ODBC System DSN's are invisible in teh Data Sources even though they exist

For a long time I had a problem with Windows XP Pro systems that had NI-DAQ installed. These machines were ATE controllers which had Labview applications deployed with NI-DAQ cards. I needed database connectivity through several system DSN's for Access, Pervasive, and SQL server. The problem was that after I installed NI-DAQ all the system DSN's would disappear in the Data Sources control panel in windows. Then if I tried to create them again it would say they were already there. I could actually edit them by name, delete them and recreate them, but they would not appear in the WinXP Data Sources Manager. They would exist, but would be invisible. They actually worked fine from an application perspective, but would be a pain to edit or know if I had set one up or not.
I finally solved it with the help of my network admin and I wanted to post the solution for someone else with the same problem:
I solved the invisible ODBC problem. NI installs an ODBC DSN called Citadel 4. When this is installed it adds its entry via a registry setting. The problem is it changes the "Default" key in HKLM\Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI from "No Value Set" to blank. For some reason, when ODBC Manager reads the list in this key, the blank screws it up. Deleting the Default setting causes the Default setting to be recreated as No Value Set and all appears again.

I got 99 problems but 8.6 ain't one.

I've accidentally answered my own question. I did a Software Update including the combo update to take me to 10.5.8 (Jeez, that took AGES! do all Software Updates in Leopard take that long?) - then I launched Mail and suddenly everything was there - receiving messages, and the mailboxes full of my messages. Perhaps it was a bug in 10.5.6

If you've downloaded them on the iPad then they should be in the Videos app - iTunes on the iPad is just the iTunes store (the Purchased tab shows what content that you can re-download from the store and rentals can't be re-downloaded, and non-rental films can only be re-downloaded in some countries).

After site migration, users are unable to access the site, even though they have permissions, prompted to request access

Not sure whats going on here...
SharePoint WSS3.0 -> SharePoint 2013 Ent
Used ShareGate migration tool.
I migrated the site, and everything appears to be in place as expected. Users and groups are all assigned just like before.
But when users try to access the new site, they are prompted to request access.
Some users are in AD groups, that are in SharePoint groups, and some users are direct members of SharePoint groups. So far it seems to be groups with read or contribute access. The owners seem to be able to access the site fine.
This makes no since...?
Any ideas?

Thanks, I think I may have found the issue... But it still odd, and I am still verifying if it is in fact the issue.
The old site has a visitors group, that contains an AD security group.... But that AD security group contains a DL. I know that's a problem... But it should also be a problem in the source site. (but its not)
Only thing I can imagine is that at some point the user had direct access, and it was changed to AD group. And then AD group was changed, and somehow SharePoint just didn't catch on.... (just a guess)
In any case, I am having the users added to the AD security group to see if that works.
But I will check out your script if that doesn't work.
Thanks!

I just upgraded to iPhoto 11. My events are not sorted in date order even though I have chose it to under the view tab????

I cannot get my photos in date order in iPhoto 11 What can I do to remedie this?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

CCC or Disk Utility to clone a Mac HD of one new iMac to another, over ThunderBolt, we are getting I/O errors. Even though the clone fails, the destination system does boot and log in, however, the logins take a very very very long time.

When using CCC (Carbon Cophy Cloner) or Disk Utility to clone a Mac HD of one new iMac to another, over ThunderBolt, we are getting I/O errors. Even though the clone fails, the destination system does boot and log in, however, the logins take a very very very long time.
Thoughts.
Edit: Already ran Disk Utility. Also reinstalled a fresh OS on top of the cloned OS and it seemed to remedy the problem. Then, cloned to next machine in the row of the lab. Same problem.

OK, by that I assume that you used Disk Utility to repair the subject disk and it reported "The volume (name) appears to be OK" in green.
Also verify you followed the instructions here: http://help.bombich.com/kb/usage-scenarios/i-want-to-clone-my-entire-hard-drive- to-a-new-hard-drive-or-a-new-machine
If so, the Thunderbolt connection begins to look suspicious.
Reinstalling OS X subsequent to the "clone" operation may be an acceptable workaround but you should not have had the I/O errors you describe, nor should the login times (subsequent to the initial login, that is) be unacceptably long. It calls into question the integrity of all the information that was transferrred.
I'll try to attract the attention of a CCC expert who will likely provide more competent assistance. You can also try the Bombich support site: http://help.bombich.com

Data source 80BP_ID does not exists in source system

Hi All,
I have just started with standard content for SD module.
I activated my datasources 2lis_11_vaitm and 2lis_12_vcitm in my R3 system.
After replicating these data sources in my BI system i went to BI Content to activate my Info sources.
While installing info sources 2lis_11_vaitm and 2lis_12_vcitm i got errors namely
Data source 80BP_ID does not exists in source system
Datasource 80BP_REL not maintained.
Can somebody pls suggest a way out.
Thanks in advance..

Hi Rohit,
When ever you try to install the SD related Standard business content then it will automatically pick up the CRM related data. the 0BP_ID, these are related to the CRM.
Please uncheck the unrelated objects while installing the STD content.
you can select the option in the grouping as ONLY NECESSARY OBJECTS.

