Need help with intermittant INSO Filter problem

Hi all,
I am running Oracle 9i release 1 on Windows NT. I am using the INSO filters to convert excel spread sheets to HTML. Everything is working fine until the server has been up for about 2 hours, then I get the following error message :-
ORA-20000: Oracle Text error:
DRG-11101: failed to open file \drgit11
ORA-06512: at "CTXSYS.DRUE", line 157
ORA-06512: at "CTXSYS.CTX_DOC", line 817
ORA-06512: at "INTOUCH.HTML_CONVERSION", line 15
ORA-06512: at "INTOUCH.HTML_CONVERSION", line 30
If I reboot the server - everything then starts to work ok again. It is almost like oracle is loosing its ORACLE_HOME setting.
Has anyone seen this error before ?
Regards
Dan

what happens if you remove the battery and plug into using the adapter?
Also, may want to try and remove battery and unplug adapter and then hold down the power on switch for 30 sec. Connect the adapter and try to turn on.
Why do you suspect the power jack? is it loose or appear to be physically damaged?

I need help with an Apple ID problem...

I own a Macbook and an iPod touch, I have downloaded numerous apps for the iPod over the years. 18 months ago my boyfriend got an iPhone 3GS and created an Apple ID but it would not let him download apps due to some kind of issue registering his bank card. At the time I tried to sort it out and told him to get in touch with Apple support but he was impatient and wanted to start getting apps right away so I caved in and let him use my Apple ID. The next day I realised this was a stupid thing to do when all his apps started appearing in my iTunes. However I didn't see it as too much of a problem at the time...
Tomorrow I am going to pick up my shiny new iPhone 5 (my first iPhone ) and I am worried about plugging it into my Mac and having all these apps that I really don't want around in my iTunes. I am imagining an absolute pain in the bum trying to sort all these apps out and syncing them to the right devices? I would absolutely love to just shift all his apps over to his Apple ID, he has loads of stuff that he needs to keep now. He does not have a computer himself, but there is no real need to plug his iPhone into my macbook ever again. After having a quick read around the forums, there seems to be no simple answer to this problem. If anyone could help with this I would be extremely grateful!

You can't. All apps are forever tied to the ID used to originally obtain them. In your case, that would be your ID. He really needs to get his own ID, delete these apps, then purchase them using his ID.
For you, just delete what you don't want from your iTunes library.

In your case, because the image is 8bit, you need to use the "colors" array containing the real RGB value.
Look at the Help for the "Read BMP File VI", you should be able to properly handle your pixels from there.
thanks for pointing that out for me, so I connect the 'totalpix' array with the 'colors' array from the image data instead of the 'image' array, that's correct right?

I need help with a software update problem??

I recently got a new macbook pro and I was doing a software update last night as it was required but then when it started to do the update the computer installed the software and then a barring noise came from the mac and it tried to restart 4 times before it eventually came back on. The software trying to install was Fireware 800 I think. Can anyone help with this?

Try MacBook notebook forum to talk to other users, or OS Software (Lion or Snow Leopard)
Does not sound like an Apple OS update though.

Need help with my image filter

hi guys,
so i'm making this image filter for school in Labview but can't get it to work properly, to do the filtering i'm using a formula node, which in my eyes is easier then with only labview functions.
for the C code i'm following this website: http://lodev.org/cgtutor/filtering.html
i don't copy exact every line, i'm only copying the lines i need. note that i don't use the "ColorRGB" class because it doesn't exist in a formula node, i do the filtering on a black and white image so don't really need it.
I adjusted to code so that it would work in my formula node.
if i run the vi and select the attached image file (can't attach .bmp files so i included a link for the img file) for input then it just returns the original image, which is good and also bad, good because the code works in some way but bad because it doesn't do any filtering or such.
Could anyone please look into this and give me some tips or tell me what i'm doing wrong?
and if anyone knows how to do this in RGB you are always welcome to give me tips.
used image file: http://www13.zippyshare.com/v/74810991/file.html (can't attach bmp files so i uploaded it quickly)
(btw i know there is this toolkit called vision which has many functions that could help me, but the teacher already said we can't use that)
i hope somebody can assist me in this and willing to give me some help.

