Strange (new?) behavior

Using Safari 3.1.2, I go to a site such as tv.yahoo.com - click on a listing, a description window opens below the listing - but the window is empty. I could have sworn that Safari worked with Yahoo! TV previously - hmmm?
Another Safari issue...
I recently decided to stop using Windows when I was doing my online bill payment. So, I go to my financial institution, start the 'bill pay' routine, click on the calendar icon (which should cause a little pop-up to appear so I can click on a payment date) and I get an error message stating this feature doesn't work in Safari...I have to enter dates manually. Now, I wouldn't swear that this had worked previously, but I thought that it had.
This is not an 'active x' thing - the above errors do not occur if I'm using FireFox on the Mac.
I've tried this in Safari 3.1.2 on both my Mac G5 OS 10.4.11 and my MacBook OS 10.5.4 - same problem on both.
Any ideas?

FWIW, I just tried that page you posted and it displays fine here (no blank page).
I probably didn't explain this clearly (looks like I can't insert a screen capture here - too bad). If you go to tv.yahoo.com, click on TV Listings in the menu, you then are presented with a sequential list of shows by hour by channel. When you click on one of the listings, a large box expands below the listing - that box should be filled with descriptive info - in my Safari, it is blank. The way the box opens, it looks like flash technology - but it's not - if you right click the box, you don't get that tell-tale flash contextual message (Zoom In, Zoom Out, etc). And not that it matters, but my flash plug-in is working.

What is your banking site? If it is Bank of America, the calendars come up just fine here as well.
It's actually a 'credit union' - Kinecta. Not a small 'can't afford decent programmers' type thing - they're one of the nation's largest. There are other sites where the calendar does work in Safari (american airlines, any of the travel booking services). I just find it irritating that something like FireFox will work just about everywhere (assuming 'active x' isn't required) but Safari seems to be misbehaving.

I think I would, at a minimum, clear the safari cache, trash the preference file (com.apple.safari.plist) and restart your computer. I might even reset Safari (clears the cookies as well).
No luck. I cleared the cache, trashed prefs, deleted all Yahoo cookies. Still no luck.

GH2 Video File Strange New Behavior

I've been working the last 6 months with 4 GH2s and ran into some strange troubles when initially importing them to the timeline. 2 hour shots are divided into 6 or 7 different files, and when brought into PP the first clips audio was assigned to all the other remaining clips. This was pretty strange, but I fixed it by using TSmuxer. It was added time in the workflow/set up, but in the end I could produce; so I did not search for any more solutions.
The latest update of PPCC now combines the entire 2 hours of footage into each of the 7 files being imported. So it is importing 2 hours of footage 7 times for each camera. The conforming is taking forever! For 4 cameras it's conforming 14 hours of footage each, when it should literally be a 7th of that.
It is taking up large amounts of time and disk space.
Any pointers here?

CS6 is exactly where I picked up Premeire Pro, so you can see that I'm very new. But even after following the advice I found on this forum to
a. copy the entire folder over to the working drive and
b. use adobe media browser to import clips,
I always had multiple clips with the first clips audio. Latest updates of window, video card driver, premeire pro, and all...still the error. Hence the TSmuxing.
So maybe there is something else that I missed?

Strange New Behaviors on G5

Recent new developments of bad behavior on my G5 using OS 10.4.11.
It seems there are a few new bad behaviors taking place. I've not documented all of them, so I'll have to post each one as it happens, but one thing in particular keeps happening over and over, and is serious.
If I begin to drag something using the mouse, it will activate other things, or change from the item I'm dragging to something else that I might happen to drag over, and then consequently move items that were not intended, etc. It is messing up my setup because when this happens I often don't know that another item was affected when I do this. It happens whether in the Finder or if I'm within a program.
I've tried deleting my finder.plist and repairing permissions, and my software is all up to date, but it continues to happen. This strikes me as sounding more like a virus or some sort of malware.
Can someone validate this problem and help me to resolve it?

Hi Linda,
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for action in Safe Mode...
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it is some 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed. Also look in System Preferences' Other row.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
/private/var/run/StartupItems
/Library/StartupItems
/System/Library/StartupItems
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/LaunchDaemons
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

MacBook Air has strange new behavior when I log in.

When I go to log onto my MacBook Air, the screen stays dark except for a strange "path" that reveals the screen behind my curser. Very strange. Having owned Macs for years, I've never seen this before. Has anybody else had this happen? What would cause this?

