10g install: didn't install OID but can't install Forms because it wants it

I installed a 10g infrastructure first, without ANY options but the required ones. When trying to install Business Intelligence afterwards I am stuck, because the installer (for some reason) requires me to "Register with Oracle Internet Directory" (see: http://www.nerdheaven.dk/~jevk/temp/06_oid_crap.gif )
I have to admit that EARLIER I did, by mistake, do an install of a 10g infrastructure WITH OID. But I used the installer to uninstall the products, even renamed folders, and then did as I described above.
I just really want to get the Forms & Reports stuff installed and leave any and all OID stuff for later.
Sincerely,
Jesper Vad Kristensen

True, I should RTFM.
But why is it that so much software OBVIOUSLY has a built-in "suicide button/option/feature/default-setting" that's just guaranteed to send the poor user to the World of Hurt?
9.0.2 installed just fine and didn't have the problem. Obviously 10g got worse than its predecessor.
sigh

  • I have photos I want to group together in one album, but can't do this because some may have the same number. How can I combine them all into one album?

    I have photos I want to group together in one album, but can't do this because some may have the same number. How can I combine them all into one album? I was trying to move several albums onto a USB drive and it stated all other files exist at this location.  They are pictures taken at different times and have the same number I guess.

    In iPhoto albums may contain photos with the same file name - iPhoto handles that just fine
    If you are exporting them to move somewhere else use the sequential file name feature of export to give each file a unique name

  • I have created an album in iphoto but can't buy it because I still use iphoto 08 (version 7.0). If I upgrade to version 7.0, can I print my album in New Zealand or Australia?

    I have created an album in iphoto but can't buy it because I still use iphoto 08 (version 7.0). If I upgrade to version 8.0 which is iphoto 09 can I print my album in New Zealand?

    Yes  --  http://store.apple.com/us/help/print_products/routing
    but to upgrade you will need to purchase an iLife DVD from ebay or Amazon or other source - older versions of iPhoto are not available from the App Store - either iLife '09 or '11 will work on 10.6.8
    beware that sometimes books (albums are logical organzational elements in iPhoto) sometimes will change with upgrades so you may need to make some changes after upgrading - be sure to carefully preview prior to ordering the book

  • Why my spotlight can not find my personal files ? It can find them before but can not find them now,I want to know why?

    why my spotlight can not find my personal files ? It can find them before but can not find them now,I want to know why?

    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Spotlight ▹ Privacy
    The list of items excluded from Spotlight indexing is shown (it may be empty.) Click the plus (“+”) icon to add an item to the list. Select your boot volume (under DEVICES) and add it to the list. Then remove it from the list by selecting it and clicking the minus (“-“) icon.
    Spotlight will rebuild the index. If you try to do a Spotlight search now from the magnifying-glass icon in the top right corner of the display, a pulsing dot will appear in the icon. When the dot disappears, the indexing is complete.

  • Is there an app that runs on iMac that can display movies on an NAS drive as thumbnails? I have someone who cannot read but can select from pictures what they want to do or watch

    We have a person living with us who cannot read but can use our integrated AV systems with out TV's because it is all picture or thumbnail based
    For movies we have on a NAS drive I would like for the person to be able to connect to the NAS drive and choose a movie
    on the home AV system this is done using an interface that shows all the movies as a tile with a graphic, generally the DVD cover photo or similar
    I was hoping for something similar with the iMac
    thanks in anticipation

    The iPhoto app provides the capability to delete all the photos in the Camera Roll.

  • I CAN'T DOWNLOAD APPS BECAUSE THEY WANT ME TO CHOOSE 3 STUPID QUESTIONS TO PROTECT MY ID APPLE

    I can't download apps because after I write my password a stupid blu window requests me "to protect my Apple ID" choosing 3 "security questions and answer" .
    I don' t care about upgrading my security !   I only need to download apps.
    Furthermore, there are no e-mail addresses where to complaint.
    Please can somebody help me?
    Many thanks !

