Why do the .default profile folders in XP and 7 have different names?

I am a new user of SugarSync online backup that synchronizes folders between computers. My XP has a Firefox profile folder wjfvu1mr.default, and Window 7 has a profile folder 6fogozjd.default. Both systems use Firefox 4.0. I cannot sync these folders between systems because they have different names. Any ideas so I can use SugarSync? Rename on of thee .default folders?
BTW. I would like to use SugarSync to do this but what about Firefox Sync? I know nothing about how that works.

Profile folders are named randomly for your security. However, you should be able to change the name if you like. I have not tested this procedure, so you might want to wait for further input.
First, make a backup: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information].
Next, with Firefox closed, rename your profile folder.
Then, navigate up to C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox and edit the path in profiles.ini to match the new folder name.
Regarding Firefox Sync, since it works with desktops and mobile, I don't think it relies on profile names to match up. But Firefox Sync is a very young offering and may not have the full functionality of SugarSync.

Why are the nr of records in RSDDSTATBIAUSE and RSDDSTAT_DM are different?

For a given period I am trying to find out how many times BIA was used.
First I went to RSDDSTATBIAUSE table for the Cube ZCUBE123 and check the number in the field BIA_USED.
For the same period I went to RSDDSTAT_DM view, and checked the number of entries for the same period under the AGGREGATE=ZCUBE123$X. The numbers are not matching. Why?
And what's the right way to get this achive what I am trying to do?
Thanks
Tansu
PS: This is not non-cumulative cube.

Well, that's the question we had the other time as well why you cannot match numbers between RSDDSTAT* tables, Tech.Content InfoCubes and ST03N
I believe it is a question to SAP Developers on what's the logic (filters? classifications?) when writing to thiese tables.

CG36 - No virus scan profile is selected as the "default profile"

When running transaction CG36 - Import Reports, I'm getting this message in the job log:
"No virus scan profile is selected as the "default profile" VSCAN 034 I"
Do I have to set up a default profile for virus scan? I have never seen this error until recent upgrade. Is there a way to by pass this virus scan if we choose not to activate it?
Thanks!

I encountered the same problem during the CG36 transaction.
"Error during virus scan in file "...\usr\sap\.....\xixoxoxioxo.pdf" with Message class "CM_REPORT_IMP_EXP" 010 E
Job cancelled after system exception ERROR_MESSAGE.
This may be due to BASIS security level virus scan checks on the files being imported to the application server. Is BASIS assistance required on this or any workaround to bypass?
Thank you.

I can not remember my icloud password. I would like to recover it but the difficulty is my apple id and Icloud have differnt passwords and the links for recovery all work only to chnage my apple id password.

I can not remember my icloud password. I would like to recover it but the difficulty is my apple id and icloud have different passwords and the links for recovery all work only to change my apple id password. SO how do I recover the icloud password?

An Apple ID is used for everything (including this site) and including iCloud. See the quote below from https://appleid.apple.com/
There is no such thing as an iCloud password but it is possible that you have 2 Apple IDs and you are using one of them for iCloud.
An Apple ID is your user name for everything you do with Apple: Shop the iTunes Store, enable iCloud on all your devices, buy from the Apple Online Store, make a reservation at an Apple Retail Store, access the Apple Support website, and more.

hi do the following
1. In Search programs and files (Windows 7) area, type in regedit, and press Enter.
2. If prompted click yes,
3. expand the following HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
4. click the sid that related to your admin profile (if you not sure, click each sid and in turn look to the right hand side of registry editor it will show who that sid is related to one of the registry files should hae in description localhost\admin or
something similair)
5. right click the sid and press delete.
6. restart your machine and log back on with the admin account, this will then rebuild the admin profile... dont worry when it loads and none of your personal settings are saved or files or folders... go to c:\users
in here you will see two folders for the admin account, one will be just admin and the other most likely admin.localhost
i cant remember which one is which but just check both, one will still have all your files and folders in it.
i suggest making a backup of your data before doing this incase something does go wrong, but ive had this happen many times in a domain enviorment and has worked for me everytime.

