Need A Quick Check On This...

I am no expert, and the terminal basically answered my own question for me, but I thought I would throw this out for "further reassurance".
Here's a small transcript of what I did:
+X's-Mac-Pro:receipts X$ *man -h*+ *(just getting assistance with man)*
+man, version 1.6c+
+usage: man [-adfhktwW] [section] [-M path] [-P pager] [-S list]+
+[-m system] [-p string] name ...+
+a : find all matching entries+
+c : do not use cat file+
+d : print gobs of debugging information+
+D : as for -d, but also display the pages+
+f : same as whatis(1)+
+h : print this help message+
+k : same as apropos(1)+
_*+K : search for a string in all pages+*_ *///PLEASE NOTE///*
+t : use troff to format pages for printing+
+w : print location of man page(s) that would be displayed+
+(if no name given: print directories that would be searched)+
+W : as for -w, but display filenames only+
+C file : use `file' as configuration file+
+M path : set search path for manual pages to `path'+
+P pager : use program `pager' to display pages+
+S list : colon separated section list+
+m system : search for alternate system's man pages+
+p string : string tells which preprocessors to run+
+e - [n]eqn(1) p - pic(1) t - tbl(1)+
+g - grap(1) r - refer(1) v - vgrind(1)+
+X's-Mac-Pro:receipts X$ *man -K xatt+ (actually looking for xattr)*
*+not executing command:+* _*<---- CONCERN*_
/unsafe/ _*<---- HERE*_
+/usr/share/man/man3/Common Crypto.3cc? [ynq] q+
+X's-Mac-Pro:receipts X$ *man -K attrib+ (again, actually looking for xattr)*
+/usr/share/man/man1/allmemory.1? [ynq] q+
First, did I do any harm to my underlying system? I assume not as it returned "not executing command"
Second, what was the error in my syntax using the -K flag in *man -K xatt* ???
As you will note the second attempt to search the man pages (if indeed I was using the right syntax) did not result in the warning that I am concerned about.
Any insight would be HIGHLY appreciated. Thanks!

Bob,
Thanks for taking the time to investigate this small issue for me (and for the formatting tips). It is MUCH appreciated.

    well forget what i said then. I see what you are trying to do and it can be done this way but I don't really like it. My opinion however is not important yet!
    I suggest you start by calling the init() method in the constructor. I don't see where you called this method and since you didn't then none of the text fields are created.
    DetailsPopup(Frame f)
       super(f);
       Button b3;  //submit
       b3 = new Button ("Submit"); //add the button "Submit"

    Though I have doubts for success, you might try a SMC reset.  It can do no harm.  Otherwise, barring suggestions from others, the Apple Store or qualified repair facility is the last option.

  • Using Outlook 2007 I want to receive emails on my iPhone 4 only when Outlook is NOT open on my computer, as when away from home or want to quickly check email when computer is not turned on. Either ALL emails come to my iPhone or none at all.

    Using Outlook 2007 I want to receive emails on my iPhone 4 only when Outlook is NOT open on my computer, as when away from home or want to quickly check email when computer is not turned on. Either ALL emails come to my iPhone or none at all. Is the setting I need to change in Outlook or on the iPhone or is it somewhere else?  I used to have this setting but transferring Outlook to a new laptop somehow turned it off.

    No. You really can't do that. Not easily at any rate. You would have to set them both up to use POP3, but even then there is no way to guarantee that the phone won't poll the server prior to your computer doing so, pulling down the message from the server.

  • Troublesho​oting: Memory Quick Check : Failed

    Before I explain the current problem, I will explain what I have done so far:
    I have replaced the hard drive. Hard drive is accessable and working.
    Placed the installation disk on a USB (Windows 7 Disk I had was not compatible)
    After having the setup fail 2% in on expanding windows files, I searched around and found that removing a memory module could possibly solve the problem.
    I removed one of the memory modules. The setup reached 30% on expanding windows files before giving me an error.
    Error Code: 0x8007007B
    I did the memory quick check again and it failed. 
    Failure ID : U4SB8F-6G977U-MFPx0K-001203
    Product ID : D1C20uA#ABA
    Is the system board bad? Can a system board be replaced?
    Or is the actual Ram bad?

