WMI filter working for some Windows 7 machines but not for others

I'm trying to use this WMI filter for our Windows 7 64bit machines:
select * from Win32_OperatingSystem where (Caption like "Microsoft Windows 7%") or (Version like "6.1%" and ProductType = "1" and OSArchitecture = "64 ビット") or (OSArchitecture like "64%" and ProductType =
"1")
The reason there are three clauses is that we have machines in United States, Japan, and France. The first clause works for the United States, the second clause works for Japan, and the third clause SHOULD work for France, but doesn't.
I've run the query manually on the French machine using WMITest.exe (http://www.paessler.com/tools/wmitester) and it works. However, when I run a gpresult /r it shows that the GPO is denied
due to the WMI filter.
Why is this happening for French computers only?

Why is this happening for French computers only?
just a thought - is it due to localisation of the OS (fr-FR), and maybe the WMITest.exe is not honouring that?
maybe, on a French OS, open CMD, run wmic os get osarchitecture ??
get somebody to give you a screengrab of that - just in case there's something funky going on.
(I don't work with multiple languages, so am not sure if localisation can cause your issue, but from your Japan example it looks like it might do so)

Just got a new MacMini. Migrated files using Time Machine. However, now, on Launchpad, I see several Firmware updates that were relevant for the old machine, but not for the new one. How do I get rid of these updates? They won't delete!

I've set the download settings to always ask where to save a file, and it will do that for some file extensions, but not for others. How can I fix this?

I've noticed it especially with .pdf files, which always end up on my desktop, even after I double check the download settings under Preferences and then restart Firefox, just in case. Also, when I download .pdf files they will automatically open, but when I download .doc files they do not. I would rather not have downloaded files automatically open, but I can't find how to change that setting either.

You can check for problems with preferences.
Rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js and user.js files to reset all prefs to the default value.

On 2011 iMac, External Altec Lansing speakers no longer work after upgrading to Mountain Lion. They DO work on a lenovo machine but not my imac

On 2011 iMac, External Altec Lansing speakers no longer work after upgrading to Mountain Lion.
They DO work on a lenovo machine but not my iMac. reset Pram - no luck. took speakers from wife's desktop, they
do not work when jack plugged into my iMac - Sys Prefs "SOUND" only lists "internal speakers/ built in" as available options.
I used my altec lansing speakers on 3 macs including this one for 5-6 years.....now with Mountian Lion I can only get internal speakers???
Ideas? Any/All help would be greatly appreciated - been going nuts with this for 2 days now.

Hi,
When you start Messages fro the first time you are asked for an Apple ID
When this is verified and entered it appears in Messages Menu > Preference > Accounts and is Enabled.
The App should have also picked on on those iChat Accounst you had before.
These should be Enabled if they were when you last used iChat.
Exactly which "Accounts" are logged in can be seen in Message Menu > Accounts and will include the iMessage "Account" and Bonjour.
In the Window menu you will see CMD +0 for the Messages window and CMD+1 for the "Buddies" window which is a combined list at this stage.
Go to the Preferences > General Section and Untick the "Collect all accounts into one list".
This will give you separate iChat type Buddy lists.
You can check if that account/Buddy list is set to Invisible or if in the Preferences > Accounts > Security you have settings that will block some people from seeing you as On line.
You are saying Buddies can see you as On Line which implies they are still sending to your AIM based Names (@Mac.com is a valid AIM Screen Name)
I am not sure from your post if you are trying to iMessage their email IDs thinking they are Apple IDs and that they are using Messages as well.
There is no Buddy list for iMessages side
No-one can tell you are "On Line" until they have your details in the "To" spot in Messages with the correct iMessaged contact info (iPhone Number or Apple ID)
Obviously an Apple ID can be an email or look like one.
In some cases they are also valid AIM Screen Names as well.
In the case or the @mac.com name you may have linked this Apple ID to iMessages as well.

Home sharing is working fine for musics and videos but not for apps. What is wrong?

Home sharing is working fine for musics and videos but not for apps. What is wrong?

i had the same issue as everyone here after upgrading to itunes 10.x. vista could see xp home share. ipod touch could see xp home share.
neither could see vista home share.
after several hours of authorizing de-authorizing, rebooting router etc, i knew it had to be a firewall thingy with vista as xp was working fine
i went to this article http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2553 and followed the instructions. itunes was already in my vista exception list. on a hunch i deleted the itunes exception and followed the steps to add it again and boom it worked!! i could now see my vista machine from my ipod touch immediately.
something must have screwed up the firewall exception on the upgrade to itunes 10.x
it worked for me, i hope this helps others

Trying to connect my iMac to on 10.8.2 with PowerBook Intel on 10.5.8; sharing works from PowerBook to iMac but not the other way around. Why?

