No it doesn't, or at least it is minimal. After all, it is only a list of aliases!

How long does the number porting process take?

Hello Everybody! I just got my iphone (witch I LOVE it by the way) but I was wondering, how long does the number porting process take?
I ported my phone number over from SprintPCS last night at around 7pm EST and right now it's 8am EST and my Palm seems to still be working... Is this normal?
I'm still receiving incoming calls to my Palm, Text messages to my Palm, but yet I can do outgoing calls from my iphone... I'm kinda confused...
I mean I received the text on my iphone from sprint telling me: "Welcome to AT&T" as well as receiving the e-mail saying my new phone number is the same one I've had for 6 years now... Is 13 hours considered normal?
Thanx! :-D

QueenYvette,
If it continues to be an issue tomorrow, I would recomend calling again, and getting in contact with AT&T's porting department. They are familiar with resolving any issues that may arise.
Powering off both phones is to make sure that the old phone is not maintaining an active connection with the old carrier that can interfere with the last steps of the porting process. If at all possible its a good idea to leave the old phone powered off, and restart the new phone about once an hour so that it will resync with the towers.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

Using OSX 10.9.4. Why does the Finder Menu bar disappear when using Chrome?

I've used Chrome for a couple years, and all of a sudden the Dock and the Finder Menu bar are not accessible when using Chrome. They are present in every other app, as usual. Please help me to get the Finder Menu and Dock active when using Chrome. Thank you.

Chrome may somehow be set to run in full-screen mode. I don't use Chrome so can't check its settings options, but try hitting ESC when Chrome is doing this and see if you get the menubar and Dock to reappear.

Why does the properties menu not appear with the templates?

Hi,
This is a bit hard to explain but maybe someone will get it.
If you draw a div on your deisgn window 'draw AP div' then
click somewhere on that div again, in the design window, then you
get a list of properties at the bottom such as width, height, top,
left, z-index etc....ok.
Now if i load the '3 column hybrid header and footer
template' and click on any div on the deisgn window of this
template then i dont get this properties menu at the bottom. The
width in the css template are set in 'em' btw if that matters.
Now i am thinking there is a fundmental difference betwee the
divs in the template than drawing a div using the 'draw AP div'
tool.??
It's kinda of like the templates are using pure css whereas
the AP div is a mixture, ok i am sure i am WAY of the mark here and
this is just a little thing. Can someone explain?
thanks for any advice!

