Files missing from desktop after deleting a user profile that was created on there.

I downloaded and installed firefox and it asked me to create a user profile, but it could not save in the default location. I chose to create the profile on the desktop as a test and that worked. However, after deleting that user profile, all of the items on my desktop were removed and cannot be located. The files are not in my trashbin and when I do a search, it says the file cannot be located. I have Windows 7.

You shouldn't create a profile and choose an existing folder.<br />
You should always specify an empty folder and if you didn't do that then you should never remove the files when you remove such a profile because all files in it will be removed and not just the files created by Firefox.

    Delete the Gmail SMTP server, then pick the correct SMTP server for the account that you are using.
    Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): expand the dropdown next to the label and delete the incorrect server, then pick the correct server and check the box that says "Use Only This Server"

  • Importing data from Excel to generate "filled" PDF form that was created in Designer

    Hi there
    I have a form that was created in Designer.  The data that  I need to import is all in a Excel spreadsheet with the same fields as the form.
    Is it possible to import all the data so that it generates a printed PDF with the data on each line of excel?
    For example:
    If my excel file shows:
    First Name      Last Name     Phone Number        UserID
    John               Doe               416-777-9970           johndoe997
    Mike               Rogers           905-887-3398          mikerogers997
    In this example I would like to generate a PDF form for John and for Mike, each with their details filled out on the form based on the data in the excel sheet
    Thanks in advance!

  • Files missing from library after archive and install

    Hi forum folk
    any help you could give would be much appreciated.
    I can't seem to verify my permissions on HD. I have run disk utility both from finder and from my OSX startup disk and consistently get the error message "Disk Utility has lost its connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue." I then reinstalled the operating system all together making sure to archive and install as well as archive previous network and preference settings. This means I am running 10.3.4 at the moment (and I can't verify any of the software updates at the moment). After reinstalling I still cannot verify my permissions, so now I am trying to back up all my files so that I can reinstall the OSX again, erase everything, and start from scratch. But I'm running into some very strange problems while doing this. select files are missing from ~/library. there is no Safari file, for example. I tried looking in HD/previous systems/library where my library files were saved before I reinstalled the operating system but there is no such folder in there either. this means all of my bookmarks are gone. additionally, under library/preferences (in both the old and new library folders) there is no file named com.apple.itunes.plst. so all of my itunes playlists are gone as well. these are the only missing files I have found thus far and i can't explain why they selectively would not have been saved after the archive and install. Everything else seems to be intact. Any ideas?
    thanks

    my HD has a capacity of 8.85 GB available. When I reinstalled panther I had little more than 3 GB available (I deleted a bunch of unneeded things since then)
    Thanks for this update. What is the total formatted capacity of your HDD? I ask because I suspected that you might be cutting it pretty close. The rule of thumb is that you should have 10-15% of your total capacity available as free space. My personal rule is 15%-20%. This allows for more efficient perfomrance of OS X.
    I am in the process of backing up everything on my seagate combo USB 2.0/firewire 200 GB external (I am using the firewire cord)
    Having an up-to-date backup is one of the primary rules, often observed more in the breach than not. Since you have an HDD that supports Firewire, I suggest that you make a bootable clone of your entire HDD using SuperDuper. You can then use this backup as an emergency boot drive. However, it must be Firewire, as PPC Macs don't boot from USB devices.
    I also have heard that it is advisable to reinstall the OS "every now and again" and I hadn't done this for at least two years. was I ill-advised?
    Most experienced Mac users never re-install, except under dire circumstances. Since installing my new HDD in this computer I have never re-installed. Re-installation is the utlimate intrusive measure, and it exposes one to all kinds of issues, from lost data, to flawed installaton, to installations that fail midstream. Re-installation is not an effective maintenace procedure. Here are some helpful links in terms of maintenance:
    Mac OS X 10.3/10.4: System maintenance
    Macintosh OS X Routine Maintenance
    Maintaining OS X.
    I'm going to restart now and try and verify my permissions again using the procedure on the above link. I'll let you know what happens.
    Instead of verifying permissions, just go ahead and Repair Disk Permissions. Verifying permissions does nothing, and wastes your time, as it is difficult to tell whether you need to repair, and you have to repair anyway.
    Do post back with an update of your progress and any further questions or comments.
    Good luck.

  • Password expire date back to 2011 from 2012  after assigned  a user profile

    Friends,
    I created a profile test as
    COMPOSITE_LIMIT UNLIMITED
    SESSIONS_PER_USER UNLIMITED
    CPU_PER_SESSION UNLIMITED
    CPU_PER_CALL UNLIMITED
    LOGICAL_READS_PER_SESSION UNLIMITED
    LOGICAL_READS_PER_CALL UNLIMITED
    IDLE_TIME 60
    CONNECT_TIME UNLIMITED
    PRIVATE_SGA UNLIMITED
    FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS 5
    PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME 120
    PASSWORD_REUSE_TIME           60
    PASSWORD_REUSE_MAX           30
    PASSWORD_VERIFY_FUNCTION NULL
    PASSWORD_LOCK_TIME 1
    PASSWORD_GRACE_TIME 7;
    the user default profile default PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME is 180 and password expired date is 1/7/2012. the test account was created in 7/11/2011.
    Now I assign test user to test profile successfully.
    However. expire date becomes 11/8/2011 1 from 1/7/2012 by select dba_users
    which wrong is in my profile or somewhere?
    As I think, the account password expired should be start after assigned new profile with PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME. but is seems expire date is start from original account created date.
    Thanks
    newdba
    Edited by: Oradb on May 24, 2012 1:56 PM

