Writer can't see projects in Robo Version Control - no error messages

Background:
Robo Version Control 3.1
RoboHelp 8 (same issue happened with 7)
Issue:
We are having trouble with our source control, and I wasn't able to find an answer on this forum or on Google.
From time to time, when a writer opens RoboSource Control Explorer, they can't see any projects. They're not getting error messages, they seem to connect to the DB, but the left pane is simply empty (they don't see the root folder or anything else). We recently upgraded to RoboHelp 8, but this has happened on RoboHelp 7 too. Source control does work - for example, if they open their local version of a version controlled project, they can get the latest version of files, check in, check out and so on. They simply can't use RSC Explorer, so they can't Get projects they don't have on their HDDs already.
In the meantime, Source Control works just fine for the rest of the team, so I'm guessing it's a problem with some local settings. (The writer who is having trouble now can't get it working on her machine with her personal user or the admin user. At the same time, I can use the admin user just fine from my machine.)
This problem always solved itself after a while, but it's getting a bit annoying and I'm hoping someone knows why this is happening.

In general, manually moving files around inside the store like this should be discouraged.
reconstruct is telling you something is wrong:
ERROR: Inconsistent information: 0 idx records   41 messages   0 expunged
Reconstructing...
cannot retrieve message uid 590
cannot retrieve message uid 807
cannot retrieve message uid 911
cannot retrieve message uid 915
cannot retrieve message uid 1198
cannot retrieve message uid 1286The first line is to be expected based on what you have done. The store.idx indicates there are no messages in the folder. But it found 41 .msg files. So it is going to rebuild store.idx to fix that.
But then there is some problem with accessing the .msg files. Possibilities would include:
- wrong ownership/permissions?
- the .msg file being in the wrong NN subdir ??
If those guesses do not lead to anything, try truss on the reconstruct command to see what happens when reconstruct tries to open those files.

    and how do I fix it?

    First, I don't know. You may want to contact Apple. Second, though, try renaming the file, moving it to a new location, or both.

    These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
    Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
    If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? (For example, 8007000B.)

    Safari won't load and I can't update my software, ie., I get an error message.  What can I do to fix this?

    You can't install Safari 3 on your 10.3.9 OS.
    You must use the DVD installer to re-install the older version of Safari found on it.
    You can update your operating system buy purchasing Tiger (10.4) and get a more modern version of Safari.

    Hi 99jon,
    Many thanks for that. Had been going through this list yesterday and now again today:
    Ref  Solution 1: Lightroom is at its latest update
    Ref  Solution 2: It's interesting how I cannot find the Preferences file anywhere on my mac. (new mac pro, OS 10/9.2) . . .
    Ref  Solution 3: Lightroom doesn't allow me to do anything after the error message appears
    Ref  Solution 4: don't have any Nik Software plug-ins
    Ref  Solution 5: checked permissions and changed all to "Read & Write" - makes no difference
    Ref  Solution 6: I don't have a different user account on my mac.
    Not sure what else to do.

    I have an iMac(mid2010) running Pages v5.5.1 on OS X 10.10. Why can I not save or share documents. The error message is You can’t save the file “TEST.pages” because the volume is read only.

    Some of your user files (not system files) have incorrect permissions or are locked. This procedure will unlock those files and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
    sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

    Hello joelfromn. charleston,
    It seems you are unable to activate iMessage on a device with no carrier service. The following article provides information regarding activation issues:
    If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support
    Check your device settings
    Make sure that you’re connected to a cellular data or Wi-Fi network. If you're using an iPhone, you'll need SMS messaging to activate your phone number with iMessage and FaceTime. Depending on your carrier, you might be charged for this SMS.
    Go to Settings > General > Date & Time and make sure that your time zone is set up correctly.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

    Can't download itunes update.  Keep getting this error message:  THe program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer.  Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem

    I researched the advice on the link provided by b noir as well as very similar advice from apple support: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376. It worked for me (for now).
    Some things of note:
    I did all of the things requested by the link I provided
    My computer WOULD NOT uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support. I had to manually remove the folder (also as instructed by the url)
    I also uninstalled MobileMe. Was a little different than removing the other apps. Follow instructs provided here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2992
    I did not uninstall iCloud
    I have to admit it was a bit scary removing all those things. Is important to note that when re-installing Apple, follow steps to do so as Administrator (the right-click thingy and whatnot).
    Hope this helps!

    You will need to do what it says, contact iTunes Support. These are user-to-user support forums, if you thought you were contacting Apple by posting here. Go here:
