Does "erase when connecting" really work?

A few weeks ago, my MacBookPro got stolen :-((
Of course, I had registered it with 'Find My iPhone', and, immediately after it got stolen , I requested in 'Find my iPhone' an erase as soon as it would connect to the internet.
However, so far, iCloud reports that it has not yet connected to the internet.
So I was wondering, whether that feature actually works, or whether it is possible to circumvent the erase.
Is it possible to change the serial number of a Macbook ?
Or is it possible to connect it to the internet such that Apple cannot erase it?
Best regards,
Gabriel.

Hi GabrielZ,
Very sorry to hear you had your macbook pro stolen !
All I can say is that I heard the "erase when connected" Does Work !
Good luck with everything

You might want to update Safari to 3.12. I would empty the safari cache. (Safari>Empty Cache). Then quit Safari. System Preferences>Network>Show:Airport>TCP/IP. Insert the following into the DNS Servers box;
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
then hit apply. Now launch Safari. You should also try powering down modem, router and Mac and power up in 2 minute sequence; modem, router, Mac.

WRT54GC - Does the DHCP Server really work?

Hi everyone,
Im new to this forum so i dont know if this problem has been discussed before and is there any solution to it.
I own a WRT54GC since January 2007 and have had no problems since then, but recently I found out some issues about the DHCP server on this unit:
This is what i have on the network for you guys to understand my network setup:
Cogeco Cable Modem for the internet (Im located in Canada), Linksys WRT54GC router, One Trendnet File/Print Server for my USB all in one Lexmark printer, and external hard drive, and an Acer laptop.
The network works perfectly (wireless internet, wired internet, printing, file transfer) except for the following DHCP issue:
DHCP server does not update the IP address of my laptop even if in the router settings i assign 5 mins or any minuites to the lease time of the IP address and I keep my laptop on and connected to the router either wireless or wired.
The router has been enabled for DHCP and can assign the IP address automatically to my laptop upon powerup. I also have allocated 6 users for DHCP and starting IP at 192.168.1.101 which means that the range is from 192.168.1.101 to 192.168.1.106
When I check who's connected to the network, I see that my lap is connected to it and the expiry of the lease time is given. I can also see that if the lease time is set to 5mins then it down counts until zero and it defaults to some wiered number after the time is over and doesnt change the IP address of my laptop. Looks like a bug in the DHCP server software. The above was tried when using the wireless connection.
When I connected the laptop using the ethernet cable to the router (wired connection) a somewhat similar behaviour but instead if I set a lease time of 5mins or any other mins, the server does not recognize this and defaults it to a lease time of a day (similar to setting 0).
I have configured my laptop for DHCP so I dont think there is anything wrong with my laptop but I do feel that the DHCP server on this WRT54GC is working abnormally.
Any suggestions?......Try it out first and see if you have the same problem.
If you dont than i will be glad if you could tell me how you were able to make it work!
Cheers.

Thanks for your reply. Im not looking forward to change my IP address every 5 mins. My question is more related the functional behaviour of the DHCP server. With all the proper settings (and I belive I have done the settings correctly), the DHCP server should update the IP addresses of any computer on the network after the lease period ends and provided the computer was on for the time the lease period is valid and not shut off. Even if I use the default lease setting of a day, it still does not change the IP address if I keep my laptop on for more than a day or so. I feel that the DHCP server is not functioning as it should. I dont really need to change my IP address and Im happy if it doesnt change, but I came across the abnormal behaviour when I was going through the setup. I just thought I should try to see how the DHCP server on this unit works and to see that it was not working as it should I thought I should ask someone on the community forum to see if this is really a normal behaviour or has linksys distributed a faulty product. My network works fine and Im the only user so Im not concerned about security. Im using WEP. To answer your other questions: There is no specific reason as to why I chose to limit DHCP to 6. I think 6 is good enough for me and as no one else is using my network I think 6 is an enough number for DHCP server to assign an unused IP address to my laptop after the lease period expires. I believe I dont need 50. The reason why I used 5 mins as lease time is because I wanted to test the DHCP server. 5 mins is short and I can wait and monitor to see if my IP address gets updated. Waiting for a day will be overkill for the simple test. Did you try it on your router? I'd be interested to know how it worked for you if it really worked. Thanks for you help!

