Really Strange Powerbutton behavior

Hi,
I have searched the forums for a debugging hint quite a bit, but this is slightly different from the normal "macbook won't turn on" thread. So normally pressing the power button doesn't do anything. However, it usually does turn on when I hold the power-button with ctrlappleshift to reset power management or optionapple+pr to reset the PRAM.
Now, I say usually because very rarely that doesn't work before I take out the battery and do the holding down the power button for a couple of seconds.
Any ideas on how to further debug this? My guess is it would be something with the SMC or power management since I would think the success of the two combinations means that it is not the physical button. However, of course it could be totally random that it works when I hold down those combinations. Sometimes it takes up to 15 seconds even with those combinations to work, but I haven't succeeded in just holding down the power button by itself for that amount of time to have any effect.
Could this be the backup-battery? The computer is about four years old. Any debugging tip is greatly appreciated.
Best,
David

I have the same problem. This power issue came out of nowhere so to speak. I have tried many of the troubleshooting suggestions i.e., commandctrlpower for 3 seconds, the commandoption+pr key option to name a few. My battery is dead and it has not been replaced, so I use the power adaptor. Anyway, this power problem happened once before and after many attempts I got my computer to work, but now it seems that after many many tries, my computer will not turn on. I did add more memory to my computer, could that have something to do with my power troubles? Any help would be much appreciated. Sorry to kinda hijack your post netzwurm. Suggestions for netzwurm and I would be great!! Thank you.

Really strange Memory Behavior in Photoshop CS6

I have:
MacPro 1,1
32GB RAM
SSD system disc
separate SSD scratch volume
recently installed OS-X 10.8.5
freshly re-installed and updated PS CS6
PS is configured to use 20GB memory.
I have created this huge psb-file with 53GB (big because it's a stitched pano with several layers, 16bit).
Opening this file again is a nightmare and sometimes fails completely.
When PS starts opening the file, PS takes a long while reading data, using something like 15-20GB RAM and starts to write to the scratch disc, as one would suspect.
Then something bizarre happens.
The checkerboarded window is drawn on screen, but before any real pixel of the picture is displayed, PS fills all available RAM (even though it shouldn't use more than 20B):
Then the Mac starts to build up a swap file which keeps growing and growing on the system disk up to 56GB.
This process takes around 20 minutes while PS is "Not responding".
The console log starts recording HI_WAT_ALERTS and swapon-messages.
If I'm lucky, the whole thing deflates suddenly at some point drawing the pictures and releasing all that RAM.
If I'm not that lucky, PS is suspended with a message "Your startup disk has no more space available for application memory".
Even if there still seems to be space left on that volume.
I maxed out on RAM and even got a larger startup disk to prevent it from filling up with swap completely.
But this doesn't seem to help.
I originally started having this situation with OS 10.7.5.
But a migration to 10.8.5 and a re-install of Adobe CS didn't help either.
Adobe vehemently denies any memory leaks in PS.
Enabling/Disabling GPU display support doesn't change anything.
Does anybody have any ideas what's going on?
Thanks

Lowering the memory for PS doesn't help.
I tried 16GB and 12GB.
Even when limiting PS to 8GB, the situation remains:
While the file is being read, PS grows to 8GB, but "inactive RAM" starts to fill memory until "Free RAM" ist virtually zero.
Then, when the image is about to be actually drawn, PS balloons to 29GB, and OS-X starts to build the huge swap-file:
The startup disk gets real busy paging in and out simulataneously until the swap has grown to about 50 GB.
This takes about 30 minutes, while PS is "not responding".
Then, the pictures appears on the screen, the whole memory thing deflates like a soufflee.
PS goes back to using 8GB of RAM, swap is zero and tons of RAM are free.
GPU accelleration was disabled (don't know how this translates to OpenGL usage).
And my Mac Pro is a 2,1 (mistyped 1,1 in the original post).

Bug in my code or strange memory behavior ?

