IWeb, FTP and too many Macs
I have created a site using iWeb on my MacAir with the assets uploaded to an FTP server through e-noise. I now have a iMac and would like to make changes on the machine, but every time I open iWeb it only allows me to start a new site. I'd like to be able to make changes on my iMac (at home) and on the road (MacAir). Can anyone advise me on how I might go about this please.
Many thanks
Kieron
I use dropbox. I love it. It's free for up to 2GB of capacity. I'm editing my site from three different computers. It eliminates any confusion regarding which file was the last one edited, which machine it's on, etc. I keep my domain file in dropbox and keep an alias in the left sidebar of the finder window. So all I have to do to edit my site is double click the domain file alias in any finder window, no matter what computer I'm working on. The dropbox website also keeps backups of your files so in case you ever lose your work, you can retrieve a back up from DropBox.com.
One thing you need to be careful about is to not edit your file from two different computers at the same time, The file can become corrupted if you do this.

Slow system and too many details after upgrading to OS/Lion
This MacBook Pro is my right hand, I was doing so great with Snow Leopard, Now everything takes twice longer. I cleaned up, reseted, reinstalled softwares, etc. same.
Too many details that doesn't work correctly.
-Safari constantly needs to be loading. Some times Firefox.
The track pad cant keep open a display box with a long list, once you try to scroll down.
-Preview, i used this app a lot, safe me time, DUPLICATE? instead of SAVE, i don't see the purpose. After editing images and safe them, gamma, color patterns and light appear distortion.
-iTunes volume doesn't comeback after using Skype or another app, remains low.
-Airport takes a bit longer to find a local network.
-There is not an extra space for the left and right scroll bottom on the finder window, sometimes this one disappear but mostly remains which makes it pretty tricky to open the last file at the bottom of the list. because the scroller is on front.
-External Drives, takes longer to connect or disconnect them.
Suggestions before i reinstall Snow Leopard.guizz,
it sounds like you have come across the mother of all problems but i would like to help as much as i can.
first of all, i noticed that it took a few days after installing lion before my system was back to the full stride it had while running snow leopard give it some time and a few updates and lion should speed up because components such as ram take time to adjust.
the duplicate thing in preview is a new thing that came out with versions, one of the many new features in lion. i think it takes the place of the SAVE AS... command and you should still be able to save using the old command-s keystroke however part of lion includes an autosave feature so you really never have to worry about saving your work.
i personally cannot speak for safari or firefox even though i have both because i use google chrome as my web browser you can always give that a try.
in the system preferences under the general settings option you can change how the scroll bar is displayed on the screen.
i would suggest searching for other people who have had similar problems with itunes to try and find an answer
as for everything else your system may just need time to adjust to lion
good luck hope this helped a little -
How do I stop unwanted and too many friend request...
I started receiving way too many contact requests from unknown men, usually all military, Which I have been consistently blocking, but I want to know if my account has been jacked or what is going on and how to stop this, please. Anyone???
just some clarifications changing your privacy settings will only prevent unwanted calls and/or IMs from people who are not in your contact list. It will not prevent other users, both legitimate and potential scammers/spammers, from sending your contact requests.

