"Links" on one machine "Favorites Bar" on another

I have two Win8.1 x64 IE11 machines. (Not the same kind of machine, but the presently installed system software environments are very similar.) They are syncing my IE favorites via Microsoft Account. One calls the users\me\favorites folder where it stores
Favorites Bar shortcuts "Favorites Bar". The other machine calls the exact same functional thing "Links". I've even tried deleting both folders with IE not running on either machine. Restart IE on one or the other, enable Favorite Bar toolbar
and the disparately named folders come right back on both machines.
Any idea why this would be and how I get them to agree what to call it? I'm suspecting some reg key somewhere.
(I first notice this because I made the grave mistake of trying iCloud Sync. This *really* sent iCloud Sync into a ditch. What a hash that made of virtually everything it touched in IE, Outlook, Chrome, the stuff on my Mac, you name it. Turned that
off and cleaned up the mess and am now leaving it off. The folks at Apple who wrote that obviously only ever had one PC and only ever ran one browser on it and didn't teach the Mac about their Google accounts or run Chrome.)
<rant>It's stuff like this, and the frequent runaway scripts/crashed windows/"problem with web page"/problems rendering and interacting with way too many sites that have me just about to change my default browser to Chrome.
It just works. IE used to. Not any more. It's become a satire of itself almost as though it finally had to live all the way down to the formerly unwarranted bad rap a lot of people have been giving it. And I've been loyal to IE since v. 1. Little wonder
they are scrapping it and looking for new branding besides. Scary that this is easier than just fixing the code. What a furball that code must be at this point.</rant>

When both the special folders are deleted on two machines syncing, one gets recreated called "C:\Users\myuser\Favorites\Links" and the other one on the other machine gets recreated called "C:\Users\myuser\Favorites\Favorites Bar" Both
have the object name "C:\Users\myuser\Favorites\Links". Despite one of them showing up as ...\Favorites Bar. Why wouldn't they get created with the same file system name?
In the test I *just* did, I renamed the "Links" version to "Favorites Bar". It promptly created a "Links" folder again. On the other machine, it now also has both an empty "...\Links" folder and a "...\Favorites
Bar" folder with the synced shortcuts. But the IE on both now shows an empty Favorites Bar toolbar. Sigh.
So what I tried, and what seemed to work, is turning Sync off for the One Drive|Other Settings|Web Browser on both machines, then deleting all the Favorites Bar and Links folders on both with no IE instances running. Start IE on both machines. Each creates
a "...\Favorites Bar" folder, not hidden, not System, but Object Name "...\Links". Turn back on syncing and all appears to work and now they agree on the file system name.
Conclusions/data points:
1) If IE creates the Links special folder it names it "...\Favorites Bar" even though it's a Links special folder, if Sync creates the Links special folder it names it "...\Links".
2) IE can use either file system name for the same purpose, presumably because under the covers they are both the Links special objects.
3) Don't count on this folder being set System or hidden. Maybe it's supposed to be, but that's not how IE created them just now.
4) While syncing, setting one to hidden and all its object to hidden not only results in an empty Favorites Bar, it results in the other machine having an empty Links special folder file system named ..\Links. I haven't tried setting one to System. Too much
fun for one night.

Click on link in one portlet and open in another portlet

how do you click on link in one portlet and open in another portlet?

Hrmm... This is a IBM Question..
Officially this is a meaningless buzzword promoted by IBM. Portals are some sort of Servlet but IBM incapable of explaining how they differ from ordinary Servlets. Some speculate they are used to present a webpage with many services on it such as a search engine, and news that come from diverse sources. The user is able to dynamically configure the contents and layout of the page much like Netscape home pages
I don't understand what yhour asking..
I am assuming you want to call another servlet (portlet)? That would be absurd to do .. You let the HTTP request and XML file to deal with the response of the portlet

Create text on one machine and import to another

I have a question re: workflow using more than 1 machine with FCP 5.0.
Can I create text files on one FCP machine and then import to another?
Can anyone please advise to what the workflow might be? For eample, where and what media files would need to move to have the text appear properly in the project on Machine #2.
I hope this is clear. Thanks in advance for the advice.
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.1)

Since the grump is on a self imposed holiday ....
While waiting for someone to tell you how to do this, you could simply do it.
create a text file. Pay attention to FCPs scratch and default file locations, go there and look for a file that might be useful, copy it to your second computer in the same relative location and see if it works. If so, you have something to tell us. If not, try again.
Here's your chance to be a pioneer, a leader. Carpe Diem!

