HOSTNAME_SID folder gone!

Hi! I have a liittle problem with dbConsole / EM. I'm using Windows XP and 11g database.
I created a database along with the EM. let's call it IEI and the hostname is oracle it worked fine for awhile then one day changed the etc/hosts and tnsnames.ora so it would use localhost as the hostname for the instance instead of oracle. then dbConsole service failed to start. so i decided to recreate the repos. using emca
i could drop it just fine but i couldn't create it again. when i do emca -config dbconsole db -repos create, it asked for SID. i entered IEI, then it gave an error without even asking my tns listener port.
i checked my files and it turned out that the oracle_IEI folder is gone form the dbhome_1 folder! i can still access the db with sqlplus though
did i screw it up when i change the etc/hosts or tnsnames.ora ?
it's not a big deal. i can still do everything from sqlplus but it's nice to use the Enterprise Manager.
i can probably do an export, delete the db, create it again and import the data but i want to know what could've caused it.
thx.

this is the log from cfgtoollogs\emca

Shared Documents Folder Gone

I just set up my Mac OS 10.3.9 to file share with Windows XP and have been successfully sharing for a few days. Today I went in to send some documents and my Shared Documents folder was gone...only an alias remained. What happened? And how do I set up a folder again? Thank you

Hi, you should be able to create a folder, say at Root of the Partition, then set Rights in Get Info window for both to read & Write.

All files in utilities folder gone how best to reinstall them ?

My friend has somehow ended up with her Mac with no files in the utilites folder.. and a search shows they are gone
She is a noob and lives in another country and does not want to do a full reinstall as she is scared of loosing her data.
Is there a way to get these files from the install disks without a reinstall ? I suppose i could copy all my files to a disk and post them too her.. any other ideas?

Download a shareware utility called Pacifist from www.versiontracker.com or www.macupdate.com. Use it to extract the Utilities folder from the file archives on the Tiger DVD. The archives are found in the /System/Installatin/ folder on the DVD. Because the version of OS X on the DVD is likely different from the installed version on the computer you should then reinstall the 10.4.x Combo Updater (Intel or PPC) for the version of OS X currently installed. This will assure that the files will be current.
I suggest you also repair the hard disk and permissions beforehand:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your OS X volume from the list on the left, click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (3.0.3 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.1 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X. Note that Disk Warrior will not work on Intel Macs.
One does not "somehow end up" with no files in the Utilities folder. Someone had to remove them deliberately.

Missing applications folder, gone hidden & need help!

This is the second time this has happened to me and someone did tell me how to fix this but I have since forgotten. I'm hoping someone here can remind me.
I've got an eMac running 10.4.10 and when I open the Finder window, the applications folder is no longer there, where it should be and slowly my Mac is turning haywire. Apparently it has gone "hidden" and I don't know how to un-hide it. If someone could please let me know how to fix this, that would be great. And if someone knows why this has happened to me more than once so I can avoid it in the future, that would be great too.
eMac Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Your startup drive should be the drive listed on your Desktop. If you never renamed it, then it is probably named "Macintosh HD" which is the default. You can also go to the Apple menu item and select "About This Mac" and just above the More Info button there should be the entry
Startup Disk Nameofdisk
You would use the name shown in the path. So launch Script Editor and paste this in:
tell application "System Events"
set visible of folder "Macintosh HD:Applications" to true
end tell
Be sure to use the name of your startup drive where "Macintosh HD" is in the script above, if the name is something else (mine for instance is Noobix). Then click the Compile button in the Script Editor toolbar, to make sure there aren't any errors, and then the Run button. If the script runs without reporting an error, you will need to log out and back in, or restart the Finder for the change to be recognized.

Presets Folder Gone from LR 5!!!

After installing LR5 tonight, I imported some preset fes, when I logged back into LR ALL OF adobe LR presets folders were GONE!!! How do I get my folder back???

You're right, Suzanne, I had...or so I thought. I had checked at too high a level in the folder hierarchy. When I drilled down, I found the last two levels of folders didn't even have me listed as an owner. Odd. What I found, to my delight, was that I could change permissions on the master image folder, then instruct that those changes be applied to all folders within the master folder. Solved the whole problem.
So Suzanne, Geoff, even though neither of you directly provided the solution, your answers got me to check a couple of things that turned up the problem and the solution. So thanks!

Main in inbox and sent folder gone after recreating mail account in prefs

I called my ISP when I was getting outgoing mail server error messages. Their tech person said that I had to recreate that email account. They had me delete the existing account then basically make the account again. Expletives deleted. The result for this brilliant advice was that all the mail in my inbox (800 messages) and sent mail copies (maybe 4000 messages) is gone. Apparently over written by a new account with the same name as the old one. I didn't expect that the mail messages themselves would be removed, just the account settings. Is there any sort of trash place that I might be able to recover them from? I've checked the obvious places in myuseraccount>library>mail.

