System Overload for NO REASON.

This seems to happen at random. Sometimes, when I use Logic, I get these errors constantly with neither the CPU or hard drive taxed AT ALL, regardless of what plug-ins I am using or how many. *This problem occurs whether I am using my Presonus Firepod or Built-In Audio as the audio driver.* Other times, I don't have the problem.
A restart or two seems to fix it, but eventually the problem crops back up. If something else running on my machine is causing this problem, well...
1. It shouldn't!
2. What process of elimination am I going to use to find something I don't even know is there?
I'm tired of reading thread after thread of overload problems easily explained away by not enough RAM, not using the latest version, using too many plug-ins, etc. I have tried various audio settings. There is no user error on my part for this problem, this is just a bug, widespread or not, and I want it fixed.

The page ins/outs section shows no changes when playing from the timeline. I'm sorting processes by current CPU usage, and there's no noticeable spikes from any other process. In this case, Logic is only using 21%.
Thanks for the help!

Logic 8 CPU overload for absolutely no reason

I'm too familiar with this, which is what I'm getting for just one project that I recently started:
"Logic Pro: Disk is too slow or System Overload."
There's nothing wrong with my computer. It's a 2 x 2.8 Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 8 GB of memory. And here's a picture of what's on this project. Essentially NOTHING.
I'm panning back and forth between audio regions (consisting of clips from different songs) on two different tracks fading in and out. Nothing fancy. Yet the first time (only the first time) the playhead encounters the next region, the CPU overload window pops up. I mean....really? Why? I have no idea why this is. I am running on Logic 8.0.2 but I see no reason to "upgrade" as this version is not CPU overloading on any other project.

There are a few threads on this topic already, including one a couple of days ago. They should get you started with some ideas about how to approach the problem.

For some reason the system is telling me my birth date is wrong when it's not and it won't let me proceed to reset my password. Can someone tell me how to get a "real" person from tech on line?

Solution for "Error while trying to synchronize Audio and MIDI" and "System Overload" messages

Article for those who hate Logic error windows
Seen in Logic Pro 9.1.7 on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4
and Logic Pro 9.0.0 on Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.5
Logic Pro:
System Overload.
The audio engine was not able to process all required data in time.
(-10011)
Error while trying to synchronize Audio and MIDI.
Sample Rate xxxxx recognized.
Check conflict between Logic Pro and external device.
The search in the help given as follows: overload occurs when you use a lot of tracks and a lot of effects on them, and the synchronization is lost when the selected MIDI track for recording or playback. Yes, this is all that is written in the resources. And here are useful tips that have been found:
The Bounce function allows the entire instrument track to be recorded as an audio file. This bounced audio file can then be used (as an audio region) on a standard audio track, allowing you to reassign the available processing power for further software instrument tracks. For more details, see "Bouncing Your Project."
You can also make use of the Freeze function to capture the output of a software instrument track, again saving processing power. For details, see "Freezing Tracks in the Arrange Area."
These tips - about the timing. About overload - there are no tips, except as "reducing the number of plug-ins" and "increasing latency". Zero useful tips - I got two errors in the test project with a blank audio track with no effects, MIDI drums and standard synthesizer, it was no aux buses, and the entire project was only a single plugin in the master track.
Here is the configuration of my computer:
iMac12, 2
CPU: Intel Core i5 3,1 GHz
Memory: 4 GB
And here's a project that almost immediately stops Logic, all instruments and plug-ins with the init-patch, ie not the most demanding settings:
It's sad.
When this happened the first time, I could start the project only if the empty audio track has been selected, a track specially designed so that you can at least start the project. Then, this problem has evaporated along with the changing conditions of work and I forgot about it until the last case.
I was looking for the cause of the problem in the console and the system monitor for two days, and finally I found that Logic ping to the network frequently. I remembered the exact time of occurrence of the problem, and system logs revealed that the problems began immediately, as soon as I deactivate the service of the Internet.
Solution: enable the Internet, or add a new network service on a computer with no Internet. I just created the Ethernet connection to the ip address 1.0.0.0
Logic immediately began to sing.

