Kernel panics
Hi people Perhaps others have experienced this. --- MacBook Pro 17-inch, Late 2011 Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7 Memory 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MB Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 (11D50b) I got this machine in March, and I have had 7 kernel panics since then. They tend to happen when I put the machine to sleep, either by closing the lid or using a keyboard shortcut. However, sometimes it has crashed when carrying it (awake) from one room to another. This morning, I was working, put the machine to sleep and went to give a lecture, and it had crashed. Often, the symptom is that, on sleep, the screen goes dark, but the CPU keeps running. This makes it pretty hot in my briefcase! When I try to wake it, the fans are going crazy, but the screen won't wake. As you can see below, every crash report cites Faulting CPU:. A second, perhaps unrelated, symptom is that the screen brightness continually sets itself down, and I have to manually increase it again. I have booted into hardware diagnostics a couple of times and no fault was found. Does this sound like a hardware fault or a Lion bug? Any advice welcomed. The helpdesk people at work can only advise me to shut the machine down before moving it, which sort of defeats the purpose of having a laptop. I don't want to waste those minutes shutting down and starting up each time I need to take the machine to a new location!

Re: Sharing folders
Hi Folks In the interests of clarity and easing the strain on my ageing brain, let me be more specific. Each month, Margaret receives some emails with financial statements attached and I use Quicken to keep the books for her - no trouble with one computer. Now, she prints them out for me, admittedly on second-hand paper, but Apple raves on about the ease of sharing and I got sucked in. Should we just continue with the prints? Ian On 2 May 2012, at 1:53 PM, Ronda Brown wrote: Hi Ian, Thanks Daniel, I had missed that Ian mentioned Public folder, I had assumed he was having problem with File Sharing. Ian; In case you are a bit unsure of how to share files in OS X over your local network. It’s really sharing “Shared Folders and Volumes.” Add Shared Folders for File Sharing: Once you’ve turned on a file sharing service, it’s time to set which folders on your Mac can be accessed by which users. Apple labels Mac OS X’s list of shared items Shared Folders, but you can add the top level of anything mounted on the Desktop—hard drives, CDs and DVDs, flash drives, and even disk images—as well as individual folders. To add a folder or mounted drive, follow these steps: 1. In the Sharing preference pane,under the Shared Folders list,click the + button. 2. Select the folder or drive that you want to share. For folders, navigate to the item, and make sure it’s selected. For volumes, choose the volume under the Devices list in the left sidebar. 3. Click Add. There’s no additional “apply” button; the folder or drive is now available for sharing, and it appears in the Shared Folders list. Cheers, Ronni On 02/05/2012, at 1:15 PM, Daniel Kerr wrote: Hi Ian Also just to add on,... If you are trying to access the Public folder itself, you can only drop items into it, you can't actually open it and view. ie on your machine you can drag files into your wife's iMac public and she can view them and vice versa. But you can't actually open to view each others public folder across the network. You can only view it on the machine. If you're sharing other folders then you will have full access, as long as you long in with the correct username and password for the machine in question. (ie you have to log in with the shortname (or fullname) and password for the iMac if you're logging from the MacBookPro and vice versa.

For both computers, File Sharing is on, Share files and folders using AFP is on, although number of users connected is 0. Connection is via a Netgear 54 mbps wireless ADSL2 + modem router. Where are we going wrong? Snow Leopard on iMac and Lion on MacBook Pro. Hi Ian, You have the Firewall on in System Preferences on both computers? I have heard of AFP not working correctly in Lion for File Sharing. Try this first: A) 1. Leave your firewall activated. 2. Turn OFF AFP file sharing in the system preferences 3. Restart your Machine 4. Turn ON AFP file sharing 5. You should now get a message if you want to accept AFP connections... 6. Click YES Seems like this somehow resets the AFP permissions in the firewall settings If that does not fix you problem; try this: B) 1. Go to Preferences 2. Click on Sharing 3. Click on File Sharing on the left-hand side 4. Click the Options button 5. Uncheck “Share files and folders using AFP” 6. Check “Share files and folders using SMB (Windows)” 7. Click the Done button. At this point, you should be able to connect from the other machine. If you need to go in the other direction, perform these same steps on the other machine. Let's know how you get on please.