I cannot print to my photosmart 7510 when connected to work with VPN

When I try to print to my printer while connected to VPN, I get an error that the software could not communicate with my printer. The IT department where I work has configured the VPN so that traffic to my local LAN is allowed (does not go through the tunnel). I had no problem printing to my old printer when connected with VPN (old printer was a photosmart 2510 connected via wireless network).
These symptoms lead me to believe that the printer software is attempting to connect to the internet when I send a print job to my local printer. Why is it doing that? What settings do I need to change to make it stop so that I can print while connected with VPN?

But I don't understand why the internet connection that my printer has comes into play when I'm sending a print job from my PC to my printer over my local network. I am not using the web services at all for that particular function.
At least I shouldn't be - I don't know what the HP print software installed on my PC is doing under the hood. The software shouldn't have to access the internet to send a print job locally. Nor should my printer have to access the internet in order to receive the print job from my PC.
What exactly is the printer or the print software accessing the internet for when I send a print job from my PC to my printer over my local network?

Outlook: "Send Immediately when connected" not working for Word 2010

When i disable the option in Outlook "Send Immediately when connected" the messages are placed in the Outbox until i send them manually.
But when i want to send a Word 2010 document from within Word 2010 by E-Mail the message is send immediately.
Is it possible to place the message/document in the Outbox just like with Outlook?
Thnx in advance.

Hi,
I cannot reproduce this problem in my environment. When I send a Word document by clicking File > Save & Send > Send as Attachment, it just go to the Outbox like the common message.
Does this issue happen to all Word documents at any time?
What's the send/receive interval you set in your Outlook? It could still occur that your message will be sent near instantly when you send a message right before the automatic send/receive interval takes place.

Why does my wifi connection stop working sometimes?

Hello.
Maybe this has already been answered and I'm sorry but I didnt know what word to use in english to find the exact problem in google lol.
Well, The problem is that my wifi connection seems to stop working sometimes, it takes about 1 to 10 min and then it just comes back. I can notice it because Safari stop to load pages, the appstore doesnt load, and I tried with google chrome : same results
I experience this about 2 to 5 times a day, it's just pretty annoying. The wifi logo shows that it is always connected, it never shows that he is reconnecting
May this be a router problem...? Or simply the computer
My specs : 1,6GHz, intel core i5
2go of RAM. It's a 2 years old MBA
Thanls a lot !

Hi CPUGenuis!
I have an article for you that addresses this situation and will help you troubleshoot this issue:
Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628
Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly
Your Mac may not not stay connected to your Wi-Fi network reliably.
Your Mac may stop accessing the Internet during use.
Solution
Use these steps if your computer disconnects from its Wi-Fi network unexpectedly.
Check your range to the Wi-Fi router and reduce the effect of interference.
If your computer is too far from your Wi-Fi router or your environment has too much Wi-Fi interference, then your computer may not detect the Wi-Fi network properly. The easiest way to check for range limits with your Wi-Fi network is to move your computer or your Wi-Fi router closer together and make sure that there are no obstructions (such as walls, cabinets, and so forth) between the router and your computer.
See Potential sources of wireless interference for more information about interference and solutions.
Try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network. If your computer works fine when connected to a different Wi-Fi network, then the issue may be related to your network router or ISP. In that case, contact the manufacturer of your router or your ISP.
Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

Does import page function really works

I 'm trying to import a page from an application into another one. The two application are in the same wroksapce. Each time I try the import I get this error message
ORA-20001: GET_BLOCK Error. ORA-20001: Execution of the statement was unsuccessful. ORA-00001: unique constraint (FLOWS_020000.WWV_FLOW_PAGE_PLUGS_PK) violated <pre>declare s varchar2(32767) := null; l_clob clob; l_length number := 1; begin s := null; wwv_flow_api.create_page_plug ( p_id=> 30908269848226167 + wwv_flow_api.g_id_offset, p_flow_id=> wwv_flow.g_flow_id, p_page_id=> 85, p_plug_name=> 'Controle', p_plug_template=> 30914950155248874
Error installing page.
Return to application.
Is this functionnality really work or is it just there for fun ??