Hi gabaghoul
Yes, it worked for me on four different OS and Logic versions (10.6 - 10.8 and 9.0 - 9.1.6)
It does not work in some cases, hard enough to tell in which one, but you can try, it very easy: go to the net settings and create new Ethernet connection to the ip address 1.0.0.0 and connect LAN cable to the port.
Also you can try to figure out what happens in your system while Logic error occured - fot that you just start Console and search "logicpro"
Pay attention to repetitive events in a console and events with suitable timing, not so far from error
The problem may be related to the GUI or system memory, sometimes turning off Safari (or Chrome, others browsers) might help.

Sun Java System Application Server Standard stops responding for no reason

Dear Sun Users and Support.
We ran into an issue that we can't find any cause for. For some reason our Sun Java System Application Server 8.2 Standard stops responding to HTTP calls. Even Admin console can't be invoked. The server by itself appears to be running according to the Windows Services window.
It happens very rarely but once it happens the server needs to be restarted.
There are no logs in the log files.
This happens to multiple Sun Servers at the same time (As if some kind of timer shuts them off).
The servers run on Windows Server 2003.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
These servers are in the production environment and have expected uptime of 99.9%.
Thank you.

This has happened to us a couple of times and it was caused by Windows running out of TCP/IP connections. Next time it happens do a "netstat -an" to see if you have an extremely large amount of connections in time-wait state.
If you do this is probably the culprit and I'm sorry to say that I don't know of a cure. From what I've heard (objection your honour, hearsay!) this is caused by bugs in Windows TCP/IP stack.
If you require a 99.9% uptime you should perhaps consider switching to Linux or Unix. I know, easier said than done!
Hope this helps,
Gunnar

System message:Procurement of material&blocked for quality reasons(0006 883

Hi Greetings!
I have the following issue.
I need to make the message "Procurement of material & blocked for quality reasons" as Error message . Message number - 00 06 883.
This will not allow to create PO , if the "Blocking Function" - 02 "Block Request and Purchase order " is set in the QM info record.
Even though i ahve set this message as "Error" in the configuration ( Materials Management --> Purchasing --> Define Attributes of System Messages), i am getting only warning message during PO creation.
Can you please let me know if am missing any setting.

Your Desktop Picture settings and Dock items are stored in the files
/Users/your short user name/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist and
/Users/your short user name/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
in the "Preferences" folder in your user library. This looks like the system has trouble to write to these files. Check the permissions on your user library and remove the above files from your user library, then log off and on again.
Your user library is hidden in Lion and Mt. Lion. To reveal it, use the Finder's "Go" menu. Select "Go" in the Finder's main menu bar and hold down the alt/option key, until you see the "Library" in the drop-down menu. Double click it to open a Finder window, so you can browse the files inside.

The "issues" you've raised are nothing to do with the iCloud service.
No service that uploads data allows you to disconnect the device you are uploading from while uploading data. Doing so would prevent the upload from completing. It is a basic requirement for any uploading service that you remain connected to it for uploading to be possible.
The time it takes to upload data to iCloud is entirely dependent on how fast your Internet connection is, and how much data you are uploading. Both of these things are completely out of Apple's control. Whichever upload service you use will be affected by the speed of your Internet connection.

The process HOTFIX.exe has initiated the restart of computer "Computer_Name" on behalf of user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM for the following reason: No title for this reason could be found Reason Code: 0x2

I've had 5 machines the past two days, that have randomly restarted in the morning. All of my GPO's are configured to prevent reboots from Windows Updates. All 5 machines have up to date Anti-Virus, have ran a combofix with nothing found, and
have been forcefully rebooted at least once (most twice). I'm hoping to find the root cause, so I can prevent it from occurring on any other machines in our environment.
Also, sometimes on the seconds reboot the users see a:

