A few migration questions

I am needing to move an OES 11SP1 server to new hardware. This server is
used for quite a few things and I am concerned the migration utility
might not be able to move everything. The server is handling:
Novell DNS
SLP DA
traditional DHCP
master replicas for many partitons
NSS volume
CA for the tree
iManager
authentication source for Zen 11.2
NTP time source
rsync
Based on what I am reading in the docs, the DNS server has to be
manually moved using the java console prior to the actual migration. I
cannot find any docs on moving the CA but there's a TID that suggests
doing a backup/restore but it is a little dated. Does the CA get moved
as part of the migration/transferID?
The NTP, SLP, rsync and DHCP stuff will not be an issue.
Does anyone see anything that is going to cause me problems? I moved
iPrint off this server to a VM using consolidation and it did not go
smoothly, I am hoping the TransferID migration is better.
Thanks

To answer your question about the CA:
If you use the ID Transfer option for migration, the entire eDir DIB set, including the CA is moved/transferred.
However, it never hurts to make a backup manually
Note:
You do NOT want to manually transfer it to the new server and then do an ID Transfer, as the "new" server will be totally overwritten and that would be bad.
So basically:
Either use ID Transfer
OR
manually move (and NO ID Transfer)
I use ID Transfer quite a lot, and it usually works pretty well. Usually if there's a problem it's with LUM (go figure).
I also use ID Transfer to do paravirtualize to VMware migrations (since my experience with the "unsupported" tools to do such have been only 50/50)
There's no migration utility for SLP (you can see my signature for a link to my OES2 guides which SHOULD have a link somewhere to how i migrated SLP).
DNS is as you pointed out, special.
NTP I don't think gets migrated, but in OES, it's basically "point to this server(s) here", so as long as you use the same IP you're okay.
rsync is manually migrated.
Based upon what you posted above, I'd say ID transfer will basically be your best bet as that'll give you a new server with same name, IP, volumes, etc. and you only need to "manually" migrate/configure:
DNS
SLP
DHCP (yes, even with ID transfer, I THINK you need to adjust DHCP manually or something with the Console). But that's covered in the docs for DHCP/Migration.
rsync
I'd probably shut off the ZCM services while you do the migration.

Hyper-V Server 2012 Migration Questions

Hello All,
This is my first post here, but I have used these forums many times for information. Sorry in advance for the long post.
I have a few questions regarding migration to Hyper-V server 2012 for my production environment. I have done quite a bit of reading, but I have a few direct questions and I would like to get some direct answers.
My current production environment consists of one PowerEdge 2900 with 2 Xeon X5460 Quad Core 3.16GHz CPUs, 24 GB of RAM and a RAID 10 consisting of 8, 500 GB HDDs for a total of 2TB of storage. I am currently running Server 2008 R2 Enterprise w/ GUI as the
Hyper-V host OS. I have 4 virtual machines all also running Server 2008 R2 Enterprise. The 4 virtual machines consist of 1 domain controller, 1 Exchange Server with Exchange 2010 Standard, 1 Server running SharePoint 2010 Enterprise and the remaining server
running IIS with FTP and HTTP.
The network topology is as follows….
Hopefully it is clear from my diagram that the Hyper-V host OS is connected to the same physical network as the domain, but is not a joined to the domain. I set it up this way because I had concerns about connectivity and manageability because the domain
controller is a guest VM. Also, the IIS server is on a completely different physical network independent of the domain.
What I would like to accomplish is the migration of the above environment to Hyper-V Server 2012 as is. I want to keep my existing guest VMs unchanged and running Server 2008 R2 for now as well as keep the existing network topology intact.
I have 3 additional servers in a separate test environment that would be able to serve as temporary storage or whatever is needed for the migration process.
Here are the two main things I would like to accomplish with this migration…
1. Make the transition from Server 2008 R2 to Hyper-V Server 2012 as a host OS.
2. Migrate virtual hard disks from .VHD to the new .VHDX format.
All that being said, I have finally come to my questions regarding this process.
First and foremost, I would obviously need to back up my current setup in case something goes horribly wrong during the migration. My question regarding the initial backup is would it be better to do a bare metal backup of the Hyper-V host or should I do
individual backups (bare-metal?) of the Guest VMs from within their operating systems?
Second, since I plan to use Hyper-V Server 2012, I will have to manage the host OS using the RSAT from a domain joined client running Windows 7 Professional. How much of a pain is it going to be to setup RSAT and manage the non-domain joined host from a
domain joined client? Is there a better way without using SCVMM or using Server 2012 w/ a GUI as the host OS?
Third, are there any concerns I should have, precautions I should take or procedures I need to do before, during or after the migration regarding the existing VMs and the new virtualized hardware environment on the same physical host?
Forth, should I use the trial version of SCVMM 2012 SP1 (or another previous version) to perform the migration? What should I be aware of using SCVMM for the migration and then discontinuing its use after the migration is complete and moving to management
using the RSAT?
Fifth, if I don’t use SCVMM for the migration, what is the best procedure for moving the VMs? Should I just copy the VHDs to a temporary storage location, install Hyper-V server 2012, copy the VHDs back, create new VMs and attach the VHDs or should I use
the export/import process?
Number six, when is the best time to migrate the VHDs to VHDX format and what would be the best method?
And finally, do I need to worry about USN rollback with a single domain controller? From my reading, this seems to be a point of disagreement. Some people say it could happen while others say it won’t. Is there any point during the migration process where
it could occur either during the copying of VHDs or from the switch to VHDX?
Again, sorry for the long post and thanks for staying with me this far. Any information would be much appreciated

