Mouse tooltip is locking the entire system

Hello friends at www.oracle.com ,
after defining some tooltips to Forms fields like text items, display items, push buttons, etc., I've seen that the following sequence of actions may cause a system lock. (Assume there's a main Forms program, and a Forms sub-program has been called through main menu.)
1. Put the mouse pointer over a field that has tooltip text.
2. Close the Forms sub-program by pressing ALT-F4 (Windows shortcut to close any program); it will take you back to the Forms main program. (Tooltip text will still stay stopped at mouse position)
3. Move to another Windows program, like Explorer for example, and try to return to the main program. This main program is now locked, shows the 'Working...' message at hint line, and stays locked.
Only CTRL+ALT+DEL will stop it, and the Forms main program never sends any answer.
Could you please tell me why does a simple tooltip may lock an entire system?
Hope I was clear - if not, please ask me.
Thanks, and best regards,
Franklin Gongalves Jr.

Quit the App Store app and reset your iPad.
Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

How to delay the audio to lip sync? (of the entire system)

I`m using a LED 32" LG screen via hdmi, but the audio is outputing directly via usb to my Mbox Mini, and the image have a small delay (5 frames) but the audio not, so the result is out of sync videos.
Of course there`s tons of apps that can solve the problem by compensating, like VLC and MPlayer X, but the problem is that i`m a video editor and use FCP and Motion all the time. For playbacking with these apps (after making the 5 frames compensation) turns into a perfect results, but during video editing it`s a pain to lip sync.
Of course as i know that the delay is 5 frames, when i output i could delay the entire audio, but it would be a pain making this everytime and for internet streaming the videos would still off sync.
There`s anyway i can delay the audio of the entire system?
PS: I`m using Lion 10.7,

If you want other activity to take place, you could use a
timeout object:
dialogue = window().new("D_XML_Test (Greek2)")
dialogue.filename = "path to file"
t = timeout().new("mOpenWindow", 60000, #mOpenWindow,
dialogue)
-- #movie script:
on mOpenWindow aWindow, aTimeout
if ilk(aTimeout, #timeout) then aTimeout.forget()
if ilk(aWindow, #window) then aWindow.open()
end
If you don't mind locking out activity, you could use the
delay()
function, but I wouldn't recommend that approach

Safari pinwheels and freezes the entire system.

Safari pinwheels and freezes the entire system.
I've read numerous threads with this Safari pinwheeling theme, but none of the posted solutions I've found work for me.
The problem:
Safari will almost always on opening, and frequently when filling in forms on websites, start pinwheeling. The whole system then slows down, and then eventually freezes. Even the dock bar freezes. When this happens, I can't even bring up the Force Quit bar. The freezing will often last several minutes, then all of a sudden, all my various previously ignored mouse and key clicks cycle through. When Force Quit finally starts, then everything freezes again. Eventually, Force Quit will show Safari as not responding, and once in a while the system then will start responding, but usually I have to kill Safari.
The problem subsided a little bit on the opening the application problem when I switched my start page from Apple.com to Google.com, thinking that maybe it was just too much graphics crap coming in on the Apple site.
The problem happens on both my Airport and cell modem network connections.
I may have seen this behavior once with Firefox, but haven't been able to reproduce it.
Generally I only have a few things running: Excel, Messenger, Safari.
Things I've tried to fix this:
Reset Safari
Clear Safari Cache
Delete Safari folder in the system cache folder
Went into the Energy Saver in Preferences and unchecked, "put disk to sleep when not in use" for both the battery and power adpater settings
Limit number of tabs open
I'd try restarting Safari occasionally, but the problem usually happens on opening.
I've emptied the trash, and made sure there is ample open disk space (10gb right now).
Resolved duplicate fonts.
I have no third party apps to affect Safari or networking.
I've reset the machine by unplugging it and holding the power button.
My computer is a MacBookPro 15" with all the latest software and firmware updates and 2gb RAM. This has become so frustrating, it's been very tempting to just throw the laptop at the wall and go back to my Windows laptop...