Hello David.
Your ISP gave you some not so good advice without being familiar with the Mail.app account and associated mailbox filing structure at the Finder level. Not good news but don't shoot the messenger.
Before deleting an account in Tiger Mail, the following warning message is provided:
Are you sure you want to remove the (account type here) account “XXXXXXXXXX”?
This will permanently delete the account setup information, mailboxes, and messages from your computer. Copies of messages on the mail server, if they exist, are not affected.
This is usually ignored or not completely understood but is based on the Mail.app filing structure so now the long winded answer for the reason.
Many other email clients utilize a single large database which is not dependent on individual account and associated mailbox filing.
When creating an account in Mail, an account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account) is created in the Mail folder at Home > Library > Mail using the Finder.
For POP type accounts, the following mailbox (mbox) folders are created within the account named folder when the function is used by the account: INBOX.mbox, Drafts.mbox, Sent Messages.mbox, Deleted Messages.mbox and Junk.mbox (when Junk mail is set to automatic). The mbox folders within the account named folder represent the account named mailboxes under In, Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk (when Junk mail is set to automatic) in the Mail.app mailboxes drawer.
When deleting an account in Mail, the account named folder at Home > Library > Mail is deleted at that time and as the warning message indicates, the associated account mailboxes within the account named folder are also deleted. You must select OK after the warning message appears.
It would be preferable for the account named folder to be moved to the hard drive Trash can which requires an additional step to delete but this is not what occurs.
To have any hope of recovering your data, you need to immediately stop using your system and then purchase a copy of a recovery tool such as Tech Tool Pro (Micromat) or Data Rescue (Prosoft Engineering), both of which have data recovery tools. I've not used Data Rescue, but I've seen reports that it recovers files that the others cannot, so it might be your best hope. The chances generally aren't really good even so, but short of sending your drive to a data recovery service (expensive), such utilities are your only hope.
Note that the more you use your system before you attempt recovery, the more likely it is that the system will overwrite the sections of the drive where the data you want to recover is stored, rendering it unrecoverable by any means. You should therefore stop using the system completely until you get and try to use one of the file recovery tools.
This also emphasizes the importance of maintaining a regular backup of the Mail folder and other important data.

Email folder gone after 5.0.0.484 update

I updated my OS to 5.0.0.484 with no problems, except one...my personal email folder is now gone and I can't figure out how to get it back. Email itself is working fine and new mail showing up in the default 'Messages' folder, but I want to have my personal email folder back.
Any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi there!
I suggest the following steps:
1) Register HRT
Homescreen > Options > Advanced Options > Host Routing Table > (it does not matter which line is current) > Register Now
2) Resend Service Books
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
3) Batt Pull Reboot
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should try deleting and re-adding your BIS conduits for the affected email accounts.

Applications folder GONE

One day,i was installing something and when it finished, my entire applications folder is GONE. all of my applications, such as safari, iTunes, system preferences, app store and downloaded applications are gone. i posted this topic form firefox, witch wasn't in the folder. i tried data rescue 3, it didn't help. it there any way to get the folder back?

If you have none of your Applications (did you do a search for, say, Safari or Mail to see if it was accidentally moved elsewhere?) - I'd suggest doing a reinstall from your install disk. You can insert the disk and then choose Restart, hold down the C key until you see the installer. Before proceeding, make sure you have any of your music, videos, etc. backed up just in case.
Once the install is done, repair permissions.
After that, download the combo update to 10.6.6 from the Apple website and install it. Again repair permissions.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1349
After that is done, run Software Update to bring everything else up to speed. Again repair permissions.
If everything is working as it should, you're done (except for having to reinstall any downloaded applications).

Disaster - Entire Pictures folder gone after "empty trash" command?

