Verify rather than repair permission

is there a benefit to running verify permissions at all? it seems to me one would be better served to just run repair permissions when in doubt. is this correct?
i know i'm probably asking a lot of stupid-seeming questions, but i've recently had a great deal of computer problems because of my lack of knowledge on how to care for it. i promised myself to ask even the stupidest questions in order to know everything i need to know.

Yes, "Verify Permissions" is usually just a waste of time
See the last post here for reasons why you would want to verify only

Extensions and plugins are installing automatically rather than asking permission, as I have configured in my browser preferences.

Disregard. I located the solution.

Hi,
My thought is to check the current IP of the server, as your smb.conf has the line interfaces = 192.168.1.109 which means samba will only listen on that interface for requests. If the IP of the server has changed, that would explain why samba isn't working.

I'm getting the rainbow wheel when I try tp pen in internet page (Safari). The page half loads then appears to freeze with the rianbow wheel. I get the same result when I try to stream a movie from NETFLIX. Freezes up rather than plays (after loading).

I get the rainbow wheel when I try to open an internet page. It loads halfway, then freezes, with the rainbow wheel whirring around. Smae thing happens when I try to stream a movie on Netflix. The movie loads, then the wheel shows up and the screen freezes. Same thing when I try a DVD, it takes the disc, but won't play when I hit on PLAY.
I am repair permissions, and all that I can do, but I am a novice. Any help would be greatly appreciated because I spend big bucks and drive 40 miles to get Apple help.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If your profile info is up to date, you probably have a 2006 or 2007 MacBook with a CoreDuo or Core2Duo.
It probably came with 512MB or 1GB RAM memory and a 60, 80, or 120GB hard drive.
You're still running OS X Tiger, 10.4.
Your DVD drive may be dirty or wearing out.
For specifics about your computer, click on the  Apple Logo in the menu bar, then About This Mac, and More Info... to find details.)
You may be running short of hard disk space. You should have at least 10% free, or 10 to 15GB free for best performance. Less than that, and your hard disk is spending lots of time searching for places to store data.
Complex web pages and sites like Facebook and Twitter, and pages using Adobe Flash, and high-bandwidth applications like video streaming from NetFlix can all cause your computer to run slowly, and the fan to run at high speed, because the processor is working hard. Conversely, email is not terribly resource-intensive, and probably still works pretty well.
Several things can each provide a small performance increase (listed in no particular order):
Adding more RAM memory. Upgrade to 2Gb to give your programs a bit of 'breathing room', especially if you are running more than one program at a time.
Erasing the hard drive and reinstalling the current operating system and programs from scratch. This erases all your existing programs and data. Unless you have backups and program discs, you lose everything currently stored on it.
Installing a higher capacity, faster hard disk, say 250GB or 320GB will give your programs and data more space, and perhaps faster access if you replace the factory 5400rpm drive with a 7200 rpm drive. If your current hard disk is nearly full (less than 10% free space), the drive has to 'thrash' to free space to store information.
Upgrading the operating system to OS X 10.5 Leopard or OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Both are discontinued OS X versions, still available to order directly from Apple, but not likely found on a store shelf any longer. An upgrade to OS X 10.7 Lion might not be possible for your MacBook (details here: http://www.apple.com/macosx/how-to-buy/), and Lion would likely cause a further slowdown, because honestly, Lion is optimized for newer, faster dual-core or quad-core computers with fast video chipsets and 4GB or more of RAM.
A faster internet connection, for example: I switched internet providers to get a 3.0Mb DSL connection (up from a 512Mb connection) for an extra $10 per month, and saw downloads and internet browsing speeds increase dramatically. With the slower connection, it was not possible to watch video.
Will all of these upgrades together get you close to the performance of the latest MacBook Air or MacBook Pros? NO!
Ultimately, you have a 4- or 5-year-old computer, and spending up to several hundred dollars for upgrades might not be a worthwhile investment for you, versus applying that much money toward the cost of a new(er) Mac, and perhaps passing your MacBook on to a friend, child, or grandchild who needs mainly email capability.
If a brand new Apple is not in the budget, consider a refurbished Mac from the Apple Store online. These are reliable computers from 'last year's models' and have the same 1-year Applecare warranty as a brand new model, and often sell at a discount of 10 to 30 percent of the price when the model was introduced.
I'm using a mid-2007 MacBook, purchased as a refurb from Apple in late 2007. It came with 1GB RAM, a 120GB 5400 rpm hard drive, and OS X 10.4 Tiger. Over the years, I've upgraded it twice. Firs to 2GB, then to 4GB RAM, to a 320GB drive, then to a 500GB 7200 rpm hard drive, and to OS X 10.5 Leopard, and then to OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Rather than one more round of upgrades to OS X 10.7 Lion, I'm saving for a newer MacBook Pro or MacBook Air at some time in the future.

