T42 and alt codes problem

I am in the process of writing a biography in English which includes a lot of French words and accents. I rely a lot on alt-codes for diactritics. My G575 has its own numeric keypad so alt-codes are no problem but my wife's T42 does not have a separate numeric keypad. Turning the NumLk on and off for every accent she needs is getting rather tedious and so is switching from English to French to English keyboards.
I bought an external USB numeric keypad for the T42. It enters numbers readily enough but it will not enter alt codes. It also turns on the NumLk on the T42 not just its own.
Is there an answer? Thanks in advance for all help.
Solved!

Hello,
Since you are running Microsoft Windows XP, you could try enabling the Language Bar. Once it is enabled, you could select the French and/or French-Canadian keyboard layouts and be able to enter the accented characters, just as if you had a French or French-Canadian keyboard installed.

Multicast Sender and Receiver code problem

Hi
I am developing a multicast chat program. I am using codes from a well known book "Java Network Programming". I have run both programs 'MulticastSniffer' and 'MulticastSender'
MulticastSniffer runs OK but MulticastSender gives me the error below:
java.lang.NumberFormatException: null
Usage: java MulticastSender multicast_address port ttl
I cant figure out the error. Could some one please help me here to find the error. I have put both programs below: Thanks
Here is the code for MulticastSniffer.java
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
public class MulticastSniffer {
public static void main(String[] args) {
InetAddress group = null;
int port = 0;
// read the address from the command line
try {
group = InetAddress.getByName("235.0.0.1");
port = Integer.parseInt("8192");
} // end try
catch (Exception e) {
// ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException, NumberFormatException,
// or UnknownHostException
System.err.println(
"Usage: java MulticastSniffer multicast_address port");
System.exit(1);
MulticastSocket ms = null;
try {
ms = new MulticastSocket(port);
ms.joinGroup(group);
byte[] buffer = new byte[8192];
while (true) {
DatagramPacket dp = new DatagramPacket(buffer, buffer.length);
ms.receive(dp);
String s = new String(dp.getData());
System.out.println(s);
catch (IOException e) {
System.err.println(e);
finally {
if (ms != null) {
try {
ms.leaveGroup(group);
ms.close();

I will appreciate your help

Hi kdajani thanks for reply
It doesnt give any line number or doesnt tell where the error is.
after i run the program it gives error below. if you run the program you will see what happens.
java.lang.NumberFormatException: null
Usage: java MulticastSender multicast_address port ttl
And
according to the reply from sabre150 , I have tried using
port = Integer.parseInt(null,"4445");
using above code gives the error below
MulticastSender.java:18: cannot find symbol
symbol : method parseInt(<nulltype>,java.lang.String)
location: class java.lang.Integer
port = Integer.parseInt(null,"4445");
and
port = 4445;
using this does not execute at all
They dont work either.
Thanks you all

Asset, internal order and company code problem (AA982)

HI
Is it possibly on fixed asset that belongs to company code 1 to assign internal order (actual) for depreciation, that belongs to company code 2. We receive error (AA982); Company code for order is not company code for asset.
SAP note 431367 says no.
Eny proposals.
Thank you for help.

hi
you should not assign the same company code.

Problem with ALT codes on Apple Wired Keyboard

May I just note, I have posted this in the "Boot Camp" forum, but run the normal Windows 7 on my computer. I was unable to find a forum purely for Apple hardware.
I am using a Apple Wired Keyboard (MB110B/B) -- British-bought -- on a Windows 7 PC, and I are having some issues with ALT codes. The array of symbols I have to type (pi, sigma, etc) becomes tiresome to insert via the Character Map (on Win7). Basically, entering "alt" (left handside) then 227 does not insert "π" but rather "Ò". alt + 228 (Σ) inserts õ
I don't know if this problem is common for Apple keyboard users on Windows, but is there a way to alter this.
Thanks, Jordan.

