Importing Hotspot MAC address to PDA J2ME application??

This is my Problem:
Final Year Project. Using J2ME to write an application for a Pocket PC. Part of the application is to display details of the area of a building that the PDA is currently in, eg Floor Number. I do this by extracting the MAC address of the nearest Hotspot and then use this MAC address to determine which part of the building the PDA is in. (Building details stored in database)
I can extract the MAC address of the nearest Hotspot using mini-netstumbler.
My problem is how do I export this MAC address to my application. I'm new to this side of programming so any ideas greatfully appreciated.
Cheers!!!!!!

How are you getting the MAC address at the moment, I don't think J2ME has access to this information.

  • Possible to import new mac address vendor code translation list in WCS 6?

    Is it possible to import new (IEEE) vendor code list to get correct information regarding clients MAC-addresses? There are too many client vendor codes reported as "Unknown" lately......
    Running 6.0.196.0.
    /jonas

    What is the mac address of the vendor OUI? Every new release of WCS contains the latest MAC vendor OUI so upgrading to WCS 7.0.164.3 should update the vendor's info.
    If its a new device, please post the mac address, device, and vendor.

  • How can I import my .mac address book from online to my computer?

    My macbook was stolen last week, and I am now using an older iBook that we had, but I haven't been able to retrieve my mail address book from the backups I was making. I have most of the contacts in my address book when using .mac web-based email, but not on my computer. I am afraid to turn on syncing because I don't want my computer to erase all the addresses stored online. How can I reverse sync, and get my online address book to import to my computer?
    Thanks.

    go to 'system prefernces > .Mac > advanced > reset sync data'
    Then choose to replace everything on your compu with .Mac data. (Back up before you begin! or is there really nothing to back up, then don't bother of course)

  • Unable to import Mac address book

    I am unable to import my Mac Address Book into Thunderbird.
    In thunderbird, I have gone to tools>import>address book>text file . Address Book is not highlighted, so I am not able to choose it.
    I have also tried to export it from Address Book. In Address Book I have also gone to file>export>export Group vCard, and it's the same porblem, Address Book is not highlighted, so I am not able to choose it.
    What am I missing? Can someone please help?

    I just installed MFFAB 0.7 in a test profile of TB 31.1.1 with no problems, but on Win 7. Perhaps there is an issue installing it on the Mac OS, in which case I would contact the add-on author. Almost all add-ons can be installed on Win, OSX or Linux.
    Otherwise, what happens if you open TB Address Book, Tools/Import, select Address Books, then vCard file, then select the .vcf file created from Mail app?

  • Deny handhelds by MAC address??

    Hi,
    We have a couple of WLAN's here at our school.
    One for handhelds only (hidden SSID PDA) with WPA2, another for all guests with Web authentication.(SSID Hotspot)
    Now some of the handhelds are connecting by themselves to the Hotspot wireless network, but their apps won't work correct through the hotspot network.
    We want to block the handhelds on the Hotspot WLAN i.e by MAC address.
    How can we do that ??
    Can't seem to find it in the manual..

  • Airport Utility and MAC addresses - Leopard

    Hello,
    I recently upgraded to Leopard from Tiger, and cannot stress how much I hate this new Airport Utility. It's like Apple tried to simplify the process so much so that it is bordering on extremely annoying. My biggest problem is the removal of the ability to import/export MAC address access lists (.txt file). Lately, I've had to hard reset my AirPort Extreme and Express (as WDS) base stations a few times due to problems, and let me tell you, re-inputting 14 MAC addresses one by one into each base station can be pretty annoying due to the time it takes...especially when all I had to do before was import it from my documents folder.
    Why was this feature removed...? I just don't get it. It's such a simple thing and makes life so much easier. I was wondering if anyone knows a way around this? Is it possible to use or install the Aiport Admin Utility from Tiger onto Leopard so that can get this feature back?
    Many thanks.

    You can download Airport Admin Utility 4.2.5 from Versiontracker: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/15748
    It's supposed to run under Leopard. My version (4.1.1) runs just fine for me but I stopped using it after Airport Utility came out. I didn't notice they removed the MAC import / export feature until reading your post.

