Strange Situation with connection

OK, after a lot of testing I can not get my wireless to work correctly. It has worked for a long time but after a power cycle here is the situation:
1. Wired connection works fine - automatically obtaining ip address - connects to internet fine
2. Wireless connection - If I have a static ip address set to 192.168.1.xxx I can connect to the wireless router and access the setup page. However, I can not connect to the internet. Of course this won't work because I don't have it configured for static ip and my ISP account won't allow that type of setup.
3. Here is the problem. If I set my wireless connection to obtain an ip address automatically it will not connect. If it does it is limited and gives and invalid ip address.
Based on the above testing I see that my internet modem is fine. I also see that my wireless connection is fine because I can connect with a static ip address. My problem is obtaining an ip address dynamically from only the wireless connection. I have modified about every setting possible. If anyone knows what in the world I can do to fix this please let me know - Thanks

Not an expert on it, but I know some files that will run on my laptop or desktop need to be converted for Ipad, Apple Tv, Iphone, Ipod.
There is an option in the "advanced" Itunes menu to accomplish this.
I would guess there is nothing wrong with your Ipad.

Strange situation with joins!!!

Hi,
I am having a weird situation with joins. I have two tables "EMPLOYER" and "ADDR". Table "ADDR" has columns "ADDRESS_ID" and "ADDRESS1".
Table "EMPLOYER" has two columns, "BUS_ADDRESS_ID" and "MAIL_ADDRESS_ID" which are left outer joined to the "ADDR" table on "ADDRESS_ID". I have also created an alias for "ADDR" to get both addresses.
The logical table Employer has two LTS, one with "ADDR" and one with "ADDR1". (I do not want to create one LTS with both the tables as left outer joins, that will create other problems)
When I query EmployerID,EmployerName,ADDR.ADDRESS1,ADDR1.ADDRESS1, I get the correct results, but the query is very slow.
I looked at the log and there is no second left outer join* at all, but the results are correct!!!. I have attached the log sequence.

Has anyone come across this situation? I have used the same concept in the same RPD for another model, but that used Oracle 9i as the datasource. This one uses Oracle 8i.

1) Have you used dfferent joins for the 2 versions of the addr table (origianal and alias).
i.e. one joins on bus_addr_id to employer and
the other joins to mail_addr_id to employer - *+{color:#ff0000}YES{color}+*
2) do both have left outer join specified? - *+{color:#ff0000}YES{color}+*
3) can you run employee, business_addrss query once
then run employee, mail_addrss query once separately, to see if the individual queries give correct results? - *+{color:#ff0000}YES, I get the correct results{color}+*
4) also check if the business_addrss and mail addrss in the logical employer table are mapped to different LTSs - *+{color:#ff0000}YES, they are{color}+*

Strange problem with connection to Integrator Server

Hi,
I have a strange problem with making a connection to my Integrator Server.
I have one workspace folder that I share between Integrator version 2.4 and 3.0 (I have several versions installed for testing purposes)
When I try to create a new Integrator Server Project in Integrator Designer I get this nice 'Connect to CloverETL Server' panel.
By default: the connection URL is http://localhost:8080/clover. So by default Integrator Designer wants to connect to my 2.4 Integrator Server.
When I change this to http://localhost:8301/clover by using the drop-down box and fill in my credentials everything is looking fine. I click Next.
The problem now is that every time I switch to the next or previous configuration windows the connection is reset to the default http://localhost:8080/clover.
So it seems like Integrator Designer resets the CloverETL Server URL each time I switch to a different configuration window by using NEXT or BACK.
The problem occurs in both versions of Integrator Designer.
Does anybody know that the problem is? Can I change the default URL to my 3.0 Integrator Server?
Greetings,
Marcow

