Instance does not open, because of corrupted datafile

Hi
I am running 10gR2.
For a test I have corrupted the header of an test datafile of a non system tablespace when instance was closed.
Now when I started the instance it does not open with an alert entry
Errors in file c:\oracle\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\admin\orcl\bdump\orcl_dbw0_512.trc:
ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data file 11 - see DBWR trace file
ORA-01110: data file 11: 'C:\ORACLE\ORADATA\ORCL\DAMAGE_DATA.DBF'
ORA-27046: file size is not a multiple of logical block size
Now how to proceed?
When I tried to set the tablespace offline I got:
SQL> alter tablespace damage_data_ts offline;
alter tablespace damage_data_ts offline
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01109: database not open
Can I just drop the datafile ?
I forgot to include, that the datafile is the only file the tablespace got.
But even the dropping the tablespace giving error, saying the database is not open
SQL> DROP TABLESPACE damage_data_ts INCLUDING CONTENTS AND DATAFILES;
DROP TABLESPACE damage_data_ts INCLUDING CONTENTS AND DATAFILES
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01109: database not open
Thanks

Now I was able to drop the datafile with:
SQL> shutdown immediate;
ORA-01109: database not open
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL> startup mount;
ORACLE instance started.

    Numbers does not open with the main user after installing mountain lion. It works flawlessly when I use the second account on my mac. What got corrupted in the admin-account, something in the user-library? How can I fix it? I´m kinda desperate... (the same happens with the other iWork-Apps!)
    Looking forward to hearing from somebody with a littlemore expertise than me, Chris

    you can remove preferences files by navigating to the Preferences folder for your user as follows:
    0) Quit ALL iWork apps (Keynote, Pages and Numbers)
    1) from the Finder select the menu item "Go > Go To Folder…".  This will bring up a dialog:
    2) enter the path "~/Library/Preferences" (no double quotes)
    3) find the files:
    com.apple.iWork.Keynote.plist
    com.apple.iWork.Numbers.plist
    com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist
    and move these to the trash.  I would NOT empty until later.
    4) restart Numbers

    You should be able to Save as: iWork 08, but i don't know how it works on Mountain Lion. On my Snow Leopard the Save as window has a part looking like this
    Or you can send me the document if you are in a hurry and I save it as iwork 08 for you. Click on my blue name and you'll find my address.

  • Quicktime 10.4 does not open at all in yosemite

    After clicking on Quicktime 10.4 icon in applications folder, it does never open. Icon appears not on the dock at all.
    Please any idea on how can I solve this? how can I resintall it?
    Some aspects of you problem remain unclear. Are you saying that no "player window" opens, no "navigation window" opens, or the app itself does not open in the "Menu Bar" at all? Further, is the problem manifest itself globally or only in one user account? Nor is it clear if you are referring to the QT Player icon always being displayed in the dock or simply when/if the app is opened.
    For instance, it is normal for a player window not to appear if no source media file was selected/opened via the finder. On the other hand, the failure of a navigation window or the app itself to open may indicate a system, app, or PLIST file (if still used) corruption problem. In the latter case, I would normally recommend switching to a secondary or guest user account to see if the problem is global or local to your primary account. If local, then you could either isolate/fix the local issue and fix it (e.g., locating and deleting an associated PLIST file if still used); create a new "primary" account, transfer required resources from the old to the new user account, and then delete the problem account; or simply re-install the entire system.
    Unfortunately, under the latest version of Yosemite, the QT X Player is considered "essential" and the system, under normal circumstances, will not allow you to remove or delete the app any longer—probably because users in the past deleted the player on purpose or by accident on a wholesale basis and Apple does not provide downloads of the QT X Player independent of the operating systems with which they are associated forcing novice users to re-install their entire system or forcing more experienced users to re-extract the compatible player software for re-installation. Unfortunately, while it is still possible to re-extract the QT v10.4 Player from the installer package, the same system routines that prevent you from removing/deleting the player also prevent you from copying/replacing the current plater in the "Applications" folder.
    Basically, what you should/can do depends on the specific nature of your problem and how well versed you are with the system.

  • IPhoto on my MacBookPro does not open - shows a box "Aperture library needs to be upgraded". I do not have Aperture installed and I am not interested to do so.

