Finally a solution!

Hello everyone,
Many of you have heard of my issue that first began when I personally screwed up my Superdrive and then a snowball of issues cropped up while in repair; bad RAM, bad Logic board, etc. Well, after about nearly a month of waiting and constant stringing along, a representative from Apple finally brought up a logical solution.
After eight days past the supposed 10 business days (being with Apple for a total of 26 days), one of the representatives finally decided that it would be much easier for me to just get an identical, customized replacement. I had been suggested by two reps previously that some appeasement should be awarded to my situation. While I was hoping to get my original computer fixed (now I have to download everything again and luckily I was able to back up the important files on my iPod) with some extras like another GB of RAM or something, I am extremely happy to finally have the issue solved.

Thanks, I just want it to be known that I loved my MBP (for the week I had it lol) and I have no qualms against Apple. Having said that, I wish they would have been a little faster on the repair and decision side of things, especially when I spent $2600 on a laptop.

Finally a solution to all your firewall problems

I finally have answer to all of you who are seeking this
question.
When the Flash Player encounters the connect() method, it
attempts to connect to your FCS following a very specific pattern.
It first attmpts to connect over port 1935, then port 433, then
port 80 and then it automatically attempts to tunnel through by
sending rtmp data over http also called RTMPT it turns out the
automatic sequence of attempts is fine for many situations however
you may find some users can't make a connection (well , the
NetConnection can't) because their firewall blocks data from
traveling through port 1935. If those users can connect to any
website surely they can use port 80 .And even if their setup blocks
rtmp surely they can use RTMPT over port 80 because its really just
plain http ...you might think the final attempt by flash player
RTMPT on port 80 to be failsafe however the problem is that if you
are running your webserver on the same machine as FMS then they
can't both use port 80 at the same time....a perfectly legitimate
solution is to use to computers one for the webserver and one for
FMS ......two computers probably means you need to specify the
domain in your rtmp (rtmp://mydomain.com/video).
To force the flash player to try to connect through a
specific port other than the defaults as specified above.....write
rtmp as ....my_nc.connect("rtmp::8500/mydomain.com/video);

changing my post back to orginal ...........open port 433 and
1935 if that doesn't work try one of the other solutions.

Finally a SOLUTION for the black-screen problem!

It took me almost a MONTH to find a solution to this wide-spread problem - and I had to do it by myself.
I've got a Qosmio x300 (about 18 months old) and started having the black screen / lock-down problem about 6 months ago but it was sporadic. When it started getting worse, I took it in for repair, made sure it was cleaned religiously, had both a cooling pad and household fan directed at it to eliminate any possible overheating issue, made sure all of the *Toshiba* drivers were up to date according to their site, etc... The problem kept getting worse - to the point where I couldn't even open a browser without the dumb thing crashing. VERY frustrating to say the least.
Finally I gave up - I removed the nVidia driver that ran the GeForce 9700M GTS video card and used the standard VGA driver. No more lock downs, but it limited what I could do because the on-board memory wasn't being utilized. I re-installed the *Toshiba* drivers for the card and presto - lock-downs again.
Fed up, I went directly to the nVidia download page and chose to have it automatically detect my card. Now, granted, it says to try to use the OEM versions of graphics, but Toshiba's drivers are FLAWED! I installed the driver suggested directly from nVidia, and what do you know? Full use of the card again and not a single crash!
I hope all of my frustration, and the solution that resulted from it, can help someone else not have to waste time, money, and hair on their heads as it did with me. =) The sad part about it all - this is a TOSHIBA flaw that affects a wide range of systems and models - and nothing has or is being done about it.
Good luck! =)

Which version of the nVidia driver did you use?

Can't send emails using .mac accounts? Finally the solution!!! Nice & Easy!

Found this after searching these discussions for over an hour, and it really works, but you MUST create a new account, don't edit your existing one. Very quick & easy!!! Here you go, courtesy of Guillermo Toro-Lira:
OK guys, problem solved, at least for those with a dotMac account like me.
You have to create a new MobileMe account in your iPhone using your new MobileMe email address ( [email protected] instead of [email protected] ).
Select Add Account... on Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Then MobileMe, enter your name, MobileMe address, password and description and select Save. The system will validate your account first. Then go back to Accounts, select your dotMac account and select delete. Your new mails, contacts, calendars will be sync'd by your new MobileMe account.
It looks like iPhone classic 2.0 requires your new MobileMe address ([email protected]) to send emails.

