Litany of problems under 10.5

My studio recently purchased a Mac Pro (2x Quad-Core 3.0ghz, maxed out with 16GB of RAM) as the army of iMacs was starting to get bogged down with the heavier workloads. Under Tiger, the Mac Pro performed like a champ. Since it was ordered a week or so before Leopard dropped, I was able to get an upgrade DVD via Up-to-Date.
The first couple weeks were ok - a couple glitches here and there that I expected, what with it being a .0 release and all. But recently, more things have been happening that is causing me to question whether keeping 10.5 (which is now, incidentally, at .1) is worth it at the moment.
For instance, iPhoto refuses to launch; I have to force quit every time, can't even begin to view photos. Safari likes to hang when I start entering data into a text field (such as the compose window in Gmail, or an online order form). Firefox works fine, but Safari shouldn't be having these issues in the first place. Leopard likes to mess with me and crash Photoshop CS3 from time to time, and iChat, exactly like iPhoto, just flat out refuses to launch.
Repaired permissions, did a disk repair, done everything short of clearing out caches (which I probably should), and verifying preferences (I wish Leopard didn't break AppleJack – that is such an invaluable utility for stuff like this!). Problems still persist. I'm considering going back to 10.4.11 – I'd rather be running under a mature OS that's still state of the art than a buggy, should-still-be-in-beta OS.
Anyone else experiencing issues like this? I know I'm not going to get anything resolved here (unless some of you guys know something I don't), but I don't know where else to just go and let off steam. Don't get me wrong, I'm a total kool-aid swilling, complete Apple nerd (I have 7 of them), but when it cuts into the bottom line, I'm a bit touchy.

I'm a first-time mac user and am experiencing a ton of issues also. Same deal; got the macbook with Tiger and Leopard with the up-to-date program. Was extremely happy with Tiger (Although have learnt that some of the marketing stuff is absolute rubbish).
The apple reseller recommended installing Leopard and now the keyboard freezes so often I've stopped keeping track. Serious impact to the bottom line when you can't even reply to time-critical business emails or write quotes/proposals.
Have also had the apple BSOD (Black Screen of Death ; "press the Restart button" ; I have pics) when trying to disconnect from a network share.
It's a pity cause I was really enjoying my new MacBook with Tiger. I've logged a call with apple but no response yet. I'm guessing they can't reply cause they're using leopard and waiting for their keyboards to work again.

  • How to fix iMovie 08 problems under 10.5.3

    iMovie problems under Mac OS X 10.5.3 linked to color system
    After updating to Mac OS X 10.5.3, users may have problems with launching iMovie. For most, iMovie refuses to opens, and the usual fix of removing the iMovie preferences, caches, and other iMovie settings files, and then relaunching the program does not appear to help. One user reinstalled the program with no luck resolving the problem:
    "I have the same problem. I've tried to reinstall the imovie, but it still does not work. I have imported a lot of video in iMovie. Please help!!! "
    For other users, while iMovie would start, they could not open any projects or use the program.
    One user, while not initially affected by this problem, found that after changing the color calibration of his Apple Cinema display iMovie suddenly wouldnt open just as described by others; however, upon reverting to a previous color profile iMovie became functional again. This indicates the problem lies somewhere in computer's color system configuration; and changing color settings seems to have fixed the problem for all affected users.
    Fixes
    Change the screen colors Go to the "Displays" system preferences and change the color output of the screen (either from thousands to millions, or vice versa) and relaunch iMovie. Somehow changing the display color depth modifies the color system so iMovie properly loads.
    Calibrate the display While for some users calibrating the display resulted in the iMovie error, for others the problem was fixed by re-calibrating the display. Calibrating the display can be an involved process, but it is recommended to ensure your screen outputs the most accurate colors as possible. This option is available in the "Displays" system preferences under the "Color" tab.
    More:
    Correcting the problem by changing profiles suggests a permissions problem which repairing permissions won't fix. Use the terminal command
    ls -al /Library/ColorSync/Profiles
    Compare the permissions on the working and non-working profiles. If they are different, correct the non-working instance.
    Everyone should read MacFixit Every Day

