Lost my Identity!

I've been busy 24/7 for the last couple of months building a brand new purpose built studio so I haven't been doing any recording and have barely answered my emails much less had time to log in here.
The dust has settled and I find I no longer exist!!!!
I worked hard for my level 2 status, asking and answering questions, etc.!
Why have I been deleted!!!!!
Can I get myself back???
Can I get my level 2 back????
HELP

Don't sweat it mate. All posts that were not online at the cutover were not included in post-count calculations. However, the Discussions staff say they are trying to figure out a way to import that data from the old system.
Some people lost thousands of posts. I used to have around 1200 myself

Since updating to version 8.0.1 many websites have lost their identity icon.

In the address bar and Bookmarks a lot of web sites have lost their identity icon in Firefox 8.0.1 (which were there before). Holding the cursor over the icon area brings up a message saying 'this site does not supply identity information'. But this message also comes up when putting the cursor over one ''with'' an icon. Some sites have the icon in Bookmarks but it doesn't show in the address bar. I have found it does not happen on Vista laptop, only on Windows 7 desktop.

Hi. I think there are two different things going on here. The "identify information" message relates to something unrelated to the webicon. From what I can tell it has to do with digital signing. I had to do some browsing before I found a site that actually ''was'' signed: Google. When you go to Google you'll see the site name to the right of the webicon with the url afterward. Holding cursor over it shows google.com's signed by Thawte Consulting. Oddly enough, VeriSign is not...um...verified. The story on this one will be interesting.
As far as the webicon goes, if you provide links to a few sites that don't work I'd be glad to take a look. I haven't had the problem yet on Lion or Win 7 Pro, but that doesn't mean anything. It could be the way the icon is identified or its filetype: .ico and .png files can be used (maybe others) and there are different ways to identify them: link rel="shortcut icon" or "icon" and type="image/x-icon" or "image/png" if a png file's used. Could be 8.01 no longer recognizes one of these or incorrectly stated ones it was OK with in the earlier release. All guesses of course w/o having something to look into.

I upgraded to Firefox 4 and lost my Identity Safe w/ Norton. How can I get it back?

''Locking, as this problem has been fixed by Norton - [http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720112959EN&pvid=nis-2011&selected_nav=5&layout= see this Norton support page.]
Identity Safe is a part of Norton and it keeps your login info safe. There was a little icon in the toolbar of the last version of FF and it's gone now.
I'm not sure if this Norton piece considered a plugin or extension but I use it throughout the day.

Yea, they say they will have it done by '''MAY'''!
Guess I'll just have to turn my computer off for 2 months while I wait.
What other Add-ons don't work? It sure would have been nice to know BEFORE I updated.

Will Firefox 6.0 support Norton Identity Safe now? If not now, when?

I lost Norton Identity Safe when I upgraded to Firefox 5.0. I don't want to upgrade to 6.0 until I know it will support this plug-in. I DO NOT like Last Pass plug-in; every time I use it I get the error message that I am not on line and I know I am.

If identity safe, part of Norton 360, doesn't work with the new version I do not want to waste my time with it.

If I upgrade to most recent Firefox version will I loose Identity Safe w/ Norton?

the last time I tried to upgrade firefox I lost my Identity Safe w/Norton. Is this issue still ongoing?

I want the old Firefox. This versions sucks if you can't use software such as Identity Safe if you want.

My iCal just totally went on the fritz. Please help me restore it.

