Cloned bootdisk and non-standard home directory location fails login

I'm running 10.6.3 and have my home directory on a separate partition (but the same physical disk) from my boot partition. I've just used carbon copy cloner to clone the boot partition to a third partition on a separate physical disk for backup. when i boot from the clone, the user account auto logs in but has lost my settings (goes through the welcome video etc.). if i then go into the advanced options in Accounts prefpane and choose the (old) home directory again (whose path is already displayed in the prefs) and reboot, the login fails.
My question is: Is it possible to have the home directory on a separate partition and still have a working clone of the boot partition?
Thanks in advance for any guidance you can give...

ok - answered this one myself. i used Super Duper instead, and made a sandbox backup of my bootdisk, which uses alias links to files and apps. this meant i could have a test bed bootable partition which wouldn't cause trouble for my main install. not perfect but workable...

What are the Oracle Home and GRID home directory locations for Oracle 12c (12.1.0.5) release

Hello All,
I plan to install and configure Oracle 12c Cloud Control console on a single standalone server and the version is Oracle 12.1.0.5. All the databases which are installed across in the entire farm/landscape are these versions:
Oracle 10.2.0.3 Enterprise Edition
Oracle 10.2.0.4 Enterprise Edition
Oracle 10.2.0.4 Active DataGuard Enterprise Edition
Oracle 10.2.0.5 Enterprise Edition
Oracle 11.2.0.1 Enterprise Edition
Oracle 11.2.0.1 Active DataGuard Enterprise Edition
Oracle 11.2.0.3 RAC Enterprise Edition
All Oracle databases across these versions will use the same version of Oracle Grid since ASM is used for all the Oracle database across Production/Test/Development databases. The OS is RHEL 5.8, RHEL 6.3, OEL 6.3 versions.
When installing the Oracle 12c Cloud Control what is the Oracle and Grid Home directory location need to set to. Please let me know if there are any other additional configurations needed?
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Regards,
Abhijit

First off, the only EM CC release out right now is 12.1.0.2, not sure where you got 12.1.0.5 (DB Plugin maybe?).
Second, you're confusing EM CC homes with DB/Grid homes.
EM CC will need it's own Oracle Home (i.e. /opt/oracle/product/em_12.1.0.2). You will need to provide repository database connection information, but EM does not care what home the db or grid is installed in.
I would recommend reviewing the documentation as well as the references on OTN -

How to stop the removing a user account and saving the home directory to a disk image?

I tried to delete one of two administers on my iMac (10.10.1). After more than 12 hours it will not let me quit System Preferences for it "is removing a user account and saving the home directory to a disk image". How do I finish deleting the administer and quit System Preferences?

I would recommend asking them in C# forums: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/home?forum=csharpgeneral&filter=alltypes&sort=lastpostdesc

Standard and Non-standard exports and queries issue

Hi,
We have created a few STANDARD books with standard exports in them. The standard exports use standard queries.
The ISSUE is that in the Verifications/Filters tab, where we have put in a lot of queries - ONLY the STANDARD queries show up. We would like to have all the queries show up. I am the adminsitrator and still only the standard ones show up.
I am worried that if I "Save As" the export as a non-standard export, it does not allow me to uncheck the standard tick column and save it but I have to manually change the name of the export. Can we change this in anyway?
Is there a system preference where I can allow all the queries to show up in the verifications/filter tab at least for the admnistrators if not for all? Thanks
- Ad

Thanks for your input but DRM does seem to be behaving what you said or may be I am still missing something here.
I created a standard query.
I have a standard export.
Now, in the verification/filter tab of my Standard export, I am able to see my standard queries.
But,
I am unable to see the Non-Standard Queries.
HOWEVER,
If I have a Non-Standard export --> I am able to ALL the queries. This makes it a lot more flexible in doing things.
My question is the WHY are my standard exports not able to reach the non-standard queries. What I wanted to do a twist in my export for analysis purposes for a particular use. If non-standard exports have access to Standard and Non-Standard queries --> it just makes more sense to always use a non-standard export and create non-standard queries.

