Annoying problem with shift key in limit dialog Brio 6.6.4

<p>My company uses Brio Insight & Designer v6.6.4. We (meaning almost all users) are encountering an annoying problem whenadding a limit to a query using the limit dialog. When try toenter a limit value using the shift key, as in Shift T to enter acapital T, the limit value field ends up with a value like"TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT". Thisis very annoying and widespread problem with us. It seemed tostart when we upgraded to Win XP SP2. Is there a solution forother than to "upgrade to the latest version"?</p>

Unfortunately not. The only way we avoided this issue was to upgrade or write the text into a text editor and cut and paste the text into the section name box.

IOS 7, iPad 4: keyboard problems with Shift key

Since I have upgraded my iPad 4 to iOS 7 a few days ago the keyboard drives me mad: I did not experience the overall slowness of the keyboard as reported by so many others. Anyway, I reset my settings just to be safe. But the reset had absolutely no influence on my real problem which is as follows:
Whenever and wherever (each app) I type, it is just a matter of luck whether or not the keyboard will recognise me typing the Shift key in order to get capital letters - and there are many caps in German words because each noun must be in caps! In 70% of all cases iOS will just write my capital letters as lower-case ones because it just does not recognise me hitting the Shift key, especially when typing quickly. Under iOS 6 this problem did not exist. I am losing so much time fixing missing capitalisation in all my texts (I use iPad for business) and/or typing extra slow and hitting the virtual Shift key on the screen extra hard that there is absolutely no flow in typing. Everything is just slow, whacky and it drives me nuts! How can it be that the latest iPad 4 with so much CPU power cannot handle a simple thing as typing caps? I am also experiencing problem when using the wipe-up gesture to get umlauts on vowels. It is not as bad as with Shift, but also noticeable.
Is there any solution to this problem? It is a major impediment and I am even considering an iOS downgrade because it is basically killing my ability to work efficiently with my iPad. Otherwise I am kinda okay with iOS 7, but this is a real show stopper. I wonder why I found nobody else on the whole web mentioning this problem.

Thank you Habitoti for describing the necessary change to the way that we need to type on ios devices to avoid the capital letter problem.
Holding the shift key fractionally longer solves the problem. But why oh why would Apple require users to fundamentally change the way they touch type by introducing a different keyboarding protocol like this? It is most unlike Apple to have us now have to consciously think about how to touch type all over again.
Intuitive operating systems are what make Apple so great. This keyboard problem is definitely not intuitive and it is driving me crazy.
Apple, you need to change the time weighting on the shift key in iOs 7.04.
Please, pretty please!

Lion keyboard problem with shift keys

After installing lion the shift keys open things like expose.
How can i assign them to their old function?

I have a wired usb keyboard. It has F3 for Mission control and F4 for dock.
In System preferences, Dutch language by the way, in the Keyboard pane, key combinations, Mission control is also assigned to ctrl up. That would be the right one, I pressed the reset button, no change.
Now I tried selecting my keyboard, it was not recognized and pressing the key next to the left shift only gives a warning sound.
I will try some combinations with disconnected keyboards and another keyboard with reboot, to see if anything changes....

Problem with [shift-f1]-[shift-f4] in xterm

I have run into some problems with the function keys on an xterm. The shifted versions of F1-4 don't work as expected. I found this thread:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … +bug/96676
discussing what seems to be this issue, having to do with some change in the terminfo data for various flavours of xterm. It apparently applies to gnome-terminal too, but not to Konsole, since it uses TERM=linux and not vt220, as far as I understand it. I can confirm this on my part too.
The discussion there is inconclusive, so I just wanted to know if (a) anyone else here experiences the same problem (specifically, I have mapped <S-f4> to :wq in vim, but in xterm, it doesn't work. Changing to <S-f5> does work), (b) if this is a gnome/ubuntu-problem or a problem with xterm itself or some other library, and (c) if someone here knows of a fix, either temporary or permanent. At present, S1-4 are useless...

Personally, I prefer to use a single shift register and an array with two elements. Minimizes code clutter.

Mapping problem with compressed key update record

Hi, could you please advise?
I'm getting the following problem:
About a week ago replicat abened with "Error in mapping" error. I found in discard file some record looking like:
filed1 = NULL
field2 =
field3 =
field4 =
field5 =
datefield = -04-09 00:00:00
field6 =
field8 =
field9 = NULL
field10 =
Where filed9 = @GETENV("GGHEADER", "COMMITTIMESTAM"), field10 = = @GETENV("GGHEADER", "COMMITTIMESTAM"), others are table fields mapped by USEDEFAULTS
So I got Mapping problem with compressed key update record at 2012-06-01 15:44
I guess I need to mention that extract failed in 5 minuts before it with: VAM function VAMRead returned unexpected result: error 600 - VAM Client Report <[CFileInfo::Read] Timeout expired after 10 retries with 1000 ms delay, waiting to read transaction log or backup files. To increase the number of retries, use SETENV (GGS_CacheRetryCount = n) in Extract parameter file. To control retry delay time, use SETENV (GGS_CacheRetryDelay = n). handle: 0000000000000398 ReadFile GetLastError:997 Wait GetLastError:997>.
I don't know if it has ther same source as data corruption, could you tell me if it is?
Well, I created new extract, starting 2012-06-01 15:30 to check if there was something with extract at the time, but got the same error.
If I run extract beging at 15:52 it starts and works.
But well, I got another one today. Data didn't look that bad, but yet one column came with null value:( And I'm using it as a key column, so I got Mapping problem with compressed key update record again:(
I'm replicating from SQL Server 2008 to Oracle 11g.
I'm actually using NOCOMPRESSUPDATES in Extract.
CDC is enabled for all tables replicated. The only thing is that it is enabled not by ADD TRANDATA command, but by SQL Server sys.sp_cdc_enable_table, does it matter?
Could you please advise why does it happen?

Well, the problem begins somewhere in extract or before extract, may be in transaction log, I don't know:(

The SCRP_CODE column has a NOT NULL constraint. The ORA-01407 error is telling you that you cannot update or set a value for this column to null because of the constraint. This has absolutely nothing to do with an index. You can use a marker/sentinel value in lieu of using NULL. For a numeric field, where everything is positive, a negative value (-1) can be decoded as meaning null. For a character field, a code such as NA can represent NULL.
This also has nothing to do (directly) with GoldenGate failing because of this error. The underlying SQL statement will fail everywhere, regardless of the tool or application. It is not a case of failing only in GoldenGate.

Having problem with dead key in Leopard

Hello. I'm having problem with dead key in Leopard.
In Tiger it was working, but in Leopard dead key "'" doesn't work.
In Tiger I could use OPTION key as well to get Latvian special characters (both worked - OPTION Key and dead-key), but in LEOPARD OPTION key is the only possibility to get these characters.
How can I get dead key "'" working?
I'm using Latvian language with Latvian keyboard layout.
Here are images how it looked in Tiger:
1) Before dead key is pressed:
http://amerix.no-ip.org/tmp/1.tiff
2) After dead key is pressed:
http://amerix.no-ip.org/tmp/2.tiff

ok, i got answer
so - first problem was that ukelele didn't work in leopard (it wasn't possible to start new layout), but it was possible to edit Tom Gewecke posted layout.
There it is possible to change every thing (dead-key as well).
So I edited it and now i have layout where dead-key works -
http://amerix.no-ip.org/tmp/LatvianT.keylayout
Just do what Tom Gewecke said with this layout. It should work!

Problems with fuction keys for brightness

i have laptop hp 15 r006tx Product number: G8D30PA#ACJ
i have problems with functions keys for brightness , actually it does't works i can't actually adjust brightness, please help me.....................

OK...
I was right. You have no graphics driver installed for the Intel HD graphics adapter.
I am very surprised you were able to install the nVidia driver because usually you get an error that states you need to install the Intel graphics driver first.
Once you install this driver, the Microsoft Basic Display adapter should be replaced by an Intel HD graphics adapter and you should be able to adjust the screen brightness.
Make sure you have installed this Intel chipset driver first and reboot. If you have done this already, you can skip this step.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-130504-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
Next, install the Intel HD graphics driver and reboot. This driver is for W8.1. If you installed W8, you need a different graphics driver.

