Strange case!

Hi,
We have users from the inside network, part of the users can access a server in the DMZ using Xmanager and some of them can't access this server.
For example:
i have assigned the following IP address 10.10.10.10 to my pc and i can access this server using Xmanager, another IP address is 10.10.10.50 can't access this server (The two IP addresses) are permitted through Cisco PIX firewall 525. i assigned my PC with IP address 10.10.10.50 and it is working normally. I put that PC with the IP 10.10.10.50 at the same subnet where the server exists (DMZ), and the result is OK. I tried to change the network card when this PC in the inside network, but the same result failed.
I put this PC in the ouside network but the same result failed.
I need your help!
Thanks in advance

try putting the ip address 10.10.10.10 in non working pc's , if they are able to access the server probably the cause may be because of incorrect configuration/access list. you have tried to change the network card,from the description you are not able to connect using the same . try with another network card.

Strange case! Report ran report runtime gave different result from reoprt builder

Hi all,
I have a report which was developed with developer/2000 R1.6. I used it for generating monthly report to user for more than a year.
Recently, I converted it to R2.1 and used it. However, strange thing happened, It gave correct result in report builder, but when I generated the rep file, and ran it in runtime, it gave wrong result. The report figures were wrong, and it had more pages than the correct one.
I also converted others reports, but they are ok, only this one that I cannot run it runtime because of this.
I don't think anyone would have experienced the same case before, so I think that I am helpless. I just want to my strange experience to you all.
Vanessa

I suspect you have a stronger path somewhere else to the wrong report. Check your registry and search all your accesible drives for filenames that are called the same name.

The Strange Case of the Empty Folder

For several days, I have been chasing gremlins, some of my own making. But this one is different.
Suddenly, when choosing a filter that requires time to load the thumb preview, I found it very slow, but even more to the point, I lost control of the curser. It became very small, not even an arrow and jumped around the screen, if it moved at all. The preview load was taking forever, so I tried to dump it. No dice. I had to use kill Process, if I could even get there.
So gremlins are now extending to the video card, right? Maybe too much ram to PS. Nope.
Anyway, after a lot of mucking around with this or that, it occurred to me that the Hard Drive light didn't work while all this is going on. Not writing to Scratch? Let's look. Yep, scratch has data. So I opened it and found two files, one the PS file and the other some strange temp file with a long string of numbers. Properties said -0- data.
After some deliberation, I decided to exit PS and delete the strange file. I reopened PS and voila! All is well! Smooth fast preview thumbs, cursor runs, I could exit the filter no problems.
So, I guess the moral here is if strange things are happening, check scratch! Even an empty one seems anathema to PS.
Hmmm, maybe it was of my own making. Who or what put it there?
Curious people want to know.

Thank you for the detailed "how to". Much appreciated!

Generate a shortcut using Ctrl-Alt-Shift+B
Note: Doing so produced the message "Alt+Shift+Ctrl+B is already in use and will be removed from Image > Adjustments > Black & White if accepted." I chose [Accept and Go To Conflict], and left the Black & White feature with no shortcut.
I initially generated a 16000 x 11000 pixel file, RGB Color, 8 bit, containing White.
Running the filter via the 4 key shortcut popped up a Progress dialog that ran for a minute or so. All the while cursor motion was completely smooth. Task Manager showed about 70% processor utilization across the 8 cores.
The cursor would change to an arrow while over the dialog, then to the spinning wheel when off it.
Once the operation completed, the dialog disappeared and the cursor returned to whatever tool I had selected (zoom, move, etc.) and was smooth and normal.
I tried it several times, with 8 bits/channel and 16 bis/channel images, even with images much larger than 500 MB. With larger images in 16 bits/channel mode I did see some slight jumpiness in the cursor motion while the Progress bar was up, but only very slight.
It appears that the thread in Photoshop that reloads the cursor is a bit delayed in running by the app being busy processing the long operation on the large image. Cursor motion was normal and smooth in all other apps and music I was playing through Media Player was not interrupted. Task Manager again showed about 70% processor utilization across the 8 cores.
And there were no problems whatsoever after the operation had completed.
I'm thinking you may have a glitch in your nVidia display driver having something to do with reloading cursors from within your app.
Regarding the button changing captions from Cancel to Reset, I did not ever see that in the testing above... However, it's a known feature that many Photoshop dialogs with a [Cancel] button will change it to [Reset] instead if the Alt key is held down. If Photoshop is switched away from via the Alt-Tab key combination, then it will stick that way until Photoshop is again made active. An easy way to demonstrate this is to go into Edit - Preferences - any subcategory, then press Alt. Activate another running application via Alt-Tab and move it out of the way (so you can still see the Photoshop dialog) and you'll see it stay that way until you re-activate Photoshop.
I'm not sure in what way this is related to the glitch you're seeing, if at all, but it does represent another case where I see [Cancel] change to [Reset].

