Did you know... (about dictionary of this forum)

Did you know, that default spell checker (when writing a message on forum) does not recognize words like: Microsystems, JavaBean, NetBeans, JDK, SDK, EE (used frequently on J2EE forum), Servlet, JSP, EJB, but knows words like SE (for J2SE) and Microsoft.
(Microsoft ???!!!)
It knows about Java but not about java (case does matter?!)
When I wrote feedback about annoying horizontal scrollbar when viewing some of the forums with FireFox (for example Java EE SDK forum),
I noticed that it also doesn't know about firefox, netscape, ie,
but knows about Firefox, Netscape and IE.

Proper names are known. But product names will not be - nor will acronyms.

Is there an upgrade for dictionary 10.1?

is there an upgrade for dictionary 10.1. i'm using snow leopard now and the dictionary will not allow me to check spelling

To see the version of Dictionary open Dictionary and in the Dictionary Menu choose About Dictionary, that is where you will find the current version. Your profile indicates you are OS X 10.6.6, if that is correct then I'd recommend your update your system. Before updating first backup using Time Machine or a Bootable Clone. Then disconnect all peripherals except the keyboard and mouse. Next download 10.6.8 Update Combo from
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Then install the Update Combo (it will be in your downloads folder) following the on-screen instructions.
After you have installed the Update Combo you will have the most up-to-date version of OS X which includes Dictionary.

Write some recommendations about iOS

Hello! I wanted to write some recommendations about iphone and it's operation system iOS, so that developers of apple company could fix some functions in iphone.
It is a problem about dictionary in iOS. Obviously,we can use dictionary throughout the system by selecting the word in the text so that we can se the definition of word. But when i read the definition, it may also consist some unknown words and i can not select them to see the definition. I hope that you understood me.Thus, i would like to wait the answer

Install offline Dictionary

Hi everyone .
how to install in my archlinux the offline (english-to-arabic , arabic-to-english )dictionary in mate dictionary ( or gnome dictionary)

Is it possible to install an additional dictionary in the Dictionary folder?
Presumably you are asking about Dictionary.app rather than the spell checking system, and referring to the folder Library/Dictionaries? If so, there is some info here:

HT5557 How do I change the language of iBook Dictionary?

I used to be able to use English - English dictionary when I used "define" on iBook. However, I am seeing English-Japanese dictionary ever since I updated my iPad2's OS to iOS 6.1. I'm using English as my iPad's language, and I don't see anything about dictionary in the settings. Any help appreciated! Thank you very much in advance.

It worked! Thank you very much! Funny thing though. It didn't work when I first typed "labor" and did define in iBook( I did restarted iBook). Then I realized you wrote "labour", so I typed labour, went back to iBook, define a random word, and it worked! Thanks a lot Tom!

Spell checking function?

I am familiar with spell checking since Claris Works but am having a glitch in emails, etc. From what I understand if you control click a misspelled word a list of possibles is supposed to appear. All I get is a menu to choose from that will get to suggestions in a round about way.
I thought that control clicking the highlighted word would automatically show possible suggestions without going through extra steps.
Am I doing something wrong?

This discussion is getting confused. The question was about spell check but most of the discussion is about Dictionary. Command-Control-D should pop up a definition of the word the mouse is pointing at (no click needed). But the word has to be spelled right.
For spell check: Select *Edit > Spelling and Grammar > Check Spelling While Typing*. If a word you type is not recognized, it should be underlined with a dashed red line. Put the mouse pointer on an underlined word. Control-Click on the word. The first item or several items in the pop-up menu should be suggested alternatives for the misspelled word.
It sounds like that is what you are expecting. Does that not work when you do as I described?

Dictionaries for other languages?

I have found only American English dictionary in my OS. I would like to add dictionaries for other languages (not translating dictionaries). Does anyone know where I can find more?
Thanks.

I have found only American English dictionary in my OS.
For spell checking, 10.4 already includes dictionaries for Australian, British, and Canadian English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, and Swedish.
If you are talking about Dictionary.app, it's possible to add dictionaries if you upgrade to 10.5:

User Managed Hot Backup via Sql

Hi being a bit old school - I am trying to understand the steps required for a Hotbackup managed via Sql ( sorry all RMAN fans ! )
I understand that I can backup each tablespace in turn ( via the necessary ALTER TABLESPACE <x> BEGIN BACKUP and then take it out of backup)
I presume also that I simply take a backup of my control file ( wither as binary or as trace if need be )
I am also guessing that you do not backup the Redo Logs ( since you will reset these on any recovery anyway )
The bit I am not sure about is the Undo Tablespace - can it be backup in eactly the same way as any of the other tablespaces ?
Are there any other components that I need to backup ( apart from archive logs )
thanks,
Jim

JimI'm old school too. Been in this business over 30 years. Still prefer a command line interface.Me too.

