I have a few technical questions on Safari 4!

*Keyboard Shortcuts*
How do I set these?
*Smooth scrolling*
I am using the Windows version of Safari 4. Is there a way to enable smooth scrolling?

- You can just use the built-in keyboard short cuts.
- Smooth Scrolling is not available (unfortunately).

I'm manually migrating from 10.4 to 10.6 and I have a few synch questions

hello,
I have a more or less corrupt installation of 10.4 (you know, boot issues, permissions going whack every now and then, lots of procrastinating about it) that I'm finally going to wipe completely clean so I can start over with 10.6. but since I am not making a simple upgrade and since I can't just use time machine and have to back everything up manually onto an external firewire drive, I have a few questions. I would be extremely glad if you could give me a few hints, pointers, ideas.

I would move to Sno only if proper precautions are taken. More specifically, as suggested by V.K., I wouldn't do it unless I first made a bootable clone of my internal volume on and external drive partition. Your clone would be your backup, minor migration medium, and fail-safe device.
From what you have said, I definitely would do an erase and install. But, note also that, after an erase and install of Sno, the more you recover from your clone the more likely you are to bring problems with your Tiger install to your Sno install.
So, I would drag and drop my files from Tiger to Sno using [this guide|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6185507]. Before doing so, I would acquire [Preferential Treatment|http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/22790] and use this app to fix your user preferences--the items in your User/Library/Preferences folder(s). And, I would not migrate my users, settings, or apps.
Check the Sno [compatibility of all your software and hardware here|http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/forum:start]. By checking you will know where software and hardware hot spots are likely to be before doing your erase and install.

I am unaware of a replacement for pithhelmet. But, there should be a Sno compatible beta or release pretty soon I believe. Here is a quote from the pithhelmet website.
"A very early beta release for PithHelmet 3.0 is now available. You must have already installed SIMBL-0.9.x. I tried to build a .mpkg metapackage, but apparently that doesn't work at all under Snow Leopard. I wasted nearly 6 hours trying to figure it out (thanks Apple) but to no avail. "

A few technical questions

Ok, I just got my 5Gen 30 Gig today, and I had a few questions.
1) I had to update some of the names of the songs, because they wouldnt show up under the artist's name. I updated the names, the songs I fixed went back to the proper artist name. I then plugged the iPod back in, and it synched, but when I looked under the artists names to see if it had updated, it hadnt. Example, I know I have 5 songs by a certain artist, but when I look up the artist's name on the iPod, it says only 3. I'm just curious as to how to get it to do that.
2) I have it set to shuffle. Is there a way to have all songs show up, so if a song is on I don't want to listen to, but there's one that's a few songs up on the list, that I can go to that one without having to skip to the artist and going that way?
3) Is there a way to get iTunes to show a screen that shows all the songs the iPod, so I can delete one of the iPod if I choose?

1) See: Some songs don't don't show under artist on my iPod.
2) Shuffle is a random selection. There's no "list" as such to show you what will play next. If you don't like the song that's selected simply click the ff once to advance to the next song.
3) When your ipod is connected, click on "music" to see a listing of the songs on the iPod.
If you have the iPod set to automatically transfer songs, and you no longer want a copy of those songs on either the iPod or in iTunes, simply delete the songs in iTunes. Highlight the songs you no longer want then right click and select "clear", or from the edit menu select "clear". Next time you connect the iPod, the songs will be deleted from there also.
Only do this if you no longer want the songs on both the iPod and your computer.
You can also use the "only update checked songs" method in the iPod options (right click on the iPod in the source list in iTunes and select options, then select "only update checked songs"). With this preference checked, you can remove the check mark from the songs in iTunes that you no longer want on the iPod. The next time you connect the iPod, those unchecked songs will be removed from the iPod whilst still being retained in iTunes. You can check and uncheck songs as you change your mind about what songs you want to put on the iPod. Songs that have no check mark against them will be skipped over when played back in iTunes.
If you have the iPod set to manually manage your songs, and you want to delete the song from the iPod only, then select the iPod in the source list of iTunes, or click on the "music" option underneath it to show all your songs. Highlight the song(s) you no longer want on the iPod, right click and select "clear", or use the edit menu as previously mentioned.
This method only deletes the songs from the iPod, so if you no longer want the song in iTunes also, you'll need to delete it from there separately using the method above.
If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, all these settings can be found in the summary screen.

