Where is the All Checked Out Items int he Tridion 2011 GUI? In 5.3 it was in the workflow list.

Its in the workflow area of 2011.
Shortcuts -> My Tasks -> Checked-out Items

You'll want to be careful under shortcuts > my tasks > checked out items. That can list not only your checked out items, but everyone else's . So be mindful not to check in other people's items.

What exactly is an "iteration path" in Team Foundation Server?

I'm new to TFS, and using the 2013 edition. What is meant by iteration path?
I see this when clicking on Work > Backlogs > Backlog and then it allows you to create a new User story or Bug with a dropdown for iteration path.
they're your sprints, you set start and stop dates against them so that you can allocate people to tasks and see how it's all going in your sprint.
The iteration dropdown is meant to be used to further separate your backlog areas into iterations and releases.
See here for more information on Areas and Iterations.

Is there an approval database module for Drupal?

I am looking for a module that will help me build an Approval Database. My thought is having a members only site, say 5 different departments (which each member will belong to one of the 5 departments). Have all departments having a say in a project. Each department would approve or reject a version (reject meaning there are changes needed). Once every department approves or rejects, then the project will be approved (if approvals for all departments), or ready and wait for version 2 or 3 or 4 and so on (if there are rejections and issues for following versions). If rejected, there would be a form where the rejecting department could list the issues that need addressed. Once the issues were fixed, a member could click a "complete" button from a radio button or select list. If a department approved in a previous version, they would have some kind of carryover approval where they would not have to approve every time there was a new version. Does anyone know of a module that would point me in the right direction or would have some sort of idea how to achieve this?
thanks for your help in advance!
Use the Drupal core Revisions and Workflow modules (See also the Related Modules on the bootom right page of the Workflow module to get some alternatives). The 5 departments can be a 5 user Roles and the permissions can be handled by Field_permissions module. Issues can be Comments below each project. Of course, each Project can (and should) be a Node.
In any case, the functionality you describe needs a good knowledge of Drupal and can be done using several modules and approaches.

Dynamics Ax 2012 Missing Category Column in EcoResProductCategory

We are having an issue with the form EcoResProductCategory. At one point, this form had a column named 'Category' that our company utilized. Somehow this column has gone missing. My team develops on the CUS level and there is a vendor that I believe pushes additions to the level lower. As of now, there is no CUS level customization to this form. When looking at the form in the AOT, it appears that the Category field is in fact present (and visible in the properties). But once the form is opened, it still doesn't show.
Any ideas or pointers? I am still new to Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 and I apologize for asking a question like this.
Another Note: When compared to the AX Demo, it seems like our environment is missing the following label...
Is it missing for all users, or for one user? In the latter, it could be that it is hidden by by MorphX (Right-clicked and hidden).
Just to make sure it isn't usage data, delete the usage data for that user.
Turns out, a related data table had a field removed. Therefore the dropdown was never being generated.

Tridion 2011 - How to unselect all the default selected publications while adding a group to a user?

I am facing one typical issue on Tridion 2011 administrator activity.
How to replicate the issue?
Open a User
Add a Group to the user
Once group is inserted, by default all the publications are checked/ticked
Now here is the issue, if I have 200 publications and in that I want to check/tick only 2 publications then I need to uncheck remaining 198 publications manually.
Which is really difficult task doing for 20-30 users same activity.
I tried by checking and unchecking "ALL PUBLICATIONS" check box but NO LUCK.
How to fix this?
OR
Is there any hotfix already available?
You can use the following workaround:
Select all publications (Control + A)
Press Spacebar (Toggles selected/unselected)
Typically I'd recommend setting users to a group specifically for scope and permissions, rather than trying to define this for each of some 20-30 (or more) users.
For example:
Create "Rights" groups (or use the defaults) with This Group will be available for setting permissions in the following Publications: set to All Publications.
Create "Scope" groups with membership to one or more rights groups, with the scope limited to certain publications. Use Puntero's useful tip here. Optionally use separate groups for permissions.
Going forward, add users to a Scope group with Membership Scope: set to All Publications
This lets you consolidate global user changes to a few groups and simplify manual changes, even if experiencing a possible UI bug.

Hide organizational items option in Tridion 2011 SP1 CM snap-in

I'd like to limit what organizational items users can actually see in the CM rather than the default which allows them to see the item but not read its contents giving the "Insufficient permissions" error.
For a particular group, I've assigned the Category Management right on a publication and Read permission on only two of forty available categories. When I test logging in as a user of this group - all appears, well:
I see only publication the group has the right on.
I see all forty categories under Categories & Keywords but
can only read from the two I set the permission on.
So far so good.
I then opened the Tridion CM snap-in and changed the value "Hide organizational items if no access to content" from 0 to 1. Shutdown COM+ and restarted IIS.
Logging in as the same use as before I still see all forty categories as before - there doesn't seem to be any change?
Is it not possible to setup the CM so that my user only see the two categories they have the Read permission on?
Ideally I'd like the same thing for Audience Manager address books too - only listing address books a group has permissions to read/write/delete from.
This is Tridion 2011 SP1.
EDIT
Just checked the online docs and they refer to the snap-in setting as:
If enabled, Folders and Structure Groups for which a user does not
have read permission are hidden from that user; defaults to the value
0, that is, disabled.
Does that mean it doesn't apply to Categories/Address Books then?
Cheers
You are correct. This setting applies to structure groups and folders.
The term "organizational item" always needs some context to be understood accurately. Categories are, in principle, organizational items, but a category is always a root orgitem, and root orgitems have special rules. In some contexts, even publications are referred to as orgitems. In this specific context, it means folders and structure groups
