Airport Icons distinguish between what?

Here's a picture of my problem:
http://marajade.hypermart.net/airport.jpg
It looks a little odd because I had to take a picture of a picture. The initial window wouldn't copy for whatever reason when I used Grab.
Instead of the regular airport signal turning black when I have full access to wireless internet, a weird little gray diamond with a monitor/computer in the center appears and I cannot log online
No matter which internet connection I choose from those available on that drop down menu, the same signal appears.
Now, this happens in certain buildings at my school, but I'm curious what this particular symbol means? Thanks!

Ah, okay! So I would have to become a part of the
network to have access to the "free" wireless on the
drop down menu?
I suspect that this is not free wireless at all, but someone trying to tempt you to connect to what you think is a free network in order to hack/attack your laptop.
Obviously I don't know for sure, but I have certainly seen this kind of thing before.

What does that superposed arrow on the airport icon mean?

On one computer I cannot connect to the airport base station as I can with all other Mac's using the same procedure on the same base station network. On the Mac I cannot connect from, a G5 is using OS 10.4.10, the airport strength symbol is not highlighted and there is a vertical highlighted arrow superposed on the airport symbol. What does that superposed arrow on the airport icon mean?

SteveCC, Welcome to the discussion area!
I believe that you are seeing the icon indicating you G5 is acting as a base station. On that G5 open System Preferences->Sharing->Internet and stop Internet sharing.

The airport icon stopped showing on iTunes. What is the fix?

My airport icon stopped showing in iTunes. What is the fix? I am running iTunes on a non-Mac.

You could try doing a reset, which is holding down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds, see if you can force it to reboot. However if your iPad won't stay on then you may not be able to do that.
It may be the battery. It may have reached the end of its life. I'd make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check it out

What happened to my AirPort icon?

Hello,
I lost my AirPort icon at the top of the screen, on the apple bar with the date and time.
It used to be there to show my connection but now it isn't. I can still go on the internet and everything but now it is missing.... help?
I think it got replaced with the volume icon...

Go to System Preferences>Network. Select "Airport" if need be.
Is "Show Airport status in menubar" checked?

Missing airport icon in menu bar HELP PLEASE

Okay, I have a g4 powerbook that came with tiger.
I am missing the airport icon that once was there in the menu bar at the top right-hand side.
What I've done: ran disk utility, = all's well, check for software updates = all's well there too., and the most obvious, check the box under system pref. for airport config.
I check it and it is does, nothing. I go back to system pref. and is unchecked again.
IM AT A LOSS. Anyone with this problem PLEASE help.
thanks...

muecyl,
Do not concern yourself with the other files that you found at that location. Just leave them where they are.
Since your problem is also related to some extent to System Preferences, you may benefit from trying the procedures outlined by Dr. Smoke in Try the following....
Another possibility is to download and reinstall the Mac OS X 10.4.6 Combo for PPC.

Distinguishing between CSV and Excel file formats

I am trying to distinguish between CSV and Excel files. Most of the files I need to process are CSV, but some have been opened and re-saved in Excel format. I know about the Excel toolbox available, but haven't used it yet.
I need to be able to open a spreadsheet file regardless of if it is in CSV or Excel format. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here are two example files, one CSV and one Excel. Both have .XLS file extensions.
Attachments:
20-4-XLS.xls ‏21 KB
20-5-CSV.xls ‏8 KB

Hi Paul,
I think the matter is not the extention (xls or csv or whatever) but the format of the data written in your file.
To see what I mean, open the xls file you posted with notepad... What does it look like ?
You have tobe sure of the format of the file you want to read so that you can develop an appropriate VI... if you want to be able to read different type of data format, do a test before reading the file and then use an appropriate routine for each format.
Hope this helps you...
BTW, to read the one named CSV, a simple "read from spreadsheet file" VI will do the job

A way to distinguish between 'Parent' keys and 'Referential' keys

Hi,
We use referencial keys to specify the FK to a parent table and also link to other tables... I need to write a script that needs to distinguish between a 'Parent' key and and a 'Referential' keys. In the database they both look the same, as they are both foreign keys...
What's the easiest way to determine whether a FK is a link to a parent table or a link to an unrelated table..
I hope this question makes sense...
EDIT:
Here's an example of the tables, and a better explanation
CREATE TABLE PARENT_TABLE(
par_id number PRIMARY key,
par_name varchar2(200)
create TABLE RELATED_TABLE(
rel_id number PRIMARY key,
rel_name varchar2(200)
create TABLE CHILD_TABLE(
kid_id PRIMARY key,
kid_name varchar2(200),
par_id,
rel_id,
CONSTRAINT kid_par_fk FOREIGN KEY(par_id) REFERENCES PARENT_TABLE(par_id),
CONSTRAINT kid_rel_fk FOREIGN KEY (rel_id) REFERENCES RELATED_TABLE(rel_id)
)Ok, as you can see the child table has 2 references but no way to tell which one is the parent table.. In our database we have this hirearchy of parent-child tables (where it's one-to-many relationships) where we consider a table a parent of other.. And also we have a ton of other foreign keys that link to related tables (many-to-many) relationships...
Now i need a clean way of distinguishing between PARENT and RELATED table.. A more elegegant solution to a keeping a hierarchy table of parent, child tables.. I'm sure others have this kind of structure..
let me know if there is more clarification needed.. Sorry for the confusion..