Re: Kernel panics
Hi Rob, Certainly not a Lion Bug, I also would suggest it is not a hardware fault. I'm fairly sure it will be a software fault causing the Kernel Panics. Try booting into Safe Mode to see if the panics stop. If they do then you would need to look at the whole log of the kernel panic to see last loaded kext; something similar to: last loaded kext at 32151275348: com.bresink.driver.BRESINKx86Monitoring 8.0 (addr 0xff7f8202b000, size 16384) loaded kexts: com.bresink.driver.BRESINKx86Monitoring 8.0 Cheers, Ronni 17 MacBook Pro 2.3GHz Quad-Core i7 “Thunderbolt 2.3GHz / 8GB / 750GB @ 7200rpm HD OS X 10.7.3 Lion Windows 7 Ultimate (under sufferance) On 02/05/2012, at 3:13 PM, Rob Phillips wrote: Hi people Perhaps others have experienced this. --- MacBook Pro 17-inch, Late 2011 Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7 Memory 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MB Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 (11D50b) I got this machine in March, and I have had 7 kernel panics since then.

A dmg problem solved!
A few months ago I had a problem opening disk images, very much like Brett's. A discussion on WAMUG seemed to solve it, however it turned out to be temporary, or, I think, only certain disk images would refuse to be opened, but others were openable. When I tried to open the reluctant ones with Disk Utility, a message appeared: Invalid BS_impBoot in boot block: 66671 No partition map When a whole series of disk images refused to open, I did some googling and discovered quite a few people also had problems, and they all seemed to be related to usage of a Lexar flash drive. I had a Lexar flash drive briefly - I loaded photos on it and took it over east when I visited family. To my great disappointment, when I tried to unload the photos, they couldn't be found. They were visible on my computer, but not on any other that I tried. So I ditched that drive. However, when I read that someone had solved the disk image problem by throwing out this file: SystemLibraryExtensionsLexarFileScheme.kext I had a look at my System Library. I didn't find that particular file, but there were 2 others: LexarFilterScheme.kext and LexmarkUSBMerge.kext So, out they went, flushed down the trash. After a restart, I can open any disk image I like. I hope that this information might help others who have had disk image opening problems. Cheers!

Re: Converting audio from aac to mp3
Hi Adrian, If you only require MP3 format, then delete the AAC versions. I import all my music in AIFF format (highest quality, exactly the same format as on the music CDs), then I convert tracks I wish to have on my iPhone iPad to MP3 format... but I also keep the AIFF for using in tracks in creating movies and DVDs. You can always convert music down to a compressed format (MP3) , but you can not convert up from MP3 to a higher (non compressed) format AIFF.

Re: A dmg problem solved!
Hi Pat, I have quite a few Lexar flash drives and I recommend them to clients. I find them excellent and have never had a fault with any of them. What you have described happened to you I would surmise, was using the software that some of mainly the older Lexars had on the flash drive. I always check a flash drive; and reformat them in Disk Utility, which deletes any 'software' that might be on the flash drive. Then you know that nothing is incompatible on that drive that will cause problems.

Re: Kernel panics
Hi Rob, I've posted my reply back to WAMUG mailing list. I would suggest you might not be running Lion is 64-bit mode. That panic was not caused by third-party software. The remaining possibilities are (1) a damaged Mac OS installation; (2) a hardware fault, which could be internal or in a wired peripheral device; and (3) an obscure bug in the Mac OS. You can rule out the first possibility by reinstalling the Mac OS. Probably there will be no change. You're running in 32-bit kernel mode, which is not the default in Lion. You might be able to avoid the panics by switching to 64-bit kernel mode, which you can do by following the instructions here: Switch to to 64-bit kernel mode (via terminal command) To select the 64-bit kernel for the current startup disk, use the following command in Terminal: sudo systemsetup -setkernelbootarchitecture x86_64 Cheers, Ronni On 02/05/2012, at 4:04 PM, Rob Phillips wrote: Thanks.

Hi Rob, Focus what is listed under: last unloaded kext at 67652377522219: com.apple.driver.AppleUSBCDC 4.1.15 (addr 0xff7f80817000, size 12288) You will then see: loaded kexts: Look through these to see what could be causing the kernel panics.

