Problems with SCSI-Firewire adapter

Hi- I recently bought a 500 gig hard drive that was apparently not compatible with the ATA card I had in my G4 and it caused both my start-up hard drive and my back-up internal hard drive to crash beyond recovery. I've bought a G5 but now realize that my VERY expensive SCSI drum scanner needs to work on my G4. I had the SCSI cable of the scanner run into a Belkin Firewire to SCSI (part F5U541) and then the firewire ran into my G4. Worked perfectly. I've installed a new hard drive on the G4 and all of the software that I had on it but now (running OS 10.3.9 like before the crash), for some reason, the computer doesn't recognize the scanner. (The driver for the Belkin adapter is only OS 9 and didn't seem to make a difference before.) At the moment the only software I have installed is the scanner software and the OS.
Here's the strange part- when I go into System Profile the computer recognizes that a device is going into the Firewire port. When I start up the scanner software (Color Quartet 5.2.1) it says that the computer does not recognize any devices. This is the strangest part- last week the computer recognized the scanner for about an hour and then stopped.
Does anyone know of drivers or files on the OS X.3.9 that could be causing this problem or what might the problem even be?
I really need to get this scanner back up and working. Any help would be appreciated.
Best,
Joe

Thanks for the input but using the digital camera
isn't really an option. This is an 11,000 dpi drum
scanner with an amazing dynamic range.
wow....If its a ScanView 11000, then it needs SCSI-II, which the 2906 card is not.
Also, Viewscan is not an option because this scanner
And Viewscan doesnt support drum scanners....
Like I said before, I had the scanner working at
10.3.9 at one time. Now that I have a new hard drive
and have installed 10.3.9 the scanner won't
work...does anyone know of what might be the problem?
Does your Belkin adapter require a driver of any sort?
I just did some poking around on colorquartet software.
(at least one version) requires a hardware dongle. Does yours?

Increase the trace level of AFW components to "info" with the Log Configurator J2EE service using VisualAdmin.
When the error happens again, crawl into the most recent DefaultTrace, either by opening the file or by using the more confortable NetWeaver Administrator log viewer (defaulttrace), reachable via browser at http://xiboxhostname:5<sysnr>00/nwa
Good luck.

Minor Problem with MagSafe Power Adapter

I got my MBP almost a year ago now (partially why I'm asking the question) and I've noticed that my power adapter doesn't always show the charge light. Sometimes it is not on at all, and sometimes it is less bright in color (both green and amber).
If I remove it and put it back it usually corrects itself.
It if fully functional; even if the light is completely out and plugged in it still shows as charging.
So, is this normal? I never remember having this sort of problem with my PB G4.

I would think the led light on my adapter cable was broken, but I discovered it works fine on a co-workers MBP. His adapter, which we know works, does NOT work (ie. the led does not come on) when attached to my computer. This indicate to me that the problem, whatever it is, can sometimes be with the computer and not the adapter.
I would be curious if others with apparently dead leds have tried their chargers on other MBPs.
Here's the long version of my story:
My 5W MagSafe completely fried after only 9 months.
The new adapter was fine for several days until this morning.
My "low battery" warning popped up, so so I plugged it in to recharge and immediately noticed the little led on the charger cord did not come on.
I found it hard to believe that I had another bad adapter, so before making the trip back to the store, I went into the studio where there are some other MBP users.
I plugged my adapter into another laptop and the led came on. It appeared to function completely normally. I tried MagSafe adapters from two other MBPs, but the led did not come on on either of them while attached to my computer.
This made me think there was some sort of problem with the connector on the computer itself. Just visually, it appears to be clean and corrosion free.
The next obvious step, it seemed, would have been to try swapping batteries with the other laptops, but mine is a 17" and everyone else here has 15"... and so we have different battery sizes.
One of the people here at the studio had a little utility called "Coconut Battery", that reports information about the battery health. When I ran it on my laptop, I got what I thought were rather surprising results.
It showed the usual things like current charge (21%), battery capacity and so on. But under "Additional Info" it said "Charger connected: Yes" and "Battery is charging: No".
I figured this narrowed it down to a problem with the battery. But as I was showing these results to my co-worker, the "Current Battery Charge" changed from 21 to 22%. Huh? We left it plugged in and it continued to show a steady climb in the charge, as if it is working normally. Except there is no led light, and the software still says it is not charging. Odd.
I then noticed that the built-in battery level indicator on the status bar was also showing the same increases. The led lights on the back of the battery are indicating an increase as well.
Just out of curiosity, I ran a second battery health analyzer program and again got these conflicting results. This one reported the same battery charge and capacity and so on as the previous one. It also recognized that the laptop was running off of AC power, that there was a battery, but it said "Not Chargeable."
So now I am going to let it continue until I have a full charge and then see if the computer will run as usual from the battery.
I don't think the store here is going to give me another adapter since this one appears to work just fine on the other computers.
Any thoughts on why the led would work on other laptops but not mine?
Why the battery health monitors report that the battery is being charged, but also that it is "not chargeable"?

