Help - I've Just about had it with this INSTALL!!!

Please help. I've been trying to install Oracle Personal 9i on Windows 98 and I can't even get the OUI to run.
No I don't have a Pentium 4. I'm running on an AMD Duron.
I've tried all the tricks that I've read in this forum and elsewhere such as changing the name of the .dll file, or changing the oraparam file with -nojit or giving the absoulte locations of JRE and Source in that same file.
Nothing works.
The latest error message I get is that it "could not initialize the Java Virtual Machine".
I am about to give up on Oracle, but if anyone can give me that one tip that will at least get my OUI to start I will personally declare you a genius.

HI ~
I'm trying to get WinXP Pro going with Oracle9i and it has been a total hassle. The OUI blows up with the common JRE error I've seen posted again and again. Just out of frustration I sent a query to Oracle tech support on this, as WinXP is a pretty stable O/S and a major release, but as you might guess I got the standard / canned reply. Seems sad that they won't even help folks get their product installed, but clearly they care mostly about $$$...

I've just about had it with Lion

I've just about had it with Lion. I am suffering such severe performance problems with it on my iMac that I'm seriously considering either downgrading to Snow Leopard or running Windows 7 in Boot Camp on the box.
My iMac is a 2.66 GHz iMac Core 2 Duo with 4GB of RAM, which is a decent specification. I am running the latest, fully patched 10.7.2 version of OS X and the performance is absolutely terrible. Pretty much every operation of any significance that I perform results in the spinning beach-ball. Even just switching between things like Firefox and Finder causes major delays. I have searched high and low on these forums and tried everything, including repairing permissions, etc. and the problem is still the same.
The problem I think is related to I/O. All methods of access to the disk is incredibly slow, including USB file transfer, network file transfer, and even moving a file from one part of the disk to another part of the same disk. The problem is there in Finder and also when doing a file copy using the command line. I had no such problems with Snow Leopard on the same computer but as soon as I put Lion on there, I lost the entire performance of the machine. In desperation, I even completely re-formatted my disk and reinstalled Lion and as soon as I started it up, with the factory fresh OS, I had performance issues right from the start.
The only conclusion I can come to is that Lion does not work well on some older Macs. I had no idea why, but I know that I am not alone.
If anyone has any suggestions, I am more than happy to hear them to prevent me from having to downgrade the box, but unless I can fix this then that will have to happen.
Thanks,
Ian.

This 17" Early 2011 MacBook Pro with the fast and blessed Snow Leopard will be my last Mac and this is coming from a Mac user from day one, even before with the Apple IIe.
I don't like Lion because of the direction Apple is taking OS X and it's UI changes, Internet installs etc.
Apple needs to learn what happened to Ubuntu when it mandated Unity UI and didn't give Linux users choice like they once had, they all flocked to Linux Mint instead.

A lot of people don't know but EFI (the firmware in Mac's) was designed by Intel for the chief purpose of Digital Rights Management, basically standing between the operating system and the hardware and watching everything going on, reporting it over the Internet, stoping the OS calls to the hardware to play back media etc.
http://www.uefi.org/about/
It's not like the old firmware of old, it's really a whole operating system unto itself. Programs can be installed in EFI, in fact I do so with rEFIt, which allows my Mac's to triple and quad boot other operating systems. (note, won't work reliably with Lion only Snow Leopard, requires updating)
http://refit.sourceforge.net/
Intel also designed Thunderbolt, so I'm suspectign there is some sort of DRM scheme going on with Thunderbolt monitors.
If Apple mandated DRM checking in Lion, naturally if you've got EFI taking up more processor cycles, that's going to slow your machine down.
Also you might not know this, but for Early 2011 Mac's when Apple rolled out Lion, there was a series of Mac bricking EFI firmware updates. I had a bad suspicion and didn't apply the updates, becaue I frankly don't need Lion internet Recovery. So I'm suspecting there is a WHOLE lot of monkey business going on in EFI recently as Apple exerts more control in this area.
The only conclusion I can come to is that Lion does not work well on some older Macs. I had no idea why, but I know that I am not alone.
Lion added more bloat that makes older hardware slower, it's been tested Lion is slower than Snow Leopard. It's how Apple gets you to upgrade hardware, by bloating down the OS and programs.
I've tried Lion on a 15" Intel Core 2 Duo MBP and reverted it back to Snow Leopard. Slow downs, video issues etc.
I don't recommend installing Lion other than on Early 2011 Mac's and later.
If anyone has any suggestions, I am more than happy to hear them to prevent me from having to downgrade the box, but unless I can fix this then that will have to happen.
You did a fresh install, that would have cured any performance issues with defragmentation or bad install.
You can't upgrade your hard drive in iMac's to 7,200 RPM, because Apple has placed proprietary something on it for heat monitoring, so your screwed there for buying a closed box.
So yes, upgrade to 10.6.8 and remain there on that machine, there is nothing you can really do.
Welcome to the crowd.

