User (?) issue following restore.

Hey folks. My HD was failing, so I replaced it. When it was failing, it was running 10.8.5. It was loaded with Mavericks when I got it back. I restored using my external time machine drive. Following restore, I upped Mavericks to ver 10.9.1
It seems to be running fine, except I noticed that when I try to save a file off the web into a folder on the desktop, it won't work. The folder is highlighted, but when I click save, it grays out and puts the file on the desktop, not the folder. Later, I can click/drag it to the correct folder. My old user name was replaced by a new user name, which is the old user with a "1" added to the end. In that folders "get info" box it shows my old/deleted ID with Read/write privleges, but not the new "1" ID. Don't know where to go with this. I posted recent history in the next paragraph.
When I first got the computer back, the restore seemed to go fine. The tech advised me to restore via the migrate utilitity, he said to not select the "computer and network" settings, the 3rd checkbox on the restore screen. I was having trouble getting connected to the internet, so thought perhaps I should go back and restore that network file anyway. When I went back into the migration app, I was advised there was an issue (but not what issue) with my user id and that I needed to restore it before I could do anything else. I went ahead and selected that. After about 30 minutes, the slider indicated "less than a minute left." I let it sit on "less than a minute" for an hour. I couldn't find any way to break out of it, so I finally shut the machine off. When it came back up, it was a basic desktop with none of my stuff on it. I did another full restore. It seemed to work fine. At that point, MY original user ID was there, and a second ID which was my original ID with "1" added to the end of it. It seemed apparent after a few days that the computer was using the "1" ID and not the original. I deleted the original ID, because everything on the drive was duplicated and caused the new drive to be almost full.

Do a backup.
System Preferences/Users & Groups - try renaming the new user with the old user name (remove the 1). See if that helps. If not under Login Options, set to Automatic Login and restart. See if that helps. If this gets everything straightened out, you can set it back to login however you choose.

Classic Sync Issues following Restore

I've recently has issues with the 160Gb classic freezing so it's now been restored. It doesn't freeze now (phew!) but now it only wants to sync the ENTIRE library (which is larger than the 160Gb capacity) or Selected Playlists, Artists, Albums or Genres. I actually want everything that's ticked in the Library to sync (as it used to prior to the restore) but it doesn't matter what settings I use, it won't do as i want it to.
Summary screen currently shows Sync only ticked songs and videos and Enable Disk Use and Music tab shows Sync Entire Library. If I change Sync Entire... to Selected Playlists etc I have to manually choose everything. That's already done in the Library so REALLY don'y want to have to do that.
Anyone any idea where I'm going wrong PLEASE. Many thanks

So if I understand you correctly, you want to sync only checked songs and videos from your iTunes library?

The steps the users suggest would be great IF I knew what and where the menu is. Please provide something that a new firefox user can follow.

I just need a STEP BY STEP explanation of how to restore the bookmark icon. There is none. I read all the replies in the community. They list a string of steps that a new firefox user cannot follow. I just want to access a bookmark. I do not know where the menu is. Please do not tell me to watch another video. I need something that I can do now!

Which bookmark icon are you referring to?
Is that an icon one the Navigation Toolbar or possibly on the Bookmarks Toolbar or do you mean the favicons (website icons) that appear next to a bookmark on the Bookmarks Toolbar?
What action did you get when clicking this button?
Note that some icons may not appear when the menu bar is visible or possibly the Bookmarks Toolbar.
*Firefox menu button > Options
*View > Toolbars (press F10 to display the menu bar)
*Right-click empty toolbar area
Use Toolbar Layout (Customize) to open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.
*check that "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*if "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette into the Customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*if missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar setup

