AT&T home base

Has anyone succeeded in downloading Yosemite using AT&T HomeBase?

Can an airport base station pick up wlan that's in the neighborhood ?
The AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) can wirelessly connect to a network ONLY if it is configured to use WDS. This requires configuration changes on the AEBS AND on the wireless base station which is the source of the wireless network.
Therefore... the AEBS probably can not be used to connect to your neighborhood wireless network.

I bought my iPhone 4 open line in Vancouver, Canada last week for use here in my home base in Bangkok, Thailand. But when I tried using my Thai sim, I get a very weak signal, if not a weak signal, then a no service status. What do I do?

I bought my iPhone 4 open line in Vancouver, Canada last week for use here in my home base in Bangkok, Thailand. But when I tried using my Thai sim, I get a very weak signal, if not a weak signal, then a no service status. I also have very weak wifi reception. What do I do?
I already tried the following:
a. Turned the phone off and then on.
b. Checked all wifi connections – no problem given that all our laptops and desktops can connect seamlessly.
c. I tried restoring the phone to original factory settings via itunes
d. Tried resetting the phone.
e. Tried different microsims from all networks
f. However, all methods failed given that the network reception is very weak and often reflects – “no service”. And with regards to the wifi reception It has difficulty in reading even the signal right in front of the wifi router.
I went to two Apple resellers here in Bangkok and requested that they please look at my Iphone and have it serviced. I was frustrated when they said that given that I bought my phone in Canada, they are not able to support me and should instead try to contact the Apple store in Canada.
I went to apple.ca website and went to the expresslane support and I was said to register and callback. Tried calling the 1800 number but given that I was in Thailand I had difficulty getting a connection.

Remote site can call but home base cant

Hello all,
This going to be a bit of a long post, so I'll ask forgiveness at the beginning and at the end.
Recently we upgraded a few remote sites form a 64 k connection up to t1's.. At the remote sites we had single line phones plugged into a vwic and at the home base we have a line going to our PBX. So far so good. the configuration allows the remote sites to dial 888 to reach the pbx and then they dial and extension to reach whoever they are trying to talk to at the home base. I added a router to the network to accomadate the new t1 wics as our home base router a 3640 was full. Since adding that router we can no longer call that remote site via the "bat phones" the odd thing is they can still call us. I am assuming that I need to add a dialer list to the new router but if i do what interface does that need to be applied to?
the remote site routers are cisco 1750's
with vwics.
12.x ios.
below is the dialer list as it appears in the home base router:
dialer-list 1 protocol ip permit
dialer-list 1 protocol ipx permit

This is not the complete list but hopefully is enough to get the idea.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Again sorry for the lengthy post...
Thanks

I am not sure a dilaer list is going to fix your problem.
Did the new router replace your old router? Or are they both operating at the same time?
If you could post the working config and the new config along with the type of the new router that would help.

Migrating "home base" pc to laptop (How to)

my iTunes home base is on an old XP pc and I would like to migrate it to my newer laptop (windows 8) and make this pc the home base. Can anyone tell me if this can be done, and if so how. Thanks

Yeah, you have to make sure both the pc and laptop, or any other computer on your router, has the same workgroup name. Just in case you do not know where it is, it is located under properties under My computer and when you get there, the tab's name is Computer Name. Once you make sure they are both the same, or change any of them, you will have to restart. Then locate the files you are trying to copy and make sure they are in a location where they are in a folder of some sort. Once in a folder, you can share the folder. You can right click the folder and select: Sharing and Security. Then choose the option of Sharing this folder. This should lead you to sharing it on both computers so whatever computer that is connected to the router can see this folder.
To see the folder, make sure you visit: My Network Places, or visit your network adaptor to see the options of seeing the entire network, or workgroup pcs.
This should be it.

SOLVED: ODBC setup without using ORACLE_{HOME,BASE,SID} possible?

