HELP. How do I lock a line to a shape so it will auto extend when dragging the shape?
How do I lock a line to a shape so it will auto extend when dragging the shape? I cant figure out how to turn this feature on and off.
Edit: JET got there first but I believe your problem is not as complex as he would have you believe :-)
Complex? What is simpler for the user than being able to connect pre-shaped text frames (not limited to Illustrator's silly Convert To Shape options) with rules, and then be able to move the text frames and have the rules auto-adjust (automatically avoiding other objects, automatically reshaping right-angle bends, etc. etc,) accordingly. What's "complex" about drawing a flowchart?
One can properly construct a dozen such diagrams in a program that provides proper connector lines in the time it takes to fuss and twiddle with Illustrator for such a simple task. FreeHand, Draw, Canvas, Visio all provide connector lines features.
The diagramming features in the draw module of Open Office is as good as any of them for the purpose of mundane decision tree diagrams, org charts, and flowcharts; and OpenOffice can be had for free. The same is true of Inkscape. You can download and install either one in less time than it will take to build a single typical such diagram in Illustrator. Using such tools is vastly more intuitive for a beginner than futzing about with Illustrator's "direct selection" routines.

How can i know which index will be used when executing the query ?
1 ) I have query in which i have 3-4 tables but there multiple index on one column .
so how can i know which index will be used when executing the query ?
2) I have a query which ia taking too much time . how can i know which table is taking too much time ?
3) Please Provide me some document of EXplain plan ?Hi Jimmy,
Consider the below example
/* Formatted on 2011/02/04 21:59 (Formatter Plus v4.8.8) */
CREATE TABLE FIRST AS
SELECT * FROM all_objects;
UPDATE FIRST
SET object_name = 'TEST'
WHERE owner != 'SCOTT';
CREATE INDEX idx_first ON FIRST(object_name);
SELECT *
FROM FIRST
WHERE object_name = 'TEST';
It has not used index
Execution Plan
Plan hash value: 2265626682
| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time |
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 58678 | 7334K| 163 (4)| 00:00:02 |
|* 1 | TABLE ACCESS FULL| FIRST | 58678 | 7334K| 163 (4)| 00:00:02 |
/* Formatted on 2011/02/04 21:59 (Formatter Plus v4.8.8) */
SELECT *
FROM FIRST
WHERE object_name = 'emp';
This has used the index
Execution Plan
Plan hash value: 1184810458
| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time |
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 1 | 128 | 1 (0)| 00:00:01 |
| 1 | TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID| FIRST | 1 | 128 | 1 (0)| 00:00:01 |
|* 2 | INDEX RANGE SCAN | IDX_FIRST | 1 | | 1 (0)| 00:00:01 |
From this we can come to the conclusion that, whether to use one index or not by oracle
would also depend on the data which is present in the table. This has to be this way as
we see in the bind peeking, if oracle sticks to only one plan, say only use the full table
scan, it would be a performance hit when it searches for the second query ie where object_name
='emp';
2.
If we have a query like below.
select * from emp
where upper(ename) = upper(:p_ename);
Evenif we have the index on ename column, oracle wouldn't be able to use the index, as there is a function in the predicate column. If you need oracle to use the index, we need to create a function based index as below.
Create index idx_ename on emp(upper(ename));

My iPhone 4S can't support camera 360 apps.Once I open the apps 3 sec it will auto jump out to the home page.Look likes the apps crashed.Isn't my iPhone problem or the apps got bug?Please help me.TQ
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss) -
It would seem (to me) this should not be an issue, but I have an iMac and MacBook Air with the identical version of OS (10.7.4) and Keynote ('09 5.1.1). Yet, the fonts don't match. Fonts I would regularly use when developing the presentation on the iMac do not transfer (create "Review" errors) to the Air. How can I fix it so that all the fonts on iMac show on Air?
If I am understanding your question correctly what you are wanting to achieve is not possible. You can't run the same keynote presentation on both devices at the same time. Also, why would you want to use the small screen size of the iPhone as your display instead of the iPad? If it is just to see your presenter notes then print them out and use the iPhone as your remote.
Perhaps more info is needed so i fully understand your issue. -
How do I remove or delete files and image files within a document foler? I have tried dragging the files to the trash, but that is not working.
Right-click (or ctrl-click) on a file. If the "move to Trash" option is greyed out, select "get info" and read the permissions at the bottom of the info window.
Wat are they?
Do the same for the enclosing folder - what permissions does that have? -
How can I lock a table so that a person can only enter data, not manipulate the table?
I don't want to Lock the table as Numbers does it so perhaps locking is the wrong term. What I want to do is to lock the formatting of the table so it is possible to enter data but not possible to change the position, number of columns etc. I've been searching and all I can come up with is the regular lock function. But I still want to be able to use the cells. Just not change formatting.
Thanks, Bradyou cannot. When you lock a table the whole table is locked. I would consider segmenting the user input into a seprate, un-locked table and placing the calculations in a locked table