It works, but only when you export from the same application. It may be useful if you only modify a single page in your development environment, and want to import that into production. That way you dont need to import your entire application.
Here is the message you get if you try to import from an application with a different ID or workspace:
This page was exported from a different application or from an application in different workspace. Page cannot be installed in this application.
So they must have the same application id to work

How does the SetDefaultReport Method really work?

I've looked in the forum and can't find the answer in enough detail for me to understand it.
I need to create a new print button on a system form (delivery notes) and when the user presses it, I need to change the default report for the user/bp combination on the screen, invoke the print button, then return the user's records in the RDFL table back to what they were before I made a change.
I have it working so that everything up to the changing things back is fine. (Although if the user doesn't have any defaults already, then I have to set the same default twice, because the first set assigns the system values, even though I assign a reportcode, layout code, card code and user id).
But the main problem is if the user/bp combination did not have a default specified in RTYP before I made my change, then I can't get rid of my default record in that table, so the next time the user goes to print via the system print button, hoping to get the system default, my default report is going to print instead and that's not what they want. Whew!
Is there some place on the website that might explain this process in some detail? For instance, why are their records in this table with a negative userid number & what does that mean? Why does the user need to be a super user for me to do this via the DI but they can do it through the application without being a SU?
I'd really appreciate any insights, and thank you.

Hi Rasmus,
In regards to your trouble getting the default report so that you can set it back when your done, I think I've gotten that figured out. It appears to me that GetDefaultReport always returns the original default for a document that is used (from the RTYP table). This is regardless of user/customer. What I'm doing is looking in RDFL by user & customer for any specific default and use it if found.
If not found, then I use the getreportdefault & assign it to that user/customer. This puts a record in RDFL which is not the way the system would do it (It would delete the record, I believe), but it seems to have the same effect.
            'get current default report for this user for delivery docs
            ReportCode = "DLN2"
            rs.DoQuery("Select dfltreport from rdfl where userid = " & USERID & _
                    " and doumntdode = '" & ReportCode & "' and cardcode = '" & cardcode & "'")
            If Not rs.EoF Then
                HoldLayout = rs.Fields.Item(0).Value
                'otherwise use the system default
            Else
                'get report layout service
                oReportLayoutService = oCmpSrv.GetBusinessService(ServiceTypes.ReportLayoutsService)
                'get report params
                oReportParams = oReportLayoutService.GetDataInterface(ReportLayoutsServiceDataInterfaces.rlsdiReportParams)
                'Load the key for the default report
                oReportParams.ReportCode = ReportCode
                oReportParams.UserID = USERID 'This doesn''t seem to work. Changing user doesn''t change results
                'get the default layout of the specific document (delivery note)
                oReportParaDefault = oReportLayoutService.GetDefaultReport(oReportParams)
                HoldLayout = oReportParaDefault.LayoutCode

All songs are erased when connecting Ipod Nano to PC.

It happened a few times now since the last few months, so last momnth I uppdated all softwares and installed the latest Itune. But it happened again last night. All songs got erased as soon as I plugged in my Ipod Nano to update or add new songs. Anyone experience that, what can it be.
PC windows HP.

Ok not sure what you mean, I did have to restore it It's my daughter's ipod)at work on my computer, added a few songs to see if it works, so it worked, gave it to her and she strted using it at home on the home computer and synched her ipod with Itunes to download her songs, was good for a few weeks and then last week she connected the usb cable to put more songs, that's when she lost everything and Itunes said to use the Ipod updater.... again!!!
So do you mean that I she has to be on manual mode at home, since I initally put some music on my work computer???