But c'mon .... user managed backups? How about dictionary managed tablespaces? initialization parameter files instead of spfiles? Ok, I'll give you the DMT (old skool hippies should be lol now). But user managed backups do have their place, and seriously, I think plain old parameter files are in many cases better than strange binary things that need special software to manipulate and require you to remember arbitrary things. I cuss at regedit every time...

What is the business or technical justification for not going with rman?
I can still remember my grandfather arguing with the guy at the tire store, insisting they put inner tubes in those "newfangled" tubeless tires . . .My last lawn tractor had much better luck with tubed replacement tires than tubeless with puncture sealant. Naturally as soon as I bought a new tractor I got a puncture, it doesn't come with sealant. Anyone who's ever struggled with a bead that doesn't set in without a high pressure air pump will appreciate grandpa's point of view. As well as sew-ups.

Workflows from a technical point of view

Hallo all!
I have a tricky question -- where can I find the technical information about workflows? For example, the information about dictionary tables that contain
Workflows definition data
WorkItems data
Is there any developer guide, any documentation, just something that could help to understand this inner side of workflows?
Thanks beforehand for any answer!
Anna

Hallo Raja!
Thanks for the answer. Actually I have already known about these tables. The problem is that they have no documentation and there are too many of them. There are SWW* tables and SWD* tables and SWO* tables and so on and there are also some tables that do not start with SW at all. For example, HRS1205. It is quite hard to understand the purpose of them without any help.
Best wishes,
Ana

Adobe Story CC December 2014 release: What's New

Hi,
See this blog post for info on new features for Adobe Story CC 2014.2: Adobe Story CC December 2014 release: What’s New
Thanks,
Kevin

Thank you. Any chance we can get Adobe to accept text other than English? letters in Polish or other languages appears as question marks "?", how come Celtx free let's me paste any text in and Adobe Story not. I'm not talking about dictionary/spell check support. All we need is for Adobe Story not to misbehave (with question marks) when we paste text from other languages. Coz,to let you know, there are films in other languages, really.

IPhone 4S Battery Life: Best solutions and procedures for 1st time user: 1-Do you have a battery life issue (learn first what the usage time spec is about) 2-What can you try to remedy the situation without reading 500 pages of posts

