Japib is correct.
WHAT happens? Exactly.
Also helpful would be to tell what event preceded this behavior - added App, update iOS, etc.

My Ip5 got stocked on "searching..." For my carrier. I already removed the SIM but it doesnt stop searching. How can i troubleshoot this kind of problem?

How can I troubleshoot my iphone5 if it got stocked searching for my carrie?. I already tried removing the SIM card but it doesnt stop searching. I also tried using other SIM but still same result.

Try this: press F10 or tap the Alt key to display the menu bar temporarily, then
View > Toolbars > Menu Bar
If that doesn't work, you could reset your toolbars to factory default using Firefox's Safe Mode. First, make a backup of your computer for safekeeping. To back up Firefox, see [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information].
Next, start Firefox in Firefox
[http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode], and check only the box to reset toolbars. Be careful not to "reset" anything else if you didn't back up.
Hope this helps.

I m having problems with both my iphone 3gs and 4 when my cellular data is on and my battery is fully charge but out of suddenn it will shut off can i know how can i troubleshoot this issue thanks

simply try doing a back up and restore
when going thru the activation screen, select SET UP AS NEW and then test your device. if it is not shutting down then it could be 1 or more apps tht have been downloaded wch could be affecting the device
you will then need to follow the process of eleimnation, meaning add 2 apps and then monitor your phone, if nothing happes then add another couple of them and then check
good luck !!

Satellite L500D-11J - How can I turn off the microphone?

Hi,
I have a similar problem with the microphone. Suddenly it turned on, resonating with the loudspeakers. When skyping this didn't work anymore. I have a SATELLITE PRO L500D-11J. What to do?
Is the microphone indeed intergrated with the webcam? How can I put of the microphone while keeping the loudspeakers on?

Hey,
Theoretically the microphone can be turned off in Volume settings of Windows. Therefore you have to select the input devices and disable it there Thats all! :)
Furthermore the microphone is a part of the webcam and therefore you can update the webcam driver. Normally the microphone will be turned on if you use the webcam.

Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

How can I troubleshoot an SSIS package with errors ?

I am testing a package which is a straightforward move from Oracle table-A to Oracle table-B
I have the header and table tables working fine, but the detail table is getting an error, with the errors not being helpful at all. The detail data flow has around 300+ columns, but the error doesn't say anything that points to the specific error. I
did review the warnings and found two columns that I needed to substring to be able to fit into the destination. But still getting an error.
A colleague said the error "The "input "OLE DB Destination Input" (4781)"
means this is for Column 4781 - but how do I find that ? We looked in Advanced Settings but the column ID's are all above 5000.
So how do I troubleshoot this ? In SSIS, I can only think to un-map 1/2 the columns, see if that works, then narrow it down from there. I can try to replicate the insert statement in Oracle but that's crazy, imo.
Here are the errors:
Error: 0xC0202009 at Load Detail Data, Caremark CET Claims Destination [4768]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x00040EDA.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "OraOLEDB" Hresult: 0x00040EDA Description: "Multiple-step operation completed with one or more errors. Check each status value.".
Error: 0xC0209029 at Load Detail Data, Caremark CET Claims Destination [4768]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_INDUCEDTRANSFORMFAILUREONERROR. The "input "OLE DB Destination Input" (4781)" failed because error code 0xC020907B occurred, and the error row disposition on "input "OLE DB Destination Input" (4781)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure.
Error: 0xC0047022 at Load Detail Data, SSIS.Pipeline: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_PROCESSINPUTFAILED. The ProcessInput method on component "Caremark CET Claims Destination" (4768) failed with error code 0xC0209029 while processing input "OLE DB Destination Input" (4781). The identified component returned an error from the ProcessInput method. The error is specific to the component, but the error is fatal and will cause the Data Flow task to stop running. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure.
Error: 0xC02020C4 at Load Detail Data, Argus PCT Claiims Source [5281]: The attempt to add a row to the Data Flow task buffer failed with error code 0xC0047020.
Error: 0xC0047038 at Load Detail Data, SSIS.Pipeline: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_PRIMEOUTPUTFAILED. The PrimeOutput method on component "Argus PCT Claiims Source" (5281) returned error code 0xC02020C4. The component returned a failure code when the pipeline engine called PrimeOutput(). The meaning of the failure code is defined by the component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure.

I figured out the error outside of SSIS, by trying to insert the data directly in Oracle ("insert into [my_dest_table select * from [my_source_table"), and that showed me the error (trying to insert varchar-2 into varchar-1). so I corrected and got my package
working.
Basic takeaway is the error messages don't tell you anything. It seems like the Oracle error would be readable by Sql Server/SSIS and so it would write that in the log.
So I basically did your "1>" suggestion and that worked.
I would like to do "3>" but don't know how . . . if you can point me in the right direction I could probably figure it out, I have a couple of books and I have colleagues whom I can ask.
thanks !

How can we know if the microphone is functioning using jmf?

Hi everybody,
This code never output "DataSource Not detected" neither the microphone is connected or not.
CaptureDeviceInfo deviceInfo = (CaptureDeviceInfo) CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList(new AudioFormat(AudioFormat.LINEAR, 44100, 16, 1)).get(0);
DataSource inSource=Manager.createDataSource(deviceInfo.getLocator());
if(inSource.equals(null)) {System.out.println("DataSource Not detected");   }
why inSource is never null?
how can we notify the user when no data is captured?
thx

I wanted to add that even with this code handling exceptions, exceptions are not displayed even if the microphone is not connected!
CaptureDeviceInfo deviceInfo = (CaptureDeviceInfo) CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList(new AudioFormat(AudioFormat.LINEAR, 44100, 16, 1)).get(0);
DataSource inSource = createDataSource(deviceInfo.getLocator());
protected DataSource createDataSource(MediaLocator locator)
try {
try {
return Manager.createDataSource(locator);
catch (NoDataSourceException ex) {
     {System.out.println("NoDataSourceException: "+ex);
//The failure only concens us
return null;
catch (IOException ex) {
     System.out.println("IOException: "+ex);
//The failure only concens us
return null;
finally {
please help if you have an answer
