Problem with Nano and Alpine KCA-420i

I own a Alpine KCA-420i iPod interface for the car. It worked perfectly with my iPod Mini. However with Nano, the KCA-420i doesn't seem to wake the Nano up when the car starts. The only way to wake it up is to physically disconnect the cable between the Nano and the KCA-420i and plug it back in again. Then everything works fine. Ipod Nano comes to life and music begins to play through the stereo.
Clearly, the iPod Mini and iPod Nano behave differently with respect to being woken up from 3rd party interfaces !!

Let alpine know, they told me they were working on getting the KCA20i compatible with the nano.

Any ideas on problem with ipod and alpine cde-9881 car stereo

I have an ipod 60gb v 1.2.1 and a new Alpine car stereo with Ipod connecting cable. When connected, the stereo message reads IPod searching. It never assumes control of ipod,or quits searching. I have reset and restored my ipod, had the apple geek at genius bar check it out. My ipod does not play on the alpine ipod ready stereo in my husband's car, nor the stereos in Car Toys. My husband's 30 gb ipod plays on the stereo in his car AND my car. Help! Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem? Alpine is telling me it could be a software problem with my ipod, and to revert to an earlier version of itunes. But my husband's ipod works in my car. So I did a restore using his computer and itunes....no luck. am interested in any ideas on a possible solution!!
Thanks in advance

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? If not, have a look at the bottom section that covers what to try if the message keeps reappearing: iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore
Towards the end it says "If after restoring your iPod, the message described above reappears, the iPod drive letter may need to be reassigned. See the "Change the Drive Letter" section of this document for steps to assign a different drive letter" which contains a link to this article: Windows confuses iPod with network drive and iTunes may exhibit strange behavior in relation to the iPod.

Problems with Nano and Lanyard...

I recently sent my Nano back to Apple for service . I use my Nano to Work out with along with a Crystal Case and Lanyard Headphones. When you workout people tend to sweat and because of the horrible design on Apples part they Claim that it is My Fault and will not repair it...Essentially it is my fault that their design makes the outcome a Customer problem and they "Decline Service. I cannot get them to repair or replace my Ipod for this reason. I own 4 Ipods and this will be the last one I ever own. They did not even try to contact me via Email or Phone, which their "Agreement" States when you sign on for Service. "Apple, Matbe you should call the Customer before you make Claims about Customer Neglect...Or do you not Know what a Customer is...That Nano is in the same condition today than the day I purchased it. I will be obtaining legal council..I BET, I am not the only person with this problem.

We are all customers. Apple Employees will not usually post here.
We can do nothing with your repair ID. We are not Apple. So, you want to obtain legal council, okay. What would you like us to do with that information?
Apple never said that they would contact you if they decline service. "Matbe" you should read the agreement a little more closely before making threats on a user-to-user support forum...
If you would like to get this resolved, then try giving Apple a call...
Apple Phone Numbers
(I would keep reading)
99.8% of the time (not real statistical data, don't want to be sued), Apple will not give you what you want when you are rude or threaten them.
Be kind on the phone, explain the situation and explain how you feel you didn't damage your iPod nano in any way. Ask them for more information on why your service request was denied.
We cannot do anything for you here...

Problems with Nano and itunes

How are yas?
Ok I am having serious problems getting my Nano to be recognized by itunes. The Nano is recognized by both windows and the ipod updater but there is no option to update in itunes itself.
If i connect the ipod to my usb it will fire up itunes automatically which suggests there is some kind of recognition, but unfortunately this is not much help if the update option is still not available in itunes.
I thought this was software conflict so I tried the same processes to try and get it working on my other 2 machines but still the problem remains.
Im am qualified to work at computers so I do have a fair knowledge, but still after everything ive tried ive had no luck.
I have followed this link to the last word, everything on this page has been tried on my 3 computers aswell as various other problem pages ive read throughout the net :
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
You still awake?
Where do I go from here?

Hiya and thanks for the reply.
No the ipod does not show in the source list, when it was new it did show in this list with the name I gave it at the time although I cant remember it. First time installation was without problems, I think the process of naming the ipod and typing the serial number bounded the two together if you will
Should I not be prompted again for my serial number and stuff because this is a new itunes version? I cant think of much else to try except a fresh windows install.
Thanks

Want iPhone/iPod controls while using Alpine KCA-420i interface.