    Hey @Campbell101 ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand your experiencing issues installing Windows on your notebook that appear to be RAM related.
    The U4SB8F-6G977U-MFPx0K-001203 error stems from the motherboard and could be one of 4 things:
    1. Backplane Board.
    2. System Board.
    3. Processor.
    4. Processor Board.
    If removing one of the RAM cards helped try using the other RAM card. It is possible that the system board failure is triggered from the RAM or the DIMM slot. You'll want to try each combination of RAM possible to rule out each DIMM slot or RAM card. Example: You have DIMM-A and DIMM-B, with RAM-1 and RAM-2.
    DIMM-A with RAM-1 and DIMM-B with RAM-2.
    DIMM-B with RAM-1 and DIMM-A with RAM-2.
    DIMM-A with RAM-1 and DIMM-B empty.
    DIMM-A empty and DIMM-B with RAM-1.
    DIMM-B with RAM-2 and DIMM-A empty.
    DIMM-B empty and DIMM-A with RAM-2.
    By trying each of these combinations you will be able to tell if you have a bad card or RAM depending on if the error follows a DIMM slot or a particular RAM stick.
    If no combination works it's likely the motherboard. Replacing the motherboard can be expensive, risky, and troublesome. Replacing the motherboard on what would be considered a consumer level notebook like your requires HP proprietary software to tattoo the service ID, product and serial number on the board. For this you need to send the notebook for service. You can contact HP Technical Support at 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here.

  • How to do a quick check on a Macbook for functionality of Id and Dw?

    Hi, I'm wondering how to do a quick check on a Macbook Pro to check if its affected by any the known bugs in Id and Dw CS6?
    I read that there were problems with running them with some of the 2012 MBPs so I'm currently looking at a second hand option (late2011, 2.2Ghz, 15") running Mountain Lion. From what i gather you just need to bring up a warning box in InDesign to check if its affected by this summer's API removal problem, and with Dreamweaver you just need to see if it opens to be sure you don't get a 'not compatible with this type of mac' message. Is this correct? And are there any other quick checks  for functionality you'd recommend?
    Id and Dw are the main programmes I'll be working on so I'd like to be sure they work on it before making a purchase.
    Thanks, Dave.

    I've been using InDesign CS6 on a MacBook Pro and on an iMac with Mountain Lion. I have no problems to report.
    I don't know about Dreamweaver CS6.

  • Ipad2 doesn't work without wifi although I pay Verizon for data. Is there a quick fix for this?

    My ipad2 no longer works without wifi. I pay Verizon for data but it won't work away from a hotspot.  Verizon says this is an apple fix. A girlfriend told me that there may be a quick fix for this that I can do myself without visiting the store?  Anything would be helpful. Thanks to all in advance.

    I need advise and help with this problem .
    First , I have been with Mac for many years ( 14 to be exact ) I do have some knowledge and understanding of Apple product .
    At the present time I'm having lots of problems with the router so I was looking in to some info , and come across one web site regarding : port forwarding , IP addresses .
    In my frustration , amongst lots of open web pages tutorials and other useless information , I come across innocent looking link and software to installed called Genieo , which suppose to help with any router .
    Software ask for permission to install , and about 30 % in , my instinct was telling me , there is something not right . I stop installation . Delete everything , look for any
    trace in Spotlight , Library . Nothing could be find .
    Now , every time I open Safari , Firefox or Chrome , it will open in my home page , but when I start looking for something in steed of Google page , there is
    ''search.genieo.com'' page acting like a Google . I try again to get raid of this but I can not find solution .
    With more research , again using genieo.com search eng. there is lots of articles and warnings . From that I learn do not use uninstall software , because doing this will install more things where it come from.
    I do have AppleCare support but its to late to phone them , so maybe there some people with knowledge , how to get this of my computer
    Any help is welcome , English is my learned language , you may notice this , so I'm not that quick with the respond

    Genieo definitely doesn't help with your router. It's just adware, and has no benefit to you at all. They scammed you so that they could display their ads on your computer.
    To remove it, see:

    Do not use the Genieo uninstaller!

    Hello,
    I need to add check whether 21 fields of a internal table are empty or not.How can we write a code for the same wand what would be the correct syntax for it.
    I tried entering all the fields in the IF loop with AND condition but its giving syntax error.Perhaps this is because the lenght of the IF condition would be more than the allowed one.

  • Need some quick help - fairly urgent!

    I've just taken over a new job and have been the task of finishing the new brochure for Christmas, there's not a lot to do but a lot of the measurements need changing
    This is the layout I'm dealing with..
    All the boxes have been made in Illustrator
    The text has been done in In'Design and it seems every piece of text is it's own box if that makes sense
    My question is, if I select the whole specification box - copy, paste it into Adobe Illustrator and change the text there, then paste the edited box back into In-Design, will I lose quality when it gets printed?
    I'm worried if I do it this way it may come out blurred? Or am I just worrying about nothing?

    I couldn't find an Illy file in the end and have ended up creating tables in ID to replicate what was already there!
    Didn't take very long and I guess if I didn't do it now, I'd come across the same situation next time!

    There certainly are viable "quick fix" solutions proposed here, and if the dealine is looming and this file never needs to be touched again I might be tempted, but they are only postponing the pain for a file that needs periodic updates, and I wouldn't waste effort on them, myself, when that time can be put toward a proper rebuild now if that's the ultimate goal.
