Files on our server disappeared after CC install

I'm hoping someone can help me figure out how to retrieve two folders that were deleted from our server after I installed full Creative Could suite on the iMac I use (designer) and InCopy on four editor computers (two PCs, two iMacs). The Macs are running Yosemite and the PCs Windows 7.
I now see from the discussion boards that this has happened in the past, but I hope to find out...
1. Is there a way to recover the files via Adobe?
2. How can I make sure this doesn't happen again?
The folders in question were named "Admin" and "Archives," so I suspect the problem was that Adobe had a conflict with the directory names. But since Admin stored our contracts and Archives had the past 5 years of our publication draft files, this is a big deal. (And wouldn't you know we discovered this morning that our backup had been failing for the past 2 weeks but no one told us. Grrr!)
Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

So embarrassed. Talked to Adobe support on the phone and then to our staff. It seems someone here DID get several pop-ups asking if it was okay to delete those folders and she assumed she should say Yes. At least the missing files affect her more than the rest of us... Needless to say, I have now turned off the file sync preference on everyone's computer!

Cannot start the SQL server service after you install Active Directory

Good Morning,
Im the system admin for a small company. We have a dedicated domain controller but it is the only one. To get a second domain controller up and running on our domain, I installed the AD role on our file and SQL server. After the reboot
we couldnt get SQL up and running. I found this article
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929665
In the article it reads
To work around this issue, repair Windows Internal Database. To do this, run the following command line at a command prompt:
Msiexec /i SSEE_10.msi CALLERID=OCSetup.exe REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=omus /qn REBOOT=ReallySupress /l*v <var><Log_File_Path></var>
My question is what is the Log_File_Path? Is that where I installed the AD log path?
My DBA is also looking into this as well.
Thanks in advance,
Brian

Hi Brain,
what's version of SQL Server that you have installed and what's your operationg system version info?
If you are running SQL Server 2008, which is not supported on the Windows Server 2008/2008 R2 domain controll (DC), even on Windows Server 2003 DC, there are limitations. Microsoft does not recommend to install SQL Server instances and DC on the same server,
for more information, see Install SQL Server on a Domain Controller (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506.aspx#DC_Support).
There are some threads in the forum talked about installing SQL Server and DC on the same server, here are some for your references:

I've purchased an app and it shows up in my iTunes. But when I download it to my phone, it disappears after its installed. Why is this?

I've purchased an app and it shows up in my iTunes. But when I download it to my phone, it disappears after its installed. Why is this?

Is the app checked in the Apps tab of iTunes? That's how you tell iTunes whether you want the app on your phone or not.
Otherwise, check the very last screen on the phone.

"On my Mac" folder including all my subfolders in Mail have disappeared after Yosemite install! HELP!

"On my Mac" folder including all my subfolders in Mail have disappeared after OS X Yosemite version 10.10.2 install! What should I do?

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
          Envelope Index
          ExternalUpdates.storedata
Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Typically, the process takes a few minutes, but it may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. In that case, you may be able to speed things up by temporarily adding your home folder to the Privacy list in the Spotlight preference pane. Remove it when Mail has finished importing.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

Mysterious File's on Macintosh HD after Clean Install

Hi there,
Is it normal to have the following files in the Macintosh HD after a clean install: "bin", "cores", "etc", "private", "sbin", "tmp", "usr", "var" and "Volumes"? Here is a photo if that helps. http://www.flickr.com/photos/27650618@N03/2643669358/

E and F drives disappear after I install iTunes and Quick Time

Whenever I install iTunes/Quick Time on my computer, my E and F drives "disappear" and I have no way of accessing them or playing CDs/DVDs. The only way I know how to get them back is to restore my computer to an earlier date. When I do that, I no longer have iTunes/Quick Time on my computer. My computer is an HP Pentium 4 with Windows XP.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix this problem? It drives me crazy and I can't update my iPod Shuffle very often because of what I have to go through to get my drives back when I'm done. I'd appreciate any help you can give me.

First since you have done restores, you need to goto microsofts windows update site and update windows. Then goto the PC makers site and install all updates for your model, especailly BIOs IDE controller and CD/DVD ROM updates.
After that install itunes.
Then rightclick "My COmputer" hit Manage>Device manager and see if theres a "Code 41" error message showing beside your CD DVD Drives

Accounts disappeared after re-installing Lion

Hello,
After re-installing Lion, my login accounts disappeared.
I can only see the Guest account.
However, when I boot with Windows, I can see the directories of my accounts.
Currently, I can't login Mac OS.
Any advise is welcomed.

