Power failure

Hello,
The server on which is installed the database has the HDD in a RAID matrice ( one HDD is mirrored by the second). In present the only backup is an export which is made every night. In the near future this will be by completed with a cold backup.
In case of a power failure all netowork is off so there is no connection to database server. If there is no personal which to stop the database is there a risk of database to be damage when the server is shuting down after a time ( the exisiting UPS have a limited capacity).
Thank you!

Oracle databases are designed to cope with such an event. A graceful shutdown is always the preferred option but if the server was to lose power Oracle will cope and do a crash recovery on startup. However, manual recovery is sometimes necessary in extreme cases.
You really need to get your backup strategy in order just in case things went horribly wrong. Export is NOT a backup strategy.
Also, you may look into using software in conjuction with your UPS. When you lose power the UPS can talk to your servers and instruct them to perform a graceful shutdown after a certain time. Talk to your UPS supplier. They will be able to recommend which software to use and the extra hardware required.

I am using Windows 8.1 i have an External Hard Disk and one drive is now inaccessible due to sudden power failure few days ago. Now it shows "Data error (Cyclic redundancy check)". I want all my important files and Pics. How ?

Hi,
I am using Windows 8.1
I have an External Hard Disk i have partitioned it to 4 parts.
One drive is now inaccessible due to sudden power failure while listening Music from that drive few days ago.
Now it shows "Data error (Cyclic redundancy check)".
I tried all the procedures provided here like
chkdsk /f, diskpart, rescan etc
but no result :( (i mean all processes failed. They could not detect the drive).
Please help me to get those data, pictures and project files.
thank you

I had a power failure 2 days ago, have power now, but cannot send email from my iPad. Everything was fine before that. The box says cannot send mail, the user name or password for Gmail is incorrect. I haven't changed anything. I need help. Thanks

Hi
I had a power failure 2 days ago, my computer is running again, but now I cannot send email from my iPad using Cox or my gmail account. I am receiving mail in my Cox account but not my gmail account.It was working fine until the power failure. It keeps telling me, the user name or password for Gmail is incorrect. I have not changed anything. I don't know what is wrong. Can anyone help me? Thanks

I agree, unplug and replug your router, then reset your iPad by holding down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the red power down slider, and wait til you see the silver apple. let it reboot and then try your connection.
Chances are rebooting the router will help. You may also need to talk to cox. They may need to reset something on their end.

A UPS model that works with Mac Native software to do a graceful shutdown and automatic restart during a power failure.

I've tried 3 UPS's (2 APC and one TripLite) that state they are OSX compatible, however, they do not fully respond to the native osx setting in (system Preferences/ Energy Saver/ UPS/Start up automatically after a power failure). This is what happens:
During a power outage, the OS does a graceful shutdown, but does not reboot when power is restored.
Apparently, the UPS is not notified to turn off during the shut down process. The power (on-Off-On) cycle is required by the mac to restart.
Trip lite tech support says they have software that works with Windows and linux to do this, but not mac.
I've tried two older APC UPS's, One Smart UPS1500 and a Back-UPS 1500 with the same result on two different servers and one iMac.
At this point I'm looking for a make and model of a UPS that does work. If anyone can verify a make and model that actually does this, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Its a simple test, just pull the plug on your UPS, wait for the system to shut down, and then plug the UPS back in. The system should reboot.

Many of the CyberPower UPS units are compatible. Checkout the home solutions on this page: http://www.cyberpowersystems.com/products/ups-systems.html

Unable to register with Genius bar for a 'power failure' repair????

Hi
Does anyone have any suggestions what to do about registering for a repair?
The online system has just been giving me a busy all day.
I need to take my iMac in for the famous power failure repair. Is the best thing to call them in the morning? Any special options I can hit so I don't get through to Apple Care?
Thanks
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
I don't know if you've gotten in yet, but if not the secret is to try to schedule an appointment around midnight. The slots at the Genius Bar fill up quickly and I would find that even if I logged onto my local store's webpage to schedule an appointment at 7:00am, they were already booked. I decided to check it at midnight and I was finally able to make an appointment.
It's ridiculous, I know...and if you mention it, they'll just try to get you to buy ProCare for $99 so you will have access to the calendar to schedule a week out.

Unable to Load Windows 7 after a power failure

My windows 7 workstation was in a sleep mode when a power failure happened. after trying to power up the machine it tries to resume windows session but stucks after displaying an error unable to find saved session. it gives an option to either delete saved
session and boot or locate the session, but none of the periferal devices are responding, so I am unable to select either option.
I have a standard 102 logitech keyboard connected to that workstation. it works wen I select to enter a bios on the start up, but does not respond to any other prompts.
Any advice?

In addition, try to boot into safe mode and check the results.