Need help with a very strange problem

I've been using Macs since the Apple IIe and I haven't seen anything like this. I need some help "diagnosing" where the problem might lie, and what to do about it.
I have the dock to appear and disappear automatically. But when I run the mouse down to the bottom of the screen, it doesn't appear. I have to "click" in that area to get it to appear. Also, when I select a menu in the finder or in an application, and then scroll through the menu items, they do not highlight as they should. I can click on an item to activate it, but they aren't highlighted as I scroll through.
Also, in some applications, windows don't appear and disappear normally as they should. For example, with Adobe Lightroom I have it set up so that the adjustment panels on the left and right automatically appear and disappear. But they aren't doing that anymore.
A restart and permissions repair will temporarily solve the problem, but it inevitably returns (sometimes within an hour, sometimes a few days). I have three users on my computer, and it happens in each user account.
A couple days ago, I did an archive & install. That didn't fix it. Then yesterday I did a full reinstall of Leopard and then used Migration Assistant and Time Machine to migrate my users & applications to the new install. After I repaired permissions and rebooted, the problem was right there again.
It doesn't seem like the problem is with a user account, since all three accounts have it. So why didn't a reinstall of the system fix it? And what can I do now?

Althought the behavior is the same in all three accounts, if all are working accounts I would suspect there is something all of them have installed that could be the source of the problem. Try creating a new admin account, and leave it just the way Apple creates it--don't add anything nor modify it in any way. Log into that account and see if it works correctly.
If that account is also misbehaving, try restarting, and when you hear the chime hold down the Shift key so that you boot into Safe Mode (you'll see a notice in the splash screen about being in Safe Mode). The boot will take longer (perhaps even considerably longer) as the system runs disk repair, empties some caches, disables all third party startup items, as well as all Apple startup items not strictly necessary for the machine to run. See the menus and Dock now behave correctly.
Since the problem is evidently somewhat intermittent in nature it may take some patience to discover what is wrong. You might also disconnect everything that didn't come with the Mac, reboot, and use only the Apple keyboard and Apple mouse and run for a bit to see how that works. If you are using a third party mouse that required installing something that would be my guess as a "prime suspect" for the cause of the problems.

Need HELP with crazy rendering / saving problem

I am finishing up a project that I need to deliver on DVD in the next couple of days.
Suddenly, something strange is happening.
There are several audio clips that have some filters applied to them. When I play them in the timeline, they sound fine, until I render them.
Then, the audio in those clips gets muddy and way quiet.
When I click off the filter, the volume comes back.
Then, if I click on the filter again, the filtered settings are applied and it sounds fine.
However, as soon as I render, it all goes wacky again.
This is making me nervous, as the deadline is looming.
THanks for any help.

What are your timeline settings for audio? What are the filters for? If you export a small section as a test, does the audio sound bad when you play back the quicktime?
I just remembered - when I experienced this before, it was the result of audio that was inverted in one channel, so as long as they came out of separate speakers, there was no problem, but when they were mixed, they canceled each other out resulting in severely decreased volume.
As my problem was just with Voice Over, I simply deleted one of the audio channels, then doubled the remaining one and panned it properly.
Dunno if that's your issue, but you might investigate that...

Urgent - Need help with Lighting Effects Filter

Hi,
I need urgent help on something regarding the Lighting Effects filter in Adobe Photoshop CS5. I need lighting effect urgently to complete a project.
I am using Photoshop CS5 on a Windows Vista computer in 64-bit mode.
On the net it is given that you can run photoshop CS5 in 32-bit mode to use the lighting effects filter - both on Mac and PC.
My Problem:
While on the net it is given how to change from 64-bit to 32-bit and vice-versa, I have my Photoshop CS5 installed on 'E - Drive' and not on 'C - Drive' due to lack of space. I have followed all the instructions on how to open it in 32-bit mode on the net, but I still cannot use the lighting effects plugin.
What I need is if someone could give simple and clear instructions on how to open Photoshop CS5 32-bit version instead of opening the default 64-bit version on Windows Vista - that would be great.
Looking forward to answers.
Thanks.

That advice about running the 32 bit version of cs5 for the Render> Lighting Effects filter
only pertains to the mac version of photoshop cs5.
The lighting effects filter does work in the 64 bit version of photoshop cs5 on windows, your
document just has to be 8 bits/channel and in the RGB Color mode (Image>Mode) same
for using the lighting effects filter in the 32 bit version of cs5.
Added: In general it's frowned upon installing photoshop on drives other than C drive.

