Mac OS X 10.6.8 Issues with storage

Hi All,
Be merecefull, first time posting here.
Have got a server with Mac OS X 10.6.8 Server, which is profiding following services:
• Open Directory
• DNS
• AFP
Issues is with AFP more specifically with shares on Drobo box which is connected over FireWire. It serves as Share location and FileMaker server file database. Users reported issues with performance while accessing files and are unable to save some of the files onto it.
I performed Verify Disk form Disk Utility and it reported "Invalid sibling link. The volume Drobo was found corrupt and needs to be repaired." Repair Disk isn't fixing the issues and stopps performing repair after 20 min.
I had same issues on the same server while back, but back then we had Hive drive attached on FireWire and it had exactly same issues. We changed it to Drobo and restored files from backup.
Could please someone explain why these issues are occruing in first place as this starts to appear a regular problem, and what could be a way to avoid this in future.
We are planning to attempt disk repair from install media or Single User mode. Any better sollutions are wellcomed!
All bes,
Aigars.

My questions are: Was the problem with iTunes playing slowly an iTunes issue? Or was the root problem from the upgrade to OS X 10.6.3, and therefor an OS problem?
Even if a user has access to the beta, and knew of an issue they are working on, he/she would not be able to comment on it here. This forum is only for OS's that have been released and is covered by a Terms of Use agreement.
Sounds like you got an unintended update in some sort of fluke accident, and since you've removed it, there's no way of telling what caused the problem or if it was the OS or program or both.

Mac Book Pro 13 inch Graphics Issue with Yosemite

I have a major graphics issue with my Mac Book Pro mid 2010 after upgrading to Yosemite. I have a 2.66ghz with 8gb memory and 320M 256 MB NVIDIA graphics card. Since upgrading to Yosemite (after a clean install) I have had the following issue that are driving me crazy;
When I use more than one program my screen displays large blocks of unrecognisable fuzziness. I have two screen working off my Mac Book Pro, one is the Apple 27 inch theatre screen.
My system works slow despite have ample free memory available on my disk (over 150gb)
It is becoming an increasing concern as this issue builds up over the day to the point where I need to reboot to fix, however as soon as I use Photoshop the system almost grinds to a halt. Other issues that are bearable but ned addressing include;
Keyboard often does not work on startup and requires you to pull out the keyboard and reconnect (intermittent).
Lost email when sent (intermittent). I had hoped that this would be fixed in this updated release.
Laggy behaviour in general.
I am hoping someone has an idea to fix these issues or are also sharing my frustration. Can someone suggest fix as this is not a workable situation for Mac book Pro users and 2010 is not that of an old computer. Apple???

So you erased your drive and installed 10.10 and then 10.10.1 and everything else was t hrough Setup Assistant, through reinstalls, or through TimeMachine restore?
A four-year old laptop may be at the point where that small older gpu and processors have more trouble.
you might want to hold off and go back to Mavericks or whatever you had - hopefully you cloned that system before doing clean install, upgrade to 16GB, maybe throw in an SSD... or save and get the next MacBook Pro to come out.
And you checked your apps at http://www.roaringapps.com for compatibility.
Might help just to see what if anything shows up in output from Etrecheck.
Probably thought this was laptop MacBook Pro, it is not, probably best moved to Yosemite forum.

Mac Pro 6,1 STILL having issues with Open CL (4K scaling and SpeedGrade direct link grades)