Multi-User Issues

I've taken over development of a Vs2003(vB)/MsSql2000 application which usually runs in on a Windows 2000 server with multiple workstations running the application simultaneously in Remote Desktop Sessions.
The central user interface element of the application is an un-databound grid (actually a farpoint spreadsheet) which displays sql table rows that are accessable from every workstation. The grid refreshes its content whenever a specific subroutine is called. That subroutine performs a query which loads its results into a collection which is then loaded into the grid. The subroutine is called during startup and at other times using the rather elaborate mechanism described below. Each workstation also has the ability to modify any row in the grid via a dialog-based editor. The grid itself is not setup to allow inplace editing.
The grid usually contains about 200 records and 20-50% of these records get modified (some repeatedly) every hour.
My question involves the classic multi-user issues of keeping all of the seperate workstation's grids current as individual workstations make modifications to the data.
What is Microsoft's recommended method for handling multi-user data-refresh requirements in custom applications written in VB.NET2003 with MsSQL2000?
Now that you know what I'm looking for, let me add a little more detail. The existing code handles this multi-user refresh issue in the following way...
A SQL Trigger is attached to the SQL Table's Insert/Modify and Delete events. That Trigger calls the xp_logevent built-in stored procedure to make an entry in the NT Event Log.
The application contains a subroutine to handle EventLog("Application").EntryWritten messages. That subroutine calls the subroutine (mentioned earlier) which refreshes the grid contents through a new SQL query.
In this way, whenever any workstation changes the table data, a trigger fires which makes a log entry and broadcasts an EntryWritten message into the global windows environment. The individual applications (each running in their own RDP session) hear the message and respond by refreshing their grid.
This all seems a little "rube goldberg" to me, but it has worked for many years.
That is, until we moved the SQL2000 server to a seperate machine to improve program responsiveness.
Now when the trigger is fired and the log entry is made, the EntryWritten message is broadcast into the windows environment of the dedicated SQL server where there are no applications listening for it. Meanwhile, the applications continue to run with unrefreshed data on the (now) dedicated RDP server from where the EntryWritten messages cannot be "heard".
So my question really comes down to this...
In an environment where the SQL server and the RDP server are two seperate machines, what is the best method for coordinating multi-user screen refreshes across seperate applications running in distinct RDP Client sessions?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Peace,

I don't see an issue, but if you mean why didn't you get most of your memory back you need to see what else is using storage. Go to Settings/General/Usage. Wait a bit for it to calculate storage allocation, then when it finishes you can see how much storage each app uses.

How Restore Deleted or Missing OS X Components
A few of the basic OS X installed applications can be restored from the Optional Installs installer located in the Optional installs folder on your Installer DVD. However, if what you need is not there then follow the instructions below.
How to Use Pacifist to Restore Deleted or Missing OS X Components
Insert the OS X Installer DVD into the optical drive. Use a simple utility like TinkerTool to toggle invisibility so you can see invisible items. Alternatively, open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and at the prompt enter the following:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles Yes
Press RETURN.
To turn off the display of invisible files repeat the above command substituting No for Yes.
The install packages are located in the /System/Installation/ folder on the DVD.
Download the shareware utility Pacifist. Use it to extract a fresh copy of the missing item(s) from the file archives on your OS X installation DVD. The file archives are in the /System/Installations/ folder (use Go to Folder option in the Go menu of the Finder.)
Here are Four Basic ways to use Pacifist (courtesy of George Orville.)
Drag a .pkg icon onto the Pacifist window .....proceed to step 7.
Click on “Open Package ....” and navigate to package desired and click “Open” in the open/save window.....proceed to step 7.
Insert Mac OS X installer CD and when it mounts, navigate to .... Menu->Go->Go to Folder. In the path field enter or paste ....
/Volumes/disc name/System/Installation/Packages (where disc name is the name of the CD/DVD that you inserted.)
Click on the "Go" button ..... • Drag a .pkg to Pacifist..... proceed to step 7.
The package you'll need will have to be discovered by trial and error, but for most applications you should start with the Essentials.pkg and/or Additional Essentials.pkg.
D. Insert your Mac OS X install disk 1 .... and open Pacifist.
1.          In Pacifist, select "Open Mac OS X Install Packages" ... dialog may appear asking for disk 2, then disk 3 and finally disk 1 again.... {if DVD is not used)...If “Stop Loading” is selected...the procedure will stop!!!
2a. When loading is complete, a new window appears, click the triangle to display contents of each package...Select item and proceed to step 7.
2b.          or click the “Find” icon in the Pacifist window and type the name of the software you need.
3.          In the list that comes back, click the top most entry for the item that you want. ..... that is the one for the English language.
4.          On the top of the Pacifist window, click “verify” .... you will probably be prompted for your password.
5.          Enter checks for.... “verify permissions” and “verify file contents.” and click “verify” ....enter password when prompted.... you will get back output which may look like this:
          20 files were scanned. 20 of 20 files were present on the hard disk. 0 of 20 files had file permissions that did not match those specified in the package. 0 of 20 files had checksums that did not match those specified in the package.
6.          Click “close”. Go to step 7.
Extract or Install........
7.          In the Toolbar (upper left), you now have the option to extract or install. Click a file in the lower list and those two icons will be enabled.
8.          If “Extract to...” is selected.... navigate to the location where the file will be placed, select “choose”, select “extract” in new dialog that appears,authenicate , if prompted, click “OK”.
9.          In the next dialog, click “Extract”.
10.          If “Install” is selected... dialog will appear with the location/path of the installed software. Click “Install”
11.          Type in your password, click “OK”
Pacifist will begin to extract files.
12.          In steps 8/10ß.... you also have the choice to “cancel”
Notes:          Pacifist may find that a file it is installing already exists on the hard disk. Pacifist will present you with an alert panel....
Stop
Leave original alone
Update .....
Default selection
Replace .... (Replace option should only be used on full install packages)