    So, you don't care if some hacker managed to get into your iTunes account and buy loads of apps using your credit card or gift card balance? You wouldn't mind?
    And what if you use the same AppleID for iCloud? You wouldn't care if a hacker got in, deleted all your contacts and calendars, deleted your email, sent emails to all your contacts, wiped your iPhone, changed your password and locked you out of your own account? That wouldn't bother you either?
    Now, maybe you don't use all these features, but a lot of people do, so the accounts need to be secure.

  • I changed my Apple ID and password on my IPad but now cannot download apps because it wants my old ID and password which are no longer linked to ITunes.

    I Cash angled the Apple ID and password on my IPad but now cannot download any apps because it wants my old ID and password. It does not recognise the change of ID.

    Have you tapped on the id at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app - when you do that you should get a popup with options for 'View Apple ID',' Sign Out', 'iForgot' and 'Cancel'. Tap on the 'Sign Out' option and log out and then log back in

  • I had final cut express 4 already installed on my new macbook but can't open it because it is asking for my serial number which is on the disc. I've put it in with and without dashes and dots and it won't accept it. What do I do?

    I had final cut express 4 already installed on my new macbook pro at the shop but I'm trying to open it up and it wants my serial number. I've typed in the number on the disc labelled 'product serial number' but it won't accept it. The number has lots of dots and dashes in it and I've tried typing these as well, but to no avail. What can I do?

    You do need the dashes.
    Also double check that O & 0, I & 1 are not being confused.
    The serial no. pretty much follows a three numbers then three letters approach.

  • I installed FF 4 beta and lost all bookmarks. Found a bookmark file dated today on hard drive but can't open it because it's a json file.

    Sorry, guys, I'm pretty lost. Spent the evening trying to redo a profile; found the profile on my hard drive but couldn't figure out how to change it back. I also read the FF help section quite a bit and '''tried''' to follow all directions but STILL can't do it.

    JSON is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON JavaScript Object Notation] format.
    You have to use the Firefox Bookmarks Manager to restore the bookmarks from a JSON backup.

  • I have CS3 upgrade installed on a new Mac, the old one died. Can't boot it because it wants the version before CS2 serial

    How can I retrieve my serial number that we paid $1,000.00 for on an older version? So we can use the upgraded one on my new one?

    What OS is on your new Mac? I'm doubtful AE CS3 will even run if it's new!
    The oldest version of AE that is okay to run on OSX v10.10 (Yosemite) is CS6 (After Effects version 11.0.4).
    I'd recommend just upgrading to After Effects CC 2014. It's significantly cheaper than $1,000.00 (think $20 a month or $50 if you want the ENTIRE software suite)
    The current version of AE is 13.1.1 - to compare, AE CS3 is version 8.0.2
    If I remember correctly, CS3 was the first version of AE that even supported Intel processors on the Mac!
    Anyway, in case it might work, the serial numbers should be on the case that the After Effects version 7 discs came in.
    If you don't have a serial number on that disc and you were doing some form of online activation, you're in for some more fun! Adobe no longer supports CS2 online activation. Instructions for activating stuff from that long ago here: Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3

  • I bought Creative Cloud, but can't use Illustrator because it says I need a serial number.

    I've read that my account should activate after signing in, but it doesn't work for me. What do I do?

