Log file consumed all drive space; will not commit after adding space

SQL 2008 - Have a drive that is 250GB that holds both the database and log files for a given database; nothing else is on the drive. The database file is ~2GB in size and the log file is ~248GB, filling up the entire drive. I have had
issues in the past where there was not enough free space for the data in the log files to commit to the database file. Since this is a virtual machine I increased the drive to 550GB to give it enough overhead to commit data, and restarted SQL.
The log file data still did not commit. I took a full backup and also tried to shrink the database. Now the database file is ~1GB and the log has grown to ~286GB. Please advise and note I am a systems administrator and not a DBA by trade.

Hi,
I am quite sure your database recovery model is full and you have not taken Transaction log backup, Have you ?
I also doubt you have enough space to take log backup. If you can please take log backup, may be twice to truncate logs and then shrink log file. Only transaction log backup truncates the log ( almost every time unless some long running transaction
is holding the log) and makes it reusable so that either it can be shrinked or reused.
If it is UAT you can change recovery model of database to simple and then shrink the logs. After that change recovery model to full and take full backup of database.
PS: Schedule regular log backup for your databases in full recovery model

When I updated my MAC I lost all my movies from iTunes. They are still on my hard drive but will not reappear after I reset my preference in advance section. How do I fix it?

Hard Drive Tray will not fit after attaching hard drive

(From Davin Oishi)
Issue: After installing the hard drive onto the hard drive tray, the tray will not longer fit into the Smart Storage hard disk drive slot.
Using hard drive tray screws from the legacy NSS2000, NSS3000, NSS4000, or NSS6000 may encounter this issue.
Resolution: Be sure to use the hard drive screws that are supplied with your Smart Storage device. Smart Storage ships with screws for both 3.5" SATA drives and 2.5" SATA drives.

Dreamweaver will not load after adding too big a site

So i wanted to load my entire projects folder into one giant
project, i thought this would help in keep track of items using
common includes. well, dreamweaver crashed on building cache, and
now i can't re-open it.
i thought if i could remove the sites list that will allow
dreamweaver to re-start. can anyone help me to do that?

> *BUMP*
you didn't give an OS or dw version.
as a guess, on cs3 and windows xp it would be around here:
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application
Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver
9\Configuration\SiteCache
delete the xxx.dws file with that site's name.
note- when you restart dw- it will then try to rebuild the
site cache.
If there is a corrupt file IN this local site folder that's
causing the
folder- it will bung up again.
so- suggestion: rename the local site folder on the hard
drive before doing
this. dw will give an error message that it can't find the
site folder. but
it will start up.
second suggestion:
corrupt site cache files can result from having the large
original files
like .psd and .png and .fla files in the site folder.

Will not boot after adding RAM?

I just added another 512mb chip to my PB G4 upper slot. After adding the RAM, my PB will not boot/ load the OS. When I press the power button, the HD (i think) begins to run, but stops after about 2 seconds. I can't get it to do anything else. Please help.

Have you taken the new RAM stick out yet?
Powerbooks can pretty picky when it comes to RAM.

Driver for Officejet 4500 Wireless all-in-one will not install after upgrading to Windows 8.1

Upgraded to Windows 8.1 on Pavilion g6. Officejet 4500 Wireless all-in-one still prints but won't scan. Downloaded full feature driver. Installation quit giving error message 'file cannot be found'. Tried 'chat' sessions with no resolution
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello bob5e,
I am sorry to hear that you are unable to install successfully on your Windows 8.1 with your Officejet 4500 Wireless. I can see that the installation quits on you, giving you an error message. I am going to recommend trying a couple of things to hopefully make the installation successful.
1. First of all, try installing by using The Printer Install Wizard for Windows which finds the correct driver for your unit and installs it.
2. If that does not work, please try this next troubleshooting document step by step.

Illustrator files containing graphs corrupt and will not open after saving

I have created a series of graphs in illustrator and after saving when I try to reopen them, I get the following error message:
Can't open the illustration. The illustration contains an illegal operand. Offending operator: 1#INF
This happens whatever format the file is saved in.
I am using CC.
Any ideas why and how to prevent it happening in the future?

vnqaa,
If you are saving elsewhere than your own harddisk, that may be the cause. Otherwise, something else has obviously corrupted the files, possibly related to graphs.
One thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way.
Here is a website where you can see whether it can rescue the file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,
http://www.recoverytoolbox.com/buy_illustrator.html
and another similar website,
http://markzware.com/adobe-software/fix-illustrator-file-unknown-error -occurred-pdf2dtp-file-recovery/
As far as I remember, the former is for Win and the latter for Mac.

Outline will not restructure after adding another attribute dimension

I have a large ASO outline - 9 dimensions with 30 attribute dimensions. When I add another attribute dimension - top level - and then add a single child, the outline will no longer save and restructure itself. If I clear all the data in the cube and load the new attribute, it will save and restructure. I can then add all of the data back in and actually add or remove attribute members and the cube will save and restructure itself. I have tried to up the memory setting on the application - in various increments - up to 1.5GB with no difference in performance. While I can (may have to) live with the fact that I can load the attributes in during the nightly rebuild cycle by placing them in the correct build order in the MaXL scripts, I can no longer run an update for that attribute in EAS console on demand. Has anyone else had this problem with a large number of attribute dimensions in their ASO cube and if so, how have you gotten around it. As a side note, I cannot compress the outline even after clearing the data and aggregations. The "Compact Outline" routine hangs and I have to kill EAS to stop the process. Thanks,

I have an iMac purchased in May 2011. OSX Lion 10.7.3. I deleted backup file from the external hard drive which operates from Time Machine.
Now, the trash can will not empty some of the files deleted from the backup harddrive.
The trash contains-- File folder: "Core Services" which contains a locked file: "boot.efi".
It will not delete.
How do I get the trash can empty of these files?

Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

ITunes purchased videos and all DRM movies will not play on iOS 8 devices when streamed from an external drive (or streamed from other wireless devices). Any solution in sight?

Video streaming of DRM movies, purchased from iTunes and other vendors, to any iOS device is not working.

I am not sure if you really understand the issue at hand. Possibly that you are just scanning, not reading the whole text, or simply that you just want to close a thread with your last words or derail it for whatever strange reason. So far you have been more destructive than helpful, but again this could be ignorance at best.
If you would have had the decency to read the entire thread you would have come to the conclusion that every manufacturer, I came across, has posted FAQ's to this issue but Apple. Find a short excerpt below:
SeaGate http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/006135en?language=en_US <http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/006135en?language=en_US> Playing DRM (Digital Rights Management) protected movies in Seagate Media App Information regarding remote streaming of DRM protected movies. Most forms of DRM (Digital Rights Management) will prevent playing movies on unauthorized devices or from remote storage hosted on wireless drives or NAS drives(Seagate Wireless, Seagate Wireless Plus, Seagate Central or Seagate Personal Cloud). Movies purchased from iTunes can be streamed to iOS 6 and iOS 7 devices which were authorized from remote storage (the video could be selected in Seagate Media App and would be played in a Safari browser), however in iOS 8 this has stopped working. A bug has been filed with Apple, however this functionality has not been restored. Therefore, DRM protected movies purchased on iTunes can no longer be played on devices running iOS 8.
SanDisk http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/16668/kw/itunes <http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/16668/kw/itunes> Videos purchased or rented from iTunes will not play in iOS 8 The SanDisk Wireless Media Drive and Wireless Flash Drive support streaming of DRM protected iTunes purchased movie content to authorized devices in iOS 6 and iOS 7 ONLY. The DRM protected content is opened in Safari where the DRM is decrypted and the video is played. iOS 8 issue In iOS 8 Apple device has NOT enabled Safari based DRM decryption. Therefore DRM protected content, i.e. purchased movies or TV shows from iTunes, CANNOT be streamed from the Media Drive/WFD in iOS 8. This issue has been reported to Apple. We do not have any estimated date when Safari will support DRM decryption of iTunes purchased content.

Here are the remaining issues that we are aware of in the iOS 8 general release: • Video streaming of DRM movies (purchased from iTunes and other vendors): iTunes purchased videos and all DRM movies will not play on iOS 8 devices when streamed from AirStash (or streamed from other wireless devices). These movies are digitally protected and the AirStash app sends them to the Safari browser to play (which works for all prior iOS versions). However, in iOS 8, Safari will no longer allow DRM movies to play. These movies will play when the video is transferred to the iPhone/iPad and played in the Apple's Video App or the corresponding App from the vendor.

If this is the case and Apple will not address this issue or fix it since Apple believes that movies should be protected this way, you need to let the community know that movies are restricted this way.

It appears that Apple finally fixed an issue they had with their movie DRMs. The files should have never played in the first place.

Driver Scanner will not update, there is a problem with proxy sttings and the firewall

Driver Scanner will not update. It says there is a problem in connecting to the Uniblue browser.
Also there is a problem with the proxy set up and the firewall.

With that one, let's try getting an installer log to the Apple engineers for a look.
1. Open a command prompt window. (Start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return.)
2. Drag and drop iTunesSetup.exe onto the window so that the full pathname of the file is at the command line prompt.
3. Type in a space, then the following line:
/l*v C:\log.txt
4. Hit return.
5. The installer will create a log file:
C:\log.txt
Find that file and send it as an attachment to this email address: [email protected]
in the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
- A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
- The username you are using in the thread
- The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
- the version of Windows you are using (mention service packs)
- A concise description of the issue you are seeing
- The exact text of the error message you are seeing

hedger,
How do you expect anyone to help when we don't know a darned thing about the file, abut your setup, exact version of Photoshop and your OS, machine specs, etc.?
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,

what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

HT1751 i bought a new, larger external hard drive. copied my itunes library from the old drive to the new one, changed the libarary location in Edit/Preferences/Advanced to the new drive. iTunes will not start or run unless old hard drive plugged in.??

I bought a new, larger external hard drive. I have my iTunes library on the external drive instead of C: drive, Using Windows 7.
I copied my itunes library from the old drive to the new one, changed the libarary location in Edit/Preferences/Advanced to the new drive.
iTunes will not start or run unless the old hard drive is plugged in.
If I disconnect the old drive iTunes shuts down.
Any ideas. ??

Hello kskip,
Thank you for providing so much information about what is going on. It sounds like you have setup iTunes to save new content to your new external hard drive in iTunes>Preferences, but it sounds like iTunes is not opening iTunes Library.itl file on the new external drive. You have one last step to take to have iTunes point to your new external hard drive rather than your old one:
Steps to create or choose a different iTunes Library file
If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
If you are using Windows, hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu and choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes.
You should see the following screen:
Additional information
If you do not see the screen above, then you did not hold the correct key at the correct time. You may want to try again. Note that if you pinned iTunes to the Start menu programs, and open it that way, it may not work.
Once you select "Choose Library," you will need to navigate to the iTunes Library.itl file on your new external drive.

Time Machine will not let me restore from recent backups. I can see them on the external drive but will not restore sooner that June of 2013! Any suggestions?

All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.
