Random Shutdowns Started Again After Fix - Some Questions for Others

::sigh::
After a very prompt repair followed by 3 weeks of constant use with no problems, tonight I had another random shutdown. (Here we go again.) I never was able to find anyone at Apple who could tell me what they fixed (it was not a logic board replacement) but apparently it wasn't a permanent fix.
Some observations and questions:
When random shutdowns start, my "previous shutdown code" in the system log changes to -72, and continue to register as -72 even when I shutdown the computer myself. During the period when the system was working after the repair, shutdown codes were always 0s or 3s. Have others noticed the same pattern? In my experience, once that first negative code appears, it doesn't change back to normal, regardless of how the computer is turned off (except after the repair).
Also, tonight was the first time since my repair that I used the 3-prong power cord with the AC adapter (rather than just the two prong). Could there be any connection (perhaps a faulty cord sendinga surge to the system and damaging something)? During the last round, shutdowns occurred whether on AC power or battery, but I'm wondering if the use of that cord may have triggered the problem in the first place. Has anyone that has had random shutdowns never used the 3-prong cord at all?
The other thing I've noticed is that importing digital camera photos into iPhoto often seems to trigger shutdowns (not all of them, but some of them). My random shutdown tonight happened after editing photos I'd just imported from my camera (and right after I ejected and unplugged the camera). Could the connection to the camera somehow cause a problem? Has anyone who has had random shutdowns NOT connected a digital camera or used iPhoto?
Just grasping at straws here to try to figure out what causes this problem (since apparently Apple hasn't figured it out yet). Looks like I'm going to have to take it back again. I love my MacBook better than any PC I've ever had, but I never had these kind of hardware problems with my PCs (and if I did have a problem it was usually pretty simple to troubleshoot and repair).

I think you're confused, it's not as simple as that.
Here's why - I just ran two yes terminal sessions on my wife's MacBook and let it run for 15 minutes. Fan came on, system is running warm but running just fine.
On my RSD MacBook, while I was at the Apple Store, trying to demonstrate the RSD it ran two yes terminals for like 5 minutes and kept running however when I closed Terminal - wham RSD.
It IS NOT heat related. Most likely the system "thinks" there's a heat problem by a bad sensor, wire whatever.
If I can't run my MacBook at 100% (actually 200%, both cores) for as long as I need then it is defective and should be returned to Apple.
When my MacBook was working I ran EVN (Escape Velocity NOVA) which runs under Rosetta, man that thing sucked the battery dry in less than 60 minutes and the system got pretty warm too. BUT IT KEPT running and didn't shut down. When my system was acting up I couldn't even browse the Apple web site and ut would shutdown.
Greg
PS I installed the SMC update a week before my system started having RSD.

Can't start Tomcat after installing Bea WorkShop for JSP

Hi,
I have been using Eclipse SDK Version: 3.1.2 Build id: M20060118-1600 and Web Tools Project 1.0.2 and Tomcat 5.0 and Tomcat 5.5 for about 2 months with no problems. But now I Can't start Tomcat after installing Bea WorkShop for JSP plug-in. I get "Server Tomcat v5.0 @ localhost failed to start". Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I installed BEA Workshop for JSP Version: 3.1.0
Build id: 536. I only wanted to install the plug-in to my existng Eclipse 3.1 / WTP application. The only option that I saw was to download the entire FullWorkshopFreeInstall-536.zip, which is 192,496 KB. During the installation, there is a screen that you can specify to only install the plug-in - and I selected that option. Today, I chose to uninstall the BEA Workshop for JSP and then I was again able to start Tomcat server. I then did a complete install of BEA Workshop for JSP into a totally separate location. My original Eclipse installation still works fine, but my Workshop for JSP Version (which is now a completely new installation) has the same problem with Tomcat that I reported with the plug-in. I am using j2sdk1.4.2_08 and have tried both Tomcat 5.0 and Tomcat 5.5. I have the same problem with both Windows XP Home Edition and Windows XP Professional.
Thanks for your assistance.

