New FM Console messages

Hello Framers:
Using TCS (FM 8.0p277 and RH 7.03.001) on Vista Home Premium
I was exploring the fminit file a couple of weeks ago. I didn't think I changed anything, but now when I open the structure view of a FM file, the console displays the message: MIF: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe FrameMaker 8\fminit\fmstruct\strwin"(1):Skipped (message repeats 3 times). My files do not seem to be affected, but I feel that I have inadvertently changed something I shouldn't have.
Also have been experimenting with importing a FM file to RH (by reference) to create html. The console displays: C:\AppData\Local\Temp\MIFTMP1\Mif00004.mif"(1913): Value of Separation out of range (8). Does anyone know what "Value of Separation out of range" refers to? The screenshots (tifs imported into FM file by reference) appear as blank spaces in RH. Not sure if the message is related to that, so perhaps this is a RH forum question?
I tried doing a search of this forum for clues to these messages and couldn't find anything. Any help or direction would be appreciated.

I'm evaluating Tech Comm Suite 2 on Windows XP SP2 and getting a similar MIF message when updating my RoboHelp project from the FrameMaker book it's linked to:
'MIF: "C:\Documents and Settings\...\LocalSettings\Temp\MIFTMP\Mif00002.mif" [755]: Value of Separation out of range [8].'
Three of these messages appear, with the only differnce between them being the value between the square brackets (shown as [755] above).
My graphcs have transferred over without a problem. However the Frame TOC is not transferred properly. Only the contents from 2 of the 4 Frame documents included in the book are converted in RoboHelp. Not sure if this is related to the MIF messages I'm getting?

  • Installing new HD. Are these console messages indicative of problems?

    I am installing a new 1TB drive in my early 2011 17" Macbook Pro. Ever since installing Mavericks last year, I have had trouble with slowness, keychain, mail, slow populating, etc., but now it is working more normally. I have turned off keychain to save passwords because it created lots of problems at the beginning.
    My mail seems to be slow in starting (I have a lot of saved mail and the Mail folder is 32GB).
    I have lots of the following console message, 60 at a time, a couple of pages, and at times less.
    5/30/14 10:18:34.075 AM secd[222]:  s3dl_query_row decode genp,rowid=15 failed (-26275): The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -26275 - ks_crypt: e00002bc failed to unwrap item (class 6, bag: -3) Item can't be decrypted on this device, ever, so drop the item.)
    Sometimes I get a lot of windowserver messages:
    5/29/14 11:35:31.810 PM talagent[175]: CGSBindSurface: Invalid window 0x35

    5/29/14 11:35:31.812 PM WindowServer[90]: CGXReleaseWindowList: Invalid window 49 (index 1/11)
    I opened Contacts and the console had the following messages:
    5/31/14 12:02:04.509 AM com.apple.SecurityServer[14]: Session 100031 created
    5/31/14 12:02:04.512 AM com.apple.security.XPCKeychainSandboxCheck[1039]: Can't get dir or base (likely out of memory) for

    5/31/14 12:02:04.728 AM secd[222]:  s3dl_query_row decode genp,rowid=15 failed (-26275): The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -26275 - ks_crypt: e00002bc failed to unwrap item (class 6, bag: -3) Item can't be decrypted on this device, ever, so drop the item.)
    Are these messages indicative of a problem? I do not want to migrate my existing data to my new hard drive if I do not have to. If these are normal messages, I will not try to re- install all programs. The  secd[222] messages started with my key chain problems. Do I need to remedy some issues before I transfer my data to my new hard drive?
    Thanks

    I had unchecked iCloud keychain weeks ago because it seemed to generate all kinds of error messages. I checked it again and approved with my iPhone. This unleashed a slew of console messages that I had eliminated by keeping the iCloud Keychain unchecked. I have listed a sampling below:

    When I first installed Mavericks I did not understand the Internet Account setup and struggled with the iCloud setup. I tinkered/removed the default Internet Account settings email settings. I suspect that may have something to do with these error messages. I believe I should start over fresh with my new install on my new hard drive and start the iCloud settings from scratch.

