Temporary Solution for endless connecting mail problem.
I've never really had problems connecting to my Gmail IMAP account. Just my 3 POP accounts. I found the setting on Gmail to check my three other POP accounts and put the messages in my Gmail IMAP inbox. Leave a copy of the original message on the server(s). No forwarding necessary.
I now use the iPhone to check only one account (Gmail), get all my mail from the other 3 accounts and am able to reply as if from the POP address. It's much quicker only checking one account, and this temp solution I may keep using even after a software/firmware upgrade.
Original messages left on the server(s) are available for download to my iMac when I get home from the road.
Hope this might be of some help.

Follow up to original post.
Your POP accounts will show up in Gmail IMAP and you can check each account manually, if you wish, thru Gmail and not have to connect to the POP servers.

Temporary Solution for iPAd Connectivity Problem.
I have posted this a few times, because I was excited to find a quick way to reconnect my iPad to its network. Hope it works for you too.. Please reply if it works..
When your iPad displays the screen to re enter your network security key, do not enter the key, instead, press the iPad's power button until the iPad displays "Slide To Power Off". Then touch the "Cancel" button on the bottom of the screen, and the iPad will reconnect to your network. This is NOT a fix but a simple workaround until Apple finds a software fix.
Please respond to this thread if it works for you.
Remember this is only a workaround for iPads that disconnect from a network, asking to re enter its security key.REMINDER,
This works but you Must Not enter the security key when asked to, AND you MUST hold in the Power Button until you get the "Slide To Power Off" screen. Simply "Cancel", and your iPad should continue to reconnect on its own. -
Temporary solution for DNG support under 10.5.5
Those of you who use DNG files (ie. because you are using different brand of camera's like I do) certainly have noticed that DNG became unsupported after their upgrade to MacOSX 10.5.5.
A temporary solution that worked for me can be found here:
http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php/topic,2353.0.html
Hope Apple and the Aperture team will fix this problem asap.So you need to turn on the bg mode(2.4GHz) or a mode(5.8GHz)! Try it.
do you have any detailed instruction of this? -
A solution for Secure Static Versioning problem in 1.5.0_10
Hi,
I have JRE 1.3.1_09 and 1.5.0_10 on my computer and I think I have solved static versioning problem.
My test computer:
- Windows XP sp2
- Internet Explorer 7 (on another computer also IE 6)
- Firefox 2.0.0.1
- JRE 1.3.1_09
- JRE 1.5.0_10
I. Solution for Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7
1. Edit registry and add:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Deployment\Policy
DWORD: EnableSecureStaticVersioning = 0 (Hex)
2. Restart browser if started.
3. Start web page with java applet.
II. Solution for Firefox 2.0.0.1:
1. Install 1.3 JRE in the same parent directory as 1.5 JRE.
Because default default installation path for 1.5 JRE is C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_10 you need to modify
1.3 installation path from default C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.1_09 to C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.3.1_09
After installation check out that "bin" directory is in the following path:
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.3.1_09\bin
2. Install 1.5 JRE in default installation directory: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_10.
After installation check out that "bin" directory is in the following path:
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.3.1_09\bin
3. Restart browser if started.
4. Start web page with java applet.
Note: HTML page must use <object> tabs for Internet Explorer or <embed> tabs for any other browser (e.g. Firefox). You need to specify correct classid in object and/or embed tag.
P.S. If anyone would like to discuss with me send me an e-mail to [email protected], but please post question to forum and just mail me a link to forum. I will write my answer to forum.
Hope this helps,
GrofatyI have been trying to find a solution for this issue at our organization for over 6 months. Finally, we have a work around to run multiple java versions for newer and aging java apps.
Thanks,