Hello..i have IPhone 4S i did reset to factory settings by fault and till now after a 2 hours there is nothing just a waiting icon in the middle of the screen and none of home or turn off button are response so i do need your help plz

Try to reset it by holding the power an home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release. If it won't reset, you'll probably have to force it into recovery mode and restore it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

Change uid and home directory locations? - no more netinfo manager?

greetings,
just setting up my new MBpro with 10.5... i've discovered netinfo manager is no longer here... searched the discussion forum and have learned a little. i looked into the "directory utility", but don't see how to use it for configuring local user info... (seems to be primarily focused on network services, such as ldap)...
i keep 2 accounts on my computer - personal account for home use and work account for when i need to use my laptop for work. for my work account i need to set my UID to match that of our servers (suns)... i nfs mount suns, and access servers, etc. without the same UID, i don't have access to my network files when locally mounted... also i keep my home directories on a second partition and need to change the location of the home directory... all of these were relatively straight forward in netinfo manager.... but i have no idea where to access the configuration info that was in netinfo manager...
is there some kind of additional software i have to install?
i'd appreciate any suggestions-
thanks-

great! thanks!!
ps - besides the fact that i can get my own unique environments and keep my work life separate from my personal live on my home computer by making separate accounts, the 2nd account always gives me a way to test things and change things for an account without being logged into it... even if i didn't want to make a user account for my job on my personal computer, i'd still keep an alternate account for testing things and as a backdoor to fix problem in my primary account... i've always loved unix since i first started using it in 85... an i'm SO glad that apple made the switch to unix, albeit a little later than was good for them. i think it is undeniably better for the users, the administrators, and even apple... the mac is quite a joy to use these days, IMHO...

AV output and non-standard frame sizes

I usually work in non-standard frame size for my FCP projects because my final output will be in a 2:35:1 ratio. I use a Blackmagic Ultrastudio Mini Monitor as an HDMI output to a client monitor. Up until a few months ago the AV output of FCPX would allow the Mini Monitor to accept a frame size of 1920x818 and letterbox the output to 16x9 on this consumer grade LCD. One day, this just stopped working... I've reached out to Blackmagic and they have no solution or reason why this happened, and are not willing to offer support since what I was achieving wasn't an "officially supported" feature. Now, the AV output will distort the image vertically to fill a 16x9 frame. At this point I am stuck having to use either a matte layer or a widescreen effect on individual clips to output correctly to my monitor which increases edit time having to re-render any edits underneath the matte and having to re-order the letterbox effect after apply color correction etc. It was also very easy to adjust the frame offset with this wide angle project size.
Is anyone editing in 2:35:1 (or other cinema standard) projects and getting successful conversion on output? What are you using?
Cheers,
Matt

Thanks Tom, you clarified it ....... or at least something clicked in my brain.
I was trying to set "Custom" when I created the new project.
I didn't know, or had forgotten, that in the "error" window I could select "Custom".
All is now well and FCP X 10.1.1 is pretty clever after all!
There is one weird thing I'd like to mention.
When I clicked on "Custom" the 960 x 600 frame dimensions appeared but the frame rate was listed as 23.98p as shown in the screenshot below.
So what's wrong with that?
Well the clip is 30p and I naturally thought I was going to end up with a project with an incorrect frame rate.
Now here's the funny thing ......... when I selected the project and viewed it in the Inspector it was the correct 30p
So why was I given that worrying piece of misinformation.

IPad and non-standard DNS

On our internal network, we use non-standard top level domains (.int) rather than the usual .com, .net, .info, etc.
I'm using an App called SharePlus Lite Office Mobile to try to access our corporate SharePoint sites. I've added our .int domain into the iPad's DNS Search domains, but whenever I try to access the SharePoint server, I get a 400 - HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request Error. If I try to access a SharePoint site that is using a standard gtld (.com), I have no problem accessing it.

