Missing user folder from Workspace and FR studio

Hi All,
Recently we upgraded the workspace and applications... Initially there were all the folders, but i noticed that user folder from workspace and FR studio was missing... If anyone have come across this issue please let me know how to solve it.
Awaiting for response, Thanks in advance

Just to make sure I understand. When you double click the hard drive icon either in the sidebar or on your desktop (if you have it shown there) there is no users folder shown? If that is the case then it must somehow have become invisible. If there was in actuality no user folder at all your Mac would not boot.
If that is the case then you may have to use the terminal to get it back. I can't help you with that though, sorry. Another possibility is that there is some sort of corruption in a cache file. You could use a tool such as YASU or others to do a light cache cleaning which may solve the problem.

Transfer User Folder from Archive and Install

I installed Leopard today and did an Archive and Install. It preserved my old user folder, but I can't seem to make it a user. I tried copying it into the user folder and it is now in two places, but does not show up on my login page. All the information is there, I just don't know how to tell Leopard to make that folder a user. Any suggestions? Is this possible? or do I have to transfer all the data manually to a new user I create?
All of the data is on the same drive, so Migration Assistant does not appear to be helpful. Any support is appreciated

Create an account with that short name in the Accounts pane of System Preferences.

Copying over "users" folder from Mac OS 10.3.8

Hello,
I am doing an upgrade from a G4 with 10.3.9 to G5 with Mac OS 10.4.8
Can I simply copy over the users folder from 10.3.9?
I have a feeling this will not work....?
Better to do it with Migration assistant, or just grab specific things I need, such as pluggins I installed for my audio applications such as Protools & Logic Audio...

Scott:
Here's an alternative from Niel:Copying Over an Account to a different Volume
Copying an Account directly by dragging or by cloning will not change the NetInfo information needed for the Account to be properly recognized.
To properly set up NetInfo
*Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Accounts
*Click on padlock and authenticate
*Click on plus sign under Login Options to add a new account.
*Set up an account and check box to allow user to administer.
*Log out of current account and log in to new Admin account
*Connect computer (Host) to computer with account to be transferred (Target) via Firewire ports.
*Start Target computer and hold down “T” key immediately after chime to mount HDD on Host computer desktop via Firewire Target Disk Mode
* Drag Home folder from Target Disk to Users Folder on Host and rename it. (If you get an error message about permissions when doing the copy, click button to Authenticate and enter your password; alternatively, you can turn permissions off for the source disk in the Get Info window.)
*Switch names between copied Folder and Home Folder (with house icon) by putting 2 after Home Folder name, and naming newly copied Folder with account name (original home folder name).
*To see that copied folder is owned by the account that is logged in select folder and Get Info (Command + i), then go to Ownership & Permissions.
*Log out of account by going to the Apple Menu and selecting Log out Account Name (Command + Shift + Q)
*Log back in to account.
*If the account was successfully copied, you may uncheck Allow User to Administer option in Apple Menu/System Preferences/Accounts if you choose.
with thanks to Niel
Good luck.

If i restore a user folder from time machine. is it just restoring all files associated with the user or programs also?

If i restore a user folder from time machine, is it just restoring the files associated with the user or programs as well? Im asking because Apple Store just reset my system and said to restore files i needed and not to do a full restore. to try and determine if it was a software issue causing the problems.

Just the user's folder. Nothing else. See Pondini's TM FAQs, for details.

How do I reinstall backed up user folder after erase and reinstall of 10.4?

I had to erase and reinstall 10.4 on my g4 ibook. Prior to this I backed up my user folder on an external drive. Is there and easy way to get my machine the same as it was before the OS reinstall - library settings, files etc?