    On my MacBookPro - After updating iPhoto 11 to version 9.3.1, it does not open and shows a box "Aperture library needs to be upgraded" with choices to update or Quit. If I quit it closes iPhoto - if I try to update it goes to the App Store and requires a purchase of Aperture - I do not want to purchase Aperture.

    If you tried the First Aid Tools without success, make a backup of the iPhoto Library and rebuild with iPhoto Library Manager as described by Terence Devlin:
    uprgraded to yosemite all good but iphoto crashes every time I attempt to upgrade the photo library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Firfox Does not open at all not even Profile Manager.

    Ok so as of i believ yesterday, Firefox does not open. I can click on the Firefox icon a million times and in my taskmanager it will show all the instances of firefox running, however, it does not open and i am forced to use IE (which i hate). I have looked through the trouble shooting guide and was recommended to create a new profile, and when i try to open the profile manager, it does the same thing, shows up in task manager but does not open the Profile Manager.
    Now i have uninstalled Firefox TWICE and even selected the checkmark which deleted all the setting and bookmarks the second time to see if that helped. But it does the same thing.
    Please HELP ME!! i can't express how mucvh i hate IE and will die if i have to continue using it. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!

    Solved. (or resolved)
    G'day. I'm visiting on my Firefox browser - Yay. Thought I'd update this. After I wrote this last night, (with IE browser) the confirmation e-mail's link wouldn't even work.
    I deleted the offending program. I used CC Cleaner to run through the computer. Still no go. I went to bed with AVG scanning everything.
    I woke to find AVG had done it's work, finding 2 problems and fixed. Still no access to mozilla.
    I shut down whole computer (intending to start in safe mode). Got distracted and missed the bootup prompt. Logged on anyway, so I'd have something to tell the 'help' line here.
    Woo hoo! I must have done something right, because here I am, via the link in last night's email.
    The offending program was via 'Ancestry . com'. I'm off to tell them now.
    I'm hoping this might assist someone else. Take care - Jo

  • Flash player 11.5 does not open background pictures of my website

    Flash player 11.5 does not open background pictures of my website scilang.com as well as many others'. 11.4 is ok.  However, 11.5 has really messed it up.
    I tried it with IE9, Chrome, Firefox. No. No with Flash Player 11.5. Why are such things happening all the time?

    I can't comment publicly on dates for future releases, sorry. 
    For users that have selected "Allow Adobe to Install Updates" during installation, they will automatically get the update as soon as it becomes available.  There is some lag in uptake in general (we're really only about halfway into the adoption curve for Flash Player 11.5), so the problem won't be resolved overnight.  If you have access to the source, you may want to update your content temporarily to work around the issue.  If it's just a generic slideshow, you might want to consider replacing it with an AS3-based alternative.  Lightroom distributes a nice flash-based slideshow, for instance.
    There are a couple actionscript-based workarounds you can implement in your content until the next Flash Player 11.5 maintenance release has been deployed to the general release audience.
    There's one workaround here:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4841531#4841531#4841531
    The root of the issue is that the onEnterFrame event isn't getting emitted by MovieClips that embed JPEGs in ActionScript 2 content.  This was an unfortunate side-effect of an unrelated graphics optimization.  We have tests that check that onEnterFrame is emitted, and that JPEGs are rendered, but not one where we confirm that a SWF embedding a JPEG emits an onEnterFrame event.  Because the change was isolated to AS2, we didn't see it in our manual URL testing either, as that testing tends to focus on the most popular sites on the web, which usually host newer AS3-based content.  We've added tests to cover this case to prevent it from breaking again in the future.
    Anyway, apologies again for the inconvenience.  Hopefully this information will help you workaround the problem until the next update goes out.

