Strange happenings with Quicksilver 766MHz

Hello,
We've started having problems with several Quicksilver 766MHz macs in our labs.
The Symptoms:
1) Machine starts to boot up, then all of a sudden it's like someone's pulled out the kettle lead.
2) Occasionally, these machines manage to boot. But, take out the USB cable for the keyboard and it instantly shuts down.
Other strange symptoms:
Well, just repeating myself really. If it does boot up, if you pull out the keyboard USB lead then it will trigger the immediate shut down!!!*.
Things we're tried:
Removed all RAM, tried them one by one.
Swapped the PSU with a 'known good machine' (or was it a 'known good machine'? It's a long filthy job swapping PSUs).
Reset the motherboard.
Tried to ZAP the PRAM - at that point the machine wasn't getting any further than a couple of seconds into booting.
Checked graphics cards and all cables inside etc.
The battery is working because, i think, if it wasn't then it would get to do it's initial chime (most times it will chime, then power down, but sometimes it can't even be bothered to do that).
Searched archives. Found one thing where this guy was having similar problems, except that it wasn't booting at all, the On button would just glow. But i haven't found any information on this strange symptom involving the USB cable:
http://lists.apple.com/archives/macos-x-server/2005/Sep/msg00220.html
This general troubleshooting link from apple:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=95055
Other info:
The latest 3 machines behaving in this way were moved to another location and when they got there they were in this state.
The environment we're testing them in is not over heating them. They've dealt with far warmer conditions in the past.
A number of these machines, which were all purchased at the same time, have started behaving in this way
Any thoughts most welcome. Thanks in advance,
C
G4 Quicksilver 766MHz Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Hi, I've seen some occasional flakiness with the USB ports on my QS 2001. I believe that the USB ports just don't provide enough juice to run many peripherals off, so my suggestion would be to make sure that you use powered hubs for anything more than a keyboard, and if you use a keyboard with a port installed (Kensington's Keyboard-in-a-Box is one such), hang only one more device off of it.
Occasionally heat damage can be irreversible, and it sounds like you're experiencing some of the symptoms here as well. Just for grins, have you tried running the machines with the case open? The battery is also a symptom of all kinds of mischief. I'd replace that it in just one computer to see if it made a difference.
HTH,

Strange happenings with the OS X mail...

While I'm presently using the latest Mavericks edition, I've noticed the follow strange behavior with the immediate previous OS X versions as well.
When I'm sending an email and have NO other outbound email waiting to go, I see various numbers of outbound emails in the lower activity section. For example, I can be sending one email and the activity window says there are any number going out. A few minutes ago I saw 11 going out, but the number seems to vary from 5 to maybe 15 outbound emails.
I see the same indication with incoming emails. The counter may say 15 or some other number of inbound emails when I actually receive far less.
I'm wondering why this is, especially with the outbound email number being several more than I'm actually sending. There is no indication in the "sent" folder other than the primary email(s) I've sent.
The short version of this is could I have a virus that is sending data to someone I don't know? Other than OS X mail, I've never seen this happen when using Windows.
Can anyone explain why this is happening?

It sounds like a counter variable isn't being reset. You get this quite a lot in software where there is a loop counter that the programmer likes to use (I use i,j and k habitually) and if the counter isn't set in some kind of automatic fashion then each time you run through the loop it increments over and over. Whoever is managing the bug fixes at Apple has probably given this a priority 4 or lower and so it will never be fixed.
I think the takeaway message is that this is probably not as big a worry as it looks. I too thought I might be sending buckets of emails as part of a botnet. The fact that it resets when you restart the whole thing makes me think it is just what is above.
Do actual Apple employees ever look at or respond to the things that people post in these threads? It would be useful to know if it is a known bug or not.

Strange happenings with text and links

I am not very tech savy so be gentle. I have a blog on iweb. Today I posted and there is something going awry with my text. In a certain part it is hazy and stretched when you mouse over it the mouse pointer turns to a link. Very strange as I didn't place a link there.
Also, as a side note, I was wondering how I would make my blog more noticed? Is there a way to make it search engine friendly, or are there any boards I can post it on?
if it would be helpful here is a link to the blog:
http://web.mac.com/hottee295/iWeb/Site%202/Blog/E4A931A9-D343-4CE2-9259-1F759532 5E09.html

Are you sure you didn't make a hyperlink there? The link goes to...
http://www.sewneau.com/how.to/flat.felled.seam.html
...which seems in keeping with the subject matter of your site.
Anyways, look again in iWeb and make sure you did not inadvertantly put a hyperlink for the involved text. Otherwise, this stretched out text is usually indicative of a corruption of your link image. It's nothing to worry about as it is easily remedied by a "Publish All to .Mac" command.
As far as getting your site indexed, you are doing the right thing by posting your URL here. It's a step in the right direction. Give it some time. You can also submit your iWeb URL here...
http://www.google.com/addurl
Just submit: http://web.mac.com/hottee295/iWeb/
That should be sufficient.