Can't change home directory location on 10.6.8 server

After setting up 10.6.8 server. We want the location of the home dir to be in a sub folder in the User folder on the servers HD. The problem is any shared folder we set up the client computers get the message that the home dir can not be found. The only way we have been able to make this work is by letting the home dir to reside in the Users folder. Why can I not make it any shared folder anywhere?

In your client Network preference pane you should set as DNS record the IP address of your server. Then restart the client machine. I don't know if this is a standard solution, but for me it fixes the problem.

Ethernet disk and a networked home directory

is it possible under os x 10.4.8 to store my home directories on an ethernet disk and then be able to mount them from any of my macs? do i need to run os x server?

Try changing the user account's home property in the NetInfo Manager, which is located in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder so that it points to a folder on the Ethernet drive; don't alter or delete anything else in the NetInfo Manager. You may run into issues if you are using the same home folder for two or more accounts which have a different UID property.

Really unusual and non-standard situation with Apple ID...

Hi everyone!
My name is Roman and I'm form Kyiv (Ukraine).
I will really appreciate any ideas concerning possible solve of mentioned below situation:
My wife is using iPhone 5 and the day before yesterday she made an software update to ios 8.0.2.
Everything went fine... and after activation system asked for the appleid and password. The problem is my wife forgot the password and asked me to solve this issue. Later on i went to "iforgot" and asked to sent the 'reset" on her e-mail, but this e-mail is [email protected] (system sends the recovery link on the mailbox where i need to access). Paradox. Moving on I've tried to find out what was the alternative e-mail and checked all our possible mailboxes and did not find any mention of the appleid. Finally, I've decided to reset the password with the security questions. And another shot is on the first step (indicate birthday) none of our family birthdays are suitable At the very end we've called to the apple support center and tried to manage this mass with the operator. Unfortunately we did not indicate the credit card details while icloud account creation. Last chance is the security questions since as we found out there some unusual stuff with the alternative e-mail (as we been told). We had to answer two of security questions. (It is not a problem). But, when we call to nearest apple client service (in Moscow) (we wait for 20 - 25 minutes) and than operator kindly asks to provide answers and spell those. (And if you do at least one mistake or misunderstanding in spelling of any word you have to call back in eight hours and try again). As far as we saw, from Ukraine spelling might differ somehow via land-line talk.
I understand that the security is a high priority always and respect this.
Please let me know if there and chance to provide all the information somewhere (f.e. serial number, id scan, family photos, all known details, etc.) to solve this issue?
P.S. If there is no solution, than I'll probably have to buy the new iPhone to my wife

Did you contact Apple via iTunes Store Support: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
Other posters here have reported prompt responses with similar issues. And, no, your apps are attached to the account under which you purchased them, so creating a new account will not work.

Mixing and exporting for more than 8 channels and non-standard multichannel setups

I am trying to do something kind of unconventional, although I have seen people on the forums trying to do similar things. Unfortunately, it's unclear if they succeeded or not, and if they did, how.
I'm trying to figure out how to mix sound for an environment that has many (somewhere between 8 and 16) independent speakers, all connected to an audio interface. I know that WAV, AAC, and other audio file formats can carry that many channels and I can map them to the individual speakers. My question is how to edit/mix. Specifically,
Is this possible in Audition? It seems like it might be in CC, but not previous? (I have CS6.)
How do you set up the project file. When I create a new multitrack project, I can choose mono, stereo, or 5.1. The 5.1 option allows me to assign sounds to the five speakers in a standard 5.1 setup and the LFE. Is it possible mix for an environment with more than that? Or with a different configuration of speakers? In Audio MIDI Setup (for Windows people, that's where in OSX you set the more advanced audio preferences) I can configure up to 7.1 as well as geometric arrangements like quadrophonic, hexagonal, and octagonal. Is it possible in Audition to mix for anything like these?
There have been some threads where people talk about using 16 discrete outputs in Audition. How is this possible? Is each track able to be routed to a different output? If so, is it possible to write a file that has all of these tracks assigned to their discrete output channels?
Is it possible to nest audio sessions like you can nest Premiere sequences? For example, can I create a multitrack project with mono output and have that session be embedded into another multitrack session or do I have to finish editing the first one and write a file from it to use it in another project? Can buses be used to do this? What I'm wondering is if what I describe in #3 above IS possible, then how to have more than just a single pre-made audio file going to each of the outputs, to allow me to mix each channel with various sounds.
Sorry that's a few questions, but they all revolve around how to work with multi-channel sound that isn't stereo or 5.1.
Thanks!