For a third opinion, be cautious of using a dishwasher as the temperature can get pretty high. If the spill is on the 456 on the number pad, you can try holding the keyboard vertically, soak just that part in distilled water for several minutes to disolve the spill material. Run some denatured (rubbing) alcohol over the numpad, then dry with a hair dryer.
You could also try to remove the key caps...slip dental floss under the key caps in two loops, one from the top one from the bottom. Pull the key caps off one at a time, the wipe the area clean...see if there is any material sticking that needs to be cleaned off.
I do not know what keyboard you have or how it does the switching, but most keyboards today do not use mechanical switches. The switches are sealed capacitance switches so if you clean all the material from the keyboard it may work again.
Or, if you don't feel like going to this much trouble, a visit to your friendly Apple Retailer to purchase a new one may be a good idea.

My phone does not show contact names for country and area code while having in coming calls. Although, I have endorsed the name with numbers. How do I the problem. My one is a iphone 3s device with updated os. Please text to help

My iphone does not recognize saved contact number while having incoming calls due to country and area code as auto prefix. How do i fix the problem. How do i ensure that the phone recognize calls with and without the country and area code. Please text to help.

1) Open the Phone and dial *228. This is a Verizon over-the-air programming number.
2) When the system answer press 1 for "Program or activate your phone"
3) Wait for the call to disconnect. You should get a prompt stating something like, "Settings updated."
4) Open the Task Manager and kill the Phone, Message, and Contacts Applications
5) Wait a few minutes (I waited 3 just to be extra safe)
6) Open the Message App to verify the fix

My iTunes won't detect my iPhone that has to be restored via iTunes *because if pass code problems* and its running iOS 7.2

my iTunes won't detect my iPhone that has to be restored via iTunes *because if pass code problems* and its running iOS 7.0.4

If itunes is comming up and saying it can't read the device because it's locked with a passcode, you may have to put your device into recovery mode first.
To put your device in recovery mode: (Following these steps will erase your device and reset everything to factory defaults)
1) press and hold the power button until you see the slide to power off option
2) swipe to power off
3) Press and hold the home button while the device is off and connect it to your computer. Continue holding the home button until you see a graphic with the iTunes logo with a picture of a USB cable below it.
4) iTunes should give you a message that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click ok and then select Restore iPhone. iTunes will download a fresh copy of iOS and then wipe the device and restore it. Depending on the speed of your computer's internet connection this may take a while. Just leave the iphone connected to your computer until it's finished.
If itunes is not detecting it at all or is Not giving you the message that the phone is locked with a passcode, you may end up having to reinstall itunes. This seems to be a fairly common problem after the most recent itunes update (11.1.5)
If this is the case and you happen to be running a windows based computer you will have to uninstall itunes in this order from your programs and features option in control panel:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Then download and reinstall itunes from itunes.com try putting your device into recovery mode again and restore.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.

Why is my location city changed by Firefox to a town I don't live in? I put in my zip code in the weather info and it will not hold it no matter what I do. This is very frustrating and never a problem in the past. IE doesn't have the problem. Help?

Why is my location city changed by Firefox to a town I don't live in? I put in my zip code in the weather info and it will not hold it no matter what I do. This is very frustrating and never a problem in the past. IE doesn't have the problem. Can anyone help?

1) Is it a video clip? Something you recognize? To be clear, it's displaying at a point in your exported movie but doesn't appear at all in the sequence?
2) What are your sequence settings? Right-click your sequence and choose "Item Properties" to verify.

Another, and probably much easier way, is just to use Ctrl + Y... and use subsets of the selections in the SUIM reports.
But I can well understand the temptation to use tables or at least double-check the SUIM output against them.
The bugger with tables is that you can easy make the same mistakes or more than the SUIM reports do, or use old obsolete tables, or incorrect logic when interpreting single fields of the user tables.
Personally, I would normally check the exits first. Developers don't always raise self-explanatory messages...

Zen 8G This device cannot start code 10 and firmware update problem

I have read the threads in the forums on the same problem that I am having. It seems that there are few solutions for this and the ones that have been posted I have tried. Basically the problem is this, I made the silly mistake of trying to update the firmware on my Zen 8G since it was listed as a critical update. I downloaded the firmware but it failed and took me to the recovery screen. Instead of working with this, again silly me, I tried to use the Creative recovery tool. This downloaded the firmwary and started rebooting the player. At this point it just hung. I left it on for about 3 hours and nothing happened and it wouldn't turn off so I hit the reset button on the player. Now when I connect it to the computer it recognizes it as a creative zen but if I try to download the firmware the software says the player is not connected when it is. When I check the device driver, even though it shows it as a creative zen it says "This device cannot start code 0"? I have the latest Microsoft device driver loaded and it still doesn't work.
I have tried this on two different computers, one using XP and the other using Vista. I get the same problem with each. It appears to me that the problem is not really with the device driver but somehow with the firmware. However, I am not an expert at this stuff.
If anyone could please help I would appreciate it. This was a gift for my wife for the Christmas of 2007 so it is just out of warranty and the service people won't help.

