Why do the backups do not become obsolete even if they are out of retention

Hi,
I'm reading 'Frequently asked questions on Rman backup retention policy [ID 463875.1] ' and found
>
We can have different conditions due which the backups would not become obsolete. They are :
1) There is an offline datafile in the database because of which the all the archivelogs or the archivelog backups needed to recover the datafile will not become obsolete.
>
Question is how to deal with that situation .
I've dropped offline datafile which belongs to tablespace , so my retension policy is not working anymore .
I dont care about that tablespace and datafile but still have to deal with them being offline every full backup .
Regards

That's a problem with the iPhoto book and it's handling of the photos. One user worked around it by arranging the photos in the order he wanted in an album and use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option to set the date of the photos sequentially so the book would list them in that order when added to a bookl.

How are the pWWN list populated in DCNM even before they are logged-in to the switch?

Hello All
DCNM v6.2.3
I see that the hosts are not logged-in to the switch, however via DCNM when I try to create device alias I find the pWWNs populated which are not logged-in. How are the pWWN list populated in DCNM even before they are logged-in to the switch?
Thanks

This is definitely not happening automatically ? would be magic ! you can do it of course manually.

Why does Indesign say I have missing fonts even though they are in my packaged document?

I use CS4 on my pc at work, and always package my files, as I have always done on my mac at home, to keep the links and fonts together so that when I send someone a folder, all of the fonts and images work. For some reason, the packaged graphic designs (created on a mac) that are being sent to us from our graphic designer, all of my fonts are lost - even after having purchased the main one that we use - Gotham - to prevent this from happening. This also occurs with any designs that I package and send out to others in our office. I always have to relink the Gotham fonts, and I cannot retrieve the formatting for the fonts that we don't have, even though they are packaged.
We are considering purchasing a mac for me to use in the office, but I'd like to make sure that it is not user error before we proceed.
Any ideas would be wonderful. I never had this problem with my mac at home with packaging, and it has me confused and frustrated at work.
Thanks!

Since CS6 is the current release, upgrading to CS5 is a near impossibility, and EVERYONE will need to upgrade in lockstep or you'll be worse off than you are now with users of your newer version creating files that cannot be opened by users of CS4 (and your CS4 packages won't automatically install the fonts in the documents in the later versions without manually changing the names of the packaged fonts folders).
As far as font formats, if you are going to collaborate cross-platform, the font of choice is OpenType, which is 100% cross-platform compatible, and second choice is Windows TrueType which also can be installed on Mac OS X (so, essentially, also cross-platform). Last choice would be to use Windows Type1 which can be installed in the private InDesign Fonts folder in the Mac applications folder and will work in ID, but nowhere else. Any of these would allow everyone to use the same fonts, presuming you all purchase the same versions. Purchasing Windows versions and Mac versions of the same font usually works, but there may be little surprises, and you probbly don't want that.

Purchased books still showing up as not on device even though they are on device

I Am having an issue with iBooks. i have purchased books and they are downloaded onto my iPhone 6+. When I go to look at purchased books, all of my downloaded books are showing as though they aren't on my phone. I have tried deleting them all from my phone and iTunes and redownloading them both from the phone and the computer. Neither option has helped. I am running the newest iOS on my iPhone and the latest update to iTunes on my computer.

Why does the zynga toolbar not work or even show up with Firefox 4.0 beta 12

I installed the Zynga toolbar last week and it does not show up, but in the properties it shows installed, but I can not get it to show up with the other toolbars.

Just as a general comments:
* if you use more than one version of firefox you need to create separate profiles for each, or you probably will run into problems see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Testing_pre-release_versions]
* if you are using the new 'firefox button' click on that and look for the toolbar viewing options, and any other options it lists
Sorry I do not use Zynga, and do not know whether it is even fully compatible with Firefox 4 beta, alternatively it may even use the apps tabs feature see [[What are App Tabs?]]

I pod has no sound without headphones. when i push the volume keys it says headphones even though they are not plugged in

My iPod has no sound unless headphones are plugged in. When i push the volume keys it says headphones

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

Why did my playlists dissapear from my iPhone, even though they are still on my iTunes?

