RMAN issue - any feedback would be appreciated

Guys,
Sorry, i shouldn't have posted it here..
We currently use the following script to take backup of our database on production. But this morning i've noticed that the RETENTION POLICY was set to redundancy 1 and it was deleting all backup prior to a day old, although the image copy script says, retain a recovery window of up to 3 days..
run {
allocate channel daily_backup device type disk;
recover copy of database with tag 'DAILY_BKP' until time 'SYSDATE - 3';
backup incremental level 1 cumulative copies=1 for recover of copy with tag 'DAILY_BKP' database;
}So, i set the RENTENTION POLICY to 3 days and deleted all old backup pieces and started a fresh one.. But i am gobsmacked to see that the output below still shows it as incrmental level 1,( it should have been level 0) and the size of 890M for a database of size 50+ Gb.
What's going wrong ? Is RMAN doing something wrong ?
here is the output after the backup..
RMAN> list backup;
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog

'RE1000' range extender - duplicate SSID behavior? Any feedback would be appreciated!

I am using a Cisco 802.11n wireless E4200 router (almost exclusively on 2.4 GHz).
I just bought a Cisco 802.11n (supports only 2.4 GHz) RE1000 wireless range extender last night (so the below is based on limited testing and usage so far).
1. The good news is that the signal strength on the other side of the house same floor and on the other side of the house one floor down, when using the RE1000 range extender, are now great (4 - 5 bars of signal strength in the Windows 7 wireless network GUI) throughout the house even wit the router in one corner room.
(Quite frankly given my house size and smallnetbuilder's test results I am surprised the signal strength was not higher to begin with since I am using a Rosewill RNX-N2X wireless USB adapter with two external antennae that outperforms all my other USB wireless N adapters by a long shot).
2. The bad news (aside from needing to try several times initially just to get Cisco Connect * to find the extender,
is that I now see TWO (duplicate in terms of name only) SSID's in my Rosewill wireless utility (that I was only using temporarily to check signal strength in dbM). Windows only shows one available network entry with that specific SSID!
Luckily I had the Rosewill utility running, since the SSID (let's refer to it as 'HomeSSID1') was showing a weak signal under the instance of it that I was connected to. If I had not seen the duplicate instance which was pointing to the extender instance of my wireless network (also listed as HomeSSID1 with the same password) which had a MUCH higher signal strength in a remote room, I would have returned it.
Now here is why this may be 'bad', at least until I get some answers on the following:
3. For devices (e.g... Blu-Ray players with built-in Wifi (802.11n) adapters where I don't have the luxury of running the Rosewill client utility (which allows me to switch to the stronger of the two 'duplicate' SSID's), I may only see ONE instance of the SSID (like ion Windows) to connect to.
This may therefore not allow me to switch to the higher signal version / instance of the SSID (depending on which one it picks, which leads me to my 2nd question below).
4. For various wifi-equipped various devices (Blu-Ray players and laptops) in my house, which version of the SSID will they connect to (if they see only one)??? Will they be 'smart' enough to select the instance of my SSID with the higher signal strength.
If some of these devices do see both instances of my SSID (the router one and the extender one), and I select the higher signal strength one, which one will it pick next time I turn that device back on and it reconnects to one of my two matching (dupe name) wireless network SSID's upon startup...
5. The other strange thing is that I get prompted for the WPA2 AES passphrase in Windows EACH time when I reconnect after having switched between the two duplicate-but-separately listed SSID's (with differing signal strengths), even though I have it configured that way.
While windows does not show both SSID's in the list of 'available network' when clicking on the taskbar icon, it does appear to have both in control panel under wireless network connections (although one of those could be an old entry or even an old 5 GHz entry before I renamed my 5 GHz SSID differently to avoid confusion).
* (Cisco Connect software is the only way to configure the RE1000 initially at least - i.e.. until you find the assigned IP address for the extender, after which you will be able to use the web browser interface for configuration).
Any answers and insights would be appreciated!
PS: I placed the extender not too far the center of the second floor, as opposed to placing it on the opposite side of the house from the router. This was to ensure the signal being repeated had a strong enough source to begin with and also to spread the coverage nicely to the rooms where it was weak when I only had the E4200 broadcasting.

I can only remove them in Windows. That won't help though since my Blu-Ray player is seeing two directly from the router (since Windows has no bearing on what the Blu-Ray player can see). I checked windows wireless networks that I have configured (i.e. not the 'available networks' screen but, under 'amanage wireless network' in the network and sharng center, which shows the networks actually configured on my laptop) and I only see two in all (one is the 2.4 GHz one and one the old 5 Ghz one before I renamed it). I will definitely update this once I play around with things a bit. - need to hook up b2 other blu-ray players (same model but not unpacked yet) in two remote spots where I know the RE1000 hazs the better signal) and see what happens. I hope I can either1) (since the Blu-Ray players don't move) get the players configured to ONLY (always) connect to either the router or the extender depending on their location (ad never switch between the two).or2) IF, by (wifi standards) design, the Blu-Ray players will automatically connect to a given version of the SSID and not the one I selected when I first selected a network on the player's list: Then I hope it will be based on the strongest signal and hopefully not random or tbe first instance of the duplicate SSID that it "sees") so that at least they automatically connect to whichever has the best signal strength and not switch back and forth between the router and extender versions of the SSID. For the laptop, I will just switch between the extedner SSID and the router SSID depending where I am (and hope that it stays connected to that same one the whole time until I manually disconnect and connect to the other version of the SSID). I would think someone knows how this is supposed to work.Given that the player only asks for the SSID (and not the MAC address) when the user is prompted to set up the wifi connection, there are three possible ways this works:1) it always connects to the same instance I first defined (this would imply the player somehow uses the MAC address or other identifying feature that allows it to distinguish between the 'duplicate'; SSID's). 2) it connects to the stronger of the tow signals each time it starts up 3) it connects to the first of thw tow SSID instances that it "sees".Does anyone know if it is 1,2 or 3 (or does it depend on the wireless client, meaning a Blu-Ray player may use one option (of the above 3) and a Windows PC uses a different method to select to which instance of the SSID it will connect at any given time.I would love to hear what other extender users have experienced in regard to the above (in bold).