Is it assumed that apple users should have another apple machine and or a spare unused firewire hard-drive for system maintenance?!? Sure, if I were running it for buisness use, I'd have a mirrored drive, break the mirror, and upgrade one half of it, but this is the machine in my bedroom! I've got to say, I've rapidly going back of apple over these update QA issues. The fixes offered by people (and I appreciate the time and effort they put in to help others) so far all seem to involve creating other systems on spare drives, or using target mode from another mac. Come on Apple! You can't seriously expect your home users to have two machines, or a spare drive (personally, any drive I have, I use in something or other! I'd consider it a waste having a drive spare just for system upgrades to my Mac). It's about time Apple posted on this subject. It's unfair to expect your userbase to support your COMERCIAL OS for free so heavily.
I bought a mini because it was cheap, and I wanted to play with OSX. I bought the next OSX release because I had grown to like OSX. Now I'm rapidly going off it. I don't want to have to buy another device just to make it safe to upgrade.
Sorry for the Rant. Simon, this isn't meant as a criticism of your response. I just feel that apple should be more proactive here, having another disk is of course a good way to go, however, it takes the old TCO a bit to high for a home/play machine imho.
Anyone from Apple care to comment? (or will you simply edit out my post... afterall that would be easier than addressing the problem).

Missing Users Folder

For some reason, my Users folder disappeared. I have no idea how it happened, but I did install a few updates today (QuickTime, a battery update, and a general update). The odd thing is, all the subfolders (my Home folder, Shared folder, etc.) are fully accessable. I just can't get to the Users folder. It's missing when I look in Macintosh HD. I tried Go to Folder, and it says "The folder cannot be found."
Does anyone know what the problem is? It's not really affecting me at all, since all the subfolders are there, but it is kinda annoying.
Thanks for any help.

Unlinking User folder from second drive

Several years ago, I ran out of space on my 160GB drive and added a second. I found a help thread that told me how to link the Users directory from my system folder so that all user information was on the second drive, but "appeared" to be on the first. A side effect was that the second drive could not be unmounted.
I've reached the stage where both of those drives are now full, and I'm replacing them with one larger drive, and then reusing the second drive as a Final Cut Pro download drive. I've moved the user files from both drives to the new larger one, but I know I need to "undo" what I did years ago, as the user folders are not functioning correctly (they're still pointing to the second drive). I thought I had saved the command, but can't find it. Any thoughts?

A few questions:
is the '[' in front of 'dr' in your third line a typo?
is the semicolon in from of 'users' on the second line a typo? And isn't it 'Users' ?
I see that it is the Users directory you dittoed.
Let me look at what you did.
It is a symbolic link - your last line is "ln -s" which creates a symbolic /Users directory on your main HD but is really the directory on the Gobo.
I believe that you can undo what you did by reversing things, but I am not sure.
Some commands may no longer exist. For example I don't see the 'ditto -rsrcFork' listed, but it looks as if you created a duplicate of your existing /Users, transferred properties to the new /Users and then deleted your original /Users and then recreated a new /Users as a symbolic link to the new on on the other drive.
While I am thinking, you might post this again in the Apple Unix forum where there are many experts who probably know infinitely more than I about this.
Here's the link to our Unix forum:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=735
It appears that if you clone your main HD as a bootable clone and then copy the /Users from the other HD onto the clone, it should work. You would have to remove the symbolic link, and then create a new /Users directory and simply copy everything into this new one from the old one.
However, I strongly suggest backing up both HDs before doing anything, since you are tinkering under the hood and any mistake or error is liable to be fatal.
If you don't get an answer in the Unix forum, post back here.
Good Luck.

Restore User Archives from Full and Incremental backups

Ok Groupwise 8. User's keep their archives under the main users folder on a Novell Server. Groupwise is running from Linux server, so the main post office and domain are backed up nightly on the Linux server, the user archives are backed up nightly on that server.
I have had to restore current messages a user accidentally deleted from their mailbox, Reload handled that as those were current. But now I have one user who didn't know what the folder GWArchive was and blew it away. It was his archives. He needs them back. So I have restored them from the Novell server backup, first from the last full backup and then the two incremental backups that cover up to the point he deleted the folder. The incrementals were restored to separate folders because I didn't want those to overwrite the main files as these are incremental.
How do you "merge" all these together to rebuild that archive index? Is it just a matter of moving all the .000, .001, .002, etc. files over, then the *.db files, and the index files? Or something different?
Thanks in advance - I wish there was someplace that describes all these file types, what they are, etc. a really technical level explanation so I understand this a lot better.
Kind regards,

