Problem with FIMSynchronizationService after clone

After cloning an environment and using cliconfg to point to a new database server and using stsadm to rename the application server, the cloned Sharepoint environment isnt working. Trying to access central admin I get a 503 Service unavailable. The
application pool for the SecurityServiceTokenApplication crashes along with central admin, I see the following in event logs.
The following services are managed by SharePoint, but their running state does not match what SharePoint expects: FIMSynchronizationService.
Also:
The server encountered an unexpected error and stopped.
"BAIL: MMS(1588): storeimp.cpp(5896): 0x8023060d (The computer_id in the database does not match this computer.)
BAIL: MMS(1588): storeimp.cpp(482): 0x8023060d (The computer_id in the database does not match this computer.)
BAIL: MMS(1588): server.cpp(388): 0x8023060d (The computer_id in the database does not match this computer.)
BAIL: MMS(1588): server.cpp(3860): 0x8023060d (The computer_id in the database does not match this computer.)
BAIL: MMS(1588): service.cpp(1539): 0x8023060d (The computer_id in the database does not match this computer.)
ERR: MMS(1588): service.cpp(988): Error creating com objects. Error code: -2145188339. This is retry number 0.
An exception occurred when trying to issue security token: The HTTP service located at http://localhost:32843/SecurityTokenServiceApplication/securitytoken.svc/actas is unavailable.
So basically there seems to be an issue with the user profile synchronization after the cloning. Any suggestions?

Cloning isn't supported with SharePoint as cloned servers will point back to the 'production' Configuration database. Unless you've isolated the clones completely from the production network, I would not proceed.
But in this case, you'd have to delete the User Profile Service App and databases, then create a new UPSA.

Need Help Fast! Big Problem with iRecruitment after Clone.

I recently cloned my iRecruitment node (And all other nodes) to new windows server. All the other nodes work fine, no problems. However iRec does not work.
Any help would be great!!!!
These are the problem I am having.
I can get to the iRecruitment “Visitor Home Page” but that is about it. If I do a search I am routed right back to the “iRecruitment Visitor Home Page”.
"Register today" I get sent back to the "iRecruitment Visitor Home Page”
"iRecruitment Tips" works.
"Login" I get sent back to the "iRecruitment Visitor Home Page”
"forget your password?" I get sent back to the "iRecruitment Visitor Home Page”
"Manage my Account" I go to the "Visitor Login Page" from thier all links send me back to "Visitor
Login Page".
"Conduct Job Search" I go to "Available Jobs" from thier select "City Location" and click "Search" I get sent back to "Available Jobs" with "No s
earch conducted." displayed. The "Advanced Search" button sends me to the "Avai
lable Jobs >> Advanced Search" page. with no ability to search.
"View Job Basket" I go to "Visitor Job Basket Page" with "No results found"
At the same time I also cloned onto a new set of Test servers and those work fine.

If I use the “nvciebizirec.nvci.org:80” name the iRec application works just fine from my intranet. When I change these values below to use the name needed to be used externally “irecruitment.nevadacancerinstitute.org:80” iRec fails to work, I get to the "iRecruitment Visitor Home Page" but nothing works. I get kicked back to the "i Recruitment Visitor Home Page".

Problem with Java after Software Update to 10.5.7

Hi,
I am facing problem with Java after having run Software upgrades.
Here is the whole story. I recently moved to iMac 10.5.6 from PowerPc 10.4. On this new machine I was having problem running a 3rd party application, which requires JVM. As this application worked well on Tiger, I decided to upgrade JVM on my iMAC using Software Upgrade(was I insane!!). As I like my systems to be updated (as with linux on my personal machine) I clicked "install all". As a result I have the following upgrades run on my machine:
2009-05-20 13:12:01 +0200: Installed "Mac OS X Update Combined" (10.5.7)

Hi man,
In the wake of this java problem I resorted to keep working on my old machine, and today in my spare time I tried to fix this new machine.
So I execute $java on prompt, and then try to check the files it has opened, using lsof -p pid
I see it referring to
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Home/bin/java
isn't this usually the JAVA_HOME
However, executing $/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Home/bin/java
hangs!!
but
$/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home/bin/java
works!!
$ pwd
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6/Home/bin
$ ./java -version

Linking my Current and CurrentJDK to 1.6 and it works!
However, shall that be the reason!
what is in your /Versions/Current/
I got the following
$ ls /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current

There is no /Home in here, which is usually the case for /1.5 or /1.6
Anyways, things seems to work for the moment. Lets see if I get problem with using Java.

Problems with Mail after upgrading to 10.9.1

I am running into problems with Mail after installing 10.9.1. I had NO problems with Mail prior to this update.
Problems I have encountered so far are:
- I don't receive some e-mails on my Gmail account.
- I have sent e-mails that supposedly got "sent" but do not show up in my Sent box both on mail and on web Gmail. My Outbox is empty also.
Has anyone encountered the same problems and found a solution?
Thanks in advance!

