SQL Developer Not Connecting After Mac Snow Leopard 10.6.3 Update

I installed Oracle 10g on a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard 10.6.2 as described in here . All worked fine until after updating Snow Leopard last night with to 10.6.3. First I started getting an Insecure Startup Item Disabled message which I solved with the reply to my message at the Apple forums here . That took care of the first issue but now when attempting to connect with SQL Developer, I receive several errors messages in the log most of which point to the source o.jdevimpl.db.adapter.DefaultContextWrapper with a message starting with "Failed to create naming Context for db connections at url: file:/Users... I assume this is some sort of Jave error perhaps related to the Snow Leopard upgrade. However, I have absolutely no clue how to deal with it. I'm a student taking my first database class so the install of Oracle pushed me to my system knowledge limits.
Any help would be appreciated!!

After some poking around on a several forums, I found a suggestion to reapply the OS X update by using the combo install package. That seemed to do the trick. I can now see and connect to my DB.

  • Font not working after loading snow leopard.

    My font named Smash is not working after loading snow leopard.  Is there any way to fix this?

    I suspect you're talking about a free font called Smash. Read Kurt Lang's paper on font management
    <http://www.jklstudios.com/misc/osxfonts.html>
    and especially his strictures on free Windows fonts. The free Smash is a good example of what his talking about. It's a bad, poorly made font. Trash it ASAP.
    If you want to check it with Font Book, use  File > Validate File…, then locate smash.ttf and proceed. You cannot use File > Valide Font, because that command works only with installed, 'working' fonts.
    For the real font, go to

    The SMC reset often fixes your problem.
    Be sure you follow the instructions for your particular Mac model.
    If your problem continues, restart Mac.  Then download and install OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update (Combo).
    If that does not correct the problem, reinstall Mac OS X.

  • SQL Developer not Connecting to Oracle after Updating java

    Hi,
    I am using Oracle 11gR1. Windows XPsp2 OS. Earlier Sql Developer was connecting successfully to Oracle , but when i updated my java Runtime to 'Update 17' (Of version 6), I am getting problem...Something like vendor problem error(tried to connect many times, also restarted system...but same problem persisted).
    BUT, at this time when i am writing this problem, I though to check again that problem and get that actual error message....but surprisingly now that error is resolved automatically as if something magic has happened...
    I am continuously connected to internet for last 5 hours.
    SO, WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM , AND HOW IT IS RESOLVED AUTOMATICALLY?

    Hi ,
    once again the same problem. Again i am not able to connect to Sql Developer environment. My JRE is updated to update 18, since then again i am facing the same problem.what could be the possible solution?
    The exact error message is "An error was encountered performing the request operation:Io exception:The network Adapter could not establish the connection vendor code 17002"
    Thanks

  • Time Machine Not Recognized After Clean Snow Leopard Install

    I've searched for this particular question.
    I was unhappy with Snow Leopard dragging. I wanted a clean install. I did not have the original snow leopard installation for my computer, so I got a different snow leopard DVD. This has apparently caused problems with time machine.
    The clean install in complete. I am now ready to migrate my Time Machine backup onto my iMac24". However, Time Machine is not recognized--at least not in the way I want.
    When I plug my time machine HD into the USB, snow leopard asks if I want to use this for future back-ups. I decline, because I specifically want to restore what has already been backed up. The HD is visible as an external device--and I can in fact see the raw data of my time machine backup stored in folders.
    However, when I enter migration assistant, time machine is invisible. On the page where I am expecting to select time machine, I instead get a perpetually spinning circle icon.
    I suspect time machine is "linked" to the prior snow leopard operating system, rather than to the computer ID. Obviously, this is a bit of a mistake on my part. However, I'm already into the breech and I've got no choice but to go forward.
    Please advise how to redirect my time machine to its new master (same computer, different snow leopard registration)?
    Thanks so very much.

    Retail disk? Yes, it was the snow leopard CD.
    I used a single license snow snow leopard CD install the first time around, when snow leopard was first released. At at that time I "upgraded" my system from leopard.
    This time, I used a different physical disk with snow leopard with a family license. This time I did a "clean" install in which I first erased my hard drive using disk utilities.
    There were no problems with the installation.
    As I say, my time machine hard drive is "recognized" by the computer as an external drive. It just is not recognized when I utilize the migration assistant. It is also "recognized" as a time machine, but only as a potential time machine for prospective use to update going forward, whereas I want it to open up as a time machine for my iMac that I just wiped clean yesterday.
    Thanks for your assistance.

