How routers are added to location database?

I know that Apple works with a database where routers are saved with its locations. When your iDevice is connected to a wifi network it copies part of the database and part of the map corresponding to your actual location to its caché.
I once read that Street View's cars uploaded routers and their locations when working.
However I live in a small town in Argentina, and I get my location on my iPod while walking.
One of my thoughts was that iPhone, which owns GPS and satellital network, could upload routers to that database, am I right?
How does it work?

In my first post, I meant to say "people with iPhone" could be uploading routers and its locations unconsciously.
Yes, I was close, thanks for that article, I should have read it before. However it would be more simple to understand if we just post this:
Crowd-sourced Wi-Fi and cellular Location Services
If Location Services is on, your device will periodically send the geo-tagged locations of nearby Wi-Fi hotspots and cell towers in an anonymous and encrypted form to Apple, to augment Apple's crowd-sourced database of Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower locations. In addition, if you are traveling (for example, in a car) and Location Services is on, a GPS-enabled iOS device will also periodically send GPS locations and travel speed information in an anonymous and encrypted form to Apple, to be used for building up Apple's crowd-sourced road traffic database. The crowd-sourced location data gathered by Apple does not personally identify you.

  • How endpoints are added to the database of ISE?

    Hi all,
    I just activated two ISE servers in production, everything works fine but when i look to the endpoints database i already have
    5000 endpoints in less than 12 hours.
    The envirronment is public..meaning that people are coming in for a few hours and than leave.
    We basically use ISE 1.1.2 for wireless authentication. We have two SSID... One private SSID using 802.1x and one open SSID for free WiFi.
    So the private SSID use ISE for authenticating the users and the open SSID does not use ISE at all for authentication or CWA..
    NO mac authentication is defined on the open WLAN also.
    95% of the endpoints i see seems to come from devices that have connected on the free wifi. I can see their ip addresses
    Why are they learned by ISE and how? I suspect that it's because i have activated Radius probe in ISE because the endpoint
    source is saying that in the logs.
    Is there a way to stop learning all theese endpoints? I want to learn only those connecting on the private network.
    thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    thanks for the replies..
    On the WLC side, the NAC state is set to NONE on the public WLAN. On the private WLAN, i have it set to radius NAC.
    On the ISE side, i do have DHCP, HTTP, DNS and Radius enabled in the profiling configuration tab on both servers.
    Like i have mentionned 95% of the endpoint i see are from this public WLAN and the end point source is Radius.. The thing
    i don't undertstand is why i do see them has RADIUS probe when ther is no radiusauthention on this WLAN?
    I can disable the radius probe on my ISE servers but i will lose some profiling on the private WLAN.
    What are your thoughs?
    thanks

  • Need to know the API which will extract how many users are added in group..

    Hello,
    I am working in Oracle Portal. In the portal we have Oracle Indentity Management where we are adding users as well as the group. We are looking for an API which helps us to do that from PL/SQL code. We got it but we have some issue. We know that how to create group, add users to group, delete users from group, delete group but we unable to get how many users already added to the group. Can anybody help me out in this case. It is urgent!

    Hi,
    How to check ,how many  users are logged in and logged out in oracle ebs 11i/R12.
    Please check the following links:
    Oracle EBS - Number of Users logged into EBS / Oracle Applications currently
    List all users currently logged in on Oracle EBS
    Also see forum Search:
    Forum Search: Logged In EBS User
    Also, in the database level too
    Please see:
    https://forums.oracle.com/message/9225094#9225094
    Do we need to write any trigger for this?
    Yes you may, But I personally suggest you not to do so as it may affect performance.
    Thanks &

  • How to restore from an incremental backup when new datafiles are added

    1) Source - We have a base backup and then take differential (LEVEL 1) backups every day. Due to business needs, new datafiles keep added daily in the database. So you will see an incremental backup having new datafiles that got created after the LEVEL 0 backup.
    2) Destination - We want to restore this database in the destination host "continiously".
    a) I first restored from the BASE FULL - LEVEL 0 . This was successful (restored and recovered, but did not OPEN the database)
    b) But restoring a LEVEL 1 now on top of the already restored LEVEL 0 makes the restore start all over again if there are NEW DATAFILES added after the LEVEL 0 backup in the source database.
    This is not a problem when no new datafiles are added/modified between the "BASE" and "LEVEL 1" backup.
    So how do you "just restore only the new datafiles" instead of "starting from BASE LEVEL 0 restore" again " ?
    -Thanks
    Srini

    Hi Srini,
    So how do you "just restore only the new datafiles" instead of "starting from BASE LEVEL 0 restore" again " ?The recovery process after the restore should add the newly created datafiles on the destination host.
    Can you check by querying v$datafile in mount mode and post the output?