TS4532 My iPhone V will not connect to a Microsoft Exchange server. It says that the User Name or Password are incorrect even though they're not and I can log on directly to Exchange using the web browser. The connection worked until IOS 6.1.2 was Install

My iPhone V will not connect to a Microsoft Exchange server. It says that the User Name or Password are incorrect even though they're not and I can log on directly to Exchange with the same parameters using the web browser.
I bought the phone when it came out last October. The connection did not work at first, then started without warning in December. It worked perfectly for 2 months then stopped again when IOS 6.1.2 was Installed.
Help please!

I have forwarded these questions about the version of Exchange server that is being used and whether Microsoft host the mai themselves to the IT Dept but I will not get a reply from them until tomorrow.
In the meantime I have also tried:
Deleting and re-creating the account AGAIN!
And re-setting the phone (recommended as a solution to a similar problem with an iPad in another forum.
But please remember that:
The phone would not connect for 2 months after I bought it
Then started working unexpectedly in December
Then stopped working again when IOS 6.1.2. was installed
Also why am I the only person affected by this when colleagues with iPhone 3s and 4s who use the same mail system are not (I am still trying to find one with an iPhone V to see if their's works).
Like I said I think that there must be a fault, either with my own phone or with iPhone Vs in general.

Location services don't work even though they are on

My location services do not work even though they are switched on. When I ask Siri something that requires my location it tells me to turn on location services and Siri but they are already on.

For location the iPod uses the location nearby wifi routers that are in Apple's data base. You do not have to be connect to the router.
Thus, it appears that the router the iPod is using does not have the correct location in Apple's database. Apple continuously updates their database based on data it obtains from iPhones. No one has found a way to tell apple to correct/add a wifi router to their database.
To test this, go to another location/another network like Starbucks and see if location work there

Why does Indesign say I have missing fonts even though they are in my packaged document?

I use CS4 on my pc at work, and always package my files, as I have always done on my mac at home, to keep the links and fonts together so that when I send someone a folder, all of the fonts and images work. For some reason, the packaged graphic designs (created on a mac) that are being sent to us from our graphic designer, all of my fonts are lost - even after having purchased the main one that we use - Gotham - to prevent this from happening. This also occurs with any designs that I package and send out to others in our office. I always have to relink the Gotham fonts, and I cannot retrieve the formatting for the fonts that we don't have, even though they are packaged.
We are considering purchasing a mac for me to use in the office, but I'd like to make sure that it is not user error before we proceed.
Any ideas would be wonderful. I never had this problem with my mac at home with packaging, and it has me confused and frustrated at work.
Thanks!

Since CS6 is the current release, upgrading to CS5 is a near impossibility, and EVERYONE will need to upgrade in lockstep or you'll be worse off than you are now with users of your newer version creating files that cannot be opened by users of CS4 (and your CS4 packages won't automatically install the fonts in the documents in the later versions without manually changing the names of the packaged fonts folders).
As far as font formats, if you are going to collaborate cross-platform, the font of choice is OpenType, which is 100% cross-platform compatible, and second choice is Windows TrueType which also can be installed on Mac OS X (so, essentially, also cross-platform). Last choice would be to use Windows Type1 which can be installed in the private InDesign Fonts folder in the Mac applications folder and will work in ID, but nowhere else. Any of these would allow everyone to use the same fonts, presuming you all purchase the same versions. Purchasing Windows versions and Mac versions of the same font usually works, but there may be little surprises, and you probbly don't want that.

I made a movie in iMovie then deleted the clips in it. I have reimported the clips in an event with the same name as previously and some clips in the movie are still saying source slip missing even though they are there. What can I do?

I made a movie in iMovie then deleted the clips in it. I have reimported the clips in an event with the same name as previously and some clips in the movie are still saying source slip missing even though they are there. Some clips are fine in the movie, but most are just black and when I hover over them, it says source clip missing. How to I fix this? Thank You

I did that too, then I did a migration assistant to a new Mac and ALL of my movies have Source Clip Missing now, even though the original clips are still in the iPhoto Videos. I can stand to re edit one or two projects, but not ALL.

I was not complete clear.
Since you never changed the settings in the advanced section of iTunes preferecnes, you have to chech that your music is really in the location setted in the folders reported in the advanced section. If not you have 2 ways: reset the position of this folders or in the actual disk organisation or in the pointing on the preferences.
If you press the reset button you just give to itunes its default setting as for the position of the music files: probably this will be a good choice if you have never changed any default preference.
But before I would check the folders and see if the songs are really there
In my iTune I have this, and I believe it is the default.

I just used stellar phoenix mac data recovery and it seemed to work but now my files won't open. Even though they are "jpeg, mov" files the error message is could not be opened. The movie's file format isn't recognized. " Any help or are they corrupted

I just used stellar phoenix mac data recovery and it seemed to work but now my files won't open. Even though they are "jpeg, mov" files, the error message is "could not be opened". The movie's file format isn't recognized. " Any help or are they corrupted?

Sounds to me like the file is probably corrupt. If you had hard drive corruption or damage, that could easily result in recovered files not being fully intact. If you were trying to recover accidentally deleted files, it's possible they might have been partially overwritten before recovering. There are never any guarantees with file recovery.
Without more information on the circumstances that led you to try recovery, it's hard to give advice on what to try from here. You could always try another file recovery tool, like Data Rescue 3. Just be sure you're taking appropriate precautions when doing recovery. See Recovering deleted files.
