Would like to use/see extended ascii characters in...

I've got an E72 and I love it, but I would like to be able to see and use extended ascii characters. Here is an example: σ__σ . It looks like an upside-down, mirror-image capital Q on either side of the regular underline character. To get the character I use ALT-229 on my Windows keyboard. I can type this into my sms's or emails using ctrl-229, but it looks like a small "a" with a little "u" over it. It looks the same way when it gets to my Windows email, so the character is not being sent properly from my E72.
Am I just using the wrong ascii code? Help!

I did a little testing.
SMS:
when I create a text message to send to myself as a test, I can use ctrl-963 and on my original text message it looks like the lower case sigma, the character I want.
When I get the text message, the character looks like an upper case sigma (the "M" on its side).
The character is not supported at all in the regular Nokia Messaging app.
EMAIL:
When I attempt to use the character in creating a message, it just gives me a question mark character.
When I get an email with the character, again it just gives me a question mark character.
It appears that this is indeed a matter of software. I-sms will support showing me that character, but not receiving it. Profimail (the mail app I am using) doesn't support it either way.
This isn't critical. I will keep it in the back of my mind when evaluating this kind of app, and try suggesting to the programmers of both apps that supporting the extended character set would be handy, particularly in text messaging.

Please locate the model number on the side of the AirPort Express. Hard to see.....gray lettering on a white background....so you may likely need a magnifying glass and good lighting to see it.
The model number starts with a "A" followed by four numbers. If you see A1084 or A1088, unfortunately AirPort Utility 6.x in Mavericks OS X (10.9.4) does not support these older models. However, you can still administer these models if you have a Mac.....or can borrow one for a few minutes....using Leopard (10.5.x) or Snow Leopard (10.6.x), or a PC with AirPort Utility installed on the device.

I would like to use time Machine to back up to a network SMB drive. I can see the drive on my desktop but it will not show in the time machine window to be able to select it

I currently have a mini server (OSX10.8.5, server 2.2.2) that I am using Time Machine to back up 4 external drives that are connected to the server via firewire 800. I would like to use Time Machine to back up to a windows network SMB drive. I can see the drive on my desktop but it will not show in the time machine window to be able to select it for use.
Can this be done
Thanks for any and all help

The supported targets for Time Machine backups are local (direct-connected) disks, and network targets include Time Capsule, a disk hanging off the current-generation AirPort (though not earlier AirPort devices), and OS X Server systems.
The Time Machine storage is based on the HFS+ file system, so I would not expect TM to work with SMB file services.
While there are hacks to allow Time Machine to access network drives, I would not consider those to be reliable. Skim the forum and the 'net for related details, and for previous discussions of setting this up and the related issues that can arise.
Remember to test the recovery with whatever you decide to use; whole point of backups is the ability to restore the data, after all.
If you want to learn more about Time Machine, Pondini is an excellent resource.

Is there a way to transfer or copy all my apps to another iPad with a different account? I was required in my job to use the one at work, but I would like to also see my current set ups and apps as in my personal one. Thank you so much!

What I suggest is that you try to pair your apple ID with you company ipad and see if it works.
Here is why::
I believe that the Apple rules let you. They are something like:
-- for a shared iDevice, you may put the app on one device
-- for a device you use exclisively, you may put the app on five (or some number) of iDevices
I'm not lawyer, so how you interpred this is a question.
Now, you need to figure out how to do this.
In the past at least, apple used this terminalogy.
    Personal
    Institution
    Layered. combines personal & institution.
It depends on how your company has configured the iPad.
I have read where you can have upto three apple id per device.

Hi, I have got three ipad minis which I would like to use in a business environment whereby the users can see and update a single calender. Is this possible? Would they have to be run form one account?

You need to use the airport utility on a computer.
If you use v6 utility it is fairly easy and straight forward.
The trick is to place the old TC in the same room as the new one.
Do a full factory reset and then you can just go through the utility to extend wireless network.
I did one post with all the pictures.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/24161378#24161378
If you have issues just ask.
Then you can place the old TC about half way between the new TC and the clients would want to connect.. the half way point is not distance but wireless signal levels.
You can pick that up by using the wireless diagnostics in a mac laptop and walking around to pick up the signals.
This is for extend wireless.. if you want roaming network it is entirely different. That means they are plugged together with ethernet.
Tell us if you mean roaming not wireless extend.

