Help needed to Replace existing routers due to connection drop with Extreme

I currently have an old linksys router connected to my cable modem in the basement. I then have a second router connected via ethernet to the first router located upstairs since most of my computers are upstairs. I am having alot of connection drops with most of the computers. ONe of the computers hardly even connects to the network. Almost all of my computers are macbook pros/macbooks/imac except for 1 or 2 pcs. I would like to start fresh with the airport extreme/express. Should I set it up similar in that I have an airport extreme base station connected downstairs to the modem and then have a second extreme/express upstairs via the ethernet connection. I do have a printer upstairs as well that most of the computers use that is connected wirelessly.
Any other tips?

No,
Express has only one ethernet port which acts either as WAN input if plugged into a modem or as LAN output, if plugged into an end device (PC, Printer), so it cannot be used for input and output at the same time. I'd suggest you do this,
1/
- If modem must stay in the basement and cannot be moved upstairs
- Have modem in basement
- Run an ethernet cable from the modem to your Extreme's WAN port upstairs
- Have Express in the basement and connect it wirelessly
let it join your Extreme's network over wifi, if there is enough signal in the basement
- If there is no signal in the basement from upstairs' Extreme and Express finds
nothing or signal is unreliable, then you need to run an ethernet cable
from Extreme's LAN port (it has 3 in the back) and run it downstairs
and plug into your Express.
2/
- move the modem upstairs and keep the setup same as in 1/
- no difference, you still have to run the coax cable from basement,
so you drill no matter what
3/
- keep modem downstairs
- keep extreme downstairs connected to modem
- keep express upstairs and join it wirelessly to your Extreme's network
- plus side is - there would be no cables running upstairs
- downsides of this setup are:
you'll have router with only one ethernet port upstairs - so if you have"
multiple desktops, you will have to rely on wifi
Extreme's signal is stronger than Express's - I'd put it into a place where
my family spends most of the time
It all depends on your house setup, whether you have desktops or laptops only, ...
As a preference, I like to keep Extreme close to my main computer as I connect to it via ethernet rather than wifi (much better speed). My wifi is only for laptops and iPods.
Also, seing the Extreme's status light tells me what is going on without running to a basement when internet starts acting up.
Rule of thumb - if you can drill, then drill and take advantage of the gigabit speed as opposed to wifi's 100megabit or whatever your signal lets you get up to. This is very noticeable when streaming movies via Netflix, AirPlay etc...
If drilling is too much hassle, you live in an apartment unit or it's a transitory place for you, just use Wifi. If you are planning on living there for a while, cables will make you happier than wifi - no interference to worry about and better speed
It's up to you.
My apple TV is also connected to my Extreme via cable - speed is incredible. Wifi used to choke up every now and then.

I need to replace the HD on a p7-1206 with a SSD

I need to replace the 2TB system hard drive in a Pavilion p7-1206 with a 120GB SSD. What is the best procedure for transferring the Win 7 OS to the much smaller SSD? I created the recovery disc set. After starting the Recovery Discs to install the OS on the SSD an error message said that SSD capacity was less than the original disc and stopped the install process. Do I need a procedure that will reproduce all 4 partitions on the SSD in working order or can some partitions be ignored?
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your kind reply Quicktime Kirk! Thanks in advance to anyone who replies to this as well. I have heard that what I need is an older Quicktime Version that allows for saving files, etc. But apple does not support it & I should look elsewhere - hence my appeal on this forum. Also, for some reason, when I try to upgrade to Quicktime Pro my browser (both Safari & Firefox) quits as I am about to complete my purchase. In any event, the real question is this: would the Quicktime Pro upgrade be compatible with my current system?

Help needed using REPLACE function

Post Author: Domo
CA Forum: Formula
I need to swap out HTML special characters for their corresponding symbols.
The text field in question obviously contains many number codes, e.g. ' for an apostrophe (') and I would like to write a formula which replaces these for it's corresponding text character.
How would I go about this? I know how to use replace for single entries, e.g. Replace(, "'", "'"); but how do I apply this to multiple entries?
I have been using Crystal syntax for other formulas in the report (not sure if Basic and Crystal can be used?).

