Normal Startup Messages (System.log; Intel Verbose Mode)?

Over this past weekend, I wanted to test the backup I had for my 24" iMac. I had always used Apple's Backup program that comes with .Mac when I had my PowerBook, and never tested it. This was bad, because it didn't work when I actually needed it.
I also suspected there might be something slightly wrong with my iMac, so equipped with about 4 hours and my install DVDs i went to work.
The only thing I've done so far is get all the Apple updates and setup my iChat account. I changed to boot in verbose mode, and found that the eery messages that scared me prior to doing my reinstallation of OS X (I zeroed the drive, then did a full install) were still there.
Here is my entire System.log:

The lines that concern me are the ones bolded at the top of System.log
The other thing that is a bit unnerving to me is that when I have it set to boot in verbose mode, and then restart the computer, I get a screen that looks out of place. It is a box with a dark background in the center of the screen with text in there, and then it quickly switches to full screen verbose mode. The first line of full screen verbose mode (which is what I'm used to since I always used verbose mode on my PowerBook) is this one:
Jan 30 09:23:08 localhost kernel[0]: hi mem tramps at 0xffe00000
In the centered text, it mentions something about "loading drivers" followed by many lines of periods. It is only up for about 5 seconds, and then switches to full screen verbose mode. Is that centered window for verbose mode new to intel Macs? I never recall seeing it on my PowerBook.
When i googled around for the "hi mem tramps" message, i found it might be linked to bad ram. I used memtest and did 3 passes to check the ram, and it found no errors.
Are these messages in System.log normal?
Thanks!

Hi, Mike.
First, please don't use the "scatter gun" or "post everywhere" approach. I see you've also post the same question here. I appreciate your urgent desire for help, but it would be very annoying to anyone answering questions here to spend time researching your question in one post, only to find it already answered in another place where it was also posted. The "scatter gun" approach is a good way to get all your future posts ignored.
According to what I read in the second post of this topic on another forum, I suspect you may have a Startup Item that's causing the highlighted messages to be written to system.log. Perhaps some PowerPC code you may have migrated over to your Intel-based Mac if you used the Setup / Migration Assistant to move to the new Mac from a pervious Mac.
There have been numerous posts about the tfp: failed on 0 message, which can be seen in this search of the Discussions. However, I suspect the explanation I've cited above fits your situation.
If an errant Startup Item is the cause, my "Troubleshooting Startup and Login Items" FAQ can help you pin that down if such an item is causing the problem.
As to hi mem tramps…, that may be normal. If you read this item and click on the link for dmesg you'll see a typical output someone else posted as, I suspect, an example of "normal."
Good luck!

Grey screen on startup - verbose mode:"We are hanging here..."! Please help

Dear everybody!
I'm cross-posting from the iBook forum, because I found some helpful posts over here after posting my problem there. I hope someone can help with these NEWS:
Here´s the short version:
Two days ago freeze during dragging a pdf to a USB storage. I shut down all other apps, then also finder, iBook becme unresponsive, so I shut it down with the power button. Since then, I permanently get the grey screen with four language "You need to restart your computer..." on normal startup, no problems starting in safe mode, but then some other strange things happen (e.g. no volume adjustable, no speakers and no mic in sound prefs).
AHT from original disc: no problems found
Tried Command S during startup with fsck -fy, same problem on reboot.
Tried Verbose mode, below is the very interesting last lines:

Am I having a kernel panic? If yes, why does the console panic log not state any panic since more than a year? What's my next step?
Thanks for any useful ideas in advance!
Keywan

As for now, only thing that helped was an archive and install with preserve user settings. Seems after the reinstall of 10.4. everything that was weird has become normal again. I hope very much this state stays on for a while - or ever!
A comment to everybody: with problems that are common you get a lot of help from friendly users in here, but if like in my situation things get a bit more uncommon than the usual querks and troubles your bound to go through a whole workflow of tests and algorithms - i did learn some new things but eventually I had to go for the ultimate - the reinstall (of course, erase and install would have been more work.) and it's frustrating not to find out how it came to this problem. I wish I could nail it down to something I did mistakenly - i guess I'll find out next time.
THANKS THOUGH to those who replied.

