What does 'Socket is not connected' when slow booting mean?

I updated software and restarted my mac, It didn't move from the grey screen so I powered off and on while pressing Shift + Cmd +V. It now will not not move from 'launch_msg(): Socket is not connected'. What does this mean?

Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

What does "You do not have sufficient access privileges" mean?

Hello Gurus!
I am wondering what does "You do not have sufficient access privileges" mean? I have a G$ with 2 internal hard drives. One has OSX 10.3.9 loaded on it and the other has OSX 10.4.7 loaded on it. When I boot up in 10.4.7 and try to access (open or copy) anything in the the desktop, documents, library, movies, music or pictures folders in my user folder on the 10.3.9 disk, it tells me that "I do not have sufficient access privileges"! This is a single user machine and it automatically logs in as me... the administrator. I tried to look at Apple's technical documents regarding permissions and privileges, but it is very confusing with all of it's terminal commands and lingo. Does anyone know an easy (and hopefully GUI) way around this problem?
Thanks Much,
Mark

If you have a different system on each HD then you do not have a single user machine. The user on one system/boot volume is not the same user as the one on the other, even if they ahve the same name and password. If you boot from the 10.3 volume, you can select your user folder, go to File-Get Info, and change the access for others to read and write and click on the apply to enclosed items button. You should then be able to boot from the other system and move stuff around as you see fit. Of course, this is not a terribly secure state to leave your system in, as anyone who can gain access to your Mac can get at everything on your 10.3 home folder.
If you try this route, I'd suggest doing it only long enough to move everything to one home folder and then revert the access privs to the way they were.

What does acrobat failed to connect to DDE server mean?

What does it mean ? Acrobat failed to connect to DDE server

Hi,
DDE stands for Dynamic Data Exchange, and it is a way for two programs to communicate with each other. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms648711(v=vs.85).aspx
Adobe Reader, or (Acrobat Standard/Pro) would be an example of a DDE server, in that when they are open they can accept unsolicited communication from client programs.
One client could be the fast launch utility.
Because the DDE server is local to your machine, only a server name needs to be decided upon. For instance prior to version 10 Adobe always used 'Acroview' as it's DDE Server Name. For some reason, Adobe claims 'security', They decided to change the DDE Server name for version 10 to AcroviewR10 for reader, and AcroviewA10 for Acrobat.
Because there was decades of old code which had never needed to change many programs stopped working, and began claiming that they couldn't connect to Acrobat.
Adobe, rightly, claimed that it was a bad practice to hard code the DDE Server name into your code, and that a better practice is to get the value from the Registry.
That would have been helpful but Adobe seems incapable of remembering to update this registry key when upgrading their software, even though they update the setting in their software.
For instance right now Adobe is setting the DDE Server name in the registry to AcroviewR10 for Reader 11. What is worse is that their software only responds to AcroviewR11.
So if you hardcode the server name, or create a function to determine what it should be, than you might be ok, but if you accept their good coding practices your applications will fail to work as expected, and your clients will think it is your fault.
Hope this helps.

What does java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to host mean? ¶

Several users have run into a java.rmi.ConnectException message during deployment, and need some information on how to troubleshoot this. We'll be adding this to our documentation, but thought it might be useful now.
In NoSQL DB R2.0, the show plan -id <id> command displays plan status and any errors that may have occurred. If you see this exception listed in the error section, it means that the Admin service was unable to reach one of the NoSQL DB components while the system was trying to execute an administrative command.
The first step is check on the overall status of the store. One way to do that is to use the show topology command, followed by the verify command. The show topology command will display the layout of the store, while verify will check the status of each component. A component that can't be reached will display a status of UNREACHABLE.
In general, NoSQL DB attempts to make any troubleshooting information you need available through the Admin CLI, through commands like show plan, show events, show faults. A ConnectException message means that a communication channel either was not established, or failed, and in those cases, troubleshooting information may not have been conveyed to the Admin service. This is particularly true if there was a communication failure during initial deployment of a component.
The next step would be to look in the NoSQL log files for more detailed error information. Look first in the aggregated storewide log, which can be found in the node that is hosting the master admin service, under the KVROOT/<storename>/logs/<storename>*.log. You can locate the master Admin through the "verify" command. This log file contains information from all the different components in the store.
Suppose Replication Node rg1-rn3, on Storage Node sn3, is not responsive. Look through the <storename>.log for entries made by those components. Each log entry is prefixed with the name of the component that issued the log message. Sometimes the aggregated storewide log has too much information, or sometimes information from a component was not transmitted to the Admin, and therefore isn't included in the aggregated log. In that case, it can be more helpful to look at the Replication Node or Storage Node logs directly, which can be found on their host, in the <KVROOT>/<storename>/logs directory.
If the problem occurs during an initial deployment, it can be particularly helpful to review the Storage Node logs to make sure that the Storage Node Agent on that node was created correctly, and that the process came up as expected, according to the installation directions, and the Replication Node logs. Some of the common reasons why a Replication Node might not come up are that here is inadequate heap and memory on the node, or that a initial configuration parameter is misspelled or has an invalid value, or that the time skew between components is greater than NoSQL's acceptable limit.