We would like to use cyrilic language characters in ECC system with custome

We would like to use cyrilic language characters in ECC system with "customer reserve" language (Z1).
We have positive experience on one system for certain business partner in Macedonia (there is no Macedonian language to install as SAP standard) by using "customer reserve" language (Z1).
Now we are about to introduce other system with same approach. The trouble is that after entering Macedonian language on an cost center with language Z1 on first language and transfering it via idoc we get hashes("#") instead of characters on second language
What could be the reason? I suplemented with english (as on the first system where everything is ok) the "Customer reserve"(Z1) language normaly(with default settings).
On first system this was not done by me.
Should supplementation be done specificly?.(how to find settings for supplemention on first system?)
Please give me a hint

Hi,
To check supplement language go to T-code, SMLT ->Language ->Special actions->Supplementaion
you can get more information from below SDN thread.
Cyrilic char not coming properly
Below SAP help document gives you how to find supplement language & installation of languaes.

Problem convertting certain extended ascii characters

I'm having problems with the extended ascii characters in the range 128-159. I'm working with SQL server environment using java. I originally had problems with characters in the range 128-159 when I did a 'select char_col from my_table' I always get junk when I try to retreive it from the ResultSet using the code 'String str = rs.getString(1)'. For example char_col would have the ascii character (in hex) '0x83' but when I retrieved it from the database, my str equaled '0x192'. I'm aware there is a gap in the range 128-159 in ISO-8859-1 charset. I've tracked the problem to be a charset issue converting the extended ascii characters in ISO-8859-1 into java's unicode charset.
I looked on the forum and it said to try to specify the charset when I retreived it from the resultset so I did 'String str = new String(rs.getBytes(), "ISO-8859-1")' and it was able to read the characters 128-159 correctly except for five characters (129, 141, 143, 144, 157). These characters always returned the character 63 or 0x3f. Does anyone who what's happening here? How come these characters didn't work? Is there a workaround this? I need to use only use java and its default charsets and I don't want to switch to the windows Cp1252 charset cuz I'm using the java code in a unix environment as well.
thanks.

Normally your JDBC driver should understand the charset used in the database, and it should use that charset to produce a correct value for the result of getString(). However it does sometimes happen that the database is created by programs in some other language that ignore the database's charset and do their own encoding, bypassing the database's facilities. It is often difficult to deal with that problem, because the custodians of those other programs don't have a problem, everything is consistent for them, and they will not allow you to "repair" the database.
I don't mean to say that really is your problem, it is a possibility though. You are using an SQL Server JDBC driver, aren't you? Does its connection URL allow you to specify the charset? If so, try specifying that SQL-Latin1 thing and see if it works.

Contains query fails for extended ascii characters

I have an Oracle 9.2 instance whose characterset is WE8MSWIN1252. I'm using the same characterset on my client. If I have a LONG column that contains extended-ascii characters (the example I'm using has the Euro character 'â¬', but I've seen the same problem with other characters), and I'm using the Intermedia service to index that column, then this select statement returns no records even though it should find several:
select id from table1 where (contains(long_col,'â¬',1) > 0);
However, the same select statement looking for something else, like 'e', works just fine.
What am I doing wrong? I can do a "like" query against a VARCHAR2 column with a Euro character, and it works correctly. I can do a "dbms_lob.instr" query against a CLOB column with a Euro character, and it also works. It's just the "contains" query against a LONG column that fails.

There are a number of limitations in using Long datatypes. If you check the SQL Reference you will see: "Oracle Corporation strongly recommends that you convert LONG columns to LOB columns as soon as possible. Creation of new LONG columns is scheduled for desupport.
LOB columns are subject to far fewer restrictions than LONG columns. Further, LOB functionality is enhanced in every release, whereas LONG functionality has been static for several releases."

Display extended ascii characters as question mark in xml file

I am creating a XML file with encoding as UTF-8. Some tag values contain some extended ascii characters. When i run the java program to create the file in windows, the extended ascii characters are display correctly. But in linux it is displaying as ?(question mark).
i am not able to rectify this. can anyone help me....
Its urgent
Thanks in advance.

Probably the locale is not set for the shell you are running in. The default 'C' locale uses the ASCII encoding which defines only 128 characters. See if giving the commandexport LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8before starting the program fixes the issue.

