My mail reverted to a pre-configured state - how do I recover?

I tried time-machine and now have recovered folders in my mail but the accounts are still missing. Any advice on how to restore email to it's configured state?

the first time you start Mail after TM restore it should tell you that it needs to import messages. You have to say yes. If you say "No", I think it dumps the existing mail preference file and starts anew. is this what you did?
Quit Mail, and restore the file homedirectory/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist (delete the existing one first). also, delete the file *Envelope Index* from homedirectory/Library/Mail.
Start Mail. It will tell you that it wants to import messages. say "yes".

How can I install a Designer 6.0 pre-configured repository ?

Hi:
I am trying to install Oracle Designer 6.0 to my client machine (Windows 2000) and server machine (Windows NT 4.0), what I did was:
[1]install Designer 6.0 client side on my client machine.
[2]install Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition (version 8.1.7) on the server machine.
[3]configured SQL*Net Client and NET8 on both client and server, and it works fine.
[4]install pre-configured repository using Oracle Designer 6.0 CD #2 (pre-configured repository),but it always gives me such info:
" You have not installed a local copy of Oracle8 Enterprise Edition, therefore, Oracle Designer and ODD D7O4 Preconfigured Repository can not be installed. Please re-install this product after the local
database has been installed."
It seems strange, I did install 8i Enterprise Edition (I even installed Oracle8 Enterprise Edition) before repository, I should have
a local database.
How should I do next ?

Hi Zhu:
Now that you are trying to install Designer, your problem is easy to solve.
I think you should download Oracle Designer 6i Release 4 for Windows from http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/designer/software_index.htm and then do your install again.
The install and the server side setup maybe time consuming, but I am sure you can do it.
You may install Designer 6i Release 4 in the following steps:
(Before do these, uninstall your Designer 6.0 both from your client machine and Windows 2000 server using Oracle Installer)
Step 0: download Oracle Designer 6i Release 4 from OTN to your local directory, say c:\temp and unzip it to c:\temp\Designer6iR4. I will refer this directory as installation media. Make sure that you have equipped your server machine with at least 256MB memory. In my experience, 386MB is better and 512MB is recommended.
Step 1: make sure that one database was created in your installed Oracle 8i. If not, create a database at this step. The parameters of this database should be adjusted according the needs of Designer 6i. You will be told how to do this later.
Step 2: install Designer 6i R4 from the installation media to server machine. Pay attention at this step that you should "select to install both Designer and Repository." It is recommended that Designer should be installed to another new ORACLE_HOME. Don't install it to your Oracle database home. Say, to the ORACLE_HOME "DESDEV".
Some more words need to be said here, I think, about the ORACLE_HOME for Designer. Later if you install Oracle Developer into the same machine as Designer is installed to, both the Oracle Developer and Oracle Designer should be installed into the same ORACLE_HOME. So the name DESDEV stands for "DESigner and DEVeloper are both installed into the same Oracle home named DESDEV". This will be prompted to you just after the installation of Designer was finished.
Step 3: print out "Oracle Repository/Designer Installation Guideh from "Stat->Programs->Oracle Repository 6i Doc - DESDEV". I will refer this material as gManualh from here till the end of our talk.
Step 4: shutdown your database if it is running and then set the parameters to the correct values (required values) according to gCheck the settings in the Oracle initialization parameter fileh in the Manual, Chapter 2 Server-side installation, migration and upgrade.
Step 5: startup the database and then check the parameters. To do this, you need to login to database as user sys and then issue the command gshow parametersh. If all the parameters are correct you may go step 6. You may leave the database running.
Step 6: make sure that the database is running. If not, startup database here. Before proceed to install Designer 6i Server-side, the database should in running status.
Step 7: do the server-sidefs install of Designer 6i (that is, Repository) according to gChapter 2 Server-side installation, migration and upgradeh in Manual. In that part of manual, 17 steps of installation and setup Designer 6i server-side were mentioned. I am sure you can manage that with ease.
Step 8: install Designer 6i client-side into your client machine according to hChapter 1 Client-side installationh in Manual from the installation media.
By the way, I should tell you how much time it takes to accomplish all of these steps IF things were went smoothly: it took about 6 hours for me to have all these steps done. And my machinefs specifications is:
CPU 633MHz
RAM 512MB
Wish you good luck

Why pre-configured Solaris VM with 5 (!) virtual hard discs ?

I downloaded the pre-configured Virtual Machine of Solaris Express Edition for VmWare and extracted it as described.
Much to my surprise I found 5 (!) *.vmdks
According to my knowledge these represent 5 independent virtual hard discs.
Why this ?
Can I merge all the 5 virtual discs to one single virtual disc ?
Mike

If for some reason that the server is not cleaned up properly, you may see the error message:
"Error: - 'hostname' has been managed." (from Oracle VM Manager)"
You can manually reset the Oracle VM Server agent. First, shutdown the VMs on the server and make sure no VMs running on the server:
# xm list
# xm shutdown domain-id
Then, stop Oracle VM Server agent:
# service ovs-agent stop
Clean up the Oracle VM server agent state files from /etc/ovs-agent/db location :
# rm -rf /etc/ovs-agent/db/*
And restart Oracle VM Server agent
# service ovs-agent start
One the Oracle VM Server agent is up and running, you can register the server with the Oracle VM Manager.

Failsafe method to create NetInstall image of pre-configured MacOSX

Hi All
I am trying to create NetInstall image of a pre-configured MacOSX install(mid-2011 mac mini) in this case. Here is my workflow:
1. Setup base OSX Mountain lion
2. Do all updates and configure System Preferences and Finder Preferences as desired
3. Install all desired software to be packaged with the system
4. Boot into target mode and then use a second mac mini running Casper Composer to create a .dmg of the OS.
5. Copy the finished .dmg to ML Server
6. Try to use System Image utility to create a NetInstall image that other mac minis can then use as base install
I havent had any success so far creating a valid .nbi folder I can use(and that works) for re-deployment unless I use Casper Admin and Casper Imaging to manage this. The reason I am trying to get away from using them is that the differnece between buying a $70 Casper Composer(or using the free Disk Utility) and buying the full Casper Suite is considerable. Also, my understanding of System Image Utility is that:
1. It should be possible to build a customised image of OSX from base with packages and coonfiguration added but it doesnt seem to work
2. NetInstall is the only viable option for what we want to do as NetBoot presumes you will boot off the image each time you start up(which is not what we want - we want the ability to clone systems and from bare metal if necessary) and NetRestore flatly doesnt seem to work from .dmgs.
Here is what I have found:
a) I can create NetInstall images from a mounted downloaded Apple-provided OSX Installer that work but as soon as I put customisations in them, the customisations fail.
b) By default NetInstall is greyed out when you mount the dmg and use it as a source in System image utility. Suggestions online are to change the Source to use a New variable and then point it back at the same location. NetInstall is then available. If you try to create a .nbi from this, you get an error saying that there isnt enough space on the target drive - the uncompressed dmg is about 7GB max and there is a spare 60-70Gb free on the drive I am trying to create the image on.
c) I have tried manually creating the .nbi folder but the instructions I found at http://support.apple.com/kb/TA21133 for doing this are outdated as they apply to ppc firmware and although I suspect the technique will still work, I cant work out which elements of the i386 folder I need to retain/move. Copying the i386 folder from another working Netinstall folder doesnt help.
d) I found some links suggesting that NetInstall only worked when the OSX versions were identical so I tried to run the System Image Utility on the Mac where the dmg was created. Here I get two errors:
     i) If I just run the NetInstall using the default source, it errors saying an unknown error has occurred and get the following in the log:
Workflow Started (2013-08-21 11:39:45 +0100)

     ii) If I change the source to the .dmg file and unmount it quickly to avoid any file locks, the installer goes further and seems to almost finish but then gives the following error(just appending the final bits):

Failed to create image from restore source.

