Add a database cluster from an earlier version

Hi,
I need to migrate outlines and data from Essbase 7 to Essbase 11.1.2.3 - anyone tell me how I connect to my Essbase 7 cluster to be able to utilise the wizards for this?
thanks,
Robert.

You will need to export/import the data using EAS, Maxl.
You can try using the EAS migration wizard to migrate the majority of the other stuff.
Cheers

Fatal Error: The schema version of the database is from a newer version of WSUS

Hello,
CM2012 R2 RTM on Server2012 R2 RTM with SQL2012 SP1
installed SQL, WSUS and then CM.
When finished adding WSUS, there was a post installation message but I skipped it and continued to CM installation, as suggested on some blogs. WSUS in CM seems to be a real mystery... and there are multiple workarounds and suggestions.
Now my CM is ready to GO. Configured discovery, boundaries. All components appear green OK. My hand shaked when I click on post Deployment message related to WSUS in server manager. So I clicked it. And received: Post Deployment Failed. There is
a path to log file. The error:
Fatal Error: The schema version of the database is from a newer version of WSUS
than currently installed. You must either patch your WSUS server to at least
that version or drop the database. WSUS was installed with SQL DB.
What do you suggest?
Thanks.

Gerry,
1. I uninstalled WSUS, removed DB, restarted. And reinstall WSUS again. This time MS Management Console of WSUS could not be started. I did it after WSUS was added following your blog pix.
I checked c:\program files\update services, there were couple of missing directories by comparison what was in case when I installed WSUS after SQL but before CM: Tools, Shema, and another A.. something. I saw this issue on NOOB. And people copied these
directories from previous installation.
How we can explain this behavior on RTM version?
Then I uninstalled it again. And give another try... Here I found another interesting thing. Please compare your slide number 5 from your link and attached one. You can see that on Add Roles and Features Wizard page are missing items. Some
of them were found in next screen of my installation (I am using RTM server) but one API and Power shell cmdlets were not listed on final screen before start install. May be those are note important...
I reinstall again... and the MS Management Console fails again. Exactly the same thing that I saw during 2 weeks of trying to make works. Don't see what I can screw up here.
What about missing directories after reinstalling WSUS. Is that normal? And in IIS there is no WSUS.
I don't see here any difficult thing, just simple wizard... But it not works. Second CM server.
What I do wrong here to create a failure of MMC. There is any blog with examples of RTM Server 2012 and CM RTM. All stuff is 2012. So kind of guesses and no precise thing to do...
Sorry for my cry :). The only solution is to call MS and pay $250 for SUCH a trivial thing that not works.
Any help? Please see pics. Can you confirm that you have the same or more directories in Update Services
Thanks.
API and Power Shell Cmdlets feature missed if compare with yours slides.

I just reinstalled iTunes, and it will not open, as it says iTunes library itl. was created from an earlier version. Any idea what this means, and how I can get itunes to open?

That suggests that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

How to open project from an earlier version (RH x3) using RoboHelp 6.

Hello everyone, I need your help. I have recently upgraded
from RH x3 to RH V6. I have just completed the installation of RH6
after spending long time with Adobe customer support as it took
them long time to figure out how to provide me the unlocking key to
install RH v6.
BTW I have only installed RoboHelp 6 by itself. I did not
install their Source Control because we already have Visual Source
Safe which we have been using in our company.
Also, since I had Adobe Reader 8 installed on my PC, I did
not install Acrobat Element 7 either. As I suppose if Acrobat 7 or
higher is installed RH v6 was not going to install Acrobat Element
7.
Well, now after I have installed RH v6, my first step is to
find out how to open project from an earlier version (RH x3) using
RoboHelp 6.
RH x3 is installed on my old PC and I am working on my new PC
where I have installed RH V6.
Sorry, for providing you too many details, the purpose is
only to give you a clear picture.
Please, give me your feedback if I am doing everything
correct and how should I open the project from an earlier version.
Thanks