I accessed my .Mac account with the iPhone's mail client with my first generation iPhone for over a year including for a while after the change to MM before I purchased my iPhone 3G.
The first generation iPhone and the iPhone 3G are capable of running the same firmware so there is no difference between the two in this regard. To say the first generation iPhone requires creating and accessing the @Me account instead of the @Mac account is incorrect.
If this is true with many, how come not a single person has chimed in with this thread saying the same thing?

Is there a solution to the 'iPod Service failed to start' install problem?

Like a lot of people, I have this problem that when I try to install iTunes 7 on Windows I get this error at the end:
Service 'iPod Service' (iPod Service) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
I tried various methods to solve this and none of them worked.
Is there finally a solution from Apple regarding this issue?
I am about to purchase an iPod Classic and this is a major drawback for me.

Methods that I already tried (that I can remember):
1. Uninstall iTunes + QuickTime and delete everything from the hard drive that's related to apple, including the registry, used CCleaner and install iTunes 7.5 - didn't work.
2. run msconfig, disable all services (with MS services hidden) and startup apps, restarting and trying to install it again - didn't work.
3. Trying to start the service manually with services.msc during the installation when the error appears - gives me an error.
I did manage to install iTunes 7.0.2 (from OldVersion.com) and I tried to install iTunes 7.5 on top of it with the same results.

Random crashing computer SOLUTION

Finally a solution to everyone with a randomly crashing computer. A tech needed >4 days to tell us that the LOGIC BOARD needs to be replaced.
I hope you bought Apple Care . . . we were told it will cost $1500. On a new computer, that has had this issue since day one, but nobody could ever solve it.
After numerous trips to tech people, only to be told "It's fine" when it never was - while we had Apple coverage. We aren't feeling a 100% confident with this diagnosis - when surprise, surprise we no longer have coverage.
Buying a new computer actually seems like a more cost effective and reliable alternative. How sad. I remember when Apple was a good product. Now all I see are flashbacks to my days with my "Dell from ****!"

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
I agree with CCRDVR. An Apple product specialist once told me that if the problem originally occurred during the warranty period and was not fixed, that Apple would honor the warranty until it was fixed, even if the warranty had lapsed in the meantime. I hope you have a paper trail of attempting to get this problem fixed, as that would clearly document it. But even if you don't, put together a summary of your attempts to have this problem solved and call Apple and ask to speak to Apple Customer Relations. They are an upper tier whose mission is to solve problems and have happy Apple customers. Always be very nice and polite and reasonable, and explain all that you did trying to get this problem solved while under warranty. There is a very good chance that you will get some satisfaction.
Good luck!

Wireless Bridge Solution

Hello,
I am looking for a wireless Bridge Solution the distance between 2 buildings is 200 Metre approx and the height of the buildings are 24 metres. The desired bandwidth is 11 Mbps and above.
Please help me in finalizing the solution. I am looking for a cheap solution other than 1300, 1400 or 1500 solution.
Regards..

You can always use a 1242 in bridge mode with external antennas. You will need a NEMA heated/cooled enclosure for the ap unless that will be mounted indoors, lightning arrestor and LMR cable to extend the antenna if required and antenna mounting hardware. But with most systems, you will need line of site, so hopefully you have this. Antenna wise, you can go with a yagi at both ends.

All solutions for Getting a client Remote ip address.

