I have a very strange situation...

This seems a little hard to believe, but I bought an 60gb iPod at a swap meet for 5 dollars. The Catch? It has no screen. I bought a screen on ebay (it hasn't come in the mail yet) that I can install myself (I'm good at that kind of stuff), but for now I can't get it to connect to the computer properly. I can hear the hard drive spin when I manually reset it (menu+select) and the computer will install it. Under device manager it reads it as "apple ipod usb device" under the disk drives tab, and "usb mass storage device" under the usb tab. But It wan't come up under my computer. (I can't get it into disk mode because I have no screen)(Hidden folders are shown on my computer). Itunes won't read it either. When I do diagnostics, it passes everything but ipod connection status. Please help me!!

have you tried plugging it in another computer? this happened to me a while back, the USB drivers on the PC were somehow corrupted, so I reinstalled the drivers and nothing, I installed a fresh copy of windows and that did the trick. well, worth a shot i guess.
This is a known issue, many people have had it work by doing what other members here have mentioned. A not so familiar issue is what you are stating. It's a 50/50 chance, given that it is a "damaged" iPod.

I have a very strange problem - A can listen on B, but B cannot listen on A

Hello!
I have a very disturbing problem.
I have done a Paint-like program that add Point-objects on the JFrame. This porgram is networked and it contains a thread class that is sending the Point and a thread class that recieves Point objects. That makes it possible to open two instances of the program and when you paint on one of the windows, the program will send the point coordinats through a DatagramPacket to the other window. So, to make this clear, this program has ONE Sending class called Client and ONE Receiving class called Server. So when you want to make a connection, then you have to open two instances of the program.
So what is the problem?
Suppose that I have opened two instances of the program. Instance A is sending packets to port 2001 and is listening for packets on port 2000. Instance B is sending packets to port 2000 and is listening for packets on port 2001.
When I draw a point on Instance A's window, the Instance B is receiving the point and draws the point on its window.
When I draw a point on Instance B's window, the Instance A is NOT receiving the point. Instance B is listening on itself. That is the problem. Why is instance B listening for packets from itself and why doesn´t A get B's packets when B gets A's packets?
Here is the send och receive classes (called Client and Server):
class Client extends Thread
            Point p;
            Client(Point p)
                 this.p = p;
            public void run()
                 System.out.println("Sending");
                 try
                      InetAddress toHost = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
                      int port = 2000;
                      DatagramSocket sock = new DatagramSocket();
                      String message = Integer.toString(p.x) + " " + Integer.toString(p.y);
                      byte[] data = message.getBytes();
                      DatagramPacket p = new DatagramPacket(data, data.length, toHost, port);
                      sock.send(p);
                 catch(SocketException se){}
                 catch(IOException ioe){}
                 catch(ConcurrentModificationException cme){}
class Server extends Thread
            String message;
            String[] xy;
            public void run()
                 System.out.println("Receiving");
                 try
                      byte[] data = new byte[8192];
                      DatagramPacket packet = new DatagramPacket(data, data.length);
                      DatagramSocket sock = new DatagramSocket(2001);
                      while(true)
                           sock.receive(packet);
                           message = new String(packet.getData(), 0, packet.getLength());
                           xy = message.split(" ");
                           Point p = new Point(Integer.parseInt(xy[0]), Integer.parseInt(xy[1]));
                           addPoint(p);
                 catch(SocketException se){}
                 catch(IOException ioe){}
                 catch(ConcurrentModificationException cme){}
}I have tried to solve this for hours but I have not found any solution.
Please, help!

Here is an executable example.
1. To run the first instance: Compile the code and run the application and note that it is listening on port 2000 and sending through port 2001
2. To run the second instance: Change the ServerSocket to listen on port 2001 and the DatagramSocket to send through port 2000 and compile and run the application.
3. Tell me this: Why does the first instance listen from DatagramPackets from itself and not from the other running instance while the other running instance is listening for DatagramPackets sent from the first instance? The one who can give me the answer will be the man of the month.