P.S., It occurs to me to ask: Have you changed your Cache Tile Size in Edit - Preferences - Performance?

Strange case: trackpad working intermittently - with solution.

Hello Everyone,
I am posting this one in case someone runs into this weird problem.
Recently, I started experiencing problems with my trackpad (MacBook Air - mid2013). The symptoms are as follows:
- Left click stops working. Althoug right click is workine fine. Left click would start working again once in a while.
- Mouse pointer correctly follows trackpad.
- All other trackpad gestures working fine
- Going over the dock doesn't produce the "lense" animation ( ! ).
- Sometimes, a re-boot would fix the problem but usually not.
- The mouse works perfectly fine in the "user selection" screen after the re-boot (left-click works).
I read many threads on the forums here but nothing solved the issue. Because the problem was:
- I had a USB mouse (Magic Mouse), that was ON, under a cushion about 3 meters from the laptop. And somehow it was interfering with the proper functioning of the trackpad.
- Getting the mouse from under the cushion and close to the laptop solved the problem.
This case was so strange that I felt I should write something about it.
Aghiles

I found a solution via users comments on another website: For keyboard problems you have to zap the PRAM; for trackpad problems (including trackpad button) you need to re-set the Power Management Unit. Details at: http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n14449
This seems to have solved my problem completely. For added trackpad functionality though I have also added SIDETRACK - which provides scrolling functions and the ability to tap in just one corner of the trackpad in order to left-click, or right-click. There will be less button pushing in general therefore from me in future!

Strange Case on Security Rights and Dynamic SQL (Execute Immediate)

Hi friends, (forgive me if I write with wrong grammar and sentence, I not used English for daily)
I got a weird trouble yesterday.
I created a package (we can called it X, OK!?) which containing Execute Immediate Statement, that function to delete a table (we can called it Y).
Several days ago, it's worked, but yesterday it wasn't. Last things happened before was recreate those table, and regrant to a role which including user account that execute package X.
Error Msg shown is ORA-00942 : Table or view does not exist. After rechecked and rechecked, I found nothing that could trigger that error, I used DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE to debug and show what statement resulted and executed, I cut and paste, and it's worked. I created anonymous PL/SQL Block, and wrote it and executed it, and worked.
Finally, today, We Grant explicitly those table to user account Y, not via Role, ... and it's work. Interesting thing I think :P
And, I revoke, execute package and run. I think, there's something about Oracle he..he.. :D .
Can somebody help me and explain me the reason of that strange symptomp? and right solution? I must know it, because several days again, it's launched / install.

I Need a PC Detective for..The Strange Case Of My Malfunctioning DVD RW Drive: IT WILL NOT EJECT!

I can't get this drive to spit out my disc and quit saying error code: There are no factual errors.
Here is the play by play summary list regarding my pc's vital stats, events that occurred just Before the problem happened, what happened During the time and right After the strange malfunctioning of my DVD RW Drive.
BEFORE:
My DVD RW disc drive is malfunctioning on my Acer all-in-one desktop running a new install of win 7 ultimate x86.   I was in the middle of labeling a handful of blank title DVD's by looking at the content on them.
I stuck in the first no label CD to jar my memory. When I did realize, I ejected it, wrote on the top, then went to the next DVD and did the same. When I loaded the 3rd DVD in the DVD tray, I wasn't sure what was on it. I saw 3 files labeled photos, templates,
and back up. upon further inspection I realized the content I was looking at was off my off my old palm pilot. I clicked eject. BUT...
DURING:
...at the exact moment I click eject a I got a double bubble notice that tells me Adobe has a important update and Windows has important updates too. OK, so I approve the updates. Adobe was fast... Windows takes awhile and says I can continue doing what I was
doing while the updates occur.
AFTER:
I go back to my DVD Drive project. I figured the timing was bad that's why my disc didn't eject, and so I right click to eject my DVD again. This time the notice says "Please insert disc in the drive". WHAT?? So I start a series of mouse clicks to
reload the contents i just read from the disc of old palm pilot info, and it was still all gone. The drive reads nothing is inserted aka the drive is empty. OK But I still cant eject my disc either. Frustrated by the obvious fixes not working I eventually
do reboot my PC to start fresh, and now I see my palm pilot info displayed on the disc that's in the DVD RW drive: I click on a folder to see the contents just to make sure I can. AND I COULD. Then I try to eject it and the same BS happened again... Error
code: 0x80070057 / Path: unknown / Source: Catalog - OK OK to spite the fact this error code has no indication that it applies to my DVD RW issue so.. whatever, I try to see if my contents still appears, and it does.   I again try to eject
and it pops up error: "again please insert a disc into the drive" so I check again to see my content and again it's also gone.In my Device Manager everything is fine and says working correctly?
LAST: I make my way to the Microsoft Support run the DVD RW "Fix-iT" tool. Before that I ran a internal diagnostic with the tools in my OS.. I read the help section, I did all the obvious things I could think of. I can't afford not to have
my Drive working, I need to install some programs.   PLEASE CAN YOU HELP ME?

