Curly braces {} and | on ibook g4 1GHz Tiger

I own iBook G4 (14-inch Early 2004) 1GHz as of recently. I just installed MAC OS X Tiger on it. And I want to use it for PHP/HTML/CSS coding. But I can't find curly braces {} or a | on a keyboard? I use English setings. It's a European model ibook (I think originaly from Germany or Switzerland). Any help would be much apperciated. Thank you in advance!

If you check and set the Keyboard Viewer so it is accessible in the finder main menu bar, plus consider having the Character pallette also appear, then these can help show what kinds of alternative keyfaces are available. However the ones on the keyboard may vary, their positions would be correct in the Keyboard Viewer in another language you can chose to use in settings.
Good luck & happy computing!

Auto closing curly braces

Is there any options in Dreamweaver 8 that is capable of auto
closing curly braces and parenthesis like I see in a lot of code
editors. I'm trying to use the coding environment. Thanks.

Nope. Please suggest this to the dev team, though -

Curly Brace Shape

Hi!
I was preparing a presentation with Keynote08 and wanted to introduce a big curly brace, } .
The idea is to gather several line of text, an enumeration, under the curly brace and place beside another line of text.
To my surprise I couldn't see it in the shape menu. In Openoffice Impress for example this is very common.
Do you know how to create a shape of a curly brace?

Welcome to the forums!
Is there a reason you are not simply using a typed big curly brace? If placed in a text box it can be rotated, and you will have access to all the different curly braces that the fonts on your machine have.
The one downside of this approach is that to resize the brace you have to change the font size. However, you can also create an easily-resizable version using Ken Drake's very nifty Preview Passthru procedure: a) type the symbol in a new text box, b) select and copy the text box (not just the text), c) open the Preview application, d) from the File menu choose "New from Clipboard", e) save the resulting image as a PDF, and f) insert the saved file into your slide. You should now have a PDF image of the symbol that can be resized very easily without losing any resolution.

Preview issue (native and embedded via Safari) wth cut-paste and nested curly braces

Environment:
    OS X 10.6.8
    Preview 5.0.3 (504.1)
    Updates: current as of 0800 CDT 24 Jul 2011
         -- updates issued on 24 Jul 2011 are being applied but the changelog(s) do not mention this issue
    Any PDF document containing code fragments which have more than 1 level of curly-brace
Issue:
    Pasted text copied from PDF files is produced with lines out of order, line wrap and string breaks
    in unexpected locations, and partial lines appended in unexpected ways. This appears to be an
    issue with Preview since it can be reproduced by opening appropriate PDF content either in Preview
    or Safari with the canonical Preview support for PDF documents.
To Reproduce:
    1. Open the PDF with Preview or Safari
     2. Position and size the viewing window to avoid any display-pane-induced line wrapping.
    2. Drag-select the code block and paste into another document, the following have been tried with identical results:
        - OpenOffice (writer) 3.3.0 (OOO330m20 Build 9567)
         - Terminal 2.1.2 (273.1) (into a vi session in "insert" mode)
Results:
    1. Original end-of-line positions are not preserved.
    2. Line-wrap not preserved in original *or* visual aspects.
    3. Lines trailing the first closing curly brace for the first curly brace pair at greater than nesting=2 are out of order.

               x="10" y="10" />
          </svg:svg>
          <body>
Copying this text from PDF form -- either in Preview or in Safari wth Preview doing the heavy lifting -- and pasting into a Terminal window running 'vi' in "insert" mode yields this:

          </svg:svg> </body>
NOTE THAT LINE SEQUENCE 3-4-5-6 OF THE PASTED TEXT CORRESPONDS TO LINES 6-21-20-22 OF THE ORIGINAL TEXT.

Shocking.
But best to let Apple know of any issues. We're just users here.

Is curly brace syntax and OPTIONAL realy enabled in Oracle 11g? (11.1.0.7)

I have just installed Oracle 11g patchset to upgrade from 11.1.0.6 to 11.1.0.7.

Can I connect a macbook pro and an ibook g4 via ethernet with ibook in target disc mode?

