I have been trying to set up Oracle 8i on

I have been trying to set up Oracle 8i on Windows XP. I bought the CD pack ---- Oracle Database 8i for Windows NT/95/98. However I have not been able to get anything to work. For example typing "scott" "tiger" "dba" into SQLPLUS gives me an ORA-12154 error message ie TNS: could not resolve service name. Could someone give me some tips on how to solve this problem please?
Deborah

I tried this but got an ORA-12560 TNS protocol adapter error.
I am now using 9i on XP but still having the same trouble I had before of being unable to use any of the applications.
Thanks in advance for any other suggestions you can offer.
Deborah
Please try not to enter the host name, just enter the "scott" and "tiger" to its designated field.

  • I have been trying to set up icloud on my ipad but nothing is showing up.  what am I doing wrong or where do I look?

    I have been trying to set up icloud on my ipad but after I run the program, nothing shows up on my computer screen or ipad.  Have I left something out?

    Thanks.  That was indeed the problem.  A few hints for others with this problem.  You can only find out that you need to upgrade, and upgrade, by cabling your iPad to your computer.  Then the next Tricky part is making sure you have your iPad purchases saved on your computer.  Then you download the new OS upgrade and you will get a "start up" type of screen on your iPad with a few questions.  Nowhere is there a very good explanation that you want to then go back to your computer and restore your iPad.  I finally did that because there were no other obvious alternatives, though all the warnings made me very nervous.  After the restore command, I synched my iPad and I seem to have everything back, and I can now access iCloud.  maybe I missed some instructions somewhere, but I found this process much more obscure than the usual Apple directions. Thanks for your help!

  • HT4259 I have been trying for hours to extend my Extreme Gen 5 network with an Express Gen 2.  But no matter what I do or try, it doesn't work.  What does happen is my internet gets block somehow when the Express looks like it's set up and 'green' - no in

    I have been trying for hours to extend my Extreme Gen 5 network with an Express Gen 2.  But no matter what I do or try, it doesn't work.  What does happen is my internet gets blocked somehow when the Express is online and looks like it's set up perfect and 'green' - but no internet connection for anything even though the Extreme is green and the modem is good.  Once I disconnect the Express, everything is good again.
    I've tried LAN, WAN, though a switch, direct connect, Extreme set to Extend the network, the Express set to be an extension.  Most of the time I get an error trying to update the Express.  But when it seems to be set up perfect, the entire house can't get to the internet.  Just when it looks right, it is so wrong.
    If anyone can give me exact steps (e.g., "...from the Base Station menu, select the Restore Default Setting option" vice "...just restore the defaults..."), I would greatly appreciate it.  I'm left to the conclusion that the Express is faulty.  I've been using Airport Utility 6.2 from Mountain Lion on one computer and Airport Utility 5.6.1 from Snow Leopard on another computer (the latter give more control while the former just want you to 'forget' the Express).

    I finally got it working.  I was trying to set it up ethernet.  My biggest mistake was when the new Express came on, I did not select 'Continue' - I went straight to manual thinking that I would get the most setup options in manual mode.  So everything I initially tried always resulted in 'wireless'.  Even when I would update or restore default settings, the Express would not completely restart. Or sometimes I would get an error. So most of the time I had to unplug it.  So when it came back up, none of my changes were retained. But there were a lot of times when everything was green and appeared to be fine. But anytime the ethernet cable was plugged in, no more internet.
    So here's the weird part.  When I finally tried 'continue' (vice manual), I would get 4 options.  One would be 'ethernet' extended.  So I would select it, it gave me green lights, all looked good, and still the same problem.  This is when I got frustrated.  I thought I had exhausted all possible combinations.
    But somehow when trying continue again after another restore, I only got 3 options.  One was the same ethernet extended option (can't remember what the missing 4th one was).  And this time it worked - it gave me the big green circle with the checkmark saying it was successful.  I don't know what I did different, but I know now that it won't work if 4 options come up to choose from.  It will work if only 3 options come up.  And success if only verified by the big checkmark.  Had anyone anywhere said the checkmark declaring success is validation, then maybe I wouldn't have gone down so many rabbit holes thinking it should have been successful.
    As for which Airport Utility I prefer, 6.2 looks nice, but it would just ignore the Express and would want me to 'forget' it and would not let me edit it.  Airport Utility 5.6.1 was the one that I ended up using the most and finally had success with.  It still strikes me as odd that there is no manually way to pick ethernet, it can only be choosen following a 'restore defaults', and only from the 3-option list (the 4-option list had the same ethernet choice, but it no worky).
    Thanks for the response.  I really do appreciate it.
    Aiport Extreme Gen5 - internet access and router
    Airport Express Gen2 - connected via ethernet, extending my wireless
    - configured while connect directly to the Extreme, but now on a switch (16-port hub)
    Using Airport 5.6.1
    1) Restore Defaults from Base Station menu
    2) Following restart, Select Continue
    3) Of the 3 option presented, select 'ethernet.... extend network...'
      - if 4 options are present, may not work
    4) Wait for the green circle with the big white checkmark.
    5) Connected Express to the switch where a cable went to other end of house - works.
    Dead-zone went from 2mbps to 24mbps.
    I probably spent 4 hours chasing my tail in anger.  The correct way took about 5 minutes total.
    Thanks again.

