Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo lsof -i
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
The output of the command shows what processes are accessing the network. That may help you to solve the mystery.

I notice that Foxfire 4 sometimes shows 50 to 60% CPU usage for no apparent reason. If I reboot, its back to normal for a few hours. Then the same problem recurrs and I have to reboot again. I have just upgraded to 4.0.1. Don't know if it helps

At the same time, I often see ccsvchst.exe using 30 to 50% CPU to really slow everything down. I checked this with Norton; and they uninstall/reinstalled Norton - three times. I still see this program with excessive CPU usage sometimes. If I reboot, sometimes it helps. Other times, not.

Tablespace usage has suddenly jumped, for no apparent reason.

I had 1Gb tablespace that with only 150Mb used. Tables within grow slowly based on the data inputs of a dozen or so staff.
Last week usage jumped suddenly to 1Gb filling the tablespace. I extended the datafile to 2Gb, and a day later usage had gone up to 1.8Gb. I've now extended to 4Gb, although usage is still at 1.8Gb.
I didn't know of a way to see how much space individual tables were using, so I exported each individually to try and locate an oversized table. They all were as expected, total size about 150Mb.
Does anyone know what might be happening?
Thanks,
Neil

Looking at the tablespace map in OEM, there is a segment called SYS_LOB0000040601C00003$$ which is taking up most of the space.
What might have created this?

Satellite T130-10T: High CPU usage for non apparent reason

I have a brand new Satelitte T130.
From unboxing, I remarked that CPU usage is most of the time very high, even when doing nothing (no applications are running).
It sometimes hits 100% and stays ther for a few minutes.
I installed the newest BIOST I could find on the Toshiba site, but nothing changes.
Any ideas?
I don't like this just-out-the-box-unit already causes troubles!

Hi mate
There are a lot of applications which are running in the background.
Most of them are installed by Toshiba and such tools controls the notebook features like FN buttons, multi control buttons, eco button, etc
You can see the ruing applications in task manager. There you can also see what background process needs the CPU usage.

System level environment variable stuck on -- for no apparent reason

A few days ago in my development work I turned on AEDebugSends and AEDebugReceives environment variables in a terminal shell so I could log the apple events being sent by my app. I have done this many times before but now they somehow have gotten on system wide and I can't get them off.
This means that AppleEvents are being logged for everything - for every user and this is persisting between reboots. -- this is leading to massive console.log and makes my debugging very difficult as every 10 seconds or some apple event gets logged
here is the output of an env command:
TERMPROGRAM=AppleTerminal
TERM=xterm-color
SHELL=/bin/bash
AEDebug=1
TERMPROGRAMVERSION=133
USER=smorr
_CF_USER_TEXTENCODING=0x1F5:0:0
AEDebugOSL=1
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
PWD=/Users/smorr
SHLVL=1
HOME=/Users/smorr
AEDebugVerbose=1
AEDebugReceives=1
LOGNAME=smorr
AEDebugSends=1
SECURITYSESSIONID=4144f0
_=/usr/bin/env
I have looked at ~/.profile and /etc/profile and /etc/bash_rc and there is nothing that turns on these variables.
I'd appreciate any help or direction from anyone.

Hi smorr,
   Are you saying that you actually see those environment variables set in your ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist file or that you discovered that technote and think that you'll find those variables set there? We need to know because no one has ever reported a process programmatically changing that file. It may be there for developers to use and it would certainly be perfect for that. It would be important to be certain about the first report.
   For what it's worth there's a file that Apple's Terminal is notorious for setting incorrectly and that its preference file, ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Terminal.plist. If you haven't seen those variables in your ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist file then perusal of the preferences file would be prudent.

Broadband usage shot up

Hi I read the other query re broadband usage suddenly exceeding limit. before xmas i rarely went over 7gb of my 10gb limit. december i went to 12 gb but daughters got net book and ipod so expected that, however on 4th January i recieved email to say i had gone over 7gb in 4 days. we didn't touch computers for 2 days but still it continued to spiral by at least 2 gb per day.
Any help advice gratefully recieved.
I have changed to unlimited but am concerned my usage appears today appears to be telling me i have used over 9 gb in one day?????

Hi. Welcome to the forums.
Are you using the online usage monitor or something else to keep an eye on the usage ?
When you say you received the email on 4th January, did it actually give the dates for the usage ? It would be strange for it to have said for 4 days, seeing as the usage is reset at the beginning of each month.
Things to check, are that you are up to date with all the operating systems, as well as all the anti-virus and security packages.

