Repeated error in Console - Help needed

Hi guys,
I'm having an issue with a particular error message that is repeating constantly in the console messages list - I'm suspecting that this may be yet another reason for my macbook pro slowing down. The message is listed below and repeats constantly, for instance at 10:13 I had it list in different variations 71 times in the one minute time period.
I've tried my best to research it, and get to the bottom of the issue however I'm now at a dead end and hoping you guys may have some idea's?
21/03/2015 10:13:33.372 com.apple.mtmd[39]: -[FileAttrs writeAttributesToItemAtPath:] setattrlist failed for path '/.MobileBackups/Computer/2015-03-21-101008/Volume/Users/**********/Library/Cal endars' (errno 2)

****** is the user name of the computer being displayed.
That's just 2 of the message variations however it has multiple formats and changes literally by the second. However it always starts the same and always relates to the .MobileBackups/ path
I suspect it's related to my MS Office for Mac software which is the 2011 version.
I also use a standalone portable hard drive for time machine backups.
However when I turn off the backups and disconnect, the messages keep coming.
Any help/advice appreciated,
Thanks in advance

Added ram to mac pro, get ecc memory error and 4mem/9/40000006: B:0 C:0 R:0

I recently purchased a 2.8 8 core Mac pro (early '08 model). It came shipped with 2gigs of ram (one gig on riser card a, one gig on riser b).
I purchased 2 1gig sticks from ramjet, i followed a apple tutorial and installed the 2 original sticks in riser card A (slots 1 and 2), and the 2 new Ramjet sticks in riser card B (slots 1 and 2) for a total of 4gigs.
When I powered on the computer everything was fine, clicked the black apple logo to view "about this mac" and the 4gigs total memory showed up. However when i clicked "more info" then "memory"... it showed the status on one of the new ramjet sticks as "ecc error"
I rebooted the computer and the error message was gone, all sticks showed a status of "ok"
a few days went by and i was constantly checking the system profiler and the status would always show the sticks as "ok" and the computer acts totally normal, i run pro tools, logic pro, photoshop and it would run flawlessly.
The fact it showed an error a few days prior was still bugging me so i decided to call the applecare protection and consult with them... they said to remove and re-install the memory, reboot holding down the "option + command + R + P" to reset memory, then to reboot again holding down the "D" to do a Apple hardware Test.
the first test showed pass, i checked the extended test and that showed a 4mem/9/40000006: B:0 C:0 R:0 error, the second and 3rd tests froze and i had to push the power button to reboot.
I contacted Applecare once again and they said that since my computer was not acting funny nor freezing during apps or showing any errors that it should be fine, as long as the status said "ok" in system profiler and all four gigs registered in "about this mac" that no harm is going to happen.
when i asked what that long error code was she said it did not come up in her computer but she thinks its because its not official apple memory.
I tried searching online in forums to solve this but i cant find anything on that specific error code.
sorry for the long post but i wanted to be as detailed as possible to get the best advice
thanks and any help would be much appreciated.
and by the way i did contact ramjet and they are willing to replace my memory but there advice was also not to worry that its only giving that error due to the memory not being "official" apple memory, but if it registers and the computer acts totally normal to just leave it be.
thanks again,
David

thanks for the reply Kappy,
yes they have heat sinks and ramjet states they are "apple grade"
i downloaded the istat widget (not sure how accurate that is) and it says the apple sticks on A run at 32 degrees and the ones on B run at 31 degrees
the comp is practically brand new and when i opened it for the ram install it still looked brand new (no dust) its only a few weeks old.
I am going to return the sticks for sure to be safe but where im lost is.... yes it did show ecc error once, never again, its been a week now still no ecc error. I ran tech tool deluxe and everything passes, i ran "Rember memory test" and it passes, system profiler registers all 4 gigs and shows status as ok, computer acts totally normal? but the apple hardware test fails i guess im lost to why the comp says the ram is ok nd passes most tests just not the AHT test.
Thanks for your help i hope the new sticks dont show any error
David
O and I forgot to mention i called applecare again and requested a different agent to help me and he said Ecc stands for error correcting? so if it came up once and not again it did what it was suppose to do... corrected itself (now that sounds like more b.s to me but i have no idea about computer stuff )

[URGENT] Mac Pro not booting, Fan error but fans are working.

