ubiquity.log - hundreds of "don't know what to do with item" every hour or so

I'm getting hundreds of error messages in my personal ubiquit.log (i.e Console->Files->Ubiquity->[userid]->ubiquity.log. Here are a couple examples:


[ERROR] 4a8cf50d85d [13/08/01 07:44:47.210] {394DE58C} 907.main reschedule_coordinated_io:3738 don't know what to do with item 0x00010000000016ff

[ERROR] 4a8cf51222e [13/08/01 07:44:47.211] {394DE58C} 907.main reschedule_coordinated_io:3738 don't know what to do with item 0x0001000000001700


As I said - I get hundreds of these every so often (every time iTunes logs in? - not sure).


Any idea what these errors are?

Well, I'd say that any log message beginning with "Error" is - an Error that needs attention/correction. Whether I'm seeing problems or not. Either that, or the programmer that put that message in should be taken out and shot for telling the user/admin they have an error that isn't an error.


I've been a sysadmin of *nix and Linux systems off and on for a very long time. Logs are there to give you an indication of the "health" of the system - and notify you of things that may be misconfigured, permssion issues, etc, etc, etc. I've been remiss in checking my Mac logs for a few months.


And since I get hundreds of messages repeatedly, each with different "item" numbers, there's a problem somewhere that needs addressing. Either some database has links to files/entities that no longer exist (and may be slowing my system down), or those items have been deleted/moved, and the database hasn't been updated and needs updating (by deleting it and letting it get rebuilt - whatever).


I view this no differently than when I coded C/C++ programs. Fix EVERY warning from the compiler. It almost ALWAYS fixes some mysterious issue that crops occasionally in the program.


Warnings and errors tell you that you have something wrong that needs fixing.

Posts seem to indicate this is an iCloud issue. And I can see messages appearing when I load Pages. Since I have a couple hundred documents in iCloud - I'm extremely concerned about these messages.


Are the documents not syncing, or syncing properly?

Are some possibly corrupt?


Since I don't desire to lose these documents, to make sure each can be opened, and to review each one several times a day (corresponding to the times I get these errors) is quite an extreme chore, then I will remain concerned about these until I can determine WHY they appear, WHAT they mean, and IF there is anything I need to be concerned about. Either that, or I need to remove everything from iCloud completely (not even sure if that's entirely possible).


So again - despite there not being a "functional problem", the fact that I'm getting lots of errors that seem to stem from the ubd process, which is the iCloud sync (as I understand), and I have hundreds of documents/files in iCloud, then I guess that I, for one, will be concerned about this.

Applications that can store documents in iCloud include Preview, TextEdit, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, GarageBand, and some third-party software such as "DayOne," "iA Writer," "MindNode," and perhaps others. If some or all of those applications are suddenly not working well, there may be a problem with iCloud synchronization.

Back up all data.

Open the iCloud preference pane in System Preferences and uncheck the box marked Documents & Data. See whether there's any improvement. If there is, continue.

Hold down the option key and select


Go Library

from the Finder menu bar. From the folder that opens, move this folder to the Desktop:

Mobile Documents (or any other item with a name beginning that way)

and move this folder to the Trash:

Application Support/Ubiquity

Re-enable Documents & Data, log out, log back in, and test. The folders should be recreated automatically. If the issue is resolved, delete the folder you moved to the Desktop.


If you continue to have the same problems, I suggest you contact iCloud Support.

Ok - sorry for the delay. I've had numerous problems with my system. I wound up fixing the syncing issue, rebooted - and that was the end of that. System wouldn't boot.


Ran the AHT on the recovery partition - hardware checked out - so I had to restore my system. What I don't know is if the corruption caused the syncing problem - the syncing issue led to the corruption - or the two were just coincidental (I'm suspecting coincidental).


Anyway - after restoring, that just created a cascade of lots of other issues. TimeMachine wouldn't back up to the original TM disk, some volumes got mounted read-only, other weirdness. I'm still not sure I've solved it all, but it seems to be on a more even keel right now.


Read a lot about the "read-only" volume issue, and tried many of the solutions - none worked. Since OSX is really a *nix box, I used an old technique.


In traditional *nix, volumes get mounted to "mountpoints" - a directory that already exists, and the mounted volume simply is accessed through that directory/mountpoint. On OSX, the mountpoints are dynamic, and happen in the /Volumes directory.


To fix the read-only issue, I ran Disk Utility, and unmounted the affected volume. I then dropped into terminal, and created a new directory WITH THE SAME NAME AS THE ORIGINAL VOLUME (i.e. if the volume mounts as "Test", I created a new directory named "/Volumes/Test"). Once this new directory was created, I then went back to Disk Utility to mount the volume. This will mount it, and in my example above, will create a dynamic directory named "Test 1" -> "/Volumes/Test 1". Unmount again, then go back to terminal, and remove the just created directory (i.e. "sudo rm -rf /Volumes/Test"). Then mount the volume again - and it's fixed. So the steps are:


  1. Run Disk Utility, and unmount the affected volume
  2. Run Terminal, and create a directory with the same name as the mounted volume (i.e. if it's "Test", then run "sudo mkdir /Volumes/Test")
  3. Back to Disk Utility, and mount the affected volume
  4. Unmount the affected volume
  5. Go back to Terminal, and remove the directory you created (i.e. "sudo rm -rf /Volumes/Test")
  6. Now back to Disk Utility, and remount the volume
  7. Should now be able to access it, and it should not be mounted read-only.


It's taken a few days of getting things back in order, and then trying to free up some space on my bootable volume. I had replaced it with a 2GB disk (internal) when my AppleCare ran out, and it was getting fairly full. Took about 12 hours to restore (from a FW800 TM disk). So I decided to move my iTunes/iPhoto libraries to external FW drives, and then needed to make backups of those to other drives, etc. Like I said, has taken me a few days to get things straightened out - I hope.