1) As Jens said below with Windows Server 2012 you can simple copy the configuration files and VHDs from a 2008 R2 server to a 2012 server and import them - they one caveat to this is that any vlan configuration is lost and you have to simply re-create it.
Optionally you can also export the virtual machines from Windows Server 2008 R2 and then import them on Windows Server 2012.
2) Remote management in a workgroup does have some caveat's associated with it - take a look at
http://blogs.technet.com/b/jhoward/archive/2009/08/07/hvremote-refresh.aspx. Generally I would recommend joining the Hyper-V management operating system to the domain - not just because of these issues but for a number of other features to work properly
(see below)
3) I always recommend validating the hardware and environment after the installation before migrating critical workloads to it - testing networking, backup etc... to make sure they function as expected. Also ensure that you upgrade the integration
components in the VM's after the migration.
4) That is an option - though you might find you like SCVMM
5) Recreating VM's using existing VHD's has some issues for example the BIOS GUID changes, all of the NIC's are re-plug and played etc... When possible copying the configuration or using export is much better.
6) The sooner the better - VHDx has a number of significant advantages, you can do the migration using the Hyper-V manager UI (edit disk) or via powershell with Convert-VHD. Do keep in mind that during the conversation you need 2x the space (for the
original and the new VHDx).
7) In the past you could get into trouble if you for example snapshotted an AD virtual machine and than reverted it - taking one offline and then brining it back online was never a problem. In Windows Server 2012 we addressed this with a feature called
generation ID's.
Domain considerations... A few things to keep in mind regarding the choice to not domain join the Hyper-V server.
- You can't live migrate virtual machines
- You can't utilize Hyper-V over SMB
- Management is more difficult and less secure

Exchange 2013 Migration Questions

Exchange 2013 SP1 to a new server. I just realized that I have been asking migration questions on the "general" forum. Here's the deal:
We just want to move to a newer server and reuse the "old" server as a DAG member. We have a production exchange 2013 SP1 server and I found that the DB is not on a RAID'ed drive. So, we purchased a server. I installed 2012 R2 and all windows updates.
Then installed exchange 2013 SP1. Then got our AS/AV software installed. When I boot the new server up and login to ECP, it sees all the exchange users, DB and info. So, I followed:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd876926(v=exchg.150).aspx
to migrate users and current email to the new DB. However, when users logged in their current email was not there. I also tried to use the ECP migration option and this resulted in the same, users old email was not in their inbox. So I had to perform that
same process on the old DB to get users old email back. I then tried to use the migration option in the ECP->same issue. So as of now, we are on the old DB and things are working fine.
According to:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997006(v=exchg.65).aspx
When moving from server to server, the DB filename must be the same. The non-production server does not have the same DB filename. Could this be the problem? Could someone point me to documentation on migrating from server to server

So I ran Get-Mailbox -Database “Source Database Name” " -ResultSize Unlimited | New-MoveRequest -TargetDatabase “Target Database Name” and moved all the user mailboxes. Then moved the system mailboxes, public folders and
OAB. Adjusted send connector to reflect new server. Log in as a user, all email is there. Great! Dismount the old DB. Wait a few minutes and user email is still there. Woohoo! Shut down the old exchange server and a few minutes later, all email is gone. Boo!
Boot the old server back up and mount the old DB, all email is back in user inbox. How do I use only the new DB in exchange 2013?
So I just dismounted the old DB and all email stays in users inbox?! So it must be something with the old server that did not get moved over but for the life of me I cant figure out what