WRT610N V1 - Solution for not connecting iTunes to Apple TV
I have a solution for anyone with a WRT610N(V1)who is having problems (BTW this will work with V2 router also). I could not connect my iTunes to my apple TV, or it would appear fleetingly. Same problem using my iPad as a remote.
The issues you are having are to do with the firmware. Last year Cisco stopped performing firmware updates for version 1 (V1) of their router and fixed all your/my issues for their Version 2 router (V2) [Look on bottom of your router for version number - it is after the model number].
The fix, as obvious as it might be, is to load the V2 firmware on your V1 router.
Firstly go to the Cisco download page for the WRT610N router (http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/wireless/lbc/WRT610N/download)
Select Version 2.0 as your model (yes I know this is wrong and will make you sweat a little)
Download firmware upgrade to an easy to find location on your computer (I used desktop). You will now have downloaded file FWWRT610N_2.00.00.05_20090710code.bin.
Go to your router admin function (if you don't know, just type 192.168.1.1 into your browser) Default User ID is admin and leave password blank.
You will now see the Linksys router administrative application.
Click on "Administration"
After you have done that you should see "Firmware Upgrade"
Click on "Firmware Upgrade"
Select the file I mention earlier from the location to which you downloaded it.
Allow router to upgrade (you do not need to do anything to router once it is finished).
Go to apple TV and bask in the fact that you now have a fully functional apple TV with iTunes happily available.
I am sorry if these instructions are a little simplistic, but I wrote them trying to help anyone who is used to just opening a box and ignoring the manuals (like me!)
Good luck and Merry ChristmasSolution for people who have linksys WRT610N. I hope you find this and it helps!

Temporary solution for PSDs and Illustrator 64 bit
I found a temporary solution to the problem of placing or opening PSDs on 64bit computers in Illustrator CS3 and CS4.
Right click the icon for Illustrator and select Properties /
Compatibility
Then select Run this program in compatibility mode for
Windows XP (Service Pack 2)
It doesn't affect the other programs - only temporarily changes the screen for Illustrator only.
I can now open and place layered PSDs directly into Illustrator again.

Need Solution for iWeb/QuickTime viewing problem in IE 6 for Windows
When viewing an iWeb page in IE 6 for Windows with a background picture and a QuickTime movie embeded, the QT movie frame will "smear" when the page is scrolled. More specifically, The QT movie frame will not lock into its proper position as long as the page has a background picture selected in iWeb when viewing w/ IE 6 for Windows. Does anyone know of a solution for this? Does this problem still exist w/ later versions of IE for Windows?
By the way, if you don't already know this, changing the Page Background setting back to the default of 'Color Fill' in iWeb and republishing will not correct the problem once a background picture is selected for a page. You have to set the Page Background setting to 'None' and republish. The movie frame will then be locked into place when scrolling the page in IE 6 for Windows.

The images for the background of my newest pages use this as a tiled background successfully.

I'm not sure how well tiling would work on your page though since it would begin to repeat vertically when you don't want it to (for me, tiling is exactly what I needed). -
Finally a SOLUTION for the black-screen problem!
It took me almost a MONTH to find a solution to this wide-spread problem - and I had to do it by myself.
I've got a Qosmio x300 (about 18 months old) and started having the black screen / lock-down problem about 6 months ago but it was sporadic. When it started getting worse, I took it in for repair, made sure it was cleaned religiously, had both a cooling pad and household fan directed at it to eliminate any possible overheating issue, made sure all of the *Toshiba* drivers were up to date according to their site, etc... The problem kept getting worse - to the point where I couldn't even open a browser without the dumb thing crashing. VERY frustrating to say the least.
Finally I gave up - I removed the nVidia driver that ran the GeForce 9700M GTS video card and used the standard VGA driver. No more lock downs, but it limited what I could do because the on-board memory wasn't being utilized. I re-installed the *Toshiba* drivers for the card and presto - lock-downs again.
Fed up, I went directly to the nVidia download page and chose to have it automatically detect my card. Now, granted, it says to try to use the OEM versions of graphics, but Toshiba's drivers are FLAWED! I installed the driver suggested directly from nVidia, and what do you know? Full use of the card again and not a single crash!
I hope all of my frustration, and the solution that resulted from it, can help someone else not have to waste time, money, and hair on their heads as it did with me. =) The sad part about it all - this is a TOSHIBA flaw that affects a wide range of systems and models - and nothing has or is being done about it.
Good luck! =)
Dave (Montreal, Canada)Which version of the nVidia driver did you use?

