Wanted: App to update Skyhook database

I live in a small city with almost no Skyhook coverage. It's not that big of a deal because it's not a large city and I always know where I am, but I'd still like to play with the new location-based applications that are coming out. My wish is to find an app that would let me manually locate myself on a Google map, then upload that location and the MAC address of the access point I'm connected to into Skyhook's form. I wouldn't mind mapping out the hotspots around my city if it wasn't such a pain in the neck to do it manually. Any takers?

To confirm Kirk Strauser's comment, Skyhook does indeed require the MAC address of the router. Skyhook also needed some confirmation that the person submitting the application/details (me) was somehow connected with the router. That may have changed of course.
Although System Profiler will give the MAC address of the computer, another utility (I use iStumbler) is needed to find the information that Skyhook wants.
In Google maps it is possible to come up with the coordinates required by putting this into the browser address bar:
javascript:void(prompt('',gApplication.getMap().getCenter()));
A way that I envisage might be workable to bring these separate pieces of information together is by using a script, or perhaps Automator.

  • Is there any way to stop an app from updating?  I accidently hit update all, and have an app I don't want updated.

    Is there any way to stop an app from updating? I accidently hit "update all" and have an app i don't want updated.  Thanks

    you can't reverse the process, once you accepted there is no other way, if you sync it to your itunes library in your computer it will automatically update the updated app as well.
    What you can try though is delete the app from your iPad and try syncing it to your itunes library but if you set up iCloud it may update the app automatically

    iPhone do not do automatic update. You have to manually trigger the updates.
    If your Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Automatic Downloads > Music, Apps, Books are ON then when you purchase any new content/item with any devices/computer iTunes, it will automatically download. Switch it OFF if you do not want that to happen.

  • I have apps that want to get updated but when i try to update them, the progress bar appears but also dissapeares again, the app isnt updated..

    I have apps that want to get updated but when i try to update them, the progress bar appears but also dissapeares again, the app isnt updated..
    I keep trying but i cant update the apps..

    First reboot the iPad by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the phone by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

  • HT5648 The App store wants me to update to Java 1.6.0_41 -- but I already have the latest Java 1.7 ver. downloaded from Oracle.

    How do I remove the Java 1.6.0_41 update from App Store updates list without actually installing it? I don't want to revert to an older Java than what I got from Oracle just a week ago (Java "1.7.0_11").
    PS, I thought Apple was no longer doing its own Java version anymore and that maintenance for Java for Mac was now in Oracle's hands. What gives?

    You should not ignore it as that will leave you with an unsafe version of Java SE 6 integrated into your system. If you shoud ever need to revert from Java 7 to Java 6 (which many users have found necessary for compatibility reasons) that would leave you open to attack. It's very difficult to remove Java 6 so you might as well keep it up-to-date.
    I thought Apple was no longer doing its own Java version anymore and that maintenance for Java for Mac was now in Oracle's hands. What gives?
    The agreement was that Apple would continue to update Java 6 and Oracle would take over at Java 7.  Both can exist on your computer, though in general, only one will be active at any given time.  Oracle's public support for Java 6 ends this month and without it Apple will be hard pressed to continue after that date, but we'll all just have to wait and see how that goes.

  • Unwanted App which the app store wants me to update, and I cannot delete it.

    I have an App wanting to be updated that I cannot update or remove because it was not downloaded on my account.  It has been there for over a year and it does not show up anywhere on my computer.  Why is it in my app store if it is not on my account?  Spotlight does not find it in the search. 

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
    Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
    Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
    If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

  • Problem viewing/updating MySQL-database with utf-8 charset

    System specs:
    Tomcat 5.5.4
    JDK1.5.0
    MySQL 4.1
    Connector/J 3.0.16
    JSTL 1.1
    I am trying to build a guestbook web-app, and want to be able to store swedish characters (available in latin1) and decided to give utf-8 a go since it would support other languages as well. I use a <Resource> in my context-xml to get the connection.
    This simply will not work; when I use the <%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=utf-8"%> declaration, the swedish characters in the raw html-code gets replaced by questionmarks. Select-queries output look ok though, as long as they don't contain the character '�'
    When removing the page-declaration, the queries show only questionmarks where swedish characters should be.
    The same goes for updating my database. Swedish characters get garbled.
    I have tried the following without success:
    *adding &useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8 to the Resource-url -- causes my web-app to fail loading.
    *adding a <filter> to the web-apps web.xml as suggested at  http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-09-2004/jw-0906-unicode_p.html -- caused another web-app error, resulting in it not being loaded.
    *setting the form attribute accept-charset -- resulted in no improvement.
    Right now I'm half desperate and half fed-up. Is this a common problem with MySQL? Should I use another database? Or perhaps it is the Connector/J Driver that's messing things up.
    I'll appreciate any help I get greatly.

    Hello. Maybe not so interesting after a year to try to ask did you ever get a final solution to that problem in command line perspective. OR does somebody else knows solution to this problem.
    Anyway I have similar problem, I use mysql5 with latin1 charset and I can insert to my database letters ��� normally via mysql command line and they show perfectly. But the problem is my web application.
    I can insert all characters to database and retrieve them normally via web app but if i need to use mysql command line for queries it fails because those special letters appear something like ��. I still need to make queries on mysql command line as admin. I have also tried to change different drivers like
    Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver"); or
    com.mysql.jdbc.Driver etc connector is 3.0.17
    I have also tried to change to utf-8 and then changed mysql def.enc to same... i have used request.setWHATEVER CHARSET.....i'm out of ideas... help?

  • I had to change my email for my apple account on my iPhone 4.  when I go to add an app or update an app it shows the old email.. so I can't delete apps for this to work becuz I would have to delete my apple store app and it won't let me

    I had to change my email for my apple acct on my iPhone e 4.  When I go add an app or update an app the old apple email comes up.  I can't delete an apple store app.  So how do I refresh the apple store app?

    Hi skippy2012trev,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
    If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
    Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
    Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
    Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
    Cheers,
    Joe

  • My Apple ID changed and now my apps wont update

    Recently my Apple ID was changed from chunkster92 to [email protected]  Now my apps wont update because they are looking for my original Apple ID of chunkster92.
    When I look at the info block on the apps they indicatre that they are linked to an Apple ID of chucnkster92.  Apple wont let you have tan ID thats not an email address anymore.  So when the apps are trying to update they are looking for my old account of chunkster92 and not the account name format as Apple wants now of [email protected]
    When I look at the apps page in iTunes and selct "all" apps at the top of the page, it indicates at the bottom of the page available.  When I try to update the apps the next screen says that there or no updates available.  I'm signed into iTunes as [email protected] and not chunkster92 which is the account the apps are looking for.
    Short of deleting all 230 apps (I know, I could reduce that number some) and reloading them, how do I change the apps to look for [email protected] or reestablish my old ID of chunkster92?
    many thanks,
    chunkster92

  • App store update shows I can't update an app since my Apple ID is not associated with my account on Yosemite

    App store update shows I can't update an app since my Apple ID is not associated with my account on Yosemite. How can I just force it to allow me to RE-BUY the app again since I don't even have it to update, but I want it?
    Currently, I even though I don't have the app, I am not given the option to buy, only to "update", and when I click on that it either hangs or it complains that it can't since my Apple ID is not associated with my account.

    And it was your wife's Apple ID that was used to download and install the Yosemite you are using on this computer? If so then I suggest you need to contact Apple to get his straightened out.
