2012 express making noise

My 2012 dual-band airport express is making intermittent noise while I am streaming video. Like a hoarse cricket. Aside from irritation, could it mean that this unit is close to faillure? Do I need to bring it in?

Hi - since there are no moving parts and no speaker in the Express, I can only conclude that your suspicions are correct and a call to Apple Support and/or a trip to the Apple Store is a good idea - maybe one of the gurus will see my post and weigh in on this - let me know how you make out.

Printer keeps coming on and off and making noises by itself

I can go for days without using the HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175nw but it keeps making noises.
If its supposed to save energy, why is it doing anything at all until I click "print" ???????

Thank you I was using the LCD. However, I have the IP address open now, I'm under System/Print Quality and the choices are:
After Power On - Off thru 60 mins
Calibration Timing - Off thru 168 hrs
Calibrate Now - check box
Maybe, when they gave me new Firmware it chaned the options?
Thanks for the heads up about the IP route because that's a lot better than the LCD way.

SQL Server 2008/2012 Express Connection Problem

Hello,
since a couple of days I'm working on a problem with the SQL Server Express (32-Bit as well as 64Bit).
I installed a new SQL Server 2008 with an instance named SQL2012 and the Management Studio 2008 R2 on the same machine. I easily am abled to connect to the Server using the Management Studio with several Server Name settings (localhost, IP, (local), .\SQL2012).
Now I have a self-written programm (C#) wich should connect to the Server, but it does not work. It is definitely not a problem of the programm code because the same programm is abled to connect to a SQL Server 2008 Enterprise Edition. Similar Problem with
the 2012 Express Version (2012 Enterprise not tested).
The connection string I use and wich is working with connecting on the Enterprise Edition is: Server=Servername\Instance;Database=DatabaseName;User Id=user;Password=password;
Anybody any solution why the Express-Version refuses to connect?
(Sorry if I have made several failures in my text, English is not my native language)

It Occurs when I try to ping.Send the Server to see if he is active. If I skip this step and try to connect directly to the server (con.Open()) I get the exception:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The
server was not found or it can not be accessed. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server allows remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Connection with the SQL Server couldn't be opened)

SQL Server 2012 Express Instance is Not Discovered

I have a single SQL Server 2012 Express instance that is the backend database for a small door security application. I just noticed after having deployed the OpsMgr agent months ago that it never discovered the SQL instance. The SQL instance
is, as stated, Express, and it's the only Express instance I have. Is that why it is not discovered? All the documentation I found seems to indicate the opposite -- that Express is discovered and there are steps you can take to exclude Express
instances. I have no overrides set to exclude any instance or any database.
- System Center Operations Manager 2012 RTM (no SP1, no R2)
- SQL Server 2012 MP version 6.3.173.1
- SQL Server is Windows Server 2012
- SQL Server 2012 Express running on a Hyper-V VM. Instance is named DOORSERVER\Eclipse
- Agent is installed and other discoveries seem to be working fine
- No discovery errors in the event log related to SQL, although there is one about the Windows Server 2008 discovery not being able to start, but I'm on Windows Server 2012, so I am guessing that's okay?
- No overrides are set on the discovery
- Discovery has found every other SQL Server 2012 instance (standard and enterprise editions)

Well, just realized I didn't have the latest MP. Upgrading to 6.4.1.0 version of the SQL MP fixed the discovery issue.

I need help installing SQL Server 2012 Express

I am very much an amateur. I got a new machine. The old one had Server 2008 R2 but the recommendation was that I need to move to 2012 Express.
When I moved to the new machine, the mover (LapLink) screwed up the version of 2008 R2. IOW, I now have to go forward and install 2012..
I downloaded all the 64 bit files (5 of them). When I start SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe, the process starts and then I'm given the choice of a new install or upgrade. I chose the new install. The process started and I got the following message ...
"Failed to retrieve data for this request.."
There are no hints anyplace as to what this means.
When I click "OK", a new status window pops up and proclaims that something is wrong. Then all activity stops.
I don't know what to do. I can't use either version and I really can't tell you much more to help me.

I'm not certain how to send the log material so I'll just cut 'n paste the file named "Summary_Eric-PC_20140921_134001_GlobalRules" If this isn't the right way, please forgive me and suggest what is right. Anyway, here goes ...

Fan issue making noise and heating issue

Hi,
My laptop fan is making noise like a car engine.Earliar i did nott realize it but since winters are here i can hear it clearly coz ciealing fan is not under use now.Also my laptop is quite heated below.I have read that dust can accumulate in vents but i cant see any.Also my previous laptop got killed becoz of this same issue.Hp should do something about it.Can a layman like me open the dv-4 version and clean the fan? It is out of warranty now and i dont want to spend on shop.But i saw a video HP laptops are complicated to open....and close.Watevr other advice u r most welcome to give regarding yhis issue.
thanks

HP notebooks tend to run hot & thermal control is minimal effort in design & materials.
You can try clening with compressed air or a hoover perhaps but if looks clean & air sems to be flowing I expect it not the main issue.
You may also want to check running processes & CPU use as issues here & viruses can causes CPU load thus heat.
Also review notebook placed so vents are not blocked/restricted.
Use software such as HWinfo to review the actual temps of CPU GPU etc as helps see how much of an issue you really have.
HP laptops can be improved with thermal shims, ceramique paste, housing vent modifications & in extreme cases secondary case venting 25>30mm fan.
Not easy to do without some experience.