Hello,
My server G5 is stuck on grey screen with spinning wheel. I ran the AHT and got the following:
2FAN/4/8: CPU A INTAKE
All the fans are spinning. I would really really appreciate if I can get any help or advice. I tried searching for this AHT error but could not find anything solid.
This is our main server and its crucial to our organization and I am sweating bullets here.
I reseted memory and unplugged all RAID drives. The three LED on the Logic board are Red, Yellow and Green; Power On, Trickle and Open Firmware respectively.
Thanks for any help.

Just to say that usually it helps to include the make/model of RAID controllers, whether it is hardware RAID or not. The Mac Pro Apple RAID card IS a PITA and is particular sometimes about drives and its battery reconditioning as well as mounting drives and time to create a hardware RAID5.
When a drive causes trouble it is often though not always because of directory being damaged and OS X can't even inspect to see if there is a system or if it can be mounted.
And because the G5 normally only has two SATA drives, to use three requires a bracket or something else to add drives, like Sonnet G5 Jive. And then a PCI SATA controller with internal ports. But that is just your average SATA controller.
If it was a Mac Pro the thread could and should have been moved to another forum. And you still refer to this as a Mac Pro, not PowerMac. Which leads me to wonder.
Molex y-splitters as needed in a G5 but three yrs for a set of drives, I'd say they were due for backup + erase/initialize and restore. Hopefully you kept them in shape with Disk Warrior during that time (don't rely on just Apple First Aid to maintain and repair/rebuild directories).

Mac Pro Switching off repeatedly

I have a 4,1 Mac Pro, with 5 Gb Ram. Under heavy load it began turning off about 15 days ago; it seemed to be a temperature issue, because it occurred during the warmest hours of the day, (I have to say that I checked the temperatures with iStat and everything seems to be normal, the CPU temp never passed 77 ºC, and the computer went off at about 60º) I waited a little and then it began working normally. It happened two or three times in these two weeks, and then, last friday, I was working on some C4D renderings, it turned off and wouldn't turn on again.
On Monday, it worked perfectly fine during the whole day, but on Wednesday I ran the hardware test and got three different results.
The first time, I ran a short test, and showed no problems at all.
For a second try, I ran the extended test, and the computer turned off; I opened the side cover, waited a few minutes, turned it on again and about 15 minutes later i got a hardware error message:
4MEM/64/40000006:0x7a0cfl98
I thought it had something to do with the memory modules, so I took off the 2 Gb DIMM that did not come with the machine originally.
I ran the test again and it showed no problems at all. I did a test with C4D and with After Effects and the machine worked fine.
This morning, just a couple of minutes after I turned it on, I was watching a video somebody sent me by e mail, and the computer went off; I ran the hardware test and it turned off again; I opened the side cover, set again the 2 Gb memory module in the place it was before, left the cover open, and it passed the extended test with no problems, and i have been using it for almost an hour and a half with no issues.
Has somebody suffered from this before?

Just tha thought, but when was the last time you blew the dust out of your machine?