"Performance" problems with the File adapter on Plain J2SE Adapter Engine

Hi,
At the moment I'm on a customer side to solve some XI issues for a few days. One of the issues is the performance of the Plain J2SE Adapter Engine, using the file adapter to transfer XML messages(already XI message format) from the legacy system to the Integration Engine. The File adapter has to deal with "large" XML messages(max at the moment is 65 Mb) and the engine fails with the following error when transferring the big XML file: "ERROR: Finished sending to Integration Engine with error "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError". Skip confirmation and quit this loop".
As far I got the information from the customer the memory use of the Plain adapter engine is set to 512Mb. This is maybe to low. But I don't know where to look for this, I only have the adapter web interface in front of me, no access to the OS it self via for example remote connection.
On the Integration Engine I know there is the ability to split large message with the file adapter(File Content Conversion), but I don't know this for the Plain Adapter Engine. Is there a possibility to do this also on the Plain Adapter Engine?
Thanks in advance for any input.
Greetings,
Patrick

Hi Sameer,
Thanks for your answers.
On the first solution, yes that is possible, we first decided to see if the legacy system can do the splitting, before starting developing a Java program.
On the second solution, as far as I know is this solution possible on the Integration Engine. But we are facing the problems on the Plain J2SE Adapter Engine. I went trough that documentation(link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/6f/246b3de666930fe10000000a114084/frameset.htm ), to look for I similiar solution in the Plain Adapter Engine. So my question is, is this possible with the Plain Adapter? And if so, what kind of parameters I need to use to achieve this.
Regards,
Patrick

Problem with a JDBC Adapter when connect to Instance on SQL Server

Hi,
Currently I'm setting up a communication channel with the JDBC adapter to work on a SQL Server database. When I use a string without specifying the connection instance, the JDBC driver takes the default instance and connects to a database without problems.
jdbc: sqlserver: / / Server01; databaseName = IntegraSAP1
The problem is when I need to connect to another instance of it server.
jdbc: sqlserver: / / Server01; instanceName = SAP; databaseName = IntegraSAP2
The JDBC driver, in short, send me the following error:
Cause Exception: 'Error when attempting
to get processing resources: com.sap.aii.af.lib.util.concurrent.ResourcePoolException:
Unable to create new pooled resource: DriverManagerException:
Can not establish connection:: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException:
The connection to the named instance has failed. Error:
java.net.UnknownHostException: .
I appreciate your help,
Regards,
Johnny

Not sure, might be port number is not required in case using instance. Give one more try with :
jdbc:sqlserver:/ /Server01\SAP; databaseName = IntegraSAP2
A comment from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms378428.aspx
"SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 allow for the installation of multiple database instances per server. Each instance is identified by a specific name. To connect to a named instance of SQL Server, you can either specify the port number of the named instance (preferred), or you can specify the instance name as a JDBC URL property or a datasource property."