GRe: Zen 8G This device cannot start code 0 and firmware update problem?Hello Tbg99,
Welcome to Creative forums!
Try booting the player in the recovery mode.
. While the ZEN is off, press and hold down the play/pause button.
2. While holding down the play/push button, push the reset button slowly using a paper clip/pin. You should feel the "click" sound when press it.
3. Slide the On/Off switch towards the power button and hold it down until the recovery boot screen appears.
Choose Clean Up then Reboot. If problem still persists, you may need to format the ZEN but take note that formatting will delete the contents of the device. To format the ZEN, boot the ZEN in the recovery mode again and choose Format this time.

Problem in merging java script and java code

hi,
i want to merge java and javascript code but it is giving some surprising results.
this is my code:
<script language = "javascript">
<%
String query_result= "1";
String buttontype="";
buttontype=(String)session.getAttribute("buttontype");
query_result = (String) session.getAttribute("query_result");
out.println(query_result);
if(buttontype!=null&&(buttontype.equals("submit")))
out.println(buttontype);
%>
alert(<%=ka%>)
</script>
<%
%>
now if i'll move "<script language = "javascript">" to:
<%
String query_result= "1";
String buttontype="";
buttontype=(String)session.getAttribute("buttontype");
query_result = (String) session.getAttribute("query_result");
out.println(query_result);*/
if(buttontype!=null&&(buttontype.equals("submit")))
out.println(buttontype);
%>
<script language = "javascript">
alert(<%=query_result%>)
</script>
<%
%>
then it prints correctly and gives alert "1" but if i'll change query_result="manish" then it is not giving alert also
i don't know wht is happening
plz help me out
manish

hi pgeuen,
Thanx for ur reply
now its working i have changed my jsp exp. tag to
alert("\"<%=ka%>\"")
and it is displaying correctly.
and if i'll give the scripting tags in "if block"then it will work but till now i didn't get why i was not getting any output when the scripting tags covers the whole jsp code. i think we can mix java script and jsp in any way.
well thanx a lot.

Animated gif and page refresh problem

Animated gif and page refresh problem
Hi There,
I'm trying to build a simple "Please wait......" screen using jsp and javascript.
So far all is going well except that my animatate gif keeps refreshing everything the page is refresh.
Is there a way the i can prevent the body of the page from refreshing?
below is my sample code:

<jsp:useBean id="StatusBean" class="com1.CandidateRelease" scope="session"/>

<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function refresh()
<% if (StatusBean.isRunning()) { %>
     //setTimeout("refresh()", 1000);
     setTimeout("location='status.jsf'", 1000);
<% }else{%>

Firefox is not displaying alt codes correctly, substituting a black diamond with a white question mark in their place.

Alt codes (such as ® for "registered" and  for "trademark") are being displayed as a small black diamond with a white question mark inside of it. This has also started happening to more simple characters such as exclamation marks, dashes and apostrophes.
Any ideas?

Thanks for your reply cor-el.
My posting actually included the alt code syntax, and is now rendered as the corresponding special character. I guess this isn't a surprise!
And no, it was rendered just fine. This morning when I went into the browser to see the problem, it was not mis-displaying as it had been...it had somehow changed and was behaving very nicely. That's all fine, but I'm a little bit wary of this FF browser functionality now...steady as she goes.
Also, I did check the (View > Character Encoding) you recommended, and after experimenting a bit discovered that using "Unicode (UTF-8)" made the wierd black diamond/white question mark character come back in all of the same places it was occuring...up until this morning. I've set my browser default to "Western (ISO-8859-1)" now, and everything is displaying as it should.
Thanks for your reply and suggestions. I hope others will learn from these experiences.