Hi Peter,
Thank you so much for the response. Actually, after I posted
the question on Forum we had lost internet connection for some time
and I just went ahead and tried it by myself.
This is what I did – since we use MS Visual Source
Safe, my all files were in the working folder of VSS in my c drive.
I just clicked the Open tab/More Files in RoboHelp Starter and
located the RoboHelp HTML Project File. It opened without any
problem. Everything looks alright.
Is there anything specific I should be checking to make sure
if it is working fine in this version of RH. Because I did not
create this project, somebody else did and I have never used this
tool before this is the first time I will be using.
I found your site pretty helpful though and it did have some
information about Source Safe. I still have one question related to
Visual Source Safe that Is RoboHelp v6 linked to VSS automatically
and check the files out from it automatically whenever a project is
opened or we have to manually set the link between the RH6 &
VSS.
In RH x3 whenever I would open a project it would prompt a
message that in order to open this project the following files need
to be writable, would you like to make them writable, selecting
that option would checkout all the files from the VSS to make them
writable. However, in RH V6 I opened an existing project and it
opened without checking out the project files from VSS. Do you have
any idea what’s happening?
Ps: Do you recommend any book on RH 6 for starters or any
other recommendation?
Your help is always appreciated

It keeps saying that I need to reboot my system from an earlier version but when I reboot my system, there is no change and I to completely remove firefox so I could even get back online, How am I supposed to use your program when it does this?!

I cannot open a document from an earlier version of pages.

Hope someone has a helpful solution for me. I am trying to access my resume that I did in an earlier version of Pages. I tried to open it today and saw an error saying that the document could not be opened. I have tried researching this and basically have no solution. I need my resume and don't know what to do. Has anyone else figured out a solution other than blowing up their computer?

Copy/paste from TextEdit works. The use of Pages v5 has created more problems than user solutions. Make certain you export to Word format as a backup. Pages v5.5.1 will make a huge 500Kb Word document. You will need to open and save it out from either MS Word, or the free LibreOffice to reduce it down to small double-digits in size.
Sharon, there is a Yosemite community under the general category of MacOS & System Software. Post your Yosemite questions there, and you should get competent answers to your questions. Responders to your question(s) will want to know the year and make of your Mac, how much memory is installed, and if you upgraded to Yosemite from Mavericks, or an older OS X installation. The Apple > About this Mac can provide useful info. Be as concise as you can while still conveying the issue you want resolved. If you are running anti-virus software, state that as it is a known performance and stability decrement for OS X.
Yosemite is now one revision beyond the base release. Each new iteration of updates to Yosemite will fix bugs, attend to some usability issues, and improve performance. I am running Yosemite on a 2014 MacBook Air with 4GB of memory. It has been flawless — if not overly art-deco for my taste.

AE CS5 can't load projects from an earlier version

Hi!
I have several AE projects created back in 2006. I've tried to open them in AE CS5 but I get an error:
(Translated from spanish) After Effects error: this file was created in an earlier version of After Effects [5.5.1 (Windows)] and can't be opened. You can convert this file using an earlier version of After Effects and saving it again.
What a solution! I can't even remember what AE version was used to create the file back in 2006!
Is this normal? new versions of AE can't load earlier version projects or what?
What can I do? I don't have an earlier version of AE at hand right now...
OK, Let's suppose I did that project in After Effects 6 (I'm not sure, but maybe). Let's suppose I can install and run AE6 in my Windows 7 x64 machine (I'm not going to downgrade to Windows XP x32). OK, I load the project, And save it again? What's the point on doing this? I can't save it in AE-CS5 format from AE6. If it was created in AE6 I can only save it in AE6 format (the format that it already has) or older, but not newer!
Just imagine if MS Word 2010 could not load docs created in MS Word 2003...

Yes, this is normal and it's documented in the help. The rest is beside the point - even Microsoft could have decided to cease support on their old formats and it was actually under discussion for Office 2007 to avoid the various security issues associated with those old formats. You know, programs evolve and it's simply not possible to always guarantee 100% legacy compatibility....

Do the Premiere templates come with 2014 install or do I have to get them from an earlier version of Premiere?

I teach at a high school and my IT person just installed CC 2014, but I do not see Premiere templates. Do I have to install them off of an earlier version?