Post Author: Domo
CA Forum: Formula
Yeah it seems using a combination of Basic and Crystal syntax is possible in CR9.
I simply created the following formula in the end:
dim strInputstrInput = {TEXT.STRING}formula = replace(replace(replace(replace(replace(replace(replace(replace(replace(strinput, "<P>", "")," ", " "), "'", "'"), "</P>", ""), ":", ":"), "<BR>", CHR(13)), "<", "<"), ">", ">"), """, "''")

Time Capsule setup help needed - keeping my existing router

Hi,
I'm not especially technically gifted and am new to macs, so please be gentle.
I have an iMac and Macbook - both running the latest versions of Leopard (both up to date with all updated). I also have a wireless 'N' network via a Netgear Router/modem which is working fine.
After a bit of a data scare I have just bought a Time Capsule, but am having a heck of a time setting it up. The problem is I don't want it in the same room as my router and I don't want to replace my router (I live in an old house where the router has to be by the main phoneline in the kitchen).
I want the Time Capsule to sit in my home office next to my iMac and back that up with Time Machine (probably by ethernet cable to save my wireless bandwidth). I also want my macbook to back up wirelessly from wherever it is being used.
I have performed initial backups of both devices by ethernet, but now can't get the Time Capsule properly configured to join my existing wireless network. I don't want it to do anything fancy, just tag on to my existing network and be discoverable by the Macbook.
Is this possible? If so, how?

Yes, this seems to be true if you go to the "manual" set-up method. It failed for me too, several times, because of this. Finally, I even tried to set the TC to Create a network of the same specs of the network I wanted it to join. That failed, as expected, because it caused interference with the existing network on my old AirPort Extreme Base Station. My next try was to connect AirPort Utility to the TC (wirelessly from my MacBook) and retry using the easy set-up method. Lo and behold, it worked, and "Join Existing Network" now appears on its Manual Setup panel in AirPort Utility.
Looks like a little bug in AirPort Utility, having that pop-up menu sometimes missing that item.
So, long story short, my TC had this problem, and now it works.
I'd go through the setup from factory reset again to document it exactly, but the family is using it now, so the best I can do is describe it from memory. If the easy setup to Join Existing Network doesn't work for you, then re-do the setup to Create Network with the same specs as the one you want to join. Then when it comes up arguing with the other Base Station ("I am the master of this network." +"No, I am the master of this network!"+), go back to AirPort Utility and connect to the TC, going through the easy setup again, choosing Join instead. Then it might work.

Help Needed To Replace Hard Drive Satellite M45 S351

My hard drive died and can not be reformated. I just ordered a new one that should be arriving in a day or two. All I have is the Recovery DVD that came with the laptop. Can I insert it when I boot up with the new HD and reformat the computer? I do have a full version of windows98 and an upgrade version of XP. Any help for a novice would be apreciated.

After you replace the hard drive, you should be able to boot from the recovery disk and follow the prompts. It will install a binary image of the original drive with all of the correct drivers, utilities, etc. The system will look just as it did when you bought it.

SQL Help Needed: Split & Replace - Update Column Vale

Hello experts,
I would like to seek for your expertise on how to update part of the column's value for many rows.
Let say, I have a table (table1) with 2 columns (col1 & col2)
col1 col2
100 abc.123
200 abc.456
300 abc.789
and i need to update abc to efg for col2 to become like
col1 col2
100 efg.123
200 efg.456
300 efg.789
any clue on how should the query looks like ?
pls advise, many thanks.

For your given example, Michael's solution will work, however it may have problems if you had abc more than one time in a row.
For example, could you have a value like abc.123.abc in a row? If so, would you want to update it to efg.123.efg or to efg.123.abc?
If you want the firs, then Michael's is correct, if you want the second, then you would need something more like:
UPDATE table1
SET col2 = 'abc'||SUBSTR(col2, 4)
WHERE SUBSTR(col2, 1, 3) = 'abc'John

Help needed for MySQL 5 database DSN less connection with Oracle reports

Hi,
I am using Oracle Develper Suite and java (J2EE) for my application. I am using MySql 5 as database tool. I want to use Oracle reports of Oracle Develper suite. I have created some reports by first creating system DSN for MySql database and then connect Oracle reports to that DSN by "jdbc:odbc" connection string provided in Oracle Report developer wizard. This is working fine.
I want to generate reports without creating system DSN (DSN less) so that i can use my application on any computer without creating DSN for Oracle Reports. I am deploying my application on OC4j as "EAR" file.
Help in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Regards.