Just about had it with N97 GPS

I've tried just about everything to get the GPS on my phone working, without success. Even had my phone in repair for 3 weeks, it worked after that. Using 'location' I could get a fix quite fast and pretty precise. But when I restored the data from my backup it stopped working again. After that I tried a hard reset, afterwards restoring my data by synching with Ovi Suite, it worked again. And after the update to Maps 3.03, it was gone AGAIN. Now I've ben resetting it as if I have nothing better to do but nothing gets it working again... I have had it with this phone's GPS, it's clear that it's a pure software fault... Any possible ideas on a fix?

I have to agree completely.!
I have hard and soft reset my N97 over 10 times in the last 6 months trying to get GPS Navigation to work.
Ever since the update for Free Maps from Nokia the GPS just refuses to work, whereas before it worked like a dream.
I have emailed and taken it to the Service Centre and the get it to work without any updates or free maps and then give it back. Obviously as soon as the phone tries to update or receive Free Maps from Nokia the GPS stops again.
I had just become used to using my N97 for GPS in the car and was even recommending it to friends as a better option than having to buy a separate GPS. Now its just turned in to a huge headache that Nokia wants nothing to do with. I would welcome any Nokia contact about this, but i wont hold my breath.
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU NOKIA ?

Just about had it with iphone bashers ~vent~

I just wanted to vent a little bit because i am, amongst most of you all here... sorta obsessed with this phone/brand otherwise i wouldn't be here...i wanted to say that i am sick of typing in google: verizon iphone and reading posts with tons of iphone bashers! Look i am in a university studying computer science / engineering and it doesn't take a friggen genis to realize that if it wasn't for apple and their "Innovative" ideas + success then your stupid **bleep** droids wouldn't have came along. I am so sick of hearing the bull**bleep** that apple is a "closed" os? look at your **bleep**! You gotta charge ur phone 3 times a day ( at least from my experience i know that is true on the incredible) and kill your friggen apps multiple times a day just to preserve it ? annoying much? oh and let verizon load your phone up with crapware while your at it. Believe me, i can find ways around apples closed system such as other people have done so as well. So take your droid and the crappy flakey unperfected os elsewhere and get off of apples success!
okay ~breathes~
ahh almost time!!!

A sales and marketing professor once said something very accurate about Apple - "Apple's innovation lies not within its technology, but the presentation and simplicity of its technology"
Im sorry to burst your bubble, but Apple is in no way a revolutionary brand as far as technology goes. The technology they use has been around for years in PCs. The LG Prada beat the Iphone as far as touch screen phones go.
But Apple is a marketing genius because of the presentation of their product, and the simplicity of it

Just about had it with Apple - they really don't care!

I’ve got to say that I’m just about finished with Apple! For nearly two weeks now it has been virtually impossible for me to download apps onto my iPad 2 or iPhone 4S. The apps start downloading, get part way then stop and start downloading again. Eventually I get a message saying the app cannot be downloaded at the moment. On the very rare occasion (only 2 apps ou tof an attempted 12) when I can get an app to install, and iTunes tries to download it onto my computer, the same happens and I get an err 8008. I tried raising a support ticket with Apple, only for some support guy to not bother reading my message properly and ignore the fact that this is happening on 3 differen tdevices. I have spent over £1,200 pounds at the Apple store in less than amonth. The iPad and iPhone are being returned this week for a full refund – I’m getting Android devices! Apple don’t care as long as they’re getting the cash!