TS2570 iMac won't boot, GSOD with Flashing Question Mark, safe/verbose mode not possible

I have an iMac 24", just over 2 years old running OS X v10.5 (Leopard). Mighty Mouse and bluetooth keyboard, no peripherals.
It slowed enormously over the last few weeks and has now ceased to boot.
On switching on I hear the chime (blank grey screen initially), the grey screen hangs for approx 30sec before the flashing folder/?mark icon appears.
There is no further progress.
Boot key combination results:
Can reset NVRAM (Option-Command-P-R)
Cannot boot to safe mode
Cannot boot to startup manager
Cannot boot to verbose mode
Cannot boot from target media (DVD etc)
Cannot boot to AHT mode
Cannot boot to single user mode
I have followed the steps here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570
Disconnect, test peripheral devices and network cables - done - de-powered and rebooted. No difference.
Perform a Safe Boot- this does not work. I am familiar with the boot combinations and timings. The safe boot leads to the same flashing folder/?mark icon. I have also tried verbose, single user, AHT and startup manager with the same result.
Reset the NVRAM / PRAM - done - this worked and kicks the system into an auto-reboot after 3-5 seconds. This also demonstrates the Keyboard is fine. The subsequent boot fails at the same point via normal, safe or verbose boot instructions.
Start from your Mac OS X Install disc; use Disk Utility – I never received an OSX install disk. I have the original box with receipts etc, the only disk present is an unsealed version of iLife (yeah thanks Apple). Where would I get one?
Check your cables and power source – done - all fine.
Remove third-party RAM and internal hardware – not applicable.
Perform an Archive and Install installation of Mac OS X – how would I do this when I cannot boot the device?
Perform an Erase and Install installation of Mac OS X as a last resort – how would I do this when I cannot boot the device?
To me the problem looks like a HDD failure. I had windows (dual boot) professionally installed when I bought the iMac and since the Windows boot option is also not visible (startup manager itself does not work) I suspect the system can’t find bootable media because the HDD isn’t spinning.
An OS corruption would generally affect one or the other but presumably not both Operating Systems simultaneously.
It's hard to be certain, but I’m sure it used to make more noise.
I had a look into opening it up and troubleshooting the physical components but it’s hard to know where to start. There are no obvious ways in and I’m not a professional so decided to post a question here rather than hack it open.
I'd be grateful if you could suggest next steps here, or is it time to go dig a hole in the garden? I certainly expected more than 2yrs life from a £1200 unit.
Many Thanks,
Ryan

Thanks for the response,
I bought the iMac new, 17th Jan 2010, all receipts intact but no extended warrenty. I declined the Applecare Plan for two reasons.
(1) The sales rep seemed very confident in the product build. In fact the main justification of the price tag was the quality of the device. I'd also never had an apple device malfunction at that stage.
(2) The incumbent EU regulations are quite fair in so much as legislation dictates electrical goods should be manufactured to function for a 'reasonable' lifetime. I would be morally uncomfortable paying for rights I theoretically already have.
I triple checked on the OS X disks you mentioned but no joy. Unusual as it may be, the box has not been used and it's contents reflect the day of purchase.
I'm happy to order the OS X v10.5 DVD and attempt a boot to the disk utility, I don't mind risking a few bucks on a potential fix. I'll need to figure out where to order the disk, the call centre is closed ATM so watch this space.
What I'd really be interested in is; (a) is there a known diagnostic routine to determine the HDD functionality and (b) it is possible to replace/upgrade the HDD? This for me is where the iMac loses ground against a conventional PC in terms of motherboard/component access. It's far superior from an asthaetics perspective while things are running smoothly and the OS is great but the first sign of a hardware malfunction and there seems little or no scope to self-medicate the device.
The disk has around 40-60 GB free space.
I don't have a second Mac, nor any friends or family with a Mac to 'borrow' for the disk utility test you mentioned. I'll hunt around this afternoon/week but my instinct tells me finding a locally accessable Mac running 3 yr old OS X might not be possible. Again, watch this space, I'll post any further developments.
In the meantime any further assistance or answers to the above questions on determining HDD status would be much appreciated. No progress has yet been made on the original issue of failing to boot.
Many Thanks
Ryan

