Any way to determine which app is causing a spike in my data usage, I've gone over my monthly limit?

In 2 separate 2 hour periods, my phone went through 500MB of data each period - pushing me close to my monthly limit on Verizon. I turned off Cellular Data completely, and have been trying to figure out what app is doing it. It seems to be something that happens quite suddenly, as I've noticed that the phone gets really hot. And no, I'm not streaming video, I don't have iTunes match, or any of those obvious issues.
So, I've downloaded Dataman, My Data Manager, and Onavo, but unfortunately, none of them allow you to see which apps are doing the data hogging. My Data Manager does allow me to see data usage on WiFi (the other 2 don't, assuming that all you care about is cellular data)....and it at least confirmed for me what I thought.....After a day of minimal data use, I suddenly had a spike of almost 20GB of data use in 1 hour. Yes, you heard it 20GB!!!! It's as if my entire iTunes music library was being downloaded (and no I don't have iTunes wifi sync enabled, and besides, I had just previously synced via USB, so there was nothing new to sync).
My guess is this is related to this:

Apple needs to figure this out -- Verizone needs to compensate all of us --
But in the meantime, does anyone have any ideas on how to figure out what apps/services are using the data?

GV2,
I'm glad Mrhelper was able to shed some light on this for you! In iPhones, the amount of data you're seeing under each app is for the "Current Period." Just above that list you'll see info about the Current Period and Current Period Roaming. This is just an overall snapshot of total data usage for that period of time. The Current Period does not reset on its own, so it will be counting everything from the last time you reset it through now. You can reset it by scrolling to the bottom and tapping on "Reset Statistics."
So, for example, if you reset your statistics 3 days ago and then there's 1GB used under App Store you'll know that over the last 3 days 1 GB of data has been used for the App Store.

Groups: any way to determine which contacts aren't part of one?

For 99% of my Addressbook entries I create them on my Mac and immediately put them into one of about 7 groups.
Occasionally, I create one on my iPhone and, as far as I know, groups cannot be assigned from there.
When I finally get back to my Mac, I have no idea which entries are not filed under a specific group.
Is there any way (short of remembering) to determine which Addressbook entries aren't part of a group?
Thanks!

Leopard has a new option for creating smart groups based on group membership. I don't have Leopard right in front of me at the moment, but this is basically what you do. Create a smart group, and add rules like "card is not member of (group)". You can add multiple rules like this and require that cards match all of the rules for this group in order to be displayed. If you have more questions about this feel free to send a reply.

HT201299 Is there any way to see what apps are consuming the iPad's cellular data?

The rapid usage of my cellular data and resulting drain on battery life has been a real issue since iOS6. If I disable cellular data, things improve dramatically. It would sure be nice to know who the culprit is. Any apps to help with this?
Thanks!

Never heard of one - the sandboxed nature of iOS would make it impossible to build an app to do so, since apps are isolated from each other and each others data.
All you can do is the trial and error method.
A couple of iOS features to check though, are
Settings - General - About - Advertising - Limit Ad tracking = ON
Settings - General - About - Diagnostics and Usage - DON'T SEND (checked)
Settings - General - About - Date and Time - Time Zone = OFF (uses location services to check if you've crossed a time zone - unnecessary use of location services if you are not travelling outside of any wifi or cell coverage)
Settings - General - Restrictions - Location Services - System Services - all OFF (these involve transmitting location based data out, ie. from your device).

How can I tell which app is causing my phone to vibrate

Hi,
My phone has srtarted vibrating randomly when on silent, and it makes the classic "do do do-xylephone" tri-tone, when not on silent, and I can't figure out which app is causing it. It's driving me nuts!
This used to happen to me months ago, then it just stopped for the longest time, and it started again.
This is with iOS7. 7.0.6 specifically. iPhone 5s.
I went into settings, notification center, and I have selected, sort by notifications view...by time and I heard that I can tell this way, by whatever app is listed first. Well, reminders is listed first and I don't have anything there that's supposed to go off randomly like my iPhone is doing. So that can't be it. Is there another way to tell?
Now, coincidentally, I had my iPhone on the desk while I had my mac open, with the twitter app open on the mac and I did notice the instant, a little dot appeared in twitter, to indicate a new tweet, my phone vibrated. I thought twitter could have been the issue, so I turned off any type of notification for twitter and that didn't seem to solve the issue as it happened again.
Any help is much appreciated. This is extremely annoying. I'd say it happens so erratically, that it can be twice within 15 minutes, or much more spaced out.

