Still need help with changing hostname on Solaris 10

Hello.
I have some difficulties with changing host name of my computer.
It is DHCP Client.
AS I understand there are the following steps that I have to do:
1. Edit the /etc/default/dhcpagent file and change the line that reads the following:
#REQUEST_HOSTNAME=no
to
REQUEST_HOSTNAME=no
2. There are two empty /etc/hostname files: hostname and hostname6.
Do I have just to put there hostname?
3. /etc/hosts has what I need to change.
4. I was unable to find /etc/nodename. Do I have to create it? What properties should contain this file?
5. hostname <new hostname>
In previous time when I tried to change host name with Management Console my system crashed, I changed: /etc/hosts, but it didn't work.
Thank you.

Hello.
Using DHCP you may really have problems changing the hostname.
The fact is: The DNS server may assign your machine a host name which has nothing to do with the host name you sent to the DHCP server. Depending on the server (typically DHCP and DNS server are the same machine) nothing will really work. (This is the case with my configuration where the servers are located on a DSL router.)
I solved the problem the following way:
* I created two host names (MyMachine and MyMachineNet) in the /etc/hosts file (Solaris 10 and newer: /etc/inet/ipnodes must be changed, too.)
* "MyMachine" is 127.0.0.1 (localhost):
127.0.0.1 localhost MyMachine
192.168.178.100 MyMachineNet* I assigned the name "MyMachineNet" to the network interface in /etc/hostname.networkcard.
* I use DHCP
The computer name (in /etc/nodename) is "MyMachine". Some programs (e.g. Gnome !) establish a TCP/IP connection to "MyMachine" instead of "localhost" (I do not understand why). These programs are now satisfied because the host name "MyMachine" represents 127.0.0.1 (localhost).
I know that there is a switch that tells Solaris to take the machine name from DHCP/DNS instead of /etc/nodename. Unfortunately I forgot where it is.

Still need help with case sensitive strings

Hello guy! Sorry to trouble you with the same problem again,
but i still need help!
"I am trying to create a scrypt that will compare a String
with an editable text that the user should type to match that
String. I was able to do that, but the problem is that is not case
sensitive, even with the adobe help telling me that strings are
case sensitive. Do you guys know how to make that comparison match
only if all the field has the right upper and lower case letters?
on exitframe
if field "t:texto1" = "Residencial Serra Verde"then
go to next
end if
end
|----> thats the one Im using!"
There were 2 replys but both of them didnt work, and the
second one even made the director crash, corrupting even previously
files that had nothing to do with the initial problem..
first solution given --
If you put each item that you are comparing into a list, it
magically
makes it case sensitive. Just put list brackets around each
item.
on exitframe
if [field "t:texto1"] = ["Residencial Serra Verde"] then
go to next
end if
end
Second solution given--
The = operator is not case-sensitive when used on strings,
but the < and > operators are case-sensitive.
So another way to do this is to check if the string is
neither greater than nor less than the target string:
vExpected = "Residencial Serra Verde"
vInput = field "t:texto 1"
if vExpected < vInput then
-- ignore
else if vExpected > vInput then
-- ignore
else
-- vExpected is a case-sensitive match for vInput
go next
end if
So any new solutions??
Thanks in advance!!
joao rsm

The first solution does in fact work and is probably the most
efficient way
of doing it. You can verify that it works by starting with a
new director
movie and adding a field named "t:texto1" into the cast with
the text
"Residencial Serra Verde" in the field. Next type the
following command in
the message window and press Enter
put [field "t:texto1"] = ["Residencial Serra Verde"]
You will see it return 1 which means True. Next, make the R
in the field
lower case and execute the command in the message window, it
will return 0
(true).
Now that you know this works, you need to dig deeper in your
code to find
what the problem is. Any more info you can supply?

please help
ashley

What are you trying to use as your payment method ? If it's a debit card then I don't think that they are still accepted as a valid payment method in all countries - from this page :
You may be able to use other payment types in your country, like debit and Maestro cards.
which implies that they are not accepted in all countries, and there have been a number of posts about them being declined.
If it's a credit card then is it registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes support and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management

Still need help with iChat

Hello
I have tried everything sugested in these posts to get iChat to work through my wireless router Dlink DI-524. I have even contacted apple care (waste of time as far as I am concerned)
I have filled out the folowing and pasted it here with as much info as I could answer.
Please take a look at the following and let me know if there is something I am missing to get this D* program working.
There are lots of things you can do to help the regular posters in this Discussion area help you.
First of all the current Discussions were designed on a One Person/Problem to one Thread basis. This was to try and stop several people jumping on what looked like a similar problem and the thread ending up with 5 or more different answer to what in fact were different problems.
Now linked to this is the need to have all the info you have in one go, up front so that we can answer as succinctly and as quickly as we can without repeating questions over and over to get to a start point.
As a Start go here and enter your computer and OS details so they appear on every Post you make.
After that you need to list these things:

Go to System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming tab. In the drop down set the speed to match your download or to a max of 1.5meg
YES
2) Are you running your Mac with the Firewall On ?
NO
If so have you set up ports for iChat ?
3) Did you upgrade from Panther ? NO
Do any of these things effect you ?
If they did and you have done them please state so.
4) How are you connected to the internet ? THROUGH WIRELESS
a) We need to know device make and Model ?
DLINK DI-524 ROUTER
b) We need how you have opened the ports for iChat ?

* Port Triggering BUMP
* DMZ BUMP
c) We need to know if you know if the device is in Bridge Mode ? BUMP
(sends your Public IP through to your computer or router).
d) Do you have a router as well ?
* Is it doing DHCP ? Do you only set this up if using built in Ethernet?
* Is it an Airport device ? YES
* Have you opened the ports there ? BUMP
* By which method ? (see above list) NOT SURE
5) Do you have any iChat Add-Ons ? NO
List them if you have.
Also state if you downloaded them when you were running Panther and if you have updated them.
1. iChatUSBCam
2. iGlasses
3. Showmacster

Hi Kaisoboy,
This page has the instructions on how to access your device and pics to help and
It does not show UPnP in the menu.
It could be that you have newer firmware than the pics.
However it should still help.
DO NOT set the ports shown as they are wrong.
Set the ones I gave you.

Need help with changing the name.

I got my palm pre from an uncle who lives in the states. The problem is I can't call tech support to ask them because I live in belize. The proble I have with my pre is that I have added my email account to the phone, but when I send an email, they receive it in my uncles name, my name is lanny and they receive an email form cesar, I think you can see where the problem lies. Is there anyway I can change it to my name? Please help!

Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
I would create a new Palm Profile. To do this you will need to go to the Device Info app, Reset Options, then select Full Erase. All pictures, videos, and anything else stored in the USB side of the device will be erased. I recommend that if you want to keep any of that to connect your device to a computer then click and drag everything you want to keep off of the device and onto your computer.
After you perform the Full Erase the device is going to reboot. It is going to come up with a screen to sign in to a Palm Profile or Create a New Palm Profile. NOTE*** You will need a data connection to do this. Select Create a New Palm Profile and fill in the blanks. Once you are back into the device you can set up your email accounts again and it should display the name you created the Palm Profile with.
I hope this helps,
-Pat

Half-way there, but still need help with synching individual libraries

Okay, I got my music xferred to new computer, but I'm still having problems synching individual libraries. When I did my daughter's library, I xferred purchased songs, then did the synch, so it wiped everything else out and just left me with the purchased songs (yeah, I know, big duh on my part). That's not such a big deal on her ipod because she only had about 350 songs, so I've replaced the majority of them already. However, my son and I have about 1000 songs each and I don't want to wipe out our libraries.
So, when I plug in my ipod and pull up my library, what do I need to do to keep the songs already on my ipod and synch it?
TIA

Katrina you've been very helpful, I'm just having a hard time explaining myself, I guess.
I now have all of my backed up music on my current computer, so that's all good. And I've set up individual libraries for each of us with ipods. Now I'm trying to figure out how to synch (for instance) my ipod with nearly 1000 songs with my own personal library on itunes (which is currently empty) w/o losing the songs currently on my ipod and having to drag them to my itunes library from scratch. The same applies for my son's ipod and itunes library.
My daughter's ipod only had about 350 songs, which I wound up wiping out, so I had to start from scratch putting songs in her (itunes) library, which I can now synch with her ipod. However, that would be really time consuming to do with mine and my son's ipods, so I'm hoping to figure out a way to get the songs already on our ipods into our individual itunes libraries now.