Freezing at startup - weird message when starting up in verbose mode

My macbook pro, only about 2 months old, freezes a lot while its starting up. i have to keep turning it off and on for it to work. It gets stuck at the grey screen with the apple and the loading icon.
I decided to start up in verbose mode and maybe i can see what the problem is. So i did just that and i got this error message:
SATA WARNING: completing a zero block transfer.
it keeps repeating that message and scrolling down the screen forever.
I have no idea what that could be.

Most likely a problem with the disk and/or some corruption of the directory. Be sure to back up your own data if you haven't done so already. Then boot from your install disk and go to the menu bar and select Disk Utility and then Repair Disk. If it reports a problem and fixes it, run it again until everything comes up clean. If it reports a problem it can't fix you could invest in DiskWarrior, or, if you have AppleCare I believe you got a free copy of TechTool, you could try running that.

Huge system.log file filled with over a million messages about NSATSTypeset

Hi,
I just happened to notice the system.log file on my MacBook Pro laptop was absolutely huge - over 1.2 GBytes in just one day. Almost all of it is messages like this:
Mar 31 12:26:23 macbook quicklookd[228]: <NSATSTypesetter: 0x146b40>: Exception * table 0x1473caa0 has block 0x147b3040 rather than 0x147b4850 at index 7573 raised during typesetting layout manager <NSLayoutManager: 0x124140>\n 1 containers, text backing has 16461 characters\n selected character range {16461, 0} affinity: downstream granularity: character\n marked character range {16461, 0}\n Currentl

Ignoring...
and there are over 1.3 million of these messages!!!! There is a tiny bit of variation in some of the numbers (but not all). That is just a little bit more than the total number of files I have on the hard drive in the laptop, so it would appear that the quicklookd is doing something to each and every file on the computer. Any idea why all of a sudden these messages appear and why so many. I only have about 7 versions of the system.log files and none of them are even close to this big, but the one one thing I did do today that I have not in a few weeks is reboot my laptop because of another problem with the laptop screen not waking this morning from being put to sleep last night (was just black but computer was running and could login to it from another computer in the LAN it is attached).
Any ideas why this is happening, or is this something that always happens on a reboot/boot rather than waking from sleep. Why would the quicklookd be printing out so many of these messages that are almost exactly alike???
I have only had this MacBook for a few weeks, so don't have a good feel for what is normal and what isn't yet.
THanks...
-Bob

Bob,
Thanks for your further thoughts and the additional information. My guess is that Quick Look does its file processing independently of whether or not or how recently the computer has been rebooted. The NSATSTypesetter messages filling up the log file are almost certainly error messages and should not occur with normal operation of Quick Look. I suspect that your reboot doesn't directly have anything to do with this problem. (It might have indirectly contributed in the sense that either whatever caused the need for the reboot or the reboot process itself corrupted a file, which in turn caused Quick Look to fail and generate all those error messages in the log file.)
In the meantime I may have a solution for this problem. This morning I rebooted in single user mode and ran AppleJack in manual mode so that I could tell it to clean up all user cache files. (I'd previously downloaded AppleJack application from http://applejack.sourceforge.net/ . To boot in single user mode hold command and s keys at startup chime. ... Run the five AppleJack maintenance tasks in order. The third task will give you the option to enter numbers of users whose cache files will be cleaned. Do this cache cleaning for all users.) In the six hours since I ran AppleJack I've seen exactly two NSATSTypesetter error messages in /var/log/system.log . This compares with hundreds of thousands in the same period yesterday. I just set an iCal alarm to remind me to report back to this discussion thread in two weeks on this issue.
Best,
Chris.
PS: Above you mention 7 log files. Are the older ones of the form system.log.0.bz2 ? If so they have been compressed. Just because they are small doesn't necessarily mean there are not a lot of nearly identical error messages. Uncompress to check. I haven't tried this because large files are very inconvenient to work with on my old iBook.

