NOTICE: System-wide email outage

Since verizon hasn't posted anything yet, I figure I would do it.
It appears that the verizon.net email is having significant problems today (21 April). It appears that access to your verizon.net email account is sporadic at best. This includes accessing it through the verizon webpage or with a third-party email program (like Outlook). This failure has been ongoing since this morning (~ 10 AM Eastern time) and continues (current time is 1:30 PM Eastern Time). Based on a review of posts on this forum, it appears widespread. I live in the Baltimore/DC area and I've seen other posts from Texas, Florida and California.

This same type of outage has been happening during the daytime hours on various days for at least a month. It seems that Verizon is trying to merge their different sites together and are locking the system down. So the system will come back up late this afternoon and stay up until another day when they make another attempt at merging. Meanwhile, they don't understand how critical it is when access to email is lost. Verizon should roll out a schedule of when they will be working on the system and that there may be a chance that the system will go down.

Why does my ssh tunnel drop when I switch on a system wide proxy

The subject says pretty clearly what is puzzling me. After I establish a connection via ssh and initiate a tunnel for email access through a corporate firewall (using Apple Mail as the client and POP3 for the protocol), I find that enabling a system wide proxy (socks5, http, and https) via the same ssh tunnel causes the email to stop working. Upon switching, the http proxy (Safari) works fine -- e.g. the tunnel is healthy. This confuses me. The ssh link which hosts several tunnels is fine. I am forwarding local port 10025 and 10110 on the tunnel to a mail server behind the firewall. The socks5 proxy and http proxy are running on local ports 11080, 18080, and 18080, respectively. Why is Apple mail paying attention to the proxy settings at all? It would seem that since Apple Mail makes no attempt to connect (via the Activity window) that the link is dead, however, turning off the proxy brings the email tunnel back to normal. Wierd. Any advice? This is running on a normal 10.4 (not server), but I don't think there are any significant differences in behavior. I asked on the networking discussion, but got no response.

Two things jump into my mind: poor WiFi signal strength on the desktop PC or a dirty OS installation on the desktop PC. I'm quite sure that this has nothing to do with the cisco VPN client itself.
Assuming that you reach your remote workspace through the cisco VPN client it might also be that the remote part (the VPN concentrator) gets congested and drops your connection but than other employees would complain as well (can be checked with your ICT guys).
The thing is: when you lose Internet connection on your laptop while surfing a web site and connection comes back again within no time you won't notice anything. If the same happens to a system constantly receiving encrypted packets and some are missing the VPN client will drop the connection. Completely different protocols (http/ipsec) that are differently prone to packet drops...

FDM System-wide

I tried using FDM and i love it. However, I did a thorough Google search and this forum for a solution to my issue but could not find any answer. I hope someone will be able to assist me with a solution.
Am wondering if it is possible for FDM to fetch mails from an ISP Domain box (multidrop/catchall mailbox) that holds mails for several users , and then hand them to Postfix that has Dovecot LDA delivery configured. The mails will then be delivered (by Dovecot's LDA) to respective users. I use Fetchmail (that is able to do this), but there are some issues with it, (like sometimes it gets stuck on large mails, etc).
Here I illustrate my current Fetchmail System-wide setup's /etc/fetchmailrc file:
# /etc/fetchmailrc
set postmaster [email protected]
set no bouncemail
set daemon 300
set logfile = "/var/log/fetchmail.log"
poll isp.domain.com proto pop3
localdomains abc.net
no dns
no envelope
user domain_mbox_username
pass domain_mbox_passwd
is * here
In the above fetchmailrc, "is * here*, * is aliased to our catchall account in our local postfix server. The ISP domain mailbox is configured as a catch-all domain and it holds our users emails (several different email addresses but all "@abc.net")
I couldnt find a way to do this with FDM since I am limited to delivering to mbox/maildir directly, and the way I understand it is that I would have to create individual inbox references. This would be tedious if we have some hundreds pop3 local mailboxes, ( I might be wrong in my assumption).
With my current setup, aliasing to the catchall account automatically distributes to respective mailboxes by reading the mail headers. (and also am not very good in coding, please treat me like a newbie )
Looking forward to your assistance.
Thanks and regards,
Clemo

Hi, this post is for 10g, bu I don't think much have changed (except the file location: \MWHOME\instances\instance1\bifoundation\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obips1\catalog\YOUR_CATALOG\root\system\metadata)

I didn't test it myself.

When I select text, system wide, and delete it, why is the succeeding text then selected?