That's because the div *you* created was Absolutely
Positioned, and there is
a specific inspector for absolutely positioned elements. But
the divs in
the 3-column hybrid header and footer are NOT absolutely
positioned and so
you do not get the special inspector. If you are not sure
about the
difference between absolutely positioned and non-positioned
elements, then
you would be well advised to NOT use absolute positioning
until you do. It
will create big problems for you if you ignore this.
> The width in the css template are set in 'em' btw if
that matters.
That makes the container expand in width as the font size is
expanded by the
visitor, which is what is meant by the 'hybrid' term in the
sample file's
name.
> Now i am thinking there is a fundmental difference
betwee the divs in the
> template than drawing a div using the 'draw AP div'
tool.??
Yes, definitely. This may help you understand positioning a
bit -
There are 4 different types of positioning:
Absolute
Relative
Fixed
Static
Here is a brief explanation of each kind of positioning (with
regard to
placement of elements on the page only)....
Position:absolute (or A/P elements)
This does several things -
1. It 'removes' the element from the flow of the code on
the page so that
it can no longer influence the size or position of any other
page element
(except for those contained within it, of course).
2. The absolutely positioned element takes its position from
the position of
its closest PARENT *positioned* element - in the
absence of any explicitly
positioned parent, this will default to the <body> tag,
which is always
positioned
at 0,0 in the browser viewport.
This means that it doesn't matter where in the HTML code the
layer's code
appears (between <body> and </body>), its
location on the screen will not
change (this assumes that you have not positioned the A/P
element within
a table or another A/P element, of course).
Furthermore, the space in
which
this element would have appeared were it not positioned
is not preserved
on the screen. In other words, absolutely positioned elements
don't take
up any space on the page. In fact, they FLOAT over the page.
Position:relative (or R/P elements)
In contrast to absolute positioning, a relatively positioned
page element is
*not* removed from the flow of the code on the page, so
it will use the
spot
where it would have appeared based on its position in
the code as its
zero point reference. If you then supply top, right,
bottom, or left
positions
to the style for this element, those values will be
used as offsets from
its
zero point.
This means that it DOES matter where in the code the
relatively positioned
element appears (, as it will be positioned in that location
(factoring in
the offsets) on the screen (this is true for any placement in
the code).
Furthermore, the space where this element would have
appeared is
preserved in the display, and can therefore affect the
placement of
succeeding elements. This means that the taller a relatively
positioned element is, the more space it forces on the page.
Position:static
As with relative position, static positions also "go with
the flow". An
element with a static position cannot have values for
offsets (top, right,
left, bottom) or if it has them, they will be ignored. Unless
explicitly
positioned, all div elements default to static positioning.
Position:fixed
A page element with this style will not scroll as the page
content scrolls.
Support for this in elements other than page backgrounds is
quirky
There are several other things you need to know:
1. ANY page element can be positioned - paragraphs, tables,
images, lists,
etc.
2. The <div> tag is a BLOCK level tag. This means that
if it is not
positioned or explicitly styled otherwise, a) it will always
begin on a new
line on the screen, and b) it will always force content to a
new line below
it, and c) it will always take up the entire width of its
container (i.e.,
width:100%).
3. The placement of A/P elements *can* affect the BEHAVIOR of
other
elements
on the page. For example, a 'layer' placed over a hyperlink
will mask that
hyperlink.
You can see a good example of the essential difference
between absolute and
relative positioning here -

You can see a good demonstration of why using layers for a
page layout tool
is dangerous here -

Why does the white menu bar stay when in full screen?

Shortly after up grading to 3.4.1 this stated to happen:
1. I open App, not in full screen
2. press the "f" key, it's takes me to full screen mode but the white Aperture menu bar remains at the top, hideing adjustments.
3. I press the "f" key to get out of full screen & I loose both full screen & the "regular" viewer.
Not sure what's going on....by the way, it sometimes functions without this problem.
Any thoughts out there?
Thanks.

Does the Zen Sleek docking station NEED a power adapt

I already have a docking station for my Zen Sleek which is connected to my PC.
I would like to get another one for my hi-fi downstairs so that I can take advantage of the line out socket. Does the dock need power to provide the line-out socket so am I going to have to sort out a second power supply as well?
If I do need a second power supply, would it be ok to just buy a uni'versal power supply (providing the current is sufficient) and plug that in, which would be cheaper than a Creative OE one?
Thanks in advance. The Sleek rocks!Message Edited by manoman48 on 06-27-2006 03:55 AM

The battery pack for the V200 is a different size/shape to the one for the TX, NX, TX FM etc. More important I suppose is whether the actual MP3 module is the same size or not; whether the V200 module will fit in the TX battery compartment or not.
Creative's official answer will probably be that they are different. On first looks they appear different but someone with both players might be able to give you a better answer.

What DOES the default menu do?

Hi,
Scenario: sqlplus on scott/tiger schema and a 9i form running and linked
to the EMP table.
User on the form queries Blake's record and changes their salary by one unit
(forms locks the record as the change takes place).
Nip across to SQLplus and type in an UPDATE statement to set Blake's
salary to zero (hangs on the lock).
Back into the form: decide to ditch the change of Blake's salary by choosing
Block->Clear from the menu (screen gets wiped).
Back to sqlplus: no update on the sqlplus window (still hanging I guess on
the lock).
Back to the form - choose Action->Clear All and this allows sqlplus to
work again.
Question1: what does "Action->Clear All" do (if it just invokes a built-in where
can I read words like "this calls clear_form(NO_COMMIT)" ?)
Question2: why didn't Block->Clear discard the lock?
I kindof think that there's something obvious I am missing, but am willing to
sacrifice my pride for a good answer.
Thanks in advance
Mungo Henning :-)