ITunes will not open and tells me to use the "information" to open in 32 bit rather than 64. but the information pane does not offer that option ...

I am trying to open my iTune 10.4 on my mac mini which is running OS 10.6.8, and I get the message that I need to use the information pane to open in 32-bit rather than 64. But the information pane does not offer this option. I'm in a vicious circle of opening, getting this message, then having to close. Did this come about after the June update of iTunes? And if so, why haven't they fixed it? And what can I do? You'd think Apple would want be to be able to spend my money in their store ...

Try following steps and test one at a time:
1. Restart computer, right mouse click iTunes icon and select "Run As Administrator"
2. If that does not work, check to see if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
Close your iTunes.
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
Now open itunes and see if it is working?
If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
MSCONFIG
Hit ENTER
Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
Restart Windows.
3. If that fails or you don't see ApsDaemon.exe in the Processes, refer to following article to remove SC files:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
4. If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REPAIR.

I am trying to update my time machine backup on time capsule, but time machine keeps trying to create an entirely new backup (evidenced by the 200GB backup size). How can I get time machine to modify my old backup rather than create a new one?

It must have found the old backup corrupt.. so you will more than likely have little choice. You can archive off the old backup if it is still useful.
You can also verify it. See A5 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
He also has some info on this problem. eg C13.

Any suggestion for a damaged logic board rather than buy a new computer

Any suggestions for a damaged logic board rather than buying a new computer

The most frequent RAM vendor recommendations are Crucial.com and MacSales.com (OWC).
With respect the logic board, you could ask Apple about a "Fixed Price Repair" which will generally repair everything that is wrong with a Mac.

Acrobat Reader 9.4 downloads files rather than opening in Firefox 3.6.12

Clicking on a pdf file link in Firefox causes the file to download rather than opening.
I've tried checking and unchecking the "open in browser" box in Reader without success.
In looking at the Applications list in FIrefox Tools>Options>Applications, there is no listing for Adobe Acrobat Document, and I can' t find a way to add that Application. There are two entries for Adobe Acrobat Forms Document and one for Adobe Acrobat XML Data Package. Changing the Action for them doesn't resolve the problem.
Looking at the Control Panel, there is only one instance of Acrobat Reader, that being 9.4.0. I've also tried using the Repair option in Reader.
I'm running XP3 Pro Service Pack 3.
Any suggestions?
thanks
Ken

You can get that error if there is still an old Adobe Reader plugin in the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder.
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\nppdf32.dll

How do I insert additional clips into my video timeline in Elements 13? When clicking 'add media' it added the clips at end of video rather than in their appropriate position. Could not 'cut and paste'.