Going to buy an airport and have a few quick questions

I am looking to buy an airport. I want to buy it used to save a few $$.. So I was looking on ebay and saw one which said the following"
"This is the Airport Extreme Base Station, a great wireless router from Apple. It is model A1143, which is the model just before the current gigabit release. It does have the "n" speed, and comes with the owners manual, original CD disk, and the acutal base station and power supply. The only difference between this model and the current one is that the network switch speeds are 10/100 instead of the gigabit."
What does this mean that it is 10/100 not gigabit? When did apple change the model? Doe it make a difference?
Also.... I have a an airport express. That is not N speed. Does this mean that my entire network will not be "N" because of the fact that my airport does not go as fast as N?

Apple replaced the model you are looking at with the current model (that has a gigabit ethernet switch) at the end of last summer. You can read about the improvements made in layman's terms at:
http://www.macworld.com/article/59923/2007/09/airportextreme.html
Does it make a difference? Yes, but (a) mostly if the computers you are planning to cable to it also have gigabit ethernet interfaces and (b) you do a lot of data transfer between computers on your network. If your network is mostly used for internet access and printer sharing, you won't notice any difference at all since the older model was much faster than most people's internet connection anyway.
If you set up an Airport Express with an "N" base station - yes - speeds will slow down to the "G" speed of the Airport Express.

A few Technical questions, and problem with entitlements

I have dragged the profile to the library in itunes and synced. I have UPDATED my iphone to the 3.whatever platform, and updated itunes to 9.X ...I have dragged everything to library and synced...i have restarted ipod and comp several times...
i have tried publishing as test, beta debugging, and adhoc...no luck with any of them.

"The application "Ball" was not installed on the iPod "Wiggles" because the entitlements are not valid."
I spent all night last night trying to diagnose this problem, found very little info, someone else posted here, but it was never resolved.
I have checked again and again that the device is the right device, and i have remade my certs, provisioning profiles...p12s....exports, publications...etc....again and again.
Please help!
SECOND question: Am I not going to be able to release any apps in the iphone store because of the apple not supporting flash thing? (basically, i'm asking if i should stop learning this, altogether and just learn a different language and platform for development for iphone.

A few "technical" iPhone questions

Believe it or not, I'm not going to complain about the price drop!
Instead, I've owned my iPhone for a couple of days now, and have a few burning questions:
1) Does the iPhone have the ability to keep nagging me that I missed a call?
2) Many times, when I make or receive a call, either I cannot hear the other end, or the other end cannot hear me. It's like mute is on, but it isn't. Has anyone else had this problem? (It not just between iPhones, either, it's happened with me calling a Verizon number).
3) Is there any way to have the contacts screen display the records my the way Outlook says to display (file as) a contact? If I have Jim Jones at Acme Computer, I'd like the contact on the iPhone to be under Acme Computer, not Jim Jones. If I have 10 people at Acme Computer in my contacts, doesn't it make sense to have them grouped together instead of spread all over the alphabet?
4) Is there any way to put some of the "nested" funtions on the main iPhone page? In other words, under PHONE, there is RECENT and VOICEMAIL. Is there a way to put those as icon on the main icon menu screen instead of having to touch, touch, touch to get to them? It sure would be nice, while driving, to just have to touch one button to get to where I want instead of having to take my eyes off the road to navigate a bunch of screens...
Thanks for your input.

No. Not at this time. I haven't had a phone that does though.

During the two months plus I've had it, this has happened a few times. I just call them back and it's fine. This did happen occasionally with my old phone as well.

