Stickies Always Rolls Back on Launch

Every time I quit Stickies and relaunch it, a couple of old notes that I discarded and closed open up again, and none of my new notes open. What's going on?

Open a Finder window. Navigate to the Library folder in your home folder. There you should find a file named "StickiesDatabase". Select it, and choose "Get Info" from the contextual menu or the File menu. In the "General" section of the info dialog, there are two checkboxes labeled "Stationery pad" and "Locked". If either of them is checked, uncheck it. In the "Sharing & Permissions" section, you should see the words "You can read and write". If you don't see that, click the lock icon in the lower right corner of the dialog. Enter your admin login when prompted. Give yourself read & write privileges for the file. Close the dialog and try again.
If you still can't save your notes, save them as text files on the Desktop. Quit Stickies, then move the database file to the Trash. Launch Stickies again. Create a new note and see whether you can save it.

  • Roll back issues elements 9

    Hello,
    I have used elements 9 many times, but when I tried to use it today both photoshop elements and all my adobe ver 7 and 9 came up with asking me to accept the license agreement. I did and it would not open any program in adobe except CS2, Acrobat 8 and Adobe reader.
    I tried to install ver 9 and it would not or at least it still shows up in windows uninstall, but when you try to uninstall it say the program does not exist.
    I tried to install ver 9 and it always rolled back the install. I do have the log file, but I do not understand what it is telling me.
    Help would be appreciated.

    Yes I tried the ASA and had looked at the second link before and I just don't see where it would lead me. At the end where the summary is it shows no errors, but I don't know if that means no roll back errors or what?
    The second link to the Adobe document leads you to looking through the entire installation log for "Return code: 3" listings and how to search the Adobe Knowlege base for clues about that specific error.  That's a good question about the error summary -- the body of the log would have more specific details about what is happening in the entire process.

    Do you or another person in the forum have knowledge of what the log is saying.
    I haven't used the installation log to troubleshoot problems, so all I can say is what the Adobe document says:  the log will show failed installation components so one can do further research on the cause of that component failing.

    That's the part that bothers me the most, because it suggests a larger system problem.  If you've already used the MS Fixit utility:
    http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
    and still have those invalid entries, I'm afraid that the system is corrupted and that is what's causing your PSE installation problem.
    My approach would be to first get the system problem sorted out, instead of possibly wasting a lot of time in the details of the PSE installation log.

  • Report Action in JMS Proxy gets rolled back

    I am using the report action to do auditing in my proxies. To date this has worked well for both successful and error transactions.
    However when using a jms proy the report actions get rolled back. They actually didn't get rolled back when I was using the test console, but when the data comes from the queue they do.
    Is there a way to change this behaviour so that the report is always separate from the main transaction?
    Could this be a pointbase issue and will it have a differnt result using Oracle?
    Thanks,
    Ryan

    You can always write your own implementation of a reporting provider, overriding teh default report action. I once made a post about this: http://forums.bea.com/thread.jspa?threadID=400001303
    By using a custom implementation you can meet your own company's specific reporting requirements.
    If you want to stick with out-of-box report action:
    - Pointbase can be tricky, best to test with oracle.
    - It depends on the jdbc driver used, ie XA or non-XA.

  • Apple Mobile Device Service installation rolls back

    Hey there,
    I've been having problems installing iTunes 9 or even 8 on my computer. While running the iTunes setup, part of the installation rolls back and when I launch iTunes after that, I get the message saying that
    "This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install iTunes again."
    However, the installation doesn't work no matter how many times i reinstall it. I've fully uninstalled everything related to apple and used the microsoft's utility to check if they were properly uninstalled before reinstalling itunes, but I still got the same message.
    I found out that Apple Mobile Device Service was not installed and that was the problem. When i extracted AppleMobileDeviceService.msi from the iTunes installer and ran it, it rolled back too. So I used the /l*v command to create an installation log and this is the error.

    I have recently been fighting my system to get itunes to recognise my iphone and i ran into a similar problem.
    I couldnt uninstall the old version of apple mobile device support, and installing the new itunes over the top did not seem to help either.
    But i found a work around.
    Try opening the itunes.exe install package with winrar. (www.winrar.com, its a free program) and then extracting only the applemobiledevicesupport.exe file.
    Reboot your system, run that file and then reboot again.
    It should work.
    If it doesnt, then good luck to you :P

  • Glitches in address fill-ins with nicknames; default font problem; plus other glitches in Thunderbird 31.3.0 and 31.4.0; can I roll back to an earlier version?

