How do I find out what is in new versions? What version to use?

We are currently using Instant Client 10.1.0.3 connecting to a 9.2.0.6 database. There are several newer version of OIC that are available (10.1.0.5 and 10.2.0.2). How do I find out what is in those versions and whether it is advisable to upgrade (upgrading 500 clients worldwide is no small task)?
Are there changes in either of these versions that address the vulnerabilities of CPU July 2006?
Our servers will be upgraded to 10gR2 in the next 6 months, if that is relevant to the question.

I see your problem now.
Unfortunately Oracle does not disclose the bugs that are fixed in the CPUs.
It is certain that the fixes from CPU July 2006 are neither in Instant Client 10.1.0.5 nor in 10.2.0.2, because these came before the CPU.
Actually I was wrong in my previous reply, you can apply patches, and consequently also CPUs, to Instant Client. The description how to do this is well hidden in the C++ Call Interface Programmer's Guide, see http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14294/install.htm#sthref105
Basically you have to install the full client, patch it, and copy the patched shared libraries over the Instant Client libraries.
I guess if you want to do that, you will have to upgrade your Instant Clients to versions for which the CPU was released.
As to the question what is preferrable, 10.1.0.5 or 10.2.0.2, I'd go for 10.2.0.2 in the hope that it has less bugs. There have been voices on this forum saying that '10.2 is broken', but they have never given more detailed information when I asked. Maybe somebody will append to this thread.
Yours,

How can i find out what app is using data at 5am

i have used an unusual amount of data this month. something on my phone is using data at 5am every morning. its not me. how can i find out what it is?

The times reported for data usage on your bill do not necessarily reflect the time the data was actually used. The system gathers information from the cell sites and reports on a schedule.

How can I find out what application is using bandw...

I've noticed recently there is a constant active internet connection on my phone. If I disconnect it in connection manager it just starts again but I can't figure out which application on my phone is causing this as there is nothing running in the open applications window but I know alot of apps can hide now.
Is there any way to find out what needs this constant connection?
Solved!

Hello, dear brothers in arms...I have exactly the same problem with my new Nokia C7.
It is connecting to WLAN automatically less then a minute after I disconnect it !
I have set as follows: Menu->Settings->Connectivity -> Settings:
Switch to WLAN: MANNUAL
Data use in home country: ALWAYS ASK
Data use when abroad: ALWAYS ASK
and however, it is trying to connect all the time.
When at home - it stays connected to my home WLAN (despite all the disconnections I make manually).
When out of coverage of my home WLAN - giving reports "Connection failed" every few minutes.
Of course the battery lasts not more then a day.
Have double checked - my email boxes are set on "Sync frequency: MANNUAL SYNC ONLY"
I did not set any application for any automatic actions...
Any idea how to control this smarty?

How can I find out what account was used for a Game Center ID?

I have multiple iPhones in my family. I have an Apple ID with a Game Center account.
My son also has a phone with a Game Center account.
I recently swapped phones around when I got the iPhone 4S. Also, we upgraded all of the phones in the house to iOS5.
I think as part of that process, all of the previous log in info was wiped.
Now, my son wants to log back in to his Game Center account, but we can't figure out what Apple ID we used?
I've tried the find my Apple ID links with no avail.
I know what his Game Center handle is... is there a way to track it via that ID?
Help!
Thanks

Nevermind... I figured it out. I just had to log in with the Game Center ID and it worked.
Thanks anyway.

This document may help with your first question:
"Well known" TCP and UDP ports used by Apple Software Products
This IANA listing of the port numbers is also useful, if more detailed.
You can use the Sharing tab of System Preferences to configure the firewall to block all ports except for those specified; you can use the command-line ipfw utility to set up more detailed firewall configurations.

HT204053 How can I find out what devices are using my AppleID and the history of purchased items with my AppleID?

I have used my appeID to load some games to my son's friends iPod's and have found that the iTunes gift cards that were loaded under my ID have been used very quickly ($100 in 2 months) when I have not been downloading things. I have been told that the friend has been downloading games/music after I had put in my password to load something else.

We are fellow users on here and not Apple employees so have no account access.
You can see iTunes and app store purchases by going to the store for each and clicking Purchases on the right side.
You might want to consider contacting the store support staff at http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html and request your account be locked for a period of time. You need to stop allowing uncontrolled access and that may be he bet way.

No suitable plugins were found, how do i find out what plugin to use?

''edit: just tested it myself now & after the installation the plugin in question won't show up in firefox' plugin list - the site also looks quite outdated (it refers to netscape navigator, which was used a decade ago) so this might indicate this plugin is deprecated and you won't be able to get it running on current firefox versions.''

How can I find out what is eating up my data?

This is my second month with Verizon and with my old service plan we only use to use 5GB per month. Now we are over 7GB. How can I find out what I am using that is eating up my data? I still do same things I did 3 months ago.

I Assume you may have more than one, new device. You can check in each devices settings, under cellular/mobile data to see which applications are using the most data.
YOu can then change many of the applications to use wifi only by turning cellular data off.
email and social media apps have settings within the apps to restrict cellular use, like not showing video of images.
restrict application from running in the background by closing apps before leaving home wifi or letting your phone "sleep" at home, while not connected to power. (To save battery your phone switches off wifi, reverting to cellular, not a desirable feature, but it is supposed to save battery)
** to close apps, double click home button and swipe up to close app. Leaving YouTube, Games, Maps, Social media apps open in the background can use mobile data.
clear the "outbox" in email. Cases of massive data use have occurred when an email continues to fail and sits in the out box of the Mail app.
IN General, a newer phone does use more data for the same functions as older phones.
FFor more help with your iPhone, please visit Apple support, community forums or a Genius Bar. I find them very helpful.
if you do go in to Genius Bar, back up your device. In some cases, replacing or a complete restor are the only solutions.

Sounds like you want your administrative password on the Mac so can install? For starters, you'll want to ask in a Mac forum. I know you used to be able to reset it using the install disk but haven't tried that for years.

How do i find out what devices are authorised on my apple ID?

I have just bought a new iMac and want to get all my itunes library etc on it. However, apparently i have reached my limit of 5 authorisations, which is entirely possible as I have had a number of iphones, Macair and ipads, some of which I either no longer own or are no longer functioning. How do I find out what devices are authorised and then deauthorise any that I don't use any more - given that they may not even work!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't de-authorise just the computers you no longer have access to.
Your only option is to de-authorise all your computers and then re-authorise those you wish to be authorised. You can do this by logging into your account settings in iTunes on your computer (Store > View My ID) and selecting the option to de-authorise all.
Please note however, you are only permitted to do this once in each 12 month period, therefore you would be better de-authorising your computers before you lose access to them. you can do this from the 'Store' menu in iTunes.

I have two iPhones on my iTunes account. How can I find out what apps go to which phone?

I have two iPhones on my iTunes account. How can I find out what apps go to which phone?

I don't believe that there is a way to do that. I would sugest using automatic downloads to keep your apps synced across both phones. You might also want to note that just about any app you have ever download will be available for free download via icloud.
Wish I could be more help.
