Archive Confusion

I'm stuck in making archive
Let me explain what i want exactly.
Here is the main (index.php) file. Download it and check out the links on the headlines and news. I have made a link for the top news with the name of that file (detail1.php)
Here's the index.php
http://www.mediafire.com/?3z4oa1tx4b2vw62
Here's the detail1.php
http://www.mediafire.com/?c922kuw3coi7ho1
Now, let's suppose it's a newspaper of 27th August' 2010 and obviously it consists of files like index.php(main file), detail1.php(link file) and so on as there are a lot of news on index.php .. Now, on 28th August 2010 there will be a newspaper with new detail pages. But I want to keep the old pages too in an Archive.
Archive construction will be like the below link exactly!!!
http://www.ummat.com.pk/2010/archive.html
Now, how to handle this case .. Please help me with detailed answer!!!
Thanks

Keeping dat in mind that i want the old newspaper with the same effects ..
To understand it,
Open index.php
see the effects on the page and link .. Now, on 28th Aug there'll be some other news with other details .. But I want the same effects for the old archive too.

PM Order Archiving - Help Required!

Hi All,
I am trying to archive PM Orders and I find myself in a situation where irrespective of the Order Type or Planning Plant Condition that I give the archive pre-processing spool gives absolutely no Log Summary.
There are no records which are marked with deletion flag and indicator. I am unable to archive write them as well.
I have configured Residence Times R1 and R2 both as 0.
Any help/suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
Looking forward for some solutions,
Regards,
Janani

Hi venkat,
Are the orders TECO and the DLFL (Deletion Flag) set on the orders themselves?
there r many dependencies you should think of when trying to archive the orders -
you should archive many other objects like _ Material documents, Purchase orders, notification etc'
you should try to archive one order which has all the functionality used in your implementation like external service , service entries, time and material consumed upon it. then teco it, settle it and flag for deletion, when you run the archiving program it will give you all the dependent documents to be archived , then try archiving them in the order they were created.
You have marked a PM order for deletion.( change in status DLFL). You must now set a deletion indicator. The residence time 1 is the time between setting the deletionflag and deletion indicator. Residence time 2 is the time between setting the deletion indicator and deletion from the database. In the spool of the archiveing run you must be able te see why the order can`t be archived.

Standby database Archive log destination confusion

Hi All,
I need your help here..
This is the first time that this situation is arising. We had sync issues in the oracle 10g standby database prior to this archive log destination confusion.So we rebuilt the standby to overcome this sync issue. But ever since then the archive logs in the standby database are moving to two different locations.
The spfile entries are provided below:
*.log_archive_dest_1='LOCATION=/m99/oradata/MARDB/archive/'
*.standby_archive_dest='/m99/oradata/MARDB/standby'
Prior to rebuilding the standby databases the archive logs were moving to /m99/oradata/MARDB/archive/ location which is the correct location. But now the archive logs are moving to both /m99/oradata/MARDB/archive/ and /m99/oradata/MARDB/standby location, with the majority of them moving to /m99/oradata/MARDB/standby location. This is pretty unusual.
The archives in the production are moving to /m99/oradata/MARDB/archive/ location itself.
Could you kindly help me overcome this issue.
Regards,
Dan

Hi Anurag,
Thank you for update.
Prior to rebuilding the standby database the standby_archive_dest was set as it is. No modifications were made to the archive destination locations.
The primary and standby databases are on different servers and dataguard is used to transfer the files.
I wanted to highlight one more point here, The archive locations are similar to the ones i mentioned for the other stndby databases. But the archive logs are moving only to /archive location and not to the /standby location.

Confusing Application of Archive and Retention Personal Tags and Policies

I created some custom personal tags and applied it to the retention policy assigned to my account and started the managed folder assistant on my mailbox and when I saw the new tags in Outlook, I applied personal tags at the folder level of all of the folders
in my Outlook 2010 profiles by right clicking on each folder, selecting Properties, then selecting Folder Policy, then selected the retention and archive policy I wanted and then clicked OK to save the settings.
After about 15 minutes, I had finished going through all the folders, I went back to look at the folder properties and instead of showing the custom policies I just set, they have "Use Parent Folder Policy" selected on the Policy tab for both Folder
Policy and Online Archive. It looks like the settings are not being saved/applied or they are reverting back to defaults. However, some messages show retention and archive dates and some messages are moving to my archive mailbox.
This is confusing to me, so this looks like it is going to generate a large amount of tech support calls when we roll this out and it will be difficult to explain to end users how this works.
Our retention policy does not contain any default archiving policy or retention policy on the Inbox (the 2 year default was not applied) to our policy. So mail in the Inbox is not automatically moved unless a user applies a personal tag to archive
and delete the messages.
How is this supposed to work and how long does it take for folder policies to be applied from personal tags and then work as expected in Outlook?

