dear Lyssa: does this apply for all sorts of essential updates from Apple/ adobe etc ? i.e. every time I i get the software pop-up telling me a new update is available I have to let it download the file but I have to look in the utilities for installer and activate it manually ? thanks
No: Firmware Updates are rather unusual and operate differently to the normal software updates. They require a special procedure which is documented with the update. But even the normal software updates require the Installer to run: however Software Update will take care of that for you if you let it. You certainly won't need to go looking for the normal Installer.
In your specific case, the page for MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 1.5.1 tells you:
To complete the firmware update process, please follow the instructions in the updater application (/Applications/Utilities/MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update.app). The updater will launch automatically when the Installer closes.

my partner and i have the same models of Iphone. how can we make sure that when she logs on to our home network, it recognises her phone and doesn't down load to my phone?
Did you try to rename one of them? iTunes: How to rename your device
iTunes remembers the settings for each phone when you sync, even if both phones are called "My iPhone".
So make sure to set it up like you want to, after that iTunes will do the rest. -

You may have the accessibility VoiceOver feature or another one turned on.
Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off and any others off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see the following for how to turn off via iTunes:
iPhone: Configuring accessibility features (including VoiceOver and Zoom)
Next try:
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

How do I make sure my page width is optimized for all monitors?
I have a portfolio-ish website, and I've noticed that on small screens there is white space if you scroll to the right. On big screens (Such as my 27" iMac), the design doesn't fit the whole screen.

How can I fix this?
Thanks!I believe you have used rectangle frames with image fill on page as background. You may want to use full width rectangles with images as page background which would fit on all screen.
Thanks,

Hi. how does one make sure photos have been uploaded to I cloud
trying to update to IOS 8 on my iphone 4s from IOS 7.1.2. cannot due to storage requirements. asking me to delete items. what should I do? most are photos how do I make sure they are now in cloud and can be safely deleted from phone storage.
Be very careful.
Only the last 1000 photos maximum are stored in iCloud and for a maximum of 30 days.
In the new version of iCloud Photo Library (which is in Beta) it will keep all photos, but you are not using that version yet as you need iOS 8 installed to do that.
The best thing to do is connect your iPhone to your computer and transfer the photos from the photo to your computer.
The instructions on how to do it are here:
Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC -
How to deploy an EJB that uses TopLink (w/o including all the TopLink libs)
This might be a basic question. Sorry !
When my EJB uses TopLink libraries, is there a way to deploy the EJB without having to include the TopLink jars in the deploying JAR/EAR file ?
Is there a way to make sure TopLink libraries are accessible commonly to all the applications on the app server ?
Thanks,
KrishnaI think I got how to do this.
I ave to use the "application.xml" file which is the global application.xml file for all applications on that OC4J instance.
http://otn.oracle.com/tech/java/oc4j/doc_library/902/A95880_01/html/advanced.htm#1015123
Gotta add all the common libraries to that file. for example:

<library path="C:\OraHome1\toplink\core\lib\xerces.jar" />
<library path="C:\OraHome1\toplink\core\lib\antlr.jar" />

Periodic Alert-How to send all the records returned from the SQL in a mail?
Hello all,
I have defined a Periodic Alert, my SQL query returns more than one record whenever I run it. I also defined an action to send an email with the message consisting of the output variables from the SQL. Whenever i run this alert, a mail is being sent for every single record returned from the query. But i want to send a single mail containing all the records information that my SQL query returns.
For Example: My SQL query lists all the users created on current date.
Select User_Id, User_Name into &OUTPUT1, &OUTPUT2
from fnd_users where trunc(creation_date) = trunc(sysdate)
Now i want to send a mail with all the users information from the above query, to SYSADMIN. How can this be achieved?
Thanks & Regards
chakooHi Chakoo,
If the Periodic Alert is not working as requried. You can write a simple package with 3 procedures to implement the writing output to a out file and simultaneuosly send email to multiple receiptents.
Example:
Create Package xx_pac
Create public Procedure P1
begin
Select User_Id, User_Name into &OUTPUT1, &OUTPUT2
from fnd_users where trunc(creation_date) = trunc(sysdate)
fnd_file.put_line (fnd_file.output, &OUTPUT1, &OUTPUT2);
end;
(Create private Procedure P2
begin
---Write the email package using the UTL_SMTP approch. Using this approch you can send the procedure P1 output file as an attachment to the desiginated receiptents.
end;
(Create public Procedure P3
begin
---call the procedure P1 using the "g_request_id = fnd_request.submit_request"
---Wait for the above procedure to complete using "l_conc_status := fnd_concurrent.wait_for_request" procedure.
---call the procedure P2. (When called you must provide the correct to, from address)
end;
end;
Register the Package xx_pac as a concurrent program and schedule when submit it from the request.