What follows is a grouping of some of the most fruitful procedures - from what I've seen in the biggest battery life issue thread - and some background information and discussion for solving or improving the battery life with the iPhone 4S and may be applicable also to devices on which iOS 5.0/5.0.1 has been applied. Credit goes to the respective users who contributed this information to the forum and they should be commended for doing so. This is not a final listing. The goal here is to provide a first stop sort of knowledge base document for newcomers instead of having them perusing the never ending threads where the wheel is reinvented on every page...
Please don't post your questions, usage screenshots, or claims that it worked or not for you or anything here except PROCEDURES/DEBUG STEPS/SOLUTIONS or improvements to the procedures already listed here. Try to use point form and to be as concise and clear as possible. Hope all this helps.
Thank you and good luck!
General info and specs
First, take a look Apple's battery tips, info and specs(obligatory reading for all Iphone 4S users - read it once and for all):
http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html
http://www.apple.com/batteries/
... you didn't read it? loll Always remember this i.e. the definition of "usage":
Usage: Amount of time iPhone has been awake and in use since the last full charge. The phone is awake when you’re on a call, using email, listening to music, browsing the web, or sending and receiving text messages, or during certain background tasks such as auto-checking email.
I'm still not convinced you read the links so here's what Apple has to say in terms of fine tuning your battery life:
Optimize your settings
Depending on how they are configured, a few features may decrease your iPhone battery life. For example, the frequency with which you retrieve email and the number of email accounts you auto-check can both affect battery life. The tips below apply to an iPhone running iOS 5.0 or later and may help extend your battery life.
Minimize use of location services: Applications that actively use location services such as Maps may reduce battery life. To disable location services, go to Settings > General > Location Services or use location services only when needed.
Turn off push notifications: Some applications from the App Store use the Apple Push Notification service to alert you of new data. Applications that extensively rely on push notifications (such as instant messaging applications) may impact battery life. To disable push notifications, go to Settings > Notifications and set Notifications to Off. Note that this does not prevent new data from being received when the application is opened. Also, the Notifications setting will not be visible if you do not have any applications installed that support push notifications.
Fetch new data less frequently: Applications such as Mail can be set to fetch data wirelessly at specific intervals. The more frequently email or other data is fetched, the quicker your battery may drain. To fetch new data manually, from the Home screen choose Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data and tap Manually. To increase the fetch interval, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data and tap Hourly. Note that this is a global setting and applies to all applications that do not support push services.
Turn off push mail: If you have a push mail account such as Yahoo! or Microsoft Exchange, turn off push when you don’t need it. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data and set Push to Off. Messages sent to your push email accounts will now be received on your phone based on the global Fetch setting rather than as they arrive.
Auto-check fewer email accounts: You can save power by checking fewer email accounts. This can be accomplished by turning off an email account or by deleting it. To turn off an account, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, choose an email account, and set Account to Off. To remove an account, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, choose an email account, and tap Delete Account.
Turn off Wi-Fi: If you rarely use Wi-Fi, you can turn it off to save power. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and set Wi-Fi to Off. Note that if you frequently use your iPhone to browse the web, battery life may be improved by using Wi-Fi instead of cellular data networks.
Turn off Bluetooth: If you rarely use a Bluetooth headset or car kit, you can turn off Bluetooth to save power. Go to Settings > General > Bluetooth and set Bluetooth to Off.
Use Airplane Mode in low- or no-coverage areas: Because your iPhone always tries to maintain a connection with the cellular network, it may use more power in low- or no-coverage areas. Turning on Airplane Mode can increase battery life in these situations; however, you will be unable to make or receive calls. To turn on Airplane Mode, go to Settings and set Airplane Mode to On.
Adjust brightness: Dimming the screen is another way to extend battery life. Go to Settings > Brightness and drag the slider to the left to lower the default screen brightness. In addition, turning on Auto-Brightness allows the screen to adjust its brightness based on current lighting conditions. Go to Settings > Brightness and set Auto-Brightness to On.
Turn off EQ: Applying an equalizer setting to song playback on your iPhone can decrease battery life. To turn EQ off, go to Settings > iPod > EQ and tap Off. Note that if you’ve added EQ to songs directly in iTunes, you’ll need to set EQ on iPhone to Flat in order to have the same effect as Off because iPhone keeps your iTunes settings intact. Go to Settings > iPod > EQ and tap Flat.
Usage specs for the 4S - http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html:
Talk time: Up to 8 hours (12.5% per hour drain) on 3G, up to 14 hours (7.1% per hour drain) on 2G (GSM)
Standby time: Up to 200 hours (0.5% per hour drain)
Internet use: Up to 6 hours on 3G (16.6% per hour drain), up to 9 hours (11.1% per hour drain) on Wi-Fi
Video playback: Up to 10 hours (10% per hour drain)
Audio playback: Up to 40 hours (2.5% per hour drain)
So a scenario of normal usage could be for example: 4 heavy hours of 3G internet browsing (66.4%), with one hour of call on 3G (12.5%) and 22 hours of standby (11%) = 100%
A battery life issue is a problem where the drain is really out of spec either during usage or standby or both. For example, multi-% per minute drain during usage or a 10% drain per hour during standby is problematic. Browsing the internet on 3G during one hour and losing 16-17% is not.
Apple's test methodology for claiming the specs:

davidch tips (reset+full discharge recharge):
Go through these steps to address the battery after updating to iOS 5.0.1:
1. Reset all settings (settings app-> general-> reset)
2. Go through initial setup steps (lang, wifi, siri, enable location, etc) and choose setup as new phone (don't worry your apps, data, contacts, mail will still be there). Do NOT restore from iCloud or iTunes (It can copy back corrupt settings)
3. Turn off system location services timezone and iAd
4. Fully discharge battery (tilll it shuts off with the spinning wheel)
5. Fully recharge battery (overnight if possible)
In my experience this improves the Standby battery drain issue significantly in most cases. It reduces drain from 2-4% or more per hr to 0.5% or less. It has worked for many, many users now. If it does not work after a few try's you may have a real battery or hardware issue and should contact Apple. Good Luck!
ram130's variant of davidch i.e. additional steps:
Now using davidch original steps and attaching the tweaks I made to get me more usage. As shown on page 29.

