet
Mail.app does complete the addresses I type! (although it
does it at nerve breaking turtle speed), where are the
completed addresses taken from???
Has any one experience this problem? Any idea?
Thank

When I attempt to open Mail.app Preferences, the app freezes

HT4314 Is there a system-wide issue with the Game Center. I cannot get past the spinning dots/loading part, my game says I'm not signed in, and I am connected to the Internet.

I have been using the Game Center to track my wins for some time (months). Suddenly, my game tells me I'm not signed in and I cannot get the Game Center to open.

I have two yahoo accounts and I know as they 'improved' their servers I had periodic outages. It'd work fine on my webmail on my computer, webmail on the iPad, but not via the mail app. And it was stuff on their end. It may be a case of wait and see and you may need to eventually remove/readd the account on your iPhone.
When the issue is on their end, unfortunately there's not much for users to do beyond wait it out or find work arounds.

Replace bzip2 and gzip with pbzip2 and pigz system wide?

I just now got word of these multithreaded ports and would like to know if theres anyway to replace their single threaded brethren? pigz is already in AUR and it wouldn't take much to put pbzip2 into it either.
Maybe some global variable should be set?
Edit: Strike the part about pbzip2. It's already in community

I just did some testing by downloading the Linux kernel source, and then using bzip2 and pbzip2 to decompress and recompress it several times. In another terminal window I monitored the speed of each CPU core by running:
watch 'cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep MHz'
What I found out was that yes, the files created by either tool will be able to be decompressed with the other. However, if you use pbzip2 to decompress a file compressed with the regular bzip2, it will only use one core. Only when decompressing a file that was compressed with pbzip2 did pbzip2 use both CPU cores.

System Wide Permissions Problem

I have a MacBook Pro, OS 10.5.8, which I've been using since 2009, and this is the first time I've encountered the problem described below.
I'm suddenly having what seems to be a system wide permissions problem. Tonight I found I couldn't add a new folder (the option was grayed out), and I noticed a pencil icon with a line through it at the bottom of the window. When I chose Get Info for that window, my name was missing from Sharing & Permissions. There was also a new name, "wheel", which I've never seen before. (3 names in all: system, wheel, eveyone.) This affects a lot of folders stemming off the HD (Applications, Library, etc.), but my user folder folder is unaffected.
I've rebuilt the permissions several times in Disk Utility, and also repaired the disk after getting an error message when verifying. But the permissions problem is still there.
So I'm wondering what in the heck could have caused this, and how can I fix it?
I found I could add my name back to the permissions list in one of the affected folders, using Get Info, and this solved the issue for that folder, but there are a LOT of folders with the same issue. Perhaps if I did this with the HD folder, and selected the "Apply to enclosed items" option at the bottom?
FWIW, we just bought & set up a new iMac, OS 10.8.2, last week. I looked at a number of folders on it using Get Info, and it seems to be configured pretty much the same way with regard to permissions, which is a little spooky. Don't know if it makes any difference, but I used the same user name, login password, apple ID & password when I set up the new computer as I have on my Macbook. Could that have caused this somehow?
Thanks for any help or thoughts.

Thank you, BDAqua for the link.
I use my MacBook Pro mainly for creating music (DAW program & plug-ins). I've occasionally had to change permissions on individual plug-ins, but never to a group of folders on this scale.
I'm wondering if there's a way to get my old permissions back, or if I should leave it as is at this point, and add my user name to the permissions on individual folders as the need arises? Don't want to screw everything up, as this is getting a little over my head.
Any recommendations?

Mac won't update software or access iTunes shop. Message comes up with 'not connected to the net. Check connections' error. I still have internet access. Changed my Apple ID but no result. Repaired permissions and re-installed operating system.

It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

No issues, but curious..why do I always get permissions repaired when I click on 'repair permissions in Disk Utility......it usually has to do with core permissions and it's happened since i got this MacBook Pro in 3/11..it continues with 10.7

When I select text, system wide, and delete it, why is the succeeding text then selected?

When I select text, system wide, and delete it, why is the succeeding text then selected?
This doesn't happen all the time, but it's happened enough for me to notice it and get super annoyed by it.
Here's an example. If I have the following text:
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
And I highlight quick brown and then press delete, I get: (The red shows the selected text)
The fox jumps over the lazy dog.
So when I then start typing, more text is removed than I want. Sometimes this effect carries over, so that the next couple words are selected once I start typing.
It's wonderfully annoying. So I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing such issues or if anyone might have an idea on how to get rid of this problem.
Thanks.

Ooops. I haven't updated my sig in a while. I'm on 10.8.2 and it happens on a late 2008 Alu Macbook.

Restoring one system-wide dictionary (issue with spell checking)

Hello all,
For some reason, spell checking is behaving badly: it won't spell check German correctly anymore, even though it is set on “Multilingual”. English is alright, so I suspect my German dictionary got corrupt.
My questions are:
1- Will installing the 10.5.7 update resolve the issue?
2- Where can I find the system-wide dictionaries used for spell-checking by OS X?
3- Where can I download these dictionaries?
I hope a clean install is not required just to get one dictionary/spellcheck file back…
Thanks very much all!

it won't spell check German correctly anymore, even though it is set on “Multilingual”.
How about when you set it to Deutsch?
2- Where can I find the system-wide dictionaries used for spell-checking by OS X?
3- Where can I download these dictionaries?
You can't find them or download them.
I hope a clean install is not required just to get one dictionary/spellcheck file back…
Maybe. You could also install CocoAspell and add a German dictionary from its selection.

