In state of crisis viz a viz Eudora and Lion, please help

I have been using Eudora 4-ever, and depend on it completely. It came as a SHOCK after I bought a new MacBook Air with Lion to find out that I cannot run Eudora on it. I have had my Air for a month now without using it yet because I don't know what to do. As I see it my options are:
1) Try to zap Lion and put Snow Leopard on the Air. But I understand this may not work, although it might be my first choice.
2) Get Mailforge or Eudora OSE to replace my Eudora, but in checking out reviews nobody seems very happy with them.
3) Migrate to the Lion version of Apple Mail. This sounds like it might be ok, EXCEPT, many people note connection issues with their ISPs, and say that Apple Mail is much slower than the others to send and receive mail from their ISPs. Because I spend half of my time traveling for work in Third World countries with s-l-o-w internet connections, I wonder if Apple Mail will drive me nuts with dropped connections, no connection at all, or very very slow operations.
WHAT SHOULD I DO? I need advice. I am even thinking of returning my Air and forgetting about the whole thing.
Experiences and advice will be appreciated.

I had to confront the same reality after using the work horse Eudora since 1995. This was my last PPC app and it was like a hit below the belt.
Six months before the launch of Lion I started experimenting in a sandbox (bootclone) preparing for the switch.
I researched and tried many many alternatives including the new Eudora projects that came along. In the end the only contender was Mailforge, however very dissappointing in its lack of progress, functionality and woefully unimpressed with its updates and progress.
In a safe environment I experimented no less than 3 or 4 different imports to Mail in a fresh bootclone environment. Everytime I learned something new about how to best import and loose the least amount, refining the import process.
Finally committed myself just two weeks prior to Lion's release. I will have to say I am very happy with Mail. True you do not have all that Eudora offered- there is no comparision to this old work horse mail client.
There are a few important resources:
https://itservices.stanford.edu/service/emailcalendar/email/eudoramigration/maco sxmail
http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Eudora_Mailbox_Cleaner.html
I still have a functional bootclone of OS X Snow Leoprard with Eudora as a backup if I need something from the archives. So far I have not needed to rely on this backup.
The conclusion for me, best bet was to move to Apples built in Mail. It is a good feeling knowing I can move forward with confidence in upgrading OS as they come at me without reservation. Yes there are a few things I miss like RR but in reality this is not a well supported protocal across the board anyway.
The only bug that chap's my cheeks is the lack of paper clip attachments in the sent box (a known issue.)
Luckly there was a recent work around that is a beautiful relief.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18199533#18199533
Good luck and post back your final resolve!
I have had NO problems with connection issues or being slow? like you mention above.

Query Prepared Statement Does NOT Return ANY Values !URGENT! PLEASE HELP...

Hi,
Please help me in the following.I'm desperate...
I'm using PreparedStatement to do multiple queries in the same Table of a Database(ACCESS).
The rows of the Table look i.e like this :
(TABLE NAME == PERSONS)
PERSON_INDEX__TIME_PERIOD_________SPORT
1_______________1________________Basketball
1_______________2________________Football
1_______________3________________Tennis
2_______________1________________Something
I populate my PreparedStatement using something like :
java.sql.PreparedStatement st = con.createPreparedStatement("SELECT SPORT FROM PERSONS WHERE PERSON_INDEX=? AND TIME_PERIOD=?");
Now, when I do something like :
try
st.setInt(1,1);
st.setInt(2,1);
st.addBatch();
}catch(SQLException e){}
st.executeQuery();
ResultSet results = st.getResultSet();
while ( results.next() )
System.out.println("->"+results.getString("SPORT"));
I trully get as output :
->BasketBall
But when I populate it some more :
try
st.setInt(1,1);
st.setInt(2,1);
st.addBatch();
//***Query some more***
st.setInt(1,1);
st.setInt(2,2);
st.addBatch();
}catch(SQLException e){}
... and I execute I DON'T GET :
->BasketBall
->Football
but NOTHING!!! - the ResultSet HAS NO ROWS
This thing is driving me mad.
Can you please help me out?
Please post the code if neccessary...

There is something wrong in your understanding of batching the statements. Basically you will add either update or insert or delete statements to your batch.
If you add a select statement, it will throw 'java.sql.BatchUpdateException: invalid batch command'. And moreover 'st.executeBatch()' is the method you need to invoke.
If you don't execute the batch using 'executeBatch()' method then, it must throw the exception,
'java.sql.SQLException: error occurred during batching: batch must be either executed or cleared'.
You need to rework on your code, I believe.

Every time I try to view the music tab on iTunes it states an error: new null response. Can someone please help?

Hi,
Could someone kindly please help with my iTunes Store error? When attempting to view the music tab on iTunes store on my iPad 3 states the following error: new null response and cannot connect to iTunes Store.
It's extremely annoying as I only bought a new album yesterday and its suddenly got an error. I can use the films and tv programmes tabs which is strange, so its only the music tab not working. I have tried everything from other websites and blogs but nothing is working for me.
I hope someone can help?
Thanks

Hello there Mattspur,
I recommend sections 1, 3, and 5 of the iPad Troubleshooting Assistant found here http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/ipad/. If you get to section 3 I suggest closing ALL the apps.
Here is section 1 to get you starrted:
Restart iPad
To restart iPad, first turn iPad off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPad will turn off after a few moments.
Next, turn iPad on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Is iPad not responding? To reset iPad, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If your device does not turn on or displays a red battery icon, try recharging next.
IF that does not resolve the issue, I would take a look at these articles next.

