Limitations URL name new storage account

Hello,
When trying to create a new storage account, if I use the word "online" in the name, I always get feedback that the storage account is already in use.
So fdzskhqonlinesdf and dsfjklonlinejlkdsf and onlineSQDFJKL are all in use... 
Is this a limitation of Azure Storage that the word "online" cannot be used in the storage name? If so, are there any other limitations wrt the naming of the storage accounts?
Kind regards,
Robbie De Sutter

You're correct. Word "online" can't be used in the storage name. There's a list of prohibitive words/phrases which can't be used in resource names in Windows Azure (curse words, online, gambling etc.). However this list is not public and I don't think Windows
Azure team will ever make this list public.
Hope this helps.

  • Hive editor still thinks the storage account it should try to connect to is one I deleted several hours ago

    Hi --
    I had an HDI cluster set up and mapped to a specific storage account.  I deleted that HDI cluster and the storage account, created new HDI cluster and storage account and container.  But, when I try to submit a HIVE query via powershell or directly
    via the Hive editor in the Azure mgmt. console, it fails, and if I go to file browser, it shows the old storage account.  The only way I could get data even uploaded to the blob storage is by specifying the storage account and container name:
    $myCluster = Get-AzureHDInsightCluster -Name $clusterName
    $storageAccountName = $myCluster.DefaultStorageAccount.StorageAccountName.Replace(".blob.core.windows.net", "")
    $containerName = $myCluster.DefaultStorageAccount.StorageContainerName
    didn't work, but this did:
    $myCluster = Get-AzureHDInsightCluster -Name $clusterName
    $storageAccountName = "casieohdi"
    $containerName  = "casieohdi"
    How can I drop the old (now deleted) container within the hive editor, and associate it instead to the new container?
    Thanks,
    Casie

    Thanks for the quick reply! 
    1. yes.
    2. Did that, it shows the new storage account in one spot, but what looks like the old one in two other spots:
    Correct:
    <property>
        <name>fs.defaultFS</name>
        <value>wasb://[email protected]</value>
        <description>The name of the default file system. 
    Either the
      literal string "local" or a host:port for NDFS.</description>
      </property>
    Looks maybe incorrect:
    <property>

        <value>. . . </value>

  • Windows Azure Storage Account Location change

    Hi Experts,
    I have deployed my Web site on Windows azure. I have created Windows Azure Storage Account. By mistakely i have set the location wrong. How can we change the location of Windows storage account? 
    Thanks!

    Hello CRM Inn,
    I am sorry to know that you have chosen an incorrect location and would like to change the location for your storage account. Unfortunately, there is no option available to change the storage location for an existing storage account.
    Your only option would be to create a new storage account, migrate data to the new storage account and delete the existing one. You can refer to this article that will give you information on migrating data from one account to another:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsazurestorage/archive/2012/06/12/introducing-asynchronous-cross-account-copy-blob.aspx
    I also suggest that you create affinity groups. By creating affinity groups you can be sure that all your related services are under the same data center. You can refer to this article to learn about Affinity groups:

  • Can I creat an new iCloud account and make it the primary one for my backups and buy extra iCloud storage for it?  Thank you

    Can I creat an new iCloud account and make it the primary one for my backups and buy extra iCloud storage for it?  Thank you

    Hey Hindfromlondon,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.  Since you are posting here, I take it you already have an Apple ID.  
    You can setup that Apple ID to work with iCloud.  See:
    Set up your Apple ID for iCloud and iTunes - Apple Support
    And you usually want to stick with one Apple ID as having multiples can cause confusion (especially with purchases).
    Frequently asked questions about Apple ID - Apple Support
    What is an Apple ID?
    An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services. You don't have to create a new account for each service—just use your Apple ID.
    For a complete list of all of the places you can use an Apple ID, see Where do I use an Apple ID.
    and further down:
    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs. 
    If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.

  • How can I add my previous icloud storage from my old iTunes ID to my new icloud  account

    how can I add my previous icloud storage from my old iTunes ID to my new icloud  account,

    "So, is it possible to sync/merge/move/share those purchased apps from the old apple-ID to a new apple-ID?"

    Apps will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased, and will always have to be updated using that account.