Lots of system log messages from nsurlstoraged, also systemstatsd

I'm running Yosemite (10.10.2) on an old Mini (details below). I am not having particular problems with slowness, crashes, etc., but I'm seeing repeated messages in the System Log which seem to be errors:
nsurlstoraged[300]: ERROR: shrinkDB - shrink of file system cache did not fully complete. Result: 11
systemstatsd[1286]: assertion failed: 14C1514: systemstatsd + 3283 [A886B71F-3A31-3324-9B30-5143FDF4ECCB]: 0xb
For at least the past 2 days, the systemstatsd messages have the exact same values. When the computer is in active use, I get 2 of them every 3 to 4 minutes.
The nsurlstoraged messages are a little more frequent but don't have such a clear pattern. Some other messages from that source which are interspersed with the above message include the following:
nsurlstoraged[1263]: realpath() returned NULL for /var/root/Library/Caches/ocspd
nsurlstoraged[1263]: The read-connection to the DB=/var/root/Library/Caches/ocspd/Cache.db is NOT valid. Unable to determine schema version.
nsurlstoraged[1263]: ERROR: unable to determine file-system usage for FS-backed cache at /var/root/Library/Caches/ocspd/fsCachedData. Errno=13
Should I be concerned about resolving these, or can I just ignore them? I did run the string of commands provided in the forum by Linc which are intended to reset the privileges on everything in my home directory to the default values, and I also ran the password reset process via the recovery partition to reset the ACLs.
Just a few quick notes about my system:
- the volume My Mac system (external) is not the system or boot disk. It has most of my image files (including iPhoto libraries) plus the iTunes Media folder. I did not run any commands there to reset file/directory permissions.
- the volume Macintosh HD is the system disk and contains my home directory.
- I am planning to upgrade from to 4 GB to 8 GB RAM.
Thanks very much for any insight into these messages!

I switched over to an early 2008 20-inch iMac (booting from same external disk) and the "ERROR:shrink DB" and "assertion failed" messages are continuing, so I doubt that it is related to the hardware unless it's the external drive itself or the Firewire cable.
Any help would be appreciated...

This cleared up the MLBNexDefAutobahn message... not the rest however.

1. Open your User folder.

Wait and pray. Phew! Gone. It'll probably open your Unix terminal.
[[EDIT: ACK! OSX Lion has hidden the Library folder. It's still there. TO find the User's Library folder in OSX, go to Finder and choose Go > Go to Folder... and type ~/Library in the box. ]]

Last week I've install Mac OS X Mountain Lion and then after the installation finish my IMAC start up in verbose mode. How can I turn off this mode and start my IMAC normally. I've try to key in the code "sudo nvram boot-args=" in terminal also.

Thank you for all of your answer.

I've seen it mentioned on here that a PRAM reset may solve it:
Reset PRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P and R.
You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

This sounds like hardware error involving your NIC.
I know of others who have the same error message pop
up. You might want to have Apple check it out, the last
person I spoke to had to have their motherboard replaced.

Console message and system.log

Hi,
in the console system.log always apear this message every 30 second:
+Feb 16 02:22:55 Macintosh SystemUIServer[346]: Error: ACInterfaceGetPower() called with invalid interface+
+Feb 16 02:23:25: --- last message repeated 5 times ---+
and every 5 second this other message:
16/02/08 02:40:55 SystemUIServer[346] Error: ACInterfaceGetPower() called with invalid interface
.. and the message look like an infinite loop message.
Is it a problem ?
And i can ear the Internal HD run always.
Thanks on advice for any help
Ale