Hello,
This is a huge SOS. I'm working on several important projects that all require lots of photos, and have just spent the day working on more of them. I'm also a photographer and have hundreds and hundreds of photos in that folder of family, friends, other work projects etc. etc.
Anyway, here are the details: I hadn't emptied the trash in a couple weeks because I've been reorganizing files, deleting a bunch of stuff and also weeding out early versions of photos as I tweaked and changed them. However, after a careful check through the trash, looking to see if I had the original AIFF file of a particular mp3 I'd made, I discovered about 10-15 photos in the trash that I didn't think should be there, I'd recently color coded them for a project I'm working on, and they were pics I'd paid for from a stock footage house. I figured either I'd forgotten that I'd made copies and it was actually ok for them to be there, or they somehow ended up in the trash by mistake. To be safe, I dragged them back into a particular folder within my Pictures folder on the sidebar. Then I emptied the trash, not with the quick key command, but by going to Finder>empty trash. (if that matters) The number of files in the trash surprised me, over 5000, but I figured I'd just had even more files in the trash than I realized... anyway, after I emptied the trash I went back to work on my project, or tried to - the Pictures folder was GONE from the sidebar. Just poof, gone. I did a search with Spotlight, Finder. No sign of the folder. And pls. don't tell me I should have backed them all up to another drive. Of course I should have but I work in AV and everytime I am finally able to buy a new hard drive, a new project ends up taking up it's space.
quad G5 w/2.5 GB DDR2 SDRAM Mac OS X (10.4.7) haven't made a disc image or other inventory of the folder either, unfortunately

Hi Alden
I'm sure you are pretty annoyed with the whole thing, but at least you are in recovery mode now. If you add a folder to the sidebar it is just an alias, same as the dock, and if you dragged it to the trash, it would still not delete the files is was pointing to so it is a bit of a mystery how they got there.
I have done a bit of extensive photo editing and sometimes I would create a new folder in the directory I was working in and call it 'throw' or something, so only after checking that i was keeping what i intended and verifying the redundant would I then drag that throw folder to the trash and empty it there and then as any doubt had been removed.
Good luck with your recovery. I am glad you were able to be helped here.

Folder Gone

I have a special folder on my desktop for files I want to save for school--I'm a teacher. This file had over 8 G of data. It is gone. I cannot access any file I knew was in it. It is not in the trash. It is not in another folder on my computer. I checked. My harddrive has 8 G more space. My Time Machine has not been backing up.
I am using FileSalvage to restore the files. I am investigating why my Time Machine hasn't been backing up. BUT, can anyone tell me what might have caused this folder to disappear?! I've used a Mac since 1990 and I am not a newbie. I am not careless. I just came home and the folder was gone. Now one else uses my computer.
Any ideas?

I don't know if this is the solution, but it may help you :
Are you sure the 8G more space on your HD is caused by this disappearing?
Check its presence with the terminal using `ls -A' command. If you see your folder there, you have two possibilities : either the folder starts with a dot, so just type `mv .myFolder myFolder', or use the command `chflags nohidden myFolder'.
If you don't see your folder in the Terminal.app, I don't see what could have caused this disappearing...
I hope I've been helpful

i used terminal with this command> ls -lad ~/.Trash and it said no such file or directory. It seems some tidying up i've done has gone awry.
what can i do to get it back?

log out/in. your .Trash folder should be recreated when you try to trash something.

Where has my itunes folder gone??

Hi there,
I recently opened a new itunes folder for my sister's music and now I don't know what has happened to my own folder and all my music. Can someone please tell how I am able to access my itunes folder/library?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Sam

Look in your user's My Documents -> My Music folder for the iTunes folder. If it's there, try launching iTunes with the Shift key held down. When you get the dialog box offering to create a new library or locate an existing one, choose the "locate" option, navigate to your copy of the iTunes library, and select it. Then see if things work properly.
If this does indeed work, you'll need to perform this procedure every time you want to switch between your iTunes library and your sister's. You may instead want to give your sister her own user account in Windows. That way she'll have access to her own iTunes library whenever she logs in and you'll get access to yours.
Hope this helps.

Burn Folder gone bizarro!

I created a Burn Folder in the MacOS 10.4.5 Finder today, with the intent of taking images from my iPhoto library and organizing a re-usable "staging area" to create CD-Rs from a catalogue of select images.
As I understand it, a Burn Folder is supposed to only contain aliases of objects you put in it. In this way, Thr Burn Folder can be re-arranged or re-used without taking up lots of space on your hard drive.
Guess what? I tried exporting images from iPhoto (5) to the Burn Folder in the Finder using the "Export" command. When I checked the Burn Folder, there were real image files there; no aliases. (To the tune of 135 MB!) Was I doing something wrong? I tried dragging select images from the iPhoto window to a new Burn Folder. Same result.
iMac 17 1.25 GHz/300GB HD/ 2 GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.5) iPhoto 5 library on external FireWire hard drive

Hello Walt,
In the Panther all the files were copied inside the hard disk before actual burn. In Tiger workflow in Finder is different, aliases of the selected files are created in the burn folder. This applies to Finder but not to applications.
If you are exporting files from application they really get exported, iPhoto will write actual files to disk. You should either use iPhotos internal Burn command or export to another folder than Burn folder. Then use Finder command to collect your files for burning.
