/home contents deleted

I just upgraded from Tiger to Leopard 10.5.4 on a 2GHz, 2.5GB iMac.
It went smoothly, and fairly quickly with the default settings, except that the contents of my old /home directory have apparently been deleted.
I can probably recover most of them, somewhat out of date from a backup.
But why on earth did Leopard delete this directory's contents? So far nothing else appears to be missing (but then the upgrade was only an hour ago).
Or maybe it moved them somewhere?
Any help gratefully received

Have you searched for the folder?

    Hi,
      When I check he message content in the runtime then I get the message

  • After setting up my new 4S restoring a backup of my old one, I've renamed the old 3GS in iTunes and changed the content, deleting all my important stuff. Now I'm syncing the old one to my PC. Can I then backup my NEW 4S to  iCloud without messing up all-?

    After setting up my new 4S, restoring a backup of my old 3GS, I've renamed the old 3GS in iTunes and then I've changed the content, deleting all my important stuff. Now I'm syncing the old one to my PC. Can I then after that safely backup my NEW 4S - which now holds all my company information and stuff - to  iCloud without risking to lose it?

    Hi Mcchen425,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    As a precaution, I would suggest backing up your iPhone to your computer via iTunes as well as iCloud.  Then you can delete one of your two backups.  The article below will explain all of your options for deleting data or backups from your iCloud storage.

    I have Frame 9 patched fully, patch 4, in Windows 7 Ultimate running in VMmare Fusion fully updated. I get this error every time I start Frame.
    I have the same Frame version and updates running in the same Windows Ultimate running on Parallels Desktop 9, fully updated and it runs fine, no issues at all.
    I have removed Frame in VMware several times. completely, with YourUninstaller which cleans all files, folders, and registry entries to no avail. I have deleted and/or renamed the Linguistics folder several times. Changed the maker.ini "sitedictionary=" entry to no avail, (I saw this in another post on another discussion site", didn't work... A side note, Frame 12 runs fine on the VMware machine...
    I am at a loss other than Frame 9 and VMware Fusion are not compatible for some crazy reason. Any ideas?
    Thanks,

  • Content deletion options in URM10g!!

    Hi,
    I would like to get a help for the following query.
    1). 'My Retention Assignments --> Pending Approvals --> My/Other Dispositions --> <Disposition Action Folder> --> List Disposition content and Record --> Disposition content and Record list'.
    In the above page we could see the contents waiting for the approval. If the user approves the disposition action on the Pending Approval page (i.e.: Approval Delete All Revisions) it will affect all the contents under that folder and delete all the contents and its previous revisions.
    I want to select and delete the contents individually by selecting the check box. Is it possible to add a new menu called *'Delete'* in that page, so that user can go and delete the contents by selecting the check box.
    Please help me on to resolve the above issues and various option for content deletion...
    Thanks

    This very much depends on what you mean by "any entry ... in the Database".
    You can check, however, yourself. Here's a link to db scheme: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E10316_01/cs/cs_doc_10/documentation/admin/troubleshooting_10en.pdf (see App A. Understanding the Database).
    You might want to see namely the tables:
    - Revisions
    - FileCache, FileStorage (if you stored documents in the database)
    - ArchiveHistory, DeletedRows
    - IdcColl1, IdcColl2 (fulltext indexes)
    - Sct* tables (if you use ContentTracker)
    - WorkflowHistory (if you use workflows)
    My guess is that you might find the deleted items at least in some history tables.

  • Uploaded Files in "Select Document to Share" still appears (w/different filename) after content deleted.

    Does anyone know how I can remove these as well?  It would appear a copy of uploaded content gets saved somewhere and is referenced (i.e. available) even after I delete the content from my profile administration.
    Nothing in Uploaded Content.
    Files still appearing although as we see below I have purged the uploaded content.

    What you are seeing are the pod instances. If you go to Pods > Manage Pods you can select those instances of the share pod and remove them from the room.

  • Why does all the content delete from my iPod everytime it connects to iTunes

    I'm getting real frustrated and I am getting sick of the same thing happening everytime. I don't know if it's my computer or if it's iTunes. I have an iPod classic 160Gb, the computer is Acer - Aspire One 772 (it's junk, but it works for the time being) Windows 7 (64)
    Here is what happens: I only have podcasts in my iTunes. I have about 15 different podcasts and about 169 episodes in my iTunes. I check and download episodes daily. After downloading episodes, I hook up my iPod to transfer new podcasts to the iPod. iTunes shows everything working fine but after ejecting my pod and looking to see if they transferred they are all deleted. I get angry and want to break everything but I resist.
    To get podcasts onto my iPod I have to restart my computer, open iTunes, reset sync history, then connect my iPod. It doesn't get recognized, so I have to restore the iPod. After restoring I sync it up. Lately it has been freezing during the sync at about 65 episodes. I have to force iTunes to shut down and sometimes go through the restore process. So after listening to my iPod all day, I will come home, check for and download new episodes and hook up my iPod and bam...no more podcasts on my iPod. I need solutions on what could be causing this and how to fix it.
    This is what I have done so far: I have tried another iPod classic and the same thing happens. I have deleted iTunes and reinstalled it. I have checked the iPods with Windows for errors and bad sectors. My last option that I am holding out on, is to delete iTunes and delete all the podcasts from the computer. When I first got this temp. computer everything worked good. I do not know what happened.
    Any ideas, thoughts and solutions are welcomed.
    Thanks,
    Kenny

