How to rename a site without accessing the Central Admin if there is a treshold...

SP2010 - I'm SCA of a site collection...
I need to rename a site, (site settings, title etc), but when  I rename and try to save, it says   "The
attempted operation is prohibited because it exceeds the list view threshold enforced by the administrator."
ok I understand the problem, but I don't have access to Central Admin and increase the Treshold or whatever.
I need to do that within the Site collection  - I've rights use Sandbox solution.
Please advise how to rename the site?  (LINK)

As Alex said, it is one of the biggest weaknesses in SharePoint.
You need to decide when and how you are going to reduce the size of the list.  And put a governance policy (written document that is vetted through management) in place that states that lists need to be below the default 5000 item limit. 
I DO NOT recommend increasing the limit, although I have seen companies do this.  All it leads to is the eventual crash of your farm and many, many more lists that then need to be paired down.
to fix your issue though, you could increase the limit, then export the list to excel, then decrease the limit back to default 5000 and then do your work in excel by parsing the list into however many you want, based on some criteria that you decide (date,
unit numbers, or what ever makes sense)
then import the excel files to new lists, after you have the new lists imported, business could test, then you could increase the limit one more time, so you can delete the original list.
and for renaming the site, if you don't want to do all the list work, you could increase the limit, and rename the site with set-spsite, assuming you're using host named site collections.  If you're using path based, you could export the site, then
create the site and all its subsites, and perform the import; which is one more reason why HNSC is the way to go.

  • How do I backup my iPhone on iCloud without accessing the settings on the actual device?

    Last night i dropped my iPhone 4s in some water and it will not turn on at all. In order to get a new handset, Apple have asked me to backup my phone on iCloud and then wipe it to be sent off... However, i've tried and it doesn't seem possible without accessing the iPhone settings which are actually on the iPhone. Is it possible to backup my broken handset without actually accessing the options on the device.
    Advice would be amazing as soon as possible as the man is coming to collect the phone tomorrow morning!

    Hello Asicopper,
    If the iCloud is not alredy setup on your iPhone then you cannot setup without access on your iPhone as it has to be done Manually entering your Apple Id and Password in iPhone Settings>iCloud and then you need to Turn On the Data that needs to be backed up on iCloud and also click on Backup now for the first time. But if you have ever synced your iPhone with iTunes on your computer then you can check on your computer if you have a backup taken there. You can check that by opening iTunes on your Computer in iTunes > Edit> Preferences> Device and under Device see if you have any backup. And there is "No" other way to backup your iPhone if it is completely Dead.

  • How do I copy photos from my Mac to my iPad without deleting the ones that are there?

    I understand how to sync photos from my iPhoto library to my iPad. I want to copy photos from my Mac to the iPad without syncing, because syncing deletes everything on the iPad that isn't included in my sync selections. In addition,I have several iPhoto libraries and want to copy photos from each of them to the iPad. A further issue is that apparently photos can be synced from only one computer to the iPad -- how would I copy photos from a different computer? (What happens when I buy a new Mac?) I am extremely experienced with Mac, iPhoto/Aperture, iPad, etc. A year or two ago I transferred 1000 photos to the iPad but I don't remember how, and it was probably done with my previous Mac. Now I just want to add some recent photos without deleting the ones that are there. Bottom line: is there a way to add photos to an iPad without syncing and losing what's there?

    You can still sync the photos and keep the photos that are already on the device. You have to include all of the albums or events in the pictures folder that you sync from. If you are using iPhoto, select that in the Sync Photos from drop down menu and then select all of the albums or events that you want to sync. Make sure to check Selected Albums, events, faces and automatically include (no events). Using that option will allow you to choose exactly which albums and events to sync.
    You have to remember that all photos must be included in every sync so you cannot sync photos from iPhoto today and then try to sync photos from another folder tomorrow, or you will erase all of the photos that were synced from iPhoto. You need to maintain one main Photos syncing folder for the photos that you want to transfer to the iPad. You can have subfolders within that one main folder and you can selectively sync those subfolders. You just have to place all of the photos that you want to sync into one main iPad syncing photos folder.
    There are WiFi transfer apps that allow you to transfer photos to the iPad without having to sync with iTunes. I use this one. This app (and others like it) will allow you to use multiple computers to transfer photos.

  • How can i transfer videos without losing the sound to my iPhone 3G?

    Hi
    I have bought my iPhone 3G yesterday. I have found out how to transfer music from iTunes however i can't transfer videos. I'm selecting the videos i want to transfer on the videos tab after i chose my iphone from the side menu and pressing apply. iTunes says that its syncing my iphone but it doesnt transfer the videos.
    Lately i have found out a function on the advanced menu for movies as "create iphone or ipod version". When i used that it transfered that video to my iPhone however the sound was completely lost besides that action takes too much time(around 10 mins for a 3 min video and i have a pretty strong computer).
    How can i transfer videos without losing the sound to my iPhone 3G?

