RSD...just stops on its own?

So about a month ago the dreaded RSD started happening to my macbook. I tried several times to make appointments to see a "Genius" at my apple store, however unless I wanted 11am or 1130am on any day I tried...I couldnt get in, and forget any times on the weekends...so I gave up, hoping apple would somehow solve this and give us all the answer ( hoping it was software based), then they said to call applecare as their "answer"...I cant get along with out my macbook, as I use it for my photography business, so sending it in, not an option. Then I noticed something in the last 2 plus weeks...it hasnt happened...at all, and ive rebooted a couple times, though I think maybe only twice...and nothing, no more RSD in the last 2 weeks.
Anyone else have this happen...am I being to optomisitic??

Mine started RSD for the first time, after 4 months of use, a week ago last Tuesday. Two of them, nothing more until today. But I wouldn't count today because it happened strictly in the context of the computer hanging up when coming out of sleep.
I'm not convinced that there aren't two different causes, one hardware and one software/firmware for two different problems that have the same symptoms. Might it explained why fixed MacBooks come back and then unfix themselves.
But if it's not in firmware, or you're version of the problem isn't in firmware, you're going to have to send it in eventually. Try and plan a vacation for it and notify your clients; hopefully you can limp along without too much RSD inconvenience for long enough to get things straightened out for your MacBook repair vacation.
And for the last time RSD is misnomer. Sudden is fine, if everybody like to use that. But these are not RANDOM. They are intermittent. A certain set of criteria are met and the computer shuts down without the user directing it do so or without the existence of an emergency condition that would cause the computer for its own shut down. But they only appear random; they are not.

SOA Server 11g (Weblogic instance) stopping on its own on Windows 2003 OS

Hi,
I am running SOA Server 11g (Weblogic instance) on Windows 2003 OS. The machine has 4 GB RAM and 1.8 GH CPU. The SOA Server (Java process) and Weblogic Admin Servers are stopping on its own. There are lo errors in the server log files. Please suggest if you have faces similar issues. I have installes Oracle Weblogic 11g and SOA Suite 11g on this machine. The same software runs fine on Windows XP OS.
Thanks
Subho

Can you please provide more information:
1. Which version of Windows Server 2003? 32 bit or 64 bit version?
2. Which exact version of Weblogic and SOA Suite have you installed?
3. How long do the servers run before they shutdown(do they even start properly before going down)?
4. Make the stdout go to the server log and then see if you can find any errors.
To do that you need to go to following under domain structure tree:
Environment>Servers>{your admin server name} page
in Logging tab, advanced section, Put a checkmark against following:
Redirect stdout logging enabled
Redirect stderr logging enabled
Save and activate and then restart the server. This will log the JVM log information to the weblogic server log and hopefully you will be able to identify the issue.

I have this problem were my iphone just reboots on its own

I have recently upgraded to io6 and my iphone 4 cdma started rebooting on its own. I took it to a store and they said to take the battery out because it was overheating. So now i lay with a iphone without a battery. Is there any way were i can take it to the apple store so they can fix it?

Check your mouse configuration, if you have a Mighty Mouse, one configuration is to have the side buttons launch Dashboard (widgets) or click the scroll wheel for example.

IPhone 3G Severe battery loss stopped on its own today

My iPhone 3G had some serious battery loss starting very late Friday / early Saturday and continuing through the weekend (9/19-9/20). Running the latest iTunes and firmware updates, etc. Happened to notice my service randomly switching back and forth between 3G and Edge during the morning of 9/20. Battery completely dead this morning 9/21 after charging 8 hours yesterday.
Today the battery has shown 100% all day and into the night after charging for a couple hours this morning. Other iPhone users have reported the same experience to me here North of Seattle.
My very amateur guess is AT&T messing around with their network was at fault.
Thanks for the "great servicing" AT&T. Please Sir, may I have it again?

I don't get the concept of having to turn off a bevy of things ( http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html ) to get the iPhone to work PROPERLY and how it should work. Turn off 3G, turn off this, don't check multiple emails, etc... They built this hardware to do all this, so why not put a battery in it that can handle it?
I have a Blackberry 8830 and I do not have to turn off anything to get it to last more than a day. In fact, it lasts about 6 days of normal use on a single charge. I have to have my iPhone on a charge the entire day just to get it through one day.