2008 Mac Pro Freeze/Shutdown/Slow Errors

I have a 2008 Mac Pro. I have had it since it was brand new and it has been a lemon from the very beginning. I already had the logic board replaced twice under Apple Care. I am really hoping it is not a failing logic board again. I know this generation of Mac Pro's are famous for issues.
The symptoms started about three weeks ago. At first it would suddenly just randomly restart while I was just surfing the web. No warning, no freeze, just a restart. Back then this would only happen about every 2 or 3 days. Recently the problems have increases in frequency to sometime 2 or 3 times a day.
More recent symptoms include freezing but it won't restart itself. The cursor is just stick in place on screen so I have to manually hit power button to restart. Another symptom I have noticed was it became slow as molasses. I opened activity monitor but the CPU was not overloaded and ram wasn't close to being full either. I was not rendering video simply surfing.
Here is what I have done so far. Zapped Pram multiple times. I have restarted and used Disk Utility to repair all disks. I have unplugged all cables and power to reset SMC several times. Under system information Diagnostics tests passed. Ram all seems ok. Hard drives smart status all report fine. About a year ago I had issues as well but that was easier to diagnose. It was a bad video card and before my computer would crash the monitor would get screen artifacts. This time I don't have a clue what is causing the problem.
I will be glad to provide any and all info you ask for to help me solve the problem. Crash logs, any and all specs, apps installed, just ask and I will provide the info if you can help me narrow down the issue. My next steps were going to be to open it up and clean out dust, remove and reinstall hard drives and ram because I know sometimes they just don't connect properly for some reason perhaps because computer gets jostled. I was also considering reinstalling Mavericks but it seems more like a hardware issue to me. Thanks for any and all help. I am self-employed and depend on my Mac Pro for my livelihood so really need this problem solved ASAP.

The RAM is less than 3 years old. I hit power button with SMC. Just downloaded Etrecheck. Your link didn't work but this one did http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck
I have already gone into my User control log in items and removed two log in items with yellow exclamation marks that I think are the ones highlighted in red in the log below.
A UPS is simply not an option right now nor is a SSD. My primary drive is less than a year old. If I can provide any other details let me know.
I know this is almost certainly not malware related but running Clamware scan as a last resort which is why you see that using most CPU right now.

Mac Pro 1,1 hangs indefinately at startup: Help Me Diagnose?

Hello all, trying to determine what could possibly be causing this issue with my Mac Pro Quad 2.66 xeon machine running Snow Leopard.
It will turn on but does not boot up, instead hanging indefinately at the white screen with apple logo, displaying a perpetually rotating load icon.
Perhaps the pros can help me figure this out...
Here are what may be some relevant details:
-Will not boot to system install disk
-Does not take keyboard command for auto disc-boot (c on startup).
-DOES take keyboard command for boot disc switching on startup (option on startup).
Sees install disc via this method, but machine will not boot to it.
-Only very recently, machine turns on automatically when simply plugged in, without the need to press the power button
(this started last night after the machine has been off for days).
-There are no error LED lights anywhere, on the logic board nor on the RAM risers.
Here are some steps I've taken so far:
-Removed hard drives to attempt forceboot to install disc and rule out a system drive issue; no change in symptom.
-Set up various RAM configs to check for RAM problems: no RAM, one pair of each set on Riser A, swapping risers, etc; no change in symptom.
-Failure to boot to Install Disc with any button combo at startup suggested some sort of optical drive problem so
removed optical drive completely; no change in symptom.
I am baffled by this, and while it is an older machine with the 'known issue-laden' Nvdia GeForce 8800GT dual graphics card,
there are no graphic anomolies whatsoever. I have the Arctic Cooler S1 heatsink/fan system in there and so always been nice and cool.
Any ideas folks? This has brought my studio to a complete standstill
Thank you kindly for your input and happy friday to you!