Please Help ! Exception in closing resultset,statement.

In an application developed on , i am closing the resultsets and statements in finally block as
finally {
if (resultset != null) resultset .close();
if (statement != null) statement.close();
the above block does not take care of exceptions that might arise while closing resultset/statement. Please help with this:
what the conditions exceptions may arise in closing resultset/statements.
when does the garbage collector free such resources and what are the implications of not catching exception while closing - can this cause database handle leaks.
Please help!

I don't know what exceptions might occur, but since the close() method can throw SQLException, your program has to catch it. Maybe if you close twice, the second time will throw an exception? Anyway, it doesn't really matter, you still have to write a try-catch around it. What you do there is up to you -- you could ignore it (which is what I do) or you could end the program with a message.
When does the garbage collector free those resources? The garbage collector only frees memory. Nothing else. And the garbage collector will free a ResultSet object only when there are no references to it anywhere in your program. That doesn't mean just in code that you wrote, but anywhere in code that's running in your program. For example, the Statement object that produced the ResultSet might hold a reference to it. However, the API documentation for ResultSet does say that when the garbage collector does free a ResultSet object, it will automatically close it.
However, the best practice is to close ResultSet and Statement objects when you are finished with them, and not rely on garbage collection to clean up after you.

How can i open a PDF bank statement in numbers so that the rows and columns contain properly aligned data from statement?

how can i open a PDF bank statement in "numbers" so that the rows and columns contain properly aligned data from statement?

Numbers can store pdfs pages or clippings but does not directly open pdf files. To get the bank statement into Numbers as a table I would open the bank statment in Preview (or Skim) or some pdf viewer.
Then hold the option key while selecting a column of data.
Then copy
Then switch to numbers and paste the column into a table
Then repeat for the other columns in the pdf document
It would be easier (in my opinion) to download the QFX or CSV version from your bank

Thanks,

And BTW you do not need that clumsy CURSOR c.. OPEN c.. FETCH c INTO... CLOSE c etc. It is "reserved" for more complex cases when you cannot use:
<pre>
FOR P IN
     select Process_template_name
          from ProcessTemplate

                         (select process_instance_id
                              from processinstance
                              where STATUS = 'PI_COMPLETED'
                                   OR STATUS = 'PI_REMOVED'
LOOP
     EXECUTE IMMEDIATE

Please help: Case Statement - ORA-01722: invalid number Error

Hi All,
I'm trying to use Case statement to recode Cancelled statuses into two groups
'Reject' if the difference between first date and last date is less than 29 and
'Accept' if the difference between first date and last date is greater than 30
Here is my 'test' data:
STATUS     FIRST_DATE     LAST_DATE
Transfer     10/08/2011     10/09/2011
Mover     10/08/2011     15/09/2011
Cancel     10/08/2011     16/09/2011
Cancel     10/08/2011     5/09/2011
Here is the syntax
select a.*,
(CASE WHEN a.STATUS ='Cancel' THEN (round(a.LAST_DATE-a.FIRST_DATE))
ELSE 0
END) CAN_DAYS,
(CASE WHEN 'CAN_DAYS' >29 THEN 'Reject'
WHEN 'CAN_DAYS' <30 THEN 'Accept'
END) Reject_Accept
from test a
The first CASE statement works fine and gives me this
STATUS     FIRST_DATE     LAST_DATE     CAN_DAYS
Transfer     10/08/2011     10/09/2011     0
Mover     10/08/2011     15/09/2011     0
Cancel     10/08/2011     16/09/2011     37
Cancel     10/08/2011     5/09/2011     26
but the second CASE produces ORA-01722: invalid number Error. It is something to do with the CAN_DAYS data type, Oracle doesn't see it as Numeric i think.
The result i want to see would be
STATUS     FIRST_DATE     LAST_DATE     CAN_DAYS Reject_Accept
Transfer     10/08/2011     10/09/2011     0
Mover     10/08/2011     15/09/2011     0
Cancel     10/08/2011     16/09/2011     37 Accept
Cancel     10/08/2011     5/09/2011     26 Reject
Could someone please help me to fix the syntax?
Thank you in advance,

I can no longer print to the 3 Canon printers on my local area network. The print dialog box states that the print file is accepted and the job is printing, but the files never print. Everything worked when the computer and printers were initially set up.

Hi Samantha,
Are you aware that if you restore your ipad that you will lose all data from your ipad and very difficult to get it back unless you had previously made a back-up of your data on itunes or in the cloud. and that would be on the computer you set those up on. (There are some independent apps out there that might help restore data but I don't have any experience with them...)
Also, I think if you restore on another computer you're supposed to have administrator rights and have the latest itunes update. And I think if you sync (if restoring is considered syncing with another computer, you'll be locked out of your computer or a new one.)
I don't know if there is a way for you to safely eject your ipad from your mom's laptop and find another way, but please read this
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1275
Also, I suggest you start a new post and title it something like First, stuck on update and now on Restore on another computer. Please HELP! And then tell the story of your problem that you originally included and your follow-up efforts to restore given a suggestion on previous post (though I think you SHOULD AVOID RSTORE if you can.) And refer them to your original post
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22050045?ac_cid=tw123456#22050045
Hope this helps and if you can get back to your ios before the upgrade, stay with it. I hope it all works out for you.
FYI - If it's a new or refurb bought within the past year you might be able to have it replaced by Apple.