Hi, Guys !
It's been a while since I post something in this forum - trying to use your help when it's really needed.
So, here we go ...
(we use Oracle 8.1.7 on Unix box and SQL * Plus 8.1.6)
While back I wrote "core" PL/SQL package that resides in let's say DB1 database. It has RECORD_EXISTS_FNC function designed to dynamically check If the record exists in certain table/view. Assumptions are that you pass in :
Table/View name, Column name, and unique numeric value (because by DBA rules all of our Tables have SEQUENCE as a Primary Key. And I plan soon to put in overloaded function to accept unique character value)
Also every Table has SYS_TIME_STAMP and SYS_UPDATE_SEQuence columns that populated by Trigger before Insert/Update representing Last Update time_stamp
and how many times record was updated within same second.
(in case more than one User updates same record in same time - that was written before Oracle had more granular date/time). So function has SYS_TIME_STAMP and SYS_UPDATE_SEQUENCE parameters (optional) accordingly.
And It looks something like :
FUNCTION RECORD_EXISTS_FNC
(iBV_NAME IN USER_VIEWS.VIEW_NAME%TYPE,
iPK_FIELD IN USER_TAB_COLUMNS.COLUMN_NAME%TYPE,
iPK_VALUE IN NUMBER,
iSYS_TIME_STAMP IN DATE DEFAULT NULL,
iSYS_UPDATE_SEQ IN NUMBER DEFAULT NULL) RETURN BOOLEAN IS
TYPE REF_CUR IS REF CURSOR;
CR REF_CUR;
i PLS_INTEGER DEFAULT 0;
vRESULT BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE;
vQUERY USER_SOURCE.TEXT%TYPE;
BEGIN
vQUERY := 'SELECT 1 FROM ' || iBV_NAME || ' WHERE ' || iPK_FIELD || ' = ' || iPK_VALUE;
IF iSYS_TIME_STAMP IS NOT NULL AND iSYS_UPDATE_SEQ IS NOT NULL THEN
vQUERY := vQUERY || ' AND SYS_TIME_STAMP = TO_DATE (''' || iSYS_TIME_STAMP || ''')
AND SYS_UPDATE_SEQ = ' || iSYS_UPDATE_SEQ;
END IF;
IF iBV_NAME IS NOT NULL AND
iPK_FIELD IS NOT NULL AND
iPK_VALUE IS NOT NULL THEN
OPEN CR FOR vQUERY;
FETCH CR INTO i;
vRESULT := CR%FOUND;
CLOSE CR;
END IF;
RETURN vRESULT;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
IF CR%ISOPEN THEN
CLOSE CR;
END IF;
INSERT_ERROR_LOG_PRC ('CORE_PKG', 'ORACLE', SQLCODE, SQLERRM, 'RECORD_EXISTS_FNC');
RETURN vRESULT;
END RECORD_EXISTS_FNC;
So the problem is when I call this function from let's say
database DB2 (via db remote link and synonym) and I know exactly that record does exists (because I am selecting those SYS fields before pass them in) - I get the correct result TRUE. The other programmer (Patrick) calls this function within same DB2 database, within same UserID/password (obviously different session), running exactly the same testing code and gets result FALSE (record doesn't exist, but it does !) He tried to Logoff/Login again several times within several days and try to run it and still was getting FALSE !
I tried to Logoff/Login again and I was getting mostly TRUE and sometimes FALSE too !!!
I thought may be It has something to do with REF CURSOR that I use to build SQL on the fly, so I changed to NDS
using EXECUTE IMMEDIATE statement - nothing changed.
vQUERY := 'SELECT COUNT (1) FROM ' || iBV_NAME || ' WHERE ' || iPK_FIELD || ' = ' || iPK_VALUE;
IF iSYS_TIME_STAMP IS NOT NULL AND iSYS_UPDATE_SEQ IS NOT NULL THEN
vQUERY := vQUERY || ' AND SYS_TIME_STAMP = TO_DATE (''' || iSYS_TIME_STAMP || ''') AND SYS_UPDATE_SEQ = ' || iSYS_UPDATE_SEQ;
END IF;
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE vQUERY INTO i;
vRESULT := NOT (i = 0);
RETURN vRESULT;
Interesting note : when Patrick doesn't pass SYS parameters (Time_stamp, Update_sequence), or passes NULLs - function always finds the record ! (Statement 2 below)
May be it has to do with the way TO_DATE () function gets parsed in that dynamic SQL - I don't know ...
Here's the test code :
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON;
DECLARE
SYS_TIME DATE;
SYS_SEQ NUMBER;
bEXISTS BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE;
BEGIN
SELECT SYS_TIME_STAMP, SYS_UPDATE_SEQ INTO SYS_TIME, SYS_SEQ FROM LOCATION_BV WHERE PK = 1;
bEXISTS := CORE_PKG.RECORD_EXISTS_FNC ('LOCATION_BV','PK',1, SYS_TIME, SYS_SEQ); -- STATEMENT 1
--bEXISTS := CORE_PKG.RECORD_EXISTS_FNC ('LOCATION_BV','PK',1, NULL, NULL); -- STATEMENT 2
IF bEXISTS THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('TRUE');
ELSE
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('FALSE');
END IF;
END;
I asked our DBA, he has no clue about this strange inconsistent results.
I debugged line by line, extracted that generated SQL and ran it in same account - works fine !
Does anyone knows or have clues or can help what's going on ???
I don't know If this is bug in my code or strange memory behavior ?
(Please let me know If anything unclear)
Thanx a lot for your help and time !
Steve K.