As for when the managed folder assistant runs, it depends on your Service Pack level. For Exchange 2010 SP1 and later, the retention policies run 24x7 with a throttling policy applied to the Mailbox Folder Assistant. Also, there is no guarantee
that the managed folder process will necessarily finish in the time allotted. In fact, there should be messages on the Exchange server side that document how many mailboxes were processed and I think, how many were not.
For the timing in general, if a tag is applied, my understanding is that with the default settings it could be up to a day, if not longer until things begin processing. It depends on what window you have for retention policies to process, what might
already be in the queue to process next, etc.
For the Start and End date question, my assumption would be that on the day that it is supposed to start, it will be placed in the queue to be processed as soon as possible, The same for the end date.
Hope that helps.

HT4207 I have same problem. But my archive is off and was never on. I downloaded a bunch off apps and it changed. I can swipe delete, but there is no longer a delete button to hit after I read the email? Confused

My gmail on my iPhone 4S was working perfect.
I bought a iTunes card and registered it and bought some new apps
And tried many free ones. Now when I got to in box and read
An email the delete button option is now missing. I can swipe delete, and my archive is and has always been off.
At the bottom if the page on gmail on the phone the whole row of options delete, move etc
Is missing. Can anyone help?

You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

Time Machine no longer backs up after archive & install

I have just had something mysterious happen to my Macbook - it spontaneously shut down, then wouldn't restart past a gray screen with Apple logo. After trying every troubleshooting page I could find, I ended up doing an archive and (re)install of Leopard on my hard drive. (btw, I ran the Disk Utility hard drive diagnostic, and it said the HD is fine, though I'm skeptical because it's making new noises I've never heard before.)
I finished that install, restarted, everything seemed fine, and I re-connected the external hard drive that had been used for my Time Machine backups before. Now, every time it attempts to back up, it's stuck on "preparing" for 30 minutes, then starts copying SLOWLY and the progress bar says "6 KB of 10 GB." Well, I have a lot more than 10 GB to back up. Then the process halts and I get an error message: "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume." And I can't get any more specific information about the error - can't find a log file or anything.
I know that there's a troubleshooting article about Time Machine issues with only backing up 10 GB, but mine doesn't even get that far, and besides, this is not my first Time Machine backup - I have no other external drive big enough to transfer my older data to while I reformat this drive as the support article suggests.
I was thinking that perhaps a system setting got messed up somehow and that maybe I should just forget this archive & install thing I did and instead do a fresh erase & install on my Macbook hard drive and then restore from Time Machine's old backup (a day or so before my Macbook started acting weird). But 1. would that make a difference? And 2. if Leopard gives me an error while backing up in Time Machine, what if I do the erase & install and I get an error trying to restore from Time Machine? That would be a nightmare.
My Macbook has always been so reliable - I'm very confused about what's going on! Any help would be appreciated.

Hmm; the external drive had no errors, according to Disk Utility.
Here are the time machine logs from Console:
1/13/08 12:14:47 AM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.backupd[301]) Exited abnormally: Bus error

I need help to recover/relink mail after archive and install

I am helping my friend fix her 15" G4 PowerBook after memory failures caused many crashes. There was no recovering short of a reinstall via "archive and install". All that worked great, but now Mail doesn't recognize the accounts, mailboxes, signatures, etc. that are still located in the user/library/mail folder.
What's up with that? I can't figure out how to relink Mail to this stuff.
Here's more detail:
1) After lots of prior debugging (Disk Utility, Disk Warrior, Apple Hardware Test, single-user commands per Apple tech notes), I did the A&I to 10.3.4 from the original disks.
2) Per Dr. Smoke and The X Lab, I ran the 10.3.9 combo installer right away so that the "older" system would not get confused by the "newer" stuff in the Previous Systems folder.
3) I Launched Mail and it started anew, i.e. didn't recognize accounts and wanted to start over.
Thanks for any help.