4. Fully discharge battery (till it shuts off with the spinning wheel)

6. Disable Siri 'Raise To Speak' and REBOOT *( if possible use another camera to verify the                 infrared is off after the reboot).
7. Set emails, icloud and calendars to fetch. ** test. Mines on hourly.
8. If your in a no signal and your phone is saying "Searching..." even after 10mins, reboot while in that area and after 1-2min it should say "No Service". This mainly applies to Verizon customers and improve battery life in these areas.
9. *optional* Goto Settings > General > Network and you will see "Hotspot.." loading something, wait a few seconds and it should say "setup personal hotspot" then exit out.
* I notice a great improvement after disabling this and rebooting. This increased my "screen on" usage or at least helped it. Make the change.
** I have not tested push yet to narrow down the drain but I had this change on my phone. I believe exchange push is responsible for some stand by drain. As for icloud, haven't notice much of a difference. Just try it for a day. My email still came in fast most times. Again still testing, will report back on these..
buxbuster tips(wifi sync, iCloud):
These are my own tested workarounds that worked for my iPhone 4S and seemed to have worked for others as well :
Workaround number 1. Deselect wifi-sync in iTunes and press sync.
If that doesn't work try :
Workaround number 2 : Remove iCloud, reset network settings. ( I guess this won't work for you since you don't have it enabled ).
If both workarounds fail, you can always try to completely wipe your phone. That also solved some of the cases out there.
rolandomerida tips - i.e. buxbuster and additional steps:
Finally, I solved the syncing error loop. My contacts are syncing flawessly again between my devices and iCloud, and yes, the battery stopped draining, which is the main topic here.
I followed instructions from buxbuster (check his workaround a few pages up!) and an additional BIG step to restore contacts and syncing, as seen in a MacRumors forum.
This is what I did:
1. Make a backup of your Address Book, using the vCard option (or both, it doesn't hurt). Save it for later.
2. In your iPhone, delete iCloud account. When it asks, accept both: delete AND delete from my iPhone.
3. Reset network settings. The iPhone will restart, then will ask you to unlock the SIM card.
4.Turn Wi-Fi on.
5. Add the iCloud account again.
That's for Buxbuster's workaround. For some, it might work just like that. My iPhone repopulated from iCloud after step 5, but I still had that "server error" on iCloud. I had to do some extra steps, since my Mac was not syncing to iCloud and couldn't edit anything on my Mac or iCloud. Syncing back had to be fixed, too. If not, the syncing loop would continue from my iPhone, and the battery would drain awfully again.
1. In System Preferences -> iCloud, I turned Contacts off. I chose "keep on My Mac" those contacts, but I got an empty Address Book after a while. And a few minutes later, iCloud contacts were empty and my iPhone also. It is scary at first! Now, before importing that vCard backup...
2. Turn Wi-Fi off. This is important, since your contact-empty iCloud will attempt to wipe your Address Book from your Mac in seconds after importing.
3. Import your vCard backup to Address Book. Just drag it to your blank Address Book window; it asks if you want to import "x" number of cards. Of course, say yes.
4. Turn Wi-Fi on, and then iCloud contacts on again (System Preferences -> iCloud). It will offer to merge your newly populated Address Book with iCloud (which is empty at this point). It should upload every single contact to iCloud, and then to your iDevices. If not, a fifth step would be to import the vCard file to iCloud, but it shouldn't be necessary.
So, with iCloud syncing working correctly, there is no battery draining! Again, that was my particular issue.
I can't tell if this is the single answer to the widely spread battery draining problem, but it sure can be fixed with these workarounds, and yes, Apple should address the problem with a future update, for we affected customers don't need workarounds in the first place
This is the MacRumors discussion:

And dont' forget to check buxbuster's fix, video, and THANK him!
Miless tips (full 800mb release of 5.0.1 and sanitizing a restore):
As for 4S battery life. Try doing this,
1. Settings>Location Service ... disable all location services you do not need. In particularly Facebook because it drains the battery a lot.
Scroll down to the bottom at Settings>Location services>System Services ... Disable Setting Time zone, location based iAds, Diagnostic & Usage.
2. Settings>Notification>Calendar ... turn off the Notification Centre.
3. Settings>General>Reset ... do Reset All Settings. Doing this will not wipe out your iPhone. It will just Reset the network settings, location warning, keyboard dictionary, etc... but it will clear up some corrupted data there. Generally this will help.
Try these 3 steps first... if it still drains a lot, try the following,
4. Drain your battery down to 1%. Then charge it up using USB from PC ... not the charger. The charger output 1.0 A ( x 5V from USB ... you get 5W power). From PC, output is only 0.5A x 5V = 2.5W power. Charging is slower but trickle charge 4S helps the battery retain its charge better. I think it takes about 3-3.5 hours to charge full from USB/PC compared to slightly below 2 hours using iPhone charger.
If after doing the above still could not solve your battery issues (mine with iOS 5.0 was ok up to step 4, but not iOS 5.0.1).... plug you iPhone to a charger (any charger), from iPhone, access your iCloud ... set it up if you havent. Back up your iPhone data to iCloud. if you do not have enough storage (only 5GB is free), go to details and select the apps you need its data backup, choose only those you really need and leave those unnecessary ones out. Back up your camera roll to your PC/Mac manually as it could be too big to backup to iCloud.... once you have it setup, make sure you are on Wifi ... tap backup to iCloud from your iPhone. It will take a while if the file is huge.
Once backup to iCloud is completed, plug your iPhone to PC/Mac and launch iTunes 10.5.1 (make sure you have 10.5.1)
Click Restore. It will automatically initiate a download of iOS 5.0.1 ipsw for iPhone 4S. Wait for the whole process to finish, ie. download, restore software/firmware.
Once its done, do not set up your iPhone from iTunes. Set it up on your iPhone. Go through the selection. When prompted, select restore from iCloud (from your iphone backup earlier). Keep your iphone plugged into iTunes while restoring backup from iCloud. Because while restoring from iClouds, some data will be synced from iTunes if you plug in, e.g. music, video, etc... unless you bought these content from iTunes store. Apps will be downloaded from App Store from the cloud.
Once it's all done restored. Turn off your iPhone,.. and turn it on again.
Now, hopefully your battery wont be draining so fast anymore. Usually it wont after this. But you need to charge your battery at least 4-5 cycles to stabilize the charge on the battery. I dont know why... but battery life seems to get better and better for me after a few charge cycles after all the above work.
Good luck. Let us know if it works for you.
W. Raider tips (Sirii):
Bottom line for me of things that helped battery life are:
1. Turing off Siri and Rebooting the phone by holding the Home button and Top button down, ignoring the slider, until the phone shut down. (turn off Siri, reboot, and check top front of iPhone 4S against a lesser camera like the front-facing camera on an iPad2 - making sure the IR sensor is off)
2. Fully draining the battery, meaning using the phone until it shuts itself off from a drained battery and then recharging it to 100% about 4, maybe 5 times. I charged it both with a Mac and a wall charger.
Hope this is helpful!
Comments
jmm514 remarks (Twitter):
I may have found something. I had Twitter disabled in my notifications, but got a tweet today that popped up on my home screen. Didn't know I had this enabled. At the bottom of the Twitter notification settings is the home scrren toggle. Since disabling this, battery life seems better. Considering there is no setting for frequency of checking for tweets, it appears the phone is continually connecting to wifi to check for new tweets.
tmksnyder comments (notifications, corrupt data in iCloud):
For me, I found my iphone on wifi mysteriously connecting to my mac. I eventually narrowed it down to the Apple Move Trailers app which keeps a file in iCloud. The phone was trying to sync the file with the mac in the background even when the Movie Trailers app was closed (hitting the red x). Based on my macosx logs the iCloud process that was trying to sync was working directly between the phone and the mac without using itunes by connecting to an https address hosted on the phone. It was connecting every 3 minutes and failing (while phone was awake or awake during during a notification). I also found that iCloud control panel on OSX would error if I tried to delete the file. I fixed it by removing the App and doing a hard reset which stopped the sync. I probably could have turned off iCloud document sync in the phone but didn't think of that. My battery life has greatly improved while at home on wifi.    I am now at 28 hrs standby, 2 hrs 20 minutes of usage, and 68% battery. It was ok before where I could get 20-30 hrs standby and 6 -8 hrs usage. My usage today was phone calls, 3g surfing, and music via bluetooth in the car.
I also found even with Itunes iMatch, if I mass updated tages, art work etc, it would hit the phone on wifi even in standby. I was amazed.   Granted if I am not doing updates, Match won't hot the phone so this was a once in awhile event. I could drop my percentage by 5-10% in a matter of minutes when doing updates.   I think a lot of our problems are background processes, associated with iCloud, notification, and apps. More features means more battery.   I think the key thing is to keep track of what has recently been added or changed if battery life gets worse all of a sudden.   It may be an app that was recently installed and if possible you may want to completely remove it and not just quit it.
With twitter, i think it uses push notifications so it doesn't need to be running and actively poll on the phone. For instance , if i quit the mail app, i still will get mail notifications and can swipe the message and load mail. Apple Push Notifications servics maintain the connection to the phone and there are likely pings or connection checks that occur for the service on an os level not an app level. This minimizes the load so there arent a bunch of apps all runing and constantly checking. The notification service , if it is contacted from twitter or another service with data, will check the settings you have registered to the with the apple push service and send the notification to your phone. No matter what, there is a drain with notifications. M hunch is once one application is configured to receive notifications, connection checking occurs betwen the push service and the phone so it knows where it is on the network. If it is implemented correctly, these checks arent frequent if you are still and more frequent as you move. The other drain is for when the noification hits and is processsed. If i get 9 emails over night, my screen just popped up for 20 seconds or so to process each message using battery. I would even think that just go from low power to turning n the screen uses more juice than if the device was already on and i get the message. On nights I get no notifications, I see a 3 or 4 percent drop. On nights with a number of notifications, i have seen up to a 10 percent drop. Besides notifications, wifi sync and icloud will poll on the local network and use up battery if the host computer is on and running itunes or trying to sync a data file that is corrupt (which i had with the apple movie trailers app causing my phone to drain). For me turning off wifi sync and remving a corrupt file in icloud solved my battery issues and I get over 24 hrs of standby with 6 to 9 hrs of use and this is with all the normal location services and push serivices turned on.
See http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/ipad/#documentation/NetworkingInternet/Co nceptual/RemoteNotificationsPG/ApplePushService/ApplePushService.html for more info. I think it has a good overview of how the notifications work.

