My iMac has been creating huge core or cores, discovered by Disk Drill. Eating up 2/3 of my HDD all made in 2 days!!

These cores are documents about 750MB each. I have 70-80 made between Nov. 10-11. I was clued in by message that HDD nearly full. Ran Disk Drill and it found folder "cores" with all these. Is it safe to delete?
I don't see a folder "cores" except when using disk drill. Very confusing. I can move them to trash via disk drill but when something says "core" I wonder if it's majorly important.
I do believe I upgraded to Yosemite the day it started but not absolutely sure. Soon around the date for certain. Please help, and thank you!

These sound like 'core dumps'. They are files containing a 'dump' of memory and settings when the computer detects an abnormal termination of a process. You can type the following in Terminal.app to get more details of this.
man core
If you have a number of these it does imply your having repeated problems with crashes on your system. I would check to see if you have any third-party software that needs updating, and also run Disk Utility and verify your hard disk.
Interestingly the man page says the creation of core dump files is disabled by default and this is what I have normally seen i.e. no such files. Try also doing the following two commands and seeing if the files exist.
ls -l /etc/launchd.conf
ls -l ~/.launchd.conf
The fact you are getting core dump files implies one of these exists to have turned it on.

IMac has been updated and I don't have install disk for 10.6 or later. Can I still proceed with using Boot Camp 3.0 to install Windows?

I have an iMac that has been updated to Mac OS X 10.6.8. When I purchased the computer, it came with Mac OS X 10.5.6. Will I be able to use Boot Camp 3.0.4 to install Windows without a physical disk of Mac OS X 10.6 or later? Could I get around that if I've backed everything up to Time Capsule? How do I take care of any drivers I may need?
Thanks!

Hi,
you need the OSX Snow Leopard Install DVD since it is the only valid source of the BootCamp Drivers.
The 3.0 version of the BootCamp Drivers is only avaiable on the disc.
Later updates (3.1 and 3.2) can then be downloaded from Apples Support website but require that the 3.0 drivers are already installed.
Easiest solution IMHO is to buy a retail OSX Snow Leopard disc for USD 29.
Btw. the seller of your Mac should have included the install disc for the OSX that is on the harddisk.

Stefan

I am using a WD My Passport Studio external hard drive as a Time Machine. I get the error that a back up folder could not be created when my iMac has been asleep, any advice.

I am using a WD My Passport Studio external hard drive as a Time Machine. I get the error that a back up folder could not be created when my iMac has been asleep, any advice. The hard drive is set set not to go to sleep.

Were you not plugged in via USB to begin with?
I would recommend performing some resets just to be on the safe side. Unplug the external HD, and try these steps:

PLEASE HELP! How can I tell if my Imac has been hacked?

PLEASE HELP! How can I tell if my Imac has been hacked? I see a few people have asked this question but the responses tended to be advice on what to do once you've been hacked, not what can done to find out if you have been hacked. I have a late 2012 model imac. My sharing was off and remote logging was off. I use an external router that send wireless to about 4 consoles in the flat. I don't think I have any firewalls up (now looking like a mistake). I think I'm possibly being hacked due to abnormal behaviour and most recently my camera was turned off all day (no LED) then I went to record something on Photo Booth, the application popped up displaying an image of me getting dressed (nightmare!) which happened hours earlier when the camera was off. This image quickly then disappeared and the camera began working normally. Very strange and alarming. Please help me. Any advice would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the behest of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
Paste into the window of another application.
Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in 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 icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start Time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.

Delivery Document has been created - showing the status of Being Processed.

Hi All.
I am facing the following typical problem.
1. Sales order has been created - showing the status of COMPLETED.
2. Delivery Document has been created - showing the status of Being Processed.
3. Goods Issue document created successfully- showing status as COMPLETE
4. Billing Document has created successfully - showing the status as COMPLETED.
5. Customer Account got updated properly.
Query: Despite of completion of SO, DELIVERY, GOODS ISSUED, AND BILLING DOCUMENT u2013 and accounting document is cleared why the outbound Delivery document status is showing as BEING PROCESSED.
If I go T-code Vlo3n see document flow
Delivery 5080789885 being processed.
Go to VF03 document flow also it is showing
Delivery 5080789885 being processed.
Aditya

Hi ALL,
Further to my query I would like to clarify the following:
It is happening since 2004 all Bom components status (Delivery being processed) all the BOM main items header status is showing completed.
It not impacting the business, but suddenly user raise query SO, DELIVERY, GOODS ISSUED, AND BILLING DOCUMENT completed why still delivery showing as being processed.
1. I have checked at SO level -- all the line items were delivered. ie: delivery, goods issue, billing completed.
2. I checked the Header Level data completed and Item Level data being processed.
3. If I look into the each item level also it is showing as being processed.
4. Even the SALES ORDER HEADER LEVEL showing the status of Completed.
5. Removed credit check in delivery.
The only issue is OUTBOUND DELIVERY DOCUMENT: Status alone it is showing as ' Being Processed' -- surprisingly!

Error -1074384569; NI-XNET: (Hex 0xBFF63147) The database information on the real-time system has been created with an older NI-XNET version. This version is no longer supported. To correct this error, re-deploy your database to the real-time system.