How does nocycle in connect by work?

hello
there is a table t that defines parent-child relation:
p | c |
6 | 4 |
5 | 4 |
4 | 5 |
4 | 6 |with this query:
select level l, p, c, connect_by_iscycle cycle, connect_by_root p root_p, connect_by_root c root_c
from t connect by nocycle prior c = p;the result for level 3 is the following:
L | P | C | CYCLE | ROOT_P | ROOT_C
3 | 4 | 5 | 1     | 4      | 6
3 | 4 | 6 | 1     | 4      | 5   my reasoning is as follows. there are 4 rows at level 1: (4,5) (4,6) (5,4) (6,4) and each row can be a starting point for CONNECT BY paths down to level 3
(a) (4,5) -> (5,4) -> (4,5)
(b) (4,5) -> (5,4) -> (4,6)
(c) (4,6) -> (6,4) -> (4,5)
(d) (4,6) -> (6,4) -> (4,6)
(e) (5,4) -> (4,5) -> (5,4)
(f) (5,4) -> (4,6) -> (6,4)
(g) (6,4) -> (4,5) -> (5,4)
(h) (6,4) -> (4,6) -> (6,4)for me (a),(d),(e),(h) are loops, which leaves (b),(c),(f) and (g) as non loops.
my question is: why are (f) and (g) excluded from the result? I suppose I make a mistake in reasoning, but exactly at which point?
thank you
create table t (p number, c number);

Hi,
As always, start with the Oracle documentation. The SQL language manual
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/pseudocolumns001.htm#i1009313
says "The CONNECT_BY_ISCYCLE pseudocolumn returns 1 if the current row has a child which is also its ancestor. Otherwise it returns 0."
In this example, CONNECT_BY_ISCYCLE=1 when the current row (let's call it X) is connected to another row (Y) according to the conditions in the CONNECT BY clause, but the c column of Y has already appeared as c in the path leading to X.
When trying to understand CONNECT BY queries, I find it helpful to display the results of SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH. For example, the following query
SELECT SUBSTR ( SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH ( '(' || p || ',' || c || ')'
                             , ' -> '
            , 5
            )          AS path
,     CONNECT_BY_ISCYCLE      AS iscycle
FROM     t
CONNECT BY NOCYCLE     PRIOR c     = p
;given your sample data, produces this output:
PATH                                   ISCYCLE
(4,5)                                        0
(4,5) -> (5,4)                               1
(4,5) -> (5,4) -> (4,6)                      1
(4,6)                                        0
(4,6) -> (6,4)                               1
(4,6) -> (6,4) -> (4,5)                      1
(5,4)                                        0
(5,4) -> (4,5)                               1
(5,4) -> (4,6)                               1
(6,4)                                        0
(6,4) -> (4,5)                               1
(6,4) -> (4,6)                               1If you find it helpful to add other columns (p, c, LEVEL, or the CONNECT_BY_ROOTs) then add them. I feel it's easy enough to find all those things from the display above.
I wonder if you're thinking the rows in t as vertices. Don't: you'll understand CONNECT BY queries much better if you think of your rows as edges. Think of the individual c values as vertices.

Thanks Solomon. From what you say I understand that connect_by_iscycle value = 1 is inherited at all lower levels.No. Remember what the manual says: CONNECT_BY_ISCYCLE means that a node has a child which has already appeared in the path as its ancestor. That node may have other children that either do not hove children (and therefore can't have children that are their own ancestors), or have children whose children are not their own ancestors.
If you add these rows to your sample data:
INSERT INTO t (p, c) VALUES ( 5, 11);
INSERT INTO t (p, c) VALUES ( 5, 12);
INSERT INTO t (p, c) VALUES (12, 13);then the output will have 28 rows, including these 6:

(4,6) -> (6,4) -> (4,5) -> (5,11)                      0Notice that the last 3 rows of this output have iscycle=0, even though they are descended from two rows that have iscycle=1.
But I really don't get the results. Let me rewrite points (a)-(h). as I understand it, they form the following possible paths:
4 -> 5 -> 4 [loop detected] -> 6 in result set
4 -> 5 -> 4 [loop detected] -> 5
4 -> 6 -> 4 [loop detected] -> 5 in result set
4 -> 6 -> 4 [loop detected] -> 6
5 -> 4 -> 5 [loop detected] -> 4
5 -> 4 -> 6 -> 4 [loop detected] not in result set
6 -> 4 -> 5 -> 4 [loop detected] not in result set
6 -> 4 -> 6 [loop detected] -> 4 Why those paths are allowed
4          6 4-->5-->4-->6                 1          3
4          5 4-->6-->4-->5                 1          3even in those paths the loop is detected earlier than in paths not present in result set?What query is producing those results?

