Database files list on one drive in master.sys.master_files, but show on another in the file system
We have a one node cluster sql server instance where the machine was patched/updated and re-booted this past weekend. The machine came up, but the SQL Server did not because it could not locate RestoreCheckpointDB24.ckp on an
M drive. If I RESTOREFILELISTONLY on my backups everything was clearly on an N drive previously. To get by the error, our network team changed a registry key pointing to
N drive to M drive and everything magically came up. The file system and failover cluster manager are now showing all files to be on an
M drive, but if you query master.sys.master_files everything is showing on the
N drive. Anyone know how this is possible and how to resolve???
As well, a log shipping session is now broken because it's copying to a missing
N drive and my Management->SQL Server Logs folder is empty as well.
Any ideas? I'm completely baffled as well as our network guys.
Thanks!
I'm thinking your problem is:
"To get by the error, our network team changed a registry key pointing to N drive
to M drive
and everything magically came up."
That's called a hack and hacks usually have unexpected and adverse consequences.
And in more than 15 years of working with SQL Server I've never had to use a registry change to make SQL Server work. As a personal best practice I avoid making manual changes to the registry at all costs.

I moved my iTunes files from my old computer to an external hard drive. I then moved those files to the new computer. My computer and iPad are not linking up (recognizing each other?). I installed the latest version of iTunes onto the new computer to see if that would help. It did not--I got the message that an iPad can only be linked up with one computer and the new download would not work with this iPod. So the iTunes' library and my iPod are not connecting, and I have no way of installing or removing new songs onto my iPad. What should I do to correct this?
Sorry, I had a typo. The last sentence should have read "iPod" (iPad): So the iTunes' library and my iPod are not connecting, and I have no way of installing or removing new songs onto my iPod. What should I do to correct this?

I'm trying to download my Master CS6 onto a new hard drive because my old one crashed and I keep getting a message saying " Cannot write the file" or "I don't have permission to access the requested resource." ? What does this mean?
Yes- it is a Mac. I went through adobes system requirements and re- downloaded supportive software. The notice seems to happen near the end of the down load with the messages above. I'll look into your suggestion. Thank you- appreciated.

I have an older IMAC mid 2007 intel core. I want to transfer my backup files from an older Maxtor One Touch drive to a new one. My old drive is not support by Yosemite. Can I transfer the files to a new supported drive? I haven't bought a new one yet. Any suggestions as to which new one to purchase?
See if you can get the drive to mount. See mount section of 1st link.

I can't see my files on my USB shared drive. It shows there is lots of space taken up, but I can't access the files via my Mac. How do I see them? I also can't see them on my iPad using FileBrowser.
You don't have access to it to configure it via Time Machine? You lost me on that one, Time Machine is used for Backup.
Here is a basic article on the first setup and what you should see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1178
To configure Time Capsule you should be using "Airport Utility" 5.3 or higher that is located in the Utilities folder. You can tell if its version 5.3 because the icon will have blue lines instead of orange lines like the older versions. Since you are running Leopard 10.5.6 and you ran Software Update you are probably already running the latest 5.3 version.
The light flashing amber means you haven't entered enough information so that it can get to the internet. Once you have that info entered the light will turn green.
If your absolutely sure your CAT5 cables are good you can try a hard reset. I think you have to push the reset button on the back and hold it for 5 seconds or so until the amber light blinks rapidly, then when you release the button it does the reset then.

Hope this helps! If not I would probably call AppleCare support or see if you can exchange it.

How can I change (or select) what is being being used when I share, as the file cover. When I Share lets say "Master File" i want to select a frame that is used as the file cover. So when its on my desktop I see this image as the file icon.
I don't think Finder does this (I've tried).
iTunes does though. Where you can set artwork or the "poster frame"...
This may not be what you want but if it helps, I know 2 ways do this is
Open the video in QuicktimePlayer7 | View | Set Poster Frame (even then, you might need to save it as .mov (ie in a 'mov container').
Drag the file into iTunes and set the artwork (as in http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/adding-album-cover-art-or-images-in-itunes .html)
From there, iTunes will use that frame as the "poster frame" ie the photo/frame that shows when you browse your videos. Which is what you want, but limited to iTunes.
When I do either of these above, the frame I set does not show when exploring files in "Finder" (or in the other Explorer tool I use called "Pathfinder").
So it maybe, that exactly what you want, is not possible. -
After trying to change permissions on my computer so others on my network can grab files, my external Hard Drive has a lock on it and I can't access files. I've tried repairing permissions, logging in under another Administrator account, using Terminal to fix the problem, downloaded BatChmod but nothing works… Any other suggestions? I have an Imac running OS10.6.8.
There is suddenly a lock icon on my external backup drive!

2006 iMac running 10.4 OS. I copied files to ext. drive. Put in 10.6 disc and did a clean install (format) of 10.6. Copied data from ext. drive back to Mac. I didn't get all the files. CAN I REVERT BACK TO THE 10.4 OS SO I CAN COPY MY DATA PROPERLY?
How did you copy files to the external drive, and what files did you copy? Did you drag and drop in the Finder? Use a clone utility? What files did not successfully copy?
If you reformatted the drive as part of your install, then you won't be able to recover any files from the drive. Reverting back to (reinstalling) 10.4 will not help you.
Do you have a complete-drive backup of your old system?

hi, I have a macbook pro with a new hard drive installed and restored. My WD external drive backup on time machine now wont let me access the files. I get a prompt saying 'you do not have permission to access the files' After my new drive was installed I plugged in time machine and it started backing up. I paused it when I realised that it was running for more than a few minutes. I now realise that it probably started backing up the new hard drive all over again. Which makes me think that the original back up must be on the WD back I cant seem to access it. Any ideas would be helpful.