After years of use, all of a sudden my iCal went on the fritz today. Tools would appear and disappear and could not be selected (eg. Month, Week, Day); the to-do list disappeared; calendars in the list of calendars at the top left would appear and disappear and could not be selected; I could not add a new event. The monthly calendar at the bottom left would appear and disappear but fortunately I would allow me to move to a different week so that I could view the events in my calendar, but not move, change, delete, or add events. I could not export.
Apparently the problem is in my user files. I created a new computer account, logged into that account, and iCal worked fine there.
I am using iCal 3.0.8 and OS X 10.5.8.
I tried trashing Home/Library/Caches, and also all the caches in Home/Library/Calendars/ , and also Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.ical (all of them). Upon restart, the problems are still there.
I do not have a backup of iCal files per se. I do have a Time Machine backup of my computer files. I tried bringing back a previous version of all the files in Home/Library/Calendars, but that did not work.
I guess I need somehow to clean up the base iCal file. Frankly, I don't know where that is. I thought that the Home/Library/Calendars/ folder was the place that iCal used, since it has a folder for each calendar with an info.plist file on the particular calendar's name, color, etc., and then an enclosed folder with a file for each event and to-do item for that particular calendar. However, it appears that this is not true and there must be some other master file location, which just populates the Home/Library/Calendars folder for convenience. For example, when I created a new account on my computer and ran iCal, if I created calendars and events in the program, and then quit the program and deleted a calendar from the Home/Library/Calendars folder or deleted a particular event from the Events folder inside the Home/Library/Calendars calendar folder, I found that when I restarted iCal, it still had the calendar and event, and recreated them inside the Home/Library/Calendars folder. Similarly, if I added to the Home/Library/Calendars folder on the new computer account one of the folders for a calendar and events I have from my existing account, they do not appear when running iCal. Thus, there must be some other place where the data for the iCal program resides.
I would desperately like to get the program working again, with all my data intact. Is there some way that I can "clean" the base file, and bring in the data again. If not, what files do I need to bring back from TimeMachine to restore iCal to its condition from an earlier time when it was working? I know that it is not enough to just bring in the files from Home/Library/Calendars.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dear John,
Thank you again for your thoughts and help.
I tried restoring from the backup created earlier, but that did not work. Apparently, the backup is also corrupted. When I did a restore, iCal just hung. It appears that the data was imported, but then something prevented it from finishing. When I restarted iCal, I now had double entries for each event, and the same problems with the program not working.
However, after many troubleshooting attempts, I have finally got the program working and restored data from TimeMachine from a week ago. Here is what I learned. (Please give me the benefit of your thoughts on all of this):
There apparently is some file (probably associated with iSync) that stores all of the data in iCal. It may be the case that there is one file which stores the calendars, and a separate one which stores the events for those calendars. The data is also found in the Home/Library/Calendars folder. It appears that on system startup (without even starting iCal), if the system does not detect the Calendars folder, it creates a new one, and populates it with default "Home" and "Work" calendars with no items in them. However, the system then goes on to check the background database (iSync?) and if there is calendar data there, it adds those calendars and the events in those calendars to the Calendars folder. (Therefore, the data in the database is in some location other than the Calendars folder, because even when everything is deleted from the Calendars folder, trashed and emptied, the system recreates all of the data, repopulates the Calendars folder with the data, and it appears in iCal.) Thus, it appears that if there is no Calendars folder initially, the system does two things on startup (or other sync event): (1) create "Home" and "Work" calendars, and (2) import all other calendars and their associated events from the sync database into the Calendars folder and make it available to iCal.
If changes are made in iCal to add events, etc., but the info in the Calendars folder is deleted before a system restart (or other sync event), on a restart with a blank Calendars folder, the new Calendars folder is repopulated with the calendars and events from the database, but does not include the new events. On the other hand, if changes are made in iCal to add events, etc., and the Calendars folder is then left alone through a restart, it appears that on the shut down there is another syncing that takes place--this time the new data added by iCal to the Calendars folder is now added to the database. Thus, after the restart, if you delete the Calendars folder, and restart again, the system recreates the Calendars folder, and the added events are now there.
If I create a new user account, and replace the Calendars folder with a copy of the Calendars folder from my existing account, and then restart, the system again compares the Calendars folder with the database (blank). Since the database started with no information, it creates a "Home" and "Work" calendar in the Calendars folder. However, it also adds the calendars and entries that are in the Calendars folder to the database. I know it is now there because if I delete, trash, and empty the Calendars folder, and restart the computer, the Calendars folder is now repopulated with all of the data from the database.
So, as best I can tell, on system startup (or other sync event?), the system compares the database and the Calendars folder. If there is nothing in the Calendars folder, the system creates "Home" and "Work" calendars. If there are other calendars in the database, and they are not in the Calendars folder, the system creates the calendars and their events in the Calendars folder from the database and they are now available to iCal. When using iCal, changes that are made, such as adding or deleting events or calendars, are reflected by immediate changes to the files and folders in the Calendars folder. However, it appears that the database is not changed immediately, at least with regard to added or deleted events. (I am not sure whether adding or deleting a calendar affects the database immediately or not.) On system shutdown (or other sync event), the system again compares the database and the Calendars folder, and updates the database with the changes made to the Calendars folder.
What I think happened in my case is that somehow the database lost the identity of my calendars. It had the events (in their proper colors), but did not have the calendars themselves. This caused iCal to freak out. When I removed the Calendars folder and started over, the system created "Home" and "Work" calendars (and "Birthdays" subscription calendar), and then brought back in all the old events again from the database. On running iCal, there were "Home", "Work" and "Birthdays" calendars in the calendar list, but none of the names of the other calendars. However, all the events were still there. This again caused iCal to freak out.
When I tried restoring the iCal backup file, apparently the same corruption problem existed in the backup file. So it added all the events in again without a calendar reference (although in the correct colors), but never cleaned up -- since the restore never finished--it just hung. The result was that iCal now had two copies of each event, but still was not working because all of those events were somehow not properly associated to a calendar.
I then tried deleting the Calendars folder and resetting iSync. That worked wonders. Resetting iSync apparently cleaned out all of the events from the database. However, it did not clean out the seven calendars I had before. Rather, it now made them able to be recognized by iCal. When I then ran iCal, all of the calendars I had before showed up in iCal, but there were no events in them. (That is why I think there is one database file which identifies the calendars that the user is currently using, and a separate database file which stores the events. Resetting iSync cleans out the events database, but does not change the list of calendars that the user is currently using.)
Having apparently cleared the database of its problems, I then tried restoring with the backup file again. Unfortunately, that did not work. It really appears that the backup file is corrupted. The restore only brought back the same problem-- the events were brought back without any associated calendars, and iCal did not work.
So, I reset iSync again to clean out the database, trashed the Calendars folder, used TimeMachine to bring back a former copy of my Calendars folder, and restarted. I ran iCal and it recognizes all of the calendars and the events that were in them. I restarted again. (That apparently updated the database.) I deleted the Calendars folder. I restarted again. The system now recreated the Calendars folder from the database--adding a "Home" and "Work" calendar.
So, I think there is a two-way synchronization between the database and the Calendars folder.
Ultimately, the resolution to my problem would be:
(1) reset iSync to clear the database
(2) delete the Calendars folder
(3) restore a previous version of the Calendars folder from TimeMachine
(4) restart
(5) iCal runs fine, using the data brought back from TimeMachine
(6) restart again to sync the data to the database.