  • Constant Download Errors & Content Deletion

    I have 2 problems that I've contacted Apple about many, many times without any resolution. They just keep treating me like a moron and then making me go through the same hoops that don't work. Can anyone help:
    1. This is the most persistent. I get an error 5000 at the end of a download saying i don't have proper authority to write to the drive (but I do, i'm an administrator of my machine). The content does not write to my drive (can't find it anywhere) and then i can't download it again as the iTunes store thinks I've already downloaded it. This has happened probably 10 times and I'm missing many things I've paid for. HELP!!!!!!
    2. This is a new one. I did a sync and iTunes deleted content from my iPod saying i don't have rights on this computer to it (though it was downloaded on this computer and paid for on this computer).
    I really don't want to hate Apple, but i'm getting there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Tks,

    Take a close look at the error message to see what it says. I got that yesterday on one site. It couldn't find a file that I had added to the site when creating it originally. It was looking on the Desktop for it as that's where it was when I imported it into iWeb. I has since deleted or moved the file somewhere else. For some reason iWeb 09 occasionally acts like iDVD, i.e. referencing items. I added the photo again, republished and it went thru as it should. So look closely at the error message to see what is causing iWeb its heartburn.

  • Incoming call shows Name - work/mobile/home of deleted contacts !!

    hi all,
    i have iphone with firmware 1.1.3
    I was trying to add a contact while on a call- a feature unavailable in 1.1.3
    while doing so, all my contacts were deleted and I did not sync with my computer.
    THough I do not have a contact in my contacts list, if one of my old contact calls me, his name is correctly displayed with work/home/mobile information.
    This means data is still there but not accessible nor visible? Has anyone encountered such an issue ?
    Trying to sync with computer does not show contacts that were "deleted"
    Any ideas to fix? Else i will upgrade phone firmware.
    Thanks
    Rajas

    I agree that I have old firmware and I should upgrade. Would the update restore my deleted contacts? I do not have unlocked phone or any Non-apple apps.
    I Added a contact with home and mobile#. I then deleted the home# and called my cell from the same deleted home#. The incoming call stil shows the correct information "Name - Home". This means the data is available somewhere in the phone but not visible.
    I tried to do a sync using iTunes 7.7.1 or latest. It only shows me Contacts that I added recently after all my contacts were erased. But when i get calls from those who were in my Contact list, I still see their names poping up when the call comes in and more over it identifies which phone they are calling from home/work/mobile/other. How is that ?
    Thanks

  • Cube content deletion is taking more time than usual.

    Hi Experts,
    We have a Process chain which ideally should run in every two hours. This chain has a delete data cube content step before the new data is loaded in the cube. This chain is running fine for one instance & the other instance is taking more time so it is quite intermittent.
    In the process chain we are also deleting contents from the Dimension tables (in the delete content step). Need your inputs to improve the performance of this step.
    Thanks & Regards
    Mayank Tyagi.

    Hi Mayank ,
    You can delete the indexes of the cube before deleting the contents of the cube . The concept is same as of data loading that data loads happens faster when indexes are deleted .
    If you are having aggregates over this cube , then that aggregate will be also adjusted .