Hi,
The Event ID 1074 from source USER32 is used to record a system shutdown or restart in order for the administrators of that system to have a better understanding on how often and for what reasons the computer is shutdown or restarted. The event contains
details about the process (the program) that performed this task, the computer that was affected and when applicable, the reason for the restart or shutdown.
The process known as Hotfix Installer belongs to software Microsoft SQL Setup or SQL HotFix Installer Engine by Microsoft.
Description: The file hotfix.exe is located in a subfolder of C:\. The file size on Windows 7/XP is 2,539,872 bytes.
The program has no visible window. Hotfix.exe is certified by a trustworthy company. Hotfix.exe is not a Windows core file. Hotfix.exe is able to monitor applications. Therefore the technical security rating is 36% dangerous.If hotfix.exe is located in a subfolder
of "C:\Documents and Settings", the security rating is 60% dangerous. The file size is 895,488 bytes (50% of all occurrences) or 564,736 bytes. There is no file information. The program has no visible window. It is not a Windows system file. Hotfix.exe is

The best DAW for Logic and big sample libraries... no more system overload

I'm planning on going big and getting the Mac Pro Two 2.66GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 16 GB of RAM and add two additional 1 TB drives, one for samples and one for projects. It's been suggested that I include a RAID 5 and that it will make streaming of the samples faster and also safer and more reliable for backing up data.
With my current setup I constantly have to freeze tracks of sampled instruments or I get system overload.
Do I need RAID or am I better off without it?

Gabe Garza wrote:

I'm not sure why you consider this a bad thing.
Having to constantly freeze/unfreeze takes time and disrupts workflow. It's a good option to have if you need it, but much nicer if you don't.
Johnny,
I would strongly advise against diving straight in with 16GB of RAM. There are a lot threads around that discuss how much RAM Logic can even recognize, you should check them out. I don't remember the details very well, but I feel like 16GB was more that it can handle (maybe that was just for ESX...). In any case, don't buy a Mac pre-installed with all that memory; Apple charges way too much for their RAM, and you can find perfectly functional, guaranteed RAM from third-party sellers. I bought my Mac Pro with the base amount of RAM and have added as needed, and I recommend you do the same.
When you play your projects, look at your CPU window.
Look at the Audio and Disk I/O meters.
If Audio is peaking, you need more CPU's
If Disk I/O is peaking, a faster I/O on your hard drive is needed.
I would also recommend doing this. Are you getting "core audio overload" messages, or another type? If you get core audio overload messages while your System Performance meters aren't peaking (or getting close to it), getting a faster machine isn't necessarily the answer. Core audio overloads are kind of tricky--some people with slower machines get them rarely, others with very fast machines get them often. If you haven't read up on this issue, I recommend you do so.
I'm not too savvy on RAID arrays, but I have a few thoughts. How likely are you to need your PCI slots for other cards? The specs for the Mac Pro lists 3 PCI slots, which I believe means 3 empty ones, i.e. doesn't include the one that holds your graphics card. Do you expect to add a second graphics card? PCI based audio interface? Anything else like that? A RAID setup will occupy one of those PCI slots, just keep that in mind. Second, while a RAID 5 array is a pretty secure way to store your data, you ought to have an external backup drive anyway, so maybe it wouldn't be worth it ($700 for a RAID card, yikes!). Lastly, it's likely that any of the most popular 1TB drives (search barefeats.com for some articles on these) will be sufficient to do what you need them too. I don't know how involved your Logic sessions are, but I've never maxed out my disk I/O while using my Western Digital Caviar 640.

Hello, all!
I have disabled all overclocking on my mobo and am using 1T settings on my RAM. For some reason(s), I am occasionally getting reboots under Windows XP. I am not playing a heavy game or anything, just burning music and surfing the web. Maybe downloading stuff with Agent as well. I installed all the latest drivers per the FAQ on this site, in the order prescribed.
One time I got a message saying "Windows has recovered from a serious error" after one of the random reboots and I screen-captured the Windows XP error message after getting back up:
http://philaphonic.spymac.net/Error-01.png
Any ideas what is causing my random reboots? Is this software-related? ... Or hardware, you think?
I have the "use aggressive timings" option enabled in the BIOS. Should I disable that? I have my "AGP aperture" set to 512MB (my total system RAM is 1G). Is that right? Should I allow my RAM to work at 2T instead of pushing 1T? Are this settings even likely to be causing my reboots?
Thanks for any help.

Relax your RAM timings a bit, till you find a working combination.

System Overload for NO REASON.