An unknown error has occurred.
Image creation process finished...
Stopping image creation.
Image creation failed.
Anyone have any idea how I can get around these issues?

First, let's define the various image types...
NetInstall:
A network based image which, when booted into, presents the user with a Mac OS installer. Functionality is effectively the same as running the Install Mac OS X application locally on a machine.
NetRestore:
A network based image which, when booted into, uses Apple Software Restore to replace the contents of a volume with a previously imaged volume.
NetBoot:
A network based image which, when booted into, acts just like a locally booted hard drive, except no changes are written to the disk. Each time the client boots into the NetBoot volume, the system is "reset" to the original state.
As defined by your workflow, you are trying to create NetRestore images.
As piperspace has noted, you need to start with the latest OS Install application. Starting with an older OS which has been updated to the latest will not work.
Creating NetRestore images from other disk images doesn't work because you need to have the Recovery Partition available. As both chicster and piperspace have noted, the way to do this is to image the volume directly.
Many preferences are "ByHost", which means that they are keyed to the UUID of the machine they are set on. To make those settings transfer to the new machines, you may need to use the "Apply System Configuration Settings" action and check the "Change ByHost preferences to match..." option.

I am taking that you have fulfilled all the prerequisites and even after that you are getting this error.
From the logs that you have shared, it is not very clear as to what might be going wrong. Did you see any exception in the configtool.log or the EPMA log available at -

My computer has reverted back to its original state!! Help!!!

I was using my computer and went to log into ichat, it acted like I had never logged into the program before, asking me to enter my screen name and password. I then went to go into mail and it did the same thing asking for my email address and outgoing mail servers. I decided to shut down my computer and when I logged back on, the my background image disapeared and the dock had reverted back to its original state. All my other programs do not recognize my previous preferences and my keychain is nowhere to be found in my applications menu. My documents and saved pictures, along with my itunes music is still intact, but the rest of my computer is reverted.
Is there any way to fix this and get my computer back to my personal settings? How do I get my keychain back?
I really need help!!

Hello linty242,
First of all, Welcome to Apple Discussions Forums!
Did you happen to rename your Home Folder? If so have alook at Dr. Smoke's (of the X-Lab) FAQ found at:
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/renamehomerecovery.html
Read and fully understand the advice found there before proceeding.
If this is not the problem post back here,

CS4 Suite (all Windows versions) - documentation of XML and pre-configuration of components?

With a view to packaging and deploying CS4 in Microsoft enterprise environments (ie GPO restricted desktops, mandatory user profiles, non-administrative user base, at or near minimum spec hardware) I was wondering if anyone was aware of any documentation, official or otherwise, for pre-configuration or omission of individual components within the CS4 suite in order to more specifically tailor their operation to user requirements. Eg, such as the way Adobe provide a transform generator/editor for Acrobat in its standalone form.
The instructions for performing silent installs with or without the more major components (such as Dreamweaver, Photoshop etc) work fine, and the Adobe CS4 Deployment Toolkit (aka AdobeUberInstaller) deals with a number of omissions in the base installer such ELUA and updates suppression. However there are various options within the applications themselves I would like to change the defaults for at install time (eg suppress Adobe Bridge from prompting to run at startup, address Acrobat's refusal to run until another element of the suite has been run first etc), patches I would like to slipstream rather than apply retrospectively (currently Air, Indesign, Photoshop), and some elements (such as foreign language components and 64bit support) I would ideally like to omit from the source package altogether to keep the size down - 6GB+ to 500 clients is quite an ordeal!
Web resources such as application deployment forums have allowed me to address some of the above, but I would be very interested in the feedback/experiences of this community. I appreciate what I'm asking is somewhat vague but any crumbs of wisdom all add up...
Many thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Bill

The best is to get the versions in which you have developed/tested. These can be found in MAX under Software, if it is possible provide a link to the NI ftp download URL.
Then export the settings in MAX (for tasks/scales) if you use them and provide a simple app that loads these items into MAX.
For RIO I'm not totally sure but I would create 'Getting started' that outlines what settings (IP/DNS etc.) to get the user started.