I am in the process of preparing to test a sample from your brand and model camera in my Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 on Windows 7 64 bit. I will have the results probably tomorrow morning.
For now I just want to put you through the drill that I do for anyone who says he/she is using Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
1. Are you working from the 8.0/8.0.1 Update of the program?
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4653
2. Do you have the automatic Background Rendering and AutoAnalyzer features turned OFF.
For Background Rendering option. See Edit Menu/Preferences/General.
For AutoAnalyzer option. Click on Organizer in the row below the blue active Organize header in order to open the Elements Organizer. In the Elements Organizer workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoAnalyzer Options and disable all the AutoAnalzyer options. To return to the Premiere Elements workspace from the Elements Organizer workspace, in the Elements Organizer workspace, go to File Menu/Exit.
Is your computer optimized in spite of the fact that you have a high end laptop? I presumed so but always go to verify, no pile ups of preview files, conformed video and audio files et al.
Looking at the properties of your source media, I see:
video compression = MPEG1
audio compression = MPEG-Layer1 (.mp2)
Frame Size = 640 x 480 (4:3)
Pixel Aspect Ratio = 1.0
Frame Rate = 30 progressive frames per second
With properties like those you are sure to get a red line over that content since there is no project preset with that description.
But, your choice of the default NTSC DV Standard would have been mine also.
I am heading to try to get a quick look at the behavior of the sample video here in my Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
To be continued.

I have a 27" iMac with 16GB of factory installed SDRAM and 1T harddrive. It is telling me the harddrive is full and is not functioning correctly. How can I adjust so that all files are managed on the harddrive rather than the SDRAM. (BTW - design flaw)

Processor 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
I have a 27" iMac with 16GB of factory installed SDRAM and 1T harddrive. It is telling me the harddrive is full and is not functioning correctly. How can I adjust so that all files are managed on the harddrive rather than the SDRAM. (BTW - design flaw here.)
Older Macs with a single Harddrive would simply expand OS management on the drive, and I think I understand the new Fusion Drive to do just that, but how do I get this product that I spent a great deal of money on to be more than a pretty screen?

I was confused by this statement
It is telling me the harddrive is full and is not functioning correctly.
OS X manages ram and when you run out, it create swapfiles to extend your ram on the HDD (Hard Disk Drive). The OS itself, takes about 16 gig of space and that too resides on the HDD. Your 16 gig of RAM is really a temporary space that holds things from the HDD so the processor can work on them. There is no design flaw between your ram and HDD. Something else is going on and there are a lot of smart people here to help you figure out what that "something else" is.
I would do three things. First I would create a backup, backups are important. Second, I would reboot into recovery and repair my HDD. Lastly while still booted in recovery I would repair permissions.
Can you capture a screen shot of the exact error you are getting?

G5 shutting down rather than sleeping

Hi,
In the past few days my iMac G5 (approx. three years old) has been shutting itself down rather than going into sleep mode. I know it is not an issue of sleeping and not reviving because the power pulse light is not on. No problems in normal operation (i.e. does not shut down suddenly or unexpectedly during use).
I haven't done anything out of the ordinary or added any software recently. I did have to unplug the computer rather than shutting down properly over the weekend when it froze and wouldn't respond to command/option/escape while I was finishing a backup of iTunes (manual backup, last disc out of 13).
We normally let the computer sleep rather than shut it down--I downloaded & ran iJanitor last night on the rec of some other past discussions on similar topics but to no avail.
Thanks for any help.

I am having the exact same issue that BSeque described initially. For me, the shutdown only happens after I send the iMac to sleep - for example, it will shut itself off overnight. It never occurs if I am actively using any applications.
It also seems to be taking a long time when "finding local drives" on startup which it never did previously (about two minutes of just that message on the screen during startup). My wife has reported a loud noise upon startup on several recent occasions, and I have also had to pull and replace the power cord several times recently when the normal power up procedure wouldnt work.
I am also in the number range for the repair extension, but am interested in knowing if there are any steps to take before I bring it to the Apple Store.
After reading a suggestion on another post, I pulled some of the system logs. Here is a sample sequence for one of the time periods when shutdown occurred involuntarily:
Sep 14 20:44:17 localhost pppd[261]: Connection terminated.

Kernel Panic during repair permission

Persistent, even after normal reboots. The repair permission runs fine in the mode where you hold down command and R before startup, I am running Lion btw, but kernel panics occur everytime when you do repair permission under the normal operation system.

