Very Strange Bluetooth Problem

Hi There
My mac seems to have developed a very strange bluetooth problem. When i try to connect my mighty mouse, it 'connects' then a couple seconds later disconnects, then connects and disconnects etc. during the time that it is apparently connected, the LED on the bottom of the mouse keeps flashing in the way it does when it's searching for a connection, which tells me it ain't connected at all.
Thinking this was just a mighty mouse problem i try connect my iPhone, same problem. This time I do it with the bluetooth preferences open i notice that the status of the iPhone connection has gone funny (like it has not connected on top of the word connected in the status, one atop the other) this weirdness happens irrespective of what you connect, and only to the iPhone status, even if it's bluetooth is off.
This weird status thing has happened before, when i was messing about with bluetooth tethering on my iPhone. So, naturally, i assume the iPhone's buggered up the system somehow. I remove it from the list of paired things and try the mouse again, no luck. I try to re add the mouse, but the pairing process doesn't complete itself before the mouse drops signal again. I can't re-pair my iPhone either for the same reason.
how can i fix this?
Cheers, Joe

Hey there,
Navigate to HD > Users > Your Account > Library > Preferences.
Locate, and move to the Trash, this file com.apple.Bluetooth.plist.
If still no luck, try zapping the PRAM to see if that helps. Instructions on how to do that can be found [HERE|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379].

Very strange Bluetooth problem on my 6680

If someone would have told me that my phone was a living sentient device I would have laughed at them... until now...
My partner has a N70 which she uses with a Sony Ericsson HBH-300 headset. To say the two are incompatible is an understatement but thats a separate issue. In order to eliminate her phone as the cause of her problems I paired the HBH-300 with my 6680. The problems she was having I now had.. so all well and good.. its the headset thats the issue.. so I deleted the HBH-300 device from my phone.. or so I though.. now ,when we are together,she tries to connect her HBH-300 to her phone but it tried to connect itself to mine! Its not on my device list.... anyone else come across anything like this ?

It may be that the phone/wife has renamed the Bluetooth connection for your phone to that of the Headset.
Suggestion:
1. Tell wife to delete all bluetooth paired devices from phone.
2. Disable bluetooth on your phone
3. Power up headset and get wife to connect and set as authorised when paired
Hopefully that should sort the problem out.

Very Strange Internet Problems

I own a MacBook Pro 15.4 Inch that I purchased about a year and a half ago. I recently upgraded to Leopard and have all the latest updates. I am from the US, and when I am home my internet works fine. However, I am on travel to Seoul, South Korea right now and am having a very strange internet problem.
As far as I can tell, the URLs that I type in to my browser are, sparodially, not translated correctly into the webpages that they are supposed to represent. This problem is probably effective 75% of the time, and the rest of the time my internet works roughly correctly. For instance, when I enter http://www.google.com, instead of being taken to the Google homepage, I am taking to the homepage of Jammin Beats DJ Service, an obscure website about a company in northern Pennsylvania. The actual URL of this website is http://www.jamminbeats.com, but when my internet is malfunctioning, 'jamminbeats' is for all intensive purposes replaced by 'google' (that is, it applies not only to the main page, but to sub pages, so "http://www.google.com/weddings" takes you to "http://www.jamminbeats.com/weddings" and etc). For most other webpages, one of two things happens. Either I am taken to the correct page but it is displayed without any images or frames (just the html text and links), or I am taken to a blank page with the header "Under Construction", which I assume is the default for a page that doesn't exist. This is why it seems as though the URLs are simply being interpretted erroneously.
This problem occurs when connecting both to the wireless and the wired internet at my hotel, and it occurs on both Safari and Firefox, so it is not a connection-specific or browser-specific problem. It may be a problem with the hotel's internet, and as of yet I have not had a chance to test the computer at another location. However, a colleague using an IBM computer has had no problems, and I am currently on a Samsung machine in the business center of the hotel and it is working correctly as well. I have searched extensively online for a similar problem but have come up empty handed, and more than anything, I am confused about what might be causing this problem. The strangest thing is that a fraction of the time, the internet functions normally, but it is usually roughly 15 minutes out of every hour, and eventually I am inevitably taken back to Jammin Beats.
I am a computer science graduate but I still have no idea what would cause this problem. At first I thought it might be a hacker, but if it is, he or she has been at it consistently for 3 days now, and only seems to be targeting my computer. Any ideas or solutions would be greatly appreciated, as I have been forced to resort to the hotel's business center for checking email, doing work, etc. Thanks in advance.

