Delete button and backspace

I've got a iBook Power Book 4.1 or a Power PC G3. Unlike my G4 desk top, the keyboard does not appear to have a backspace button. The delete button deletes backwards. Is there anyway to delete forward? The Delete on my desktop deletes forward and the backspace deletes backwards. I'm used to this and find it awkward using this iBook as a result.

Well an icon can't really have a COPYRIGHT, unless it was considered a work of art, like a movie or novel. It certainly can't have a patent, since it isn't a machine or invention. At most it could be trademarked, so that others couldn't use it in advertising for other products. This too seems unlikely. I think all it has is Apple usage guidelines, and reviewers who enforce them and attempt to keep the iPhone useable by making sure standard icons are used in standard ways.

  • Both the 'delete' button and in the menu options do not delete messages but change them to unread. How can I remedy this?

    The delete function seems to no longer work in Thunderbird. Both the 'delete' button and in the menu options do not delete messages but change them to unread.
    I have tried to fix it by deleting the trash / deleted files as suggested in another thread but it made no difference. The delete key still works to delete things outside of Thunderbird (including here for example).
    I have not uninstalled / reinstalled. I have rebooted a couple of times and it hasn't made any difference.
    I did go through and delete a huge number of old emails a few days ago, but I have cleared out the Deleted folders and it made no difference.
    All suggestions appreciated.

    Right click on any of the other right panel headers  in Slideshow module to open the context menu. You should be able to reactivate the Options panel from there.

  • Keyboard delete button and alv response

    Hello friends,
    I have a problem with editable alv.
    In alv grid if i select a line and press the delete button on the keyboard,  then the data is getting deleted.
    i do not want that to happen.
    how can i stop it from happening?
    Note: I am not talking about the delete icon which alv provides. I mean the DELETE BUTTON ON THE KEYBOARD

    I know what you mean, but surely when you are typing it makes sense to have a backspace key and not delete as the cursor is ahead of the error.
    Also, a simple tap on the screen at the place you want to edit also means that you can position the cursor after the error. Then, again, you can use the backspace key.
    Personally, I have never felt the need for a delete key, but you should leave feedback for Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
    I presume you are aware that if you hold your finger on the screen that you can move and select text anywhere on the screen.

  • IPhone and iPad Built in Delete key and backspace key.

    iPhone and iPad should have built in Delete key besides the backspace key. Due to screen with virtual default keyboard and big finger, it is difficult to position the cursor accurately.  A delete key should be made available to improve productivity.

    First of all, you cannot delete those backup files.  All those files are needed in the event of a "Restore from Backup" is required.  Everytime you do a backup, itunes only update those files with changes made on the phone or iPad only from the last backup. If there are no new changes to certain contents or media, the files will remain untouched in the folder.  This is the reason why you have some files dated as back as one year ago.  Now, even if you have deleted some of those files, a new backup will add those files back during the process.
    As for changing the Default location of the backup folder, you may refer to this link but do at your own risk:

  • Err-1016 and delete button

    Hi all,
    I'm following the "2 day HTML db developer" guide and I've come across a problem.
    Following all the steps of the "issue tracking app" I have created a form for insert/updating/deleting issues. Here the form contains a hidden item for navigating back to the original page that made the call.
    Well this thing works fine when creating and saving issues also when cancelliing the action, but when deleting an issue I get the following error:
    "Error ERR-1016 Application "XXXX" Page "0" not found (requested language="en-gb ")"
    The record is deleted but the navigation cannot be completed.
    Obviuosly there's no page 0. The uncondicional branch that navigates to the page stored by P7_PREV_PAGE doesn't work when deleting.
    Any help/ideas?
    Many thanks in advance.

    Scott, many thanks for your quick response.
    I have now created a shared application item and everything works fine now.
    There's something I don't understand:
    - Why the wizard created the reset page process and associated it to the delete button and not to the create/create again buttons too?
    - Is it necessary this reset page process?
    And my last doubt, is it better to reset individual items on the page level or to create a navigation item on the application level?
    Your guidance is very much appreciated.