  • Entourage crashed after loading Snow Leopard 10.6.7 update

    I installed the Snow Leopard 10.6.7 update yesterday and immediately Entourage would no longer function properly.  None of the folders (inbox, sent, drafts, etc) are visible and the options at the top of the screen do not work.  Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

    I had a similar problem and solved it.
    Mac book (2010) 10.6.8, Printer: Xerox Phaser 8560.
    It started when I did a printer driver update.
    I'd print and then it would take 1-2 minutes just to get a print dialog box. -Frustrating.
    My console had some strange msgs about printer not authenticating and job not responding.
    So I deleted the printer, created it again using bonjour to find it, and changed the driver from the auto-selected driver(my printer model) to Generic PostScript.
    Now speed is back to immediate and it is printing fine.
    I suspect the manufacturer's driver is engaing something that is not compatible with the system.

  • Lost wireless connection after installing Snow Leopard combo update.

    Hi everybody. I installed Snow Leopard on my father-in-law's Mac Mini (one year old) over Christmas, as a gift. The upgrade went fine. Everything worked until I performed a SW update. It downloaded a mammoth 500+ MB combo update (wirelessly), installed it, and boom. No wireless.
    His network has no security; it is open. The Mac could see/find the network, but timed-out when connecting. Connection Doctor and Network Diagnostics; all red lights. His Dell and my iPod Touch had no problem connecting. I tried switching user accounts, turning Airport ON/OFF, trashing Locations and using Automatic, inactivating interfaces, disabling firewall, restarting, PRAM reset, and probably some other things I can't recall.
    I couldn't leave him without any Internet, and I didn't have a patch cable to try, so I restored him to 10.5 using Time Machine. His wireless went back to normal and is working fine. So he has my Christmas gift, but he can't use it.
    I have seen some related experiences in this forum, but not quite the same. Anything I try will now need to be done remotely over iChat Screen Sharing, as he is 190 miles away. Thank you for any assistance.

    Problem Solved..sort of. I was able to restore full connectivity by disabling the WEP encryption of the WIFI. This is very strange to me, prior to getting the ATV, WIFI was only rurned on for brief periods to allow my laptop to connect or when using a Sondigo wireless music bridge (great product BTW.) After enabling WEP I had no problems in connecting either the ATV or the Sondigo unit to the WIFI, there was however a problem with my laptop in that it showed a very solid connect to the WEP enabled network but I could not browse the internet. FWIW my router is a Linksys WRT54GX. Hopes this helps someone else

  • Iphoto not working after installing snow leopard

    My hardrive crashed while I was living in South America so I got the authorized mac dealership to put in a new one. Once I got back I was able to get all my photos and files from an external hardrive but I realized that my computer software was still 10.5.8. So I put in the Snow Leopard disk that I had bought because I realized that when they put in a new hardrive they didn't install Snow Leopard. After I installed Snow Leopard my iphoto now says "Caution The iPhoto Library folder is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it." How do I fix this? I called Mac and because I bought the computer in 2007 I do not have any applecare so that will cost me $60 and the mac authorized dealership told me to call them or buy the new iLife in hopes that the problem will be fixed.

    See if one of the fixes in this topic helps: iPhoto becomes locked volume: Apple Support Communities

  • Sql Developer not connecting to the DB

    Hi
    I have latest Oracle Sql Developer 3.2.1 installed, and I cannot connect to database Oracle 11g Enterprise Edition.. I typed correct SID, port number, user and password and it won't connect saying: "The Network Adapter could not establish the connection. Vendor code: 17002"
    Strangely I am able to ping and telnet to the Database machine with the DB port
    ping <hostname> got reply
    telnet <hostname> <port> got connected.
    The TNS Listener of the Database is up as I am able to connect to the DB from another computer.
    Do we need to setup anything extra to connect to a DB?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Item 4 in the following relies on my Windows 7 environment variables. Did you also try...
    1. lsnrctl status
    2. lsnrctl services
    3. tnsping <tnsalias>
    4. sqlplus sys/<pswd>@//%COMPUTERNAME%:<port>/<sid>.%USERDNSDOMAIN% as sysdba
    The syntax in (4) requires specification of the SERVICE_NAME rather than the SID.
    My fully qualified SERVICE_NAME happens to be <sid>.%USERDNSDOMAIN%
    My fully qualified hostname is %COMPUTERNAME%.%USERDNSDOMAIN%, but %COMPUTERNAME% also works for me.
    See if using the literal values of these variables in the SQL Developer connection definition helps.
    Regards,
    Gary

  • C4380 Scanner is not detected on Mac Snow Leopard (10.6.8), by USB or wifi

    Hello,
    Working with a MAC with Snow Leopard (10.6).
    Suddenly longer able to access the printer via WIFI. Reinstall the software and configure the network went back to the printer.
    Now the printer is working correctly by USB and WIFI, but the scanner is not detected.
    Can you help, please?
    Thank you very much.