I've just about had it with Failed Downloads.

This is a normal thing when it comes to Large File Downloads, and it needs to be addressed.
I can understand the download being stopped if there is some sort of connection error, or my computer goes to sleep...
But for the LOVE of me, I can't effing understand why I can't RESUME MY DOWNLOAD from WHERE IT WAS STOPPED!!!!!
Does Apple do this to **** people off?? Because it's surely working. I hate to rant, but I waited **** near 4 hours for this thing to complete.
Step away for a snack, come back, download has suddenly stopped...
I click the resume option, multiple times, no luck.
What is the **** point in even having a resume button if it's not going to do anything?
I've already started to re-download it, probably won't finish until it's time for me to start my Day anyway, but I want answers on how to fix this and never have it happen again. This is literally the ONLY thing killing my love for Mac Products. It's not the first time, but I hope it'll be the last.

You're not helping. Thanks anyway.
I've never had this particular issue with any Windows product.
If I downloaded something, and it was stopped, or I paused it half-way through, it was possible to RESUME from where it left off. PERIOD, so long as I have an internet connection.
I've never dealt with a browser that ASSUMES something is resumable or not. And to be completely honest, this has only been happening since I started using Safari... Not firefox, not Chrome, not even Torch. This is a Safari issue. So, someone with any other valuable information that they can pass, I'm all ears. If not, just don't respond, because it isn't helping.

I've just about had it with Dock items disappearing...

I'm getting more than a little ****** at icons disappearing from the Dock. I realize that I must be accidently dragging them off the dock, but is there ANY way to LOCK icons on the dock. A few minutes ago my "Mail" icon disappeard. I was able to make an alias and put it back in the dock, but I'm getting tired of wasting my time LOOKING for an icon when I'm not even sure of the name and then putting it back on the dock.
There, I've posted my rant for the day.

Baby Boomer (USofA) wrote:
You don't have to make an alias. Just go into the Application folder & drag the Mail icon onto the dock. A Mail icon will appear.
As for not knowing the names of the icons on your dock, if you fan out the dock, the names of the icons appear at the top.
I would just make note of what you have in your dock, write them down & keep it near your computer or take a screen shot of the dock & place the pic in your HD for safe keeping.
Re dragging, maybe the "mail" icon is different. In the past when other icons disappeared from my dock, if I when into Applications and dragged them to the dock, the Icon in question also stayed in the Applications folder. When the "mail" icon is dragged, it disappears from the folder. I'm not sure if it would reappear in the applications folder if it was then accidently dragged off the dock. Thats why I went with an alias.
In regards to making a list of all applications on the dock, that's a good idea in case one disappears AND the name of the programs is not clear.

About had it with this nano ipod

Some months ago, I bought two ipod nanos for myself and my wife. Some time after, my wife's started to skip songs that I'd downloaded from iTunes while playing songs I'd imported from disks. I reset it, I reloaded software, I reloaded songs, I created a separate library for my wife, etc. After each "fix", it works for awhile and then starts doing the same thing all over again. I'm about ready to invoke the "lemon law" on this thing. My ipod does not have this problem. I've read some of the email threads that espouse solutions such as those above, but nothing seems to work for any length of time.
What a piece of ...

Did you Restore it in iTunes?
Also, try this: in iTunes go to the Store Menu and Deauthorize the computer. Now play one of the songs (in iTunes) that is skipping on her Nano and when prompted enter your Apple ID and password, then Resync her Nano.
If this doesn't work hers may have a hardware problem, it happens. If it is under warranty have it serviced.

So, I have just about had it. For nine days now, I have valiantly tried to move my library to an external drive. At first, I attempted to move it to my 2TB Time capsule, iTunes didn't like its new home though and moved home without telling me.

