Oracle deinstall doesnt work. I guess you have to reinstall windows?

we could not get 11g R2 to work on a new Windows 2008 server.
So now we need to remove it.
According to this document: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32007/deinstall.htm#CIHJCJHC
The correct way to uninstall is to:
1) Start Oracle Universal Installer.
2) Click the Deinstall Products button
3) Select the Oracle home you wish to remove.
4) Check the boxes of components to remove (tediously you have to check every box)
5) Click remove.
But when you do this, a dialogue pops up and says:
"please run the command c:\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\deinstall\deinstall to deinstall Orcacle".
WTH?
Why is the documentation wrong, and why do they tell you to use the installer to deinstall, if its just going to tell you to run a command line?
When you run this, it says:
Specify all Single Instance listeners that are to be de-configured [LISTENER]:
WTH? How does one specify all single instance listeners?
There are litterally hundreds of pages of documentation on how to uninstall oracle - something which should be a trival task. But I cant find any mention of how to find out how to specify all single instance listeners.
In desperation, I tried hitting enter, at least takes you to the next gotcha:
The details of database(s) ORCL have been discovered automatically. Do you still want to modify the details of ORCL data
base(s)? [n]:
WTH? Why would I want to modify the details of a database? I want to delete oracle and everything it has installed, not modfy details. Should I say yest or no? I have NO idea. Give me more options, or dont ask at all!
If I say y, it says:
Specify the type of this database (1.Single Instance Database|2.Oracle Restart Enabled Database) [1]:
What? I have NO idea what the difference between these two options are. This was never mentioned in the installation process, so way ask now? Why doesnt it just delete the DB as I requested?
At this point I gave up.
Oracle is the worst SW on windows I have seen. Its impossible for a unix and windows sys admin with 20 years experience to even install or remove.

I did not have time to read through it all, but what it said at the start:"Problem:1) cannt connect to oracle outside of box. Get "TNS Connection timeout occured"2) em console "Sepecify Host and Target Database Credentials" always says "Connection refused: connect", even though the OS user/pass and DB user/pass are correct."Looks a bit like firewall related.Check listener.log for any connection attempts from remote machines.> the listener wont start (no errors, just dies), I think it would be better to focus on a specific issue like that one, rather than reinstalling until something changes.Bring up a command line window. Try 'lsnrctl start' and post back a copy-paste of complete session.> and when you enter the server/orale user/pass in em console it simply says cant connect. That would be secondary if listener doesn't work. The em server is just another client to the database.

The home button on my iPad has became faulty, it works sometimes although you have to press it really hard. Can Apple fix this for me?

The home button on my iPad has became faulty, it works sometimes although you have to press it really hard. Can Apple fix this for me?

They might be able to. If it's an iPad 2 then it is still within the warranty period, so as long as it's due to accidental damage it might be fixed/replaced free of charge. Have you tried contacting Apple ? I don't know what country you are in, and whether you are near an Apple store, but you could try looking on this page for your service options.
Before you do that you could try a reset and see if it that helps : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons (assuming that it works) for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

HT201401 Sleep/Wake button is not working. Do you have any suggestions how can I fix this?

Hi, I bought an iPhone5 in Sydney on 17 Sep 2012 (through Apple online store-Weborder no. W425361396) while I was studying there. Now I already went back to my home country (Thailand). And I got a problem with my iPhone5. The Sleep/Wake button is not working. Do you have any suggestions how can I fix this?
Looking forward to hear from you.
Best regards,
Apiradee

You will have to return the iPhone to Australia .The iPhone warranty is not international .
Warranty and service is only provided in Country of original sale
You could try a reset followed if required by a restore initially with backup and then again if required as new
If that makes no difference it will be a hardware issue and you will have to return it to Australia

I am trying to set up my apple tv using the hospital network. I am able to detect the network and chose it. But the way the system works is that you have to agree to the terms and conditions of using their network before access the internet. How do I accomplish this with apple? Please help.

There are some other options to you, if you're not at home and nobody is using your router you could set it up at the hospital, if this isn't an option you could get a second router and use it. Many ethernet routers are available on the cheap, and ethernet cables are cheap too.
Also, a macbook can share it's internet via the built in wifi it has. See this go to settings-sharing-internet sharing and configure as desired. This may require an internet connection via ethernet. But you should be able to create a wifi network for using something like airplay/home sharing.