Hello experts! I want to create a unified theme for the problem of obtaining ip address of the client computer. And for Remote ip address. Since a lot of questions and answers is less.
My problem:
I nees get the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the client or last proxy that sent the request.
First, the idea was to use Webutil. Function webutil_clientinfo.get_ip_address. But it is processed on the client and returns the address of the network card of the client. Right? Under this Re: webutil: get_ip_address It is not the remote address.
Next, the proposal to use 'sys_context('USERENV','IP_ADDRESS')'. It also does not give satisfactory results. Returns the address of the computer where you installed the database.
Next, use javaBean ClientInfo.http://forms.pjc.bean.over-blog.com/article-15985856.html - this. Again, not that. It works differently. Sometimes it returns 127.0.0.1. Sometimes it returns the address in local net (As webutil). And by the way the code for the address there looks like: "InetAddress.getLocalHost().GetHostAddress();" - Or I do not understand or he should not return the Remote address of last proxy.
Next, "servlet" with function "reqest.getRemoteAddr()". I found many examples of code for use java-servlet. For example it
http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/tech/java/codesnippet/servlets/servletclientinfo/ReadServletClientInfo.html
Or this
http://www.apl.jhu.edu/~hall/java/Servlet-Tutorial/Servlet-Tutorial-CGI-Variables.html
I was able to program it in JPS+HTML and got what I wanted. But I have not figured out how to use the servlet in FORMS! :( And could not find a description of how to use it as well with Foms. Unfortunately I do not know very well java.
And the final proposed solution: is a "owa_util.get_cgi_env ('REMOTE_ADDR');"
It seems to be returning something that is necessary. But there was a problem: I wrote this in Forms. The form was compiled. But shows error "ORA-06502" when run form on brouser. I created a procedure on the server, which added a line with owa_util and call her from Forms (when run form on brouser) again and see the error. At this time "ORA-04067". This error says that there is no owa_util.
I'm confused :)
Help me and others to understand how to get the remote ip address please. :)
1) If I use javaBean, then whether I understood that "InetAddress.getLocalHost().GetHostAddress();" not return the Remote address of last proxy? Or maybe there are other features that I do not know?
Or
2) Is it possible to use a servlet with Forms? And if so, how?
Or
3) How do I add owa_util? I understand that it is not. Or am I not right?

IPhone 5 battery drain solution

So I have had my iPhone 5 for less than a week and updated to 6.1.4 and had very bad battery drain. After reading a ton for battery saving tips. I was frustrated, cause what's the point in sacrificing the iPhone 5's functionality cause of an Iso issue. So I finally found solution. Go to Settings> Privacy> Local Services> System Services and turn off Diagnostic & Usage, Genius for Apps, and Location based iAds. In doing this I noticed battery life comparable to my iPhone 4. Hope this helps

Solution For Accessing Verizon E-Mail Overseas & From Non-Verizon ISPs

After suffering like many of you, and not being able to access Verizon e-mail from Thunderbird (also relevant to any of you that use Outlook or other non-web based mail programs) finally got solution very quickly once a good Verizon USA based Tech focused on my problem, issued Verizon Repair Ticket number and problem was solved from Verizon's end in less than 1 hour.
So, the solution was simple. I provided the IP Address where I am currently overseas. Verizon then "white-listed" this IP address, where before it was "black-listed". Here are some practical suggestions if you're having similar problems.
1. If you reach Verizon Tech Support in any country outside USA ask to be transferred to a USA Tech. Initially, I was connected to multiple techs in Mexico that said that a Verizon Repair Ticket could not be issued for this problem. That statement is not true; Repair Tickets can and were issued for this problem. Insist that a Repair Ticket be issued for your problem. Don't accept anything less!
2. Verizon techs in Mexico admitted that they don't have access to same level of information that USA techs do. Mexico said there was no record of this collective problem that many of us have experienced since mid-September. I told them to have a look at Verizon e-mail forums!
3. No one outside of Verizon can solve this problem as the problem exists on Verizon's mail servers.
4. Problem first started on or about September 17, 2014.
5. When you deal with Verizon Tech Support in the USA be prepared to give them the IP address where your computer is connected where you currently can't retrieve e-mail. It is easy to get your IP Address, just Google "what is my IP address" and you'll get a series of numbers, something like 123.45.678.901. Give this to the tech so that IP address can be white-listed.
6. As a practical matter if you're switching locations where you access e-mail, you may have to go through this procedure for each location where you want to get e-mail. Just depends on whether that location is black listed or white listed. This suggestion may not be practical if you're traveling to multiple locations overseas and are not in any one location for more than a couple of days.
As an aside, I think it is unconscionable that Verizon doesn't post a summary of this problem and the solution(s) for it. Hopefully this posting will save you from making multiple 1+ hour phone calls to Verizon as I've done in the last 3+ weeks.
Cheers!

