OS X 10.5.7 Network control panel / diagnostics

Since updating to 10.5.7 the diagnostics accessed from the network control panel no longer show a correct status. That is, it shows both ISP and Internet as "failed", even though I am successfully connected to both. This persists even if I create a new location from scratch. Any suggestions?

Hi
I am sorry I am not sure what you are referring to. There is no such thing on a mac called the network control mac, control panels have not existed on a mac since OS9. Microsoft stole the term and they still use it on their systems.
If you are referring to the Network System Preference Panel found in
System Preferernces --> Network
Diagnostics are found by clicking on the 'assist me button'
If this is what you are referring to, when you say its not showing the correct status what exactly does it state.
Can you also state how you network is configured are you using DHCP or a fixed IP address. What is the make of your router?

When I try to uninstall my itunes I go to my control panel to remove the Apple "Application, Mobile Device, software support" then i get a pop up saying that "the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" I cant find it. Its preventing me from re installing the new itunes.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:

Does it go through properly this time?

Why doesn't photo stream for iCloud control panel allow network drives?

I have just installed the iCloud control panel for my PC and was very excited about the possibilities that it would open up for my numerous i-devices and large photo library. The simple setup works just fine by putting my photo stream files into the default 'My Pictures' folder. Unfortunately, that is not where I keep my pictues, they are all organized on a mapped network drive (local network). The photo stream options in the iCloud control panel do not allow me to select a network drive as a storage location.
Is the inability to select a network drive for storage a deliberate decision or is this a bug?

I am experiencing the same problem
This is really frustrating! What is the technical difficulty in making this available? This disables all users who use NAS from using Photo Stream.
What a huge oversight.

I do not see the LAN adapter and Wifi adapter in Control Panel Network Connections. Why?

Hi,
I am unable to connect to any network. When I started digging in, I reached to Control Panel > Network Connections. There I don't find any icons related to LAN connection or Wireless connection. Why could this be happening? How to investigate it further?

Your scenario #1 is a correct configuration and should work. It seems as though your Extreme is not acting as a router as I believe you intend.
Most likely, you need to reset your modem. Power it down and let it rest for a few moments. Some need longer than others. Then, I recommend you "hard reset" your Extreme (see below) and configure it again, after the modem has been reset. From then on do not change what is connected to your modem without powering it down first.
Once configured, confirm your Extreme's wireless network works as expected and that your iPad and every other wireless device can load web pages. Then, connect the printer directly to one of the Extreme's LAN ports and confirm that it works as well. After that it should work equally well with a switch between it and the Extreme, as should every other wired device connected to the switch. This assumes your switch is an unmanaged device requiring no specific configuration.
Scenario #2: Having a router connected downstream of another is not a normal configuration, so don't pursue that as a solution. It will only distract you from determining the problem. If you want to repurpose Router X as another device do so only after everything else is working to your satisfaction.
To "hard reset" an AirPort Base Station: make sure it's powered up, then press and hold its tiny reset button and keep it depressed for five to ten seconds, long enough for its LED to flash amber rapidly. Release the reset button. Then, the LED will glow amber steadily for about a minute. Then, it will flash amber, slowly, about once every second or two, waiting for you to configure it with AirPort Utility.

Setting Network access from JInitiator Control Panel 1.1.8.3

We were trying to use the GetClientInfo JavaBean from the Oracle Technology Network to read the clients IP address from the Web server. We were able to do this by setting the Network access to Unrestricted on the JInitiator Control Panel 1.1.8.3.
Is it possible to get this to work without setting the Network access to Unrestricted?
Also, does anybody know of any security concerns with setting the network access to Unrestricted?
Thanks in Advance,
Todd

Hey Todd - I've been able to get the ip address without setting it to unrestricted.
I can't tell you why you site requires this.
Could you let me know what you learn?

Excel-2007 cannot connect to Oracle ODBC data source, Control Panel can.


