I Pad 2 set up problem

Help Please! my son has given me an ipad 2 set up on his new imac, however when I connect it to my old imac G4 running tiger message states that I must update itunes to 10.1 on my iMac, is a solution possible without expensive updates?

I too am a silver surfer ... this will prove it to you. I misread your post as .... my son gave me an iPad2 to set up for him .... instead of he set it up for you on his new iMac. I was thinking (seeing incorrectly as I was reading your post) that your son asked you to set up the iPad for him.
Hence my reply about ... let him do it himself. My "old brain and aging eyes" ain't what they used to be! You may still be able to upgrade your Mac if you want to spend the money for the software upgrade -- but I say - from one silver surfer to another - buy a new iMac --- we only go around once!
All the best whatever you decide to do!

Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.

Oracle to Mysql character set conversion problem!!! PLZ IGNORE

Hi Experts,
I have created a database link from Oracle 10g to Mysql 5.

It is OK to post a globalization-related question in this forum in addition to the forum pertaining to the main technology. Not all experts follow all possible forums on OTN. Of course, you should cross-link the posts to let people merge the answers.
Regarding the problem itself, make sure that SQL*Plus has the right NLS_LANG setting in the environment. On Windows, in the Command Prompt:

An odd set of problems - full re-install fail

Hello helpful computer people
I have a funny set of problems which has culminated in me wanting to fully reinstall operating software. I will explain why I want to do this in a minute, but the main problem is that I can't manage to do it! When I boot up my mac from the startup disk I get a messed up display. The information is obviously all there on the screen, but it's displayed in weird jagged lines. This means that I can't make out where to click to continue with the installation. I also though that the disk drive was being particularly clunky sounding, but could be imagining that.
You can see what I mean here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/33449131@N02/7160853520/in/photostream
The problems up to this point have been really odd, with applications one by one stopping responding and finder crashing. Also the computer will sometimes not go to sleep when closed and the fan will go a bit mad. I have had particular problems with browsers crashing and generally the computer grinding to a halt with nothing but the off button having any effect.
I have tried loads of stff - reseting P ram, repairing disks, running cleanups on Onyx, removing programmes etc.
I want to go back to square one because things are getting a bit messy, it won't let me reinstall Safari becuase it thinks it's already there, but It doesn't show up on search!
I tried reinstalling Snow Leopard but realised that didn't really do much and am now going down the route of putting the original install disk in. I bought there computer second hand btw, so there is a possibility that the install disks are wrong, although unlikely because the guy was trustworthy.
Thanks in advance for all your help

Brand new IPad 3 out of the box - set up problem with Apple ID

Brand new iPad 3 out of the box - set up problem. It says my Apple ID (email address) is already being used. I reset the password successfully but still says I need another Apple ID. Why won't the ID recornize me?

Open current iTunes on your computer. Connect iPhone to the computer with the Lightning USB Cable. Hold both the Home and Power buttons for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes the iPhone in Recovery Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes. If still problem, make Genius reservation or set up Sevice and take or send to Apple for resolution under Warranty.

Set up problems

Hi all,
I've bought a new MacBook air but I can't get past the first set up window because it doesn't recognise it's own keyboard. Can anyone please help me?
To begin with the track pad didn't work either so I plugged in a mouse, and selected the language. The demo music starts but then it notifies me that there is no keyboard connected to the computer, in the same window at the bottom it is performing a search for it and stating that it is unable to find a keyboard.
I will be performing the set up from my old Mac. It is on of the White MacBooks (Mac OS 10.4.11).
Please help me.
PS: Happy New Year to all of you.

You should not be having this problem. I would take it into a Genius Bar to have it diagnosed. I don't see how a PRAM or SMC reset would necesarily do anything in this area, but you may want to give it a try beforehand.