I'd say the bad blocks were behind the problems you were seeing. Their existence points to either a defective HD, or directory corruption. The latter usually can be repaired by using a Utility such as Disk Warrior, or as you did, reformatting the drive.
Best approach to minimizing directory problems is to do routine maintenance twice a month. Have a look at this MacWorld article for suggestions.
For routine maintenance I use OnyX. There is no charge for the software, but I believe the developer asks for a donation.
It's very easy to use. I run it twice a month. Once it is installed, you would double click on the OnyX icon in your application folder (or drag an icon to your dock for quick access) to open the application. After entering your administrator password, you would select "automation". The panel looks like this:
Select the same items I have checked. The program takes about 5 to 10 minutes to run. Leave your computer alone, that is, don't use it for anything else until OnyX is finished. Once complete, restart the computer and you're good to go.
Lastly, the most effective maintenance is having a full backup of your system on an external hard drive. All machines fail eventually, despite the best maintenance. If you had a hard drive failure without any backup, then you would lose all your information, including documents, images, songs, etc. Not a pretty picture.
For your system, you would purchase either a USB or Firewire Drive for your new Intel Machine. The key here is creating a "clone" backup on the drive, which you back up regularly, or at least once a week. For the backup process I use SuperDuper. Very easy to use. The initial backup takes about 1 to 2 hours. Subsequent backups take 5 to 10 minutes. Total $$$ investment can be anywhere between $100 - $250 depending on the size of your Hard Drive.
Post back if you need any other information relative to your questions here.

FCPX crashes the entire system when applying Ken Burns

When applying Ken Burns to an image, when repositioning the start and/or end frame the entire system locks up, not just FCPX. The cursor can still be moved, but other than that the entire system is unresponsive and the only solution is turning off my iMac and rebooting. That is how the problem started, a few days later during the same process the entire screen turns black and rebooting is once again the only way out.
Is anyone else familiar with this problem?

There's a little icon that appears in the Project on top of each picture that has Ken Burns applied, click on that icon (it's a cropping square icon). that will bring up the Inspector and show you the red/green boxes that indicate the area where the zoom starts and ends for Ken Burns. If you drag the edges of both the red/green boxes individually to fit the entire picture, I think you will get the effect of not cropping. But it won't really be Ken Burns either because it won't zoom/pan across the image as it plays back.

I have an Apple Macbook and will be backing up the entire system to an external hard drive utilizing the Time Machine application. when I am doing this, will the data on the external drive that I am using be erased?

I have an Apple Macbook and will be backing up the entire system in order to upgrade to a newer OS. I will be using an external hard drive to do this and there is already data on it. To complete the backup, i will be using the Time Machine application. Does this application wipe out all of the existing data on the external hard drive, or will it create a new "folder" for the backup?
thank you

No, but as steve359 states you should use a dedicated hard drive for backups. It you need a temporary backup then you can use the drive provided it has sufficient space for all your data on the hard drive.
When Time Machine finds that the drive has data on it already it may decide to erase the drive before continuing, which is another reason to use a dedicated drive.

GuiXT valid throughout the entire system

GuiXT
I need to customize my VA01 transaction using GuiXT. But I dont want it
to be user-specific on user's PC but throughout the entire system.
The document that i have seen says that put the GuiXT script file on application server
for the same.
But I have seen that for every user there is Script1 . . Script4
directory setting and this is where the VA01 will look before loading.
So even if I keep the script file on the server, if these Script directory
is not set to the required path, it will not reflect any changes that i have
made.
SO will i have to go on each user machine and give the path
or is there a way out.

Will it lock the entire table?

