9i Forms on XP: the even more final insult

There is a bug when you run 9i Forms on XP. Intermittently the mouse navigation fails: we cannot navigate to records in multi-orw blocks using the mouse on to individual fields in a single row block. However, the next_record key still works and the tab button still works. This is only on XP: the application runs fine on the older Windows NT stations.
The only, the only, reason we upgraded our apps to 9i was because Oracle de-supported 6i on XP (a position later reversed but after we'd spent the money). And now it turns out that 9i Forms on XP has this major usability flaw. Our users are spitting tacks.
There is apparently a workaround: use IE 6.0 native instead of JInitiator but then we can't use WebUtil and our application is truly busted anyway.
Just what I needed on a Friday evening! If you have been, thanks for listening.
Stay lucky, APC

I raised an iTAR on Friday evening, so I don't expect to hear back from sometime (it's currently WIP). If you're interested the TAR number is #3433696.995.
There is a known bug which sounds jolly similar and its number is #2997923.

I haven't tried the Sun plug-in yet. That is next on my list of things to try.

Thanks for that useful doc id. At least there are some folks out there with the same problem. My sysadmin had downloaded patch 3 but not installed it yet. I have set them to it as a matter of urgency. I will also look at getting the latest versiuon of JInitiator.
Cheers, APC

HT6162 Way to go Apple - Now the Caps Lock button in iOS 7.1 is even more confusing! Why not finally change the keyboard from lower to upper as needed?

Way to go Apple - Now the Caps Lock button in iOS 7.1 is even more confusing! Why not finally change the keyboard from lower to upper as needed?
Or, allow us to change the look of the keyboard as we would like? How simple would that be?
Thank you!

Random crash leaves me without a phone for the evening and more...

I've had no major problems (just minor annoyances) with the iPhone, since buying it the day it was released, until last night. I went out to the bar and was showing off the phone to some friends (surfing the web and YouTube videos) when, with just my luck, the phone resets (not the typical crash to the home screen I’ve seen). After the phone reset and began to power back on the screen said "Please Connect to iTunes." I thought this was strange as I had a fully charged battery before going out and figured that I could probably just reset the phone again to get past this. Unfortunately this wasn’t the case. At this point there was nothing I could do to get my phone working again as I'd lost ALL functionality of my device (except stylish paper weight). I thought this is just plain ridiculous as now I’m going to be stuck without a phone for the rest of the night hoping no emergency comes up where I’m going to need it (thankfully the rest of the night was to the most part uneventful). I’ve never had something like this happen, that is where I can’t use the device, to any of the previous half-dozen or so phones I’ve owned. But that was that and there was nothing I could do until I got home several hours later.
After finally arriving home I quickly connected the phone to iTunes which of course began the restore process. For the most part the process went fairly smooth but did take some time (about 10 minutes with all the verifying/restoring). During the process iTunes recognized my last backup, applied that to my phone, and reactivated the phone with AT&T. Everything was quite painless until finding out that iTunes doesn't quite back up everything which I've now found out and included a list of everything lost:
... Photos from my Camera Roll (this is the worst, lesson learned)
... Wi-Fi known networks and their passwords
... Mail account passwords
... Mail account messages (all messages had to be downloaded again)
... Calendar events that were recurring now appear twice
... All music/videos/photos had to be resynchronized
I'm still a little shocked that the phone can crash to this degree, at anytime, where you'll lose complete functionality of the device until you connect to iTunes. I mean come on what is not functioning properly that won’t allow me to restart/reset the phone? Good thing I wasn’t on Vacation or else I would’ve been totally screwed for the trip. Also, this was a lesson learned for me to backup my Camera Roll photos as I just never really thought about it before. Everything else lost was just an inconvenience in having to manually add passwords back, read/delete mail messages again, and delete duplicate recurring calendar events.
I just wanted to share my bad experience and hopefully Apple will continue to improve this device whereas it doesn't become completely useless for the evening. I still love my phone and this is by far the most trouble I’ve had with it.

Yeah, it would be nice if the backup contained a little more well backup. The Camera Roll photos should be synced or at least have an option to do so. Mail messages and passwords can't take up that much space and could easily be encrypted (again have an option to not back up if so desired). As for the duplicate calendar events I think it's just flaky with using Outlook to begin with.

Why does Googlemail not appear on the Start Page every time instead of going all through "more" and " even more etc, plus having to sign in even though I have ticked the Stay signed in box?

There is no consistency when one gets the Mozilla Firefox Start page.There is a line as follows :
Web Images Maps News Shopping Books more
To get Gmail one has to click on "more" which gets one a dropdown menu which ends in "even more" Clicking on this takes one to a page headed "Even More Google Products", including (Hurrah!) M Gmail.
Click on this and one gets the page where one signs in, even though I have ticked the box entitled " Stay signed in" and at last ones's e-mail page turns up. Very occasionally, instead of Books or Shopping on the Start Page "Gmail" is there which when clicked on takes one directly to one's e-mail.It seems a hell of a rigmarole just to get one's e-mail!