Trying to connect my iMac to on 10.8.2 with PowerBook Intel on 10.5.8; sharing works from PowerBook to iMac but not the other way around. Why?

Thanks for the interest. Preferences are similar on both machines: screen sharing, file sharing, printer sharing & scanner sharing all ticked and radio button for Screen Sharing is ON.
My confusion is that I can get a network connection to the iMac by selecting "go to server" on the PowerMac running 10.5.8 but am unable to make the iMac connect to the PowerMac using similar selections. When ethernet cable is plugged in the PowerMac shows up on the finder bar on the iMac, but it does not allow either screen sharing or connection to occur - a dialog box tells me to check System Prefs and Network connection.
I'm hoping to export a large file of photos from iPhoto on my iMac to my wife's PowerMac and hoped to achieve this with an ethernet network connection.

using an ipad will use the email address since you can't make a phone call. see the link.
Your basically calling/emailing yourself that's why your getting a busy signal.

XMLDocument.Validate works on some machines but not on others

Hi All
I have a problem which I cannot Solve , I have a routine that Validates a node in a document against a XSD file using the XmlDocument.Validate method. This works fine on several machines but on a different network using the Same Document and schema files validate fails with a validation exception element not found . I cannot figure out why the exact same files and application should be successful on one machine and unsuccessfull on another. I have used Filemon to see if their are ACCESS DENIED problems but there are none.
I have reinstalled the framework 2.0, to no avail
Regards

I am trying to Get the Details on to an HTTP server no luck yet, and this fourm says that the files are to large to upload. , I have noticed the FILEMON says that the MSCORLIB.PDB file was not found in two locations WINNT and WINNT\dll would this have somthing to do with the problem. I have given the XML and Schema files to others to view but they confirm that there is nothing wrong with the file or the schema.

JDBC/JSP/MySQL Code works from my local machine, but not on server

Hi there!
I've been struggling with this problem for a while.
I have a database from which I need to read and display some data on a browser. (The database is set up for remote access).
I'm using the following JSP/JDBC code to do that.
Class.forName ("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
out.println(" Connecting to DB...Pls. Wait ");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("url","user","pwd");
if(con.isClosed())
out.println(" " +"Could NOT connect to MySQL Database...");
else out.println(" CONNECTED !!! ");
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
results = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM TableName" );
When I run this of my local machine, it works fine. But when I upload it to a server, it doesn't run through. I dont get either the connected or not connected message.
I tried this piece of code that I found online to check the driver.
/*Driver d = (Driver)Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
out.println(" Got a driver instance. ");
if (d.acceptsURL(url)) out.println(" The driver does accept my URL");
else out.println(" The driver doesn't like the URL I'm trying"); */
I ran it off the server and it worked. I got the outputs --Got a driver instance and The driver does accept my URL
I'm unable to figure out why this code can be run locally from my machine, but not from a different location. The database is NOT on my machine.
Any inouts will be really appreciated.
I'm using an Apache Tomcat container and the database is MySQL.

Just wanted to mention
The database is on another (3rd) machine.
So I have
1. My local machine
2. Database hosted on a 2nd machine
3. Place I'm moving my code to (its basically a hosting account provided by an external company)
I can access the database from my local machine. However, when I move the code over to another machine, it doesn't work.

You Tube requires Flash update. Worked for laptop Windows 7 but not PC Windows Vista. Can you help?