Failing to load webpages when connected at work (works fine else were)

I have a PowerBook G4 that I moved between work and other locations. I have never had any issues before, but now I am getting a very strange issue in Safari (1.3.2). If I enter the domain name of the site (say www.apple.com) it fails to ever connect, but if I put in just an IP address it is fine. This caused me to think "Hurm...DNS lookups are failing for some reason". But this seems to not be the case. I can open up terminal type "telnet www.apple.com 80" and then "GET index.html" and it works just fine. So DNS looks ups are atleast working Terminal. Also, this only occurs when I am at work. We have no other machines on the network that experience this problem. All other machines there are just fine.
Any ideas?
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I will say that Linksys Routers are notorious for being subpar. My suggestions would be to disconnect the router and cable modem and turn off the computer (and everything).
Then, wait fifteen minutes.
Then, turn on the cable modem. Let it go through all its blinky phases, then turn on the router. Wait at least three minutes for ole' cranky to wake up. Now turn on your Mac.
This is what you have to do when a router forms a bad DHCP client lease.
An alternate first step would be to manually enter your own IP address that's the same everything except make up a 200 range number and throw it in for Z on the equation before .*..Z.
E.G.: if your DHCP address is 192.168.3.43, make up your own ending and manually enter it. 192.168.43.200. Set the router as x.x.x.1 (e.g. 192.168.43.1) and SubNet as 255.255.255.0

BC4J Question: How does AM and Connection Pooling work?

Hello everybody,
we are just trying to understand what exactly happens when a BC4J Application Module is created / when a AM is checked out of the pool with respect to Connection and Application Module Pooling. Especially we would like to understand what ConnectionStartegies, EnvInfoProvider and SessionCookies exactly do and when and how to customize them. Especially we would like to use features like virtual private databases (VPD) and proxy authentication (a feature of the Oracle OCI JDBC driver) with BC4J application modules. We found the HowTo about using JAAS and VPDs with BC4J (http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev/howtos/bc4j/bc4jvpdjaas.html) but there are still questions, e.g. when is the afterConnect() method of an ApplicationModuleImpl called? During the instanciation of an AM or every time it's check out of the pool?
Any info on this topic would be very welcome!
Regards
Stefan

Hi,
1. Setting jbo.doconnectionpooling=false ,
connection pool still exists.
Is it correct ? When you set this parameter to false, you are saying that Connection Pool is not managed by AM, so you need to specify a JNDI Name in Application Module to use a Pool not managed by AM.
2. There is one situation to set
jbo.doconnectionpooling=true. The article said
"when you have a large number of application
module pools all needing to database connections
from the same underlying application user at the
database level. In this case, the many application
module pools can perhaps economize on the total
overall database sessions by sharing a single,
underlying database connection pool of JDBC
connections, albeit at a loss of efficiency of each
one. This choice would be favored only if total
overall database sessions is of maximum priority. "
Does it mean that if we set it to true when we
have many many AM instances and we cannot afford to
have such number of connection instance in the pool
? It's means that the JDBC connections will be shared avoid new Connection at time.
Normally i use Connection Pool not managed by Application Module.

HELP ~ Does disputing credit reports really work?? Nervous!!

Hi Guys,I'm working on my husband's and my credit. I'm drafting a dispute letter found on the MY Fico site and well, I'm a bit nervous! I'm hoping to get all the collections removed because of errors and the misrepresentation of reporting as Factoring companies and they are in fact Junk Debt Collectors! Debt was purchased after the charge off happened!
I could use a bit of help with what I've found. I'm stuck on how to dispute or if it's worth the time to do so. Thanks for any help. One Collections is with Calvary (has 1 Cap One account) because the DOFD is wrong and the last time they updated on his report was in May 2015. I don't really want to get them to report again! LOL The other Collector PRA has 2 Cap One accounts and doesn't include a DOFD! Also I noticed on the Cap One charge offs they have the last DOFD wrong on all 3! Last Payment made 12/15/2011 on payment history box it's Jan 2012 OK Feb 2012 30days late. 2 other CAP ONE Accounts have the Last Payment on 6/28/2012 and in payment history box it's July 2012 OK Augst 2012 30days late,
Plus for Fingerhut, the Date of last payment is July 12, 2012 and in pay history it has 9/12/12 OK 30 day late October 2012 then Nov and Dec with N/R and Jan 2013 120 days late then FEB N/R then Charge off in March 2013.

