MKLINK errors

I'm trying to reduce my boot partition to clone to a solid state drive (SSD) to do, I want to move some user data folders and their files to another drive, because the active player located in the boot partition will be replaced by the SSD. The SSD is too small to contain everything; so I decided to move files and folders \\Users\username for downloads, My Documents, my music, my pictures, and my videos to another internal hard drive (HDD). It is my understanding that this can best be done by using symbolic links (symlnks).

Who never created before symlnks, I found an article on how to Geek which featured guidelines. I was unable to use the first method described but was able to use the prompt as an administrator to use MKLINK. To shorten the story back, after you run MKLINK and created a folder target on my D partition, I was unable to copy the boot partition to partition the space of the target. I got this error message:

Using File Explorer, I can see the target folder displayed on the D partition. It shows the arrow on the bottom left of the folder icon as it should, but I can't write to the folder, or even display its content. I can right click and delete, but nothing else.

Now at the end of the story back in case it is relevant to the problem. Before you run MKLINK (Administrator) command prompt, I created a folder on my D partition to hold all the files of the boot partition. In this issue of partition D, I created subfolders with the names of the files as they appear on the boot partition: downloads, My Documents, my music, my pictures, my videos. I then copied the contents of these files to the boot partition to the location of the target by using edit > select all > right click > copy. These commands completed without problem. Then I went to the command prompt to run the MKLINK command.

I used the following: MKLINK /J (the explicitly declared target path) (the explicitly declared source path). A command would look like this: MKLINK /J 'D:\target name\Downloads folder' 'C:\USERS\myname\Downloads '. Command failed with a message saying: indeed, only a destination target could not be created in a folder or a file name that exists on the target partition. To remedy this, I used the F3 key to duplicate the command then I changed the name of the folder target in the path to "Downloads2" simply by adding the number to create a unique folder name. As I said, it seemed to work because "Downloads2" appeared as a folder name with the arrow on the folder icon. As I said also, above all, I could not access this folder except in order to select and delete. If it is the subject of an order, I get the message as copied above.

Can someone tell me why it does not work and I have to do to reach the goal of having these written on partition D user files? As far as I know, there is no LNK file written in the boot partition user folder.

It is easier to use the location tab on the properties of my documents etc.. Windows will take care of everything for you.

Recover deleted files from Win 7 related library (mklink) to NAS

Hello, I must have goofed big time but need your expert assistance to see if I can recover files deleted from my Home PC Win 7 Ultimate SP 1 library accounts (which were actions of a NAS). I went to the process of

(a) adding a new folder in my documents from C:\Users\\Documents\Share\Work user account folder

(B) including this file in My Documents library

(c) by deleting this folder on the local drive

(d) used "mklink" command to bind this folder location in a folder NAS, Z:\Work

Tinkering with my computer, I created a new account , moved all my account documents to . Just cut and paste. When moving, I got the error that the folder shared (the link symbolic one) could not be moved because there was no valid local share. (This I understand because I had not done the same steps (a. to d. above) to create the symbolic part first). Then, I assumed that the files had not been moved.

Then, I deleted the account of and returned to . To my surprise, the location of the folder shared documents on library showed no file. I went directly to the NAS (which is also a shared network, Z drive :), and there is no files on the NAS!)

Thus how can the question, I recover files that were deleted on the NAS Server? The NAS is a 1 TB Seagate GoFlex Home. This NAS is based on the computing platform for Marvell Sheeva plug, running a Linux (OS HipServ of Axentra) operating system.

Any help (even using third-party tools) would be most appreciated. I just lost 500GB of data of the past 15 years!

Uninstall software update Apple says error in seller contact package package unstaller

Try to get itunes working to make a backup of my faulty iphone before repair.

First-itunes does not start says error. I'm trying to fix it, who said success but same error when you try to start it.

Then uninstall completely worked. Then reinstall that seemed to be over except for a message "an older version of Apple software update already exists" then he went down and install itunes apparently had not been completed.

Then I try to remove the update from the apple software and executed by an error in the installation program - it says there is an error in the installation and contact the supplier of the installation package. Same error if I run the uninstall command line program.

Try to repair the Apple Software Update of programs & features Control Panel and then try to update iTunes again.