I cannot make an ODBC connection from Exce-2007 to Oracle work. I am an expert Excel and VBA user (since 1994) and I have frequently used Excel to access ODBC databases, including Oracle (I have done this with Excel-2003 both with worksheet queries and have written VBA ADO-connection routines). And even though in Excel-2007 a worksheet ODBC query is supposed to be easier to create than in previous version of Excel, my connection fails. Any suggestions and all help are welcome and much appreciated.
DETAILS


1) What is my system? I am using Excel-2007 on Windows Vista x64 and Oracle server v.11g on my computer (all this is on my computer, no network issues).
2) Why use Excel with Oracle at all? I use Excel-2007 to access Oracle rather than Access-2007 (or any other application like TOAD, etc.) because I do engineering calculations with the data stored in Oracle. These calculations are easier done in Excel (I suppose that one alternative to this could be to use some sql or Access to get the data from the database, then store it as plain vanilla CSV file, then open this file in Excel, then do the math (the math involves complex optimisation algorithms), then save the results as CSV, then use some sql or Access to put the data back into the database. Howwever this does not strike me as a quick or neat solution. And after all Excel has been designed to access ODBC databases, so why not use it?)
3) What do I do in Excel-2007 that won't work? I create an ODBC link to Oracle that does not work. In Excel-2007 this is straightforward:

<ul>
<li>define an ODBC connection (Data tab --> From other sources --> From data connection wizard);</li>
<li>define a query on the worksheet -- that's it, this is all!</li>
</ul>

I start with creating an ODBC connection:
a) I choose an ODBC data source type: ODBC DSN
b) Excel-2007 displays the list of the available ODBC data sources. I see in it my Oracle database name and I select it.
c) Excel-2007 displays the Data Link Properties:
- the "Provider" has a list of the OLE DB drivers with preselected "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers". I keep this default selection.
- the "Connection" tab has a connection string "DSN=<my database name>" which I keep, it also has fields for the user name and the password, which I fill with the correct credentials.
- Finally there is a button "Test Connection", which when I click produces the following error message:
"Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. 
Unespecified error"

4) Additional food for thought:
a) In the above walk-through the only data, which I type, are the user name and password, everything else is selected from lists offered by Excel-2007, hence any possibility of typos being the cause of the problem can safely be discarded.
b) I can test the ODBC driver in the Control Panel and it shows that it can connect to the Oracle database:
- in Control Panel --> Admin Tools --> Data Sources (ODBC) on the "User DSN" tab I can see the list of the available ODBC data sources (same list as in Excel-2007, point 3b above) with the name of my database in it;
- selecting the name of my database from the list of the sources and clicking "Configure" button opens a tab with Data Source Name (same as in Excel-2007), TNS Service Name and User ID. I enter <user name>/<password> and click "Test Connection" button. A message "Connection successful" appears (just for a test I enter incorrect user credentials and "Unable to connect" message appears)
BOTTOM LINE


The procedure for using an ODBC connection from Excel is very simple, in the past I have created and used such connections numerous times with Excel-2003 and earlier on Win-XP and earlier. But now on Excel-2007 and Vista-x64 I cannot make it work.
Also, testing an ODBC connection driver is really easy and simple to be done in the Control Panel. There testing the same ODBC connection, which fails in Excel-2007, results in success.
I am frustrated by the simplicity of the problem and yet the persistant error. I have lost now two full days in failed attempts to make the simple procedure work and in searching the internet for answers.

Did you find the solution to your problem?
If not, I think I may know.
Excel 2007 is a 32-bit application.
When installing 32-bit applications in a 64-bit environment, the "default" location is:
C:\Program files (x86)\...
Excel then launches from this location.
However, when it connects to Oracle and passes the name of the calling program, Oracle attempts to "interpret" the value of (x86) as if
the value within the parenthesis are being passed as a reference. Of course, iOracle doesn't find anything, so the result is (),
and then it cannot return the connection info back to the calling application.
I corrected it by installing Excel in C:\Program Files\, and once launched from that location, it works the same as on the 32-bit machines.
However, at my location, they are FORCING Excel to be installed in the(x86) location.
What I'm trying to discover now is:
Is it possible to flag Oracle to NOT process the embedded variables?
Or, is it possible to assign a variable in Oracle such that x86 = "(x86)", so that the end result is viable?
Have you had any luck with your installation?
thanks,
Paul

HP 6500A - Can't get into printer "control panel software" to check ink level, etc.