Hello:
I currently have a Alpine KCA-420i controller to interface with my iPhone. However I really don't like scrolling through music on the Alpine head unit (HU). I would prefer to use the iPhone's iPod interface however when I plug my phone in to the Alpine KCA-420i is disables the iPod controls on the phone and only allows the HU to control the music selection and playing. Does anyone know of work arounds for this?
BTW... it was stated that controlling the iPod from the HU is safer than from the iPod/iPhone itself but I beg to differ. It is a lot easier to navigate the iPhone menus and the small 3 line display on the Alpine HU.... you have to scroll forever on the HU.
Thanks,
Marvin

I have an alpine HU in my truck and I just use I believe its called Ai-net to RCA and then use a RCA to mini jack to plug in my iPhone. Works perfectly when listening to music and I receive a call it dims my music then I just swipe to answer not unlocking of phone to go to speaker phone. My only problem is I need a better quality RCA cord because I am getting GSM buzz through my stereo only when talking to someone through my car;s speakers.

Problem with JFrame and busy/wait Cursor

Hi -- I'm trying to set a JFrame's cursor to be the busy cursor,
for the duration of some operation (usually just a few seconds).
I can get it to work in some situations, but not others.
Timing does seem to be an issue.
There are thousands of posts on the BugParade, but
in general Sun indicates this is not a bug. I just need
a work-around.
I've written a test program below to demonstrate the problem.
I have the problem on Solaris, running with both J2SE 1.3 and 1.4.
I have not tested on Windows yet.
When you run the following code, three JFrames will be opened,
each with the same 5 buttons. The first "F1" listens to its own
buttons, and works fine. The other two (F2 and F3) listen
to each other's buttons.
The "BUSY" button simply sets the cursor on its listener
to the busy cursor. The "DONE" button sets it to the
default cursor. These work fine.
The "SLEEP" button sets the cursor, sleeps for 3 seconds,
and sets it back. This does not work.
The "INVOKE LATER" button does the same thing,
except is uses invokeLater to sleep and set the
cursor back. This also does not work.
The "DELAY" button sleeps for 3 seconds (giving you
time to move the mouse into the other (listerner's)
window, and then it behaves just like the "SLEEP"
button. This works.
Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks.

I've had the same problems with cursors and repaints in a swing application, and I was thinking of if I could use invokeLater, but I never got that far with it.
I still believe you would need a thread for the time consuming task, and that invokeLater is something you only need to use in a thread different from the event thread.

Problem with installing and running some applications or drivers

When installing and installing some items, towards the end of the installation I get this message:
/System/Library/Extensions/comcy_driver_USBDevice.kext
*was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it or contact product's vendor for update*
The end result is that some things do not seem to work properly, such as my HP printer. Would anybody have any ideas on how to fix this problem?

Thank you for your response. Originally, I had a problem with Airport and ended up reinstalling Snow Leopard. Since then, when downloading upgrades etc, such as HP printer drivers, iTunes etc., towards the end of the download when its running the script, I get this message: /System/Library/Extensions/comcy_driver_USBDevice.kext
+was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it or contact product's vendor for update+
Sometimes, the download hangs and is unable to complete. The main problem I've encountered so far with an application is when I use the printer to scan an image via Preview, it's blank: there's nothing there.

Problems with outlook and address book contacts: my outlook contacts had around 3,000 entries. Outlook duplicated by itself and now outlook and address book have each over 340,000. What should I do?

Problems with outlook and address book contacts: my outlook contacts had around 3,000 entries. Outlook duplicated entries and have now 340,000. I reinstalled microsoft office and, thus, outlook, and reinstalled mac OS X system and applications. While I managed to delete outlook contacts so that I can re-sync with my blackberry, the contacts at Mac Address Book were not deleted and still have over 340,000 entries. I do not mind deleting all contacts since I have back up, but I have not been able to delete them. Also, when I go at Address Book and try to delete or merge duplicated entries, the system takes forever and never ends because of such large amount of entries. Worse, when I do so I run out of RAM memory.
My Macbook pro is just 2 months old.
What should I do? Is there a way to delete my Mac Address Book without having the problem above?
Many thanks
Regis

Problems with Safari and Firefox (HTTP?)