It's only your own business rules and usage that make one of the FK relationships to a "parent" while the other is to .. what, an "uncle"? ;-) Oracle has no way of knowing what your business rules and usage are.

The airport icon (upper right portion of the screen) says I am connected to my airport; but, I don't get the icon on the Itunes window (rectangle with a triangle at the bottom of it) that allows me to select the stereo that is connected to my airport?

The airport icon (upper right portion of the screen) says I am connected to my airport; but, the Itunes window doesn't show the icon (rectangle with an arrow in it) that allows me to select the stereo system speakers that are attached to the airport. What's up with that?

If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

Distinguish between TABLES Paramters

Hello!
For Example is the FM below given. How can you distinguish between
TABLES Paramters ?
starting with X_ are those in which data is passed
starting with E_ are exporting tables, which get filled within the F/M.
starting with I_ ????????????????????

hi in se37
if you see the FM..
the one mentioned in the Import tab are the import variables
on Export tab are the exporting variable the one in the tables tab are the tables...
to know what they are .. you need to see the Associated type for it.... if you are double clicked on it.. it will take you to the associated type... check what type it is..
If its a table.. you can see transparent table/database view
if its variable it will take you to the data element of it...
so you need to know or distinguish between tables and variable this is the way..

Distinguish between AW5 and 6 in script

I'm trying to create an application in Automator to automate the conversion of AW to iWork. I'm using one of Yvan's scripts to convert AW6 to iWork successfully. The only step remaining is to convert to AW6 from 5, something that shouldn't be too hard since all it has to do is open and save. However, I can't find a good way to distinguish between AW5 and 6. In his script, I believe Yvan does this here:
on AWtoAW6(leCheminOriginal_UniText) -- leCheminOriginal_UniText est Unicode text
          local leFichier, flag, nf, l, nouveauChemin
          set leFichier to leCheminOriginal_UniText as alias
          try
                    tell application "AppleWorks 6.2.9"
activate
open leFichier
                              set nf to name of document 1
                              if nf contains v6 then
                                        set AppleScript's text item delimiters to v6
                                        set l to text items of nf
                                        set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
                                        set nf to l as text
                              end if
                              if nf does not end with ".cwk" then set nf to nf & ".cwk"
                              set nouveauChemin to cheminDeStockage & nf
                              tell application "System Events"
                                        if exists (file nouveauChemin) then set name of file nouveauChemin to (text 1 thru -(2 + (length of "cwk")) of nf) & my horoDateur(modification date of file nouveauChemin) & ".cwk" (* name stamped *)
make new file at end of folder cheminDeStockage with properties {name:nf, file creator:"BOBO", file type:fileType}
                              end tell
                              set leFichier to nouveauChemin as alias
save document 1 in leFichier
close document 1
                    end tell -- AppleWorks 6
          on error
                    set rapport to rapport & msg96 & nouveauChemin & return
          end try
end AWtoAW6
But I'm not sure. What I need is a script that opens, checks if it's an AW5 file, if it is opens and saves in AW6, and then proceeds to open my other script that can do the

I'm not sure what you mean. The files have to be saved as AW6 for the iWork apps to be able to open them.
Yvan has added all of his AppleWorks scripts to his Box.com account. He says the one you need is https://app.box.com/s/hqq9jwfi45nknjpf6d52

How can I distinguish between the first and the rest in Smartforms??

I have made an Invoice in Smartform. I have to take three copies of that. In the first copy it will be printed "ORGINAL INVOICE" and in the next copies it will print "Duplicate copy". How can I distinguish between the first and the rest in Smartforms??

