Can't get logged on.

I can't get logged on. I installed Oracle 10.1.2.0.2 on a Windows machine (obtained from a Course Technology book).
Issues while installing:
1) The instructions for the software said I would need to get register and receive a number to use when installing the software. I have the number but never found a place to enter the number. Is this number stopping me from loggin on? If so can I uninstall and start over or enter the number in a file somewhere? I don't see Oracle in my program list in the add/remove programs in the control panel or any uninstall files.
2) When ask to configure the network, I entered blanks thinking I could configure the network with the "Net Configuration Assistant".
When I try to configure "Local Net Service Name Connection", I receive this error message:
Connecting...ORA-12170: TNS:Connect timeout occurred
The test did not succeed.
Some of the information you provided may be incorrect.
Click Back to review the information provided for net service name, or Change Login to change username.
3) So I tryed to use the default -
User Name: scott
Password: tiger
Host String: <my ip address>
and
User Name: scott
Password: tiger
Host String: <my service_name>
(service name and IP obtained from my tnsnames.ora file:
# tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File: C:\DevSuiteHome_1\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = xxx.xxx.x.xxx)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = PLSExtProc)
I've tried using EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA and I tried PLSExtProc as the service name,
and received this error message in my log file:
Fatal NI connect error 12170.

nt secondary err code: 60
nt OS err code: 0
Client address: <unknown>
4) The user name and password I am using is the one I set up when I registered the book.
I've also tried using the registration number as the password.
I've never used Oracle before. I've tried reading the program help links and Oracle document sites and can't figure this out. Please tell me what I need to do to get this to work.
Thanks,
Cindy

For someone who is new to Oracle, the amount of documentation available can be rather intimidating. I would second Daniel in this respect -- download and install 10g release 2 instead of the version you have. That way you know you are getting an unadulterated copy of Oracle. If you are fairly comfortable installing software, check out the Quick Installation guide for Windows and the Oracle Database 2 Day DBA in the Oracle documentation. They will get you up and running with a usable instance as quickly as possible. Then break out the Concepts Guide. As Tom Kyte has said, the Concepts Guide is probably the least read of all of the Oracle documentation. It's not easy reading but it is definitely worth it. Anyone who has been around Oracle very long has either read it, is reading it, or wishes they had time to read it.
As far as uninstalling it is concerned, the Oracle installation guide will help you there also. It gives you the proper procedure for uninstalling Oracle which is to use the Oracle installer to deinstall Oracle, not the Add/Remove Programs application in Control Panel. There are also some minor editing steps to make in the Windows registry but nothing too complex. I've done it many times and as long as you follow the steps in the guide, you can't go wrong.

  • New Laptop, windows 8, can not get logged into iTunes.

    Hi
    I have a new laptop with Windows 8. I've installed iTunes but can not get logged onto my account or home sharing etc. I keep getting a pop up message
    "We could not complete your iTunes Store request"
    "The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later"
    I've already unauthorized my old laptop to make way for the new one so it can't be that.
    My iTunes libary is stored on an external harddrive and even though I chnaged to location folder in the iTunes settings it's still not picking up any of that either.
    Any suggestions before I launch the whole lot out the window??
    Thanks

    Try the following:
    If you see a message that your computer can’t connect to the iTunes Store, click another item (Podcasts, for example) and click iTunes Store again. If it still doesn’t connect, make sure your Internet connection is working—open a web browser and visit a website. If your Internet connection is OK, there may be a problem with the iTunes Store. Try visiting the store again later.
    Make sure your computer’s date, time, and time zone are set correctly.
    Make sure your account information is accurate and that you don’t need to correct a problem with a previous purchase. Enter the iTunes Store, click your account name at the top of the iTunes Store window, and sign in to your account. To verify your account information, click Edit Account Info and Edit Payment Information.
    If you’re having trouble signing in to the store using your AOL account, your AOL account might not work with the iTunes Store in your country. Only U.S. and U.K. customers can sign in using their AOL accounts.
    Make sure the iTunes Store is available in your country. For more information, visit the iTunes website.

  • How can i get logged user in EM?

    Hi!
    I have another problem: How can I get phonenr and user info of user logged on phone in EM via SEP? AXL still returns non EM user, who uses this phone.
    Via RisPort I can get SEP, IpAddress, loginUserId (right one - EM) and "something" like DirNumber in format ###-Registered. Is this the right phonenumber? Is this the way to get that informations? And what about more informations in DirNumber (splitted by ,)?
    Sorry for so much questions, but i'm confused ;-). Thanks in advance!

    Solved, sry for spamming here...