Hi,
According to your description, maybe the disc is damaged or the disc is compatible with the drive. Since you cannot eject the drive,
you can update the drive to see if the issue persists. Maybe the issue is due to the hardware of the
Disk Drive, you can contact your computer’s vendor for assistance.
In addition, since it is related to windows 7, maybe you can ask in the Windows 7IT Pro forum below for further assistance.

Strange Case..!! How 2 set an item as a master block to it's db items block

Hello All,
i have a question pls.
================
How 2 set an item as a master block to it's related db items in the same data block; as follows:
============
1-i have to enter the item's value ('LAB_TEMP' ) once then;
2-the other related items in the same data block r changed record each time i navigate to the next record but this item is never changed in this case only if i re-entered another value as (master-detailed rel.). i tried to copy the value of this item to a display item called 'Temp' but it is changing according to the records frequency by default
===========================================================
I tried the following code on when-new-record-instance & on post-changed Triggers as follows:
============================================================
IF :LAB_TEMP IS NOT NULL THEN
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY ('LAB_TEMP',ENABLED,PROPERTY_FALSE);
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY ('LAB_TEMP',NAVIGABLE,PROPERTY_FALSE);
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY ('TEMP',VISIBLE,PROPERTY_TRUE);
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY ('LAB_TEMP',VISIBLE,PROPERTY_FALSE);
:TEMP := :LAB_TEMP;

Abdetu..

Hello everyone,
This issue was solved as:
==================
1-i created a separate db block
2-created a text item called 'TEMP' with db=NO
3-In the db block that i want to deal with it as:Master item to it's other related detailed items to that item which is called 'LAB_TEMP' ;

Thanks always,

The Strange Case OF Disappearing Elements!

For some time I have been using EA to build an entire website using lots of Symbols and animated buttons and also using external js libraries Edge Commons and Edgehero. I have a few elements with links to other external sites that are coded to load in an new Window.
Wierldy, when the links are clicked, the new windows open displaying the correct content but when I return to my window with my site some elements have disappeared! Animated buttons - which are used for the main site navigation - disappear! strangely the elements are not visible but when I hover over their location the links for the navigation are still active and the pointer changes to a pointing finger to indicate that an element is present but not visible! a ghost in the machine?
Anybody got any clue whats happening? I should point of that I have not published any files in the project yet and I am working completely in mode=preview so maybe this has a bearing on this matter because I'm linking away from my window in preview mode. I have a few elements that link to document downloads and these links work fine because the files reside in the same local directory as the main index [page]. This is all I can come up with.
...as we say here in the UK I'm stumped.

Hi Maxi - feel your pain!
Try in Stage creationComplete:
sym.getSymbol("Stage_PFEILE").getSymbol("Symbol_9").css("-webkit-backface-visibility","hidden");
Alternatively, you might try in Symbol_9 creationComplete:
sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol("Stage_PFEILE").getSymbol("Symbol_9").css("-webkit-backface-visibility","hidden");
If this alternative works, then you will need to repeat it for every disappearing symbol in their respective creationComplete. Fred's solution for this weirdness works for elements on the Stage in creationComplete. And it might be that the disappearing element may need to be referenced and not just the symbol containing the element and so the pain continues...
Try in Stage creationComplete:
sym.getSymbol("Stage_PFEILE").getSymbol("Symbol_9").$("yourdissapearingelement ").css("-webkit-backface-visibility","hidden");
or alternatievely in Symbol_9's creationComplete:
sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol("Stage_PFEILE").getSymbol("Symbol_9").$("yourdissapearingelement ").css("-webkit-backface-visibility","hidden");
You may have guessed from all this that I have yet to address the issue and so its on the back burner for the moment...thanks again to Fred and let me know if any of this helps or if you find a better way...