Boot into Safe Mode and try repairing permissions. Does it still panic? Also, disconnect all external peripherals and see if that makes any difference. Have you repaired the hard drive?
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion
Boot from your Lion Recovery HD. When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
To boot from the Recovery HD restart the computer. After the chime hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and "R" keys until the computer starts from the Recovery HD.

PHP forms submitted as an attachment rather than email?

How do I get my PHP forms submitted as an attachment rather than email?
Meaning, if I set up a form on my website and someone completes and submits it, how can I get the responses as an attachment rather than in email text?
Much appreciated.
G

Hi Gunter
I have spent so much time on this now.
I have tried to convert the php to an attached .txt or .csv file.
Learnt a lot but still can not seem to get the form data to be submitted as an attached file.
Here are two of my attempts, please assist:
<?php
$email=$_REQUEST['email'];
$firstName=$_REQUEST['firstName'];
$lastName=$_REQUEST['lastName'];
//The Attachment
$cr = "\n";
$data = "Email" . ',' . "First Name" . ',' . "Last Name" . $cr;
$data .= "$email" . ',' . "$firstName" . ',' . "$lastName" . $cr;
$fp = fopen('reservationTest.csv','a');
fwrite($fp,$data);
fclose($fp);
// Mail to
$email = "myemailaddress";
//subject
$subject = "Test Budget reservation";
//Header
$headers("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
$headers("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=reservationTest.csv");
$headers("Pragma: no-cache");
$headers("Expires: 0");
//Message
$message = "".
"Email: $email" . "\n" .
"First Name: $firstName" . "\n" .
"Last Name: $lastName";
mail($email, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
<html>
<body>
<table width="400" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td>
<div align="center">Guperman Your Test Message Has Been Submitted</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
EOD;
echo "$theResults";
OR
<?php
/* subject and email variables */
$email = $_POST['email'];
$lastname = $_POST['lastname'];
$firstname = $_POST['firstname'];
    $to = 'myemailaddress';
    $emailSubject = 'Test Form';
    $headers = "From: $email\n";
$message = "A new reservation test.\n
Last Name</b>: $lastname
Name</b>: $firstname
Email</b>: $email
    mail($to,$emailSubject,$headers,$message);
//open the file and choose the mode
$fh = fopen("reservationTest.txt", "a");
fwrite($fh, $email);
//close the file
fclose($fh);
?>
<html>
<body>
<table width="400" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td>
<div align="center">Guperman Your Test Message Has Been Submitted</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
On both accounts when I test these files I get the following types of messages.
Warning: fopen(reservationTest.csv) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in \\HOSTING\DFS\20\1\9\1\2028751191\user\sites\mywebsite.com\www\reservationTest.php on line 11
Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in \\HOSTING\DFS\20\1\9\1\2028751191\user\sites\mywebsite.com\www\reservationTest.php on line 12
Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in \\HOSTING\DFS\20\1\9\1\2028751191\user\sites\mywebsite.com\www\reservationTest.php on line 13
Fatal error: Function name must be a string in \\HOSTING\DFS\20\1\9\1\2028751191\user\sites\mywebsite.com\www\reservationTest.php on line 22
And then to give the .php files permission I left click on the already uploaded files and try and set the permission to 777, but then I get a response like: Setting Access Properties failed for:
Your assistance is much appreciated. Regards