Yes Paul I have, but no solution. I cannot send email. My ISP uses a smtp mail server for sending and It will not log in. Have had ISP on phone and checked all settings. Can only put it down to Mavericks.
It worked OK for a week after upgrading then stopped. So now having to use web mail to send email.
Strange thing is I receive mail OK, just cant send.

HT1589 problems with itunes after updating..can't locate some of my songs..some have an exclamation point beside them how do i get these songs back in my itunes

I'm having problems with itunes after updating. I've lost all my playlists,,finally played around with it and got the songs back but some have an exclamation point beside them and can't be located. they are songs i've purchased. I'm not very computer literate so this is a major problem. I have spent hours with this. I just want all my songs to play even though I'm not happy that I have to recreate my playlists. It would be so much easier if I knew and understood how to correct this. Has anyone else had this problem and if so..is there an easy way to correct it?

Not sure how this is an ipod touch question.
Perhaps you should post in the itunes forum.

Hi were you able to resolve yours?
I was very worried losing all my medical stuff on my iPad Air 2, plus i have nothing to use for the next day! So i have to try all the possible things i read on the internet!! And this worked on my part (Thank God, and thank you Google)
Perform a hard reboot
Hold down the Home button and Power button on your iPhone or iPad and keep holding them until you see the Apple logo. Once you do, you can let go. When your device boots back up, go ahead and check to see if the apps have started re-downloading. If they still appear to be stuck, continue on.

Problems with Macbook after Software Update

I haven't updated my Macbook in a long time, so I decided it was time I probably did. Software Update had updates for iTunes, Quicktime, and a 2009-Security Update. Everything seemed to be going okay. After the downloading and installing finished, it said the Security Update couldn't be installed and moved it to the trash. Then it prompted me to restart my computer because the other two installed okay.
After restart, when my computer started back up, my Macbook is messed up. The doc is missing. I open a finder window, and it shows the main folders, but all the things on the right (where it shows the drive, applications, and such) is missing. I tried to back up my files, but it can't even read there is a blank disc inserted (keeps asking me to insert a blank disc). And it wont let me shut down my computer, or restart it. I click restart, and it seems like it accepts it, but it just doesn't do anything. The dashboard wont show up when you hit F12. This mac is all messed up.
I don't know what happened here, all I installed was iTunes and Quicktime from the Software Update (security update didn't install), and all this happened. Any idea what happened and how I can fix this?
I'm using Mac OSX Tiger 10.4.11.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
There's a variety of things you could try, but first as to why it is doing this. Probably your drive was slightly corrupted. If it was minor you might not have noticed it, but when the updates tried to install, the whole thing compounded and led to a whole bunch of things missing.
First, try to repair your drive. Boot from the System installer disc that came with your computer or is the one for the version you currently have on there, select language if applicable, choose utilities, run Disk Utility and verify (and repair if necessary) the drive. You can verify a drive from DU on your main drive while booted but I have found this can result in incorrect reporting of errors. To repair your drive you have to run it from a drive other than the boot drive anyway.
Next, boot from your drive in [Safe Mode|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393] and repair permissions. You can repair permissions while booted from the installer disc but this uses the permissions configuration on the installer disc which may be out of date if you have run any updates on your computer. Booting your computer to Safe Mode restricts the number of things running on your computer while permissions are being run and does a bit of spring cleaning at the same time.

[Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751]
+Summary of above from BDaqua+ (couldn't have said it better):
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer (Edit: Do not use this disc if it is not the same general version as what you have currently on your computer, e.g. use a Tiger disc for a Tiger drive, not a Panther disc), then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
Then Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes."
Report back after you have done this. It may be that you have to use a more powerful utility such as Diskwarrior.
Once the drive is repaired you can try re-applying the two updates, though often it takes a full archive and install, plus re-application of all updates, to get everything working again.

Finally, on updating:
Updating
Certain steps appear to minimize the risk of an update producing problems.
Number one is to make sure you have a bootable clone backup of your computer in case you do need to back out of it again. This is the only guaranteed way of not having to worry about the results of an update.
Some like to boot from their installer discs or an external backup and verify (and if necessary repair) their internal drives as well as drive permissions. This is done with Disk Utility. You can verify a drive while booted from the same drive but sometimes this produces spurious errors. Repairing a drive (if necessary) has to be done while booted from another disk.

I like to download the update onto my computer and install it from there rather than let Software Update do it. I know a few people who had problems with doing the update via software updater found a manual install to work.
Repair permissions again afterward.
It helps to only install one update at a time and to run the computer for a while to make sure it is behaving well.
The more cautious even like to unplug third party peripherals (see [comment by BDaqua|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9040746#9040746]).
Almost all of the above steps (except backup) have been questioned (e.g., [Permissons repair|http://www.macworld.com/article/52220-3/2006/08/repairpermissions.html] as to necessity. Probably many people have done successful updates without doing them. I say they can't hurt, they can very likely do good (especially if your computer isn't regularly maintained), so why not do them to be safe?