Cenzon-
Are you syncing over WiFi or over the USB cable? Try doing the opposite.
Also try a different USB port on the iMac.

Kernel Panics starting again after long break

About 3 months ago i experienced a lot of random Kernel Panics and after trying all sorts of solutions the only thing that solved it was a total reinstall of my Tiger 10.3 with a zero out data on the Tiger reinstall. I did a copy (using SuperDuper) of my HD onto a external Firewire disk, and then copied that back afterwards.
Now it's starting again. I have Tiger 10.4.4 and have KP's almost every day. The latest looks like this (no periphals at all). Can anyone out there decipher the KP Log?:

Hi Flemming--
thanks for your reply.
I don't know if its the graphics system, coz' the
other day i had a KP that said:
Kernel loadable modules in backtrace (with
dependencies):
com.apple.iokit.AppleAirPort2(404.2)@0x65c000
dependency:
com.apple.iokit.IONetworkingFamily(1.5.0)@0x526000
dependency:
com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(1.7)@0x479000
om.apple.iokit.IONetworkingFamily(1.5.0)@0x526000
- which made me suspecious about the Airport card or
something. But it's kinda random what the log says
and the only repeating line i see is:
" dependency:
com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(1.7)@0x479000".
So i'm still in doubt here.
You're right, it's probably not the graphics system if the other lines change. But if they always show the IOPCIFamily, it could be a logic board problem or a bad stick of RAM. If you have extra RAM, you could try swapping RAM around and see if that fixes the problem.
And for the Apple
hardware Test - everybody is talking about that but i
never could find that on any CD's i've had from Apple.
It depends on how old your computer is. The Apple Hardware Test for my PowerBook (Oct 2006) is on the "PowerBook G4 Mac OS X 15-inch and 17-inch Install Disc 1". It's referred to on the lower left side of the disc as "AHT 2.5.2", but the directions in the upper right refer to it as Apple Hardware Test: "To use Apple Hardware Test , hold down the option key as the computer starts up."
For my iMac G5, it's on another disc labelled "Additional Software & Apple Hardware Test". In the more distant past, I remember it coming on a completely separate CD, and the CD had a silver label, not the usual gray ones of the OS restore discs that came with the computer. But I'm not sure how long ago that's been.
best,
charlie

Start again after presentation

when I am at the last slide and I want to start the whole presentation again from the start, I have to manually scroll all my slides to no. 1 in order to start a new presentation!
There must be something wrong!
Even if I go to keynote presentation window. where all the presentations folders are, when I douple tap a presentation, it shows me the last slide I of my previous presentation.
there must be a rseset somewhere, but I can not find it.
I find it quite troublesome to scroll up those masses of slides just to start again.

Hi Aldo,
The setting of restartable doesn't matter in this case.
If the database is down when the job is supposed to run then the job will run when the database comes back up.
There is one exception, if you set schedule_limit to a non-NULL value and the
database_start_time - requested_job_start_time > schedule_limit
then that job run will be skipped (the schedule_limit is an upper limit on how late the scheduler is allowed to run the job).
The restartable flag only comes into play when a job fails or the database is shutdown while running a job. The restartable flag says whether the job should be restarted immediately ( or as soon as the database starts up again).
Hope this helps. There is a forum dedicated to the Scheduler here

Song starts again after a few seconds

Just noticed a strange one...
My iPhone 5 is syncing music and I'm playing something else on it while this is happening. Sometimes, a track will start and several seconds into it, it will start again from the beginning. The display shows the name of the previous track and I have to press forward to get the track to play properly.
The song I'm playing is from an album that has already synchronised.
-Dan

Get over this, it happens to me too, all the time. Also when adding lyrics.
When you add artwork to an mp3-type file, the size will increase. And depending on iTune's mood with Windows at the time, it might stop.
So just hit pause and then play again, and your song should go.

Won't start up after using as host for target firewire...help?!