  • I need to log on as administrator, I don't ever remember creating a Firefox admin password, How can I get logged in as an administrator?

    I am using Firefox 3.6. I need to log on as an administrator. I don't ever remember creating an administrator account or password for Firefox. What can I do so that I can either find my current administrator password or create a new password and/or administrator account?

    You are probably being asked to use a Windows XP admin account.
    You need to log into your XP Operating Sytem as an admin level user.
    If you use Ctrl + Alt + Del twice from the logon screen you will be offered a choice of user account and password.
    The 'Administrator' account itself is not normally seen when logging on.
    XP probably sets up the Administrator account with a null default password so enter the name 'Administrator' and then put the cursor in the password fields and hit the return key.
    It is always a good idea to actually enter and use a password, it is also a good idea to create a password reset floppy.
    If you have any account that already has administrator priveliges that may be uses to change passwords and account names.
    If all else fails a clean reinstall of the OS will probably get you in as an administrator.

  • How can I get Log Express to recognize my external keyboard? - NEWBIE

    I'm using a Lexicon Lambda phantom powered converter (I think that's what it's called) to run my Left and Right 1/4" cables to, from my Kurweil master out. Then the USB cable from the Lexicon out, to the Mac. How do I get Logic Express to recognize the Kurzweil so I can record the Kurzweil's on-board sounds rather than using it as a Midi controller?
    Very new to Logic and all of this-any help is appreciated in layman's terms.

    OK - got logic to recognize the Kurzweil keyboard on a new track, I can hear the on-board Kurzweil piano sounds, but Logic is not recording it. what gives?

  • Can't get logged in to Buzzword

    When I try to log in to Buzzword it tells me it needs to
    verify my email
    address, and then says it sent an email, but the email never
    arrives (not in my
    junk mail folders either). When I click on the link that says
    "email never
    arrived?" it tells me to call an 800 support number. I called
    the number and
    spent a HALF AN HOUR on the phone with a completely clueless
    support person who
    knew nothing about Buzzword (I spent 12 years running a tech
    support center, so
    I know clueless when I see it), who then ended up directing
    me to post here. So
    I'm posting. But I'm really grumpy. I'm trying to show
    Buzzword in a
    presentation on cloud-based apps on Monday, but it's not
    looking good right now
    (except as an example of how support for cloud apps can be a
    real problem to
    watch out for).

    I'm having exactly the same problem! I can't log in because
    buzzword is not sending the confirmation emails... I've been trying
    for days and nothing (junk mail too). I'm glad that you were able
    to fix this problem for someone else, but it would be really
    helpful if you told us what to do... especially since this forum is
    our only form of support (by the way, it's kind of obnoxious to
    provide a telephone support number that we can call only to be told
    that there is no telephone support... how about a link to this
    forum instead).
    PLEASE HELP.

  • MySQL problem: can't get log-slow-queries to work

    I've edited added the requisite lines to /etc/my.cnf (which is being read on start up):
    [slowqueries]
    longquerytime = 5
    log-slow-queries=/var/log/mysql-slow-queries.log
    And I've tried different locations for the log file, and I've chown'd it to :wheel, then chmod'd it to 777 (which means any user/process can write to it, right?). And even though I run queries that are longer than five seconds, the file still is neither created, nor if existing, is written to. Any ideas? This seems so straightforward according to the MySQL and Apple docs. I can't figure out what it's not happening.

  • I can't get logged in. Have requested password reset email three times but have never received it. What else can I do? The email address is correct.

    The email address is the one I have always used for Firefox. I don't know how else I can request a password change or get technical support help.

  • Can't get logging to work

    I have a simple EJB that I'm trying to write log messages from.  I have these statements in my EJB:
    protected static final Location loc = Location.getLocation("com.company.ejb");
    protected static final Category cat = Category.getCategory(Category.APPLICATIONS,"Downstream");
    followed by this sort of log message call:
       cat.warningT( loc, "Here is a warning" );
    My log configuration for the EAR is as follows:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE log-configuration SYSTEM "log-configuration.dtd">
    <log-configuration>
         <log-destinations>
              <log-destination
                   count="5"
                   effective-severity="ALL"
                   limit="1000000"
                   name="DownstreamLog"
                   pattern="d:/src/ejb.log"
                   type="FileLog">

                   </associated-destinations>
              </log-controller>
         </log-controllers>
    </log-configuration>
    /Applications/Downstream is visible in the Visual Administrator, and appears to be configured correctly, but nothing is written to the log file.
    What am I missing?

    The gateway uses DSAME for its logging, so the log files should be on the server on which you've installed DSAME/Portal. Have you looked there?