    I have the router that my ISP provided and that is connected to a airport extreme base station wirelessly
    That....will not work. The AirPort Extreme must connect to your ISP provided router using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection.
    Once you reset the AirPort Extreme back to factory default settings, make the Ethernet connection, and then reconfigure the AirPort Extreme to create a wireless network.......then......the Time Capsule will be able to wirelessly extend the AirPort Extreme wireless network.
    If you do it this way, you will not be using your ISP provided wireless network at all, so you might want to consider turning off the wireless on the ISP router.....unless you really need a second wireless network for guests, or the kids, etc.

    Good day BenithaK,
    Once you have changed your Apple ID, you need to set it up for use in the various systems such as iTunes, the App Store, etc so it can be used as intended. This article shows how to do that -
    Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID - Apple Support
    To change your iTunes billing information for either Apple ID account, follow the directions in this article -

  • I just purchased the SX60 and have been trying to find the way to change the "startup image".

    I just purchased the SX60 and have been trying to find the way to change the "startup image". I have the SX40, Sx30 SX1 and all allow me to change the startup image and the sounds through MyCamera. When I opened MyCamera, it tells me that it won't work on my model. Does anyone know how to change the startup image? In the menu it gives me the choice to either have it on or off. Thanks so much!

    Looks like Canon has changed what they ship with the newer cameras. My SX50 came with a disc & no paper manual. Because of that I searched the Canon site (USA site) & found the program set you need to download (according to what it says). Now there are different versions based on your operating system so for my search I've chosen Win 8.0 & the program file recommended is

    Need urgent help. I have been trying to resolve this problem to no avail. I am able to preview my sprymenu on my local browsers opera, google crome, and IE but when it is uploaded, the sprymenu squashes to the left hand side.

    Please get your checkbook ready. (Only kidding.)
    Have you ever done a hard factory reset of your Airport Express base? If not, then try it. Push down the reset button with a pen, then keep it depressed as you plug AX into the wall and keep holding it down until the green light blinks 4 times and then turns amber. Then let go. Unplug your broadband modem for a couple of minutes and shut down your Mac. First restart the modem, then the Mac. Use Airport Setup Assistant to set up a new network from scratch.
    In System Prefs > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations drop n drag Airport to the top of the list and deselect all port configurations that you do not use.
    That's a start.

  • I have been trying to update my software for the past 3 hours. It just goes so far and stalls. I've never had this problem before, what am I doing wrong?

    I have been trying to update my iPad2 for the past 3 hours. It just sets there doing very little and says its going to take 9 hours.  What am I doing wrong?  I've never had this problem before.  Also can I update from any other computer? Just in case it is my lap top.

    Do you get any error messages ? If you get a network timeout error when downloading the update then try temporarily turning off all your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed.
    It's best to only update via your own computer, otherwise you risk losing all your iPad's contents - updating to iOS 5 wipes the iPad and then restores your backup. If you having problems downloading the update then you could try downloading the update file via a browser on another computer and then copying that file to your laptop for the actual update .