You Tube said I needed latest Adobe Flash Player, so uninstalled old version and reinstalled latest version 11.6.602.171 on PC running Windows Vista Home Basic SP2 32-bit OS. My system says it's there, but it still won't work on You Tube - still get same message saying Ineed latest version.
Had same message on my Laptop running Windows 7 and it updated and works fine. I use Internet Explorer 9.
Detailed Problem Description: Problem with downloading latest Adobe Flash update and viewing YouTube. On PC running Windows Vista Home Basic SP2 32-bit OS, You Tube home page red banner at top said I needed to install latest Adobe Flash Player but even after installing, it does not work and will not play most videos in browser and shows black screen with message still asking to download latest version. Seems to be rather random as to which videos it will play and which ones it won't, although there may be some common link (see examples below). I thought it might have been HTML5 problem but I have successfully played HTML5 and Non-HTML videos through Adobe test site (Adobe Flash Player Help/Video Playback Issues) as well as Stage Videos. (Note: Had same You Tube messages when viewing on Laptop running Windows 7 but that updated without problem.)
Ran Adobe Uninstall. Closed all other programs before reinstalling direct from Adobe (rather than You Tube link). No change.
Ran all Adobe troubleshooting suggestions listed at http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html#main_2__Disable_Ac tiveX_Filtering__if_you_are_using_Internet_Explorer_9_.
Removed browsing data and deleted cache, checked that Internet Tools\Safety\Active X filtering was disabled (but in Internet Option\Security, Active X controls are enabled), disabled Hardware Acceleration, restarted computer but no change to You Tube viewing. Re-enabled, but no change. (WOULD LOVE ADVICE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE IF I SHOULD KEEP THIS ENABLED OR DISABLED.)
I have updated graphics drivers for NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT- although had to do manually as NVIDIA auto system scan said "could not detect your GPU". Noted they said Windows Vista supports up to Direct X 10, but my system is running Direct X 11. Had optional update message for "nVidia Graphics Adapter WDDM1.1, Graphics Adapter WDDM 1.2, other Hardware NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT" on both PC & laptop. Laptop downloaded fine. Tried to download on PC but was not successful. Error Code 80070103, possibly because system had already been updated? Current driver version 9.18.13.1407 - "Windows has determined that your current driver software is up to date".
Running Norton 360 but it did not block or indicate any problems with Flash Player download.
Problem URL: http://www.youtube.com/?utm_source=navclient (red banner at top of home page says I still need to download latest Adobe Flash).

Dear Chris,
Thanks for reply. I ran the recommened Adobe uninstall program so assumed it deleted whatever it should have, before installing new version. When it didn't work I followed instructions in Flash Player help page (screen shot below) which said to delete the Roaming App Data/Macromedia/Flash folder and Roaming App Data/Adobe/Flash folder, which I did.
Below are screen shots of C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash files as they currently stand. I have a fuzzy recollection that it was deleted at some point because I think I went searching for it during one troubleshooting session and it couldn't be found (but maybe I'm geting confused with the App Date folders?). Anyway I presume these current files are all post-reinstallation as the dates are all 5 or 6 March (did them before and after midnight). I'm on Australian time - not sure where you are. However, notice install.log date is 21/05/2010 and Flash Player Trust sub-folder is dated 6/09/2008.
When I right click on the screen of both videos that will and won't play, I just get a list of options starting at "Copy video URL" down to "About HTML5". So not sure what you mean when you say "For the videos that do play, when you right click on them what version of Flash Player is reported at the bottom of the context menu?" as I can't see any info like this. Do I click somewhere else?
If you are able to get the info you are after yourself, two videos that will work are:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLKlTN1JN7w and
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGbrFmPBV0Y
Also, with hardware acceleration enabling or disabling, the only place I can find to do this is through the Adobe Flash Help page http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html#main_2__Disable_Ac tiveX_Filtering__if_you_are_using_Internet_Explorer_9_
and right clicking on the Flash Player info box, going into Settings and checking or unchecking the Enable box. Do you know if there is another setting in my actual computer where I can do this and or there's some other setting I need to change? There doesn't seem to be anything similar when I go through Conrol Panel - Flash Player.
5. Delete all Flash Player browsing data
a.. Click Start > Control Panel.
b.. Double-click Flash Player.
c.. In the Flash Player Setting Manager, click Advanced.
d.. Under Browsing Data and Settings, click Delete All.
6. Remove Flash Player cache
a.. On your computer, select Start > Run. (On Windows 7, click Start and type in Search Programs and Files.)
b.. Type %appdata%\Adobe and click OK.
c.. Delete the Flash Player folder.
d.. Repeat step 1 and type %appdata%\Macromedia.
e.. Delete the Flash Player folder.

