Connectivity in Europe

I use my 8830 almost exclusively overseas. GSM connectivity was perfect for several trips (mostly to England, Switzerland and Austria) until I took a train ride from Rome to Naples with the phone turned on. Since then connectivity with phone and internet is awful...phone will make a connection and lose it within a minute or two. Impossible to receive incoming calls or make outgoing calls...internet spotty reception. I am constantly manually searching for a network, find it and lock it in only to have it drop in a minute or two. What did I do to my 8830 ????

Have you tried just pulling out the battery and putting it back in?
If someone helped you give them kudos. Research all info!

IPhone 4S Connectivity In Europe

I need to know if I can use My Verizon
IPhone 4s in Europe with Local Sim Card

Hello,
Great news! Yes, you can use your Verizon Wireless iPhone 4s in Europe with a local sim. There are some requirements that need to be met before doing so however. You must be a Verizon Wireless customer with your account being active and in good standings for at least 60 days. The device being unlocked must also be active on a Verizon Wireless line of service. This process may only be done once per line every 10 months. If you meet the requirements above please call the Verizon Wireless Global Support Team to complete the process. You can reach the GST at 908-559-4899 (outside the U.S.) or 800-711-8300 (inside the U.S.) Please let me know if you have any additional questions and or concerns. Thank you.

MacBook Air 11" - WiFi not connecting in Europe

Hello everyone,
I just recently bought my MacBook Air 11" this summer and it is currently running on OS X Mountain Lion. I purchased it in the United States and had very minimal problems with it. I bought it for the purpose of using it for my work in France for the next 8 months. I just arrived this week and have been unable to connect to any WiFi networks whatsoever. I have not set up a personal connection at my apartment but it continues not to work when I bring my laptop to the school I work which has a very strong unsecured WiFi connection.
Is there something I'm missing here? I have never had WiFi problems before but upon moving to France, my US-bought MacBook Air just doesn't want to connect. I keep receiving "A connection timeout occured". I want to believe it's just the signal but I see no reason why it shouldn't connect to a strong signal-- and I would hate to assume that's the case only to set up my own WiFi at home and find it still doesn't work weeks later. The location is set to Automatic at the moment.
Any step-by-step advice would help. I am extremely new to Apple products and not great with the lingo or navigation quite yet so thorough directions of how to approach the diagnostic would be very helpful.
Thank you!

First, I don't think anything is really wrong with your MBA. There are different WiFi frequency/channel patterns in different areas, but that's on the router side, your MBA should adapt to that without you noticing.
Have you tried restarting your MBA while in the WiFi range?
You should see that you get hold of a network admin of your school, and show him your problem. It might be as simple as him resetting the router. There can be other limitations in the network as well, e.g. if they want to keep the students from accessing it, certain computer addresses can be allowed only (aka MAC addresses, but not to be confused with "Mac" as in Apple). Someone is maintaining the network there, talk to him/her.

How One EP Portal will connect the 2 Different System(ECC Europe,China)

Hi Friends,
I have one more doubt on Multi region Functionality. Here we are using single EP Portal. Depending up on user we are able to connect to the ECC System.
Ex: Here we are using 2 ECC Systems( ECC Europe and ECC China). In Portal ECC Europe is login into the Portal he will be able to connect ECC Europe System through ECC Europe Model data and Meta Data like as ECC China user Login into the Portal he will be able to connect ECC China System through ECC China System Model data and Meta Data.
How can I do this work. Can you tell me. What type of coding I can write here. Please give Help.
Regards
VijayK

Hi Vijay,
Not just multiple Systems/JCos needed, you also need multiple souce objects to connect to multiple Systems/JCos.
In your case you need multiple iView (applications), and configure them to connect to different back-end systems.
You got to modify the Application Parameter of WD iView objects saperately to talk to different systems.
Reason, you cannot make one application to use multiple JCo destinations at any point of time.
Thanks,

TS3477 How can I view movies, pictures, etc from Mac Book Pro (bought in he States) on a Sony TV(in Europe). Do you have change the settings on the Mac to comply with the european TV ?

I have a Mac book pro ( 7,1 version ) bought in the US and want to see some videos, pictures and movies on a Sony TV with HDMI connection (in Europe).
When connecting both the pc and the tv, I get on the tv the opening screen of a mac book pro but although a movie is playing on the pc it does not show on the tv. Do I have to change something in the displays on the system preference screen ?
Thanks for helping out.

