No more spotlight in itunes after rebuilding the itunes database

Hello,
My itunes library have been damaged, and thanksfully, itunes has rebuilt it from the xml files... But the spotlight box in the top right of itunes does not work anymore...
The synthesis of the following is that it seems something happens in the rebuilt of the database , that makes in no more correctly seen for the spotlight searches...
Do you have any clue about it... I feel I have tried everything !!!
I have looked in many places on the web before posting that post, I guess I have turn around a lot... Without any solution...
More precisely, the symptoms are the followings :
_ I can still -in the top right search box of itunes- look after ONLY artist, album... and the results are correct
_ but when looking after anything else that is in the other fields (with the search positionned to « ALL ») it seems that spotlight do not search anymore in these other fields... And I get no results ! In fact I have put many infos into the « grouping » field, these infos are no more seen.
I have done the following to try to sort that out :
_ Of course reboot
_ rebuild the spotlight index...
_ I have found a way to force a rebuild of itunes library : (http://hifiblog.com/past/2006/05/11/howto-move-your-itunes-music-while-preservin g-library-data-when-you-dont-let-itunes-manage-your-music-library/) which I have used from the xml file using the part 2 of that post : same result after a force rebuilt !
Happily I have found a very old library (more than 6 months, and I have made so many changes from that time...). With that library :
_ the search is correctly done with ALL the fields....
_ but if I rebuild from the old xml, the spotlight search is again done with ONLY the artist, album and WITHOUT ALL the fields !!!
Then clearly something seems to come from the rebuilt itself !!! What could be done ????
Big thanks
Jean Christophe
A have upgraded today, but I was previouly in 10.6.4 and itunes 10.0.1 : same problems !

Well... No help... ?
This pb is really very ennoying, as I sort all mu music with what I have put in the "comment" field... adn itunes doen't any more use that field from the top right spotlight search... Is there anything to do around that ?

How do I stop Excel from trying to rebuild the Outlook database when I try to open a .xls file?

Using Office 2011. When I try to open a .xls or .docx file, Excel or Word wants to rebuild the Outlook database. I do not have Outlook installed.
The file will open if I dismiss the Outlook query popup, and double click on the same file I just tried to open.
Works fine, just irritating.

Open Mail, then open Preferences (command-comma), and on the "General" pane the top entry is "Default email reader." Choose Mail (6.3) from the box.
Now all mailto: links will open Mail by default. If you ever want to set another mail client as the default, choose it in that box.

The password file is getting corrupted after rebooting the standby database

Hi,
The password file is getting corrupted after rebooting the standby database.
Since the databases are not in sync, I had to copy the pwfile from primary to standby to make 'em sync.
(BUT.... the pwfile is not getting corrupted every time I reboot the standby by)
Could somebody please explain the reason for the pwfile on the standby database getting corrupted while rebooting ?

How do you rebuild the Cache database?

What are the steps to rebuild the Cache database? Thanks!

The right answer is to log a case with Cisco support to get official steps.
What we do here (an Oracle DB):
- bring down CM
- make an export of TES schema (optional)
- run the clearcache.sql script (in the ../cache/tes6.0.0.0/cachesql.zip) to drop schema objects.
- verify that sql ran correctly and scheme is indeed empty
- restart the CM - in our case it takes 2 - 2.5 hrs for cache to be rebuilt (the secondary sync completed to show up)

More than one Portal instance on the same database

Is it possible to have more than one Portal instance on the same database?

Yes this is possible. We have run 2 separate portal instances on our test database successfully.

Rebuilding the Kerberos Database

Hi,
recently I'm experiencing some error messages in our OpenDirectory Log about Kerberos missconfiguration.
Q.1) So I'd need to rebuild the Kerberos Database from scratch out of the LDAP Database. But how do I do that in Lion Server ???
Q.2) So old Mac Client won't logon the Lion Server anylonger. There seems so be a POSIX "homedirectory" attribute missing. How do I reconfigure the system to fix that ?
Thanks in advance.

I have a RMAN backup which has been copied to another server and I am required to rebuild the database there.
Is this possible?YES
and this is how my oracle rman backup looks like
RUN {
crosscheck backup;
crosscheck archivelog all;
backup database format='e:\Oracle_Backup_data\DB\%U_%I_%T.bkp' tag="everyday_full_bkup"
plus archivelog format='d:\Oracle_Backup_data\DB\Arch%U_%I_%T.arc' tag="arcbkp";
backup current controlfile;
restore database validate;
}No issues with Script, You can perform DUPLICATE from target database to AUXILIARY Instance.