I'm totally new to iphone/ipod. I need help with the following:
1) How do I get rid of a folder of photos that showed up on my daughter's ipod touch when she received some songs from her aunt's itunes? After she got some songs from that itunes a folder of pictures showed up with no delete option. Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?
2) Also, my daughter uses same itunes as myself, how do I make sure any pics I have on my iphone & icloud (itunes) don't show up on her ipod? I shut off my photostream so perhaps this is the solution. But I noticed that a message I sent from her ipod to my sister (an iphone user) later showed up on my iphone (as if I had sent it from my iphone)! That was really odd. I'd like to keep our itunes account together simply so I can monitor her downloads, etc so I don't want to open up her own itunes to avoid automatic syncing.
I only want to share music between our devices. I don't want her pics nor my pics to go to icloud/itunes.
Thank you!1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.
iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
2)
Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Then on the iPod go to
- Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
- Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that under You can be reached at only her ID email address is listed
- Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with hers
Contnue to use the commpn ID/account for Settings>iTunes and App stores. -
i have just switched to samsung and i have removed the sim from the iphone however i am still receiving texts rather 'imessage' on the old iphone. how do i make sure all messages only come to my new phone??
You can turn iMessage off on your iPhone. That's relatively easy. Since iMessage is an Apple product/service, I have no idea how a Samsung phone will deal with an incoming one. For that answer you should probably contact Samsung support.

How do I make sure my iPhone sends a text not an iMessage?
My iPhone seems nowadays to try to send a SMS as an "iMessage" rather than a text. This does not work very well. I have had delays of several hours, and messages delivered to computers at home rather than the phone in the pocket. Also it uses data bandwidth rather than the phone signal without asking my permission. This is a serious shortcoming IMO.

How do I make sure that my second-hand iPod is not a stolen product?
My husband recently recieved an iPod shuffle from a friend of his. His friend told him he could have it since the friend didn't have a computer to download songs from or charge the iPod with. He states that he thought the iPod already had songs pre-recorded on it, and even if he used someone else's computer to get the songs, it's too much trouble. My husband had lent him some money to pay a utility bill and he was using this iPod that he just happened to have laying around to pay my husband back. I don't trust my husband's friend. How can I make sure that he isn't trying to push a stolen iPod off onto my husband? We haven't used it yet. My husband doesn't have much use for the shuffle, but I would love it, if only I could find out whether it was stolen or not. I don't want to take it to the police and start a big fight or get his friend in trouble, but if it is stolen I want to know so I can send it back to Apple or who ever owns it.
Hi pyrausagi,
You sound like a very honest and sensible person, who is taking very reasonable precautions against becoming a second victim of theft. Others on these forums have been less cautious and have lost their recent purchases.
My suggestion would be to make sure the person offering the iPod shuffle is easily identifyable. Make sure he/she has a real address and you know what it is. Get a picture of the person and make sure they know you have it. If they are not above board I'm fairly sure they won't allow this.
There are a number of online databases of stolen merchandise. Look them up and check the serial number of the iPod against these databases.
Apple will not tell you if the item is stolen. Their phone agents that work with the public do not have that kind of information.
Note that doing all this will not guarantee you don't get a stolen iPod. Only purchasing one new (or refurbished) from Apple or an authorized reseller can do that. It does, however, give you a better chance.
Best of luck. Enjoy whatever iPod you get. -
I updated to iOS7 and my deleted photos came back. How do I make sure this doesn't happen again?
I updated to iOS7 and my deleted photos came back. How do I make sure this doesn't happen again? I want to get rid of the ones I already got rid of, but if they just keep coming back that will be a waste of time.
Can anyone help?
When I sync with itunes, the photos sections says I am syncing with my iphone, so I assume that anything I physically delete from my iphone should not be showing up again. Right?
Thanks in advance.

PS- I don't use iphoto.Is that really how sync works?
If you read this, http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4236 and this http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314 they don't actually make how sync works very clear. I had thought that syncing my device to itunes would allow I tunes to copy what was currently on my phone so that I could restore that information when needed ie if your phone dies and you need to do a clean install of the iOS system, you always have what is currently on your phone saved in Itunes.
Specifically reading this:
To delete Camera Roll photos and videos from your device
There are two methods to delete items from the Camera Roll:
Import the Camera Roll to your computer and choose to delete items after import.
Delete photos and videos from your device manually:
Open the Photos application and open the Camera Roll.
Tap the Action button.
Tap each photo to select it.
Tap the Delete button.
Note: For photos and videos you want to save, import them to your computer before deleting them from the Camera Roll.
What you seem to be saying is that iTunes saves every contact, message, photo etc and when you click sync, it reuploads things that you deleted? This seems like it should work the opposite. Make a mirror image of my iPhone on my computer, not make a mirror image of my computer onto my iPhone. You delete things for a reason.
