Windows user file with '

Has anyone had a problem getting creative cloud to work when you have a windows user folder with '&' in it. e.g 'Rob & Mich'?

I do know that ODD characters in file/folder names cause problems for Premiere Pro and Encore, so I would find it "likely" that odd characters would do the same for the Cloud in general

HT4889 Can I merge the new migrated users files with the admin user on the new mac?

I used the migration assistant to transfer users, files, apps etc from my MacBook Pro to my new iMac. I had already set up the desktop with my name as the user. So, during transfer, it created a new user... So, I want the initial user and the new transfer user accounts to be merged. Is this possible? If not, does it matter?
Thanks.

It's possible by using the Shared folder to move items into and then into your admin account.
It can be messy. If it were me I'd do a factory reset and then do the migration in Setup Assistant.

Windows user groups with # character ok?

I wanted to know if a windows user group is used in SQL server 2008R2 which contains a naming convemtion that includes the # character would operate ok within BizTalk databases.
eg. domain\#mg-dd-something
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

But in this context, its the backslash that is the special character. A legal identifier in SQL Server consists of alphanumeric characters + plus the characters _, #, @ and $. Of these $ can never been used initially. @ can only be used initially for variables.
# can be used initially without restrictions except for objects in sys.objecs, where it only can be used for stored procedures and tables and for these have a special meaning. For non-object objects, # can be used freely. Underscore should never been an issue,
as it is commonly used an identifier in many languages.
So this is legal:
create login #nisse@manpower with password ='hult'
Whether you should use it? There is certainly a bigger risk that you run into issues. Not necessarily in SQL Server itself. It could also be with other MS products or third-party software. And not forget people in your organisation who will be confused by
it.

Sharing Windows XP files with Mountain Lion Macs

We have a mixed network with a Windows XP PC acting as a file and application server (no choice the application is PC specific). Just introduced a new user with a new MacBook with 10.8.2 and some (but only some) of the folders in the main shared directory on the Windows XP have a no entry symbol. Is this something to do with 10.8.2 or have I just not set up the Windows permissions correctly?

Thanks for trying to help. I wish it were a domain but unfortunately not and the PC is XP as it supports an old shared program. I may have found a good enough answer in KB 304040 but that will have to wait for the MacBook Air that was showing the problem to visit again.

Windows Users file access SLOW

XServe 10.4.11
Connecting to my Home Directory with a XP machine. I can see all my files, but it takes forever to open them.
Launching AppleWorks 6 on the PC is fine, but opening a document off the server takes over 120 seconds to display. During the time it is 'trying' to open, it seems the PC is locked up.
This is happening on all our PCs as well. Our Macs have no problems opening the same files.
The same slow network access is happening when the PCs try to open Word documents stored on the Server as well.
What settings can I tweak (from the defaults) to allow my PC users to access their documents off the server?
We were hoping to eliminate the Netware Servers at our High School, but this test we are doing at our Adm Bldg is NOT going very well at all.

That wasn't it. Documents on PCs still take a LONG time (opening an AppleWorks 6 document for example on a PC took over 1 minute).

Easiest way to access windows media files with DRM?

hi,
i've got a whole bunch of music and vid files from an old PC that I can't access on my MBP because they use windows media DRM that is not available for OSX. they won't play with flip 4 mac either.
my question is: what's the easiest and least invasive way to get access to these files on the MBP? I realise I could use bootcamp and install XP, or do the same with parallels.. but, I don't want to sacrifice the huge amount of drive space needed to get XP working (nor do I really want to have to buy a copy of XP) with either bootcamp or parallels, because I'd really never ever use windows.. only ever to access these files.
I've heard there is another virtualisation option out there that doesn't even require a full copy of windows, but I don't know what it is or if this was just mistaken hearsay. if anyone has any ideas about if something like this exists, I'd like to hear about it..
cheers...

You might be thinking of Crossover. Not sure if Windows Media Player works under it, but their website has info on requested and working apps.
Best of luck.