SQL Server 2012 Express bulk Insert flat file 1million rows with "" as delimeter

Hi,
I wanted to see if anyone can help me out. I am on SQL server 2012 express. I cannot use OPENROWSET because my system is x64 and my Microsoft office suit is x32 (Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0).
So I used Import wizard and is not working either.
The only thing that let me import this large file, is:
CREATE TABLE #LOADLARGEFLATFILE
Column1
varchar(100), Column2 varchar(100), Column3 varchar(100),
Column4 nvarchar(max)
BULK INSERT
#LOADLARGEFLATFILE
FROM 'C:\FolderBigFile\LARGEFLATFILE.txt'
WITH
FIRSTROW = 2,
FIELDTERMINATOR ='\t',
ROWTERMINATOR ='\n'
The problem with CREATE TABLE and BULK INSERT is that my flat file comes with text qualifiers - "". Is there a way to prevent the quotes "" from loading in the bulk insert? Below is the data.
Column1
Column2
Column3
Column4
"Socket Adapter"
8456AB
$4.25
"Item - Square Drive Socket Adapter | For "
"Butt Splice"
9586CB
$14.51
"Item - Butt Splice"
"Bleach"
6589TE
$27.30
"Item - Bleach | Size - 96 oz. | Container Type"

Hi lgnusLumen,
According to your description, you use BULK INSERT to import data from a data file to the SQL table. However, to be usable as a data file for bulk import, a CSV file must comply with the following restrictions:
1. Data fields never contain the field terminator.
2. Either none or all of the values in a data field are enclosed in quotation marks ("").
In your data file, the quotes aren't consistent, if you want to prevent the quotes "" from loading in the bulk insert, I recommend you use SQL Server Import and Export Wizard tools in SQL Server Express version. area, it will allow to strip the
double quote from columns, you can review the following screenshot.
In other SQL Server version, we can use SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) to import data from a flat file (.csv) with removing the double quotes. For more information, you can review the following article.
http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1316/strip-double-quotes-from-an-import-file-in-integration-services-ssis/
In addition, you can create a function to convert a CSV to a usable format for Bulk Insert. It will replace all field-delimiting commas with a new delimiter. You can then use the new field delimiter instead of a comma. For more information, see:

Sql server 2012 express - tcp/ip connection to named instance using dynamic port not working

I have a named instance on a SQL 2012 Express server that won't connect via TCP/IP when wanting to connect off of the dynamic port. I can connect via shared memory locally on the server.   I can connect to the namespace when specifying the
dynamic port listed in the configuration manager.
This is the only named instance on the server and it is not the default.
TCP/IP is enabled
Allow Remote connections is enabled
the server browser service is running
I can connect via the dynamic port number
I am testing the connection locally on the server, so I don't believe a firewall is the issue. I get the same results if I test it from a remote computer.
When using the sqlcmd (sqlcmd -S tcp:SQLSRVR\NAMEINST -E) I get the message that "the requested protocol isn't supported [xfffffffff]".   The command (sqlcmd -S tcp:SQLSRVR\NAMEINST,59992 -E) works.
Through SSMS, I get the message "the connection was actively refused".
On other boxes, I can connect with the named instance without having to specify the port.
I have looked through the sql logs and nothing much shows up. The log does show that is listening on the port # for ipv4 and ipv6.   There is also a line in there talking about the SPN not being registered and not to worry about it if
you are not using Kerberos. I logged in through shared memory and it said I was using NTLM.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks.

Hi clw,
I’m writing to follow up with you on this post. According to your description, I do a test, if you configure the database engine to listen on a specific TCP port (59992), and
the port is opened in the firewall. If you want to connect to the SQL Server instance, you 'd better to
use the port number.
In my opinion, by default, the default instance of the Database Engine uses port 1433, usually, if you have configured the server to listen on a non-default port number, when an instance of SQL Server uses dynamic port allocation, the connection string that
is built at the SQL Server client does not specify the destination TCP/IP port unless the user or the programmer explicitly specifies the port. Therefore, the SQL Server client library queries the server on UDP port 1434 to collect the information about the
destination instance of SQL Server.
If UDP port 1434 is disabled, the SQL Server client cannot dynamically determine the port of the named instance of SQL Server. Therefore, the SQL Server client may be unable to connect to the named instance of SQL Server. In this situation, the SQL Server
client must specify the dynamically allocated port where the named instance of SQL Server is listening.
For more information about configuring an instance of SQL Server to listen on a specific TCP port or dynamic port, you can review the following article.