Analysis Authorization Migration Question

Analysis Authorization Migration Question
This is detail Question
1) I am testing Analysis Authorization Migration in NW2004s SP9 and have applied all OSS notes that are relevant to SP09 and are coming in SP10.
2) We have 2 Info object flagged as Authorization relevant 0COMP_CODE and 0COSTCENTER
3) We have Object level security set-up in BW 3.x system and for a role we have specified values like 0COMP_CODE has value 1000, 1800. :. In the same role we have specified 0COSTCENTER value 130001 to 180001, : and hierarchy node.
4) When we migrate to Analysis Authorizations, using RSEC_MIGRATION, this program creates 2 Authorizations ZCOCODE00 & ZCOSTCTRH00. Both of them have 0COMP_CODE and 0COST_CENTER Objects.
5) ZCOCODE00 authorization gets value 0COMP_CODE values 1000, 1800. : and 0COSTCENTER Value :.
6) On the same line ZCOSTCTRH00 gets value 130001 to 180001, : and 0COMP_CODE :.
1st Question:
1) Why does it create 2 Authorizations?
2) During Checking it does not pass the authorizations, because it seems to me that it fails in Optimization process.
3) I manually merge the authorizations in ONE object then authorization check passes. In other word if I combine ZCOSTCTRH00 & ZCOCODE00 then Query authorization check passes.
Any one is struggling on this.
Please note, I am doing Migration so that it updates existing Profiles (Roles now from SP9).
Any comments will be very help full.
Pankaj Gupta

Hello Pankaj
There are some basic misunderstandings on your side.
Let me try to clarify:
First we should distinguish between migration of authorizations and of what a query does with them.
You had 2 auth objects before migration (in 3.x).
Of course, they must be migrated to 2 new analysis auths.
There is no general possibility to combine authorizations to a single one as the may appear in different roles and users. Moreover this would kill performance and finally, nobody would recognize the origin.
Only in very restricted cases one could think of a combination of auths which come out of migration. But, then people loose overview about what goes on.
Before the corrections in note "Migration IV" the : had not been inserted but now it is for good reasons.
Now, accept for the moment that you receive 2 auths.
Then, you cannnot (must not) combine the 2 resulting authorizations!
Authorization 1
COMP_CODE : 1000, 1300, :
Cost Center : :
Authorizations 2
Comp_Code :
Cost Center : 3100001-31999999; : plus a Hierarchy Node.
This means that e.g. combination
COMP_CODE 1000
COST_CENTER 3100001-31999999
is not allowed!!! Therefore, they must not be combined!
Also, the query and its optimization is comepletely independent of the migration. And here, during query run time the auths cannot be combined. It is no failure!
Moreover, the merging optimization is just a performance optimizaiton and has nothing to do with whether the query result is authorized or not.
If you combine them manually you have authorized different combinations.
Well, now you may wonder why you get 2 auths at all which leads to a "no auth" result in the query execution.
The reason is, that in 3.x where you got a result with your 2 auth objects the modeling was wrong.
If you want to authorize any combination of characteristic values, you should combine these characteritics together in one auth object, not in 2!
(In BI7.0 it works like that but not in 3.x)
But you defined 2 which may be valid even in several other InfoProviders independently and not even at the same time. Moreover, the auth objects may come from different roles and may be assigend to different users which then have completely different auth content. In general it is not possible to combine different auth objects or to find out those special situations which nevertheless allow for such optimizations. If you re-do a migration with more objects and users you could even receive different results which is also not satisfying.
Therefore, instead, the mechanism was introduced to insert a : auth to those characteristics that are auth relevant (and checked now with 7.0) but not in the currently processed auth object.
In you special case it may have made sense to combine them but not in general. And a migration can only try to work as general as possible.
For your application you may combine the 2 auths manually if you want to allow also the crossover combinations
COMP_CODE 1000
COST_CENTER 3100001-31999999

Few problems/questions! (cover flow, album art...etc)