Hi Kranthi,
Thanks for the reply.
Hello
The Clear All item in the default menu is
functionally equivalent to executing the CLEAR_FORM
M procedure with default parameters:
CLEAR_FORM(ask_commit, to_savepoint);
The block clear menu option removes all records from,
or flushes the current block.You haven't said whether the block clear menu option calls "CLEAR_BLOCK".
So what does it do with uncommitted changes - ask or ignore?
>
Refer to the online help for more details That's the overwhelming issue: I have gone to the on-line manual but I find
it infuriating when it lacks vital details. I will happily stand corrected if someone
can list some keywords or a web URL for the exact page I ought to be reading
So I politely request that you indulge me: where in the manual does it discuss
the functionality of the default menu in exact terms?
Thanks again
Mungo

Where does the DITA menu call the templates from?

Frame 11
DITA 1.2
I'm trying to create a DITA topic (as opposed to a task, reference, or concept) that contains task, reference, and concept elements. I have my template created but when I try to open a topic from the DITA menu, my new template is not being used.
I have looked in the DITA Options and I don't see anything there that gives me any clue.
Does anyone else have a clue?
Thanks in advance.
Marsha

Hi Scott,
That *almost* helps. I can import the element definitions from the ditabase.edd.fm file into my topic.template.fm file and get everything that I want in my template. (I wish I had known that yesterday. ) However, I'm still not getting my saved template when I go to DITA > New DITA File > New <topic>.
What am I missing?

What does the Low-Pass filter do (for dummies)

Dear colleagues,
I'm about to encode a lot of content for DVD using Apple Compressor Vers 3.5.2. This project calls for 2.0 Stereo as well as 5.1 surround. I am wondering if I should check or un-check the Low-Pass Filter for the Full Bandwidth Channels for the 2.0 stereo track.
Same question for the 5.1...
In case it's important to note, the LFE track of the 5.1 mix has low frequency effects only and nothing else.
The explanation in the manual seems confusing to me. Would someone be kind enough to help me determine the correct setting?
Thanks in advance!
Xavier

Hi David,
Thanks for your reply. I think I'll just turn OFF this filter for both my 2.0 Stereo and 5.1 Surround tracks.
In the name of proper communication however something still doesn't make sense. The compressor manual states the following:
Full Bandwidth Channels
Apply Low-Pass Filter: Select this checkbox to turn on a low-pass filter with a cutoff near the available audio bandwidth that is applied to the main input channels. If the digital signal fed to the main input channels does not contain information above the available audio bandwidth, you can turn off this filter. Compressor will automatically determine the available bandwidth.
Question 1: What/which is the available audio bandwidth?
Question 2: Why would anyone want to apply a Low-Pass filter to a FULL bandwidth channel? I would think that since these are FULL bandwidth channels you would want to maintain the full range of frequencies. No?

Does the iPod Universal Dock work with the Apple Component AV Cable?

I have the iPod Universal Dock (MA045G/A) and the Apple Component AV Cable (MB128LL/B)...the ones in the original black packaging.
I had wanted to connect either my Nano 3G or my iTouch 1G to my TV, but neither would work through the docking station with the AV cable. Both did work when I tried not using the dock and connected both the Nano and the iTouch directly into the AV Cable.
My dock works great on my Computer, and I tried a second dock (same model) that I had into the TV with the AV cable and it still did not see the connection.
Is my particular iPod Universal Dock NOT COMPATIBLE with this Apple Component AV Cable (or for that matter, the Composite AV Cable-MB129LL/B)?
It's not a big deal since both do work with the AV cable by itself...it's just annoying I can't use the dock...

Are you sure it is genuine Apple cable? If you bought it on eBay or non-authorized Apple dealer it probably isn't. If it is a genuine cable, it is defective, and should be returned.
When a working genuine Apple A/V cable is plugged into iPhone, a popup appears asking if you want to enable the TV output. Since you are not getting this popup, your cable is bad.
