Strange error in T5220 : drive offline when using command format

Hi guys,
I just add a new disk(SEAGATE ST914602SSUN146G0603) to the serveur T5220, using OS solaris 10 with patch level juin 2012. unfortunetly the OS look one disk at disk unknow type. so when I use format I get this output:

please can anyone help me in this issue?

Drive offline can be due to hardware failure, patche updates, firmware and etc.
Check cfgadm -al whether connection shows configured. I recently had this error in our M4000 and got some hardware replacement. If you have a contract with Oracle, send them the explorer and check with them.

Flash crashing when using Command + Option + S for Scale and Rotate?

Flash crashing when using Command + Option + S for Scale and Rotate?
It's happening to me when I use those hotkeys
Please let me know if it's happening to you too.
I don't know the cause but I need a fix.
I'm using Adobe FLASH cs6 for Mac
My computer:
Mac mini
Mid 2011
Software OS X 10.8.1 (12B19)
-Line

With all due respect to your totally coindescending reply, this is a bug in Flash. Happens every 4-5 times I use that menu item. Been happening for months, but we just installed a Brand new iMac (1/13). Quadcore 3.4 16G RAM and 1TB Fusion drive. Fresh install of CS6. Not running any other 3rd Party Software. Problem STILL happens in new Flash docs with small, simple vector Graphics.
So instead of blaming the users computers, how about you guys just fix the effin' problem? Thanks.

When I use OCI_UTF16ID in OCIEnvNlsCreate it gives me an error in OCISessionBegin. But when I use 871(utf8) instead it works properly. Why does this happen? How can I work whit OCI_UTF16ID?

Re: OCIObjectSetAttr() and UTF16 environnement might be of interest, even though it's a little different. Still relates to UTF16 though. --DD

Error in Acrobat 9.0 when using png prediction for flatedecode filter

Hi,
I am creating a PDF using png prdiction and Acrobat 9.0 shows the following error: "insufficient data for an image". The same PDF doesn't show error when using Acrobat 7.0 or any other application to view it. A typical code is as following:
"10 0 obj <</Length 7100038/Filter FlateDecode/DecodeParms<</BitsPerComponenet 8/Colors 4/columns 1103/Rows 1000/Predictor 15>>....etc."
Does anyone have idea what can be the problem & how can I solve it???
Thanks
Ilana Keydar

Attached is another PDF which I have added png prediction to the flatedecode
filter of the images in order to get better compression. This file can't be
open at all using Acrobat 9.0, but can be viewed using other PDF tools.
I have also uploaded another PDF to the forum.
I hope you can help me

Error 1327.invalid drive: C:\ when trying to install

My computer crashed a while back and when I set up the new drive, the new root drive is "G:\" instead of "C:\". how can I get palm software to setup on "G"? if that is what I need to do.
Post relates to: Palm m500

What to do
You can use the "subst" DOS command to substitute the drive letter C: for the actual system drive.
Determine the drive letter of your system drive. If you did not set up your computer yourself, you may need to contact your IT department or a PC expert for help.
Close all running application on your PC, including the Palm Desktop installation wizard.
From the Windows Start menu, select Run.
Type cmd and click OK. Note: if you are using Windows 98 or 95, type command instead.
The command window appears. Type subst c: {system drive letter}:\ where {system drive letter} is the drive letter of the bootable or system drive on your Windows PC. For example, if your system drive is P:, the command would look like subst c: p:\
Hit Enter.
Close the command window.
Install the Palm Desktop software. It should work now.

"Server Busy" error in Crystal Reports XI when using date picker

Hi,
I have come across an issue whereby I get a error pop up when using the date picker to select a date parameter as I run a report from within Crystal Report XI on a particular PC. While I am able to type in the date using the yyyy-mm-dd format, selecting the date picker displays an error message titled "Server Error" stating that the program is not responding and giving options "Switch To" and "Retry". Selecting either button displays the same error message and need to kill the application from the Task Manager to restart.
I have run the same report from other PCs (including using the date picker to pick a date parameter) without the error popping up. All of the PCs have the same version of the application.
Has anyone come across this and how were you able to resolve it?

yes test is a formula that i used to calculate a difference
that should work, but i would put () around the
(if(remainder(({ztrptActVol.CPT}*{tlkpBblMileage.CPT}),1)>0 and
remainder(({ztrptActVol.CPT}*{tlkpBblMileage.CPT}),1)<1) then
truncate(({ztrptActVol.CPT}*{tlkpBblMileage.CPT}))+1
else ({ztrptActVol.CPT}*{tlkpBblMileage.CPT})
rounding in crystal is a pain in the &&

Strange LAV applications open in mass when using after effects? + other

Hey guys, when i use after effect tones of little LAV Splitters and Decoders open;
How do i get rid of this and what does it affect?
OTHER: also sometimes i when i play back clips in after effect, the clips jumps 5 frames forward then 5 frames back randomly, really anoying and all compostion and clips are 29.97 fps :/ (this usally occurs after , after effects has been opened for a while and move of these LAV icons appear? coinsidence?)
Thanks a lot for your help,
Eggy

- version : CS5.5 update 10.5.1.2
- no recent updates
- Windows 7 64bit service pack 1
- CPU: i7-2600k, 12gb ram, Crossfired radeon HD6870, 2x 1TB internatin HDD
- AMD CCC 13.11
- Third party hardware: Twixtor
- footage recorded with x264vfw - H.264 codec into .AVI file and rendered as H.264
-N/a
-I have been editng for around 5 hours and when i RAM preview my clips the fps jumps back and forth and very unfluid (after having told after effects that the file is 29.97fps and not 25fps) I was thinking this might occure with all the LAV things opening when using after effects..
- yes quicktime is installed 7.6.2
- other software running: google chrome
-Twixtor effects installed
- not using openGL
-The problem only occures when i RAM preview, i tried rendering and the clips was fine, but i cant edit with constant fps jumps backwards and forwards.
VIDEO EXAMPLE:
in preview RAM as it goes up the stairs and around the corner it jumps a lot of frame for some reason, i also showed the orignal clip just to show that it is smooth.