By the way, Ive done the Verbose mode and there are, as you guys stated, mostly lines of information I cannot understand. However, some things that stuck out as possible negatives with words like 'failed' appeared,
perhaps these lines they will look like something to some of you...
Most notable were the final lines at the bottom of the verbose readout page,
(reads as such but on single line):
launchctl: CFURLCreateDataAndPropertiesFromResource(/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.appl e.auditd.plist) failed: -10
immediately following was another launchctl line, seemingly related to the previous:
launchctl: no plist was returned for: /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.auditd.plist
then yet another launchctl line which read (all on one line):
launchctl: dubious permissions on file (skipping): /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.adobe.Switchboard.plist
then this one:
launchctl: please convert the following to launchd: /etc/mach_init.d/dashboardadvisoryd.plist
The very last line on the verbose readout page reads:
Notice: new kext com.paceapp.kext.pacesupport.snowleapord, v5.7 matches prelinked kext but can't determine if executables are the same (no UUIDs)
Another thing that stuck out was a line after the details of launching and bootup sequences (simply details powerup, verbose startup etc.) but then this line appears afterword:
Bug: Launchctl.c:3557 (23930):17: ioctl(s6, SIOCAIFADDR_IN6, &ifra6) ! = -1
at the very top of the readout, there are seven lines referring to 'processors', looks like this:
AppleACPICPU: Processor Id= 1 LocalApicId= 1: Enabled
AppleACPICPU: Processor Id= 2 LocalApicId= 7: Enabled
AppleACPICPU: Processor Id= 3 LocalApicId= 6: Enabled
AppleACPICPU: Processor Id= 4 LocalApicId= 0: Disabled
AppleACPICPU: Processor Id= 5 LocalApicId= 0: Disabled
AppleACPICPU: Processor Id= 6 LocalApicId= 0: Disabled
AppleACPICPU: Processor Id= 7 LocalApicId= 0: Disabled
There is a line about mid page that reads as such:
BSD root: disk0s2, major 14, minor 2
anyway, not sure what any of it means but thanks again for reading and for all the advice.
Best,
-S

Mac Pro not reporting memory amount correctly - please help

Hi all,
I have recently purchased an additonal 2 x 4GB Crucial DDR2 FB-DIMM 667Mhz sticks for my Mac Pro Dual Core Intel Xeon 2 x 2.66GHz computer. I have installed these correctly to Riser A 3+4 alongside 2 x 512MB Kingston sticks in Riser A 1+2, and 2 x 2GB Kingston sticks in Riser B 1+2.
I am seeing now that instead of the 13GB I should have showing in system profiler (which I initially saw after installation of the Crucial sticks), I am seeing 11GB. The two 2GB Kingston sticks are both showing incorrectly as 1GB.
Can anyone help with regards what I should do to check if it's a Riser problem or the two sticks, etc... I've ran a memory scan with TechTool Pro 5 and that came back fine, though for 11GB Ram and not the actual 13GB I should have/see.
I'm going to call Crucial and my local retailer tomorrow where I got the Kingston Ram pre-installed on purchase of the Mac, and that Kingston has a life-time warrenty anyway, but still I'd like to try and resolve this and look into the issue further myself too.
Please can someone kindly advise me what steps to take, I'd really appreciate it.
Cheers,
Ash

My advice, over the 5+ yrs Mac Pro memory:
Try with just the Crucial.
Remove the pair of 512s - doesn't add much
having 6 DIMMs is WORST config
best is 4 DIMMs matched quad set: 4 x 2GB or 4 x 4GB.
the smaller DIMMs should go down to 3/4.
Forget TTPro to test RAM. Use AHT yes but "no errors" usually means Riser is okay and mechanically the DIMMs are okay but might need more.
However, it is next to impossible to say for certain, and you can always find mixing brands or batches same can be a problem.
I would not say "correct" though.
correctly to Riser A 3+4 alongside 2 x 512MB Kingston sticks in Riser A 1+2, and 2 x 2GB Kingston sticks in Riser B 1+2.
High density or largest in DIMM slots 1 & 2
Sometimes a configuration works that doesn't make total sense, like all the 4 x 2GB all on Riser A.
Riser A: 2 x 4GB
Riser B: 2 x 2GB

I have a solution for your problem, it took a little investigating and work to get FaceTime for Mac working. Here's what I did: Go to the folder /Applications then right click on FaceTime.app go into /Contents/LaunchAgents and look for two files "com.apple.imagent.plist" and "com.apple.apsd-ft.plist" and copy them into your /Home/yourusername/Library/LaunchAgents. If you can't find "com.apple.apsd-ft.plist" do a Google search for it and download it, the name will be "com.apple.apsd.plist.txt", do a cmd-I on it and rename it "com.apple.apsd-ft.plist" put this file in the same folder as "com.imagent.plist", launch FaceTime and if your webcam lights up, your good to go.
Hope this helps.