    I am unhappy with the recent upgrade to Thunderbird 31.3.0 and now 31.4.0. My bottom line question is whether I can roll back to the previous version, which was working well for me.
    The problems I have encountered include:
    1. I used to be able to enter a single letter in many cases in the address field, and the autocomplete would fill in the entry that I always use with that single letter. That function has been lost, as has auto fill-in based on the nicknames I have entered in my Address Book. I see there is another thread on this problem (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1036962), but no satisfactory answer so far. Entering a single letter now pulls up completely unrelated address entries that may not even have that letter as part of the name, address or nickname for that unrelated address. I have created new nicknames to try to adapt to this problem, but even these new nicknames no longer work with the 31.4.0 upgrade yesterday, forcing me to create yet more complex and hard-to-remember nicknames to pull up my frequent addressees. This is all very frustrating to me, as I depend on speed and ease when creating messages.
    2. Also, I used to be able to enter a single letter in the address field and then use the mouse to click on the "To:" symbol to the left of the next address line to change the next entry to "Cc:"; doing so would then cause the complete address to fill in in the "To:" address field, and make the next field ready for an entry. That no longer works. If I use that technique, the shortcut that I entered in the first field gets included along with the address (if I'm lucky enough to have the address itself selected now, given the problems I've mentioned above). I now have to press "Enter" in order to get the address in the first field to "take" correctly, and then have to click on the "To:" symbol for the next line as a separate action. Just another inconvenience with the new version.
    3. While still on the subject of addresses, personally I see no reason why the address and subject fields should now be colored blue by default rather than appearing as blank, white fields. I far prefer the old look. And I suspect that changing from the blue color to a nice, clean, white field takes time and computer resources that slow things down.
    4. The default font (Times in my case) no longer "takes" when replying to or forwarding messages. I've checked Tools/Options/Composition, and Times is still shown as my default font. However, when I start to type (in a reply with the original message quoted or in a forwarded message), the result is "Variable Width". In order to get Times, I need to highlight the block of text after typing, including the lead-in to the quoted message or the header of the forwarded message, and select "Times" when "(mixed)" shows up. This is a big pain; I often forget to do so and end up having to edit the Unsent Message (which I check before sending) as New and correct the font.
    5. A minor problem: I rely on the reminder to attach a message which shows up when an "attachment-related" word is entered in the body of the message. It has been a wonderful feature of Thunderbird that has prevented me on many occasions from sending off messages without the attachments. However, in the new versions, even if I have indeed added the attachment, a pop-up comes up on sending the message saying there has been no attachment and asking if I want to add one. It's easy enough to just click "No", but it's yet one more unnecessary and distracting step that this new version is requiring of the user.
    I'm really sad to see these various changes/glitches. I love Thunderbird and it bothers me deeply to find myself mired in so many new problems that slow down my work. I would be grateful for any suggestions and advice, and, particularly, for any information as whether I can roll back to the version prior to 31.3.0 that was working well for me.

    Thank you, Zenos. I tried rolling back to v31.2.0, since I had not encountered problems prior to December. However, that didn't help. So I followed your valuable suggestion to revert to v24.6; that seems to have done the trick.
    I would like to mark this problem as "Solved" -- the rollback seems to have worked. However, since my original post was a complex mix of things, before I do that, should I post the individual problem sets that I had noted (address fields/nicknames problems -- numbers 1-3; default font problem -- number 4; attachment reminder problem -- number 5) as separate issues which have not been solved?
    Do you know if these various issues are being worked on? I'm glad to have the temporary fix of rolling back to an earlier version, but I'd like to get back on the current update schedule at some point if and when these problems have been corrected.
    Thank you again!

  • How Can I Roll Back my iTunes Library?

    I'm guessing it may no tbe possible at all, but here goes.
    What I would like to do with my music estate is roll back my current iTunes library file, automatically updated to iTunes 11 when updated on MPBr when this was my only PC using iTunes. Now I have three and some iOS devices too. My library has been moved from windows machines to macs and is several years old and has received 100s of hours of tweaking to get it just right.
    Now my server is a PowerPC mac and I can only go as far as iTunes 10.6.xx, I want this to be always on and share the library with other PCs accross home sharing (i will sync iPhones over the wi-fi with this PC too, though it may not play with iOS7, so perhaps not).
    I want to see the iTunes library on the macbooks, probably through Home Sharing, I also want to be able to sync the iphones, but only have a single copy of the music files on the server. is this possible? This will just be for when out of the house as I can also use home sharing in the house for music.
    Thanks

    You say you want to do this with multiple devices.  Let's say you have a new iPhone 5 that requires iTunes 11. You will not be able to sync that if your base iTunes is iTunes 10.6 since your hardware will require at least whatever version of iTunes was current at the time of purchase.  You're seeing this with your iOS7 phone.  Anyway, unless all your hardware is old enough to use the lowest version of iTunes you need to run, you may be out of luck.  You cannot share the library.  Sharing media is different, and relatively easy, but it will be complex to ensure all the multiple libraries are kept up to date.
    You also can't roll back iTunes libraries to earlier versions unless you kept a backup of your library from the point to which you wish to revert, or it is still in the previous libraries folder.