Problem with a key figure restriction

Hi,
I have a problem with one key figure in report: in infocube, this key figure is aggrigated for all the profit centers (summation). In infocube, there is a value '150' for each profit centers (100 pieces) and in the report it is counting 150*100=15000. However, it shouldn't count the sum of all entries in the infocube but show only one value in the report which would be '150'.
I think this should be possible to do but I just don't know how. Hope somebody is able to help me. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If the values are same for all profit center then change the Profit center infoobject property in the query design to show the maximum values for the 'calculation result as' parameter

Problem with Internet Key Onda Mt835Up: It doesn't work with mac os 10.6.6

Hi I have a problem with internet key Onda MT835UP. It doesn't work, because my imac is more new than internet key.
Can you help me? Can you send me the upgrade for this internet key?
Thanks

I have called Onda, there isn't the driver for Mac OS X 10.6.7 and they don't know if it'll be released.
So if you have a Mac it's better to not buy Onda internet key,
instead it's better to choose other brands that update the drivers of their products.

Really really annoying problem with slooooow Adress Book

I have a really, really annoying problem with Address Book.
Ever since I connected it with the MobileMe service it has this problem, and I just cant get rid of it. I have tried logging out and back into the MobileMe service, resetting the sync history etc., but to no avail.
Each time I open the application it freezes for about 5 to 10 seconts, then that blooming annoying, Windows reminiscent, rotating rainbow circle appears for about a minute at a time. Then it goes away and the application works..........that is until try something demanding like adding a new group or changing a group name, then it starts over. It is making the Address Book almost unusable and very un-Mac-like.
Can someone please help???

Try deleting this plist:
(yourUserName)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
As well, the general approach at this time is to ask if you've checked for any problematic fonts (all languages) with Apple's Font Book (look in the Applications folder). Find and remove all duplicates also.
Start there to be sure all fonts that are in play come out with a clean bill of health.
Also, don't hesisate to perform wholesale deletion of old and/or little used fonts - be skeptical of anything that has come from Office 2008, including those related to an Equation Editor installation.
By all means be sure your 3rd party apps are Snow Leopard compatibl

Problems with Registration Key, VB 2008 Express Edition

VB 2008 Express Edition. Installed on a pc using Windows 8. Problem with registration key.
I was given an executable program by a colleague that had already been used and I am currently making changes to the program to fit the specifics of my project. Thirty days after I started analyzing/manipulating the code, when I tried to open the program
a pop-up came up that stated that I needed a registration key. When I click on the link on the pop-up to try to obtain a registration key, the link takes me to a page that states "the page doesn't exist" (http://www.microsoft.com/404.htm).
That said, instead of trying to obtain a registration key I then downloaded a new version of VB 2008 Express Edition from Microsoft DreamSpark. I successfully downloaded the program. The website stated that if I ever needed a registration key, I could obtain
it from within the program. However, even still, when I try to open up VB, the pop-up still comes up that states that I need a registration key.
Does anyone have any suggestions or quick fixes? Thanks

I'm not sure that registration keys are available any more for the 2008 version. There have been three versions since then (2010, 2012 and 2013) and a fourth (2015) is currently being previewed.
Is there any reason why you can use the current version? Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition is free for individuals and small companies.

Caps lock with shift key annoying symbol on desktop

just started getting on my upper right corner of desktop a cap lock symbol , an upward pointing fat arrow. it is annoying.
also got some non-response from my caps lock key. i accidently hit shift key on the right, and it all cleared up.
what's going on?

For the record, here's my solution:
This creates a custom key symbol to swap Caps and Shift:
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/custom
partial modifier_keys
xkb_symbols "swapcaps" {
replace key <CAPS> { [ Shift_L ] };
replace key <LFSH> { [ Caps_Lock ] };
This script prints a description of the keymap, adds the symbol to swap the two keys from that other file to the right line, and writes the new description to a temporary file... then compiles it!
/usr/local/bin/fixshift
#!/usr/bin/bash
setxkbmap -print | sed '/xkb_symbols/ { s/"/+custom(swapcaps)"/2 }' > /tmp/fixshift
xkbcomp /tmp/fixshift $DISPLAY > /dev/null 2>&1 &
Then I just set that program to run every time lightdm starts a session:
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
display-setup-script=/usr/local/bin/fixshift
greeter-setup-script=/usr/local/bin/fixshift
session-setup-script=/usr/local/bin/fixshift
And nothing more to it. Life is grand again.
