Want to restore recent production backup content db into Dev Farm but both contain the same site collections.
Here is my scenario:
My current dev sharepoint 2013 environment is using a former backup of Production (which is 2010). We need to restore the latest backup from production into the dev environment. I restored the production backup to a new database under a different name. When
I use "Mount-spContentDatabase" and point towards the latest production backup under a new name it gives me the error:
Mount-SPContentDatabase : The attach operation cannot continue because another
object in this farm already contains the same ID. Each object in a farm must
have a unique ID. In order to proceed with the attach operation you must
assign a new ID to this database. To attach this database with a new ID, use
the Mount-SPContentDatabase command with the -AssignNewDatabaseId parameter.
Note that if this new database and an existing database contain the same site
collections, attaching this database will likely result in orphaned site
collections due to conflicts between the two databases."
I realize mounting the same content db's in one farm leads to a duplication of database and site collection GUIDS in the sql database. I guess my question is what is the easiest way to restore a content db with the same site collections and ID.
Should I "disconnect" the current dev content db, take a backup of it, delete it from sql server, and then mount the newest production backup or will that still give me the same "orphaned" site issue?
Should I do the above, delete the web application, create a new one and then try to mount latest production backup?
If someone could give me specifics on how this can be accomplished short of installing on a new farm that would be much appreciated!
Once you detach it from Sharepoint, so all the site information gone from Config DB. No need to delete it from SQL but you can if you need free space on the SQL.
After detaching old DB from sharepoint and mount the new DB to web application...you will not get the ID error.
Please remember to mark your question as answered &Vote helpful,if this solves/helps your problem. ****************************************************************************************** Thanks -WS MCITP(SharePoint 2010, 2013) Blog: http://wscheema.com/blog

I tried to sync Firefox mobile to my PC. Then I tried to upgrade to Firefox 4.0, which was a mistake, because I already had 4.0. I checked yes to install it again. Then I tried to uninstall and reinstall 4.0. That is when I started getting the error message.
i have been trying to figure out how to fix this same issue as well for the past 2 hours or so. it is very upsetting that you can't even uninstall it try to redo it all or just use the old version. everything seemed to be ok untill i got to the set up part of the process that is when i kept getting the same message: ''your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of firefox. do you want to reboot now" and to no avail. please help. i really enjoyed my firefox/mozilla. now i can't even use it i have to go back to internet explorer for now...........

.... everything came through when they transferred my stuff exept my music.
So I hooked up to iTunes at home and restored to get my music. The problem is,
it restored to last backup which was April 2012, now I lost all the stuff from then to now!!!
Very frustrated! Can this be undone?? All I wanted to do was put my music on.You restored to a backup. Backups do not contain music since it is presumed to be saved in your iTunes library. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
You should have synced rather than doing a restore.
Presuming that your music is in your iTunes library you can put it back on your iPhone by syncing with the proper music selected in the iTunes Music tab. -
everytime i want to restore my previews backup to my new iphone, itunes asks for my password, when i enter my password it tells me my password is incorrect, but its not! i have even changed my password. but still nothing! I get the same error from itunes!!!!
Try using your computer password. I tried any password I could think of relating to my phones, but it was none of them; it was, in fact, my computer password.

I want to restore a back up from icloud from last year but it has disappeared! can i recover older backups?
No, once removed, backups cannot be recovered. Also, Apple will remove backups after 180 days of inactivity, which sounds like what happened here.

Hi!
I upgrade my iPhone 5 from ios 7.1 to 7.1.1.
When it finished I wanted to restore with my backup but iTunes says that it can't because incompatible or corrupted.
What can I do then to restore my iPhone?Backups are only used for restoring iPhones via iTunes.
If you desire to go about another method for extracting data from a backup, use google to find out how (if possible) to make that happen. -
I recently "Erased all content and settings" on my iTouch and during the reset, it ran out of battery and it has been the apple logo and a loading symbol on the screen for 2 and a half days now. What do I do?
I did drop it from about 4 and a half foot during the reset so I don't know if that has broken it.See if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allo iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore it.
Next try DFU mode.

I purchased Adobe Acrobat Standard V11 on one user account on one pc.
I want to remove this software and re-install it on another user account on the same pc.
Will this use an extra licence?
I understand this product comes with 2 licences but am hoping to retain the extra for another pc.My experience (limited) has been to expect it to be installed automatically for all users.
What seems to be missing on the new user account? -
I changed from one iPhone to another and backed the first one up to the icloud. I have restored the content to my new iphone but cannot download the photos. Any advise will be greatly appreciated
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photos and some other items are added back after the restore has completed, you may need to wait a while. -
I subscribed online and now want to cancel my product and receive a full refund. where can I find the registration number asked for on the refund page.
Hi rosemarym,
Is it the ExportPDF subscription that you want to cancel? If so, please see Cancel your membership or subscription | Acrobat, Acrobat.com online services. There is no registration number associated with a subscription (your Adobe ID acts as verification).
If you're still having trouble unsubscribing, please let me know and I can help you take care of it.
Best,

I restored my iPad and then i clicked "Restore iTunes backup". It is finished but on the iPad screen it says connect to iTunes. I connected it to iTunes but it says the same thing. What should I do?
You are in Recovery Mode. Follow the instructions below to recover your iPad.
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port. (Make sure you have the latest version of iTune on your computer)
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost. -
Hi guys, so we have 2 iPhones in my house, both on the same Apple ID so that my mum and I can share everything. I have just got an iPad mini, and would like to use iMessage on it with my phone number, but the iPad only picks up other more recently added number (not mine, my mums) when I go to message settings. Is there a way to make the iPad default to other number?

Hi, can anyone tell me if I can have more than one iTunes account on the same PC. I've just bought my wife an iPad2 and want to create a separate account for her. Can I do that on the same PC as mine? Thanks.
I would advise that you not set up a second Apple ID. It's really not necessary - having two Apple IDs won't affect how iTunes works with your iPads - and will just complicate matters. Each iPad will be treated independently and can be set to sync only the items you want on that particular iPad. If you really want to keep the two iPads separate, set up different iTunes libraries and have only those items you want on the related iPad in that library, rather than a different Apple ID. If you plan not to use a computer and just download directly to the iPads, you can again choose what apps and content each iPad gets.
But answering your specific question, you can have content from up to five iTunes Store accounts on any one computer or iPad. To create a new iTunes Store account, you'll need a different email address, and from there you just create the account the same way you did the first one.
Regards.