Go to Morgan's Library at www.psoug.org and look up "DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO." This built in package has a procedure named SET_SESSION_LONGOPS that may help you.

Can you leverage the CSOM or the SSOM to get a collection of users that follow a certain list?

Has anyone ever efficiently managed to grab a collection of users that follow a specific list?
I tried SPList().GetItems(),
but I'm not getting the users who follow the list, just the list items.
The only way I can think to do this is to iterate through the entire userbase, create a SocialFollowingManager() for
each user, and then leverage the SocialFollowingManager().IsFollowed(SPSocialActor
targetList) method to see if that individual user is following the list.
I can't imagine that there doesn't exist a more efficient way to do this... has anyone had experience with this before?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to check whether the user has followed the special list.
Per my knowledge, to find out whether the user is following a particular item, there is no efficient way to achieve it as the
technet article said.
CSOM: IsFollowed
JSOM: isFollowed
REST: POST <siteUri>/_api/social.following/IsFollowed and pass the actor parameter in the request
body
SSOM: IsFollowed

Dynamically Identifying user issuing SQL statement

Client wants to provide security to certain data by first capturing the identity of every user issuing a SQL statement, then, based on the user and a security table, allow access to certain data. Is this doable? TIA...

Oracle has a whole product centered around this called "Label Seurity", which I'm guessing may be too much for your needs. Check out this marking shag for info about "virtual private databases" http://technet.oracle.com/deploy/security/oracle8i/pdf/vpd_wp6.pdf
Basically, the idea is that the "old school", but still perfecly fine, way to do it is to create views for each group of users and grant permissions to the views for the appropriate users. Optionally using synomyms into their schemas to give users the same name for the different views.
The virtual private database and similar stuff is hard to explain. I think of it as the db engine auto-adding a where clause to each sql statement based upon who you are. If that makes any sense.
I've tried this a couple of different ways, but have yet to hit upon one that seems easy & generally applicable.
Good Luck -d

How to list all user's "followed" count?

Dear all,
I need to genearate a report to list all user's Followed items count.
I found follow REST API:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn194080.aspx#bk_FollowedCount
By using "My/followedcount", I can get current user's count of items he or she followed. It is exactly what I need. But I need to list all users' "following count". How can I do it?
Thank you for any input.
Mark

Hi Mark Lui,
Please check the code sample in below article, whether it is working in your scenario, it is using the client object model to get the specified user’s followed content, to get all users’ following content, please first iterate users information, then use
this to get followed count:

I'm having a problem with logging into a FileVault-protected user account after restoring from Time Machine backup.