If I have 10 people at Acme Computer in my contacts, doesn't it make sense to have them grouped together instead of spread all over the alphabet?
I use Apple Address Book which has a check box to designate the contact as a business instead of an individual. The listing is then alphabetized by the business name instead. Is there anything in Outlook to do this same thing? I'm not sure what would happen with more than one listing from the same business. One way I've gotten around it in Address Book is to add multiple phone numbers under the business (or household for friends/families with more than one phone number) and then create a custom phone type for each person (ie. Jim Jones cell, Jim Jones home, etc.). One other thing to keep in mind is to use Groups. If you find that your contact list is getting too crowded, create some groups in Outlook and then sync the groups to your iPhone. You could create a group that had all your contacts from "Acme Computer".

So far the only keys that you can change are in the iPod portion. Give it a few more days. Navigating the screens will become second nature. I have no trouble in the car.
Good luck and enjoy your new iPhone!

Few basic questions about database administration

Hello,
I have a few basic questions about database administration.
1. I switched one of my oracle instances to archivelog mode. I just cannot locate the archive log files on my windows system. The %ora_home%/ora92/database/archive directory is desperately empty...
2.What is the tools01.dbf datafile used for?
3.What is the undotbso1.dbf datafile used for?
Thanks in advance,
Julien.

1. The archive log location needs to be specified in your init.ora file. By default, Oracle will place the archive files in either ORACLE_HOME/dbs or ORACLE_HOME/database.
2. The tools01.dbf file belongs to the tools tablespace which should be set as the default tablespace for system. It primary purpose is to hold Oracle Forms and Reports database objects, however, it should also be used for holding other non sys database objects such as the perfstat (statspack) or other third party database schemas e.g. quests sqllab.
3. undotbs01.dbf file belongs to the undo tablespace.

A few quick questions about publishing for iPhone/Android

I'm currently developing an iPhone/Android game in CS5 and I just have a few quick questions. If anyone can answer even one or two I'd really appreciate it
1- I'm developing using a 320 x 480 resolution for the iphone. When I tested it, the status bar on the top of the screen makes the edges disappear. How should I turn off the status bar? And if I can't what resolution should I use?
2- The performance is a little slow, and the game isn't very intense at all. What's a good way to improve performance?
3- For Android, what should I do for the resolution? Is there a standard resolution or do I have to have multiple resolutions for multiple devices?
4- Finally, is it worth getting the free trial of CS5.5 before I publish? Is there anything in there that will be a huge improvement over CS5?
All help is appreciated

1. Publish in fullscreen
2. Use bitmaps, cache all bitmaps, use minimized looping structure etc.
http://www.yeahbutisitflash.com/?p=986
3. Android: 480 * 800
4. Not that much, but you have GUI updates and have a GUI publishing screen for packager for iphone too.

Vibe Z2 Pro - Few newby questions

Hello, as a newby, I have a few simple questions about Z2 Pro and Vibe UI:
(a) the main issue I have with Vibe UI on this phone is that the 4-apps-per-row look very huge, can you cange it to 5 apps per row with some settings? that would be really useful, as most other big phones are 5 apps per row.
(b) can I make a guest mode? I think I saw with some other phones, that you can make a guest mode, so that your little cousens don't see all your apps that they don't need to see. I know there is secure mode but that is sothing else.
(c) can you use Z2 Pro to make the payments with the phone? I know it has the NTF, but don't you need a finger print scanner for that?
(d) in the camera settings, when I tested the phone, I could not choose 1:1 for the front camera, only for the selfie camera? Is that really so? I would not see why not.
(e) in the camera settings, I can choose between 3:4 and 16:9 but I somehow could not find the settings for image resolution. what do I do if I want low resolution photos or very high resolutio photos?
(f) I assume, you can't charge the phone wirelessly, that would be too much to ask for
Thanks guys.

