Alphabetic keys are used for keypad

I just encountered an odd problem with my PowerBook G4 12". I hadn't used it in awhile but it worked perfectly when I decided to give it to a friend. I reformatted the hard drive and tried to install OS X 10.6, only to learn that this new OS won't work with that old computer. So I re-installed 10.5.6 from the CD, and everything went well until I got to the first entry screen, i.e., name address, etc. Now none of the alphabetic keys work. The 7, 8, 9 and equals keys work, but the zero key gives a slash. Turns out it looks like the computer thinks its a numeric keypad, with j, k, and l keys giving 1, 2, and 3, u, i, and o giving 4, 5, and 6, and m giving 0. I can also get the non-numeric symbols from the numeric keypad, but not the normal alpha-numeric keypad that I had before. I've never heard of anything like this happening, and didn't see that it had been addressed before in this forum. Any ideas?

OK, problem solved. It was NumLock. Numbskull! I didn't know that laptops had that function.

  • Which legacy systems are used for what purpose?

    Hi gurus,
    I tried looking in this forums, but couldnt gather much information on which legacy systems are used and for what purpose? <b>can any body send me a link that can help me understand when and where, which systems are used for what purpose..</b> I have a general understanding of Legacy systems so i am not looking for terminology explanation,  i would appreciate any thing that is related to business and explains the purpose.
    thanks,
    kishore karnati

    Hi,
    Term legacy system means tailor made system by group of software developer or any branded software which deals with the group requirement  like tally we user for finance.
    Legacy system can be based on any technology like visual basis as front end and oracle as back end or Developer 2k as front end and oracle as back end. For report most of the legacy system we have seen uses crystal report.
    You can develop and implement based on the requirement from the user though you need to define some specify process to keep the system streamline which is in your hands.
    Concept like devlopment/quality/production we don't have that verys strict concept.
    More and more they are not intergrated each other functionally mean lets say inventory has come to the godown then your vendor outstanding should increase in finance which does not happens you need to key in the seperate value for it.
    Hope this helps!!!

    When checked, it means that you are going to apply whatever is in the box to all of the selected items.

  • Renewing public key certificate used for Seeburger AS2

    My general question is when a public key certificate, used for Seeburger AS2 payload decryption and digital signatures, needs to be renewed, how carefully do the certificate renewal steps need to be coordinated for a seamless transition?  More specifically...
    1. Once we import the CSR response from the CA, will the public key currently used by our partner become invalid, or will it continue to work until its expiration date? 
    2. Will our partner be able to validate our signature after the new CSR has been imported, but prior to them applying the new public key certificate in their system? 
    3. Or can we renew the certificate, import the CSR request, provide our partner with the renewed certificate, and let them apply the certificate at their own volition, provided they do it prior to the original certificate expiration?

    Hi Kurt
    In my experience, the renewal/replacement of AS2 certificates for encryption/decryption & signing/authentication requires coordinated effort on both sides.
    This is because AS2 uses asymmetrical encryption, so both parties need to use the same pair of certificates at the same time, i.e. you encrypt on your private key, and partner decrypt on the public key matching your private key. If the keys used do not belong to the same pair, then decryption will not work.
    I'm not sure what AS2 software your partner uses and if it has the feature of automatic rollover of certificate, but PI/Seeburger does not. The approach in PI/Seeburger can either be one of the following:-
    i) import new cert replacing original cert of the same name
    ii) import new cert into new name, manually update sender/receiver agreements
    Due to the manual nature of the tasks, normally it requires coordinated effort during a cutover window.

  • Which tables are used for Quality Efficiency calculation of OEE report ?

    Hello,
    We're confirming OEE report behavior.
    I'd like to know OEE report and ME table specification.
    Which tables are used for Quality Efficiency calculation of OEE report ?
    According to I know, the definition of Quality Efficiency is (complete qty) / (start qty).
    For this calculation, does OEE report just use qty_started and qty_completed of PRODUCTION_LOG table?
    If any other tables/columns/logic are implemented, your information is appreciated.

  • What the steps are useful for us while designing the database by Performanc

    Dear Experts
    Plz tell me.
    What the steps are useful for us while designing the database by Performance point of view.
    Like Proper indexing and table assing to specific tbalespace etc

    Oracle manuals would do the best for you. There is no step by step rules for tuning the database , had this be true , then Oracle must've write a programme , application or sql script to achive it . I would advise you to go through oracle performance and tuning guide .

  • Which keys are used in Client/Server Authentication?

    Hi.
    I am trying to understand how SunX509 algorithm works in a TLS context. When Server or Client authentication is done, which keys of the keystore are used?
    I mean, when you set up your KeyStore instance, it is loaded a whole KeyStore from the filesystem, which has a lot of keys to be used. Are they all tried in order to find the key that authenticates the Client/Server, and when a key that works is found means that Client/Server is authenticated? Or a concrete key with a specific alias is used?
    Do you know a doc or something similar where i can see this explanation? I haven't found this matter in JSSE API User's Guide nor in JSSE Javadocs.
    Thanks!

    The alias that is chosen is arbitrary and depends upon the order in which the aliases are returned via a hashtable enumeration. If you want to make sure you're using a particular aliasn you must write your own key manager, take a look at the X509KeyManager interface with methods such chooseClientAlias(), chooseServerAlias(), ...
