Unicode app on Win32 platform: What should the client locale be?

You probably have solved one of my biggest mystery when you say there is no UTF8 Win32 codepage. I am using Windows 2000 with Oracle 8i OCI. I used Win32 API putenv() to set NLSCHARACTERSET to UTF8 in my Unicode-16 application. However, all the accented character insertions from my application, such as @, have been corrupted when they get through the OCI calls.
What client locale should I set to? My app is supposed to support Oracle Server with character set WE8ISO8859P1, UTF8, JA16EUC and JA16SJIS. Originally I thought setting my app to NLS_CHARACTERSET to UTF8 would solve all the encoding and transcoding problem. Please advise. Thank you!
Regards, Nancy.

Hi Nancy,
I need a few clarifications. You mentioned your app is supposed to support Oracle Server with character set
WE8ISO8859P1, UTF8, JA16EUC and JA16SJIS. Are you saying that the database character set might be any of 4 you list? Is your app 3 tier? Can a web browser call it? More details would be appreciated, and I will do my best to help. I would like you to take a look at a particular paper: "Migrating Oracle Internet Applications to Support Unicode" at
http://technet.oracle.com/products/oracle8i/
There are specific sections on OCI programming that I think fit your scenario. Take a look around page 30.

Help .. I need to change my current location in my apple ID but i am asked to finish my balance first .. Just 16 cents and its not enough to purchase any item from the app store .. What should i do ?

You can try contacting iTunes support via this page and ask if they can remove the balance : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

You probably cannot get a refund, since the terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that all sales are final. You can contact the iTunes Store, explain the reason for your request, and ask, though:

It's possible they'll make an exception for you.
Good luck.

If the iPhone is powered off, you cannot locate the iPhone with Find My iPhone.

You can initiate an remote erase if or when the iPhone is powered back on.

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see when iPhoto opens or tries to open, i.e. how soon does it crash?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

What should the"default behavior" be for WiFi network connections?

I Have been able to at least temporarily fix the plethora of problems encountered after downloading Mountain Lion to my 2009 17" MBP just ten days ago. Thanks to the time and effort of so many posters that are much more savvy than me, I successfully executed the steps suggested in many of the posts and with good results. It surely beats running down to the Apple store and being told that I am the only one with a problem.
Okay, I've realized that I don't really know what the default behavior of the WiFi network connection should be?
Specifically:
Should the Wi-Fi drop down in Network always be" looking for networks", even though I am obviously on my Network?
Should the Wi-Fi be connected at all times even when your computer is in sleep mode- or deep sleep mode? There have been so many problems with Wi-Fi dropping off,slow or hanging loads, etc.
I unchecked "ask to join networks, in Network preferences thinking it might stop looking for networks when it doesn't need to because I'm already on mine. I do see my neighbors (four neighbors) in the drop down in Network.
How do you get into Time Capsule's settings, to check speeds, especially ping? What should the ideal settings be?
How do you know if your DHCP license is renewed? I've heard that feature isn't working and may be the culprit to some of the Wi-Fi problems.
I'll look forward to your help in understanding more about this. I've been in the support area a lot lately, I've read plenty of definitions, and explanations of the different options to choose from in Apple's support area, but nowhere have I seen anything that explains what the default behavior should be or perform like.
Thanks, as always.

Generally, you don't want to tweak the wifi settings. It pretty much takes care of itself. The caveat to that is, of course, if you're experiencing problems.
The 'looking for networks' behaviour only happens when you log in, wake the mac from sleep OR when you click on the wifi icon. You clicking on it tells the mac "I want to see what networks are available" - so it does a scan for you to check to see if any new networks have appeared since you last clicked on it (or woke/logged in). In short, if you don't want it to look for new networks, don't click on the icon!
Unchecking the 'ask to join networks' option only applies when your mac detects a new network (such as when it wakes) that you haven't already authorised; it'll ask you to confirm whether you want to join it or not. Otherwise, if the network is open it'll join automatically. You should keep this selected if you travel around with your Mac. It's a good idea to know what network you're on before you start plugging in passwords or typing other things into the mac.
There is a utility that you can use for ping and traceroute called 'Network Utility'. Click on the Spotlight icon in the top right of your screen and type "Network' and you should see it at the top of the list. Hit 'return' to open it.
DHCP licences are normally renewed automatically by your router every 24 hours. Again, there's no reason to be messing about with that unless you're experiencing problems.
If you're experiencing wifi dropout, let us know, and we'll make some suggestions, but if you're not, you're best leaving your mac to manage the background processes. It knows what it's doing!