    Another fix for iMovie launch problems We previously reported that, after updating to Mac OS X 10.5.3, users may have problems with launching iMovie. For most, iMovie refuses to opens, and the usual fix of removing the iMovie preferences, caches, and other iMovie settings files, and then relaunching the program does not appear to help. One user reinstalled the program with no luck resolving the problem.
    We noted a few fixes for the issue, including changing scren colors and calibrating the display. Now some users have reported that temporarily adjusting screen resolution can allow iMovie to properly launch. The resolution can be changed back to normal after the update.
    "Neither suggested trick worked for me. However I temporarily changed the resolution to 1024x768 and then launched imovie. I then went back to my native resolution of 1280x800 (white ibook) and now imovie always launches. Thanks for the tips"

  • Power manager problem under vista 64 bit

    Happy to see Lenovo opened a forum and willing to hear from the customers.
    Power manager has problems under Vista 64bit:
    1. Sometimes it will cause explore.exe can't start when windows start.
    2. If no window at max, the color of the battery icon will be very dim
    Hope Lenovo can publish a new edition for vista 64 bit.

  • Need help with getResource() problem under weblogic 6.1

    Hey all,
              I've got a serious problem that I can't figure out. This should be really
              simple - but it's alluding me. I have an ear file with a number of servlets
              inside it. This ear file also contains a resource that my servlets want to
              read from. This resource is located (within the ear file) at:
              "/content/structure/a.txt". The file contains raw ascii.
              To have my serlvet read from this file, I thought it would be as simple as:
              URL content =
              servlet.getServletContext().getResource("/content/structure/a.txt");
              // pw is an instance of PrintWriter
              pw.print(content.getContent());
              However, when I execute the above I get the following exception:
              java.lang.NullPointerException
              at
              java.net.URLConnection.stripOffParameters(URLConnection.java:1011)
              at java.net.URLConnection.getContentHandler(URLConnection.java:979)
              at java.net.URLConnection.getContent(URLConnection.java:581)
              OK, so fine - I figure that I'm new to this. The documentation for the URL
              class tells me there is another way around this. It says that rather then
              calling getContent() directly, I can open a stream on the URL and read from
              that, like so:
              URL content =
              servlet.getServletContext().getResource("/content/structure/scenario2resourc
              es.txt");
              FileInputStream fis = content.openStream();
              but when I do this I get the following different exception:
              java.lang.ClassCastException: weblogic.utils.zip.SafeZipFileInputStream^M
              at Utility.writeFileToOutput(Utility.java:134)^M
              Apparently this thing is trying to return a web-logic-specific stream (which
              is incompatible with an FileInputStream) - which I don't want to use or
              learn about since I want my stuff to work under other webservers.
              Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? This should be simple.

    Wenjin,
              I appreciate your response. I tried treating it as a normal InputStream -
              but it didn't make any difference. Here's what I did:
              URL content =
              servlet.getServletContext().getResource("/content/structure/scenario2resourc
              es.txt");
              InputStream is = (InputStream)content.getContent();
              And here's the exception:
              java.lang.NullPointerException^M
              at
              java.net.URLConnection.stripOffParameters(URLConnection.java:1011)^M
              at
              java.net.URLConnection.getContentHandler(URLConnection.java:979)^M
              at java.net.URLConnection.getContent(URLConnection.java:554)^M
              at java.net.URL.getContent(URL.java:807)^M
              at Utility.writeFileToOutput(Utility.java:134)^M
              You can see that it is definitely breaking somewhere in getContent().
              If you have any other ideas, I'd appreciate hearing about them.

  • Jakarta (IIS/Tomcat) authentication problem under load

    We're having intermittent problems where people are getting prompted for their windows credentials, when they shouldn't be, because we've configured SSO using the Jakarta plug-in to IIS.  It seems to be under periods of system stress.
    I found kb entry [1291801|https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap/support/notes/print/1291801], which seems to describe the problem exactly.  But that entry is for XI R2, whereas we're on XI 3.2.  Does anyone know if there are updated instructions on how to fix this for XI 3?  I searched the kb but couldn't find anything else.