Problems with Safari and Firefox (HTTP?)
On a laptop G4, 10.5.8 and Safari 5.02 I experience the following:
On the account of my oldest daughter everything works fine, i.e. wireless internet works and no problems with mail or safari.
On the same laptop, on the account of my other daughter, the wireless is OK, she can mail etc. But safari nor firefox works. It says: can’t find server (whatever site) and in the activity window it looks if safari tries to open files (in the safari preferences-folder) in stead of http. Same applies to Firefox, so maybe it has more to do with HTTP in general?
What goes wrong? What to do? I tried the following on the host terminal (tips from Apple)
defaults write com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled -boolean false
and
defaults delete com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled
but that did not help,

PC does seem to be a bit odd & inconsistent, the few times I've tested with it, at least so far as we content filtering goes; and if I remember rightly, you're not the first to report previously ok settings suddenly preventing some or all internet until pc is switched off altogether.
It may work when re-enabled

Problem with DMGs and error: "No Mountable File Systems"

Problem with DMGs and error: "No Mountable File Systems"
The files are not corrupt. The problem is occurring with all DMGs that are apparently formatted in MS-DOS FAT16. No the file will not mount with Disk utility or any other disk mounter programs I have found.
This is now the second time this occurred and now effects my MBP and my iMac. First time i spent days with Apple support and the only solution was ultimately back up the data, reformat the HD, start over from scratch and reload everything. That lasted about a month before the problem resurfaced and is now an issue on both iMac and MBP.
I tried to identify all the programs I installed immediately before the error, as I am convinced it is the result of a software conflict.
Recent programs includes:
1) upgrading from Parallels 5.5 to 6.0 on both machines.
2) using an HP secure II usb drive and setting up a secure disk.
3) installing new itunes 10
4) new update to Flip For Mac.
The files affected are downloaded dmgs, including personal brain and google earth, both which are formatted in FAT16.
Any help or thoughts? Apple has now spent hours trying and they say i now have to reformat and wipe and start over. That is unacceptable and based on pasted experience the problem is likely to repeat itself. having to wipe and rebuild a HD ever month is not an solution. i need to fid the root problem.
In the meantime, anyone got a real solution on how to extract the data for a DMG using a different method?
Message was edited by: remaia

Where you able to find the solution, i am having the same problem, all was fine till i install some programs only same one i saw did we both did was flip4mac i uninstalled it but the problem is still there, i also restored and erased the hardrive but im not up to doing that all over again. If you found anything out let me know i would greatly appreciate it

Problem with Send and Receive Emal In SAP System

Hi gurus!
I have a following quote:
Dear !
I have a problem with send and receive email in SAP system following :
I want to test send and receive email in local network at my company. I
had two server
Server 1 : I setup Exchange Mail Server 2007 with domain controller is
fes.com
Server 2 : I setup SAP ERP ECC 6.0
On Server 1 : I created 2 account ( u1Afes.com and u2Afes.com ) and then I tested send and receive email between u1 and u2 in local network through Microsoft Outlook 2007 -> OK
and then
On Server 2: I had configured send and receive email on SAP system
through tcode SBWP, SCOT and SOST as Note 455140 - "Configuration of
e-mail, fax, paging or SMS using SMTP"
for example :
I logged in SAP system with user Basis01 (with email u1Afes.com ) -> then,using tcode SBWP -> new message -> send to u2Afes.com with Internet Mail type and then status message with green light -> sending ok
and then I have used Microsoft Outlook 2007, I logged with account u2 ->check email -> Ok. I saw message which send from u1
Finally, My problem is how can receive mail in SAP system without using Microsoft Outlook
For example:
Login system SAP with Basis01 account (with u1Afes.com ) -> tcode SBWP ->New Message -> send to u2Afes.com
and then
Login system SAP with Basis02 account (with u2Afes.com ) -> tcode ??? ->
To receive email from Basis01 (with u1Afes.com )
Please help me now
Thanks
I replace "@" with "A" because of banning email of this forum.
This quote is about sending email in local network. And we can't receive any email from the outside email address. Addition if I wanna send email to internal email in Internet (we've just tried with email address in local network) What should I config in SAP and Exchange ?
By the way, Is SAP Server IP added to Relay Agent for sending or receiving mail ?