Error synching Windows 7 Contacts with Desktop Manager

Hi
I'm new here and would appreciate any help you can give.
I''m having trouble synching the email addresses in my Windows Contacts file with my Blackberry. Not all email addresses synchronise properly, which is probably because they are sourced from several different databases previously. There doesn't seem to be a way to map the fields accurately as the Windows 7 contacts folder shows the field as "E-mail Address" and the Desktop Manager shows the field being imported from Windows as "Preferred Address". This mapping only transfers those addresses which were previously exported from a BB/Lotus Notes database.
I've tried exporting to csv's and changing the field names as well as importing through Outlook 2010 rather than WIndows but with no success.
Has anybody else had this problem and found a solution?
Any advice or suggestions welcomed.

In this knowledge base solution it says to run BlackBerry Desktop Software.msi, but on BlackBerry Desktop Software 6, it need to run from setup.exe and cannot continue.. so I cannot install desktop software 6 on my computer, but I am able to install older version desktop software ie. version 4.2 to version 5.

Hi ihalimsujanto and welcome to the forums!
My first concern is that you do have a version of desktop manager that you can maintain your device and PIM data with, do you?
Please post back with as much detail as possible regarding your hardware and software setup.
Also post what steps you have taken to resolve the issue. The more detail we have the better we can help you. I'll reread KB 19300 and find what happened to my broken link.

System Administrator User Files trashed

I made a really dumb move and placed my System Administrator Account User Files in the Trash File. I did this under the Other User Account on my Mac iBook G4 which does NOT have Sys Admin authorization (the files were moved when I authorized the move using my system Administration name and password). Now I have no active System Administrator authority and I can't access my old user files with all my documents, websites, pictures and music accumulated over the past 4 years! These User Files are also protected by File Vault which was set ON. I subsequently have used my Other User Account to move the files from Trash to my Desktop but I can't Open them Up. I have Mac OS X 10.4.11. Can anyone please help me? I think the right procedure may be to setup a New System Administrator Account (or perhaps give this authority to the current Other User Account) and then somehow Reassign or Re activate the Old System Administrator Account and Activate/Open that User Files. Any Ideas out there?

Thanks BDAqua for your very helpful information - I was able to setup a new Sys Admin using your commands. But I still have a major problem in that I can't get to my old Sys Admin User Files where All my past data, documents, pics, music exists. I have my old Sys Adm password (but it doesn't seem to work). I have tried to Open these up using my old/same Mac Master PW (which does still work), but I can't get the system to ask me for it in lieu of my user password. Here are the responses I get:
1. Restart my iBook: it shows 3 user accounts for which I select my old Sys Adm Account:
a. Yesterday I did get the old Sys Adm Account to show up after Restart I kept entering the Old PW but the Mac just shuddered the box and asked for it again; I entered it 7 times with same response. I never did go to the next level and ask for my Mac Master PW.
b. Today I can't get to the ols Sys Adm Log In Box after seveal tries, the Mac responds with Msg "You are unable to log in to the user account "(name)" at this time."
2. From New Sys Adm account log in: I go to System Preferences and open Accounts and unlock access with my new Sys Adm PW; I then select my old Sys Adm account. It comes up as:
Name in BOLD FONT (OK)
Short Name in FAINT FONT (which I cannot change/access)
(Below to Right is an Oval) "reset Password" which appears in FAINT FONT and is also not accessible
I do have my OS X Install Disc 1 & 2 (ver 10.4.4) original DVDs. The old Sys Adm user files are FileVault protected (File Folder displays a small red circle with a white dash inside). My files are still there I am certain as I have 40 GB used on my Mac HD.
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated!

