Permissions fix for secure.log and iTunes frameworks

Aperture 1.5
PBG4 showed minor to considerable performance improvements. Once my main library finished running on the Quad, with 6600 traction engine, I started to do some real work.
The following is in Project View on some images with patches/healing and straighten applied.
IT WAS UGLY. SBOD every time I touched anything (yes, all previews completed). 45 secs to open the first image (8Mb RAW from Canon 20d). 5-6 secs. for any touch on Levels or Exposure. IMPOSSIBLE.
Switched off and reduced res. of JPG's in Preferences. No difference.
BTW Apple Devt. Spank time> There is NO way to turn off Preview creation and run as batch later that I can see. Please fix. Agreed they render in background but why not wait until you leave focus on that image .... it's recreating a preview after every adjustment I make. C'mon guys, get real, that should be fixed asap.
Quit Aperture, restarted. Just as bad. Aperture is the only app. running, and Activity Monitor shows 319% CPU with 480Mb RAM just with a Levels change ... sounds high. 6-7 sec. response time for anything I do and 20-40 secs for image rendering, except adjacent images. Quit Aperture.
Decided to run Repair Permissions (RAID = 0 drive). Fixed iTunes frameworks and secure.log. I believe secure.log to be the culprit.
Restarted Aperture and performance improvements obvious. Sliders now work real-time and image rendering a couple of seconds. Reapplied Preferences setting for Previews and no significant performance degradation (though it is interesting watching the task list pause the preview generation when you make further edits.)

It sounds like you should just turn off Maintain Previews for the project you are on (selct prj and change state in top level gear menu in prj pane) - then make your adjustments ( your previews won't be up to date then of course) but the when you are ready to make into previews just select all the images and choose Update Preview manually from the context menu.

Auto-proxy via file broken? Fix for crashing Tweetie and iTunes

After upgrading to 10.6, Tweetie and iTunes would crash on launch.
I was using a proxy.pac file to automatically set up a proxy when I'm at home (I've got Squid running on my file server). Disabling this (System Preferences > Network > Advanced > Proxies > Automatic Proxy Configuration) made them work again.
I noticed slowdowns with Firefox and Thunderbird as well, hopefully disabling the proxy will fix that issue as well.
Here's my proxy.pac file:
function FindProxyForURL( url, host ) {
if( shExpMatch( host, "*.local" ) ) {
return "DIRECT";
} else if( url.substring( 0, 6 ) == "https:" ) {
return "DIRECT";
} else if( isInNet( myIpAddress(), "10.0.0.0", "255.255.255.0" ) ) {
return "PROXY10.0.0.12:3128";
} else if( isInNet( myIpAddress(), "192.168.0.0", "255.255.0.0" ) ) {
// It's there somewhere..."
return "DIRECT";
return "DIRECT";
}

Thanks for the thoughts.
I'll look through both your suggestions. It's not really what I'd call a split library, as the /media/music/... folder structure contains both the music files themselves and the iTunes Library folder.
If the folder with the library files (normally iTunes) contains the designated media folder (normally iTunes Media) which in turn contains all media, including any iOS apps and clickwheel games, in any structure you like, then the library is portable. If it doesn't meet the criteria then it is split. Portability comes from the relative relationship between library location and media folder location. iTunes will adjust for a similar change in the root path to both that happens simultaneously, but otherwise expects media to remain on exactly the same path each time it runs.
In context it would seem as if /media is your current media folder in which case moving the library files (see the tip) up to the root of the drive would make the library portable, if not consistent with the common names for the folders. Having accessed the library database at /iTunes Library.itl you should find that you can now close iTunes, change /media to /iTunes Media and reopen without breaking the library. You should then be able to close iTunes, create a new empty folder /iTunes, move the library files and media folder inside /iTunes and access the library at /iTunes/iTunes Library.itl. This would now be a completely portable library with standard names for the principal folders.
iTunes for Windows doesn't provide access to the last known path of missing files so it isn't possible to use a simple string replacement technique to fix things up. If you were to use my script you'd probably need to run it against the media folders; Artists, Pop, Rock, etc. in turn, looking for the content located within each.

Permissions for secure.log

Every time I repair permissions, there's one item that always needs its permissions repaired, the secure.log. I understand that its permissions are changed by some maintenance script, and the whole issue should be harmless. But what I don't understand is why doesn't that same maintenance script reinstate the original permissions after it has run. Or else, why doesn't Disk Utility just let them be?
We now have a situation where the secure.log has certain permissions. Some OSX-native software (maintenance script) changes them, and another OSX-native software (Disk Utility) thinks that's wrong and changes them back. The next time the maintenance script runs, it changes them again, which Disk Utility again thinks is wrong, and so on in a perpetual cycle. It seems pretty pointless to me. It also seems like an easy thing to "correct". It's not like it's a malfunctioning third party software involved.
Is there some obscure technical reason for why this is so?