SBS 2008 - How to rebuild the reporting database

I'd like to start using the inbuilt reporting facilities in SBS2008. But when I start up the console and click on "Reports", although I am taken to the SBS2008 console's reports screen, a couple of seconds later, the following error message
is displayed:
"There was an error while loading data for this page".
When I click "Close" to close the error message, I'm left looking at the console's reports screen but with nothing shown. The top pane simply says:
"There are no reports to display".
So, I then click on "Add a new report" in the right-hand pane. Nothing happens for a couple of minutes - not even an hour glass. Eventaully, a window opens up, headed "New Report Properties". So, I had a go at creating
a new report, e.g.:
- Report Name = Test123
- Content = Summary
- E-Mail Options = I entered my email address
- Schedule = I set it to daily at 9pm
When I clicked "Ok", after a couple more minutes of thinking, it came back with:
"The report properties cannot be saved. Reopen the Report Properties dialog, and then try again."
I don't know how to tackle this issue. I administer the network here but don't know SQL Server - and we don't have any SQL Server applications of our own - just the inbult ones like WSUS.
If there is a problem with the actual reporting database, I'd be happy to rebuild it, or even reinstall SQL. But I don't know how. My main concern is that WSUS is running beautifully and I don't want to go anywhere near anything that might
break it. I would rather have no reports than lose WSUS.
Could someone point me to some step-by-step instructions aimed at someone who knows Windows Server (to an extent) and SBS2008 - but has no knowledge of SQL Server?

I worked through the article but hit problems.  Any thoughts would be gratefully received.
Here's what happened:
1. I checked that SQL Server 2005 is installed and that Windows SBS Manager is installed and started
2. I looked for "SQLServer (SBSMONITORING)" in the list of services but it is completely missing
I then followed the section headed "If necessary, create a new SBSMonitoring database". This takes one to another article:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2011/08/22/how-to-recreate-the-sbsmonitoring-database.aspx.
I followed the instructions, which included downloading Create-SBSMonitoringDb.ps1 and running it in an administrative Power Shell. When I ran it, I got a load of errors.

If you have read this far and understand the above, what should I do next?

A package detection script to help rebuild the local database.

At this point this is a quick "proof of principle" script inspired by this thread.
This will download file lists for the specified repos and then check them against files on your system. It will then print a percentage for each package that indicates how many of that package's files were found on your system. Note that it ignores directories as that would lead to loads of partial false positives.
The idea is that it should provide a decent starting point for rebuilding the local package database. You can safely run it on your system to see the output as it doesn't change anything.
The script depends on Perl and curl. You should change the "$url" variable to a local mirror (I've used archlinux.org along with "`arch`" as relatively failsafe default). You can also add or remove repos from the "@repos" array.
Again, this is just something that I threw together to see if it works and it's very much a "hands-on" script right now. I might flesh it out and try to add more features later. Note that it cannot determine which packages were installed as dependencies (although I posted a script somewhere on the forum that could explicitly install only top-level packages, which could probably be merged into this if it goes anywhere). It is also limited to repos that contain <repo>.files.tar.gz.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use File::Temp qw/tempdir/;
my $url = 'ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/$repo/os/' . `arch`;
chomp $url;
my @repos = qw/core extra community/;
my $tmpdir = tempdir(CLEANUP=>1);
foreach my $repo (@repos)
my $files_url = $url;
$files_url =~ s/\/\$repo\//\/$repo\//;
$files_url .= '/' . $repo .'.files.tar.gz';
`cd "$tmpdir" && curl "$files_url" | bsdtar -xf-`;
opendir(my $dh, $tmpdir) or die;
my @pkgs = readdir($dh);
close($dh);
my $l = 0;
foreach my $pkg (@pkgs)
my $i = length($pkg);
$l = $i if $i > $l;
foreach my $pkg (sort @pkgs)
next if ($pkg eq '.' or $pkg eq '..');
my @files = ();
if (open(my $fh, '<', $tmpdir .'/'. $pkg .'/files'))
while (defined(my $line = <$fh>))
chomp $line;
next if $line eq '%FILES%' or substr($line,-1) eq '/';
push @files, '/' . $line;
close($fh);
my $n = scalar @files;
next if $n == 0;
my $i = 0;
foreach my $file (@files)
$i++ if -f $file;
printf("%-${l}s %3d%%\n", $pkg, 100*$i/$n);
else
print "error: failed to open $tmpdir/$pkg/files\n";
Example output:
perl-xml-xpath-1.13-4 0%
perl-xmms-0.12-4 0%
perl-xyne-arch-0.95-1 100%
perl-xyne-common-0.05-3 100%
perl-yaml-0.70-1 0%

Thanks for the feedback, tavianator.
Which false positives did it detect? Were they variants of installed packages?
I think the false negatives are due to packages which manipulate their own files during or after installation. They should still show up in the list though, albeit with a lower percentage. I don't think there's any way to work around that.

How do you rebuild the font database?

Thanks,

Hi Mohammed,
is this a cut-out from the alert.log DURING the upgrade?
How did you do the upgrade - DBUA or with catupgrd.sql?
Has the archivelog mode switched off during the upgrade?
Does the archiver start up again (do an 'archive log list' in SQL*Plus)?
Thanks and regards

Can I force quit iphoto while it is rebuilding the library database?

I have my iphoto library database and application on an external drive. I did this because I have over 20 thousand photos and I wanted to conserve space on my MacBook Pro. I bumped the connection and the computer decided on its own to rebuild the iphoto library. I was worried that something was wrong so I let it do its thing. It has been spinning for over 8 hours. The message reads ... rebuilding library 22902 versions restored
What do I do?