HT5824 my ipad disabled after I closed it. I turned it on said ipad is disabled? Since 10S7 this has been an ongoing problem. I have not even touched the password it just disables on its own

My Ipad was disabled after I turned it off. I turned it back on 'ipad is disabled' connect to ITunes!
Why would it disable afer turning it off. I did not have a password issue. Not even once.
I have not synced on Itunes on my system sincen this Ipad was synced at the Apple Store.
Is there a way to connect on my pc to my Ipad from Icloud and restore my Ipad without loosing
everything? Or do I need to reset yet again. This would be the fourth time starting from scratch!
I had been Ipad replaced recently due to numerous problems with IOS7 including bluetooth problems
with my keyboard, freezing - crazy making issues and most importantly I lost all data on my pages
app and all contacts etc. and my ipad disabled itself after begin turned off!
Now with the new one, my same problem! What is going on? What am I not getting.
Prior to I0s& my Ipad performed beautifully. Now I do not feel I can trust this technology.
Any ideas?

Read this Apple Discussion Thread and possible solutions. The audio jack has been the main culprit, also certain sync and automation settings including connected remotes.

Shuts down on its own

Ive had this problem only happy twice but i didnt find no
solution to itself and just stopped on its own. Now it has come
back to haunt me, it happens every single time i try to open a
folder, or when i insert a picture the folder will open and then
just close itself and DW will quit. I had about 20 images to insert
and it wouldnt work so I had to manually add them.
I also tried installing the DW 8 updater maybe that would
work but didnt. Any solutions, common problem ect..?? Thanks

No, you shouldn't have to upgrade. Are you using DW8.02?

HT203171 Macbook pro trackpad not responsive, opening apps on it's own, moving screens on its own, help!

Hi, I've been having a few issues with the trackpad, mostly with clicks lately. Today the cursor went rogue and started opening all sorts of programs and files, moving to different screens and opening things there, generally going crazy and not responding when I tried to use it. I rebooted several times before it decided to stop on its own -- I'm not sure the reboot had anything to do with it. I took a video of it with my ipod, but it's too big to upload here. Any suggestions before I open cocktail and and run repairs? Thanks for any help you can offer.

My Macbook Pro started to experience the very same erratic behaviour. At first I noticed that it would happen if the MBP was on a flat tabletop surface. If I placed the MBP on my lap, the magic pad seemed to operate properly. It was very consistent. Since this is a capacitative surface, I tried an experiment. I placed the MBP on a tabletop surface where it's exhibited the malfunction. Then I used my other hand on the flat surface areas near the magic pad while using my right hand to manipulate the cursor. It appears that touching the casing with my other hand seemed to calm down the erratic behaviour. When I used only one hand, the erratic behaviour returned.
I'd searched several forums to no avail. No one seemed to have a solution or an explanation so I just lived with it.
However, by coincidence, I was experiencing what I believed was an unrelated issue. One of my USB ports was no longer responding to devices plugged into that port. While searching for a solution for the USB port, I stumbled across a post where the user suggested resetting the SMC. I'd never heard of that before this post. In his post, he mentioned that erratic Magic Pad behaviour could also be caused by the SMC.
He instructed to
1. Attach the MagSafe power cord
2. Power off the MacBook Pro
3. Press the L-Shift/Control/Option and Power button at the same time and hold.
4. Release them all at the same time
5. Then power on the MacBook Pro
Not only did my USB regain functionality, but it appears to have resolved my erratic Magic Pad behaviour. It now operates as it had done when new.
For reference, I'm using a MacBook Pro 13" with the Intel I3 processor and Lion.
I hope that helps somebody else as it did for me.

Why is my ipod touch freaking out! tapping on its own

My ipod is randomaly opeing stuff in the application i am on like i was on safari it was going back and opening article on its own. has any one encountered this before i think its rare. It just taps on its own. I have done restore reset everything its definitly hardware. Has anyone fixed this by replacing the digitizer. Or is it somthing more serious.

Tap Settings / Safari. Clear the History, Cookies, and Cache.
Restart your iPod. Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPod touch. To turn iPod touch back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
If that didn't make a difference, restore the iPod as new.
How to set up your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch as a new device
Could be one of the third party apps is causing the erratic behavior.
After you restore as new re sync 5 apps at a time, then test the iPod.