Hello
I have a VeriStand-Project (VSP) created with my Laptop-Host (LTH) which works with my PXI, while
deploying it from my LTH. Then I have installed the whole NI enviroment for PXI and VeriStand use on a
industrial PC (iPC). I have tried to deploy my VSP from the iPC to the PXI but the following error
message arose on my iPC:
The VeriStand Gateway encountered an error while deploying the System Definition file.
Details: Error -1074384569 occurred at Project Window.lvlibroject Window.vi >> Project

Definition file... • Connection with target Controller has been lost.
The software versions of the NI products (MAX/My System/Software) between my LTH and the iPC are
almost the same. The only differences are:
1. LabView Run-Time 2009 SP1 (64-bit); is installed on LTH but missing on iPC. The iPC has a 32-bit system.
2. LabView Run-Time 2012 f3; is installed on LTH but missing on iPC.
3. NI-DAQmx ADE Support 9.3.5; something strage on the LTH, because normally I am using NI-DAQmx 9.5.5 and all other DAQmx products on my LTH are 9.5.5. That means NI-DAQmx Device Driver 9.5.5 and NI-DAQmx Configuration 9.5.5.. On the iPC side all three products are 9.5.5.. That means NI-DAQmx ADE Support 9.5.5, NI-DAQmx Device Driver 9.5.5 and NI-DAQmx Configuration 9.5.5..
4. Traditional NI-DAQ 7.4.4; The iPC has this SW installed. On the LTH this SW is missing.
In order to fix this problem I have formatted my PXI and I have installed the following SW from the iPC:
1. LabVIEW Real-Time 11.0.1
2. NI-488.2 RT 3.0.0
3. NI_CAN 2.7.3
Unfortunately the above stated problem still arose.
What can I do to fix this problem?
I found a hint on http://www.labviewforum.de/Thread-XNET-CAN-die-ersten-Gehversuche.
There it is written to deploy the dbc file againt.
If this is a good hint, so how do I deploy a dbc file?
I would feel very pleased if somebody could help me! :-)
Best regards
Lukas Nowak

Hi Lukas,
I think the problem is caused by differenet drivers for the CAN communication.
NI provides two driver for CAN: NI-CAN and NI-XNET.
NI-CAN is the outdated driver which is not longer used by new hardware. NI replaced the NI-CAN driver with NI-XNET some years ago, which supports CAN, LIN and the FLEXRAY communication protocol.
You wrote:

NI CAN is the outdated driver. I think that you should try to install NI-XNET instead of NI-CAN on your PXI-System, to get rid of the error message.

My iMac suddenly no longer connects to wifi network when in KIOSK (username) mode, and only connects when as ADMINISTRATOR mode. Its strange because the iMac has been working fine in KIOSK mode for over a year until 2 days ago.

My iMac suddenly no longer connects to wifi network when in KIOSK (username) mode, and only connects when as ADMINISTRATOR mode. Its strange because the iMac has been working fine in KIOSK mode for over a year until 2 days ago.

One of the memory cards was indeed faulty, and the other completely fine
Thanks very much for all your help!
Although there is one little thing that I've noticed. The iMac works properly, but I tried to software update to see if that may help my Minecraft sound issue (as I still don't think only having 2GB instead of 4GB would cause such a problem) but the software update application won't work. Running the "Software Update" from the apple menu on the toolbar gains no response, nothing happens. If I run the software update from system preferences, the application icon appears for a second, then disappears (as in the blank app. icon, the blank canvas with the pencil, pen and ruler in the bottom right corner). It does this every time I try to run it. It did work when the computer was crashing, but this started when on one of the occasions I ran the app. while it was crashing. Since this occured during the crashes, and still occurs now, I'm wondering did something simlar happen minecraft, as it's sound disappeared during the crashes and is still gone now.
However, the computer is now working again without crashes, which is the main thing, thanks for helping me fix the issue
Edit: I would mark the topic as solved, but I'm unsure if this would lock the topic or something simlar, so I'd rather leave it open for any ideas regarding the software update and Minecraft issues I'm having

Why i'm getting exception InvalidOperationException: Invoke or BeginInvoke cannot be called on a control until the window handle has been created ?

I have a backgroundworker1 dowork event and inside:
private void backgroundWorker1_DoWork(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)
BackgroundWorker bgw = (BackgroundWorker)sender;
if (bgw.CancellationPending == true)
return;
else
this.BeginInvoke(new MethodInvoker(delegate
timer1.Stop();
Button1Code();
timer1.Start();
trackBar2.Enabled = false;
trackBar1.Enabled = false;
while (true)
bitmaps = ImagesComparison.get_images_with_clouds(b1);
for (int i = 0; i < bitmaps.Length; i++)
ConvertTo1or8Bit.BitmapToGIF(bitmaps[i], @"c:\convertedgifs\" + i.ToString("D6") + ".gif");
break;
The exception is on the BeginInvoke part.
In the last few days i was running the program many times and i didn't have this exception even once.
And now every times i'm running it i'm getting the exception.
System.InvalidOperationException was unhandled by user code

Where are you starting the background worker from? Possibly the constructor of the form?

Payment proposal has been created - error

Hi Gurus,
I have an issue in F110. I currently have 2 payment methods set up i.e. method E - Electronic and method T _ Telegraphic. Both were working until yesterday. Today, only method T works , and the only obvious difference is that no variant is selected for this method in print-out/medium.
The proposal merely stops at "Payment proposal has been created""
Any ideas?
Regards

Have you checked that both payment method area assigned in the variant in "Printout" tab.
Also do a "Printout" again and check the logs.
Regards,
Gaurav

How to find out how many hours an iMac has been running!

Is there a way to find out how many hours an iMac has been running? I am thinking of buying a second hand iMac 20' or 21.5' as for space reasons, the actual 27' versions are too big. And of course, all adverts state "hardly never used"!!

Hi, I think in later OSes I've seen total Machine hours in System Report or such, but on 10.4.11 right know.
Hard Drive ON hours might be helpfull using Smart Utility...
http://www.volitans-software.com/smart_utility.php

My iMac has been creating huge core or cores, discovered by Disk Drill. Eating up 2/3 of my HDD all made in 2 days!!