The account settings are stored in HOME/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist. It looks like that file became corrupt -- maybe its permissions went awry (Disk Utility cannot fix that) and Mail just deleted the file to create a new one.
If your friend doesn't have a backup copy of that file, just set up the accounts from scratch all over again. If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don't. Just enter the account information and Mail will automagically rediscover the data in HOME/Library/Mail/ when done.
You'll also have to re-configure most settings in Mail > Preferences. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it's enabled.

Thanks Roger, but I'm still confused. Can you show me what to put under 'New Item" for adding new episode

Is there a feed cleaner- upper program :-) that I can use for my messed up feed in feedburner? what are the minimum steps to put under a new episode "item" Do I need an enclosure withe mp3 < new episode> for each new episode? I want to just use the album art on my original itune podcast and just add new episodes to my podcast. I am so confused and frustrated. :-(
This is what I would like to see in final product, in itunes store.

I hate to tell you this but I am not aware of a way that you can. Either you will have to get it out of the radius server or copy the config from the old wlc to the new wlc. Like a PSK its encrypted and you cant extract it.

Windows Explorer misreads large-file .zip archives

   I just spent about 90 minutes trying to report this problem through
the normal support channels with no useful result, so, in desperation,
I'm trying here, in the hope that someone can direct this report to some
useful place.
   There appears to be a bug in the .zip archive reader used by Windows
Explorer in Windows 7 (and up, most likely).
   An Info-ZIP Zip user recently reported a problem with an archive
created using our Zip program. The archive was valid, but it contained
a file which was larger than 4GiB. The complaint was that Windows
Explorer displayed (and, apparently believed) an absurdly large size
value for this large-file archive member. We have since reproduced the
problem.
   The original .zip archive format includes uncompressed and compressed
sizes for archive members (files), and these sizes were stored in 32-bit
fields. This caused problems for files which are larger than 4GiB (or,
on some system types, where signed size values were used, 2GiB). The
solution to this fundamental limitation was to extend the .zip archive
format to allow storage of 64-bit member sizes, when necessary. (PKWARE
identifies this format extension as "Zip64".)
   The .zip archive format includes a mechanism, the "Extra Field", for
storing various kinds of metadata which had no place in the normal
archive file headers. Examples include OS-specific file-attribute data,
such as Finder info and extended attributes for Apple Macintosh; record
format, record size, and record type data for VMS/OpenVMS; universal
file times and/or UID/GID for UNIX(-like) systems; and so on. The Extra
Field is where the 64-bit member sizes are stored, when the fixed 32-bit
size fields are too small.
   An Extra Field has a structure which allows multiple types of extra
data to be included. It comprises one or more "Extra Blocks", each of
which has the following structure:
       Size (bytes) | Description
      --------------+------------
            2       | Type code
            2       | Number of data bytes to follow
        (variable) | Extra block data
   The problem with the .zip archive reader used by Windows Explorer is
that it appears to expect the Extra Block which includes the 64-bit
member sizes (type code = 0x0001) to be the first (or only) Extra Block
in the Extra Field. If some other Extra Block appears at the start of
the Extra Field, then its (non-size) data are being incorrectly
interpreted as the 64-bit sizes, while the actual 64-bit size data,
further along in the Extra Field, are ignored.
   Perhaps the .zip archive _writer_ used by Windows Explorer always
places the Extra Block with the 64-bit sizes in this special location,
but the .zip specification does not demand any particular order or
placement of Extra Blocks in the Extra Field, and other programs
(Info-ZIP Zip, for example) should not be expected to abide by this
artificial restriction. For details, see section "4.5 Extensible data
fields" in the PKWARE APPNOTE:
      http://www.pkware.com/documents/casestudies/APPNOTE.TXT
   A .zip archive reader is expected to consider the Extra Block type
codes, and interpret accordingly the data which follow. In particular,
it's not sufficient to trust that any particular Extra Block will be the
first one in the Extra Field. It's generally safe to ignore any Extra
Block whose type code is not recognized, but it's crucial to scan the
Extra Field, identify each Extra Block, and handle it according to its
type.
   Here are some relatively small (about 14MiB each) test archives which
illustrate the problem:
      http://antinode.info/ftp/info-zip/ms_zip64/test_4g.zip
      http://antinode.info/ftp/info-zip/ms_zip64/test_4g_V.zip
      http://antinode.info/ftp/info-zip/ms_zip64/test_4g_W.zip
   Correct info, from UnZip 6.00 ("unzip -lv"):

