Loopback adapter not working - can't install Oracle.

I'm attempting to install 10g on a Win XP box that is not connected to a network. Installation instructions dictate to install the MS loopback adapter before database installation. I installed it, but I can't get the loopback adapter to work. It can't find itself with ping and the 10g software won't install without it.
I'm up for a big job using Oracle and I want to upgrade my skills before I interview. This is very important to me. This may sound a bit corny, but I need to pay for a few medical bills and this job has enough of a pay raise to cover my expenses.
I don't like my current job and I love working with Oracle. Can someone please help me?

    Hi fergarcia274,
    You can use Target Mode if you have a firewire cable connected. This procedure is outlined in Mac Help. It reads as follows:
    How to use FireWire target disk mode
    Learn what FireWire target disk mode (TDM) is and how to use it.
    Description and requirements
    FireWire target disk mode allows a Macintosh computer with a FireWire port (the target computer) to be used as an external hard disk connected to another computer (the host). Once a target computer is started up as a FireWire hard disk and is available to the host computer, you can copy files to or from that volume.
    Important: The computer will not go into FireWire target disk mode if "Open Firmware Password" has been enabled.
    Host computer requirements
    Host computers must meet the following requirements:
    Built-in FireWire port, or a FireWire port on a PC card
    FireWire 2.3.3 or later
    Mac OS 8.6 or later
    Target computers
    The following models can be used as target computers:
    iMac (Slot Loading) with Firmware version 2.4 or later
    iMac (Summer 2000) and all models introduced after July 2000
    eMac (All models)
    Mac mini
    Power Mac G4 (AGP Graphics) with ATA drive
    Power Mac G4 Cube
    Power Mac G4 (Gigabit Ethernet) and all models introduced after July 2000
    Power Mac G5 (all models)
    iBook (FireWire) and all models introduced after September 2000
    PowerBook G3 (FireWire)
    PowerBook G4 (All models)
    FireWire software
    You can download the latest Firmware and FireWire software from the Apple Support Downloads page (http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/).....
    I've done it before, and it not difficult.
    Best Regards

    Did you carefully go through all pre-req steps for install?
    Oracle needs some "compatibility libraries" as well (compat-lib*). Here are packages for AS 10g, most or all of which apply to Database too.
    Checking operating system packages: gcc-3.2.3-20,compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.122,compat-gcc-c++-7.3-2.96.122,compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.122,compat-libstdc++-devel-7.3-2.96.122,setarch-1.3-1,pdksh-5.2.14,sysstat-4.0.7,gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-34.1,libstdc++-3.2.3,compat-libstdc++-devel-7.3-2.96.122,compat-glibc-7.x-2.2.4.32.5
    When required packages are in place, there's another error lurking, related to __libc_wait symbol.
    runInstaller "boots" OUI, which includes running a JRE from tmp. This JRE (build 02) is broken, but you can setup to run another one via oraparam.ini and JRE_LOCATION. Download build 10 from Sun (google "jre 1.3.1 download").

  • Can we install oracle 10g database on Windows Vista Home Edition?

    Can we install oracle 10g database on Windows Vista Home Edition?

    You didn't specify which Oracle10 Edition.
    In the case of SE/SE one/EE, with a paid license Supported has a mean impact on production environments with paid licenses, since you wouldn't run on an unsupported platform facing the risk of being left without technical support from Oracle in case of an emerging issue.
    For the XE Edition, this is not a certified combination, since the only certified editions are the Business, Enterprise, and the Ultimate editions, but you can try it, you don't have nothing to loose, supported, certified vs. unsupported in this case makes no difference since this XE is not supported either way (no patchsets, no bug fixes, no technical support from metalink), just an AS IS free software.
    On the license agreement terms displayed when you download the XE software it states:
    "No Technical Support
    Our technical support organization will not provide technical support, phone support, or updates to you for the programs licensed under this agreement."
    and
    "THE PROGRAMS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. WE FURTHER DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS AND IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE."
    In case someone would be able to win a trial against oracle due to damage from the use of this software, the amount paid at maximum is 1,000.00 USD, not enough to even pay the lawyer's lunches.
    For the XE users the primary source of 'kind of support' is the oracle forums, either the installation forum, the general database or the specialized XE forum.
    Of course if this is for your own personal use for learning and testing and there are no third parties you could damage by doing this and if you don't have a paid license for this installation you may try it, but don't expect the Enterprise Manager to behave as defined by the manual, most of it won't work since the Home Edition doesn't have the privileges required for EM to work.
    If this is your personal computer and when you bought it the computer provider installed from factory Home Edition, and if you want something to work there, you can try to install a Virtual Machine and install Oracle 10g on a supported guest OS.