Possible temporary fix for mouse scroll wheel problem in Lion
This is a potential temporary fix for those users of Lion who are unable to fix the reversed mouse scroll wheel issue. I myself have a Microsoft Arc Mouse (not the touch version but the original version) and when I went into the mouse system preferences there was no checkmark box option to return the scroll wheel to its original configuration. When I called Apple about it I was told it's an issue with Lion not recognizing the mouse as being able to reverse the scroll wheel and that Microsoft will need to update the firmware to allow for this change. On a whim, I tried out my wife's Logitech mouse (can't remember the model but it's a fairly recent one) and checked the system preferences. This time there was the checkmark box to allow the scroll wheel to be returned to its original configuration and I could use the scroll wheel as normal. When I plugged my Arc Mouse back in, the scroll wheel had reverted to its original configuration of rotate the wheel down for down scroll and up for up scroll.
So, for those of you who are unable to correct your scroll wheel through preferences, you might want to try plugging in another mouse, making the correction in system preferences, and then plug your original mouse back in.I mean it. Apple makes major changes in the way things have worked for years, then makes that change the default, causing 1m people to struggle. Bad Bad App le.
There other changes like this in Lion as well, which are arbitrary and are "App le" policy now, which even App le themselves do not follow! (e.g. Cmd-Delete for "Don't Save" in a few App le applications, where 900 million people have used Cmd-<first letter of button> already, for years)
And yes, I did have to go next door and borrow a mouse. "Why?" they said... "I have a Mac" I said. "<laughter> get a real computer" they said. App le does itself no favors by pulling this stuff.
Many of us cannot buy new equipment when arbitrary changes are made, and "get a new driver" is a slap in the face, especially when such changes as Reversing scroll for many-millions could easily be done by making the "new way" an Option, not a default.
Don't get me wrong, Mac and iPhone etc are way ahead of MS and all, but the rabid arrogance inside App le is App aulling. -

Hi,
we all sometime or the other have faced the problem with SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1, it passes all the data into a single excel sheet. the following is the code i have written using the same standard FM to resolve the issue.
Problem's Facing : To send the output of a report as mail attachment (Excel sheet) from SAP, to the User's outlook or TCP/IP
What is happening : All the data which is being passed to the excel is being put in a single cell of the excel sheet.
Cause : the difficulty lies in getting the internal table from SAP report, passing it to email Function Module If the structure of the internal Table is unknown .
Solution:
if the user while sending data to the Function module ( created using the following code) puts a '#' between field values, all the fields gets separated into individual cells and the data gets printed as required.
<b>advantages</b> of the following code are:
1) User just need to type userid or multiple userid's separated by comma.
2) Performs multiple tasks with one function module.
3) It can be used to send file with subject only
4) It can be used to send file with subject and body
5) It can be used to send file with subject, body, and attachment
6) Attachment can be of 'TXT' format or 'XLS' format depending upon the choice of the user.
7) User specific parameters for EMAILID, subject, body and attachment type avoiding the dump error of "Type conflict"
8) If the user requires to send output of a report as an excel file, then a single internal table will store the total output separating the field values by ' # ' and the data gets printed evenly. the ' # ' symbol is used as Tab delimiter.