Reboot, hold the option key down as soon as you hear the chime. When the Boot Manager appears select OSX instead of Windows.

Would like to use WD MyBook external SOLELY for my iPhoto library and remove it from my hard drive to clear up space. How do I do this?

I just bought a 3TB My Book that I would like to store my iPhoto library on and remove it from my hard drive completely. I am running Time Machine with another external drive as back up and would like to use Time Machine to also back up my photos that will be on my My Book external. How do I move my iPhoto library to my new external and delete it from my hard drive? The catch is that I only want this new external to be for my iPhoto. I don't want Time Machine to start backing up my entire hard drive, since I already have an external dedicated to back up. I have not attached my external yet because I am afraid it will automatically start backing up my entire hard drive. I am very experienced on a Mac but not very technical so please, no big words and THANKS MUCH in advance!!

First format the drive to OS X Extended (journaled) with ownership set to be ignored:
Next drag your iPhoto library from your Pictures folder to the EHD. When the copying is complete launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and in the window that comes up select the library on the EHD:
Check the file path under the window to make sure the correct library has been selected.
Once you've confirmed that the EHD library is working properly and has all of your photos you can delete the library in your Pictures folder.

I would like to use DDE to send data from a Lookout Server to an Excel

Hello National Instruments,
I would like to use DDE to send data from a Lookout Server to an Excel
Spreadsheet.
I have Lookout 6.1 on a server connected to 4 client workstations
The operating system on the server is Windows Server 2003 R2; Standard Edition;
Service Pack 2
I have opened DDE Share but after filing in Share Name; Static Application
Name; Static Topic Name
I get a message, "Can't bind to DSDM service"
I also get this message when I press add a Share
What are the steps to setting up this type of communications link?
Thanks,
David Lopez
Scada Functional Analyst

Ryan,
I have followed the steps on the Knowledge Base "How do I use DDE To Send Data Across the Network To Excel From Lookout?" but what I am seeing is that the computer with excel (Computer B)hangs up displaying an hour glass continuously leaving me no option but to go into task manager to stop excel. It appears to me that the dde share is not working properly on my windows xp where lookout resides or I do not have a certain service turned on. I do have the DDE services turned on both computers. I have my computer set up as computer A with Lookout and Process1 as the process with a pot set up as pot1. On my computer (Computer A) I also have the dde share set up per the KB example.
On computer B I have the dde services turned on and I am typing the following into an excel worksheet Cell ='\\TAG23232\NDDE$'|'Process1$'!Pot1
TAG 23232 is Computer A's Name
Do you have any suggestions???

Would like to use iWeb for a photography website

Hi all,
Please bear with me on this. The question I am going to raise has been asked on the forum in bits and pieces but don’t think I was able to find a comprehensive solution to it.
I currently maintain a photography website which is hosted overat my-expressions.com. Link - http://staticmemory.my-expressions.com/
I love (for the most part) how I have got my site laid out here. The problem is that the host is no longer supporting the platform and hence it means no additional storage space to buy, etc. Basically the hosting platform is going to be abandon-ware in the next few months. Hence, I have decided to build something out on my own. Have purchased a domain and currently have got it to point to my existing photo site.
My Question – Now that you guys have the context, I would like to use iWeb to replicate something similar and host the new site on my own domain. Unfortunately, I know no code but if there is something reasonable, I am willing to spend time and figure things out. I can really see how iWeb can come in handy to create the pages, etc. It’s the adding the comments piece underneath each photo and the option to purchase prints is what I am having concerns about. If you take a look at my website, you will see how one can click on the Purchase Print link right below each photo and that will provide them with options on the print size and then taket hem over to paypal. Works great in the current environment.
Any pointers on replicating the Comments and Purchase Printfunctionality in iWeb will be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
RG

BNN, even though I understand what KT is saying, your thought resonates with mine. When it comes to building and maintaining my website, I see myself more as a photographer than as a web designer. Hence, even though Apple may not be actively developing (and we are guessing on this one, arent we) iWeb, the existing functionality should do plenty of good to me for next couple years at least.
That said, they released a point update a few days back and with the whole cloud thing building momentum and mobile me going for free, why would Apple want to pull the plug on such a fantastic product?

I have paid for it and all...

You can't do anything. See:
OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
Your computer does not meet the requirements to run Mountain Lion.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