  • How can we get the location from location area code?

    Hi All,
    i have an application which successfully runs on Motorola L6 and it gives me the cell-id, Location area code, and Mobile Network Code, and Mobile Country Code.

    How do I delete excess email messages from my iPhone.  There are 300 messages listed, and every time I delete some, more are added from old messages.  How do I limit the number of messages that can appear on my phone?  How can I delete messages in bulk,

    You can't.
    All photos transferred from your computer are stored in the Photo Library. The photos in the album or albums below are not duplicates - they include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. This way you can view the photos in a particular album only by selecting the album, or you can view all photos available in all albums by selecting Photo Library.
    Just as with an iTunes playlist. A song cannot be in an iTunes playlist unless the song is in the main iTunes library. Placing a song in a playlist does not duplicate the song. Remove the main iTunes library or the songs from the main iTunes library that are in a playlist and the songs will no longer be in the playlist either. This way you can listen to the songs in the playlist only by selecting the playlist, or all songs in your entire iTunes library by selecting Music under Library in the iTunes source list.
    The same with iPhoto on a Mac. A photo cannot be in an in iPhoto Event or Album unless the photo is in the main iPhoto library. Placing a photo in an Event or Album does not duplicate the photo. This way you can view the photos in an iPhoto Event or Album only by selecting the Event or Album, or all photos in all Events or Albums.

  • How can I find the location of an i-pod shuffle, nano and touch that i have synced to my account? I have had each one stolen and would be so relieved if i could track there location as I know they are still in the county I live.

    How can I find the location of an i-pod shuffle, nano and touch that i have synced to my account? I have had each one stolen and would be so relieved if i could track there location as I know they are still in the county I live.
    Also if i cant locate them can i at least remotely delete the libraries, and lock them so they are unusable to the thiefs, and i had a sony laptop worth £2000 stolen which I had used my apple account for a year is there anyway i can track that or retrieve the contents and delete them?
    Please if anybody knows reply or contact me!!!! =-)
    many thanks

    You or Apple can do nothing to prevent use of the devices.
    For the iPod touch if you turned on the FindMyiPod feature and wifi is on and connected yu may be ablt ot locate it and wipe it by going to iCloud, signing in and going to FindMyiPhone. However, if the iPOd is rectored that feature is deleted.
    Report to police and change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod.

  • DB Tool List Table: How to access tables which are in different SQL database ?

    Hi, All,
    I'm working on a database application (SQL server) and is evaluating the NI DB Tool kit for this project.
    One of the requirement is that I need to access tables which are in two different database
    (say Table A in DB 1 and Table B in DB 2).
    Our IT guys has linked Table A in DB1 to DB 2 and I verfied this when I use the SQL server managment studio.
    When DB 2 tables are populated, Table A from DB1 is also there. I can also do the same thing using MS Access.
    Table A in DB1 is avalaible to me enven though I only connect to DB 2.
    Here comes the problem.
    When I use DB Tool List Table.vi to access DB2, it does NOT list Table A in DB1. It only list the tables in
    the database (DB2) which I make connection to (using DB Tool Open Connection.vi with a file DSN)
    So my work around right now is to open two seperate connection to DB1 and DB2. However, this approach
    obviously creates a problem when I have to access seperate database constantly in my application.
    What would be a solution to this ? I've search the forum but only see one post that's somewhat related to
    my question. (And it was posted on 2004) Perhaps I need to alter the code in the orignial VI (DB Tool List Table.vi)??
    My IT guy told me he has not encountered this scenario since he writes codes in other enviroment such as
    VB and others, and he's always been successful by linking tables to different database. 
    I hope my question is sound and clear since I really don't know much about database terminology.
    Any comment/suggestion is much appreciated !!!
    Thanks
    Chad
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    To josborne:
    To answer your question:
    - Are the two databases contained on the same SQL Server instance? 
    Or are the databases on separate instances?  I assume they are on
    separate servers, otherwise this wouldn't really be an issue.  But its
    good to know because it will affect how you build your SQL statements.
    Yes they are on separate instances. 
    - Ask your IT people specifically how they "linked Table A in DB1 to
    DB 2".  I assume they used "linked servers". 
    Maybe I used the wrong terminology "linked." They created a "View of Table A (DB1)" in DB2 using the management studio.
    Here is a screen shot of that. As you can see, dbo.VISUAL_WORK_ORDER is seen under LABVIEW database in the management studio.
    I also see the same table when I make connection to database using MS Access.
    Could you elaborate on "configure your SQL statement correctly" =) ? The purpose of using LabView's took kit is so that I can do
    minimum SQL statements. Are you talking about modifying LabView's native VI (DB Tool List Table.vi) ?
    Thanks for the information. SQL is just something new to me.