  • DNG open in library does not open in develop module

    Something that never happened to me before:
    A DNG image that is in my library already since 2007 , edited, keyworded and in a collection does not open in the Develop module.
    Screen stays black though the preview is visible and the photo in the filmstrip is selected.
    When choosing CTRL-E (Edit in Photoshop) is opens normally in CS5 as a DNG
    In LR when I make a virtual copy the image is visible (of the virtual copy) and I can edit it.
    I tried to export this picture as a catalogue but the problem is still there when I open this catalogue on my Laptop.
    In LR when I try to import the picture there is no problem though develop history lost of course.
    But develop changes are there , I can reset the photo.
    It also opens  as a Raw in PS CS 5 without a hitch.
    It looks like the develop history became corrupted of that one photo , I hope
    Frans

    I sincerely hope I will not stumble upon more pictures like this.
    Because I found this one by accident.
    And I don't see a way to check my whole catalogue for this error.

  • Itunes does not open at all

    When I click on the desktop icon for my itunes, it does not open. Instead a window opens that says, +The itunes application could not be opened. The required folder could not be found.+ My folder was not deleted. It is still on my computer. I can acess it, in my user account. But I can't open itunes anymore.

    Hi b noir, thanks for your reply. I did initially look at the itunes trouble shooting page and I tried to follow what they said to do for user specific trouble shooting. But I have no idea where to find this: ■C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes
    ■C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes
    So I can't do it if I can't find it on my machine. I'm assuming 'C' means disk C? and I found 'users' when I right clicked 'Explore'. Then I found my user name and opened it. Then I was lost because I cannot find AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes or AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes. So I was unable to go any farther. That's when I posted my problem here. Can you or anyone else help me farther? Unfortunately I need something more specific, then what itunes trouble shooting is prepared to give. I forgot to add that my pc is shared and my kids' itunes open just fine. So this is definitely a user specific problem! Is it possible that something I downloaded the other day, corrupted the library? I deleted the offending song, and re-started, but itunes still didn't open. Not that I expected it to work that easily but it was worth a try.

  • When logging in into yahoo mail after typing in password Firefox is adding something, login fails all the time. At yahoo mail Notepad does not work because it is impossible to close the list of items and they cover information, so I have to go to IE.

    When logging in into yahoo mail after typing in password Firefox is adding something, probably remembered password and login fails all the time. At yahoo mail Notepad does not work because it is impossible to close the list of items and they cover information, so I have to go to IE.

    Only when i go to a different browser (like IE) after i clear it , then all that shows up is the pages i visited in IE , that is what bugs me , why is IE browsing history sowing up in Firefox ??
    Basically , i can clear the history in Firefox , and then for a example , go to Craigslist , using IE7 (launching it from a complete different Icon , in other words at that time i never open Firefox) , then after closing out , or even leaving open as it does not seem to matter , i go into Firefox , and hit History , and there is every place i visited in IE7 , on my History in Firefox

  • HT1338 Mail does not open after software update?

    My MacBook just updated with OSX 10.6.8 buildK549.  Now my Mail does not open. I get a message that the mail version 4.5  1084/1065 is not compatible with the OSX.  There was a new mail icon in the apps file but it did not open. Any suggestions?
    How do I reinsatll Mail?
    Thanks

    It's giving you that message because the update changed Mail from version 4.5 to 4.6 and it's seeing the 4.5. The part of the update that was meant for Mail failed because it couldn't find Mail where it was looking for it.

  • I got a new Macbook pro in March and transferred all of my old files into the new macbook from my old one. But ever since then, my iPhoto just does not open up. It says 'error' every time I try to open it, but I am still able to attach the iPhotos saved

    I got a new Macbook pro in March and transferred all of my old files into the new macbook from my old one. But ever since then, my iPhoto just does not open up. It says 'error' every time I try to open it, but I am still able to attach the iPhotos saved to emails. Help! How do I get my iPhoto back?

    Thanks, Sig.
    The old computer is a 2.6 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
    The new one is a 2.3 GHz intel core i7
    In going over this, thanks to "tallking it out" with you, I did discover the Text Edit problem.  Because I've still been unable to get the new computer text size (fonts or whatever) to match the old computer, I did not notice that the curser is now different--the line midway down the curser has to be placed on the line I am working upon, otherwise the edits go elsewhere on the page.  Now, with a bit of difficulty, I am able to get Text Edit to work correctly.
    If you have any ideas as to why my menu bar and Text Edit type are still so slow, I'd love to have them. 
    (I went through the process you suggested earlier, re my Trackpad preferences, and found no improvement.)