By 'opening screen' do you mean the spiral galaxy desktop? If so, then, with the TV connected to the MBP, open System Preferences ➜ Displays ➜ Arrangement. You will see an image of two screens. At the top of the smaller of the two screens in the image is a small bar, this represents the menu bar at the top of your display. Drag this small bar to the top of the larger of the two screens in the image. The menu bar and dock will now appear on the TV which is now the primary display and all the action will take place there.

Problem: Mixed Exchange 2007 / 2013 CAS Servers with wildcard certificates in Europe and non-wildcard Certficate in China

Hi,
we have following problem. We have a mixed multi-domain one-forest AD environment. We also have still a mixed exchange 2007 / 2013 environment. We also have different CAS Servers for 2007 SP3 (RU15) and 2013 (CU8) in europe and one 2007 SP3 (RU15) CAS Server
in China, because of bad connection to Europe. For the Migration to 2013 in Europe we installed a wildcard-certificate *.xyz.com and used the Set-OutlookProvider EXPR -CertPrincipalName msstd:*.xyz.com, so the wildcard certificate is accepted. Everything in
Europe works fine, inside and outside also between exchange 2007 and 2013 (both CAS Server 2013 and 2007 use the same wildcard certificate). But since the change of the Set-OutlookProvider EXPR we are facing problems with our CAS Server in China, because this
server has a different non-wildcard certificate and a different domain name (cas-server.xyz-china.com instead xyz.com). Now we have the problem that this Chinese CAS server the Outlook Anywhere does not work anymore and prompts always for the username. As
I see it is because of the EXPR change. Is it possible to set the the Outlook-Provider EXPR per Cas-Server ? (They also have their own Autodiscover on this front-end server). Because I see that the Outlook-Provider can only be stored forest-wide.
If not the other solution would be to register the chinese cas server in our xyz.com domain and use the same wildcard certificate on this system right ?
Any help would be appreciate….

Yes setting the EXPR value is most likely the cause of your issue. When you set this value you are telling Outlook to only accept connections from connections that have the cert with the subject name you specify here.
Unfortunately, based on my experience I believe this is an organization wide setting and cannot be configured on a CAS by CAS basis (If I'm wrong someone please keep me honest :)).
So the only option would you have is to change all the URLs to be on *.xyz.com domain. There's no need to change the domain the server actually resides on. The other option would be to purchase a UCC Cert with all the names you need and apply
to all your CAS servers and reset the EXPR value.

Extremely slow connection to Apple site on MacPro

I'm connecting from Europe (Poland). I've got LAN connection (i work at university - so it's generally fast) and everything is OK until i try download anything from Apple.com - updates or movie trailers etc. (only from this site!) - it's SLOW (few kB/s)
I've got few computers in my workplace, every one with different IP but in the same class (156.17.63.210, 156.17.63.135 etc..). Every PC with MS Windows works fine, and do download the same files as Mac but much faster (~1 MB/s). I think difference is only operating system - even broser is the same. I've tried to install fresh Mac OS X (tiger) or use applejack, but did't help.
Anybody can tell me whats wrong?

You ought to try just logging into this Apple Forum via Dial-up... talk about slow, 15 minutes some days!
Might try some tweaks in Terminal, these will all reset to defaults on reboot...

How much bandwidth does iChat audio chat use?

I have a friend who has a broadband connection via a 3G/Edge cell phone connection in Europe. She has to pay for bandwidth in chunks of 500mb. Anyone have any idea how much bandwidth audio chat uses on an hourly basis.

It's complicated by how much data you can send in Video with Audio or Audio only or text chat and by what rate then can accept it.
iChat normally sends Audio chats at about 25kbps up to about 48kbps
After that is a question of ding the math.
This will give the rate that is th Max. What you will not know is how much of that is actually data measured as Download over the service.

The AppleTV SCART mess, part 2. Working converter?