Strange happenings with examples from Tom Kyte's book. 10 XE

Hi all,
I was twiddling my thumbs and decided to brush up on some of Oracle's fundamentals.
Tom Kyte's book - Effective Oracle by Design. Examples on pp. 141 - 142 (to do with
bind variables). Typed in the example and obtained a very strange system reaction.
It consists of a package "DEMO_141_PKG" with 1 procedure "parse_bind_execute_close"
which is called by the procedure QUICKFIX142.. The system then proceeds to go mental.
If anybody could explain to me what's going on, I would be grateful. I'm running 10 XE on
Ubuntu Linux.
On running the code (below) I get this in the "Run" window of SQLDeveloper.
Connecting to the database demo.
ORA-01000: maximum open cursors exceeded
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SYS_SQL", line 884

ORA-06512: at "DEMO.QUICKFIX142", line 8
ORA-06512: at line 2And the logging window of SQLDevloper just shows a continuous
stream of the text below - I have to kill the sessions as SYS from

doesn't manage to kill this runaway process.

Strange happenings with my Fonts

A real mystery. If I'm creating a batch "text" for a number of files the strangest thing happens. I have to change 10 files all with the same or very close to the same pixel size. In this case 1024Lx . I want to insert a "copyright" text across the image. I create the action, that includes: text, text size of18pts and opacity. and then batch. The resulting font sizes are very unenven. They are all show up in the individual files as 18 pt but some are invisiblley small some are gigantically large and some are just right. And my name's not Goldilocks.
I've tried this on PS3 and PS6 with the same results.
Any suggestions on getting this to work correctly.
Thanks!

Photoshop is a complex program and it takes time to acquire the knowledge to use it well. While action are easy to record you need some knowledge skill and practice to record an action the will well on any document.
Dealing with size is not easy in actions. Size can be handled better using Photoshop Scripting. However scrpting is not easy. So I put together a little package on crafting actions which include my take on dealing with image size.
The package also includes a dozen scripts I wrote to be use in actions to help action do some thing they can not do on their own.

Strange happenings with 4.1.185

Since moving to 4.1.185 I've started seeing a lot of these messages in my log:
MAX_EAP_IE_RETRIES_REACHED: Reached Max EAP-Identity Request retries (21) for STA00:19:7e:42:a4:fc
AND
Oct 15 14:31:01.055 dtl_net.c:1210 DTL-1-ARP_POISON_DETECTED: STA [00:11:f5:1b:93:15, 0.0.0.0] ARP (op 1) received with invalid SPA 172.XX.XXX.XXX/TPA 172.XX.XXX.X
I also get some clients that, although still connected to the AP, aren't able to ping their gateway or get anywhere else. The have to do a "repair" with Windows WZC to get working again. Anyone got any ideas?

What is happening is that the clients are trying to do an authentication request. That request is proxied and handed up to the authentication authority (RADIUS). If the the controller does not get the response in the alotted time it will resend the request. After a certain number of requests it will fail giving you this error. The default setting for this response time is 2 seconds. Two seconds in not enough time for the transaction to take place in several different EAP configurations. Cisco suggests you move to 12 but I agree with the other poster. 30 is good number. This is quite frequently the problem when users have to type in a name and password. I am betting that when you upgraded code it reset the value for EAP timeouts back to 2 seconds. That is probably why you are seeing it now.

G4 PowerMac
Dual 1.42 GHz processor
GB DDR SDRAM
OS X 10.4.11
Strange happenings with my beastie! Recently switching on to network my home set up and anticipating the perennial problem this G4 has in holing configurations, I opened system preferences. But instead of seeing the usual icons representing features in the various categories, the majority look like dog eared pages nailed to a board with pins top left and bottom right and a mini icon over the left bottom; the top right corner forming the dog ear? How do I change them back - and what has happened to cause this? I mean, I haven’t altered any settings; the only chore this mac is used for is down loading images from my camera and maybe exporting them across my network.

At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.

Strange Problems With Display and Permissions Since 10.5.1 update.