Ok I finally added my songs to my new IPOD (replaced my old one) and this is my first Ipod with video, color...etc. Its the IPOD Classic 80 GIG.
Well I am having a few problems/questions:
---Why when I hit "Get album art" does it ONLY get art for my videos? It doesn't get any for all 1,500+ songs! Is it because they aren't downloaded from Itunes? If so then why does it do it for the movies then? They aren't from ITunes either!
---With Cover Flow I updated the Album Art myself and have about 700 songs with art now. But I have two problems.
1. It won't display all 700 songs under Cover Flow!
2. It won't show them in order by song name! Can I change that?!? If not then how is it showing them by? What do I need to change?
---Are there any other video types supported besides that on Mpeg4 and that other weird type? If not why not? Its a pain to have to convert everything. Its almost not worth having this video IPOD if you have to go through sop much effort just to watch 1 stupid video. I mean I spent more money on extra programs now for music and videos then I did on the IPOD almost.
---Is there any way to transfer your music from one IPOD to another? I know some people say you can't but why? What about people like me who have music ripped from our own cds and NOTHING from ITunes? Its a REAL pain having to rerip all the cds, put them back on, rename all the songs, fix all the info...etc. Its taken me 4 days now. Apple needs to think about a "IPOD TO IPOD" music transfer kinda program.
---How do you get pics on the IPOD without having to keep them on your PC? I notice it has to SYNC them every time I have it plugged into the PC! But if I tell it NOT to sync pics anymore then they won't stay on the IPOD if turn that option off and unplug the IPOD. Theres got to be another way to add them.

Cover flow on the ipod can only be done (as far as I know) on Album by Artist Name. On iTunes you can change it around

A few simple questions from a new Iphone user

Hi a few simple questions, just got an iphone 2g - 2nd hand so not really sure what to expect. Anyway I guess my first question is about mine sometimes being a little slow - when I look at contacts and sometimes when sending a txt it slows down/freezes a little - normal?
Secondly Edge - I havent used it much but when I have its been painfully slow, is this normal - is it always really slow - cause I had read despite not being 3g Edge was actually pretty fast - what exactly is data roaming by the way? I mean I have been switched off as basically I dont wanna use the internet till next month when they change my contract to one I get unlimited access on - is that right?
Im having a problems syncing videos to it - it just wont sync some but will others and Im not sure why - theyre same file type and they used to sync to my ipod touch but now they wont for some reason
Cheers

I have the origina iPhone.
Downloaded 2.0, synced phone with everything UNchecked. Installed 2.0. Synced with all the options checked to reload my data. The iPhone has been great. Noticed a little lag when I opened contacts. Installed the new upgrade, and everything is back, no lag.
Edge is Edge and nothing more. It is slow compared to a strong 3g signal. But is liveable most of the time. Heavy traffic can slow it down to barely usable.
My four wheel drive club has a web site with a large photo section. I was standing out in the middle of parking lot in San Jose, Ca and showing a friend some photos. It opens up a page of small picts to choose from. Select a print and it enlarges, He was amazed at how fast they appeard. Especially given the quantity of photos.

Few fundamental Question- Project IMG and BBPs

Dear All
I have few basic question and will appreciate answers ,. points will be awarded as well.
1. Is there any difference between Enterprise IMG and Project IMG ( or is there any thing such as Enterprise IMG exists in Solman).
2. Can scope of project IMG be changed once it has been creted and saved. ( if yes then Steps plz)
3.How to create BBP nodes in Solar02 based on Project IMG.
Regards

Hi Nayab,
1. In simple terms, Project IMG is a sub-set of Enterprise IMG, based on what you scope in. It can also be a mirror image of Enterprise IMG (meaning - all entries can be included in Project IMG). If you go to SPRO transaction in the given satellite system (R/3, CRM ...), you'll find different icons in front of each IMG node, under Project IMG - that is to let you 'document' your activities. Enterprise IMG is the core or reference IMG that SAP provides out of the box.
2. Yes. it can be changed. But, I am unable to list steps here
3. By BBP nodes in SOLAR02, what did you mean ? I have heard the term BPP (Business Process Procedure) or BB (Business Blueprint). Can you elaborate please.
Also, the whole topic of Project IMG Vs. Enterprise IMG is about the satellite system involved and not on SolMan's own configuration.

