How to correct or report location errors introduced with iOS 4 vs. iOS 3.x?

When I use location services (via any application) on my iPod touch (1st gen - iOS 3.1), including Find-my-iPhone, my touch's location is precisely located. I have even reported both my wireless routers to Skyhook to assure this accuracy at home.
My iPad, however (via any application, including Find-my-iPhone), has a location error of about 250 yards to the south south east. All of my neighbors with new WiFi-only iPods and iPads think location services is crappy, because it doesn't locate them in their home. Those with 3G support don't generally have the problem.
I've tried to find out where I can report the precise coordinates of my personal hardware (as I did for Skyhook) so Wi-Fi location is improved AND notify the proper organization that an entire swath of East Texas has been scanned with a large location bias, turning data into garbage. Anybody know who to talk to?

Basically, Apple need to inform people how to correct their router info that is contained in their faulty "Locations Service Database" - now, in theory, Apple could collect this information from a user by means of a simple web based form on their support site that asked for the MAC address of the router and either latitude/longitude info or even the users' post code (Zip code). However, in practice this might be harder to do owing to security concerns...
I have had problems with the WiFi provided location service on BOTH my iPad and iMac for at least 2 weeks now. It shows me as being in central London when I am in fact in Central Scotland - very annoying!
What is just as annoying is that there is no info from Apple to even acknowledge that this problem exists...
I have raised this issue with Apple Support via their iPad feedback page - but no response yet.

    Did another window open with the pasted information?  If so, try hitting "enter/return" key and "delete" key at the same time.  That should get rid of the current action on the ical, the extra window should go bye-bye, and all should be fine with the world.

  • How to Correctly Trap PL/SQL Errors for APEX

    This is probably a simple fix but, I have been at it for a while and can't seem to find the magic combination.
    I have a page process that calls back end PL/SQL. I have a page item that is populated by said PL/SQL procedure, P35_PROCESSING_MSG. As you know the Process allows me to specify a message for Success and another for Failure. My desire is that, if there is a back end failure, the error will display in the dialog area, using the built-in "Process Error Message" functionality. Instead, after execution, the page item still has its default value and the following, ugly, error displays in the tabular report region.
    report error:
    ORA-20001: Error fetching column value: ORA-01403: no data found
    ORA-06510: PL/SQL: unhandled user-defined exceptionI just don't get why it displays here instead of in the usual failure area. Moreover, I don't understand why the error is "*+unhandled+* user-defined exception" when, as you will see, I have handled it.
    I have a page process to perfom custom MRD for a tabular form. (I don't think this is really germane to the more generic issue but, I bring it up as an explanaintion for the following code sample). I am diliberately causing a DIVIDE BY ZERO error to test the error handling form the back end.
        PROCEDURE PROCESS_MARGIN_CALL_DELETES( as_StatusMsg OUT VARCHAR2 )  
        IS
            lb_InnerErrorOccured    BOOLEAN := FALSE;

                BEGIN

    Anything included under a "report error" during page rendering is not displaying errors associated with a page process, but with the rendering of that report region, in this case clearly:
    ORA-20001: Error fetching column value: ORA-01403: no data foundThe ORA-06510 user-defined exception error relates to this (ORA-20001 being a user-defined error), but it is coming from the APEX framework rather than your code. Often these prove to be untraceable, unrecoverable problems caused by corruption of report metadata, only "fixable" by dropping and recreating the region.
    This may or may not be related to the setting of the page item "by said PL/SQL procedure", but the exceptions reported in the region are not being raised by the procedure.
    What does the debug trace show to be going on?

    can some please help me what this message means,
    I really appreciate it
    thanks In advance

    If "Credentials supplied by the user running the report" is selected, when the report is run, the user will be prompted to provide credentials.  They would need to provide credentials that have the appropriate permissions (e.g., read, execute) to the
    database.  This prevents the double hop.
    If "Credentials stored securely in the report server" is selected, you have to enter the username and password of a user (or service account) that has the appropriate permissions (e.g., read, execute) to the database. When the report is run, SSRS will use
    these stored credentials each time to authenticate to the database engine and query the data.  Users running the report are not prompted to provide credentials.  With this option you can use an Active Directory or SQL Server account.
    In order to access/run the report, a user will need to authenticate to SSRS.  There are options here as well. You can provide them the link to the report manager and they can authenticate, navigate to, and run the report.  You can also provide
    direct links to reports that users click in a document or application.  At this point the user is typically still prompted to authenticate to SSRS.  You can also programmatically call the report using API's and essentially build a proxy that authenticates
    to SSRS and open the report.
    Not sure if that answers your question.