  • G5 dvi to vga adapter not working

    DVI to VGA adapter not working with my G5 Dual 2.3 GHz Power PC. I am trying to use a VGA Monitor but can not get a signal. I also am using a Dell with a DVI Input and that works fine using a DVI Cable from my G5 to the Dell u2410.

    Bad adapter?
    The G5 ports are DVI-I. Any good DVI-I to VGA adapter should be fine.

  • StarTech Adapter not working with Dell Inspiron 15, model 3521

    Side Note: I wrote a reply to a thread that was from 2013. I do apologize because the link was sent to me by my bf and I did not realize how old it was. Since my reply has to be approved I can't delete it.
    Current Issue: StarTech Adapter not working with Dell Inspiron 15 model 3521 
    I bought my Dell laptop last year and at first I did not realize that it had only one audio jack (combo, as the specifications manual says), I only noticed when I was trying to plug in my Ozone Rage ST headset.
    I searched online threads and found out that I needed an adapter and most people mentioned Headset Buddy. I couldn't find any adapters for sale in my country (or employees didn't really know what I was talking about) and since Headset Buddy is a bit expensive, I decided to try StarTech Headset adapter for headsets with separate headphone/microphone plugs - 3.5mm 4 position to 2x 3 position 3.5mm M/F www.amazon.com/.../ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top.
    It arrived today and let me tell you that I can't make it work. I can hear everything but I can't get the external mic to work or even be detected. I have always used my headset (mostly for gaming) and I prefer to use my external mic rather than the internal one. First I connected my headphone and mic jacks to the adapter and only after that did I connect it to the laptop combo jack. I also tried vice-versa. It didn't work, regardless of the order. I even tried with a different headset and it still didn't work. What else can I do?
    I have also found a thread on Dell forums saying that Headset Buddy doesn't even work on Dell Inspiron 15, model 3521. So since it doesn't work and I'm assuming StarTech doesn't, either, what am I to do/buy?! I am getting extremely frustrated and I'm very disappointed with Dell because the brand should have included with the laptop a proper working adapter for these situations and not make its customers buy an extra accessory to make whatever working gear they already had function. It just doesn't make sense to me! Either make the changes work properly or simply don't touch anything. I spent some of my savings on this laptop which, overall, is great but now I am being forced to spend more on an item to allow me to use my headset. I am running out of options here and even Dell can't seem to tell its customers with 100% certainty what really works for this specific model. 
    If I can't make the adapter work, I just hope I can return it, otherwise I'll end up with no refund and with a piece of equipment I have no other use for! 
    Any thoughts?

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    This is the first time I was forced to buy adapters such as these so I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if there's anything else I can do to make it work. When I plug the adapter to my Dell, the laptop presents me with several options such as: headphones, headphone, speakers, skull candy headphones, etc (maybe some may have different names but since I see them in Portuguese, I'm not quite sure how they appear for someone who has the computer in English), I have picked different options and it still doesn't work, the only noticeable changes are sound quality related, I guess.

  • Can i install Oracle ADF Essentials 11.1.2.3 on weblogic 10.6 ?

    can i install Oracle ADF Essentials 11.1.2.3 on weblogic 10.6 ?
    what the difference between ADF Essentials 11.1.2.3 and Application Development Run time 11.1.1.6 ?
    can i use ADF Essentials 11.1.2.3 instead of Application Development Run time 11.1.1.6 to deploy application (contains many jsf pages with rich faces and many taskflows and BC4J) ??
    i'm using jdeveloper 11.1.2.3.0 and weblogic 10.6 installed on the Linux server