I've seen the staff responses to the issues of the new Mac Pro GPU saying that 10.9.4 fixes everything. For me, it has fixed my export issues, so I'm glad. I'm no longer getting lines and artifacts on my renders.
That's great.
However, I'm still having several issues, and they seem to be linked to Adobe and Open CL.
Here's a video that shows what's going on:
mac pro issues july 7 - YouTube
Issue #1
Like most of you probably, I'm doing 1080p exports of most things I'm working on. The first project shows a 1080p timeline with a mix of 4k, 5k, and 720p footage. Because zooming in so much on a 720p file in a 4k timeline looks so crappy, I'm doing 1080p timelines and scaling everything to the size it needs to be. I started in a 4k timeline then switched to 1080p because the 720p footage looked so terrible. However, in the 4k timeline, I didn't have any of the issues I'm showing in this first part of the video.
When I switched to the 1080p timeline, I discovered a weird quirk: When I resize the 4k (or 5k) footage to the size it needs to be (which varies based on the frame I want), it goes back to the 100% view when I'm scrubbing through it. When I pause, the size of the video goes back to the way I set it. I show this in the video. Then I show what was my working solution for the time being: "scale to frame size", which brings all the videos to the size of the sequence frame size and works fine. Later, I turn off OpenCL in premiere and when I scrub through the video, it doesn't zoom back in or only stay at the size I set when stopped. For some reason all of these issues only happen at 50% scale or smaller. It doesn't happen at, say, 60%.
I've tested this with raw R3D files and other 4K (or 5K) clips (even clips exported from After Effects) and the same thing happens. It doesn't seem to happen with 2.5k footage or 1080p footage.
Issue #2
This is the second project you'll see in the video.
After grading in speedgrade (through direct link) I open my project back up in premiere and start playing it back. The video plays back with delays and frame drops. Now normally, this would be expected. But this is 1080p pro res footage, and this is just an effect added, and the yellow bar appears indicating that open CL should be accelerating the playback and it should do so smoothly.
Maybe I was just wrong in assuming that a simple grade from speedgrade would be able to playback smoothly. I turn off the grade, and it plays normally.
But then, when I turn off open cl and leave the grade on, the video plays back without ANY issues.
So to me, it seems I'm still having issues with Open CL and adobe. I've found fixes that make it work temporarily, I don't need that kind of answer. However, I would like this to work. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Something I need to do to get this to work?
Here are my specs:
Mac Pro 6,1 (Late 2013)
3 GHz 8-Core Intel Xeon E5
64 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 ECC
AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB (x2)
OSX 10.9.4
Firmware: 2.20f18
What you're seeing is latest version of Premiere (CC 2014, v8.0.0 [169] Build)
Everything here is ProRes 422, running from a Promise Pegasus2 R4 RAID (drives: 4x Seagate Desktop HDD 4 TB SATA 6Gb/s NCQ 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive ST4000DM000) (that's thunderbolt 2).
I've done everything: I've restarted my computer hundreds of times, I've reset NVRAM and PRAM and done power cycles.
This isn't just some issue that started with 10.9.3 of OSX, the 4k issues happened when I first switched to a 1080p sequence back in February (2014) or so, which means it was an issue even with 10.9.2 and the previous firmware release.
I've reported this issue to adobe.

That crash appears to be casued by the Facebook plug-in.
Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7 and 10.8), make a new Library in that account, import some shots and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

MacBook Pro 15 Mid 2009 - Mac OSX 10.10.2 - Any issues with video lagging/audio lagging?

Hello
Current OS and System details below. Have started to experience audio and video lagging when browsing (not effecting audio on music)
Have looked at some forums and it appears to be an issue with some later cards and Mac Book Pros
Any one else experiencing issues? and if so are they resolved? and if so by what manner were they resolved?

Since yo said "an issue with some later cards and Mac Book Pros" I would also post n the MacBook forum

Does the new Mac OS reslove the missing icon issue with photoshop cs6

Thre has been a longstanding issue with missing icons of CS6 in the Mounatin Lion. Has the issue been fixed now with Mavericks?

Thank you, it was brief enjoyment. I just about got it set up as I wanted it. Wednesday evening as I was browsing the internet with the Mac Mini, and re-formatting the HD's of my G5 ready for eBay, the new Mac Mini died on me, less than a week old.
Returned to seller, they confirmed it was dead. I should take delivery of another new unit tomorrow, (Monday). I have lent the technician a paint scraper, so he can fit the new RAM without marking the bottom this time...
Second time lucky hopefully. It could have been the power supply? I will probably never know.