    Hi,
    there are much ways to narrow the "security risk" down. As Tim already told that with SP3 we have constrained delegation.
    Other hints are that you deny the SSO User and the Vintella User the logon to other Clients/Server in your Domain. So these Accounts can only be used from the BO Server. I did that often and SSO still works.
    Also you can set a very hard/long Password for the Users because nobody needs to remind that password...except the AD Administrators but they should have something like a password safe for those accounts.
    So WinAD SSO is not really a security leak.
    Regards
    -Seb.

    Hi,

    read that section following is a part of that note.
    Symptom:

    Cause:
    This problem is caused by incorrect data which should have been removed from the source system before the export.
    Solution:
    There are two possible workarounds:
          1. Modify DDL<dbs>.TPL (<dbs> = ADA, DB2, DB4, DB6, IND, MSS, ORA) BEFORE the R3load TSK files are generated;
                  search for the keyword "negdat:" and add "CLU4" and "VER_CLUSTR" to this line.
          2. Modify the TSK file (most probably SAPCLUST.TSK) BEFORE R3load import is (re-)started;
                  search for the lines starting with "D CLU4 I" and "D VER_CLUSTR I" and change the status (i.e. "err" or "xeq") to "ign" or remove the lines.

  • Cache and/or Connection problems under load

    I have a Kodo web app that's been running just fine in
    production for many months now. However, recently the web
    traffic has shot up by a huge amount, literally overnight.
    But unfortunately, it's caused the app to fail very ungracefully
    under the strain.
    It's been a crazy few days, and I haven't been able to do
    very much analysis because of higher priorities. But from
    what I have been able to gleen, it now looks like Kodo is
    the most likely culprit. From what I've read in other messages
    here, it appears others may have been experiencing similar
    problems.
    My environment: Redhat Linux 8, Postgres 7.3.4 with the
    included JDBC3 driver, Apache 1.3.x, Tomcat 4.1.x and the
    webapp connector. Similar behavior was seen with Apache 2.x,
    Tomcat 4.1.x and the JK2 connector (that was on the new machine
    I setup to handle the new traffic, which, of course, died the
    night before).
    As I mentioned, this app has been running reliably for
    months with no problems. But when placed under heavy load,
    it appears to get into some sort of pathological state where
    it slows down dramatically (asymptotically?) to the point where
    it's effectively locked up. In one case, where the app was
    left running for several hours in this state, requests were
    taking 90 minutes to complete (normal is 1-5 seconds).
    From what I can deduce, there seem to be four things
    going on, three of which have been mentioned in recent threads
    here:
    1) Excessive memory consumption. When the app is
    operating normally, I see fairly flat memory usage for
    the JVM process. Under load, the JVM steadily expands
    until it hits its heap limit. I've gotten OutOfMemory
    exceptions with a heap size of 350MB, which should be plenty.
    2) Level 2 cache locking issues. I've seen dozens of
    threads waiting on a lock in the DataCache code. Not sure
    if there's a deadlock happening here or just that the
    threads are waiting on a lock that's being held for a long time.
    3) Database Connection leaks or contention. I see threads
    spinning in the DataSource code trying to get a connection.
    I also see dozens of connections from the Postgres side which
    seem to be sitting idle, but in the middle of a transaction.
    When things get bad, I also see exceptions being thrown because
    of timeouts waiting for a connection to become available. It's
    a web app, PMs should not be tied up for more than a few seconds.
    4) CPU usage pegged or nearly so for the JVM. I suspect
    this is related to #3. Something very bad is going on here.
    If I stop all inbound requests to the JVM when it's in this
    bad state, it will continue to burn CPU at 90%+ for a very
    long time. I think it will eventually finish what it's doing,
    but I haven't had the luxury of waiting for it. It's definitely
    not a linear slowdown proportional to the load.
    Attached are my kodo.properties file and some thread stack
    traces along with some comments. Any advice would be greatly
    appreciated. This is not a complicated app nor am I doing
    anything unusual. It doesn't seem logical that Kodo could
    breakdown so dramatically under load, so I'm hoping it's some
    sort of interaction thing that I can work around.
    Thanks.

