OSB gives confusing volume information when moving tapes between libraries

Hi,
We have an SL500 tape library as our main backup device. We also added an SL24 to the OSB domain for testing prior to installation elsewhere. We have an RMAN-FULL-MF media family, which at some point in the past had unexpired media in both libraries.
As part of the process of decommissioning the SL24 prior to shipment, I unloaded the volumes from the SL24 and imported them into the SL500. However, I may not have run the necessary OSB commands, such that OSB has up-to-date information as to where the physical media is located.
Our DBA has tried to delete some old database backups, and this has failed because the backup pieces cannot be found. However, we have a volume in the SL500, RMAN-FULL-MF-000007 which appear to contains the backup pieces (see 'lspiece' output below), but OSB thinks the volume is still in the SL24.
When I do an inventory of the SL500 I get:
lsvol -L SL500
Inventory of library SL500:

This appears to indicate that OSB still thinks the volume is in the SL24, which has now been removed from the domain.
Does anyone know what I can do to get OSB to recognise that the volume is now in the SL500? Do I need to run the 'obtar' command with the -G option to re-catalogue the tape?
Ultimately I like to see some documentation on how to transfer tapes between libraries in the same domain, and also between domains, with specifc commands to run.
Thanks.

Hi,
Not quite as straightforward as you suggest, but we have made progress.
The volume has to have a rotation policy before the 'chvol' command will run, which seems logical. So I created a policy for movement of tapes between the SL24 and SL500, and created and ran the media movement job. However, I then tried to remove the rotation policy, but could not because it was associated with the volume just moved.
I then tried a 'chvol -R "" RMAN-FULL-MF-000007' which returned an error:
"Error: can't relocate volume RMAN-FULL-MF-000007, volume has no rotation policy"
Which was the effect I wanted really - the removal of the association of the volume with the policy. I was then able to remove the rotation policy.
Also, 'lsvol -f RMAN-FULL-MF' still shows this volume listed twice.
The upshot of all this is that OSB now appears to show the volume in the right location and our DBA was able to delete the obsolete backups via RMAN.

Modification dates change when moving/copying between hard-drive and flash

I use a flash drive to store most of my work-related documents on. That way, I have them when I'm at school (on a Windows XP computer) and at home on my Mac OS 10.3.9. I
try to occasionally back-up my flash drive by dragging it's contents to my Mac. Copying in this direction USUALLY retains the appropriate modification date.
However, if I move things from the Mac to the USB drive (I occasionally make changes to a file on the Mac when my flashdrive isn't handy), the modification date changes to the copy/move date. Is there a way around this? It alters the information about the file and sometimes makes a version look newer than another version of a document. When in reality, it’s older--it’s just been moved/copied and the date changed.
I often move things back and forth for backup purposes, but if it keeps changing the dates on it’s own, it’s impossible to tell which is REALLY the
most current copy/version.
Is there a fix so that copying and moving files between volumes does NOT change the modification date of the file?

Hi, teacher. When my Lexar JumpDrive Secure is formatted as a MS-DOS volume so a PC can read it, the last-mod dates of files that I copy to it are changed to the date and time of copying. When it's formatted as a Mac OS Extended volume, the original last-mod dates are copied to it unchanged. Looks like you can thank Bill Gates for the inconvenience: apparently it's a DOS file system "feature". Don't you wish you could use Windoze all the time?
On second thought, the files really are changed when you write them to a DOS volume, because the DOS file system has no place to store the metadata about your files that a Mac pays attention to and a Windoze box doesn't. So when you write Mac files to a DOS volume, that metadata — which is part of each Mac file — is simply discarded, causing the last-mod date to change.

Intel Macs & G5s: Problems when moving projects between them

An earlier post* suggesting complete compatibility between the latest FCP in a G5 and in an Intel Mac may be in error.
We are experiencing continuing crashes using our Intel Mac when we work on projects that were originally either imported or partially rendered in the G5.
It has gotten to the point where we feel we must keep projects completely isolated from each other: Either it is a "G5 project" or it is an "Intel Mac" project. Moving projects back and forth between the two leads to problems such as:
The Intel Mac does not recognize any renders done in the G5...
The Intel Mac crashes when rendering 'G5' projects...
The Intel mac crashes when compressor goes to work to export sequences to mpeg...
The G5 works fine with Intel Mac-originated material: It is only in the Intel Mac where we have these problems.
Both systems are up-to-the minute on their OS, security updates, and FCP versions. We are using variously 720p/30 from the JVC GY-100UA and 1080i/30 from the Sony Z1U.
Our questions are:
Is anyone else experiencing similar problems moving projects between a G5 and an Intel Mac?
Is anyone moving projects between the two platforms and experiencing NO problems at all? That information would be just as valuable, and very welcome.
Apple FCP development team: Is our experience unique or have you had other reports like this? Any idea what could be causing our problems -- and what we can do to fix them?

