Odd sleep behavior

Here's a new one on me.
I fianlly took the plunge to add eSATA to my MacBookPro (original version) with an express card eSATA. This is connected to a 400gig external drive. No more hacing to load from the cheap Canon camera onto the internal drive and then transfer top an externall firewire drive!
Here's the odd thing: while batch capturing, the display (23" Cinema Display hooked up to the laptop) goes to sleep after 15-20 miniutes. Pressing any key (like [shift]) to wake up the display messes up the capture.
I ended up "capturing now" in 10 minute chunks just to get the session moving. Bu this isn't good, obviously.
The preferences are set to "never sleep" for both the display an the hard drive(s). Yet the monitor is clearly going ot sleep. Don't know about the laptop internal drive, as I can't hear or see it. Something's amiss.
Setup: MacBook Pro, 2 gig, eSATA via express card, latest updates of FCP Studio (1, not 2), Canon consumer camera used as tape deck (I know, not good, but all that's available a the moment).
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

So the Cinema Display is the only active monitor...the laptop lid is closed. Only one monitor shows up in the preferences pane. All sleep settings are already set to "never." Drive sleep is set to never. Screen saver is set to never.
These settings were already in place - I didn't have to make any changes. I'll try to load some footage when I get a few moments to breathe.

Random freezing and odd keyboard behaviors on 10.5.8

My random freezing started on 10.5.6. Updated to 10.5.7 and the problem persist. I have decided to upgrade to 10.5.8. Everything seemed fine for a day and a half. Then all of a sudden random freezing when starting, login, wake from sleep, etc.. and now odd keyboard behaviors. function keys randomly work when computer is not frozen.
I have tried every option listed in the discussions here and elsewhere. Does anyone have the same problems?

I have tried so far:
disk permissions repaired from dvd and startup,
disk first aid,cleaned caches, virus checked, zapped the pram, reset power management, ran apple hardware check, ran disk warrior, trashed network prefs, deleted sleep image, replaced directory with techtool pro, tried new user account, re-updated, removed 3rd party software, and nothing works?????

Odd display behavior

Happy New Year to All!
I just recently upgraded to Tiger. Since that time, I have noticed some rather odd display behavior on my screen. For example, when I am on web site that has a "fill-in" box, once I highlight that box to fill it in, a black rectangle stays in that position on my screen until I click on the desktop.
Likewise, if I highlight an icon on the desktop, a black rectangle outlines the icon and stays visible until I either highlight something else or click randomly on the screen.
I never noticed this behavior under Panther (10.3.9) and while it's not a huge deal, it does seem odd. It's as if the screen doesn't refresh after moving on. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Brad
P.S. After posting this message, a black rectangle corresponding to the message edit box stayed on my screen. Irritating.

Hi William,
Yes, I tried both and booted / used my Tech Tool Deluxe repair disk. All no help. Don't know if they are related, but also have other odd things going on.
Is it normal to have two Restart selections, two Shutdown selections and two Logout Selections under the Apple menu in Tiger? I do. Didn't in Panther, but can't remember if I've always had them in Tiger. Should I?
Also, can't get my scanner (All-in-one, printer works) to run in Tiger. All of these problems go away when I boot into my 10.3.9 clone on my Firewire drive. I'd really hate to return to Panther, but ...
Basically, I'm getting some very odd behavior, from a system that has always been relatively bullit-proof until now. I do all the req'd housekeeping stuff, have both Macaroni and Cocktail. Don't know what to try.

Odd usage behavior

iPhone v101: this odd usage behavior just started half a week ago. This is the second time it happened. During standby, the usage time continues to count forward. I leave my phone on my desk not using it, but the usage still goes up. For example, the usage was 1 hour and 20 minutes when I checked like three hours ago, now it says 4 hours and some minutes. WiFi off, not running any apps, great signal and I cannot find anything running. This behavior also appear to drain the battery a little bit. The phone was not being charged or on plugged in anywhere; just sitting still on my desk. Now, the usage is back to normal and not accumulating time when I am not using it. This is strange. Have anyone else seem this happening? I had the phone for over a month now...

I didn't notice it causing any battery drain, but it sounds like I am charging it differently than you are. Here's how mine worked:
I would plug the iPhone into the wall charger at night to charge while I slept. In the morning, it would show a full charge by showing a plug on the small battery icon, but the large green battery would still have a sliver that wasn't green. The usage and standby stats would show something in the 3-4 hour range, presumably the time since it hit full charge.
I would disconnect the phone, check my email, and then take it to my desktop computer and plug it in to sync and update all my podcasts, etc. I would leave it plugged into my desktop while I showered while I got ready for work. By the time I was ready to leave, it would again show a full charge on the small icon, but now my stats would be reset to 0 and would function normally throughout the day. But nothing I did ever stopped the stats from running up during the night after attaining full charge.
1.0.1 got rid of the stats problem (they always stay at 0/0 in the morning with a full charge until I unplug the phone) AND the weird behavior of the large green battery indicator went away. Now both indicators show full charge in the morning.