Early 2008 Mac Pro, NVIDIA Quadro 5600, and Adobe CS5 - HELP!!!

Hello, I am currently pulling my hair out over my GPU situation. I'm eagerly awaiting the ship date for CS5, but I'm concerned about one of its system requirements, where it says an OpenGL capable card must be supported for the software to work.
So I went to their handy chart explaining which cards are supported, and mine, the Quadro FX 5600, is not listed on the Mac side. It is however listed on the Windows side.
But when I bought my Mac Pro, the 5600 was being offered by Apple, they're the ones who installed it for me! Haven't had a problem in CS4, but now I'm afraid I won't see the significant boost in power Adobe is promising from CS5.
When I called Adobe about it, I was on the phone for more than 45 minutes, talking to people in India who I even got to admit don't actually use the software, and ultimately told me they simply couldn't answer the question.
So if anyone could advise me wether or not my Early 2008 Mac Pro with Quadro FX 5600 graphics card will support OpenGL in After Effects CS5, I'd be eternally grateful.
Thanks so much!

I have always assumed there would be no problem. You can download from
http://www.realtech-vr.com/glview/download.html
the OpenGL Extensions Viewer, which, when launched DIRECTLY TESTS with which versions of the OpenGL standard your card is compatible. (Right now there appear to be download problems with the URL above (a 421 FTP error: server is limiting available connections.)
I'm also hoping this indicates no problems with CS5!
Hope this helps.

Early 2008 Mac Pro frequently shut downs during start up, Help!

Hello all,
My early 2008 Mac Pro has gradually started having the following problems:
It will often shut down when it goes to sleep.
It has shut down randomly a few times.
And just today it shut down about 5-10 seconds after being turned on. It took about 6 tries before I could get it to turn on.
I have tried all of theusual software remedies (disk utility, different startup drives, resetting the SMC, PRAM, etc.)
I have run apple hardware test on loop for several hours with no errors appearing...
The computer also often loads up to a circle with with a slash through the middle sign, though I am not sure if this is related (it started happening when it switched my system over to a SSD).
I am wondering if this is simply a slowly sying PSU and if replacing it might help? If there any way of monitoring this perhaps? I somehow thought that if it was the PSU then it would simply die completely rather than fade like this...
Any ideas much appreciated!

There are multiple threads and reports of issues with Icy Dock - there is one on Amazon that lines up properly.
The drive sled length of 2009-2012 Mac Pro are longer. Maybe OWC needs to be clearer.
You'e right half-way and maybe some corrupt plist or interferring process you have, or even another hardware item or cable - external - even printer drivers or something that refuses or does not like sleep. Controller card?
All around I'd have to vote for Samsung 830 model. Then Intel 520. Crucial is out with x4 now (Or is it "V"?)
SSD firmware continues to be trouble. Even May-June the SandForce firmware had major issue and reason to hold off any using theirs. Reason to see if yours needed to be updated. Someone last week with m4 found they had old firmware and needed to update it.

Mac Pro and Wake reason = UHC3 . Please help me.. what is this?

Hey,
i am having a serious issue with my Mac Pro eraly 08 and my wireless Apple Keyboard.
Here are the logs:

The Mac is waking up randomly and always showing this errorcode. The keyboard is showing a flashing green LED while the mac awakes.
What is this? Anybody familiar with this error?