Drives just stop with new Xserve raid

I have just set up a new Xserve on 10.4.5 with 2 x 400 gig drives.The raid has been set up by the book twice and the drives were formated aswell, the problem is that after the raid is set up i then test it by copying lots of data to it from various machine across the network and after about 10 gigs of copying the drives just stop, on their own(not in a raid) the drives work fine.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks
Matt

Hello, Diego Arana and welcome to the AppleBoards,
+I don´t know what OS the Xserve RAID has, I just know that it is the first one.+
The Xserve RAID has no operating system on it. It is essentially a very fancy external hard drive that attaches over fibre channel. It does a firmware version that can be updated but that is the closest thing to an OS that it has. (Unless you're adding drives you can probably leave that alone.) The XRAID is controlled over either of the ethernet ports using the RAID Admin program - if you don't have a copy download it from Apple's support site.
+Is it possible to connect a New MacPro (Early 2009) to a Xserve RAID (RAID 720G/4DRIVE/2X2GB FC) via fiber channel?+
Yes, I have done this and it is straightforward. The fibre will negotiate down to 2GB, of course, but it does just work. If you're talking about the Apple shipped fibre card it is (at least in the states) shipped with SFP connectors that match the SFP connectors that are on the Xserve RAID and you just use the copper cabling (not the optical fibre) to connect them unless you are going a very long distance. If you order the card (again in the states) with Xserve the copper cables are included when they ship it.
If you do have optical connections you can buy optical to copper/SFP converters. I have several of these on my fibre switch and they are not more complicated than adding the adaptor and plugging them in - at least on the fibre switch. I have never actually hooked up an XRAID to optical fibre but this is pretty common in XSAN environments with longer "cable" runs.
HTH,

Podcasts Just Stop When Downloading

I've tried to work around this by downloading one podcast at a time. This has not helped at all. I'm using a 3 Mbps connection and I can download from other sites on the internet at 390KBps. The podcast will be downloading at a high rate of speed and suddenly it just stops. Its been like this for 3 weeks. If I try downloading the file again it starts from the beginning but will eventually stop before it gets to the end of the download. If I keep trying 99% of the time the download will freeze up. I have the latest version of itunes, 6.0.1.3. I've formated my hard drive and reinstalled an earlier version of itunes, ver. 4.9 but the same thing happens with this version as well.
Does anybody know how to fix this problem?

I noticed that when I used Odeo's downloader, a seperate program from itunes it downloaded podcasts without any problem.
However, when I removed the downloader and switched to the alternate method of downloading from Odeo, using the intergrated itune option, the podcasts now stop ownloading before its completed. Since its using the same sources as before then it seems that something is blocking the download after it starts. So the problem exists with itunes.
Is itunes stoping the download itself or is something stoping itunes from downloading? Heres the thing. When I was using version 4.9 and version 5 I had no problem. Then the video ipod came out and this is when I started having this problem. I was using version 5 at that point and I thought that maybe I should be using version 6. Maybe I needed to have that but that didn't work either. So I formated the computer. With nothing else on the computer and the windows firewall switched off. I installed itunes ver 4.9 from my original installation cd and tried to download podcasts. The pocasts were stoping during the download. 4.9 didn't have this problem before.
So the issue is not the version of itunes but itunes itself. The sources work fine in other programs like Odeo and Doppler. Some people who are using the same program as me are not having any problems at all. So why is it happing to selected users consistently who previously not having this problem. I have not modified the computer or equipment. itunes 4.9 used to work great but now doesn't work.
This has been going on for about a month now and i'm pi__ed off. I'm blaming Apple. Many of there customers are having this problem and thay have said and done NOTHING.

Automator to run on its own

Is there a way to tell automator to "Run" the script with out me having to click "Run"? I basically just want automator to open the script, run the script, and close by itself. I have figured out how to do all but tell it to run on its own. Thank you in advance
Andrew

What I have done is this:
Created a script to copy three folders on my desktop to my idisk drive and then it will automatically close Automator.
I placed the script in my startup items so it will run daily. The only thing I am having issues with is that when the script loads I have to click "Run" for the script to run. What I was wondering if there is a way for the script to just run on its own when it is lunched. Here is my overall goal of what it should do without me having to do anything.
1. OSX opens script during log on. (Solved)
2. Automator runs script on its won. (Unsolved)
3. Automator closes script. (Solved)

Rebooting on its own, return it?

Hello all, My Satellite Pro A200-EZ2204X works fine for a while, but will then just reboot on its own. I have reinstalled the OS, drivers, and software twice but it keeps happening after a while. I don't think it is my software because it is all "name brand" stuff from big companies. This is still new, should I return it?

Most likely the software or hardware you installed caused the problem. Getting it replaced with another then loading the same software and hardware/drivers on it likey will cause the same problem. So better to try to figure out what the real cause is. Try doing another recovery process but don't install your hardware or software, instead test it until you are sure it is working fine. Then install one new thing at a time and test after each step. When you find the problem, call the manufacturer of that problem, or do a google search for the problem and the product name as it is likely others have had the same problem.