  • How to correct Mail 5.3 errors in OS 10.7.5 update on Mac Pro

    Since downloading update to OS10.7.5 from Software Update in December, Mail (5.3) cannot send out and all SMTP servers are listed as "Offline". What has caused this and what's the fix??
    I have 3 accounts in Mail, from 3 different mail clients with 3 different SMTP outgoing servers. I cannot send any outgoin mail and one one account cannot even open any INBOX mail listed prior to 29th December when I did the update of OS10.7.5. On the other two accounts I can open previous mail.
    Have checked the settings of all 3 accounts and seem ok. I have Entourage on the same machine and there is no problem using the same 3 accounts on MS Office Entourage. So seems that it is Mail that is affected. But why and what's the fix?
    I have tried and downloading installing the latest update as Mac OS10.7.5 Combo, but it made no difference? I am using a mid-2011 MacPro 2.3 Ghz Intel Core i5.
    Grateful for any suggestions, advice etc.
    I have put this problem up last week but have been struck by the number of similar Mail problems reported and the curious shortage of replies, let alone suggestions for fixes. Is there something about Mail problems that are so different form the general range of OS/software  problems in Macs???

    Did verify disk permission, repair disk permissions
    Steffi, since you can not boot I will assume you did this from your install DVD under Disk Utility. Go back again and this time run the Disk Repair, if there are any error (red) message run the Repair again. Then check the SMART Status at the bottom of the window, it should say "Verified". Quit DU, reboot, then download the 10.5.3 Combo Update from the Apple site and try it again this time without any peripheral attached.

  • How to correct an Applescript recurring error

    I have been trying to find the command in Applescript without success which will allow me to do the following:-
    1. Cell cclr is numbered 1551 on an iWork Numbers spreadsheet comprising 150 rows by 130 columns.
    2. This cell has a value of 1 inserted into it.
    3. If the cell cclr contains the figure 1 I wish to set MyRGB to the background color of another cell wfc.
    4 I then wish to set the background color of yet another cell, wpf, to the color which has  been set to MyRGB.
    I have tried many commands which all result in errors such as:-
    set cclr to 1551
    set wfc to 1419
    set wpf to 1549
    if cell cclr of the front document of the first sheet of the first table = 1 then set MyRGB  to background color of cell wfc of the first table of the first sheet of the front document
    set background color of cell wpf of the front document of the first sheet of the first table to MyRGB
    On running this script I get an Applescript Error:-  Numbers got an error: Can't get table 1 of table 1 of sheet 1 of document 1

The download was listed as a binary file, it was the mac os version I downloaded and it downloaded to my downloads folder as a dmg. I've tried re-downloading. Some of my classmates were able to download and install the same program successfuly without any problems. What could be wrong? I've also tried re-downloading with multiple web browsers and nothing works.

    Hi I'm having a problem with the commands Host and Ed. The problem being that when I run them they send back an error saying

    or
    SQL> ed
    Wrote file /home/joe/Documents/editfile.sql
    /bin/gnome-terminal: No such file or directory
    The problem is that /bin/gnome-terminal is not the correct location for my terminal directory, /usr/bin/gnome-terminal is. Are there any suggestions how I can be able to change it? I'm running SQLPlus 11.2.0.1.0 and I'm using ElementaryOS(made from Ubuntu). Let me know if there is any other information needed to help fix this.

    This is not a SQL or PL/SQL language question  and thus off topic. As it is Linux o/s related, I think it is better suited for the Oracle Linux forum space.
    My guess is, from the little info posted, that your TERM environment variable is not correctly set.

