My WiFi & Ethernet connection works but automatic is not working

The settings for my networking have gone kuh fluee (sp???) since I got up and running on my brand new MBP with 10.5.1 (and yes, I've installed all of the updates).
I have 3 locations set up (or I thought they were set up as they worked on my old PB):
WiFi
Ethernet
and then there's AUTOMATIC
Both my WiFi and Ethernet work fine. I want the Mac to understand that if Ethernet is connected, go and use Ethernet; if no Ethernet, then use the WiFi. I thought this would work when the location is switched to AUTOMATIC. AUTOMATIC simply just can't seem to connect. It continues to show all lights green except for the NETWORK light. I restart the modem and router over and over and the Networking thing just keeps telling me to do that again. Ok - what am I NOT getting here. Again, note that both ethernet and WiFi connection as separate locations work; what is NOT working is AUTOMATIC and I want that to work so that the Mac "automatically" detects what is out there for me to connect and if Ethernet, it connects via Ethernet.
Insight? Solutions? Advice???

The following is an excerpt from The Peachpit Learning Series for Leopard but I am sure it applies to Tiger and probably Panther as well. I have four computers at home, three with Leopard and one with Tiger. One Tiger machine is connected to my Airport Extreme via ethernet and my other desktop runs Leopard and also is connected via ether net. My two laptops are connected via Airport.
Open network preferences via System Preferences. You'll see the network window which should list your networks on the left had side of the page in the order of preferences what you might want to do and your individual computer is change that order of preferences to Ethernet first and Airport Second, that way if you are connected via ethernet it will connect that way. If you are not connected via ethernet it will look for the ethernet connection first and not seeing one, it will move on to Airport. You can change the order of preferences by clicking the activity button at the bottom of the window on the left that looks like a little cog wheel and then set service order.
I'm not 100 percent sure but by choosing automatic it either tells the system to do the above automatically when you open your browser or email to it means go to your wireless system of preference.
Hope this helps.

TS1398 I have an iPad 2 that is updated and using 6.0.1. It is connecting to my wifi just fine. I just purchased a 4th generation iPad. It shows it is connected to the same wifi, same strong signal, but it will not work. HELP!!!

I have an iPad 2 that is updated and using 6.0.1. It is connecting to my wifi just fine. I just purchased a 4th generation iPad. It shows it is connected to the same wifi, same strong signal, but it will not work. HELP!!!

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Macbook pro to HDTV, video is working but audio is not working, how to make audio work as well

Macbook pro to HDTV, video is working but audio is not working, how to make audio work as well

If you use an HDMI cable, the audiostream will be integrated, so there will be sound when using an HDMI cable!
Not necessarily. That only works as stated if you have one of the most recent MBP's that has a built-in HDMI port.
If the MBP only has a Thunderbolt or miniDisplayPort, you need an appropriate adapter cable and even if you use an HDMI adapter or cable to connect to your HDTV there is no guarantee it will carry audio. You have to determine if your specific MBP model supports audio out through its miniDisplayPort or Thunderbolt output, and whether the adapter does likewise.

TS3367 facetime used to work but now does not work on any of my devices

I have been in regular contact until about 4 days ago using facetime on my iphone 5 imac 10.7.5. ipad 2 now none of these devices work from incoming calls from Philipinnes. Take note the caller had latest macbook pro 13 inch and is able to call Guam on fatetime with success. What is happening why is incoming calls alway failing. This has been 4 days running and is not good enough. Okay I havent got the latest updates but why in the late few days whould this effect anything. I mean 3 devices and none of them work. This is most frustrating and annoying. I have intead used skype which does work but at night time the camera is not as clear. Tanke note also earlier in the year I received calls from Vietnam and although I did have dropouts was always able to connect only these last four days have had no success. Also I have not been able to call out. The wireless has full bar and am near the modem that is not an issue. Unless there has been a recent change why is htis not working all of a sudden.

THere seems to be a FaceTime issue and some users who have been in contact with Apple support claim that Apple is working on this.
I have read many posts on the issue and have seen that there are many reporting that when they have updated their various devices to the latest software, the issue has been resolved.
You can wait for Apple to resolve the issue OR you can update everything to the latest software and see if this solves your issues.

Using Garageband and I cannot hear previously recorded tracks on headphones. Prefs are set to output on EMU0404 my audio device - this did work but now is not working.

I am using Garageband and I cannot hear the previously recorded tracks on my headphones. I am using an audio input/output device, EMU0404 - this was previously working fine but stopped. All cables check out OK and so does the unit - I have updated to the latest version of Garageband but this did not help. Any suggestion?

Hi Christoph,
I cannot see anything wrong with the EMU0404. This is what puzzels me ... Garageband looks OK - headphones are OK - EMU looks OK.
Thanks anyway

Update working, but insert is not working.