Hi All,
I've installed instant client 11.1.0.6 on RHEL linux.I can connect with sqlplus with connection string like
sqlplus user/pass@//host/service. ORACLE_{HOME,BASE,SID}, TNS_ADMIN are not set. That works fine. Can I achieve the same with odbc and isql? I would like to be able to run isql DSN and all the configuration of the DSN should go into /etc/odbc.ini and I shall not set up ORACLE_{HOME,BASE,SID}, TNS_ADMIN. Is that possible? If yes, how?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you for the answer!
I tried your recipe and it works! Great!
I wonder if it is possible to take it a step further and connect only providing the DSN and no setup in the environment at all.
All the configuration should be in odbc.ini. Does it make any difference if the application connects using SQLConnect()
or SQLDriverConnect()?

How are you bringing files you edited on a laptop back to a home base desktop?

I suppose there are a number of ways to do this, the most obvious would be to have the laptop files on an external usb disk and then plugging that disk in to the home base and doing an import every now and then, but I'm curious what folks are actually doing in practice.
Sam

I use a little utility called "filesync" to synchronize the root folders between the machines over the wireless network.

IPAD youtube videos will not play on "base" wifi but play on "4G" wifi

This problem affects my IPAD2 IPAD3, iphone 4s, iphone 4 with same presentation. All my devices on iOS 7.0.3 .. problem started a month ago about time first upgraded to iOS7 . my ISP at home upstream of my AP is ATT uverse .. ATT is also my provider of 4G wifi via my iphone .. on my home network I use a higher end watchguard router / firewall appliance and for wifi the watchguard AP200s
While connected to my home base wifi, I attempt to play youtube video (several different ways described below) the youtube opens and clearly finds the video but screen says “Playback error Tap to retry”
Next if I turn on the hotspot from my iphone and connect all ipads etc via 4G WIFI then exact same steps result in the video loading and playing NORMALLY … ?? dns issue
Summary of troubleshooting steps so far;
-my Microsoft surface tablet connected to base wifi .. if I run same exact link / video it runs perfectly .. so clearly the base wifi is ok with surface tablet and youtube videos ..
-all wired PCs etc at on network can run youtube videos with no issues ..
-ipad - deleted youtube app and reinstalled … same problem
-ipad - reset all settings .. same problem
-ipad - deleted all cookies and data on safari .. same problem
-ipad – turned cookies to accept all cookies … same problem
-ipad – deleted youtube app and forced to run from safari browser .. same problem
-ipad – manually added 8.8.8.8 as alternative dns to the base wifi .. same problem
-iphones have same behavior but the workaround is very easy here just turn off wifi .. forces down the 4G .. that works fine but for testing purposes I connect to base and all issues mentioned above on ipads are replicated
-rebooted / power cycled ATT RG, WG router, WG AP200s … no change (did this near beginning of troubleshooting)
Any ideas?

Ok I will answer my own issue .. sort of
Partially solved the problem. Seems there is a generalized problem with firewalls and the youtube / apple.
Adding an exception to the firewall for AV scanning allowed the youtube app to start working but accessing the youtube via safari still does not work. Also after adding the exception I had to delete and reinstall the youtube app.
Again before adding this exception .. if I connected to to wifi via my ATT cellular hotspot .. both the app and the safari youtube videos played correctly.

Oracle Base in wrong place

hello,
As part of an upgrade to 11.2.02, I installed the binaries into a new home etc, and then upgraded the database. All appears to be working fine, BUT I made an error with the location of the Oracle Base during the install. Is it possible for me to move this, (and if so would some kind soul point me at the relevant documentation) or will i have to uninstall/re-install the binaries ?
Many thanks,
A

hi
I've never heard about moving oracle homes/bases.
Why bother with it if it works?
Rather you can install 11.2.0.2 in another good location and them move database (e.g. with expdp/impdp or RMAN).
I think you cannot easly reinstall to the old 11.2.0.1 home , only with downgrade option which by the way can make problems.

Accessing my home-based iMac through the internet?