    Hi,
    JDeveloper 11g R1 (11.2.3) supported as ADF essentials and running on WebLogic 10.3.6 are the same releases. The difference is that a path is needed if you want to deploy the software on WLS 10.3.6. Quoting the release notes:
    +"The ADF Runtime will be installed into a standalone application server by applying an Opatch bundle on top of a 11.1.1.6 version of the Application Developer Runtime environment. In the event that additional patches are needed or desired in addition to the 11.1.2.3.0 patch (for example, if an additional patch is needed for another component in the Application Development Runtime installation), those patches will need to be installed separately.+
    +Important note: The patch is intended to be applied to an Application Developer Runtime installation. Applying the patch to a different installation type (for example, Oracle SOA Suite or Oracle WebCenter) is not supported."+
    Release Notes: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/11gr2update3-1851251.html
    For Glasssfish you don't need to patch the server and only install the ADF runtime libraries - also explained in the Release notes.

    Hi there!
    The first thing you should do if you get ANY (almost) error when
    installing Oracle Server in RedHat Linux v6,0 is to read this
    document carefully: http://jordan.fortwayne.com/oracle/
    After hours of struggle it finally worked for me :-)))))
    Only two things to add here:
    1) If you want to be able to connect to the Linux server
    (telnet) and running utilities like sqlplus locally on the
    server, you should copy the ".profile" file to the users home
    directory, add the user to the group "dba" AND make sure that
    the $ORACLE_HOME directory has execute permissions for members
    of the "dba" group (mine had default ONLY permission for the
    owner to execute).
    2) The file "listener.ora" was (for some reason) written
    with "oracle_sid" where it really should say the real SID name
    that is in my case "ORCL".
    I just can't thank the guy who wrote the step-by-step
    Installation guide for Oracle on RedHat Linux enough... THANK
    YOU!

  • Can you install Oracle 10g on REDHAT LINUX ENTERPRISE WS?

    According to oracle documentation, it says you can install oracle10g on Redhat enterprise version 3 or 4, but it doesn't specify whether its Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS or WS. Can you install oracle 10g on Rehat Linux Enterprise WS?

    Oracle Certificaction Matrices says only RedHat AS/ES is supported for database. AFAIK WS means workstation.
    Also this link is very clear: http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_61_1135.shtm
    Besides the above sentences... If the WS installation is providing all required packages (listed in installtion prerequisites) I belive that Oracle DB could be installed on WS but as I (and the above link) said it is not officialy supported.

  • I recently downloaded iMovie on my iPhone 5 and it is telling me to connect to wifi or use itunes to download iMovie well I have done both and it is still not working can someone please help me?

    I recently downloaded iMovie on my iPhone 5 and it is telling me to connect to wifi or use itunes to download iMovie well I have done both and it is still not working can someone please help me?

    Hi troy157,
    I'm sorry you are having issues with the iMovie app you purchased for your iPhone5.
    The first thing I would suggest is to log out of your iTunes Account on your iPhone, turn the iPhone off and then on again, and see if app finishes downloading/updating.
    Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Tap on your Apple ID account > Tap Sign Out
    If the issues persists, the article below will give you a few more troubleshooting steps:
    iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
    Try the following steps to resolve your issue, testing the app after each step.
    1. Update your device software
    Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
    2. Check for app updates
    Ensure that your apps are up to date:
    Open the App Store and tap Updates. If updates are available, tap Update All.
    When prompted, enter your iTunes Store account information. App Store will then download and install the application updates.
    Note: Some applications may require a Wi-Fi connection to update.3. Install another app from the App Store
    4. Restart the application
    If the issue affects only a single app, try closing just that app:
    Press the Home button to return to the Home screen.
    Double-tap the Home button to display recent apps.
    Tap and hold the affected app until the red minus appears.
    Tap the red minus to quit the app.
    Press the Home button, then restart the app.
    5. Restart your device
    Hold the Sleep/Wake button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the Sleep/Wake button to turn it back on.6. Reinstall the affected application
    Remove the application from your device and reinstall it.
    Touch and hold any application icon on the Home Screen until the icons start to wiggle.
    Tap the "x" in the corner of the application you want to delete.
    Tap Delete to remove the application and all of its data from your device.
    Press the Home button.
    Go to the App Store.
    Search for the application and then download it again.
    Note: If it is a paid app, ensure you are using the iTunes account you purchased the app with originally. If it is not, you will be charged for the app again. For more information regarding downloading previously purchased items, see this article.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!
    - Judy