    When you re-downloaded the drivers and software, did you get the FULL FEATURE drivers?
    Did you download this from the website or from the CD?
    You can run the print and scan doctor, and check the results.

  • Many things not working after installing Snow Leopard!

    Just installed Snow Leopard (10.6.3) on my 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac and now I've got problems. All the dates I've added to iCal are gone. Almost all my address book contacts are gone. I can't access my Airport Express network. And my Epson Workforce 40 printer won't print. Hopefully that's all.
    If anyone has any ideas on how to fix any of these problems I would very much appreciate your help.
    Thanks,
    wendy

    Thanks for responding.
    I didn't have time machine before I upgraded so I don't have a TM backup. I think I have a bootable backup, but I'm not sure how to use it. Also, I realize I should be able to retrieve my address book and iCal, but how will this help with my printing problems and airport connectivity? Sorry to be so green, but I've never had a problem like this with an upgrade before.

    btw, this is how i got to know about the "resetting printer queue" - OFFICIAL EPSON ANSWER:
    (sorry for German speaking users only ...)
    Bitte gehen Sie in diesem Fall wie folgt vor.
    1. Löschen Sie alle Epson Drucker aus der Druckerliste.
    2. Deinstallieren Sie den Treiber über die Installationsroutine. Besteht diese Möglichkeit nicht gehen Sie bitte direkt zu Punkt 3.
    3. Löschen Sie den Inhalt des Ordners "Epson" unter HDD -> Library -> Printers.
    4. Suchen Sie im Finder nach Druckermodell und löschen gefundene Einträge.
    5. Starten Sie Ihren Mac neu.
    6. Laden Sie den aktuellen Treiber von unserer Website und installieren Sie diesen. http://esupport.epson-europe.com/de-DE
    7. Schließen Sie den Drucker direkt am Mac an, Kabellänge <= 2m. Sollte der Drucker im folgenden nicht gefunden werden schließen Sie ihn bitte per USB und nicht per FireWire oder Netzwerkkabel an. Verwenden Sie keinen USB-Hub und nicht den USB-Port an der Tastatur.
    8. Drucker hinzufügen:
    8.1 Power PC 10.x.x
    Gehen Sie ins Druckerdienstprogramm wählen Sie hinzufügen (unter Tiger 10.4.x dann weitere Drucker) und wählen die korrespondierende EPSON-Schnittstelle (Epson-USB, Epson Firewire, Epson Appletalk, Epson TCP/IP) im Dialog aus. Der Drucker wird in der Auswahlliste angezeigt. Markieren Sie ihn und wählen Sie wenn möglich Papierformat "ALLE". Schließen Sie den Vorgang mit hinzufügen.
    8.2 Mac-Intel 10.4.x
    Gehen Sie ins Druckerdienstprogramm wählen Sie hinzufügen und wählen die korrespondierende EPSON-Schnittstelle (USB, Epson Firewire, Epson Appletalk, Epson TCP/IP) im Dialog aus. Der Drucker wird in der Auswahlliste angezeigt. Markieren Sie ihn und wählen Sie wenn möglich Papierformat "ALLE". Schließen Sie den Vorgang mit hinzufügen.
    8.3 Leopard 10.5.x
    Gehen Sie in Drucker & Faxe, wählen Sie hinzufügen, wählen Sie den Drucker aus der Liste (USB/Bonjour) und prüfen Sie, daß im Feld "Drucken mit/Druckermodell" EPSON und das Kürzel für Ihren Drucker steht. z.B.: "SPRO3800". Um den Drucker per EPSON Appletalk hinzuzufügen, wählen Sie oben rechts das Symbol "andere". Wählen Sie hinzufügen um die Installation abzuschließen.
    8.4 Snow Leopard 10.6.x
    Gehen Sie in Drucker & Faxe, wählen Sie das "+" Zeichen, wählen Sie den Drucker aus der Liste (USB/Bonjour) und prüfen Sie, daß im Feld "Drucken mit/Druckermodell" EPSON und das Kürzel für Ihren Drucker steht. z.B.: "SPRO3800". Um den Drucker per EPSON Appletalk oder per Epson Firewire hinzuzufügen, wählen Sie oben rechts das Symbol "andere". Wählen Sie hinzufügen um die Installation abzuschließen.
    Beim Update von 10.4 oder 10.5 auf 10.6 empfehlen wir das Drucksystem zurückzusetzen und dann die Treiber neu zu installieren. Dieses Verfahren kann auch beim bei Punkt 1 benutzt werden. Allerdings sind dann alle Drucker gelöscht!
    Falls Sie noch weitere Fragen, Wünsche oder Äußerungen haben, stehen wir Ihnen gerne zur Verfügung.
    Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
    EPSON Deutschland