As you have probably gathered, this is effectively a work in progress...

At present, this is restricted to what you can see, but there's sort-of a workaround - albeit not an ideal one...
There have been some threads where people talk about using 16 discrete outputs in Audition. How is this possible? Is each track able to be routed to a different output? If so, is it possible to write a file that has all of these tracks assigned to their discrete output channels?
If you have a multichannel sound device, and all the outputs are visible to Audition, then yes, each track can be assigned directly to a different output. And if you set one up, you can do this with buses as well...
Is it possible to nest audio sessions like you can nest Premiere sequences? For example, can I create a multitrack project with mono output and have that session be embedded into another multitrack session or do I have to finish editing the first one and write a file from it to use it in another project?

What I'm wondering is if what I describe in #3 above IS possible, then how to have more than just a single pre-made audio file going to each of the outputs, to allow me to mix each channel with various sounds.
It's not possible to nest sessions at present in any version, and this has been asked about before. There are some significant issues with this, mainly to do with things like sample rates, output formats, etc. Doesn't mean that it won't happen, but don't hold your breath... As I said, there's a workaround, and yes, it's buses. Since you can effectively submix to a bus, and the bus output can go directly to hardware, then you can do what you want. The compromise is that in order to save the overall result, you'll end up with all of your source files, and a session file. And you'll have to play the whole thing back in Audition, rather than export it to a single file and be able to play it on a multichannel player. But yes, it should work.

Java 6 and non standard keyboards

I'm using a Java 6 app on my MacBook Pro. I have a microsoft external keyboard and I am using the "British - Microsoft" keyboard layout.
With this setup no Java 6 app will accept any keyboard entry. Typing has no effect.
If I change to "British" keyboard layout then keyboard entry works, but obvisouly the keyboard layout doesn't match my physical keyboard layout.
Any ideas how I can set things up so I can enter text into Java 6 apps using a keyboard layout that matches my keyboard?
Thanks
John

PS It might be worth trying other keyboard layouts designed to match non-Apple British keyboards:

ZCM Inventory and Non-Standard Ports

Greetings all:
I have a client who has ZCM installed on a Windows server. During the install they decided to not use port 80 and 443 (due to another app on the box) and instead use 90 and 1443. After we applied ZCM 10.1, 10.1.1 and 10.1.2 the server showed issues with imaging. Research showed the issue to be trying to use port 1443 instead of 443. When we tried to change any config file to reflect 1443 the file would be changed back to 443. They decided to use 443 for SSL communications but still needed to use port 90 for other communications.
Recently they realized that devices were not inventorying. They do not have the full agent installed on their workstations, only the inventory-only agent. It appears that any new workstations with a new install of the agent inventory, but updates do not occur. We enabled logging on a test machine. Please see the relevant part of the log below.
Changing the umia xml file to reflect port 80 on the workstation seems to correct the issue and we can upload new data.
What happened during our upgrade to change the ports we use to communicate with this server and what files can we edit to get back to the original ports we defined?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Exclude and non standard folder names - doesn't add

Hi
I've discovered a bug with folders using [ ] brackets in their name - they won't add correctly in time machine exclude dialogue.
I've tested other variances (blah), test works fine but [test] doesn't.
Just so people know that this issue exists. I've filed a bug report to Apple.

Now it has gotten worse. We were importing some of the missing folders seperately, until after one import, the entire music folder on my network drive went totally missing! Yup, it's gone and my most current backup is over 3 months old (my fault). Now I *really* hate iTunes.