How can I lock in (or pin) text box so it will scroll text within frame?
Stuck. Thanks
Hi

I have a form containing a text field. Can I place instruction text in a text field so that after the end user can see the grayed out instructions?
What I would like is when he clicks in the field to type text, the instruction text goes away; it is no longer seen or printed.
Right now I have a tool tip; however I believe the instruction text would be of more value to the end user.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can do this?
Can it be done?
Thanks,
DianeHi Diane,
You can do this by setting a null pattern for the textfield (see the Patterns dialog in the Object > Field palette). There is an example here, have a look at the objects to the right on page 2: http://www.assuredynamics.com/?portfolio=laying-out-form-objects.
There is script that changes the font style depending on the value of the field.
There is another example here: http://www.assuredynamics.com/?portfolio=scripting-a-null-display-pattern-for-a-dropdown
Hope that helps,

Unable to install Netgear XE102 on my iMac. Checked Netgear website and could not find a setup.exe file for Mac.
That means either no software needs to be installed on a Mac or the product is incompatible with Macs. Contact NetGear tech support for help.

I'd like to inc;lude grahics in my help files when authoring them in xml and converting them to Responsive HTML5 web documents. I'm not sure of the proper way to inc;lude javascript scripts into the XML documents that could be used to make the images zoomable and panable. Codeblock elements don't seem to work - all that happens is the text of the script is displayed in a font different from the font I'm using for the Help text. Maybe I'm using the wrong elements? I'm using Framemaker 12. Any ideas here would be greatly appreciated.
Anyone? Im also frustrated about this

Is this a deeply-buried function, or does it not exist as an option in the latest version of iTunes? Or am I missing something obvious and easy?
Hey HalSF,
iTunes allows you to sync music with your devices in several different ways, including by playlist. See the iPhone user manual for how to -
manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
Specifically page 19.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Be well,

My email screen will not respond to any touch - it's frozen one email. I can't delete it or move to another email.
How can I get the email to respond?
jdymonTry a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!

i am having problems watching videos. it freezes when i watch you tube or netflix. the audio will work but the video only works if i move my mouse . how do i fix this
You are missing two plugins required to achieve your goal. Download [http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/ Adobe Shockwave for Director] and download [http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/ Apple Quicktime] You need the latter plugin to support Shockwave.
Similarly, you can watch youtube in HTML5 now instead of Flash. All you need to do is to sign up to the HTML5 trial by clicking the link at the foot of this page: [http://www.youtube.com/html5 HTML5 Trial Signup] You don't have to fill in any forms.
But please check your plugins at [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] site. Some of the others might be out of date. -
I save a lot of files to "save for web". After saving PS asks if I want to save changes to the original file. I never want to save the changes to the original. Since the default is to change the file I am afraid I will accidentally OK the change without wanting to. I would like it to stop asking and just not save it. Is there a way?

Then don't work on the original open the file using Photoshop menu file>open once its in Photoshop as a document dupe the document and close the original document. Photoshop will just close the original and not ask it you want to save the original document for no changes were made to it. You could easily record an action to automate this process. The first step in the action would be an inserted menu item menu File>Open. The second step Duplicate Document, third step select previous document the fourth and final step close. The action would look like this recorded Work in the dupe and save it under the name you want to where you want it saved. The First step is an interactive you will be able to open any file Photoshop has support for that you have access to. -
How do I find out if my 'non apple' paid apps will stop working when I upgrade to iOS 5?
I have downloaded apps from both apple and other developers.
I have paid for some of these apps.
Since there are numerous apps that I use, is there a generic way to know for sure on whether the apps will still work when I upgrade to iOS5?Unless the problem was caused by abuse or other accidental damage, Apple will exchange your in-warranty iPod with a refurbished one at no cost. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store for the exchange.
