Odd Timer Behavior

Hi,
I was working on an AIR application today and noticed some odd behavior with the Timer class. To isolate the problem, I created a stripped down file that contained only a simple timer and the problem persisted. In a nutshell a timer calls a function 5x that traces "tick" does the following: The first 2 times the function is called the trace appears as expected but then a delay ensues, perhaps 8 seconds, and then the last three traces ("ticks") appear together. If I make it a flash file, it works as expected-- all ticks appear 1 second apart.
I was doing some work in JAVA recently on the same system, and wonder if something I did there (e.g. installing the SDK) may be interfering with the AIR Debug Launcher.
Any ideas will be appreciated.
Best,
C.S.

Hi,
More testing seems to indicate that the timer is working but that the output (trace) is being delayed. Has anyone run into problems with the output window not showing traces relative to a Timer?

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.

At odd times I will get a second instance of Firefox startup. I have run avast av, spybot, malwarebytes, both in normal and safe mode and nothing has been found, any ideas?

Strange Run-time behavior of message mapping

Dear All,
This is very urgent
I have 2 step mapping in my synchronous(ABAP proxy to HTTP_AAE) interface, first step is graphical mapping and second step is java mapping. After both the mapping I am able to get my desired structure by bank(third party), below is what I am getting in testing tab in Operation mapping after 2 step mapping, which is expected.
strXmldata=<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><PaymentInfoMessage><PaymentInfoRequest><CompanyCode>TEST</CompanyCode><BankCode>RIBLSARI</BankCode><StartDate>2014-01-21T00:00:00</StartDate><EndDate>2014-01-21T00:00:00</EndDate><TransactionType>940</TransactionType></PaymentInfoRequest></PaymentInfoMessage>
However, bank is receiving in reverse, I mean the string strXmldata is coming at last. see the below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><PaymentInfoMessage><PaymentInfoRequest><CompanyCode>TEST</CompanyCode><BankCode>RIBLSARI</BankCode><StartDate>2014-01-21T00:00:00</StartDate><EndDate>2014-01-21T00:00:00</EndDate><TransactionType>940</TransactionType></PaymentInfoRequest></PaymentInfoMessage>=strXmldata
When I check the trace in SXMB_MONI in the pipelines trace under "request message mapping" it has been reversed by system at runtime.
<Trace level="2" type="T">Call method execute of the application Java mapping com.sap.xi.tf._MM_Request_MT940_</Trace>
<Trace level="1" type="T">*** START APPLICATION TRACE ***</Trace>

Could anyone please let me know why this reversing and putting the string strXmldata at last.
Please this is very urgent, please help me as soon as you can.
Thanks,

Hi Farhan,
The issue is because of run time behavior but you can try to deploy the java or XSLT map in server and use in receiver adapter (as adapter module).

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?????

Printer Agents stopping at odd times

Hi,
Migrated iPrint from NW 6.5 to OES Linux Sp2 Cluster. It was running
fine for 2 days, than it started to stop working at odd times.
PrintManager is still running, but all the Agents are stopped. In the
Log File the following Message appears:
WARNING The iPrint Manager failed to establish a context handle
with DS server.
After Restarting the PM it runs fine again - for a couple hours... It
probably has something to do with a PrintServer that makes troubles
too.
Anyone experienced the same or knows about the Error?

Hi, just wanted to report back, that the problem is fixed.
Had nothing to do with the iPrint or Cluster enabled resource - just
was a very old Printer, that caused the troubles by trying to access
that very old Printerbox. It's running fine since that is deleted out
of iPrint PM.

Apps asking for keychain at odd times

First, I've run Keychain first aid and restored from a pristine backup.
Here's my problem: Applications are asking for passwords at odd times. My email program will be chugging along just fine and then for no apparent reason begin asking for admin permission to retrieve mail. Not the isp password, the admin password. Safari will be working fine and then suddenly ask for the system password to access a page that may have been visited minutes before without needing a password.
The problem began with the 10.5.4 update.
My Keychain access shows the following:
Login
jimhall
Symantec
System
jimhall
system roots
I run under admin privileges as this is a standalone machine, not on a network
Anyone know how I can put an end to this frustrating problem?

I removed it permanently. Feel your pain about symantec, but I've got to have it, and I've gotten used to the occasional problem it causes.
I tested the keychain and found that both of the identically named chains updated themselves at the same time. I also backup hourly so I'm safe if anything needs to be replaced. Knowing that, I deleted one of them.
Of course, the problem has been intermittent, so we'll have to wait and see if and when it happens again. One way or the other I'll post back the results. So far though, so good.

