AirTunes Set Up Problem

I am currently connected wirelessly to the internet via an Airport Express in my office. I purchased another Airport Express so that I can connect my stereo in the living room to my computer in order to use Air Tunes. I can not for the life of me connect the new Airport Express to my existing network. The light continues to flash amber. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It turned out that this was a gateway issue. When I tried a Linksys and Buffalo gateway, this problem vanished. The actual reason and rationale for it remains unclear.

Airtunes: set up problems with bt homehub

This thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8127213&#8127213 does not solve my problem.. I tried all the different suggestions and still no joy.
All I want is to stream music over the speakers of the hifi wirelessly. I don't need a second network or an extension to weak spots. (although if that is the only/easier solution I'll take it)
Right now, if I manage to get Airtunes working, I cannot connect to the internet. If I have the internet, the Airport Express fall away. How do I get internet+Airtunes simultaneously? (i.e. how do I make Airport Express a client of the Bt HomeHub)
I'll happily provide more details of settings, there are so many I don't know which ones would be useful right now.
Many thanks in advance!

Hey Epicdream, that would be wonderful. Please let me know- either here or via e-mail.
I've tried so many different suggestions and variations, and still AE drops from view after submitting the details through Airport Utility, or it blocks the homehub, which then keeps resetting itself until I switch off AE. Having both internet access and music simultaneously would be most wonderful At the moment I still have to switch.

Oracle to Mysql character set conversion problem!!! PLZ IGNORE

Hi Experts,
I have created a database link from Oracle 10g to Mysql 5.
I have installed Oracle Gateway 11g for this purpose.
When i retreive the data from sql plus the text is displayed as question marks.
Oracle 10g Database character set is WE8MSWIN1252

It is OK to post a globalization-related question in this forum in addition to the forum pertaining to the main technology. Not all experts follow all possible forums on OTN. Of course, you should cross-link the posts to let people merge the answers.
Regarding the problem itself, make sure that SQL*Plus has the right NLS_LANG setting in the environment. On Windows, in the Command Prompt:

An odd set of problems - full re-install fail

Hello helpful computer people
I have a funny set of problems which has culminated in me wanting to fully reinstall operating software. I will explain why I want to do this in a minute, but the main problem is that I can't manage to do it! When I boot up my mac from the startup disk I get a messed up display. The information is obviously all there on the screen, but it's displayed in weird jagged lines. This means that I can't make out where to click to continue with the installation. I also though that the disk drive was being particularly clunky sounding, but could be imagining that.
You can see what I mean here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/33449131@N02/7160853520/in/photostream
The problems up to this point have been really odd, with applications one by one stopping responding and finder crashing. Also the computer will sometimes not go to sleep when closed and the fan will go a bit mad. I have had particular problems with browsers crashing and generally the computer grinding to a halt with nothing but the off button having any effect.
I have tried loads of stff - reseting P ram, repairing disks, running cleanups on Onyx, removing programmes etc.
I want to go back to square one because things are getting a bit messy, it won't let me reinstall Safari becuase it thinks it's already there, but It doesn't show up on search!
I tried reinstalling Snow Leopard but realised that didn't really do much and am now going down the route of putting the original install disk in. I bought there computer second hand btw, so there is a possibility that the install disks are wrong, although unlikely because the guy was trustworthy.
Thanks in advance for all your help

Brand new IPad 3 out of the box - set up problem with Apple ID

Brand new iPad 3 out of the box - set up problem. It says my Apple ID (email address) is already being used. I reset the password successfully but still says I need another Apple ID. Why won't the ID recornize me?

Open current iTunes on your computer. Connect iPhone to the computer with the Lightning USB Cable. Hold both the Home and Power buttons for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes the iPhone in Recovery Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes. If still problem, make Genius reservation or set up Sevice and take or send to Apple for resolution under Warranty.