Hello lookn_glas_shrd,

How does the Identity Column really work?

I am having an issue with an application using SQLServer 2008. My app has a class called SalesInvoice. I use ADO and VB6 for my app.
The Index value for the record is the "Sales Invoice Number" which was created as an Identity_Spec with an increment of one. It was created using SSMS. It is set as the Primary Key and is Unique. It is a bigint data type.
I have discovered in Microsoft documentation that the identity increment might get lost. (See the quote copied form the help file.)
"The identity property on a column does not guarantee the following:
Uniqueness of the value – Uniqueness must be enforced by using a
PRIMARY KEY or UNIQUE constraint or
UNIQUE index.
Consecutive values within a transaction – A transaction inserting multiple rows is not guaranteed to get consecutive values for the rows because other concurrent inserts might occur on the table. If values must be consecutive then the transaction
should use an exclusive lock on the table or use the SERIALIZABLE isolation level.
Consecutive values after server restart or other failures –SQL Server might cache identity values for performance reasons and some of the assigned values can be lost during a database failure or server restart. This can result in gaps in the
identity value upon insert. If gaps are not acceptable then the application should use its own mechanism to generate key values. Using a
sequence generator
with the NOCACHE
option can limit the gaps to transactions that are never committed.
Reuse of values – For a given identity property
with specific seed/increment, the identity values are not reused by the engine. If a particular insert statement fails or if the insert statement is rolled back then the consumed identity values are lost and will not be generated again. This can result
in gaps when the subsequent identity values are generated."
There is no issue with consecutive values within a transaction, although each invoice is written out in a transaction, as it is paired with Sales Line detail records. They are linked using the Sales Invoice Number.
The issue comes in with the line " udtProps.InvoiceNumber = .Fields("Invoice Number")" as this is the property that returns the sales invoice number to the app that is used to actually print the invoice.
My problem is with the 3rd bullet point from the help file. "Consecutive values after server restart or other failures ", particularly the "Other Failures" as they are not defined.
I have pasted the sub from the class that actually persists the record, below. It includes the Error handler routine. Ia particularly concerned that the case of the Database record lock conflict error might be one of the "Other Failures" described
in the help file above. In at least One occasion, the invoice printed with an invoice number of 690172, but was written to the database with an invoice number of 690175.
If anybody has an in depth understanding of when the identity spec invoice number is set, returned and incremented, please help. Is it the first time the update is tried, or when the update command completes successfully?

What OS do you use?
There was an issue in the past with XP..
ADO Recordset AddNew/Update Identity Problem.
So run
SQL Profiler to check what's going on.

Does the LAN port really work for wired internet?

Ok. So I've seen this question asked, but nobody ever seems to come back and say "great, it worked!". If I have my AEBS connected to my DSL modem via the WAN port, Set up with my PPPOE info and set to distribute IP addressess and WDS on, can it also distribute to my desktop via the LAN port. I've seen many yeses, but I can't get it to work. The iMac also has an Airport card, and both it and my MAcBook can get to the internet fine. Also, if I set up the iMac for ethernet and connect it directly to the DSL modem (with the PPOE info in the iMac), it can also connect no problem. However, if I set the iMac up for ethernet and to get it's info via DHCP, and connect it to the AEBS LAN port, it doesn't even show an ethernet cable is connected. This leads me to believe that the LAN port is disabled in whatever config I have going with the AEBS. Any help would be great. Thanks.

FYI, after further testing, it appears my port is loose? If I hold the cable and press firmly into the LAN port, I get a connection. if I let go of the cable, I lose it. So, if I bend the cable under the unit and scotch tape it in place... no problem. It is a refurb unit. Oh well.

Does "erase when connecting" really work?