Hi friends,
Im creating a process for the manular tabular form, that im developing.
Since for the update im giving the below query
for i in 1..htmldb_application.g_f01.count
loop
if htmldb_application.g_f01(i) is not null then
    update gen_req_items
    set item_id = replace(htmldb_application.g_f03(i),'%'||'null%',NULL),
       item_uom_id= replace(htmldb_application.g_f04(i),'%'||'null%',null)
      where req_itm_id = htmldb_application.g_f01(i);
end if;
end loop;It is working fine, and i can able to update the rows in my tabular form.
For insert im giving the following query.
for i in 1..htmldb_application.g_f01.count
loop
if htmldb_application.g_f01(i) is not null then
    update gen_req_items
    set item_id = replace(htmldb_application.g_f03(i),'%'||'null%',NULL),
       item_uom_id= replace(htmldb_application.g_f04(i),'%'||'null%',null)
      where req_itm_id = htmldb_application.g_f01(i);
else if
if htmldb_application.g_f01(i) is null
insert into gen_req_items(barcode, item_id, item_uom_id)
values(htmldb_application.g_f02(i),replace(htmldb_application.g_f03(i),'%'||'null%',NULL),replace(htmldb_application.g_f04(i),'%'||'null%',NULL));
end if;
end if;
end loop;But the insert is not working, as i couldnt able to insert the values. I dont know what went wrong.
The below is my region source coding of my tabular form.
select x.req_itm_id,
x.barcode,
x.item_id,
x.item_uom_id
from (
select htmldb_item.text(1,req_itm_id) req_itm_id,
htmldb_item.select_list_from_query(2,barcode,'select distinct barcode, barcode from gen_req_items') barcode,
htmldb_item.text(3,item_id,10) item_id,
htmldb_item.text(4,item_uom_id,10) item_uom_id
from gen_req_items
union all
select htmldb_item.hidden(1,null) req_itm_id,
htmldb_item.select_list_from_query(2,null,'select distinct barcode, barcode from gen_req_items') barcode,
htmldb_item.text(3,null,10) item_id,
htmldb_item.text(4,null,10) item_uom_id
from dual) xIm developing a manular tabular form by referring the below link, FYR
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/tabular-form-090805.html_
what might be wrong with my insert statement.
As i also created sequence and trigger for my primary key column req_itm_id in tabular form

You've posted here often enough to know that this isn't really sufficient detail. Regarding the above statement, how did you reach that particular conclusion? It might sound like a stupid question, but it gives us a bit of insight into how you have attempted to diagnose the problem and can speed up its resolution.
* Does the insert work "standalone" i.e. if you write it as a manual query in, for example, the SQL Window, using bind variables?
* If it does, do you have any special constraints on one or more of the relevant fields (e.g. "not null" on the barcode field)?
* If so, have you ensured that the relevant field(s) (e.g. F02) are actually populated with values and are valid for insertion?
In addition, I'm not sure what the purpose of the nested "If" statement is
if htmldb_application.g_f01(i) is null
end if;Indeed, the else if won't work either... the correct syntax is elsif

Microphone works but dictation does not work

My dictation software was working fine then suddnely not so much. I have ensured it has been enabled, I have selected automatic detection as the default, I have choesen the internal microphone as the default, I have chosen the external microphone as the default, I have even deleted the
file://localhost/Users/williams/Library/Preferences/com.apple.assistant.plist file and rebooted, tested my internal and external microphones through the system preferences dictation setup (both register as working while in dictation preferences as indicated by the microphone symbol responding to sound), I've ensured the language was set to english (US) and closed all other programs.
Once the dication command is selected the microphone pops up and viola no response as if the microphone is no longer working!!! I am sooo much more productive with the speech to text function and really need it back. Anyone with any new/additional suggestions will be most welcome and I appreciate the help!

DM - "Export from Fact Table" works but "Export" does not work properly

Hi,
I'm using BPC7M.
I found it strange that Export cannot dump data to a flat file though I'm pretty sure my selection of dimension members contain data. The existing of data was further confirmed by running Export from Fact Table successfully, where I chose the same set of dimension members. Below are the log files.

Thanks!

Hi Sorin,
In order to make sure the sum is not equal to 0, I ran the "Clear" package and full optimize the application. Afterwards, I deliberately sent only 1 record. I ran the "Export from Fact Table" and I have the following contents in my output flat file.
B_ACCOUNT,TIME,WED_ENTITY,DATASRC,CATEGORY,SIGNEDDATA
KPI0001,2009.INP,DEP_INPUT,INPUT,ACTUAL,-500.0000000
This confirms that the sum is not 0. Then, I ran "Export" package. Yet again, I encountered the same error.
There is no data in the selected region; select a region that has data._2_True
Best Regards,
Sunny
