Blackberry Accessibility, functions and features

An accessibility enhancement which would benefit both the Blackberry Screen Reader user and even the sighted, would be the incorporation of VCR type controls integrated with the Trackpad providing cursor type navigation control for left, right, up and down movements. This enhancement would also be highly beneficial to anyone who has a physical disability causing motor control issues.

I do PowerPoint presentations very often... it is a pain to bring a pointer, and have the pointer work at every business meeting. it would be grand to have a pointer bulit-in with smart phone.

Blackberry Assistant, function and features

When using the blackberry Assistant to dictate a E-mail or message, is it possible to insert a line break?
Also is it possible to control or adjust the punctuation being inserted/use? For example, when you say double quote the assistant inserts the HTML #quote; tag verses simply the " symbol.
Also, is there a reference document of the possible Assistant commands that can be used? Its impossible to click or tap on the info "?" icon when you can't see it.

Blackberry Accessibility, function and features

to enhance accessibility within the Adobe Reader App, shortcut key definitions for the previous and Next page buttons or Icons would be highly beneficial for scrolling through the document by those using the blackberry Screen reader.

It's strange, I can't imagine your phone doesn't have such a function. The only thing I can suggest is to install some official firmware to your phone or to find someone who can do it for you. Just to inform you, I have 10.2.1.2941 firmware, phone type sqn100-3. Maybe your phone is of another type. Sqn100-3 means the phone is for Russian communication standarts, but it hardly has anything to do with built-in functions like screen-reader. Here is a link to site with firmware http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-OS10-devices-using... (latest firmware on your phone For Q10 models SQN100-1, -2, -3, -4, -5 (all): Download 10.2.1.3253) , but there're many sites like this in the internet. Remember to do any changes to firmware at your own risk. Maybe it's better to contact some local experts in your area. I hope it will help you

Which functions and features in Numbers are NOT exported correctly to Excel?

I wish to know EXACTLY which functions I use in a Numbers sheet WILL FAIL to export correctly to an Excel or Neoffice spreadsheet.
For instance, I created a Numbers spreadsheet using prolific use of the IFERROR function. However, when I EXPORT to XLS, all the cells that used the IFERROR function were replaced by the literal value of the cell. My IFERROR formulae were not EXPORTED as I had expected.
I note that some formulae were converted correctly in my EXPORTED spreadsheet: eg MAX, MIN, AVERAGE.
I understand that IFERROR was a function introduced recently to Excel, ie in the 2007 version. Consequently, I suspect that Numbers exports to a pre-2007 version of Excel. If so, which version?
I have found this list that shows which functions are compatable amongst various versions of Excel:
Excel Functions: Compatibility Reference (2010, 2007 & 2003). (n.d.). Retrieved from https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AsHau4_IeCfwdG45c0VhcjBBUGNreVo2ZzN NRU1BT0E#gid=0
This list shows that, for instance, IFERROR exisits inb both Excel 2007 and Numbers-09. So why is IFERROR not exported?
Curmi, J. (n.d.). Summary of function in excel and numbers-09. Retrieved from http://curmi.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/functions-in-excel-and-numbers- 09.pdf
Some examples of my use of ISERROR in Numbers are as follows:
=IFERROR(RANK(C47,$C47:$J47,1),"")
=IFERROR(MEDIAN(C51:C58),"")
=IFERROR($C32-C88+1,"")
I use the above function to carry out the calculation ONLY IF a cell is non-blank and contains a number.
More questions
What are the rules that Numbers uses to convert to Excel?
Is Numbers converting to the 2003 version of Excel? ... or an earlier version? ... which version?
Why desn't Numbers advise me there were conversion errors or simplifications made?
eg: "Cell A33 Function IFERROR was exported to the cell value for Excel"
Is there a preference that I can select which version of Excel that Numbers will export to?
In the meantime, I must abandon Numbers and use NeoOffice!