Odd Manual "Sleep" Behavior

At the end of every day I restart my iMac and then manually put it to sleep (via drop-down Apple icon). Computer is programmed to wake at a fixed time each morning (works perfectly).
Commencing about 3 weeks ago (still using 10.6.2), the iMac would immediately "wake up" after "sleeping" for only about 4 seconds. A second attempt at "sleeping" is successful! This phenomenon would occur about 50% of the time.
After installing 10.6.3 (apparently fault-free), this annoyance (that's all it is) has continued.
Any ideas?

Well... I tried your suggestion, but "sleep" worked perfectly!
When it starts back up on its own volition is quite unpredictable. In the past 3 weeks, I'd say it has occurred about 50% of the evenings.
Anyway... here is last evening's log. Can you decipher the problem?

Odd Sound Behavior After 10.6.2 Update

I've had a few odd sound issues since updating to 10.6.2:
1) Volume is set at 50% after some reboots (I normally have it set at 12.5%). This has happened about 1/2 the time after reboots (which have unfortunately been much more often in 10.6).
2) While iTunes is playing the sound stops and the sound icon in the menu bar greys out. iTunes keeps 'playing' but I don't get any sound. This lasts for 5 - 10 seconds and happens a few times an hour but without any predictability.
It may happen at times that iTunes isn't playing and I just don't notice it. It has happened while the system as announcing the time as well. This may be the cause of sound issue #3 but I haven't caught the sound icon in a 'grey state' when the notification sounds don't play yet.
When the sound icon is grey I get the beach ball and Safari doesn't respond (standard 'Application not responding' message). Other apps seem to work while this is happening (Finder, System Prefs - including sound panel, FireFox, etc).
3) Some expected sounds used for feedback in Finder & Mail don't always work. This is very intermittent and may be happening more often then I notice these are notification sounds and I don't realize that I've missed them. I don't know if it's associated to the sound failure mentioned in #2.
~
I've also had some other odd behavior:
* System won't wakeup from sleep (not always but often enough to require several reboots in the last week).
* Safari just eats up RAM.
* Safari has locked up for no apparent reason (no clue as to what sets it off).
* Safari has locked up while using a Java applet. This only happens on occasion but always happens when launching a GoToMyPC session (GTMPC works fine in FireFox, even while Safari is locked up). This is separate from the Safari issue noted above.
I'm using 10.6.2 w/ Safari 4.0.4 & iTunes 9.0.2 (Flash not installed)

You could try [these grey sceen, etc., troubleshooting steps|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570] ignoring any duplicaion of what you already have don. And, you could try [these general troubleshooting steps|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1394] again ignoring duplication.
If all above fails, then I suggest you do a repair install of Sno by installing Sno over Sno as in an upgrade install. Such an install, while usually very safe, still is an install so be appropriated backed up if you proceed.

Odd mini behavior.

I use my mid-2010 Mini (MacOS 10.7.3) as part of an entertainment system. As a headless unit, I commonly access it remotely using TImbuktu.
I've run across two annoying problems. First, the system will often go to sleep even though I've disable both system and display sleep via the Energy Saver control. The hot corners (Displays) are also disabled. Since the system access my network wirelessly, the only way I can wake it up is manually - kind of defeating remote access.
The other problem is that on occasion, I'll log into the system and discover that iTunes has started up. Not the end of the world but I can find no reason fro the behavior. It certainly is not one of my login items.
Oddly, I have a 2nd mini (a mid02011 model) that is identically configured but has never showed either of these behaviors.
And suggestions?

As for why it is sleeping on its own, not sure,
but you can check the box in Energy Preferences
"Wake for network access" which should at least
solve that.
As for iTunes, is it possible that some program gets
openned or some device gets attached that may request
iTunes to open? This could be local or could be remote.
Sometimes sleep issues can, not always, be related to
an SMC issue and require an SMC reset. This is mentioned
here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
which also tells how to perform the reset.