Under Option Summary, the usage includes AUDIO, PHOTOS, APPS and OTHERS. What are the things included in OTHERS? It is using up my storage space.

Under Option Summary, the usage includes AUDIO, PHOTOS, APPS and OTHERS. What are the things included in OTHERS? It is using up my storage space. Can someone please help?

To add to Nick's comments, "Other" is typically approximately 1 gigabyte. Occasionally for some users, it gets much (many times) bigger because they have some corrupt files. If that's the case, it's best to restore the iPhone.
Plug the iPhone into (current) iTunes, let it sync, then choose "Restore" on the right. If restoring from the iPhone backup does not help, then restore (again) as new and then manaully sync the iPhone.

What should the settings in Preview be if scanning documents and the faxing them

I'm trying to scan documents using preview and my printer. Once I scan the documents, I save them in dropbox and later fax them using SFax. However, the faxes are coming out blurry and very difficult to read. What should the Preview settings be on? PDF? File Format? How many dots per inch? What are standard settings?

I am a recently retired webmaster and fortunately have fewer eye problems than most people my age. I have astigmatism and, in common with most people over 40, have reduced accommodation. Perhaps because I have spent considerable time in front of computer screens my eyes focus most easily at screen distance. I use low power long distance glasses to watch television and drive after dark. I use low power reading glasses for small print such as maps and repairing small items. Most of the time I don't need glasses.
There is no such thing as standard settings for font size or style. It is entirely a matter of personal preference.
Here are my settings:
34cm x 27cm Apple Studio Display set to millions of colours and a resolution of 1280 x 1024
Safari 'standard' font set to Geneva 14
Safari fixed width font set to Courier 14
Default encoding set to Western (ISO Latin 1)
Minimum font size set to 10
Geneva is a very old Apple font optimised for screen use. I still find it more readable than other fonts under a wide range of conditions.
I assume you know about Zoom settings to override the above:
cmd + to increase size
cmd - to decrease size
cmd 0 to return to 'normal' size
I set 'Zoom Text Only' on the view menu.
You can also create your own style sheet to obtain even more control. Here is a Google search link about these:
https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=browser+%27style+sheet%27+%27visually+impa ired%27&as_qdr=all&newwindow=1&num=100
I have written many style sheets but not for visually impaired. I am happy to assist if required.

Recording external synth/drum machine - What should the highest peak be?

Hi,
When recording the audio from an external synth/drum machine what should the highest peak be? At the moment I have been recording as loud as possible without clipping but is it better to leave a few DB of headroom if using compressors etc afterwards?
Thanks for the help.

It is good practice with all audio tracking to have it peaking at around -6. I sometimes aim for around -9 when tracking.
make sure you are recording at 24bit. Your peeks can be -18 and you wouldn't suffer too much.

Using Microsoft Exchange to access Gmail (Google Apps for Business) contacts, what is the best way to sync the Corporate Directory?

Using Microsoft Exchange to access Gmail (Google Apps for Business) contacts, what is the best way to sync the Corporate Directory? For instance, we have 40 staff members and wish to populate each phone with the Gmail profile. Right now we have a third party Android app that does this and copies my contacts to each phone. This is problematic. Any solutions to populate a phone with email and phone contacts? Even it it requires double entry for me...thats ok.

Oh, I meant Leopard does do more than Tiger Server.
I don't know enough about Server, even less abut Syncing.
SL is to new, not enough time to iron out the kinks yet imho.
One day SL will be better than Leo, but...
I'd ask over in server...
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=96
Or perhaps Collaboration Services...

They may even have a different opinion on SL.

I have receive my new ipad 2 last wek and found scratched behind.what should the steps to cliam at JB area

The iPad was sealed in the box when I got it. It had the plastic screen protector wrapped all around it and when I powered it on for the first time it displayed the "connect to iTunes for setup" message displayed. The only other thing I can think of is if the person I bought it from had ordered it through Verizon on and the iPad was set up on a number on his pre-existing verizon account. My question is should I just keep using it and consider myself lucky? Since there is no way for Verizon to charge me for the usage because I never signed a contract. I realize that if it is on the account belonging to the person I bought it from, they will eventually figure this out and shut it off. But I might as well use it in the meantime right?

To imprt full 9i to 11g what should the exp parameters

to imprt full 9i to 11g what should the exp parameters,fist time it was given error some objects r created how to
import the remaining data, it will support to importing remaining data

That would be a parameter for import only and not the export.
Use IGNORE=Y in the import command (that would prevent the object existence errors but not the data duplication errors).