I have a very strange home screen app glitch; can someone please take some time to read this because I am stuck!

I truly thank anyone who reads this and offers any suggestions.
I went to the App Store on my iPod touch 4th generation (6.0.1) and downloaded an app. Then I went back to the home screen to move the app inside a folder. I did this while the app was downloading. I held down the icons and they began to wiggle. As I dragged the app icon over the folder, the screen froze, then went through a bunch of random whatever. Now, suddenly, I have two copies of the same app, one of which is ready to use, and one that has the "Installing" bar full. I can't delete either of them. Is there ANY way to fix this without restoring? Thanks so much for your help.

Yes.a reset does not erase any data. I always do that when my ipad has a problem. Even apple says it before you go to the genius bar.
You never know how a reset and just fix one simple thing.

I have a very strange git issue [Solved... nearly]

I've been using the PKGBUILD and supporting files of vimprobable2-git from AUR on three of my machines. On one of them, my 64 bit machine, I can use the PKGBUILD only one time. After that I get this error:
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/skottish/pkgbuilds/vimprobable2-git/src/vimprobable/.git/
error: The requested URL returned error: 403 (curl_result = 22, http_code = 403, sha1 = ad688af04cbae11a1ac2aca2153ac9932bc73d03)
error: Unable to find ad688af04cbae11a1ac2aca2153ac9932bc73d03 under http://www.yllr.net/vimprobable/vimprobable.git

while processing commit de100856c5d69c23a8a7f03aad3e58ed4d8706c6.
At this point, I can no longer connect to the git repo even from outside of the build directory. I get the same error every time.
When I'm at this point, I can grab the build files from one of my 32 bit machines and get a successful build. It will pull down the git repo just fine. That will be the last time I can reach the git repo until I do this again. I'm very confused by this.
--EDIT--
I should mention that git works as expected everywhere else.

Aha! I found the F'ing little bastard! And no, I haven't been stuck here since this thread begin, so don't bother.
The problem lies in mulitple directories for the same program in /var/lib/pacman/local. For instance, if one has (like I did) this:
/var/lib/pacman/local/vimprobable-git and /var/lib/pacman/local/vimprobable2-git (both for vimprobable2 due to a sloppy PKGBUILD)
pacman/makepkg chooses the first 'desc' field (vimprobable-git) but built in the current directory (vimprobable2-git). It doesn't know what to do to in this circumstance, so it defaults to the first. This is clearly a bug in makepkg/pacman, but it's hard to find unless one is mildly to heavily retarded (all eyes point towards me. I look away as if I was popular for another reason).
--EDIT--
In the example above, I wasn't building vimprobable, only vimprobable2.
--EDIT2--
I discovered this when dzen2-svn wouldn't show the proper version. Fixed.
--EDIT3--
It's probably a combination of the 'desc' and 'provides' fields. Isolating that is where the future bug report lies. It will only exist in version controlled packages, and that makes it even more tricky to identify.

Address Book entries have very strange appearance

Since updating to Leopard, my Address Book entries have a very strange appearance. When I copy and paste them the info is correct, but in the Address Book right-hand window the name (first and last) appears like gobbledigook, as if it was a strange font that is almost like mathematical equations
With my utmost thanks in advance (as ever) if anyone has the answer to this weird problem
Kind Regards
Bernard

Thanks a million for taking the trouble to respond Ashka.
I was only reminded of the problem when I opened a web page and saw a similar effect on a couple of lines as I had in my Address Book and having discovered your response, I followed your instructions and on scanning through my fonts, I also turned off "Helvetica Fractions" (as the gobbledigook looked as if it might be fractions). One of these actions seems to have done the trick.
Whilst looking for a particular font a while back, I ended up downloading absolutely hundreds, but it wasn't until I foolishly installed them all that I realised what a mistake I had made, as Word wouldn't even open, as it couldn't cope with the number of fonts. So I had to keep deleting fonts until Word was happy and even now, I still have far too many fonts. I kid myself that I like having so much to choose from, but truth is I am never going to use 90 per cent of them. Moreover, having discovered this problem, I wonder if there are any others in there that are going to cause me problems in the future?
Again, can't thank you enough for your trouble
Best Regards
Bernard

Very strange!! i got the old web?