Hi Ian, You don't need to print the documents, save the documents (the attachments) from the emails to a folder on Margaret's Desktop. Then share that Folder. A) On Margaret's iMac: 1. Create a Folder on her Desktop 2. Name it Financial Statements (or what ever you wish) 3. Then follow my previous instructions 1 to 3 below to share that folder. To add a folder or mounted drive, follow these steps: 1. In the Sharing preference pane,under the Shared Folders list,click the + button. 2. Select the folder or drive that you want to share. For folders, navigate to the item (Desktop Financial Statements), and make sure it’s selected. 3. Click Add. There’s no additional “apply” button; the folder or drive is now available for sharing, and it appears in the Shared Folders list. B) Then on your MBP: 1. Open you Home (little house ian) 2. In the Sidebar - Under 'Shared' You will see the shared folder Financial Statements 3. Click on the Financial Statements and you will be quickly connected to that folder. You can then drag the Financial Statements Folder to your Desktop You will be asked to enter the Name Password of the Administrator (Margaret) of the iMac. 4.

Ian; In case you are a bit unsure of how to share files in OS X over your local network. It’s really sharing “Shared Folders and Volumes.” Add Shared Folders for File Sharing: Once you’ve turned on a file sharing service, it’s time to set which folders on your Mac can be accessed by which users. Apple labels Mac OS X’s list of shared items Shared Folders, but you can add the top level of anything mounted on the Desktop—hard drives, CDs and DVDs, flash drives, and even disk images—as well as individual folders.

Re: Sharing folders
Hi Daniel, Has something changed in Lion? This is not quite how it works on my SL computers - what you describe is only applicable to my Drop Box folder within my public folder: If I put an item in the main Public folder in my user folder then another connected computer user can access that file and copy it to their own computer. However other users cannot drop things into my main Public folder. Within my main Public folder is another folder called Drop Box (not to be confused with the Dropbox folder associated with the Dropbox cloudsynch app!). Other connected computer users can drop things into my Drop Box but they cannot see or otherwise access what is in there. The system throws up a warning to this effect when you go to drop an item in the Drop Box All this only applies, of course, if you have file sharing turned on. Cheers Neil -- Neil R.

How can I get rid of this? However, given the USB string under the 'last unloaded kext' and under Parallels, this could be the culprit. I'm reluctant to try the safe mode option, because I will be without needed services/ functionality for several days until the random crash occurs again Thanks for your help.

Hi Rob, Uninstall the Symantec anti-virus product according to the developer's instructions. The Symantec product is worthless and can do nothing but slow down and destabilize your system.

This is not quite how it works on my SL computers - what you describe is only applicable to my Drop Box folder within my public folder: If I put an item in the main Public folder in my user folder then another connected computer user can access that file and copy it to their own computer. However other users cannot drop things into my main Public folder. Within my main Public folder is another folder called Drop Box (not to be confused with the Dropbox folder associated with the Dropbox cloudsynch app!). Other connected computer users can drop things into my Drop Box but they cannot see or otherwise access what is in there. The system throws up a warning to this effect when you go to drop an item in the Drop Box All this only applies, of course, if you have file sharing turned on. Cheers Neil -- Neil R.

If you are trying to access the Public folder itself, you can only drop items into it, you can't actually open it and view. ie on your machine you can drag files into your wife's iMac public and she can view them and vice versa. But you can't actually open to view each others public folder across the network. You can only view it on the machine. If you're sharing other folders then you will have full access, as long as you long in with the correct username and password for the machine in question.

Where are we going wrong? Snow Leopard on iMac and Lion on MacBook Pro. Hi Ian, You have the Firewall on in System Preferences on both computers? I have heard of AFP not working correctly in Lion for File Sharing. Try this first: A) 1. Leave your firewall activated. 2. Turn OFF AFP file sharing in the system preferences 3. Restart your Machine 4. Turn ON AFP file sharing 5. You should now get a message if you want to accept AFP connections... 6.

Attachment is there - but can't access - hotmail Apple Mail
I'm not sure if this is a hotmail issue, or a Mail issue, but lately I've had examples whereby somebody has sent me an email with attachment, but I can't access the attachment. From memory, this problem has arisen only when receiving from a hotmail address. Using Apple's Mail as email Client (Lion 10.7.3), I can see that the content (as in the attached file) must be within the email somewhere because in the Size column of my inbox screen, it says 691KB, and in the paperclip column, 2 attachments (1 of which is an embedded graphic in a sig file). However, when looking at the email itself, it indicates just 1 attachment of 31KB, being the embedded graphic. No sign of the attachment I want to access, and I've looked in the Mail Downloads folder itself. Yet Mail must begetting this 691KB info from somewhere?? Anybody have a clue as to what's happening here?