The Goal: Wake up a sleeping Intel-iMac, running Tiger 10.4.11 with a MacBook laptop running Leopard 10.5.4. And then, using the MacBook, I want to gain access to all the files in the iMac and be able to read/write/copy the files on to the MacBook.
The Catch: I need to do this, remotely, outside my airport express LAN network, through an internet connection miles away from the iMac.
My Current Set Up:
Home Base- the iMac, running Tiger, is connected to the internet via ethernet running through a D-Link 5 port ethernet router. The iMac is running OS 10.4.11. The home base internet provider is Time Warner Cable with a dynamic IP address that changes daily. I pay about $35 a month for this internet cable service. To get a permanent IP address would make me a commercial account that would cost me $95 per month.
Remote Base- the MacBook, running Leopard, is connected to the internet via a Belkin wireless router. The internet provider is AT&T DSL
The Settings on the iMac:
I have a password for both the iMac and a different password for the airport connection.
In the iMac System Preferences/Sharing I have Personal File Sharing on.
Remote Login on.
Firewall is On.
Internet Sharing is off.
Under the Network Settings on the iMac, the location is Automatic. Under the Network Port Configurations: Bluetooth, Built-in Ethernet, Built-in Firewire and Airport are all checked and active.
The MacBook has a WakeupLan application installed.
What settings do I need to change in order to reach my goal?
Do I need to download any other software such as a VNC client?
Which VNC client should I use?
Is the VNC client difficult to use?
I know there are services such as gotomypc.com but they only work for PC computers and those computers need to be on and awake in order to access them. Plus those services cost about $180 a year.
I’m looking for something much cheaper but still simple to use.
Any detailed help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Panther

The answer is possibly.
On the Mac you want to wake, make sure that you have Wake-on-LAN enabled (network preferences), and record the hardware (MAC) address of the machine. You will need that later.
Next, you need to enable remote login on your Mac. This actually turns on SSH. By default, this means that you can login to it, via terminal, using 'ssh' and your username and password. While SSH is pretty secure, using a username and password based login is still not very good. You should read the SSH documentation or look for tutorials on the Net on how to create an encryption key and switch SSH to using only key-based log-ins. Guessing a 2Kb encryption key is not going to be practical for most people.
You will also want to go to dyndns.org and register your computer and download a dyndns client (unless your router has that built-in -- many do). DynDNS.org offers a service whereby your computer or router can automatically update it's IP address in DNS. You will need to register a domain name, but from the standpoint of most applications, it will be as if you get a static IP address (the DNS entry will change whenever you are assigned a new IP).
After you've done that, you need to setup your router to forward a UDP port (7 or 9) from the outside to the broadcast address of your LAN. The broadcast address is the IP address of your machine, with the last number replaced with 255. For example, if your iMac has IP address 192.168.1.100, the broadcast address is 192.168.1.255.
Once you've got that going...
On the Macbook you need to install one of the various Wake-on-LAN applications (there are a number of them for OS X - pick one that let's you send the wake signal across the Internet). Configure the Wake-on-LAN program to use the IP address of your router, the port you selected above, and the machine address of your Mac. You can test it now by sleeping your Mac and trying to wake it up. Keep in mind, some routers and switches simply drop WoL packets. If this is the case, you're just out of luck.
On the iMac, make sure that you enable screen-sharing (sharing preferences), which enables OS X-built-in VNC server.
On the Macbook, install Chicken of the VNC or another VNC client.
To connect, first, use the Wake-on-LAN utility to send the wake-up request to the sleeping computer. Wait a few seconds for it to wake, then attempt to connect via SSH. You will want to forward VNC through your SSH connection like so (in Terminal):
*ssh -C -L 5900:localhost:5900 [email protected]*
... when you are logged in, start the VNC client, and connect to 'localhost'. Because you've forwarded the VNC port to the remote machine, it will go though SSH and connect to VNC on the remote machine.
The practical upshot is that you will have a highly secure login to your remote computer on-demand.

How do I change the "home based" computer for my IPOD to a new laptop?

How do I change the "home based" computer for my IPOD to a new laptop? When I plug in y IPOD classic, I get a msg asking me to erase the IPOD. What I'd like to do is make the laptop my "home base" vs. my desktop. I have had no success when using icons from ITUNES.