Wonder why the thread went locked?
Anyways..The SCART mess is IMHO boiled down to:
Sabaoth (starter) wrote:
There's something I can't really understand about this big problem with AppleTV and SCART connections in Europe->I don't know why customers without high definition TVs have to mess around buying expensive YPbPr to RGB transcoders.
Ljungbergarn (me) tought ATV had RGB out (wrong, and I am far frpm not alone here in EU) The "RGB" out is NOT RGB, it is (?) YPbPr (also called "Y/Pb/Pr", "YPrPb", "PrPbY", "B-Y R-Y Y" and "PbPrY") and since I am not a rocket-scientest
(as many others who bought ATV) I can not get ATV to work with my European fat TV.
Ian Parkinsson wrote:Apple do NOT state anywhere that the output is RGB, they clearly state 'Component Video'.<->
Correct. but again..I only looked at the connections looked like RGB.
My mistake, not knowing all these weird connectionsnames and that Apple did not take notice of EU tv´s are working.
MADIMAGE wrote (and put the finger right on the spot)
The question is, why is not AppleTV offering a RGB
output mode? This conversion could be easily done
at the driver level in the embedded OS X AppleTV
ships. All TVs with standard SCART connections
could display AppleTV video signals, without
requiring expensive convertors with external power
supplies; not to mention all the confusion concerning
standard definition TV support. Many users are
spending hours and hours reading forums and product
hints to find a solution.
In my opinion, adding RGB support from inside AppleTV
is just a matter of doing some easy math with the
signal before sending it to the output. It makes no
sense to disregard this solution, considering that
AppleTV is being shipped in Europe, where RGB is the
video standard - or at least it has been for a long
time <->
RC-R wrote:The "problem" is that Apple TV is not designed for standard TV's.
<->
How true...
AppleTVfan wrote:In Europe these kinds of TVs have been sold with SCART and composite or s-video inputs, but never with component inputs.<->
True again. So Apple did make a mess as Sabaoth said not thinking how TV´s are made in EU. (thanks Apple!! Grrr)
Now when we know that ATV demands a modern "US" tv is the question for us who has A: a European TV or B: a TV without HDMI or Composite.
THE HAMA Video converter did not work:
http://www.hama.de/portal/articleId113956/action*2563/searchMode*1/bySearchvideo+converter
It converts:
- YUV (Cinch in) in RGB + Sync (Scart out)
- YUV (Cinch in) in RGBHV (5 x Cinch out)
- YUV (Cinch in) in RGBHV (15-pol. HDD)
- RGB (Scart in) in RGBHV (5 x Cinch out)
- RGB (Scart in) in RGBHV (15-pol. HDD)
None if this worked! (of cource)
here is the the answer from HAMA:
Dear Mr. Ljungberg,
thank you very much for your e-mail.
The Component-input (YUV) of the Video Converter 2-3 is able to handle interlaced signals up to 576i and progressive signal up to
576p. These signals are converted to Scart-RGB an are availabel on the Scart RGB-out of the converter. So because you want to make a
connection to a TV-set with Scart-RGB input you have to take attention to the supported signals of a Scart-RGB input of any TV set.
The TV set will only accept interlaced signals up to 576i. If you setup your Apple TV to any progressive signal or to any interlaced
signal higher than 576 i you will see corrupted picture or no picture on the TV screen.
To make shure that your TV set is able to display the signal without any problem, you will have to setup your Apple TV to 576i
output, all other setups are wrong and will cause corrupted picture.
After you have connected the Apple TV and switsch it on the first time, the setup will start automatically, this setup also includes
the setup of the picture format. It is alos possible to start this setup manually at any time. To do this, press and hold down the
"Menu"-key and the "+"-key togetehr for about 6 seconds. Apple TV will now start to switch slowly between the different picture
resolutions. As soon as it it setup to a resolution that is supported from yout TV set, you will se the Apple Logo clearly on the TV
screen, click the "OK"-key at this moment, to stop the searching procedure. To exit this menu, press and hold down the "Menu"-key
until the Apple TV mainmenu is shown.
For some TV sets there may be need to setup the Scartinput manually to RGB-mode, please refer to the TV manual. TV sets with more
than one Scartinput usually will have only one Scartinput that is able to handle an RGB-signal. Please refer to the manual or the
menu of the TV set for this.
Cables with poor shielding quality may cause interferences and so the picturre quality will not be very good. We recommend to use
cables with seperately shieldes wires ony, please do not use cables with only one common shield for all wires together.
With good quality cables and the Video Converter 2-3 you can reach a cable length of up to 30 meters with perfect picture quality.
Since the Apple TV is available, many customers are using our Video Converter. Until today only a couple of problems appeared. In
any case the problem was solved by seting up the correct picture format 576i on Apple TV and using high quality cables.

