Problem with mdworker process, mac slowdowns

Hello. I have been having slowdowns of my mac without a reason.
The problem that seems to be responsible is mdworker, as in the console about the only messages i get are phrased like this:
"07/12/14 16:26:06,000 kernel[0]: Sandbox: mdworker(20160) deny mach-lookup com.apple.audio.audiohald"
I have about 5 or 6 of these per second, practically filling up the whole console.
I have no audio apps running in the background, no external soundcard plugged in, nothing. Basically the computer is idling and still presenting all these problems.
Sometimes a couple of these messages pop up:
"07/12/14 16:27:59,973 sandboxd[972]: ([20160]) mdworker(20160) deny mach-lookup com.apple.audio.audiohald (pre-plugin fstype:hfs fsflag:480D000 flags:240000005E diag:0 isXCode:0 uti:public.data plugin:internalPlainTextImporter - find suspect file using: sudo mdutil -t 2483218)"
Doing sudo mdutil -t 2483218 in the terminal returns this string:
/Users/Polygon/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/QuotaManager
which is weird because i killed all chrome-related processes in Activity Monitor before.
Any of you have any idea what could cause this?
Thanks,
Luke

Problem with facetime for mac

hello guy! I've got a problem with facetime for mac.My sister has a I-pod touch fourth generation with factime but i cna't phone her a message come on my mac.It say "xxx can't receive facetime's calls"!Can you help me??

Thanks, Dah•veed.
I did see mention of using Google Public DNS while I was searching the forums prior to posting, but to be honest didn't think it was a DNS-related problem.
However, to rule it out I've set the prefered DNS servers on my router to Google's, but FaceTime still disconnects after 4-5 seconds when calling between me and my brother-in-law. It doesn't matter who initiates the call.
As a test, before I made the changes to my router, I logged into FaceTime as him on my MBP and tried calling myself on my iMac, and that was successful.
The same test between the two iMacs when they were here was unsuccessful, so now I'm definitely thinking it's something on the '08 iMac.
Now I just need to figure out what...

Problem with Twitter for Mac notifications

Hello,
I have a strange problem with Twitter for Mac. On both my home and office Macs. New posts appear in app window but there aren't any notifications even though notifications are set in preferences to show in both dock and menubar. Perhaps anyone noticed similar strange behaviour? I didn't find anything similar on Twitter forums.
Thanks in advance.

go to Terminal and post this:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/support/lsregister -kill -seed
if it doesn't have that specific directory try this:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -seed
once the scanning is done (can be short or long, depends on how heavy your system is) RESTART the computer.
when you're back, go to Apple>system preferences>extensions.... guess who's there.
I hope it helped.

For starters, make sure to Check for Updates on any of the Help menus, and make sure the product has all the latest patches. MS did come out with a patch addressing the display issues on Retina Macs. Latest patchlevel is 14.3.2.

Problem with XSQLRequest.process

Problem with XSQLRequest.process:
I'm trying to run XSQL files using XSQLRequest.process. I'm working on the chapter 3 examples in Muench's book and got FAQXML.xsql running okay but have had problems with: FAQhtml.xsql BTW I am calling them from a different directory and am using 9iAS under win2K SP3.:
I've fixed errors such as:
End tag does not match start tag 'img'.
by adding </img>
and:
End tag does not match start tag 'META'.
by removing the <head> section from the xsl.
But now i've got:
XML parse error at line 2, char 1
Expected 'EOF'.
and don't have a clue.
Some questions I have are:
--Why don't I get these errors when I run the same files from Internet Explorer?
--Where is the intermediate XML file?
--How will I get HTML output?
I'd appreciate any help you could suggest.
Peter.
Here is the .xsql and some of the .xsl:
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="http://localhost/ch03/FAQ-In-HTML.xsl"?>
<xsql:include-xsql href="FAQ.xsql" xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql"/>

etc...

XSQL version is 1.0.2.0.
Well, in answer to your import question, yes. Xerces can import Xerces documents properly. Thus if we use Xerces importNode on a document parsed/created using Xerces' DOM implementation, the attribute values stay.
We are using Xerces because it is the foundation of our infrastructure layer (which is partly because it's used in Catalina).
Question. Is it possible that XSQLParserHelper which, as you say, uses an instance of oracle.xml.parser.v2.DOMParser to parse the document, is having trouble with different versions of DOM? I ask because we've noticed that to use Catalina and have its class loader to function successfully, we had strip all the DOM classes from xmlparserv2.jar
importNode snippit ...
public void service(CioServletRequest req, CioServletResponse resp) throws ServletException {
DomResponse respm = resp.createDomResponse();
Document dbdoc = respm.getDocument();
XSQLRequest req = new XSQLRequest( pageUrl );
ByteArrayOutputStream ostream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
req.process(params, ostream, new PrintWriter(System.err));
String s = new String(ostream.toByteArray());
Document retDoc = respm.parseDocument(s);
dbdoc.appendChild(dbdoc.importNode(retDoc.getDocumentElement(), true));
Hope this helps.

Problem with a process chain transport

Hi all,
I have a problem with a process chain transport, I transport it but when I see the changes in testing environment I dont see it, I did it four times but nothing happen and I dont have errors.
Can anybody tell me how to transport a process chain.
Thanks.

Hi Federico,
When you tranport Process Chains, initially chains will be available under "Not Asigned" node in RSPC Transaction. The transported chains wont be get highlighted automatically. Manually need to open the chain in update mode and activate it on Quality.
Hope it will help you to resolve the problem.

I just heard a news report that there is a problem with malware in mac computers that came through a recent java update. Is this true? If so, what should be done about it?

I just heard a news report that there is a problem with malware in mac computers that came through a recent java update. Is this true? If so, what should be done about it?

