Where is the iCal database located on the Hard-Disk?
Can someone please tell me where the iCal data is stored on the Hard-Disk?
Im using OS 10.4.11.
Recently after upgrading to iTunes 8.1 and syncing with my iPhone the iCal database got corrupted, every day is filled with past entries recurring forever. (this is described in another thread).
Anyway I found a year old back-up of my User folder in an external H/D so if I cant fix my current iCal database I will replace it with the year-old back-up.
However when I moved what I thought were the iCal data Folders to trash (i.e User/Library/Application Support/iCal and User/Library/Caches/Metadata/iCal) and restarted iCal, after a few moments all the entries reappeared! Obviously the data is also being stored elsewhere other than in these two folders, but I cant figure out where... Does anyone know where the data is stored?
Thanks!
Hi firoze,
Although I don't know where the database is stored, I did figure out a way to my problem as follows, but it requires that you have a reasonably recent backup of your hard disk, and also an alternative startup disk. (In my case, the backup was also bootable thanks to Superduper.)
Fortunately, I had recently backed up all the files from my internal hard disk onto an external disk. However, I had never run iCal's own "File > Back up Database..." routine.
First, (This did not work.) I tried opening a backed up copy of iCal.app that was on a Firewire backup disk, while still booted from the (corrupted) internal HD. It however, gets its database from the boot disk, and so the same garbage appears in the calendar.
The following did work:
(1) I restarted with the "option" key held down, and booted from a backup disk.
(2) Then I launched the backed-up iCal.app, and it looks fine.
(3) Next, I ran "File > Back up Database..." in the backed up iCal, and saved the iCal backup in a file accessible to both disks.
(4) Next, I restarted again, this time from the usual internal hard disk, which contains the corrupted iCal.
(5) I started the corrupted iCal residing on the internal disk which had been problematical. Of course, the garbage still shows up on the calendar.
(6) Now I went to the "File > Revert to Database Backup..." and pointed to the newly created iCal backup file.
This worked! However, I was fortunate in having had a recent backup of my working disk, and I had a boot disk.
For the near future, until Apple fixes the bug, I will run iCal's "File > Back up Database..." each time BEFORE I sync with iPhone. (Or, if the iTunes sync tells me that it will change more than 5% of my calendar items, I could click cancel.)
I will also post this on the other two threads related to this subject.

How to set database location in the crystal report X1 from the Source code.
Dear All,
I am using Crystal report X1 for report generation.Now I am setting the database location manually in the crystal report. How can I Set the database location from the Source code.
Awaiting for your reply.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Rahaneef THere's a routine that also searches for subreports to set the log on info. Simply remove that aprt to set the main report logon info:
IDatabaseTablePtr pTable;
//get first table
pTable = m_Report->Database->Tables->GetItem(1) ;
long lTableCount = m_Report->Database->Tables->Count;
for( long lTable=1; lTable<=lTableCount; lTable++ )
pTable = m_Report->Database->Tables->GetItem(lTable);
pTable->ConnectionProperties->DeleteAll();
pTable->ConnectionProperties->Add("DSN", "Name of your DSN");
pTable->ConnectionProperties->Add("Database", "Demo");
pTable->ConnectionProperties->Add("Password", "sa");
pTable->ConnectionProperties->Add("User ID", "1Oem2000");
// Log on the tables of the subreports.
long lSectionCount = m_Report->Sections->Count;
for( long lSection=1; lSection<=lSectionCount; lSection++ )
ISectionPtr pSection = m_Report->Sections->Item[lSection];
long lSubreportCount = pSection->ReportObjects->Count;
for( long lSubreport=1; lSubreport<=lSubreportCount; lSubreport++ )
IReportObjectPtr pSubreportObject = pSection->ReportObjects->Item[lSubreport];
CRObjectKind crObjectKind;
pSubreportObject->get_Kind(&crObjectKind);
if( crObjectKind == crSubreportObject )
ISubreportObjectPtr SubReportPtr = pSubreportObject;
IReportPtr pSubReport = SubReportPtr->OpenSubreport();
long lTableCount = pSubReport->Database->Tables->Count;
for( long lTable=1; lTable<=lTableCount; lTable++ )
pTable = m_Report->Database->Tables->GetItem(lTable);
pTable->ConnectionProperties->DeleteAll();
//pTable->ConnectionProperties->Add("DSN", "dwcb12003");
pTable->ConnectionProperties->Add("Database", "CrystalEport_DB");
pTable->ConnectionProperties->Add("Password", "sa");
pTable->ConnectionProperties->Add("User ID", "1Oem2000");
If that doesn't work you need to tell us what is the error you are getting and paste in the code you are using. -

Where is the printer head located on the MP600?
Where is the printer head located on the Canon MP600 and how do I remove it? I have had my printer for over 7 years with absolutely no problems! Then, yesterday, after I replaced an ink cartridge, it would not print at all -- keep getting the message "Wrong Printer Head - Replace Printer Head" - I removed all the cartridges and re-inserted them, but that did no good. One suggestion I found on-line said to remove the printer head and re-install it -- Where is it located???
Hi mjomeara,
To reseat the print head in the unit, please follow the steps located here. Once the print head is reseated, please turn off the printer, unplug the power cord and leave it out for at least 10 minutes, then plug it back in and turn the printer back on. If you still receive the print head error, the printer will require servicing. Please call or email us using one of the methods on the Contact Us page for further assistance.

Why are the primary colors located on the vectorscope where they are?
It seems that things would be simpler if one of the primary colors were at the top, bottom, left, or right of the vectorscope. Why is that not the case, and why are the primary colors located on the vectorscope where they are?
Probably really only because of tradition based on the way analog vectorscopes drew the trace.
Notice that red is farther out in an analog system, but smaller allowances in digital systems. -
I lost my iPhone, but it's been more than 24 hours so iCloud won't let me see the last known location of the device, and i need the map of it's last know location to find the phone, how do i get the map of it's last known location?
It's not likely to re-connect to a network lying on the ground somewhere and getting rained on, it would be really great if I could see that map again so I could use it's last known location to find it. Kind of pointless to have a 24 hr killswitch deadline. If I had known I would have taken a screen-shot while I still had access to the information. Since I lost the phone at Canada's Wonderland (which is now closed for the season) I don't have access to the location where I lost the phone (under a roller-coaster probably), and so I wanted to send the Lost And Found people a screen-shot of it's last known location, but I guess I can't do that now. (Apple are big jerks)

How can I restore my data from iCal? I didn't make any backup, but I use time machine with an external HD. I deleted iCal when I deleted my gmail account. I have tried to restore, but I can only restore the iCal software and not the data.
So what is your question?
If you forgot your encryption password:
Warning: Make sure it's a password you will remember or write it down for safekeeping. If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and forget your password, you can't restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable.
If you can't remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and chooseset up as a new device when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore.
The above comes from here:

Here are the environmental details:
SQLDeveloper 32-bit Version 3.2.20.09 (Build MAIN-09.87)
Oracle Database: 12C single instance (no RAC)
Oracle client: 12C 32 bit
Windows 64 bit desktop
I am attempting to migrate an MS Access application to Oracle. I pick the ‘Migrate’ selection from the ‘Tools’ Menu SQL Developer. This puts me into the Migration Wizard. When I get to the ‘Source Database’ step of the migration wizard, the ‘Choose the Third Party database from which you are migrating’ drop-down box is not being populated with the current available connections. It is empty. If I type a valid connection name into the box, SQL Developer takes it on this screen but does not keep it for the next screen/step. It has no persistence. I even tried to make sure that each connection was open/connected before beginning the migration process.
Due to the fact that I am attempting to migrate an MSAccess application, I am mixing 32-bit and 64 bit software. This may be the issue as to why the drop down is losing addressability. I have not applied any patches to this version of SQL Developer.Hi,
If you need easy way to migrate Microsoft Access to Oracle probably it is more reasonable to review some tools specially designed to this purpose. For example:
Access to Oracle converter by Intelligent Converters
Access to Oracle converter by SpectralCore
Access to Oracle converter by Interface Computers
Hope, this will help.

View name in the catalog database which shows the target bkp status
Hi
Can any one tell me the view name in the catalog database

Thank youYou need to have a little patience. Anyways, if you are taking backup by backup sets, than this view may help.

See if this helps you.
Better option is to configure RMAN backup with the v$session_longops and check it to see whether backup is complete or not.

Question
I just downloaded FF4 and now the "SEARCH" tab located at the center of my home page isn't functional. I uninstalled and reinstalled but the result is the same.I think what I did was right clicked on the toolbar when I went to the tab and properties to find out the name of it. I then opened the extensions and add-ons and found what it was there (I don't remember the extension)., You will find the mess involves the homepage tab you have. Click on your tool bar for customization and put the home page away. This doesn't remove it but it will stop bing from showing up. Instead, my tabs now go to a Google page but I can't put in a homepage. Instead I bookmarked Google to my menu bar and when I open a tab I just click that! Cheaper than a trip to a computer vet.
The only option you will have is to remove google, but if you do, you loose all your goodies. Though I did not try this myself, I fear saving your tabs,bookmarks , etc. will store with it, whatever this bing thing is. Hope this helps -