Hello Martin:
Thanks for your input. However I am not certain we have resolved this issue adequately, or understand the principles governing the css as regards this spry menu framework 2.0 (1.0).
For example, the menu only works in IE 6.0 if the css remains in the head. I agree with your original post that it shouldn't make any difference whether the css is posted in the head or in a separate style sheet (so long as specificity issues are addressed). Both should work -- and yet it doesn't.
If the CSS is placed in the separate style sheet governing the total site, it doesn't work for 6.0. If placed at the top of the style sheet, conflicts of specificity prevent the menu from rendering properly in any of the browsers causing the rules for general links to govern the menu.   This has been verified using a cross browser testing. If the styles are placed at the bottom of the style sheet to help them take precedence, they work in all the browsers except for IE 6.
The website I am building needs to support IE 6 for a variety of reasons, and because it is catering to the non-profit community and to low income persons, I am mindful of even small differences in page weight.
So for me, at least, the issue remains baffling.
I appreciate your input, but also would appreciate the input from others, and especially Adobe Community Professionals and employees. The spry framework in this regard is not well documented. I am not certain if this is exclusively a CSS problem, if it might also be complicated by the architecture of the spry framework, or if indeed other variables are at play.
I would be my hope that in resolving the problem, other users of the this particular spry framework might also benefit.
Thanks,
Steve.

Cloning a ZFS rooted zone does a copy rather than snapshot and clone?

Solaris 10 05/08 and 10/08 on SPARC
When I clone an existing zone that is stored on a ZFS filesystem the system creates a copy rather than take a ZFS snapshot and clone as the documentation suggests;
Using ZFS to Clone Non-Global Zones and Other Enhancements
Solaris 10 6/06 Release: When the source zonepath and the target zonepath both reside on ZFS and are in the same pool,
zoneadm clone now automatically uses the ZFS clone feature to clone a zone. This enhancement means that zoneadm
clone will take a ZFS snapshot of the source zonepath and set up the target zonepathCurrently I have a ZFS root pool for the global zone, the boot environment is s10u6;
rpool 10.4G 56.5G 94K /rpool
rpool/ROOT 7.39G 56.5G 18K legacy
rpool/ROOT/s10u6 7.39G 56.5G 6.57G /
rpool/ROOT/s10u6/zones 844M 56.5G 27K /zones
rpool/ROOT/s10u6/zones/moetutil 844M 56.5G 844M /zones/moetutil
My first zone is called moetutil and is up and running. I create a new zone ready to clone the original one;
-bash-3.00# zonecfg -z newzone 'create; set autoboot=true; set zonepath=/zones/newzone; add net; set address=192.168.0.10; set physical=ce0; end; verify; commit; exit'
-bash-3.00# zoneadm list -vc
ID NAME STATUS PATH BRAND IP
0 global running / native shared
- moetutil installed /zones/moetutil native shared
- newzone configured /zones/newzone native shared
Now I clone it;
-bash-3.00# zoneadm -z newzone clone moetutil
Cloning zonepath /zones/moetutil...
I'm expecting to see;
-bash-3.00# zoneadm -z newzone clone moetutil
Cloning snapshot rpool/ROOT/s10u6/zones/moetutil@SUNWzone1
Instead of copying, a ZFS clone has been created for this zone.
What am I missing?
Thanks
Mark

Hi Mark,
Sorry, I don't have an answer but I'm seeing the exact same behavior - also with S10u6. Please let me know if you get an answer.
Thanks!

Lync Inactive Timer Not Working - Starts after 5 minutes rather than 20 minutes

I have a client who has her Inactive timer set to 20 minutes. I verified that the registry entry is set as such. We have rebooted her system and cleared her Lync cache files. She does not have a screen saver set, and her plugged
in power setting for turning off the display is set for 30 minutes, and put the computer to sleep is Never. Battery power options has the display turning off after 5 minutes. Her system is plugged in and the Inactive status kicks off
after 5 minutes and the display does not turn off. I can not figure out why it is kicking off after 5 minutes rather than 20 minutes as it is set. Any ideas on what else might be causing it to go inactive after 5 minutes? Or what else I can
try to get it to initiate the 20 minutes that it has set?

My apologies, I didn't check the location being the 2010 forum and was hoping it might still be 2013 as we get a lot of 2013 posts in the 2010 forums. The app doesn't currently work with 2010 which stinks. I was thinking if it
worked we could beef it up so it worked well for you and add some additional features. In the end, there's no native option but it's a good idea.