* iliadmin,
when you do incremental backups, it's very useful to have an option to restore a certain point in time and let the backup app collect the data which was in place at that point in time. Else copy back the base, then *overwrite* with the first incremental, then the second etc., moving up to the latest backup you have.
Which file is which is pretty well explained in the manual. The files are the same as in the live PO, just for only one user when you look at an archive.

How do I remove "other users" folder in mail and on my iPhone

On one account only I have "other users" folder that lists all of the folders of every user on the server. On my iphone I have to scroll past pages of other user folders to get to any folder named with anything after "O"
Does anyone know how to get the server to stop showing "other users" in both mail and iphone mail?

Unfortunately that is really the only work around since
Comcast uses POP3 and not IMAP like Gmail or
iCloud.
I had received an email quite some time ago that they
were beta testing IMAP with select customers but I doubt
if it has gone much further than that.

How To Delete a User Folder from the Catalog?

When logged into the Catalog Manager as the Administrator I am not allowed to delete individual user folders, even when the user has been deleted via the 'Manage Presentation Catalog Groups and Users' link in the front end. If the Administrator user cannot do this, who can? I also can't do it if I log into the Catalog Manager as the specific user (and I also can't change the permissions on that users folder, as that user!).
Any ideas? Thanks.

Your second option doesn't work for me. I've got no ability to drill into the individual user folders or change their permissions. The normal padlock button is not next to any of the user folders except the Administrator folder.
I didn't have the ability to take OBI down so I could try using the Catalog Manager offline, so I deleted the user folders in the file system directly.

Changing user type from ARD and Unix command

I am now in charge of a Mac network encompassing many different machines, running a mix between Tiger and Leopard. I have them on ARD and would like to batch "demote" every user except my admin account on each machine to standard user privileges. What would be the command I need to send through to do this en masse?

You could run a dscl command on the 10.5 machines. Maybe run it within a shell script that searches in the /Users folder and returns each folder name (user name). But, again this would only work on the 10.5 machines with the new directory services.

Conflict between ActiveX from LabVIEW and Measurement Studio?

Hello
We're small software company from Poland. We're developing our product
(SCADA/HMI and integration system heavily based upon Measurement Studio
graphic controls) in C++ for Win32 environment (MSVC 2003 Edition C++
Compiler). Today we ran into serious problem: our client, one of the
biggest Polish companies that sell automation software and hardware, is
evaluating our product. Company staff members are using LabVIEW, too
and have various version of LabVIEW installed on their PCs. It turned
out that our program displays message that license is needed for
Measurement Studio ActiveX controls, and crashes, when ran on PC with
LabVIEW installed! (This one has LabVIEW 6.1, 7.0, 7.1 simultaneously
installed).
While I gues that crash is not Measurement Studio's fault (I guess that
control fails to create and throws exception which is not catched by
our code...we'll fix that) I'm pretty sure that this "license" stuff
is. Of course we have legal version of Measurement Studio 7.1, and all
controls used in our software have their respective licenses generated
and compiled into application (we create all controls dynamically). We
have never run into such problem before, and we're using Measurement
Studio for years...please help.
Some additional details: control that failed is CWBoolean in "3D Diode"
configuration. Other controls, including CWBoolean in another
configurations seem to work OK, at least I was told so (it's pity that
I don't have faulty configuratio here...will try to reproduce it using
some kind of LabVIEW evaluation version).
Best regards from Poland, and thanks for any help.