"no photo" on one machine, all there on another

I have iphoto 7.1.5 on two machines. My main machine suddenly launches an empty iphoto window that says"no photos" at the bottom. This is very scary since it should show 15,000+. But if I copy this now "empty" iphoto library to another machine also running 7.1.5, it launches and displays perfectly.
My daughter unplugged the main mac while it was doing a software update and that's when this all started. So I made sure the iphoto was up to date on the main machine but it still won't display any photos there. Thank God I have them backed up on an external HD but I can't get them to work on the main machine. What should i do?

try launching iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) key and repointing iPhoto to the iPhoto library - it may have created a new library that is empty and you may be looking at that
Note that double clicking on an iPhoto library does not launch that library - it launches iPhoto which uses the library it last opened - which may or may not be the one you double clicked on

Convert data link between one query's group and another querys group to SQL

Hi
I have a report where there are 2 query Groups. These 2 query groups r linked by data link. How do i combine these queries to One query so i can use it as a SQL query.
Thanks

Hi,
Assume that we have two queries Q1 and Q2 and the common column between the two queries is "comn".
Now we can convert the datalink into SQL as follows:-
SELECT *
FROM
(Query for Q1)a,
(Query for Q2)b
WHERE a.comn=b.comn(+)
Note: "a" and "b" are alias names for Q1 and Q2.

DVD-R plays on one machine but not on another

I have an HDD-DVD recorder, which can burn DVD-R disks. The disks will then play in my 12" PB, but won't play in my iMac - although they did at one time. Putting the disk in results in a repetitive clicking and whirring but the disk does not appear on the Desktop of the iMac, and Disk Utility will not recognise it. Commercial DVDs are recognised OK.
Both machines are running the same version of OS.
Thanks!

Not sure, maybe if you can share the form, I can have a look at it.

Can a movie digital copy download on one machine be downloaded onto another with the same iTunes account at no cost?

just went through my entire blu-ray library and more than half of them had a digital copy. Is it possible that since you need to sign in with your itunes account in order to redeem the code to download be considered a purchase? Being that iTunes in the cloud is available, i should be able to log in with the same account on my macbook pro and download the movie so that it is on my backup machine. In this case i have them all backed up to my iMac which streams to my apple tv.

A computer can sync a dozen iPods and/or iPhones (just saying).
However, You can't use more than one computer for that iPhone.

Error installing ODB+OBIEE in one machine and OWB in another one

Using Link from one region as parameter to another region on the same page

I have a page with two regions.
Region 1 has a list of items that are dispalyed as links
Clicking on a specific item I need to have a calendar report displayed using the value of the link for eg
Region 1 Region 2
abc Calendar based on the link selected in region1
def
xyz
How is this possible

I spent quite a few hours after this was posted trying to figure it out and I did.
Select Mailbox > Export Mailbox. This asks you a location to export the mailboxes to. It just uploads the exported mailboxes into Dropbox.
Then change the User that I want to import the mailboxes into. Select Import and select the location of where you placed the folder in Dropbox. This then imports the mailbox into a folder called Import. You then drag and drop the copied mailboxes from the Import folder to the folder in the structure you have. If you decide to delete the folders from the import folder list, do this. You can also delete the copied folders from Dropbox if you wish.
Took a while, but I got there and I'm happy now....

Setting up IPad on one machine for use on another

Next week my wife and I celebrate our Ruby aniversary and I am surprising her with an IPad2 on to which I hope to put a video-card that my Daughter in Law has compiled and edited. That last bit is relatively easy, the hard bit is getting the Ipad synched with my wife's three other apple devices without her knowing. For the record she has a MacPro, a Macbookpro and an IPhone (3GS) all of which are in use at some time during the day. The 'normal' way is to attach the Ipad to the user's machine and to set it up for them, but if I do that then I know that she will see a confirmation mail from Apple - she rarely leaves her machines outside of
How do I do this so that she won't know until she opens the IPad box?
I too have three Apple devices - Ipad2, Macbookpro and IPhone (4).
So, for example, can I synch and upgrade the IOS on my macbookpro then change the identity just before I give it to her or is there some other way. BTW we both have me.com accounts too - quite an orchard what! I would like to get it set up and to test that the video runs ASAP, so your help and guidance would be cratefully received.

Yes. Let the user configure on the user's machine and not on a different computer.