Here is the table structure……….
Table1(columnP, column1, column2) where columnP is the primary key.
Update Table1 set column1 =’22’ where column1 =’11’
In the above code,
1. Primary key is not used in the where criteria for the update.
2. Updating the same column which is used in the WHERE criteria.
Does the above code will lock the entire table to update the data?
Oracle 10g R2
Thank you,
Smith

This would (of course) lock only the rows with column1='11', regardless of your oracle version.
Regardless also, whether there is a primary key or not, by the way.

Is it possible to sandbox the entire system?

DISCLAIMER
This is partly just thinking out loud.
There may be some completely obvious solution for achieving this that I have not come across.
My ideas may be flawed.
I saw the other thread about sandboxing but that had a different focus and went in a different direction than this hopefully will.
First, by sandboxing I mean the following:
* let an application see the actual system, but only selectively, e.g. make /usr visible but /home inaccessible
* intercept all writes to the system
* let an application see all intercepted writes as though they have actually occurred
* intercept all network communication and allow the user to approve or deny it, e.g. enable a source download from one site but prevent the application from calling home to another
* the application cannot escape the sandbox
* the application should not be able to detect the sandbox
Is this possible?
First I thought about using FUSE to mask the entire filesystem but this would affect all applications and probably wouldn't work on a running sysem.
Then I thought about using virtualization. Maybe it would be possible to create a fake base image of the live host system and then add an overlay to that to create a sandboxed virtual clone of the host system. The network connection could probably by the host in that case.
I don't know if it would be at all possible though to create a fake base image of the live host system. I also don't know if it would need to be static or if the image could remain dynamic. In the latter case. it would probably be possible to create the image with FUSE. Using FUSE it might even be possible to forgo the overlay image as FUSE itself could intercept the writes. There are obvious complexities in that though, such as how to present changes to a file by the host to the guest if the guest has modified it previously. I also have no idea if the guest system could use a clone of the hosts file system.
Why I would want to do this:
* "Safely" test-run anything while protecting your system (hide your sensitive data, protect all of your files, control network access)**.
* Simplified package building: build the application as it's meant to be built in the sandbox, compare the sandbox to the host and then use the differences to build the package***.
* It would be cool.
** Before anyone interjects with the "only run trusted apps" mantra, this would also apply to trusted apps which might contain bugs. Let's face it, most people do not plough through source code of trusted apps before building/installing/running them.
*** This was prompted by my ongoing installation of SAGE which is built in the post-install function instead of the PKGBUILD itself due to the complexities of the build process. The general idea is to create a way in which all application that can be built can be packaged uniformly.

Are you sure that you can change the permissions of symlinks themselves? I think I've tried to make files read-only via symlinks on a local server but ended up using bindfs because it wasn't possible. Even if you can, symlinking everything that might be necessary for a given environment would not be ideal, plus I don't think symlinks can be used across different filesystems.
If a real-life human can figure out if it's he/she is in a chroot and break out of it, then he/she can write a script to do the same. I want a sandbox that could run malicious code with no effect on the system (if that's possible). Also, I think if the chroot idea were truly feasible, makepkg would have been using it for years already to simply install packages in the chroot as you normally would and then package them. There would also be several sandbox applications that could run applications safely. So far I have yet to find any.
I admit that I haven't looked into using a chroot in detail though and of course I may have missed some application which creates such a setup. Right now I think using per-application namespaces with fuse seems the most promising but I won't know until I've finished implementing a test application. If it turns out that it's a dead end I'll take harder look at chroot but it really doesn't seem to be able to do what I want.