I downloaded version 4 this morning and now Firefox won't open. I use XP. It is going in taskmgr but not opening up.

I have tried everything to get the new 4.0 to open. I did the upgrade this morning and have been working on it all day, When I tried installing it several times FF was running so I closed it down via task mgr. I rebooted.. did everything I could think of. I really don't want to uninstall and lose all my info and settings, along with my add ons. I am defragging now, hoping that might help. I am using Windows XP.

When I downloaded new stupid version causing crash my system My Norton gone
after 4 h struggling finally I got it back but only protection I lost my identity safe data witch is very important for me my password can not be verify and I can not fix it I'm so mad I want old version back

How do I revert from ver. 4.0 to ver. 3.6? Version 4.0 is not compatible with Norton 360 at this time.

When I upgraded to version 4.0 I lost my "Identity Safe" in Norton 360. I was told by Norton that they are working on an upgrade. I want to revert to 3.6 until that is available.

Did Norton give you a time scale for when it will be available?
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6.* you can uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install Firefox 3.6.* available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.

The record has duplicate key values - "Include in Unique Index" checkbox missing

I have a Silverlight client app that I'm developing in Lightswitch in VS2013 Ultimate Update 1, and have run into a problem when adding records.
I am working against an external SQL Server 2008 database, and the table in question only has the primary key constraint, meaning that the ID field is an identity field, set as the primary key.
When I try and add records to the table from the app, I get an error "The Shiur record has duplicate key values." This seems to happen when I add a row that has the same Speaker as an existing one. If I add one with a new Speaker then
it inserts OK.
Whilst searching for information on this error, I saw many comments around about there being a problem in earlier releases with the "Include in Unique Index" not working properly. This looked like my problem, except for two points...
1) This table doesn't have anything in a unique index (as far as I know), as I never set it up to have any. You can see the details here...
This looks to me like there is only the one index, which is the primary key one.
2) The "Include in Unique Index" checkbox doesn't appear on my Properties panel at all. If I open the table in the designer, then click in the Speaker row, I don't see "Include in Unique Index" at all...
Actually, I don't see "Include in Unique Index" at all, irrespective of what I click. It's just not there.
So, I don't seem to have a unqiue constraint to violate, and VS doesn't show me the "Include in Unique Index" to allow me to check this, but I still get the error on insert. Anyone any ideas what's going on here?
Thanks