Odd Time Capsule behavior

My time capsule was working fine since I set it up in late June. I then returned from a month in Europe (sorry for whining after a month in Europe). I don't know when the strange behavior began precisely. I do know that I saw the desktop icon many times and even saw backups made of August and I think even September.
Now, however, I cannot get my time capsule to work. It shows the last backup as July 7, which is not accurate--I know of August and possibly September backups. And it simply tries to connect "preparing" on the blue activity bar.
The only thing I can think of is a password issue. I don't recall ever setting a password for time capsule but perhaps I'm loosing it. Should I just reset the time capsule (hard reset) and see if it asks me to set up a new password? I occasionally get a message asking for a password and every password I put in that I think could possibly be mine gets kicked back. (BTW, since the first or second time time capsule worked, I have used it only wirelessly. If I hard reset I would probably connect it with hard wire connection.
Context: I'm new to Mac. I was a 20-plus year wintel user until June, 2008.

First, let's find out why it's stuck "Preparing...". So consider the causes I noted in the previous post.
The only thing I can think of is a password issue. I don't recall ever setting a password for time >capsule but perhaps I'm loosing it. Should I just reset the time capsule (hard reset) and see if it asks me to set up a new password?
Again, if the TCs light shows green, then you shouldn't need to reset it.
I occasionally get a message asking for a password and every password I put in that I think could possibly be mine gets kicked back.
It will be important to know what is going on, or what you are doing when it asks for the password. Is it asking for a password only when Time Machine attempts a backup? Consider this:
Launch Airport Utility --> Manual Setup --> Time Capsule tab.
For "Time Capsule password" are there black dots where you would type a password? If so do you remember what you put there? If you don't then enter a new password.
Next, is there a check mark beside "Remember this password in my Keychain"? If not, you will always be asked for a password any time the Time capsule is accessed. Put a check mark there.
Also, click on "Disks" in the tool bar above.
Click "File Sharing" tab.
What is selected beside "Secure Shared Disks"? If it says "With Accounts" or "With a Disk Password" then the system will ask you for a password every time it mounts the TC hard disk. If you switch it to "With Time Capsule Password" then use the password you designated a moment ago in the Time Capsule" tab. It should only ask you once and then never again - because you had checked "Remember in keychain".
If you have made any changes then click "Update".
BTW, since the first or second time time capsule worked, I have used it only wirelessly. If I hard reset I would probably connect it with hard wire connection.
Doing a hard reset, will not erase the hard drive, so you data will still be there. You won't need to connect it directly to your Mac unless you want to start over and do another full backup.
Let us know if any of this helps

New hard drive - odd Time Machine behavior

Hi,
I just had my failing HD replaced in my Macbook Pro 17" - The tech. that did it restored from the last good Time Machinr backup to the new HD, and everyrhing seems to work fine. So I then tried to do a full backup of the new HD to a brand new external HD. The first time it stopped about half way through, and yet when I enter Time Machine on the Mac, all the files seem to be there. Then I added a few new photo files, and am now doing another Time Machine backup. But it says it's now backing up 102.95 Gigs (total on HD is 292.07 Gigs). The Time Machine preference pane doesn't seem to recognize the earlier backup (see screenshot) and yet when I enter Time Machine, it's apparently all there. How can I tell if it's working correctly?
Thanks,
Richard

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Select "system.log" from the file list. Enter "backupd" (without the quotes) in the String Matching text field. Post the messages from the last backup, beginning with "Starting standard backup."
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Do not post many repetitions of the same message.
Some personal information, such as the names of your files, may be included — edit that out, too, but don’t remove the context.

Odd Time Machine Behavior Since Mountain Lion Installed

I have used Time Machine to back up to a three-month-old Time Capsule (named 2012 TC) without problems until I updated my iMac to Mountain Lion.
Now, when I awaken my computer from sleep I often (not always) receive an alert window which says:
“Time Machine couldn’t complete the backup to ‘2012 TC’.”
The alert window then goes on to say:
“The backup disk is not in the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format, which is required’.”
and
“Open Time Machine preferences to select a different backup disk.”
And then offers a button to “Open Time Machine Preferences.”
The alert window goes away after some seconds, and if I restart Time Machine backup it seems to work OK. I do seem to be getting proper backups.
This did not occur with Lion, and has only happened since my upgrade to Mountain Lion (including its latest upgrade OS 10.8.1). My Time Capsule is in exactly the same format as before, which was set automatically when I connected it to Time Machine months ago.
What’s going on? Is there a problem? Is there something I should do to fix this?

I have the same problem too and have provided feedback to Apple so hopefully they can fix the bug. I suggest you add your voice too:

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.

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?