Fresh install, random 100% drive usage and system wide lag.

Hi there, i just fresh installed Win 8.1 after having the issue of a svchost thrashing 100% disk access for minutes at a time and lagging whole system inc mouse pointer to the point that apps and games start to crash and the issue has not gone away.
I had also had the issue on old pc using different drives.
This is the 4th system where ive seen this behaviour in Win 8 since launch and was wondering if there is a fix yet? It happens on my 2 pc, my mothers laptop and a friends desktop, all with different hardware, 2 factory installs and 2x fresh installs
from untouched iso's.
It happens randomly when nothing is running on pc or sometimes when gaming or using apps and makes the desktop unresponsive for minutes at a time and sometimes crashes apps with it due to the system wide lag. Even ctrl alt deleting can take several
minutes for the menu to appear or even start Task Manager.
Ive managed to catch 1/2 the issue with procmon but due to taking so long for apps to launch while the lag happens i can only get the last 1/2 of the trace which shows a mix between a svchost, explorer.exe and wmiprvse.exe thrashing the system to a standstill
while accessing almost every file and reg key on the disk to over a million events recorded in procmon.
IS there a fix for this or a way to check the procmon trace to see exactly what service or task is causing the thrashing? I think whatever it is is buggy/broken, running at realtime and is blocking anything else from using the system until its done,
which lags the system.
Surely even an overloaded drive wouldnt cause other apps or the mouse to lag/hang so badly to the point of crashing and even Xp or Win 7 wouldnt lag/hang the desktop due to a busy drive.

System wide jerky scrolling and delay while typing and selecting text

Hi,
I'm new to Mac (first laptop) and I'm noticing just now that the system response feels very low. There's a significant delay when showing characters after typing as well as selecting text, and jerkiness when scrolling anything, from Finder window contents to Safari web pages.
I take care of not installing suspicious software, I use a limited account for daily taks and haven't installed anything lately. Processor usage is as low as ever. Plenty of memory is free (4GB installed) and free disk space is enough (66 GB).
What is happening? Not even Windows behaved like this!
Please help!!!!

I had installed 10.5.8 and it's kind of iffy with file permissions...
The system-wide jerkiness went away with a reboot, but the Safari jerkiness I could attribute to specially heavy surfing I never did before on that day.
I'm accustomed to my Mac working speedy all the time and because of that I can be unforgiving, and it's wrong. I would never complain of jerkiness on my XP PC when opening 30+ browser instances and 100+ tabs in total because I know XP can't handle it, but that was the kind of thing I threw at Safari. And the experienced jerkiness wasn't even on all pages, just a few.

Permissions and keychains after mavericks

Hello all
Since upgrading to Mavericks I've had some odd issues going on involving permissions and keychains. On each of my iMacs, I've actually had to go in and change the permissions on the keychain folder to allow my user profile to access it, and on one of them I am still having an issue of having to enter some passwords from memory rather than having them auto-fill. Also, many folders' info panels list their permissions as "custom access" but don't present the padlock-and-userlist thing for editing permissions. It happened that last week I was unable to move a file from an external NAS volume because (even though I was logged in and normally have admin privileges on the volume in question) Mavs said I didn't have permission to read the file, and would not let me access the permissions panel in show-info. The file was video, and I could play it, but was not allowed to move or copy it.
Weird.
If there is some obvious measure I should take or some useful tool I should know about, please let me know
Thanks!!

Permission Issues - Troubleshooting
You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

5800XM Music player issue : General System Error

Hi everyone,
I have a Nokia 5800XM since 1 year and I have an issue since a few weeks...
I Updated my phone to the 40.0.005 firmware version
When I play a music with the music player, at the end of the song, there is a General System error and I can't use the payer anymore. But the rest of the phone system is operational, I can do what I want (except playing music). If I reboot the phone, I can play 1 song and the same error appears...
I've tried a soft reset, a hard reset and a firmware reinstallation... The problem remains the same.
I'm a little bit lost, I don't know what to do
Can somebody help me ???
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yes the problem seems to be the memory card. Before we get to formatting, lets see if its an error in a file. Simply plug in your memory card into your PC via card reader, or lacking that plug in the phone and memory card via mass storage mode. Go to My Computer>Right Click the Memory Card>Properties>Tools>Disc Check. Check it for errors, remember to set auto-fix. Then try the card again on your phone. If it failed to fix, connect the card again to PC via mass storage and format it. Then disconnect and pop into your phone. Go to File Manager>Memory Card>Options>Memory Card Options>Format (Actually you can skip the format on PC, but I just do that to ensure that the thing is wiped clean before I format it using the phone to install phone software).
That should clean up the card. Also, my advise is that when your card is properly working keep regular backups of it. And I do not mean Ovi Suite or PC Suite. Use a third party backup solution (I use the inbuilt one in BitDefender Total Security) to completely back up your card. If you restore from those backups, all apps are restored.