I'm using iPlanet App server as well and experiencing similar problem. I load my SQL Server driver by Class.forName("com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver"), then use DriverManager.getDriver() to obtain the Driver.
However, the Driver returned is not the SQLServerDriver as expected. The Driver returned is com.netscape.server.jdbc.Driver! And then when I do Driver.getConnection("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://MyServer"), it throws an SQLException saying that it doesn't accept a jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver subprotocol. Well, of course it doesn't, it's not a microsoft Driver at all.
I suspect the problem is that the netscape Driver's acceptsURL() method ALWAYS returns true in iPlanet app server, thus when you getDriver(), the netscape Driver is always returned (and always returned as the first one since it's default?). Thus even though the same piece of code works fine as a standalone application, it just doesn't work on iPlanet app server.
My work around is:
Class.forName("my.Driver");
Enumeration enu = DriverManager.getDrivers();
Driver useThis = null;
while (enu.hasMoreElements()) {
Driver d = (Driver)enu.nextElement();
if (d.getClass().toString().indexOf("my.Driver") > -1) {
useThis = d;
Mind that my above code does not have an performance issue. If you look into the source code of how DriverManager get a Driver for a particular URL, it also loads the whole set of available Drivers, then call acceptsURL() method on each of them to find the first "suitable" one. Thus time complexity is the same.
I know this is not a very elegant solution and it defeats the purpose of having a DriverManager. Does any one else has a better way to solve this problem, like a way to specify the priority of each Driver so that SQLServerDriver is returned before the netscape Driver?
Thanks a lot.

Getting strange error with connect by clause

Hi Everyone,
I have a 2 test oracle databases and each of them contain a table called department (dept_no,dept_name, main_dept_no) where each department entry is connected to main department by dept_no in the MAIN_DEPT_NO column.
The strange problem is when I execute the query on the 1 ^st^ database I get D.DEPT_NO is not available column (D.* all columns from department table) but it is there and what is more strange this query works fine on 2 ^nd^ database.
Is there any settings I have to do in the database so that it can work with connect by clause ?
SELECT SUBSTR(LPAD(' ', 4*(LEVEL)) || '· ' ||DEPT_NAME,1,50) DEPT_NAME_HY, D.*
FROM PERSONEL.DEPARTMENT D
START WITH MAIN_DEPT_NO IS NULL
CONNECT BY PRIOR DEPT_NO=MAIN_DEPT_NOThank you.

Confusing situation with Time Capsule

I have a strange situation with my Time Capsule. First of all, this all started with my Macbook and the fact that I live in a Dorm.
When I first got here, I could not get the dorm's wifi to work on Mac OS X, so I used bootcamp to get on the internet until I could get the tech people to help me. I have since learned that by doing this, I made the system register that my username goes with a PC.
Therefore, sometimes my internet will get stuck in the "Download the Security Agent" page that our dorm sends to those who don't have some security client. It then tells me to download it, giving me a .exe. In other words, it thinks I am a PC and need a client that Macs don't need.
Sorry, there is a point.
I have been having trouble setting up my Time Capsule for months now. Whenever I get an internet connection for the Time Capsule through an Ethernet cable connected to a Data Port in the wall, the network that the Time Capsule sets up sends me to the "Download Security Agent" page, which PCs could get rid of by download the patch, but I can't because I have a Mac. (They won't fix it either)
Long story short, is there anyway to have the Time Capsule not access the Internet and JUST serve as a wireless hard drive?

a disk image of the backup on my desktop which disappears when Time Machine is finished
Yes, that's normal, TM only need to mount TC during the backup, it will be unmounted after backup is complete.
Plus there is only one file on the Time Capsule drive called XXX.sparsebundle
That's again correct. The file structure of the TM+TC backup is different to the TM+External HD. The sparesbundle is specially designed to be mounted over network, and the name of the sparsebundle file contains the MAC address of the computer that's created it. So that it can be identified by TM later.

So you are saying that you followed all of the steps in the support document for problems with connection, including removing and reinstalling iTunes? You do not say what you have tried, so it is hard to make recommendations. If this is the case, then you have tried resolving driver issues? What if you go to Device Manager and look for the iPhone. You should be able to click on it and see about drivers. You can update/reinstall the device driver.