Edited by: An NLP on Apr 6, 2010 7:03 PM

Hi,
This problem is a classic problem of mail routing via Exchange. Exchange like most mail servers use the domain part of the email address as a means to route mails. So I will make an assumption that your main company mail addrss is "User @ fes.com".
So when you send a mail to the "User @ fes.com mail" address the mail is delivered to your Outlook mail address as this is the default route for company.
(Q) So how do you get your Exchange server to relay the mail into the sending SAP system?
(A) The easiest way would be to setup and unique mail domain for your SAP system. I always recommend "user @ client.sid.company.com" which in your case would be "u1 @ 100.PRD.fes.com". You can then instruct Exchange to send any emails addressed to 100.PRD.fes.com domain to your SAP system. Also using this format of address you can configure multiple mail connections into multiple SAP systems.
(A) Another answer would be to enter the "Full" email address (LOcal and Domain part of address) into the routing rule for Exchange e.g. "U1 @ fes.com" so that all emails addressed to this user will be delivered into SAP. However this method requires a lot of Admin as you will have to update Exchange with ALL email address that need to receive emails. Also if your corporate mail address is "U1 @ fes.com" then all mails will be forwarded to SAP.
I would definitely NOT recommend this method but the decision is up to you.
P.S. The IP address of the SAP system is entered into the mail header of the email. This is standard practice in SMTP relay. You can suppress this header in Exchange
Hope this helps

Problem with Speaker and Headset in Windows Vista

Hi, I just got my Macbook Pro 13" and having problem with speaker and headset when working with Windows Vista (I have installed the driver from bootcamp). The sound very weak if I play music from Itunes or youtube even the volume already full and if i put my headset the sound not coming out. Is there anyone can help me to solve this problem?
Regards,Edwin

When you post about Windows / Boot Camp, in Mac Pro (workstation) forum where others with a MacBOOK would be more likely to have same hardware configuration, and you won't find Windows drivers on Apple downloads. More like at
http://www.guru3d.com or other sites, or go to RealTek (if that is the type of audio you have).

Problem with trigger and entity in JHeadsart, JBO-25019

Hi to all,
I am using JDeveloper 10.1.2 and developing an application using ADF Business Components and JheadStart 10.1.2.27
I have a problem with trigger and entity in JHeadsart
I have 3 entity and 3 views
DsitTelephoneView based on DsitTelephone entity based on DSIT_TELEPHONE database table.
TelUoView based on TelUo entity based on TEL_UO database table.
NewAnnuaireView based on NewAnnuaire entity based on NEW_ANNUAIRE database view.
I am using JHS to create :
A JHS table-form based on DsitTelephoneView
A JHS table based on TelUoView
A JHS table based on NewAnnuaireView
LIB_POSTE is a :
DSIT_TELEPHONE column
TEL_UO column
NEW_ANNUAIRE column
NEW_ANNUAIRE database view is built from DSIT_TELEPHONE database table.
Lib_poste is an updatable attribut in TelUo entity, DsitTelephone entity, NewAnnuaire entity.
Lib_poste is upadated in JHS table based on TelUoView
I added a trigger on my database shema « IAN » to upadate LIB_POSTE in DSIT_TELEPHONE database table :
CREATE OR REPLACES TRIGGER “IAN”.TEL_UO_UPDATE_LIB_POSTE
AFTER INSERT OR UPDATE OFF lib_poste ONE IAN.TEL_UO
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
UPDATE DSIT_TELEPHONE T
SET t.lib_poste = :new.lib_poste
WHERE t.id_tel = :new.id_tel;
END;
When I change the lib_poste with the application :
- the lib_poste in DSIT_TELEPHONE database table is correctly updated by trigger.
- but in JHS table-form based on DsitTelephoneView the lib_poste is not updated. If I do a quicksearch it is updated.
- in JHS table based on NewAnnuaireView the lib_poste is not updated. if I do a quicksearch, I have an error:
oracle.jbo.RowAlreadyDeletedException: JBO-25019: The row of entity of the key oracle.jbo. Key [null 25588] is not found in NewAnnuaire.
25588 is the primary key off row in NEW_ANNUAIRE whose lib_poste was updated by the trigger.
It is as if it had lost the bond with the row in the entity.
Could you help me please ?
Regards
Laurent