You will have to go to settings, notification center and scroll down the list to see wich apps you use notifications for that do no not use badge app icon. Most likely my guess is your email app because I had this issue. But still check the other apps also just in case.

Is there any way to determine if a link is a book mark or hyperlink in java script

Is there any way to determine if a link is a book mark or hyperlink in java script
Sub Problem:
I am making an array of quads of all the hyperlinks in a document. I would like to automatically skip over all the bookmarks in the starting pages of a document and just get the links of the hyperlinks.
Now I have to manually set the pages that contain bookmarks so they are not included in the array.
Is there any way to determine if a link is a book mark or hyperlink in java script?
It would help automate the conversion I need below
John
Main Problem:
I have been working on converting a set of pdf files with 1000’s of hyperlinks like www.site.com\folder1\file1.pdf#page=10
To jump to a local copy of the files with a relative type link
../folder1/file1.pdf and then go to the proper page.
I have found that it can be done manually by changing the hyperlink to a javascript
var otherDoc = app.openDoc('../folder1/file1.pdf', this);otherDoc.pageNum = 10 - 1;
and setting each destination file with a disclose()=true;
Based on the help so far that java script cannot access the hyperlink value in a link
See: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1039908?tstart=60
I have resorted to the following plan using acrobat javascript, an external keyboard macro recorder and excel in combination to get around the problem
Four folder level acrobat javascripts with “buttons”
One to get all the link quads in an array, in the pdf and report the total number
The second creates a form field in the far corner of the first page and moves there.
The third jumps to each link found by creating a form field just to the left of the link and zooms in so it can be selected by a “mouse click” from the keyboard macro recorder
The forth deletes the form field
The keyboard macro recorder runs javascript 2 and then 3 then clicks on the link just to the right of the middle of the screen and uses keys to get to the advanced editing to get to edit the hyperlink .
The hyperlink is then copied to excel where it is converted using string functions to the needed javascript text to be copied back.
To the acrobat file into a java script (after deleting the hyperlink)
Rinse/lather/repeat
I have been able to convert about 150 links an hour.
Better then hand typing, but not like having java access to the links.
I am looking to improve the solution

thanks for your help.
I may have been confusing a "acrobat bookmark" and a bookmark in a word file that is converted to a pdf and ends up being a
link of the type:
"Go to a page in this document"
which I do not want in my array vs
a link of the action type:
"Open a web link"
Which I do want
John
My code, note how I have to skip pages with "Go to a page in this document" links depending on the document, I would like to use the same code for each document and skip over the "Go to a page in this document" links :
global.ilinkindex = 1;
global.aLinkquads = [ [0, 1, 1, 0, 0],
       [0, 0, 0, 0, 0] ];
function GetLinkArray()
global.ilinkindex = 1;
var iTotalLinks=0;
// for ( var p = 0; p < this.numPages - 8 ; p++)                   // end before bookmarks for each page of the file x.pdf
// for ( var p = 0; p < this.numPages; p++)                     // for each page of the file
for ( var p = 23; p < this.numPages; p++)                     // start after bookmarks for each page of the file y.pdf
var cropbox = this.getPageBox("Crop", p);
var alinksonpage = this.getLinks(p, cropbox);            // get array of links on page
for ( var ll = 0; ll < alinksonpage.length; ll++)
   var linkquads = alinksonpage[ll].rect;     // get link Quads
   linkquads[4] = p;          // add page number to link Quads array
    global.aLinkquads[global.ilinkindex] = linkquads; // add quads to global link Quads array
    global.ilinkindex++;
iTotalLinks = global.aLinkquads.length - 1;
global.ilinkindex = 1;
app.alert("Number of Links in Document is " + iTotalLinks );

Any way to tell which module the user is in?

Although I try to avoid it, I occasionally find myself writing plugins that do menu manipulation and other keystroke emissions that depend on module.
It would be great if there was a way, *any* way, to tell which module is active - even if it entailed sending keystrokes and testing response...
~R.