Problem with standalone resource-adapter

Hello,
I have problem with excluding standalone resource adapters from enterprise applications on OAS 10.1.3.4. Because collection of standalone resource adapters can change dynamically (release of new versions, creation of new environment), I cannot enumerate names of resource adapters into orion-application.xml.
In documentation of application server I have found:
Deploying Multiple Versions of a Standalone Resource Adapter
To configure an application to use only adapterA, you would add the following elements to the application's orion-application.xml file:
<imported-shared-libraries>
<remove-inherited name="adapterB"/>
</imported-shared-libraries>
Because both standalone resource adapters are imported by default, it is not necessary to explicitly import adapterA.
An alternative configuration follows:
<imported-shared-libraries>
<import-shared-library name="adapterA">
<remove-inherited name="*"/>
</imported-shared-libraries>
I tried to add following orion-application.xml into my enterprise application, but standalone resource adapters are still visible in class loader of enterprise application.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<orion-application>
<imported-shared-libraries>
<import-shared-library name="global.libraries" />
<import-shared-library name="global.tag.libraries" />
<import-shared-library name="oracle.cache" />
<import-shared-library name="oracle.dms" />
<import-shared-library name="oracle.gdk" />
<import-shared-library name="oracle.http.client" />
<import-shared-library name="oracle.jdbc" />
<import-shared-library name="oracle.jwsdl" />
<import-shared-library name="oracle.persistence" />
<import-shared-library name="oracle.toplink" />
<import-shared-library name="oracle.ws.client" />
<import-shared-library name="oracle.ws.jaxrpc" />
<import-shared-library name="oracle.xml" />
<remove-inherited name="*" />
</imported-shared-libraries>
</orion-application>
How should I disable including all standalone resource adapters without explicit enumerating of resource adapter names in orion-application.xml.
Thanks a lot

Problems with my power adapter!!!!

I just got a new adapter for my Powerbook G4 the other day because the wiring at the plug on my old one wore out. My problem is that the new adapter, when plugged into my computer, sometimes just stops working like it has been unplugged or something. After unplugging the adapter from the wall socket and reinserting, it works fine until my computer goes to sleep. At some point in sleep mode, the little light from the plug in the computer turns off and my computer is only running on battery. This in itself is not that bad, but it gets to be a hassle having to unplug and then re-plug the wall plug everytime my computer goes to sleep. Can anyone help me understand this a little better?

I purchased by G4 six months ago. Since Day one, I have had problems with the power. If I leave the computer plugged into the outlet 24 hours a day, the battery will slowly begin to drain. Even if I never unplug the power source from my computer, the computer begins to drain battery life. For example, I went to bed with my computer charged @ 100%. This morning (all while my computer was sleeping), I have 8% Battery Life left.
I've spent 5-6 phone calls with Apple Care on this issue with no resolution. I sent my G4 off to Apple Care 2 weeks ago and they returned it with a "We Don't Recognize a Problem". I about went through the roof. And, yes, this happens with any outlet I use.
I expect more from a $2500+ machine and their "award winning" customer service.
Help?

Problems with a car adapter?

I have an ipod nano along with 3 other members of my family who also have ipod nanos. We purchased an adapter for the car to listen to the music through the radio. The adapter we bought wasn't apple brand, but 3 of the ipods work fine with it. When I plug my ipod into the adapter, it doesn't play even when it says it's playing on the ipod. I turn both the sound on the ipod and radio up, but it doesn't work. What might be the problem with my ipod and what should I do?
ipod nano Windows XP

I've used radio-type iPod adapters that recognized any file format the iPod would play--in my case, most of them are not MP3, they're AAC or even sound from MPEG movies. The radio adapter simply receives an audio signal from the iPod and broadcasts it on a low-power transmitter. It probably never knows (or cares about) the format of the file in the iPod.
I would first plug in earbuds to make sure there is audio playing. Next, I'd make sure the connector is properly and firmly connected. Finally, I'd make sure that the frequency your adapter is broadcasting is the same one the radio is tuned to.
I found the sound quality from the FM radio adapters disappointing and switched to a cassette adapter, which sounded much better. If your stereo has an auxiliary input, using that would give even better sound quality. I hope that helps.