AE CS5 Crashing with Zero Denominator & Strange Situation errors

Good afternoon!
In AE CS5 for OSX, we've started observing a strange behavior:
- I have an AE project w/ footage loaded, including a Quicktime movie rendered out of another app (e.g., a 3D app)
- I need a change to the movie, so I re-render it from the 3D app, replacing the existing movie.
- In AE, I get impatient and click Reload Footage while the movie is still being re-rendered.
In past versions of AE, I got an error (unrecognized file type) but AE continued to operate. With CS5, I get a series of errors:
"may be an unsupported format" (expected)
"zero denominator in ratio addition"
"zero denominator comparing ratios"
"zero denominator converting ratio denominators"
"After Effects Error: Strange Situation"
Even after the movie finishes rendering, I keep getting the errors and clicking OK keeps presenting errors. Have to force-quit AE to get on with my day.
Is this a bug? New in CS5? I understand that I'm trying to do something "wrong" by loading a piece of footage that's invalid, but shouldn't I just get a polite "that piece of footage is no good", the ol' test-pattern, and be able to keep working and come back to it when it's ready?
Anyone else run into this?
--Rob

but shouldn't I just get a polite "that piece of footage is no good", the ol' test-pattern, and be able to keep working and come back to it when it's ready?
In theory yes, but as I just explained in another thread, 64bit AE vs. ye olde QT is full of workarounds and limitations due to Apple not seeming to care at all. That and the differences in 64bit file access on a more general level may lead AE to wrong conclusions. I'm sure it's a bug of sorts plus perhaps your 3D app (Cinema 4D?) could also do better by closing and re-opening the file from time to time so at least some parts are accessible instead of keeping it permanently open. For the time being, simply use image sequences...

Strange problem with the internet connection

Hello,
I've a strange problem with the network connection , I have bought a Iphone 3g in Italy in date 31st
October 2010. Now in Italy I have just subscribed a telephone rental with Wind company, where there is an unlimited internet service. The problem is that in my Iphone there is not the line.
All this is strange because I receive the messages from social networks (like facebook and msn) but I cannot open tha page for the internet connection. I have gone to Apple store and I have tried to put my SIM in an other phone (iphone 3g or 3gs): my SIM is perfectly working.
The problem is only for the internet connection on my phone because wifi connection is good.
Thanks!!

Please help everyone who has the same problem by posting yr solution, thx!

Strange issue with rights of account, used by SSIS (Foreach Loop Container does not return file names without Admin rights on server)

Hello everyone.
Faced very strange issue with account, which is used to run SSIS package.
The specific package uses Foreach Loop Container to retrieve file names within the specified folder, and put them into Import file task.
The package is set up to run under specific service account. This service account is given all permissions (Full control) to the folder where source files reside.
So the issue is: SSIS package fails to execute this task (Foreach Loop Container and then Import), and shows that no files are found in the directory (although files ARE there).
Once we're adding the service account into local Administrators group on the SQL Server, it works! Removing - does not work again. We cannot leave the service account as SQL server's admin as it's prohibited by our IT policies, and is just a bad practice.
Any ideas, please?

Strange issue with external monitor, only working when external speakers plugged in (using Thunderbolt to VGA adaptor)

Hey – I am having a very strange issue with my external monitor; where it only works if my external speakers are plugged in and connected.
I am using a late 2011 Macbook pro, running Mavericks 10.9.4, along with an MBox 2 (USB Audio Interface), and two powered speakers (KRK Rokit 5). This setup has had no issues. I have just acquired an external monitor (Benq T2200HD), which I am using with a thunderbolt to VGA adaptor (a cheap Chinese knockoff adaptor).
To start - I plugged the monitor in with the thunderbolt adaptor, and it powers up and works fine. However, there is a nasty buzz coming from the speakers. I did some research and it looks like a simple ground loop issue. I did a bit of troubleshooting, and this is where things get weird.
What I found is - If I unplug the MBox, the monitor loses signal from the computer (displaying ‘No Signal Detected!’). Further, if I keep the MBox plugged in, however unplug both the cables from the MBox to the speakers, the monitor loses signal. It doesn’t matter if the speakers are turned off, however they need to be plugged in (or the monitor loses signal). Weirder still, I can unplug the MBox, however the monitor will work if I plug in the speakers through my macs headphone jack.
Simply put, the monitor only works if there is a direct connection between the computer, the speakers, and the power source. What is going on here? Is the monitor grounding through the computer port, to the speakers (I don’t know how this works, is this possible?). Could it somehow be the cheap VGA adaptor I am using?
Some other information:
- Everything is plugged into the same multi-box for power. I have tried plugging things into separate sources, and the result is the same.
- If I unplug the thunderbolt adaptor, then the speaker noise disappears straight away.
- The ground noise doesn’t appear in my headphones, which are plugged into the MBox.
Any information would be great – am I missing something here, or is this genuinely weird?