MAC OS X 10.6.3 issues with iTunes/Magic mouse

This is strange. Somehow I was able to upgrade Snow Leopard 10.6 to 10.6.3. How was that possible? I did this about a week or so ago. 10.6.3 is not available on Apple's download site today 2-7-2010. How did I get access to it?
A couple of weeks ago, I bought the Snow Leopard CD and installed it over my Tiger OS, without any problems. Then i bought a wireless keyboard and magic mouse which prompted me to upgrade Snow Leopard to 10.6.2., as well as upgrade the software to the wireless peripherals. Went to Apple's download page and somehow downloaded OS X 10.6.3. Hmmm? I also installed the latest security update at this time too. After all installs, at this point, I wasn't experiencing any issues with my laptop.
But then, I upgraded iTunes to 9.0.3. At this point I started experiencing problems after shutting down and then booting up the next day. iTunes began playing music slowly, music wasn't garbled, but the songs sounded out of tune (playing from my hard drive). Also, my wireless magic mouse got jumpy and exhibited delayed reaction. I ended up reinstalling OS X 10.6 (from the cd) over the existing OS (10.6.3), and now iTunes works just fine. The reinstall of OS X 10.6 from the cd did wipe out my software upgrades for the wireless peripherals and i have yet to upgrade them. i'm just glad iTunes is working well again.
My questions are: Was the problem with iTunes playing slowly an iTunes issue? Or was the root problem from the upgrade to OS X 10.6.3, and therefor an OS problem? Why was my mouse also displaying problems? And how was I able to get OS X 10.6.3 from Apple several days ago when they don't have that version available for download on the site today? Confusing.

New to a Mac in general and having multiple issues with iTunes - Help?

So I bought my first mac for design/marketing uses (flyers, video etc) and figured I'd consolidate my wife and I's iTunes stuff to it as well...So far most things are done but I have a few snags.
In moving everything over I knew I would end up with a lot of duplicates, we both had a lot of the same music via the CD's we own. The process I did was I connected the external drives from my machine and my wifes machine to the Mac which already had an external blank 200GB drive connected to it and iTunes was setup to use that drive as the music folder location. I then added all the music from the external drives from my machine and wifes machine to iTunes one at a time. I then imported the library playlists etc and changed the path in the files from "M:\itunes music\" to "file://localhost/music" ... This worked, all playlists are back and work.
For handling duplicates on my windows machines in the past I would sort to show duplicates then would go through selecting all duplicates (using ctrl key to select a lot at a time) then delete those in iTunes, it would ask to delete the file and I always had it delete the files because the files themselves were always duplicated (those file being songname1.mp3, songname2.mp3 etc). This worked for the windows machines...not so much for the mac. Apparently the mac didn't duplicate all actual files and instead created duplicate entries based on the same file in a lot of cases.
Snags:
It looks like the duplicates the mac is showing sometimes are showing multiple entries in iTunes for the same physical file, so If I delete the file, I'm deleting the only copy of the song. Sometimes though there are songname1.mp3, songname2.mp3 etc...This makes it extremely difficult to kill out the duplicates because now I have to look to see what file every duplicate is looking at before deciding to delete file or not...I would be sitting here for weeks on end to do that! I need a better solution.
Second snag that I think is related to the first. My iTunes library is showing 213GB's worth of music being stored on the 200GB drive. I think this is due to the duplicate entries using the same file...The library should be more around 140GB's. I just want to confirm this is indeed the issue or know if there is another place a mac would try to store itunes music if the music folder fills up?

Mac OS X Server Print Sharing Issues With Server Admin

Hello,
I have a fresh install of Mac OS X 10.6.5, with just PaperCut and network printers added. When I open Server Admin (on the server itself) and select the Print service I can see 'servermgrd' and 'cups' using 60%+ CPU each for about 3 minutes. Then when I click 'Queues' tab the 'servermgrd' and 'cups' using go back up to using 60%+ CPU each and even if I leave it running for 12 hours it continues to stay like this, until I quit Server Admin.
I currently have 45 shared printer queues.
It sounds like the same issue discussed here:

Mac G5 10.3.9 Samba Issue with Windows 2000 Advanced Server??

