MacPro3,1 Restart Fails along with freezes up during activity

My MacPro3,1 restart fails as well as freezes up during some processes like Finder.app. When it freezes up during with Finder.app and I do a Force Quit Relaunch it never relaunches it just quits and never returns. Clean install.

You have posted three different symptoms in three different posts. In isolation, they do not lead anywhere in particular.
But taken together, I think it is worth investigating graphics card failure.
Several non-graphics-dependent features are discernible:
• The Caps lock light on the keyboard is under software control. The software is not completely dead if the caps lock light is changeable.
• Control-eject produces this familiar dialog box:
Any key other than R for Restart, S for Sleep, Esc for Cancel, or Return (to take the default and Shutdown) will produce a SysBeep sound IF the software is still running.
> So, if the software is still running when your described problems occur, you can conclude that your Graphics card is the source of your not seeing it continue to work.

  • Attaching a document along with payment advice during F110

    Hi All,
    when i run F110 all payments with payment mode 'T'(telegraphic) are mailed to the respective vendors and all payments with mode 'K'(Credit) are displayed in the spool(SP01).
    Now the requirement is that the contract of the vendor(contract document is attached in the vendor master-FK02) should also me mailed along with the payment advice.
    I created a Z-program(copied from RFFOEDI1) which downloads this contract document from vendor master onto the desktop and then uploads this and sends it to the customer.
    However when i do this the mail request for the contract document is being generated(as can be seen in the send requests list (t-code SOSG) and the mail also gets triggered when i process it in SCOT), but no mail request is being generated for the payment advice  .
    Also no spool for payment advices with payment mode 'K' is generated in SP01.
    Any help is appreciated and will be rewared generously.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    As far as I remember there are no direct ways in SAP do to that.
    One suggestion. Create a custom program to send emails and save it with a variant in DME (the last Tab in F110). This is the same place where you maintain the details for sending out the EDI information.
    Once you are done with F110, you can carry out the print functionality to execute the program to send out emails with the payment advice.
    hope this helps.
    Regards

  • Smooth way to restart failed R3loads with table splitting

    Hi,
    We are running a Unicode conversion with largest tables split into 10 or more export/import packages.
    Now some of the packages fail, as they normally do.
    We use sockets technique.
    Do you find a smooth and reliable way to
    - delete already imported rows using where clause from the TSK files (both export and import servers)
    - replace "err" with "xeq" (or something else?) in TSK file (both export and import servers)
    - replace "=-" with "=0" in export_state.properties and import_state.properties
    We have done this manually with vi editor, but to me it sounds a bit too risky, as migration monitor itself might be trying to modify contents of .properties files simultaneously.
    We are looking for best practices on this one. All you techies, share your experience!
    Thanks a lot!
    BR.
    Samuli Kaisanlahti
    Certified Netweaver Basis consultant

    Dear Samuli,
    My experience with R3load is that editing and modifying TSK files could lead to problems and inconsistences, that will probably appear weeks after the import.
    I'd recommend that, in case of problems, you start the complete load from scratch.
    Regards
    Francisco

    Your problem description sounds very similar to the following error:

    "Appearance:

    31,Error linking entry to parent; file no 'xxx', parent file no 'yyy', file type 'IndexFile', error '11'

    None. The system must be recovered to the time just before the index was recreated."
    Please note that this is one of those issues that has only been fixed with 7.8.02. 7.8.02 is currently in customer testing, if anyone wants to join, just open a CSS message and test this version before we make it generally available for download.

  • Fails to boot, freeze during start-up

    I have been having the following problems: In past few months, while OS is running, the computer freezes, the screen image gets a smokey overlay color and a white text on black (approx 3x5") error message appears telling me that I must reboot.
    Upon reboot the system generally seemed to run OK until it happened again.
    More recently the computer is not booting up. Generally I get the gray apple logo screen with the spinning wheel, it spins 1-1/2 to 5 times and then freezes. I have removed the non-apple extra 512 RAM, I have reset the PRAM, I have pushed the reset button under the keyboard, I have reset the PMU; and lastly I have tried to boot off of the Apple Hardware Test CD and the original Apple OSX CD. When booting off the CD and holding down the "C" key either the disk ends up poping out without starting up or nothing happens and the CD remains dead in the drive. If it does start-up it seems to try to do so off the HDD, but continues to freeze at the apple screen. One out of 30 tries got a successful startup, but then it froze again when I opened my first application.
    I don't know if it is related, but when plugged in, the back of the computer under the 8 9 keys seems to get excessively hot.