This device cannot start. (Code 10) Status Device Power Failure for Intel (R) Audio Display

Hi I just bought HP Envy M7 Sleekbook last week and upgraded from 8.0 to 8.1 for Windows 8.
Now I have no sound and this is the error message I get:
This device cannot start. (Code 10) Status Device Power Failure (for Intel (R) Audio Display)
under Sound, Vieo and Game Controllers in the Device Manager.
Anyone else having this issue after upgrading?
Getting a new lappy is stressful enough but to alreay have issues is ridiculous
If the upgrade is not the issue could something have happened in transit? (I have an issue with the way Best Buy packed it for shipment and wonder if it could have been compromised)
Any help is appreciated. Or should Ibe taing this back to best buy and have them address it?
Thanks
Pam

Ahmed, if your HP Envy has an Intel processor chances are it will be necessary to download new drivers for both sound and chipset due to compatibility issues with Windows 8.1. After 4-1/2 hours on the phone with various technical agents and a lot of frustration I finally got one who had the knowledge and training to resolve my issue. I believe he downloaded the new drivers from the HP support site. Good luck!!

Imac will not boot up after power failure

Does anyone know why i have to unplug the power cable from the back of my imac after every power failure at my home to get the imac to boot up. I've tried resetting the surge protecter and unplugging there. However, the only option is to unplug the cord from the back of the monitor/imac before it will boot up. Any ideas or is this a known bug.

You're effectively resetting the SMC.
If you're getting that many power outages you need to be using a UPS (Uninteruptible Power supply), not just a surge protecter.
Power interruptions at the wrong time can cause directory damage or even physical damage to the Hard Drive if the heads were reading or wriing at the time.

IMovie video project I made has no audio working after power failure

I have spent about a week stitching together family movies by ripping them to Apple tv format, then use a software program called MPEG streamclip to create a DV version which take about 24 gb a piece, I put 12 hours worth into iMovie which has taken a ton of space etc. So I created a project and am now about 1h 35 min in and this is getting small 3-5 clips of my son who is 7 months and my wife and myself b/c were going to England on Friday so I was created a nice movie for my new in laws and family I am meeting for the first time. So I had a saved file and iMovie was open and I had a power failure. I opened iMovie freaking out and then saw all the footage and the project still there so I was extremely thankful b/c of the 7 dvds I created due to space limitation once I imported I deleted the original (i have the original dvd but it takes about 6 hours to take from DVD to Apple TV format, then about 2 hours to export to DV and then another 1 hour to import into iMovie so each dvd took a full day for me due to work etc)
Anyway whats now happened is there is no audio on either the project or the original footage that has been imported, again about 12 hours of footage and a project thats 1 hr 35 mins. Whats strange is all other projects and imported video the sound and video works perfect. THis is the only one and of course its the most important one. ANY SUGGESTIONS WILL BE APPRECIATED.
If needed I will start over and do as much as I can but of course I am praying there is a simple solution.
Thanks.
newest iMovie, newest OSX etc if that helps

Thought you could use this info about getting FireWire to work!
First, you should always Repair Permissions in Disk Utility before and after any update; I would do that now. If you installed your update with FireWire plugged in, your Mac may not recognize it anymore.
Try resetting your FireWire ports by disconnecting all FW devices, shut down your Mac and unplug it from AC power (wall socket) for 30 minutes. plug it back in and try FW.
If that did'nt work, first run the Disk Repair as shown in Apple doc.#106214 before the next step. Then, download the combo update from this site (yours may be corrupt), not Software Update, disconnect all firewire + USB devices except keyboard + mouse, Repair Permissions, re-install update, Repair Permissions again + try. Yours is the 10.4.10 Combo update ( PPC, not for Intel systems). Others reading, download the Combo that applies to your system.
If that still did'nt get it Zap the PRAM. While restarting Mac hold down the following key combo Command-Option-P-R. Keep holding those keys down till you hear the second start-up chime, then release.
For those of you with Macs that are not PowerBooks or iBooks, a bad internal battery can cause FireWire to not be recognized, so make sure it's good! Also, here is Apple doc.#88338 on getting FireWire to work.
Cheers!

Vista got corrupt after power failure. sfc reports error and Event log service is unable to start itself.

Hi,
After a sudden power failure, I guess vista file system is corrupt.   I am able to start vista in normal mode, but it seems there are errors like Event Log service unable to start itself, when I start IE, it closes automatically ,
Norton antivirus does not start itself. and so on.
After Bing search, I went to safe mode and executed sfc /scannow and it reported error as below.
"Windows resource protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them"
Unfortunately I am unable to upload log file, so I am pasting CBS.log content here....   Please advice.
Some parts of logs are removed due to limit of 60000 characters.
Please advice.

Hi,
First, I would suggest you using last known good configuration:
Using Last Known Good Configuration
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/using-last-known-good-configuration#1TC=windows-vista
if this cannot bring your Windows Vista back to good state, I suggest you perform in-place upgrade to fix the corrupted files:

After a power failure while iPhoto was running, I get the message "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable" and iPhoto will not open????