So, I have just about had it. For nine days now, I have valiantly tried to move my library to an external drive. At first, I attempted to move it to my 2TB Time capsule. iTunes didn't like its new home though and moved home without telling me. So then there were two libraries. I meshed them back together reluctantly and iTunes in a silent revolt, absolutely refused to use its own 'Keep Library Organized' criteria and may as well have thrown my music against the wall. Seriously, my 5 year old nephew has his computer files better managed. Then I bought a 3TB Time Capsule and you may ask yourself why??? Well, iTunes doubled in size- although when I ran apps that are designed to find duplicate iTunes files, it deleted the music I actually bought from iTunes. So then I watched as iTunes got it back. How you ask; I run a MacBook Air, iMac and Mac mini in my house - as soon as one powered up it hit the net like a sailor on leave and re-downloaded it all without abandon. I tried to keep the libraries separate, no success there. I tried to keep them unified; iTunes response was to ask me if I wanted to join iTunes Match every time I logged on to my computer and on any computer - my iTunes match song number has been as high as 24,367 and as low as 11,112. And I can't simply refuse iTunes. No one refuses iTunes. Refusal to allow iTunes Match to run through all 24000 songs again was to revoke my rights to the songs that were once part of my library. If I took a long time to decide or was visibly impatient while iTunes did its little 3 hour scan it would arbitrarily decide that music I bought from iTunes was ineligible for iTunes Match. How could that possibly be??? I am missing music, or at least iTunes tells me so by showing me that lovely exclamation point. I have tried backing up my computer to do a full system restore and start all over. Time Capsule claims I have 979 GB of data and takes its sweet time to even back up one gig (about 18 minutes) even though I can transfer files to my Time Capsule at about 1 GB every 40 seconds. I guess though performing back-ups are somewhat like government jobs; it will get done, when it gets done. The back up requirement of 979 GB is surprising though, my Mac claims that I currently occupy just about 25% of my 2TB drive. The discrepancy, who knows, but I think the solution lies somewhere in iTunes. But maybe iPhoto. But that is for another time.

After admittedly only a quick read the one thing you don't say is how you are trying to make this move. Most people with moving library issues do it the wrong way. Plenty of web sites tell you how to do it the wrong way.
If the iTunes application is started before the drive with the library is fully mounted and awake iTunes will revert back to the internal drive.

Oh no! Lets ensure that you are connected. Have you tried to reset the Network Extender? Are other devices able to connect to the Extender? Is your Internet service up and running?

Mavericks; is Apple never going to do something about its many problems? I've about had it with Mac.

Mavericks:
Is Apple never going to do something about Mavericks many problems? I've about had it with Mac and when today's Mavericks update appeared, I declined.
I updated to Mavericks 6 months ago on my new Macbook Pro and have had nothing but trouble ever since -- despite numerous trips to the Genius Bar. They all act as though It's only my machine yet I'm reading literally hundreds of similar complaints on the Internet. To start:
1) My machine now "runs" very slow (as in 1980).
2) Search and Spotlight yield jumbled information.
3) MAIL and CCONTACTS are near useless with a spinning beachball the norm.
My Apple store had my machine for 5 days with no loaner! They did a manual rebuild and shrugged their sholders when it still didn't work after all that.
I have the distinct impression that Time Machine is at the bottom of some of my problems. I've used it to migrate data from my last three machines and I'm seeing some odd stuff from my other machines. In particular, I used an exact Macbook Pro loaned by a client after my last Mac crashed (I was backed up) and I'm seeing their grayed out login ID autoentered when I try to update Imovie and so I cannot log into my apple account.
I've used Mac since 1995 when the first SE came out and I'm very tech oriented. I can only wonder how frustrated the lay used might be. Any thoughts out there?

I've tried reseting my sync accounts the way all of the help articles say, but my computer and two android devices just will not sync with this new FF Sync version.
I've tried unregistering the device sync accounts, removing the accounts, reinstalling FF on all devices, etc.
Nothing works. Please help.

Hi mongoose00318,
On the android devices in the Account section of your OS settings, please make sure that the account is not listed under "Firefox Sync (deprecated)" this is the old sync. Firefox for Android may need to be reinstalled and the Firefox Sync (depricated) account removed from the device.
NOTE: DO NOT do this if there is data on the devices that have not obviously synced yet. An alternative is to visit accounts.firefox.com to see if you are logged into the device on the new sync sign in page.
Does this help?