Kernel panic when using FAT formatted external storage

I have a PowerBook G4 17" with 1GB RAM and since updating to 10.4.8 from 10.4.7 I have received on three occasions a kernel panic, i.e. a message that says "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the Restart button."
Looking at the conditions under which this event occured, on all three occasions, this looks to be disk I/O related using external drives however the cause could be something else like Spotlight indexing for example - I am hoping this is not hardware.
On the occasions where the problem has occured the attached storage devices have been:
1. A FAT formatted, bus powered Firewire attached 2.5" IDE drive
2. A FAT formatted PC Card drive
I had this happen to me last night with the PC card drive when I found I couldn’t delete any data from the drive but could write and overwrite data. My internal IDE drive seems to be fine however I decided to eject the drive and reinsert it but on reinsertion the system could not see or mount it. I then tried a FAT formatted CF card with PC Card reader/adapter – same thing, it wouldn’t mount. I then decided it was time to reboot and that is when the message popped up as the transparent grey bitmap (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106227). After rebooting I got a kernel error stack trace telling me something bad happened hence the reboot. This thread seems to be very similar to my problem except with a new Intel version of the 17":
http://forums.macnn.com/90/mac-os-x/312947/what-does-mean-when/
Any ideas? In all cases this has occured when using an external FAT formatted drive and actively writing data to it - it doesn't seem to matter how it is attached or specifically which drive it is. I have not had this problem previously when using external storage media and I am not using any backup software when this occurs - I am simply saving files from various applications be it PhotoShop or a Safari download. One last note, I am using Intego VirusBarrier X4.
Right now my plan will be to run the disk utility, disable anti-virus and possibly disable indexing on external drives and try to reproduce the issue - the only problem with this is with the exception of the 10.4.8 update, what changed?
PowerBook G4 17" 1.33Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.8) 1GB RAM

Funnily enough I can backup to my USB attached bus powered 2.5" drive formatted as Mac OS Extended, this is why I am wondering if there is a relationship between externally attached FAT formatted storage and kernel panics.
My system disk checks out with no errors BTW - I also rarely travel with my PowerBook so it is relatively well looked after and should have a lower exposure to issues relating to faulty hardware.

Alert sound when using Command Cut, Copy

Hi there
I have what seems to be a strange but recurring problem on a particular website where I have to edit a lot of text and keywords around. I'm using an Apple Macbook running on 10.7.4, but also regularly use an iMac on 10.5.11, and on both computers whenever I use Command + Cut, Copy or Paste I have to endure my alert sound over and over again.
I know I could simply mute my volume but it's very frustrating and I'd simply like to know why it's happening.
I have posted in the forum of the website I'm using and no other Mac users have this problem.
If it's a Command key problem why is it specific to the website I'm using? The alert sound doesn't happen repeatedly when I'm Command + Cutting, Copying or Pasting in any other application.
It doesn't seem to be a problem with this website because no other users are reporting this.
I came across a similar forum discussion here but after running Repair Disk Permissions the problem isn't solved.
Any ideas would be much appreciated!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The Guest login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

NFS Sharing Tab is not found..NFS sharing provisioning fails with error....NFS sharing using command fails in windows 2008 r2

NFS server is so weak (especially for 2008 R2) and keeping in mind you run that all hosted by VMware ESXi the best thing you can do is to get rid of using Windows as a NFS server completely and spawn a FreeBSD or Linux VM with a decent and recent version
of Samba.

Justification property is not working when using a format mask

Hi all,
I have a text item with number data type and right to left reading order,
I put the justification property to right.
I used a format mask to set two decimal places for the entered number.
The problem is the justification property is not aligning right, I noticed that it's aligning right only if i removed the format mask or changed the reading order to (left to right).
I hope there is a solution for this
Thanks

Format mask and justification will not work for Non english character sets.
To support bidirectional languages such as Arabic, do not use Left or
Right justification (numeric text items can use Right justification). Use
Start and End instead.

Error (IES 10901) (WIS 10901) when using Excel 2010 file as data source..

Hello,
I have a annoying issue with using an excel 2010 file as a data source for a universe. Here is the background information.
Setup.
Client: Laptop running Win XP 32bit, Client tools installed with SP2 v9 (latest)
Server: Win 2008 x64, BOE 4.0 SP2 v9 (latest)
Task:
1. On Client, with information design tool, created Project, DB Connection, Data foundation using an excel source on a share
server\share\data.xlsx
2.. Published everything to Repository
3. Try to load univerise in Web Intelligence via creating a new report. I Drag accross the dimensions. When i go to preview data recieve error
Database error: [Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] External table is not in the expected format.. (IES 10901) (WIS 10901)
4. If i change the excel file to a 2003 format *.xls it all works correctly. Issue being that 2003 cannot hold as much data as a 2010 file so i need to use 2010.
Extra Notes:
1. Both the client and server have the latest Access drivers http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=13255
2. Both client and server have a system DSN setup using the 32bit ODBC, same DSN names to the network share.
3. The data excel source sits on the server on a share.
4. I am believing that the isssue is within the area of BOE as when you connect to the excel file via ODBC using crystal 2011, you need to right click on the connection and tick "System Tables" to be able to use the excel 2010 file. The BOE Information design tool does not seem to have this option??
Any advice with this would be great?
thanks
david
