New school, macs not supported for school internet
i just started school at a school that doesn't support macs, so i was wondering what the IP address was. in my dorm room we have ethernet, and it says i'm not connected, even though the cord is plugged in. the internet guy at school said to post a question to figure out what the IP address was because he said it changes a lot. so if someone could please help me...i need the internet!!!!!!!!!!
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Another way to get to the system profiler is via the Apple Menu in the upper left of your screen. Click on the Apple icon, then select "about this mac". On the next panel, select "more info". The ensuing panel has a lot of information about your machine and its software. On the left side you'll see Network. Click on it and you'll see the IP address if your machine recognized the school's network connection.
If you are using Safari, when you get the message "cannont connect etc." when selecting a web site, click on the diagnostic button. This will open the Network Diagnostic panel which may help you get connected to the school's network. Just follow the prompts, answering the questions as they are presented. If you don't know the answer, I'd contact the School's tech/network person for clarificaion.
As the previous poster suggested, this is not the best forum for getting your Network question answered. If there is no help from the above suggestion, repost in the recommended forum.

My Mac suddenly started getting a pop up message saying "There was a problem conecting to the server. URLs with the type "file" are not supported." My internet is working fine,no problem connecting. I just keep getting this message which I click off and continue working.
Open the Time Machine pane in System Preferences. If it shows that Time Machine is ON, click the padlock icon in the lower left corner, if necessary, to unlock it. Scroll to the bottom of the list of backup drives and click Add or Remove Backup Disk. Remove all the disks, then add them back. Quit System Preferences. Test.

Help! Some features of Mac OS X Mavericks are not supported for the disk "Macintosh HD"
I'm on a MacBook 13" mid 2010, OS X 10.7.5, I want to upgrade to OS X Mavericks. I have searched around for a few days, I find people with the same problem but can't really get the solution for it. I prefer not to reinstall OS X, I want to upgrade. I don't have boot camp or something just a 250 GB HD.
Well, while I'm trying to upgrade from the download from Apps Store, I open the installer, press continue then accepts the Terms.. then select Macintosh HD and click install, then an warning message shows up "Some features of Mac OS X Mavericks are not supported for the disk "Macintosh HD"
As I've read the article that is included in the waring message i did try to install anyway because it say that I would be fine, but when i did try to install the installer starts and after like 3 minutes a window appears, Install Failed.
I've even try to make a installer on USB, both with the command in terminal and with Diskmaker, but it does not help.
It seems impossible to upgrade. Please Help me.First, see the heading "What to do if the installer warns that no Recovery System can be created" in this support article. If you use Boot Camp, back up and delete the Windows partition using Boot Camp Assistant. Try the installation again.

Some features of Mac OS X Lion are not supported for the disk
At the beginning of the installation on my MacBook Pro (early 2008, non-unibody) this alert appeared. The disk is partitioned into three partitions: 1. = Photoshop-scratch, 2. = System, 3. = Bootcamp. It seems that this causes the system-message. What could be the reason for that: The Photoshop-partition or Bootcamp? Is it possible to erase just the PS-partition and then install Lion or do I have to reformat the disk?