  • Strange New Console Messages _spotlight: audit warning: expired /var/audit/ {string of numbers}

    For several days I have been having difficulties having the MacBook Pro (Lion) complete shutdowns. Eventually I have to hard reset it.
    On reboot almost always Spotlight starts building its index again. (I even gave it 2 full days once in case the indexing not completing was the issue but the laptop had just stayed hung). Disk Utility and even the otherwise pathetic Tech Tools Pro 6 report no errors in directories or structures,
    Today, I just noticed a strange new series of messages, while I was not using the computer all day and no apps were running....
    They are shown below (I narrowed the search to Spotlight in Console)

    To the best of my knowledge, the CaptiveNetworkSupport daemon has to do with WiFi and networking.
    Some things to try:
    Visit ~/Library/Caches <–Trash everything in this folder (it will rebuild after reboot)
    Reboot your Mac. | Empty the Trash. | Reboot your Mac.
    You cannot empty the trash until after you reboot because the files are still in use. When you reboot the second time, after you have emptied the trash, it is to ensure that none of the files are in use, and the new caches are rebuilt successfully.  You may notice it's a little slow at first, that is because it is rebuilding the caches.
    Rebuild the Spotlight Index.
    This is simple. Open up Spotlight in System Prefs, drag your Mac HD into the Privacy section, then remove it. It rebuilds the spotlight database.
    Repair Disk Permissions for good measure as well.
    See if that helps anything.

  • Brand new iMac and a ton of Console Messages already

    Hello all, I am new to OSX and Mac as I just purchased a 27" iMac 3.06 ghz model. I think I am having some issues with my Mac. I use a screen calibrator called Spyder3Pro and for some reason it generates a console message every couple minutes. The only thing I can think of is that it takes an ambient light measurement so, this could possible be why I am getting the messages. I am just not sure. Here are some of the messages:

    Is there a hardware problem or is there a conflict somewhere? Please help as this is my first Mac. The console thing says I have 4000 messages from 6/4/10. That does not seem right.

    Barney's right, philip . . .
    The console keeps track of every step . . .
    So of course there are going to be a lot of notations.
    It's the repeating over and over that means you have to pay attention.
    Most of the notations that you see are normal, usually.

  • Repeating Console Message 10.6.5 on MacBook Air (Late 2010)

    I just finished setting up the system on a new MacBook Air (13" 1.83ghz). I'm getting the following console message that repeats every 10 seconds. How can I stop it? Thanks.

    My parents new 13'' MacBook Air (late 2010) would not fall asleep. After resetting the SMC to no avail I checked the console and saw the exact same message. After deleting the plist and rebooting the machine it is falling asleep now.
    I never installed any third-party program relating to the battery and there is a folder called /usr/local however there is no sub-folder libexec nor did a "locate" in Terminal find the daemon batteryd.
    Came across a similar thread on the Japanese Apple discussion forum (clicky). Since I cannot read Japanese I can only guess at what the various posts say. There seems to be talk about it being an Apple software related issue specifically regarding the HAL.
    I checked on my MacBook Pro (mid 2010) and there is no such plist. Will check another 13'' MacBook Air when I get the chance.
    If you delete the file com.apple.batteryd.plist in the folder /System/Library/LaunchDaemons and reboot the machine the message in the console will go away.

  • Console Messages - Every 10 seconds

    I recently checked the Console Messages for my system and notice the following messages being posted every 10 seconds:
    com.apple.launchd[1] 1 Warning (org.xinetd.xinetd439) Exited with exit code: 1
    com.apple.launchd[1] 1 Warning (org.xinetd.xinetd) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
    com.apple.launchd[1] 1 Error (org.xinetd.xinetd440) posix_spawnp("xinetd", ...): No such file or directory
    Is this normal?
    If not how should I go about troubleshooting the cause of these messages.
    I am a recent convert to Apple and OS X and not familiar with the terminology.
    Can anyone help?

    launchd is the system process responsible for launching (and relaunching) other system or background processes that your system needs to function correctly. It knows to do this based on lots of configuration files, each of which describes a unique process for launchd to monitor. Most of these configuration files are kept in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/. You can take a look at some of them if you're curious -- they're just XML and usually pretty short.
    xinetd is another program/process/daemon (all these words are basically synonymous) that behaves very much like launchd. xinetd, however, is not created by Apple, but is an open source piece of software. OS X, pre 10.4, used to use xinetd to perform the actions now being done by launchd. As of 10.4, launchd replaced xinetd.
    For whatever reason on your system, launchd is trying to start xinetd. Odd. Have you recently installed something, perhaps via Mac Ports or Fink or something like that?
    Making this message stop is not overly difficult, since all you need to do is tell launchd to disable it as a service it monitors. This is easy to do from the command line, but since you're a new Mac user maybe that's not so simple An easier (i.e. graphical) way to accomplish the same thing is to download and install Lingon:
    http://lingon.sourceforge.net/
    This will allow you to browse these launchd configuration files and make changes to them. Via this program, you can disable xinetd and you should see those console messages stop.

  • I keep getting this Console message, constantly repeating. What does it mean and how do I fix it?

    This Console message repeates endlessly. I suspect this may be one of the reasons this machine is running slowly? In any event, doesn't seem normal to have an endlessly repeating error message.
    7/21/13 3:51:38 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (scManagerD[81914]) posix_spawn("/Applications/SafeConnect.app/Contents/MacOS/scManagerD", ...): No such file or directory
    Any help is appreciated.