You can set Firefox home page to one of your choosing, see [[how to set the home page]].
If the keep me signed in option is not working, you may have a malformed cookie. Try deleting Google/Gmail cookies, for details on how to do that see [[deleting cookies]].

I just bought OS X Lion and now it says I need to go to the App store and pay even more money to get a newer iPhoto for PhotoStream to work between my iPhone and my computer. Is this a rip off to make us pay more $ or is thereanotherway to update iPhoto?

Yes, you’ll need to upgrade to the latest version of iPhoto for $15. That is the only solution. You can read here if you wish: http://www.macworld.com/article/160380/2011/06/icloud_what_you_need_to_know.html

My Iphone 4 32GB started having this issue when I downloaded the 2 last 6.1.X... VOICE CONTROL pops-up even when I sleep and calls random people just by the sound of the snoring... in FACETIME even more annoying. I confirm that it does this day and night

Turn off Voice Control.
Otherwise, basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).

Does copying files into the iTunes library take up even more space?

Hi everyone, I recently upgraded to Leopard and decided to give Boot Camp a try so I backed up everything onto my external hard drive using Time Machine and created my partition for Windows. In doing so, I know have an empty iTunes library.
I just copied everything to my hard drive using Migration Assistant, and although all of the files were locked because I didn't have enough "permission", i fixed that problem. However, when I tried to copy all of my itunes folders into my library, it said that I did not have enough space on my computer for it.
Dose copying music into the library use even more space than what it already is? I'm confused, because I thought that if i have the music files in my computer already I don't need to make another copy of it to place into iTunes...or maybe I'm just confusing myself.
Could someone please just let me know how I can add my music into my library? I really don't think this should be so difficult, I'm just terrible with computers. Thanks!

Under Preferences -> Advanced you can uncheck "copy music to iTunes folder", this should fix your problem.
Hope this helps.

how long have you had your ipod? mine did the same but after a while you need to get a new one because of the battery...

Hi, my iphone 4s shuts down randomly, Apple told me the phone is fine, I did a 2nd restore, deactivated iCloud, and no the frequency of shutting down is even more, any help please ?

Hi, my iphone 4s ios 6.0.1 shuts down randomly, Apple told me the phone & battery are fine as it holds a charge, I did a 2nd restore, deactivated iCloud, and now the frequency of shutting down is even more, any help please ?

It's almost impossible to say whether it's the battery or something else. If you're running 6.0.1 and you've done a restore and set it up as new, there are no other software updates to try.
If there's no Apple Store near you, contact Apple Care. If you can't wait for a replacement phone, you may be able to get an express replacement (they ship you the replacement before you ship them yours, but they will put a hold on your credit card until yours is in their hands).

HT6058 Will this new update slow down my iphone 4 even more than the last update?

Will this new update slow down my iphone 4 even more than the last update?

Thats a hard question to answer. The iPhone 4 has older technology than newer models which can cause the device to lag. Depending on what data and settings you have on the device, it could run slower. I would probably make sure to constantly close apps in multitasking and possible think about restoring the device as a new device. Make sure to backup your data prior to the restore

Have the developers considered randomizing the numbers for the passcode? It is easy to watch the pattern when someone enters their passcode. However, if the numbers appeared is a random order each time, it would enhance the security feature even more.

However, if the numbers appeared is a random order each time, it would enhance the security feature even more. Personally, I would prefer this option with security in mind.

He slightly beat you Meg, and I'm in the same boat with you. If I used a passcode I believe I would go with the feature to use a longer alphanumeric passcode rather than a 4 digit number even with the random code entry.
And of course if Apple did put this feature in they need to make it an option or we'll see lots of posts wanting to know how to get rid of it.

Next iPhone needs HSPA 1700 or UMTS 1700 and many other frequanty to improve Apple's profit even more in Canada and the US

Next iPhone needs HSPA 1700 or UMTS 1700 and many other frequanty to improve Apple's profit even more in Canada and the US. Wanting it for maybe for iPhone 5S for Wind mobile and many other companies in the US.

Apple (the worlds most valuable company) is extremely skilled at making a profit. I think they know what they are doing.

In Formscentral: is the form SECURE with SSL even if my existing website does not have SSL?

I plan to embed my new form with html into my existing website. My website does not have SSL. I would like my new form to be SSL secure (will have credit card numbers.) Will the upgraded plan provide this security?

When a form is embedded the submission is protected with SSL. You shouldn't collect credit card information using FormsCentral because the service is not PCI compliant. You should instead use our new integration with PayPal - it supports credit cards and paypal account payments. The credit card info is processed by paypal and they are PCI compliant.
Here is a tutorial on the new payments features: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-1632

Will the downloaded form continue to function even if not hosted by formscentral? Specifically, can I continue to gather data on the form, will it follow the same logic rules, and will it still launch to paypal once downloaded?

I am disappointed to hear about the end of formscentral. In the email alert it mentioned to "Re-purpose the form" by downloading the PDF and using the adobe acrobat software to distribute & track responses? What functionality will the downloaded form retain once it is not hosted by formscentral?

Just connect the new iPod to your computer and setup the iPod via iTunes (instead of via wifi).
If you want to copy all the infor from an old iPod touch to the inew iPod see:
