Tnsnames all messed up?

Hi,
i'm trying to create an ODBC connection on a workstation to our Oracle server. I've got the following installed / uninstalled / reinstalled on the workstation (server is running 10.2.0.4):
- Oracle Client 10g release 1
- Oracle Client 10g release 2
- Oracle Instant Client 10g release 1 ODBC
- Oracle Instant Client 10g release 2 ODBC
- Oracle ODAC for .NET 11g
- Oracle gateways
I can select the driver I want from the list when you create an ODBC, currently:
- Oracle in InstantClient10_2 (also gave InstantClient10_1 when installed, but same results so not mentioning)
- Oracle in OraClient10g_Home1
- Oracle in OraODAC11g_Home1
I have the following TNSNAMES.ORA (addresses and service names are all correct, triplechecked):
# tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File: D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
PRODUCTIONSERVERNAME =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = productionserveraddress)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVICE_NAME = SERVICENAME)
TESTSERVERNAME =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = testserveraddress)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVICE_NAME = SERVICENAME)
BACKUPSERVERNAME =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = backupserveraddress)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVICE_NAME = SERVICENAME)
  )*1.) When I select the instantclient driver I get a list of messed up tnsnames*, i'll give a few:
- ‹Q…ÒtRèåÏ
- È
- MZ
- Rè¦Ó*2.) When I select the 10g OraClient driver I see the correct TNS-names.* When I select the productionserver and click Test connection... i get an error:
Unable to connect. SQLSTATE=IM004. Driver's SQLAllocHandle on SQL_HANDLE_ENV failed.*3.) When I select the ODAC driver I see messed up TNS-names again. Only this time there are 3 (same amount as TNSNAMES.ORA entries).*
- emtpy string   (is really blank)
- $
- MZFor 1 and 3 I can enter the TNS service name manually (instead of selecting from dropdown), however I get an ORA-12154 that the TNS cannot be resolved.
I hope anybody can assist!

Spot on!
I set the TNS_ADMIN variable to point to one single folder. Now all TNS names are correct.
However I get an error when I use (not default ODBC test, test is working) the ODBC in an application. When I use the OraClient 10g release 1 driver, I get the error when I do the default Test already...
Unable to connect. SQLSTATE=IM004. Driver's SQLAllocHandle on SQL_HANDLE_ENV failed.So I have driver version OraClient 10g release 1, Ora instant_client 10g release 2 -and- OraODAC 11g; ALL GIVE THE SAME ERROR? We have Oracle Database 10.2.0.4 Which driver should I use? All should work right?

  • The last few times I've used headphones in my iPad, the audio has been all messed up to the extent where it's better to just use the internal speakers and not the headphones. I've tried multiple pairs of headphones to no avail. Help?

    The last few times I've used headphones in my iPad, the audio has been all messed up to the extent where it's better to just use the internal speakers and not the headphones. I've tried multiple pairs of headphones to no avail.
    The iPad was bought in mid-June, but I did not get extended Apple-Care warranty on it. Any idea of what's happenening?

    Multiple means how many? If only 2 or 3, they could all be faulty. Try the headphones in some other device, to make sure they are OK. Or there could be something wrong with the headphone port.
    Your iPad is still covered by the 1-year warranty so you should make a Genius appointment and have it looked at.
    Another thing to try is to plug in the headphone jack a few times in succession to see if it frees up something inside the port.

  • Photo order is all messed up with IOS 6. This used to work in IOS 5.

    With IOS 6.0, the order in which photos are displayed on iphone and ipad is all messed up.
    In iPhoto, you see them sorted by date taken. When you sync this with itunes and view them on ipad/iphone, they show up in the wrong order (sorted by date modified).
    This used to work in IOS 5.0. Apple has changed something in IOS 6.0 and I hate it.
    is there some way to fix this and see them sorted by date taken on ipad and iphone?

    Same issue here. What i´ve realized is that the photos are only sorted wrong in event folders. Sorting is correct in the overall photo archive. This is really annoying.

  • Illustrator bug- menu bar all messed up, and it keeps crashing

    I have the weirdest bug on my trial version- the menu bar on top appears with $$$ signs and all messed up, and crashes constantly. I tried to delete and reinstall illustrator (I downloaded a trial version of the basic creative suite with Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign, but had the bug only on Illustrator. I even reinstalled Leopard (and in the first installation it was a brand new iMac), which also did not help, so I have no idea what to do. Has anyone else had the problem or knows what to do?
    Thanks!
    Dotan

    i had continual illustrator cs4 freezes in relation to the menus and some file types as well. (win 7 prof 64 bit)
    But I found it it worked in a newly created user profile fine.
    After having shelled out 3500.- eur for the masters colletion, I was rather dissapointed to find that i have to dig into my pocket for support when the software breaks. The solution is pretty simple assumabley known and could have been answered in two lines of text instead of the useless prefab answers i got.
    But first I have to join the general gripe about the stability of illustrator and flash in paticular. It is obvious that each product is created by different teams who do not share common standards. Inexplicable.
    Quark never cared about their customers while they were market leader either, remember that, Adobe?
    Their frustration became your success. It might pay to remember that part of your history.
    I solved the problem by replacing the entire settings folder with the one from the functional profile
    C:\Users\user-name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings
    save any custom color sets, etc first.
    three days of hair pulling for a 12 second solution.
    Thanks, Adobe!