  • Crossword puzzle - Delete vs. Backspace

    Hi
    I’ve created a crossword puzzle in AS3 where you have to type in the characters individually into their blocks, for e.g. if the answer is true, you will have to type T into block 1, R into block 2, etc.
    My code to test the answer is:
    if(true1.text.slice(-2,-1)+true2.text.slice(-2,-1)+true3.text.slice(-2,-1)+ true4.text.slice(-2,-1)=="TRUE") {
                                    answerTrue=true;
                    } else…
    If the answer is incorrect and you press the Backspace button to remove the current character and retype the correct character it works perfect and validates as correct.
    BUT if you press the Delete button and you then also retype the correct character it validates it as incorrect. (It only validates as incorrect if you press Delete after the character or if you press it twice.)
    Why is the Delete button causing it to break and do you have any suggestions on how I can fix this?
      The only other solution I can think of is to just disable the Delete button, but that isn’t as easy as I thought it would be.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Thanks, I've changed it to substr(true1.length-1, true1.length) and it works perfect

  • Using 'Delete' button during Remote Desktop session

    When I connect to my work PC from home everything works great except the delete button.
    A PC has a delete button and a backspace button. For most software these two buttons do the same thing. The Mac has only a delete button which functions as a backspace button on the PC. If you want to delete a file, you must right click and select delete from the popup menu. I am using software that specifically needs the delete button to erase line items, but I do not have a delete button.
    Is there anyway to enable this button to function as a delete button in the PC workspace?
    Thanks

    Press the function key with the delete key and it should delete the file.

  • How to add the delete button

    Hello Guru's and Experts.
    I am working on a change request , the change request is as follows
    Once a cost simulation is run for a maintenance item and the data transferred to BI, it cannot be deleted from BI, only overwritten with an updated cost simulation. In the instance where the such items are no longer required to be included in the simulation, it must be made possible to delete the simulation costs in BI.
    The current design in my project significantly increases the effort required to identify unwanted cost simulations and greatly increases the potential for incorrect data to be used in Budgeting and forecasting.
    My question is how to add the delete functionality in the report. is it acheavable through the portal or WAD,
    iam new to SAP BI , if possible can anyone kindly suggest me the steps to do this functionality.
    Appreciate your quick response..
    Thanks
    Ravi.

    Hi Guru
    Thanks for your valuable information.
    We got the requirment changed now from the users , the delete button should display in the report, i mean in protal, Now the user wants to delete with the selection criteria, for example, once the user hits the row in the report, that means if he selects the Main work center, and selects the delete button , he wants all the data related to that main work center to be deleted.  and another senario is what ever row the user selects  the characteristics in the row, for example, if the user select  for any row, i mean it can be any cost center or fiscal year, maintaiance item, cost elements, ..etc.  
    Once the user  selects the row and hit the delete button,  and he wants to hit the save save button in the report to make sure it deleted, the other way around , if the dont want to hit save, then he wants the data to be in the report.
    In the above  scenario's  can  you please suggest me with the steps how can we acheive it.
    Please reply back if you need any other info., Apprieciate your quick response. its very urgent requirment which we have to start...

  • JMaskField mask input : delete and backspace do not work

    I am using this package for formatted input.
    Delete and backspace do not work if the field is created with a default text as in the code snippet I attach. Did somebody managed this to work? How? delete and backspace work badly in everycase anyway.
    best regards
    -Mangi
    MaskMacros macros = new MaskMacros();
    macros.addMacro('*',"[a-zA-Z0-9]");

    macros.addMacro('%',"[A-Z]");
    macros.addMacro('*',"[a-zA-Z0-9]");
    MaskField2 k = new MaskField2("CODE******",macros);

    Nope, I don't think those keys are even "firing" as another person worded it. I can push the buttons down, so they aren't stuck but it doesn't seem to be sending any signal.

  • TS2771 What should I do about the backspace key/delete button doesn't work?

    The backspace/delete key doesn't work on my son's ipod touch.  What can I do?

    A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
    No content is affected by this procedure.

  • How do i view photos in macbook pro, and while viewing how can i delete the unwanted photos with delete button?

    1 My questions are about viewing and managing photos from a folder.
    a. How do i view photos in macbook pro - i know the space bar thingy but does not help my purpose?
    b. While viewing how can i delete the unwanted photos with delete button?
    c. How can i increase the size of the photos that i am seeing in the form of icons?

    double clicking in iPhoto will open the photo.
    The left and right arrow key will move between photos, as well as swiping on a trackpad or Apple mouse.
    See >System Preference>Trackpad or mouse  for options and tut
    While selected or in the smaller icon view hitting the Delete key will delete the pic.
    Command Z will undo the last action taken.
    Periodically you have to empty the iPhoto trash.  iPhoto drop down menu>empty trash
    Same applies for viewing pics in a Folder NOT in iphoto,  Use the up and down arrows does not work in Preview, but as you know in QuickLook (spacebar) the up and down arrows will navigate.