    I went to the Apple Genius today.
    The computer would not start up
    He plugged in an exterior firewire hard drive with it's own startup disk OS software
    After several attemps at pushing the start button the computer started up
    It did not show the internal hard disk icon
    but with utility software it showed up on the hardware list,
    The Genius ran a disk utility software, found that the disk needed directory repair
    Did so along with an optimization and then the imternal hard disk icon showed up and a quick check indicated all my folders were intact.
    We shut down the computer, disconnected the firewire drive and then tried to
    Restart, nothing happening, no whirling or chimes or light from the monitor.
    The keyboard caps lock and numlock lights worked
    Tried to get the power button to function or the keyboard equivalent.
    Even tried the voodo of plugging the firewire drive back in,
    But it justs sits their quietly and dark.
    We agreed that the logic board must be the problem.
    What do you think?
    Do you know whether you can upgrade to a higher speed processor or would you go for a new one?

  • Windows Installer (MSI 5.0) fails with ERROR 1939 during "MsiConfigureServices" action

    When trying to install a setup package using the new MSI 5.0 features of Windows Service Configuration (using Tables: MsiServiceConfig / MsiServiceConfigFailureActions)
    the service config fails and results in a rollback.
    The service itself is installed along with the same package under "LocalSystem" account.
    Regarding MSDN, these feature does have some limitations, but I am not shure if they are applicable here:
    "The services configuration feature of the Windows Installer cannot configure network service accounts, install shared service host (svchost) processes, or restart services stopped as part of the installation"
    (see
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd408113(v=vs.85).aspx )
    I have tried this with serveral variations on the failure actions count and type.
    Using SC_ACTION_NONE or SC_ACTION_RUN_COMMAND actions indeed work and lead to a successful install.
    Can you tell, why SC_ACTION_RESTART or SC_ACTION_REBOOT does not work fine?
    PS: The guys on MS Connect didn't want so solve that issue ;-)

  • MAC PRO (Early 2008) RAID CARD ISSUE - SYSTEM FREEZEHello (hopefully someone can shed some light on my issue)  I own as above a MAC PRO (Early 2008) this has a RAID card installed along with two 15k.7 cheetah hdd (320gb) and a spare drive, (which i m

    Hello (hopefully someone can shed some light on my issue)
    I own as above a MAC PRO (Early 2008) this has a RAID card installed along with two 15k.7 cheetah hdd (320gb) and a spare drive, (which i made a regular drive)
    a while ago i had to replace the RAID card battery, so i did this, over a year later the same thing happened again, but as previous just left it and the system seemed fine for ages, until last night i was working in PHOTOSHOP and everything just froze and the screen kind of appeared GREEN, could not do a single thing. So restarted the mac, this time grey screen for ages and a message appeared, (macs version of blue screen) (see attached).
    I restarted the machine and this time a flashing question mark folder!
    could not do a thing.
    so i found my copy of snow leopard and got the computer to run this and at least launch the DISK UTILITY and (Interestingly in the drop down menu RAID UTILITY was also in the menu) but it did not matter which utility i used the (RAID or DISK) neither could see any of drives, just the dvd drive.
    so looked around on you tube and various forums and discovered if i take out the RAID CARD and re-plug the main lead from the RAID card back in to the LOGIC BOARD I would be reverting the MAC to a normal regular non-RAID computer.
    After performing this HARDWARE task and inserting all three HDD, and running the DISK utility from the drop down menu via the SNOW LEOPARD disc.
    (interestingly since the RAID card had been removed the RAID UTILITY  from the drop down menu no longer appeared). running disk utility I can now only see the regular (spare) hdd and DVD Drive, but the two RAID HDD , again, still do not show up DISK UTILITY?
    O.K. so i could chuck out the RAID card (AND RAID HDD) and just go with a regular set-up, and run a back restore from Time Machine on a NEW hdd purchased.
    but what is wrong with the RAID, is the card at fault or are both HDD used for the RAID knackered? can i perform any tests, to see whats what?
    thanks for your help in advanced.

    hello people, the issue was in fact the GRAPHICS card nothing to do with the HDD or RAID system ( although this did cause issues with the RAID system it basically lost its way) below is my replay to another similar  problem some one else had!
    working in photoshop and then everything stopped working and the lot froze! only option was to force shutdown (via button).
    and try to restart, hoping all was fine, this was not the case :-(
    I had the added issue of the RAID card system, that i have, this was confused to say the lease and would not behave or work, causing the start up to hang.
    so i thought the HDD must be bust and the root cause. ( but soon learnt it was not the cause )
    ...bought a new HDD removed the RAID card and replugged the cable from RAID card into LOGIC board, ( making the computer act like any normal non-RAID system). I managed to install the OSX, using the snow leopard disk way. once the mac was running, i started to notice the screen would flicker and started to see 'artefacts'. so i started to reveal my symptoms to the web and forums and soon discovered that my graphics card could be the issue all along?.
    (nvidia geforce 8800gt 2x dvi).
    I read up on that a fix, could be either A. reply the thermal paste, as the card could be over heating or B. stick the card in the oven trick.
    Tried option A. first and nothing still issues, so last night took the plunge carried out option B. and ta da it worked! i even managed to run
    from my new HDD my lasted install OS X, absolutely fine. I then thought, maybe i could repair my RAID so replugged all the HARDWARD back in and
    carried out a disk repair and disk permissions on drives( took a small amount of time), via the SNOW LEOPARD disc - (Disk utilities) and this worked and now have my system working as it was just over 6 days ago.
    what was the cost to get this?  bought a new hdd so 40.00gbp and thermal paste and cleaner kit ( your still need to do this ) search video card trick on you tube.
    and renew thermal paste, approx 15.00gbp, technically i don't need the new HDD, but it was all part of the trial and error way i went. ( i do have extra storage as a result!)"