  • Help - iMac Storage/New user account question

    Ok - so I've assumed that my user account was corrupt as Ive been having problems with Safari crashing/freezing the whole of my Mac, but thats another storey.
    So i decided to create a new user account to delete the old one. I copied the following folders from my original user account into the shared folder first of all:
    Pictures
    Music
    Movies
    Documents
    I've now deleted the old account and copied these folders from Shared into my new user account - actually Ive just left Music, Pictures & Movies in shared and am going to point the relevant apps such as iTunes to the shared folder.
    The problem I have, is that I've lost over 100gb of storage somewhere on the Mac and I can't see where!
    As far as I can see, I've deleted everything so that there is only one copy now and have emptied the Trash folder.
    Anybody got any suggestions - perhaps a hidden folder somewhere?
    Thanks

    >>... I can't seem to see it anywhere anyway...
    It would be a folder or disk image (.dmg) in /Users, along with your current account home.

  • Brand new user account, same old name

    I've been having some quirky behavior with the main account on my Powerbook. Most recently I purchased and installed Speed Download, only to find that it unexpectedly quits after just a few minutes of an FTP download. I can run it in a new account without incident. Reinstalling does not solve this problem.
    But this is just the most recent issue, there is a lot of other strange behavior that I'd like to try solving with a new user account before I go ahead with a re-install of the OS. But I don't want trouble with permissions, etc. so my plan is this:
    1) Backup old user account (let's call it ABC).
    2) Create new admin account called XYZ.
    3) Log into XYZ and delete ABC account
    4) Rename XYZ back to ABC
    5) Rebuild ABC from the backup, being careful to only import Library items I really need (like the Mail.app data) and let the rest be created from scratch.
    The idea is that the user name will be the same, so there will be no permission issues. The contents of the Users/ABC/Library directory will be mostly new and uncluttered except for those items that I hand-pick from the backup.
    Please only comment on this migration plan, I don't need help with Speed Download. This particular issue is only the straw that broke the camel's back, there is a lot of other quirky behavior that I am eager to get sorted out as well.
    Any insight will be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,

    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Ian,
    I'm not sure if this will work.
    The Mac OS (like all unix OS) is saving a user ID which is a number stored in the system, changing the name of the user will not help because your ID will be different than the old ID.
    One thing I can think about is if you have another Mac you can use the migration assistant to move your data to it and back after deleting the old account.
    One other option will be to delete your account without deletion of the files (files are stored under deleted users directory), create a new one and copy all needed data to the new account.
    I hope this helps you,
    Ziv

  • Setting up a new developer account has wrong name listed in personal information with no option to edit

    In the process of setting up a new developer account, getting to step #2 & reviewing the personal information, the first & last name listed for my Apple ID is incorrect, however it is correct on the Apple ID settings page, as well as all of my iTunes billing information.

  • HT1918 New user account on same computer, signed in with apple ID, took over my name in iMessage

    On my computer I added a new user account (which is just a different account that I use), and because the setup involved signing in with an apple ID, I used my existing one.
    Now that the new user account has been associated with my old apple ID, basically the name on the new user account has overtaken all my old user accounts, even though I didn't specify that it should do this. After trying multiple methods (via iMessage, System Preferences, iCloud, Apple Support), I've been unable to change my iMessage name back to what it was even on my old user accounts.
    Any ideas? Again, I've been to all the following places with no success:
    - iMessage Preferences / account details
    - Restarting system
    - Changing id on new user account back to previous via System prefs
    - Updating Apple ID via 'Manage Apple ID' area
    - iTunes Store account
    - iCloud.com
    Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions.

  • New User Account Name fixed crashing photoshop cs4 with Snow Leopard

    I don't understand why, but creating a new user account fixed the SL/photoshop CS4 crashing issue. I don't have all my settings and shortcuts etc., so its for photoshop only until apple/adobe comes up with a fix.

    Most likely items are:
    Preferences
    Fonts
    Caches
    New user accounts are a great way to isolate user issues from systematic ones.
    You can look above for hints as to where the problem(s) lie.

  • How do I set up a new iCloud account separate for my iphone and ipad?