Well seems like that rumor of iOS 5.0.1 is finally gone the way of the dogs since developers got a beta of 5.1. So as stated earlier in the master discussion-> I suspect if you are filling up this thread with false post or creating a master set of links to various post that are unreliable you are wasting your time. Press is not going to touch the story due to poor or inaccurate sources which may be links from the master thread. This can include inaccurate information, combination of conflicting post or postings from users which may not own the device. Reputable press organizations have policies that require discloser and strict rules about what is a reliable source for a story. It is clear that many of the post in the master thread, which are links presented here are questionable.
Sorry to say that postings taken without any analysis of their totality have been propagated via various sites, for example sites such as http://www.2012federalbudget(dot)com. (Do not visit but I suspect that this is not the 2012 federal-budget site you would expect based on analysis of the records. There are plenty of sites like http://www.2012federalbudget(dot)com propagating questionable post in these threads.) One site for example in the discussion thread used a self signed certificate, the site had a log in to allow users to enter their OpenID. Seems many of these sites are pop and drop drupel configurations.
So remember this is how the really bad rumor of iOS 5.0.2 got started, the 5.1 memory leak issue, iCloud Issues, call quality, address book, etc.
Some of the postings have been very comical, I think the latest now is a dropbox issue. Seems that the length of the previous thread has resulted in various app engines of some proxy servers/tools reaching their limits.
So I would make sure to know the source of any information you link to.

The original solution still represents a high level of success for users having any battery issues.
Install 5.0.1 on your iPhone 4s. Some users posting they are still using older versions, bad fake serial numbers, etc.
Make sure your device can run iOS 5.0.1 and is not altered.
Make sure you use a new Sim, not some cut down version which many users admit to doing. (Again, worth confirming what people are posting.)
Reset the device doing a hard reset and software reset.
Let battery drain and then charge for the full cycle, which is 24 hours.
I think you will find you will get the battery usage that APPLE has stated for the device.
Best of luck, stay safe and thanks

The built-in dictionary on my iPad only works with certain sites. What do I need to do so that I can it all the time. (For example, it does not work when I read e-newspaper.)

What do I need to do so that I can use the built-in dictionary all the time? My iPad 2's dictionary functions on Japanese e-newspapers but not on the Arizona Republic or other e-newspapers.

Are you talking about the English dictionary? Mine seems to work ok on the AZ republic web page. Does yours not work on all webpages? Does it not work when you type an English word in Notes and then do select and define?

Use the Mac OS dictionary vs. add on dictionary for spelling in Firefox

I have a series of questions related to the OS dictionary and about looking up the definitions of words and spelling. With Safari I could use Command+: to turn on Spell checker and loved using it. I have spell checker turned on with FireFox via Preferences/Advanced/Check my spelling as I type and like the other method better. I suppose I could get used to the method FireFox uses, but don't understand why cmd: can't work too. I even went in through system preferences and added it as a keyboard shortcut for Firefox without success. I dont' see anything in the pulldown menu's using that key-combination so what's blocking it? Another important feature that doesn't work is I can't click on a word to look up the definition. That's an important feature and I use it often. Because of these I stopped using firefox and continue using Safari even though Safari doesn't work for a main site I visit. Safari is also generally slow and locks up constantly causing me a lot of grief. If the problems I wrote about worked I wouldn't use Safari again and would commit to using Firefox. I would appreciate knowing how to do what I'm trying to do. Thanks,
Chris

Thanks for the suggestions. I installed firefox 16.0.2 and see additional features but still can't use the Mac dictionary or spell checker. I'm going to install the latest OS on this computer then I'll be able to install the latest version of firefox. The newest OS I can use on my other computer is 10.4.8 as it's a PowerBook and doesn't have an Intel CPU. Maybe I just can't do these commands.
How do I reset FireFox?