Windows user group for BizTalk contains # characters

I wanted to know if a windows user group is used in BizTalk Server 2013 which contains a naming convention that includes the # character would operate ok in BizTalk and SQL. PLease see the example below:
eg. domain\#mg-dd-BizTalk-SSO-Affiliate-Admins
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Chris,
There are some naming conventions followed while creating the Windows user groups. not a concrete ones..one of them is here.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc775802(v=ws.10).aspx
When it comes to BizTalk, if I can recollect, one of our clients had Windows user group with a symbol like yours which did work without any issues. But we suggested them to change the user group's name as this could affect some of our automated scripts like
Powershell/C# programs. For which they agreed and changed their Windows user group to ones without any symbols.
Yes, this would work but might fail for any of your automated maintenance scripts. Note: This experience with my client is with BizTalk 2006 and I have tested the case for latest versions.
If this answers your question please mark it accordingly. If this post is helpful, please vote as helpful by clicking the upward arrow mark next to my reply.

I want to use iChat video and file sharing with Windows users

Nowadays, iChat is compatible with AOL/AIM, Google Talk, Jabber, Mac.com and MobileMe instant messaging services. I know that Yahoo Messenger support will be available soon in Mac OS X Lion.
I tried using AOL/AIM and Google Talk natively in iChat in order to talk with Windows users which were using Google Talk application or web chatting (Me from: Google Talk - My friends from: Google Talk, and Me from: AOL/AIM - My friends from: Google Talk), but videoconference and file sharing were not available.
I also tried Windows Live Messenger in iChat via Jabber intermediate, but it is not efficient and doesn't work for videoconference and file sharing.
So, which IM service combination I should use to chat with Windows users in order to be able to use videoconference and file sharing using such a great app like iChat?
Thanks you.

Hi,
A lapsed Trial or lapsed Paid for MobileMe account will not work in any fashion, as a Screen Name in iChat/AIM apps or as a Email. (Of course it is no longer an Valid Apple ID either).
Given that Google is a Jabber server iChat will Video (or Audio Only) Chat Jabber to Jabber.
With a Valid AIM name (AIM, MobileMe or @mac.com) then it is supposed to work to AIM on a PC
This tends to vary from person to person as to success.
From AIM version 6.5 AIM introduced a Send as Typing feature called "Real Time"
It does not work to iChat and in fact also has to be turned Off in the Buddy List at the AIM end for Video or Audio chats to work.
The AIM app also has to be allowed through the Windows Firewall as an Exception, preferably with UPnP enabled as well and UPnP enabled in their Router.
Trillian is a paid for App for PCs that provide an alternative.
Recently theri site offered 3 windows versions
The Pro version of verion 3.2 (known to work), a version 4 and a version 5 in beta. The version 3.2 used to have a free Text chat version and only the Pro version was needed to Video.
Until the site was reorganised the 3.2 version was "On Sale" at a reduced price.
It seems version 5 is now out of beta
They are still separating out a Pro version.
It is a multi-service client
There is also a Mac version although I have not tried it.
I am not sure what you mean by "Manage" your MSN Contacts.
How about using a MobileMe expired account screen name for using iChat with Windows-Google Talk users? Should I expect the same incompatibilities?
I have already addressed part of this. The fact the name will not work full stop.
However one way of reading this is that you are thing of linking AIM and Jabber (Google) Buddies in one Buddy List
Directly in iChat this cannot be done - unless you are the one with the Jabber Account and an AIM Transport set up.
You would be subject to the same Text Chat only restrictions.
It is a bit like the fact your phone line can be used for Fax, Telephone and DSL broadband. (in fact mine does TV as well)
You granny would not be able to talk to your Fax machine if that happened to answer the call.
Her Fax machine might be able to communicate with your computer if you had an active Fax app on there, and a dail-up modem active to answer.

Windows 8.1 erasing and changing files with chkdsk on external drives. Unnaceptable.

