Error restoring SQL 2008 R2 DB into SQL 2012: BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current database backup.

I have a SQL 2008 R2 database that I am trying to move to 2012. Made a full backup of the database in 2008 R2. Recovery model is Simple, compatibility level is 2008 Went to 2012, created a dummy database, did Tasks--> Restore -->
Database , located the backup file, selected it, changed the file locations and tried to restore the backup (with overwrite option), got the following error:
BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current database backup.
This is a simple task that has always worked in 2008 R2. Does anyone know what the problem is and a possible solution?
Thanks

Hi,
This error occurs when the database recovery model has been changed to Simple and/or the recovery model has been changed back to Full but a full backup has not been performed since the change.
If a full backup has been performed, the following conditions will require that another full backup be taken:
· The recovery model had been changed without taking a full backup
· A SQL maintenance plan task had changed the recovery model (reindexing can cause this)
· A backup specifying TRUNCATE_ONLY had been run on the database
· The database was detached from another server and attached to the current server
Additionally, if we take full database backup after the Database is set to readonly, Then transaction log backup we will end up with this error. This is expected behavior. I have list an example within the link below.
Please check above conditions and fix your issue, if you have any concern, please let me know.
Example:
BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current database backup.

Run sql 2008 ssis package into sql server 2012 machine

Hello,
I have created a ssis package in sql server 2008 and use a job to execute it pointing to databaseA. works fine.
Then, I place that package into a sql server 2012 machine and use a job to execute it in the same database, databaseA.
The error I get is something like:
can not use the old version in the new version machine.
Is this really the case or am I doing something wrong please?

Hi Arkiboys,
Arthur is right that the error occurs because the SSIS 2008 package cannot be upgraded to SSIS 2012 package. When the SSIS 2008 package is called by SSIS 2012 dtexec utility tool, the package will be upgraded temporarily and the changes won’t be saved. Since
your current SSIS 2008 package cannot be upgraded automatically, you can create the package from scratch in SSDT installed by SQL Server 2010. Another option isto open the SSIS 2008 package in SSDT or add the package to a SSIS 2012 project, then the upgrade
will be performed automatically. Then, you can check the error message during the upgrade, which may help you to find the tasks/components that cause the upgrade failure. In this way, you can remove the tasks/components in question from the SSIS 2008 package
and then upgrade the package, and then add the tasks/components in question in SSDT 2010.

Error message in .docx : 'Open XML file cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents. Details Unspecific error Location: 2'

I have put a lot of work into a docx document on my Mac, but now can't open it as it gives the error message: 'the Open XML file cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents. Details, Unspecific
error, Location: 2'
When opening the original file the message said: 'this file contains word 2007 for Windows equations' etc. but I managed to track changes fine, and saved, closed and re-opened it numerous times without problem. Some graphs seemed moved, and various formulas
were illegible, but no other weirdness was observed.
I have microsoft 2008 installed on my Mac OS X version 10.6.8.
I've tried to fix it using various solutions suggested here, but am afraid am too IT illiterate to have had any luck, please help I'm new to all this!

Out of Office error: 'Your automatic reply settings cannot be displayed because the server is currently unavailable. Try again later.'

Hi,
This is my first post in the forums. Please forgive me if it's in the wrong category or if it's not posted correctly in any way.
I'll try and give you below as much information about the problem we have here as I can.
What we have:
- an on-premises Windows 2012 Standard server that is the PDC, DNS and DHCP server;
- a second Windows 2012 Standard server with the sole purpose of hosting our Exchange 2013 CU7 server;
- Windows 7 PCs with Office Home and Business 2010 v.14.0.7143.5000 (32-bit);
- Outlook 2010 connects through Outlook Anywhere (mail.ourdomain.com).
The problem:
If trying to set up Out of Office through Outlook on the client PCs, we'd get an error message: 'Your automatic reply settings cannot be displayed because the server is currently unavailable. Try again later.' Interestingly, it does work normally for some users.
It works fine for all users if done through OWA.
Tests performed:
User 1 on PC1 has the problem. User 2 on PC2 doesn't have the problem. Both users are members of the same security groups.
- setting up User 2 on PC 1: the problem exists;
- setting up User 1 on PC 2: the problem exists;
- setting up a second Outlook profile on PC2 within User 2's domain account (the one that works), for the same User 2: the problem still exists!
I haven't been able to set up an Outlook account that works since this issue was discovered, although there are existing Outlook accounts that do not have the issue.
Let me also point out we have another issue we are working on and which may or may not be related: the Autodiscover function in Outlook doesn't work. Test E-mail AutoConfiguration results in 'Autoconfiguration was unable to determine your settings!'.
I can see postings in the Internet of other people having the same problem with OoO, but couldn't see a solution that fits my case: some existing accounts in Outlook are fine, other are not and newly created profiles of aforementioned working accounts do not
work. The majority of the articles/threads I read suggest recreating the Virtual Directories in Exchange, but we did that just a month ago (when troubleshooting the Autodiscover problem) and besides if the problem is in the Virtual Directories, I would expect
it to affect all accounts.
Any help in resolving this problem would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you need other details.
Apologies if the posting is not in the right place or not done properly - I'm still learning.