Hi all,
My computer had been running really slowly for a while, so I decided to erase the whole hard drive and reinstall the operating system, and then I was going to restore the files I cared about from Time Machine. The main account, which had all my documents and photos, was FileVault-protected. The last thing I did before erasing the hard drive was to run one last Time Machine backup. As far as I remember, I always ran Time Machine backups with the FileVaulted user logged in.
I don't remember whether I was using FileVault 1 or 2. I had been using FileVault 1, but I installed Lion as soon as it came out and I thought I had migrated to FileVault 2 at that point.
Once I erased the hard drive and reinstalled the operating system, I browsed the Time Machine disk and, within the Users folder, there was no folder for the main user account. When I tried to reinstall everything by restoring from Time Machine backup, I'd get the option for all the user accounts, but when I tried to log in with the main one I'd get the dreaded "You are unable to log in to the FileVault user account "User" at this time. Log in failed because an error occurred." Finally, when attempting to restore from the Time Machine backup again, I noticed something strange: After the computer got to about 10% done restoring, it declared itself completed successfully and rebooted.
I've tried a number of tips that came up from questions about similar issues on the Apple support forum, but had no luck. Is there any way to get these files back? Did they ever even get backed up?
Thanks.

I can't find it! not sure what's going on but the only folder shown is the " Shared" folder.
Did you have only the one user account? If there were others, they should also be in the "Users" folder. You probably won't have access to the files inside them, but they should be there.
From what can make out, it looks like it's not backed up any of the files for the filevault account. Can't see user folder when looking through previous backups in Time Machine galaxy view.
Are you doing that from a Finder window set to your internal HD, or your computer name? It should look something like this (with the Finder in List view):

I'd been logging out and backing up manually on a regular basis.
Scheduled backups should run normally; but they won't back up the File Vault sparse bundle, nor will any run manually.
The only time it's backed-up is when you actually log out.
You should have seen this window on logout:

followed by this one:

If you didn't see the second one, or cancelled it, the account wasn't backed-up.

R2 XP to Windows 7 Migrations - User State Data Restore Fails

The client I am at is trying to migrate about 800 XP clients to Windows 7 before the April deadline. They have ConfigMgr R2 and are aware of the limitations with ADK 8.1 for Windows XP. We are following the following ConfigMgr Blog:
https://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2013/09/12/how-to-migrate-user-data-from-win-xp-to-win-8-1-with-system-center-2012-r2-configmgr.aspx
We have created the separate TS to capture the User state on the XP box. That works find. We have created the TS to deploy Windows 7 and also restore the users state. That is where the issues are. The image deploys fine however the
User data is never restored.   When we do a 7 to 7 Migration everything works great.
Below is an example of the loadstatescan.log file from another client but it is exactly what we are seeing here as well:
2009-11-26 14:00:35, Error
[0x000000] The account XXXXXXX\admin is chosen for migration, but the target does not have account XXXXXX\admin. See documentation on /lac, /lae, /ui, /ue and /uel options.

local account because /lac was not specified[gle=0x00000006]
On both TS we have uncheck the box that say to copy and restore local accounts. However, as you can see in the error above the loadstate is trying to restore the local Admin account. Is there a work around? I have seen other post about
this but no one has either updated them with their fix or there hasn't been a fix?
Kristopher Turner | Not the brightest bulb but by far not the dimmest bulb.

So I am not sure if this is the "technical fix" for my problem. Something I don't think should fix it but at least it fixes it for now. On the task that runs the capture user data the default settings is to capture all user data unless you specify other
custom settings. We have been using gather all data. However, in the restore user data step there is actually a check box to allow local accounts to be restored. Once we check that box our XP to Windows migrations run without an issue.
First, why isn't there a check in the user capture to disable local accounts if there is a check box for it in the restore user data? Anyway, that is our fix for now. It is working but still a little confused.

