Need to change my password NOW, and where is a DBA when you really need one
I'm attempting to teach myself SQL using the book "Murach's Oracle SQL and PL/SQL". They recommended downloading Oracle Express Edition. I downloaded Express Edition 11g. The book says it's applicable with all versions through 11g.
Anyway, last Sunday I got a warning message, "ORA - 28002: The password will expire within 7 days.
28002.00000 - "the password will expire within %s days"
*Cause: The user's account is about to expire and the password needs to be changed
*Action: change the password or contact the DBA
Vendor code 28002
I don't have a DBA; I'm trying to learn this stuff on my own. I've been corresponding with the book's author. He's been having me try different stuff
(ALTER PROFILE DEFAULT LIMIT PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME UNLIMITED;
SELECT PROFILE FROM DBA_USERS WHERE USERNAME = SYSTEM;
ALTER PROFILE <PROFILE_NAME> LIMIT PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME UNLIMITED; ) None of this worked. He finally wrote that I should access the Database Home Page to change the password for the existing users.
Problem is, from the Oracle Database 10g Express Edition -> Go to Database Home Page, and that's not an option in my Oracle Database 11g Express Edition; my options are Get Help, Backup Database, Get Started, Restore Database, Run SQL Command Line, Start Database, and Stop Database.
How can I change my password so my database doesn't lock up? The database is on my home computer, so if I can set it up so there is no password expiration time that would be preferrable.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Updating the profile after a password has expired is like closing the barn door after all the cows have left.
Sure, the new cows won't be able to leave, new users created with the unlimited profile won't get the expired password problem but the 'escaped' cows still need to be fixed. Use a system or /as sysdba connection and set a new value for the user password.
sqlplus /nolog
conn /as sysdba
... connected ...
alter user <username> identified by <new password> account unlock;
conn <username>
... password ...
... connected ...
alter user <username> identified by <a different password>;As soon as system (or sysdba) or any user with the DBA role fixes the user account <username> should be good to go. And can set his/her own password as well. Its your database, you get to be the DBA.

Where's a magician when you really need one?
Recently did a re-install of 10.3.9, but now it's not much fun because Sherlock doesn't work.
No matter what I enter into the search field, the response of "no results found" stays there. It's almost as though it loads the internet, but can't access information or something prevents it from searching. All the other channels do the same thing.
Been through the discussion posts and tried deleting various files to no avail.
Can anyone please suggest something that will work?
G4 Titanium Mac OS X (10.3.9)That is a very nice and complete report of your problems and observations.
Thanks, I'm becoming very intimate with them. ;P
... related to having an older
version of Safari on their machines. I am wondering
if something similar could be causing you trouble.
Hard to say.
All I know is that running Safari 1.3 started off fine, then became progressively worse each time I used it. After the Re-install, I loaded 1.2 and it's been working very well... so I'm cautious about updating it.
...start the Console app and make sure
that the console log file is the one that opens on
your screen. Then, start Sherlock and do one of the
things that does not work. When a failure occurs,
something might be written to that log.
Nothing written in the first log that appears. However, in the Library log, there is this:
CurrentSet updated to 0 (Automatic)

I have no inkling as to what any of that actually means.
To do this, I would
need to have the output of your softwareupdate log
file, from the time that you re-installed 10.3.0 to
the present (I am assuming that you have used
Software Update. )
No.
After loading 10.3 from the retail kit for the first time, I dowloaded the updates manually from the Apple site (sorry, not very efficient, but I'm fairly new to Panther and didn't know about Software Update).
I don't know if here was an issue with Sherlock at that point because I didn't launch it.
After all upgrades were installed, I backed up the downloaded updates onto CD so I would have them in case of emergency. After the Re-install, the updates from 10.3 to 10.3.9 were enabled from the CD. Sherlock is the only app that is not working.
I will see if I can learn anything.
I'm very appreciative of the time you're spending on this.
BTW, I bought and thoroughly ran TechTool 4.1.1 according to the manufacturer's specs. While my machine is now running faster, the annoying problem is still there.

With OSX firewall and firewall on router, do you really need Netbarrier?
With the native firewall and what the router provides do you really need to spend the extra money. I understand the need for anti virus but... do you really need something like Netbarrier from Intego?

I used to be able to email photos from my Lightroom software 5.7 for MAC quite successfully. I needed to change my password several days ago in my gmail account. Now when I try to email photos I receive a message saying "Failed to establish connection with the outgoing email server. Please make sure you have entered the email account and password correctly."
I have been trying to get help from Adobe for 3 days. I have sent a message through "Get Support", 2 days ago, but no one has contacted me. I have tried by phone, but no one will help me. When I purchased Lightroom in May, 2014, I was able to receive phone help. I am now told that I don't qualify because I am not a Creative Cloud customer. I have been assigned a case number 186291729.
PLEASE HELP ME FIX THIS PROBLEMI, too, have this problem. I see no one is responding with a solution? Hello? Can someone please advise?
Oh, and, yes, I have manually verified repeatedly that the information I gave to Lightroom is correct, and I still get the same error message when I try to validate. -
I changed my email address on my Apple ID and was required to change my password - now IM doesnt work despite showing as available - suggestions?
Good day ESL1016,
If you change the email address associated with your Apple ID there are a number of places that have settings that need to be changed. One is in the Messages application. This article explains how to make those changes -
What to do after you change your Apple ID email address or password - Apple Support
Look for the section titled Messages and under it Mac with OS X Mountain Lion or later.
Open the Messages app, select Messages > Preferences, then click the Accounts icon.
If you're signed out, click Accounts and sign in with your updated Apple ID or password.
If you're signed in with your previous Apple ID, click Accounts, then select your Apple ID from the list of accounts. Click Sign Out, then click Sign Out again when asked to confirm. Sign in with your updated Apple ID or password.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

icloud still shows my old email address when I try to enter, asking me for a password I no longer have. I need to change my email address and password in ICLOUD but I can't find a way to do it. Any ideas? Thanks.

Guys, I have forgotten my security question answers, and the rescue email I placed in with my apple id has been closed down as well (it was a university id, when I graduated, the email service expired). I need help changing my password.
The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
1. Use Apple's Express Lane.
Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the
bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple
ID security questions' and click 'Continue'.
2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
3. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
A substitute for using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:

Nike+ forced me to change my password to one which had a capital, lower case and number in it ... all very well BUT iTunes can now not link my iPod runs to the Nike+ website as the passwords are different. How do I update the password in iTunes? I have tried unchecking the "sync" option and checking it again but can see no option to update email and / or password.
Did you go on-line and fix your billing information? You probably need to do this from iTunes on your computer, not your phone.
If you've double checked your credit card info and it still won't take it, contact your card issuer. -
I forgot my security question answers, but i need to change my password. Help me
I need to change my password because I let my disgruntled (ex) boyfriend use my account, and I don't want him to charge anything to my card. I made this account year ago back in high school and the answers I've provided for the security questions are apparently incorrect. However, I desperately need to change my account password. How can I recover/write new security questions????????

Another user had success doing the following:
I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
"done", in the upper right corner
c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
security questions.
d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
questions.
It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
