In my case , some main info as follows . after add a article into one publication , then manually execute sp_startpublication_snapshot to generate snapshot ,and with no errors , but distribution agent didnot apply it .
How to fix ?
Type:Transaction Replication

Hi T.Encore,
Besides other post, please check the Replication Monitor to see if there are any errors. And also check all logs in SQL Server agents jobs related to the publication/subscription for additional messages.
In addition, please ensure that you perform all the steps in the following article to add articles to the existing publication.

  • Photoshop randomly not applying Lightroom-generated .xml files

    Hi there.  I have a problem with Photoshop or Lightroom.  This has happened to me before, but it's just somehow resolved itself previously.  This time it won't.
    I'm using LR 2.7 and PS CS4 and CS5.  I've edited a bunch of Nikon RAW files (NEF) in LR and then saved the metadata to the files, but when I open the images in Photoshop the edits are not applied.  It's like I haven't made any changes at all to the RAW files.  For some reason this only happens to a few images, seemingly at random.  I can't tell which ones without opening them all individually in Photoshop, though.
    I have a script that I run in Photoshop that creates PSDs from my edited RAW files and applies some quick Photoshop adjustments as well, so exporting the files from LR isn't a solution for me.
    I'm using a Mac Pro with Leopard 10.5.8.
    Any ideas?  Thanks.

    In the normal situation, LR needs to see a PS installed for it to detect the Edit In PS option is possible, so if you uninstall both, then install PS, first, then LR.  Of course with this release there may be some hiccup that requires installing either one or the other, again, but if you've uninstalled both and are reinstalling both, then install PS, first.

  • I have two faults! 1, an error comes up in Ps CC 2014 "could not apply the saved panel configuration, restring to default and my tools have disappeared completely and anything ive tried I cannot get them back not even the drop down menu in 'window' helps

    I have two faults! 1, an error comes up in Ps CC 2014 "could not apply the saved panel configuration, restring to default and my tools have disappeared completely and anything ive tried I cannot get them back not even the drop down menu in 'window' helps at all. And 2, Lr everytime I load it up it gives me the option to retry or switch to and it takes a while for me to even get anywhere with it I think it has something to do with the catalogs? I've been using these programs for a few years now on a Mac...no problem but when I use a PC when I'm away coz it's the (only) comp available these happen PC's are so useless! Please can anyone help??...

    I can give a few suggestions on Photoshop CC 2014, but Lightroom is a separate forum and you should ask Lr questions there.
    First close Photoshop.
    Then start Photoshop by double-clicking on it's icon and very quickly after that, hold down the ctrl-alt-shift keys until you see the reset dialog. answer "Yes" to delete settings, and let Photoshop continue to load.
    It's tricky to do and may take a few tries, but at least it should reset Photoshop CC 2014 to defaults.

  • Error "Test Agent could not connect to the test controller" while configuring the Test Agent on Client machine

    Hi,
    I am getting an Error “Test Agent could not connect to the test controller”
     while configuring The Test Agent on Client machine.
    Pre-requisite used:  
    VS2012 update 4, Test agent & Test controller of same version used
    User has TFS admin access.
    Same user id used for configuring Test Agent.
    Description:
    Test controller is installed on server A. I want to install test agent on client machine B.
    Windows Fire wall is OFF on both Machines A & B. While configuring Test Agent below error is occurred:
    “Test Agent could not connect to the test controller”
    In log file error was “I, 2015/04/02, 15:32:21.723, Could not get the status from the test agent. Exception: Failed to connect to an IPC Port: The system cannot find the file specified.”
    In Event viewer below error details given:
    Unable to connect to the controller on ‘My Server: 6901’. The agent can connect to the controller but the controller cannot connect to the agent because of following reason: The requested name is valid, but no data of the requested type was found.

    Could you please help me to find solution?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Kanchan,
    So on each computer, you create a local user account that is a member of the Administrators group, and use the same account and password on each machine(controller and Agent), am I right?
    Could you enable the detailed log message?

Nothing fixes the problems I am having: CC updater always stopped at 50% and the failed. I will get "Could not apply the Blur Gallery workspace because the file is locked..." any blur from Blur Gallery. I did noticed one thing, I can use any blur from this menu once and then I will get the error message. I will get to use one tool once from the Blur Gallery. Also I couldn't save my keyboard "Short Cut".  Anyone
    I tried everything I can find online and nothing helps. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks!!

  • Lighting effects not working, 'Could not apply the workspace because there is not enough memory (RAM)' with 4GB RAM?

    Tried to use 'render/lighting effects' on 5 more or less new different laptops now. All kind of Window versions.
    They all have at least 4GB RAM. The Graphic Card is compatible.
    Layer to work on is RGB-Type.
    It's all about Photoshop CC 2014, trial version.
    When I go to 'Lighting effects' it says first:
    'The 3D features require that 'Use Graphics Processor' is enabled in the Performance preferences. Your video card must meet the minimum requirements and you may need to check that your driver is working correctly.'
    - I switched the 'Use Graphics Processor' on and off and restarted new - nothing happens.
    - Video card is compatible.
    Second it says:
    ''Could not apply the workspace because there is not enough memory (RAM)'
    - RAM on all the computers I tested it with is at least 4GB

  • Could not apply template to document?

    Hi Experts,
    When i am trying to apply template to my report ,I am getting error like this...
    "Could not apply template to document".
    Please solve this issue.
    Thanks in advance,
    A. Kavya kumari.

    Hi Kavya,
    Try to apply the predefined template in these methods
    In the menu bar goto Report-> Template Expert. A new dialog appears, choose any of the predefined template. If this doesn't work then apply manually by clicking on the Browse button in the same window.
    By default, the sample templates shipped with Crystal Reports are installed at
    \Program Files\Business Objects\Crystal Reports 12.0\Templates.
    If this also doesnt work, then your template files might be corrupted. Try reinstalling the software n check.