Erase and sync issues (backup/restore)

Hello.
I have an issue with the backup/restore with my iPhone.
Sometimes, it is difficult to find an answer that fits your problem exactly on the forum! Lots of good stuff though!
This post will be little longer than normal, but I need to get all the facts on the table.
I'll try to keep this brief. Please hear me out!
From another post ...
https://discussions.apple.com/message/12273122
Kwopau stated ...
if you do a restore, you only have 2 options, Restore as new, meaning nothing will go on it
and you will just have to start fresh and no contacts will go in there.
The other option is "Restore from Back up _______" it will completely restore your phone
from your last back up and everything will be on there.
End of quote ...
Here is my situation.
I have a 3g 16GB iPhone.
I am still running IOS 3 (not IOS 4).
I do not use sync. I manually manage the music and books with iTunes.
I have an HP laptop.
A while ago, I had to completely rebuild the computer.
The computer has a new computer and user name (I don't know if this matters in iTune/iPhone matchup)?
I have not been able to connect the iPhone since then.
Let me rephrase that.
I can connect with iTunes. I can see all that is on the iPhone.
When I try to add or delete music or books on the iPhone with iTunes or set the manually manage check box, I get the following message ...
The iPhone "myname's iPhone" is synced with another iTunes library.
Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with the this iTunes library.
Most commands appear to be grayed out, I can't add or delete anything.
I do not have anything in current iTunes library at the moment.
My fear is this.
If I do the erase and sync as suggested (iPhone message above) to the iPhone and then use the new iTunes library, will I be able to use the backup (I just created) to restore to the iPhone that I just reset?
If so, will it have contacts and all the other stuff?
I can afford to lose the music and books, and perhaps the apps on the iPhone.
I cannot afford to lose my contact list.
I need to find another way to backup the contact list, Outlook, etc?
If there other posts relative to this, please point me to them.
I am afraid to pull the trigger for fear that iTunes will not recognize the iPhone after the erase and sync and then not allow me to restore.
Perhaps someone can put my mind at ease and convince me that it will all be good if I proceed!
Thanks for you time and help in this matter ...
Bob

Do you know how to transfer purchases? Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes. Click on the iPad nema on the left side of the iTunes window to select it. Then go to File>Transfer Purchases. That should put all of your purchased iPad content into the iTunes library on the PC.
Here are instructions in a very short, easy to follow article.
Transfer iTunes Library to a new computer
This discussion will be helpful to show you how to make the PC work wTunes from the iPad.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3305461
This is the discussion from which I borrowed the some of the text in my post from the discussion above.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
What puzzles me is that if you had updated with the PC, I would have thought that you would have backed up and synced with that PC as well, but read the articles and instructions and post back with questions.
You can email the pdf files to the iPad, or use iOS file sharing, and open and save them in iBooks or another pdf reader app, but start with getting your stuff onto the PC.

Big issue following last OS update, cannot restaure ...

Hello, i have just tried to update my Iphone 3G from 3.1.2 to 3.1.3.
While installing the new OS, an issue happened and Itunes tryed to restore to 3.1.2. Unfortunately, it did not succeed in re-installing 3.1.2.
Here the messages i got:
-> unnknown Error 14
I have restarted my laptop many times, i have tried to restore 5 times, and i have the same error.
This is the first time i have an issue with my Iphone. I am totally stuck.
Please help
Thx
Jerome

Add me to the list of users having this same issue. Tried to upgrade to OS 3.1.3 on two different iPhones -- one 3G and one 3GS. On both phones, the upgrade failed, and then I could not restore either phone. I followed all of the recommendations in Apple's support pages. I alternately got error codes 1603 and 14.
Following the advice of other posts in this forum, I was able to restore both phones by connecting them to a different computer. This reset the phones back to factory settings. Then I connected each phone to the original computer to restore the data back up that iTunes made before attempting the original upgrade. After 6 hours of frustration, I had both phones working again.
The unfortunate problem with this solution is that not everyone has a second (or sometimes third) computer available to them.
Apple seems to want believe that hundreds of users have all suddenly experienced USB problems at the same time, which just happened to coincide with their OS release. It's pretty clear to me that there is a problem with this OS release. I've warned my friends to be very cautious in installing it.