    I have an old iCloud account for my iphone and when I bought an ipad last year I used the same iCloud account. I now have no storage left and my iphone won't back up. I want to upgrade my iphone soon but don't want to lose all my photos, contacts, etc.
    I have spent the last hour trying to create a new iCloud account so I have two separate ones for my iphone and iCloud, to no avail. Apple don't seem to have any information I submit and I am just going round in circles updating passwords! And re-enters new account details. I haven't received an email registering my new iCloud account.
    Can anyone help! Can I create two iCloud accounts? Why can't i! Even though I am using two separate email addresses.

    If it's stuck on verifying it's because she never responded to the verification email that Apple should have sent to the primary email address she used for the Apple ID she set it up with.  She should check her inbox and spam/junk folder for this email and click on the Verify Now link to verify the account.  If the email isn't there, she can go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under her Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.
    Or, you can just delete the account (which is a misnomer since until verified the account isn't really created).

  • ITunes does not launch with new User Account (Vista)

    One of my limited user accounts on Windows Vista because corrupt, so I created a new limited User Account and copied ALL of the files from the old to new.
    Now, when I try to launch itunes on the new user account, it will not open at all. Itunes works on my administrative account, with no problem.
    Can someone tell me the most pain-free way to resolve this issue. And, whatever solution, will I be at risk of losing my itunes libraries?
    Thank you in advance.

    Hiya. Delayed again. Browsers being cranky. (I blame the aftershocks.)
    It's actually plausible that it was installed in there (by doing a run as administrator on the installer itunes64setup.exe, perhaps). Because that suggests a possible cause for these continual permissions-related problems.
    A lot of what you're seeing is consistent with damaged ACLs (access control lists) on files, folders and registry keys. Although it's a lot rarer than it used to be, one of the ways you could get borked ACLs was if a program (like iTunes or QuickTime) was installed in one user account, and then the user account it had been installed in was deleted (or otherwise rendered unusable).
    We don't know which particular permissions are stuffed up here. But there's a shotgun approach to fixing them which used to work okay, although it's a bit fiddlier to do on a 64-bit system than a 32-bit system.
    I'd strongly recommend setting up a system restore point prior to doing this, so you can revert if things turn to custard.
    The basic technique you follow is from the following blog entry *with one important modification.*
    [Solving setup errors by using the SubInACL tool to repair file and registry permissions|http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2006/09/04/solving-setup-e rrors-by-using-the-subinacl-tool-to-repair-file-and-registry-permissions.aspx]
    The modification is that when you're editing the file to replace YOURUSERNAME with the name of the account, edit the first line so that %ProgramFiles% instead says %ProgramFiles(x86)% and after the line that reads:
    *subinacl /subdirectories %programfiles%\ /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f /grant=users=e >> %temp%\subinacl_output.txt*
    ... add another line saying:
    *subinacl /subdirectories %programfiles(x86)%\ /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f /grant=users=e >> %temp%\subinacl_output.txt*
    (The first is to make sure the commands see the subinacl, because it installs in \Program Files (x86)\ on 64-bit systems, and the second alteration is to make sure that the permissions for the 32-bit program files are fixed too.
    After doing that (it'll take a while to run), can itunes launch normally in the new account?

  • Creating a new user account and curious log in behavior...