I did consider that, as I was in Beijing last week and there are a number of censored sites. However, in Korea I have had problems with very basic sites like facebook, wall street journal, google, yahoo, Korean google, my hotel's webpage, etc. Further, I have successfully gotten all of these sites to load seemingly at random, and can access them without problems on other computers. The only disconnect seems to be between my MBP and the internet, not between Korean internet and the web. I have toyed around with the network settings, and although sometimes after switching from "Automatic" to a fixed connection I get some sites to work, it usually only lasts a short time and eventually the same sites stop working. I reset my cache regularly to make sure I'm not getting sent to cached sites, but this also doesn't help. Further, my Apple Mail, Skype and AIM accounts jump between being connected and disconnected randomly as well. Again, this is isolated to my own computer, which is why I'm so confused.

Very strange power problem...

Hey guys (and girls ofcourse),
I'm having a very strange power problem with my late 2007 2.2Ghz santa rosa macbook.
Can you guys help me determine what the problem could be?
Here's what happened prior, when the macbook was still working. I got home from work, plugged my adapter into the wall, and it started charging. I left it on the table, and when I came back from the diner table I continued working, but suddenly noticed my macbook wasn't charging anymore. (the orange/green led wasn't lighting up but i was able to work on battery power)
I thought it was the poweradapter, so I went to the apple store the next day to lend one to test it. That didn't work, so it's not the adapter.
So then I started thinking it must be the magnetic DC connector. So I ordered that from the guys at ifixit, (since it's out of warranty) but I replaced it and it's not working.
I don't think it's the logic board, because I was able to continue working until I ran out of battery power. And I also don't think it's the battery connector, because if i'm not mistaking, the macbook can run without battery as well, but mine can't anymore.
Now I can't get any life out of my mac anymore...
Might there be something I overlooked?
Any suggestions are definately welcome!
Thanks a lot.
Timo from Belgium.

Hi Timo,
I think i have the same problem, my mac is not working without battery in it. and it wont charge it.
i wrote a post here http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2105648&tstart=0
let me know if you have fixed the problem
thanks

Very Strange Focus problem

I've encountered a very strange focus problem that I hope someone can help me
with. In my frame, I have a toolbar and some JTextFields. When I press one of
the toolbar buttons, I do whatever and at the very end I use requestFocusInWindow()
to set the focus to one of the JTextFields. Now here's the strange part. If I don't
touch the keyboard or the mouse, I can see the caret in the JTextField as expected.
As soon as I move the mouse or touch any key, the focus changes to the next
toolbar button. Makes no sense to me. By the way, I'm running 1.4 on Windows NT.

Create a new class ToolbarButton extends JButton where you have the following method:
     * Identifies whether or not this component can receive the focus.
     * A disabled button, for example, would return false.
     * @return true if this component can receive the focus
    public boolean isFocusTraversable() {
       return false;
    }This prevents the buttons from getting keyboard focus, this makes only sense for toolbar buttons.
Cheers,
Taoufik

Very strange MRP Problem

HI ALL
I am having a very strange mrp problem and that is
I created a material with all mrp1and mrp2 requirement,created the info record and source list for that material.I created a reservation for that material which in turn created the deficiency when I did the MD04.I run the MD03,as per re-order point and fix lot size two Preqs created( vendor was not shown in the Preqs even though I established the source list for the material?).I change these Preqs into PurOrds and did the Gr.Every thing fine till here all changes happened in material requirement list(MD04).Now I did one more reservation and created the deficiency again and run MD03 again with a message that mrp done but this time when I went back and checked MD04, there is no Preqs shown and deficiency remained same as was before. I did the same exercise on several material and every time I am having the same problem as the 2nd time the Preqs don't show in MD04. Please help me as I check upto my knowledge but unable to resolve this one.

what is the control parameter of the MRP run that you select.