..the strange case of radio fm and bluetooth speak...

Hi everyone,
I've just bought a bluetooth speaker ("Supertooth disco") and I successfully connected it to my Nokia N79.
It works fine with music stored in my mobile, but I can't get it work with radio fm.
Obviusly I know that earphones are needed: I connect them to my nokia, and then I select the option which activates speakers. But the result is that sound comes from my mobile's speakers, not my - already connected - bluetooth speaker.
However I noticed a very strange phenomenon:
- While radio is running on mobile speakers, I disconnect and rapidly reconnect earphones
- Suddenly my bluetooth speaker disconnects too and reconnects on his own
- As soon as it reconnects, for a couple of seconds... sound finally comes from the bluetooth speaker!
-...but then comes back to my mobile's speakers.
This fact made me think that there is a way to send radio sound to my bluetooth speaker. It seems that "something", at a certain moment, takes it back to the phone.. if only I could stop that "something", I could happily listen to my radio using the bluetooth speaker.
What do you think about that? Any idea of what's happening?
Thank you very much to any creative person who will take care of this issue

The Strange Case of Change Case

My company's name is MCS. When I'm writing in caps, and then I want to re-use that text in sentence case I use Indesign's change case feature to change caps to sentence case. When ever my company's name is in the copy, I always have to go back and re-write it as upper case. I'm afraid that one day Ill forget to do it.
Is there a setting that I could choose so that this particular combination of letters is always written in caps?

In Preverences > Autocorrect, enter the lowercase as wrong and uppercase as correct.

An alternate is to create a text variable and insert it where needed. You can speed up inserting a text variable by using Quick Apply.
Search Google for terms like "InDesign autocorrect tutorial," "InDesign text variable," and "InDesign preferences," without quotes, for details.

The strange case of the downloaded track...

Hi there.
Strange stuff coming up. I've bought some tracks from iTunes, but for just three of them I got some problems. After I've put'em down into my iPod, they start playing, but after a few seconds they suddenly stuck and music skips to the next track. The weird is that on my iTunes they perfectly play and I did a CD from them, too...
I think the problem is in the tracks themselves and not on my iPod (I love it and I'd have the same c**p for the other 500 tracks, I suppose...). Even the online support couldn't help me...
Things I've already done:
1) RESET and REBOOT
2) Downloaded new firmware 1.2
3) Re-organized my iTunes library
By the way, I try to put in my iPod the same track in another audio format and of course it works.
Does anyone of you meet the same problems?
How can I convert AAC audio format protected (as I've bought from iTunes) in other different ones?
Help me, please!
Thanks for your kindness and forgive my lenght of writing...

To your first question about truncated tracks, I am not sure if this is the same issue but here is a recent set of posts on this that might help...

How can I convert AAC audio format protected (as I've bought from iTunes) in other different ones?
One way to do it, which also strips away any sort of restrictions and protections on the tracks, is to simply burn them to an Audio CD (not an MP3 or data CD) then re-import them. You can now do anything you want with the re-imported versions.

The Strange Case of the Missing Shared Devices...

Dear Forum,
I am currently having intermittent trouble with the connection of shared devices.
The network consists of a MBP, Qnap TS109 and a Canon printer hooked up via LAN to a WAG200G. The Qnap serves music to a PS3 (WLAN) and the Mac and also serves as a TimeMachine back up device.
The problem is that every so often I lose my Shared Devices in the Finder side-bar. They just disappear.
I have managed to reconnect by playing with the Network connections preferences, but as I suspected (due to exhausting the permutations), this solution has come to an end and now I cannot urge them to reappear (unless I restart (which is a solution, but not an entirely satisfactory one)…
All devices have been set to use static IP address (none conflict).
The Mac’s settings are as follows:
TCP/IP-
Configure IPv4 Manually: then my IP address.
Subnet and router are both correct as I can connect to the Qnap & WAG admin pages and internet (I’m not sure if that is a correct test of these settings, but the numbers are correct).
Configure IPv6: Off.
Under DNS : I have entered both DNS servers as per the instructions of the ISP (I have been with them for years and these are correct).
WINS- (I don’t know what this is but…)
NETBIOS Name: the name of my Mac (All uppercase (don’t know why, but looks definitely windows (ish))
Workgroup: (blank)
WINS Servers (blank),
802.1X & Proxies: everything is per the default setting as I have never touched anything in these options.
Ethernet-
ID: My Mac MAC
Configure: Auto
Speed, Duplex and MTU have never been touched, but I am assuming that Auto covers these.
Under Network (System Preferences), then Location: Auto, then next to Status: Connected (currently active and correct IP)
The WAG is the only thing on this mini network that sets DHCP, I could change this to disable as everything has it’s own Static IP, but is there any need?
(I hope I am getting the terminology correct and not inadvertently creating confusion.)
The PS3 sees the Twonky server in the Qnap, so I am not sure if that is an issue, it doesn’t appear to be.
So why the missing devices?
None of this would actually be a problem if it was not for the fact that once the Qnap disappears from the Finder side-bar, TimeMachine does not back up (yet I can connect via a browser to the Qnap, even if it is not present in the side-bar).
The problem is I feel as though my thinking is a bit blinkered as I am only concentrating on the Network connection aspect, yet I am afraid I am not entirely sure what else I should be considering. That is to say what is causing the Mac hooked up to a perfectly adequate connection/ functioning network to suddenly cause it to drop the devices, yet retain connection by other means?
Unfortunately a forum member had exactly the same problem but sadly removed the query from open questions.
It goes without saying (but there is no harm in me saying it anyway), but any help would be appreciated.