SQL Server 2012 Express - Could not load the file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.OLE.Interop

Windows 7 Home Premium, SP1
64-bit
I just installed SQL Server 2012 express - Express with Advanced Services (contains the database engine, Express Tools, Reporting Services, and Full Text Search),
file name - SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.
Opening SQL Server Management Studio causes the error -
"Could not load the file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.OLE.Interop,
Version=7.1.40304.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The
system cannot find the file specified."
Do I need to install another file? Did I download the wrong version?
Any suggestions? Thanks for any help.

Hello,
The issue may occure when the installation of your SQL Server is not a complete or a successful one. Did you try to repair or reinstall the SQL Server Express? You can also try to install
Service Pack 1 for SQL Server 2012
to check if the issue presists.

Laptop's Fan Making noise when i use flash

I am passionate about playing games online, Not that i care about whether or not my computer gets cracked or not, but i am curious now, I want to know why fan of my laptop start making noises and run faster then usual whenever i play games for more than half an hour. I mostly like [various links removed by moderator] and many others. I just want to know why it happens plus if it can be fixed that would be great.

I've never heard anything from my trackpad save 'clicks' - and I don't recall anyone else coming here with that problem, either.
Since it sounds (no pun intended) like a hardware problem, if I were you I would take advantage of your remaining warranty and take the machine to your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them take a look at it. Could be a swollen battery, a bad trackpad, whatever.
Good luck,
Clinton

Superdrive making noises

My superdrive has started making noises as if it's ejecting a disc. The problem is that there's no disc in. I'm just browsing online and it will randomly make this noise. Anyone have any ideas on what the issue could be? Thanks in advance for any help.

I have also been having this problem recently. It's notable since I've had the machine for about a year and the noise has only appeared in the past couple weeks (I think only since I updated to Snow Leopard). I would also appreciate any suggestions.

SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB parm for keeping unicode char

in developer's windows 8.1 pc, the SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB does not seem to keep Unicode like \U2221. it get translated to the plain - instead of keeping as
−.
what parameter od I need to setup to make sure it keep such character as is

Hi fs - ab,
You know that this forum is to discuss the VS IDE, to make this issue clearly, could you share us a screen shot for this issue? Where did you change your localDB with Unicode?
I did some research about it.
LocalDB supports two kinds of instances: Automatic instances and named instances.
•Automatic instances of LocalDB are public. They are created and managed automatically for the user and can be used by any application. One automatic instance of LocalDB exists for every version of LocalDB installed
on the user’s computer. Automatic instances of LocalDB provide seamless instance management. There is no need to create the instance; it just works. This allows for easy application installation and migration to a different computer. If the target machine
has the specified version of LocalDB installed, the automatic instance of LocalDB for that version is available on the target machine as well. Automatic instances of LocalDB have a special pattern for the instance name that belongs to a reserved namespace.
This prevents name conflicts with named instances of LocalDB. The name for the automatic instance is a single v character followed by the LocalDB release version number in the format xx.x. For example, v11.0 represents SQL Server 2012.
•Named instances of LocalDB are private. They are owned by a single application that is responsible for creating and managing the instance. Named instances provide isolation from other instances and can improve performance
by reducing resource contention with other database users. Named instances must be created explicitly by the user through the LocalDB management API or implicitly via the app.config file for a managed application (although managed application may also use
the API, if desired). Each named instance of LocalDB has an associated LocalDB version that points to the respective set of LocalDB binaries. The instance name of a LocalDB is sysname data type and can have up to 128 characters. (This differs from regular
named instances of SQL Server, which limits names to regular NetBIOS names of 16 ASCII chars.) The name of an instance of LocalDB can contain any Unicode characters that are legal within a filename.
A named instance that uses an automatic instance name becomes an automatic instance.
Reference:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh510202(v=sql.110).aspx
It seems that it is related to the SQL Server, am I right? If so, maybe the SQL Server forum would be better for this issue.
If I have misunderstood this issue, please feel free to let me know.
Best Regards,
Jack

SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB parm for keeping unicode char from TextBox

Platform: developer's windows 8.1 pc with visual studio 2012 pro, .net 4.5, sql express 2012 express and localDB
in a textbox, say textTbx on a windows form, if there is Unicode like \U2221, I can have to save to file and read back without change using textTbx.Text value.
however for the content in the textTbx.Text value, upon saving to
SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB, and then retrieved, the content gets changed for some Unicode like
U2221. it get translated to the plain - instead of keeping as
−.
what parameter do I need to setup to make sure it keep such character as is?

Hello,
In this case, we could convert the text value to varbinary type before storing them to sql, and we could convert it back to the encoded one, you could change UTF-8 to the one you are dealing with.
You could refer to the suggestions shared by Filip Ekberg in the following thread.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11859926/load-or-convert-varbinary-from-sql-to-textbox-text
Here's an example on how you convert a text to bytes and then back again:
var bytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("test");
This will give you a byte array that looks like this:
{ 116, 101, 115, 116 }
Now to get the text again, you can use Encoding.UTF8.GetString() like this:
Encoding.UTF8.GetString(bytes);
This means that you could simple do this when saving the value:
cmdb.Parameters.AddWithValue("@text", Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(textreview.Text));
And then when loading it back you simply do this:
textreview.Text = Encoding.GetString((byte[])dr["text"]);
Regards.