I have just installed a new Windows 2000 Advanced Server network but the Mac G5s running OS X 10.3.9 Panther cannot navigate the server - the finder just hangs with a beachball. The PCs can navigate without any problems.
Navigation is fine on the G4 running OS X 10.2.8 Jaguar on the same network.
On the G5 I have tried creating a new user and put the Mac using DHCP but this doesn't solve the problem.
I think I have tracked down the problem to Samba but am not sure - When I type in the direct samba link to the server:-
smb://10.10.0.5
The "SMB Mount" screen asks me which share I would like to mount. This works without a problem. I create a shortcut to the share. This also works until I reboot, then the problem reoccurs!
I think I need to reinstall Samba, or update the Samba software?
Does anyone have any thoughts,
John

Mac Pro 2007 and the Bootloader issues with EFI

So, I've been working to get Arch on an old mac pro that I'm currently using for work. This is the oldest of the old Mac Pros ever made, and uses 32-bit EFI and has 32GB of ram. This means that I need to use a 64-bit OS, but am having immense difficulty getting it to boot.
I am installing to /dev/sdb, and /dev/sda contains the EFI partition and Mac OSX.
I'm currently using rEFInd liveCD to find and boot the .efi files. I can select and boot into grub2 (which is stored completely on the EFI partition on /dev/sda), and have been able configure it so that it can find the vmlinuz-linux and initrd successfully (both stored on /dev/sdb2), but whenever I try to boot it, I get the following message:
"No suitable video mode found.
Booting in blind mode"
At which time no keyboard input is accepted, and I have to reboot and try again. I know that the system uses UGA, and I tried adding that to grub.conf, but no results. Even with grub-mkconfig, I cannot get it to boot without receiving that error message.
How can I get my system to boot correctly? I've been working on this for about a week, so all help is appreciated.
Here was my process.
Steps:
1. Tried to install from new arch linux media. The media would not boot, no matter what I tried. Changed to 64-bit Archbang live-cd. Booted fine.
2. Created a GPT disk with a protective MBR on /dev/sdb (/dev/sda contains the EFI fat32 partition and the macintosh OS).
3. Installed Archbang onto GPT disk on /dev/sdb3, as /root /dev/sdb4 as /home, /dev/sdb2 as /boot and /dev/sda1 as /boot/efi
4. Chrooted from the LiveCD into the disk, updated pacman, installed grub-efi-i386, built the sysimage and kernel (stored in /boot on /dev/sdb2), and grub mkconfig storing all of it to the EFI partition at /boot/efi/EFI/grub
Gdisk prints the following for /dev/sdb
Disk /dev/sdb: 976773168 sectors, 465.8 GiB
Logical sector size: 512 bytes
Disk identifier (GUID): 43A3E85A-F473-468C-B361-6B3383AA65C5
Partition table holds up to 128 entries
First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 976773134
Partitions will be aligned on 2048-sector boundaries

Yes. I verified that the 2012.09.07 official Arch Linux installation iso burned correctly and that the checksum was correct. What happened was that the disc would attempt to load after selecting it in the Mac bootloader, and then I would get a black screen with the following

At this point the keyboard was unresponsive, and not recognized by the USB bus (I use a backlit keyboard, and it was not lit). So I changed strategies.