Need HELP with objects and classes problem (program compiles)

Alright guys, it is a homework problem but I have definitely put in the work. I believe I have everything right except for the toString method in my Line class. The program compiles and runs but I am not getting the right outcome and I am missing parts. I will post my problems after the code. I will post the assignment (sorry, its long) also. If anyone could help I would appreciate it. It is due on Monday so I am strapped for time.
Assignment:
-There are two ways to uniquely determine a line represented by the equation y=ax+b, where a is the slope and b is the yIntercept.
a)two diffrent points
b)a point and a slope
!!!write a program that consists of three classes:
1)Point class: all data MUST be private
a)MUST contain the following methods:
a1)public Point(double x, double y)
a2)public double x ()
a3public double y ()
a4)public String toString () : that returns the point in the format "(x,y)"
2)Line class: all data MUST be private
b)MUST contain the following methods:
b1)public Line (Point point1, Point point2)
b2)public Line (Point point1, double slope)
b3)public String toString() : that returns the a text description for the line is y=ax+b format
3)Point2Line class
c1)reads the coordinates of a point and a slope and displays the line equation
c2)reads the coordinates of another point (if the same points, prompt the user to change points) and displays the line equation
***I will worry about the user input later, right now I am using set coordinates
What is expected when the program is ran: example
please input x coordinate of the 1st point: 5
please input y coordinate of the 1st point: -4
please input slope: -2
the equation of the 1st line is: y = -2.0x+6.0
please input x coordinate of the 2nd point: 5
please input y coordinate of the 2nd point: -4
it needs to be a diffrent point from (5.0,-4.0)
please input x coordinate of the 2nd point: -1
please input y coordinate of the 2nd point: 2
the equation of the 2nd line is: y = -1.0x +1.0
CODE::
public class Point{
     private double x = 0;
     private double y = 0;
     public Point(){
     public Point(double x, double y){
          this.x = x;
          this.y = y;
     public double getX(){
          return x;
     public double setX(){
          return this.x;
     public double getY(){
          return y;
     public double setY(){
          return this.y;
     public String toString(){
          return "The point is " + this.x + ", " + this.y;
public class Line
     private double x = 0;
     private double y = 0;
     private double m = 0;
     private double x2 = 0;
     private double y2 = 0;
     public Line()
     public Line (Point point1, Point point2)
          this.x = point1.getX();
          this.y = point1.getY();
          this.x2 = point2.getX();
          this.y2 = point2.getY();
          this.m = slope(point1, point2);
     public Line (Point point1, double slope)
          this.x = point1.getX();
          this.y = point1.getY();
     public double slope(Point point1, Point point2)//finds slope
          double m1 = (point1.getY() - point2.getY())/(point1.getX() - point2.getX());
          return m1;
     public String toString()
          double temp = this.x- this.x2;
          return this.y + " = " +temp + "" + "(" + this.m + ")" + " " + "+ " + this.y2;
          //y-y1=m(x-x1)
public class Point2Line
     public static void main(String[]args)
          Point p = new Point(3, -3);
          Point x = new Point(10, 7);
          Line l = new Line(p, x);
          System.out.println(l.toString());
}My problems:
I dont have the right outcome due to I don't know how to set up the toString in the Line class.
I don't know where to put if statements for if the points are the same and you need to prompt the user to put in a different 2nd point
I don't know where to put in if statements for the special cases such as if the line the user puts in is a horizontal or vertical line (such as x=4.7 or y=3.4)

Sorry guys, I was just trying to be thorough with the assignment. Its not that if the number is valid, its that you cannot put in the same coordinated twice.
public class Line
     private double x = 0;
     private double y = 0;
     private double m = 0;
     private double x2 = 0;
     private double y2 = 0;
     public Line()
     public Line (Point point1, Point point2)
          this.x = point1.getX();
          this.y = point1.getY();
          this.x2 = point2.getX();
          this.y2 = point2.getY();
          this.m = slope(point1, point2);
     public Line (Point point1, double slope)
          this.x = point1.getX();
          this.y = point1.getY();
     public double slope(Point point1, Point point2)//finds slope
          double m1 = (point1.getY() - point2.getY())/(point1.getX() - point2.getX());
          return m1;
     public String toString()
          double temp = this.x- this.x2;
          return this.y + " = " +temp + "" + "(" + this.m + ")" + " " + "+ " + this.y2;
          //y-y1=m(x-x1)
public class Point2Line
     public static void main(String[]args)
          Point p = new Point(3, -3);
          Point x = new Point(10, 7);
          Line l = new Line(p, x);
          System.out.println(l.toString());
}The problem is in these lines of code.
public double slope(Point point1, Point point2) //if this method finds the slope than how would i use the the two coordinates plus "m1" to
          double m1 = (point1.getY() - point2.getY())/(point1.getX() - point2.getX());
          return m1;
     public String toString()
          double temp = this.x- this.x2;
          return this.y + " = " +temp + "" + "(" + this.m + ")" + " " + "+ " + this.y2;
          //y-y1=m(x-x1)
     }if slope method finds the slope than how would i use the the two coordinates + "m1" to create a the line in toString?

