  • ITunes store does not connect and then does not close help please

    OK, so pretty much whenever I try to enter the Apple store that I get a little pop-up that says it can not connect to the Itunes store, I have to check my connection and try again, but whenever I close this box it appears immediately back to the point I can not even close Itunes with having to go Task Manager and ending the process manually.  I can't use the store at all and it's just getting really frustrating, because I know my connection and everything is not fine so it is no reason for this pop up.

    is anyone else having this problem or if you have had this problem and know how to fix?

  • Unable to connect to remote oracle database!  Help, please!

    Hi all-

    I am a new user Oracle and you are allowed to access a remote Oracle database, however I have problems with the installation/configuration program! I downloaded the driver Oracle and the Instant Client (11.2.0.2.0) because I need to use Microsoft Access for the data access (the Access database is already configured to the correct Oracle database). I'm under the impression that, to do this, I need to be able to use the ODBC Administrator to get all set up. Note: Im working on Windows XP.

    I have questions:

    -I don't seem to have installed Netca (which seems to be the recommended method to configure a connection). I have manually adjusted the TNSNAMES file. ORA file so it matches the database, but I'm not sure what would be my next step.

    -When I open SqlPlus it wants a username and password, and I tried the default settings and got an error each time. I must first use SqlPlus, or establish a connection via ODBC first?

    -Also: ODBC requires a TNS Service name, and I'm not sure, where this is established; something that would give the database manager?

    I really just do not know how to configure this remote connection! I continue to run with obstacles and really want a reference "step by step" on the way to do it, if there is such a thing. Any help or additional reference material would be appreciated! I ran by the content of the forum, but have not been able to decode the jargon! Thank you very much in advance.

    Hi Ed-

    I use the Oracle's ODBC driver. I think there may be a problem with the TNSnames file because I tried to add this file as a"Data Source", and he also said that a connection could not be established. What do you mean by the MS implemented? A configuration of Data Source?

    By MS implemented, I was referring to the MS ODBC for Oracle driver, against the Oracle ODBC for Oracle driver.

    The "source of data file' has nothing to do with the tnsnames file. The ODBC Manager retains its DSN definitions in one of three places. "User DSN" is stored in the HKEY_LOCAL_USER registry, the "System DSN" definitions are stored in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry and 'FILE DSN"definitions is stored in a file... I don't remember exactly where or what it's name is as I have (when he is forced to deal with odbc) just keep things simple and use "system dsn". But these aren't all the definitions of ODBC, Oracle tnsnames file.

    The link between the ODBC DSN and the tnsnames.ora presents itself as a property of the ODBC definition. Suppose you have this for a tnsnames.ora entry:

    houston =
      (DESCRIPTION =
        (ADDRESS_LIST =
          (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = vmlnx01)(PORT = 1521))
        )
        (CONNECT_DATA =
          (SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
        )
      )
    

    Then
    -When you set up your odbc dsn, if you use the MS for Oracle driver, you must specify 'houston' as the 'server '.
    -When you set up your odbc dsn, if you use the Oracle odbc driver, you must specify "houston" as "the TNS Service name".

    >

    Im going to try to post a modified version of the content of my TNSnames.ora file (for some reason any the "content is not allowed ' by the forum), but I would like to get some comments on whether the structure of the content may be the problem.

  • Unable to connect to the selected Mobile Data Service, please try again later.

    Dear all,

    I downloaded Blackberry email and MDS Services 4.1.4 and the Blackberry 9630 Simulator Simulator. I'm testing a blackberry asp.net application I have running on a test server using the blackberry Simulator.

    I have windows XP box. When I try to run the SDM Service, it runs without error, but acquire it on the site - http://www.blackberry.com/go/mobile - error saying above message - unable to connect to the selected Mobile Data Service, please try again later. How can I solve this problem, I tried to use full qualified names in the config file.

    Any ideas?

    NAV.

    Hi Nav, thanks for your message.

    When you use the BlackBerry 9630 Smartphone Simulator, you may need to change its default connection settings in order to provide network connectivity.  The reason why because the 9630, being a world phone, supports different types of network technologies and a configuration change may be needed to make it work with the MDS Simulator - CS.

    1. from the home screen, click the 'manage connections '.

    2. a popup window opens, select "Mobile Network Options '.

    3. in the options screen, ensure that the following field values are defined:

    • Data services = 'On '.
    • Network selection mode = "auto".
    • Technology network = "1XEV".

    4. close the 'mobile network options' screen to save the changes

    9630 smartphone Simulator should now have network connectivity.

    Sincerely,

    Adam

  • How good my connection to video call?

    Hello

    I have a bad internet connection because of high costs and other things, anyway...

    Is this enough for a good video call?

    It's the same connection that uses the other party

    I don't think you can expect good quality with these specifications of Internet video calls. Especially the very low download speed is the limiting factor.

  • Unable to connect wireless, error - could not connect to the internet

    Original Title - connect wirerlessly

    I can't connect to the internet via my wireless router? When I check the availability of networks, the signal is as strong as it gets. However, as soon as I log in, the force goes to far and he says: "Unable to connect to the internet" the distance between the router and (computer) is from 25' to 30'. Any help be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

    Hello

    As a first step put the computer near the router and start with the security off the coast.
    When it works, take it back to the final spot. If it stops then working, then you have a problem of distance.

    Hi rozhanna,

    Try the steps mentioned in the link below and check if it works.
    https://support.Skype.com/FAQ/FA1267/I-set-up-video-but-it-doesn-t-work-what-s-wrong;JSESSIONID=E310AA4573FA528DA93B9439C47A1799? FromPage = Category

    It is also possible that some third party software installed on the computer are in conflict with the video call in Skype software.
    You can check if it works very well in a clean boot state.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

    Reset the computer to start as usual

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:
    Click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click continue.
    On the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.
    When you are prompted to restart the computer, click restart.

    If the previous step fails, you can try posting your question in the forums of Skype and check.