How to update a large (over 4 million item) List(Of Byte) quickly by altering indexes contained in a Dictionary(Of Integer, Byte) where the Dictionaries keys are the indexes in the List(Of Byte) that need to be changed to the values for those indexes?

   I'm having some difficulty with transferring images from a UDP Client to a UDP Server. The issue is receiving the bytes necessary to update an original image sent from the Client to the Server and updating the Servers List(Of Byte) with the
new bytes replacing bytes in that list. This is a simplex connection where the Sever receives and the Client sends to utilize the least amount of bandwidth for a "Remote Desktop" style application where the Server side needs image updates of whatever
occurs on the Client desktop.
   So far I can tranfer images with no issue. The images can be be any image type (.Bmp, .Gif, .JPeg, .Png, etc). I was working with sending .JPeg's as they appear to be the smallest size image when a Bitmap is saved to a memory stream as type
.JPeg. And then I am using GZip to compress that byte array again so it is much smaller. However on a loopback on my NIC the speed for sending a full size screen capture is not very fast as the Server updates fairly slowly unless the Clients screen capture
Bitmap is reduced in size to about 1/3'd of the original size. Then about 12000 bytes or less are sent for each update.
   Due to .JPeg compression I suppose there is no way to get the difference in bytes between two .JPegs and only send those when something occurs on the desktop that alters the desktop screen capture image. Therefore I went to using .Bmp's as each
.Bmp contains the same number of bytes in its array regardless of the image alterations on the desktop. So I suppose the difference in bytes from a second screen capture and an inital screen capture are what is different in the second image from the initial
image.
   What I have done so far is save an initial Bitmap of a screen capture using a memory stream and saving as type .Bmp which takes less than 93 milliseconds for 4196406 bytes. Compressing that takes less than 118 milliseconds to 197325 bytes for
the current windows on the desktop. When that is done PictureBox1 is updated from nothing to the captured image as the PictureBox's background image with image layout zoom and the PictureBox sized at 1/2 my screens width and 1/2 my screens height.
   Then I save a new Bitmap the same way which now contains different image information as the PictureBox is now displaying an image so its back color is no longer displayed (solid color Aqua) and the cursor has moved to a different location. The
second Bitmap is also 4196406 in bytes and compressed it was 315473 bytes in size.
   I also just found code from this link Converting a Bitmap to a Byte Array (and Byte Array to Bitmap) which gets a byte array
directly from a Bitmap and the size of that is 3148800 for whatever is full screen captured on my laptop. So I should be able to work with smaller byte arrays at some point.
   The issue I'm having is that once the Client sends an image of the desktop to the Server I only want to update the server with any differences occuring on the Clients desktop. So what I have done is compare the first screen captures bytes (stored
in a List(Of Byte)) to the second screen captures bytes (stored in a List(Of Byte)) by using a For/Next for 0 to 4196405 where if a byte in the first screen captures List is not equal to a byte in the second screen captures List I add the index and byte of
the second screen captures list to a Dictionary(Of Integer, Byte). The Dictionary then only contains the indexes and bytes that are different between the first screen capture and second screen capture. This takes about 125 milliseconds which I think is pretty
fast for 4196406 byte comparison using a For/Next and adding all the different bytes and indexes for each byte to a Dictionary.
    The difference in Bytes between the inital screen capture and the second screen capture is 242587 as an example which changes of course. For that amount of bytes the Dictionary contains 242587 integers as indexes and 242587 bytes as different
bytes totaling 485174 bytes for both arrays (keys, values). Compressed the indexes go from 242587 to 43489 bytes and the values go from 242587 to 34982 bytes. Which means I will have to send 78, 481 bytes from the Client to the Server to update the display
on the server. Quite smaller than the original 4196406 bytes of the second Bitmap saved to type .Bmp or the compressed size of that array which was 315473 bytes. Plus a few bytes I add as overhead so the server knows when an image array ends and how many packets
were sent for the array so it can discard complete arrays if necessary since UDP is lossfull although probably not so much in current networks like it may originally have been when the internet started.
    In reality the data from the Client to the Server will mostly be the cursor as it moves and updating the Server image with only a few hundred bytes I would imagine at a time. Or when the cursor selects a Button for example and the Buttons
color changes causing those differences in the original screen capture.
   But the problem is if I send the Dictionaries Indexes and Bytes to the Server then I need to update the original Bitmap List(Of Byte) on the server by removing the Bytes in the received informations Index locations array from the Servers Bitmap
List(Of Byte) and replacing those Bytes with the Bytes in the received informations Byte array. This takes so long using a For/Next for however many indexes are in the received informations Index array to update the Bitmap List(Of Byte) on the server using
"Bmp1Bytes.RemoveAt(Index As Integer)" followed by "Bmp1Bytes.Insert(Index As Integer, Item As Byte)" in the For/Next.
    I've tried various For/Next statements including using a new List(Of Byte) with If statements so If the the integer for the For/Next ='s the Key in a Dictionary(Of Integer, Byte) using a Counter to provide the Dictionaries Key value then
the Dictionaries byte value will be added to the List(Of Byte) and the counter will increas by one Else the List(Of Byte) adds the original "Bmp1Bytes" byte at that index to the new List(Of Byte). This takes forever also.
   I also tried the same For/Next adding to a new Dictionary(Of Integer, Byte) but that takes forever too.
   I think I could use RemoveRange and AddRange to speed things up. But I don't know how to retrieve a contiguous range of indexes in the received indexes that need to be updated in the servers "Bmp1Bytes" List(Of Byte) from the received
array of indexes and bytes which are in a Dictionary(Of Integer, Byte). But I believe this would even be slower than some realistic method for replacing all Bytes in a List(Of Byte) when I have the indexes that need to be replaced and the bytes to replace
them with.
   Even if I just used AddRange on a new List(Of Byte) to add ranges of bytes from the original "Bmp1Bytes" and the changes from the Dictionary(Of Integer, Byte) I think this would be rather slow. Although I don't know how to do that
by getting contiguous ranges of indexes from the Dictionaries keys.
   So I was wondering if there is some method perhaps using Linq or IEnumerable which I've been unable to figure anything out which could do this.
   I do have some copy and pasted code which I don't understand how it works that I am using which I would guess could be altered for doing something like this but I can't find information that provides how the code works. Or even if I did
maybe I can't understand it. Like the code below which is extremely fast.
   Dim strArray() As String = Array.ConvertAll(Of Integer, String)(BmpComparisonDict.Keys.ToArray, Function(x) x.ToString())