Bump
This recently happened to me as well, actually it's happened for awhile, and only recently have begun to try to find the answers. Did you ever find out what happened?
Also seems like this post: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11367180
But that has no answers posted either. Perhaps a reformat and stick with 10.6.2, which is what I think the last version the "Shared Devices" automatically showed without deliberately mounting a network drive.
My situation is pretty much the same, "Shared Devices" do not automatically show up on the left sidebar. If I know the IP address or netbios name, I can mount network hard drives: Command + K and smb://ipaddress
My Computers, I have an iBook G4, which used to automatically pop up; a Windows7 computer that used to automatically show; and an Ubuntu 10.04 computer that would show up as well for screen sharing and smb.
Possible culprits include: netbios/smb problems, mDNSresponder/Bonjour problems, other networking config. No settings permutations have fixed the problem.

Strange case of changing broadband network address...

Hello - I am new to the forums and would appreciate any advice concerning this enquiry.
We recently got Bt infinity.
All seems well and we have good speed- - we have only been connected for a month.
Recently though a couple of times we have suddenly lost connection, or the connection seems to struggle to connect- this is with the home hub 5.
I am not that technical regarding routers, but my current set up is with the home hub providing our personal network and then we have another router ( lan > Wan) that is used to provide wifi to guests in our adjacent holiday let. This router has dd-wrt installed and is set up to restrict bandwidth to guests. All works well.
However as mentioned recently the connection seems to drop - and also the guest network drops out as well.
I noticed that if I tried a speed test at this time that the IP address had changed to something unrecognisable.
Connecting and reconnecting on the hub usuually solves it - but I don't know why it happens?
Here are the details when everything seems ''normal''

... Is that ''different'' broadband Ip address normal - or not?
If anyone can explain in relatively layman terms - I would be very grateful
Thanks

Your IP address is dynamically assigned by BT, and will change each time there is a disconnection, or maintenance on the network.

Strange case of ipod mini working but not

I have an Ipod mini which had died (blank screen, no response to charger etc) and I assumed it was battery related.
I fitted a new battery but still no response either when connected to my mac or the USB charger?
Purely by chance I placed it in an Altec Lansing inMotion speaker system and it came to life, sort of! It indicates charge, it works ie plays back music through the speakers and earphones. I can even connect to it from the mac as long as I plug the cable into the back of the inMotion set. However if I remove it it goes blank and does not respond even if connected to the mac directly by the cable.
Any ideas as to what to try next having done a full restore once I achieved the connection via the inMotion?
Yours very puzzled!!!
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I am having the exact same problem. I have a mini that was connected to my alarm clock all night, plays fine there and also plays fine on my Bose speaker system when docked.
Once I take it off...nothing. I can't get it to turn on by itself or when it's connected to any computer (also tried 2 different usb cords) and iTunes will not recognize it because it won't power on. I have tried to reset the mini and follow the standard procedure like plugging it in to charge for a few hours but nothing seems to work. Hopefully somebody has a suggestion for this.

Strange case of airport not detecting network

The airport menu often fails to show networks that are definitely being detected by the airport card - they show up strong and clear with stumblers - but I can't join the network either with the menu or the join network dialog. This can happen on networks that are very close to the computer - like three feet away - so not a signal strength issue. I often have to wait minutes for the machine to finally "see" my own airport. Curiously, it happens on three different networks, so I don't think it is just a problem with my own airport. Two networks are apple airports, the other a Linksys. I tried removing one of them from preferred network list, but that did not help.
Anyone any suggestions for resolving such a weird problem?