    First off I'd just like to apologize if that is not the correct place to be posting this, but after looking around I don't see a perfect fit for this topic anywhere, so I figured here should be okay. Also I want to apologize if this turns out to be a rather lengthy post, I just want to ensure that I supply all info...
    Okay, so about a month ago I recognized that my current user account is slowly but surely taking longer and longer to "boot up" after I put in my password and tell it to log in. What usually happens is that I click log in, the background image and taskbar almost immediately pop up but nothing else (finder icons, dock, and the multiple icons in the taskbar which include the airport signal, user name, bluetooth status, battery strength, volume, and my iChat and Adium status) the only things to immediately "activate" in the taskbar are the clock and spotlight.
    As of late when I log in something especially strange is happening in that after the 5 or so minutes it takes the dock, rest of taskbar, and finder icons to appear my PB will play the default Apple sound of me emptying trash, rather there is anything actually in the trash or not. It dosen't delete the objects in the trash (if any, as I usually keep it empty), just simply plays the sound. I'm not sure if it playing this sound ties in any with the lagging log in times, I just wanted to mention it as the log in times have slowed down considerably since this sound started.
    Bottom line given that there is no way that I know of fixing this problem, I am planning to simply create a new user account. Actually I have already created the new account (by the way, it logs in literally instantaneously, and does not make the strange trash being emptied sound) but was looking for info on how to get all of my files from one account to the other. Unfortunately for me everytime that I install a program and the dialog box pops up asking if you want to install it on all user accounts or just the current one I always click "just the current one" (please don't ask why, as there is seriously no reasoning to this at all...), so is there a way to transfer my current programs from one user account to the other without reinstalling??? It's actually not that many programs I'm talking about here (Shapeshifter, Xounds, XFactor, AIM, Adium, Cocktail, Toast, Popcorn, iPod Rip, and Office), I just figured that if I can simply transfer rather than reinstalling them, it would be a lot easier.
    However my 2 primary concerns are my iTunes and iPhoto libraries (3330 songs and 4182 pcitures respectively), considering that I've spent literally hours making countless playlist in iTunes, and countless folders, slideshows, and books in iPhoto, if I was to lose all this it would truly be a mess.
    I know I'm probably making a big deal out of this and it's an extremely easy and basic process, please just pardon this still pretty new Mac user and help me out:) Also if anybody else has experienced the log in slow down or strange trash being emptied sound I would be glad to hear your experiences.
    Thanks in advance!!!

    Hi Mervin,
    Bottom line given that there is no way that I know of fixing this problem, I am planning to simply create a new user account.
    You can do that (but I wouldn't) this KB article outlines how:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=155373
    Basically you will copy the folders within your old home to replace the folders in the new home. Here is a list of specific folders if you decide to do that but a better solution would be to sort your existing user.
    Here where your important data is stored ("~" stands for "Home"):
    Your Data in Documents
    ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
    ~/Library/Application Support/iCal(copy the whole folder)
    Also in ~ / Library/ Application Support (copy whatever else you need)
    ~ /Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
    ~/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist * This is a very important file which contains all email account settings and general mail preferences.
    ~ / Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
    ~ / Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
    ~ / Library/iMovie (copy the whole folder)
    ~/ Pictures/iPhoto Library
    If you want cookies:
    ~/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
    ~/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
    so is there a way to transfer my current programs from one user account to the other without reinstalling???
    As for applications, they should all be in your Application folder(there is only one) and available to ALL users, unless you have put "limitations" or "parental controls" on the account.
    Now to the best course of action:
    To find the issue affecting your existing user account, follow these steps:
    Log back into your normal user account:
    1. Navigate to ~(yourhome/library/fonts - drag this folder to the desktop.
         • Restart and test your applications.
         • If they work start adding the fonts back few at a time.
    ( Likely suspects are Time RO & Helvetica Fractions, also if you do not use Classic you can trash the classic fonts.)
    2. Check Preferences Thoroughly;
         • Navigate to ~(yourhome/library/preferences drag this folder to the desktop.
         • Restart and test your applications.
         • If this works, save the old preferences folder somewhere else or on disk, name it "old prefs" .
    ** Note: A very important file is the "com.apple.Mail.plist" preference file located in the Preferences folder which contains all email account settings and general mail preferences (hold this one and replace if your problem is not with Mail).
    You'll have to go through some of your System Preferences and apps to set the preferences back to how you like them. (Or if you have the time and inclination, "cherry pick" through until you find the problem one or two.)
    3. Check Permissions Inside Home Folder
       • Navigate to yourhome/library.
       • Get Info (Command - i) on folders for apps you are having problems with.
       • Open the "Ownership & permissions" disclosure triangle.
       • Make sure you are the owner, with "read and write" access.
    • Click on "apply to all"
       • If this is correct, open the "Applications Support" folder and do the same      procedure (Command+I) for the folders with the names of the applications you are      having trouble with.
    Note:
    The reason to check this is because repairing permissions with Disk Utility doesn't touch permissions inside your home folder.
    If the isssue persists navigate to ~/library/caches and drag this folder to the trash, then log out and back or restart. There is no need to replace this folder.
    Good luck, let us know.