Remote not working. network set up problem

okay... The remote app is not working.
I have installed it on my phone and successfully made it work both on my computer and on the computer in the mac store. So i know the iphone is not the problem. The problem is I had to set up a temporary network on my computer. I want to get the current network configured correctly to work with the iphone remote app.
Here is what is happening:
i open up remote, choose my library, the code comes up for me to enter. but itunes does not find my iphone.
Both the phone and the comp are using a wi-fi network from my router. It is password protected, both have the password installed in them. When i check system prefs on both they are using the same network.
When i went into the apple store, it instantly recognized my iphone and was able to set up the remote there.
On my own computer I can set up a secondary network and it works there. To so that I went to the airport icon on the top right, the pull down menu has "create network" as an option. I created a new network and THAT network used the remote app. But when i restart the computer that network is deleted.
What is configured incorrectly in my main wi-fi network that is not allowing the remote the be recognized?
I know the questions are going to come up:
i have itunes 8
iphone firmware is updated.
both have been reinstalled.
in itunes i do have the "accept remote" button clicked. i tried resetting it but it said it could not remove remotes since none were recognized yet.
I think that covers all the info i have on the problem. I really appreciate everyone's help on here. thanks!
gjclimer is online now Report Post Edit/Delete Message

I'm having this problem also and I'm in the process of reseting everything. I have tried turning iPod touch on/off, reinstalling the remote app and closing/opening iTunes.
Two things to check:
1. Go to View, Preferences, Sharing and make sure iTunes is set to share your library. Sometimes turning this on for the first time you connect the remote solves the problem and you can then turn it off again once it's working.
2. Make sure your wireless devices (everything connected to your wireless router) are on the same network as the computer you are trying to connect to. I have a main wired router going into my PC and use Airport Express as a wireless extender (basically plugging it into the router to beam the internet access out to wifi devices) and originally the main router put my PC on one network (172.x.x.x) whilst my wireless devices were on a different one (255.x.x.x), so the two devices couldn't see eachother. The way to solve this problem is to tell your wireless router to act as a 'bridge' under the wireless router's settings, which will extend the network of your wired router, rather than create a whole new one.
I'm not sure either of those will help but it's worth a go. I'll let you know if I solve the problem at my end and how I did it.