Since I've done the 10.5.1 update I have been having a strange problem with my desktop and dock displays. On my desktop I have these strange lines that appear any time I log in or open any application, the lines never go away and change locations on the screen once I open an application or move a window. My dock has the reflective shelf for about half of it, the rest is a dull grey. I've also had problems with verifying and repairing my permissions. I can never actually complete either permissions task. I've used some third party apps, they always fail as well. The only time I can actually repair my permissions is by booting in to single user mode and doing a fsck -f command. When I boot back in to Leopard and try to use the Disk Utility to repair, it continues to fail.
I'm not sure if the video problem I am having stems from a permissions issue or possibly a corrupt video driver. Either way, I've done a lot research and haven't found anyone with the same problems I have been having so I thought I would give these forums a shot.
I am using a PowerMac G4 Quicksilver with dual 800Mhz, 1.5gb RAM, and a GeForce4 Ti 4600 128mb video card.
Here is a screen shot of the line and dock problem.
Here is a screen shot of my "About This Mac.
If anyone could lend some light on this issue, I would greatly appreciate it.

Strange synchronisation with iOS6

Recently I updated my iPhone 4S with iOS6.
I am downloading apps via my PC and then synchronising to my iPhone.
There are some strange happenings since the upgrade:
Whenever I do the synchronisation it gets stuck at the end on the "Finishing Synchronisation". If I switched the iTunes off, all is synchronised.
On my iPhone I have Viber application. This does not show in my iTunes, so I cannot update the app.
Is this a bug in the software?

The YouTube app is not included in iOS 6. You will either need to try one of the YouTube apps from the store (there is an iPhone optimised app from google, and other people have said that they are working on an iPad version), or try accessing the mobile version via Safari : http://m.youtube.com (you can create a home screen shortcut for the site)

Strange issue with WEBI schedule Report

Hi All,
I have a strange issue with schedule WEBI reports, a schedule report runs for Hours , i reschedule it again by deleting the instance and the schedule report never got succeed even after running for hours.
Any idea???
regards

Hi Manoj,
1. Try to put some filters in the report and then run the report. if it takes less time, then probably your query is fetching very large data.
2. MDX query error may be the reason , this error come when a query runs endless, please try running the query 2-3 times, or when load on server is less.
Hope this will help,
Anamika.

Strange issue with RAM upgrade: It works but it doesn't! Please help.

Hello Everyone,
I have a very strange issue with my iMac since upgrading my RAM from 4 to 12 gig. When I first installed the new RAM it booted up and ran great. The next time I went to boot the iMac up it swtiched on but didn't get as far as the first white boot up screen. I tried turning it off and on a few times using the power on/off button but still no success. I decided to remove the RAM and reseat it. The computer then booted up again fine. Here's the problem though: when I went to switch my iMac on the next day it wouldn't boot up. Again, I took the RAM out and put it back in and the iMac booted up fine. I've checked the status of the RAM in the system profiler and it reports that everything is OK. So, I'm at a loss. Obviously, I don't want to go through this process every time I want to start up my Mac. Any ideas/solutions would be very gratefully received.
Many thanks in advance.

I completely agree with you. It will be one of the 3 issues you outline. The machine was bought brand new and has never given me a problem. It is just the introduction of the new RAM that has started a problem. However, I did just risk a restart and it booted up fine. I don't know if a restart is any different to shutting down and then pressing the on/off button to start the computer. Maybe my last reseating has done the trick or maybe my thinking is flawed because restarting involves a different process to booting up by pressing the on/off button. I don't know.
In the part of the world I'm sitting in it's night time now so I will leave the diagnostics running and check the results in the morning. I hope the issue is now resolved anyway. This sort of thing takes me back to my dark PC days although in this case I know it's probably not the Mac's fault.
Thanks again. Very much appreciated.

Strange issue with rights of account, used by SSIS (Foreach Loop Container does not return file names without Admin rights on server)

Hello everyone.
Faced very strange issue with account, which is used to run SSIS package.
The specific package uses Foreach Loop Container to retrieve file names within the specified folder, and put them into Import file task.
The package is set up to run under specific service account. This service account is given all permissions (Full control) to the folder where source files reside.
So the issue is: SSIS package fails to execute this task (Foreach Loop Container and then Import), and shows that no files are found in the directory (although files ARE there).
Once we're adding the service account into local Administrators group on the SQL Server, it works! Removing - does not work again. We cannot leave the service account as SQL server's admin as it's prohibited by our IT policies, and is just a bad practice.
Any ideas, please?