Using an 8i client, you will need to configure the tnsnames.ora file with appropriate connection information if you are using local naming. If you are using host naming or something like an Oracle Names server to resolve TNS aliases, you can skip the tnsnames.ora configuration. A default installation of the Oracle client, though, will probably be using local naming.
If the tnsnames.ora file is configured, or you have configured an alternate way of resolving TNS aliases, you should be able to use the connection string
DRIVER={Oracle ODBC Driver};DBQ=<<TNS alias>>;UID=system;PWD=managerIf you wanted to move to the 10g client (the 10g Instant Client could be useful here), there are some streamlined naming methods that could be used instead of configuring the tnsnames.ora file.

Help Needed! java.lang.Exception: Unable to connect to server

I am trying to connect remotely to my office workstation and get the error "java.lang.Exception: Unable to connect to server". I have already upgraded to MountainLion, installed Java 7, and have also tried 3 different browsers (Safari, Firefox, Chrome) without success. I was able to login a few weeks ago and it has since stopped. My employer's IT support cannot understand how to help me and they're telling me I need to buy a PC.
Can someone help?

Check whether your connection pool and datasource are really
started. Also check you have the correct JDNI name, NOT name,
for your datasource.

Help needed: How can I import a large audio collection with many playlists? iTunes crashes because so many playlists try to load and play at once.

I've got a problem that I can't seem to figure out after reading scads of articles and posts. I'd be grateful for any help or ideas you can provide. Here's what's going on.
I have a folder of GraphicAudio audio books. It contains roughly 500 subfolders, one for each book. In each folder are the mp3 files for the book and an m3u file that was supplied with the books at the time of purchase. None of this content is currently in my iTunes library.
When I try to add this folder to my iTunes library, iTunes starts trying to play each playlist it encounters. It crashes after around 30 seconds. I suspect this is because it tries to switch and play playlists so rapidly.
I don't actually want iTunes to start playing each playlist it finds. I just want to import my files. Once they're imported, I can select them and send individual books to my iPod Touch.
Do any of you know of a work-around for this? I'm dreading the thought of having to import each subfolder one by one. I keep thinking that if I could just prevent iTunes from automatically trying to play the playlists, it would import the mp3s and playlist info without a problem. If there's no way to do this in iTunes, might there be a third party app that can manage it somehow?
For reference, I'm using the latest version of 64 bit iTunes under 64 bit Windows 7.
Thanks for taking the time to help me.

I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this thread for background.
That said you should probably start by "undoing" the creation of extra mp3s. If you sort the song list on the Date Added column you can select then first song from the relevant batch, then scroll to the end of the group, hold shift and click to select the range. You can then delete and send to the recycle bin.
My script won't be as effective against this group. The "Convert to format" tool may well specifiy a different bit rate from the source file, but it won't ever increase the quality of the audio. Clearly converting 128k mp3 to 256k mp3 would have no benefit so you want the original files.
If you still have duplicates use the script to thin out what remains.

Help needed on to write a program on connecting to data source

I would to program a class that connect to data source without any manually configure.
Is there other way that i could use intsead of using
db = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:Driver={SQL Server};Server=MyServerName;Database=MyDataBase","","");
My project requires me to use JDBC-ODBC Bridge on connecting to data source on client machine
Is there any other way?

Oh, oh,
why???
It's so simple to do a JDBC connection using the same connection params, which you use for your VB program's connnection.
If your VB prog uses a system or user DSN configured via control panel, then use the same DSN in your Java prog.
Dear karentan,
you have just the same question now active in 4 or 5 different topics. And I and others have not been able to understand what really is your problem, I fear.
Would you please do two things:
1) Start a new topic (yes, another one!) and tell us there what exactly is your problem. What do you want to do?
Not: is it possible ... but: I want ...
2) Go to all the other topics you spreaded here and post the link of your new topic there, so that the poor people who try to answer your 5 (always the same) questions know that they can spare their time.
Please, hold this forum useful!
And let us come to the point that you are helped and we are glad!