Report at Material level(for all the plants)?

Hi Experts,
We have simple query which gives following output.
&Plant&Material No&Creation Date&Issue date&QTY issued&
P1      M1         01/10/2004    01/01/2005        10
P2      M1         01/12/2004    15/12/2004        20
P3      M1         01/01/2005    15/01/2005        30
Actually I want to report at material level ( for all plants in one shot ) , additionaly I want to show the minimum creation date for that material and minimum issue date and sum of all 3 qty issued.
The output should look like
&Material No&Creation Date&Issue date&QTY issued
M1           01/10/2004    15/12/2004       60
Can any body suggest how do i get the date fields with the above condition
Thanks in advance.
Regs,
Mahantesh

Hi Mahantesh ,
Try this:
Take two more KFs in the cube.
1) Creation Date as KF
Type: Date
Exception aggregation : First value
Aggregation reference : 0material.
2) Issue Date as KF
Type: Date
Exception aggregation : Last value
Aggregation reference : 0material.
In the query take 0material in rows and above 2 KF in the columns (May be , here , you need restriction also. 'Creation Date as Characterstic' > 01.01.1000 ,Issue Date as characterstic' < 31.12.9999 )

TS1485 change the permission level for iTunes and iTunesHelper to allow full access. how do i do this

How do i change the permission level for Itunes

I have actually been using Amazon cloud for a while now and never had this problem. Actually, I think I did get locked out once and was able to get back in by contacting support and answering some questions. This option isn't available with Apple.. They lock you out for 90 days regardless of whether you can verify your ID. I know this because I contacted them recently and they verified my identity exhaustively and then said 'sorry-there's nothing we can do and you are not getting a refund for time lost.' I think I understand why the policy is there, but I think it's ridiculous that they make no exceptions even when the mistake is on their side, which I'm pretty sure it is in my case.

The best RAID level for video editing that has some form of redundancy?

I've been asked to help find the best solution for importing and editing large amounts of HDV (25 Mbit/s) video. However, those whom I am helping also want a level of redundancy that will allow a single drive to fail and their data to be preserved. So what I'm trying to figure out is the best RAID level (or levels) for their need. I'm fairly certain that either 0+1 or 10 is what I'm looking for, however the I/O performance differences between 0+1 and 10 aren't quite clear to me. If someone could explain that to me I would appreciate it. Additionally, if someone knows a better level than either 0+1 or 10 for the needs I described, please don't hesitate to let me know.

The difference between RAID 10 and RAID 0+1 is how the array is created.
RAID 0+1 creates a RAID from multiple RAID 0 arrays that are mirrored.
You can tolerate any number of drive failures in any one side of the mirror (that side of the mirror goes offline as soon as any one disk fails, so it doesn't matter how many other disks fail in the same array), but one drive failure on both parts of the mirror will trash your data.
RAID 10 creates a stripe of multiple RAID 1 mirrors.
In this setup you create RAID 1 mirror sets and stripe them together.
In this setup you can tolerate one disk failure in each element of the stripe.
For example if you have 6 drives you might create three mirrors of two drives each, and each mirror is then striped.
You can lose one drive in each mirror, but if you lose two drives in any mirror set, you're out of luck.
In both cases, though, you're not going to get the best usage out of the array since mirroring has a 50% overhead - meaning you're only going to get 50% of your total disk capacity as usable space.
With the XServe RAID, the RAID 5 performance is very good - good enough for your 25MB/sec throughput so I'd go with RAID 5 arrays, not RAID 0 or 1 on the XServe RAID itself.
Then, depending on your space requirements, you can either stripe or mirror them together for a RAID 50 or 51 array. In this way you gain the data redundancy of RAID 5 with better disk utilization than 10 or 0+1.
RAID 50 will give you the best performance (and the most usable space), RAID 51 will give you the best redundancy.
At the end of the day it's up to you to decide which format to use based on performance and usable space requirements.

Burner - device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media.

The burn to the MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-845E drive failed. The device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media.
Huh?? Have no idea what this means, after a forum search am more confused... I don't think I've installed any software that has effected it (suggested in other discussions) The only other one that might have been useful was archived and I couldn't work out how to read all the threads so if anyone can help with this error message that would be awesome.

