Question about purchasing apple products for government and militairy personel

Hi everybody,
Forgive me if this isn't the right place to start this thread and for my not perfect English language skills :$
My name is Nick and I live in The Netherlands near Amsterdam.
In February i'm traveling to NYC for a 7-day citytrip.
On the internet i read some things about many discounts for militairy personel, including stories from my fellow Dutch soldiers who also got this discount because The Netherlands are allies with the US within the NATO missions in Afghanistan, Iraq and so on.
I am an active soldier in the Dutch Army.
In The Netherlands all Apple products are more expensive then the US products ( because of the Dutch taxes ).
So you understand why i want to buy the Iphone 4S and Ipad 2 in the US.
Now my question is, can I also get the militairy discount from Apple because I am a NATO allied soldier?
Or does this rule only apply on US soldiers?
I hope some one can help me with this issue, because I don't get enough salary to buy Apple products in The Netherlands.
Thanks in advance,
with kind regards,
Nick

Also realize that the prices in many countries appear higher than US prices because they include taxes. Because sales taxes are different in each state & town/city in the US, the price listed on the website for an iPad is less than what you'd actually be paying - and New York City taxes are not cheap (combined state and city is 8.875%) - so a $499 iPad actually costs $543.29. You might have to pay an import duty when you bring the iPad back, and if you don't you could be charged for it when bringing the iPad into an Apple Store for warranty service - I've been told this is true in the UK, for one.

A question about error with jasperserver for pdf and Apex

I have created a pdf report on jasperserver and I can call it from apex via a url and it displays fine. The url is this format {http://server:port/jasperserver/flow.html?_flowId=viewReportFlow&reportUnit=/reports/Apex/deptemp&output=pdf&deptNo=#DEPTNO#&j_username=un&j_password=pw}
However, I am trying to follow a stored procedure executed from Apex so it would not expose the username/pwd in the url like above.
If I am reading the apache error log correctly it is erroring in this piece of the code below where it executes {Dbms_Lob.writeAppend}
loop
begin
-- read the next chunk of binary data
Utl_Http.read_raw(vResponse, vData);
-- append it to our blob for the pdf file
Dbms_Lob.writeAppend
( lob_loc => vBlobRef
, amount => Utl_Raw.length(vData)
, buffer => vData
exception when utl_http.end_of_body then
exit; -- exit loop
end;
end loop;
Utl_Http.end_response(vResponse);}
The error log says this; HTTP-500 ORA-14453: attempt to use a LOB of a temporary table, whose data has alreadybeen purged\n
What is this error telling me and how can I correct it?
The stored procedure I am following is below but replaced the vReportURL with my url like above that works.
Thank you,
Mark

end runJasperReport;

I am new to working with working with jasperserver to apex interfacing, and also using utl_http with binary data.
But I guess typing my question down helped me figure out a way to make it work for me.
I combined info from http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/misc/RetrievingHTMLandBinariesIntoTablesOverHTTP.php
and from http://sqlcur.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
to come up with this procedure.
{create or replace PROCEDURE download_file (p_url IN VARCHAR2) AS
l_http_request   UTL_HTTP.req;
l_http_response UTL_HTTP.resp;
l_blob           BLOB;
l_raw            RAW(32767);
BEGIN
-- Initialize the BLOB.
DBMS_LOB.createtemporary(l_blob, FALSE);
-- Make a HTTP request, like a browser had called it, and get the response
l_http_request := UTL_HTTP.begin_request(p_url);
Utl_Http.set_header(l_http_request, 'User-Agent', 'Mozilla/4.0');
l_http_response := UTL_HTTP.get_response(l_http_request);
-- Copy the response into the BLOB.
BEGIN
    LOOP
      UTL_HTTP.read_raw(l_http_response, l_raw, 32767);
      DBMS_LOB.writeappend (l_blob, UTL_RAW.length(l_raw), l_raw);
    END LOOP;
EXCEPTION
    WHEN UTL_HTTP.end_of_body THEN
      UTL_HTTP.end_response(l_http_response);
END;
-- make it display in apex
owa_util.mime_header('application/pdf',false);
htp.p('Content-length: ' || dbms_lob.getlength(l_blob));
owa_util.http_header_close;
wpg_docload.download_file(l_blob);
-- Release the resources associated with the temporary LOB.
DBMS_LOB.freetemporary(l_blob);
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
    UTL_HTTP.end_response(l_http_response);
    DBMS_LOB.freetemporary(l_blob);
    RAISE;
END download_file; }
Don;t know what I did wrong, but I could not create an 'on-demand' process to call my procedure. I did not understand what it means when it says 'To create an on-demand page process, at least one application level process must be created with the type 'ON-DEMAND'.
so I had to use a blank page with a call to my procedure in the onload - before header process and that seems to work ok.
Thank you,
Mark

Question about returning Apple products

I'm looking to buy a Macbook Pro from Amazon.com. Can I exchange it at an Apple retail store if there's something wrong with it? Thanks

Hi spectre726;
If you purchase it from Amazon.com, you will probably have to RMA it back to Amazon for repair.

Is there any app to purchase apple products ? Like Apple store app for iPhone ?