    "Born with a broken heart" -Kenny Wayne Shepard

    Please read prior posts regarding level 2 cache. It is unusable under stress
    as far I am concerned. Basically entire cache gets locked on any database
    read. Makes it very unscalable
    Are you using 2.5.3? It will request a connection from a pool every time it
    resolves reference to a PC even if it is cached in PM and therefore Kodo
    does not need to read any. As result if you iterate over 100 objects in your
    query and for each object resolve reference to another object (always the
    same) kodo will request 100 database connections from the pool (and note
    they issue rollback on every time they return a connection to the pool so
    getting connection might be fairly expensive)
    In conjunction with level 2 cache contention this causes application to go
    into a stupor.
    Try to go back to 2.5.2 (or may be 2.5.4 they promised in the near future
    with a workaround) or use "persistent-manager" connection retention if you
    discard PM after each HTTP invocation - it will take care of connection
    pooling issue. As far as L2 cache I was unable to find any work around so
    far - see if you might be better of without cache. You might if your object
    graph is not very complex

    I have a Kodo web app that's been running just fine in
    production for many months now. However, recently the web
    traffic has shot up by a huge amount, literally overnight.
    But unfortunately, it's caused the app to fail very ungracefully
    under the strain.
    It's been a crazy few days, and I haven't been able to do
    very much analysis because of higher priorities. But from
    what I have been able to gleen, it now looks like Kodo is
    the most likely culprit. From what I've read in other messages
    here, it appears others may have been experiencing similar
    problems.
    My environment: Redhat Linux 8, Postgres 7.3.4 with the
    included JDBC3 driver, Apache 1.3.x, Tomcat 4.1.x and the
    webapp connector. Similar behavior was seen with Apache 2.x,
    Tomcat 4.1.x and the JK2 connector (that was on the new machine
    I setup to handle the new traffic, which, of course, died the
    night before).
    As I mentioned, this app has been running reliably for
    months with no problems. But when placed under heavy load,
    it appears to get into some sort of pathological state where
    it slows down dramatically (asymptotically?) to the point where
    it's effectively locked up. In one case, where the app was
    left running for several hours in this state, requests were
    taking 90 minutes to complete (normal is 1-5 seconds).
    From what I can deduce, there seem to be four things
    going on, three of which have been mentioned in recent threads
    here:
    1) Excessive memory consumption. When the app is
    operating normally, I see fairly flat memory usage for
    the JVM process. Under load, the JVM steadily expands
    until it hits its heap limit. I've gotten OutOfMemory
    exceptions with a heap size of 350MB, which should be plenty.
    2) Level 2 cache locking issues. I've seen dozens of
    threads waiting on a lock in the DataCache code. Not sure
    if there's a deadlock happening here or just that the
    threads are waiting on a lock that's being held for a long time.
    3) Database Connection leaks or contention. I see threads
    spinning in the DataSource code trying to get a connection.
    I also see dozens of connections from the Postgres side which
    seem to be sitting idle, but in the middle of a transaction.
    When things get bad, I also see exceptions being thrown because
    of timeouts waiting for a connection to become available. It's
    a web app, PMs should not be tied up for more than a few seconds.
    4) CPU usage pegged or nearly so for the JVM. I suspect
    this is related to #3. Something very bad is going on here.
    If I stop all inbound requests to the JVM when it's in this
    bad state, it will continue to burn CPU at 90%+ for a very
    long time. I think it will eventually finish what it's doing,
    but I haven't had the luxury of waiting for it. It's definitely
    not a linear slowdown proportional to the load.
    Attached are my kodo.properties file and some thread stack
    traces along with some comments. Any advice would be greatly
    appreciated. This is not a complicated app nor am I doing
    anything unusual. It doesn't seem logical that Kodo could
    breakdown so dramatically under load, so I'm hoping it's some
    sort of interaction thing that I can work around.
    Thanks.