I went into my iPhone music app today (on my 4s), and I noticed all my playlists were gone. All my music could still be found under Songs/Artists, just my playlists were missing. I went home and noticed they were all on my iTunes still though.
I use iTunes match, so I turned it off on both iTunes and iPhone, then turned back on, but still playlists were gone. I haven't done anything with iTunes or my phone recently, so I am not sure what has happened. The only thing I have done was hook up an apple TV the other day...is that what did it?
Anyways, I plugged my phone in, turned off Match, and synced. Playlists are there now. Turn on iTunes Match, and they dissapear again.
What's going on? All the songs in my playlists are uploaded or matched in the could.
Thanks,
Andrew

Keep in mind that just because a device may not be upgradeable to the latest iOS release does not mean it cannot continue to work just fine on the last update it did get. There will be many devices that were incompatible with iOS 7 that will continuing to work just fine on iOS 6 for a long time yet. There are many people still using their iPad 1 despite the fact it stopped getting iOS updates after iOS 5.1.1.
One way to safeguard your apps against future incompatible versions is to keep a backup of all your apps in iTunes on your computer. That way, if an update to the app comes out that is not backwards compatible with your iOS, you still have a copy of the last version of the app that was compatible with your device and your iOS release.

My iPhone Won't Sync with computer. It used to; but it doesn't now. I don't have iCloud. When I try to sync I get a message that reads: iTunes could not back up the iPhone "owner's name appears here iPhone" because the backup could not be saved on compute

Why won't my iPhone sync with my computer? When I hook the phone up to iTunes I get a message that reads: iTunes could not back up the iPhone because the backup could not be saved on the computer. This never happened before.

Hey Janice Lucoff,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are experiencing issues backing up your iPhone 4s in iTunes, which is causing issues finishing the sync of your device. The following resource should help resolve your issue, as it refers to the exact error message you described:

Why does the new Quicktime NOT play my old MOV files?

Hi Folks.
I'm using the lasted updated Yosemite on a 3-year old iMac.
Back in my early iMac days (3 years ago), I imported my camcorder's AVCHD files
into iMove or Final Cut Express and converted them to Quicktime MOV files.
Turns out they were rendered by Apple or Final Cut into MOV files using the
Apple Intermediate codec. I had no choice over this.
Until I upgraded to Yosemite, I was able to preview any of these movies
very easily in the Finder. Simply highlight the movie, press the spacebar,
and it opens, in a real-time, real-size screen, with a simple play-pause button
in the progress bar at the bottom. Never had a problem with any previous
Mac OS.
Now when I click on the file in the finder, instead of a movie preview, I get a
big, silent QT "Mov" icon that just sits there looking silly.
I double click it to open it up in Quicktime, and it attempts to go through this
lengthy conversion process, taking at least as long as the movie is in minutes,
then asking me if I want to save this new "converted" version.
Fortunately, I have an old version of Quicktime 7 on my Mac, and QT 7 opens it
and plays it no problem. No "conversion" necessary. No cumbersome and
space-hogging needs to create a "cloned" copy, just so the new, lame version
of Quicktime can play it.
What's up, Apple? AIC was YOUR codec that YOUR SOFTWARE chose to
transcode into. Now, your new Quicktime does NOT support this codec?
And your old version does? And why might THAT be?
Really, this is so elementary. This is not rocket science. Just like JPG images
not displaying properly in Mac Mail now. It begs the question "why" ...?
I mean, for the elementary preview abilities that always made Mac such a
friendly computer ... *uh* ... where is that?
And here we go, wasting hours of time, looking for fixes that should not
have to be "fixed"...
Did I miss something? Or did you?

Aeclay: here's a couple of ideas. And an answer to your earlier post.
Basically two options to work with here:
Store the files as native AVCHD files... OR
Convert the files to Quicktime
I keep two archives of my AVCHD recordings, partly for backup, and partly for Sony's ability to archive nicely in it's own native format on it's PC-friendly utility called "PMB". (came wtih both my NEX and ALPHA cameras). I have an old PC that I use for my complete archive; Sony's PMB utility works only on PC's and will do a good job both of archiving, providing a thumbnail database, and re-writing your choice to removable media in it's typical Sony hierarchy.
If you've only got Mac's, you can still archive your AVCHD recordings; copy them to folders named or organized to your own spec's. AVCHD is a high-quality compression format, and they'll take up way less disk space than converted Quicktime MOV files. You can open and play all AVCHD movies quite easily with VLC player.
The only extra trick to be aware of here is this. The only reason you would need to preserve the intact "sony" folders (named "AVCHD" / "BMDV" etc) is is you were using Adobe Premiere as a video editor. Somehow, it needs the hierarchical folder stuff in place to properly index the files. Not mandatory, but helpful if you are a Premiere user. Otherwise, forget the weird "package" folders; just right-click (ctrl-click) on them, choose "view package contents" and MOVE the MTS files out of the Sony hierarchy for permanent storage. Use VLC player to open and view them.
From that point on, you have control over how you manage the files and what intermediate or end-user format you convert them to for your own use.
I'm not clear on your other question about the files that add the word "converted" on. Of course Mac will convert to Quicktime MOV files. Not sure what codec they're using now, likely H.264. Anyway, don't bother converting. It'll take up a lot of time and waste a lot of disk space.
ps. I just found this free utility on the internet. It's called "MTS CONVERTER". I have not tried it, but it claims to be able to convert all AVCHD files to various useable formats.
Good luck! (and happy Valentine's Day!)