ROWTYPE and "Too many values" error...
I'm in the middle of trying to understand the inner workings of %ROWTYPE and how I can copy the structure of a table with it. I think I'm understanding the gist of it, but I continue to fail in pinpointing the actual values I try to insert with an example tutorial I'm using at the moment and was hoping someone could help me understand my problem better so that I can bridge this mental gap I seem to be slipping into...
That said, I have the following table: ct_employee
The columns of this table (and their schema settings) are as follows:
empno - NUMBER(4,0)
ename - VARCHAR2(20)
job - VARCHAR2(20)
mgr - NUMBER(4,0)
hiredate - DATE
sal - NUMBER(7,2)
comm - NUMBER(7,2)
ct_department - NUMBER(2,0)The SQL I'm using in all this is the following:
SET VERIFY OFF
DEFINE emp_num = 7369;
DECLARE
emp_rec ct_retired_emps%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
SELECT *
INTO emp_rec
FROM ct_employee
WHERE empno = &emp_num;
emp_rec.leavedate := SYSDATE;
UPDATE ct_retired_emps SET ROW = emp_rec
WHERE empno = &emp_num;
END;As I hope you can tell from the above, I'm trying to create a variable (emp_rec) to store the structure of ct_employee where upon I then copy a record into emp_rec if and only if the empno column from ct_employee matches that of the emp_num "7369".
I'm using SQL*PLUS with 10g in all this (+a program I love, by the way; it's really easy to use and very informative+) and when I press the "Run Script" button, I receive the following Script Output:
Error report:
ORA-06550: line 6, column 3:PL/SQL: ORA-00913: too many values
ORA-06550: line 4, column 3:
PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
06550. 00000 - "line %s, column %s:\n%s"
*Cause: Usually a PL/SQL compilation error.
*Action:>
What I translate from this is that there's either a column number mismatch or else there's some value being attempted to be inserted into the variable I created that isn't matching the structure of the variable.
Anyway, if someone around here could help me with this, you would make my day.It's still not updating the table. :(
Here's where I am...
I currently have the following pl/sql:
SET VERIFY OFF
DEFINE emp_num = 7369;
DECLARE
emp_rec ct_retired_emps%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
SELECT *
INTO emp_rec
FROM ct_employee
WHERE empno = &emp_num;
emp_rec.leavedate := SYSDATE;
UPDATE ct_retired_emps SET ROW = emp_rec
WHERE empno = &emp_num;
END;I'm trying to avoid as much hard-coding as possible, hence my use of the all selector, but because of this, SQL*Plus is now giving me a run-time error of the following:
Error report:ORA-06550: line 6, column 3:
PL/SQL: ORA-00913: too many values
ORA-06550: line 4, column 3:
PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
06550. 00000 - "line %s, column %s:\n%s"
*Cause: Usually a PL/SQL compilation error.
*Action:>
So to remedy this, I then try the following revised PL/SQL:
SET VERIFY OFFDEFINE emp_num = 7369;
DECLARE
emp_rec ct_retired_emps%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
SELECT empno, ename, job, mgr, hiredate, SYSDATE as leavdate, sal, comm, ct_department
INTO emp_rec
FROM ct_employee
WHERE empno = &emp_num;
UPDATE ct_retired_emps SET ROW = emp_rec
WHERE empno = &emp_num;
END;>
This time, everything runs smoothly, however, no information is updated into the ct_retired_emps! Ha!
I've verified that there's a record in ct_employee that has "7369" for its empno column value, so there should be no missing value concern from all this. The only other thing I can think of is that there must be something askew with my logic, but as to what, I have no clue. Below are my columns for both tables:
ct_employee -
empno, ename, job, mgr, hiredate, sal, comm, ct_department
ct_retired_emps -
empno, ename, job, mgr, hiredate, leavedate, sal, comm, deptno
My immediate questions:
1.) I know nothing about debugging or troubleshooting PL/SQL, but I do know that I need to review the contents of the emp_rec variable above to see what all is inside it so that I can better assess what's going on here. I've tried to use DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(emp_rec) but this does nothing and only creates another run-time error. What's a way in which I can output the contents of this regardless of run-time success? Would I need to code in an EXCEPTION section and THEN use DBMS_OUTPUT...?
2.) SELECTING * in the first snippet above meant that I was disallowed the use of the emp_rec.leavedate := SYSDATE; after the SELECT. How might oneself SELECT * AND+ use emp_rec.leavedate := SYSDATE; in the same EXECUTION section?
3.) With everything I've provided here, do you see any obvious issues?
It doesn't take a genius to realize I'm new at this stuff, but I am trying to provide everything I can to learn here so if any of you can help this poor guy out, he'd be very grateful. -
IWeb re-creates too many pages
I understand the difference between "Publish" and "Publish All", but what I don't understand is why iWeb re-creates so many pages when I "Publish". If I work on three pages and then simply "Publish", the darn thing spends five minutes re-creating those three and a half-dozen other pages I didn't touch. Not the end of the world, but kind of annoying.
Is there something I can do to eliminate this, or can someone at least help me understand why I am sitting and watching iWeb spin it's wheels for so long?
Thanks,
BryanThe strange thing is that:
Even when the new page you are working on is in another site in iWeb the publish feature goes through some long process. While no files in the other sites are changed they are 'checked one by one,' making the publish process more tedious than it has to be.
Since the nav bar is a part of the html code all pages in the site you add a page to must be modified. If you don't wish this to happen uncheck the checkboxes in the Inspector:
1. Select the page and Open the Inspector
2. Click on the page icon.
3. uncheck 'include this page in the navigation menu.' and 'display navigation menu'
iWeb makes it very easy to create your own nav menu. Just type in some text and select it. Then open the Inspector and click on the hyperlink icon. (Arrow icon) and select 'enable as hyperlink' From the pull down menu choose one of your pages in your site.