I used my iMac G4 1.25ghz flatpanel to install Tiger to my G3 iMac via Firewire Target mode, and now the G4 won't start up/has no power.
Because the G4 wouldn't start up in Target Firewire for some reason, i used the G4 as the host and started up the G3 in Target, restarted the G4 from the DVD, and installed Tiger to the G3 (i am positive i used the correct destination disk, adn the G3 is now showing the Welcome screen so it was sucessful).
Afer installing, the G4 automatically restarted on the Welcome screen- apparently normal in this situation, from what i read- and i turned it off via its power button because i want to do the Welcome stuff from the G3 itself (was that a mistake?). I'm thinking i might have only put it to sleep, tho, before i pulled the Firewire cable.. i didn't hold the button down long.
Afer i pulled the Firewire cable, the G4 wouldn't start up again via the Power button. I pulled the power cable and plugged it in again, but still absolutely nothing- obviously no power. No response to trying to reset PRAM, start it up from an external drive, via firewire, or CD- it's like it's unplugged.
What could have happened? Would pulling the Firewire cable have messed up PMU if it was only asleep, not shut down? Could i have damaged the power cable when i pulled it?
Could having used it to install to another drive in Target mode have screwed it up (i've read of many people doing this without problem).?
Should i try pushing the PMU button, or are there other things i can try first? (i can borrow a power cable from my son's G4 iMac)
I'd sure like to get it booted in some way or other ASAP to make sure i didn't mess up the G4's hard drive somehow...

thanks, i'm going to read and bookmark that for future ref... i had a post not post, tho, that said: tempest in a tea-pot, it was just something with the power supply. As soon as i tried a cord from a friend's a few hours later, it powered up. Oddly enuf, when i then reattached the original power cord, it powered up from that, too.
I wonder if these have some kind of time-delayed automatic reset on the firewire or power supply or pmu, because NOTHING i did worked right after it happened.

HT3743 Iphone 4 unlocked by at&t i did a restore from itunes and get an error message "your request cannot be processed please try again after sometime" I tried for a week now but same problem, please advice

Some question for Sun Java System

Dear all:
I use Sun Java System We Server 7.0 for my project.
But I have some question on SJSWS 7.0
My server runtime information
1. OS is RedHat Enterprise 3
2. memory: 2G
3. SJSWS version: 7.0 preview 3
My questions
Q1. The speed that download image is slower than the speed that run JSP page . The image's size to smaller than 5 KB. Is it possible to speed up download image
Q2. My machine has 2GB memory, The system use swap area always. I think it isn't enough of SJSWS 7.0. How much memory size that SJSWS 7.0?
Many thank for everybody

first off, please try the Update 1 release in stead of technology preview releases: http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=467713d6
Q1> So I want to ask it is possible to display image and text at the same time like use Tomcat ?
there is nothing in the server end (whether it's Tomcat or any other web server) that affects how the content is displayed on the browser.
Q2>I detect The ram was used over 800M~1G by SJSWS7. My website has 80~150 user in workinghour
Are you seeing Web Server process measuring so much memory?
Q3> Is it possible that the admin server use SJSWS7U1 and some or all of node use SJSWS preview 3, because the server is running on line, I can't stop them for update server
No - you want to switch to U1 anyway, since it's a released version (and is absolutely FREE for production use).

Some questions for ressources provisionning.

Hello people.
I'm currently playing around with LDoms on a new brilliant shiny T5520 and I have some questions about.
My actual configuration is the following:
- 1 T5520 Server with 32 Gb RAM and a 8 cores 64 threads Niagara T2
- 4 SAS 143 Gb disks on controller 1.
The disk are mirrored using raidctl in two pairs of raid 1, c1t0d0 and c1t2d0.
The primary OS is installed on c1t0d0 and I plan to use ZFS for creating vdisks LDoms guests on c1t2d0.
I have access to a netapp but only with iscsi and nfs.
So, the questions:
- Does it make sense to use ZFS on hard mirrored disks ?
- Is it best to add the two disks non mirrored to my ZFS pool and backup snapshots on the netapp ?
- Does my LDoms needs more memory that I planned ? Each guest will have between 2 Gb and 4 Gb for the bigger. I will have, at the beginning 4 or 5 guests for testing / integration, LDAP / DNS services, Licences services, Web Portal, and, maybe, if I could convince my boss a little SPARC Gentoo Linux, just for fun :)
Thanks :)
PS: Forgive my poor English, I'm a French bas***d guy :)

You mean T5220, great machine anyway :)
- RAID hardware is supposed to be faster than ZFS, but ZFS offer more functionalities.
- you need both mirroring and backup, even if nice, ZFS snapshot cannot replace a backup software.
- Keep a free memory pool not allocated and ready to increase the RAM size of a LDOM (rebooting the LDOM will be necessary). And hum... use it to play with linux for sparcs :-)

How to make a Dynamic Link starting in After Effects to Premier (not other way around)

I have seen a ton of tutorials how to Dynamic Link from Premier to After Effects. (but not the other way around. )
I need instructions/video how to link starting in After Effect to Premier.
For example if I make a title in After Effects and then want to dynamic Link it into Premier how is this done?
Thanks!!

I've looked at this too. When I first started using DL, I thought that it was basically a two way street between applications. But that analogy doesn't work very well. DL is PPro-centric. Like PPro is the hub, DL the spokes, and the other Abobe applications are on the rim. And this makes a fair amount of sense. The central feature of an editing suite is the editor, and that would be PPro.
Another way to look at it is that you can push from PPro to AE, and PPro can pull from AE, but AE can not push to PPro. So the direct answer to "I need instructions/video how to link starting in After Effect to Premier" is, you can't. What you can do is make your title composition in AE, import that AE project into PPro, and use the composition as you would any other asset in PPro. Then when you change your title in AE, you'll see the change in PPro almost immediately without you having to do anything.
When I'm making motion lower thirds, for example, I now make them in AE. I let the AE project reside in the directory with the PPro project that I made the lower thirds for. Then when I want the lower thirds in PPro, I just import the AE lower thirds into the PPro project. There's a few ways to do this. One is to use the Media Browser. The MB will open up the AE project for you and let you select which composition you want to import. Another way is to File...Adobe Dynamic Link...Import AE composition which does more or less the same thing. There may be other ways as well, IDK.

Some questions for SOAP attachment

Hello to all, i am newbie :( with web services and i have some questions...... I want to make a service for transfering data from client to server through a Web Service. Right now i can transfer stings, int but with images, videos i don't know what to do.... Well the software that i'm using is j2sdk1.4.2_04, jakarta-tomcat-5.0.19 and soap 2.3.1 (downloaded from Apache site). I confused with MIME and DIME, i know that if i want to transfer data like images/audio i have to use one of them, BUT which one? I think MIME supported from Java and DIME supported from Microsoft, is that right? Can i make my client using DIME? If i choose MIME i have to use JavaMail and JAXM?
Please if can help me because i have very confuse and i feel like lost in space...
Thanks for your time, John

Will jobs start again after a db shutdown?

Hi all,
sorry for this newbye question...
Suppose a job having a next_date for execution at 04/04/2007 04:00, at 04/04/2007 03:00 the db is shutted down and at 04/04/2007 06:00 is started up.
I repeat the scedule again:
04/04/2007 03:00 - Db shutdown
04/04/2007 04:00 - Job should run, but db is down
04/04/2007 06:00 - Db startup
??/??/???? ??:?? - When will the job run?
What happen at the job, when will it be executed, will it be broken and failures increased?
thanks a lot

ITunes starts again after disconnecting iPhone4

Hi y'all,
When I connect my iPhone to my computer (for synching / charging the battery) iTunes will start automatically.
So far, so good.
But when the work is done (synching / charging the battery) and I disconnect the iPhone and disable iTunes by just clicking the 'X' (above right of the window) then iTunes starts all over again spontaneously.
Can anybody explain what's the use of that ?
thx in advance,
Jim

May I conclude that there is no solution on this issue, or is this question just too silly to be answered?
Anyhow, the problem still exists and it's becoming pretty annoying, so please anyone for a solution?