Help needed to troubleshoot why my MacBook Pro repeatedly drops wifi connection

We run Mac & PC laptops, iPhone, iPad on occasion, with ATT DSL, 2Wire 2701HG-B Router. First 6 months of enjoying my Mac, no trouble. Then things started to go south. Been dealing with this problem of dropped internet connection for over a year. Got a new router--the 2Wire 2701, finally got a new phone line put in from the outside to inside. It now seems like the MacBook Pro drops the signal far more than the PC. It seems worse when I'm at my desk, which is only a room away from the router. It can drop the signal about every 3rd or 4th click on the internet. The Networks Diagnostics will show red buttons on the Server and Internet. Been testing other areas of the house, and find it seems better in these other areas, dropping far less. Hard to tell, because the problem comes and goes, like the sun. iPhone has dropped connection on occasion. iPad has occasional slow download of YouTube. Neither of those are troubling.
I tried checking with the Airport Utility, but it tells me it can't find any Airport. I obviously understand very, very little of this. Any help would be appreciated.

Which os are you using?
Change your router channel. Sometimes this is all you will have to do.
Power cycling the router. Read the router's user manual or contact their tech support for instructions.

Highlight Airport
Click the Assist Me button
In the popup window click the Diagnostic button.
System Preferences/Network- Unlock padlock. Highlight Airport. Network Name-select your name. Click on the Advanced button. Airport/Preferred Networks-delete all that is not your network.
Place a check mark next to "Remember networks this computer has joined." Click the OK button and lock the padlock. Restart your computer.

Java Card Gurus.. help needed!!! Could be a hidden bug with JavaCard Tools!

Hello,
I've run into a small problem, if u could help me out, Id be really grateful.
The problem lies in the WAY the tools are used(apdutool, jcwde etc). The project envisages the running of the tools from a RELATIVE point of view and not absolute. That is, (simplistically speaking),
The Host side is handled thus:
I AM NOTrunning jcwde as : jcwde -p 9025 jcwde.app
The mode is : c:\javacarddk\bin\jcwde.bat -p 9025 c:\temp\raj\jcwde.app
The Card side is handled thus :
The CAP file generation is : c:\javacarddk\bin\converter.bat -config c:\temp\raj\walletfile.opt
The SCR file generation is : c:\javacarddk\bin\scriptgen.bat -o wallet.scr com/sun/..../javacard/wallet.cap
However. the SERVER responds positively with the "T=0 listening on port 9025" message,
but as soon as the CLIENT is started, ie
c:\javacarddk\bin\apdutool c:\temp\raj\wallet.scr,
The following exception is thrown :(SERVER)
java.net.SocketException: Connection reset by peer: JVM_recv in socket input str
eam read
jcwde terminating on receipt of SimulationException. See previous messages for
cause.
and on the CLIENT :
com.sun.javacard.apdutool.ReaderWriterError: Card powered down. (0x15)
Please help, as the source codes of the JavaCard API are not available, so I am unable to determine if this
RELATIVE path access is the root of the problem.
Any help is appreceiated!!!!
Thanks

cref is not the same as JCWDE.
JCWDE uses class files to emulate Java Card environment. It doesn't support package installation.
If you want to test a package using JCWDE you should a) add path to your class files to classpath that is used by JCWDE and b) specify in JCWDE configuration file AIDs for your applets.
JCWDE receives APDU commands and transfer them to your classes, everything is executed in usual java VM. You can even put debug output (System.out.println(...)) into your sources.
cref if a 'c reference implementation' of Java Card VM. It executes Java Card bytecodes and emulates real device. It supports package installation (scriptgen/apdutool) and works with converted packages.
If you want to test a package using cref you should compile sources, convert class files into cap file, create a script for package installation and use apdutool to install and 'run' package in cref.

HELP - iTunes 9. Library on external HDD connected to Airport Extreme

OK. I've done a search and found similar questions, but no real answer to my problem, so here goes:
I've got all my media contained on an external drive connected via usb to my airport extreme. My problem is that iTunes continually (95% of the time) redirects itself back to default folder on my iBook. The external drive is always on, so I'm not sure why iTunes seems to redirect itself. I have noticed that when I search out my external drive through Finder, there is a slight lag before the file list comes up? Could this be the iTunes issue? (it's trying to connect, but the lag throws it off, so it thinks the folder isn't there and creates a new one?)
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Final follow up: Sorry this took so long, but better late than never. So, I figured out why there was an issue with the "login item" solution....multiple accounts. It seems that one of the accounts wasn't properly login onto the Airport Express (and ultimately the external drive). This was bringing up an error message, but I wasn't seeing it (as it was showing up under the other account). Once I took care of the login issue on the other account, all was well. So, to sum it up, the best solution to this problem seems to be setting the external drive as a login item. Thanks again. The help was much appreciated.