I have a very strange thing that happened and iam trying to figureout what is going on after i tried modifying tens or maybe hundreds of setting trying to solve it.
I have a motorola sbg6580 for my home perimeter i have forwared port 80 to my webserver and it works fine jst like always.
Now i also have an ASA 5505 which i configured for the webserver, after i put the webserver behind it the topology config was like this:
motorola sbg6580>ASA>switch>webserver1+webserver2+laptop. (forworded port 80 from the moto to the ASA external interface).
strangely, from the outside internet i can access only the old version of the website (i did updated the website the night before and it worked fine when connected directlly to the moto with out the ASA).
Then i found out that the old version of the website (website contects before update) also exist on the other web server so i figured OK i forgot to stop the other server's website, but when i stopped the other server'ways website the same thing keeps happening..i get the old website.
By the way (when i type the address of the intended website (ip address http://x.x.x.x) from a computer on the VLAN or the LAN I Get the updated view of the website and everything is fine, but when i access it from the internet i get the old unupdated view!!!
After that i got the webserver off the ASA's network and connected it directly to the moto like before when it was working fine (and i did the port forwarding to the server again) i got the same problem again..i get the old view of the website not the updated when i try to open it from the internet,but when i open it locally from the LAN i get the new updated website with no problem.
This got me thinking of three possibilities:(which are impossible to even think about):
1-Is there some caching function of the webserver it self for the old website or some where on the network? (if yes then how come i can open it just fine and view the updated website from the LAN or from the webserver host it self?) so this might be impossible which brings the thought of the second and most likely possibility which is:
2-The Motorolla router somehow have a malfunction wth it's forwarding capability (which is also not possible because when i send http request from the internet i do get the website but not the updated one but the old version which does not even exist on the server.
3-The ASA firewall is somehow contagious!!!
The question is (where exactly is this old website is view or layout is coming from after i tookout it's files from the server it self and replaced it with new files when are for the new updated website) , and how to fix it?
This is the first time i see such a thing and i have been trying for hours and hors to solve it or see where the problem is (i suspect problem in the moto router)

Apple has an out of warranty replacement program, the cost in the US is $199. I don't know if any original iPhones are still available under this program(remember, that phone was discontinued sometime ago), but even if they were, why would you spend $200 on a discontinued phone?

Printing PDF with FOP is very strange

Hello,
i have a very strange problem.
My old environment
Oracle 10.2 DB
Apex 4.0.2
Apache
FOP inside a OC4J Container
My printing Report contains 9 Queries and each query is using some bind variables.
We also use our own report layout
That works since 2 years now.
Now we migrated to a new server
The new eniroment
Oracle 11.2.0.3
Apex 4.0.2
EPG
FOP inside a OC4J Container
Same reports as in the old environment.
Now the pdf is producing empty content, but the pdf is a valid pdf file.
After a lot of testing with epg, apache, apex 4.2 and the old environment we have no clue whats wrong here.
how can i get the xml which is send to to fop engine?
I need to see what is in that xml
I tried the "test report" button and so on, but working with bind variables in the queries is not showing the correct content.
cheers volker

First of all, bonus points for that subject - made me laugh
I tried the "test report" button and so on, but working with bind variables in the queries is not showing the correct content.Not sure what you mean by this.
Edit report query -> Edit SQL for one of the queries (the little pencil)
Set bind variables -> (enter as appropriate) -> Test query
Produces XML download.
Do you generate any large content, greater than 32k?

Very strange issue when displaying the Account PDF Factsheet.