  • How can I import iPhone contacts into Mac Address book

    I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and am in the process of trying to dump my Windows PC.
    All of my important contacts are on my iPhone. How can I get those contacts into my Mac Address Book?
    The same question goes for the music (ripped from CD) and my video files that are on my iPhone? The media is not that big of a deal because I can easily transfer it from my PC to my Mac but I assume I am not the only one in the world trying to do this and that Apple would make it very easy for MSFT Windows users to easily migrate to Macs.
    I must be an idiot but I don't see any option in iTunes to transfer the data from my iPhone into iTunes and/or the Address Book.
    Thanks

    The iPhone's primary function is NOT a word processor or a spread sheet analyzer.
    I didn't say, nor was I trying to imply ANYTHING of the sort. You should read what I provided again a little slower and in it's entirety, not taking this out of context, which you made into Apples and Oranges.
    It IS an iPod, a device designed to store and play music (in addition to being a browser and a phone).
    It is a phone, an iPod, and an internet device, which supports transferring iTunes content from iTunes on a single computer ONLY.
    Making it difficult to transfer my legal music from my iPhone to my Mac does not make me want to go out and buy more Apple products or Apple software.
    Good, then don't - no skin off my back. I couldn't care less if you want to remain a Windows sufferer. All this doesn't come from Apple. Much of it comes from those who OWN the distribution rights for content sold thru the iTunes Store.
    All of Apple's commercials imply how easy the user experience is over Windows. Well, in this case, they missed the boat BIG TIME!
    Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but let me get this straight. You will likely need to transfer much more than just music from your Windows PC to your Mac and if so, how do you plan on accomplishing this? If you are transferring Word and Excel files, photos, and any other data, you won't be using an iPhone for this, so I don't see the big deal with transferring your iTunes library along with all other data being transferred.
    I understand that the iPhone was not designed to be used as a backup. However, you allow the contacts to be merged in but not the music that I legally installed (but didn't purchase from the iTunes store).
    I don't allow anything - this is a user to user help forum only.
    As I provided in my first post in this thread - the sync process for contact information, calendar events, and bookmarks with an iPhone is bidirectional with the supported application on your computer. This is a sync process by definition of syncing - which is not the same for other data such as iTunes content and photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
    Apple wants to make it difficult unless I purchased the music from iTunes.
    No, Apple or really those who own the distribution rights or the copyright holders for content sold thru the iTunes Store wants to make this difficult. Content sold thru the iTunes Store is set up by Apple to be a break even - which is included with the Apple stockholder's report. Apple makes their profit via sales of the iPod and iPhone. The bulk of the iTunes Store revenue goes to those who own the distribution rights or the copyright holders for the content.
    In addition, if my hard disk suffered a crash and I lost all my music it just seems stupid not to be able to pull it off my iPhone (yes, I know data should be backed up on a different drive, and mine is, but I am sure a lot of people do not back up their data).
    Maintaining a backup of your data is important for this very reason, and for other reasons which is not Apple's responsibility. I believe iTunes includes an occasional warning message to backup your iTunes library (which can be turned off), and iTunes includes an option to transfer content purchased from the iTunes Store from an iPod or iPhone - since the overwhelming majority of this content includes DRM protection required by those who own the distribution rights or the copyright holders.
    The iPhone was not designed as an external storage device or as a backup device - end of story. If someone chooses not to maintain a backup, they are playing Russian roulette with their data. Maintaining a backup is important regardless the platform, but even more so when running Windows with constant virus, adware, and spyware concerns.

    On windows XP or linux have a MAC adress Change function  allow 00 mac adress and another normal mac adress range.On windows 8.1 all Mac changer program dont work.This 2,6,A,E on second adress are not vaild Mac adress. You simply can not use normal MAC
    addresses on windows 8.1.When i connect the usb the Pc windows 8.1 recognizes the adapter but the default  driver and the downloaded ralink driver the same problem.On windows xp the current driver works perfectly have (Local Mac Network Adress) funktion
    and works with the 802.11b hot spot.I got the internet my PC and laptop too public HotSpots and another wifi HotSpots if wont work correctly i can not use neither the windows 7,8,8.1 or 10. Many users have expressed interest in the problem more forums.
    The 3. problem im tested in virtualbox the windows 7 and 8.1 on 8.1 (on the blue wifi platform) not show correctly the signal strengh. On windows 7 show this correctly.The windows 7-8.1 Configure/advanced the advanced options on Ralink 3070 the default (windows
    driver) somehow downgraded function is less than for Xp. Configure/advanced the advanced options (needs to be upgraded in the future) because it does not advance but rather regressed.
    Today it is very common these wi-fi technology increasingly used (hotels,Public Hots Spots,Internet coffe,) growing free bublic wifi projects. The wifi funktions on windows  need debugging and modernize.The quality of Wi-Fi is now the operating system
    is now a thing order which is not good then the operating system is unusable.

    Hi,
    For changing the MAC address for Windows 7 is designed with some limitation, we cannot get over it. Thanks for your understanding.
    Under Windows 7, the possible range of spoofed addresses for wireless adapters that can be set is limited.  To be used by Windows 7, a spoofed MAC address should have 0 as a least significant bit (unicast) and 1 as a second least significant
    bit (locally administered) in the second nibble.  Thus possible values for the second nibble are limited to 2, 6, A and E.
    In other words 
    MAC address:  “XY-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX” “X” can be anything hexadecimal.  The hexadecimal “Y”, written in binary format, is  Y:  “kmnp”,  where “p” is the least significant bit; 
    p=0 --> unicast;
    p=1 --> multicast;
    n=0 --> globally assigned MAC;
    n=1 --> locally administered;
    So, actually MAC can be changed  to any combination in which p=0 and n=1;
    “Y” can be 2, 6, A or E.
    So the possible MAC addresses in Windows 7 for wireless adapters:
    X2-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
    X6-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
    XA-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
    XE-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
    For the wifi hotspot issue, please check this blog to see if it can be helpful.

