How do I initialize the plugins database?

Having a problem re-installing Adobe Flash Plugin'. Error message says "Directory name is invalid", Mozilla support says re-initialing the plugin database may fix the problem. I have the printed directions to do this in front of me, but I'm stuck because first it says "Open the profile folder" and I literally don't know where this is located? (I see it's got to contain a Firefox window). I guess I've got to be walked through this a little.
I would very much appreciate any help you can provide. Many Thanks.

As Tylerdowner said above, by all means update to the latest Firefox version.

  • How do I fix the itunes database?

    itunes gives me an error on every sync to my ATV.
    "Some of the items in the itunes library including, (16 podcasts) were not copied to the ATV because they could not be found."
    I know the podcasts are gone from both the mac and the ATV, how do I fix the itunes database?
    I have tried re downloading the podcasts and letting itunes delete them automatically after being watched, but i still get the error every time i sync. It is very annoying having to clear the error every sync.

    Re-creating the library described here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
    Make sure you sync with AppleTV first if you have purchases on there not synced back to iTunes yet.
    It will lose some settings eg connected AppleTV's, and possibly manually added metadata such as album art and text not automatically added on import or added after files imported - at least it did last time I did this.

    You can’t. You have upgrade or have whoever is send you files save as IDML. Don’t expect perfection.

  • How do I make the plugin run automatically when a photo is imported?

    I am trying to write a new plugin where the metadata will be automatically added to the photo when I import the photo in the Lightroom.

    As John said, there is no mechanism to receive notification of import. The likely recourse is continuous polling (unless you get very creative..).
    You can try optimizing. e.g.: every second (or less), see if the count has changed, if it's gone up, something's been imported, if not then probably not (check anyway once in a while..).

    How do I save the custom metadata with the image file?
    Lightroom 5 has the limitation, plugin  cannot link the custom metadata fields to XMP file or save them with image file.
    So, is there any alternative way to save the custom metadata?
    Yeah: Lightroom won't save custom metadata in xmp, nor read it if it's there, so you are pretty much on your own - you can save in a file, but if you save as non-standard sidecar Lr won't attend to it like it will jpg or xmp sidecar. For that reason it's often better to save in a separate dedicated location. You can save in image file itself, e.g. using exiftool if raw file, but that would make me nervous, and of course you'd have to have the logic to read it somewhere too..
    Good luck,

  • How do I disable the plugin check at Firefox Version 18 or higher startup?

    This thread carries on from a discussion about How do I disable the plugin check at Firefox startup? As clearly Tylerdowner did not like my previous message and so would like me to obviously start a whole new thread to find out what’s going on.
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/938821
    Tyler: I am still looking for support and so are the other 83 people who have this problem. Hence why I am here, not to have to start another thread, not to have a go at you or just to run around further to get a clear, straight forward answer. I am now back to running Version 12 (which, has not solved the problem), with up-to-date plugins which are all supported.
    Don’t fob us off, PLEASE HELP. Unless I am very much mistaken, this is the place we are meant to find help, right? Not to be completely blown off because somebody says something you don’t like. Perhaps someone better suited to this will help. I’ll follow on from then with MY problem from Tyler’s final comment as it is highly relevant:
    Tylerdowner: Rumor Control, if you are running Firefox 18 with up to date plugins, then you are having a different problem than this thread is about. This is for Firefox 3.6 users who have old plugins, not those with updated software.

    I should also add this info for all to see clear as part of my question (can be seen in More system details too):
    I liked that version, was the first ever FireFox browser I tried and because of it made it my number 1 browser. There have been a heck of a lot from 3.6 to 18 though I think we’d all agree. Progress can and often is messy, but worth it.
    Which is fine except mine, a different version, up-to-date plugins – and I’ve still same problem as these guys. It’s exactly the same even for me who has updated: How do we get rid of the Plugin Check Screen every time we start FireFox? I know I am up-to-date – as it tells me every single time!
    I agree everyone should be up-to-date with the software and this may very well be the case that solves a lot of people with lower versions – yet I can say I updated from version 12 to the latest 18, spent the time getting half a dozen different updates as it wanted (all of which are supported according to the link you provided) plugins and yet I am still having the same problem as users with 3.6 and older plugins! Went back to version 12.0 and I am getting the problem since installing version 18.
    Therefore from the fact I’m still getting the popup every time telling me everything is updated and safe, which is lovely to know, still doesn’t change the fact it won’t go away! Not a major problem but it is getting tedious now every single time.
    Like I say I am willing to wait and see if this gets fixed anyway which to be fair, FireFox seem to do a lot better than the competition. If it doesn’t though I’d still rather go back to an older version just to be rid of it! But not even that is now working to be gone of it! It’s gotten that ridiculous for me now too!

  • How to know whether the current database is using a password file or not?

    How to know whether the current database is using a password file or not?

    The remote_password_file is the parameter that determines if you can use or not a password file. The values this parameter can have are NONE, SHARED, EXCLUSIVE. It is pretty obvious, if it is set to either SHARED or EXCLUSIVE the oracle instance has enabled the access through a password file for the SYSDBA and SYSOPER roles.

  • How can I reuse the BC4J database connection?

    How can I reuse the BC4J database connection?
    I want to use the application module connection without opening another in a custom code. At this level I can’t access de ADF code, that’s why I can’t get the DBConnection from the application module.
    Now, I have a “data-sources.xml” in my project and the application module is configured to access the database from this xml file.