I hope this helps majority of us who are having problems with implementing a login solution.
Also note that u can connect to any db of ur choice..the query syntax and connection parameters now depends on that supported by your DB.
Thanks All
Olumide BHello
I think u have used Model 1 Architecture.
It would be great if u follow the MVC Architecture.
What about this??
Login.html -> User login Page.
Login Servlet -> Handles Request from Login.html
LoginBean -> Uses to validate the user.
Success.jsp/Retry.jsp -> The Final page that will be displayed.
Am also new to Java Server Side programming.
Suggestions are always welcome.

Bizarre solution for OfficeJet Pro K5300 problem when Word docs hang in the print queue spooling
A bizarre solution to a spooling problem.
Problem:
Word documents sent to an HP Officejet Pro K5300 Series printer hang in the print queue, saying “spooling”. They do not print, and cannot even be cancelled.
Solution (Bizarre Solution).
The solution that worked for me was to rename the printer by removing the first space after “HP” in the printer’s name. When I did this, Word could then print to the printer. If the space is then re-inserted back into the printer-name then Word is still able to print!! I don’t know how, but it worked, and it worked on two separate installations! The full explanation is below with more options for testing that still need to be explored, or preferably explained by HP and or Microsoft.
First here is some background. My computer is an IBM NetVista 2.4GHz, P4. It has a 250GB HDD with lots of room and 2GB of RAM. My operating system is Win XP Pro with Service Pack 3. My anti-Virus in Trend Micro Internet Security 2009, updated regularly, (I turned it off while installing the printer software). I use Office Professional 97, with Office SP2b).
I bought a new HP Officejet Pro K5300 printer.
I installed the printer software, and followed HP’s directions strictly. I used the installation CD that was supplied by HP. My connection to the printer was USB.
The installation proceeded uneventfully and I printed a test page after it finished.
After that I printed a configuration page, then I printed a couple of photographs using Irfan View. The quality was great and I was pleased.
Then I tried to print a 2-page Word document, using Word 97, but nothing happened. No response from the printer, no error messages, just silence. I clicked on the printer icon on the task bar to look at the print queue and saw that my document was listed as “Spooling”, but it was not making any progress. I waited a couple of minutes but still no progress. I tried canceling it but it would not cancel/delete. The job on the queue would not respond to anything. I could not print it and I could not cancel it. The only way I could recover was to shut down Word, which flushed the queue and lost the job.
I tried this a few more times but with no success.
I did a Google search for this problem, and I found a few solutions. I tried them, but none worked. I checked HP’s website and found this problem listed, with some solutions from HP. I tried HP’s solutions, but they did not work either. In fact, when there was a Word document stuck “spooling” in the queue, HP’s diagnostic utility said that it could not even communicate with the printer, and suggested that my USB connection was bad. However, when I flushed the queue by shutting down Word, I could successfully send a Test Page to the printer, and I could print a detailed PDF from Adobe. So Word was the problem, not my USB connection.
After a pondering this problem over the next few days, and keeping in mind the fact that the default HP printer-name was “HP Officejet Pro K5300 Series”, I remembered that many years ago I could not get an Excel VB macro to select a printer, and print to it, if the printer-name had any spaces in it. I had noticed that the HP default printer name had 4 spaces in it, so I wondered what would happen if I renamed the printer by removing the spaces from its name.
So I renamed the printer to “HPOfficejetProK5300Series” (no spaces), and voila! Word could now print to it!
Then I wondered, if it was necessary to remove all of the spaces from the name, or just some of them, to get the printer to work, so I renamed the printer back to it’s default name in 4 stages, at each stage re-inserting one of the original spaces, and testing the printing. At each stage the printer kept successfully printing from Word, until I had re-inserted all four spaces and the printer’s name was back to being identical to the default name that it was installed with, but now it would print from Word on command.
So why was it that Word could not get the printer to print with the printer’s default installed name, but if I removed all of the spaces from the printer’s name, then re-inserted them, the printer would print from Word every time?
So I did another test.
I uninstalled the entire printer software package and installed the updated Full Feature software package, filename “OJProK5X00_Full_8_3.exe”, 159MB download from HP.
After the package was installed, Word could NOT print to the printer, but other programs like Adobe PDF reader, and Irfan View, could print to it. I tried each software package about three times each, with consistent results.
I then renamed the printer, but this time I just removed the first space after the letters “HP”, i.e., I changed the printer’s name from “HP Officejet Pro K5300 Series” to “HPOfficejet Pro K5300 Series”. After I did that Word could then print to it. I then changed the printer’s name back to “HP Officejet Pro K5300 Series” by re-inserting the first space, and Word could still print to it now.
I challenge someone from HP to read this and explain why Word won’t print to this printer until I rename the printer by removing a space, but can still print to it after the space is re-inserted!
Of course, there is another alternative. Perhaps I could have renamed the printer by removing or changing any of the other characters, instead of the spaces. But each test involves completely uninstalling and re-installing the software, and I have better things to do with my time.
This question was solved.
View Solution.What an amazing solution!
I recently purchased an HP Deskjet F4580 and had discovered that when using Word 97, it would print OK when using the Print icon but when trying to print using File->Print->choose page number or current page, Word would crash. Excel, Adobe etc would all print fine. I have spend many hours removing and then reloading the HP software and Office Professional software but this solution fixed the problem in a few minutes. PC is running XP Home SP3.
Just one thing I would add is that my computer has two accounts - one is the Computer Administrator account and the other is a Limited account. When I took out the space between HP and Deskjet so the printer became HPDeskjet F4500 series, I could then print from the Administrator account using either the print icon or File->Print->choose page number or current page. When I switched to the Limited account, I would get the same crash when I tried File->Print->choose page number or current page (OK with icon). The Limited account mode does not allow the printer to be re-named.
I went back to Admin mode, re-classified the Limited account as a Computer Administrator account, logged on to this account and re-named the printer (in this case I took out another space so it became HPDeskjetF4500 series. Then it printed fine using the print icon or using File->Print->choose page number or current page. I then went back to the Computer Administrator account, re-named the printer to HPDeskjet F4500 and re-classified the second account back to Limited account mode. Now printing OK in both Computer Administrator account mode and Limited account mode.