System I/O and Too Many Archive Logs
Hi all,
This is frustrating me. Our production database began to produce too many archived redo logs instantly --again. This happened before; two months ago our database was producing too many archive logs; just then we began get async i/o errors, we consulted a DBA and he restarted the database server telling us that it was caused by the system(???).
But after this restart the amount of archive logs decreased drastically. I was deleting the logs by hand(350 gb DB 300 gb arch area) and after this the archive logs never exceeded 10% of the 300gb archive area. Right now the logs are increasing 1%(3 GB) per 7-8 mins which is too many.
I checked from Enterprise Manager, System I/O graph is continous and the details show processes like ARC0, ARC1, LGWR(log file sequential read, db file parallel write are the most active ones) . Also Phsycal Reads are very inconsistent and can exceed 30000 KB at times. Undo tablespace is full nearly all of the time causing ORA-01555.
The above symptoms have all began today. The database is closed at 3:00 am to take offline backup and opened at 6:00 am everyday.
Nothing has changed on the database(9.2.0.8), applications(11.5.10.2) or OS(AIX 5.3).
What is the reason of this most senseless behaviour? Please help me.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
BurakSelam Burak,
High number of archive logs are being created because you may have massive redo creation on your database. Do you have an application that updates, deletes or inserts into any kind of table?
What is written in the alert.log file?
Do you have the undo tablespace with the guarentee retention option btw?
Have you ever checked the log file switch sequency map?
Please use below SQL to detirme the switch frequency;

Thread Count Queue Length in Negative and Too many standby Thread
We are using Weblogic server 9.2.2 with 1 admin server and 4 managed server . Currently in one of the servers I could observe that there are around 77 standby threads.
Home > Summary of Servers > server1 > Monitoring > Threads > Self-Tuning Thread Pool
I could see that the "queue length" is negative (-138) and self tuning standby thread count is 77. Large number of threads STANDBY thread persists during the busy time of the business hours where as other servers are fully utilized.
Is it normal to have negative queue length and so many STANDBY threads? As for JMS queue negative oracle had already acknowledged that it is a bug. Thanks.

Edited by: SilverHawk on May 12, 2011 8:12 AMYesterday an Oracle Consultant acknowlegded that it is a bug. There was a patch issued for Negative count in the JMS queue count and now this. Thanks for the reply by the way.

IWeb FTP sites from Power Mac to MackBook Pro
How do I move Powe Mac/iWeb 9 FTP sites to a MacBook Pro/iWeb 11?
You might have a MacBook Pro, but it does not have iWeb 11 - that does not exist. It has iLife 11 installed, but you still have iWeb 09, which is still part of the iLife 11 boxed set.
To move your sites, you need to move your domain.sites files and transfer these from your old Power Mac to your new Mac. These are located under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites. Make sure that you do in fact look under your User Library and NOT your System Library, as iWeb is not there. -
IWeb ftp and special characetrs on page names
I was having trouble publishing a site with iWeb via ftp. Testing the connection worked fine and publishing the site would work up to a point, and then give an error (there was an error publishing your site- try again later). I renamed the site on the ftp settings so that there were no special characters (:,-/ etc) and renamed the pages and eliminated these special characters. This seems to have fixed the issue. Anyone have a similar experience?
Been tring to upload a site using the new iWeb 09 FTP feature to our OS X server. The "test connection" went well, the upload appeared to go well, but when I went to "visit" the site i get File Not Found. I found where iWeb 09 put the site on the server (library/FTPServer/FTPRoot/). I found the index.html file and was able to access and view the site from a web browser (Open File).
Is there a setup issue on the server side to allow access to public when using iWeb 09 FTP feature?
We have been uploading this site to the server, and viewing via the web, with no problem using a 3rd party FTP software (Cyberduck) for a while now.
Any thoughts

Slow execution, flickering graphics, and too many threads, oh my!
i wrote a little game called Aim, Fire! just to screw around.
its immense complexity involves shooting little targets that fly across the screen.
you can see it at http://www.brianmaissy.com/applets/aimfire
i made a class representing a target that paints itself and is its own thread.
its kinda nifty in a OOP sort of way: all i have to do is instantiate a target; and it takes care of the rest, notifying the driver program of anything important (like it getting shot)
the problem, however, is the speed changes significantly depending on how many targets are active, and the graphics are very flickery.
i think the problem may be that having multiple threads is slow.
i also tried buffering my graphics but it didnt work very well.
however that may just be because i did it wrong.
in fact i probably did a lot of things wrong - please notify me of anything you see that i did badly
so tell me what you think about the design of the program, and any suggestions you have to restructure it. would i do better just to stick everything in one thread, or even all in one class?
thanks very much!