There are no template files for Creative Cloud, so the "workaround" is to use the files from the CS6 version. You can manually copy the content across into the CC folders:
COPY these three folders:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS6\presets\Styles
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS6\presets\Templates
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS6\presets\Textures
into:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CC\presets\
There are instructions at http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/library-functional-content-missing.html to get the CS6 files if you have deleted them from your system.

FAQ: How do I migrate my saved presets from an earlier version of Photoshop or import/export them?

You now have the option to migrate presets from a previous version, export presets and to save to a directory as a zip file (great for instructors).
Preset Migration migrates your saved presets, not your preferences. The message says "Would you like to migrate presets from the following versions?" It simply carries on the preset files you have already saved (things like Brush Tips, HDR Toning presets, Curve presets, Styles etc.) to CS6.
HOW TO USE PHOTOSHOP CS6 AUTOMATED PRESET MIGRATION
Photoshop CS6 offers the great new functionality of automated preset migration for your custom presets from Photoshop versions as far back as CS3.
When Photoshop CS6 launches for the first time, it checks for previous installations of Photoshop on the computer to see if there are custom presets that need to be migrated. Photoshop looks in each of these presets folders for your saved custom preset files that it can migrate.
Preset migration script copies all the files in user preset folders of older versions. If there are more than one preset files with the same name, presets from the newer version will be given priority. These types of presets will be migrated by the script:
3DLUTs, Actions, Black and White, Brushes, Channel Mixer, Color Books, Color Swatches, Contours, Curves, Custom Shapes, Deco, Duotones, Exposure, Flash 3D, Gradients, HDR Toning, Hue and Saturation, Levels, Lighting Effects, Lights, Materials, Meshes, Optimized Colors, Optimized Output Settings, Optimized Settings, Patterns, Render Settings, Repousse, Scripts, Styles, Tools, Video, Volumes, Widgets, Zoomify, and Workspaces
If this is not your first launch and you would like Photoshop to look for presets,
Choose Edit > Presets > Migrate Presets
When Photoshop notices that you have custom presets saved in their appropriate folders it will give the message "Would you like to migrate presets from the following versions?"
Choose Yes. Photoshop will begin the preset migration script.
When the migration has completed Photoshop will pop up another message saying:
"Preset files from older versions successfully migrated"
In order to use your newly migrated presets, you must restart Photoshop.
If you had Photoshop CS6 beta installed and have saved custom presets, you will need to export those presets before uninstalling the previous version and installing the release version of Photoshop CS6.
HOW TO SAVE PRESETS
For PS, check that you have saved all your presets using:
Edit>Preset Manager... (in previous versions) Edit>Presets>Preset Manager... (in CS6)
HOW TO IMPORT AND EXPORT PRESETS
In the main PS menu,
Choose Edit > Presets > Export/Import Presets
In this dialog you can export the presets and then import them when you load the new version using the same Export/Import dialog.
If you have gone through the automated preset migration and notice that some of your presets didn't get migrated with the rest, make sure you have exported your presets to their default folders.
PRESET FILE LOCATIONS:
(Note that there are two different folder locations for presets, one for application provided default presets, and one for user created preset files)
These are the presets that are unique to each user on the computer. These can be migrated automatically: (this is the location that the user should save their personal presets in)
Windows: Users/[user name]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS6/Presets
Mac: Users/[Username]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS6/Presets
These are the default presets that ship with Photoshop. These presets can be imported but will not copy over using the migrate feature because each version of Photoshop will install defaults for that version.
Windows 64 bit:
    [Hard Drive]:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Presets
WindowsXP and Windows7 32 bit:
      [Hard Drive]:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Presets
Mac:
    [Hard Drive]/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS6/Presets
Frequently used preset filename extensions:
ABR Brush preset
ACO Swatch preset
ASL Style preset
ATN Action preset
CSH Custom Shape preset
GRD Gradient preset
PAT Pattern preset
SHC Contour preset

Do you have an iPhoto Library from the old machine? If you have then simply open it - there's no importing involved.
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
If you don't have an actual library there is no way to do what you want.

Why can the old projects from an earlier version of elements transfer to 11

I just purchased a premiere elements 10, and i tried to open a project from the older version and i says it can not open

Depends on how old your old version is, I suppose... In any case, ask in the PRE forum and provide a lot more info...

How can I access the add-ons from my earlier version of Firefox?