Monkeyboy,
That was quite a bit to read, but still a bit unclear. Could you put a specific list of goals/questions, asked in the smallest possible form?
It seems like either you're making a program that monitors activity on your computer, or you're writing some kind of remote pc app.
When you do get your bytes from using lockbits, keep in mind all the files header info would be lost. I think retaining the header info is worth the extra bytes.
The other, thing: I'm not sure if you're taking 32bpp screen shots, but also keep in mind that the "whole desktop" is the final destination for blended graphics, if that makes sense. What I mean is that there is no need to capture an "alpha"
channel for a desktop screenshot, as alpha would always be 255, this could save you 1 byte per pixel captured... Theres nothing "behind" the desktop, therefore no alpha, and every window shown above the desktop is already blended. I suggest using
24Bpp for a full screen capture.
Your X,Y information for the mouse could be stored as UINT16, this would save you a measly 2 bytes per location update/save.
When you update your byte arrays, maybe you can turn the array into a stream and write to whatever index, however many bytes, that should prevent a "Shift" of bytes, and instead overwrite any bytes that "get in the way".
ex
Dim example As String = "This is an example."
Dim insertString As String = "was"
Dim insertBytes As Byte() = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(insertString)
Dim bytes As Byte() = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(example)
Dim modifiedBytes As Byte() = {}
Using ms As New System.IO.MemoryStream(bytes)
ms.Position = 5
ms.Write(insertBytes, 0, 3)
modifiedBytes = ms.ToArray
End Using
Dim newString As String = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(modifiedBytes)
'Notice how below there isn't the word "is" anymore, and that there isn't a
'space.
'This demonstrates that you overwrite existing data, versus shifting everything to
'the right.
'Returns: This wasan example.
MsgBox(newString)

Well it's too much to read. I was really tired when I wrote it. Even the below is too much to read but perhaps gets the point across of what I would like to do which I think
Joel Engineer may have answered but I'm not sure. As I'm still too tired to understand that yet and research what he said in order to figure it out yet.
But maybe the code below can provide the concept of the operation with the comments in it. But seeing as how I'm still tired it may be confused.
