How to optimize Thunderbird for Windows 8.1 tablet

I have installed Thunderbird on a Dell Venue Pro 11, which is an i5 based tablet using Windows 8.1. The default font sizes and other controls for Thunderbird are difficult to operate using only touch on the smaller screen. (Imagine Thunderbird running on an 1920 x 1080 screen resolution and a 10.8 inch screen. Everything is very small but legible, and I have fat fingers.) What I would like to know is if there's an add-in that optimizes Thunderbird for touch screens and increases the font sizes, etc., to make Thunderbird easier to use on a Windows tablet. The program itself runs fine if I'm at my desk, with a mouse and multiple monitors. It is much harder to use (but still runs fine) when I'm using it as a tablet.
If no add-in exists, what settings should I change to optimize the experience?

I don't know of any particular add-on or set of adjustments to help with a smaller screen.
There is an add-on that may help by globally setting the fonts in the interface. There are other adjustments within Thunderbird for the message text. The following article discusses both of these:
http://www.ramsden.org.uk/9_Type_sizes.html
I think Thunderbird is rather poorly suited to a touch screen. There are some features which are only accessible by clicking on a small button, and a lot of it is accessible through right-clicks, which again may not be well suited to a touchscreen.

How to prevent iTunes for Windows from "Updating iTunes Library"? (Library is on a NAS and managed by iTunes for Mac. Now getting update wars between Mac and Windows versions of the player.

How to prevent iTunes for Windows from "Updating iTunes Library"?
My library is on a NAS and managed by iTunes on a Mac. I can connect from wife's Windows laptop using iTunes for Windows but every time I do, it Updates iTunes Library. Next time I log in from my Mac it Updates iTunes Library in return. It appears I'm experiencing "Update Wars" between the Mac and Windows versions of iTunes. I would like to allow my wife to stream iTunes songs to her new laptop but I don't want any updates from this source... prefer to manage the library from my Mac and not allow Windows to do any thing other than listen to existing playlists.
Thanks for any help/suggestions.

Connect the PC to the library on the NAS. Wait while "updated".
Under Edit > Preferences > Advanced make sure the media folder is correctly pointed at the media folder on the NAS. If not correct, close iTunes, wait a few moments, then open iTunes again.
Close iTunes on the PC. Do not open iTunes on the Mac.
Copy the library files, iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Library Extras.itdb, iTunes Library Genius.itdb, sentinel and the folder Album Artwork into an empty iTunes folder on the PC, for example C:\iTunes.
Click the icon to start iTunes and immediately press and hold down SHIFT. Keep holding until prompted to choose or create a library. Click choose and browse to the copied .itl file, e.g. C:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl
The library should now work properly on the PC, however check the setting for the media folder. If needs be correct, close iTunes and reopen.
Open iTunes on the Mac. It will update again, but that should be last time.

How to use itunes for windows server 2003

how to install itunes for windows server 2003

Purchased music from the iTUnes store is in a "AAC protected" format. It can only be used in iTUnes. Any music you buy online these days will have some protection on it where you can only use it in there program.
The way around this is to burn the purchased songs to a CD in iTUnes. Then goto edit>preferences>advanced tab>Import sub tab and set your import settings to something like MP3.
Now put the burned CD back in the PC and "Re"import it into iTunes so its imported in a MP3 format so you can use it in any program. Before importing it tho you need to manually add the name of the song, artist album ect ect

I highly appreciate any idea from you guys!Jay,
one quite nice approach is described in the AskTom thread: http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:2345591157689#2356959585102
In a nutshell: You can create a partitioned table with the same layout (using e.g. a RANGE partitioning with a single default partition), insert the remaining data into that table and swap the two segments using ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION.
This allows you to load the data into the partitioned table using all means available to you, e.g. direct-path parallel insert with nologging attribute of the table to make it as fast as possible, rebuilding/creating any indexes in bulk after the load completed.
Furthermore, at least seamless read-access to the table is possible while you're performing this operation, and you don't have to deal with renaming/granting etc. which you would need to do with a traditional CTAS approach.
Of course, if the table needs to be online for DML while performing the DELETE you can't use these options.

How is SQLite used for windows phone 8.1 in Visual Studio2013

Hi,
I'm developing app on Windows 8.1 currently. Can any one please help me with the steps to proceed so that I can create a database using SQLite for windows phone 8.1 through Visual Studio2013.

Hi SwetaSinha,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
Since this forum is to discuss: Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help
System, and Visual Studio Editor.
Based on your issue, if you want to know how to create a database using SQLite, I suggest you can ask this issue directly to the SQLite official website:
http://www.sqlite.org/support.html, maybe you will get better support.
In addition, since the SQLite is a extension tool for the Windows Phone 8.1, so I suggest you can post this case to the SQLite for Windows Phone 8.1:https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/5d97faf6-39e3-4048-a0bc-adde2af75d1b,
and then click “Q AND A”, you will get better support there.
Thanks for your understanding.

How to optimize code for getting list of portal GP erroneous processes

Hello,
In our Web Dynpro application for Java we got the list of GP processes with status Erroneous which match the following criteria (initiator, processName, blockName, actionName, startDate, endDate, instanceName, actionProcessor) by loop of all portal users. The problem is that it takes too much time for execution. In example with 200 users it takes about 5 min. Any idea how to optimize execution?

 IndexedRecord input = rf.createIndexedRecord("input");
 boolean flag = input.add("/FolderpathValue");
 flag = input.add("CampusCodeValue");

How to install itune for windows 7

I have a problem install itune for windows 7. Please help.....
After installing itume 10.2.2 64-bit, It prompt me "Apple Application Support" is require to download itune.
Info:
Model: Sony vaio
Windows 7 Home Premium
Rating: 3.2
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU [email protected]
Memory: 2.00GB
System: 64-bit Operating System

It prompt me "Apple Application Support" is require to download itune.
Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Satellite A200-1DN - How to update BIOS for Windows 7

I'm running 32bit Windows 7 on a Satellite A200 1DN. I've been having battery problems (plugged in, not charging) and I understand I need to update my BIOS. However I can't find a BIOS update for Windows 7, only Vista and XP.
Can anyone help? Should I update with the Vista BIOS? Are there any other options for solving this battery problem? I've already tried an ATX reset, and uninstalling the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery.
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ian

Theoretically, you can install Windows Vista to update Bios and return Win 7, then. Before doing, try this:
Unplug the computer from the AC adapter and turn it on. Let the computer run under battery power until the computer turns off
Remove the battery pack. Using a soft cloth, wipe off the battery packs connectors and the AC adapters connectors.
Re-insert the battery pack and plug the computer into the AC adapter
> I've already tried an ATX reset, and uninstalling the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery.
by the way, did you have the same issue before installing Win 7?