    You have something installed called "SafeConnect?" Or did you remove it but not use the uninstaller?
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item.  Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:
        1. AppZapper 2.0.1
        2. AppDelete 3.2.6
        3. Automaton 1.50
        4. Hazel
        5. AppCleaner 2.1.0
        6. CleanApp
        7. iTrash 1.8.2
        8. Amnesia
        9. Uninstaller 1.15.1
      10. Spring Cleaning 11.0.1

  • TimeMachine Console messages lie!?

    Mac OS 10.6.8 on a MacBook Pro 13"
    I have just spent an incredibly frustrating week trying to solve what I now believe to be a non-problem on my machine, caused by the messages TimeMachine writes (or, perhaps, doesn't write) to the Console log.  I would like to understand what was actually going on, and am hoping someone out there can help fill in the blanks.
    A friend with a 15" MBP, also running 10.6.8, was having severe TimeMachine problems -- backups taking 2 hours to complete after minimal changes to the disk.  We discovered how to filter Console messages so that we were only seeing TM messages (File->New Database Search then "Sender Contains backupd" in the Database Search window).  Initially we found that TM was copying 165,000+ files for a total backup size in the KB or at biggest, a few MB.  I started using my MBP as a temporary staging disk in extracting backups in trying to solve the problem on his machine.
    In the end we reformatted his disk and reinstalled the system off his DVD.  After the initial, expected long backup we did another one, just to see what was transferred that time.  No more huge numbers of files...sighs of relief.  One further backup, just to make sure, and...uh-oh: the numbers of files being transferred in both manual backups were identical.  For a machine which contains upwards of 700,000 files, this did not seem reasonable, so we considered that the problem had only been reduced in severity.
    Then I decided to run a quick pair of backups on my machine, just to check that this behaviour was not somehow being transferred to mine during the extraction of backups mentioned above.  Whereas the Console messages for previous backup runs (from other days) reported different numbers of files, suddenly my machine was also exhibiting this strange behaviour of transferring the same numbers of files on every backup.  The numbers of files differed depending on the machine, but the pattern was constant for a given machine.  The usual pattern was that x number of files was transferred in the first backup pass (it appears that TM nearly always performs two passes, even though its window in System Prefs does not always show this) and then y number of files was transferred in the second pass.  An immediate subsequent backup would again show x files in the first pass and y files in the second.  And so on.  Sometimes the quantity of bytes transferred also followed this pattern, but not always.
    The reason that I say "usual", "sometimes" and "always" above is that at that point we discovered that one can restore a system "wholesale" from a TM
    backup, via the item in the Utilities menu when the machine is started up from the system DVD.  We had known clean backups to go back to, and our days then devolved into a pattern of (1) reformatting the HD, then (2) doing a wholesale restore from a clean backup, and then (3) trying to migrate files changed since that backup without triggering the strange behaviour (and failing, thus starting all over again).
    After several days of this, and a migration attempt performed with pairs of backups after each change migration, and migrating the changes as "manually" as possible (i.e. not copying or moving files in the Finder, but instead opening the newer version, copying the contents, opening the older version, replacing the contents, then saving) and finding that even that did not prevent the strange behaviour, we started looking for utilities which operate on TM backups.  We found TimeTracker and BackupLoupe, and finally were able to see what was actually in the backups.
    Imagine our surprise to find that for a backup which produced the following Console messages:
    17/08/12 11:12:22 am          com.apple.backupd[1751]          Starting standard backup

    that the actual contents appear to be this: (both programs report the same contents, so either they are both wrong or they are both right)
    If we assume that both programs are right, then one must inescapably conclude one of the following two things about the TM messages in the Console:
    (1) they are lies
    (2) they are not the whole truth: that TM is indeed transferring those numbers of files, and then for some reason deleting most of them (and not reporting this)!
    This begs the questions:
    (a) If the files really are being transferred, then why is it the same number of files every time, the same pattern to each backup, when the backups are being initiated one after the other, i.e. surely there isn't the time for such numbers of files to be changed, and surely it isn't possible that it's exactly the same numbers of files every time?
    (b) If the vast majority of files transferred are being deleted, why?  And why are they being transferred in the first place?
    (c) If this is happening, why is the Console not advising of this?  TM appears to fulsomely report its behaviour -- why would it not report this?
    (d) What on earth are these files in any case?
    Any help in getting closer to an understanding of this phenomenon would be gratefully received.  Having just lost literally a week of our lives to it, it would be satisfying to at least know what it was!