    With cahce enabled, 2.5.3
    Here the app had recently slowed down and then effectively locked up.
    There where many outstanding web requests that were not receiving output.
    At this point most threads seemed to be waiting at the same location.
    There were a large number of active database connections and most of
    them had open transactions (according to pg_stat_activity). The app
    was not responding to any web requests.
    It would seem that db transactions had been started, then the thread
    got stuck for a long time on a synchronization lock in the cache lookup.
    Below are two randomly chosen thread stack dumps.

    while running slow, 2.5.3
    At this point, the app had been running several hours normally, then
    apparently slowed down and locked up while I was away. When looking
    at the app threads and database activity, everything appeared idle.
    No transactions seemed to be open in the db. But the app was not
    behaving normally. Web requests that did not make use of JDO worked
    fine (but slow). But requests that hit the db either blocked or were
    very slow to respond.
    Looking back at the log, there had been a large number of requests
    that threw exceptions because they could not get a connection within
    five seconds.
    Most threads were idle, waiting on read, but some were in the state
    shown by the following two stack dumps. Unlike the cache threads above,
    they did not seem to be waiting for a lock to be granted, they seemed
    to be spinning in the connection management code. Apparently trying
    to get a connection. I suspended and resumed the same thread repeatedly
    and it always seemd to be doing the same thing. Single stepping was
    very difficult because the debugger was slow to respond, apparently
    because of other threads also busy spinning.
    Postgres indicated that there where lots of connections open and
    that they were all idle, so there should not have been a shortage
    of connections in the pool. There are two mysteries here: 1) why
    can't this thread get a connection? and 2) Why is it busy spinning?

    With cache disabled 2.4.3
    This run was an accident. I inadvertently ran the app with the older

    almost immediately. It also seemed to lockup with lots of opentransactions
    in the db. It's also interesting that these two threads also seem to be
    hanging around the same method as in 2.5.3.

  • FireFox 8.0.1 does not work with most sites that functioned with no problems under earlier versions. I wish to uninstall and go back to an earlier version.

    The more I attempt to use FireFox 8.0.1 the more problems I have. I find considerable interference with the functioning of RoboForm, my bookmarks keep disappearing, many sites that worked fine earlier and work fine with the Opera browser do not work under version 8. Where can I download an earlier version of FireFox

    You can [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Uninstalling%20Firefox?s=uninstall+firefox&r=0&as=s uninstall] Firefox 8 first before you downgrade to Firefox 7. However, when you uninstall, make sure that you '''don't''' choose the option "'''Remove my Firefox Personal Data'''".
    You can access a list of [ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/ Previous Versions of Firefox], however, note that Firefox recommends using the latest version since older version may have security and safety vulnerabilities.
    '''P.S:''' it may be a good idea to create a Restore Point before you uninstall, in case you mess up, in which case you can just restore and start over.

  • Macbook Pro Retina (late 2013) sleep wake problems under Yosemite

    Hi,
    Ever since I installed Yosemite on my MBP (details in the screen shot below), I've been getting Sleep Wake problems.  At night, I simply close the lid of the laptop, leaving all applications running, and in the morning I wake it up.  This worked fine under Mavericks on this laptop, but since Yosemite, every time I open the lid, I've had problems.  Initially, I'd open the lid and the machine would restore from what looked like a deep sleep (screen would get an alpha layer on it, and the little progress bar would appear, as though it's waking from the battery running out).  I ran Disk Utility, which found and repaired an issue on the disk (can't remember the details, unfortunately), and ever since then, when I open the lid, I have to hit the power button to get the machine going.  It restores in about 15 seconds (nice and fast), and it does re-launch all of the applications I had open, but the machine will also show a little system alert, indicating a "Sleep Wake Problem".  Each time I see it, I submit the issue to Apple.  Because I'm an idiot, I forgot to copy the crash log from this morning, but I'll do that tomorrow and append it to this thread.  Meanwhile, if anybody is having a similar experience and can isolate the cause, I'd love to know.  A few variables which might matter:
    * I have a Thunderbolt external hard drive which I use for Time Machine.  Each night, I eject the disk before shutting the laptop down (I bring the machine home with me each night).  My laptop used to have issues ejecting external disks, which I traced (thanks to this board) to an issue with attempting to put an external drive to sleep (I think that was the issue).  I haven't had any issues since that time.
    * The apps I have running all the time are Mail, Safari, Coda (text editor) and VMWare 8, which is running a Windows7 VM.  That's been my environment for years now, yet the sleep-wake issue only started since upgrading to Yosemite.
    Any help/advice is appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi Ben,
    Another sleep issue and adding to your post... My MacBook Pro (2.7ghz early 2011)
    Leaving apps open and closing the "lid" and then going to bed... several times thru out the night my MacBook will start to wake up.  The optical drive spins up (DVD is in the drive), the hard drive fires up, I think i can see the screen glow ("lid" is still closed).   Then it sets itself back to sleep (must detect the closed lid).
    Did not do this with Mavericks or other earlier OSs. 
    I have not begun to try to figure this out... today is the day!  lol.