  • Itunes 64 bit on windows 7 is unable to install, i have the 64 bit installer version but it keeps saying "errors occurred" at the ( rolling back ) phase. HELP!

    itunes 64 bit on windows 7 is unable to install, i have the 64 bit installer version but it keeps saying "errors occurred" at the ( rolling back ) phase. HELP!!!

    I have the answer and this might be useful for any one else wondering about this in the future. If it helped you or explained what you wanted to know. Replay to the post pls
    It's quite easy actually. First have your "iTunes Library Extras", "iTunes Library Genius", "iTunes Library", and "iTunes Music Library" backed up. Download ans install iTunes 64-bit. I don't know what's so 64-bit about iTunes 64 since Win7 reports it as a 32-bit application in the task manager. But anyway. Install iTunes 64 and launch it. If you migrated your library to another drive like me go to settings in iTunes and change the directory to your location. Close iTunes. Replace the newly created files with your backed up files. Launch iTunes. iTunes will load and then update your library and from there you are set to go! so basically it is just like a normal upgrade. But if you hesitated to go from 32 to 64 like me, here is your answer.
    By the way. I'm using Windows 7 64-bit with iTunes 64-bit and it works without problems and syncing with my iPod Touch also works flawlessly.

  • HT202157 Does anyone else have a problem with the latest Apple TV update?  My Apple TV no longer can load movies from my iTunes library, including ones I've already watched or were watching.  Can I roll back this update, and if so, how?

    After updating my Apple TV, it will no longer load movies from my iTunes library.  Music works, but no movies.  I've turned this puppy every which way but loose, but no joy.  Is there a way to roll back an update?

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

    Recently I noticed that when I change the name of a photo (correcting a mistake) it always goes back to the previous name, keeping the mistake I'm trying to correct. A spelling mistake, for example. As I keep my photos organized by name and not by date, this is very annoying.
    And today it won't even read my camera's sd card, and I try with 2 different ones. If I restart the computer, leaving the memory card in, then it reads it; but if I pull it out and push it back in it doesn't see it. Whath am I doing wrong, if anything?
    Diane

    Where/how are you trying to change the name? If it is in Finder (after you've downloaded the pics to your desktop), highlight the pic icon and press Return. the name field will change and you can type in your new name. Hit Return again. That should make it "stick".  If you're trying to do it elsewhere, please post the steps that you've tried.
    As for your card: do you eject it properly? Either drag icon to trash or hit the eject symbol in the sidebar?

    I updated vietmobile remote files app. this app is broken on iOS 5.1.1 I do not have a backup of the previous version of the (paid) app, how can I roll back to the previous version? Is there a repository of previous versions? Am I boned?
    Seems silly to not allow a rollback from a file repository of previous app versions.

    >All apps are tied to the account that downloaded it, so to be able to sync back the previous version you would need to still have your copy of that version
    I'm not sure I follow, I have not sync'd the ipad with my computer. I just saw an update in the app store and took it.
    I tried to del and install the app from the purchased tab in the app store, that reinstalled v2.1 of the app. This also fails to launch.
    I have made two service requests to the developer, no response at this time.
    Is there somewhere I can download and install Remote Files version 2 file? I can only find the new version 2.1 in the app store.

  • Managing Undo tablespace & roll back segments

    Hi,
    I have oracle 9.1 version and have created 5g undo tablespace apart from 20m rbs tablespace for 15 rollback segments. But it is seen that whenever i give UNDO_MANAGEMENT=AUTO then rollback segments are created using undo tablespace and not allowing rollback segment in rbs tablespace ONLINE. In the reverse happens whenever I give UNDO_MANAGEMENT=MANUAL , the rollback segments in the rbs tablespace gets focus and roll back segments in the Undo tablespace goes offline. Is there anything that I can do so that both undo tablespace and redo segments in the rbs tablespace gets working together so as to minimize the undo contention. Moreover, any query given takes long time when select query given with || in the subquery.
    Please suggest the tuning need to do?