(In these reports, "Length" is the uncompressed size; "Size" is the
compressed size.)
   Incorrect info, from (Windows 7) Windows Explorer:
Archive        Name          Compressed size   Size
test_4g.zip    test_4g.txt         14,454 KB   562,951,376,907,238 KB
test_4g_V.zip test_4g.txt         14,454 KB   8,796,110,221,518 KB
test_4g_W.zip test_4g.txt         14,454 KB   1,464,940,363,777 KB
   Faced with these unrealistic sizes, Windows Explorer refuses to
extract the member file, for lack of (petabytes of) free disk space.
   The archive test_4g.zip has the following Extra Blocks: universal
time (type = 0x5455) and 64-bit sizes (type = 0x0001). test_4g_V.zip
has: PWWARE VMS (type = 0x000c) and 64-bit sizes (type = 0x0001).
test_4g_W.zip has: NT security descriptor (type = 0x4453), universal
time (type = 0x5455), and 64-bit sizes (type = 0x0001). Obviously,
Info-ZIP UnZip has no trouble correctly finding the 64-bit size info in
these archives, but Windows Explorer is clearly confused. (Note that
"1,464,940,363,777 KB" translates to 0x0005545500000400 (bytes), and
"0x00055455" looks exactly like the size, "0x0005" and the type code
"0x5455" for a "UT" universal time Extra Block, which was present in
that archive. This is consistent with the hypothesis that the wrong
data in the Extra Field are being interpreted as the 64-bit size data.)
   Without being able to see the source code involved here, it's hard to
know exactly what it's doing wrong, but it does appear that the .zip
reader used by Windows Explorer is using a very (too) simple-minded
method to extract 64-bit size data from the Extra Field, causing it to
get bad data from a properly formed archive.
   I suspect that the engineer involved will have little trouble finding
and fixing the code which parses an Extra Field to extract the 64-bit
sizes correctly, but if anyone has any questions, we'd be happy to help.

   You seem to misunderstand the situation. The facts are these:
   1. For your convenience, I've provided three test archives, each of
which includes a file larger than 4GiB. These archives are valid.
   2. Info-ZIP UnZip (version 6.00 or newer) can process these archives
correctly. This is consistent with the fact that these archives are
valid.
   3. Programs from other vendors can process these archives correctly.
I've supplied a screenshot showing one of them (7-Zip) doing so, as you
requested. This is consistent with the fact that these archives are
valid.
   4. Windows Explorer (on Windows 7) cannot process these archives
correctly, apparently because it misreads the (Zip64) file size data.
I've supplied a screenshot of Windows Explorer showing the bad file size
it gets, and the failure that occurs when one tries to use it to extract
the file from one of these archives, as you requested. This is
consistent with the fact that there's a bug in the .zip reader used by
Windows Explorer.
   Yes, "other zip application runs correctly." Info-ZIP UnZip runs
correctly. Only Windows Explorer does _not_ run correctly.

Deleting Archive page of iWeb blog

Can the Archive page from a blog be deleted?
I have searched and found others are having the same publish error that I am and the only common thread is that the archive page is creating the publish error on there blog and mine:
"Can't Create the File Shapeimage1_Link0.png. The disk may be damaged, full or you may not have sufficient access privileges"
This error happens on the archive page, which I cannot conrtol anyhting on.
It seems to happen once there are 350+ entries on my blog and on others. Is iWeb known to have such a limit to entires? I don't remember reading that when I bought or started using iWeb.
I have followed this advice posted here before:
UNKNOWN PUBLISHING ERROR OCCURS
CAN’T CREATE THE FILE “SHAPEIMAGE1_LINK0.PNG.” THE DISK MAY BE DAMAGED, FULL, OR YOU MAY NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT ACCESS PRIVILEGES
"Many times these error messages will point to a specific page or even a specific file. If not, you may also be able to determine the source of the problem by noticing which page caused publishing to stop, while publishing was in progress. Fixing the problem may be as simple as deleting the specified file or page from the site. Make a copy of your Domain file, place it into an empty folder, and place this folder into your Documents folder. Now, open iWeb and delete the particular page the error message points to and try to publish again; first to a folder, and if that is successful, then to .Mac. If this works, go back to the copied Domain file, open the site from this Domain by double-clicking on the Domain file, and see if you can identify the specific file on the page that is giving problems. Make sure that no illegal characters, such as forward slashes or colons, are used in file names."
However, since my error happens on the archive page, that I cannot control, this isn't even a hope at a solution.
Either way, I can easily live without the archive as the blog can be searched and the archive takes forever to load and wastes space.
Going back and deleting old posts is not an option as I feel it defeats the purpose of having a blog at all.
I hate to stop blogging and using iWeb, but until it is solved, I cannot create new posts.
Can the archive be deleted or otherwise removed from my blog?