When I select text, system wide, and delete it, why is the succeeding text then selected?
This doesn't happen all the time, but it's happened enough for me to notice it and get super annoyed by it.
Here's an example. If I have the following text:
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
And I highlight quick brown and then press delete, I get: (The red shows the selected text)
The fox jumps over the lazy dog.
So when I then start typing, more text is removed than I want. Sometimes this effect carries over, so that the next couple words are selected once I start typing.
It's wonderfully annoying. So I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing such issues or if anyone might have an idea on how to get rid of this problem.
Thanks.

Ooops. I haven't updated my sig in a while. I'm on 10.8.2 and it happens on a late 2008 Alu Macbook.

System Wide Permissions Problem

I have a MacBook Pro, OS 10.5.8, which I've been using since 2009, and this is the first time I've encountered the problem described below.
I'm suddenly having what seems to be a system wide permissions problem. Tonight I found I couldn't add a new folder (the option was grayed out), and I noticed a pencil icon with a line through it at the bottom of the window. When I chose Get Info for that window, my name was missing from Sharing & Permissions. There was also a new name, "wheel", which I've never seen before. (3 names in all: system, wheel, eveyone.) This affects a lot of folders stemming off the HD (Applications, Library, etc.), but my user folder folder is unaffected.
I've rebuilt the permissions several times in Disk Utility, and also repaired the disk after getting an error message when verifying. But the permissions problem is still there.
So I'm wondering what in the heck could have caused this, and how can I fix it?
I found I could add my name back to the permissions list in one of the affected folders, using Get Info, and this solved the issue for that folder, but there are a LOT of folders with the same issue. Perhaps if I did this with the HD folder, and selected the "Apply to enclosed items" option at the bottom?
FWIW, we just bought & set up a new iMac, OS 10.8.2, last week. I looked at a number of folders on it using Get Info, and it seems to be configured pretty much the same way with regard to permissions, which is a little spooky. Don't know if it makes any difference, but I used the same user name, login password, apple ID & password when I set up the new computer as I have on my Macbook. Could that have caused this somehow?
Thanks for any help or thoughts.

Thank you, BDAqua for the link.
I use my MacBook Pro mainly for creating music (DAW program & plug-ins). I've occasionally had to change permissions on individual plug-ins, but never to a group of folders on this scale.
I'm wondering if there's a way to get my old permissions back, or if I should leave it as is at this point, and add my user name to the permissions on individual folders as the need arises? Don't want to screw everything up, as this is getting a little over my head.
Any recommendations?

System wide freezes since 10.5.5

Ever since upgrading to 10.5.5 I've noticed the following sort of system-wide freeze on my iMac.
First, one application becomes unresponsive; you get the spinning beachball of death; you can still move the mouse around and click; every application becomes unresponsive, including the Finder. Only a hard restart works.
At first I noticed the problem in iChat, and looked into that. Hey presto, other users are experiencing the same problem with iChat, so I wrote to Apple/feedback and sat and waited. I stopped using iChat, and then found it happened in iTunes. Look at the iTunes discussion, and yes, there it is again, other users having the same problem.
I've repaired permissions, run Onyx, done everything I can think of.
Console doesn't have any useful (to me) messages. It says:

That kernel bootcache looks ominous, but I have little idea what it means. I wonder whether it's something to do with Time Machine backing up. Of course, the above might just be totally unrelated to what's going wrong. (Looking at Console is I find rather like looking at a medical dictionary; it's truly frightening, but most of it never in practice seems to be a problem.)
Anyone else experiencing random system freezes only since 10.5.5? Anyone suggest what else I can try or look for in Console to pin things down a bit more?

Hello all,
Let me chime in on this also... I also experienced freezes immediately after I updated to 10.5.5 from 10.5.4 about 10 days ago. I had never had my Mac (Black MacBook with 4GB or RAM) freeze that much, so I concluded that it had to do with the update.
After multiple freezes, I brought the Mac to the Apple Store where a Genius did a disk check, hardware check and everything checked out OK. However, the random freezes remained. They then did an archive and install *back to 10.5.4*, but same thing, freezes remained. At random intervals.
Around that time, I noticed that if I waited long enough, the machine would return from the freeze and everything would operate normally after that.
I seem to remember that the first ever time I noticed the freeze was when I was working in the Mail application.
After my fifth successive daily visit to the Genius Bar, where they offered to completely format my internal drive, install a fresh copy of 10.5.4 and re-load my data back in. On this, they completely failed me, they returned my computer with half of the applications missing (the iPhoto application was not even on the drive), and my data partially restored.
I then decided to re-format my drive once again, use the 10.5.2 Install Disk that came with my Mac to freshly install the OS. Then immediately thereafter I downloaded the 10.5.5 combo installer and used it to upgrade to 10.5.5. Then, I selectively copied files from my Time Machine backup hard drive back to my internal drive.
Time Machine did not work for me when trying to restore e-mail mailboxes. It only partially imported the mailboxes I needed. Instead I had to do an "import mailboxes" from the Mail application and point it to the mailbox location on my Time Machine backup.
So, now I have a system that is lean and clean, I didn't install any "major" other applications using installers, just a few applications I drag-copied to the Applications folder.
The machine ran fine for a day or two, until I tried to move some mail from my inbox into another mailbox. Boooom, spinning beach ball again. I let the machine sit for about 5 minutes, and it came back. But this indicates that there is still an issue.
Since I also experienced this problem after going back to 10.5.4, I am wondering whether the 10.5.5 install does affect firmware or other device 'hardware' functionality that remains, even after reverting to 10.5.4. This is the only reason I can come up with for why the problem still existed when I went to 10.5.4.
Anyway, this post does not provide a solution, but merely some other data points.
Oh and by the way, I had never even started iTunes before this problem showed up again this morning. So, not sure whether it is related to iTunes.