Hello Vamshi,
As per the OP's requirement he has to print 3 copies of the invoice. Which according to my understanding should be printed at the same time ? May be i am wrong in interpreting this.
You must be knowing you can control the print params of the SmartForms in CONTROL_PARAMETERS where you set the NO_DIALOG & in the OUTPUT_OPTIONS pass the number of copies.
I think the solution you have proposed the "Original Copy" will be printed only once. (Correct me if i am wrong)
Every time the user prints the invoice again he will be getting a "Duplicate Copy". If this is what the OP wants the logic is perfect
Cheers,
SUhas

Airport icon turned grey, no networks shown

G4 Quicksilver running 10.4.11
Last night after several years trouble free operation Airport on my wife's G4 suddenly started cutting out and then coming back in. Sometimes it was off for a few seconds, sometimes for a few minutes. Restarting didn't cure the problem.
This morning it was steady for several hours, then started cutting out/in, now it seems to be mainly out.
What happens is this. The black airport icon turns to grey with all bars still showing and connection is lost. When this happens available networks were initially sometimes shown in the drop down menu, sometimes not (usually there are four or five neighbouring networks shown).
When networks are shown clicking on ours sometimes, but not always, brought it back on.
When no networks are shown going via ‘Other’ and entering our details initially brought it back but no longer.
At present the Airport icon is showing grey with four bars all the time.
I have tried reseating the Airport card and checking the aerial connection but these seem OK. (I’m assuming that the existence of four bars at all times shows that a signal is being received so card problems are unlikely; is that right?)
I have deleted com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
I have zapped PRAM and repaired permissions.
I booted from an external HD (10.4.2) and the same problems appeared. The fact that the same problem exists with another boot disk suggests to me that the problem lies in the G4 rather than software.
Any ideas, please?
(I started a similar thread in the G4 forum which has had no takers so far and as Tiger forums seems to get more Airport traffic I thought I would try here.)

+”Get Temperature Monitor - 4.51 to see if it's heat related”+
I’ve used Temperature Monitor in the past and it only shows drives, not CPUs on our G4s. (Reading round this seems to be a problem with the current version and I can’t find any earlier ones.) However I reinstalled TM and it showed drive temperatures going up and then staying very steady at around 35° for the boot drive (newer) and a bit lower for the original HD. I haven’t actually observed the CPU fan running but air is definitely moving through its vent. The CPU/fan area is clear of dust.
However I’m beginning to go off my temperature theory as the pattern of the problem has changed.
It originally started to show itself when the Mac had been in use for some hours and would then mean that Airport would not show any network virtually continuously until shutdown. Now at boot it may be OK for several hours, a few minutes or not at all. During the day it will sometimes come back for some hours or just minutes.
In all cases the symptoms are the same. The Airport icon turns grey but retains four bars. No networks are shown in the dropdown menu. Turning Airport off/on has no effect. Sometimes it will return on its own, sometimes networks are shown in the menu and connection is then usually possible.
I have now tried booting it from the backup HD I use for my G4 (10.4.11) and the problem as described was present from the outset. To be strictly accurate I booted it from its own startup disk and Airport was OK but when I restarted using the other drive via Startup Prefs Airport showed five grey bars but no networks.
I have also rebooted the router in case that was involved.
With my limited understanding of what makes Macs tick all this suggests that the problem must be within the G4 either in data (but PRAM has been zapped) or hardware rather than being a system issue.

Airport icon says not connected

my airport icon says not connected, but i am? no problem surfing but is doing it to all networks. uopdated osx no problem. whats the fix? its just started rebooted alllsorts of stuff but still says not connceted. but no problems surfing with any browser or app.
Ethernet is connected to Paul and has the IP address 192.168.1.102. but icon says exclamationmark and says not connected if click on it. but working

Try disconnecting the Ethernet cord and see if that changes it.
You can also try going to System Preferences/Network/Wi-Fi and deselect the show in menu bar option and then reselect ity.

Distinguish between 'Edit Page' and 'Customize'

I have a portlet/provider that needs to be able to distinguish between 'Edit Page' and 'Customize (Page)' (top level). In both cases you can add portlets, but I want to implement different logic for both instances.
Thanks,
Jan
null

Okay, so here goes!
Oracle Portal stores the way a portlet instance is shown/put on a page in the db-column 'wwpob_portlet_instance$.include'.
In the portlet 'register' call you can find out what the originating action was for this portlet to be placed on the specific page. At this stage only two possible values are interesting:
3: WWPOB_API_PAGE.PORTLET_CUSTOM; The originating action was [Customize Page - Add Portlet]
1: WWPOB_API_PAGE.PORTLET_BASE_SHOWN; The originating action was [Edit Page - Add Portlet]
For now this gives me a hook to process the two originating actions differently.
Please let me know if you know of any other (less hacked) way to do this.
Thx,
Jan.

How to distinguish between two publish services

Hi,
I have two instances on a published service plugin, but how can I distinguish between them. Currently, I'm accessing the publish service via
activeCatalog:getPublishServices( _PLUGIN.id ) which returns just an array. So far so good. But when I change some settings in the Publishing Manager for "instance-A" everything in "instance-B" is changed to the same values as well.
What I'm doing wrong? Please help!
Thanks,
Lars

It is definitely possible to maintain separate sets of settings for two or more
publish connections of the same publish plug-in.
Without more detail on what exactly your code looks like, it is difficult to say what's not working right.
The contents of 'exportPresetFields' should be maintained on a per-connection basis.