Odd compiler behavior (re: generics)

Greetings, I am encountering a rather odd compiler generated error/warning with some code. The issue involves using an "independent" generic method of a raw-typed class. That is, the class has a variable T (call it Test<T> and has an instance method that returns ArrayList<String>. The problem: when a raw typed Test is used, the ArrayList returned is also raw. Here is some code to illustrate:
import java.util.ArrayList;
class Test<T>{
ArrayList<String> getChildren(){
    return null;
static void test1( Test t ){
    ArrayList<String> children = t.getChildren();
// WARNING:                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
//Test.java:26: warning: [unchecked] unchecked conversion
//found   : java.util.ArrayList
//required: java.util.ArrayList<java.lang.String>
static void test2( Test<?> t ){
    // OK, since we have the type variable set.
    ArrayList<String> children = t.getChildren();
}If the type variable is specified as anything but raw, then it works fine.
Is there some explantation for this behavior? My argument: since the return type of getChildren doesn't use the wildcard, why does the type argument of the implicit instance matter? Is this a compiler bug or just a "sharp edge" in the specification (perhaps even reasonable or necessary).
I know the solution (or workaround). I am just seeking an explanation.
Thanks,
- Tim

I found a bug evaluation (6358084) that was closed as not a bug where
the evaluator wrote:
All members, regardless of their dependence of type parameters, are erased.
So the compiler is correct, the method call is unchecked.
Still, I am ignorant of the reasoning for independent or fully described types.

ALarm clock and sleep behavior

I am using Alarm Clock 2.3.8 with my G5, which wakes the computer up at a specified time and plays music to wake me up, but one issue I noticed on testing it. I have a password set to wake the computer from sleep and screen saver, and when the computer wakes up, if the password is not entered within about a minute, the computer goes back to sleep, which I know is a normal behavior, but in this application is kind of annoying. But also, when this happens, it effectively puts Alarm Clock in snooze mode so the G5 wakes back up a few minutes later and continues like this.
Is there any way to change the sleep parameters so that it won't go back to sleep if the password is not entered on wake?
G5 Dual 2 GHz and iBook G4 14-inch 1 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

LOL. You could buy an alarm clock.
While waking to music may be nice, I find the alarm function of my Nokia phone to be the absolute best alarm clock I've ever used: it starts out at a low volume and then quickly escalates to an ear-splitting level that I find impossible to sleep through. It also has a snooze function, though the alarm is so effective that it wakes me from even the deepest sleep.
Most cell phones have alarm features, so you may want to try that if you have a mobile and want to eschew an alarm clock.
Good luck!

Odd RV042 behavior can someone help shed some light?

We have a group of 4 x RV042 routers linking the 3 branch offices back to the head office via VPN site to site tunnels. Also each of the sites has dual ISP connection, one from a cable provider and the other a DSL connection operating in smart link backup mode with tunnels configured for when each wan is active. In the past week one of the branch offices RV042 started failing over to the secondary DSL WAN link when the primary cable ISP WAN IP was expired and was being refreshed.
The odd behavior starts a few hours after the switch over, the system log reports that the router restarted but with no error reported and it shows the date being December 31 2002 beginning with a System Up message then the firmware message which is at 1.3.12.19 and establishes a connection with the primary WAN at this point I can ping the public IP but I cannot connect to the router nor can the users at the branch browse the web or establish VPN connectivity to the main office. This condition persists until the router is physically powered down and back on at which time it shows the correct date and time and all operations work well for the day. I must note the behavior seems to only occur between 5am - 7am so I want to believe that this behavior is tied to the ISP IP lease cycle, but it only affects one branch office with all offices using identical ISP's, setup and configuration.
Can someone help make sense of this situation as rebooting the router each day is becoming annoying?

Hi Garth,
Thank you for posting. I wish I had a brilliant explanation for you that would immediately solve the problem. Unfortunately I have not seen this before. There is a possibility that the configuration file is corrupt or has been changed inadvertently. I think I would set the router to factory defaults and manually reconfigure it. There is also the option of swapping the router for another. If the other router does the same thing it could point to an environmental issue. If this router does the same thing at the alternate location it could point to either a configuration or hardware issue.

Odd Gvim behavior in Fluxbox

I just started using gvim recently, and while it's a great editor, it has some weird resizing behavior. I'm not quite sure if it is gvim or fluxbox that is responsible, so I was wondering if anybody could help me stop it. Here's what happens:
I start Gvim and it looks like this. The dimensions of this window are set by fluxbox, previously I resized it to the size I wanted it and selected remember -> dimensions from the rightclick menue of its title bar. Notice where the bottom edge of the window is.
[URL=http://img236.imageshack.us/my.php?image=200607211843471280x1024scrottp6.png][/URL]
Then, when I open a newtab(:tabnew), this happens:
[URL=http://img233.imageshack.us/my.php?image=200607211844081280x1024scrotov2.png][/URL]
The bottom edge of the window jumps down, so it sits on top of the panel. Then, if I close the tab (:q) this happens:
[URL=http://img205.imageshack.us/my.php?image=200607211844251280x1024scrotch0.png][/URL]
It jumps way up! Anybody seen this before?

