Upgraded from CR XI to 2011 and now my old 2005 SQL OBDC Connection is gone

I upgraded from a working CR XI (v11.0) product to CR 2011 v14.0.2. But when I try to open an old report from CR XI, it prompts me to a OBDC (RDO) Data Source Selection Window and my old Database connection is not there to select.
I use SQL Native Client 2005.90.3042.00 for my old SQL Server DSN Config with CRXI. How do I select my old DSN Configuration so I can access my data?
If I run CR XI, I can still connect with the above mentioned configuration without any problems.

Hi Jeff,
That is strange.... I've never heard of that happening before. I have 100's of reports that have no problems. What OS are you using? CR 2011 fully supports ODBC and SQL Server 2005 and 2008. How did you create the DSN and is it a User DSN, System DSN or file DSN?
Actually we did not support the SQL Native Client in XI, you had to use the MDAC version "SQL Server" to connect. Not sure why it worked, likely because the SQL generated wasn't complex so it mapped to that driver easily.
There have been others who have discovered using the SQL Native 10 client that gets installed with SQL Server 2008 Client Tools works great for both 2005 and 2008. You can download it from MS's site, get the 32 bit version. CR 2011 is still a 32 bit application.
It does require you to update your DSN to the Native 10 driver, update, verify and save your old reports also to get them to the new CR 2011 file format.

I recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion and now some CDs I use for school do not work. Can I create a partition to run both Snow Leopard and LIon or does it only work to run windows? How do I do this?

Getting a new CD from publisher is not an option as they would want me to pay for a new one and they are pricey. If possible I would prefer to keep my upgrade to lion but would go back to leopard if there's no other option.

You can add another partition on which you can install Snow Leopard. If you do, however, you cannot use Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows. Just so you know.
To resize the drive do the following:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
After the main menu appears select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button. Select the hard drive's main entry then click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
2. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed. (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
You should now have a new volume on the drive.
It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss. Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.
Boot from your Snow Leopard DVD and install on the volume you just created. Be sure you set the new partition as the target for your Snow Leopard system.

Upgraded from Aperture 2 to 3 and now photos are no longer in photo book

Hi,
I've recently upgraded my copy of Aperture from version 2 to 3 and after my library had updated everything seemed fine until I looked at a photo book I was working on. It appears that all of the photos that I had placed in the book are no longer there, and I am now left with a blank template.
The album I built up of photos to include is still there, they just aren't arranged on the pages of the book. Has anyone else experienced this, and if they have are there any suggestions for a solution?
Thanks in advance,
Mark

Upgraded from iPhoto 08 to 11 and now my library is gone. How do I get it back?

I updaded to iPhoto 11 and when I ran the updater is said that my permissions could not be fixed and then quit.
How do I get my library back. Unfortunately my Time Machine was having problems also when I updated to Mavericks and all of my back up show blank on the time machine.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

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 Repair Library Permissions.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

I tried to upgrade from FF7 beta to FF7 and now I have no Firefox at all

I was using the FF7 beta. When I saw that FF7 had been released, I downloaded and tried to install it, without uninstalling the beta first. That may have been a mistake. It got partway through the install process and then asked me to reboot the computer. After the reboot, my FF shortcut no longer worked ("Searching for firefox.exe"). I used another browser to download the installer again and ran it, only to be told that I needed to reboot my computer in order for a previous install to complete. I rebooted; no change. Attempting to remove the existing installation in Add/Remove Programs has not helped, though Mozilla Firefox is no longer listed there.
I'm using Windows XP and my standard user account doesn't have admin privileges. This hasn't been a problem for Firefox until, perhaps, now. I've tried running the installer from an admin account as well, with the same result.
Is there anything I can remove manually to fix this?

OK... I found a Mozilla Support article - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/The%20program%20must%20close%20to%20allow%20a%20previous%20installation%20attempt%20to%20complete - which says deleting xpicleanup.dat will solve the problem; but I guess that's out of date (or the presence of that file isn't the only cause of the bug), because there's no xpicleanup.* on my machine. However, elsewhere in this forum - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/786890 - I found a suggestion to install the new version somewhere other than the default folder. I did that, and it worked; and it even preserved my bookmarks, add-ons and previously-opened tabs. (If anyone finds this while trying to solve their own upgrade/install failure: choose Custom rather than Standard install, and just change the suggested folder name.)
The only remaining sign of the problem is the icon in my Quick Launch area: if I try to use it to launch Firefox, I still get the error "Windows cannot open this file: firefox.exe.moz.delete". Having recorded that here for posterity, I'll be replacing the icon.

Upgraded from iWeb 06 to 08, and now web address and links don't work

Hi there,
I recently had the hard drive of my computer replaced and the Mac shop automatically upgraded iWeb 06 to iWeb 08, without asking me (and they also upgraded iPhoto)... I didn't think anything of it and went home. The next time I tried to update my website in iWeb I was asked a question that went something like did I want to upgrade or change or did I want to go ahead or something? I foolishly just said yes, whatever, and did my updates to my website. Then I used Transmit to upload my website files to my web site host. The web pages themselves still all look fine in Firefox, but there is one massive problem: when I type in my web address, which is www.*****.com, in Firefox, I'm told: "404 Not Found - The requested URL /Site/Home.html was not found on this server". When this happens, I've noticed that the www.****.com that I typed into the address bar now has changed to http://www.******.com/Site/Home.html.... If I delete the "/Site" bit from this new "address" my website comes up! If I then click on the link The Albadukes e.g., this page comes up fine. I then click on Links, and this page also opens up fine. However, if I then try to go back to the page called The Albadukes, it doesn't open! Instead, I get the 404 Not Found message again. Here, I've noticed that the writing in the web address box of the browser has changed from "http://www.***.com/The_Albadukes.html" (which works) to http://www.****.com/The Albadukes.html" (i.e. with a space between "The" and "Albadukes" - doesn't work...). If I remove the space and instead add an underscore, then the page opens! This kind of thing happens in different directions between different pages within my website.
<Edited by Moderator>
I realise the problems when upgrading to 08 and I wish it had never happened, but it did. So my question is: does anyone know if these link and web address problems can be solved, or should I just accept that the problems are due to the upgrade and instead just recreate my website in 08 (and hope that 08 will work OK on my computer...)? I am very very grateful for any help!!
Many many thanks,
Sofie

Hmm, interestingly enough it works on my MacBook fine...just a lot slower but that's because of ram size. I cannot figure out what's the problem with it on my iMac though.
I've gone into Quicktime and deleted any divx files associated with that and still nothing.