  • ConfigMgr 2012 Update Source content deleted

    Greetings,
    I am experiencing a problem that is appears to be the same as the old thread here:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/bee18ffb-f779-4aa4-900d-046e7711424c/sccm-2012-source-content-gets-deleted?forum=configmanagergeneral
    Rather than revive an old post, I thought it best to start my own.
    We have a rather large environment (CAS +5 Primaries + Many DP's) and we are currently adding several new remote DP's each week. Each time a new DP is added it is placed in a Distribution Group and the "core" package content is sent
    to it.
    I have a problem where my Windows Update Packages keep failing due to content disappearing from the source folder location. This started some time ago, and is now becoming a regular event to correct. Not every day, but once a week or so.
    The Update group has the updates all showing as "downloaded"
    I have a report query that matches the updates to the "GUID" subfolder so I know all the content is there
    I distribute the content from the CAS. Distrmgr.log shows all is good. Packagemgr.log on the Primaries show all is good
    Client have been installing the updates as expected so the deployment does work
    Days/weeks later, ALL the DP's will show as "failed" for that update package. Checking the distmgr.log shows that it is failing to distribute due to a missing source folder. I use my query to work out which update that subfolder GUID belongs to,
    but it is already flagged as downloaded, and when trying to download it again CM just "skips" it thinking it already has the content in that package.
    The "fix" is to download the same update to a new package instead. CM then does a proper check, realises it doesn't have the content and will download the update to the new package source location. I can then copy the missing GUID subfolder
    from the new package into the original package and try the distribution again.
    The problem now is that there are usually many folders missing, so distmgr.log will fail again on the next missing folder. Because it stops at the first error, repeating the above process is incredibly tedious when there are a lot of missing folders.
    My current "solution" is to select ALL the updates that should be in the current package and download them all to a "Temp package" that isn't deployed or distributed anywhere. Then in future when the main deployment package fails, I just
    "select all, copy" the contents of the temp folder into the original folder (skip duplicates) and it puts back all the missing content and distribution will work again.
    We are not using ADR's for this content, although I do have an ADR for the Endpoint updates which go into a completely different distribution package.
    *Something* is cleaning up or purging these folders from the source location, but I have no idea what process or mechanism this might be.
    Any thoughts or suggestions most welcome.
    Scott.

    I've found the cause, blog post write here:
    http://kickthatcomputer.wordpress.com/2014/10/11/configuration-manager-update-source-content-being-deleted/
    Microsoft was working with me trying to identify what was deleting the folders, however nothing was appearing as the cause.
    I just realised this morning that I had used the built-in CM12 Migration function some time back to migrate update packages and groups over to our second hierarchy but hadn't updated any of the migrated content since then. The migrated packages on the second
    hierarchy still point to the same source location and so whenever my original hierarchy added content to the update packages, the second hierarchy would delete it because it though it was "orphaned" content.
    This is something people will have to watch out for when using the migration wizard as the same type of issues will impact things like WIM boot image packages as well where the source content can be manipulated directly by the CM12 system on one hierarchy
    without the other one being aware of that change.
    At the moment the options are to either
    Make sure you run a "migrate changes" job whenever you make changes to updates on your source hierarchy to keep them in sync
    Manually make a copy of the source content to a different folder or location, then update the package source location on the migrated packages to point to that new content (undesirable for massively large content)
    Create a scripted method to schedule regular migration jobs between the hierarchies (looking into this option now)

  • Bridge Home Content problem

    Hi,
    Bridge 2 (CS3) displays content that is clickable, however
    when I click on it nothing happens. For instance, clicking on the
    200 Adobe CS 3 training videos.
    I've disabled Norton Internet Security. I've emptied the
    cache, reset the defaults, unchecked all the scripts, closed the
    folder and meta panels. Alas a lack of results.
    I appreciate any and all suggestions.
    Kind regards,
    George

    Hmm... Now I have following problem... Now the Home button works but when you load the content and expect that the movie with the content uploaded passes through the last frame (where there is a code: gotoAndPlay(200); ) the home button stops working. But only when the conten is loaded. In the first 190 frames I have an INTRO, and in a frame 200 I've put AC3 for buttons. On the last frame gotoAndPlay(200); because I would not play the INTRO again whenever you press the button Home. I don't know why this happens.

  • IPhone content deleting itself & sync issues

    Hi everyone, new here, so hopefully I'll be able to get in everything that needs to be said to help solve the issue.
    I've got a 64GB iPhone 4S that is completely up-to-date software-wise and has a good 30GB free. All content is added manually from iTunes to the iPhone (the appropriate box is ticked) and I have ticked the box in Preferences to ensure all devices don't sync upon being plugged in.
    Now, here's the problem: when adding music to the phone, ripped from CD's or downloaded elsewhere in MP3 or M4A, the music will transfer over to the phone perfectly. However, the next time the phone is plugged in and I attempt to add new content, iTunes tells me that it is updating files and preparing to update, but it just hangs here. The songs are listed as on the phone, but are greyed out. So, when I unplug and refer back to the Music app on the phone, the songs just skip from one to the other, before eventually telling me that there is no content there whatsoever, despite iTunes telling me otherwise.
    This is also the case with any video content, all videos are converted in the right format, but I can never get them to transfer over. iTunes tells me it is updating files and preparing to update, but once again iTunes just hangs and the files are there in iTunes but they're greyed out. I can't access or play them, only delete them within iTunes itself.
    Am I doing something majorly wrong? This occurs every single time and a hard reset doesn't seem to have solved the issue.
    Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, I can never seem to find a definitive answer or the situation is different from my own.
    Cheers!

    I have the same problem and have noticed that if I just put in an appointment name and time it seems to sync from iPhone 3g to Exchange calendar, however, if I type in notes, it does not sync. Hope a solution or work around shows up soon.