Safari Odd Font Behavior

Hi, shortly before Christmas we replaced our old eMac with a new iMac running Leopard version 10.5.1 and Safari version 3.0.4. A couple of days ago, my wife installed some new software (Rosetta Stone, which is language learning software) and, since that installation, is reporting strange font behavior in Safari. Specifically, the spacing appears odd and letters appear to be overlapping where they shouldn't be.
Based on her description, I am suspecting there is a font conflict somewhere Rosetta Stone installed some fonts that are not playing nicely with Safari but, as I am still running Tiger and am 8,000 miles from home right now, I'm not in a position to tinker around in search of a solution. Any ideas/suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks.

Hi
I'm not familiar with Rosetta Stone, however, he two fonts that seem to adversely affect Safari are Helvetica Fractions and Times Phonetic.
Have your wife open Font Book in your Applications folder. Enter either of these names in the spotlight panel. If either appears, disable it via the Edit menu.
If the above referenced fonts applies to your situation, download a copy of Nuke Font. This will allow her to clean the Font cache.
When done, restart the computer/Safari.

Odd trackpad behavior, opens Command+ F in any program.

I have an odd behavior on my Mac that's starting to get pretty annoying.
I have a late 2009 model. If I am in say Safari, and I wiggle my finger near the bottom of the track pad, (wiggling up and down on the bottom center edge of the trackpad) it opens up the search bar for Safari.
Basically Command+F.
If I am on the desktop (Finder) and do the same action it opens Command+ F once again, this time just in Finder.
In iTunes, the same motion on the trackpad puts me in full screen, which is, you guess it. Command+ F.
I have tried to get rid of this behavior by terminal commands killall Finder, killall Dock, and also by moving the user/library/preferences folder contents to the desktop, so that programs rewrite their preferences, but everything still has the same behavior.
Any ideas?
- Pixel -

Never heard of anything like it, frankly. Run the Apple Hardware Test you'll find on one of the DVDs that came with your MBP, and make an exact note of any errors it reports. Then make a Genius Bar appointment at an Apple Store and demonstrate the problem to the Genius. Also show the Genius the text of the error report (if there was one).

Odd chown behavior

Hi, I'm logged in as root (actually, sudo'd to root) and I can chown a file without problems. But when I issue the same chown command from within a schedule, such as a script in cron, or a simple command within an "at" job, the chown does not work. Any ideas what's going on? Here's an example transcript:
fuji:Documents root# uname -a
Darwin fuji.allegro.com 10.3.0 Darwin Kernel Version 10.3.0: Fri Feb 26 11:58:09 PST 2010; root:xnu-1504.3.12~1/RELEASE_I386 i386

fuji:Documents root# sleep 60
fuji:Documents root# ls -al foo

So I've clearly demonstrated that interactively I can chown the file and it works. But then when I try to chown the file in the "at" job it fails. What's going on?
Thanks,
B.

You learn something new every day...
First of all BobHarris, thanks for your suggestion. FYI, the documented behavior of "at" jobs is to duplicate the current environment upon execution, including the user. So any "at" job executed by root will always run as root. However, your suggestion of echoing data to a tmp file helped me find the real problem with my "at" jobs:
The problem, in the case of my example, wasn't that chown didn't work, or that the "at" job may have logged in as some user other than root, as the other poster suggested. Instead I discovered that Apple, in its infinite wisdom, ships the "atrun" utility, which executes "at" jobs, in a disabled state by default. So NO "at" jobs would ever run!!! And using the "atq" command I found all of my "at" jobs still queued up. Thanks Apple!!! The solution, according to "man atrun" is to execute the following command:
launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.atrun.plist
So now the "at" jobs are running, and chown is behaving... in "at" jobs, it seems.
HOWEVER, I also have a cron job scheduled in root's crontab which copies a tarball from an NFS mount, untars the files locally, and chowns them. That chown still does not work, but I've confirmed that the copy and untar operations ARE working, so I still have a mystery on my hands. I was merely using "at" as a way to test scheduled jobs without having to continually modify my crontab. Unfortunately, it would seem that "at" jobs behave differently from cron jobs.

Odd sleep after 10.5.5 update

I have noticed some strange behavior from time to time after applying the combo update to two MBP's.
You put it to sleep, and shut the lid. If you raise the lid shortly thereafter (meaning your computer should awake), everything you hear indicates the computer is awake, but the screen is dark. You have to hard power off and power up and then things are fine..

Sorry that I do not remember where I saw this, could be MacFixIt, but the advice that I saw for issues with the 10.5.7 delta that comes through Software Update for folks with 10.5.6, was to download and overlay the 10.5.7 Combo as Carolyn has suggested, and then to download and install the most recent beta for Safari 4.
Of course this is best done without multitasking while the installations are happening, as well as unplugging and shutting down all other processes; external attachments and even Bluetooth and Air Port. Prepare for the installs by rebooting to your Install DVD and use Disk Utility in the Utilities Menu to verify and repair any issues with your boot volume, followed by rebooting into your account and using DU in Apps/Utilities to Repair Disk Permissions before and after the installs.
