Can an iPad have malware that gets passed to a computer?
I did something we are all warned not to. I was using the iPad to check email, had an email from someone I didn't know, I stupidly clicked on a link and it took me to some Russian site. Anyway I suspect it was a site that would have installed malware had I not been on the iPad. This happened few weeks ago and the iPad has been fine. I am told an iPad can't get a virus or malware. I am a little worried that next time I backup the iPad with the computer that my computer might get infected.
Is this at all possible? The iPad almost being a Typhoid Mary and the computer getting infected?

Anything is possible, but the fact that the iPad cannot run Java or Flash or other potential vectors for malware intrusion, and that every app it runs is downloaded from Apple, as well as other iOS features that protect itself from modification, makes it extremely unlikely it can be corrupted by malware.
If you have a Windows PC it requires its own malware protection. It can intrude from a number of sources but the iPad should be the least of your concerns.

Can we have triggers that get fired when we Query a table?
Hi All,
What could be the pricise answer to the following question?
1. Can we have triggers that get fired when we Query a table?
2. What the relation of triggers and delete, truncate statement in one line?
3. What is data modelling? Why is it necessary?
4. Which are not mandatory but essential files in Oracle?
Regards,
AAK1. Can we have triggers that get fired when we Query a table?for INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE statement, yes
for SELECT statement, no.
Question 2 is not clear for me.
Question 3 is very very general ...
4 >Which are not mandatory but essential files in Oracle?
all database files (initialization file, control files, datafiles, redo log files) are mandatory. What is not mandatory but considered as a (very) bad practice is
to have only 1 control file and only 1 redo log group with 1 redo log file. -

How can I deactivate Adobe apps that were installed on a computer that is no longer available?
How can I deactivate Adobe apps that were installed on a computer that is no longer available? I have a Creative Cloud membership, and I want to deactivate a device that is no longer available. I would have thought that there would be an option to deactivate all devices somewhere in My Account, but I can't find it.
Hi acornies,
There is no such option readily available under which you are able to deactivate the product on all the devices . As per the EULA , you are able to install the product on two machines only and once you try to have the product installed on a third machine that would provide you with an error message and an option to deactivate the products on all the previous installation .
So , if the machine that you would be installing the product onto is going to be your third machine , you will be getting an error message that you have reached your activation limit and there would be a button to click on continue to deactivate all the prev installation .
Please let me know if this works for you .

How can I edit a file that was scanned to my computer?
Hi jwt32068,
In order to help you.
Please let me know which application/Service of Adobe you are using.
You may be able to do that depends on quality of scanned document using Acrobat Pro.

I mistakenly moved my apple keyboard layout bundle to the trash can and now I am unable to log onto my computer. I can't type anything so I can't access my account to get back onto my computer.
restart and hold Command+r to enter in recovery mode and ill allow you to repair your OS X installation. If you cannot repair it, then just create a new user, as usually issues with keyboards are rooted in the user's account.
Good luck -
If i download a song on my iPad, how do i get it onto my computer?
i downloaded a song on my iPad and it worked fine, but i assumed that because i use the same itunes account on my computer it would automatically download the song onto my computer iTunes as well. This was not the case and I'm not really sure what to do? Do i have to repurchase the item on my computer as well..?
You can either connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Transfer Purchases. Or, depending on which country that you are in, you might be able to re-download it on your computer's iTunes and for future purchases be able to use automatic downloads.

Why can I no longer download my seasonal pass to the computer?
Why can no longer download my seasonal pass to the computer?
Make sure you're using the same Apple ID that you used to purchase the season pass by clicking iTunes > Store > View Account. Also, check for Available Downloads in the same menu.
If you aren't sure how to complete your Season Pass downloads, see this Apple doc -> iTunes Store: Download options when purchasing TV seasons, Season Passes, Multi-Passes, movie bundles, music box sets, or individual movies or TV episodes -
Can two people with two ipod touches have different itunes accounts on the same computer ??
Yes but you they have to setup 2 different user accounts on the same computer.

You cannot have command as the datasource with parameters that get passed?
I wrote a Crystal Report using a SQL command shown below. The SQL in effect creates a table called Command with the specified fields. This CR works exactly as we requested. Now I am told that they are using some kind of Interface, written in VB6, not sure exactly of all this, but that it cannot accept this Command as the datasource. The developer says that the interface is expecting SQL Server tables. Does this sound right? The interface is a repository of all reports with parameters.

I've used the SQL Command quite a bit in Crystal. It simply replaces the SQL that Crystal would create for your Designer query with the SQL you specify in the Command. Therefore I would not expect using Command to make any difference. So I suspect the problem lies elsewhere - e.g. is the report being called correctly and are the correct parameters and database login credentials being passed? -
Hello, I wanted to see if you can control which columns from a query get written to a excel spreadsheet. I have some items in my query that I do not want in the spreadsheet but need for my query, if that makes sense.
Thanks.
SteveThere are no parameters in the cfSpreadsheet tag to choose specific columns, however you can use a query of queries (About Query of Queries - ColdFusion English Documentation - Adobe Learning Resources) to get a query object with a subset of columns to pass to the tag.

If I restore my iPad mini will that get rid of ISO7?
I just installed it and I dislike it very much! Can I restore my iPad to its original state and get rid of iso7? Thanks!
Ok..... I just really dislike the way it looks now! It reminds me too much of windows 8 appearance, which is really don't like! That's why I bought an iPad. Apple I am very disappointed in the new look you've created.

In the end i'm getting 15 Bitmaps in localImages.
localImages is Bitmap[]
The method get a Bitmap and the Bitmap pixel format is: Format8bppIndexed
I want that in the end the 15 Bitmaps in localImages will be also pixel format of Format8bppIndexed.
The problem is that if i change everywhere in the method from: PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb to PixelFormat.Format8bppIndexed
I'm getting exception on the line:
pArray[a + b * bmDataArray.Width] = color2.ToArgb();

Line 469 is: pArray[a + b * bmDataArray.Width] = color2.ToArgb();Thorsten Hi,
Too complicated for me i will try to look on it.
Also if you will have time later maybe you could look at it too ?
For now what i tried was to get the returned 15 new Bitmaps to a local array:
bitmaps = ImagesComparison.get_images_with_clouds(b1);
for (int i = 0; i < bitmaps.Length; i++)
ConvertTo1or8Bit.ColorToGrayscale(bitmaps[i]);
break;
Then make a convertion with a new class trying to convert the Bitmaps to 8 bit in the memory without saving them first to the hard disk. This is the new class:

//No need to convert formats if already in 8 bit
if (pfIn == PixelFormat.Format8bppIndexed)
output = (Bitmap)bmp.Clone();
//Make sure the palette is a grayscale palette and not some other

But they are still 32 bit. So i guess i didn't realy understand yet how to do it. -
I gave my 2010 iMac to my father but it has a nonfunctioning disc drive (cannot read any type of disc). It's operating on OS X 10.5 Leopard. We need to upgrade him to at least OS X 10.7 Lion, but judging by what I've read so far, we cannot do that without first installing OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. I cannot find a way to download OS X 10.6, and having the disc shipped is not an ideal option. Does anyone know of a way I can download a legit copy? Another option — though I'm not sure it'll work — is to order the OS X 10.6 disc, transfer the files from the disc to a USB key on my newer Macbook Pro, then bring it over to my dad and install it on his iMac from the USB key. Does anyone have experience with this who knows if it will work or not? Thank you!