Strange issue with external monitor, only working when external speakers plugged in (using Thunderbolt to VGA adaptor)

Hey – I am having a very strange issue with my external monitor; where it only works if my external speakers are plugged in and connected.
I am using a late 2011 Macbook pro, running Mavericks 10.9.4, along with an MBox 2 (USB Audio Interface), and two powered speakers (KRK Rokit 5). This setup has had no issues. I have just acquired an external monitor (Benq T2200HD), which I am using with a thunderbolt to VGA adaptor (a cheap Chinese knockoff adaptor).
To start - I plugged the monitor in with the thunderbolt adaptor, and it powers up and works fine. However, there is a nasty buzz coming from the speakers. I did some research and it looks like a simple ground loop issue. I did a bit of troubleshooting, and this is where things get weird.
What I found is - If I unplug the MBox, the monitor loses signal from the computer (displaying ‘No Signal Detected!’). Further, if I keep the MBox plugged in, however unplug both the cables from the MBox to the speakers, the monitor loses signal. It doesn’t matter if the speakers are turned off, however they need to be plugged in (or the monitor loses signal). Weirder still, I can unplug the MBox, however the monitor will work if I plug in the speakers through my macs headphone jack.
Simply put, the monitor only works if there is a direct connection between the computer, the speakers, and the power source. What is going on here? Is the monitor grounding through the computer port, to the speakers (I don’t know how this works, is this possible?). Could it somehow be the cheap VGA adaptor I am using?
Some other information:
- Everything is plugged into the same multi-box for power. I have tried plugging things into separate sources, and the result is the same.
- If I unplug the thunderbolt adaptor, then the speaker noise disappears straight away.
- The ground noise doesn’t appear in my headphones, which are plugged into the MBox.
Any information would be great – am I missing something here, or is this genuinely weird?

Well, I went back into Best Buy to test on 3 other laptops (2 Asus, and their floor model for this Sony). It seems to be doing the same problem so at least I was able to rule out broken hardware issue on my particular laptop.
Here's what I did to test:
Since I couldn't really install Adobe Premiere on their machines, I used the DVIO software (http://www.carr-engineering.com/dvio.htm) and a 5 min clip I captured. I transferred onto their machines, hooked up my Sony D8, and attempted to play the video. It would play for 15 seconds and then stop and jitter with a loud noise (like it does on my laptop). I even tried changing each machine's firewire driver to the legacy one and same results. I pulled a brand new 4 pin to 4 pin firewire cable off their shelf and still the same problem.
I think I've nailed it down to Win7x64 bit Home Edition not playing nice with Firewire driver. Very annoying. I can't find any concrete evidence of this from other users on any of the forums that have my particular problem, but from my own testing, it's all I can conclude.
I have 2 other things I can try:
1. Opening the laptop and looking at the firewire to maybe find appropriate driver (ugh, I don't want to have to open this thing up).
2. Upgrading to Win7x64bit Pro and possibly testing with XP on the new MS Virtual PC (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/). I can't do it with my Home edition apparantly.
Who needs to view video on an external TV anyways....sheeesh...(scarcasm).

I am having strange issue with my apple tv...i set up pictures to scroll through to the tv using home sharing. Now album covers are interspersed with my pictures. I have been using apple tv for a while and never had this happen before

Are you watching this content though iCloud or though from iTunes on your local computer? If it is from iCloud have you tried downloading the content to iTunes and watching it on ATV from that source to see if it still happens? This is geerally a much more reliable way to view the content. Easer to fast forward and rewind too.
- I have a stable internet connection
Clearlly you don't
>(Ive tested on other devices)
Which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud.
>I am able to stream Netflix problem free from my AppleTV without so much as a hicup
Again which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud.
>- I am able to download the episodes to my phone, ipad, and computer without any issues
Again which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud. It does remove your ISP throattly traffice as a possible cause though. So that is good.
Have you checked your wireless rounter? Tried doing the factory restor on it? Upgrading it's firmware? Is it and or ATV getting extreamly hot when this problme happens?

Strange problem with Adobe Acrobat X (crash without a trace)

Hi,
I have a strange problem with Adobe Acrobat. It happens totally randomly, it leaves no signs in system logs.
What is happening: during my work Adobe Acrobat sudennly crashes. After a crash I cannot run it again - system seems to do something for a second, but then nothing happends. When i look into taks manager - there are no processes of Acrobat.exe. It just doesn't want to run. What I need to do is to reinstall whole Adobe Acrobat - which requires restart.
I've already tried to restart system after crash, it doesn't help - reinstall is required.
Sometimes everyting is fine for a 3 months, sometimes crash happens a week after the previous one. It also happens in very different situations (somtimes while opening a file, sometimes when doing something simple, sometimes in more complex tasks).
Has anyone encountered a similar problem?