jabberwock (Alice)
Ack! Now I'm really confused.... it's funny actually.... jabberwock is kind of a genderless name, right? It's fine with me, I just as soon imagined a male jabberwock. Then Lorna kept referring to a Phyllis in her emails and I asked "Who?" and then she told me, "You know....Phyllis as in Jabberwock!". But I guess it's actually Alice and not Phyllis, unless there are two of you! Haha. I actually did ask myself "Phyllis as in abenningfield? Where's the "A" come from?" It all makes sense now.
Yesterday I got posts and it was covered by the
image....well I learned that the image has to stay
within the text square.
I think the biggest problem with the Apple comments system is that you do have to "think" about where the comments will show up (if you get any!). I really do like to think of my blog entries as individual web pages. I tend to put photos all over and different text boxes everywhere and generally move things all around. I guess the Apple comments would really mess things for me because it would probably want to put the comments behind a lot of my photos and content just like you experienced.
icomment/haloscan is a lot better because you can specify exactly where to put the "Add comments" link...and of course the comments open in a popup window.

How do I organize photos in DVD size folders, by topic, by date, etc? I plan to set up a new archive on an external hard drive (1 TB) for about 7500 photos. Some from a series of XP files, the rest from iPhoto. I use iPhoto11 on Lion with a 2011 MacBoo

I need to know several answers, and I don't feel I can do it without the basic folder system. Also, I understand burning folders instead of individual photos or albums gives you more space on a DVD. How can I keep the captions on my photos (not events) when I print or transfer to a new folder? I have been using computers for 20+ years for photos, and have scanned some on Windows and transferred some but not all that I wish to archive in new compositions, albums, whatever that are not all on iPhoto. i also am concerned about overflowing my capacity on MacBook Pro 2011. Tne only way I know is to copy photos from the Windows to folders on my HD, then copy and paste photos or albums or events to HD, then create a new folder and fill it to the appropriate DVD size. Is this my only option? I also thought I should download future photos to my Canon programming that comes with EOS cameras and edit and then decide which photos to save to iPhoto library and which to save only to my archival HD?

Paragraphs help the reader, just saying.
What are you actually trying to do? Why do you need "DVD size" folders if you're creatng an Archive on an external hard drive?
Also, I understand burning folders instead of individual photos or albums gives you more space on a DVD.
It makes no difference at all.
How can I keep the captions on my photos (not events) when I print or transfer to a new folder?
You can export while writing the metadata to the file in most cases.
Tne only way I know is to copy photos from the Windows to folders on my HD, then copy and paste photos or albums or events to HD, then create a new folder and fill it to the appropriate DVD size.
HD? Another HD? You use HD there in a way that makes no sense. What's the point of 'DVD size'?
I also thought I should download future photos to my Canon programming that comes with EOS cameras and edit and then decide which photos to save to iPhoto library and which to save only to my archival HD?
Does this have any relation to the previous questions? You know you can delete from iPhoto, right?
You're somewhat confused and you need to
1. Decide what exactly you want to do
2. Then go about it.
If I understand you correctly - and there's no guarantee that I do - the easiest thing is to bring all your Photos into iPhoto and do everything from there.
You can have an archive on an external disk, you can sort and select and edit with or via iPhoto

Best approach to convert HD camcorder footage to blue-ray (and archive)