Bug in my code or strange memory behavior ?

Strange nexus behavior

I'll try to explain this best i can . We have 2 6509's running port channels down to 2 Nexus 7000' where the 7000's are running vpc . All the routing is still being done on the 6509's . The nexus 7000's only have routing running via separate ospf links back to the 6509's . The plan is to eventually have the routing on the nexus so we have all the layer 3 SVI's that are on the 6509's defined on the 7000's with hsrp but all are admin down on the 7000's for now. On the 7000's all the routing looks correct with all the ip routes being learned on the separate ospf links. This is the strange thing from the 7000's if try to ping the svi addresses both the primary and secondary addresses on the 6509's they ping fine but if you try to ping any hsrp virtual address none of those ping . The really strange thing we see in the routing table on the 7000's is that hsrp virtual is put into the ospf table as a /32 with a source of the vlan that it is on on the 7000's which is admin'd down so obviously that traffic is not going to go anywhere if it's trying to send it down a admin down SVI . The actual subnet that the SVI is in is a /24 . So what we tried is we removed the downed svi on both 7000's and then cleared that /32 virtual address and it works correctly and the route for that address looks correct being the ospf uplinks to the 6509's . I'm not sure what to make of it . Is there some inherent difference in the way the Nexus handles hsrp even if it's admin'd down? Or can anyone explain this behavior . I will add this if you stick a device in that vlan on either the 7000's or a nexus 5000 which is below the 7000's configured with an address and the virtual address as the gateway it rides the vpc's as it should up from the 5000's to the 7000's and up to the 6509s . You can also ping the hsrp virtual from this device . The problem just seems to be with the nexus 7000 and ospf and the hsrp virtual address being in the table as a /32 pointing to a vlan which is admi'd down on the 7000's . Strange. Any speculation welcome...

Well there seems to be at least 2 or 3 bugs that are fairly close to this so my guess is it is a bug . Seems like there is more hsrp bugs than there should be on the Nexus platform. The only problem with this is a "clear ip route *" does not fix what we are seeing so we really don't have a fix for this issue.