face time does not connect when receiving or dialing out

It finally seems to work (2nd day now and counting)...
I tried the following with no luck:
upgrading to iOS 5
adding an associated e-mail and calling that associated e-mail
do a full-scale registration of the e-mail (and making a free purchase via itunes) instead of a 'facetime only' registration
this combo however seems to have done the trick:
keeping the ipad2 plugged in
changing the dns on the ipad to "8.8.4.4,8.8.8.8"
If it continues to work for a few more days, then i think i can say the the problem is finally resolved.

HELP! iMac won't start up - launch_msg(): Socket is not connected

I've got an older 1.8GHz Intel iMac that I run as a server. The hard drive is partitioned into two volumes - one with 10.6.8 on it, and the other with Server 10.6.8. It was running fine until I restarted yesterday - I got the apple logo and the spinning progress wheel as though it was starting fine, but it just stayed like that forever. No problem, I'll just start up from the other partition, right? Wrong - same exact problem, no matter which partition I try to start from. When booting in safe mode verbose, the last message I see is "launch_msg(): Socket is not connected". I run disc utility and it finds no problems. Repair permissions finds some files in apple's help documentation that need fixing, which is done, but the problem persists.
I try to install a fresh system, but the system installer I have is OS 10.6.3, and it won't let me install over the "newer" 10.6.8 system. Argh!
I have an external USB hard drive, so I install a fresh system on that and am able to boot from it just fine. I rename the system and library folders on the internal drive so it won't recognize there's a system installed there. Then I'm able to do a fresh install of Server 10.6.3 on the internal drive. Installation goes fine, but guess what - when it reboots, the same problem still exists! Grey screen, apple logo, spinning progress wheel forever.
I'm about at wit's end here and would love some help!
The signs seem to be pointing to the hard drive being a problem, but disk utility finds no issues, and I'm able to copy files from it just fine. This is a 3TB hard drive that's less than a year old and was functioning just fine. I'm hoping to find a solution that doesn't involve reformatting this beast.
Any ideas appreciated! TIA.

It would be useful to know if you have a good backup of the important stuff on your HD. If not, its time to make one first. You should be able to do this using FW Target disk mode as suggested in my earlier post.
Deleting the iDvd plist file won't have been the cause of the problem, Rhthym.
Rather it sounds as if the computer is starting up in "single user" mode for some reason. (see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106388 )
First try typing "exit" and hitting return, instead of "reboot".
If this doesn't fix it, I'd reset the PRAM (hold down the command option p r keys while starting up - not just restarting - the computer and wait for the chimes to sound three times ) - see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
The fact that the computer gets stuck at this point, and the password message, also hints at the possibility that a corrupted "Netinfo database" may be the problem. Netinfo is essentially the system that OSX uses to take you beyond the single user "unix" system that you are currently booting into. Replacing this involves playing around with some significant unix commands though, so its not recommended unless you feel confident with such things. You can find instructions on how to replace it at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107210
If you still can't start up normally you should consider doing an "archive and install" from the OS CD. It may be that another OS system file related to the boot process has become corrupted. Doing an archive and install will leave your data correct , but replace the OS. You will need to re-install any OS updates again though - see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301270
If you contact Apple technical support tell them that the problem is that your computer is continually booting into "Single User mode".
Cheers

Outlook 2010 shows "Not connected" when users try to view other users calender

Hi all
I have enabled the possibility for all users to view all users calender information. This have worked fine but now some user get "Not Connected" when they are trying to see other users calendar. I have two database servers using DAG and one
database per server.
Does anyone have experienced the same? Or have a clue on what can cause this?
Pittbull

Hi Pittbull,
From your description, I recommend you follow the steps below for troubleshooting:
1. Please check if these problematic users have permissions to the calendars they are reviewing. Maybe the calendars' owners have removed the review permission of others via Outlook.
2. If the issue persists for a few users, they can try to new a profile and check the result.
Hope it helps.

What does {tag_image_value} from webapps return when field is empty? How to use javascript to remove div when condition is met.

Dear all,
As stated in the question, what does {tag_image_value} from webapps return when no image has been uploaded by users. I understand that there is an OnError function that can be called if there isn't any image. However it does not do so.
I am creating a program which will check to see if {tag_image_value} contains an image. If it does not, the error will call an external javascript to remove the div such that it removes any subsequent codes in the later parts of the codes. Below is part of the program:
I have tried to compare the value to NULL, 0, -1 and "" using if-else functions but they do not work. The slideshow wrapper is part of the code from the following theme: 2027 E Colfax Ave Denver
The theme will cycle through the pictures, my purpose is to remove the pictures if the images are not present.
   