Well I would let it finish. Though if that number hasn't changed then the process may be hung. so you'll have no choice but to force quit.
What format is the external drive?
If the force quit is necessary you can redo the rebuild yourself - what version of iPhoto do you have?

What does rebuild the library database do?

I'm thinking this may help solve my issue.

Straight from the source
iPhoto 4 or later: Rebuilding the iPhoto Library
"iPhoto has an undocumented feature that allows you rebuild the currently selected iPhoto library. Sometimes rebuilding the library can make it readable if it seems to be unreadable, has multiple missing photos, or if there are other issues related to reading the iPhoto library structure.
iPhoto 4 or later allows you to rebuild the active iPhoto Library. This might be useful if the library has missing photos, appears to be unreadable, or exhibits other issues that seem related to the iPhoto library structure.
Warning: Because some data or photos may not be recovered during the rebuild, you should back up your existing iPhoto Library folder, which is located in your Pictures folder, before using the rebuild feature."

SBS 2011 VM and Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V host. After rebuilding the host image, no email is received, EMC states "You don't have sufficient permissions to view this data" when looking at organization config. Server config not shown on EMC.

Hyper-V Host Server 2012 R2 x64 drive c:
All VMs, including SBS 2011 Standard x64 are on drive d:
I replaced my motherboard and defined a Marvell RAID 1 Mirror for my boot drive C:. My drive D: containing all of my Hyper V machines remained untouched since the new MB had Intel Matrix Controller with RAID 5, as did the old MB.
Since the C: drives are a few bytes smaller after configured as a RAID 1, I was unable to restore drive C from the image copy, so I rebuilt a new Hyper-V Host identical as possible using Server 2012 R2 x64. I had to redefine the Hyper-V machines on
the host, and the 1st time I brought it all (host and VMs) I had to reconfigure the NICs due to new MAC addresses, and verifying SBS 2011 DNS and DHCP for all physical and Hyper-V machines. Otherwise my Hyper-V SBS 2011 x(64) wasn't touched.
Now the SBS Exchange 2010 is not receiving mail. In the Exchange Management Console clicking on the Organization config gives me a highlighted error "You don't have sufficient permissions to view this data". The Server
Config is no longer on the EMC. The Recipient Config looks fine.
Outlook 2013 x64 connects to the Exchange Server, but no new mail appeared. There were just a few older messages that came in since the last time I opened Outlook. My public DNS on GoDaddy was not changed. I did not change sending mail
through my ISP Sonic.net. The SBS internal DNS doesn't have an MX record, but I'm not sure it ever did since my GoDaddy public DNS has an MX record.
I tried restoring to an earlier Image Copy, but that made no difference. I'm using the Windows Backup from SBS 2011 for my daily image copy backups.

Hi Michael,

After more research and running the Best Practices report from the EMC, I am missing a slew of ManagementRolesAndRoleGroups from the RBAC container.
Based on your description, it seems that you have find the cause of this issue. On current situation, I still
suggest that you should run
SBS 2011 BPA and then check if can find some relevant errors. Just for a confirmation.
Meanwhile, please refer to following articles and check if can help you.
Apply

Hope this helps.

How can I rebuild the iPhoto database?

Twice I have received message about my thumbnails and permissions needed to be worked on. The first time the "Genius" did a "rebuild" and that worked for a while. How do I do a rebuild?

The format is the drive - to have the iphoto library on it it must be Mac OS extended (journaled) - in the finder fight click on the drive and get info - the info window gives the format
And please explain the two new variables you just introduces without giving a single answer to my preious questions
it has a very poor connector.
I have copied all photo's back to the MAC hard drive.
and please answer
What version of iPhoto? Is OS X 10.6.3 as you state correct?
Remember we can not see you nor read your mind - I ask three questions - you have not answer a single one yet - without answers it is not possible to help

Interesting 'problem' after moving the WSUS database

Firstly I have checked the suggested topics but none of them exactly describe the problem I have encountered.
(this link just gives a 'post not found page: http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2009/09/23/how-to-move-sdfssdfdf-content-and-database-files-to-a-different-partition.aspx)
Okay, I have a SBS2011 server running on an HP Proliant server. The server has been dunning flawlessly for the last 2+ years. At deployment the WSUS content was initially located on the D drive. Free space on the C drive has dropped to 16GB and
as a precaution I decided to move the WSUS DB to the D drive too. I stopped the necessary ISS Admin, Update and WWW services and proceeded, using the SQL server management studio, to detach the DB, I moved (copy & paste) the DB to the
new disk and attached it the the SQL SMS. Nothing seemed to go wrong there, however, when opening the SBS console I am missing half of my information. The face that the necessary icons are there leads me to believe that the service is functioning
but just missing the computer info. If I click on a computer icon I can see the correct computer name.
Is there any way to fix this without deleting and reinstalling the entire WSUS service?
Thank you in advance for your time!
Please see the screenshot below