Capturing DVCAM in FCP 6.0.2 and encountering strange capture behavior

I have FCP 6.0.2 and OSX 10.5.2 and QT 7.3.1. I have been capturing several DVCAM cassettes using my Sony DSR-20 deck. Although I have done this countless times before in earlier versions of FCP, I am encountering some strange repetitive behavior. I am capturing 30 minute clips one at a time. When I use batch capture it will cue the tape up properly to the in point...and then start capturing until it gets to about 10-12 minutes in, and then capture unexpectedly stops, no dialogue box, the tape rewinds and starts capturing again from the original in point. On this second capture, the tape sails past the 10 minute mark and keeps going to the end of the 30 minute clip. It then stops, gives me the dialogue box that it has successfully captured. And it has.
But every DVCAM tape I captured today exhibited the same behavior. Capture would be successful until about about 10 minutes in, then FCP aborts (no dropped frame message, no dialogue box) rewinds the tape back to the in point, tries again, and this time succeeds with the second pass capturing the entire clip. Note at the 10 minute mark there is no scene change or no camera start/stop.
Have other users experienced this issue? And if so, is there a workaround or a possible patch forthcoming from FCP?
Many thanks,
John

Yes, each tape has an in and out point defined. In my 6 years of editing with Final Cut and DVCAM tapes I've never encountered this issue before in the capturing process until now. I will have to see in future weeks with other captures whether this is an on-going issue or not, but at least I can capture for now.

I just jazzed up my 2 Ghz iMac with 10.6.8, and 4 gigs of memory. I'm VERY happy with the results (fast!), but now I have a thin yellow line way over on the right side of the screen, which goes from top to bottom. This is really strange! Any input?

I'm VERY happy with the results (fast!). However, the really strange thing is this - there is now a thin yellow line, way over on the right side of the screen, which goes from top to bottom, and stays there no matter where I go or what I do. I've never seen anything like this! It was not there before I did the upgrades. Anyone out there ever heard of such a preposterous thing ~ or have any ideas on how to get rid of it?

Hello Mark,
It's going to mean a lot of reading but you should study the 'More like this' legend to your post's immediate right. >>>>>>>> plus some of the links within each.
The problem is well explored with much guidance on what to do and where to go.

Strange Permissions Behavior with Public/Private Drop Box

Strange Permissions Behavior with Non-Course Drop Box
In an effort to promote iTunes U on campus this semester (and to get people working with audio and video more) we're having a contest in which people can submit personal or group audio/video projects.
This being an iTunes promo, we intend for students to submit their contributions via a drop box.
To that end, I began experimenting with drop boxes in iTunes U, which I haven't done much of previously. I've created a course called "iTunes U Drop Box Test" under "Campus Events". Within that, I have two tabs: "Featured Submissions" and "Dropbox". My goal with this drop box was to allow faculty, students and college folks the ability to use the drop box ("college" being a role I've defined for those who don't fit into the faculty/student roles).
When I first started experimenting, access to the "iTunes U Drop Box Test" course looked like this:
--- Credentials (System) ---
Edit: Administrator@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:lafayette.edu
Download: Authenticated@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:lafayette.edu
Download: Unauthenticated@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:lafayette.edu
Download: All@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:lafayette.edu
--- Credentials ----
Download: College@urn:mace:lafayette.edu
Download: Instructor@urn:mace:lafayette.edu
Download: Instructor@urn:mace:lafayette.edu:classes:${IDENTIFIER}
Download: Student@urn:mace:lafayette.edu
Download: Student@urn:mace:lafayette.edu:classes:${IDENTIFIER}
For the "Featured" Submissions tab, I gave the non-system credentials the "download" right, and for the "Dropbox" tab I gave the non-system credentials the "dropbox" right.
My understanding of this setup is that everyone should have had the ability to view the course and the contents of the "Featured Submissions" tab and that those in the College/Instructor/Student roles would be able to upload files via the "Dropbox" tab ... but not see the contents of said tab after the files were uploaded (aside from any files they uploaded themselves).
This is not the behavior we saw however. While the College/Instructor/Student roles could upload files to the dropbox, everyone (including the unauthenticated public) was able to see all of the contents of the dropbox.
The only way I could get this to work as advertised was to change all of the system credentials save the "Administrator" to "No Access":
--- Credentials (System) ---
Edit: Administrator@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:lafayette.edu
No Access: Authenticated@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:lafayette.edu
No Access: Unauthenticated@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:lafayette.edu
No Access: All@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:lafayette.edu
Once I did this, everything worked as advertised: College/Instructor/Student roles could upload tracks, and the "Dropbox" tab would only display tracks they uploaded.
So my question is ... is this the correct behavior for the drop box? It looks like when the system credentials are in play, they're simply overriding whatever the normal "view" rule is for the drop box, which doesn't seem right.