  • My iPod isn't getting along with my PC!

    Hello all,
    I've been having a great deal of trouble with my system over the last couple of days and I've figured out that my computer seems to work fine when my iPod is not connected to it, but once I plug my iPod in, things start to go wrong. For instance, my computer will not fully boot if my iPod is plugged in before I turn my computer on. Without the iPod, it boots fine. The iPod is not being recognized by my computer or iTunes and every time I open "My Documents" when my iPod is plugged in, I will end up having to restart my computer (which will also not turn off correctly when the iPod is connected) because the "My Computer" screen ends up not responding and then when I go to "End Process" for "My Computer", the icons on my desktop disappear along with my "Start" bar. Any suggestions? Thank you.

    chances are in the bios it is set to allow booting from a USB/firewire port.
    Soooo when the IPOD is connected on start up it tries to boot from it.
    Go into the start up bios and disable booting from firewire/usb.

  • My Macbook Pro will not shut down, restart or sleep, with either Apple Logo at the top or the power button.

    Hi, I have a 13" Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion, and I've had it for less than six months.
    It has worked perfectly ever since I got it and I have been completely happy with it, until today. My computer's had a variety of problems; The screen has turned black three times now in the middle of me using it (actively typing or using the touch pad). After clicking some keys or swiping the touchpad, it comes back, but I cannot figure out why this is happening. The big problem, however, is that it won't shutdown.
    I usually shut my computer down at night, and I was trying to today, but it just didn't work. I have tried shutting down by pressing the power button; no dialogue or question box comes up. I have tried shutting down from the Apple Logo at the top left of the screen; nothing happened. My computer won't sleep, restart or shutdown at all. When I close the screen, it goes darkens and lights up as usual, but it won't shut down! What's more, none of the options in the Apple Logo will work; for this post, I tried to see the About This Mac screen, and nothing happens. At best, the Rainbow Disc of Pain will appear and then just go away. The menu does pop up though when I click on it, my Wi-Fi is fine, the apps work, the keyboard's fine, the touchpad is great, everything works but that.
    I have tried Command+Tab to see open applications; I have shut them all down till only Finder is left. I have tried click Force Quit, of course, nothing happened. Nothing at all, not even a dialogue box. I have tried emptying my trash, along with all the 'sketchy' applications. I have plugged my computer in, just in case. Nothing has made any difference and I am very worried!
    I love my macbook pro, and have up to this point, but now I am extremely worried about it; all my important files are on it, and I have nothing to back up with.
    Please, please, please, please help!
    FYI; I have avast! Virus Database. I cannot imagine that that would cause a problem. Please help me!!!

    Yay! Solved my own question; just did a hard shutdown, worked like a charm! Funny, didn't before. But who am I to question salvation?

  • When I click on the iPhoto a gray appears along with the perpetual wheel but does not load.   Any recommendations?

    When I click on the iPhoto a gray appears along with the perpetual wheel but does not load.   Any recommendations?

    Assuming you're using iPhoto 09 or later:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • OWB 9.0.4 ability to restart failed ETL jobs ?

    Hi all,
    Does OWB 9.0.4 provide the ability to restart failed ETL jobs ?
    For example in a Module of 20 mappings, 15 mappings have completed with success. Mapping 16 fails and hence OWF exists with failure. In the event the problem is rectified can OWB restart at mapping 16 rather than from mapping 1.
    Regards
    Nick

    Nick,
    At the moment there is no way to explicitly start from mapping 16, unless there are specific conditions that caused your mapping to fail.
    For example, if you have enabled resumable statements on the database level and your mapping would run into a situation where these can be leveraged (e.g. you run out of tablespace) then you could resume the execution and the process flow would continue.
    Also, if there is an external situation that causes your execution to fail (e.g. mapping does not exist) then you can use Workflow's restart capabilities to resume.
    If however there is a data reason why a mapping fails, then you will have to manually intervene and resolve the process. If your mappings have been defined in such a way that only changed data is being captured (may be a good idea after all...) then you could just rerun the entire process flow. In other cases... I am afraid you'll have to go in manually to execute the individual mappings and fix the process flow as such.
    Mark.