'RMAN' seems to be a good work and is doing an incremental backup after the first full backup (this is the correct way).If you look to the files size you'll see that incremental backup is taking only 15.48M.It's normal a backup (or incremental backup) take more few space than a "conventional backup" because RMAN compress data.

Thanks for the suggestion, Chris. I actually did not resolve the issue which is why i did not post an answer.
it turns out that my iphone seems to default to an incorrect User ID (it defaults to an @me account, which is not something that i have ever used).
even when i change the User ID in my settings for the iTunes store, it still appears when i attempt to get updates for my existing apps. however, it does seem to use the correct ID when i attempt to purchase new apps.
If someone actually had an answer to correct this, i would love to update my existing apps.
Thank you.

Hey there Frank0619,
If you have not been able to install iTunes because the Windows Installer service is not available, I would recommend the troubleshooting in the following troubleshooting to help.
Issues installing iTunes for Windows
These in particular:
Make sure you have an administrator account.
To install iTunes, you'll need to log in to your computer with an administrator password. If you're not sure if you have an administrator account, read Windows 7: How do I log on as an administrator? You could also refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
Install the latest Microsoft Windows updates.
To download the latest updates, visit the Microsoft Windows Update website. iTunes for Windows requires Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 with the latest Service Pack installed. If you can’t install the updates, refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
Download the latest version of iTunes.
The latest version of iTunes can be downloaded at http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.
Disable conflicting software.
Some Windows background processes can cause issues for other programs and processes. These conflicts can prevent applications, such as iTunes, from installing. Disable conflicting processes by starting your computer using MSConfig:
Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows XP
Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8
Some security software made by other companies can't be disabled using MSConfig. If you've installed security software and you're having issues installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows, you might need to disable or uninstall security software to resolve installation issues.
Restart your computer.
Install iTunes.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

I recently downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader and when I try to open a new pdf I get the Adobe logo and text in Japanese and the pdf doesn't open. Any help would be appreciated.

I recently downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader for my MacBook Air and now when I try to open a new pdf I get the Adobe logo and text in Japanese and nothing else. The pdf doesn't open. Any suggestions? I never had this problem until my cache was cleared and I had to re-install Adobe Reader. Any help would be appreciated.

Just to say I am having exactly the same issue on my MacBook Air. I can't remember what I did but after this happened a few times, and once I had clicked on the Japanese pop up, I managed to do something that now means I get the pop up in English, saying 'Adobe Reader blocked for this website'. When I click on it it asks me to trust the content and then I get a bar with the text in Japanese. Eventually the pdf does open. However it's very irritating that I have to trust every pdf individually which I never had to do before the latest upgrade, and I don't understand why I get messages in Japanese. I will be interested to see whatever answers other more technical people may provide!

Hi, first of all Thank you for your instant response.
Yes, I have updated to version 33, Now the problem is not as random as it was before. I found that I have absolutely no issues when I use FF for the first time after starting my computer. At this point there is no issue at all I can watch videos when both logged-in/logged-out and also they work perectly if I switch between flash and HTML5.
But as soon as I restart Firefox I cannot watch the videos at all. No matter if I am logged in/logged out, I did try HTML5 but still it didn't work. The error message was same in all the cases "An error occurred, please try again later".
We are secured by "Cyberoam" so I don't have access to proxy sites.
By the way these observations are for Windows 7.

I, on the other hand, had no brightness issues on the 4S after upgrading to iOS 6, and no change in (good) battery life. If could be something else, an app or background process that is less efficient with iOS 6? Could be anything.

Try using this article to help with your iPad not showing up in iTunes---
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 -This deals with the device not being recognized in iTunes for Windows
The following steps work well with iPod but i would try them for help with your iPad issue:
Try connecting your iPad to another USB port directly on the computer. Verify that you're connecting it to a high-powered USB 2.0 port on your computer to be sure iPad is getting power. If you're connecting to a Windows laptop computer through USB, connect the laptop to a power outlet before connecting your iPad. Also, see iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB to be sure that your USB ports are supplying enough power.
Avoid connecting to an external USB hub. If a hub must be used, make sure the hub is USB 2.0, and that it has its own power supply. Also, make sure the hub is connected to a high-power USB 2.0 port on your computer.
If the issue persists, try disconnecting other USB devices from the computer such as printers, cameras, scanners, external hard drives, and USB hubs to determine if there is a conflict in the USB chain.

Was advised to delete system configuration file from hard drive and now computer will not start - any help would be appreciated.

Downloaded Yosemite and since then cannot connect to internet or bluetooth mouse - was advised to delete system configuration file from the hard drive and since then cannot start up computer. Any help would be appreciated - cheers.

Boot the MBP with the OPTION+COMMAND+R keys down. The result should be a display showing a revolving globe. By following the instructions, you will be able to reinstall the original OSX. Then you may reinstall Yosemite.
A solid Internet connection will be required.
Ciao.