Need help with changing letter cases : (

Hey everyone, I have an assignment that needs to
1) allow the user to enter a sentence
2) count the number of upper case, lower case, spaces, and other characters in the sentence,
3) convert each first letter of a word into upper case if not already in upper case,
4) convert non first letters to lower case if not already in lower case
So, I have been successfull counting all characters, but I can't seem to find a way to convert the letter cases.
I understand I have to distinguish first letters and non first letters, and I did this by using a boolean.
Also, I tried to use a for loop and convert the letter cases accordingly by += 32 and -= 32.
This is what I have for now :
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class Asg3 {
     public static void main(String [] args)     {
          String sentence = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter a Sentence!");
          int length = sentence.length();
          int counter = 0;
          int uppercase = 0;
          int lowercase = 0;
          int space = 0;
          int other = 0;
          int total = 0;
          boolean firstletter = true;
          char thischarac;
          for (counter = 0; counter < sentence.length(); counter++)
                    thischarac = sentence.charAt(counter);
                    if ( thischarac >= 65 && thischarac <= 90 ) {
                         ++ uppercase;
               else if ( thischarac >= 97 && thischarac <= 122 ) {
                         ++ lowercase;
               else if ( thischarac == 32) {
                         ++ space;
               else {
                         ++ other;
                         ++ total;
          for (counter = 0; counter < sentence.length(); counter++) {
               thischarac = sentence.charAt(counter);
               if (firstletter == true) {
                         if (thischarac >= 97 && thischarac <= 122) {
                              thischarac -= 32;
               else
                    if (firstletter == false)
                         if (thischarac >= 65 && thischarac <= 90) {
                              thischarac += 32;
System.out.println("You have entered: " + sentence);
          System.out.println("Upper case Letters: " + uppercase);
          System.out.println("Lower case Letters: " + lowercase);
          System.out.println("The number of blank spaces: " + space);
          System.out.println("The number of other characters: " + other);
          System.out.println("Grand total: " + total);
          System.exit( 0 );
I am stuck on this for hours now, and all googling, asking friends, going over lectures have failed, and this is my last resort.
I understand it is frustrating when students come here for homework, but I would really appreciate any hints or help.
Thank you!

Oh, sorry I'm new and didn't realize the code button. Anyways, here it is
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class Asg3 {
     public static void main(String [] args)     {
          String sentence = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter a Sentence!");
          int length = sentence.length();
          int counter = 0;
          int uppercase = 0;
          int lowercase = 0;
          int space = 0;
          int other = 0;
          int total = 0;
          boolean firstletter = true;
          char thischarac;
          for (counter = 0; counter < sentence.length(); counter++)
                    thischarac = sentence.charAt(counter);
                    if ( thischarac >= 65 && thischarac <= 90 ) {
                         ++ uppercase;
               else if ( thischarac >= 97 && thischarac <= 122 ) {
                         ++ lowercase;
               else if ( thischarac == 32) {
                         ++ space;
               else {
                         ++ other;
                         ++ total;
          for (counter = 0; counter < sentence.length(); counter++) {
               thischarac = sentence.charAt(counter);
               if (firstletter == true) {
                         if (thischarac >= 97 && thischarac <= 122) {
                              thischarac -= 32;
               else
                    if (firstletter == false)
                         if (thischarac >= 65 && thischarac <= 90) {
                              thischarac += 32;
                                System.out.println("You have entered: " + sentence);
          System.out.println("Upper case Letters: " + uppercase);
          System.out.println("Lower case Letters: " + lowercase);
          System.out.println("The number of blank spaces: " + space);
          System.out.println("The number of other characters: " + other);
          System.out.println("Grand total: " + total);
          System.exit( 0 );
}The problem I'm having is converting letters to their right cases. I need to change the first letters of a word to upper cases, and non first letters to lower cases. For example, if the sentence the user entered is
"tHIS AssigNMent IS harD!" , I would have to convert it to : "This Assignment Is Hard!"
What I tried to do is use a for loop and a boolean.
If firstletter == true, and if the character was lower case, I would subtract 32 from that character.
If firstletter == false, and if the character was upper case, I would add 32.
The problem here is that, what do I have to do to make it print the converted sentence? I have tried System.out.println( "The new sentence is :" + sentence); which gives me only the original sentence,
and System.out.println("The new sentence is :" + thiscarac); which gives me all capital letters.
So there are two main problems:
1) Is my forloop and boolean correct in converting the cases? Am I using the right method?
2) If so, how do I get the system to printout the new converted sentence?

Need help with changing my region to accept EU ink cartridges on Photostat 2610

I have permanently moved to Poland (Europe)from Canada. I have brought with me HP printer Photo-smart 2610 All in one Ink cartridges do not work . I found out ,that I have to change a region for my printer to accept different inks. In Canada I was using nr 94 and 97 inks In Poland they offered me 339 and 344 (xl version) HP original. I have found out ,that it is possible to change those settings contacting HP technical support. I am available under my E-mail {Personal Information Removed}. If it is necessary session could be arrange.
Thank You and Best Regards,

Hello Kasperraf,
That is very strange. When you contacted the support in Poland, was it on this number: (22) 583 43 73? They have all the tools necessary to change the region of your printer.
The printer you have is almost certainly out of warranty but that should not matter for when you need to change the region of your printer. You should refer them to this document:
"Finding and Installing Cartridges after Moving to Another Country"