Buying a ATV is asking for headache (IMHO)
NOW IS THE QUESTION; WHAT CONVERTER WILL WORK?
Old G5 Duo 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.8) 2GB Ram

Ola,
If it is any consolation to you, many people all over the world are confused by the many different video standards & connection methods used for different video formats. SCART was one of several attempts at an "everything" connector to simplify things for consumers, but since it was developed almost 30 years ago, long before digital TV, HDTV, & electronic content protection became a reality, it is inadequate for today's needs.
The same is true for older TV's, & this is not limited to one part of the world but is -- or soon will be -- the case pretty much everywhere. This is not the fault of Apple or any other equipment maker. If you are looking for something to blame for this, blame the march of technology, which both demands & makes possible more efficient & flexible use of the ever more crowded TV channel spectrum available around the world.
Put simply, all major, technologically advanced countries are switching to digital TV. Because its benefits cannot be fully realized while analog broadcasts continue, all these countries either have or are contemplating turning off analog broadcast TV transmissions after some transition period. For example, in the US all analog TV broadcasts will be turned off by Feb. 17, 2009. (For other countries, see the Wikipedia's Analogue switch-off entry.)
What this amounts to is the first worldwide effort to move from a number of incompatible TV standards, each based on regional electrical standards over half a century old, to a single set of flexible standards suitable for everyone, whether they want HDTV, SDTV, or a mix of both. This should be a good thing in the long run, but for now it means a huge amount of TV equipment is about to be rendered obsolete.
Moreover, most consumers (regardless of where they live) can no longer assume new & old gadgets will work together without converters that will themselves eventually become obsolete.
With this in mind, it makes sense to decide if a converter or a replacement TV is the better value.

Missing IDES ECC5 installation disk for SAP Kernel - MaxDB Version

Hi,
Our HQ sent us installation disks for IDES ECC5. We copied them all onto our server and started installation. The system is now informing us that it can't find the SAP kernel information.
I can only assume that we're missing one of the installation disks.
We're desperate to get this installed and it will take another week for our HQ to send through another disk. Does anyone know whether we can download this from somewhere? We have had a look on SAP marketplace but you only seem to be able to download the kernel for Oracle, MSSQL and DB2....no MaxDB.
Additionally, if there is somewhere in Asia we can download this, then that would be better as we are having internet problems when connecting to Europe and the US.
Thanks in advance!
Tristan

Hello Tristan,
This is not the correct forum to post your question.
You was not asked about the database(MAXDB) kernel software.
You need SAP kernel software

In the 'Part II: Installation and Post-Installation' document you will find the the list of the required DVDs for the SAP system-ABAP installation.
-> Are you running the installation of the the 'Central Instance', 'Dialog Instance' or 'Database instance' ?
For the 'Database instance' Installation you need:
SAP Installation Master DVD
SAP Kernel DVD
RDBMS DVD
SAP Export DVD
-> What CD/DVD do you have for the installation?
< You could download the CDs from service.sap.com/installations ->
Entry by applicataion group ->

Just prepaid 4G-data for one month?

Hi - maybe someone can help me... I will travel along the West Coast with my family in August. I am thinking about buying a mobile LTE hotspot to connect all our devices to the internet to keep connected with Europe via WhatsApp, Facebook etc. The Verizon Network seems to have the best coverage in the area we are travelling. Any suggestions which data plan I should prefer? Estimated data transfer is 3GB for 3 weeks. We do not really need Text or Talk (but would be nice to have when included anyway) Looking forward to hearing from you!

If you are looking for temporary access while traveling then prepaid Jetpacks are the way to go. Regarding the pre-paid plans you will have to talk to a VZW rep and review what is available. Its great that you can estimate 3GB of usage for all devices while you are on your trip. Just be sure you stay on top of your usage while you travel so you do not run over your limit too early. Check your data frequently and remember to power down your Jetpack when you are done using it to close up any leaking data applications.
The generic Verizon contact info can be found here:
http://www.verizonwireless.com/wcms/contact-us.html
I know pre-paid has its own department so you will have to make your way over to those folks to plan everything in advance. They have a direct number but it escapes me at the moment. The general phone number is 1800-922-0204. Since you are a new customer you will have to request a sales rep and then get transferred over to Prepaid.

Db replication

Hi experts
following is the scenario
operation system Linux
database 11G
We have database in EU and users are connected to it via India. we are facing severe connectivity and performance for sending data or processing data
possible solution would be to have basic replication in place
Are there any other ways to make this process efficient
thanx

Basic replication still requires a connection.
Severe connectivity problems would block basic replication from functioning properly.
Resolve the connectivity problems. In 1995 it was already possible to connect from Europe to a database 6000 miles away. Never had any problem.