    @350125 -
    Here are several trouble-shooting methods that should get the applications activated again by your Adobe ID:
    A. Follow steps 4 and 5 of http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/convert-cs6-licensed-under-ccm.html:
    Launch the application.
    Click the License This Software button.
    See your Adobe ID in the dialog and click the Sign In button.
    B. Use the Adobe Application Manager to install a different application to trigger activation using your Adobe ID.
    C. If one application launches without asking for a serial number but another does, then from the application that is activated choose Help > Deactivate from the menu. Relaunch and activate either application.
    D. Re-install the Adobe Application Manager from here: http://www.adobe.com/applicationmanagerpatch/index.html. Then launch the application again.
    If none of these methods resolve the issue then provide:
    Your operating system version.
    The following three log files: PDApp.log, amt3.log and oobelib.log.
    Email this information to [email protected].
    Getting the log files on Windows:
    Open the Command Prompt.
    Type mkdir Desktop\logs and press Enter. This will create a folder called logs on your Desktop.
    Type copy %temp%\PDApp.log Desktop\logs\PDApp.log and press Enter. This will copy the file PDApp.log to the folder logs.
    Type copy %temp%\amt3.log Desktop\logs\amt3.log and press Enter. This will copy the file amt3.log to the folder logs.
    Type copy %temp%\oobelib.log Desktop\logs\oobelib.log and press Enter. This will copy the file oobelib.log to the folder logs.
    Zip the folder logs using a Zip program like 7-Zip (available from http://www.7-zip.org).
    Getting the log files on Mac OS X:
    Open the Terminal (located in the Utilities folder under Applications).
    Type mkdir ~/Desktop/logs and press Enter. This will create a folder called logs on your Desktop.
    Type cp ~/Library/Logs/PDApp.log ~/Desktop/logs/PDApp.log and press Enter. This will copy the file PDApp.log to the folder logs.
    Type cp /tmp/amt3.log ~/Desktop/amt3.log and press Enter. This will copy the file amt3.log to the folder logs.
    Type cp /tmp/oobelib.log ~/Desktop/oobelib.log and press Enter. This will copy the file oobelib.log to the folder logs.
    Type tar -czf ~/Desktop/logs.tgz ~/Desktop/logs and press Enter. This will create the file logs.tgz on the Desktop. You can safely ignore the message: tar: Removing leading '/' from member names.

  • Can't upgrade Firefox because it wants me to close Firefox but Firefox is not open.

    I tried several times to upgrade Firefox. The files can be downloaded and saved to the hard drive, but when I launch the upgrade I'm told that I have to close Firefox even though I have already closed it.
    == This happened ==
    Just once or twice
    == after that I didn't try again

    Did you look at the Task Manager to make sure FF is not running there? Sometimes even though you have closed FF, it might still be running its process -- alt + ctrl + delete

  • I can see photos but can't download them because the original is "unavailable". What does that mean ?

    I was downloading back some photos from Revel after having lost the originals from the hard drive they were stored on (along with that drive).
    I was using the MacOS app and things were going fine, but strangely one library doesn't let me do that. So I tried to download a single file and I got an error message saying that the original file wasn't available. Which seems strange as I can see the picture. And in good definition, too. Exporting at current resolution didn't help, either, BTW.
    And indeed looking at the web version of Revel the download button that usually sits under the pictures is missing in that library.
    Seeing as I can see the pictures, how come I can't just download at least the file it's showing me ?

    Hi again Aurelien
    While I reach out to our server team for help, you could also try to troubleshoot this. 
    Before I go on, please ensure you have a separate backup of all your photos outside of Revel, example: on an external USB drive.
    Now, if you originally uploaded the images using Revel iOS, and the images/videos are still on your device camera roll, then please sign back into your account in Revel iOS -- Revel will resume uploading the originals automatically.  Once sync from iOS is complete, you should then be able to export on the desktop, or find the photos in your Adobe Revel Library on Mac if you have Keep Originals enabled in the Revel Mac app settings.  I just confirmed this works.
    Unfortunately, easily resuming original image uploads like this is not yet supported on Revel Mac or on www.adoberevel.com, but I will ensure that this enhancement is tracked by Product Management for the future.

  • Updated to version 4.01 but can't use personas because it is 3.0x

    tried to install a persona which requires 3.6 and it tells me i am running 3.0x when actually running 4.01

    You obviously have a problem with your user agent string which is showing Fx 3.0.10. There seems to be a bit of a rash of this problem.
    Not my field but I'm sure someone will pass by with the appropriate fix.
    Just to be sure - check your version -
    *Firefox button (or Help)>About Firefox, or
    * Options >Advanced>Show Update History(little box at the bottom). This is Fx4.0.1 on Win 7 but it should be the same on Vista.