Thanks,
I applied your suggested ISERROR transformation to examples such as:
=IFERROR(RANK(C47,$C47:$J47,1),"")
=IFERROR(MEDIAN(C51:C58),"")
=IFERROR($C32-C88+1,"")
However, a caution for young players....
Certainly, the ISERROR function exports to .xls. However, it behaves differently in NeoOffice.
Items 1 and 2 function identically in the case of say, ranking a row in which some cells are blanks.
Item 3, when translated using ISERROR to =IF(ISERROR(C32-C88+1),"", C32-C88+1), results in "" (ie error is raised) in Numbers but yields figure 0 in NeoOffice when there is a blank in either of the cells.
I recall from programming school in the mid-1970s that using GOTO statements and On Error branch statements were not admissible as routine programming steps. In fact, we received an automatic fail grade if we used a GOTO or GOTO like construction. So, I have found a more programmatically elegant way to solve my problem: eg:
=IF(C88="","",C32-C88+1)
Curiously, earlier I found/suspect this does not work equivalently in Numbers and NeoOffice:
=IF(ISBLANK(C88),"",C32-C88+1)
When you try using ISBLANK you always get an intuitively unexpected result because ISBLANK ONLY gives TRUE when there is absolutely nothing in a cell. A Formula reference in the cell, even if the function result yields "", gives FALSE... because, according to the definition of ISBLANK the cell contains a formula.
As I tell my students, ALWAYS lookup the HELP on any function you use. ALWAYS test the function to see how it performs!.... and lesson 3: Always test your spreadsheet on different systems.... then hope!
FYI:
Here's a link to my Spreadsheet (Neoffice .xls) and a video explaining its use.

ITunes has slowed...every function and feature...

I am having a real problem with iTunes that seems to have started when I installed the iLife 08 package and following the most recent iTunes update. I have searched the forums and support and can't find a clue. All functions appear to be slowed to a frustrating crawl. I feel like I am back to my old Mac Plus...nothing cooks like it did.
It takes 8 seconds to drop any menu and 18 to 45 seconds to quit. Selecting any title on any list is activated 10 seconds or more after the mouse clik. Dragging to the iPod is so slow that I can't tell when I have accomplished it. Every operation has slowed down by what seems to be 80 or 90%
All the problems are on the G5Tower and the MacBook is unaffected.
I have seen so much of the spinning rainbow I thing my color blindness has been cured. I am going nuts...please help.

I'd say go to Activity Monitor and see what processes are in effect and see what's bogging down the CPU, From there you can kill any app that's hanging or depleting CPU resources. If all checks out well, Then a clean install of the OS is the next step.

Hi,
I have trouble with my iPhone 4g, or at least I think so... I have no Accessibility function on it, is it normal, or is there something wrong with my phone? I updated my iPhone to ios7 today is it possible that that update may have deleated the function?
My iPad 4 - Retina have a volume button that doesn't work, so that's accually why I'm consurned. It has the accessibility function, and I need it, because otherwise I can't play music ect. If I update my iPad to ios7 will that function disappear?
Thanks for the help

That should already be in your itunes media library. Sync your phone to itunes.

Why is the scroll function not working after accessing the voice feature in settings?

Why is the scroll function not working after accessing the voice feature in settings?

For some prerecorded audio files the Transpose slider will not work reliably. I found no clear pattern, when it does and when not.
If all fails, create a loop from the audio file. Select the region in the track and use the command "File: Add region to Loop library".
Set the current key and tempo, name the loop, and save the loop.
Now add it from the loop browser to a new track and delete your old track. The search field in the Loop browser will help you to find the loop quickly.
You will be able to transpose the sample as described above, like a regular loop.
For example - a audio file turned into a loop and transposed:

I am getting a no service message although I am able to access emails and other features. My ibooks dropped all in the library.

I am getting a "no service" message in the upper left corner although I have access to all features. I did, however, lose the books in my ibooks library.

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

I have just sought to update my lightroom and am now unable to access the develop function and get a note stating that I have reduced functionality what it this about and how do I get my product back

Hi there
I have version 5.7 and every time I opened it I was told that updates are available and to click on the icon to access these. Instead it just took me to the
adobe page with nowhere visible to update. I then sought to download lightroom cc and this is when I could not access the 'develop' section due to reduced
functionality It was apparent that my photos had been put in cc but no way to access them unless I wanted to subscribe.
I have since remedied the problem as my original lightroom 5.7 icon is still available on the desktop and have gone back to that. I do feel that this is a bit
of a rip off and an unnecessary waste of my time though.
Thank you for your prompt reply by the way.
Carlo

HT1218 After a recent iTunes update attempt iTunes no longer functions and the airport extreme base station is not accessable on our computer. We still have wifi but cannot access the base station software.

After a recent iTunes update attempt iTunes no longer functions and the airport extreme base station is not accessable on our computer. We still have wifi but cannot access the base station software.