Stayed home all day, waited into the night, no internet, no commitment to keep me

On several occassions now the FiOS team has failed to send a person when they said they could when I'm without internet and it is my only means of entertainment.
Today I was on the phone for an outage at 9am. I stayed on hold for over an hour and 15 minutes.
I was told my issue was escalated and it should be resolved in 24-48 hours. Naturally I didn't rest there.
I kept calling throughout the day, but the system would send me to billing (I figure that out 4-5 hours later) and if I disconnected some of the techs would not call me back.
After holding once for 20 minutes a gentleman just said something about the phones being down and to call back and he just hung up.
For the most part the people on the phone really did try to help, but no one had an explanation why my order {edited for privacy}wasn't processed.
No one has any idea why I wasn't contacted.
So now FiOS is asking me to wait on them until next week and I'm sorry. I SO LOVE FIOS!!! but if I can't depend on you I don't want you.
If someone is not here tomorrow I've decided I'm moving on to an inferior product Clear 4G, but at least I can have a part overnighted and I won't have to rely on a technician who would not phone me or call and make me wait an entire weekend.
I will not be able to watch any movies, shows on Hulu, or any sports this weekend because of this.
I lost money and didn't get paid today waiting for no one to show.
The delays of waiting on hold and being told one thing after another by those poor folks who were helpless to help me meant that several phone calls took hours and hours and by the time I found out what I was supposed to do everything was closed.
I'm so disappointed in you Verizon FiOS. This will most likely be goodbye if no one is here tomorrow.

Thanks Verizon for listening to your customers!
I didn't ever get nasty with the people on the phone during my 20+ hours of calling tech support, billing, and account management.
The tech just left and I have the best high speed internet on the planet again. #closecall
The issue was resolved when the tech discovered. When I was upgraded to FiOSTV that the remote changes switched ports in my multi-dwelling unit communication box. The technician found the error and worked with the phone crew back at home base to resolve this in about 2 hours.
Thanks Anthony for your private message sending me to the place where I could raise the issue.
I was lucky enough to find a phone tech person (Jane) who listened to everything I had gone through, read through all the logs from over the hours of being on the phone with different techs (and yes .. I still had to go through the question of "did you unplug this or that") and she kept me from freaking out.
When she had enough information she contacted dispatch and after discovering they missed an appointment yesterday they scheduled someone for today. (long story short)
On top of that I had a Verizon help person in Georgia contact me and also confirmed I was scheduled for today.
I'm going to make Clear 4G the bridesmaid now and ask them to cancel my order.
Thanks Verizon! #FIOSFTW

Tar ditto cp or create disk image as a backup of /home directory

in your opinion, what would be the best method for backing up a /home directory to an external drive, possibly missing out the Library directory.
im looking at commands like tar, ditto, cp, and also thinking of a disk image. im less familiar with disk image. other suggestions?
im seeking a method, one or two lines, or basic shell script, that can be put into crontab
i would like to retrieve on a file, directory or recursive root (/home) basis.
and would also like incremental and full backups. aka. checks for newer file dates.
any words of wisdom

I have been using rsync on Mac for about 5 years, but rsync was not included until I think 10.4. Before then you had to install it yourself. rsync works on all Linux based servers since it is a standard Linux command, however the Mac version needs a few adjustments due to the resource fork problem. Hopefully the rsync included with 10.5 will be fully compatible in all categories.

Using POP3 away from your home broadband

I have just moved over to BT from using Tiscali as my ISP for many years. In the past when I set up a POP3 email account I used the SMTP server of the specific email service for sending my mail OUT. I now discover, but only after asking the question of the help desk, that as a new BT customer I may not use any SMTP sever but 'mail.btinternet.com'. This is fine while I am working from home but presents problems when I am out on the road.
I have about 10 email accounts set up on my laptop from which I collect mail daily and then reply to them. Since moving to BT I have set up all the accounts with the BT SMTP server but when I away from home it will not be possible to SEND thru this server. My only option is to wait until I get home to send my mail (And BTW I will not be able to make a second collection during the day before coming home as the mail client will error on the sending. I am using Windows Live Mail and there is no option to *only* collect mail without sending). My other option is to go thru every account individually and reconfigure the SMTP sever (10 times) or I could log into every account via webmail.
I am pretty fed up with this state of affairs as it is not documented in BT material. If I'd known that this would be a limitation I would not have gone with BT in the first place. I cannot be the only one with this issue. Clearly anyone using solely their BT email account, for instance, is prevented from using a POP3 client away from their home base.
Any ideas?
Rob