Srini

Just a few small questions :)

hi guys, just had a few small questions incase any of u can shed some light on the subject
1 - i have removed my Sound Blaster Audigy and i am now able to reach 2.5GHz easily, when the audigy was installed, i could never get over 2.4Ghz, why?
2 - i have increased my vcore to 1.7 yet am experience lower idle temps with c'n'q enabled eg...2.4GHz @ 1.55v would idle at 29c.....2.5GHz @ 1.7vcore idles at 23c, how?
3 - moving my ballistix ram into dimm slot 3 i am now able to go 1:1 to 228 htt at timings 2.5,2,2,10 easily...when the ram was in dimm slot 1 i couldnt go 1:1 over 200 htt, why?
if anyone can comment or provide answers i would be most greatful
thanks guys

NetStream.send() should usually be faster than NetGroup.post(), especially when using 1:1 NetStreams (vs Group NetStreams).
when groups are large, there's no passive way to tell when members join or leave. however, for small groups (less than about 15 members), they will be "fully meshed", meaning every member has a direct connection to every other member. when that's the case, you can see the NetGroup.Neighbor.Connect/Disconnect events on a NetGroup. to receive those, you must create a NetGroup with the same groupspec as your NetStream and listen for NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS events.
your function "msg" must be a method on the subscribing NetStream's "client" object to receive NetStream.send()s from the publisher.
this is all generic ActionScript stuff. i don't know how to use Flash CS5 but this stuff should all be the same in Flash and Flash Builder.

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.

Before upgrading iPhone to 3.0 beta a few basic questions!

We have a few apps up in the store, and I want to upgrade them, so I suppose I need to upgrade my iPhone now to the beta 3.0 firmware.
Before doing so, I'd like to ask those who have gone before me a few simple questions.
(1) I don't have anything on my iPhone that is earth-shatteringly important. But if I need to, can I restore to OS 2 and get my old email settings and apps back?
(2) What does updating to the beta 3.0 firmware really mean? Will I get to preview all the core OS 3.0 apps, including the search features, new Camera, Mail and Safari apps, etc.? If so, that sounds like fun.
(3) What happens when I synch with iTunes while the beta 3.0 firmware is installed? Will normal synch still work?
Thanks for any tips or advice on this. I can't afford to get another iPhone device just to maintain my current apps.

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.

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,

Few simple questions from newbie

I'm new to Java, but i've worked a lot with action script... it didn't help a lot :) Here are my few beginner questions:
What does: public, static, abstract, void... and other things mean in front of the class name?
How can i call variables from another classes: if i have one class that does one thing and stores the result in a variable, how can i use that variable from a different class?
How can i call the input window to enter the value for variable? I've tried with importing "io.inputstream" library, and used the "extend" thing, but i still cant call the input window?

I came to Java from ActionScript too, and I must say having ActionScript as your first programming language does NOT make it easy to learn other languages. I was incredibly lost when starting with Java.
What does: public, static, abstract, void... and
other things mean in front of the class name?You'll find all that in the Java Tutorial
How can i call variables from another classes: if i
have one class that does one thing and stores the
result in a variable, how can i use that variable
from a different class?To use the variable from another class, you need to make a call to the class. Let's say you're in ClassB; you would make a call to a ClassA variable by doing something such as:
ClassA.myVar.myMethod();
How can i call the input window to enter the value
for variable? I've tried with importing
"io.inputstream" library, and used the "extend"
thing, but i still cant call the input window?I recommend reading the tutorial before you try anything like that.

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"?

A few various questions

Can anyone help me with a few various questions about how to do certain things on the iPhone? Here's my questions:
- Is there a way to turn off predictive text? I'd like to enter in a phone extension for a contact. I create a new field for the extension number. Then enter in "EXT" but it comes out to "ECT". Also, is there a way to delete that field? Is there a better way to do extensions?
- How do I hide the keyboard when there isn't an option to hide it? This happens in the Mail settings area.
- Is there a way to keep the keyboard in all caps just for a single word rather than having to switch to caps for each letter?
- When I bookmark a website, sometimes the bookmark title is long so I can't see it all. I can click into the field but that puts the cursor at the end of the text string. Is there a way to then scroll left and see all of the words?
Thanks,
Brett

Ok this should be a long one so dig in haha. Ill answer them in the order you asked.
No, there is no way as of right now to turn off the predictive text feature. You must make sure to cancel the blue suggested word before hitting the space bar.
There isnt an option to hide the keyboard in any of the applications on iPhone. Im not quite sure what you mean on this one either.
There is a way to use all caps letters if you have enabled caps lock in the keyboard settings menu and then double tap the icon when typing. It will turn blue when it has been done correctly.
If you tap and hold your finger on a piece of text, it will pop up a little magnifying glass which can be used to scroll left and right. Its a bit tricky to find the right place on the screen that will make it move though. You will get the hang of it eventually.
Hope this helps. Enjoy your iPhone!!