Need your help with very strange Oracle problem..

hello,
At our office we have an oracle 10g database (don't have exact version on hand) installation that stores data for many of our applications. We are having a very strange, intermittent issue that is causing us lots of headaches lately.
The problem is, the database will be running fine, humming along, with clients connected to it, from different hosts, different networks, and using different technologies (PERL DBI::DBD, OJDBC, etc). Every so often (at intermittent intervals, no real patterns we can discern), it seems as though the database will just hang and not respond to requests for a few seconds. Outages have ranged from 1,2,3 seconds to sometimes 20,30,40 seconds (very rarely longer than 5-10 seconds though).
Over the last few weeks, we've done lots of work to try and rule the network out of the equation. Today, a java client i wrote that was running locally on the database host, connected via OJDBC timed out (my timeout was set to 5 seconds) running a simple query ("select sysdate from dual") at the same time as all our other remote clients.
I'm really not sure where else to look at this point. Our DBA department says they see no errors in the database, no indication of problems anywhere. We've ruled out our backend applications and the network at this point. The java test client i wrote was running from about 5 different clients, dispersed through many different networks. They all timed out at the same time as other network clients that run via perl's dbi/dbd framework.
Can anyone suggest what would be a possible cause for this? How could it be possible that network clients issuing "select sysdate from dual" would hang for over 5 seconds?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions you can offer.

I am hoping you are not in a situation where your DBA said there's nothing wrong with database, your network admin said networking issue ruled out, your system admin said OS is normal. Yet, you as end user suffer and end up trying to figure out the issue by yourself while you didn't have expertise in any of these fields.That's basically the situation we were in for a few months here. It was, to say the least, extremely frustrating. Since we wrote the applications that were suffering the most due to this db/hardware issue, naturally, we felt "responsible" for taking the ownership to track down and fix the issue (after some perseverance ,we were finally able to narrow this problem down to a database storage issue).
After exhausting every other dba theory about DBI/JDBC/Firewalls/Networks/etc, we simply just failed over our database to some standby hardware that had some directly attached storage (as opposed to a SAN configuration like our primary db instance runs off of), and the problem has basically disappeared at this point. It's been about two weeks now. Whereas we normally see a handful of episodes a day, now we see none.
Our system administrators are looking into our SAN now and working to optimize its performance.
Hopefully this will put this mystery to bed. It's been a long year+ chasing this problem down and I'm glad to see it licked finally. Thank you all for your input. I've learned quite a bit about Oracle in the process and I sincerely hope our DBA team here has learned something valuable from this exercise too.

Very strange SQL problem

Hellou everybody,
I have very strange problem and I don't understand WHY.
when i run this query:
SELECT regexp_instr(nvl(trim('LDAPexport_20150429'), '^.*$'),'^\^[0-9]{2,2}_[A-9]{1,1}[A-9]{1,4}/') FROM dual; --ERROR
I always getting this error: ORA-12728 - invalid range in regular expression
but when I run this:
SELECT regexp_instr(nvl(TRIM('LDAPexport_20150429'), '^.*$'), '^\^[0-9]{2,2}_[A-Z0-9]{1,1}[A-Z0-9]{1,4}/') FROM dual -IT WORKS
My client version is: 11.2.0.1.0
DB version:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.3.0 - Production
"CORE 11.2.0.3.0 Production"
TNS for Linux: Version 11.2.0.3.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.3.0 - Production
Please can somebody tell me what is the problem? Because I found this issue in production code and my collegues can run it.
Thank YOU

and i have created one transient field Static_cr_limit where i set default value using SQL option- which comes from another table. Can you tell us the expression you used to default this field. Also a little more details or a similified use case as ADF7 mentioned would help.