Help with AExp and airtunes - setting up network

So I've had one of the original airport expresses for a few years, and in my previous house I used it in WDS remote mode, using the ethernet jack as an internet connection for a..ahem...well known gaming console, and the audio jack for airtunes.
In my new home, I have a more complicated setup that I like better, but I have a problem understanding the steps I need to take to get the airtunes speakers to show up in itunes.
Here is my setup:
the main router is a flying saucer airport extreme (creating a b/g wireless network) -- ethernet out of this into a wired hub, from which run ethernet cables to jacks in the rooms of my house. my iMac is connected to the wall in my office via ethernet. In the living room there is a new model airport extreme, in client mode, creating an 'n only' network. My living room devices are plugged into this airport extreme. (apple tv, tivo,and "gaming console")
I am hooking up some outdoor speakers, and was going to use my old airport express as the way to get music to them. I once again have it set up in WDS remote mode. Everything so far seems to be working, however I can only see the airport express as a speaker option on my iMac iTunes if the airport card is turned on and connected to my b/g network (originating from the airport in the attic) which it isn't usually. I keep it turned off so the imac will use the ethernet hard connection to get media to the apple tv.
I guess I sort of understand that it needs to be connected to the wireless network of which the airport express is a part. And I guess it's not a big deal...if I'm going to be outside, I will have to turn on the receiver, turn on the imac wireless card, and select the express in the iTunes speaker menu. Three steps instead of two...no big deal.
But it seems logical to me, that if everything is connected to each other in some way, it shouldn't matter if the computer streaming music to a wireless device is connected to the network wired or wirelessly.
I guess I could also just leave the wireless card turned on, but if I do, does iMac know to use the fastest possible connection to stream data across the network? i.e. hard wired. (the express is on the b/g network that I keep to allow older devices to get on the network)
If you are still reading at this point, I am impressed. You truly have the heart of a teacher. Please let me know if anyone can explain this to me. Thanks so much.
iHoo

P.S. -- I just now noticed that under system preferences/network you can 'set service order' which seems to be in what order iMac goes through your network connections. I had never noticed that.
I guess this means that it will default to ethernet (if I put that at the top) for a network connection, but still have the airport express available to it.
So if I am understanding this correctly, it appears the solution is to keep airport turned on and connected to the b/g network.

Remote not working. network set up problem

okay... The remote app is not working.
I have installed it on my phone and successfully made it work both on my computer and on the computer in the mac store. So i know the iphone is not the problem. The problem is I had to set up a temporary network on my computer. I want to get the current network configured correctly to work with the iphone remote app.
Here is what is happening:
i open up remote, choose my library, the code comes up for me to enter. but itunes does not find my iphone.
Both the phone and the comp are using a wi-fi network from my router. It is password protected, both have the password installed in them. When i check system prefs on both they are using the same network.
When i went into the apple store, it instantly recognized my iphone and was able to set up the remote there.
On my own computer I can set up a secondary network and it works there. To so that I went to the airport icon on the top right, the pull down menu has "create network" as an option. I created a new network and THAT network used the remote app. But when i restart the computer that network is deleted.
What is configured incorrectly in my main wi-fi network that is not allowing the remote the be recognized?
I know the questions are going to come up:
i have itunes 8
iphone firmware is updated.
both have been reinstalled.
in itunes i do have the "accept remote" button clicked. i tried resetting it but it said it could not remove remotes since none were recognized yet.
I think that covers all the info i have on the problem. I really appreciate everyone's help on here. thanks!
gjclimer is online now Report Post Edit/Delete Message

I'm having this problem also and I'm in the process of reseting everything. I have tried turning iPod touch on/off, reinstalling the remote app and closing/opening iTunes.
Two things to check:
1. Go to View, Preferences, Sharing and make sure iTunes is set to share your library. Sometimes turning this on for the first time you connect the remote solves the problem and you can then turn it off again once it's working.
2. Make sure your wireless devices (everything connected to your wireless router) are on the same network as the computer you are trying to connect to. I have a main wired router going into my PC and use Airport Express as a wireless extender (basically plugging it into the router to beam the internet access out to wifi devices) and originally the main router put my PC on one network (172.x.x.x) whilst my wireless devices were on a different one (255.x.x.x), so the two devices couldn't see eachother. The way to solve this problem is to tell your wireless router to act as a 'bridge' under the wireless router's settings, which will extend the network of your wired router, rather than create a whole new one.
I'm not sure either of those will help but it's worth a go. I'll let you know if I solve the problem at my end and how I did it.