First let me apologize... I don't know what the correct name is for the software that starts up when you use the printer icon that was installed on my computer's desktop when I installed the printer. I am calling it the "control panel software" for want of a better name.
My printer was setup to work wirelessly on my wireless network and was working fine. The "control panel software" worked fine when I click on the icon on my desktop and I was able to check the ink levels, etc.
I just got a new router and so I had to reconfigure my printer to use my new wireless network settings. It wasn't working properly, so I decided to uninstall and reinstall the HP software for the printer. As part of this it put a new icon on my computer's desktop for accessing the printer "control panel software", another new icon for the scan function, and another for the ePrint Service.
The printer works fine... I can print and scan properly. It successfully connected to my new wireless network and I thought all was well. However, this is not the case.
What is weird is that the "control panel software" icon doesn't take me to the control panel functions any more. When I click on it it takes me back through the process of setting up the printer connection (wireless, wired, USB) again. If I go through that again it tells me everything is installed and lets me set the default printer again and then asks me to register again. So... I think I'm done, but then if I click on the icon again, it goes through this same process again.
Is there any way to stop this endless connection setup and just get to the "control panel software"?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill

What operating system? I recommend not using the software CD as it may be out of date. Get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page.

Cannot uninstall I tunes. In control panel add and remove programs it will not give me the option to remove any of the I tunes. In program files it tells me access denied to remove any of the related items. I have tried using the removal methods from i tu

My i tunes will not work at all. I have tried all the steps given to remove my I tunes player but in my control panel, add and remove programs it does not give me an option to remove any of the apple/ I tunes. I tried to go to program files and remove all the files but access is denied. This all started about 1 1/2 years ago and with every i tunes update i got more and more errors or problems until it stopped working. At one time i could remove and reinstall i tunes to try to fix it but now i cannot do anything. I believe one of the last was i could not open i tune because it was being used or was on another network, not 100% sure its been so long and frustrating I quit trying 6 months ago. Hopefully someones got some help !!!
Thanks I appreciate your time; Philip

Create an association in the folder options control panel.. pop up dialogue

Installed on a win XP OS:
Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1)
Oracle Database 10g Express Edition (Universal)
Oracle Database 10g Express Edition (Western European)
I keep getting this pop up dialogue box whenever I click go to Database Homepage.
"This program does not have a file attached with it to perform this action. Create an association in the folder options control panel."
I'm planning to learn Oracle and SQL*Plus so I'm not sure what version I need for basic usage. I only need the SQL command line and probably an application that can create database or tables easily.
Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you for replying Hans,
I tried to type http://localhost:8080/apex into my browser, the result is:
Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:8080.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
The SQL command line is working, but just going to the Database Home Page would result to that pop up dialogue box. Any idea why this is happening? Thanks.

Color Laserjet pro MFP M176n control panel not working

the control panel in the Color Laserjet pro MFP M176n is not working, is all blank, i can´t see anithhing in it. Is there a reset button or should i take it to the store where i buy it for a checkup?
thank you

Hello @ Averus89,
Welcome to the HP forum. 
I understand you have done quite a lot to resolve your M176n and its connection to the ePrint service. 
I would like to help you with this issue. 
If the printer is not printing the web services info sheet, or allowing you to add it to HP Connected, I
would set a manual DNS. 
I wont go into great detail about setting this up. From your post, I feel you know your way around the printer and your network. If I am mistaken, let me know. I will go into detail. 
The DNS to try is:
Primary: 209.244.0.3
Secondary: 209.244.0.4
Set the DNS then try printing the web services info page again.
Let me know if this helps.