Hey jarnoh,
Maybe the module name in the window title only disappears when the app loses focus. I thought I'd seen it disappear at other times too, but I could be mistaken. (seems to have nothing to do with startup - my mistake).
UPDATE: caught it: If I minimize Lightroom, then maximize it, the window title just says "Lightroom" (no module name). Some places I click, e.g. on a photo, it doesn't change, other places I click - it changes to show the module name.
Thanks,
Rob

Is there any way to tell which formulas a particular cell is in, reverse look-up style? That is, is there a way to search somehow for which formulas in a sheet contain a particular cell in them without opening all of them up? If not, it would be nice

Is there any way to tell which formulas a particular cell is in, reverse look-up style? That is, is there a way to search somehow for which formulas in a sheet contain a particular cell in them without opening all of them up? If not, it would be nice.
I'm fixing a Numbers document that I use in business daily that's become overly complicated, but while I want to clear/delete a number of cells in it to clean it up, I'm not sure if those cells are being used as source for other formulas on the page. I don't have to open all my formulas one by one to see if that cell is in there, do I?! That'd be a huge amount of work if I wanted to eliminate say 10 cells to search each formula on the page to see if it is in there or watch all the cells when I delete that cell to see if the numbers change! There's got to be an easier way! Right click doesn't seem to be any help.
I don't want to damage my daily tool to make it cleaner and reorganize it. Is there really no way to do a reverse look-up of which formulas a particular cell is in?! Any time I click on a formula it highlights all the CELLS in that formula. Why can't I (or can I?) do the reverse and see all the FORMULAS that contain a particular cell?
As a Numbers document ages or gets used frequently, you can sometimes forget which cells are tied to which formulas. You just look for the results of your formulas. Would be a nice thing to be able to do. Thoughts? Work-arounds? Answers?

Answer would be no unless application provided such feature. Numbers does not as far as I know.
Note that even if you have complete list of formulae used in a table, identifying formulae referencing any given cell is not simple.
E.g., cell T20 is referenced not only in
=T20+1
but also in
=SUM(T)
=SUM(20:20)
=SUM(S19:U22)
=OFFSET(S1,19,1,1,1)
=INDIRECT("T"&(10*2))
In order to identify such formula, we have to actually evaluate it to see if it references the given cell. Especially such formula as OFFSET() and INDIRECT() may not be found by static parser because their parameters can be dynamic.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings.

Is there any way to stop an app from updating? I accidently hit update all, and have an app I don't want updated.

Is there any way to stop an app from updating? I accidently hit "update all" and have an app i don't want updated. Thanks

you can't reverse the process, once you accepted there is no other way, if you sync it to your itunes library in your computer it will automatically update the updated app as well.
What you can try though is delete the app from your iPad and try syncing it to your itunes library but if you set up iCloud it may update the app automatically

On iPhoto you can click info and see which camera was the source for the photograph, is there any way to identify which camera took the video on iMovie?

Is there a way to determine which camera was the source for video clips in iMovie? You can do this in iPhoto by clicking info but I can't find out how to do it in iMovie.

Not as far as I know. (you can often tell from the file name format).

Is there a way to determine which rows are inserted in JDT1 table by the system automatically?

Hi,
Is there a way to determine which rows are inserted in JDT1 table by the system automatically? Example, many GLs which are mapped in GL Account Determination, like Foreign Exchange Gain / Loss, Rounding Account, etc. are inserted by the system automatically in the Journal Entry on various scenarios, like during Incoming Payment, etc.
Which SQL query can give me those rows? Basically the WHERE condition should be based on which column or multiple columns in JDT1 table?
Thanks.

Hi Rajesh,
I'm not entirely sure but I think the TransId is the same in the header that belongs to the transaction.
OINV.TransId = JDT1.TransId
Best regards,
Pedro Magueija

Is there any Way to find Which case is Executing in LabVIEW VI programmatically and Display it..

Is there any Way to find Which case is Executing in LabVIEW VI programmatically and Display it..
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I wrote this a few years ago: http://lavag.org/files/file/199-state-machine-follower/
This JKI RCF Plugin sets the Visible Frame property of a Case Structure while the owning VI is running. Use it to follow the execution through the cases in your string-based State Machine/Sequencer when Execution Highlighting isn't fast enough (and, it's never fast enough).
The use-case I wrote this to improve is setting a Breakpoint on the Error wire coming out of the main Case Structure and probing the Case Selector terminal so I can float-probe wires during execution. The problem with this is that I had to manually select the current frame every time. This is boring, so I developed this plugin to automatically set the Visible Frame to the case most recently executed.
You might be able to adapt it to your needs. The basic idea is that a custom probe on the wire to the Case structure's selection terminal sends a notification to a VI that displays the appropriate case.
We might be able to help you develop something easier if you'll give us more information. Is it OK if the code to display the case is in the same VI?