And its better to stick with the automatic one IMHO. Have a read of this link to understand more about undo.

  • BAPI_INCOMINGINVOICE_CREATE - a rolling back errors question

    I  need to use this BAPI to create an invoice and a credit memo against the same purchase order in one 'hit'.  If the second call to the BAPI fails, I  want to rollback both sets of changes.  IIt's been fixed in my mind for a while now that this is not  possible.; that if you call  this BAPI  you have to complete the process by committing or rolling back  the changes before calling it  a second time.  However, I've done a bit of testing and doing the commit / rollback after the second call seems to be working fine. 
    Has anyone else done this sort of thing successfully in Production?   I don't  want  to tell them  that it is possible and make them really happy and  then find out that I was wrong.

    I have a similar scenario with BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST, where two or even four postings need to be made successfully or none at all. The rollback is actually a very rare case in production, but it was tested quite a bit beforehand with forced errors and always worked as desired.
    As you know, it works only as long as the BAPI does not have a commit work inside (they should not if programmed properly).

  • Rolling back to iTunes 4.9 from 5 or 5.0.1

    I have posted a method of rolling back to iTunes 4.9 from iTunes 5 or 5.0.1 before and it works for some people, at least. I am posting this again in the hope that people who have problems with iTunes 5 or 5.0.1 will be able to solve their problems by rolling back.
    (1) Remove iTunes 5 and QuickTime 7 using the Add/Remove Program function in Control Panel
    (2) Copy the iTunes Library file in My Documents -> My Music -> iTunes -> Previous iTunes Libraries to My Documents -> My Music -> iTunes and rename it to iTunes Library (you need to delete the new iTunes Library file there created by iTunes 5 first)
    (3) Reinstall iTunes 4.9 (A copy can be found at http://www.5star-shareware.com/Windows/Music/MultimediaPlayers/itunes.html , the last time I visited the link is still active.)
    Also save the iTunes 4.9 installer in a safe place as you may need it later.

    Jim,
    Your statements indicate a clear understanding of why the furor appears here and the efforts to address it, but your last admission (regarding issue management) negates it all. How can
    i you
    now determine that there is a problem (one that is pervasive enough to warrant a major response or action on Apple's part)?
    None of us here have any insight as to the extent (or lack thereof) of the problem. Only Apple knows (if that) how many iTunes installations there are and what proportion of these are experiencing a problem. There have been calls for the iTunes developers' heads since I've seen the release of 4.7 - and all prior indications are that this is not a new event with that version. Some folks have always been getting caught in the ‘fatal error’ trap with each new iTunes release.
    Over the 2005 year, the iTunes users have expanded greatly. As such, I would expect a similar increase in folks coming here to seek help and express dismay. It certainly
    i seems
    to me as if there are greater instances of iTunes failing, but as a proportion of total users, I cannot say if the percentages are, in fact, increasing.
    As for a 'forced migration’,...the apparent policy has been to provide only the current version of the programs. I realize that folks want a 'fool-proof' upgrade, but any experience with PCs teaches one that without backups, archived earlier version of programs, prudence before jumping into a new version release, and a good understanding of one's system, you are just inviting trouble.
    I feel for the folks with difficult problems. I am not blaming them, nor am I willing to blame Apple. I remain here trying to assist them where possible. I do, however, expect us as 'users' to be able to proactively protect ourselves as we so often have been warned by various technology experts: make multiple backups, keep copies of previous programs, learn a little bit about our computers, and exercise a little personal responsibility in keeping them correctly operating - or pay for someone else to manage it for us.

  • Best way to roll back to 5.01?

    Hi,
    Since updating to 5.02, PPCS5 on W7 throws up errors when capturing from a Canon XM2.  Had no problems with 5.01.  And, don't have a problem using PE8 - in fact I have to use PE8 to capture because PPCS5 refuses to play ball.
    So, what's the simplest way to roll back a version?  Bearing in mind I have the Master Collection installed.
    Cheers

    Yeah, going back to 5.01 is probably not the right way to go.  I agree that finding the problem is probably the right way to go about this.
    Try the standard stuff:
    trash prefs,
    upgrade graphics driver
    clean media cache
    If that doesn't work, here's what I would do.
    I would launch the uninstaller for Master Collection and then I would uninstall/reinstall JUST Premiere Pro.  Once you do that, then run the updater to get Premiere Pro back to 5.02 and see how things go.  Failing that, then I would contact tech support and this forum for additional suggestions.
    Hope this helps,
    Dennis