Well, that's the question, really. I just bought a refurb macbook pro as an upgrade for my sister's elderly ibook - which has been a great computer, but which can't run any system newer than Tiger, and which has an extremely crowded hard drive. We began setting up the new computer last night, and got to where we were instructed to use migration assitant to transfer files from the old machine. This is where things fell apart.
1. Although both machines were on my sister's wireless network, the macbook pro did not see the ibook.
2. When we tried to connect the machines via firewire, we had a new problem - our particular macbook pro does not have a firewire 400 port. Same problem when we thought of connecting my sister's extermal verbatim drive. The macbook pro recognized the drive when we connected via USB, but, after asking if we wanted to use Verbatim for Time Machine, it didn't seem to see it when we answered "Not now".
I have ordered an adapter for our firewire cable, but, in the meantime, I have an ethernet cable at home which I used to transfer data from my older iMac G3 to an eMac. Can I use this cable while putting my sister's ibook into target disc mode, or must I wait for the connector? It is VERY frustrating having such a hard time moving information from one Mac to another. I've been a Mac fan (and evangelist) for years because Macs are generally easy and reliable. But now we're stuck.
I've been reading the boards and understand that target disc mode is the way to go, since we can't use migration assitant to move files between an Intel machine and a PPC. The new macbook pro is running Lion, while the old iBook is running Tiger 10.4.11. Neither of us has any experience with Lion, though we've both used Macs for many years.
TIA!

Thanks, Niel! As it turned out, I had a LaCie rugged drive at my place which had both Firewire 400 and Firewire 800 connections and cables. So I hooked it up to the old iBook, pulled my sister's stuff onto it as instructed in the ppc to intel thread, and then hooked it up to the Macbook Pro. Problem solved! - almost. We did have two issues:
1. My sister has a lot of music - more than 12 gigs were on the iBook's hard drive, but only about 6 made it onto the Macbook Pro. Why is that? I also got a message, when I was trying to move the music folder from the old library onto the new one, that OS X needed this folder and it couldn't be modified. Again, why is that? How, then, do you move files from a PPC to a machine running Lion? Again, a lot of her music files did make it over, but not all of them.
2. All her photos did seem to come over - in duplicate, maybe even in triplicate. That is so annoying! The same thing happened to me when I was migrating between my old eMac G4 and my iMac G5. Why on earth does iPhoto do this, and how can we make it stop?!
But we did manage to get a lot of her stuff onto the new machine. When we get the adapter, she'll be able to add the files that are on the Verbatim drive. You've been very helpful!

To see if a file has balanced curly braces, square brackets

I am writing this class (along with other files that are in a package) to insert characters in a linkedlist and to see if the curly braces, square brackets and parentheses are balanced. For example something like this( I need to have line numbers also );
1. This file is balanced with curly braces, square brackets
2. and parentheses: {}, [] and (). These
3. characters are not required to balance inside
4. quoted strings. E.g., "){[[]".
Input is balanced.
I am not doing it right and that is where I need help or a way to lead me to a solution. I am going crazy, I am losing it....any good idea will help.import java.io.*;
import java.util.StringTokenizer;
class balance
public static void main(String arg[])
     Queue word = new Queue();
      int index = 0;
     LinkedList itr = new LinkedList();
     LinkedList size = new LinkedList();
        try
            FileReader fr = new FileReader (arg[0]);
            BufferedReader inFile = new BufferedReader(fr);
            String line = inFile.readLine();
             while(line != null)
                line = inFile.readLine();
                   while(size >= line.length() && line.charAt(index) != ' ')
                     Sentence.insert (new Character(line.charAt(index)));
                     index++;
                   while(!Sentence.empty( ))
                            while( itr != null )&& itr.equals( "{" ) || itr.equals( "}"))
                   System.out.print (((Character)Sentence.remove()).charValue());
                   System.out.print (" ");
                    index++;
            inFile.close();
       catch ( Exception e )
        { System.out.println( e ); }
      System.exit(0);
}

A fairly easy way is to have one counter variable per bracket-set you want to test for balance and count this vairable up each time you meet an opening bracket (outside a qouted string) and down each time you meet a closing bracket (also outside a qouted string)...
If these counters does not finish with having their initial values (eg. zero) the one set not balanced is the one whose counter variable is not zero (positive for too many opening brackets, negative for too many closing brackets)
eg.
int countSquareBrackets = 0;
int countCurlyBrackets = 0;
int countParenthesis = 0;
if (/*not in string*/)
switch (line.charAt(index)) {
case '[': ++countSquareBrackets; break;
case ']': --countSquareBrackets; break;
case '{': ++countCurlyBrackets; break;
case '}': --countCurlyBrackets; break;
case '(': ++countParenthesis; break;
case ')': --countParenthesis; break;
Hope it leads you closer to a solution,

Flash Builder 4.5 - auto closing curly brace

Hey,
Is there any method to turn off closing curly braces when you write a function, conditional... ?

I discovered my problem was uid seems to be a built in global or something and was filling in that data field with a bunch of letters and number, like the device id. Because of the letters flex was throwing a fit. So if you're using Facebook API in flex be sure to not go with uid for the user id, which is was facebook api calls it.