After a power failure while iPhoto was running, I get the message "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable" and iPhoto will not open???? held down the option and the command and tried to run what was ticked off and it just sits there with a spinning wheel and does nothing, can I throw the app away and download a new one? or will it still not open?

, can I throw the app away and download a new one? or will it still not open?
You could, but the error message is indicating that your iPhoto library needs repairing.
Check, if iPhoto will run, if you launch it on a new library. Hold down the alt/option key, while you launch iPhoto. Select to create a new library from the panel that will show. Can you create a new library? If yes, try again to fix the library. Which options have you tried from the Library First Aid panel, when you launched iPhoto with the option and command key held down?
If you have not tried "Rebuild"; do that next. But be sure to make a backup of your iPhoto library, before you try this.

I had a power failure and for a number of websites why do I now get the message "This Connection is Untrusted."

After rebooting after the power failure when I go to new websites or even within some websites after clicking on a link the message box appears and I have to add a security exception to get past the message and see the link. I am using V4.0. I do not get that message on another computer using V 3.6.15.
What can I do to reset the browser?

John,
That did it! I no longer get that message. The clock was set to the wrong day and time. So far it is keeping time correctly, but per your suggestion I will also check the battery.
Thanks for the prompt and accurate help.

Problem with iMacs loading web pages slowly after a power failure

We have 3 intel Macs (2 iMacs and a MB) on our network.
Today we had a power failure, and now we are having problems with both iMacs loading some web pages slowly (in Safari and Firefox both). I have shutdown and restarted both iMacs to no avail. As you will notice, I have not experienced any problems with my MB probably because the battery never allowed it to shut down completely.
Can you give me any indication of what the problem is or how I can go about troubleshooting this further?
Thank you in advance.

It does sound like it could be a WiFi issue. You can try rebooting your router and that might help. It just might your Internet connection or the router itself. If the router is bad, you can replace it. If its the Internet connection - you can only do what you ISP allows you to do.

HP PSC2500 All-In-One noise after Power Failure

Product: HP PSC2510 All In One
OS: Windows XP Home
No Error Messages
No Changes made to OS or Printer
The issue:
After a Power Failure, upon starting the printer up, the scanner bar attempts to locate the Home Position but once it gets to the area it is supposed to set at, it continues to move to the right and makes a repeating (gear) noise.
The only fixes I have come across are:
1) Opening the scanner bed (glass top) and cleaning the glass where the white strip runs along the glass.
This stops the noise and allows the scanner to reset corretly for 1 to 3 months.
2) Holding the Cancel button or OK + Cancel.
This allowed the printer to reset correctly 1 time.
Now, the Hard Reset and Semi Reset will not work.
Again, this issue ONLY happens after a power failure or if the plug is pulled...
The issue does not happen if the power is shut off correctly.
I am sure that Opening the top and cleaning the glass will work but this is a serious headache for a printer that cost over $225.
I am a Computer Repair Technician but Printer issues of this nature are not in my area of expertise
Is there anyone who can tell me the possible cause and/or Permanent fix for this issue?
I cannot find any other information about this issue online, and I cannot find a Service Manual.
Please help because this is my work printer.
Please email me at:
{Personal Information Removed}

UPDATE: As it stands, I opened the scanner bed and cleaned the glass Home Position strip (for the 6th time now) and low-and-behold, the printer functions properly again.
I know this issue will happen again in a few weeks to a month or so...
My question still stands...
Can ANYONE come up with a permanent solution to repair this issue?
Thanks again in advance.

Power failure corrupted my Mail program - H E L P !!!

I just went through a power failure. The Mac OS has always survived nicely in the dozens of times I've experienced such things before. However, this time Mail got totally melted.
When relaunching the other programs I was running ( Keynote, Pages, Safari, etc. ), the only thing I lost was any unsaved work in an open file. With Mail, it ate my whole list of e-mail accounts (which I have several).
When I relaunched Mail, it went through the account set-up for my main account. When Mail finally opened, the only account was that one and non of the history of other accounts was anywhere to be found.
Fortunately, I am running +Time Machine+. The big question is, What files do I move where to restore the proper account settings and files for Mail?
(Please only respond if you have THE answer — I'm just a bit panicked at the moment and don't want to screw anything else up trying helpful hints that might make things worse.)

This is not THE answer! But it's a harmless check you can make to ease the panic (I had a problem with upgrade from Tiger to Leopard where all my email accounts and mailboxes were showing fine, but there was nothing in them!).
Go to ~user/Library/Mail, and have a peek into some of your email account folders - assuming they are there of course, which will be your first sigh of relief. Then check out the size of the INBOX.mbox in each account - if all your messages are there, those should all be a reasonable size, depending how many messages you had in them.
Then you can relax a bit. Your messages will be there, it's just a matter of how you get Mail to 'see' them, which is where my expertise runs out, I'm afraid.