    I found the solution in other Forum. I worked ok.
    Here the code:
    If the Connections-Navigator connection is DBConnection1, the corresponding datasource is jdbc/DBConnection1DS.
    1. Create a JSP page.
    2. In the web.xml of the JSP add
    <resource-ref>
    <res-ref-name>jdbc/DBConnection1DS</res-ref-name>
    <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
    <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
    </resource-ref>
    3. In the JSP page obtain a connection with the datasource.
    InitialContext initialContext = new InitialContext();
    javax.sql.DataSource ds = (javax.sql.DataSource)initialContext.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/DBConnection1DS");
    java.sql.Connection conn = ds.getConnection();

  • An error occurred while attempting to initialize the Borland Database Engine (error $2108)

    Hello:
    I have recently started getting this error when trying to Hot Sync my device:
    An error occurred while attempting to initialize the Borland Database Engine (error $2108)
    The device is a Symbol scanner with Palm OS v4.17.   It is connected to my computer with a serial cable.  The only relatively recent changes I can think of to my system are:
    1. Installed a Borland software product (StarTeam) that is newer than my Palm software.
    2. Installed MS Office 2007.
    Please let me know if you need any more information.
    Thanks!
    Post relates to: None

    I would have to recommend you contact your vender where you got the scanner from. If a device got this error that we support we would hard reset the device and rename the backup folder under the username for hotsync. With this device I wouldn't know where to start.

  • How do I know the Orchestrator Database name the Runbook server use?

    On the Orchestrator SQL intance i found two databases.
    How do I know the Orchestrator Database name the Runbook server use?

    There should only be one: Orchestrator
    Or rather, this is the one it uses. You can have other DBs for different stuff.

  • Elements 13 wont identify my scanner, how do i get the plugins

    can some one help with the above,elements 13 wont identify my scanner in file/import tab, just says wai support , how do i get the plugins david

    It is most likely Adobe Flash that you need. Unfortunately, Firefox for mobile does not support flash, yet. that will be changing soon in Firefox 13 for Mobile. [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/13.0a2/auroranotes/ http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/13.0a2/auroranotes/] and [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687265 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687265]. Hopefully this will be released in the next few months, or you can try the Aurora build!

  • How can I move the distribution database to a new server?

    I need to migrate an old distribution database to a new VM. My understanding is that you can detach/attach the distribution DB to make this easier. What are the 'gotchas' in this process? Do I need the detach/attach the system databases as well? The distributor
    is facilitating data from Oracle to SQL Server.
    Another question.. what are some good benchmarks for figuring out how much horsepower I should have set up in my VM that running distribution?
    Thanks,
    phil

    Hi philliptackett77,
    As your description, you want to migrate the distribution database to a new server. Based on my research, you need to remove the replication,  create the distribution on the new server, and recreate publication and subscription according to Satish's post.
    So you don’t need to detach or attach the distribution database or system databases.
    To make this process simple, you could use SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) to generate scripts and run the scripts to recreate publications and subscriptions or drop publications and subscriptions as the screenshot below. Checking ‘To create or enable the
    components’ generates the script for creating the publications and subscriptions, and Checking ‘To drop or disable the components’ generates the script for dropping the publications and subscriptions.
    Firstly, please use SSMS to generate the script which is used to create publications and subscriptions.
    1.Connect to Publisher, or Subscriber in SSMS, and then expand the server node.
    2.Right-click the Replication folder, and then click Generate Scripts.
    3.In the Generate SQL Script dialog box, check ‘To create or enable the components’.
    4.Click Script to File.
    5.Enter a file name in the Script File Location dialog box, and then click Save. A status message is displayed.
    6.Click OK, and then click Close. For more information about the process, please refer to the article:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms152483.aspx
    Secondly, follow the steps above, check ‘To drop or disable the components’ to generate the script used to drop publications and subscriptions. Then run the sript to drop publications and subscriptions.
    Thirdly, please disable distribution using Transact-SQL or SSMS following the steps in the article:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms152757(v=sql.105).aspx.
    Fourthly, please create the distribution at the new server using Transact-SQL or SSMS following the steps in the article:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms151192.aspx#TsqlProcedure.
    Last, please run the script generated in the first step to recreate publications and subscriptions.
    Regards,
    Michelle Li

  • How to switch off the plugin update notification?

    I am getting the ''"Some plugins used by this page are out of date"'' notification on every page with Flash.
    The version of Adobe Flash that I am using right now is v.10 - I don't want to update to v.11 'cause v.10 shows much better performance on my PC.
    How could I switch this notification off once and for all?

    You can set the plugins.hide_infobar_for_outdated_plugin pref to true on the about:config page.

  • How can we clone the Oracle database in new Oracle Home

    Hi,
    I would like to clone oracle database into new oracle home. How can we set it using OEM.
    I am using 10g grid control. Target db is on solaris
    Thanks
    Naveen

    after logging into target database, under maintenance tab, data movement header; ther is "clone database" option. When you click on it; you'll see :
    Clone Database uses RMAN to duplicate a database from:
    -- An open database in ARCHIVELOG mode, or
    -- An open database in NOARCHIVELOG mode (restart required), or
    -- A saved working directory from previous cloning
    Clone Database performs the following operations:
    -- Backup each database file and store it in a working directory
    -- Transfer each backup file from source to destination host
    -- Restore each backup file to existing destination Oracle Home
    -- Recover the cloned database with saved archived log files
    -- Open the cloned database with resetlogs
    It seems to be for cloning to a different host, but i guess you can chose the same host for source and destination. (I've never used cloning on em by the way :))
    But firstly, you should create a new oracle home, you can simply copy your oracle home with a new name (cp -R /oracle/app/oracle/product/10.2.0 /oracle/app/oracle/product/10.2.0.new) or make a new installation.
    I suggest you to do this cloning with CLI. You should take a full backup with RMAN, copy the oracle home, create a new initNEWSID.ora file and nomount the database, restore (or simply copy) controlfiles, restore database (with set newname commands), recover database, open resetlogs.