Hi, ileyb
Unfortunately I don't know, what is the "Security Zone" & will be very grateful if you explain a bit about this feature or provide an appropriate link.
In order to switch to "stock android", you have to do the next:
1) Go to Settings > About phone > Version information, tap 7 times on "Software version number". This will unlock "Developer options" settings section.
2) Go to Settings > Developer options > Switch System UI Style and enjoy,

A few beginner questions

I installed AD7 as part of the CS2 Premium package. I have a few basic questions to help me get started.
1. I have added a Text Field box. When I preview the form and enter text in the form, the text starts in the vertical center of the form, not at the top. I have allowed for many lines of input, but I want the text that is inputed to start on the top and work down the area as the user types, not keep the text centered vertically.
b How do I change the text field so that the user text starts at the top left of the field?
2. I'm not really ready to accept the data from my forms as XML. I'd have to write some sort of XML parser or use a database program to read the data. I do not get volumes of data. I would just like to receive a filled in PDF file via e-mail that is easy for me to read after the user fills in their data.
b How do I code the form so that when the user is ready, it submits the completed form back to me via e-mail in .pdf format?

I finally found the answer to my question #1, Use the Window<Paragraph to set the attributes for the text field paragraph. I'm still trying to figure out #2 though. I have a new question too b How do I add a note in my form like I can when creating a PDF document in Acrobat? I want to use the note as detailed instructions on how to fill out a particular field. Perhaps, AD7 has some other way of accomplishing this that is not called a "note"?

Oracle 9i R2 Installation on RH Linux 7.3 -- Have a few questions.

Hello,
I am at the end of the Oracle 9i R2 installation and have a few questions.
1) The "Agent Configuration Assistant" keeps failing. I get the following message.
Parameters "orahome" = /opt/oracle/product/9.2.0
Parameters "nodeinfo" = NODE_VALUE
Agent Service Failed
What does this mean and how can I complete Agent Configuration Assistant install?
2) I completed the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant successfully and created passwords for sys and sysoper (not sure if these were the exact users). Note I did not modify any other users or unlock them.
How do I log into the sqlplus prompt, what users should I use and how can I create new users and databases?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Regards,
Chris Barone
[email protected]

(1) You can probably just ignore the Agent Configuration (are you using the Agent to collect data?)
(2) sqlplus '/ as sysdba' will log you into the SQL*Plus prompt.

New to IPhone and have a few Questions?

To start I want to say that I am a long time (25+ years) veteran of technology but am new the the IPhone. My IPhone is not Jailbroken and would like to keep it that way if I can. Allthgouh I did jailbrake it with blackra1n for about 30mins then I did a factory reload and let it be as it started acting stupid once I started installing apps from unofficial sources.;) Im a x86 nerd and NOT a MAC guy. I haven't sat down at a MAC/Apple in about 15/20 years.
I just got my first IPhone 3Gs/16GB. (Coming from a BlackBerry Curve 8310) the other day and although it is taking some time getting used to, I think I will like it more then I do once I get used to it.
Anyhow I have a few questions to start off with. I did some googleing already but just want to make sure I understand a few things.
All though I did the BlackRa1n jail break thing and installed a few apps then it locked up and failed to turn on or something so I did the whole reload from itunes and now its all good. Anyhow.....
1.) It appears as if one can not run a program from the home sreen and have it run in the background while doing other things? Take the many SIP Clients I have played with in the last 48 hours. Once I open the SIP Client and connect if I hit the physical button below the screen the program closes, thus the sip client no longer works. Pretty much most if not all apps iv installed from the App Store act like this. Is this the case? Does the IPhone not mutitask at all or verywell?
2.) Are there any SIP Clients that work over 3G? All the ones iv tried say they are for WIFI only. The SIP Clients work fine when on WIFI. It sounds like this is Apples way of controlling/monopolizing the voice/data/voip aspect of the platform/device. Im sure they would lose a lot of money if everyone did what I am trying to do.Just my opinion.
3.) Maybe I play with it to much but **** the battery dies fast. Is there anyway to optimize the battery at all other then for me not to use it as much?
4.) How can I remote lock it if I lose it or it gets stolen? I read somewhere this could be done.
5.) Are there any other Shells/HomeScreens/Themes that can replace the standard 4x4x4 row icons?
6.) The speaker phone (when on a call) seems kinda low even when turned all the way up. Is there any way to make it louder?
7.) I am using the built in VPN client to connect to my works PPTP Windows 2003 VPN server but the client randomly disconnects through out the day. Is there any way to have some type of keep alive set or are there any other VPN Clients that I can use?
Sorry for all this just thought I would ask for feedback.
Many thanks for any help anyone can provide,
SomeOneOnLine