Get a replacement phone. If it is still covered by warranty it will not cost anything. See: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do

Airport setup asst. doesnt work. Is there way to use Windows to add airpor

Airport setup asst. doesnt work. Is there way to use Windows to add airport express to my current linksys network so that my iTunes will play through my stereo?
Previously the air-assit recognized the air-exp unit but kept asking for a password to continue. I tried passwords like admin and public but nothing worked. Then Windows network connections kept trying to connect my laptop to the internet using the air-exp. Don't remember what I did to fix that problem but now my laptop doesn't try using it to connect me to internet anymore.
However, now air-asst. doesn't read the air-exp anymore. Windows network connections DOES read it now but doesn't try to use it anymore to connect me to the internet.
I have a linksys WAP and separate linksys router. If memory serves, when I firt got the air-exp about 6 months ago I could not connect either and Apple tech support had to help me. I think, but not sure, they had me use Windows to add the air-exp to my wireless network. Also if my memory serves me, but not sure, I had to type in either some IP or MAC addresses in order to get the air-exp to connect to my existing network. I DO remember thinking after it was finally working that "Wow, this is definately NOT a plug and play thing." It wasn't very easy to set up.
I lost my laptops wireless connection last week and couldn't connect to my network and had to call linksys tech support. They had me input a new IP and DNS address because somehow my laptop "lost" the previous ones. Since then I have not been able to use my air-exp to connect to my stereo.
I have called Apple tech support but since my 90 days is up they want to charge me $49.95 for up to five days worth of tech support. Which I think is a rip off becau linksys will help you out at anytime for fee but that's a topic for another discussion group. Common Apple, how about a $10 charge for one day of tech support, or even just 15 minutes worth to get my gear working again?
Anyway, if anyone knows of any on-line walkthroughs of how to deal with these airport express set-ups or problems please let me know. Or, of course if anyone can walk me through this that would be even better. THANKS

Thank you for your help.
When I run air-util a window called base station chooser comes up and all the fields are blank. When I push "re-scan" nothing happens. When I push "other" a window pops up asking for IP address and password. I typed in the IP address given to me from Linksys tech and tried to move on but it came back asking me to fill in the password. I tried the default linksys password "admin" but it came back with an error.
Do I hard (factory) reset the air-express by simply pushing the reset button or do I have to hold it in while I plug it in or simply push the button for a certain length of time?
Thanks again.

Upgrading from LR4 to 5- do you have to reinstall your presets?

Just wondering upon upgrading, does it automatically import your presets or do you have to reinstall your presets?

Will I lose my bookmarks if I have to reinstall Windows and then download Firefox again?

I have to reinstall Windows XP. I will of course lose all of my programs and will have to reinstall Firefox. When I do that, will I lose my bookmarks, passwords, and other settings?

You should back them up before re-installing Windows. The user data is stored in the profile folder. You can copy the data manually by copying the contents of the profile folder, for details see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup Profile backup - MozillaZine Knowledge Base] or [[Backing up your information]].
There are some add-ons and utilities that can make this process easier. The first one is the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2109/ FEBE] add-on which can be used to copy a profile. Another option is the free [http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/ MozBackup] utility.

HOW DO I SAVE MY BOOKMARKS FROM FIREFOX AS I HAVE TO REINSTALL WINDOW ON MY LAPTOP

HOW DO I SAVE MY BOOKMARKS FROM FIREFOX AS I HAVE TO REINSTALL WINDOW ON MY LAPTOP

This would be a multistep process. First you would need Firefox on your desktop computer then import the bookmarks from IE into Firefox. Then once the bookmarks are in Firefox they can be synced to Firefox mobile.

I guess you have no solution for this :((

youtube video says "no response" every time when i try to watch via mobile data ( wifi works )

Check your configuration settings, both web and access point. There's no reason of YouTube not working other than if your connection is super slow or else if you have invalid settings.

Is it still the case that the Muse CC Forms widget will not work properly unless you have Business Catalyst?

I am looking into options for our next office website redesign. We will definitely need a forms function. I downloaded the Muse CC free trial and went through all of the tutorials. The video on the forms (Contact Form) stated that the forms widget would not work or would not work properly if you do not have Business Catalyst. I'm hoping that has changed since the video was created.
Is this still true that you need to purchase the Business Catalyst product for Muse CC form widgets to work correcty???

Piruki have you tried utilizing the Previous version option within the Creative Cloud Desktop application? You can find additional details under the install Previous version section of CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html.