How Can I pre-configure the proxy settings in Acrobat 8?

We use a proxy server to authenticate users and it's causing a problem for our e-licensing. Is there a place to pre-configure the proxy settings / login and password for the e-licensing to happen quietly so our users don't have to see it?

Have you searched the forum for proxy? I do not have an answer, but this has been discussed before. I am not sure there is an answer in the discussions, but it is worth a try. There is likely a knowledgebase article on the issue also. Good luck.

Unable to edit the MobileXI3BB.jad file for pre-configuration settings

According the Note:1542478 - How to pre-configure connection settings for BusinessObjects XI 3.1 Mobile clients?
We are trying to edit the MobileXI3BB.jad file to avoid the Config seeting from client side.But wonder we are not able to see the below details in our MobileXI3BB.jad:

Can any one help us how to solve this?
Edited by: Srikencha on Jun 3, 2011 8:58 AM

Hi,
you won't see this code,you need to add this code to the MobileXI3BB.jad file
BOBJ_MOBILE_AUTH_SERVER:<mobile server>
BOBJ_MOBILE_AUTH_PORT:<Port of VAS Service, for example, 11011>
BOBJ_MOBILE_CMS:<cms address, for example CMSCOLPAL:6400>
BOBJ_MOBILE_AUTH_METHOD:<authentication type> where <authentication type> could be any one of these values based on your requirements: secEnterprise, secWinAD, secLDAP, secSAPR3.

How to revert to diagnostics.wadcfg configuration from wad-control-container blob.

Hello all,
In our project at some point in the past we have enabled Diagnostics module for getting our log entries in Azure Storage. We added <Import moduleName="Diagnostics" /> to ServiceDefinition.csdef file and then enabled logs transfering and performance
counters gathering in WebRole.OnStart method via DiagnosticMonitor.Start():
DiagnosticMonitorConfiguration cfg = DiagnosticMonitor.GetDefaultInitialConfiguration();
cfg.OverallQuotaInMB = 8192;
cfg.Logs.ScheduledTransferLogLevelFilter = LogLevel.Verbose;
cfg.Logs.ScheduledTransferPeriod = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30);
cfg.Logs.BufferQuotaInMB = 1000;
// Define performance counter configuration.
foreach (var counterName in PERFORMANCE_COUNTERS_NAMES)
PerformanceCounterConfiguration perfCounterConfiguration = new PerformanceCounterConfiguration();
perfCounterConfiguration.CounterSpecifier = counterName;
perfCounterConfiguration.SampleRate = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5);
cfg.PerformanceCounters.DataSources.Add(perfCounterConfiguration);
cfg.PerformanceCounters.BufferQuotaInMB = 1024;
cfg.PerformanceCounters.ScheduledTransferPeriod = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1);
DiagnosticMonitor.Start("Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Plugins.Diagnostics.ConnectionString", cfg);
Then using Windows Azure Management Portal we activated Verbose monitoring mode and added several additional performance counters there in order to try the feature. I assume that doing that through the portal we actually modified wad-control-container blob
so we got new performace counters configuration.
Later we've realized that it would be better to manage all diagnostic configuration in diagnostics.wadcfg. We removed the code from role start and added diagnostics.wadcfg file to the project that declares the same we did before via code. When we redeployed
we saw that the configuration remained as it was before - it didn't change at all. It still included new performance counters we added through the portal. It is because the order of precedence, where wad-control-container blob has the highest priority. So
we deleted all the blobs from wad-control-container in order to revert back to diagnostics.wadcfg and redeployed the service. New blob was created in wad-control-container. It included everything from diagnostics.wadcfg as we expected and
again we saw these custom performance counters we added via portal time ago. See below the blob content:

We tried to directly edit this XML. We removed redundant counters and changed IsDefault to "true" value in the XML and updated the blob in the wad-control-container using Azure Management Studio. Next time we redeployed the service - the counters
again appeared in the configuration and IsDefault reverted to false again.
Does anyone know how to permanently revert to managing diagnostics configuration only via diagnostics.wadcfg file and force the Azure to forget about manual edits we did via the portal?
We use Azure SDK 1.4.
Thanks in advance for any insights!