See toward the end of this User Tip for an explanation:
Spurious Permission errors in OS X 10.4.
The weekly maintenance script is ever so slightly more permissive in that it allows group read access. If you're at all worried you can change the script, but it really isn't worth it.
Is there some obscure technical reason for why this is so?
Basically it was low in the list of changes, I assume.
It was still there in early releases of 10.5, but appears now to be gone in 10.5.7. I know it was still there last February.

Updated Security, safari and iTunes 9....But scanner out of servise

Hi paleitz, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, or things don't load/run, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates again, or even do an A&I if you have enough free disk space.
I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.
If it appears to be time for An Archive & Install, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
Be sure to use Preserve Users & Settings.

The dropDown was not receiving changes to styles nor dataproviders. This was a result of not recreating the dropDown each time it was shown.

THank you , Nancy. Appreciate the input.
So instead of this:
<a class="brand" href="index.html"><img src="../img/logo-ca.png"alt="Consumers Advocate Review"> </a>
Would it be something like this?:
<a class="brand" href="index.html"><img src="http://ConsumersAdvocate/img/logo-ca.png"alt="Consumers Advocate Review"> </a>
And if I do that, is there a way to cope with that locally so that DW can still display the images?

Possible fix for errors 11503 and 50

Here's a possible fix for Error 11503 and for error 50.
It worked for me and hopefully it will work for you.
I believe this error is caused by the incomplete downloading of either an update to an app. In my case it was caused by closing the lid on my laptop when I was downloading app updates on a very slow internet connection in a hotel.
Anyway, here is what I did that fixed it completely.
Close iTunes.
Go to this folder : /iTunes/Mobile Applications/Downloads
You'll find tmp files there. Drag them out of this folder to a temporary folder on your desktop. The Downloads folder should now be empty.
Restart iTunes.
All should be fine.
If it is, delete the desktop folder with all the temp files.
If it's not, then I can't help further, but that's what worked for me.

Several possible causes from the info you gave
Battery level low - recharge it for at least 4 hours till the full charge sign displays (2 prong icon instead of lightning icon).
Time to Reset the iPod - Press the Menu and center Button for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON, then let go of the buttons.
your hardisk is starting to give problems, hence the skipping and some song refuse to play. - Do a disk diagnostic - follow this post by tt2.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17028567#17028567
If you have updated any sofware application in Windows, then follow this Apple support procedure
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1539
Most likely you have to do all, as the iPod hardisk filesystem would have been corrupted, or else the iPod Reset would bring it to normal operation.
Good Luck!

Is there a fix for security warning:

Is there a fix for security warning: the document is trying to connect to file:/index.cfm?event=Vendorsonly.submiteventform---trust choose allow--no trust choose block. I need a fix for this.

My systems are all running 10.4.9 with all updates.
Here is a link to the article page ... http://www.macworld.com/2007/03/secrets/aprilmac911/index1.php ... the section in question is titled ... "Bug: Firefox security breach".
When I click on the ..."this test page"... link it appears that Safari does in fact have this security problem.
I know I can simply not use the 'User names and passwords' - Autofill feature. But I would like to be able to.
Is there a fix in the works? Or, a work around.
Thanks for the input to date. I should have included the above in the original question.

HT1766 I loaded the software fix for face time and it wiped out my contacts and photos. can I restore them?

I loaded the software fix for face time and in loading the new software I lost all of my other content (WITHOUT ANY WARNING). This included my contacts, photos, music. The music I can restore and losing the contacts is an inconvenience, but losing the photos is devastating.
Any ideas?

What software fix for FaceTime? What software did you apply?
Did you backup your iPhone before you updated it with whatever update you applied as described in HT1766? If so, did you backup to iCloud or iTunes? Either way your data should be restorable from that backup.

My old iphone was replaced today, due to faults. Now it will not allow me to use my credit card account for the appstore and itunes?

My old iphone was replaced today, due to faults. Now it will not allow me to use my credit card account for the appstore and itunes?
Please don't tell me to retry, or re check my information because it is all correct, it basically says u cannot use thi account due to it being connected to another device... which is my old fault iphone, at the apple store.

I have never before heard of cards being locked to a single device... but your case has shown me that it happens.
If I am getting it right you try to log in to your account and it asks for billing information, and when you enter your card details it tells you that the card cannot be used. If that is the case then I'm sorry to say that my only suggestion would be to contact iTunes support directly; the contact form can be found in here: Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us