This is for a Mac that won't sleep.
Here is Apple's KB article HT1776 with their tips.
Mine follow;
USB devices and hubs often cause Macs to not sleep or wake quickly from sleep (notably HP printers and scanners, HP all in ones, and Cannon scanners). Disconnect all USB except for keyboard and mouse and try. If it sleeps, add one back at a time testing after each one to find the culprit.
If you've set your Mac to receive faxes, it may not be able to sleep. It might also have a damaged preferences file.
If you use your Mac for faxing, open System Preferences. click Print & Fax, click the Faxing tab, and uncheck the Receive Faxes On This Computer box.
If that doesn't work or you've never faxed on your Mac, go to Finder/Hard Drive /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and delete the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist and com..apple.AutoWake.plist files (if your Mac asks, type your admin. password).
If the latter file isn't present in the folder, go to user name(probably your name)/Library/Preferences, delete the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist file, and reboot your Mac.
Hope this helps!
P.S. One member here reported this (Michael Gleason);
"I have had this problem with my IMac G5. It is surprisingly irritating. LaCie's Silverkeeper backup software was the cause. By default it gave itself permission to wake up the computer to check if a backup was needed. Do you have this or a similar program installed which has scheduled activities including wake-up permissions as an option?"
Dave Hamilton provided this link, xlr8yourmac.com, to a member, which addresses failure of deep sleep with some users that updated and added new FireWire and USB card.
Also, here is Apple KB article TA2469 about PCI cards and sleep.
tomhorvat adds this; After few days of messing around I found out that I had desktop background (wallpaper) set to change every 1 minute.
After unchecking "Change picture..." in system preferences (under Desktop/Screen saver), my powerbook went to sleep all by itself.
Tristan Currier noticed this; "I have a Canon printer(shared) and my imac would not sleep. I opened up printer/fax in system prefs and noticed it said the printer was in use when it was off. Opened up the printer queue and noticed about 7 pending documents. Deleted them all and now it sleeps.
Check the printer queue!"
Allan Jones says "sometimes there is Network activity: launch System Preferences > Energy Saver > "Options" tab and uncheck "Wake for Ethernet network administrator access."
Good Luck!  DALE

Mac Pro has slowed to a crawl - Please Help Me!

Hello,
For some time now my Wireless or Wired Internet connection using my Mac Pro has slowed to almost nothing. For example, This page took 5 mins to load and now Internet use has become unusable.
I feel its my Mac Pro because all other Apple Computer run very fast wirelessly. I have (2) New iMac's (1) Apple TV and (1) Apple iPhone. All stream and surf the Internet blazingly fast.
My Mac Pro is constantly being redirected to other sites (mostly **** related) and a huge amount of Pop ups (even though pop ads are disabled in Safari). All Internet browsers perform the same on my Mac Pro or ANYTHING Internet related including WoW, Software updates or even iTunes Music Down loads.
I really feel that in some way (which is shocking) I am infected with "something" that is making my computer crawl on the Internet. Redirection of websites is just now very aggravating.
I am looking at the (2) Original Disks that came inside the Mac Pro Box. I'm seriously considering wiping my system clean and starting from scratch.
I currently hold NOTHING on my Factory 320GB HD other than programs.
I have installed (2) 1TB drives and created a RAID slice thus creating a single HD icon on my desktop that reads 1.8TB. Thats is where all my Music, Photos, and Movies reside.
My question is....
When I wipe my system will that RAID be broken? Will I lose everything on those 2 drives or will using the restore CD's leave all that information in tact?
Please let me know before I proceed.
Thank you for your time.
John

Your RAID won't be touched. But back it up today if you haven't yet!
I use Firefox for security with noscript and some other filters, but I also hardened the router firewall to manually block services, ports and add rules - both incoming and outgoing.
You might want to look at LittleSnitch or NetBarrier and do some logging.
I've seen/heard where older routers and modems were fine, but not with Mac Pro or with Intel Macs in general and needed to be replaced or firmware updated. Problems with the latest updates for Airport have been seen by some, and worth checking into - on forums, news sites or hit google.
And of course check what processes are getting loaded and run; manually delete caches, history, metadata, even the bookmarks cache.
~/Library/Caches/Metadata
There are issues with fake Flash updates; normal sites (like CNN) suffering from SQL-injection. Best to run with javascript off for now.
Might want to look into ClamXav and other malware protection. But I would switch and see how Firefox and Opera behave. And turn off java, script, and plug-ins while you consider your options and try to find out why.