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the response. I tried that approach this evening and it didn't work for me. (Technically it worked for me, when I was hardwired into my base station, but would not work for me wirelessly, which is my main issue.)
Again, using the approach you recommended works only if I have my ethernet cable attached to the LAN port so my computer is communicating directly to the base station through the hard wire. I am able to scan for my base station and make setting adjustments normally this way too.
As soon as I disconnect from the LAN port and try to go wireless is where I run into problems. The Base Station's wireless network I created is available to choose in the top right corner of the monitor with all of the other available wireless devices/networks -- but the network I created does not have access to the internet. I am also unable to configure my Base Station wirelessly. When my Airport Utility tries to scan for the Base Station and Network, it cannot find any Apple Wireless Device. It's like the Wireless Network in my base station is not sending out a signal.
Is there a way to resolve this issue?

Hello,
The services you listed in your post will require a data plan which is provisioned by your wireless provider. You may want to contact your wireless provider to see if you have the correct plan.

Accessing variables and functions between loaded external swfs?

Using AS 3.0: Say I have a menu.swf that loads a content.swf
below it using the following
var newContent:Loader = new Loader();
newContent.load(new URLRequest("fowContent.swf"));
addChildAt(newContent,0);
Now say I have a frame label in newContent that is an
animation ending the display of that swf. Upon clicking of another
menu button in menu.swf, can I access the content's ending sequence
by:
newContent.gotoAndPlay(newContent.endingSequence);
Also can you use while loops in AS 3.0? I would like to have
a boolean variable "ended" in the newContent that becomes true
after the ending animation has played.
while ( newContent.ended != true)
//wait
then have it run the function to load and display the new
content.swf

Thank you very much for the help.
Would I need to declare a MovieClip variable before using
that statement or does that automatically cast newContent as a
movieclip and go to the frame?
So in order to achieve the flow I'm looking for.
I'll have this in the menu.swf looking for clicks. It will
run a function in the content.swf that runs the ending sequence and
receives a string variable which is a concatenation of the
buttonclicked (which is also the filename of next content) and
.swf. (can I cast the event.target.name into a string the same way
you casted the other into a movieclip?)
function buttonClick(event:MouseEvent):void //in the menu.swf
var nextFile:string = string(event.target.name) + ".swf";
MovieClip(newContent.contentLoaderInfo.content).endSequence(nextFile)
fowContent.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);
In the content.swf I will have a public variable nextContent
and the function that the menu.swf calls, which begins the ending
sequence.
public var nextContent:string;
function endSequence(nextFile:string)
nextContent = nextFile;
gotoAndPlay(endingSequence);
Then at the end of the movie sequence I could call this
function that passes back the variable that was modified by the
previous function and runs the loader.
parent.loadNext(nextContent) //in the content.swf
function loadNext(nextContent:string) //function in menu.swf
newContent.load(new URLRequest(nextContent));
addChildAt(newContent,0);
I'm sure theres a better way to do this, and I don't even
know if this will work. But I'd like to make sure it makes sense
before I try to implement it.

Planning function and planning sequence of Design studio new features!!

Hi Experts
Recently I have updated my design studio to 1.3 and happy to see many new updates. Meanwhile i saw some new features add planning function and planning sequence.
As per my understanding, Using this features we can enter data at run time. My query is here
Is it like we are entering data at run time and see the changes in current data(chart series)
Ex: Add discount for product 10% and relevant data(in chart) reduced to 10%
or
Is it like integrated planning? Once we enter data in run time and it saves in BW planning cube?
I am totally confused with this feature.. Can any one help me to get clear understanding on this please !
Regards,
Mathivanan M

Hi,
maybe these two article can help you:
#1 Planning in Design Studio 1.3
#2 Planning in DS 1.3 - Using different script methods for planning
As i unterstand, it's only possible to write back in BW.
Best Regards
Sebastian

Is there api function to change access mode and set a passcode to recording in meeting?

Is there api function to change access mode and set a passcode to recording in meeting?
When I'm trying to use "action=acl-field-update&acl-id=SCO_ID_RECORDING&field-id=meeting-passcode&value=MY_PASSC ODE" it just clean the password and do not set it or change.
And "action=permissions-update&acl-id=SCO_ID_RECORDING&principal-id=public-access&permission- id=view-hidden" do not work too.

There is not a specific API for doing this. This was discussed in the other Connect forum here, Adobe Connect User Community.
For you call I would make the second part differently. Instead of 'field-id=meeting-passcode&value=MY_PASSCODE' I would call 'meeting-passcode=MY_PASSCODE' and see if that worked better.