Scott,
Welcome to the discussions!
I have had no problems moving my G5 projects over to my MP.
You can not move render files between machines.
When you changed systems, did you use Migration Assistant to transfer your files over to your new Mac Pro? You might need to install from the disks in order to achieve native Intel performance. See if you installed Final Cut 5.1 on your G5 then it installed the PPC code... if you put that drive into your Mac Pro or used Migration Assistant to move the app over it is still the PPC code... When you install from the installation disk, Installer determines what system you are installing on (PPC or Intel) and that's what it installs. This goes for all of your "Universal Binary" apps...
In the System Profiler app. under Software/Applications
Final Cut Pro "kind" should be Universal on your MP.
The FCP development team do not read these posts, only users do.

Error when moving files between Sharepoint sites using 'content and structure' feature

Hi,
I am using Sharepoint Online 2013 on a mac computer.
I am trying to move files between sharepoint sites/libraries but because the "open with explorer" link does not work on mac computers, I need to do so using the 'content and structure' feature.
When I select a file to move and then select the destination site/doc library, i get the following error:
An error was encountered performing this operation.
Operation to Move '120207_Australia Post_Invoice.pdf' to '/Ops/internal/admin/General Admin' failed
No items were moved. Please remove 120207_Australia Post_Invoice.pdf from the selection and retry operation
Please help!
Thanks,
Kate

Hi Kate,
If you mean only one file "120207_Australia Post_Invoice.pdf" could not be moved, please compare this file to the other files moved successfully, check if there are some differences, like the content types, fields.
Also compare the source library and destination library, make sure they have the the same type of fields.
And you could have a try of moving this single file separately see if it could help, or as a workaround to download this file from source and upload to the destination library.
Since it is related to SharePoint Online 2013, we cannot see the ULS log for more information, I would suggest you post this issue in Office365 SharePoint online dedicated forum via the following link for a better assistance.

IE11 in Windows 8.1 changes scale when moving window between screens

Hi,
I'm using Windows 8.1 with IE11 on a Dell Latitude E6510 with an external LG screen. I use both screens in my daily work and when I move a IE11 window from the internal screen in my laptop to the external LG screen, the scaling in IE11 changes and gets smaller.
It happens when the windows is halfway over to the external screen. On the way back it changes again and gets bigger. I've use the "One scaling for all my screens" in the Control Panel|Display applet without success. It's only IE11 that has this
behaviour, no other programs does this.
Brgds Jonas

Hi Brgds Jonas,
I agree with Robert Aldwinckle .
In addition, Windows 8.1 definitely seems to be doing some automatic display scaling here, as has been rumored based on beta builds of the OS.
The first option is for multiple monitors with different ppi. windows will choose for you based on what the ppi is. use trial and error until you get the size you want and both monitors will be about that size. if they are close in ppi it will not scale
them differently because I am pretty sure it only chooses from the default scaling sizes.
For more reference, you may refer to:
Windows 8.1 DPI Scaling Enhancements

Hope it helps.

Lost information when transferring content between authorised macs.

I transferred purchased tv shows between 2 authorised macs but one of them as lost all the accompanying show information, is there any way to get this back?
Thanks
Dave

It comes down to two main cases:
Case 1) Old Mac has RJ45 "regular" Ethernet port or AAUI (about 14-pin) Ethernet port:
In this case, all can be done with Ethernet. Buy a used Transceiver \[AAUI to RJ45 Ethernet] for about US$10 and cable the old Mac directly to your Router. Any Mac running 10.3.9 or older can share files using AppleTalk-over-Ethernet. Enable it on both ends in the Sharing or File Sharing Control Panel and the System Preferences > Sharing panel. Illustrated instructions in this article:
http://homepage.mac.com/car1son/os9xnet_nfilesharing.html
If your old Mac OS is 7.5.3 or later, it will work pretty much as described in the article. If your oldest new Mac OS is also 10.4 or later, you will need to start at the older Mac and use the IP Address of the newer Mac to make the connection.
Case 2) Old Mac has no RJ45 Ethernet or AAUI Ethernet, only round Printer port \[AppleTalk/Localtalk port]:
In this case, you will want to get a used converter -- the same one that will allow the LaserWriter to work with the newer Macs. The "trick" is that these converters have always supported up to 8 devices -- both Macs and Printers -- for Printer Sharing and for File Sharing. The converter can be any one of:
• Farallon EtherMac iPrint LT (NOT LS)
• Asante AsantTalk
• an older Mac that has both Ethernet and round printer port for AppleTalk/Localtalk and Apple's free but unsupported Ethernet Bridge software.
Connect the Ethernet side of the Converter/Bridge to your Router. Connect the AppleTalk/Localtalk side to up to eight of the AppleTalk/LocalTalk computers and printers using PhoneNet boxes and telephone cords. Remember to terminate the last open PhoneNet jack.