I work for IT support for a small production studio.
They use Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 for they workstations and linux on the rendering farm.
There is an automated system with a nas to make backups of the production assets and renderings.
They have ESATA ports on all the wokstations and use external hard drives to make backups of users files, each user has the responsability of make his /her own backup of personal files (or files from his computer that belong to production like photoshop
patterns, brushes, licenses, rendering tests, plugins, etc).
A week ago the main hard drive of one of the workstations failed.
No problem. New, hard drive, fresh windows install, activation, production software, licenses from license server.
But at the time of restoring the files, the external hard drive of the user contained only old files, and some new but not all. At first time, the user was blamed, but hw swears that he backedup his files. Two days later another user complained that is disk
contained only the old files and his past backup was lost. I was called for help.
After several tests i was able to reproduce the problem:
Windows 8.1: Plug an external disk, make backups, copy new files erase old files, etc, eject the disk using safe removal.
Windows 7: Plug THAT DISK, erase files, copy new files, make backups etc.
Now here comes the problem: PLUG THAT DISK ON ANY COMPUTER WITH WINDOWS 8.1. A few seconds later windows reports that the disk had problems but some corrections were made and everything is ok. IT'S NOT. Any file copied from the prevous backup
is erased (or now it has zero size) and previously erased files are there again. Some of these files are corrupted now but windows says that the disk is OK.
-All the Workstations are up to date with a WSUS (as far as i know).
-The external hard disks are OK (even i used a new formated disk attached to an itnernal port to reproduce the problem.
Moving the backup disk between Windows 7 workstations is ok.
Moving the backup disk between Windows 8.1 workstations sometimes triggers the problem.
Moving the backup disk from a windows 7 workstation to a Windows 8.1 workstation ALWAYS triggers the problem.
Windows 8.1 automatically triggers chkdsk and autorepair the disk a few seconds after insertion unless the user has the disk busy, in that case pops an alert for resterting the computer, and again erases new files and undelete old ones.
First time in my life i see windows doing something like that to a healthy external hard drive.
The event viewer is filled with chkdsk errors like the 26226 and 26228.
We need a solution and i need an explanation of why this behaviour.
Thanks and sorry for my bad english.

Hi Artag,
I want to know what kind of hard disk is that ? A GPT format or MBR format?
According to your description, the GPT format hard disk might not be detected by a computer with a MBR format hard disk, vice versa, so, I suggest to check the disk format by plugining the hard disk to a bootable Windows 7 system, then:
In the Disk Management console, on the View menu, point to Top, and then click Disk List. The upper pane displays a list of disk drives that specifies the partition style in the last column.
The details about the get disk format steps and information about GPT format, you can find it below:

Besides, a screenshot will be helpful for solving this.

How do I install Elements for Windows 7 PC with 64 bit? Get error message - file archive part missing

We purchased Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12 on September 7, 2014 and have tried a variety of things including searching through FAQs on the Adobe site, etc. etc. and cannot get our downloads to work. We are avid computer users and have never had problems downloading software before.
From our account under "orders" - I have tried clicking on the Akamai download manager and the Alternate Download Method on for each application with the same results.
We have a Windows 7 PC with a 64 bit operating system and Internet Explorer 11.
On all attempts we get an Adobe screen with 2 links – 1 for a file ending in .7z and a 2nd file ending in .exe.
I click on the first file and confirm the download completes at 100% (not paused, etc.) and is in the downloads folder for my user name on the PC.
I click on the 2nd link for .exe and I receive the error message below – 2nd screen shot – “file archive is missing” all folders/files must be in same folder.
So I see it’s a winzip file (as a winzip pop up folder had come up also) so I download the free version and unzip the files in the same downloads folder under my user name to try that.
I click on .exe file link again and same message. I tried copying the files directly to the downloads folder (as they all unzipped into a subfolder called PSE 12 and tried clicking on .exe again but get the same message.
For Premiere I tried the same and got same results on the 64 bit version download.
I do not know how to access the software we purchased.
Any help or advice is appreciated.
Also - if anyone knows how I can contact Adobe for a full refund so I can just buy the boxed software instead - that would be helpful as well as that is not easy to find online either.
Thanks!
Ariel

I get an error message saying that the quicktime installer will only work on 32 bit
The QuickTime player works on 64-bit systems. (It's a 32-bit application, but it should run fine using the standard 32-bit-on-64-bit Windows-on-Windows emulation.)
What's the precise text of your installation error message, dc? (There one or two different ones I can think of that might mention 32-bit)

I am using Windows 8 with iTunes. How do I manage iTunes with two different Windows User Accounts?