How does the Default profile works?

we are using MSCS cluster.
On last week, I found SAPGLOBALHOST and SAPDBHOST are pointed to wrong server in default.pfl in
<CLUSTER>\SAPMNT\PRD\SYS\profile. I changed both parameter to currently server name and restart service. Therefore, we lost zcsa/installed_languages parameter in PRD_DVEBMGS01_<CI_SERVER> file. I have to add this parameter again in RZ10.
My question is:
Why SAP can start up correctly when the SAPGLOBALHOST and SAPDBHOST were wrong ? I don't think anybody changed this parameter without notice.
Where is the old zcsa/installed_languages parameter stored? I searched all servers, I couldn't find this parameter.
Thank you

Check SAPGLOBALHOST and SAPDBHOST parameters in Instance profile. If the values in the instance profile is correct it will override the default profile values. Also check the environmental variables like DB_HOST etc.
When you change the value of zcsa/installed_languages didn't save it as a new version?If you save as a new version then go to profile directory and check DEFAULT.PFL.<n>

Only the default profile and still cannot reset browser

I am running the new Windows 8.1 and just re-installed Waterfox 27. The browser keeps informing me that it is running slowly. The links send me to nowhere because my profile apparently doesn't show the reset button in Help / troubleshooting. The only profile I can locate indicates it is the default profile. This profile only has an alpha-numeric name that was self generated at some point.
I was using Waterfox on a previous Laptop using Win7x64 Ultimate I owned, it has sense died. This new Lenovo unit was installed with Windows 8, I allowed the upgrade to 8.1.Operates with an Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4200U CPU @ 1600GHz 2.30GHz, 64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor.
Waterfox has installed itself in the "C:\Program Files\Waterfox\waterfox.exe" folders. I have done an un-install, a reinstall, of your browser.

Try to use the Profile Manager to start Firefox/Waterfox with this default profile. 
You only see the Reset button if Firefox is started with the profile that is marked as Default=1 in the profiles.ini file.

Impersonate User: Mimic another user similar to the Default Profile

I'm looking for a way as an Administrator to impersonate another user similar to the way you can login to the portal using the Default Profiles.
Example: I select a user to impersonate and then click a button. I'm then in the portal as that user.
There may be a problem opening documents, etc, but I'm more interested in making sure that I see the content that the other person is seeing.
It would be a great help to diagnose security problems such as "Why can't I see this portlet, etc."
One solution I thought of was to switch ID's in the PTUSERS table. This solution wouldnt' want to go any further than dev though. I don't really like this solution because if you forget to switch them back or they are in the portal when you switch them......there's a problem.

I think that changing the PTUsers table is unlikely to do what you want. It's likely to break the system because there are a number of other tables that contain data about users, and you have not changed those tables. Additionally, information may be cached in memory, so changing the tables would not change that information.
I think that there is a significantly easier way to do this, though it may still not be easy. The IPTSession interface supports a function called ImpersonateUser. If you are logged into the Portal as an Administrator, you can call ImpersonateUser to switch your session over to that of another user- from then on, the Server will treat you as the second user.
This is a very easy call to make, but it's only half the story- the UI also has to know to treat you as the new user (e.g. use the correct language settings, flush cached session info, etc.) This is basically like doing a login. I don't know the details of how this would be done (a discussion forum about UI customization would be more useful here), but I could imagine doing something like copying the login screen logic to a second, "hidden" login screen which takes in a username, but no password. The page would only operate if you were already logged in as an Administrator, but it would perform the "standard" login logic, except that it would do Session.ImpersonateUser on the pre-existing session instead of creating a new session and logging in as the new user.

"where does firefox 'profiles' end up in Windows 7? I see there are duplicate 'default'profiles in a local and roaming folders.

I am moving my 'profile' from one netbook (which uses Windows XP) to a newer netbook (using Windows 7 starter). I have found two folders off the 'users/(my name)/local' and 'users/(my name)/roaming' that seem to be duplicate default profile folders. When I copy my profile from the older netbook, how do I know which folder to put it into.
Hope this is clear

The profile folder in the path '''''users/(my name)/local''''' only contains the Cache folder/files and the Safe Browsing information (''urlclassifier3.sqlite'') and a couple of other files. See information about "Cache" and "Offline Cache" under "4.1 Folders" in this article and how to find their location with '''about:cache''': http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox#Folders 
Also see: http://kb.mozillazine.org/About_protocol_links 
You do NOT need to copy/transfer the files & folders in this path to your new notebook, as these files will be automatically rebuilt on the new notebook.
There is also information in that first link about files and folders in your "main" profile folder in the path '''''users/(my name)/roaming'''''.

How to alter the default profile for multiple users

I am trying to alter the default profile assigned to users during user creation to a new profile. I know to change the profile for one user using the syntax
alter user abc profile profileabc
The issue I have is that there are 100's of users under default profile and changing for each of them manually would be difficult. The approach that I see is to write a shell script where I connect to the db and get a list of all the users with default profile. Then I loop through the file making connection to the db each time and executing the alter statement.
Please help if you think that there can be a more efficient approach to this.
Thanks

How do we change the default profile folder location?

I work for a university in Manhattan. We are trying to install Firefox 5 for our users but Firefox profiles are stored in the AppData folder which is a problem for us as it exceeds the user profile space.
We need a way to have Firefox create the profile elsewhere. Is anyone aware of how to do this?

Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to offer a solution to our problem. Unfortunately, the Firefox profile information set under the administrative account does not transfer to the user accounts. Even though we created a Firefox profile set to open to a different location, when a user logs in the default profile, located in AppData, is created for them and they do not have access to the new one.
Are you aware of any way to set the profile of each user to automatically be created elsewhere? Thank you.

How to change the theme in the default profile so new users get a different theme

How can I change the theme (background picture, etc) for the default profile, so that when new users log in and get a new profile created, they get a different theme than the one they currently receive?

Hi,
If you want to get a different theme for new users, based on my understanding, it’s not easy, we can load the specific theme for all user because we can control OS to load this specific theme file.
The default location of theme file is:
C:\Windows\Resources\Themes
To configure OS load different theme for different user, I think this cannot be controlled by a registry key. It’s complicated to make OS choose different theme pack for different user, even more, the theme pack files are limited.
Here is some different but similar discussion about changing theme programmatically:
How do I change the current Windows theme programatically?

Why is the default charset is GBK , not utf-8 or GB18030 for Chinese OS???

Why is the default charset is GBK , not UTF-8 or GB18030 for Chinese OS???
GBK is obsolete in China.
UTF-8 is reasonable for modern computer.

Thus input into java always becomes UTF8.

Accidently deleted the default profile-wher to find old bookmarks to restore?

I accidentally deleted the default profile while try to delete a username for a website, which was memorized by Firefox. On a Mac OSX, where do I find the bookmarks file that was in use before deleting the default profile. I have to restore the bookmarks or at the minimum, gat a list of those with their url so that I can make new.

You are on Mac OS X 10.4, so you do not have the Time Machine that more recent versions have. If you did remove the entire [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and do not have a backup of that folder then all your personal data including the bookmarks is gone.

Enabling Password controls in the Default Profile

After sharing with customer metalink note 114930.1, customer has the following questions:
1. Will Oracle suggest enabling password controls in the profile "Default" that is created during the installation without those controls enabled?
2. Oracle accounts (SYS, SYSTEM etc.) are created with the default profile associated with them (at that time there are no manually created profiles). Does Oracle permit assigning other profiles (created after installation) to those most critical accounts
Any help/direction is much appreciated

Hi,
1/ I don't know if Oracle would suggest that, but I would either enable password control if you have such a requirement, wherever you set it up, or don't touch anything if it's just to leave it disabled... I usually create specific profiles for the users and set up the limits according to the kind/type of users they are.
2/ Don't you have no test instance?
TEST> create profile p limit failed_login_attempts 5;
Profil cr�
TEST> alter user sys profile p;

TEST> alter user system profile p;