  • Premier 9.0  Update failed.  Could not apply the updates

    I just did a reinstallation of Premier and made an update via Adobe update. I get this error.  Update failed. Could not apply the updates. The error log can contain informtion to help you identify the problem. Then try to update again. Contact Customer Support if the problem persists.
    The error log
    Update Software for Premiere Elements 9.0.1
    An error occurred while downloading this update. Cancel and try again later. Error: U43M1D207
    I have tried several times but i can't solve it.
    Does anyone know any tricks to love this
    KR/
    Joakim

    Kimmey66
    This question has been asked several times recently.
    Do not bother with the issues of Premiere Elements 9.0 Help Menu/Update. Waste of energy. These updates involve only 9.0.1 and Camera Raw up to no more than 6.5. There is no more to be gotten after that.
    The remedy is quick and easy.
    Download and install the 9.0.1 Update from Adobe.  You can do the download and install with Premiere Elements 9 closed.
    If Windows
    Adobe - Premiere Elements : For Windows : Premiere Elements 9.0.1 update
    If Mac
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4930
    If you need Camera Raw 6.5 Windows (See instructions for manual install)
    Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Camera Raw 6.5 update
    If you need Camera Raw 6.5 Mac (See instructions for manual install)
    Adobe - Photoshop Elements : For Macintosh : Camera Raw 6.5 update for Elements 9
    Please let us know if that worked for you. Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.

    Based on the previous post I believe it has something to do with the validity checks performed by the CDC. The post describes 3 checks and I believe my solution is failing one of these, however I am not sure which.
    As far as I understand it my logs above demonstrate that the agentRootURL is correctly set, but I'm not sure what other values are needed.
    Any advice would be greatly received.

    Quick follow up :)
    This problem was caused by the Access Manager instance not being able to resolve the IP address for 'bonecrusher.test.local'
    After I added the entry for this into the hosts file everything worked.

  • WDS Global XML File | Could Not Apply PE Boostrap Error?

    I setup a 2012 Server for the purpose of using WDS to deploy images via PXE.  I am having a problem with a specific Global Unattend XML file (attached to the WDS server, not a specific image).  I have been able to image via PXE with other global
    XML files so the server is working but this specific file is not working.
    While booting via PXE I get an error:  
    "Windows could not apply the Windows PE Bootstrap setting specific in the unattend answer file"
    I validated the XML file in WISM and there are no errors.  I checked the event log on the server and it has basically the same error recorded Event ID 4114 each time I tried it.  I not sure where to go from here.  Any suggestions?

    Using Windows Deployment Services and PXE boot, I am getting an error when installing Windows 8.1 and Windows 2012R2:
    "Windows could not apply unattend settings during pass [offlineServicing]"  
    Deploying Windows 7 does not have the same issue.
    The images were created from MSDN ISO's downloaded directly from MDSN - no modifications.
    Suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Just to be on safe side I would copy the Install.wim and boot.wim file. Then try to run the setup again with new files.
    Thanks

  • When I close Photoshop CS6, the following message appears: "Could not save Preferences because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file.

    When I quit Photoshop CS6, the following message appears:
    " Could not save Preferences because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the ‘Get Info’ command in the Finder to ensure the file is unlocked and you have permission to access the file. If the problem persists, save the document to a different file or duplicate it in the Finder."
    If I try to change the Workspace in PS6 from Essentials to any other Workspace, the following messsage appears:
    "Could not apply the workspace because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the ‘Get Info’ command in the Finder to ensure the file is unlocked and you have permission to access the file. If the problem persists, save the document to a different file or duplicate it in the Finder."
    I have checked the Sharing and Permissions section of the "Get Info" panel accessed from the Finder and I have set Read and Write Privileges for my user account for Photoshop CS6. System and Admin are also set to Read and Write.
    I have a MacBook Pro with OS X Version 10.9.5 and have all available updates for Photoshop CS6, Lightroom 5 and Bridge CS6.
    I tried uninstalling the program and downloading it again and reinstalling, but nothing changed.
    Can you help?
    Thanks,

  • Cannot open Pages documents that I've worked on.  I open a new document, work on it, then save and close it.  When I try to open the document again, I get the following message: The document "[name]" could not be opened. The file isn't in the correct form

    I cannot open Pages documents that I have worked on and saved.  When I try to reopen Pages documents that I've saved, I get the following
    message:
    "The document “[name of document]” could not be opened. The file isn’t in the correct format.
    The file might be corrupted, truncated, or in an unexpected format."
    I have downloaded the latest update to iWork, but that doesn't help.
    I use Mac OSX 10.6.7
    I am using Pages '09 version 4.0.5 (852)
    If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it.
    Best regards,

    A few general trouble shooting tips that may apply here:
    1. If you used Software Update to do the OS update(s) to reach 10.6.7, go to http://support.apple.com/downloads/ and download and apply the Mac OS v10.6.7 Combo Updater. The Combo Updater contains some fixes that were not included in the incremental updaters used by Software Update.
    1a. Check that you have the current version of Pages (and of the other iWork applications) installed. All three applications' current version numbers end in .0.5
    2. A common cause of malfunctioning applications is a corrupted preferences file (.plist file). Your Pages '09's plist is at yourname > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iWork.pages.plist
    Quit Pages, locate the file and Drag it to the Desktop (or to the Trash).
    Restart Pages and attempt to open one of the files.
    If all is well, Trash the plist file and empty the Trash.
    If there's no change, AND you've made changes to the Preferences that you wish to keep, drag the file back to its previous location, replacing any new one that has been created.