Problems with codepage after refreshing data from XML

Hello,
I've created a dashboard with XML connection.
XML file with new data is created via macro in INPUT.xls Excel file. This INPUT.xls file was created through exporting spreadsheet from Xcelsius and then adding a macro to it, so text data should be this same codepade. Generated XML through macro have no errors and Flash file gets numeric data with no problems.
But there is other problem with text's codepage. After reload there are some unidentified symbols in place of polish alphabet letters.
What should I do to make it right? Is this a problem with codepage or something else?

Problems with mail after every shutdown

I posted a few days ago when mail kept crashing following the security update (probably due to me not closing all applications before installing).
I managed to get mail working again by resetting the junk mail filter.
However, since then I have had problems with mail every time I restart my computer. Every morning, it mail crashes when I open it. I have fixed it a few times by quickly deleting select messages from my inbox before it crashes, but today I can't even do that. Resetting junk mail filter doesn't seem to work now. It's weird because once I get mail open I can close/open with no problem. I only have problems again after I have shutdown the computer.
I verified the start up disk and permissions - there were no problems there - and I also checked for corrupted fonts (I have been reading all the suggestions posted on this site to people having similar problems).
The console log reads:
Jun 1 09:40:34 su-pwbk crashdump[218]: Mail crashed

As I said in the other thread, in your case Mail was crashing because of a problem with Address Book, so it should be no surprise that resetting the junk filter didn’t really fix the problem. It would have been more appropriate to post back there instead of starting a new thread...
If Address Book itself works fine, the problem is probably the Previous Recipients list that Mail stores in the Address Book database. If you can do this without Mail crashing, in Mail open Window > Previous Recipients and remove all the entries from there.
If that doesn’t work, you’ll have to re-create the entire Address Book database:
1. If you have a .Mac account and .Mac synchronization of Address Book data is enabled either in Address Book > Preferences > General or in System Preferences > .Mac, disable it before proceeding.
2. You may also need to reset the entire sync history (iSync > Preferences > Reset Sync History) to avoid synchronization issues if you use .Mac or iSync to synchronize your Address Book with other computers or devices.
3. Open Address Book.
4. As an extra safety measure, do File > Back up Address Book and save the backup wherever you wish.
5. Go to Address Book > Preferences > vCard, set the vCard Format to 3.0 and check Export notes in vCards. Close the Preferences window when done.
6. Select the All group in the main Address Book window and do File > Export Group vCard (the command should read “Export Group vCard”, not just “Export vCard”).
7. Quit Address Book, Mail, and any other applications that might use Address Book for something. Or just quit all applications to be on the safe side.
8. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Application Support/ and move the entire AddressBook folder out of there, e.g. to the Desktop (to be deleted after fixing the problem and making sure you don’t miss anything).
9. Check whether the problem is fixed now. If it is, you may be able to restore your contacts without the problem happening again by opening Address Book and doing File > Import > vCards to import the previously exported cards back into Address Book.
10. If the problem has been fixed and .Mac synchronization of Address Book data was enabled at the beginning, enable it again, go to System Preferences > .Mac > Advanced, click Reset Sync Data, and choose the appropriate options to reset the Address Book data stored on the .Mac server with the data locally stored on the computer, i.e. sync data must flow from the computer to the .Mac server.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

Wifi problem with Mac after upgrade to Mavericks

I just upgraded to Mavericks but something wrong with my wifi.
i can get internet through LAN link from Airport but not through wifi even i can receive an IP address
i tried connect to hotspot with my iphone5s and it works.
Other devices can use wifi just fine through Airport, just not my Mac using Mavericks
In conclusion,
Airport should be fine because my other devices works.
Mac wifi should be fine too because i can connect using hotspot.
so why it's not working when i connect Mac to Airport?

I was having problems connecting to Wifi with my Macbook Pro (!2010), after upgrading to Mavericks. I was on the phone repeateadly with AT&T because I have Uverse. Testing everything (channels, signal strength) and had techs come out to check the line, ports, switches, etc. When I hardwired the Mac into the Uverse router, it worked fine. This rulled out any problems with the line in.
I considered getting a repeater but then I read that repeaters are not really good and it is better to reconfigure a router to act as an access point on the network. Plunked down about $80 for a Belkin AC750 router at Best Buy. In the setup it has an option to set it up as an access point only. Clicked that, connected it to my Motorola NVG510 Uverse modem and then connected to the Belkin router from my Mac. Voila! It's been a solid 11+ Mbs ever since (my plan maxes at 12Mbs). Connection is still solid and life if good even though it ***** to plunk down another $80 for a second router. But it was worth it just to get rid of the headaches.
I think the wifi capabilities of the Motorola NVG510 modem are the cause of a lot of problems with AT&T Uverse issues, particularly for Mac owners. I think it was also causing my Airport Expresses to drop occasionally.... Few minutes of music then drop... music drop.... All gone now.
I don't know if you are on Uverse but if so, I highly recommend configuring a second router as an acces point (it can be any old router you still might have - the setup is just a bit trickier because you have to do it manually).
Good luck.
