Datasheet pasting - how can I figure out where the errors are?

For example, I am trying to paste a fairly large chunk of data into the Datashet view to use in a list. (about 30 columns by 9000 rows, so 270,000 cells.) When I try to page, it tells me that about 800 could not be pasted, but does not tell me WHICH
cells, or even which COLUMNS. I am sure that if I could just figure out which cells were not being pasted, I could easily figure out WHY there is an error. Can anybody give me any useful tips to help me pinpoint which columns/cells are having
the problem? Thanks!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that to paste 270,000 cells data into the Datashet view to use in a list.
Please make sure the view have sufficient columns, otherwise the paste operation will fail.
A paste operation will also fail in the following situations:
Some or all of the destination cells are read-only
Pasting the contents into the selected cells will make them fail the validation rules
Attempting to paste data that does not match the data type of the destination cells
Attempting to paste data into a calculated column

HT201472 If my ipod was stolen, how can I figure out if the find my ipod app is activated

If my ipod was stolen, how can I figure outg if the find my ipod app is activated.

- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

Just got an Ipad and am working on setting it up. the one issue I am having with it is my screen will not rotate no matter what I do to the settings, I can't figure out if the settings are wrong or if there really is something wrong with my Ipad.

just got an Ipad and am working on setting it up. the one issue I am having with it is my screen will not rotate no matter what I do to the settings, I can't figure out if I have a setting wrong or if there really is something wrong with my Ipad. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Double click the home button (square) and all the things you did are there.keep sliding the bar that will come up on the bottom to the left till it cant go anymore there should be a icon looking like this.press that and it should work
Good luck hope it works.

How can I find out where the Library files currently used by iTunes are located?

I have had a bit of a nightmare sorting out my iTunes files so I have various versions of Library files all over the place. How can I tell where the Library file that iTunes is currently using is located? In Preferences I can see the Library "Name", but I don't think that is much help. Preferences also shows where my i-Tunes media folder is but not where the Library files are.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Ah, I was assuming you would search in Finder and display some details. All alternative approach is to Option start iTunes and click the Choose option. It should show a file selection box targeted at the folder of the currently active library.

How can I find out where certain prompts are used in a BI application?

I have 2 questions...
How do I identify all the dashboards where a specific object from my catalog is used in a BI application?
Similiarly, how can I determine all the reports and prompts that use a specific field from my subject area?
Thanks,
Darcy

Open catalog manager and create a report. That report can include column formula(field), table, catalog name and etc and will create a report that you can download to an excel dump giving all the reports and report paths that use those selected attributes.
Open catalog manager--> go to tools--> create report and select all you need
Hope it helps
thanks

HELP!Can't figure out where the extra memory is coming from!

I deleted everything off my ipod except the games so I could have a lot of memory for music and my pictures and as you know the this 2nd generation ipod nano has 892.5MB well I've only used 476.3MB for music 442.4MB photo's 33.9MB can't understand where the 245.2MB for the other is coming from unless its the games if so how do I get the games off I don't play them I just listen to the music and show my pics to family & friends I want enough memory left to put audio books on there tho.Can anyone tell me how to delete the games?

The games that come pre-installed on the iPod can't be deleted.
The storage space taken up by "Other" can be made up of, notes or files of any kind you've added to the iPod whilst using it as a hard disk or album artwork. Or sometimes when the iPod data base has become corrupt.
There will always be a few MBs of used space under "other" but if it's more than that it often happens when the iPod data base becomes corrupt.
If the iPod is enabled for disk use, you can look at the folders on the iPod through Explorer or Finder and delete anything you don't want.
If it's a corruption it will probably need to be restored, see how to restore the iPod to factory settings which will erase the iPods contents and reclaim the used space.
Then reload the music from iTunes.

Can't figure out why syntax errors are coming up

Here is a simple Binary search type program, but instead of cutting the array in half, it uses interpolation to search the array. Here is the code, but I am getting syntax errors, I will post them below the code:

Thanks you guys, I made the change and learned something new and it worked. I made a refinement to the program, so i can initialize an array with consecutive numbers instead of typing in 10 I can have like 1000 or 1000000, I am getting 1 error. I can't figure this one out also. Also what is the meanding of static?
here is the code and below it is the one error

I have 2008 microsoft office with three license keys. i bought my daughter a new make and wiped her older mac. question is when i did this it says there are too many users for program how can i figure out where product key is

I have microsoft officemac w 3 licenses. I have one key on one computer and the second key on another. Problem I bought daughter new mac (3rd computer) and put on key on her new computer. With her old computer we wiped it to back to factory etc. Then I added a product key for officemac on old
est computer. Now when I use my wiped computer it comes up saying that all product keys are taken. How do I check to see if she has the same key number as the old one I have? I have paid for three but her computer and my old one must have the same key number. I need help in checking key numbers so I can set it right. Thanks

I am unable to download a newer version of Firefox because it says that I have one that is open. I can't figure out where the open one is???