Using Calendar.set() method problem

Hi all,
First of all sorry to bother with such a trivial(?) matter but I cannot solve it by myself.
I have a piece of code which I simply want to handle the current date with the GregorianCalendar object so that the date would be set to the Calendar.SUNDAY (of the current week). Simple enough?
Code as follows:
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
public class Foo
public static void main(String[] args)
     Foo foo = new Foo();
     Date newdate = foo.bar();
public Date bar()
     GregorianCalendar m_calendar = new GregorianCalendar(new Locale("fi","FI"));
     m_calendar.setFirstDayOfWeek(Calendar.MONDAY);
     Date newDate = null;
     try
          m_calendar.setTime(new Date());
          System.out.println("Calendar='" + m_calendar.toString() + "'");
          m_calendar.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, Calendar.SUNDAY);
          SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy.MM.dd");
          StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
          sdf.format(m_calendar.getTime(), sb, new FieldPosition(0));
          System.out.println("Date in format (" + sdf.toPattern()          + ") = '" + sb.toString() + "'");
     catch(Exception e)
          e.printStackTrace();
     return m_calendar.getTime();
This should work at least accoring to my understanding of the SDK documentation as follows with
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1_01-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1_01-b01, mixed mode)

Date in format (yyyy.MM.dd) = '2003.06.08'
Which is the sunday of this week. But as I run the same code with:
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1.06-020625-14:20)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.3.1 1.3.1.06-JPSE_1.3.1.06_20020625 PA2.0, mixed mode)

Date in format (yyyy.MM.dd) = '2003.06.01'
Which is sunday of the previous week and incorrect in my opinion. The latter result is run on HP-UX B.11.11 U 9000/800 and first on NT.
Any ideas why this is happening? Thanks in advance!
Greets, Janne

Thanks for your answer!
The problem is that I have to work with this older SDK version. :) But I got it solved by using the roll method with the following syntax:
int delta = [dayToSet] - m_calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
in which the delta is of course the difference (negative or positive to the current day of the week)
and then using the roll call:
m_calendar.roll(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, delta);
which doesn't alter the current week. So this works if someone else has a similar problem with the version 1.3.1

Please help - Time Capsule Set up problems

I bought a Time Capsule almost a year ago at the same time as my iMac, but have only tried to set it up in the last 3 weeks (so its the 6"x6"x1" version). I followed the set up instructions numerous times but kept getting an error message in Airport Utility. I rebooted my broadband and tried the factory reset of the TC.
Eventually I contacted Apple and after repeating everything whilst they were on the phone, they made an appointment for me at the Genius Bar to have the TC checked over. The Apple rep was able to access the TC using the internal Apple network and a normal port but had the same problem I did using the WAN connection so deemed the item faulty and replaced it.
My new TC is exactly the same and this time Apple advised me to ask my BB provider if there were any firmware updates required or reasons why I would be having problems. They also checked that I had the latest iMac software and Airport Utility. BT (my BB provider) went through a series of tests and concluded that my BT Home Hub 3 was faulty and have replaced it.
So now I have a new Home Hub 3 and another new TC and I've still got the same problem. I only want to use the TC for backing up my iMac with Time Machine but Id like to do it wirelessely. Can someone please tell me what I should do next as I can't believe its still down to faulty products.

I have just been watching Internet traffic on my McAfee security software on my BB and it shows that my router and TC both have a green light for access through the firewall, until Airport Utility gets to the point in its routine where it shows 'joining to the TC' and then my router loses access to the Internet and gets a red light as connection lost. Is that normal, and/or does it help diagnose what the problem might be?

HP Officejet Pro 8620 - set up problem with MAC OSX version 10.7.5

I have just bought a new Officejet Pro 8620 and all set up fine to a point. Problem is that when I try the HP Utility set-up and click on "Add Printer" and identify it as "Bonjour Malfunction" and select the printer from the pull down menu list, I receive the message:
"The software for this printer is currently unavailable, please contact the printer's manufacturer for the latest software".
I have already downloaded the latest software from theHP website - but stil no resolution.
Any help please would be gratefully received.