1.) It appears as if one can not run a program from the home sreen and have it run in the background while doing other things? Does the IPhone not mutitask at all or verywell?
The iPhone SDK does not permit ANY 3rd party apps from running in the background or multitasking. It does provide for push notifications which can simulate certain background activity in terms of receiving external notifications while the app is actually closed. This works reasonably well with IM apps, news, sports, weather, travel updates and some peer-to-peer games.
2.) Are there any SIP Clients that work over 3G? All the ones iv tried say they are for WIFI only.
Just how would the SIP server connect to the cell carrier 3G network? Do you know of ANY that do??
3.) Maybe I play with it to much but **** the battery dies fast. Is there anyway to optimize the battery at all other then for me not to use it as much?
3G voice and data connections are culprits. Avoid email push and frequent fetching. See this Apple article for detailed suggestions.
http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html
4.) How can I remote lock it if I lose it or it gets stolen? I read somewhere this could be done.
MobileMe Find My iPhone will locate, set a passcode lock and optionally wipe all data from your iPhone. You have to be a MobileMe subscriber.
5.) Are there any other Shells/HomeScreens/Themes that can replace the standard 4x4x4 row icons?
No. Apple does not permit this.
6.) The speaker phone (when on a call) seems kinda low even when turned all the way up. Is there any way to make it louder?
You can troubleshoot your iPhone as described in the User Guide - restart, reset, reset settings, restore. Or, get hearing aids
7.) I am using the built in VPN client to connect to my works PPTP Windows 2003 VPN server but the client randomly disconnects through out the day. Is there any way to have some type of keep alive set or are there any other VPN Clients that I can use?

I am now running Windows 7 Ultimate on my Macbook Pro and the through VMware Fusion Software and I have a few questions about the ins and outs.

So far I have a few kinks to work out. While running Internet Explorer 8, I get the error message, " Cannot connect to the internet." In Networks on the control panel, it says that I am connected to a local area public network but there is no internet access. How do I establish a connection to my existing network which works with the mac os? Also, of course, programs like Adobe, Quick Time Player, and uTorrent/bitorrent are already installed on my computer. Do I have to download them again on windows or can I import them or share them somehow?

I am about to run specialized GIS software that may or may not need the full machine resources. I am an attorney who uses QuickBooks for my accounting. The Mac version does not do as much as the Windows version. This is from both Apple and Quick Books professionals. I am using Parallels Desktop version 8 at this time. It does not support QuickBooks Windows version per Parallels. Any other questions? I am a highly competent PC user who is new to Macs. I am entitled to my own configuration choices. That said, I know when I need help which is now.
As to the free space issue I have 665.18 GB free space out of 749.3 GB on the drive. I am not trying to run the 32 bit version. I know that it requires the 64 bit version. Besides, it does not get that far in the process. As I said Boot Camp asssitant terminates unexpectedly as soon as you hit the continue button after setting the partition size. Therefore I conclude that it does not have a chance to see which version of Windows that I am using. I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit version in the virtual engine (to use Parallels speak), but again Boot Camp would not see that since it is not running. It can't run at the momenet because Apple just installed a new hard drive and I have just restored the data from TIme Machine and Parallels needs reactivated, which I have not done yet deliberatley. With all of this addtiional information do you have any further suggestions? Thanks for your time and interest my issue.

Technical question: Is it possible to work on the same Lightroom catalog across two computers and have the catalog sync? If so, how??