[Solved by moving to Ubuntu] VirtualBox freezes the entire system

Hello everyone,
I have some major issues with VirtualBox, I have recently installed it for the first time, but it just randomly freezes my entire system. There shouldn't be any load on the processor for this to happen. I don't really know what the cause is. I tried both Windows XP and Windows 7 as guest systems with the same sad outcome. The host and guest freeze and I have to do a hard restart. There always is some noise that comes from the sound card and, in the case of VMWare, from the case speaker.
I tried disabling AMD-V - using a Phenom II x4 955 - but it didn't work. I also tried adding nohz=off to the grub line but it also didn't work. I have recompiled the kernel modules after the last kernel update - 2.6.32. I can't really say whether it's only related to the last kernel update or not as I only started using it after the update.
It seems that I have similar issues with VMWare player.
Here's my system information:
Arch64
Kernel 2.6.32
Phenom II x4 955
4 GB of ram
Virtualbox 3.1.2-2 from the AUR
This only issue occurs with VirtualBox and VMWare, I did test the memory and it's okay. I also have plenty of fans - 2x120mm + 2x80mm - and my system temperature (using k10temp) never goes above 48 c under load. So, it isn't an issue with overheating.
Does anyone have any similar issues? Do you have any suggestions for this?
Thanks!

Should I ask to have this thread moved to the 'Pacman & Package Upgrade Issues'? Will anyone be able to help there? I am seriously starting to consider downgrading the kernel once again and seeing whether it will work.
Does anyone have a machine with another 64-bit distro with this kernel version? If so, can the problem be replicated there? I don't know whether this is really related to Arch or the kernel. Should I file a bug report somewhere? and if so, where can I do it?
http://www.archlinux.org/news/477/
May it be related to the xen support that has been added to Arch64?

OSB 10.1.0.0 on AIX crashes the entire system during an rman backup to tape

Hi,
I have here two AIX 5.3-07 systems with Oracle 10.2.0.2 and 10.2.0.3 on it. After installing Oracle Secure Backup for AIX I tried an online backup with rman. During the rman backup the entire AIX system crashes and reboots.
I can reproduce this on both AIX machines. If I'm using only obtar to backup some files it works out of the box. On the 10.2.0.2 system I've initial installed a 10.2.0.1 database. With this installation I was able to make online backups without any crashes.
Just before I open a tar I want to ask if someone has any hints?

Make sure that you have selected the correct dictionary.
You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu. 
Also make sure that [[X]"Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu has a tick. 
You can also try to toggle the "Check Spelling" item off and on again.

Mouse Freezing and locking the computer

I have searched this forum regarding mouse freezing. Since updating to 10.4.7 I have the mouse freeze sometimes. The only way I have been able to correct is restart the computer from th power button.
After reading the below post I believe what he is saying when a freeze occurs just hit the optiob key 5 times.
1. This seems simple.but what is the computer doing to unfreeze by hitting the option Key?
2. What does he mean by this staement: BTW the 5 hits to the option key... turns the wonderful feature off..... Hope this helps .....
Anyways the next time I get a freeze I will try this. I am under the belief that when the freeze qccurs and you hit the option key 5 times it unlocks the mouse is this correct?
I have been using a kesington 2 button mouse since I had the computer connected via USB
Thank You

Re: mouse freezes in Tiger
Posted: Dec 1, 2005 8:38 AM in response to: Eric Alan
Try this:
Hit the option key five times. I am embarressed to say that I had to pay the 49.99 fee to apple to help the tech I was talking to figure this one out. Many months ago I was playing around in Universal Access in the system preference's.
Apparently I had set the mouse to do what it was doing... appearing to freeze, no response, turning into a text curser.... etc... (nice setting....ha...lol). After doing 3 clean installs of tiger, I noticed that one of the installs to an external firewire drive was not exhibiting this behavior. As I was explaining this to the tech, he asked if I had done a clean, archival or save user preference. The light went on, and I climbed under neath my desk so that my family would not see how the redness in my face from anger over the 49.99 fee changed to a different shade of red from embarresment. What I don't understand, is why it started happening all of a sudden. It seems some update/install triggered it........ BTW the 5 hits to the option key... turns the wonderful feature off..... Hope this helps .....
Quicksilver 867 Mac OS X (10.4.3) Report this post