Upgraded from LabVIEW 8 to 2013 and now VI asks to find the installation package for Run-Time Engine 7.0

I recently installed LabVIEW 2013 on a computer (running Windows XP 32-bit). The machine also has LabVIEW 8 installed, which is what I was using prior to upgrading. I opened a VI that was created in LV8 and then saved it and all its subVIs in LV2013. Now when I open the VI in LV2013 and try to run it, a window pops up asking me to find the "lvruntimeeng.msi" installation package for LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 7.0. If I cancel that dialog box and the subsequent message stating that the installion files were not found, the VI appears (at least from intial inspection) to run normally.
I closed LabVIEW, downloaded Run-Time Engine 7.0 from the NI website, and tried to install it, but I received a message saying that it is already installed (as I had suspected). How can I determine what part of the VI and/or its subVIs is trying to make use of Run-Time Engine 7.0? Alternatively, how can I get LabVIEW to instead use the Run-Time Engine 2013 that was installed when I upgraded to LabVIEW 2013?
Solved!

Are you running your VI from a Project? If so, you can look at Dependencies and get an idea what "dependent" VIs you might have. There may be "something old" in your LabVIEW 8 code that has been superceded in 2013, but still "hangs around" -- if you can identify it, you can probably replace it with its "more modern" equivalent.
If you do not have the VI in a Project, you can simply open LabVIEW, create a new blank project, and add your top level VI to it. If all of your relevant VIs are in a single folder, add the entire folder. Now look in Dependencies.

Yes I am running the VI from within a LV Project. After some more searching in the NI Knowledgebase I was able to fix the problem by using the following procedure:
1. Use the Measurement and Automation Explorer to uninstall Run-Time Engine 7.0
2. Restart the PC
3. Open the project, close the project choosing to "save all"
4. Restart the PC
5. Re-install Run-Time Engine 7.0 using a file downloaded from ni.com
6. Restart the PC
7. Open the project, close the project choosing to "save all"
8. Open the project and run the VI. No more messages about LabVIEW trying to find Run-Time Engine 7.0.

I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Yosemite and now it runs much slower.

I have a MacBook that came with Snow Leopard. I have used this for about 4 years now and just upgraded to Yosemite. Now my mac runs slower, each page takes longer to load, sometimes when I'm typing (especially right after waking up) it can't keep up, when I click things it seems to not register it or it needs to be clicked harder.. when I power down i have to press the pwr button a few times or hold it (can't figure it out) to make it respond. Help!

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
     computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
     screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

I've upgraded from LR 4 through 5 and now to 6. Do I need to keep LR4 on my PC?

As stated above - I'm trying to free up space and wondered whether I need to keep previous versions?
Thanks in advance

Hi!
No, you can delete the older versions.
If you update to a newer version, Lightroom will create a new catalogue for this. For safety you can backup the Lr4 and Lr5 catalogue.

I just upgraded from LR3.3 to LR5 and can't print now....

I just upgraded from LR3.3 to LR5 and now when printing on my Epson 2880 the image is printing only a portion of my image - not placing it properly on the page as it appears in the print preview. I have checked with Epson and they confirm all my page size specs and print preferences are correct - Epson says it's a software glitch. The image looks right on the screen in the print preview - yet places the image in a corner of the page when printing, cutting off half of it. Tried it both on 8.5x11 and on 13x19 with two images and had the same problem. I need this fixed ASAP thanks @Adobe @JaneSzaboPhoto

Yes, I have the paper set up properly as 13" x 19" (or 8.5 x 11 when trying more than one size) and even reviewed this over the phone with Epson. All setting are correct and it looks right on the print preview - but shifts the image to the top left of the page and shrinks the image and cuts off the top of the image.....no matter what paper size.

Yes. Reinstall iTunes. If that is the point at which you stopped trying the support suggestions then it makes sense to me, that you move on to the next suggestion and if reinstalling iTunes is the next suggestion, so be it.
However .... I too have issues that arise out of the blue with my iPad being recognized in iTunes and what I always do and it eventually works is to quit iTunes, restart my MacBook, and reboot my iPad.
Rebooting the iPad is the last thing that I do and only if I have no success with quitting iTunes and restarting the Mac. It may take a few tries to work, but if you are that dead set against reinstalling iTunes, then give it a try.

I did an upgrade a week or so ago and now I have an Adobe Muse CC 2014 on my desktop. WhenI open the application that way the GUI interface looksw totally different, more like Illustrator. What is that all about?

Since posting the above, I have resolved a sensible work-around in regard to ebookstores which prefer us to have separate accounts for our separate Adobe IDs.
However, I really would appreciate it if anyone here can confirm that a DRM controlled book does actually become associated with a particular Adobe ID account at the time of first download to Digital Editions on that PC/device.
Two large book stores have said using my account with them to download books to our two separate Adobe IDs is OK, but I don't want to find my husband is unable to open his downloaded books.
Thank you folks for any advice you can give,