ICal does not update the organizer when moving items between calendars

I have two calendars: Exchange 2007 and CalDAV.
If I organize a meeting in my Exchange calendar, and later on notice that it is in the wrong calendar, move it to my CalDAV calendar, iCal forgets to update the organizer correctly.
The organizer after moving is "invalid:nomail". The consequence of this is that I can no longer edit that item as I'm "not the organizer". Moving the item back to my Exchange calendar is impossible for the very same reason.
All I can do after moving is delete and start over. Anyone experiencing the same problem?

Also, you can't move the event to a different calendar if you're not the organizer.

Mail app dies when moving message between folders

Hi all -
I have had this problem for quite a while, both on an iPad and iphone so it is IOS related. It was in version 3.x and also in the current 4.2.1 version we are using now. Here is the case:
1. Email accounts are all gmail accounts in our case.
2. the task is moving an email from a folder I created in one account, to another folder I created in the same account. I have several gmail accounts..
3. I have yet to do this successfully. I select the email, select move, choose the target folder and wit in two seconds, I am returned to the home screen. Mail is still running in the background but the message goes nowhere. I am able to place messages in folders from the inbox, from spam but not from another folder.
Here are my questions: Does anyone else esperience this bug? What is the reporting site for IOS bugs with Apple, since they are not subscribers to this user forum?
Thanks for your attention

Okay, but first a few things:
A. It won't, in most cases, do a thing for freeing up any significant amount of memory. Very few apps that you quit from the MT Tray/Recents List will be running in the background. In the specific case of Mail, you won't do much of anything at all, as it will be cranking itself up again in the background pretty quickly. It's just what it does.
B. As I stated, the force quit is just the first of a whole series of recommended steps, all of which are laid out in the User Guide and all of which are described, discussed, recommended, etc., dozens of times per day in these and related forums. The sequence is summarized in the following boilerplate:
From the Tips & Troubleshooting section of the User Guide:
*Restarting and Resetting iPad*
If something isn’t working right, try restarting iPad, force quitting an app, or resetting iPad.
*Restart iPad* Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPad. To turn iPad back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
*Force quit an app* Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPad for a few seconds until a red slider appears, then press and hold the Home button until the app quits.
+If you can’t turn off iPad or if the problem continues, you may need to reset iPad. This should be done only if turning iPad off and on doesn’t resolve the problem.+
*Reset iPad* Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
*iPad Still Doesn’t Respond After Reset*
+Reset iPad settings.+ From the Home screen choose Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. All your settings are reset, but your data and media aren’t deleted.
If that doesn’t work, +erase all content on iPad+. See Resetting iPad.
If that doesn’t work, +restore the iPad software.+ See Removing a Backup.
You can call AppleCare if you like, but will wind up working through some or all of these same steps. The same is true of taking it into a Genius Bar.

ORA-00977 Error When Moving Table Between Tablespaces

I used the "Alter table <tablename> move tablespace <newtablespace>" command on tables that contain a LONG datatype, and get an ORA-00977 error. Was successful with other tables that did not contain a LONG. This was on a 8.1.7.0 database, running on Solaris 8. Any idea what the problem is?

Like most other useful Oracle features, it is not supported on tables with long columns. In order to change tablespaces with this table, you will have to export it, drop it, recreate it in the new tablespace then import the data into the new table.
Your other choice is to rebuild the table using clob instead of long.

Moving Albums Between Libraries

Hello -
I am recreating my iPhoto library, due to a major corruption when I transitioned from iPhoto 08 to iPhoto 09. Is there any way to move my folders/albums from the old library to the new library?

Perhaps iPhoto Library Manager can help with this - or even do the entire rebuild for you.

Moving photos between libraries

I take lots of photos, and, with previous incarnations of iPhoto, this was a bit of a problem. To get around it, I created multiple users on my computer, each with a themed library (family, travel, hobbies, etc.)
With iPhoto 6 I can have much larger libraries, and multiple libraries for a single user. I have migrated my libraries (via an external hard drive) back to my main user, and open them as needed without a problem.
Is there any way to move photos (original and modified, as a package) from one library to another? Or to merge libraries?
I can export and then import from one to another, but I lose the original. Or I can burn to a disc, and then import, but this is time consuming and wasteful of discs.
Any other suggestions?

luba:
Yes there is. The paid version of iPhoto Library Manager will let you move photos between libraries along with the originals, keywords, etc. It's about the only way to do it.
With iPhoto's new alias mode there is a way to have several users use the same set of source files but each have their own edits, etc. You would place the source files in the Shared library and everyone use them as their source files. FWIW I've created some Tutorials to assist users covert from a conventional library to an alias based system.

Moving pictures between libraries

Greetings, is there a convenient way to move pictures between libraries. Copy and paste doesn't work. I have tried the import function but the other libraries are grayed out. Any thoughts. Thanks

put the picture(s) in an album then choose: File>>Export>>Album as new library. Then import that library to the library you wish to move to. You could just export the master, but you'd lose any work you've done.You could also export the version, but you'd "bake in" any work you've done.