Music playlist shows wrong cover and too many songs
On my iPhone 4s, I just did the upgrade to iOS 7 (I did a fresh install to be sure) and I am using iTunes 11.1
So now my playlist in the Music app is messed up.
In iTunes, I have both: just normal playlists and playlist-folders (which themselves have playlists)
e.g. A Folder is called "The Alan Parsons Project" and underneath there are the playlists ("I Robot", "On Air", ...)
The problem is with this playlist folders:
On the iPhone, the Music app shows me the right folder name, but it shows me a wrong cover. The same wrong cover for each playlist-folder!
The playlists themselves appear with the right cover
Any other music app (Track 8, CarTunes), that ist able to show the number of songs, shows me the folder names, each containing all my songs!
Normal playlists are shown correctly.
Any suggestions?Thank you! This was driving me crazy. I had this issue when I initially installed iOS 7. At that time I removed all my music and resynced, and then the correct art displayed. I recently had to restore my iPhone and resync, and the bug of wrong art for playlist folders came back. (Strangely, it consistently displayed the same wrong art and displayed the same wrong art as when it happened before.) I kept removing and resyncing my playlists and deleting the iTunes album art cache to no avail. The fix of renaming the folders worked!

Duplicates and too many formats in iTunes library
How do I clean up my iTunes library? I have duplicates of every song now in both AAC and MPEG formats in there. I would like to delete the duplicates and all the mpeg songs leaving only the AAC songs in my library to sync with my Nano. THANKS
Robert Jacobson has a script for removing duplicates here:
http://home.comcast.net/~teridon73/itunesscripts/
As for removing MPEG files, have you discovered the "kind" column. If you go to View>>View options, there is a check box to display it.
You could either sort on the kind field or create a smart playlist where Kind is the format you want to delete.
This will group files of the same type together, but you would have to delete them yourself. -
UserTransaction and too many connections
This might sound a bit weird. I am just looking for some quick pointers here if possible. The OC4J version in use is 9.0.4.0.0. I am doing something along the following lines in a struts action class.
1) UserTransaction txn = ctx.lookup("java:comp/UserTransaction");
2) Connection conn = dataSource.getConnection();
3) txn.begin();
4) ..StatelessSessionBean call which uses a few entity beans (Bean Managed)
5) Direct updates using conn (no commits in this).
6) txn.commit
My issue is with step 4 above. It does some updates and this results in close to 500 plus physical db connections getting created when in UserTransaction. The beans are normal usual beans and the whole process works without issues if I get rid of UserTransaction with less than 50 physical connections.
I am just not able to pinpoint what exactly might be going wrong in the beans that such a large number of connections get created when in UserTransaction.
The datasource is along these lines
<data-source
class="com.evermind.sql.DriverManagerDataSource"
name="xxxDB"
location="jdbc/xxxDBCore"
pooled-location="jdbc/xxxDBCore_non_tx"
xa-location="jdbc/xa/xxxDBXA"
ejb-location="jdbc/xxxDB"
connection-driver="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
username="xxxxxxxx"
password="xxxxxxxx"
url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@1.2.3.4:1521:xxx"
min-connections="10"
/>
I check for the number of physical connections using the oc4j option
-Ddatasource.verbose=true which prints out the information.
If I set the max-connections attribute on the datasource, I get a Timeout waiting for connection exception in the app.
If any of this rings a bell and if you have any thoughts or suggestions, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance
best regards

have an 8g ipod touch which has had problems trying to play games and downloading update 4.2.1. went to the apple store who kindly downloaded the software update but now can't synch and generates multiple error messages; device times out, internal device error, network times out, duplicate file and too many files open etc etc. have latest i tunes download and diagnostic test ok. what can i do?
Does the ext directory have the php_oci8.dll? In the original steps the PHP dir is renamed. In the given php.in the extension_dir looks like it has been updated correctly. Since PHP distributes php_oci8.dll by default I reckon there would be a very good chance that the problem was somewhere else. Since this is an old thread I don't think we'll get much value from speculation.

JBO-25013: Too many objects match the primary key oracle.jbo.key error
I have implemented dependant dropdown in ADF.
My page contains two dropdowns First one is independant and values in the second one is populated depending on the value chosen in the first one.
I have used simple selecy query in my view objects and one entity object.
but while running the page i am getting the error JBO-25013: Too many objects match the primary key oracle.jbo.key
please help me with how to debug the error.Hi,
Basically that error means exactly what it says. The primary key of your parent VO isn't unique and too many items in the parent VO have the same primary key.
Post the sql here for your two VO's, and let us know what the primary key is.
Are you using setCurrentRowWithKeyValue as the VO method to set the current row, or are you using setCurrentRowWithKey?