Did you eerase and re-install, then migrate?

Where in the directory structure are they?
Have you looked in /Users to see if a new account was created there?

IWeb 1.1.1 templates disappeared after re-install

The problem started after I used the official Mac OS disc to install the developers tools (X11 and XCode to be specific). To install these tools, the disc wants to 'upgrade' my Mac OS X.
Before the install/upgrade, my iWeb has all the new 1.1.1 style templates, plus the blank pages. After the install, all of these disappeared. Less styles, no blank pages. I know I'm not dreaming this because I created a web site using a style template that has now disappeared.
I tried re-installing iWeb. I checked it's 1.1.1. I tried upgrade (but it tells me it's the latest version). What can I do to get the templates back?
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Delete iWeb Receipt packages:
go here: /Library/Receipts/
reinstall iWeb 1.0, then upgrade to iWeb 1.1.1

HT6114 My os x server disappeared after upgrading to mavericks

I had purchased OS X Server on my Mountain Lion version, but it disappeared after upgrading to Mavericks. What should I do to get my Server back?

I understand, sadly Apple set the rules & the prices.
You will need to read the requirements for running Server.app, the old version was for 10.8, the newest is for 10.9. if you hope to configure on 10.9 you'll need to pay again.

Files disappeared after Yosemite install

Hi there, I've had Yosemite installed for a few weeks now on my laptop (13-inch, early 2011 2.3Ghz Intel Core i5) and have only noticed today that many folders in my Macintosh HD>Home directory are empty! I found out when I was trying to setup a user dictionary in Word 2008 – when prompted to save this new dictionary, Word was unable to find the old path it used to use to save dictionaries in. When I went to Finder to see what was going on, I found that the folders in my home folder are just empty – e.g. Applications, Music, Movies (Cmd+I indicates they contain zero bytes, so they appear to be genuinely empty). What on earth is going on? Has anyone had this same problem? What can I do to 'restore' my files? Any help much appreciated, as I really need some of those missing files

Windows 8 offline files on network share disappear after offline reboot

Hello,
We are using Group Policy Preferences to map a drive for our users. Windows 8 users who make this drive, or some of the files\folders in it, 'Always available offline' are finding that the network drive disappears completely if they do an offline reboot.
Windows 7 users are fine - their drive\files\folders continue to be visible and available even after an offline reboot.
Our domain is Windows 2008 R2.
I've had a look around for suggested solutions to this issue. So far I've tried re-initialising the offline
file cache and ensuring that hotfix 2795944 is installed on the Windows 8 machines as these seemed to fix similar issues for other people. However, neither have worked for me.
Can anyone suggest anything else that might solve this issue please?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Ros

Hi Roger,
Thanks for your reply, but I'm afraid your suggestion hasn't worked.
I added that DWord value ([HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"EnableLinkedConnections"=dword:00000001) into the registry and rebooted while connected to our network. When
I logged back on, I'd lost my network mapping completely. I ran a gpupdate /force to reapply the group policy. When I logged back on, the drive mapping was back but incorrectly - it was mapped to the root of the 'Users' directory on the file server
instead of users\username as it should be.
I deleted the registry key, rebooted and my drive mapping was back to users\username as expected. However, it still loses the mapping as soon as I do an offline reboot.
The 'Reconnect' option is not checked in our Group Policy.

How to install OAS Server Control after initial install

I have a server where OAS 10.1.3.1 is installed and running, but it looks like the OAS Server Control was not part of the initial install. I need to go in and change some timeout settings but am not sure how to get to those settings without the Server Control web interface. Can I install this separatly without affecting what is already setup?
Thanks,
D. Scholz

No you can't, I read in a note that you can configure it after installation, so you may need to reinstall in order to have it.
Other way is to install a new server and create a Cluster configuration, and you could have both servers administrated by one EM console.
For this, after install the new instance (checking the box to configure EM console that is one of the final screen in OUI before start the install process), stop all services, then add to opmn.xml file in both instances this:
*<notification-server interface="ipv4">*
*<topology>*
*<nodes list="app01:6201,app02:6201" />*
*</topology>*
*</notification-server>*
Of course app01 and app02 are the name of the appservers (hostnames) and the ports are for the Remote port of opmn, that you can look at them in opmn.xmml file also.
At the end you will only need to make a opmnctl start, then opmnctl reload and finally opmnctl startall, to check that this work, you can run opmnctl @cluster status and it will have to show you the status of both instances, finally, if you can see both instances in opmn, you may try to check Em console, you will see both instances too..
Hope this helps.
Regards