<script language="JavaScript">
function noimg1() {
     $( "#shownpicture1" ).remove();
     return;
function noimg2() {
     $( "#shownpicture2" ).remove();
     return;
function noimg3() {
     $( "#shownpicture3" ).remove();
     return;
function noimg4() {
     $( "#shownpicture4" ).remove();
     return;
</script>
        
<div class="slideshow-wrapper slider">

    </div>
    <div style="display: block;" id="shownpicture2">
    <li style="z-index: 2; margin-left: 100%; opacity: 1;" class="active"><img alt="{tag_name_nolink}" onerror="noimg2()" src="{tag_image 2_value}" /></li>
    </div>
    <div style="display: block;" id="shownpicture3">
    <li style="z-index: 2; margin-left: 0%; opacity: 1;" class="active"><img alt="{tag_name_nolink}" onerror="noimg3()" src="{tag_image 3_value}" /></li>
    </div>
    <div style="display: block;" id="shownpicture4">
    <li style="z-index: 2; margin-left: 0%; opacity: 1;" class="active"><img alt="{tag_name_nolink}" onerror="noimg4()" src="{tag_image 4_value}" /></li>
    </div>
</ul>
</div>


When I put in the code it doesnt work. I went into the page to check and it seems that the preloader changes some elements of the code :
<div class="slideshow-wrapper slider">
    <div class="preloader"></div>
    <div class="orbit-container">
        <ul class="orbit-slides-container" data-orbit="data-orbit" data-options="bullets:false;animation:fade;" style="height: 26px;">
            <li class="active" style="z-index: 2; margin-left: 100%; opacity: 1;">
                <img alt="{tag_name_nolink}" onerror="noimg1()" src="">
                </img>
            </li>
            <li class="active" style="z-index: 2; margin-left: 100%; opacity: 1;">
                <img alt="{tag_name_nolink}" onerror="noimg2()" src=""></img>
            </li>
            <li class="active" style="z-index: 4; margin-left: 0%; opacity: 1;">
                <img alt="{tag_name_nolink}" onerror="noimg3()" src=""></img>
            </li>
            <li class="active" style="z-index: 2; margin-left: 100%; opacity: 1;"></li>
        </ul>
        <a class="orbit-prev">
            <span></span>
        </a>
        <a class="orbit-next">
            <span></span>
        </a>
        <div class="orbit-timer paused">
            <span></span>
            <div class="orbit-progress" style="width: 0%;"></div>
        </div>
        <div class="orbit-slide-number">
            <span></span>
             of
            <span></span>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
I tried putting this into the top of my template layout before the code starts:
<script>
$('.slideshow-wrapper slider .orbit-container ul li img').each(function(){
if( $(this).attr('src') == "" ){
$(this).parent.remove();
$('.slideshow-wrapper slider ul li img').each(function(){
if( $(this).attr('src') === '' ){
$(this).parent.remove();
$('.slideshow-wrapper slider ul li img').each(function(){
if( $(this).attr('src') == '' ){
$(this).parent.remove();
</script>
All 3 variants cannot work. Is there something wrong with the way I do the scripting?

Why does i photo not launch when i click on icon in dock?

Help why does i photo not launch when i click on icon in dock?

The icons in the Dock are aliases. If iPhoto isn't launching from the dock the alias may be broken. What you can do is first test to if iPhoto is working by launching the app from the Applications folder. Once you have determined iPhoto is OK then remove the old Dock icon by holding it down and dragging it to the desktop, it will disappear in a puff of smoke. Then go to the Applications folder and drag the iPhoto icon to the Dock and test it.

Lauch_msg() socket is not connected

I installed Lion Server in my Macmini early 2009 and after a while of use when I boot the system it stays stuck at the gray boot screen.
If I boot verbose the system last message is lauch_msg() socket is not connected and it remains at it.
That's the second time this happens. At first time I reinstalled the system using the recover partition and it worked till I rebooted it.
Is there a solution to this problem ? Is it a known problem of Lion Server ? I would like to found a different solution than reinstall the system again.

HT3964 socket is not connected

My Macbook pro would not boot,
the Launch Msg says (Socket is not Connected).
Pls anyone, do help out with steps to get it back on track.
thanks...

Wild guess. Is there an ssh-agent running under the username you are logging into?
I know that in Leopard when you interactively login, you get an ssh-agent created and most likely a socket is used to communicate with it.
So I'm wondering launchd (which I think starts up the sshd) is having problems creating an ssh-agent for the login session.
Again, this is a wild guess.

What does 'Socket is not connected' when slow booting mean?