Hi Michal,
This is actually an error message that is usually fixed pretty simply by using our License Fixer. Sometimes the licenses for the ActiveX controls can become broken in Measurement Studio. This usually happens if you install drivers after installing Measurement Studio or a program created using Measurement Studio. You can find the License Fixer here. Try this out and let us know if you still have any trouble.
Thanks,

Missing Functionality: Copy from orders and pick and pack functions

When I create a delivery note from the Sales A/R Delivery menu using the "Copy from" function and select two or more orders having different payment methods, system show me one delivery notes and alerts me that orders have two different payment terms.
If i do the same in the Pick and Pack selecting lines from different orders, system show me one delivery notes without alerts me that orders have two different payment terms.
This behavior is contradictory. The system should have same behaviour in the "Copy from" functionality and in Pick and Pack.

Whats the difference between executing a package from SQL and Visual Studio?

Hi,
We have a package that is currently failing to run when deployed to SQL. This has been tried from a schedule and also executed manually both are failing.
I have tried from Visual studio running on various machines (windows 8, server 2012) and in all cases run perfectly.
I am trying to understand the differences between deploying to SQL and running from VS so maybe I can figure out why this is happening.
I have the following errors when I run from SQL.
DTS_E_PROCESSINPUTFAILED - all errors like this point to the 'Sort' tasks in the script
dts_e_processinputerror not enough storage is available
I have tested in four environments and all fail from SQL but not from VS!
Last night I tried from my laptop and executed the package from SQL - it didn't fail but was still running in the morning so I terminated. Note this takes around 20 mins running from VS! why would it be so quick from VS but fail or take so long on SQL?
The test running at the moment is on a server with dynamic memory currently at 14GB. I decreased SQLs RAM to 4GB and it hasn't failed yet but has been running for two hours. Before changing this the package failed after a short time.
I thought it may have something to do with running from a virtual machine but doesn't explain why it couldn't run locally on my laptop.
All ideas welcome :) Many thanks,
Davina

I will try to address issues one by one
The error doesn't seems to be related to SSISDB configuration mode. It may be because of
Change in package definition (please confirm that the package which you are running on your laptop is the same on your msdb? - reload your SQL package from MSDB in BIDS/SSDT and recreate your source and destination components)
As your error message shows, "not enough memory available" (may be because of multicast) - Usually you can override this error by restarting SQL Server [not an optimal solution but it work & if that work it shows that your package fills
the memory - Keep an eye on task manager]
Make sure that your statics on table are updated [run EXEC sp_updatestastics]
Make sure your indexes are not de-fragmented [run rebuild indexes]
If you are dealing with many rows may be 40000 * 12 (because of multicast) = 4,800,000 rows the try to separate package.
Check your excel file format/column data type is correct
Check user permission who is running the job has required permission on folder/file.
Understand that sort is a blocking transformation and it requires all your data in memory before it sorts. so, if there are large number of rows then your complete memory will be occupied.
Difference between Visual Studio & BIDS/SSDT
Nothing much, other than BIDS runs on 32 bit while jobs on 64 bit (but there run time environment are configurable, though)
There shouldn't be any performance difference until your
package is on network location because transferring data to the network may slow the package. If package runs on SQL Server it uses SQL buffer pool to fetch data via SQL statement and then SSIS works on its own memory allotment.
Hope this will help you to understand and fix the issue.
Glad to help! Please remember to accept the answer if you found it helpful. It will be useful for future readers having same issue.

Can I move the location of the Users Folder from my hard drive to an external hard drive?

Hi
I have a 2011 iMac with two internal drives - a 250gb flash drive that acts as my hard drive and holds all my apps and user data, and an additional internal drive that holds data such as my aperture library. I also have an external drive that holds files such as my raw and jpeg files, that would be referenced by the aperture library.
I'm now in a position where I'm running out of space on the flash drive (effectively my hard drive) and it's slowing the machine down. Over 125gb of the space used is in the users folders.
Is there any way I can move these to the external drive in the same way I can, for example, with a dropbox folder? Clearly, doing so would be a way to free up a huge amount of space on my hard drive, and preferable to looking at replacing the drive at this stage with a bigger one.
Grateful for any thoughts…..
Many thanks
Andy