Dear Wayward American,
Thanks for your optimistic post. But for the average overseas traveler who is on business or on a touring vacation and is not at one place for more than a day or two, your comment "This suggestion may not be practical if you're traveling to multiple locations overseas and are not in any one location for more than a couple of days." renders this "solution" by Verizon quite useless.
Many overseas hotels have pretty dodgy e-mail systems anyway and may well give you a different IP address every 24 hours!

Thanks to 'B Noir'...i have a solution!

Thank to 'b noir' i have finally founda solution to the extremeely annoying error in itunes that says "no disc burner or software was found". B Noir told me to chekc out Gear Software who makes drivers for Itunes. They havea beta version of a driver for AMD64 (which i am using with win x64). now I can Burn...this is great...The gear software link is below...Enjoy!
http://www.gearsoftware.com/support/
Sun ultra 20 Windows XP x64 bit

i still get "this software can not install on x64 bit systems' when trying to install itunes. i installed the gearsec drivers, so i'm wondering ... is there something else i need to do to run itunes on x64?

BI Publisher Charts not getting displayed in concurrent program output

Hi,
I am using BI Publisher version 11.1.1.3.0 on Windows 7 with word 2007. After creating the Bar chart in RTF template of BI publisher when I load sample XML data and check it in "Preview" is displays the output correctly.
My requirement is to print the charts in concurrent program's output on EBS version 12.1.1. (preferably HTML but PDF will also do) However when I run the concurrent program which processes the data definition and the RTF template registered for this report, the output is just an image of the chart. The XML output generated by the program is not reflected in the chart display at all. (I have verified that XML is generated properly)
Can someone please let me know if there is some setup required to make the charts display properly in concurrent program output?
I have also tried BI publisher version 10.1.3.2.1 for this. With this the concurrent program output is just blank. Not even an image is displayed.
p.s. The program uses standard executable XDODTEXE (which is normally used to run BI publisher reports)
Thanks,
Archana

Hi,
I have finally found solution to this issue....
Two setups are required to display the charts in the concurrent program's PDF output:
1. We need to edit the variables CLASSPATH and AF_CLASSPATH. These variables should have the complete path added for the xdoparser.zip file on the server.
2. The DISPLAY variable should be correctly setup to direct the server output.
Also as per my findings so far, the BI (XML) publisher version 11.1.1.3.0 (or any 11g) does not work with EBS (at least for charts). We need to use BI publisher version which is XML 5.6.3 compatible for EBS. This version is 10.1.3.2.1. (patch 12395372) Now this 10g version does not work on Windows 7 so you need to use Windows XP!
With this... finally... your charts should be getting displayed in EBS output...
Cheers!! :-)

Source code for "Creating an Extended Web Dynpro Application"?

Hello!
I'm a rookie in the field of SAP Netweaver and I'm justing getting started with some tutorials. My problems with "Creating an Extended Web Dynpro Application" are to massive to be posted on this forum in this stage. What I want to have some help with is to find the source code for that tutorial so I can get som guidence from there.
Following text is cut out of this page:

Creating an Extended Web Dynpro Application
You can download the Web Dynpro project for the current tutorial from the Software Developer Network SDN (http://sdn.sap.com -> Web Application Server -> Web Dynpro -> Sample Applications and Tutorials) in two versions: one skeleton version you can use for exercises and one final version (solution) for an immediate build, deployment and run on the Java engine of the SAP Web Application Server.
How hard I try I can't find the specific source code on sdn.sap.com
Does anyone have a clue where it is?

Hi!
I did what you said but I seem to miss the IDE folder. This is what it looks in my Explorer
C: > Program Files > SAP > IDE > CE > eclipse > (no folder called "examples")
I also did a search in this eclipse folder for "examples" but I did'nt find the example I'm looking for
I am running a newer version of NWDS:
SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio
SAP NetWeaver 7.1 Composition Environment SP03 PAT0000
Maybe that's why things don't look the same?

Finally a solution!