Hi Alan,
'Include in Unique Index' is for intrinsic database entity properties.
Ah, that explains why I can't see it then :)
Is LightSwitch or SQL throwing the error?
Ah, you're a genius! Well, not quite, but your question led me to the answer.
For some odd reason, the primary key fields on my tables seem to have lost their identity setting, so when it tried to insert a new record, the ID wasn't automatically increased, so was going in as zero. This worked fine for the first insert, as there wasn't
a record with zero ID, but failed for the second.
Changed the ID fields to be identity, and all works fine now :)
Thanks very much.

4.0.1 did it

It appears that the new update fixed the slowness, at least for me. I still have the top sites turned off. So far, works great. Fingers are all crossed!

I tried downloading 4.0 and still can't open AOL or Netflix.

Just blue writing comes up. No pictures or graphics. I can't watch movies with the new 5.0 and when I redownloaded the old version, the same thing happened. This happened last week and I had a devil of a time gettting it to work again. Don't remember how I did it but I'm fed up. I guess I'll have to stick to Chrome which is not as good as the old Mozilla. Shoot!

My iTunes Library is mixed up.

When I play some songs, iTunes player shows the right song information but plays the wrong music.
When searching for the song title in finder (in the iTunes Media map) and pre-listen to the song (hitting spacebar) this wrong song is also playing.
iTunes thus placed different songs with the song names. This was not the case a few weeks ago.
I have a huge library of over 1TB , all imported from CD, placed on a nas drive (raid1), made an extra external back-up, but offcourse they all have the same problem, since i just detected this problem... It seems TuneUp can fix part of the wrong tracks.
My question: WHY is iTunes mixing up the songs? Is it because sometimes iTunes is open on a Macbook Pro wich goes to sleep modus and thus loses connection with the server?
Thank you for your answers...

So you're saying your files are misnamed too? In Finder you go to click on file name "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and "Rockaway Beach" by the Ramones plays instead? And if you do that in iTunes the same happens which means the file has been mistagged? If played in Quicktime are both the file name and tags in the information window incorrect? That's a mess because it means the file has completely lost its identity and cannot be retagged easily with some tool based on file name or renamed based on tags.
I don't know why this is happening. Do you keep just media on the NAS and the library files on the internal drive? I must say, in the past few months it seems like there are not-infrequent posts where people do that and end up in some kind of mess. I plain think iTunes does not seem to work well with NAS, or possibly only if it is all kept on the NAS. Well, maybe because we don't hear the non-problem cases, but it seems I have been reading more problem cases in the past few months which may just mean more people are turning to NAS.

Update wiped out my ipod name and recognition

I updated to 12.1 today and the extraction of my old files wiped out the driver for my ipod, Windows reinstalled but it's now showing as simply Apple iPod not its alias.   ITUNES now can't recognise it. If I rename the device will that make iTunes recognise it and if so which is the simplest process?
We have 2 other iPods in the house and the are fine, the one that lost its identity was the first. I connected to sync.
I have spent hours trying to work this out.
I am not game to delete the drivers in case it causes the other 2 to fail.
Anyone got some non technical ideas?

Are the other iPods that work iPod touches (or iPhones or iPads)? iOS devices like iPod touches use additional drives to those used by "dumb" iPods.

Why is Apple Inc. always in my contact?

I Do not enjoy talking to apple as if I am attention seeking. especially when I opened safari trying to do something,that page about Tims message was already there for me to see. Does Apple Inc, automatically show up in your contacts too?

THanks guys. tim's message or Apple inc, in my contact don't bother me. Yesterday I joined this community, I uploaded a picture of my cat to be the profile. But I can't see it here. And then shortly
I received the above message. I've got 2-step verification but the password is changed again. at dawn I logged into my hub page, I realised the legitimate ip address to the server in fact never existed. IP address was 0.0.0.0. , but the whole family can use broad band --with super doper speed. there's another IP address which over maps our router. That's how I lost my identity and our devices keep locked out ever so easily. I purchased an air port in hope to strengthen the security. But after reading all about air port....I believe we're already dominated by an air port which explains why a remote disc is constantly on to my laptop. What can I do? I hesitate to install the new port I just bought. How can I get out of the existing port?