Getting Platform not supported for media spanning on Mac OSX
Managed to get to unpack "Archive: j2eesdk-1_4-linux.bin"
but getting
warning [j2eesdk-1_4-linux.bin]: 343376 extra bytes at beginning or within zipfile
(attempting to process anyway)
In spirit I try the next step:
java -cp package/PackageFormat.jar:. appserv
but get:
Platform not supported for media spanning: com.sun.wizards.media.Mac_os_xMediaSupport
FYI The misc zip files (jdk, imq, ant etc ) are unexpanded
Any advice most welcome!
TimYes, I got this too when I tried that. I've analyzed the source for appserv.class. What Sun did was sneak in lots of classes into the tail end of the file and this class loads from itself. It's a ClassLoader. I don't see why they did this when they could have used a .jar. To look at debugging output, you can put the following command line flags on: -Dwizard.debug=true -Dwizard.debugClassLoading=true. Kind of interesting actually. To chase this further, one could hack the decompiled source to spit out the class files as it loads them so that they could be decompiled further, especially looking at the Linux implementation. Hopefully it could be stubbed out to work satisfactory enough.
What I've done to get the J2EE.jar is rummage through the "packages" directory. I found both SUNWascmn.zip and SUNWasu.zip to have useful libraries. I also observed the libraries end in .jar.pack. The PackageFormat.jar file contains 2 classes, one for packing and one for unpacking. Check out the class sun.tools.pack.Unpack. It'll display usage. I ran this against some jar.pack's of interest to me, notable j2ee.jar.pack of course and it decompressed it. By the way, the pack format is JSR 200 http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=200 which is supposedly in Java 1.5.
That was fun :-)
But yeah... it really pisses me off that Sun doesn't seem to acknowledge Mac OS X as a Java platform for the language they developed to be cross platform. What irony! -
Message uses a character set that is not supported by the internet service
Does any one have any advice on how to fix this problem?
E-mails sent from my iphone 3G periodically arrive in an unreadable form at the recipient. The body of the e-mail has been replaced with the message "This message uses a character set that is not supported by the internet service...." The problem e-mails also include an attachment that contains an unformatted text file containing the original message surrounded by what appears to be lots of formatting data that is displayed as gibberish.
This occurs sometimes, but not always, even with the same recipients. I am sending e-mail through a G-mail account that is configured on the iphone using IMAP. I have tried the gmail account to use the two available formatting options for mail, but neither fixes the problem.
I have also upgraded to 2.01 and restored a few times without impact.Hi,
I got somewhat similar problem with special charecters(German umlaud �,�,�..).
I create a file with java having special charecters in it. Now if I open this file I am able to view the special charecters in it.But If I attach this file send it using following code then receiver can not see the umlaud charecters in it.They get replaced by _ or ?
MimeBodyPart mbp2 = new MimeBodyPart();
FileDataSource fds = new FileDataSource(fileName);
mbp2.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fds));
mbp2.setFileName(output.getName());
Multipart mp = new MimeMultipart();
mp.addBodyPart(mbp2);
msg.setContent(mp);
Transport.send(msg);
From you message it looks like you are able to send the mail attachment correctly(by preserving special charecters).
Can you tell me what might be wrong in my code.
I appriciate your efforts in advance.