Newbie:Problems with SCSI root disk

Hello
I have periodic problems with no matter what disk I put in my root partition. My Sun has several disks, so I can take another disk not being used and configure it as my new root disk, installing Solaris root on it.
But when, this way, I replace the disk by another "fresh" disk and reinstall Solaris all goes Ok during some time (days or months) until suddenly I get I/O Errors allways in that disk.
I use a E250 with Solaris8. The problem also arises with Solaris7.
If I do a probe-scsi-all at ok prompt I frequently see hardware errors in that disk. All those errors where not present previously when my disk wan't the root.
What is corrupting my disks a I use them?
Am I missing something when I put a new disk? Should I change the ID of my previous SCSI disk?
If so, how?
Thanks

Are you using the disks in the same slot? It may be the controller....

Multicasting problem with MS Loopback Adapter

Post-Install Problem with External Firewire drive

I just installed Tiger 10.4.3 and the computer would not reboot. It would stop prior to the Starting Mac OS X progress bar and gray out letting me know that the computer needs to restart.
I finally got it to boot successfully by unplugging or turning orr my external Maxtor Firewire drive. The external drive was plugged during the install process (mistake?)
Via Software upgrade, I upgraded to 10.4.6 in the hopes that this would solve the issue. No luck and when turning the drive on, it immediately goes right to the gray screen and lets me know it will need to reboot.
Is this a known problem with a known solution? Did I FUBAR my drive somehow? Any suggestions for righting to ship?
Thanks!

Problem with external FireWire drive

Two weeks ago I purchased a 1 tb Iomega ultra drive with FireWire 800/Firewire 400/USB 2/ESATA to use for back ups. I plugged it in the Firewire 800 port of my iMac. It worked fine until early this morning. I noticed there was a problem first because it was taking forever to log off or restart the computer with the drive connected and second that Time Machine had stopped doing backups a few hours previously and the drive was no longer recognized by OSX. I can plug it into a USB 2 port and it works fine. I have two Lacie drives daisy chained from the same Firewire 800 port - so the port is just fine. Thus it appears that the problem is with the Firewire 800 connection on the Iomega drive. Time Machine works with USB but I bought the drive for its flexibility. In future I might want use it as a bootable drive plus Firewire 800 is faster than USB 2. Any idea if this could be a software problem? I hate to return this drive since a) I would need to securely erase it first; b) I would have no time machine backup until I received a replacement (though I am doing less frequent conventional backups on 3 other drives (ie subsets of my files since none of the other drives are large enough for a single time machine backup plus I like redundancy); c) it is a pain to pack up and return.
So my question is: should I bother or just live with USB 2 and hope that the FireWire problem does not mean the drive is a piece of junk and should not be trusted for anything?

I called the store where I bought the drive and was told I have up to 30 days to return it. So I tried plugging it into the firewire 800 daisy chain (at the end) and now it's working again. So I will watch it closely over the next few days to see if this happens again within the 30 day return period. Also by registering online at the Iomega website, I now have 3 year warranty.
Also from reading other threads about firewire issues, it appears that intermittent firewire problems may be more prevalent than I would expect (based on previous experience with a variety of firewire drives from many vendors).

Network Problems with LaCie Firewire or USB Hub

Hi Folks,
I have a recurring problem with my 27-Inch iMac mid-2010 running OSX 10.7.2 (had same problem with Snow Leopard before upgrading) where, when a Firewire device ( LA Cie HD) or a USB Hub is pluged-in the wired ethernet will not work on wake up from sleep.
I always have to cycle off my Cisco Router for the Mac to use the wired ethernet.
Does not happen with the WIFI and does not happen if there is no firewire device or USB hub pluged in.
Anyone seen this before? Anyone with an idea on how to resolve this?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts
Dan

I picked up a 2big network a few days ago (to replace two Buffalo LinkStation Pros) and also have not been able to get an icon for the drive to appear on my mac desktop, despite being able to access the 2big through "Connect to Server." I hope to learn more from LaCie.
A successful workaround I'm using is to put the contents of each share on the 2big drive into a single folder in the share, make an alias of the folder in the share, and drag/copy the alias to the desktop of any machine needing access to the share. Admittedly a little kludgy, but easy to disseminate once set up. The desktop alias calls up the respective folder quite crisply, tested now for several machines on the network -- at least with up to ~40 Gb in a given folder/share so far. For reference, this network currently has 6 Mac and 3 Win XP nodes.
