Move content db within same farm but now wrong schema so can't mount!

This is weird.
SharePoint 2010, SP1 (yes, I know, rather out of date).
I moved a content db to a different drive on our SQL server.  Removed it in SP, detached in SQL Server, moved the mdf and ldf file, and re-attached in SQL server.  But when I try to add it back to SharePoint, I'm told that the schemas don't match.
I did *nothing else* at the time.  This is all within the same farm, and all the members are at the same patch level.
Does anyone have any ideas?  Please?

Thanks to both respondents for your suggestions.  As it turns out, the error was my fault, though I wish it hadn't taken me a whole day to figure out.
I have a script which runs a couple of times a day, to create a MySite for any new user who doesn't currently have one.  I unmounted a load of mysite content databases in order to move them to the new drive.  Shortly after which, the script ran,
and thus created empty sites in the place of the ones I'd temporarily removed!
Thankfully my script keeps a log of everything it does, so it was then relatively easy to delete the new empty sites.  Once I did this, and then did the server upgrades I was also intending to do at the same time, I could re-mount the old MySites just
fine.
For future reference, the best clue was the warning about duplicated sites that I got from doing a test-spcontentdatabase in PowerShell.  Definitely something I intend to run regularly now, to check for problems.

    Hello there, RobenCaatje.
    The following Knowledge Base article is specific for the issue you're describing:
    iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1630
    Specifically:
    Resolution
    Verify that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack, including headsets, headphones, or adapters.
    Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not switched to silent.
    While on the Home screen, adjust the volume buttons. If you see the icon below, indicating that headphones are attached, there may be debris or an object lodged in the headset jack:
    Check the headset jack. If there is an object lodged in the headset jack that is not easily removed, have the iPhone serviced to remove object.
    For Original iPhone: If there is light debris, such as lint, in the headset jack, try connecting a pair of headphones to the headset jack and then remove the headphones. Repeat this several times to remove the debris.
    If you have installed a protective film on the display, either ensure that the receiver is not covered or remove the film completely.
    Check the receiver mesh (which is on the top front of the device, above the display). If it appears blocked, use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If you have paired with a Bluetooth headset that is nearby, either use the headset or turn Bluetooth off (chooseSettings > General > Bluetooth).
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting the iPhone doesn't resolve the issue, try restoring the device.
    If the issue persists, go to the Service Answer Center - iPhone for information on service.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

    Hello leannerich,
    The easiest option for you may be to use AirPlay to stream the movie from your iPad to the AppleTV. The article below will walk you through the process of setting that up.

    I own photoshop cs5 extended but now have win8.  can i upgrade to cc at reduced price to cc or do i need to purchase it at full price? I don't need cloud but will use the pc for install.

    There is no such thing as a "pay once, use forever CC". It's strictly a subscription model that you can use as long as you pay for it. Your CS5 will give you a discount for the first year.

    Hi i got the teacher student plan in october for 1 year but now appears as expired, can somebody help me please?

    Hi there,
    Subscription was expired due to non payment for the month of March. I see the new card has been updated in the system and the subscription would be up & running in sometime.
    Note: Since subscription was not charged for the month of March, once the subscription is activated you will be charged for the month of March also.

  • I know how to move itunes music to my iTouch, but now it says...?

    I know how to move iTunes music to my iTouch, but not it says that there isnt enough room on my iTouch for my music, so iTunes is going to copy as many files as possible...so, to get space do I erase some of my pictures? Becaus I did, but the same thing popped up. 

    Maybe here:

  • How to store movie contents while keeping same music library

    Pretty much what i wanna do is that to save music in my computer but keep my movie contents in external hard drive. How do i do this?
    Thanks in advance

    Put the movies on the external drive.  Hold down the option key while dragging them to an iTunes window which will leave the files where you put them. Of course the movies will show as broken links iif you do not have the external turned on when starting iTunes, but the links will repair themselves if you turn on the drive and restart iTunes.
    My preferred method is to make a separate library for movies and store this on the external drive.  To do that, start iTunes with the option key held down.

  • Want to restore recent production backup content db into Dev Farm but both contain the same site collections.

    Here is my scenario: 
    My current dev sharepoint 2013 environment is using a former backup of Production (which is 2010). We need to restore the latest backup from production into the dev environment. I restored the production backup to a new database under a different name. When
    I use "Mount-spContentDatabase" and point towards the latest production backup under a new name it gives me the error:
    Mount-SPContentDatabase : The attach operation cannot continue because another
    object in this farm already contains the same ID. Each object in a farm must
    have a unique ID. In order to proceed with the attach operation you must
    assign a new ID to this database. To attach this database with a new ID, use
    the Mount-SPContentDatabase command with the -AssignNewDatabaseId parameter.
    Note that if this new database and an existing database contain the same site
    collections, attaching this database will likely result in orphaned site
    collections due to conflicts between the two databases." 
    I realize mounting the same content db's in one farm leads to a duplication of database and site collection GUIDS in the sql database. I guess my question is what is the easiest way to restore a content db with the same site collections and ID. 
    Should I "disconnect" the current dev content db, take a backup of it, delete it from sql server, and then mount the newest production backup or will that still give me the same "orphaned" site issue?
    Should I do the above, delete the web application, create a new one and then try to mount latest production backup?
    If someone could give me specifics on how this can be accomplished short of installing on a new farm that would be much appreciated!

    Once you detach it from Sharepoint, so all the site information gone from Config DB. No need to delete it from SQL but you can if you need free space on the SQL.
    After detaching old DB from sharepoint and mount the new DB to web application...you will not get the ID error.

  • Moved a movie rental from PC to IPad but now cannot find it on IPad

    The longer version of the problem is that for some reason I am unable to rent a movie on the iPad.  The "rent" button is not lit.  So I rented the
    movie on my PC and then moved it to the iPad.  When you look at the iPad in iTunes on my PC it shows that the rental is there.  But, it is no where to
    be found on the iPad--not in Videos app or under iTunes. 

    Did you set any restrictions?