Using Calendar.set() method problem

Hi all,
First of all sorry to bother with such a trivial(?) matter but I cannot solve it by myself.
I have a piece of code which I simply want to handle the current date with the GregorianCalendar object so that the date would be set to the Calendar.SUNDAY (of the current week). Simple enough?
Code as follows:
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
public class Foo
public static void main(String[] args)
     Foo foo = new Foo();
     Date newdate = foo.bar();
public Date bar()
     GregorianCalendar m_calendar = new GregorianCalendar(new Locale("fi","FI"));
     m_calendar.setFirstDayOfWeek(Calendar.MONDAY);
     Date newDate = null;
     try
          m_calendar.setTime(new Date());
          System.out.println("Calendar='" + m_calendar.toString() + "'");
          m_calendar.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, Calendar.SUNDAY);
          SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy.MM.dd");
          StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
          sdf.format(m_calendar.getTime(), sb, new FieldPosition(0));
          System.out.println("Date in format (" + sdf.toPattern()          + ") = '" + sb.toString() + "'");
     catch(Exception e)
          e.printStackTrace();
     return m_calendar.getTime();
This should work at least accoring to my understanding of the SDK documentation as follows with
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1_01-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1_01-b01, mixed mode)
Calendar='java.util.GregorianCalendar[time=1054636838494,areFieldsSet=true,areAllFieldsSet=true,lenient=true,zone=sun.util.calendar.ZoneInfo[id="Europe/Helsinki",offset=7200000,dstSavings=3600000,useDaylight=true,transitions=118,lastRule=java.util.SimpleTimeZone[id=Europe/Helsinki,offset=7200000,dstSavings=3600000,useDaylight=true,startYear=0,startMode=2,startMonth=2,startDay=-1,startDayOfWeek=1,startTime=3600000,startTimeMode=2,endMode=2,endMonth=9,endDay=-1,endDayOfWeek=1,endTime=3600000,endTimeMode=2]],firstDayOfWeek=2,minimalDaysInFirstWeek=4,ERA=1,YEAR=2003,MONTH=5,WEEK_OF_YEAR=23,WEEK_OF_MONTH=1,DAY_OF_MONTH=3,DAY_OF_YEAR=154,DAY_OF_WEEK=3,DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH=1,AM_PM=1,HOUR=1,HOUR_OF_DAY=13,MINUTE=40,SECOND=38,MILLISECOND=494,ZONE_OFFSET=7200000,DST_OFFSET=3600000]'
Date in format (yyyy.MM.dd) = '2003.06.08'
Which is the sunday of this week. But as I run the same code with:
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1.06-020625-14:20)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.3.1 1.3.1.06-JPSE_1.3.1.06_20020625 PA2.0, mixed mode)
Calendar='java.util.GregorianCalendar[time=1054636630703,areFieldsSet=true,areAllFieldsSet=true,lenient=true,zone=java.util.SimpleTimeZone[id=Europe/Helsinki,offset=7200000,dstSavings=3600000,useDaylight=true,startYear=0,startMode=2,startMonth=2,startDay=-1,startDayOfWeek=1,startTime=3600000,startTimeMode=2,endMode=2,endMonth=9,endDay=-1,endDayOfWeek=1,endTime=3600000,endTimeMode=2],firstDayOfWeek=2,minimalDaysInFirstWeek=4,ERA=1,YEAR=2003,MONTH=5,WEEK_OF_YEAR=23,WEEK_OF_MONTH=1,DAY_OF_MONTH=3,DAY_OF_YEAR=154,DAY_OF_WEEK=3,DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH=1,AM_PM=1,HOUR=1,HOUR_OF_DAY=13,MINUTE=37,SECOND=10,MILLISECOND=703,ZONE_OFFSET=7200000,DST_OFFSET=3600000]'
Date in format (yyyy.MM.dd) = '2003.06.01'
Which is sunday of the previous week and incorrect in my opinion. The latter result is run on HP-UX B.11.11 U 9000/800 and first on NT.
Any ideas why this is happening? Thanks in advance!
Greets, Janne

Thanks for your answer!
The problem is that I have to work with this older SDK version. :) But I got it solved by using the roll method with the following syntax:
int delta = [dayToSet] - m_calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
in which the delta is of course the difference (negative or positive to the current day of the week)
and then using the roll call:
m_calendar.roll(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, delta);
which doesn't alter the current week. So this works if someone else has a similar problem with the version 1.3.1

Please help - Time Capsule Set up problems

I bought a Time Capsule almost a year ago at the same time as my iMac, but have only tried to set it up in the last 3 weeks (so its the 6"x6"x1" version). I followed the set up instructions numerous times but kept getting an error message in Airport Utility. I rebooted my broadband and tried the factory reset of the TC.
Eventually I contacted Apple and after repeating everything whilst they were on the phone, they made an appointment for me at the Genius Bar to have the TC checked over. The Apple rep was able to access the TC using the internal Apple network and a normal port but had the same problem I did using the WAN connection so deemed the item faulty and replaced it.
My new TC is exactly the same and this time Apple advised me to ask my BB provider if there were any firmware updates required or reasons why I would be having problems. They also checked that I had the latest iMac software and Airport Utility. BT (my BB provider) went through a series of tests and concluded that my BT Home Hub 3 was faulty and have replaced it.
So now I have a new Home Hub 3 and another new TC and I've still got the same problem. I only want to use the TC for backing up my iMac with Time Machine but Id like to do it wirelessely. Can someone please tell me what I should do next as I can't believe its still down to faulty products.

I have just been watching Internet traffic on my McAfee security software on my BB and it shows that my router and TC both have a green light for access through the firewall, until Airport Utility gets to the point in its routine where it shows 'joining to the TC' and then my router loses access to the Internet and gets a red light as connection lost. Is that normal, and/or does it help diagnose what the problem might be?