Thanks for these replies and for the simple solution to my problem.
Last week I set up another new broadband connection at a site I work at but this was an Orange service, not BT. I tried using my desktop client to do my email and noticed that while the mail came in fine under the POP3, the outgoing mail was failing. As I mentioned before I am using 10 different accounts from a variety of different services: Googlemail, Yahoo, Tiscali and a couple of services provided by my web hosting suppliers. While these had worked fine under my Tiscali account they seemed to be failing under Orange. (Actually, as it turned out later, it was only the outgoing Tiscali mail that was failing). After a few calls to the help desk I was advised that I could *only* use the Orange SMTP server for sending mail under the new broadband package. I therefore changed all my accounts so that mail was sent out thru the Orange SMTP sever. For some strange reason I was still getting failures if I used Outlook Express or Outlook (an old version). However, when I changed to using Windows Live the problem disappeared and I am now able to send mail OUT from a variety of accounts with the reply address given as the one attached to the account.
When, this week, I set up a BT broadband line at a different site, I thought that I had better check with the BT helpline whether it had the same policy as Orange. I was informed categorically that I could only use the BT SMTP server (mail.btinternet.com) to send mail OUT. No other SMTP server would work. Naively, I accepted this at face value and did not try setting up any accounts with non-BT SMTP servers. Instead I set up all my accounts using the BT server, as I had done under Orange, but still the outgoing mail failed. It seems that you cannot send mail FROM BTinternet with a reply address different from that associated with the broadband account. I made multiple calls to the help desk and three times operatives used their remote assistance software to take over my screen and check all the settings. Not once did anyone suggest the simple expedient of using, say, the Googlemail SMTP server. On one occasion I even got a help desk supervisor to take over my screen and even he didn't give me an answer.
I had discovered from my own on-line searches that BT appeared to adopt a different policy from Orange when it came to sending out email under a non-BT email address. They require you to *verify* the address first. They give the instructions here... http://www.btyahoo.com/verify. I tried to follow them but the instructions do not line up with the screens you get. It was at this point I got the senior help-desk guy to tandem my screen so he could see what was happening. Even he had to agree that the screens did not match up and it was clear to me by the way his mouse was whizzing around the screen that he had never done this before. However, after a bit of trial and error he got it to work. After declaring your non-BT account, the server sends out an email to the target email account; you log into the target, non-BT account, open the email and copy&paste a ref number into a box on the BT screen. In principle, once you know what to do, its fairly straightforward. However, it didn't work! I still got failures when I tried to send mail from the 'verified' account and I could find no way to list my 'verified' accounts or backtrack and repeat the process.
I even emailed the support people with the query -- more or less the same wording I posted here and, to be fair, I got a phone call pretty quickly following my email. I can't fault them on speed of response. The woman I spoke to suggested I used the alternative server SMTP.MAIL.YAHOO.COM and even suggested that I did not need to set it up with a username/password. Complete nonsense of course and it did not work. She also referred me to BT FON service, which, again was completely irrelevant.
At one point during the day, one guy who took over my screen and, having fiddled around, clearly not knowing what he was doing (the mouse pointer wanderings tell it all!), concluded that he had done his best and BT would have to start charging me if I wanted them to continue working on the problem.
I have wasted hours on this problem and all because (1) I was given wrong information in the first place and (2) I was stupid enough to believe what I was told by an Indian Call Centre (I have learned my lesson now!). They are only capable of understanding and dealing with very simple problems that don't in any way deviate from their script.
The principles appear be:
(1) If you are using the ISP's own, dedicated SMTP service you do not have to check 'my server requires authentication' as the server knows who you are by virtue of the fact that you are coming in via a known broadband line.
(2) You cannot use the ISP's own SMTP server on a different line, say at wifi hotspot, to send your mail using a desktop client even if you check 'my server requires authentication'.
(3) When changing ISPs you cannot leave the old ISP's SMTP server in your account configuration - you must change it.
(4) If you are a peripatetic laptop user and need to be able to use any available internet connection to send your mail, then all you have to do is configure each mail account setting in your desktop client with a non-ISP specific SMTP server. Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail should work OK or you can use the SMTP server provided by your web hosting company (if it provides email in addition to web space - which most appear to do these days). However, you will have to check 'my server requires authentication' and also provide the username+password for the account, which will different from the POP2 account login.
Does that sound right?
Thanks again for your quick and simple answers. I am very grateful and can only conclude that you don't work for an Indian Call Centre!