Any app for purchasing apple products for mac ?

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
There is not a Mac app for the Apple Store. You must use the Apple Store website to buy Apple products on line;

We got a new Apple TV for Christmas and it works wonderful. However, my question is this. We are on a satelitte internet system and our bandwidth is limited. Can anyone tell me what effect it will have on using up my 10 megs of bandwidth?

We got a new Apple TV for Christmas and it works wonderful. However, my question is this. We are on a satelitte internet system and our bandwidth is limited. Can anyone tell me what effect it will have on using up my 10 megs of bandwidth? If I run over the 10 mgs, the service either slows way down until it is reset on the first of the next month or I have to purchase additional bandwidth and it can get expensive.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

If you only have a 10MB limit on the Internet connection you might as well not have Internet access and certainly should not attempt to stream anything.
If the limit is 10GB, then you will need to be careful with streaming as most video is 1-3GB for a one hour show.

HT1386 How do I create one Apple ID and iTunes user name and password for all of my Apple products: iPad, iPhone, and iPod plus iTunes on my PC?

How do I create one Apple ID and iTunes user name and password for all of my Apple products: iPad, iPhone, and iPod plus iTunes on my PC?

Yes, I do have multiple devices and it appeared to me that every time I tried to sync or log onto iTunes, the password was incorrect. Consequently, I was and am constantly changing it. Wouldn't it be nice if Apple would simply say that you only need one Apple ID and one password regardless of the number of Apple devices you intend to sync via iTunes.
Barring the above, how about a way to merge all of the Apple IDs and passwords into one.

I have an idea about an apple product, who do i reach for?

i have an idea about an apple product, who do i reach for?

I have an idea too, That is about the lock screen on iphone, on new ios guys keep it a little different . lock screen would be just a screen with change able wallpaper no lock sign , and we unlock it be making sign or anything on screen for eg. circle .. as people prefer it , it would be totally free to edit anyway u want ... any gesture .... or shake unlock anything ... the unlock is so not cool on iphone .... though i respect the fact that its a universal device meaning ppl of 80 or 5 yrs old can use it .... and the guy i am commenting on, look apple have this suppor thing becoz they want to know what you think .. and all the things you write here would be seen by some apple team so go on write what you want or your idea here , they will get it for sure !

How to install IPSec Client Certificate for Apple products (iPad,iPhoe and Mac)

We need Ipsec vpn client authentication with certificate (instead of pre-shared key). We tested the same with Windows client and its works fine. However when we used the same certificates with Apple products (iPad, iPhoe and Mac) it doesnt work.
We have two types of certificates installed on the client from the CA server.
One is the root certificate with the extenstion .cer
and the other one is client certificate with the extension of .pfx (personal informaiton exchange)
We can not find a proper document to install certificates and client configuration for iPad,iPhoe and Mac. We need to know what type of certificates needed, what are the certificate formats and how to install etc.
Appreciate if someone has implemented this and share any documents.
thanks

This will be helpful for you :-

I have a question about my Apple ID which is my email

The email on which my Apple ID is associated with has been hacked
therefore i have made a new email address which i have changed all my online
accounts to. However im afraid to do so with Itunes im worried that i will
loose the apps and movies and song etc that i have purchased or if they will send an
email confirmation to the hacked email account.
can someone please help me as to what i should do and how i should do it?
Thank you

Hi Aysha84,
As long as this email that is your Apple ID does not end in mac.com, me.com or icloud.com you can change it as well as associate it with a different email address. That way you will retain control of all content from the Apple ID. See this article for how to change the Apple ID -
Change your Apple ID - Apple Support
Be sure to follow through with the steps in this article after you have changed the Apple ID -
Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID - Apple Support
You may be worried about the security of your Apple ID. If so you may want to use two-step verification to increase security -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

If you have a rescue email address set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address set up then go to Express Lane and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Questions' or 'iTunes Store account security' (it appears to vary by country) and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
You should get an email reply within about 24 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox)

Can I purchase apple care for time capsule that is less than 90 days old?

can I purchase apple care for time capsule that is less than 90 days old?

Sure enough...
The 90 day period basically applies for telephone support if you don't have Apple Care (a three year apple hardware/apple software coverage that would be similar to an extended warranty for your TV) with the outstanding feature that you have unlimited telephone support for the entire 3 year period beginning when your Mac was first purchased.
Your situation is similar to mine: I bought my MBP this august and just (literally) bought the 2TB TC. So the three year period began when the Mac was purchased and will run out when the MBP reaches it's exact 3 year anniversary. I went 4 or 5 levels above the sales staff and reached an individual at Apple whose exact title is: Sales & Service Management Representive. The first question I asked was is my TC covered under Apple Care and for how long, etc.: as the TC (as well as the MBP) have only a limited1 year warranty without Apple Care.
If you've been following the posts on this exact site and several others, you'll see many upon many TC's experience a premature death around 18-24 months. So IMHO I think Apple Care is a good deal: coverage for your Mac as well as the TC (double coverage).
On a lighter note something like double your pleasure double your fun: Xerox your paycheck!
cheers...