Mail in On My Mac disappeared after Mavericks install

Yesterday, after making a complete SuperDuper backup, I installed Mavericks on my lovely bride’s MacBook Pro Retina (Mountain Lion).
Everything went smoothly, and all of her various email archives in On My Mac subfolders appeared and were readable.
She decided to clean up those old email folders. I created a new mailbox named Archive at the top On My Mac level. Throughout the afternoon, she dragged the various On My Mac subfolders with old mail into the new Archive folder. She stepped away for a few hours, returned to continue the archive process - and the new Archive folder had disappeared. The MBP had not been shut down (and still has not).
I checked Library>Mail. Right at the top, there’s a folder marked “Mail Lost + Found” with lots of .mbox content. Just below that is the expected folder marked “V2” with the bulk of the expected mail components. Under its “Mailboxes” folder, the very first .mbox is “Archive.” All the subfolders she had dragged to that folder yesterday do appear in the “Archive” .mbox.
I hope someone will field a few questions, please.
1. Why would the new Archive folder at the top level of On My Mac disappear?
2. What should I do next? I’m concerned that restarting may wipe out the Archive mailbox and its contents, but I’ve read that a restart sometimes corrects Mavericks Mail problems.
3. Assuming I can get her Archive folder visible again, is she likely to run into the same problem if she continues to drag the remaining 10-15 subfolders into the Archive folder?
4. What, if anything, should I do about the .mbox material in the “Mail Lost + Found” folder? At least some of it appears to be duplicates of the subfolders in the Archive folder.
5. Is there a better, more stable archive solution for all this mail? It spans years, multiple IMAP and AOL accounts, and is - or was - neatly organized in subfolders by topic in Mail. Would Mail Steward be able to import this mail, keep the mail organized, and be as searchable as the Mail app? Would it be a good solution to import and reconcile the material in the “Mail Lost + Found” folder? Again, I do have her full Mountain Lion system, including all the Mail, on a bootable SuperDuper drive If that might help create an archive outside of Mail app.
Thanks!

Hi Eric. Thanks for your response.
1. All the non-archived sub-folders already appeared under “On My Mac,” so they weren't hidden.
2. A restart helped, in fact. I first made a copy of the entire Library>Mail folder so I would still have all the .mbox content. Upon restart, Mail automatically created its own Archive. Fortunately, it contained all the subfolders in the manually created Archive mailbox that had disappeared. Apple apparently reserves the term "Archive" for its own use in Mail. I found another thread that arrives at the same conclusion and suggests a fix for a related problem: Re: Deleted my 'On my Mac' folder in Archived mail after Mountain Lion OS X update - all mail lost - how to retrieve?
3. I believe the answer to #3 is yes; she'll need to drag her non-archived subfolders to Apple's newly created Archive from now on.
4. I copied them along with the Library>Mail folder, so I'll have them if I need them.
Thanks again for your suggestions.

Mailboxes disappeared after Leopard install

When I installed Leopard my mailboxes disappeared. I still have the same messages in INBOX, SENT, TRASH, and JUNK that were there before and my address book is fine, but the critical mailboxes (folders) where I filed my messages have vanished!
HELP!

I know I need a real Mac expert..but until I find the 'right' one...I too cannot access ALL my address book after Leopard was installed.
Where do I find the folder mentioned? Went to applications..NADA...have so many problems with mobilemail..it is discouraging.
Appreciate any simple response that I might be able to use until I get major help!

Restore iBooks files from time machine backup after clean install

I just did a clean install of Yosemite. I still have a Time Machine backup of my Mavericks install. iBooks in my new Yosemite install does not have all of my books and pdfs in it - just the ones I can download from the iBookstore.
Is there an easy way to access my Mavericks Time Machine backup to retrieve my old iBooks files?

When I go back to the backup it does not let me go back to the previous backupprobably because the last backup was Lion and I am on Mt. Lion now. don't what to do another backup if that is going to mess up the old one. I can access it though by just going to it. So i am putting that one on my desktop and I am going to rename it and see if I can open in Iphoto.