Hi Vitaly,
Did you try to change diagnostics configuration in VS? Like this:
I suggest you could click the "Edit", and select your diagnostics metrics. Also, I want you double check your re-deployment project whether is right. Please try it.
By the way, I suggest you could upgrade your SDK version and refer to this sample:

Any question or result, please let me know.

[Desktop] Pre-configured installs

Any suggestions on how to create pre-configured installers of the same base app? Here's an example of what I mean:
App: This base app connects to a configurable server domain. You could install and use this app just fine.
App for ClientX - This app should connect to serverX, and I want to pre-configure it to do so. It may also have custom configured branding for ClientX.
App for ClientY - This app should connect to serverY, etc.
So I want to be able to give ClientX an installer (or install link) that installs the App pre-configured to connect to their serverX, and I want to give ClientY an installer that connects to their serverY, but I want both to be the same application, built from the same codebase, with the same appID and certificate, and receive the same updates, etc.
I've considered using compile constants to create different AIR app versions with populated strings, which I think would work though a bit clunky, but would result in different versions of the app, when what I really want is to have the SAME version configured differently.
What I am currently doing is making a config file that can be shared, so the main app is installed then the client opens the config file with the app (file association makes this relatively easy, but still very manual feeling.) I would essentially like to automate this, so the end user only needs to run the installer.
The next step would be automating this process, so that when ClientZ purchases the app it uses ClientZ's information to provide an installer configured for ClientZ without manual human intervention. You know, for when my app inevitably gets famous and makes me rich.
Any suggestions?
Thanks all!

Well I'm not quite sure this fits your scenario but maybe (assuming your clients install your app from a website)...
You can use the swf (badge) method of installing AIR apps through the browser: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappsflex/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7e15. html
This would give you the ability to pass in arguments into the install process. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappsflex/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118676a5d46-8000. html#WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7e19
Basically you set your air app to "<allowBrowserInvocation>true</allowBrowserInvocation>" and add a listener for the BrowserInvokeEvent(not InvokeEvent)
Do what you want with the parameters (maybe save to a flash shared object) to remember who it was.
Then for distribution, provide a client only page, that passes flash vars into the badge swf, which passes them to the app for install.
I recently used this method in this way. I'm building a video conference app that can send invitations via a URL (videoapp.com?id=abcdefghijklnop).. On that page I have the badge (swf) that recieves that invitation through flash vars. The badge does the install of the AIR app and passes the invitation once it runs.
Note: I had to modify the default badge.swf to include my additional flash vars.
Other than this, I dont know of any way to add arguments to just a regular passed around .air file.

Pre-Configure QT 7 Installation for only specific file types

Is there an 'ini' or similar configuration file or command line option set I can use to pre-configure QT7 to only associate with specific file types?
I want to leave the associations for Media Player intact and have QT handle only MOV and other Apple-specific file types.

Basic answer. No.
You set file associations after the install of QuickTime.
Most of it's adjustments and options are found in its Control Panel. Here you can set associations for MIME types that control the browser plug-in.
Each user can set their own values.

Pre Configured Repositories

Hi,
I have just started working in MDM and facing initial hiccups.
In my earlier version of MDM ie SP3 , we couldnt see the pre configured repositories(Material,Customer etc) in the MDM Console, but now we have just upgraded from SP3 to SP4 but still those repositories are missing.
I would like to know if there was something missing during installation due to which they havent been imported ????
In SP4 we have the functionality of Importing Repository thus ifa direct link to where I can find them and import them into my Console would be of great help.
Thanks in advance!!!
Regards
Gaurav