We have a very odd situation.
We have one users (user1) who has the same business role as everyone else in the office. They can enter the UI (CRM 7), display an account and then click on the PDF Factsheet option. It seems to process and then simple says 'Done', but there's no PDF document displayed. At first I thought it was an Adobe issue, but, if someone in the office (user2) logs into SAP on user1's PC (in the same Windows session), they can perform the same process in the UI and the PDF is displayed, so it can't be a PC related issue, and must somehow be related to user1's SAP profile or role in some way.
Comparing User1 and User2's roles displays no differences, and their SU01 entries are also the same.
Can anyone come up any recommendations as to what it could be?.
I've more or less exhausted all my options.
Jason

I think we have discoverd what is causing the problem.
In CRM 7, when you view an Account (BP) the first assignment block to be show is the account details block. If you have this block collapsed (not expanded) or not on the screen at all then PDF fact sheet does not work. If I then expand the Account details block and review the PDF Fact Sheet, it then displays perfectly.
I guess there must be some dependancy of the PDF Fact sheet on the Account details block. I placed a breakpoint (normal and external) in the method of the class CL_UIU_PRN_ACCOUNT, but this code never gets called when the Account details block is collapsed. I'll have to find out what code is executed before this class/method is called.

Very strange EL evaluation problem

Hi,
I have a very strange problem atm.
I'm trying the JNDI Resources example on tomcat.
My test.jsp page looks like this:
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" language="java" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/sql" prefix="sql" %>
<html>
<head>
<title>DB Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Results</h2>
<c:out value="${1+2+3}"/>
<sql:query var="rs" dataSource="jdbc/JavaTest">
select id, foo, bar from testdata
</sql:query>
<c:out value="${rs.rowCount}"/>
<c:forEach var="row" items="${rs.rows}">
Foo ${row.foo}
Bar ${row.bar}
</c:forEach>
<br>
</body>
</html>
The output of this page is this:
Results
${1+2+3} ${rs.rowCount} Foo ${row.foo}
Bar ${row.bar}
As you can see these expressions are just written out to the browser and they are not being evaluated.
The problem is not with tomcat itself because other jsp's without database access work perfectly.

I've included the jstl.jar and standard.jar from the jstl package in the WEB-INF/lib directory, also the mysql-connector-java.jar (JDBCDriver) is included in the web-inf/lib directory.
Here is the logfile, which might contain the answer to my problem: (I removed the ResourceRef specification because it's exactly the same as in the context.xml file)
2004-09-29 13:45:01 NamingContextListener[Catalina/localhost/DBTest]: Resource parameters for jdbc/JavaTest = ResourceParams[]
2004-09-29 13:45:01 NamingContextListener[Catalina/localhost/DBTest]: Adding resource ref jdbc/JavaTest
2004-09-29 13:45:01 NamingContextListener[Catalina/localhost/DBTest]: ResourceRef[............]
2004-09-29 13:45:01 NamingContextListener[Catalina/localhost/DBTest]: Resource parameters for UserTransaction = null

Can somebody help me with this. I've been looking for a sollution for hours.
I've been having problems setting up the jdbc-driver also, but I think this is solved now with these deployment descriptors. I don't have a single clue what is going on right now.
${} expression are simple NOT being evaluated.
I don't think it's a database problem because I can see the user connections in the mysql monitor.
Any ideas? All help is welcome and very much appreciated. :-)
THANKS !!!
PS: sorry for the extreme long post, I wanted to post all relevant information to track this strange behaviour down.

Seems to be a problem with your web.xml not pointing to version 2.4.

Smartforms: SFSY-FORMPAGES = star very strange

Hi,
I have a very strange problem:
In a smartform i use as usually &SFSY-PAGE&/&SFSY-FORMPAGES& for numer of pages/total pages.
If the spool has less than ten pages all is right, if it has greater than ten pages (in the example 14) i get that:
1/*
2/*
3/*
4/*
5/*
6/*
7/*
8/*
9/*
10/14
11/14
12/14
13/14
14/14
I don't understand why.
I tried to increase the space for window but nothing changes.
Please, help me.
Matteo Vernile.