  • How do I resolve share frame errors (-1) with frames in which FCP seems to place a transition mark in the form of an L-shaped or reverse L-shaped figure?

    When I try to use Share to a master file, I get an error that states:  "The share operation Master File has failed.  The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 158 (error -1)."  This has occurred with different frame numbers.  When I delete them, it might disappear for that frame, but then shows up later for others.  It seems that the problem is occuring right at the transition point between two clips.  FCP seems to be putting an L-shaped figure on the last frame of one clip and a reverse L-shaped figure on the first frame of the next clip.  The faulty frame seems to be one of those two frames.  The clips I am having trouble with were from an old, non-digital cameral.  We had converted them to DVDs and then I converted them to MPEG-4 files using Mac X DVD Ripper Pro.  The converter seems to work fine and I can play the converted movie with Quick Time.  Also, FCP will import the converted movie and works just fine with it as a clip and in the timeline.  But when I try to share, I keep getting these errors.  Short of deleting all of these old clips from the movie, which would be sad, how do I solve this problem? 
    After looking at previous discusion threads I have already saved to a new project, deleted the clip and re-imported it, and eliminated the transition effect from between the clips.  But I still get the same errors.
    I also get an error when I try to share to DVD, but that error is a "0" error that doesn't mark the location of the problem.  I'm assuming it is the same problem as the one when I try to share to master file.
    One other weird thing is that in a slightly older version of the movie with the same clips, I was not able to share to DVD but it did share to a master file.  That almost seems like pure luck right now.
    Please help!

    MPEG-4 should not be used in FCP unless it is converted first or optimized in the application.
    Trash your preferences. Trash your project render files. Switch off background rendering. Do not re-render. Export your projects.
    Ignore the last frame and first frame indicators.

  • How to save excel report as CSV file with ActiveX

    Hi,
    I'm trying to save my excel test report as a CSV file using ActiveX and I'm having difficulty getting started.  I can't find an invoke node method that enables CSV file conversion. 
    Can anyone shed light on this?  See attached screenshot.
    Thanks
     

    As long as you are using the Report Generation Toolkit, there is no need to use ActiveX for the purpose of saving the Excel file -- Save Report will do that for you.  You can then export (as text) all of the Excel data and use the Write Spreadsheet File to make the .CSV file.  Here is how I would rewrite the final bits of your code --
    I cleaned up the wires around Excel Easy Table a bit.  You'll see I made a VI Icon for Replace Filename, which does (I think) a nicer job of self-documenting than showing its Label.  To make the filename, add the correct extension (.xlsx for Excel, .csv for CSV), use Build Path to combine Folder and Filename, and wire to Save Report.
    The next two functions add the Extract Everything and Write to Spreadsheet, using a Comma as a separator, which makes a CSV copy for you.

  • How to generate one report in multiple formats with FOP or BIP?

    Hi all,
    Is it possible to generate multiple formats of one report in a single "call" using Apache FOP or BI Publisher? (something similar to reports bursting).
    Right now I can only select one format at a time.
    Thank you,
    Ana-Maria

    Hi Ana-Maria,
    When you enable printing on a report region or add a button to download a report query to your application, then you get a single document download. How would you see this working with "multiple formats"? Given that APEX is a development environment, you can pretty much implement anything you like. The built-in printing capabilities in APEX come with an API that allow for customization of the default functionality, e.g. you can use apex_util.download_print_document to dynamically assign report layouts at rumtime or to use you own XML data sources or XSL-FO style sheets. More relevant to you question though, there's also apex_util.get_print_document. What that allows you to do is to generate report documents inside the database and e.g. store them in database tables or email them out to a list of recipients. You can call this API as often as you like to, requesting any combination of available report formats.
    The API function is documented here:

    END IF;
    How can i do this?
    thanks

    Rana,
    I found this in the Forms online Help. You could easily found it yourself. Don't be afraid of pressing CTRL-H:
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid, REPORT_FILENAME, 'yourreportsfilename.rdf')Regards,