A very strange synchronization problem

Hi Everybody,
I would like to get some help regarding a strange synchronization problem that I have found. I have created a java server application and after a lot of testing I have found the following problem:
A certain thread (Thread-A) is stuck forever on a synchornized (objX) line, whereas another thread (Thread-B) every 30 seconds performs a section which is protected by the same synchornized (objX) line.
It seems that the objX is not held by any thread, but Thread-A is stuck forever.
The BUG is reproducible after the server runs about 1 day.
The server is running on Linux machine (Red Hat 7.3) with JVM 1.4 (Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1_01-b01)).
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks In Advance,
Idan Zach

This is not a starvation problem since Thread-B performs its job every 30 seconds. The job is very short (I have added log messages before Thread-B starts its job and after it completes the job).
However, the priority of both threads are the same.
Thanks In Advance,
Idan Zach

Very strange Arch Problem

I have a very strange problem with Arch. I know the title isn't very descriptive, but i don't have a quick, short way to say this:
I love Arch. I use it as a "secondary OS" and other than the times when i'm playing with other distros to see how they've changed, i'm in Arch on my devel system and a few others....However, i still use Debian (Testing) as my desktop/laptop/primary PC OS. For the longest time (probably well over a year), i could not figure out why i could not bring myself to use Arch as my primary OS.
About 2 days ago, i finally had a epiphany (Well...someone smacked me with a CD-R containing the source for the Epiphany Browser, but that's besides the point). The reason i can't use Arch as a primary desktop is because in Arch, i'm too tempted to play with stuff, play with new apps, break stuff, etc and like most people (probably), on my main Desktop, i want stuff to work...I don't want to be breaking things on a weekly basis.
I was wondering if anyone else has this problem or if people could give me some advice as to how to get over it or something.

Maybe someone somewhere should create some sort of "Arch Linux updaters anonymous". "Hi, my name is jdhore and I update my system daily" (others reply:) "Hi jdhore..".
All joking aside, come on, admit it, you don't actually have a problem, you just wanted some Arch Linux community love -- nothing wrong with that, mind you -- it's why I'm here too. "I'm afraid to buy a car because I might be tempted to drive it off a cliff." .. you'd have to have some *serious* problems in order for stuff like that to be credible.
Don't want to break stuff: then don't. Just keep telling yourself that the cake is a lie.
dude...That's exactly why i don't have a car...

Very strange screen problem (previous app leaves mark)

I'm Danielle, i'm from the Netherlands and i'm having a very strange problem with my iPad mini (bought It August 2013).
never had problems with my iPad, but since a few weeks i have à strange problem with my screen.
when i open an app, for example messages, and i use it for a while, and then return to the home screen or go to another app,the messages app leaves a mark o'n the screen at the left side of my screen (an area of 2 cm from the Side). my english is not very good but im trying to describe it.
I cant make a print screen of iT because its a problem with the screen So you dont see iT on a print screen.
so:
- i see a mark of THE previous screen(app) on my screen
- first i throught iT was: in dutch we call it doorgebrand, translated in english: burn through (dont know if i translated it right). Like a old computer when you are working at a screen for to long so letters and text are printed, permanently, on the Screen (Thats why you have screen savers).
- but: it disapears in a few minutes or if i open a black screen.
- It's not very clear to see (The longer i used the app, The clearer the Mark) and iT has horizontal stripes
i hope someone has experience with this problem or knows what i have to do.
i never heard of this problem before and i cant Find iT on Google.
kind regards,
danielle from the netherlands

A workaround is to turn the brightness down, it may reduce the 'burn in' less & makes it less noticeable.
You should get in contact with Apple ASAP if you consider it bad enough to need repair, it should have a 1 year warranty. I suspect it is considered just to be how it behaves.