Firefox disappeared from my computer after a malware attack. Unfortunartely, my add-ons and extensions have also disappeared. I've tried to re-install my original Firefox 4, but without success. Firefox 9.01 has been installed and I cannot access my original Firefox 4 and m;y add-ons and extensions. Can anybody help please. in English

As far as i understand the plugins are installed in the 'plugins' directory (look for this inside the directory where you installed the Firefox). In Windows it should be something like 'C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Plugins'. If plugins are there then this directory should NOT BE empty
You can also cross check whether the plugins are there are not via Firefox itself (Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins) See if this lists out anything or not.
Most probably what happened is that when the new version of the Firefox was installed it overwrote that 'plugins' directory and hence now is not able to find them.

How do i restore all my bookmarks from an earlier version of mozilla firefox?

Firefox has been reminding me to update my Firefox version. And I did. After installing the new version, it restarted my computer. Now the first thing I did is to restore my previous tabs, the tabs that were open when i upgraded Firefox. But there were no history of my tabs.
Then I started looking at my Bookmarks. I lost all my bookmarks. My heart is pumping now and I want to cry. these are years of bookmark collection from my various works. Am I being penalized?
Please help me. Can I just revert back to the old version? Will this permit me to access my old bookmarks (never mind the tabs, they are still fresh in my mind)? I can't even remember the old version of firefox I am using.
Why didn't Firefox made a warning?
I have been a user of Firefox for a long time. This is the first time that I have lost my bookmarks. This is painful. I seek your kind support. Thank you.

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

You can try to restore the bookmarks from a JSON backup (bookmarks-####-##-##_xxxx_$$$$.json) in the bookmarkbackups folder.

How do I transfer bookmarks from an earlier version of Firefox to the present up to date version plus the Taskbar with File, Edit etc

I downloaded 6.2 and the previous bookmarks were not transferred nor was the Task bar. How do I retrieve the old bookmarks and Task bar and put them in 6.2

See:
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/common-questions-after-updating-firefox
Do you mean the Status bar?
The Status Bar has been replaced by the Add-ons bar that extensions can use for icons and information.
You can use this extension to get the Status Bar back:
* Status-4-Evar: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/
Which Firefox version did you previously had? 
Firefox should still use the same profile with all personal data.
Is other personal data missing?
A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

I have to find a time stamp for a website visited from an earlier version of an Iphone, how do i do this?

basically someone has an old iphone and there was inappropiate websites visited on the phone and i was blamed for it.
I want to know how to find out the exact time and date these were visited and how they were accessed. and to clear my name as they were instead of looking at how this could have happened, they said i hacked into the phone and used it, when i didnt even know they had thier phone in my house at the time.
thanks for any answers or help.

I have managed to find the solution to this problem in another thread. I have copied the response from that thread below.
The solution that worked was to navigate to the preferences file and delete the plist file as described below.

RE: My iphoto Library is Empty ?????
Sep 12, 2005 1:13 PM (in response to Nic Hard)
Nic Here are some of the standard fixes I think may help in your case: 4. Your iPhoto preferences file may be corrupted.
(MAKE SURE you QUIT iPhoto first)
You will find it in your Home directory:
(Home/your account) >Library>Preferences>com.apple.iPhoto.plist Remove or trash the preference (.plist file) and restart iPhoto. If it still doesn't work go on to these remedies, in order. 5. Bad Album data?
Old Toad says:
1 - move the Albums folder and the AlbumData.xml file to the desktop.
2 - launch iPhoto. It if launches successfully you probably have a corrupt album. To locate the bad "apple", pun intended, do the following: 1 - move one of the individual album folders and it's associated data file into the new Albums folder that was created in the iPhoto Library folder.
2 - launch iPhoto. If it's successful do the same with the next album folder and data file. If iPhoto doesn't launch successfully, that's a bad one and remove it and the data file.
3 - repeat for each individual album folder in the old Albums folder. 6. Rebuild Library
QUIT IPHOTO FIRST
Relaunch while holding down the key combination below for your version
Option+Shift IPHOTO 2
CommandOptionShift IPHOTO 4
Command+Option IPHOTO 5

Add a database cluster from an earlier version