System wide configuration file

I have a number of EJBs and plain Java Objects that all share a common set of 'configuration
properties' that the business would like to configure in run-time to affect how
the EJBs work.
Hence, I think that defining the same properties per EJB deployment descriptor
is overkill and wouldn't allow the business to change all EJBs at once.
What I'm really looking for is a system wide configuration XML file. Has anyone
got any ideas for how to make this a true singleton across the whole application
(2 app server clusters)??
Database is the obvious choice but seems overkill - the EJBs will use the configuration
information very frequently leading to lots of database reads. Has anyone got
a good 'file' equivalent that does some temporary caching instead?
Long shot I know, but thought that I'd ask.

OK thanks.
I'm starting to get twitchy about using read only entity beans to represent what
is afterall a set of name/value pairs. So I either:
1) Have an Entity bean instance per name/value pair. So I use findByPrimaryKey
(the name of the property)
2) Have an Entity bean that stores the whole collection of properties internally
and provides a 'getProperty' business method. But I feel like this is bending
the use of Entity beans though (what would findByPrimaryKey do?!)
May just go for a caching POJO instead.

System wide font settings

I am a websdite designer / developer and I am noticing that I may have accidently hit a key combination that has changed my system wide font settings...
I have a co-worker, same hardware / software and my browsers render my code different. Same browser, same versions, etc.
It seems my fonts a slightly larger, etc.
Can someone please direct me toward the system settings to fix this? Ive checked my settings and have yet to come across anything that
seems like it has helped at all. Its every browser for me, safari, chrome, firefox, etc.
I have checked 4-5 other mac computers and all render properly.
Thank you

I found the issue.
The site I built is rendering RALEWAY from google fonts... but since i have Raleway installed in my fonts, in my font book, its using my computer to render the font rather than google fonts for some reason. I disabled my raleway font in font book and now it renders properly...

System wide search...

hello,
i'm trying to come up with the best way to search system wide for files that contain a certain name or maybe a certain type of file. i'm looking at any possibilities...here are some i've considered...
applescript - list folder
shell script - find, locate, msfind, ls | grep
cocoa/carbon - nsdirectoryenumerator, fscatalogsearch
i know this is the applescript forum but since there are some limitations (i think) in searching with plain applescript i'm sure all of you might have some suggestions as to what is the best approach? as for the search being system wide i should say as much possible because i want to keep the time down (as fast as possible). so i can take some shortcuts if necessary...
thank you,
rick

Great!
This test shows that the search is for files containing the name. notice that some of the files begin with period.

System wide alert(notification)

Can we show system wide alert(notification) using any of the J2ME MIDP 2.0 function. It is something like we have our MIDlet is runing, and the we move to some other screen, likeContacts or Message, and afterwards some activity takes place in our MIDlet running in background, so can we show some notification or alert at that time to let user know for that activity without being actually in that MIDlet.
Do reply.

Josef,
Somewhat chasing the point here - when you have the Solman and you look in your CCMS and you can see the other systems - it is all RFC data and not actually on the Solution Manager (the only local MTE's are those tha belong to the Solution Manager). For the Solution Manager to Centrally Auto-React to threasholds (act as the CEN System), the information needs to be passed to the Central System through the agents.
If you want to do email threasholds on your remote systems, you can configure it on each of the systems individually without agents as this is a CCMS Function that any SAP System can do - but this is not Central Auto-Reaction. This is just actions taken on individual systems based on local MTE's.
To Centrally Auto-React - you have to add the agents so the information is passed to the CEN to react on.
I hope that this has clarified the situation a bit more. If this answers your question, please set this thread to answered.

System wide jerky scrolling and delay while typing and selecting text

Hi,
I'm new to Mac (first laptop) and I'm noticing just now that the system response feels very low. There's a significant delay when showing characters after typing as well as selecting text, and jerkiness when scrolling anything, from Finder window contents to Safari web pages.
I take care of not installing suspicious software, I use a limited account for daily taks and haven't installed anything lately. Processor usage is as low as ever. Plenty of memory is free (4GB installed) and free disk space is enough (66 GB).
What is happening? Not even Windows behaved like this!
Please help!!!!