    One thing I'd recommend is that you make sure the video/audio you're trying to transfer falls within the guidelines listed in the 'Video' section here:
    http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html
    What's most likely happening is that the file is not converted as such so when you try to transfer it, it's wanting to convert it but is unable to for any number of reasons.
    There's software out there that might make this easier for you but I can't recommend anything specifically.

  • I accidentally put a passcode lock on my iPhone and I forgot what I set for it, is there a way to take it off without accessing the phone? I have restored my phone but it doesn't work, is there anybody that could help me please?

    I accidentally put a passcode lock on my iPhone and I forgot what I set for it, is there a way to take it off without accessing the phone? I have restored my phone but it doesn't work, is there anybody that could help me please?

    You can't "accidentally" put a passcode on any iPhone...its a multi-step process. Further, restoring an iPhone will remove the passcode, as the passcode is not included in an iPhone backup.
    Are you sure you're talking about the phone passcode & not something else...like the "Restrictions" passcode?

  • How can I copy/paste without copying the formatting?

    How can I copy/paste without copying the formatting? For example, if I copy a sentence from a website and paste it on text editing program, it copies all the formatting as well. How can I turn that off?

    There is an app called "No Formatting" in the App Store. It is simple and works perfectly - it strips formatting from paste (Ctr-V). I needed it for Word and Excel, which don't have keyboard shortcuts for this. It can be toggled on and off from the Menu Bar.

  • TS1424 Only partial songs downloaded when I purchased an album. How do I fix this without having the buy the whole album again?

    Only partial songs downloaded when I purchased an album. How do I fix this without having the buy the whole album again?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

    COPING SCRIPT
    There are some Standard Sap Scripts in SAP. We cant directly execute them in scripts we have to use some T-codes and by giving some input to the required fields we can see the output printform.
    I will show one example. There are some Standard Sap Scripts such as MEDRUCK which is a standard Sap Script for Purchase Order and RVINVOICE01 for billing and so on...
    To see oupt of MEDRUCK go to T-code ME9F give purchase order number and execute select one number and click on dislplay messages button on application tool bar you can find the print form of MEDRUCK.
    You cannot change the Standard Sap Scripts but you can use Standard Sap Scripts and Copy them to userdefined Script and can make changes to them and replace standard Sap Script with usedefind script.
    Ex: Go to SE71,
    on menu bar u find Utilities->copy from Client. click on it u ll find new screen showing
    Form name:
    Source Clinet:
    Target Form:
    give Form name as usedefined form name EX: ZFORM1
    Source client as 000 and
    Target form as MEDRUCK.
    execute.
    Now, the standard from MEDRUCK is copyied to your form ZFORM1.
    NOW, go to SE71 and give form name as ZFORM1 and do some changes to the form such as adding logo any thing. save and Activate.
    Now, you have done changes to the Form ZFORM1 and u have to replace your form with standard SAP Script.
    Go to NACE Transaction.
    on Applications select EF for purchase order and click Output types button on application tool bar.
    now select NEU as output types dobule click on Processing Routines.
    now click on Change option on application tool bar and on right side u find MEDRUCK in form place replace MEDRUCK with ZFORM1 and SAVE.
    go back twice and now go to T-code ME9F give the purchase order number and execute and select one option and click on display messges button .
    you will find the changes that you have done in ZFORM1. so we cant chage the standard Sap Scripts by copying the Standard Sap Scripts we can chage and replace with our forms

    Hello! I'm out of the country and all my iWeb information is on my computer at home. Now I need to make changes on the webpage... how can i do that without using the computer i made the page on? Thank you!!

    iWeb uses the domain.sites2 files to store its assets.
    You'll find it here :
    ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/
    where ~ is your Home directory.
    If you take a computer with you, you have to store that file in the same location.
    It's not different from taking documents with you if you want to edit them.
    A solution is to remotely control your computer at home.
    TeamViewer, LogMeIn, Apple Remote Desktop or any VNC application you can use, like "Chicken of the VNC".

    how can i start aperture without retyping the serial number?

    Quit Aperture.
    Go to your Macintosh HD and open the folder "Library", then "Application Support", then "ProApps".
    Remove the File "ProAppsSystemID" to the Desktop, if it exist and restart Aperture.
    Reenter your serial number, hopefully for the last time.

  • How do I restart apex without restarting the database?

    As the title says... How do I restart apex without restarting the database?
    For the second time in as many weeks apex 3.0.1(?) has stopped working while the database (10gR2) hasn't missed a beat.
    How do I restart apex?
    How do I get it to restart automatically on failure.
    How do I receive failure notification messages.
    How do I diagnose the cause of the failure.
    We were looking at using apex in a production environment but the prospect of unplanned restarts of production databases every week is a little daunting.

    David,
    >> We're not using oracle http server as it's a 64 bit version so yes the whole thing is running within the database.
    1) So your Web server is the XDB HTTP protocol server and embedded PL/SQL gateway (basically, the database's embedded Web server)? Is this 11g? If so, what platform?
    2) Are there any reported issues in the database alert log?
    3) When you check the status of the database listener, does it show services running for this specific port (default 8080, I guess)?
    4) If you normally go to http://server:port/apex, when this situation occurs, what happens when you try and go to http://server:port?