I have the firefox icon on the tool bar at the bottom. When I click on it, another one appears so now there are 2. I wanted to update my firefox but, when I try to run the install I get a box that says that I need to close firefox in order to install and it is not open. I need to get this corrected. What do I do?

Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 19.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

HT2693 unable to restore contacts from backup in iTunes.. how do i find out where the contacts are when it took the backup the first time?

Please help me restore my contacts from the backup in my laptop. When i took the backup the first time, i dont know where it took the backup. After that i tried restoring the contacts back to my iPhone, but was unable to. What can i do to findout where did the contacts go in my laptop? Please help asap.

Unfortunately, you have posted in the wrong community. However, I am not quite sure which community you should be posting in. Do you use iCloud for your contacts.

I lost my pictures on my phone when I did the back up procedure wrong with my computer. How can I find out if the pictures are on ICloud or on my sims card?

How do I find pictures that are no longer on my phone? I am not sure if they are in ICloud or on my sims card.

If your phone is off, there is no way to locate it other than physically looking for it. It cannot be remotely turned on. Even if it were on, you would have had to have Find My Phone setup/activated/turned on BEFORE you lost your phone to have any hope of finding it.

For a breakdown of the lab go urlhttp://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~paolo/teaching/494MJ/labs/lab8.shtml{url}. If you don't feel like reading that: THe program reads in some command line arguments. From there it reads from the file provided in the command line and creates "keys" from the specified length. From there I need to create a phrase of the specified length. If i am supposed to create more then one then i do. That is pretty much it. I can't figure out where (really why) the NullPointerException error is coming from.
Help is appreciated!!

Post the actual error text (copy and paste, don't "interpret" it) here.
It should include a stack trace which references a line number of the program -
unless you suppressed the trace, in which case change your error handling
so that the trace is produced.
Identify which program line in your post the error is pointing to so that we can match
the error with your program, since your post doesn't have line numbers..

Newbie for the life of me can't figure out where in contact.php you tell it where to send form?

Thx for any help.
I know it's got to be so obbvious.
Why would you send in php vs html?
<?php
if(!$_POST) exit;
$email = $_POST['email'];
//$error[] = preg_match('/\b[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}\b/i', $_POST['email']) ? '' : 'INVALID EMAIL ADDRESS';
if(!eregi("^[a-z0-9]+([_\\.-][a-z0-9]+)*" ."@"."([a-z0-9]+([\.-][a-z0-9]+)*)+"."\\.[a-z]{2,}"."$",$email )){
$error.="Invalid email address entered";
$errors=1;
if($errors==1) echo $error;
else{
$values = array ('name','email','message');
$required = array('name','email','message');
$your_email = "[email protected]";
$email_subject = "New Message: ".$_POST['subject'];
$email_content = "new message:\n";
foreach($values as $key => $value){
 if(in_array($value,$required)){
if ($key != 'subject' && $key != 'company') {
 if( empty($_POST[$value]) ) { echo 'PLEASE FILL IN REQUIRED FIELDS'; exit; }
$email_content .= $value.': '.$_POST[$value]."\n";
if(@mail($your_email,$email_subject,$email_content)) {
echo 'Message sent!';
} else {
echo 'ERROR!';
?>

Thanks. I'm working with different hosts and I guess thats where the confusion for me is coming in. In bluehost, I simply submit my form through form action to http://www.bluehost/bluemail. With the php form construction it 's form action is contact.php. Does this mean that the server I'm working with will uinderstand how to process contact.php and where to send it based on paramaters previously submitted? Or do I instruct the server via the php form? Thanks again

The reason why this is done in php is because php is server-side scripting. It's telling your server to do stuff. HTML doesn't tell your server anything, it tells the client (the web browser loading it) to do things. Only your server can send an email.

TS1702 I can not figure out where to go to report this but every since my last facebook update, facebook crashes everytime I open it (withing 30 sec) - using ITouch 4th Gen.

I am not sure if this is where I go to report this, but I can't figure out where else to go. Ever since I downloaded the last App update for facebook, facebook crashes within 30 sec of opening - EVERY TIME!

Contact the developer/go to their support site if only one app.

Datasheet pasting - how can I figure out where the errors are?