The original Apple Pro mouse cable frays in the chord just as it exits the mouse, over time, and shorts out causing symtoms similar to yours. You can't see the fray by looking at it thru the exterior covering. This can happen to third party mice over time too.
Mine did it. I plugged it into a different port, so the chord exited the mouse in a different direction, and had very few freezes after that. Once I got over my frugalness (cheapness!) I bought a new one. Eventually it got to where I couldn't even work for more then a few minutes without a freeze.
So, try a known good mouse to see if that's the problem.
Don Archibald, a Level 5 here, said the USB ports on the keyboard (for you desktop users) are underpowered and can cause this problem also if the mouse is plugged in there. This can even fry the keyboard sometimes (happened to him). Try plugging your mouse into a port on your monitor or tower.
If you still have trouble post back!

Since downloading Mtn.Lion my epson printer doesn't work correctly & the entire system seems to be slower plus my iMac now disconnects from my wifi every time the mac sleeps. Can anyone help me with these issues?

I am having problems with my Imac (approx 1 yr old) every since I downloaded (from the App.Store) Mountain Lion. I am a working mom with 3 toddlers.....I have very little time to work on the computer which I primarily use for photograhpy needs. I am not computer savvy enough to figure out how to "fix" the new issues/problems and am frustrated. I am hoping someone can help me........
Issues just since downloading Mountain Lion:
1) My Epson R2400 printer is not printing properly. It wouldnt print at all from CS5 the first 2 days. Then just started printing. The prints aren't nearly as good as they used to be. I just installed Photoshop Elements 10 and have been able to print but the prints are just awful. I printed a test page and it was perfect. I've triple checked the settings in the print dialogue box to ensure the correct paper is chosen, etc. I've never let the printer manage the color before but it is the only option that gives a mediocre print at best.
     I've gone to Epson.com.   It says to update driver through Apple for Mtn. Lion. According to my computer I have no updates. Printer is connected via USB. Changed the ports, turned printer on & off. Emailed epson & they said to reset the print queue, which I did. Restarted the IMac Still no luck. (The error message I got when trying to print from CS5 is "filter failed." But, as stated before it just started printing today as I was typing this.
      I print out pics quite a bit and it seems the only time I have ever had problems is when I upgraded the OSX system. Why is that?? When I upgraded to 10.7 is when I first realized my print quality went down.
2) Now every time I "wake" up my computer it has become offline and has to go through the steps to reconnect to my wifi. Never did that before Mtn.Lion. I purchased the Airport Extreme Dec 2011. My computer was always connected before the update. Now I have to scroll down & pick my network & wait for it to connect before proceeding.   I double checked preferences and it is set up to check for updates automatically. What is that about??
3) It just seems that my system overall is slower. I love my mac but I am frustrated because I don't have the free time needed to do all this problem solving. I just need it to work properly when I have a few minutes to work on a picture. I imagine there are other issues, but these are the only 2 areas I've focused on since the upgrade.
I've read different views/feedback on Mtn Lion but haven't come across the printer issue or the wifi connection issue.
Can anyone direct me towards a solution? I really appreciate it!
T

I just figured out the print quality issue for my wife with her new iMac and new printer.
She replaced both at once and she couldn't understand why her Artisan 730 was lower quality then her Epson R280 when they had the same specs.
Turns out the newer printer had the option to connect via wifi which we used during setup.
The driver options are completely different depending on how you connect.
Once I connected via USB the correct options were available and the print quality was better.
Looking at the R2400 it dies not have wifi, but while researching the problem for my wife someone esle was having an issue updating to the latest printer driver.
If you go into the print utility from the Printer and Scanner system preference and under the general tab you should have driver 5.5.
One user had to delete the old printer driver before Software Update loaded the newer printer driver.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15947486#15947486
On my MacBook Pro (w Snow Leopard) I always had to reconnect my wifi at home when it woke up. I upgraded my router from an old Netgear to a newer N D-Link and stopped having to do that.
I would be surprised you would have that problem with an Airport Extreme, you might check to see if there is a firmware update for it.