As usual those "news" reports mangled the facts and got most of the story completely wrong. This particular attack did not arise through a Java update, it was distributed through a fraudulent Flash download popup window, or malicious websites that Safari is designed to block.
If you run Java on your Mac you may be vulnerable to this malware. If you do not run Java there is no risk. If you routinely keep your Mac up to date with Software Update the risk is greatly reduced.
Shut off the mass market junk that masquerades as "news" and read this to learn some real facts:

Is Anyone else having problems with their I MAC 24" Foggy display?

Is anyone else having problems with their I MAC 24" having a foggy display in lower right hand corner after the computer has been on for 30 or 45 min? This is now the 2nd computer that has this same problem. Just wondering if anyone else is having this issue with the IMAC 24"? Does anyone know what might be the cause? I have only had the computer for a month. Thanks very much.

Thank you for the nice welcome.

Its seems that I am not alone in my problem but I do have good news to report that apple support has acknowledged the issue is happening and a fix is in the works. The support and assistance I received today helped greatly to restore my faith in apple product satisfaction.
Lets hope you don't have this experience in the future, hopefully a solution can be reached that is in everyone best interest. I may have to drive a greater distance to another apple store but for myself and others like me feel its worth the extra effort to get better customer service in the long run.

Problems with DPS on Mac OS 10.8.2

Hi,
Two of my students (Digital Publishing at SintLucas Eindhoven, Netherlands) are having problems with their Folio Overlays and Folio Builder. They are working on Mac OS 10.8.2 and the Folio Overlays panel is there, but just doesn't work.
In the Folio Builder there is a message "you do not have a compatible digital publishing plug-in" with a download link. They have downloaded an installed this and the Application Manager says everything is up-to-date, but the Folio Overlays panel still doesn't work and the Folio Builder still has the same message.
Does anybody have a solution for this problem?

Problems with wrt610n and mac mini (MA206LL/A*)

i purchased a new wrt610n and one of the machines that is connected is a mac mini, 1.66 ghz intel core duo.
#ma2066/ll/a for those who want to compare notes. the computer is stock with the 802.11g wireless card
that came with the machine. it is running the current software and all the updates are up to date.
i am using wpa 2 personal w / aes
their is some kind of incompatibility or issue between the wrt610n and the mac mini.
either using the wireless connection OR connected directly to the router, web pages are very slow to load. sometimes it can take
up to 45 seconds for the mac mini to open up a webpage. for 45 seconds it is at 'contacting website'
when i try to run software update, i get a time out error -1001, make sure you can connect to the internet and try again.
hulu desktop is also running slow.
copying a file from the mac mini to a another computer over wifi averages about 1 mb/s
when i informed linksys about this problem, they took my phone number and said that a linksys technician / senior tech support employee
would call me back. that was a day or so ago. i asked if i can have any newer firmware, considering the latest is 5 months old.
i am considering returning this router, but i don't see a lot of good alternatives that have similar features. i have 21 days to return this. the restocking fee will be 15% i am also considering various 802.11n solutions for the mac mini, even including the dell 1500 wireless mini card, i heard it works as an airport card.
if i do get a different model router i would like external antennas.
my previous router was a 5 year old wrt54gs version 2.0, and it never had a problem with any of the computers with the network.
the trouble shooting steps involved changing the beacon to 75 and the mtu to something else, i forgot. it did not make a difference.
i moved the mini and connected it wired to the wrt610 and turned off the airport wireless card and there was no improvement.
when i disconnected the wrt610n and connected the mac mini directly to my dsl modem. the issues were suddenly gone.
theres some kind of problem with this particular unit. and i would like to hear from others who have solved this or are experiencing
the same probem

Is anyone else having problems with Office for Mac and Lion?

Since installing Lion 10.7.1 on a macbook pro 2.53 Ghz 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 I have had no end of problems. Both Excel and Word hang, crash and saving an Excel file is a pain. A 12mb spread sheet just took 4 minutes to save! I have MS Office for Mac 2011 version 14.1.3.
Another problem that may not be related to Office is that opening Finder is so slow and most of the time it takes a minute to display folders in Desktop or Documents.
Any suggestions would be welcome .. I regret installing Lion .. I had no problems with Snow Leopard!

Problems with AEBS recognising MAC OS Extended USB hard drive

I've just bought the AEBS(n) and connected a hard drive via the usb port. Everything works fine - however when I get info it shows that the format is Appleshare! The hard drive is actually formatted as a MAC OS Extended (journaled) as this is confirmed if I connect the drive directly to my iMac.
Although this may not seem to be a problem as I can read and write to the disk, if I use iMovie it does not recognise the disk and therefore not show my iMovie events, even though there are on the drive and states that i must have a MAC OS extended drive.
I don't know how to ensure that AEBS shows the correct format of the drive so I won't have this problem?
The other thing is that when I use the Aiport Disk Utility it does not show the name of my hard drive in the window, instead the name of the AEBS shows!!??

I think there are a number of problems with the AEBS USB disk support.
- I have a 1 GB flash drive (solid state) that works fine on the AEBS.
- however I also have a 75 GB 2.5 inch Hitachi external USB drive that works fine on all my macs but can not connect to the AEBS. After talking to Apple there seems to be a list of 'supported drives' for AEBS USB drives but I've never seen it and nobody at Apple has it (or at least could send it to me).
- my AEBS has crashed several times when I hook up the Hitachi drive, forcing me to attach the drive to a mac and run disk utility for a disk repair (I guess the AEBS has no disk repair function).
- and it is slooowwww ....
- if you use a USB hub there seems to be a lot more issues -- especially if the hub is USB 1.1 and not USB 2.0.
maybe there will be a firmware update. I know I have filed Radar problems on all these issues....