I have a Canon Vixia HV30 camcorder that I have used to take HD footage. I would like to archive the tapes' raw footage (for backup purposes) and also burn a blue-ray for each tape. Prior to the Canon (and switching to Macs) I had been using Studio on a Windows system to do the same for footage from a standard def Sony camcorder. Despite reading through the material on this forum and elsewhere I am confused about a couple of items and am hoping someone can help me understand how to archive and burn the camroder footage to BD easily.
Coming from the Windows environment, I was used to Studio taking raw footage and converting the entire tape to one .avi file that I could then edit in a baisc manner (trim, add menus, add transitions, add chapters, etc. but not adding other audio, etc.) and burn...all in Studio. The Windows desktop I had been using for standard def is not powerful enough for HD (it's from 2004) so I have to explore other options.
I have a MacBook Pro with a 2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo process and 4 GB memory and am using Mac OS X 10.6.8. I also have iMovie 08 (7.1.4 [585]) and Toast Titanium Pro with the HD/BD plug in (11.0.04). Toast will not recognize the Canon camcorder connected using the Firewire 400 connection (but will recognize the Sony). So I have used iMovie to download the camcorder footage to my MBP in HD (full quality).
Here are my questions:
1. when downloading, it appears that iMovie does not retain the raw/same format as used by the Canon but converts it to something called Apple Intermediate Codecc. Does this converstion affect the quality of the footage? I do not want to use the convered material as archival material if it's already been converted once.
2. If the answer to # 1 is yes, iMovie converts the raw footage, is there another program that I can use in a Mac-environment that will simply download the footage in it's original format?
3. iMovie also splits up the footage into clips vs. showing one file and I cannot combine the clips into one clip (to be analogous to the workflow I have been used to in Studio). Is there a way to do so? Short of backing up my entire laptop (which I do), how can I extract the original footage from iMovie and copy it for archiving on a NAS drive?
4. Where is the best "place"/approach to perform basic editing (adding menu, adding chapters for different sections of the disc, etc.) on the footage?
5. If the answer to #4 is iMovie, would I then simply burn the iMovie project in Toast to Blue-ray?
I had thought achieving my goals would have been easy in a Mac environment (like it is for everything else) but am surprised to find it so difficult compared to how easy it was in Studio. (Am I really better off getting a lower-end Windows 7 desktop and upgrading Studio and keep that just for converting our HD camcorder tapes to blue-ray? I would rather not do so of course.)
Thanks in advance for your help.

Calbe and AppleMan1958
Thanks for the replies. Based on your replies, I think I can stay in the Mac-environment.
1 and 2. I cannot archive as AppleMan1958 suggested to keep the original without conversion because the footage is HDV 1080i. I understand however that iMovie will import and convert using a lossles codec. (The camera is tape-based and doesn't show up in Finder.)
3. Having archived copy (if there is software that will let me do so for HDV) will negate the need to find the iMovie "version" but if necessary can do so directly.
4. One follow-up questions...if I use iMovies, do I simply use the project or the actual movie for purposes of burning to disc?
5. I agree Calbe...it's different so I'm thinking it's difficult. I am sure I'll get the hang of it once I better understand how the flow works from camera to disc!
AppleMan1958, is there another consumer level app that you can recommend that I can use for archiving HDV?
Thanks for the quick replies.

Connecting a disconnected archive to a mailbox other than primary

We had an issue with the server that was hosting our archive databases. While we were getting it corrected, all of the archive mailboxes were disconnected from the primary mailboxes and new archives were created. The problem with the server was corrected,
and I have been in the process of reconnecting the disconnected archives back to the primary mailbox. The problem we are running in to is that everyone is now missing 2 - 4 weeks of archived e-mail that is in the new archives that was created. We have
to be able to access this e-mail for legal purposes. I have upped the retention period for holding on to those disconnected archives, so we don't lose them after 30 days. I'm wondering if there is a way to connect these disconnected archives to a different
mailbox, so that this e-mail can be retained. I tried connecting the disabled archive to a mailbox other than the primary user using the following shell command
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Connect-Mailbox -Identity "815ad6d6-2ee4-4c77-9c14-d0bfb696da37" -Archive -User "Archive Retent
ion" -Database "Archive1"
but found out that the guid of both archive mailboxes are the same. Anybody have any ideas how I can connect a disconnected archive to a user other than the primary user? I hope this hasn't been to confusing. I'll try to sum up here:
1. Archives got disconnected
2. New archives got created
3. Now in the process of reconnecting archives from number 1 to primary mailbox
4. There are now e-mails in the new archives from number 2 that need to be accessed
5. Trying to figure out how to connect the disconnected archives from number 2 to a different mailbox in order to access and retain the e-mails.
Thanks.
James
P.S.
I did find this article --
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb232039.aspx -- that suggests that connecting an archived mailbox
to a mailbox other than the primary is not possible. So, maybe I'm looking for suggestions of how I can access the e-mail from these disconnected archives.