  • Ms word formatting all messed up in Pages

    Hi all.
    I am using the iPad2 with Pages to edit and print from my iPad.
    I am typically opening email attachments in this case an MS Word document only to find that the formatting is all messed up.
    This is not restricted to this one document, but many.
    Anyone know what I can do about this ?
    I would have attached an example but cannot find a way of adding an attachment here for you to look at.
    Regards

  • My folders/apps all messed up/missing after upgrade

    So I was able to get my music and all other stuff back on after the upgrade (they didn't work right off). Now my folders are all messed up. I rearranged it all on Itunes, synced again and that was a wasted hour! It went right back to the way just post upgrade.
    So I did a restore to the morning before the update and its still not right. I can live with them not in folders, but a LOT are not showing on the phone, (though they do in Itunes). In Itunes they are scattered amongst 11 pages, but on the phone its mostly bare folders and only 3 pages.

    A call to Apple had no help, other than to restore all the way to factory settings. Didn't help. The apps are still spread amongst 11 pages in Itunes,and when I try to sync, it seems to sync from the phone. Not from Itunes. The phone only shows about 4 pages. Sometimes it adds new apps from previous try. If I download them again it seems to stick. Some are paid for and Apps wants me to pay again.
    still stuck. I see others have same issue and no one has responded to our issue.

  • Xorg graphics are all messed up and glitchy (screenshots) How to fix?

    Here's what gdm (gnome) looks like when i enter run level 5 with an existing xorg.conf file:
    and here's what it looks like without xorg.conf so settings are automatic:
    With the first setup (xorg.conf included) there's no way to log in.
    Without xorg.conf, you can see the loging windows and log in, and when you get to the desktop, the background remains all messed up just like at the login screen.
    Any ideas what might be wrong? i'll be right back to post my xorg.conf

  • IPhoto 11 events' dates are all messed up

    Hi, my iPhoto 11 events' dates are all messed up.
    I tried a solution that I found in the forum in which one should delete file com.apple.iPhoto but I don't have the said file.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    Yes you do. In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    You can then find and delete the necessary preference file.

  • Multi-camera timeline edits all messed up

    Sometimes when I reopen a project, the edits I made using Premiere CC's new multi-camera sync and editing tools are all out of whack. Toward the second half of my edits they will start switching out with shots that weren't even the same layer or camera... It has happened twice to me so far.
    I merge clips, sync, create the timeline from sequence, do some multi-camera editing, and then go back and make adjustments to the timeline because some clips are out of whack. Everything seems to work fine and then all of a sudden it's all messed up!
    Does this happen to anyone else?
    Side note: Don't try to adjust the "speed/duration" of an edit on a multi-camera timeline, it crashes

    By referring to merge clips I mean the new workflow where you select clips you want to sync in the project panel and right click > "Merge clips."
    I wrote that in kind of a rush and the terminology with the new type of sequence that represents a multi-camera sequence (but the icon is different from a timeline and you create a timeline with it that you edit it in using multi-camera editing mode) is a little fuzzy to me.
    I think there is bug somewhere though in editing on that timeline you create from the multi-camera sequence... possibly having to do with edits made that are beside the multi-camera ones, like if I use the razor tool and move something. I am going to try to look into it more.

  • My iCloud is all messed up

    How do I upload my Microsoft Outlook to replace the Calendar and Contacts on iCloud? My computer is Windows 7 os and Microsoft Outlook 2007. Icloud is all messed up and will not let me delete incorrect information. It keeps saying it cannot delete because of server error.
    So far, I can only download from iCloud and I do not want that!
    My iphone 4 and my computer are correct. Only Icloud is wrong. I have had to disable Icloud until I can figure out how to correct it. If anyone knows what I should do, please let me know.
    Thanks.

    I have also had this issue. I disabled icloud on my PC and my iphone4. I removed the Icloud panel, and basically got my iphone back to where I was syncing the phone with Itunes. Once this was working fine, I went back and re-setup Icloud, as if it was the first time I did it.
    Note - you will need to go into ww.icloud.com, and remove all your information from the cloud before you re-sync. It worked for me.