Does it happen when you startup in Safe Mode ?

Strange ZWSREG behavior

We are in the middle of a rollout of about 300 new machines. (used sysprep in the image) The first 100 are doing something strange. They boot up get renamed and join the windows domain with their new name, but register with ZEN as the randomly generated Microsoft name. (usually someting like N-398477634379d979) I deleted the workstation object, unreged and rereged the computer, but it always reregisters with the randomly generated name. What gives? I found a TID that said this was fixed by an update on the latest desktop agent, but that I could work around it by deleting the incorrectly named object and waiting for the machine to reboot, However it still registers with the wrong name. Any ideas? Thanks.

But these are new computers. They should not have image safe data yet. I tried it, but got the same result.

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.

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.

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 New Compile Error

I was just compiling a project and I got the following
strange new error written to c:\.err.
Friday, April 25, 2008 17:08:13
HHA Version 4.74.8702
htmlproc.cpp(114) : Assertion failure: (pszTmp ==
m_pCompiler->m_pHtmlMem->psz)
The only 'major' change made to the project was an update to
the existing Index, and deletion of a number of spurious entries
therein.
What is this error and what can I do about it?
Any Advice?

Just got this error again:
Monday, May 05, 2008 11:25:23
HHA Version 4.74.8702
htmlproc.cpp(114) : Assertion failure: (pszTmp ==

Strangely, I have not increased the size of the index since
the last successful compile.
I am curious as to what other aspects of this
formerly-successfully-compiled-project may lead to this error.
Vivek, could you please provide any insight? Thank
you.

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

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
<xsl:template match="/Source/Surname">
<PORR>
<Name><xsl:value-of select="Details"/></Name>

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,.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">

New behavior: Computer's local hostname is already in use...

Recently when waking my Macbook Pro I get the following dialog...
...there is no other computer on the network with the same name. This is new behavior, what would cause this dialog to appear?

Yes this has been plaguing me since the 10.5.8 update. I found the following, I don't know whether it fixes this problem but it certainly doesn't cause any harm as far as I can see.

It involves editing /etc/hostconfig. Do this at your own risk.

Odd New Behavior cs5

My layers are normally blue when i select them. Sudeenly, they are gray when i select them.
I can normally can click the gray area surrounding the canvas an deselect but now it just selects the BG (background). When i move the BG it seems to be moving the channel and not the object.
EXAMPLE: the BG is yellow the text is back because i designed it that way, but with the new behavior..... when i move the BG the yelow turns red and the text becomes a darker red.
I think i have accidentally hit a key comand that makes the move tool select the channel. So what keyboard short cut would that be so i can toggle back?
also, is there something to look for that indicates that mode?

Check and see if your in Quick Mask mode.

In the past, if I clicked on leftmost Red Button(X), the conversation window would shrink, but you do not log out of the call.
How to alter this behavior?
How to reprogram Face time buttons?

Niraja,
You need to open the popup on click on the button and in the popup model access class you can use HTML controller to this conroller you need to pass the URL of the webDynpro application.
I have done exactly same thing before and will upload docuemnt to the wiki pages. Mean while you can explore further on the above idea.

Strange New Console Messages _spotlight: audit warning: expired /var/audit/ {string of numbers}

For several days I have been having difficulties having the MacBook Pro (Lion) complete shutdowns. Eventually I have to hard reset it.
On reboot almost always Spotlight starts building its index again. (I even gave it 2 full days once in case the indexing not completing was the issue but the laptop had just stayed hung). Disk Utility and even the otherwise pathetic Tech Tools Pro 6 report no errors in directories or structures,

Any thoughts on what these are all about and how to get rid of these problems?
Thanks and Happy New Year.

To the best of my knowledge, the CaptiveNetworkSupport daemon has to do with WiFi and networking.
Some things to try:
Visit ~/Library/Caches <–Trash everything in this folder (it will rebuild after reboot)
Reboot your Mac. | Empty the Trash. | Reboot your Mac.
You cannot empty the trash until after you reboot because the files are still in use. When you reboot the second time, after you have emptied the trash, it is to ensure that none of the files are in use, and the new caches are rebuilt successfully. You may notice it's a little slow at first, that is because it is rebuilding the caches.
Rebuild the Spotlight Index.
This is simple. Open up Spotlight in System Prefs, drag your Mac HD into the Privacy section, then remove it. It rebuilds the spotlight database.
Repair Disk Permissions for good measure as well.
See if that helps anything.

Strange (new?) behavior