Need help with a SpryImageSlideShow load problem

I am using Dreamweaver CS5.
I have a spryImageSlideshow on my site. I can't get the slideshow to load if there are only 2 images or less in the slideshow. It only automatically loads the large image when there are 3 photos or more in the slideshow. How do I fix this to start with only 1-2 photos in the slideshow?

Hi
We usually need to see ALL your code to solve your issue quickly and accurately without a lot of guessing and questions back-and-forth.
Just rename a copy of your problem page (such as "test.html") and upload it to your server, in whatever folder the original page was located, and simply post a link in the Forum and tell us your problem.
This saves you having to cut and paste miles of code into the Forum for the page and all the dependent CSS, JS etc. files.and saves us from having to recreate all your filles, find your images and then repair your code and test the solution for you.
I trust this is helpful.

fair enough frank lets add some extra data to the tables.
for example.
INSERT INTO "INVOICE" (FARINVC_INVH_CODE, FARINVC_ITEM, FARINVC_PO) VALUES ('I0554167', '1', 'P0142447')
INSERT INTO "INVOICE" (FARINVC_INVH_CODE, FARINVC_ITEM, FARINVC_PO) VALUES ('I0554167', '2', 'P0142447')
INSERT INTO "PO" (SUPPLIER_NUMBER, SUPPLIER_INVOICE_NO, PO_NUMBER, RUN_DATE, PO_LINE_NUMBER) VALUES ('914100123', 'INV1', 'P0142247', '25-NOV-12', '1')
INSERT INTO "PO" (SUPPLIER_NUMBER, SUPPLIER_INVOICE_NO, PO_NUMBER, RUN_DATE, PO_LINE_NUMBER) VALUES ('914100123', 'INV2', 'P0142247', '25-NOV-12', '2')
INSERT INTO "PO" (SUPPLIER_NUMBER, SUPPLIER_INVOICE_NO, PO_NUMBER, RUN_DATE, PO_LINE_NUMBER) VALUES ('914100123', 'INV3', 'P0142247', '25-NOV-12', '3')if we run the query above we get

Furthermore i would only like to see the items that are repeating invoice numbers, in other words my result here should still only be, because "SUPPLIER_INVOICE_NO" is repeating and it does find a match for the po in the invoice table but yet there is an item with the same invoice and po in the po table that does not have a match in the invoice table.

Need help with notify() / wait() synchronization problem.

I am trying to overcome a race condition that seems to be coming from the use of the swing ui file chooser in my code. I tried to solve this problem using wait/notify but I ended up in an infinite loop so and was wondering if anyone could help me out. Here are some code snipets:
//Create a new monitor
final private Object monitor = new Object();
//in method getAppletdirectory()
synchronized(monitor)
//initialize the wizard which is a filechooser then call using the swingui showCenteredDialog
DialogUtils.showCenteredDialog(wizard, -1, -1);
monitor.notifyAll();
//return some info from the wizard
// in main method of this class
File appletDirectory = getAppletDirectory(controller);
synchronized(monitor) {
try
monitor.wait();
catch (InterruptedException e){
The method causes in infinite loop, I believe this is happening because the notify is being called before the dialog window has completed then when the wait is set up there is no notify to come. My problem is the wizard is used in other circumstances where it will not look for this. Would it be okay to add the notify() to the wizard's functionality even though sometimes there will be no monitor waiting for it? Can anyone give me any advice on this? Thanks.