For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

The more information box has direct links with the current and recent if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with third-party software.

Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

An error in this Applescript that I can't understand

Hi, I searched some forums and found this script below which I modified. It works great except for a single statement:

runScript If = 1 then number error -128 I want the script to do is, when a USB drive is mounted and is in the ignoredVolumes as "USB Untitled" I want the script to stop. What I can't understand is, runScript is set to 1, "Untitled USB" Monte, runScript is not changed, why don't the script stops with an error "user cancelled"? On the other hand, if a key USB Monte is not in the ignoredVolumes, runScript is set to 2 and copy the file I want it. What hurts? It's probably something that will be very obvious when I see the answer.

Thanks for any help with this problem,

Mike.

          end say

The way in which your external block If is currently based, the script can't do anything when this book is in the ignoredVolumes, it can not yet test the runScript value. Try something like this:

If the present book is in the ignoredVolumes then

game runScript to 1

on the other

if (the present book as text is not '. ') DS_Store') then

if there are alias (POSIX (' / Volumes / "& the present book) as text file ) then game runScript to 2

end if

end if

Of course, you need to remove a "end if' the end of the script.

Display Rotation error

Hello

I had a problem with the rotation of the screen under macOS Sierra function. As the screen rotates, there is an error that pop up and later that I'm unable to get into system-> Display Preferences. It is for me a "mistake preferably: County not load display preferences" message and I was unable to rotate the screen back. I started from the system in safe mode and temporarily solved the problem. But if I want to rotate the screen again, it pops up the same error again. I was using the rotation function pretty well in OS X El Capitan. But since I updated to macOS Sierra, I had this problem.

I wanted to know if there is a lasting solution to this problem.

I'm using macOS Sierra on MacBook (13-inch, early 2015) Air with processor 1.6 Ghz Intel Core i5 and 8 GB memory DDR3 at 1600 MHz with 128 GB of storage.

Hello PavanGJ,

Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. I see that since upgrading to Mac OS Sierra problems of screen rotation. The preferences window does not. I know how it is important for your Mac to work reliably. I'll be more than happy to help.

Great job to test mode without failure. In Safe Mode disables most of the third-party services, it could be a compatibility problem with an application that you have. Check out this article:

OS X El Capitan: If you have problems with startup items

You can not hold account that the title suggests it's to El Capitan. It applies to macOS Sierra as well.

You can also test the issue in a new user account.

Playgrounds are learning to code 1 download error

Whenever I try to download the playing field 'Learn to Code 1 - basics of the swift' I get an error that says: "not taken download error supported URL. I uninstalled and reinstalled the soft playgrounds several times. Other playgrounds (as 'learning to Code 2 - beyond the basics') download very well. How can I bypass or fix this error and get the first playground of lesson?

Software does not, especially of photoshop...

Any ideas?

On macOS Sierra - Parallels Desktop 12 - error unable to load Parallels driver - error ID 352

I have updated at 10.12 some weeks ago, with no problems.

I used 10 Parallels and put Windows 7 access every day. My Mac software was 100% up-to-date.

After a few weeks, I started Windows and Parallels showed the error "Failed to load the driver" and KB Parallels, I found that I may need to upgrade. As I was planning to upgrade anyway, I upgraded to Parallels 12 and got the same error.

I contacted Parallels support - they responded with this:

Failed to load Parallels driver. Problem ID: 352

Cause

The problem is in the bundle /System/Library/Extensions/IOPCIFamily.kext from Apple. In the bundle's info.plist is damaged due to some reasons.

Resolution

If please contact Apple Support team and send them system.log and corrupt /System/Library/Extensions/IOPCIFamily.kext/Info.plist.

The person wrote that if Apple can't help, we will try to help "."

Is anyone able to help please?

Thank you.

It is a user to user forum, not a team of Apple Support forum. In any event, it sounds like a problem of Parallels as it is unlikely that multiple versions of the operating system have defective or damaged kernel extensions.

For what it's worth, I use Parallels 11 without problem on macOS Sierra to access Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows XP64, Windows 7 and Windows 10 of virtual machines. I think you should go back to parallels Support. I've avoided Parallels 12 because of all the problems users are reporting