I just went through a bunch of research on this on my own iMac G5. (BTW - do you have an iMac G5 or an iMac Intel Core Duo? It can't be both)
It comes down to the items that the SystemUIServer is trying to call. if you look at <homefolder>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist and open it with TextEdit, you'll see that, among other things, it references 8 menuExtras -
Battery.menu
Displays.menu
TimeMachine.menu
Bluetooth.menu
AirPort.menu
Volume.menu
Clock.menu
User.menu
While logged in as an administrative user, I launched System Preferences, Activity Monitor, and the Console looking at *+All Messages+*. I got the same ACInterfaceGetPower() error every 5 seconds, too. So I went through the Preferences and deactivated each menu item above, but the messages continued to appear.
I had two items that might have been causing a problem. The first was the fact that I had the AirPort signal showing up in the menu bar, even though the Network location I have set up does not have AirPort as an available service. I added the Airport service back in, disabled the menu icon, removed the AirPort service again, and Applied the changes. I'm pretty sure the error message was still appearing at this point.
The big change came when I opened up Accounts. First, I went to the Login Items section for my current user. I noticed that the EyeTV Helper and an Adobe process were both there along with the iTunes Helper process. I removed the first two using the "-" at the bottom. That actually appeared to fix it, but I proceeded to the Login Options section and disabled *Fast User Switching*. That removes the users from the menu bar. By this time the only thing left in the menu bar was the Spotlight icon.
Switching over to Activity Monitor, I killed the SystemUIServer process. It restarted and the ACInterfaceGetPower() messages did not reappear. I then re-activated each item, one at a time, killing the SystemUiServer after each activation. Again, the messages did not appear. I did not re-activate Bluetooth or AirPort, since I do not need them.
I am no longer getting those messages and the system appears to be running fine right now.
I have an external monitor attached to the iMac G5 as well as 4 FireWire hard drives. I am connected to the outside world via FiOS and I have a 100 Mb CAT-5 connection to that router.

When ever I use Adobe reader 11 with a USB device, I cannot safe remove the USB device and get the following message (or similar one) in system log: The application \Device\HarddiskVolume1\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe with pr

When ever I use Adobe reader 11 with a USB device, I cannot safe remove the USB device and get the following message (or similar one) in system log: The application \Device\HarddiskVolume1\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe with process id 6620 stopped the removal or ejection for the device USB\VID_05DC&PID_C75C\20131215015821328FC8.

Any ideas?

In addition to that symptom, I discovered that even though I had closed all Adobe Reader sessions, the processes kept running and used up 90%+ of my CPU.

Org.samba.winbindd logs constant throttling respawn messages in system.log

I am running Mac OS X 10.6.4 on a MacBookPro5,1 (Intel Core 2 Duo) system.
My network connectivity is fine as far as I can tell. I recently discovered the following message being logged over and over in the system.log log file:
7-17-10 11:49:09 o'clock com.apple.launchd[1] (org.samba.winbindd) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
7-17-10 11:49:19 o'clock com.apple.launchd[1] (org.samba.winbindd[157]) Exited with exit code: 1
This is really annoying when trying to view the log output to diagnose a problem I with an application I'm trying to develop
What can stop these message from appear in my log output?

I checked the Console application and found a log file in it call log.winbindd. It has several entries like the following in it that might be relevant:

Hi Judith,
The language-dependent table TSL1T contains system log messages. These
messages may occur if the syslog message does not exist in the logon
language.
There can be several reasons for missing text: (note 46062.)
      - The language import did not run correctly.
      - The text was not yet translated.
      - A kernel is used whose release is younger than the R/3 System (downward-compatible kernel) and this kernel generates Syslog messages that are not yet in the corresponding R/3 release. Example: R/3 Release 4.6B with kernel 4.6D. If the Release 4.6D kernel generates a Syslog message which is not yet in Release 4.6B, no entry table TSL1T is found.
Some corruption may exist in the syslog, so you should delete it as per SAP Note 45580.
Please try to make sure you have applied the latest kernel patch to remove all the known bug.
Also see SAP Notes:
#46062    Entries with TSL1T in syslog
#45580    How are syslog files deleted?
#761220 SYSLOG: Message.....Missing: TSL1Tx

Vincent

System Log file filled with arp message from teamed nics

Hello,
We are running a Win2k3 server with dual nics teamed to one IP address. All of our Mac's system logs are being filled with the following message:
Mar 28 12:48:58 Son-of-Spacedog kernel[0]: arp: 192.168.200.50 moved from 00:04:23:b9:00:4a to 00:04:23:b9:00:4b on en0
This is repeated over and over. Is there any way to get the Mac's to stop generating this message? Is the fix for this on the server side or on the Mac side? From what I have seen online in other forums, this started happening with Panther.

There are actually several different types of NIC Teaming Modes:
Adapter Fault Tolerance (AFT) - provides automatic redundancy for a server's network connection. If the primary adapter fails, the secondary adapter takes over. Adapter Fault Tolerance supports two to eight adapters per team. This teaming mode works with any hub or switch, and all team members must be connected to the same device.
Switch Fault Tolerance (SFT) - provides a failover relationship between two adapters when each adapter is connected to a separate switch. Switch Fault Tolerance supports two adapters per team. This feature works with any switch. Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) must be enabled when you create a team in SFT mode.
Adaptive Load Balancing (ALB) - provides load balancing for transmission traffic and adapter fault tolerance. You can also enable or disable receive load balancing (RLB) in ALB teams. This teaming mode works with any switch.
Fast EtherChannel/Link Aggregation - provides increased transmission and reception throughput in a team of two to eight adapters. This mode also includes adapter fault tolerance and load balancing (only routed protocols). This requires a switch with Link Aggregation or FEC capability.
Gigabit EtherChannel/Link Aggregation - is the gigabit extension of the FEC/Link Aggregation/802.3ad: static mode. All team members must operate at gigabit speed.
IEEE 802.3ad: dynamic mode - creates one or more teams using dynamic Link Aggregation with same-speed or mixed-speed adapters. Like the static Link Aggregation modes, Dynamic 802.3ad teams increase transmission and reception throughput and provide fault tolerance. This mode requires a switch that fully supports the IEEE 802.3ad standard.
Now, most likely, somewhere on the network a server is configured for ALB or AFT, and these are the most common methods of NIC teaming (Sadly, the XServes do not). They also do not require any certain type of switch, but they do require STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) to be turned off to function most effectively, or you will see errors on the network like the ones you are seeing in your log. Most managed switches come with STP turned on by default, so you will need to check ALL switches (as the errors will cascade throughout the network) to see if it STP is turned on. Most people do not use STP any more (it basically allows ports on one switch to appear as on another switch), so see if you can turn it off. That should stop the error messages.

I am getting a warning need more space on my disk. I have checked the Console and there have been 4000 thousand messages in my system log in the last 2 days. I have emptied as many files as possible.

Hi
I am getting a warning on opening my mac saying I need more space as my setup disk is full. I have emptied many files as well as my Trash. I am planning to get an external drive for my photos, but it has been suggested that I check Console and under the system log the following message (of which they say 4000 messages have been logged in 2 days) '06/06/2014 16:08:23.341 com.apple.dynamic_pager: dynamic_pager: Need more space on the disk to enable swapping'. This is a copy of one of the items. It is from the system log. I really do not think I have enough files to warrant this warning, with the exception of photos. My storage shows 143 MB free out of 120.47. Thanks for any help.

First off, no MacBook Air can run 10.3 or earlier.
Secondly, are you sure you only have 143MB of storage free? That's seriously low. With MacBook Airs of 120 GB hard drives, or even 140 GB which is often the case when it says out of 120, you shouldn't allow your free space to go down below 20 GB. MB is 1024 fold less than a GB. So if you really have 143MB free on a MacBook Air, you are long past the minimum space you should be keeping it at, and need to start clearing a lot of space now*:

I'm asking this thread be moved to the MacBook Air forum,a as we can't say for certain what you have when you post in the 10.3 or earlier forum.