Use &SFSY-PAGE& of &SFSY-FORMPAGES(4ZC)& instead of the &SFSY-PAGE&/&SFSY-FORMPAGES&.
This will not print astrik upto 9999 pages.
REgards,
Naimesh Patel

Very strange bug with my Apple Wired Keyboard

I have a very strange issue with my Apple Keyboard.
Sometimes my Apple Keyboard stopped working at my MacBook Pro Retina 15 inch late 2013. I doesn't give any input at all in all the usb ports. The strange thing is when I connect the Apple Keyboard extension cable it worked again and I can disconnect the extension cable and plug it back in with only the cable from the keyboard itself and it works as well. This happened every 2 to 3 months to me. It only happens when my MacBook is in sleep mode and I wake it up.
Can somebody please help me. What when I lose the Apple Extension cable?

Yes, a USB extension cable with a male and female end will work.
example: Amazon.com: Belkin USB Extension Cable (10-Feet): Electronics

Very Strange- Mail changes all dates after two days

I have a very strange behavior:
Apple Mail changes the date-information of incoming and outgoing mails after about two days -
for the first two days it says "today" or "yesterday" after that it changes all dates to one single date (december 12.2009 and some to december 12.2010).
I just put in a new pram battery, so this cannot be the problem.
what the heck is this?

Hi Noe, do you have anything in Rules that is set to happen after 2 days?
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup

Very strange Arch Problem

I have a very strange problem with Arch. I know the title isn't very descriptive, but i don't have a quick, short way to say this:
I love Arch. I use it as a "secondary OS" and other than the times when i'm playing with other distros to see how they've changed, i'm in Arch on my devel system and a few others....However, i still use Debian (Testing) as my desktop/laptop/primary PC OS. For the longest time (probably well over a year), i could not figure out why i could not bring myself to use Arch as my primary OS.
About 2 days ago, i finally had a epiphany (Well...someone smacked me with a CD-R containing the source for the Epiphany Browser, but that's besides the point). The reason i can't use Arch as a primary desktop is because in Arch, i'm too tempted to play with stuff, play with new apps, break stuff, etc and like most people (probably), on my main Desktop, i want stuff to work...I don't want to be breaking things on a weekly basis.
I was wondering if anyone else has this problem or if people could give me some advice as to how to get over it or something.

Maybe someone somewhere should create some sort of "Arch Linux updaters anonymous". "Hi, my name is jdhore and I update my system daily" (others reply:) "Hi jdhore..".
All joking aside, come on, admit it, you don't actually have a problem, you just wanted some Arch Linux community love -- nothing wrong with that, mind you -- it's why I'm here too. "I'm afraid to buy a car because I might be tempted to drive it off a cliff." .. you'd have to have some *serious* problems in order for stuff like that to be credible.
Don't want to break stuff: then don't. Just keep telling yourself that the cake is a lie.
dude...That's exactly why i don't have a car...

Very strange problem w/ iTunes PC

Well, I have a very strange problem - I added some music to my iTunes and when I was changing the informations and cover, my iTunes crashed. When I restarted the program, the album is missing and when I found it on my hard drive, I am not able to import it back to the iTunes. This happens with both Import from the menu and the classic Drag/Drop method. So what to do? Is there any way to get it back?
EDIT: Tried to move the files to another folder. Didn't work though.

I just found the problem lies with iTunes 7.0.
I ran the sames songs (ones with problem) into iTunes 4.7.1, with MSN messenger (same version)'s song display selected.....the song title/artist displayed and it did not get kicked out!!!!
If it's not my 80gig iPod.......I would not have gotten iTunes 7.0!!!!!!!

I have a very strange situation...