Your current configuration where things work as you wanted does seem correct to me. You are not using any System Credentials to accomplish the functionality and that's fine.
Here's some more info to clarify how / why this is working for you and why you had to set "No Access" for the System Credentials:
The System Credential "Authenticated@..." is going to get assigned to any user that goes through your transfer script. Even if you transfer script assigns no credentials to a user, upon entering iTunes U they will have at least 1 - the "Authenticated@..." credential. Therefore, unless you block access using "No Access", any user that passes through your transfer script is going to be able to access the area in question.
When you change values for "Unauthenticated@..." or "All@..." you are defining what someone that DOES NOT pass through your transfer script can do. You want both of those to be "No Access" at the top level of your site if you do not want unauthenticated visitors.
The distinction between "Unauthenticated" and "All" is that "All" applies to all users whether they pass through the transfer script or not.
Here's another way to remember things:
User passes through your transfer script, iTunes U automatically assigns:
Authenticated@....
All@....
User does not pass through your transfer script and instead access your iTunes U site through derivable URL*, they get assigned:
Unauthenticated@....
All@....
*The derivable URL for a site is: http://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Browse/site-domain-name

Strange XSLT Behavior: xsl:template match

Hello I found the following strange XSLT behavior when using xsl:template. I only want to read the content of the element /Source/Surname/Details. Therefore I match this path using xsl:template match.
What is strange that in the target message also the value of the Element LastName is written at the end. Please see example below. This is just a short example to point out the problem. I have a bigger message structure where I have to match a similar path. How can I avoid the the value of the FullDetails is just written at the end (not even beeing in an element)? I would have expected that the path is only matched once and the instructions then executed without <LastName> beeing even touched.I used XML Spy for this test.
Here is an example:
Source message:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Source>
     <Surname>
          <Details>MyFirstName</Details>
     </Surname>
     <LastName>
          <FullDetails> MyLastName </FullDetails>
     </LastName>
</Source>
XSLT

Hi,
I am not sure why your XSLT behaving like that,please try this XSL,what i did chnages is Templete match /*,I given exact path in Value of select,.

Strange typeover behavior in Newsfeeds

I am getting this strange intermittent behavior when create a post in the Newsfeed.
As you begin to type the text compress and it almost looks like the letters are typing over themselves
The resulting text can be posted and looks fine when posted, it some times does throw an error but the error and type over don't seem connected
It happens on all browser types and even phones and tablets

C4507R-E Sup 6L-E 10GE and X4648-RJ45V+E: Strange Port behavior in one VLAN

Hello all!
I need some help, because i got some really strange thing. We got the 4500 with named SUP and Linecard and around 10 VLANs on it.
If I configure on the linecard a Port into VLAN 500 (access or trunk, doesnt matter) the Host on this port with the correct IP Net gets an error if trying to ping the GW. The Host on this port even cant ping itself.
If you do the Port into another VLAN, in our test VLAN 300, with VLAN300 Subnet, Ping on GW and Ping on itself is working. When you configure the Subnet of VLAN500, but keep the Port in VLAN300, the Host can ping itself and get a correct time out on GW ping. After the Host is configured and you configure the port after into VLAN500, also the Ping to Host and Ping to GW works (which didnt before). If you disconnect / connect the cable, the same problem in VLAN500 is back again.
This whole problem can only be reproduced in this single VLAN 500 - every other VLAN is working normal
Anyone know a Bug to this or had the same problem?

