System altered. Upto this i was clear, but now i cann't understand when you actually dropped the control file from you database(in running stat) how can you perform "alter system checkpoint" and other "alter tablespace.." command? Once controlfile is inaccessible, oracle database is not suppose to function.

Is it possible to create a control file without the datafiles

Hi All,
Is it possible to create a control file without the datafiles?
on any OS or DB version
regards,
sachin

if I understand properly:
- you have a script to recreate the controlfile
- you have all of your database files backed up except your controlfiles
This should work as this is how we sometimes refresh dev databases:
1) restore the copies of the database files
2) recreate the controlfile
3) recover the database files to the desired point in time (if hot backup or archivelogs are available, otherwise, it would be as of the time of the backup)
4) add temp files to temporary tablespace(s)
The simpler solution would be to backup your controlfile at the same time as your datafiles (RMAN or o/s copy).
I hope I understood your question properly.

Latest Lithroom 5.6 does not recognize my .cr2 raw file format and Windows 7 it asociates with my older raw plug in in Ps CS5.5. I am not able to change default program for .cr2 in the properties pannel...

every new released update of Lr from v 5.2 changed somethin in my Windows 7 Professional settings. I am stucked. Can somebody help me please? Many thanks. Andrej

Hi Jim,
yes after I imported my .cr2 raw files into new catalog it started to work. Windows 7 still does not recognize them but I can edit them as you said within the Lr5.6 and then export them into .psd or .dng files...as needed.
I bought Lr5 only because I got present - my new camera Cannon 70D and because my older Photoshop CS5.5 raw plugin does not recognize. cr2 files.
Many thanks for your help.
Andrej.

Is it possible that you or someone who knows your iCloud sign on went into the Find My iPhone app and erased your device via iCloud? Because that is what that message is saying.
Have you tried to sign on with your Apple ID and password?
Was it online prior to this incident happening?

I have lost my all of the control files.
I have restored the control file from the cold backup.
I'm able to go till mount stage & after that is throwing an error the datafiles are not in sync.
Any one can suggest how to go further to get it done.
Regards
Sunil

Nano doesn't work and itunes in restore/recovery mode loop

My ipod nano 1st gen was fine (XP pro) - and then I plugged it in and it says "Itunes has detected an Ipod in rocover mode. You must restore this ipod before it can be used in windows."
I press restore and it seems to be restoring - and says its restore...but then it starts from square one and says it has to be restored again.
When I unplug the nano it says "do not disconnect"...but then it says "use itunes to restore".
I updated my itunes, restarted, etc. and still get the same.
Someone said something about changing the drive letter or drive mode...but i cant do that! please help.

Have you tried?

Download Helper, even with paid converter upgrade, gives "Invalid Capture File" errors and will not record audio, with "File Creation Error - Unable to rename/copy audio file" Error.

Download Helper Screen Capture worked to capture video if the default "no audio" option is active. But, no audio. The "speakers" or "microphone" audio options are confusing....the audio to be captured is from the video, so what do you choose? With either "speakers" or "microphone" selected, the captured file has poor audio and no video. Re-capture efforts (speakers) get "Invalid capture file error" and "File Creation error- Unable to rename/copy audio file"
The paid upgrade of "Converter" doesn't work.
Instructive documentation - not very good.
Suggestions - Need time delay between initiation of "Record" and starting the video to be recorded.
Could use timer tracking of the record process.
Are there operating system limitations? (Have Windows XP Pro)

That is an issue for the developer of that Download Helper.

What is a .abbu file? And what do I do with it?

There is a file that has appeared on my desktop with the following name: "Address Book - 2010-02-22.abbu". If I double click the file, I get a dialog box that says "Are you sure you want to replace all of the contacts in your address book with the contacts in "Address Book - 2010-02-22.abbu"? If you click Replace All, the information in this Address Book archive completely replaces the information in your address book. You can't undo this action."
What is this file? Can I put it in the trash or must I keep it? And if I must keep it, where is its proper place?
Thanks!

Thanks, Wyodor! Now...where should I put this file?

Can I transfer all my files, pictures and music from the computer with water damage to the new one?

A couple weeks ago water spilled on my computer and I took it in with no luck so I'm buying a new one. I wanted to know if there was any way to get all my stuff from the damaged computer to the new one. It breaks my heart to think of all my pictures being lost or my schoolwork gone.

This handy gadget:

is much cheaper than most reliable HD enclousres and will allow you to attach the bare drive to recover the data to the new Mac via USB.

Lost songs, can't restore, recovery mode loop?

I plugged in my ipod nano for just a routine synch of some new songs. All appeared to synch as normal, but then I looked and it said "0 songs!!!" Next, an error message pops up and gives me no choice but to restore to factory settings, or cancel, so I chose to restore. Now, it says I am in "recovery mode," but nothing is happening. I seem to be caught in some loop that just keeps asking me to restore, whle ipod shows white screen with black "Do not Disconnect" flashing. But nothing appears to be happening. It has been this way for an hour.
Please help.....Don't know how things went so wrong just to synch a couple of new songs!!
Thanks,
Suzanne

I am afraid you have tried almost everything, the only suggestion is :-
C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
Tips
a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

My iphone is in recovery mode and i cannot restore it with itunes on my macbook or my pc. how can i restore my iphone 4s? or at least, how can i get it out of recovery mode?

i tried to restore my iphone 4s because it kept saying "searching..." for service so i decided to restore it, after having already reset all network settings, and after trying to restore all settings. still, it only said "searching..." for service. finally, i tried to restore my iphone. when using my macbook, 3/4 through i recieved a message to update my itunes software. i had to close itunes for the update. when i closed itunes, the iphone restore was in pprogress and having to close the program put my phone into this "recovery mode" with the icon of the usb and the itunes disc logo. i also tried updating and restoring the software with my pc which also didnt work. help?

Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything... and you must continue with the Recovery...

TS1702 Podcasts App lost and will not restore or re-install. iOs 6.1.6

Iphone 3gs updated with iOs 6.1.6 software. Podcasts App lost when restored from backup and will not re-install from iTunes. How do I fix it?

That's because the latest Podcast App is only for iOS 7. You have to go to AppStore and re-install a version compatible with 6.1.3

Controlling file sync and playing with iCloud & ATV

Can I control which albums sync through iCloud and onto my iPhone? My music collection is too large to store on my phone and I like swapping albums in and out. Before iCould, I used to check the tracks and set up the sync to only include those checked tracks when I plugged my iPhone directly into my mac - but how does it work now?
Also when I use ATV to play albums from iTunes on my mac, it only plays the first song and I have to manually select the rest of them. I found out that I can solve this by making sure that all the tracks for the album are checked, but if I do that I'm worried that the tracks will also sync to my iPhone, where I don't want them.

I just imported contacts from gmail to icloud. Check all of your contacts or the ones you want to move, click on the more tab, click export, save the file, log into icloud , click contacts, click settings, click import, find the saved file. Contacts should import.

TS3276 why is jpeg file lost and replaced with winmail.dat file in mail

I sent a jpeg file to my hotmail account, which is synchronised in my Mac Mail but the file was lost/converted to winmail.dat attachment, which I couldn't import to iPhoto. How do I import a jpeg image, emailed to me from an external source, to iPhoto?

I think you need to configure Outlook in Windows to use HTML messages.
Here is Microsoft's incomprehensible support document on the issue.
Here is one from about.com that makes sense.
