Sharepoint 2013: List name does not correspond to URL name

It can be quite frustrating when the name of a list does not correspond to the URL. 

For example, the default Images library maps to /publishingimages/. 

I had this problem a little while ago and the solution was staring me in the face - the answer is held in the object model. If you pass in the name of the list ("Images"), you can get the SPList the old fashioned way: 

SPList list = SPContext.Current.Web.Lists["Images"].

However, if you manufacture a link, you need to use list.RootFolder.Name (or SPContext.Current.Web.Lists["Images"].RootFolder.Name)

SharePoint 2013: Error updating managed account credentials

I encountered the following message when trying to change a password for a managed account: Error deploying administration application pool credentials. Another deployment may be active. An object of the type Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPAdminAppPoolCredentialDeploymentJobDefinition named "job-admin-apppool-change" already exists under the parent Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPTimerService named "SPTimerV4".  Rename your object or delete the existing object. The error message is self explanatory - Rename your object or delete the existing object.  I choose the latter. Powershell to the rescue. $job = Get-SPTimerJob -Identity "job-admin-apppool-change" $job.Delete() Reset the password and all should be good.