I have recently bought a laptop running Windows 8 and downloaded iTunes. I subscribe to iTunes Match and have a large amount of purchased music and imported CDs, along with some films purchased from iTunes.
I have downloaded all of the music and the films to the laptop using iTunes Match when logged in under my User Account in Windows 8. However, when we switch to my girlfriend's User Account, she can load up iTunes but all the music and films have the cloud symbol on them indicating that they need to be downloaded
Is is necessary to download everything to the computer twice (I can't really believe this is the answer) or are we missing something in terms of using iTunes with two different User Accounts?
Thank you.

Step 1
Create a new user account on your device. For Mac users, choose “System Preferences” from the Apple Menu and navigate to the “View” menu. Click on “Accounts” and select the “+” button to add a new user account to your machine. Edit the user information and grant any relevant privileges by following the on-screen prompts.
For Windows users, click on the Windows "Start" button, select “Control Panel” and choose “Add or Remove User Accounts.” A new window will open. Click “Create a New Account.” Name the account and set any relevant privileges by following the on-screen prompts.
Step 2
Sign in to the new user account you created.
Step 3
Open iTunes and click “Sign in.” Enter your Apple ID and password and log in.
Step 4
Download purchases through the iTunes store. All files related to these purchases are stored under the separate user account, thus separating both iTunes accounts and their libraries on the same computer.
Step 5
You can share music from both libraries by dragging your music library to a publicly accessible location on your computer. Click “Preferences” from the iTunes menu and deselect “Copy files to iTunes Media Library when adding to library file.” Add the shared folder to your library from the “File” menu.
Tip
Create more than one library from the same user account by deselecting “Copy files to iTunes Media Library when adding to library file” from the “Preferences” menu. Add the files you want to iTunes by dragging and dropping or by opening from the “File” menu and sync your device to that library. Quit iTunes after the sync and reopen iTunes while holding the "Shift" key in Windows or the "Option" key on a Mac.

How can I burn a video shot with an iPhone 4 to a CD so a Windows user can watch it?

I shot a short video with my AT&T iPhone 4 and it's stored in iPhoto 9.1.5 on my iMac running OS X 10.6.8. What do I need to do in order to burn it to a CD so I can give it to a Windows user so he can view the video on his PC running Vista? I'm not sure about the video file format needed for Windows to play the video. Thanks for any help you can provide. I know this is likely a very basic question, but nothing I've tried seems to work. Any suggestions or links to resources that can answer this question will be deeply appreciated.

You should be able to connect to their computer via your USB cable, copy the video over using Windows Explorer and the PC should be able to view it without any conversion.
When you do this, make sure they don't have iTunes set to automatically open and automatically sync when an iOS device is connected.

Windows user can no longer connect to my File Sharing IP address

Hello,
Since updating to OS X 10.4.9, Windows users can no longer connect to my file sharing IP address.
I have had no problems when I was using 10.4.8, and I have re-checked both the Windows computer and my Mac to make sure that the file sharing connection should be possible.
I think this may be some sort of firewall / security issue (?) in that the 10.4.9 update has downloaded something which now "hides" my Mac at this IP address. I am unsure how to resolve this problem.
Does anyone have a suggestion? Much obliged, in advance.

Can the Mac connect to the PC?
Have you checked the Workgroup is the same on the Mac
in Directory Access>CIS/SMB?
Have you tried turning off the Firewall for a test?
Has the IP changed?
Hello!
Thank you for the suggestive questions above. I haven't "tested" any of them because I simply became exasperated with the "change" in 10.4.9 and went back to system 10.4.8
Of course, now everything is right with the world and I can once again have my Windows computer connect to my Mac.
Thank you for taking the time in trying to help me -- much obliged.