Very Strange Mailbox problem

./imsimta version
Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 6.1 (built Apr 28 2004)
libimta.so 6.1 (built 12:38:06, Apr 28 2004)
SunOS mail.abc.com 5.9 Generic_112234-03 i86pc i386 i86pc
I faced very strange problem last week regarding the mailbox. I have doubt that must be bug in that release. Previously we were using a single box for multiple domain hosted on it so mailboxes were created like user/[email protected]/INBOX expect the mail boxes for user domain matched with hostname domain. Then we separated one of our domain and mail server was created with hostname like mail.abc.com. All application and services was installed successfully and schema 2 was created at LDAP, as I was migration the users so user�s mail boxes must be migrated as well. Default user mailboxes was created on new box as user/uid/INBOX as domain part was missing so I put all the old mailboxes on the same partition where the default one was created and I manually copy over the contents from old one to new one and run ./reconstruct -m command so users wre eable to see all of their pervious mail and folders. Every thing went fine and well later I issue the ./mboxutil �o to get the orphan mailboxes; output gave me all mail boxes which have @domain part. So I create the file from that list and issue the command ./mboxutil �d �f filename. Oh no! Then seriuos problem occurs as the default mailboxes /usr/uid/INBOX deleted as well and technically they should not be because they were not present in the list. Then I create the mailboxes manually or some was created on reception of mail and I notice the user/[email protected]/INBOX is created as well associated to each user.
So real question is if user/[email protected]/INBOX is linked with default usr/uid/INBOX then why ./mboxutil �o is giving these mailboxes as orphan in the list, if they are not link or associated then why they are created automatically while the new mail boxes created manually or reception of mail.
I will appreciate if any body can help me with these question based on scenario presented above.

Youve found a bug with mboxutil -o
I would have suggested following a different path to achieve your goal.
I would have suggested using imsbackup to capture the existing mailboxes you wanted to move, and imsrestore to populate the new server.
the two mailboxes are NOT linked, other than mboxutil is confused.
by running reconstruct -m, you entered them both into the database. I think this was a bad idea.
If you were going to manually manipulate mailbox files, I would have removed the old uid@domain mailboxes before running the reconstruct -m
I would have also run reconstruct -r afterwards. If you had done these, you would not have seen the problem at all.

Very very strange backflush problem during CO11N?????

Hi Experts,
I find a strange backflush problem during production order confirmation by CO11N,described as follows:
When I create a production order for material A ,total order quantity is 2,means to produce 2 material A. For produce 2 material A, we need 10 material B.That means in the component view of this produciton order ,there is item material B, and the requirement quantity is 10.
After release the production order,when doing order confirmation by CO11N,I enter 1 for material A in the "Yield to Be Confirmed" ,that means to confirm 1 material A and having done a partial confirmation (Beacause the production order quantity for A is 2) .Because 2 material A need 10 material B,so the system will post goods movement for 5 material B.
After that ,confirm 1 material A, I change the production order,change the requirement quantity of material B from 10 to 5,and the quantity withdrawn of B is aslo 5 because backflush of confirmation 1 material A.
And after changing the production order ,when again doing order confirmation by CO11N,I aslo enter 1 for material A in the "Yield to Be Confirmed" ,that means to confirm 1(the last material A to be produced) material A.But because I have already change the BOM of produciton order,2 material A only need 5 material B now,and the quantity withdrawn of B is 5 now.So I think the system should not backflush material B      by this order confirmation.
But the system aslo backflush material B by this order confirmation,and the backflush quantity is 3 ,not 5,that means system automatic post 3 material B goods movement.
Very strange, I don't undrestand why?
I don't konw why system still automatic post goods movement backflush although I have changed the requirement quantity of one material and the Quantity withdrawn is equal to the requirement quantity?
What is the automatic goods movement logic by production order confiramtion ,especially the backflush quantity logic?
I aslo want to konw how I can set the backflush component quantity when doing order confirmation by CO11N in customzing through IMG？
Where can I customzing backflush quantity in IMG?

duffymo's right (but a little terse in explaining).
Your "urgent problem" is that your SQL query is unorderd. However duffymo is also pointing out that a little additionaly work can make your code be more standard and work better/faster.
Instead of doing what you're doing (bouncing to the end of the result set end, getting the number of messages, then walking through the result set backwards), retrieve the data in the order you want to display, using an "ORDER BY x" or "ORDER BY x DESC" clause. Use rs.next() to walk through the records and count them as you do so.
no_of_mail = 0;
while (rs.next())
   no_of_mail = no_of_mail + 1;
    // process here.
}Many drivers and DBs are designed to be much much more efficient when ResultSets are accessed "in order"; since that's the normal case, that's what is optimized the most.