Solution for some iPod/iTunes problems...
If you are having one or more of the following problems, Windows may be confusing iPod with a network drive or hard drive and may exhibit strange behavior, like:
-iPod does not show up in iTunes or as disk in Windows Explorer
-iPod does not show up as disk in Windows Explorer (even though disk mode in enabled ont he iPod).
-iTunes and Windows Explorer report the wrong amount of available space on the iPod.
-No songs appear on the iPod after an apprently successful update from iTunes.
-Music copied to mapped network drive instead of iPod.
-The iPod setup assistant appears in iTunes everytime the iPod is connected.
-iTunes displays the "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode- use iTunes to restore" message even after the iPod has been restored.
-The wrong iPod name displays in the iTunes source list.
Please note*changing the iPod drive letter may not affect what letter theiPod uses on subsequent connections, so its not the best long-term solution unless you want to change this everytime you have issues.
To change the drive letter:
-Open Control Panel in Windows
-Go to Administrative Tools
-Go to Computer Management
-Go to Disk Management
-Locate theiPod and right click on it, then click Change drive letter and paths.
-Use the drop-down box to select a new drive letter. Make sure to use a drive letter that is not already assigned to a network drive. The drop-down menu will display all letters that are not assigned to a physical drive, but network drives will stil be listed so be careful. If you arent sure, add a new drive and pick your own letter, something way down the list is best since common drives are A, B, C, D, etc.
-click OK
-Click yes on the confirmation box
-Restart computer
Good luck!!! It worked for me!!!Honestly, I don't know!! I searched ITunes and IE7 and saw that others were having the same problem I was and that if they stopped using IE7 Itunes started working again.
Basically, I was just proud of dumping Internet Explorer! See, I really love Macs. I had an ibook that finally conked out and i couldn't afford another mac.