No, I mean that I have to be able to use 32 Gigabytes of RAM with any application I am using, which cannot be done with a 32-bit OS. This system is used for Memory intensive 3D images and volumes.
WonderWoofy wrote:A 32-bit EFI is incapable of booting a 64-bit OS. I should know, I have a late 2006 MacBook and spent quite a bit of time banging my head against the wall over this. If you want to use a 64-bit OS, you have to use bios emulation. This is in fact why those other distros you mention above boot correctly. Many Mac users tend to (incorrectly) call this mode bootcamp.
Can you provide a link with a procedure or more information about booting in BIOS mode? I think all the places I looked I ignored this because I wasn't sure what the difference was.
WonderWoofy wrote:I think with the new install discs and macs, you have to remove the UEFI. Especially in your case where you need a 32-bit uefi, as this is not an option on the installer. I tried booting an installer on my macbook, and it would not go. These forums were filled with these threads a couple months ago, and the.redikulus.rat pointed everyone to a page in our wiki to remove the UEFI. Personally I did not try I because my mac is not my main machine anymore, but it is reported to work.
You know you can install Arch from any live cd or other distro now that it is a chroot install method. You could before, if you didn't use the AIF, but now there is no choice. I think it would be especially easy with the archbang live cd, as I think that they use the same repositories. So you should be able to install the arch-install-scripts package. If not, you could always simply fire up links and download the package and manually install it. Then you should be able to proceed like normal.
I am unclear what you mean with removing the UEFI. Do you mean removing it from the kernel or the bootloader? Please, point me to this page used by the.redikulus.rat. As for the second half, I have already installed via chroot, and the difficulty is getting it to boot from anywhere.

I have tried this download several times and after 24 hours or more the only system message I get is "connecting to update server".

Hello Gibby500, please download and install firefox, follow the next steps:
1. Download a copy of the latest firefox from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html (full dmg package)
2. '''Trash''' the current Firefox application to do a clean install.

[Mac OS 10.7]SMB sharing issue with IPv6

Hi, Folks,
I knew there are some big changes about SMB server and clients, the SMB sharing on IPv4 can work fine for me too. But the SMB sharing on IPv6 cannot work fine.
After checking the TCP ports with IPv4, the port 139 is closed, and I only can telnet with port 445. For IPv6, both port 139 and 445 are all closed.
Could you give more detail information about it? Or any solution to fix it?

BX100 AHCI driver issue with Storage Executive

Hi, i was searching for solution, but i didnt find exact answer. Mobo: Asus P8H77 V-LESSD: BX100 250GB (MU02)other HDDs: two SATA II seagate drivesOS: Win 7 x64 (cloned from HDD to SSD, switched from IDE to AHCI without reinstalling) I was updating some drivers, bios, etc. from Asus driver download page, everything was ok. But then i noticed that Storage Executive is not working as it should be. First it doesn't want to show me drive detail on the SSD: Drive detail not avaliable after few reloads the page loaded but not as it should be: Drive details without temp and TBW the temperature was 0 and TBW was missing at all, sometimes it showed "firmware update error". AHCI driver is 11.1.0.1006 (2012) from Intel: AHCI Intel driver updated from 6.1.7601.18231 (2006) Microsoft where everything work as it should. The SSD is 2015 drive, so i was expecting newer driver should be "better" then default AHCI 1.0 revision from MS. I had no other problems with the old MS driver, so i uninstalled the Intel driver and im now back to MS 2006 driver. Why is this happening and what driver is better? Im not looking for the highest performance on budget drive, im looking for the best driver for stability, reliability and so on, just best for the drive and i feel like 2006 driver is not that one

As far as I have seen on some systems one driver can work better than the other (msahci vs intel), if both work well on your system you can use whichever you like better
As for the Intel AHCI driver usually you don't have to install entire RST pack with its services and management application - for example on this 11.7.0.1013 driver download page you will find RST installer (iata_cd.exe file) as well as the archives with drivers only (f6flpy-x86.zip and f6flpy-x64.zip).
General rule I use is to use driver version provided by the motherboard/notebook manufacturer unless that driver is too old (drivers below 9.6.0.1014 don't support advanced format drives and personally I do not use anything older than 11.1.0.1006).
I believe that driver provided by manufacturer should best match BIOS option ROM and I have heard that the newest drivers are not always the best for older chipsets.