Opening CS5 comps in CS6 causes strange layer behavior

Hi Guys,
Yesterday I went to a CS6 workspace and installed After Effects.
I just imported a CS5 comp into After Effects CS6, it looked like everthing worked fine. After working a while I saw some really strange layer bugs happening. Layers pop off randomly in the composition viewer.
In some layers the Set Matte effect causes to blank the layer randomly. It flips the alpha from inverts the alpha randomly. the strange thing is that i needed to re-apply the effect and adjust the same settings, after that it worked fine.
Also when working with masks applied, the alpha changes randomly. I had it while using 3D stroke, the alpha of the stroke pops back and forth. I used Ease and wizz for the curve of the mask of the stroke. When i deactivated the script of the mask the problem went away. But it doesn't make any sense!?
Are there more people issuing the same problem as i have? Or is there anybody that can help me prevent it?
Thank you very much in advance.

thank you for your quick replies!
I updated After Effects but the issue is still there.
I found out that:
- it has something to do with the alpha channel, because it only happens when an alpha "set matte" or "track matte" is applied.
- It only becomes visible after a precomposition of the comp (before updating to 11.0.2 also in the comp with alpha channel)
- the issue is gone when the resolution/downsample factor is set to half (in the composition screen)
Really strange...

LaserJet 1320 not being recognized, really strange

Hello all,
I'm having a really strange problem that I think is mostly my fault. I just recieved a LaserJet 1320, and when I first hooked it up everything worked fine.
However, I couldn't figure out how to do duplex printing, so I installed HP's Toolbox software. A big mistake, and I ended up having to manually delete all of the file it put in /Library.
Anyhow, now my Mac won't recognize the printer at all. Print Setup Utilities shows nothing. I've reinstalled the HP PPDs from my Tiger CD, still nothing.
The Printer works (Tested on an old Linux Box) and the USB ports on my Mac work, but still I can't get the printer to be recognized.
*pulls out hair*
Any help would be welcomed.
Thanks,

Powerbook G4 1.5 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I had the same problem with a friends computer.
She had put the CD in also.
I nearly lost the will to live trying to fix it so I plugged it into my powerbook to see if the printer was OK. I could print perfectly.
I then copied the printer from username/Library/Printers/ folder and then dropped in into her printers folder. It worked brilliantly. All you need is another mac that has never been near an HP install CD.

Oracle 9.2: Really strange problem so Please Help!

Hi All,
I am having a really strange problem and I don't know why it is so. I have a simple sproc (for testing) that updates one column in a table and the where clause uses two in params and the set clause uses a local variable. I stepped through it in JDeveloper and saw the execute of the update and commit statements and in params' values and the local variable's value, but the row will not be updated! If I changed the where clause to use literal values (303 and '1045225') and the set clause to use 3, then it works. If params and a variable are used for these three values, the row does not get updated! And when I added the dbms_output.put_line to print out the param's value and the variable value, they are all there! Here is the code:

and here is the test script in SQL*Plus:

     QueueID number;
     StatusDesc varchar2(30);
     PK varchar2(30);
begin
     action := 'STATUSUPDATE';
     QueueID := 303;
     StatusDesc := 'PROCESSED';
     PK := '1045225';
     sprocTestUpdate(action, QueueID, StatusDesc, PK);
end;
thanks.

Ghulam, this is what I was talking about:
<<
StatusID := 3;
if Action = 'STATUSUPDATE' then
update QueuePublish
set StatusID = StatusID,
attemptcount = attemptcount + 1
where queueid = 303 and PK = '1045225';
commit;
dbms_output.put_line(to_char(StatusID) || ' For ' || to_char(QueueID));
end if;
and it won't update! but if I say set StatudID = 3 it will work!
>>
might be better to do :
L_STATUSID := 3 ;
ste STATUS_ID = :L_STATUSID
...otherwise you are just replacing STATUSID by itself,
poor RDBMS-engine doesn't know what StatusId you are talking about

Really strange cluster isolation problem....