    The number of files is always somewhat high.  We suspect it's counting metadata (such as permissions, extended attributes, etc.) separately.  Ordinarily that doesn't indicate a problem. 
    And yes, Time Machine often makes a second "pass," if changes were made during the first one.  Often it's so quick you won't see the messages on the preferences window, or if the sizes are about the same, you may not realize that they changed.
    However, if you frequently get file counts in the area of many thousands, with only a few KB or MB, that take extremely long, you may have a problem that seems unique to some users running 10.6.8.  A few of them were able to solve it by re-installing Snow Leopard, but only going back to 10.6.7, not 10.6.8, via the "combo" update.  See Installing the ''combo'' update and/or Reinstalling OSX.
    If you do go back to 10.6.7, be aware of the 3rd item in #D5 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

    when i was in the preferences i noticed that i had 2 different files labeled com.apple.dock but the one difference was that one of the extensions was .plist like you said but there was also another with .db what does this mean?
    Leave the the .db (database) file alone, for now at least. Mine's empty, but there may be something important in yours.
    also could u elaborate more on adding .old should i add it before or after the extension?
    It doesn't really matter; you're doing this only to "hide" it from the Dock app, so it will make a new, default, one when you restart. Hopefully, that will fix the problem and you can delete the old one.
    But you don't want to lose track of it. If the problem isn't fixed, you can delete the new one and revert to the old one by just renaming and restarting again.

  • Font Book/Console message

    Hi, I have recently done and clean reinstall and it has resolved many of my issues. However, I just got this message in my conole. Can anyone tell me what to do? Also, before that I was getting messages about not being able to show some fonts. So I went to Font Book and pushed the button to resolve duplicate font issues. However, then I could not even pull up some things at all. So now, I have all the fonts back on. I got cocktail and did all the tasks. but this was left after those tasks were ran. Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Slow Mac and Suspicious Console Message

    I've been researching how to speed up my 2010 macbook running 10.75 and read about console messages. Looking at mine, I saw this:
    An instance 0x7fcba739e700 of class IMAPConnection was deallocated while key value observers were still registered with it. Observation info was leaked, and may even become mistakenly attached to some other object. Set a breakpoint on NSKVODeallocateBreak to stop here in the debugger. Here's the current observation info:
        <NSKeyValueObservationInfo 0x7fcba669c2d0> (
        <NSKeyValueObservance 0x7fcba61e04c0: Observer: 0x7fcba3e82970, Key path: isDisconnected, Options: <New: NO, Old: NO, Prior: NO> Context: 0x0, Property: 0x7fcba54daa70>
    Does that mean someone has installed a key stroke tracker???

    I believe that those messages have to do with memory management and memory being allocated and deallocated, and have nothing to do with keystroke loggers.

  • Console message when iTunes is opened

    Does anyone know the reason for the following Console messages (three or four each occasion) which appear whenever iTunes (6.0.6) is opened or upon waking computer from sleep with iTunes open. Everything appears to be working OK but would like to get these messages to stop:
    DNSServiceDiscoveryLookupServer(): {DNSServiceDiscovery.c:141} bootstraplookup() failed: $44e
    Recently disabled mDNSResponder by moving it out of /sbin to Users. I Don't know if these messages were present before or not; if not, are they, perhaps, a consequence of disabling Bonjour?
    Is iTunes somehow automatically trying to connect to a server or to activate Bonjour?
    Have all sharing options in Network turned off. Anything in iTunes Preferences that could conceivably try to connect automatically, e.g. Sharing, are off as well. Also moved iTunes plist to desktop to create new plist, but that didn't help.
    Thanks.

    Hi again!
    Yes, it's from moving that file.
    I have it 3 times...
    DNSServiceDiscoveryLookupServer(): {DNSServiceDiscovery.c:141} bootstraplookup() failed: $44e
    iTunes works fine, but I do no sharing, nor buy any music inline.

  • Console Messages - Not Updating/Working

    Hi, went to look for something in my Console Messages today and it does not seem to have any new information since April 11th 2009. It has info from the 5th-11th and that is it.
    How can I get it to show recent data? Is it not working or has become corrupt somehow?
    Any ideas?

    Here is what shows up when I filter system.log with crash:

    Safari was slow going from page to page

    The message about the SyndicationAgent means there is one of your RSS feeds that isn't functioning properly. Try deleting all the feeds you don't use.
    The "extended attributes" error comes from running the periodic tasks and is harmless (there's a mistake in Apple's periodic task script). I think the "Mail system is down" is also from the periodic tasks running and also harmless.
    My windowserver.log also has the hot key nonsense and the "mapping new allocations" business, and everything is working fine, so I would guess that is also harmless.
    Have no idea about the "kCGErrorCannotComplete" errors, nor the "CGContextClipToRect: invalid context" error in mail.
    You might try setting up a test account and see if Safari works there. If it does, then you know there is some setting you have in regular account that is causing the problems.