Leopard on iBook G4 1GHz

I am about to invest in 1GB of memory upgrade for my trusty iBook G4 1GHz, which means officially my system will rum Leopard. I want to here peoples experiences and opinions of how good the experience is though. Are iBook G4 people enjoying Leopard on their machines?
Without the memory upgrade I am running at 256mb of RAM and my 10.4 system is very slow, I have never really used Dashboard because of the speed, multitasking and using spotlight have made me a very patient person. I want to know if running 1025mb of RAM and Leopard would be a pleasent experience?
I know FrontRow and PhotoBooth will be not usable which does not bother me. It surprised me that DVD Player recommends 1.6 GHz processor or greater, but is not an issue as I use VLC Player most of the time.
I also noticed that iChat will restrict me to a resolution of 160x120; then again I never did use iChat.
Any thoughts or reviews would be much appreciated.
Kindest regards.

HI Jaime,
One very important thing to keep in mind before installing Leopard is that it requires 9GB of available drive space. If your iBookG4 has the factory drive, I believe it's 60GB ?? Just make sure you have sufficient available space. An easy way to view this information is to open Disk Utility from the Applications/Utilities folder. Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left. Click the First Aid Button.
Now, look down toward the bottom of the window, it will say: Capacity and Available. Another way to keep an eye on free drive space is to open a Finder window. That info is displayed that the bottom.

Upgrading from ibook g4 to Tiger

I recently decided to help my girlfriend upgrade her ibook g4's OS to Tiger, since she's running 10.3.9 and can't update to the newest version of iTunes. I made sure her computer met all the necessary technical requirements as per apple's website, then proceeded to buy the OS on ebay. When the disks came I noticed that they read "Macbook install disk", but since apple's website hadn't made any differentiation between a macbook and an ibook on its' requirements page I didn't think too much of it. I backed the computer up and then attempted to install the new OS. After shutting down and restarting, the normal grey apple screen came on, but after a couple seconds a large display appearead which read "Your computer needs to be restarted, etc.", and over this screen was all sorts of fragmented code, including a message saying a driver couldn't be found, blah blah blah. I figured this meant wrong type of install disk. Does anyone know if I can even find a version of this more recent OS which will work on an ibook?

Tiger install DVDs are in short supply. Tiger is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available for $129 by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753). For other sources, do a Google search for MA453Z/A (10.4.6), MA190Z/A (10.4.3) and M9639Z/A (10.4) . Also look on eBay. Be sure & buy a retail version (black with silver X) and not a model specific version (gray) (See Can I use another Mac's system restore disc on my Mac? ). Expect to pay (possibly a lot) more than the Apple list price of $129.
Also check these web stores: http://www.lacomputercompany.com/cgi-bin/rpcart/index.cgi?command=dispitem&type= sku&sku=19521 http://www.allmac.com/shop/index.php?cPath=5_10003
Possible Alternative if you are currently using Panther 10.3 – Do a Google search for Tiger 10.4 Upgrade DVD . It will upgrade your 10.3 to 10.4, but it doesn’t contain the full retail Tiger installer. Should be cheaper than the retail Tiger install DVD.
After you install the base 10.4.x, update to the final Tiger version 10.4.11. Here's the link for the 10.4.11 combo update http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
Look at this link Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger Installing Software Support Page
http://www.apple.com/support/tiger/install/
You can also download the Tiger Installation and Setup Guide
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/TigerInstall_SetupGuide.pdf
When you upgrade the OS, do it via Archive & Install. See About the Archive and Install feature http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710
Be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings. Also, repair permissions before and after the install.

Curly braces lost

When I import a PDF into livecycle designer 7.1, the curly braces are gone from the pdf. These large "{", "}", character add a lot of semantic information to the form, such as grouping and relationships.
Will this be fixed?
Thanks,
Evan