I had installed 10.5.8 and it's kind of iffy with file permissions...
The system-wide jerkiness went away with a reboot, but the Safari jerkiness I could attribute to specially heavy surfing I never did before on that day.
I'm accustomed to my Mac working speedy all the time and because of that I can be unforgiving, and it's wrong. I would never complain of jerkiness on my XP PC when opening 30+ browser instances and 100+ tabs in total because I know XP can't handle it, but that was the kind of thing I threw at Safari. And the experienced jerkiness wasn't even on all pages, just a few.

I can't figure out how to place a vacation notice on my email

How do I put a vacation notice on my email

If you are talking about the Comcast email system, then log in to your Comcast account, select Users & Preferences, then select "Email & Voice Settings", scroll down to "Auto Reply" and turn it on. You can then type your vacation message, and save it. Hope this helps.

Email Outage

Does anyone know about the current email outage on icloud??

The last email I sent was Tueday at 3:50 pm. Sometime between then and 8:30 pm, it went down. Everyone seems to forget that today, Wednesday is the day Apple is making the big iPhone 5 announcement. You think this is a coincidence? You think this was not intended to put Apple in a bad light on its big day? I'm not a big conspiracy advocate, but I don't believe in suspicious coincidences. I don't think this is an accident. For all we know, there may be an on-going attack on the system, and they have their handsful limiting damage and responding to the attack. They may not know the extent or the nature of the problem. Would you have them make announcements armed with scant information that would later prove to be incorrect? How would they notify you about the problem, call you on the phone? You don't have email or cloud, so how would they notify you? They are aware of the problem. Do you really think they are dragging their feet in trying to solve it? We expect a great deal from Apple. Nothing is perfect, but they come a whole lot closer than anyone else.

AU Lab as system-wide EQ

Im having trouble setting up a system-wide EQ on in my home studio.
I downloaded soundflower and AU Lab.
I am trying to route the audio signal to pass through AU Lab and filter it to the tuning of my control room before going out through my audio interface to my speaker monitors.
If i set up the audio preferences in system preferences to go out of soundflower and set it up as the input in AU Lab then out to my audio interface (M-Audio ProFire 610 via FireWire) i do not hear the signal.
If i change the output in system preferences to profire i do hear the signal but it does not show in AU Lab and it does not get filtered.
If i set up the audio out in system preferences through soundflower and the input and output in AU Lab through soundflower, the signal goes through AU lab and it does get filtered but i hear no sound.
Can anyone help me set it up so the signal flows as follows
Computer (CD, DVD, youtube, DAW) > soundflower > AU Lab (EQ) > Profire 610 > speaker monitors
Keeping in mind that i do record through the profire into my DAW

Just an update,
I noticed something called soundflower bed installed.
I used it to send the signal of my audio to profire but kept the system preferences audio out through soundflower and in AU Lab through sound flower as well.
It worked and i can filter the audio but there is a problem... Comb filtering.
It sounds like 2 of the same audio is playing at a slight delay ( probably a sample or 2 apart ). One signal from profire and the other from AU lab. I muted the one in AU lab and it sounded fine through profire but without the desired filter (EQ). If i mute profire, no sound comes out.
Also, after 2-5 minutes a loud buzz comes out where I usually go to soundflower bed and select no output then select the profire out again.

File Type Associations Do Not Stick System-Wide CS4

When I set File Type Associations for PSD, Tiff, DNG and Jpeg fles in Bridge CS4 so that my files will open in PS CS3 (and insure that the same file associations apply in Bridge CS3), this works as it should from within CS4 and CS3, but it is impossible to introduce a system-wide change in Mac OS 10.5.5 via File-Info. It always reverts to CS4 for these file types, if I try to 'modify all'. The same thing happened when I upgraded from CS2 to CS3.

If File Type Associations are set properly in the Bridge preferences, the default setting can be made to open files in PS CS3, with CS4 installed. This works from within CS3 and CS4. However, it sometimes happens that one is in the Finder, and the default remains PS CS4, however much one tries (via File-Get Info) to modify the default system-wide settings so that these files open in CS3. In any event, a bit invasive. Of course, if I could get comfortable with the Adjustment Layer Panels, all this would be unnecessary, but for the moment, there appear to be too many clicks, and it is going to take some time, so I don't want to burn bridges. Perhaps there is also some ambiguity in my mind as to what the pointing finger in the new Curves dialogue box, much like a tolling bell, is trying to tell me.
But thanks, once again Anne, for your good-natured help.