Well, I went back into Best Buy to test on 3 other laptops (2 Asus, and their floor model for this Sony). It seems to be doing the same problem so at least I was able to rule out broken hardware issue on my particular laptop.
Here's what I did to test:
Since I couldn't really install Adobe Premiere on their machines, I used the DVIO software (http://www.carr-engineering.com/dvio.htm) and a 5 min clip I captured. I transferred onto their machines, hooked up my Sony D8, and attempted to play the video. It would play for 15 seconds and then stop and jitter with a loud noise (like it does on my laptop). I even tried changing each machine's firewire driver to the legacy one and same results. I pulled a brand new 4 pin to 4 pin firewire cable off their shelf and still the same problem.
I think I've nailed it down to Win7x64 bit Home Edition not playing nice with Firewire driver. Very annoying. I can't find any concrete evidence of this from other users on any of the forums that have my particular problem, but from my own testing, it's all I can conclude.
I have 2 other things I can try:
1. Opening the laptop and looking at the firewire to maybe find appropriate driver (ugh, I don't want to have to open this thing up).
2. Upgrading to Win7x64bit Pro and possibly testing with XP on the new MS Virtual PC (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/). I can't do it with my Home edition apparantly.

Are you watching this content though iCloud or though from iTunes on your local computer? If it is from iCloud have you tried downloading the content to iTunes and watching it on ATV from that source to see if it still happens? This is geerally a much more reliable way to view the content. Easer to fast forward and rewind too.
- I have a stable internet connection
Clearlly you don't
>(Ive tested on other devices)
Which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud.
>I am able to stream Netflix problem free from my AppleTV without so much as a hicup
Again which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud.
>- I am able to download the episodes to my phone, ipad, and computer without any issues
Again which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud. It does remove your ISP throattly traffice as a possible cause though. So that is good.
Have you checked your wireless rounter? Tried doing the factory restor on it? Upgrading it's firmware? Is it and or ATV getting extreamly hot when this problme happens?

Strange problem with Adobe Acrobat X (crash without a trace)

Hi,
I have a strange problem with Adobe Acrobat. It happens totally randomly, it leaves no signs in system logs.
What is happening: during my work Adobe Acrobat sudennly crashes. After a crash I cannot run it again - system seems to do something for a second, but then nothing happends. When i look into taks manager - there are no processes of Acrobat.exe. It just doesn't want to run. What I need to do is to reinstall whole Adobe Acrobat - which requires restart.
I've already tried to restart system after crash, it doesn't help - reinstall is required.
Sometimes everyting is fine for a 3 months, sometimes crash happens a week after the previous one. It also happens in very different situations (somtimes while opening a file, sometimes when doing something simple, sometimes in more complex tasks).
Has anyone encountered a similar problem?

Strange problem with ACLs

Hi,
I have just migrated an oracle database from 11.1.0.7 on Win Server 2003 to 11.2 on Linux 64 bit. I am having a strange problem with ACLs - I can create the ACL but when I perform either of the following two commands:
SELECT * FROM DBA_NETWORK_ACLS
or
SELECT * FROM NET$_ACL
I get no rows returned. The ACL exists somehow because if I try and create it again I get the error that it exists. Has anyone got any advice here? Something is out of sync and I need to know how to fix it up.
Thanks
