SP500 should be mapped to $SPX|CO instead of $SPX.
IWM should be IWM|P instead of IWM
COMP should be $COMPX|Q instead of $COMPX

I'm still having problems getting proper mappings for DJIA though. I tried $DJI, $DJI|DT, $INDU, $INDU|DT. I tried every combination from here http://www.opentick.com/index.php?app=search&event=symbols&PHPSESSID=idt7d4c7nlm9goeq0rr9em0be3 to no avail. The only code that was working was $DJX|CO, but thats for1/100 DJIA. I'm guessing the problem is because the exchange I have selected for DJIA is NYSE, but I couldn't find the exchange for CBOT. If I select the ECBOT as the exchange it doesn't even let me select the instrument on my charts though.

We revised all mappings with OpenTick for NT6R4. They all are confirmed by OpenTick. Please get a fresh DB and check it out.

Excellent. All is in order except there is no default mapping for DJIA still.

Right. You would not see a mapping for those symbols where OpenTick has issues on right now, meaning there is no accurate data available.

After clearing my old database I am now having immense difficulty adding IWM back into my Instrument Manager. I can add the symbol and mappings, but whenever I try to select it for Charts it gives me "You need to select an instrument".

I loaded back my old database to check if I did the exact same mappings and they were equivalent. In my old database I could get IWM, but with the new one I can't. Hmm.

Edit: I am also consistently getting the error in the attached picture when I try to delete the IWM to re-add it.

- You need to add IWM to the master instruments and (!) add it to your default instrument list in order to select it e.g. to open a chart. This is a limitation which will be overcome with 6.5.

- the exception below should be resolved with next NT6 release