I deleted iTunes when it said "iTunes could not back up iPhone because the backup could not be saved on the computer"and now it wont let me install it again and keeps saying "itunes cannot be installed because the file cannot be found in the cabinet "

iTunes told me to delete my backup folder when I was having problems syncing my phone to my computer. After that it wouldn't work at all. After trying and trying I deleted iTunes when it said "iTunes could not back up iPhone because the backup could not be saved on the computer"and now it wont let me install it again and keeps saying "itunes cannot be installed because the file cannot be found in the cabinet ". What the **** itunes? Nothing is working!!
I wanted to update my iTunes so I could sync my phone to my computer and update my phones software so I can use the latest apps that need a 4.2 or higher.
This is not fun for me so if anyone knows what I can do to fix this please help. Is it possible to download the "cabinent file" with the lastest iTunes?
Thank you.

My phone is the iPhone4 and my computer is a Windows Vista

I doubt that corrupt files are the problem. It is more likely a space or permissions issue. Is the hard-drive on which iTunes is stored close to capacity? Do you (or the particular user profile you have logged on with) have the requisite permissions to save to that drive?
Otherwise, do you get an error code? This might point us in the right direction.

My Time Capsule has stopped backing up. I have an Apple Time Capsule which backs up by wireless. For the last 3 days it has not backed up. I get this message: "The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk.

My Time Capsule has stopped backing up.
I have an Apple Time Capsule which backs up by wireless. For the last 3 days it has not backed up. I get this message:
"The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk."
I have gone into Mac Help and followed this down to stage 4:
under shared it lists my time capsule and my husband's iMac - both use the time machine but we have switched his off temporarily. Clicking on my Time capsule I get "Connected" and "Sharepoint" - I didn't have to enter connect or password
I don't understand stage 5: how and where do I select the disk or volume that contains Time Machine backups ? How do I know which it is? My disk utility lists 160.04 TOSHIBA MK... with sub-heading Macintosh HD. It also lists (with a "CD" icon) HL-DT-ST DVDRW GS22N
Under stage 6, how and where do I Locate your backup ? I try dragging my Time capsule from Finder to the Disk Utility side panel but it won't go. What is my computer's name?
Please someone help! I'm completely stumped.
Thanks,
Maggie
Mac Help says:
If you back up to a Time Capsule or network disk:
Open the Time Machine pane of System Preferences, and slide the switch to Off.
Open Time Machine preferences
Open Disk Utility, which is in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.
Open Disk Utility
Make sure the Time Capsule or network disk is turned on and available.
Open a Finder window, select your Time Capsule or network disk in the Shared section of the sidebar, and click Connect. If necessary, enter your user name and password.
On the Time Capsule or network disk, select the disk or volume that contains Time Machine backups. Depending on how your Time Capsule is set up, there may be one or more disks or volumes.
Locate your backup, and drag it to the Disk Utility sidebar.You can identify your backup by looking for your computer’s name in the backup’s filename.

Why does the iPad Mini not have music play count?

I bought an iPad Mini and also have a macbook. I had listened to various music on my iPad Mini the other day, however when I connected the iPad Mini to the Macbook and iTunes via the lightning connector to sync, it synced the ratings I gave the songs I listened to on the mini, but no play count, as if I had not listened to anything. I hope there is something I can do about this as I often look at my play count!!

It should work work but these kind of bugs pop up between updates, both hardware and software. Try closing all apps in the recently used list on the iPad. Double tap the Home button, tap and hold one of the icons at the bottom till they wiggle then tap the to close them. Tap the Home button to get back to the Home screen then hold the sleep button till you see the slide to power off message. Once it has powered down completely hold the Sleep button till the Apple icon appears.

Re: Why does the iPad Mini not have music play count?
Nov 18, 2012 11:34 AM (in response to Katrina UK)
Does it even really matter...?
Many people including myself rely on playcounts to control smart playlist to manage large libraries. Smart playlists can be created to show your most or least played tracks and used more or less as your favorites or other uses. Along with playcounts the date is transferred so to keep a fresh list of music on my smaller iPods a smart playlist set to songs not played in the last month keeps some fresh tunes on it.
Playcounts are also used to manage Podcasts in iTunes to delete older episode. Bookmarks, which can also be effected by this, can mess up audiobooks, movies and podcast playback between different devices. So yes, it does matter.