  • How to find that how many mailboxes are stored in each database

    Hi every one.
    Good evening
    My question is, i have two databases in exchange 2010 server and i have around 150 mailboxes in both databases.
    mdb01 & mdb02. I need to now how many mailboxes are stored in each database like
    pls see example.. this is just a example..i dont no how many are stored in each datbase :-(
    mdb01----20 mailbox
    mdb02----130 mailboxes
    and also i would like to know about the below details also
    available mailboxsize in each database----DBsize---DB white space--
    Thanks for your kind help
    Karan

    To see how many mailboxes you have in each database, run:
    Get-Mailbox -Server <ServerName> | group database | ft Name,count -AutoSize
    ...and to get a hunch of how much free space you have available, run
    Get-MailboxDatabase -Server <ServerName> -Status| ft Name,databasesize,available* -AutoSize
    ...but to get the exact amount of free space, you need to dismount the database and run
    eseutil /ms
    See:

    Don't use null layouts. Learn how to use layout managers.
    The basic design of your frame should be something like this:
    JPanel tablePanel = new JPanel( set your desired layout manager here );
    JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane( tablePanel );Now when you invoke your search code to create a new table the code will be something like:
    JTable table = new JTable(...);
    tablePanel.add( table );
    tablePanel.revalidate();The revalidate() will invoke the layout manager and the new preferred size of the panel will be calculated and then scrollbars will be added if required.
    The key is to use a layout manager and to revalidate the panel containing the tables.

  • How to get a scroll bar to scroll down as new elements are added

    I have a JPanel that displays a list of information. As new information is added to the bottom of the list, a scroll bar appears. I require the scroll bar to scroll down as the new elements are added so that the most recent one's are in view all the time. Any ideas on how to do this?
    Thanks

    before adding each component.
    get the scrollbar object
    store the
    ScrollBar sb = JFrame.getScrollBar();
    int cmax = scrollbar.getVisibleAmount();
    add component .....
    int nmax = scrollbar.getVisibleAmount();
    int diff = nmax - cmax;
    sb.setValue(sb.getValue() + diff);
    assuming you can get the scrollbar object from the
    JFrame, ContentPane of JScrollPane.

  • I have taken pictures of items that are linked to a database that I am building.  How can I bypass importing into iPhoto and simply downloading the images as "files" not "photos" so I can access them with my database?  thanx.

    I have taken pictures with both my Sony camera and my iPhone of items that are linked to a database that I am building, as well as my website.  How can I bypass importing the images into iPhoto and simply downloading the images as "files" not "photos" so I can access them with my database?  thanx.

    If your Sony has a removable memory card you can use a card reader to copy the image files from to a folder on your Desktop and then move them anywhere you'd like.
    Since the iPhone doesn't have a removable memory card you can try using Image Capture to see if you can manually upload the files to a folder on the Desktop. 
    If you have to import the photos, which are image files, into iPhoto you can then export them out of iPhoto to the Desktop and go from there to your database.  Just because they are in iPhoto doesn't prevent you from using them elsewhere.

  • After years of no problems I can't print photos. When I select print I get the message "There are no themes located. Until at least one theme has been installed this feature will be unavailable.  What are themes? How do I install them?

    After years of no problems I sddenly can't print photos. When I select print I get the message "There are no themes located. Until at least one theme has been installed this feature will be unavailable.  What are themes? How do I install them? Why has this problem suddenly arisen?

    Re-installing does not affect your Library in any way. You don't delete it, only the app.
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • How to use Flash recovery area only for flashback database feature

    I would like to use flash recovery area only for flashback database feature, which means, flash recovery area will store only flashback logs.
    I dont want to use that file system for any other files, like archive log files, database backups, control file copies, multiplex redo log, etc
    is it possible? I want to use this feature only for flashback database option and hence i dont want to disturb any existing configuration in my database
    including backup jobs. Is it required to store archive redo log files also in flash recovery area to use the flashback database feature?
    I certainly can't afford to have a copy of entire database in this file system as size of my DB is more than the flash recovery area file system I have.
    Thanks

    Aman,
    I think i was not clear in my question. Let me try again
    My only requirement is to use flashback database feature (or be prepared to use if required). I dont want to create a large file system to use this FRA to store all these files. Out of all the files being stored here copy of data files seems to be consuming more space. I see these files are classified as transient and permanent files. I am okay with permanent files. I fear that this file system may consume more space if i store backup files on disk. I want database backups to go to tapes, not to the FRA disk. Is it possible?
    Thanks for your reply
    Okay, well in that case you can use RMAN and push the backups to the tape drives. FLB logs would be stored on the FRA.