We are still using Coherence 3.6.0 and is experiencing a really strange problem with two test clusters:
Cluster 1 uses wka a.b.c.d:9000 and cluster name "cluster1"
Cluster 2 uses wka e.f.g.h:9000 and cluster name "cluster2"
I can using JMX and log files see that both clusters have started successfully with node 1 (the single wka) using port 9000.
A client program first connects successfully to cluster 1 (using cluster 1 wka and cluster name as above). After the program terminate the same client program is run again this time versus cluster 2 (using cluster 2 wka and cluster name as above) but this time the connection is refused and to our total surprise the error message indicates that the Cluster 1 wka node a.b.c.d:9000 has refused connection and that the cluster name should be "Cluster 1"!!!!!!! We have checked and re-checked that the right combination of wka and cluster name (for cluster 2) is specified on the command line the second time....
Short of a DNS configuration problem (we are in fact using server names rather than physical IPs in the command line overrides) that would resolve the two wka node names to the same physical IP I cant see any solution (not involving woodo, alien intervention and/or the Bermuda triangle) to this behaviour. I actually tried pinging the two host names and could see that they indeed resolved to different IPs to eliminate this, unlikely but possible, problem...
It is my understanding that when specifying a unique wka for two clusters there is no need to set up unique multicast addresses / ports (since multicast is not at all used in this case) - can somebody confirm that this is indeed true or if this could have anything to do with our problem?!
Any suggestions or ideas (in addition to hiring a shaman to exorcise our servers :-)) are warmly appreciated...

After studying the problem more in detail I have come to the conclusion that this indeed seem to be a bug in Coherence 3.6.0. It does however not occur with 3.6.1 or 3.7.0 but if the problem is unknown I would have checked it out...
The problem is really easy to reproduce. Create two clusters (can be single storage node, local or remote does not matter) each with a unique WKA port (of course).
Execute a simple client program (non storage enabled) first against the one cluster then against the other. The program I used just looked up a cache ("near-test") and printed its size (in this case zero since I never loaded anything into the cluster).
You don't need to enable pof or anything specia. The cache-config iin the coherence.jar works fine. I have tested this both on distributed clusters on Linux and locally on a single Windows box.
You will notice that the program works against the first cluster but fails when run against the second.

Ethernet Port is acting really strange?

So I am having the hardest time coming up with a solution to a really strange problem I'm having.
Day One: My ethernet port just stopped noticing when it was connected to a internet connection. I did a restart, PRAM reset, anything that I could think of. Nothing worked. I made an appointment to the Genius Bar and the same problem was happening there.
So they booted up a new image of OSX on a thumb drive and ethernet port was working! So the Genius bar guy removed all my preferences/network .plist files from MY OSX and everything was back to normal.
So we know this isn't a hardware issue.
Next day: No more ethernet, Again...
I did the same proceedure that the Genius bar did. No result. WHAT THE DUCE? I still didn't have an ethernet port.
I then reinstalled OSX, to get a clean state. Ethernet is back and working normally. All good.
Next day: Ethernet port "works" but is selective on which one it wants to use.
I work in two different offices.
At the first office. The port next to my desk doesn't work when I connect. Another person can plug in (with same cord or different chord and get internet access) no issues. I can go two feet over and plug in there and the ethernet port recognizes it is plugged in and I revieve internet.
At the second office, the cubicle I reside in has 4 ethernet ports. All four work for other people. Only 2 work for me.
WHAT THE DUCE is going on? Can anyone help me with this?

Along the same vein, after resetting the PRAM and SMC, try turning all security off: no firewall, enable all apps and turn FileVault off if in use. Not advocating a "go stroll naked in the rough side of town", but rather to try and confirn that those components have no bearing on the issue. Do enable all you use immediately after.