Hi All,
I am working on Evan's team.
There are 7 fonts listed as missing on my machine when I try and open the pdf:
Helvetica (Bold)
Helvetica-Condensed (Regular)
Helvetica-Condensed (Bold)
Helvetica-Condensed-Black (Regular)
HelveticaNeue (Bold)
HelveticaNeue-Roman (Regular)
Universal-NewswithCommPi (Regular)
The last one appears to be this font: http://store.adobe.com/type/browser/F/UNLQ/F_UNLQ-10005002.html
If you look at that font's glyph complement PDF http://store.adobe.com/type/browser/pdfs/UNLQ/UniversalStd-NewswithCommPi.pdf you can see that the missing triangular arrows are indeed from the font, as they match the appearance of the original PDF. The curly braces appear to be from one of the missing Helveticas, but it's not clear which one.
So, our team purchased the Universal-NewswithCommPi font from Adobe.
However, LiveCycle Designer does not recognize that they match. When I try and tell it to manually match the missing font with the purchased one, the issue persists: no arrows (or curly braces).
We are not sure what to do at this point. We don't want to purchase the missing Helveticas if it won't get the missing characters/symbols.
Also, wouldn't it be that characters with missing fonts should still be represented in the XDP (albeit displayed incorrectly), rather than just thrown out? Evan can correct me on this, but I believe when we used 7.0 it did it that way.
Thanks,
-Jenan Wise

Will eMac or iBook DVDs intall Tiger on other machines ?

My Tiger DVD has a crack in it and it wont mount, and I need to install Tiger on a new drive.
Can I use a eMac or iBook Restore DVD to install TIger on a G4 or a Powerbook ?
I wouldn't necessarily need to boot from the DVD as I have Tiger on my boot drive/s, unless the DVDs require you to boot from them to be able to install....so I don't know if there's an issue.
(I just dont want to have to buy another set of Tiger DVDs since Leopard is coming out soon.)
Thanks in advance.

Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

You could clone the bootable drive to the new drive with a backup utility like Super Duper or Carbon Copy Cloner.
I don't think that a OS DVD that came with a computer will allow you to install on another type of computer. Although I don't think there's a hard and fast rule about that. Typically the restore DVD will restore the OS and all the bundled applications and hardware specific drivers.

AC100 Italian keyboard (No curly braces)

Hi,
I have an AC100 with an Italian keyboard that does not have curly braces {}. Is anyone away of a keyboard combination on this device that will print curly braces?
Thanks
Aidy

Hi, mixed salad -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
On the US English layout, those are the two keys to the right of the P key - unmodified is square brackets, Shifted is curly braces.
Let me switch the layout -
Okay - according to the OS 9 German keyboard layout and Key Caps, here's where they are -
Square brackets - Option-5 and Option-6
Curly braces - Option-8 and Option-9
FWIW, straight vertical is Option-7
Key Caps is a great little utility (it is part of a standard OS 9 install, and should be accessible in your Apple menu). It is a live rendition of the keyboard, meaning that with the Key Caps window open you can press the various modifiers (Shift, Option, Control) singly and in combination, and see what's where on the keyboard.
Key Caps also displays combination characters, those that require more than one stroke. The first characters are shown with heavy black borders; when the first has been stroked, then the available second strokes applicable to the first one are highlighted with a heavy border.

Opening curly brace: alt-( combination disabled

Hi everyone,
Running Mac OS X Lion (v10.7.2) on a MacBook Pro 15" (bought January 2011).
The following combinations of keys seem to be disabled on my Mac:
alt-'
alt-(
alt-§
Only those three. Others seem to work alright.
The most annoying is the alt-( since it is the opening CURLY brace character (doing some scripting using BBEdit app v8.7.1).
Tried the following:
Had the Keyboard Shortcuts restored to default in System Preferences > Keyboard.
Unplugged the Apple aluminium keyboard I am usually using, and pressed the same combinations on the MacBook Pro keyboard.
I opened the Keyboard Viewer to check the system's response in both situations. The KV does recognise the alt key being pressed (key turns grey).
But the ( key remains white when I press it while holding down the alt key.
On the other hand, combinations for the opening and closing SQUARE brackets, Cmd-( and Cmd-), are working perfectly.
Pressing the ( key alone, or combined with the shift key (5), works also perfectly (obviously ;-)).
Similar problem for the other two combinations mentioned above.
Looks like it is software- and not hardware-related.
Any suggestions to fix this would be much appreciated.
Merry Christmas to you all,
Vincent

Did some debugging following your indications.
Been able to identify the file causing the problem:
com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist
Deleted it. Now working as expected.
Unable to tell exactly which Key ID corresponds to which of the three combinations I mentioned above.
Don't intend to investigate further since my problem is solved.
Thanks for your help, Tom!
Merry Christmas!
Vincent

IBook G4 1GHz -- combo drive spitting out all CDs/DVDs since 10.4.5

My 12 inch iBook G4 1GHz has been spitting out any CD/DVD inserted (both blank as well as non-blank ones) for the last few hours.
Also, my system crashed at least 4 times today. And when I restart, it starts off with noisy fan sound and just stops without booting.
When I press the power button again, it makes the same sound that iBook makes when it is forcefully shutdown. Now, when I press the power button again, it boots normally.