Hello @Kennynic!
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
I would be happy to provide some help regarding your Officejet 8620 and installing the software on the Mac. The first thing I suggest is to ensure all the HP Software is removed from the Mac. I suggest uninstalling the HP Software. After the software is uninstalled I recommend performing a "repair disk permissions" on your Mac. A repair disk permissions is a utility built in the Mac operating system designed to locate and resolve issues or errors that may cause complications when re-installing. After the repair disk permission is complete restart your Mac and try adding the printer again.
To uninstall the HP Software click here: Uninstalling HP Software
To perform a repair disk permission click here: Performing a Repair Disk Permission
There is only software available for Mac 10.10. Unfortunately there is no full feature software and driver available for Mac 10.7. You should still be able to add the printer using the AirPrint drivers. Go into System Preferences from the Apple icon and click on printer and scanner. In the printer and scanner window click the add printer icon and you should be able to add the 8600 printer via Wi-Fi and AirPrint.
I recommend checking for software updates on the Mac. To check for software updates click the "apple" icon at the to left and click on "software update". Install any HP or printer updates. After any updates you should restart the computer. and try printing.
Please post back and let me know how everything goes!

Home Networking and Multiple Router Set up Problem

Router 1 (Main Access Point)
        X
(Routers 1 and 2 connected via a wireless bridge)
Router 2 (Wired Access Point)
    X
(Router 2 and 3 connected via a wired bridge)
Router 3 (Wired & Wireless Access Point)    Note:broadcasting under a different SSID
         X
Problem:
When I set up a wireless and wired bridge my Internet connection works perfectly and I can connect to the second SSID. If, however, I close out of my browsing session and come back to my laptop several hours later and open a browser, I get the “webpage cannot be displayed” message.
I suspect this has to do with IP addresses changing from the main router after a certain amount of time.
What could be causing this?
What can I do to stop this from happening?
Thanks for any help

Running multiple router behind router can be tricky and may be the cause of your dropouts if you don't have it configured properly.
Cisco recommends using your best router as your primary router and DHCP server.
The best way to setup for home networks, in my opinion, is to use only one router, and put the other router(s) in bridge mode. Also, make sure your modem is not a router too.

Set type problem in sales order integrated into loyalty management

Hi experts,
I try to implement the sales order integrated into loyalty management. As notes said, I should use the set type REWARD_PRO_LOY to assign to a hierarchy for loyalty. But when I use this set type in hierarchy, I found I can only assign it when I choose "service" for product type. Then I find in the "REWARD_PRO_LOY" set type, there is a switch tab. In the tab, there is only "services". I don't understand this tab means. I want to assign this set type to "materials" type. I tried to created a new set type with the same attributes, but it seemed not to work. Is anybody can give me some advice to solve the problem?
Thanks a lot,
Best Regards,
Molly Xin

Hi Molly Xin,
If you refer to your first screen print, its very evident that the product types with which products be created using this set type includes both "Materials" and Services".
We have created similar scenario and were able to create products with product type "Materials".
Pease let me know if you have any issues while creating products with product type "Materials".
Regards

New mac set up problems with time machine

Bought a new 21 inch mac yesterday and going through set up I tried to use my time machine disk at the appropriate point (when it asked me) to copy the data. Now the mac refuses to move on, after it rebooted I get the apple sign and the swirling thing despite a pram reset and booting in safe mode.
Any ideas on how I can force the mac to go back to original settings, it's literally just come out of the box and problems happened at the time machine part on set up.

Startup your Mac while holding down the Option key.
That should launch the Startup Manager window where you can select the startup disk then click Restart.
If that doesn't work, startup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys.
From there you will have access to the built in utilities to restore OS X using OS X Recovery.
There is an option to restore from a Time Machine backup using OS X Recovery, but in this case, just restore OS X first. Get your Mac working again before using Time Machine.

Gmail Google Apple Mail Set Up Problem

I have had my Gmail POP account working successfully for about a year. I recently switched my internet provider and since then I can not get Apple Mail of my Jabber iChat account to work.
The problem I get with Apple mail is: Connection Failed The server error encountered was: The connection to the server "pop.gmail.com" on port 995 timed out.
The iChat message is: Could not connect to Jabber. Could not connect to host talk.google.com
I sent many emails to Google showing them my set up and they could not help. They said I should contact my internet provider.
Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix this?
Thanks, Nick

My new ISP provider which is ERSnet.net could provide now help. I am forced to use them because of my stupid apartment complex. I miss comcast Anyway, ERSnet.net say everything Apple Mail should work but they admitted that no one at the company understands or uses Apple Computers. Their website www.ersnet.net has a section for FAQ which is pretty bad as well.