I just wanted to share my experience with this issue:
Early 2008 Mac Pro with two 16x SuperDrives (Sony NEC Optiarc 7170A). BOTH SuperDrives stopped working properly at the same time. After a few months of burning only CDs, I suddenly found myself unable to burn DVDs.
I could read and write CDs, but I could only read, not write, DVDs. Attempts to burn DVDs gave the dreaded "could not calibrate laser for this media" message in Finder, Disk Utility, and Burn. (console Burn error: 0x8002006D The device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media.)
The fact that both SuperDrives went bad at the same time made me think that it had to be either the media or a software/firmware glitch.
I tried Memorex, TDK, and Verbatim media; neither would write. I tried canned air, a DVD-cleaning-disc kit, resetting SMC and PRAM (which of course involved rebooting), the International pref pane trick, even tried flashing the drive firmware with new and old firmware revisions. My last resort was to install Snow Leopard on a blank partition; I still got the same error message when trying to burn a DVD from the brand new, fresh OS install.
It seemed ridiculous to have a $3,000 machine unable to burn DVDs, so I ended up purchasing two new SuperDrives from MacSales/OWC. (Apple Original Pioneer DVR-112D-BK Internal [Black Bezel] 'SuperDrive' up to 16X DVD+/-R, up to 8X DVD+/-RW, Up to 8X Dual Layer +/-R DL, up to 32X CDR/RW Burner.) These were available to ship the same day for $34/ea.
I just received them; it took only 15 minutes to swap out the old drives with the new ones. They work perfectly, on all my media.
I suppose $70 for two new drives is more than worth the frustration of trying to resolve this problem by other means. I hope my experience can help others with this same issue.

Setting Reservation Levels for a VM

The vcloud usage meter says this:
Net points = (vGB hours X points per 1 GB reserved RAM)/hours per month
During one 30-day calendar month, a Service Provider uses the vCloud Service Provider Bundle – Premier Edition to configure his or her virtual machine with 16 vGB for 15 days and 48 vGB for the remaining 15 days. The reservation level for the virtual machine is set at 75 percent for the entire month.
15 days x 24 hours x 16 vGB x 0.75 = 4,320 vGB hours
15 days x 24 hours x 24 vGB (48 vGB x 0.75 but capped at 24GB) = 8,640 vGB hours
Total vGB hours = 12,960 vGB hours
Total points = 12,960 vGB hours ÷ 720 hours/month x 7 points (for Premier) = 126 points
Where do I "set the reservation level" for a VM? Is this talking about setting individual VM reservations in vCenter Server, or about doing something in the vCloud Usage meter itself?

Hi. The reservation level is set for each VM, using a vSphere Client or API.

Building summarization levels for reporting

Hi All,
Our system is very slow to execute COPA reports. I am willing to create summarization levels.
1. I let the system create a proposal
2. I created hiearchy levels
3. I uploaded the levels with data
4. I checked whether reports are reading hierarchy level
I am a little bit confused how this summarization level is intedted to work. I tested the summarization. It works by 1-2 reports, but not for the rest.
So my question is, when a summarization level is applicable for a report?
For examle, if I summarize for customer... and in the report I have characteristics customer... does the system takes this summarization level or not? If in general I need customer in all of our reports as characteristics, I won´t be able to use summarization level for customer?

I am looking somehow for similar answer.
When the system does proposal for sum. levels why the created levels are not used.
For your information. If you have just created new reports and hope to get them speed up it might not work properly.
When you use the proposal of levels the system analysis the ones last used. If some reports are used not often they might not be considered.
So you need to watch and fine tune it.
I noticed that the index which is important to access the level, does not really match our criteria. The sum. level might have the right data but not very good index.
Further you could check the usage of fixed characteristics. For example you copy a simple sum. level with certain data and you add fixed characteristics. Example, company code 01.
But the magical question when it is utilized is also open. Don't forget to activate the usage of sum. levels in the report attributes itself.

Logical level for logical fact table sources

it is clear that for fact aggregates, we should use the Content tab of the Logical Table Source dialog to assign the correct logical level to each dimension.
question is : is it mandatory to assign even for non-aggregates fact tables the logical level for each dimension (which normally should be set to the most detailed level of each dimension) ? is it any known issue if "logical levels"in content tab are not set ?
the reason I'm asking this is a strange bug I have (I'm not going to discuss it here) and then only workaround seems to be NOT setting the logical levels (on content tab) for logical fact table sources.
thank you !

If levels are not set: By default levels are considered as lowest level
It should not matter if you set or not
Generally we set for facts explicitly when we are using Aggregate tables.
Your current issue might be a case by case; I would suggest to check implicit fact, any table mapped to the source to force a join etc
Mark if helps
Let me know how it helps