TWIST: Strange Bluetooth Problem

This doesn't make sense to me. When the system is started from a completely powered off state, the bluetooth radio doesn't turn on and no devices will pair. The bluetooth icon in the taskbar is missing. I tried to manually turn it on but Windows won't let me (in the Wireless section of "Change PC Settings", the Bluetooth option is grayed out).
If I restart the system (from the powered on state), the radio turns on and everything works fine.The bluetooth icon in the task bar is visible and my devices will pair.
My wireless radio always works regardless of how I start the system. It has never failed through all of this wierdness.
I have the Intel Centrino version of the twist (i5, 128GB SSD) with the latest driver and the latest bios version. I tried re-installing the bluetooth drivers but I get the same results.
HISTORY: From day one, I never had any bluetooth or wireless problems. Last week the system was crashing with the error DRIVER POWER STATE FAILURE. After a few of those I checked for updates and installed everything available to me (a bios update and a few other things but no actual drivers). After the updates, the bluetooth problem occurred. However, it's been a few days and I haven't had the Power State Failure crash.
I ran Lenovo's hardware scan and there are no problems with any devices.
Anyone have ideas what could be wrong?

I have been on the phone to Lenovo support. They say it has to do with power management, not all services restoring when PC is turned on. They asked me to,click the start button, run, enter compmgmt.msc, This opens a window to Computer Management. Now open device manager, expand Bluetooth, right click Broardcom Bluetooth 4.0, properties, power management tab, uncheck 'allow the computer to turn off this device to save power". I did all this and it made no difference on my PC. He then went on to say there is another way but it will add 10 seconds to the startup time of my PC which I am not willing to do. So things remain the same until I find a better solution. Has any one else had any luck with this annoying problem? Now I never shutdown my laptop, I just close the lid. Bluetooth starts again when the lid is opened.

I have got a strange bluetooth problem: Sometimes it's 4.0 LE, sometimes not

Sorry for my bad english, I will try my best.
In our house there are my MacBook Pro Mid 2012 and an iMac early 2008. Both with the actual OS X. There are no problems with the iMac.
I have got problems with bluetooth since updating to yosemite on the MacBook, just like other people here. Nothing helped, no resetting, no deleting any DUN or PAN. I am using now may old usb-keyboard and a trackball mouse with usb cable. The other devices (external bluetooth keyboard from apple and the apple external trackpad) won't connect safely and constantly via bluetooth. The external bluetooth speakers had the same problem. Just every bluetooth thing, iphone 6 plus too.
I am looking for solutions, but nothing helped me. So I resigned.
Two days ago I wanted to install the app "near lock" on my iphone. This will unlock the MacBook pro, when I come near it. For this I had to install an app on the mac too, but the app said, that my Macbook aren't have Bluetooth LE - so the app won't installed.
After 24h later I've tried it again (don't know why...hmmm), and on that day I was able to install it. Everything fine. Suddenly the Macbook had Bluetooth LE.
Yeah strange enough. Today it happened again. I made two screenshots, from the same MacBook. Only minutes between the shots.
No Bluetooth LE.
Surprise.
I am no technical Pro, so I do not understand this.
There is a point to state: At the time of the first screenshot my macbook was closed and stood in the twelve book stand with an external monitor. The second screenshot was taken with an open MacBook using the internal keyboard.
Does this make any sense?
I would be happy for some help.
Thanks
Thomas

Couple of days ago, this also happened to me, I'm using MacID though. (attached is the dropdown menu for bluetooth on my mac). I'm using a MacBook as well, so obviously the chip is available, I visit to booting in safe mode and restarting solved the problem, hasn't happened again...yet. And, no, bluetooth is supposed to work in clamshell mode. Just so you(and everyone else) know, you're not the only one.