HelloWorld Client on one machine calling EJB on another

Hello,
I got a very simple HelloWorld example working on my own machine using JBoss 3.0. The usual first example. I now want to be able to execute a client on my machine that connects to EJBs on a Linux machine that also runs JBoss 3.0.
I have my two jar files HelloClient.jar with my client classes and interfaces. My HelloJAR.jar with my DD and jboss.xml etc.
This is my client class with the ip of the linux machine that has my HelloJAR.jar file in the /server/default/deploy directory.
Hashtable prop = new Hashtable();
          prop.put ("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs","org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");
          prop.put ("java.naming.provider.url","jnp://172.16.220.160:1099");
          prop.put ("java.naming.factory.initial","org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
          try
               Context ctx = new InitialContext(prop);
               Object obj = ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/ejb/helloworld/HelloWorld");
               HelloWorldHome home = (HelloWorldHome)javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(obj, HelloWorldHome.class);
               HelloWorld helloWorld = home.create();
               String str = helloWorld.sayHelloEJB("JOYCE is COOL");
               System.out.println(str);
               helloWorld.remove();
          catch(Exception e)
               e.printStackTrace();
I have placed all jars on the classpath on the linux machine. I have the HelloJAR.jar in the deploy directory on the linxu machine also. When I execute my client on my windows machine I get a NullPointerException on line 25 which is the line
               HelloWorld helloWorld = home.create();
Can someone put me ont he right track?
Thanks
Joyce

How do I properly transfer CS from one machine to another

I want to remove my apps and license from one machine and move to another. I uninstalled CC, but the apps are still on the machine and functioning? Will I be able to move to a new machine without trouble?

There might not be a need to depending on your preferences. You are allowed to have two working installations, so you could keep the original as a backup if you like. If not, then you need to sign out of the original thru the manager. As far as getting the software on a new machine, you need to install them using installation files the same way you installed originally... moving software from one machine to another does not work.

How do I keep my edits in favorites bar?

My favorites bar keeps reverting to an old set of bookmarks after I edit it. Might happen any time. Takes new bookmarks but keeps showing those I deleted from the f bar. ??? For example, after I edit the f bar to show just the bookmarks I go to most often -- eg, Google or a work webpage -- it will hold those edits for a while, even thru shut downs and restarts, but then suddenly will show all the old bookmarks I'd deleted before. Any new bookmarks I added to the f bar show up at the end. Doesn't matter if I delete the oldies by dragging them off the bar, or opening 'edit bookmarks' from the bookmarks menu. Surprisingly aggravating! thanks all.

Maybe you have the same "misunderstanding" as I had: (After successful sync) the links from the OSX Favorite Bar now show up in "Bookmarks - Favorites" (top entry in the list, quoted with a star) AND inside the window when opening a new tab.
This was different in a former iOS, I'm positive!

SSIS package works on one machine and gives conversion error on other machine

Hi All,
I have 150 + packages, I am fetching data from Oracle (11g) and loading in SQL Server. My problem is all the packages works fine on one machine whereas some of the packages give error "cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode string data types"
on other machine. Please note I have implemented data conversion in all the relevant packages and I have used SSDT for the migration.
My question is why the packages are working on one machine and not on another machine? How can I fix the issue without changing the packages (as it works on one machine) and where should I look for the problem?
Thank you for your help!!

One more observation, the machine on which all the packages are working reads char, varchar, nvarchar and nchar data type from source as DT_WSTR whereas on other machine it reads as DT_STR and DT_WSTR.
Can you check the datatyype mapping definition file under
<installationdrive>\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DTS\MappingFiles
and see if two systems have any difference in file contents for Oracle to SSIS mapping?

When I open Internet Explorer 10 I can't get the favorites bar to show favorites.

When I open Internet Explorer 10 I can't get the favorites bar to show my favorites. I've gone to "view" > toolbars and clicked on favorites bar but it won't show my favorites in the favorite bar. This problem only started
a couple of days ago. Before then the favorites bar always showed with my favorite.

Hi,
Do you mean the favorites items don't show up in favorites bar or even the favorites bar
doesn't shown up in IE?
I suggest you check whether the favorites link existing in the favorites bar folder, you can click the
in the up right corner, then expand folder "Favirites Bar", or manually check folder C:\Uses\username\Favorites\Favorites Bar
Or create new favorite item, then check if it works.
You can also try to launch IE in no add-on mode, then check the issue again, if problem disappears in this mode, then we can narrow down to find the culprit, launch IE by running
%ProgramFiles%\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe -extoff