The IIS log files on the CAS might tell you something. Depending on how your proxy server handles NAT the IP address of your connection might be from the proxy server instead of your client.
In any case, a tool like Fiddler (http://www.telerik.com/fiddler) can be extremely helpful in working on problems like this because it can decode the SSL traffic on the client and you can see what's being sent
and what's being received.
Another thing to check (although it's unlikely to be your case) is whether or not your browser (when you try connecting to the autodiscover URL) thinks it's in the "Internet" zone. the "Local intranet", or at a "Trusted" site.
The domain names you use on machines on your LAN should be excluded from being proxyed. Anything with "." in the name will be set, unless excluded, to the proxy server.
Is the time correct on the client machine? Is it more than 5 minutes different to the Exchange machines and domain controllers? That'd be something that would cause Kerberos to fail.
A certificate can be a problem if its expired or if it doesn't have the correct names. But I wouldn't worry about the uglog.com domain just yet. Until you get the Autodiscover working with the SCP you have bigger problems.
If you've never used a WPAD file then don't worry about it. It's very useful if you have a complex network and you want to manage how browsers connect to servers. For example, if you have multiple proxy servers the each manage a different set of names, an/or
if some names should bypass proxy servers entirely and just connect directly. If run a strictly Microsoft network with only Microsoft product that you can manage with GPOs (and you can enforce those GPOs on every machine -- even the BYOD ones) you probably
don't need a WPAD.

I updated my itunes to 11 and found out my phone and ipod were not compatible. I uninstalled it and reinstalled 10.7 but now I get an error message when I try to open itunes saying "the file cannot be read because it was created by a newer verison"

I updated my itunes to 11 and found out my phone and ipod were not compatible. I uninstalled it and reinstalled 10.7 but now I get an error message when I try to open itunes saying "the file cannot be read because it was created by a newer verison" What do I do?

Thank you for clarify I'm supposed to read the ENTIRE article. I thought I was just supposed to read the title and magically everything will fix itself. I appreciate you taking the time to help me however I do not appreciate the caps and the way you have addressed the situation. If you are not going to kindly help people/make suggestions just don't try! And for the record my conclusions are not illogical, the iOS7 thing is on the website in small font (which I got by reading the ENTIRE thing) and you should really find a new hobby because your socialization skills need some help! That goes for you too Chris. Not everyone is a tech nerd

Can't restore SQL 2005 BAK to SQL 2008 R2 running on Server 2012

Hi there,
Preparing to switch from SQL 2005/Server 2003 to SQL 2008 R2 / Server 2012. Took a backup of the SQL database on 2005 (stored at a cloud backup provider nightly) and copied to the new machine. Unable to restore the .BAK file, with the error:
The media family on device <backup path> is incorrectly formed. SQL Server cannot process this media family.
RESTORE HEADERONLY is terminating abnormally. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 3241)
Tried it with two different backup files from two different nights, same error. I understand that this error can show up when restoring to a lower version of SQL, but that's not the case here.
Also, I know this can occur if the BAK file is corrupt, and I can't verify that yet, but two in a row failed. I'm hoping our cloud solution isn't part of the problem somehow.
BAK file is 15 Gb in size, so don't have the ability to attempt the restore on the 2005 production server. Just not enough room, and can't afford to cause performance issues on that box anyway.
Anyone know of any way to get a better handle on what's going on, or, even better, how to resolve it?
Thanks
Robin

Moving Service Manager Database From SQL 2008 R2 SP2 to SQL 2012 SP1

Hi Guys,
Just looking for some clarification about moving our Service Manager 2012 R2 database to a new SQL Server.
Our Service Manager database is currently on a remote SQL server, shared with other databases, running SQL 2008 R2 SP2. It was originally setup this way as we only deployed Change Management but we are now wanting to deploy everything, fully
utilising SCSM/Orchestrator and Cireson's suite. Due to the limited resources available on that SQL server we are seeing performance issues before even getting it all up and running.
I want to move the Service Manager database to a new dedicated SQL server running SQL 2012 SP1. I am aware of the official DB move procedure but it does not specifically mention moving up SQL versions. I have seen some comments around here that
it is fine to do but some feedback would be good, it is not something I have done before.
All servers in this are fully patched Windows 2008 R2. Also, we do not currently have a Data Warehouse so do not need to worry about that. It was dropped and uninstalled before upgrading to Service Manager 2012 R2 and will be reinstalled after this DB move
using a separate dedicated SQL server.
Thanks, Chris.