>
The reason I believe this was a race condition is because when I run this code without the synchronized call and the DialogUtils.showinfoDialog commented out as shown below. When the zip occurs some of the files do not show up in the newly created .zip. But if I uncomment the dialog call then the .zip contains everything I expect it to.
>
Okay, so let's restate this:
Problem
I try to zip a file, but when I try to run the code above, then some of the files don't make it to the Zip archive. Some do, some don't.
Diagnostics
I notice when I call DialogUtils.showinfoDialog then the zip is formed properly. I think this is because the showinfoDialog method makes the user click on a button before returning. So my concern is that I am generating a race condition by <doing something... I have no idea what...>.
Okay, so now we have that out of the way, You also say "Also, the reason I think this is an infinite loop is because when I added the synchronized calls and it gets to this part of the program it hangs and must be force quit." For there to be an infinite loop, there first has to be a loop, then there has to be a condition for ending the loop that never is reached. I still see no loop in your code, so it is impossible to have an infinte loop in any code that you have shown (there may be an infinite loop someplace else that you aren't showing). That said, your computer can hang for any number of other reasons, including any un-interrupted blocking operation (reading from a Stream, waiting on a BlockingQueue, calling wait() without notify()), or a deadlock situation. The problem with saying that you have an infinite loop is that the first thing to do to fix that is to look at the loop. If you don't know what is causing a hang, just say 'The program is hanging here.' That way we can look at different reasons for hangs, rather than getting caught up in a red herring of an infinite loop.
Okay, down to the problem:
1) Why are you including any synchronization? Why do you think you need it? How many Threads do you create? And where?
2) We can't help you with the code you provided. It tells us nothing about what is going on. What is DialogUtils? FileUtils? RistrettoWizard? No clue. Don't know what any of those methods do. What context is this method called in? Why the synchronization?
What you need to do is generate a short, working sample that shows the problem. Read [this site for examples.|http://sscce.org/] Make it simple, and complete. If I can't copy the code and run it to see your problem then I can't help diagnose it.

Need help with IE6 box drop problem DW CS4

Having a problem with this page: http://www.recoverings.com/tarzan.html in IE6. Maincontent drops below the sidebar menu. Looks fine in FF, Safari, IE7.
All other pages work well. I assume that this has something to do with the width of the .wrapnail and .thumbnail divs, but reducing the margins doesn't seem to help and the images start to get too close together. What am I missing here?
Can someone help me solve this?
I would also appreciate any suggestions on cleaning up my CSS. Seems like I have an awful lot of stuff in there. Maybe it's okay but could it be cleaner?
Thanks for your help,
Phil

IE bug Float Drop is fairly common. Make sure your page wrapper division is wider than the combined width of left sidebar + main content + left & right borders if any. If that doesn't help, add an overflow: hidden rule to your floated container and make sure you have cleared both floats.

Need Help With Restoring My Ipod, Problem seems Unique, please help.

Hi, I have a mini as most of you others do as well. I will outline all the problems and the solutions I have taken to solve these problems, yet they have all failed.
1) When trying to turn my IPOD on I run across the Folder with the Exclamation Point
SOLUTIONS: I have tried to reset, and change the format of the drive, both have failed to solve the problem. When I try to connect the ipod to the computer (in disk mode and out of disk mode) it says The Ipod is corrupt it may need to be restored. So I restore the IPOD and it says Disconnect it and replug it into a power source (which I interpret as the wall charger). After I disconnect it (I have tried just disconnecting it when the menu restarts to the APPLE and disconnecting it by manually selecting the IPOD from the source list to disconnect after waiting) and plugging it into the wall charger I get the folder with the exclamation point again. It seems to be a cycle, and I don't know how to break it. If it is a faulty harddrive I guess I will try to replace it using the method outlined in other posts, but if I'm missing anything please let me know. Thank you.

That's the faulty drive/OS indicator.
If restoring the iPod from iTunes doesn't work, it's likely that the drive has died and needs to be replaced.
It's a fairly easy task with the proper tools.

Can anyone help with a timestamp filter problem

Hello
I need to filter all times before 09:30 and all times after 15:30. The filtering that takes place in the attached VI filters the dates properly up to 46 days but then 4:30 becomes 09:30 and 09:30 no longer appears approx element 327 in the right array set.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have expirimented with the local vs standard time settings but things never get filtered properly.
Thanks
Tim C.
1:30 Seconds ARRRGHHH!!!! I want my popcorn NOW! Isn't there anything faster than a microwave!

I used the attached conversion VI (found on NIs website and modified slightly) and replaced all the code in your FOR LOOP. I ran this and the final time stamps look good. Your original VI modified is attached.
By the way, your code is strewn all over the place, I would suggest modularizing with sub-VIs...you could shrink your block diagram WAY down (to something that would fit on my 1680x1050 screen).
The attachments are for LabVIEW 8.5. What version are you using?