    I would think the expire time would be based on the last password change time which Oracle stores in the rdbms base table for user information (user$). Find a second user, alter the password, check the expire date, then assign the user to the new profile, re-check the expiration date. Post back. Behavior may vary between releases so include full Oracle version of test.

  • How to delete an apple-id that was created with an invalid email address?

    After upgrading to IOS.5.0, my apple-id for the IPod was incorrectly change to an invalid email address.
    I have verified my apple id on itunes on my desk top. How ever, the apple id on the IPad  is still an invalid address which I can't validate or change.
    Any ideas will be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Mitch

    If everything works in iTunes on the computer see if this works. Sign out of the invalid account/email address and the sign in with the correct one on the iPad. Settings>Store>Apple ID - sign out.
    Restart the iPad before you try signing in with the correct ID.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • IPad 2 icons go missing from desktop on rotating basis

    As stated, iPad 2 icons go missing from desktop on rotating basis. My iPad was new as of Xmas day. I have NOT synced to iTunes (I don't want to at this time) and I have NOT upgraded the software to iOS 5.0.1 (still on 5.0).
    I have downloaded about twenty apps; five of which cost money from Apple's app store.
    I don't get it. This is a new device that I have been using for less than ten days for only an hour or two a day; I don't believe new purchasers of iPads should be having to contend with icons going missing (icons take turns disappearing when swiping back and forth between the pages of app icons, the names of icons remain, however).
    I have re-booted the iPad. At first the icons all reappear and all seems well until about an hour of usage of opening up various apps and using them, and then the problem re-appears. I have done this three times now, and have resorted to just contending with the problem as the apps will still launch and they run fine, it is just that the full icon doesn't appear (only the name of the app and a missing icon above the name of the app):
    I am thinking the cause could be due to one of two problems/issues, but wonder what others' thoughts are.
    1). Glitchy App. If it is due to a glitchy app (and does not Apple test these apps before giving the all -clear to be downloaded from the Apple app store?), how best to figure out which one it is?
    2) Glitchy OS (iOS 5.0). If this is due to a glitchy 5.0 iOS, is there no other choice than to upgrade to 5.0.1? I really do not want to do that just yet unless it is necessary. [And if it is necessary, would Apple really release a glitchy iOS knowing ahead of time it had problems? Seems strange....]
    Anyone got any ideas or have been experiencing the same issue (is it a known issue)?

    And if you restore as new, you can re download the apps for free as long as you are using the same apple id. 
    If it was a single bad app, you would have said so.  If it was a common problem with the os, it would have been reported by a zillion users. 
    I think your os got corrupted. ( potentially from a bad app, or maybe just gremlins). It is a new machine, just start over.  Reload the apps in small groups so that if it is a bad app, you can narrow the issue down.

  • Where can I get help re: a file missing from Pages in iCloud?

    Where can I get help re: a file missing from Pages in iCloud?

    If the file was also on a mac, then there was a local copy of the file in ~/Library/Mobile Documents.  If you use Time Machine or any other backup program on your computer, then try restoring the file(s).  Similarly the same thing would be done on a PC, but I'm not sure where the icloud local copies are kept.

  • UCM 11g File missing from search result although file is accessable

    When I do search without any criteria in UCM 11g, some files missing from search result although I know the files were checked into UCM already since I'm able to see these files using url similar to:
    http://ucm/cs/idcplg?idcService=GET_FILE&dID=12345
    or use following url to get document information:
    http://ucm/cs/idcplg?idcService=DOC_INFO&dID=12345
    the file is not in the search resule even search by ID.
    also, the seach result say "displaying 1-20" but only display few files (e.g. 2 files, less than 20)
    Is this a known problem? the same search was working in UCM 10 perfectly.
    Thanks

    The query seems able to retrieve the missing document. for example, I search by content ID, in the audit log (eanbled as you mentioned) give th efollowing information:
    fusionappsattachments/6     09.13 06:22:03.878     IdcServer-3474     --- @ResultSet SearchResults ---
    fusionappsattachments/6     09.13 06:22:03.878     IdcServer-3474     numFields=66,*numRows=1*,currentRow=0
    also, the infomation following above give the deteail field information which match with the missing document.
    I looks like UCM just did not bring it to UI as part of search result.
    This seems match with my another finding as I mentioned earlier: the seach result say "displaying 1-20" but only display few files (e.g. 2 files, less than 20)
    it seems query did find the documents but UI did not show it.
    Not sure if this is a known bug.