Technical question:
Is it possible to work on the same Lightroom catalog across two computers and have the catalog sync? If so, how??
Here's a little more information on what I am trying to do.
I have a desktop computer with 4tb worth of pictures that has Lightroom and Photoshop on it. I also have a laptop with Photoshop and Lightroom. I would like to be able to edit those same pictures with their current edits that are currently on my desktop on my laptop. If this can be done, I'm sure I need to be on the same wifi network for my laptop to be able to access my desktop's photo library. I am technically savvy enough to map a network drive, but how do I get my two Lightroom catalogs to sync when I make a change on one of my computers? Would i be working only on one catalog? Or two separate catalogs that would need to be manually synced to the other computer? Would it be beneficial to put my lightroom catalog on something like dropbox?
I'd appreciate any information or tutorials if someone knows how to do this.

I do this by having my LR catalog and photos on an external drive that I swap between the two computers. I am on Windows and have the same drive letter assigned to the drive on both computers.
Because the photos are on a portable drive I back up the portable drive to another hard-drive every night or after important work, because portable drives are susceptible to damage or loss.

After using the iPhone 4 (3GS previously) and really liking the OS on it, I am thinking of purchasing an iPad to make reading ebooks easier, also, having the iPad would be more convenient for me to quickly go on the net in my home (or other wifi area, but mostly home use) to seek information and also check, send emails, rather than having to switch the computer on all the time and then having to wait for it to load up and also with the iPad, the larger screen would make email, internet use and ebook use more pleasurable due to the iPad's larger screen when compared to using my iPhone.
I have a few questions that I would like to ask to iPad users, who could perhaps answer them for me?
In my household we have 2 iTunes libraries, one for my iPhone and one for my girlfriend's iPod. I created a separate iTunes library for each of the devices so that each one would have a totally separate library and therefore the possibility of having one overwriting the others library would be impossible.
Now ideally I would be wanting to create a separate iTunes library for the iPad, but I would want to add the music and apps, email accounts, bookmarks that I have on my iPhone and add them onto my iPad. Would this possible?
Also. I believe some apps have specific versions for either iPhone or iPad, so would the iPhone versions of the apps run on the iPad, or would I need to download the iPad versions of those particular apps?
Also. I have a number of DVD's that I have converted and then dragged and dropped the video off of them into iTunes. If I am correct, would I need to reconvert those videos/DVD's again, as the video size (screen size) would be for the iPhone and therefore a smaller screen, which would not look very good on the iPad's much larger screen. If this is the case, can anyone recommend a good video converter for converting video for the iPad and what settings need to be used for the iPad?
I also would be wanting to have a number of photos on the iPad. To get them onto the iPad, is it just a simply matter of selecting the pictures I have on my computer that I want added to my iPad, and then just dragging and dropping them into iTunes, then connecting and syncing the iPad to get them added on to the iPad, or is there an easier method?
Thanks in advance

Funny you should mention Macs, but I'm thinking of my next computer been an iMac, and using the Parallel Desktop software so that I can have functionality of been able to switch to Windows when needed to run the programs that are not Mac compatibly. I'm swaying towards Mac has I have heard their OS is more reliable and secure compared to Windows, and the need to have anti virus and anti spyware programs on a Mac is not really needed, but I figure if I can run Windows on a Mac then I have the best of both worlds, anyhow back on to topic
I do indeed take backups of the various libraries and related data for them.
I have used the Dropbox app and was impressed, but I did prefer an app called iFiles which allows me to carry various files/files types around with me on my iPhone, such as PDF files, Word doc files etc.
The reason I use the method of having a separate iTunes library for each device we use on the computer, (my iPhone, girlfriend's iPod, and soon maybe an iPad) is because I accidentally replaced the music I had on an iPod I had at the time with my girlfriend's music. So from then on, that's why I have created a separate library for each Apple device, and so far I have never accidentally messed up another devices contents.
Thanks for the help its much appreciated.

I have a few technical questions on Safari 4!