As long as your collations and permissions are the same as before it
should not be a problem. That sad i could not find any other documentation saying it's not supported.
I have moved SCSM databases between different SQL-versions before and it has worked fine if the collations etc are correct.

Help -- sql 2008 SP3 (x64) and sql 2012 R2 SMO

We have a sql 2008 x64 sql server with SP3. We need to upgrade a third-party app (related to our SAN) and it needs to install
a. Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable Package (x64)
b. Microsoft SQL Server 2012 CLR Types (x64)
c. Microsoft Sql 2012 R2 Management Objects (x64)
Are there any known compatibility issues installing these on a sql 2008 SP3 server?
TIA,
edm2

Hello,
The components you post above are stand-alone packages that provide additional value for Microsoft SQL Server 2012. The installation of these components will not effect the previous installed SQL Server instance.
SQL Server Management Objects (SMO) is a .NET Framework object which can will work with SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2008, SQL Server 2008 R2, and SQL Server 2012. You can download the SQL Server Management Objects (SMO) and the requisite CLR Types from

Error message during copy of new version, it says the operation cannot be completed because the item foxfire is in use.

During downloading of 7.0 Foxfire, during the copy I get an error message that says the operation cannot be completed because the item Foxfire is in use.

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
* Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded

Full-text search not available after upgrade from SQL 2008 R2 Std to SQL 2012 Std

We upgraded our production SQL Server from 2008 R2 Std to 2012 Std last week, and the installation logs show everything was successful, but now we are unable to do any searches against our full-text indexes. The resulting error is as follows:
"Full-Text Search is not installed, or a full-text component cannot be loaded."
When executing the query "SELECT FULLTEXTSERVICEPROPERTY('ISFULLTEXTINSTALLED')", the result is "0". The "Full-Text Daemon Launcher service is also running. When running installation again to add the feature, it shows
"Full-Text and Semantic Extractions for Search" as being installed and unavailable for selection in the list of features to add. As a side note, we did the same upgrade in our identical QA environment before production and everything was successful
and full-text searches are working correctly. We have run the "Repair" routine in the SQL Installation Center and it did not correct the problem.
The full-text catalogs still appear when browsing through the GUI in SSMS or querying sys.fulltext_indexes and sys.fulltext_index_columns. It is not possible to view the properties of the catalog in SSMS, though, as the GUI throws an error and an empty
dialog box is shown. Any other thoughts?
Thanks,
AJ

I have no idea what is going, but assuming that it is a little pressing to get this fix, I think the best path in this case is to open a case with Microsoft.

HT1766 I am trying to restore a new replacement phone from an icloud backup but it is telling me there is a problem with backup data. The backup was done under 7.1 and I think the new phone still just has 7.04. My itunes backup was lost last week...sugges

I am trying to restore from icloud but it appears the 7.1 it was backed up in and the 7.04 on the new phone won't allow it. My itunes library was lost last week due to computer crashing and having to be restored. I have a clean very current icloud back up done on March 21st but I cant seem to get it there. Suggestions please?

You will have to update the iPhone to iOS 7.1 if that is the iOS the backup was done in. You cannot restore a newer iOS update to a phone with older iOS. Once you update the phone, you will be able to restore the backup.

HT1926 when updating Itunes on my computer an error message appears stating that itunes update cannot be completed because there is a program missing. What program is it that itunes needs? I am currently using windows xp.

My sister has given me a fourth generation ipod. I am trying to update itunes and an error comes up and says that there is a program missing. What program is that? Any ideas? I am super frustrated. Thank you for any help.

Try the following user tip:
"There is a problem with this Windows Installer package ..." error messages when installing iTunes for Windows

ITunes Error message: cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the selected items.

My Iphone 4S still shows that I have 26G of free space yet I keep getting the same error message when trying to sync to itunes. I know for sure my selected music library + photos are only about 1G combined. I've unchecked sync music and photo which removed the files from the phone. Then resynced and getting the same error message again. Any idea what's causing this and how it can be resolved?

Try resetting the iPhone.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