Agree with Andy. Seems like there is no easy way to recover the items from the additional archive mailbox.
If you decide to export the archive item into pst file, you can use cmdlet New-MailboxExportRequest
-IsArchive
New-MailboxExportRequest

Or due to the important and urgent, I would suggest you make a phone to PSS directly.

Can I partition my HD when I Archive and Install the OS?

I may need to perform an Archive and Install of OS X 10.6 due to some glitches, and this was recommended by an Apple tech support. If I do go through with this (hassle), does anyone know whether it is possible, to choose at that time to create a 2nd partition on my HD? I have a new MacBook Pro and during the installation/migration process of retrieving my data and transferring it from a backup HD to the new computer, I did not have an opportunity to create a 2nd (or more) partition. Anyone know if this is possible when doing an Archive & Install without a lot of hassle?
Thanks!

If you understood Apple's support people correctly, they seem to be a bit confused. Snow Leopard doesn't have an "Archive and Install" option. It has an upgrade install method. You can also launch Disk Utility early in the installation process to do the equivalent of an "Erase and Install" method.

As soon as the installation process shows you a "Utility" menu, open Disk Utility and use it to partition the computer's disk. After the installation, copy your data from the backup drive.

Searching Archive for Older Mac 10.4 (non Intel) Computer Lost Flash Player

Hello Forum Users!
I'm sorry to bother you, but checked recent posts and knowledge base and cannot seem to find my problem listed.
Problem starts and ends with older Mac operating system (10.4.11, Yes, I am still using Tiger and my G4 is said not to be acceptable to Leopard so its time for new computer..but until then)....
I have only a 60 GB HD, and it was getting "full" so suggestion I received and someone helped me do it, was to eliminate all old "downloads" I was saving.
Fine....except that while I was cleaning up the older programs I "don't use" to get more room on the Hard Drive (I had less than 10 GB free and Apples don't like that on their Journal Drives), I accidentally "erased" (then threw out as trash to get room) the Adobe Flash Player. Not a problem! But now of course I remember that is "why" keep normally all "downloads" as files in case I do that....so no older download to use as my own archive.
Ok, not a problem! Go to Adobe and download a new Flash Player (Of course I can't use 10.3 and all the others you keep referring to, as I don't have an "Intel" chip operating computer, so 10.4 is supported by newer Flash Players but only those using an Intel chip which my computer doesn't have. (Lap top else I'd try all types of modificactions to work around the problem).
Sorry too many details, but rather let you know now than questions back and forth.
The final irony is that I know of Adobe's Archives and went "back in time" downloading and testing out various Flash Players (sorry, didn't pay attention so I did not ever have marked down which version of older Adobe worked with my 10.4.11).
So I tried all the 10.2's 10.0's 9's (even the developer ones) I hit the 8's and realized that maybe I'm not doing something right as I do think if you are using 10.3 now, that 8 versions should have been usable according to the June 2010 system requirement lists.
For downloading I select Mac "other" as my operating system since the current specificaitons for downloading list 10.4 to 10.6 as "Intel" based.
Did I leave anything out?
I really need Adobe Flash Player as most of the web sites are just refusing to display anything but words for me, so just boring now on web without access to all the content that Flash Player provides. (no more funny You tube videos either of course!).
Can anyone help me with my Adobe problem?
Thanks!