changed "database link db1" to "database link db2" per comments by SB
Edited by: enquad on Apr 12, 2013 3:00 PM
Changed "user" to "OS user" in subject for clarity

enquad wrote:
Sorry gentlemen and SB, but my question is still not answered. It is a new question, which I have not found answered elsewhere.
To summarize:
SB97025 informs me that db1 is not a database link, but I never said that it was. It is the second database (anonymized as "db2") that is connected to through the database link "db2.mycompany.net".
SB97025 also wonders intriguingly if my DBA and I are we really connecting to the same database when we each connect to user1 on db1. Perhaps the Oracle server and my PC have TNSNAMES.ORA files that lead us to different databases for the same TNS alias? I do not believe this is the case, because my DBA created that user1 and that database link in the db1 database specifically for the purpose of doing this test and I see that same link when I connect to user1 on db1. Unless my DBA is spoofing me by creating user1 in two different databases - only one of which contains a working dblink named db2.mycompany.net - just for the purpose of throwing me off, I would have to conclude that he and I are actually connecting to the same database.There is no reason to "believe" (or not) that "this is the case". The entire point of SB's comment on that was to get you to verify. President Reagan famously said "trust but verify". He never worked as a DBA. I say "don't trust, just verify".
Obviously something is different. And at this point the most likely and easiest to confirm is that you and your DBA really are connecting to the same database, on the same host server, using the same link. And at this point all we really have is to trust your DBAs statement.
>
Ed Stevens reminds me that db1 is acting as a client to db2 and so the solutions to the ORA-12154 are the same as for any client connection as listed on his blog (which I had already read), none of which solve my problem. Rembember, the DBA can use the database link, so by whatever means the TNS lookup is happening when he uses it, the correct connection description is being found. The question is not "why does this stinkin' database link not work"? It does work for the DBA.
Pierre wants to make sure I know that it is the Oracle server's TNSNAMES file that is the important thing, not my client's TNSNAMES file, which is true but not relevant to my problem and I was never so naive. He also says that I could try creating a database link by including the full TNS entry in the USING string, which does work as I had already mentioned in my original post.
Amar asks if my DBA can: sqlplus username/password@db2.
The answer is yes. The dba can use SQL*Plus to connect to db2 from the server hosting db1 and can connect to db1 from the server hosting db2. There is almost nothing my DBA cannot do.
None of the posters addressed the key information in my post, which was the different result my DBA and I get when using the same database link in the same schema on the same database. That AND the fact that my DBA is logged on to Linux Oracle serve as user "oracle" and I am logged in to my PC. Why should it matter to a database link which computer is running SQL*Plus or who the OS user is?
Also the GLOBAL_NAMES parameter is set to FALSE.

Drivers Work Perfectly in Windows 8 but NOT in Windows 8.1

Due to several reasons, most of which pertain to Windows Store app compatibility, I want to upgrade to Windows 8.1. However, I tested the preview beforehand to make sure everything driver-wise was compatible... Everything is fine, except for my Atheros
AR9285 wifi adapter. For reasons a bit to complicated to explain in this paragraph, I am using the Windows XP driver for this adapter. Please don't say the driver is too old, and that's why it's not working, because I am well versed in drivers and versioning.
BTW, this driver works perfectly in Windows 8. Just NOT in Windows 8.1. Any help would be appreciated as I am currently ripping my hair out.

yes, I think also found that
https://www.atheros.cz/atheros-wireless-download.php?chipset=37&system=7
try to check if this driver can be run in compatibility mode
http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/6832-compatibility-mode-use-windows-8-a.html
the one that can confirmed is the manufactured. Anyway good luck and let us know the update
Your reply maybe will be helpful to the others

Source Reformat menu item disabled for some XML files, but not all

For some reason, the 'Reformat' option isn't available for some of my XML files (in Source menu it's disabled, in the right-click pop up menu it's not even there). For example in my META-INF folder it's enabled for .wsdl files but not .xml files. In the same project, it's enabled for all .xml files in the WEB-INF folder.
Any idea what's going on?
TIA

Thanks to everyone for their response. But - it is NOT a copyright issue , it is NOT a DRM issue, it is not a Faber College double secret probation encoding issue.
This is a simple .wmv file, that I have copied, burned, created a disk image, made a copy of and sent to the UK, Germany, Ireland and even New Jersey. It has been played on a MacBook Pro, a MacBook, a Dell whatever, a Sony stand alone DVD player, an LG DVD player. At least three nieces or nephews, and at least 2 canines have put it through ISO 9XXX rigors.
The problem is that Apple Quick Time 7 Pro with Flip4Mac Pro "can't handle it"
It opens fine, it plays fine --- but when I try to "output" it via the FILE menu - all of the options
Share ...
Export ...
Export to Web ...
are greyed out.
I know nothing abour codecs and wrappers but I tihnk that this is the problem.
What should I know about the file?
Ffor example, years ago, all you needed to know about a Mac file was the "Creator" and the "Type" - both were 4 character codes. something like ADOB for Adobe and PMK2 for Pagemaker 2.0.
Any help identifying the file and what I can use to get it onto my iPhone will be appreciated.
Thank you.