Load balancing 10g forms - Connection from new browser window not supported
Load balancing 10g forms - Connection from new browser window not supported
We're experimenting with using webcache to load balance between multiple applications servers running OC4J forms processes.
We currently have one machine with infrastructure and mid-tier (BI & Forms) installed, which is being used for the webcache functionality, this is load balancing between 2 other servers each of which just have the mid-tier (BI & Forms) installation
In order to get this to work, I had to follow the instructions in the Forms deployment guide : http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_11/web.1012/b14032/tuning.htm#sthref707
The main gist of this is that you need to set the following in the orion-web.xml file in order that the sessions are maintained:
<session-tracking
cookies="enabled">
</session-tracking>
This all works fine in most cases.
The problem I am having is if I do one of the following on the client machine:
1) From IE6 / IE7 run a copy of a forms application. Then open a new window using the "New Window" menu option, and attempt to run another forms application.
2) In IE7 or Firefox 2.0 open a copy of the forms application, and then open a new tab and try and open another forms application.
If I try either of these I get a FRM-92101 error, and the following is displayed in the java console:
oracle.forms.net.ConnectionException: Connection from new browser window not supported
From trawling various forums (including metalink and otn) it looks like a problem with the way coockies are handled.
Unfortunately the usual workaround is to ensure that the session tracking option in the orion-web.xml file is disabled.
The problem is that I need this enabled in order for the load balancing to work.
Does anyone know of any other workarounds or patches that might help resolve this?
We're using Application server 10.1.2.0.2 running on windows 2003 servers.You were right. Carriage returns were stopping it from working (the document is laid out over separate lines, so I assumed it would make no difference...).
I've now managed to get it so the forms at least run, but they are all being run in the forms OC4J instance on the same machine as the OHS.
Has anyone actually managed to get this to work, or am I doing something wrong?
I did wonder if using an OHS instance on a machine with no forms installation would make any difference?
I had raised a support call via metalink on this subject, but they eventually came to the conclusion that the only way to do this is with a hardware load balancer (Despite several documents suggesting that webcache is the way to go (including the forms deployment manual)).
I'm at the point now of giving up and writing some custom scripts to do the job instead... -
Hello,
Am trying to upgrade a SCOM SP1 environment to SCOM R2( 3 MGT servers, 1 GW and 2 Web console boxes )
The prerequisites are failing and it is stating the following ;
Operational Database SQL Version Check - The installed Version of SQL Server is not supported for the operational database
Data Warehouse SQL Version Check - The installed Version of SQL Server is not supported for the data warehouse
The SQL servers are running SQL 2012 SP1 64 Enterprise, which is compatible.
All other pre-upgrade tasks have been done.
Help appreciated!I'm having the exact same issue, I believe. I think that Tubble has problem with SCOM 2012. Not 2007.
I've checked the compatibility list for both SCOM 2012 SP1 and R2. All newer Windows Server and SQL versions are supported. We're running the SQL 2012 SP1 x64 Standard edition on a Windows Server 2012 Standard.
I even tried to move the database from SQL 2012 to an older SQL 2008 R2, but that's not supported either. Only upgrading. Not downgrading.
So, I started checking the opsMgrSetupWizard.log file for clues. And the error message was there as well. But the reason why it says not supported is that it can't get the info about the OS version, so I guess it assumes the OS version is to low. The RPC
service can not be reached.

So, in our case this was just a FW that was blocking some high ports between management server and SQL. I believe TCP port 135 also needs to be open.
Let's hope this fixes your issue as well, Tubble.
Have a great day! -

I just upgraded my older G5 from tiger to leopard and it is now at 10.5.8, I was unaware that the new system did not support the classic envoirnment and cannot access my 6.0 version of Photoshop, which I use often...how do I get P.S. up and going again?
Niel...
I installed Leopard 10.5.6 and then it upgraded to 10.5.8, when I installed it I had the old info saved to a "previous systems" folder, where most of my artwork, etc. were saved, I have a one terabyte Lacie backup that unfortunately did not work as it was intended...it saved the new info and not the old. I did look into the system preferences folder and found the classic file, of course it wouldn't launch...but I have the old G 5 startup discs and will try to do it as you stated. I will try also to move it out of the previous folders file to my hard drive and see how that works.
thank you for your time and help,

DVDPro3- "Device Not Supported for requested burn operation"
Hello All,
In build and format I get "device not supported for requested burn operation."
On my iMac G4
Using DVD Pro 3.0.2
Mac OSX 10.3.9
And a LaCie Superwriter external burner.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Alin case anyone else has a similar problem... SOLUTIONS:
formating to hard disc as an .img and then burning with toast works.
Also I found downloading and installing the device profile patches from www.patchburn.de got the burner to be recognised by both DVDSP and Disc Utility. Lot's of people recommend this source.
Another tip was to zap the PRAM but that did nothing. Nor did deleting the preferences file.
No idea why things stopped working in the first place but hope this helps others. -
I have a newer MacBook Pro and I am trying to download my Final Cut Pro 7 Studio 2 on it. Is that possible or does the new MacBook Pro not support anything other than Final Cut Pro X?
As Tom said the FCS forum is the better place to post the question.
Here is Apple's best practices doc for installing both on the same system.
BTW, FCP7 is part of the FCS 3 suite of apps.