To both of my helpers.....Success! (Skip to end if you don't want to read the details).
Sorry for the delay in responding to all of your suggestions!
eidnolb: Here is what I found on the page with red "f" this time. But using Safari, the whole top of the page says "Flash" meaning that the red "F" is part of a Flash item that is not loading in Safari, but does load in my other Browser, Sea Monkey.
Using Safari I right clicked (was on wrong page sorry) and got the "ClicktoFlash---Settings" settings
I do not have regular "settings" anymore on my list just: Load Flash/Load all on this page/add www.Adobe.com to whitelist/ClicktoFlash Settings.
And in the Click to Flash Settings there is no box to uncheck for hardware acceleration. Only things like Options/sIFR Text Updates Uninstall (of course) version 1.5.5 if that matters).
I set up my account in Adobe using Sea Monkey which I do when Safari is fully being used for other purposes that day, so that explains why I got confused sometimes, the Flash Content in Sea Monkey "works" but the same page loaded in Safari does not work. I do have Firefox, but that has too many saved pages that have not been gone over to "unsave" them when I'm done either printing the contnet or saving the content or bookmarking it, so that is quite unusuable right now so I don't know if any of the flash is working or not on Firefox (and I don't have Chrome loaded in yet....maybe I read it was Leopard only? I forget why it is not
another choice for me).
Willener pat's (finally used a mirror!) suggestion I try the FP uninstaller again, I made sure it was done using Safari (Sea Monkey does not like it)....and despite it appearing for the higher levels of Mac OSX I tried it....
Its getting complicated. I can read the instructions how to do it in Sea Monkey, but Sea Monkey does not like the file (does not know what to do with it and offers my entire "Mac" database of applications i.e. word, etc to use it (very bad). Safari can use the file but I have to click on it without the accompanying instrtuctions to help me as they are not visible or printable anymore from within Safari without Flash. So I'm using the printed instrucitons from Sea Monkey to follow and Safari to do the downloading!
I'll work this out yet!
eidnolb: I visited http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html after uninstall as you and pat say to do.
But the message reads:
"The following displays the type of Flash Player version that this browser is running, and its capabilities. Usually only developers creating content for Flash Player require this information: "
But Guess What? The box is a "FLASH" item!! So I can't see what version is in there! (Catch-22 they call that!).
My company's Flash pages are showing up on both Safari and Sea Monkey, they pause then load even though I've not set them for "permissions" or "whitelist" on the ClicktoFlash" because the content is created by various people and they have bad web page habits so especially I do not load Flash immediately at my company's web pages, as it can hang or cause scripts to keep working so I have to stop it. That is why the person I deal with got me "ClicktoFlash" as just because I know how to create a web page, doesn't mean all the other ones I deal with know how!
I'm thinking at this point, should I try installing back in the version again? I guess no harm can come from that so I went back to eidnolb's version in original message and tried to load it in again.
Result is: nothing!
I clicked on your address in Sea Monkey and copied to safari and both don't work. "Page Not Found" Error.
This is what I clicked on to get the Flash installer 10.1.102.64 before! I know it worked then, why not now? So I'll use the copy I've downloaded before but why is the link not working now?
eidnolb: June 15, 2011 10:53 am
Flash installer 10.1.102.64 [http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp 10.1.102.64_and_9.0.289.0archive.zip] Open the archive to reveal yet more archives and multiple files. Select: flashplayer101r102_64_ubmac.dmg
By the way....reading everything that came with the installer program (it appears for developers only as archived version), it says to "restart" system after uninstall. Maybe that is what I did not do, but I've closed and restarted my computer each time I leave so I know its been "done" in middle of writing your forum replies, I just save it elsewhere and come back to continue writing!
So closing and restarting everything had no effect. On the Adobe Find Flash Player Version page, I still can't "see" the box with version of Flash Player I'm currently running, as its a Flash box that does not activate. The other Adobe page with "red" F still does not show the me "red" F just a huge "Flash" box that I can't open.
So here goes with installing again from the saved version of download (by the by I'm now down to 9.46 GB free since I've opened and downloaded so many files so many times. Just don't know which to delete as nothing has worked yet!
Now it works! I think!
I got the "Find Flash Player Version" page and I can "see" the result
I'm using Player Version: MAC 10,1,53,64
Debug Player: No
Opening system Mac OS 10.4.11
Video Capable Yes
Audio Capable Yes
Local File I/O Enabled: Yes
So I guess that is it!
It works !
I could have just said this part alone, but wanted both of you to see what steps I took to get it working again! (Might be helpful to anyone else stupid enough to try to create more room by deleting any large files with unidentified names).
Which answer fits the bill for "correct" answer? I"ll click on and award points however you both see fit (10 to best answer 5 to possible answers).
I went to check on the one you (eidnolb) answered about Google Maps (I have a iPad now and always use it for my portable use of Google Maps so didn't notice anything like he mentioned, so I just went in to give a check and Safari and Google Maps are all working fine with street views (the orange man---does anyone have a name for him? Have a contest!). It all works so thanks again.
Best regards to everyone!