  • Is it possible to import and display/plot (Google Earth) KML files as overlays in Mac OS 10.9 Maps application?

    Is it possible to import and display/plot (Google Earth) KVM files as overlays in Mac OS 10.9 Maps application?
    Here is the particular application: (note I haven't gotten the code to compile yet -- seems to be several differently named environment variables in Mac unix than in Linux that are making the compile blow up -- but that's another issue) there is a freeware application that can do radio path loss prediction and plot path loss contours on a map. It has an option to output the data as KML files which can be imported into Google Earth, in order to display the path loss contours on Google Earth maps. I guess you could liken it to displaying overlays of GIS-like data in Google Earth. I would like to know if there is a mechanism to facilitate importing KML data files to overlay (preferably in a translucent fasion so that you could see the underlying map) onto Mac OS 10.9 Maps?

    As I stated, "possibly."
    While the commerce side of it has little to do with the KML files, per se, the API for the layer data should allow for any type of overlay.

  • Importing Netscape's address book into Apple's Address Book application

    I want to import my email Netscape email address book into Apple's Address Book application. So I open the Address Book application and select import from the pull down menu. That brings up three choices, vCards, LDIF and Text. I previously had saved my Netscape address book as a pdf file. So I selected, Text. A window appeared from which I was to select where I wanted to get the file from. I made selections until I got to where my pdf file was and selected it. But I got the following error message.
    The file you selected does not appear to be a valid comma separated values (csv) file nor a valid tab delimited file, please choose another file.
    So I tried again and this time I selected LDIF, but when the file in my Netscape Users Profile that would appear to be my address book came up, it was “greyed out” and I could not select it. The file had the name “abook.mab”. It is not an LDIF file. There are no LDIF files in my profile.
    So I tried selecting vCards, but I got the exact same results as above. The file that looks like it is my address book, is grayed out and cannot be selected.
    So I went into Netscape to see if I could export my address book into Apple’s Address Book. I chose export from the Netscape menu and a window opened asking me to select where I wanted to export the file to. But when I got to Apple’s Address Book application, it was greyed out and could not be selected. The same thing happened when I tried to select Apple’s Mail program.
    I have about three hundred email addresses in my Netscape address book. If these addresses have to be manually entered into Apple's Address Book, I will not make the switch to Apple's Mail program.

    Netscape's Address Book window does not have that option. The Export option is under the Tools menu, but does not give you any options in the Tools menu. Once you select Export, the Export Address Book window opens. This window does have a format option where you can select either LDIF, Comma Separated or Tab Delimited. But it doesn't matter which of those I select, Apple's Address Book and Mail applications are not available for selection.

  • Importing .csv or .tab files into MAC Address Book

    Trying to get my MS Outlook Contacts onto my new MAC but for some reason the MAC address book will not recognize the .csv or .txt files that outlook generates in its Export process.  I've opened the files in excel and in Numbers and they look fine - the MAC just doesn't like them for some reason.
    Anyone out there encounter this problem and possibly have a solution?

    There are converters available, online or downloadable so get one, export a .csv, convert it to .vcf and import that.

  • Question about importing from mac mail to folder in address book

    Is it possible to place imported email addresses (Mac email) into specific folder(s) in Address Book rather than into just the All Folder.? For example, I have several business addresses that I want to import from Mac Mail automatically into my Business Folder and several others that I want to go into Friends Folder. Can this be done? If so how? Thanks

    The Address Book database is similar to the iTunes database and iPhoto database.
    If you use iTunes then you know you can't place a song in a playlist without the song being in the primary iTunes database first and the same with iPhoto. You can't place a photo in an album with the photo being in the main iPhoto library first.
    The same with Address Book. You can't place a contact in an Address Book group without the contract being in the primary Address Book "All" Group and I'm not aware of a way to place a contact in the primary All group and in a designated group at the same time.

    Relax. Your address book database is corrupted.
    If you are syncing your Contacts with MobileMe or something else, disable it for now.
    Backup your address book by going to File>Export>Address Book Archive.
    Quit Address Book.
    Open your Library by holding down the Option (alt) key while selecting the Go menu in Finder. Select Library. Navigate into your Application Support/AddressBook folder and delete the addressbook-v22.abcddb file.
    Open Address Book. It will recreate the database from the raw data.
    See how that works. If it is ok, then reenable syncing and see how that works.