    Hi,
    If you used the standard installation for reader, the path should have been /usr/lib32/Adobe/Reader8/bin and not /usr/lib32/Acrobat/Reader8/bin. Could you confirm how you performed the installation?
    The solution is to uninstall and re-install the reader using the standard location. We highly recommend that you install under /opt if it's a system-wide installation. Installing under /usr/lib32 seems strange given that the reader consists of more than just libraries.
    If that's not possible, you can fix it by tweaking the INSTALL script that is part of the language pack installer. Change line 198:
    from:
    198 if [ ! -d "$dir/Adobe/Reader8/Reader" -o ! -d "$dir/Adobe/Reader8/Resource" ]
    to:
    198 if [ ! -d "$dir/Acrobat/Reader8/Reader" -o ! -d "$dir/Acrobat/Reader8/Resource" ]
    and specify /usr/lib32 as the path of installation when prompted.
    Let us know how you progress.

  • 21.5" iMac brightness problem under Windows 7

    Even at lowest possible brightness under Windows 7,
    this is much too bright for working in the evening/night.
    I was using VistaShades under Vista, but now under Windows 7
    VistaShades only darkens the background!
    Does anyone know another program for reducing the brightness
    which is Windows 7 compatible?
    Thanks!
    (BTW: I have the same problem using my 24" iMac under Windows 7
    see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2358779&tstart=0)

    I has the same problem so i called a friend and all he did was go to navida's web site and download the beta drivers for gforce go 7600. make sure it is for windows 7. the ones on HP's website does not work and you can not use auto detect drivers when finding the driver.

  • Airport problems under osX, but working on bootcamp (mbp mid09)

    Hi, that's the problem:
    Airport used under snow leopard can't connect to my wifi network, but all others pc or internet devices are working(iphone, 2 notebook, nokia phone).
    I tried to delete preferences in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration, but.. nothing to do.
    The preference panel tells me "autoconfigured IP" if i set it to dhcp.
    When i use static ip configuration seems to be connected (green light on airport), but i cannot charge any page on internet.
    Curious thing about the ping utility: time of some packets are about 23000 ms, and the tranmission works randomly for 5 second, then disconnect itself.
    It's obviously a software issue, now i'm writing from the same mac using bootcamp and windows 7. I update my mac to 10.6.2, but the problem is still unsolved.
    What can i do?

  • Audio transmit problem under redhat linux 9

    Hi !!
    I have already compiled J2sdk1.4.2 and JMF2.1.1e performance pack for linux and they both work alright under Redhat linux 9. JMStudio works fine to playback audio files. The problem I'm having is when I try to transmit and receive audio files through AVTransmit2, AVReceive2 and JMStudio!! They just don't work!!
    AVTransmit2 and JMStudio just starts to transmit but on the receiving end both jmstudio and avreceiver2 just waits for rtp data but none arrives!!
    Can anyone help me with this problem?? I've already tried spending a whole day cranking my brain about this!!
    Thanks in advance

    make sure your hostname is somehostname.com , and make sure you have your IP mapped to your hostname in /etc/hosts file.

    Hi,
    I got rather stupid question to ask regarding the font size.
    if I got a font size of 10, I know it is only refering to the height in pixel , my problem start when I need to know , how many characters can I print across in a A4 size paper. The pixel point is 1/72 of an inch, it is vertical .
    Is there any formula that I can use to determine how many characters per inch that particular font is supposed to print?
    Suggestion that I received is to use trial and error method.
    Thank
