** UPDATE I had a PS2 camera plugged in via a macam quicktime driver. That may have been the cause. Simply unplugging it seems to have helped. I think Flash sites were fighting for the camera and causing unnecessary delays.? I had the same errors coming from Safari. Whatever, I can browse again..

  • System Log is empty and only show 3 lines of information?  Is this normal?

    when I open my system log in Console this is all I get:
    Oct 19 03:15:01 wolf cp: error processing extended attributes: Operation not permitted
    Oct 19 03:15:02 wolf cp: error processing extended attributes: Operation not permitted
    Oct 19 03:15:02 wolf cp: error processing extended attributes: Operation not permitted
    isn't there supposed to be way more information here? I am sorry if this is a stupid question as I am a newbie.
    thanks.

    Nov 12 03:15:01 playout1 cp: error processing extended attributes: Operation not permitted
    after seeing this the server becomes unresponsive all services are down and nothing works for about 20mins and then a reboot would simply fixed the issue
    the server is an intel based machine running Mac OS X Server 10.4.10
    the thing is we are mounting a shared drive from a windows server through SMB and copied a 5MB file
    the progress bar is showing zero KB and cannot be force quit and if you try to force quit this will affect all the services including the ARD agent to not function anymore
    we have encounter this issue for some time now, this will also arise if copying from remote desktop by dragging the selected machine
    and also copying from afp to afp seems very slow in any mac os x or server it will just copy in a speed of .5MB per second
    any ideas on how to solve this issue
    thanks

  • Why can I just Install my system as Mac OSX Extended

    Hi,
    yes like my thread says, why can I just choose the option Mac OSX Extended (case-sensitive) when I want to reinstall Leopard? Or is the Option somewhere esle and I can't find it? Because when I want to choose, they are two options, both options are Mac Osx Extended, the other is with an extra option, but I forgot what it was.
    I don't want Mac OSX Extended because some games or Apps won't work with it like Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare or Age of Empires 2.
    Thank you.

    If you mean "why can't I" ... it depends how you're trying to reinstall Leopard. You can only choose the format of the drive when you're doing a clean install (erase and install) which wipes your drive. If you're choosing Install (upgrade from an earlier version) or Archive and Install, you won't get the option to reformat the drive.
    If you are indeed trying to clean install, try running Disk Utility from the installation disk first (before you go through the install screens, go to the Utilities menu and run Disk Utility). From there, you can erase and reformat your drive to the format you need ... the options you will have are Mac OS Extended, with or without case-sensitivity and journalling. Hope one of those is the one you want - you didn't mention which you'd prefer.
    Matt

  • Why my macbook pro's screen always looks like freezing and slow?

    I think it's because of one of my app. It may cause the trouble. I just went to ask genius bar for help today and they reset my system. It was fine after that but since I restore the backup, the stupid problem came again and it's driving me crazy. All the hardware should be great and the software is the latest. Somebody help me please. I just had it for no more than half year.

  • System.log flooding  - strange loop every 10sec.

    Unfortunately for us, we decided to update the computers in our office to 10.5.
    Among other problems our server has become unstable - it has spontaneusly crashed twice in two weeks.
    I tried to find the reason by looking at logs and I found it quite difficult since now a couple of processes are for some reason looping all the time and flooding the system logs.
    Can someone tell what this means? Something about MySql but we aren't supposed to running any as I know...

    It seems pretty clear that mysql is trying to load, but failing for some reason ('Too many arguments').
    I doubt that's the cause of your instability, but it's easy to stop MySQL from loading. Open a terminal window and run:
    sudo launchctl unload -w org.mysql.mysqld
    Hopefully that'll clear up the logs and make it easier to spot the issue.

    Any chance I can disable this?
    thank you! :)

    Well - maybe it isn't a SATA driver system.log. I can't read the system.log because it keeps refreshing so the data in on the screen for less than a second before it refreshes. AND there is so much disk thashing that the system is barely responsive.
    The only visible log entries are:
    Jul 19 04:28:10 Platinum kernel[0]: Inic1622: SATA - Int no command active (repeated about ten times)
    Jul 19 04:28:10 Platinum kernel[0]: and active
    and repeat....
    The log file is showing a size of 4.5 GB

  • Power management messages in system logs

    Can anyone tell me why these end up in my system logs? The system has been up for 26 days so this isn't from being rebooted. Thanks!!

    The LSI 1064 is the SCSI RAID controller chipset - perhaps a cabling/power issue as noted in another post I saw. Look at the above bug report and try checking your power management configuration.

  • Slow I/O, System.log errors for XSR

    Hello,
    Got a strange problem. For the past few weeks we have been experiencing outstandingly slow I/O from our Xserve G5 to our Xserve RAID. The box periodically reboots itself (no info in system.log re: it), and we consistently see (while doing i/o ops) this error in system.log:
    Nov 28 07:28:44 xserve kernel: FusionMPT: FindTaskForControllerIdentifier() failed, targetID = 256, context = 0x4a
    Nov 28 07:29:15 xserve kernel: FusionMPT: FindTaskForControllerIdentifier() failed, targetID = 256, context = 0x2a

    Nov 28 07:46:22 xserve kernel: FusionMPT: FindTaskForControllerIdentifier() failed, targetID = 256, context = 0x37
    The box is Mac OS X Server 10.3.9 with 2 disks as a software RAID -- they appear fine and are humming along just fine. The XSR has 7 disks in a RAID 5 (1.4 TB) and a reformat has not resolved the issues.
    Has anyone had this issue before, or have a clue what it may be?

    RAID firmware is?

  • System.log filling up with: mbp kernel[0]: dp events: 0x04

    Dec 21 17:09:52 mbp kernel[0]: dp events: 0x04
    This line seems to repeat 5 or 6 times per minute, filling system.log.
    Looks like it started Dec 19th. I don't see any obvious unusual thing I did at that time.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks, jeff

    Although Apple has not fixed this yet, I have learned some interesting things. While on the phone with Apple, they had me run a Data Capture program to collect info about my system to send back to them.
    While running the application, I had Console open so I could look at the system log. To my surprise, after running this application, the repeating dp events: 0x04 completely stopped and the mouse cursor behaved normally. The mouse continued to behave normally until I put the computer to sleep and woke it up again.
    In summary:
    1) The dp events: 0x04 messages are present when the mouse skips and not present when it doesn't. This seems like proof that the muliple writes to the system log are what make the cursor skip.
    2) Running Capture Data.app (from the Apple tech) runs a handful of scripts that not only capture data, but also kills the dp events for some reason.
    I have verified this four different times and reported my findings to the Apple tech I was speaking to.
    Can anyone else who receive the data capture program from Apple give this a shot? Just have Console open and look at your system log before, during, and after running the program. Perhaps you'll see as I did that the dp events go away and your mouse works right (at least until sleep).

  • Where do System Logs live?

    I just used Onyx to do a maintenance I should have done ages ago - after this I looked at the Log Files tab, and out of interest had a look at System Logs > "Periodic - daily" (and "weekly" and "monthly"). These seemed to go right back to first use of the computer.
    But the mystery is, where are these files located? I looked in both /Library/Logs, and in System/Library, but can not see them in either folder. (Obviously they will not be in /User/Library/Logs so I didn't even bother looking there).
    If I need to clear space can I locate these files, back them up, and then delete them?

    Easiest way is with Terminal.app...
    show hidden files in OSX Finder
    Open the terminal and type or copy/paste:
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true
    Reverting to the default of NOT showing hidden files:
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool false
    Restart or Force Quit Finder required to take effect.
