How to tell if apps are universal?

Switching to Intel Mac. How can I tell if any of my current apps are universal?

Oh. Well, you can use the System Profiler from your Utilities folder. Look down toward the bottom under the "Software" category for the "Applications" category (you might need to click on the triangle to the left of "Software" to reveal it). Be patient if you have a lot of applications, and eventually they'll show up in the right hand pane. You might also have to make some of the columns in the right a little narrower to get to the "Kind" column.
You can save three different kinds of reports (again, be patient, as it can take a while to generate them).

How to tell what apps are "running" in multitasking pane?

My understanding of how the ipad works is that when one presses the home button, the open app closes. However, when multitasking using the bar, how does one determine which apps are actively running versus which apps are simply displayed as part of the recently used apps list? I often have multiple safari windows plus a few apps open at one time. (I know I can view the safari windows by hitting the "windows" icon on the menu bar.
I'd like to be able to conserve battery life by killing background apps when necessary. But there is no "task pane" to see what's open at any given time.
Any help appreciated,

The recent apps bar is really for selecting among recent apps. That is to say it is a way to switch between apps without having to go to the app screens to find the app.
Note only a subset of apps are actually capable of multitasking and these are rather obvious when they are running. There is an indicator to the left of the battery level indicator which indicates this (>).
Let me give an example. I just opened an app called My First Puzzle Toys. From the app home screen there is no close or exit option. With the app open, if I touch the home button on the bottom of the bezel, does this close it? Or is it still running? Similarly, if I double click the home button and choose Safari from the list, are both then running? Another example: I just double clicked the home button and launched Labryinth. The game's home screen has no exit choice. If I double click the home button and choose Safari, is Labrynith still running?
Maybe I just don't understand how this os works. Do apps not use memory if they are not actively shown on the screen?

Colorblind users can't tell what apps are running

There needs to be a setting under Dock Preferences to CHANGE THE COLOR of the dot under running applications in the Dock.
I know the dot is there because I asked where the arrows went in the Apple Store and they told me it was there. After straining and squinting, I can almost see it. This is NOT ACCEPTABLE.
With my color blind situation, I can no longer tell what apps are running or not. I have to press command-option-escape for force quit just to see what is running.
Either bring back the Tiger black arrow, or allow a preference so that color blind users can tell what is going on.

You bring up an excellent point but no one at Apple who can make the change is likely reading Discussions. Put in a request for the Dock improvement at Apple OS X Feedback where it will be put in Apple's system for user requests.

Does anyone know how to see what apps are still open on lion? On snow leopard you just had to slide three fingers side ways I believe thanks

Anyone know how to see what apps are still open on lion?

If you do not have the light in dock active, activate it, or slide three finger up to open Mission Control or in Force qQuit all open programs are listed (even the hidden ones).
Hope that helps..

How can I tell which apps are using data

Perhaps this is a suggestion, just in case someone who is in a position to note this at Apple (not likely?) might read it.
How about an app included in the OS that allows users to track which apps are transmitting and receiving data through cellular data and/or wireless.
I keep getting charged by AT&T (it took restraint to not type a bunch of explatives before AT&T) for escessive data usage, even though I'm in wifi 90%+ of each day, and purposely restrict using it when not in wifi. Seriously, I don't now how I could use it less barring not using it at all, and I still get charged for data. I have no idea how to control this since I cannot tell which, if any, apps are transmitting data in the background, or if that's even possible.
Seriously annoyed at getting charged extra when the 'service' they provide barely works for me the miniscule amount of times I try to use it.

This is a user to user forum.
You can leave feedback here

You could also try searching for an app that tracks data usage

How to tell which maps are the latest?

I have Maps v3.01 loaded on my 6710 Navigator (came with free worldwide licence) and Map Loader v3.0.28 on my PC.
How do I tell which maps are loaded on my Nokia and what version/date the maps availalble on Map Loader are?
Map Loader does not state which maps are already on my phone, nor does it state the date or version of the maps which can be uploaded.
Obviously, I'd like to install newer versions of my country map if and when it is available, but how do I know which version is available and which I already have?
Ovi.com does not seem to be the answer either as all maps were downloaded using Map Loader.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you already have a free worldwide license and V 3.01 is working well for you then you are right to leave it for the moment. I hear of problems searching for addresses etc with V3.03. Can always update later when everything is sorted.
I believe if you delete all your maps and then use Ovi Suite to download new maps, Ovi Suite will at least tell you what maps you have on your phone. I haven;t tried it myself because I can't stand Ovi Suite.
Speed warning is available for Ireland but just like you I have to import the speed camera locations as landmarks. Hopefully, we will see these as new features in future updates.

?? About how many downloads the apps are getting

If anyone can help, it would be appreciated. Either first hand knowledge or information you have heard or read would be fine.
I am doing market research and wonder how many application/game downloads are really occuring in the App Store/iTunes for iPhones/iPod Touch devices. I know how many total downloads they have (200 million), but any only concerned with Paid Apps/Games. So if anyone can answer these questions or share some light, thanks
1) How many of the 200 million downloads are from paid apps
2) Does anyone know how many paid downloads it takes to take the #1 spot daily, #10 spot, #25 spot, and #50 spot
3) How many apps/games have you paid for, and how many free ones have you downloaded.
Thanks again.

I couldn't update os in ipad1,how to know what apps are supported in os5

HOw to know what apps supported by iPad 1

Try this link to find apps whose current version is compatible with iOS 5.1.1 and below : https://sites.google.com/site/appleclubfhs/support/advice-and-articles/finding-a pps-for-older-devices#5.1.1
Some developers allow you to download older compatible versions of their apps, so if it's an app is free you could try downloading the current version on your computer's iTunes and see if you can then download a previous compatible version via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your iPad : Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support . If the app is paid-for then contact the developer first and see if that will work, don't buy it and then find that it doesn't

How to tell what fonts are missing in a Photosohp CS5 document?

Hello! I have received some work from a graphic designer. I need to modify some of the text in the document. When I open the document I get an error message:
Some text layers might need to be updated before they can be used for vector based output. Do you want to update these layers now? [Update] [No]
If I click [Update] it replaces the font with Myriad Pro. If I click [No] the text looks the way the designer intended, but I have the exclamation mark-triangle symbol over the layer with the text. If I try to edit the text I get another warning:
Editing or rendering the text layer "Text Layer" will cause its layout to change. Continue? [Cancel] [OK]
The same behavior described above occurs. If I click [Cancel] I obviously can't edit the text. If I click [OK] it changes the font to Myriad Pro.
I would like to determine what font the layer is using. I could swear that previous versions of Photoshop would tell me what fonts were missing when I opened a document. I can't use the text tool to select the text without it changing the font. Other posts have mentioned using the text tool to look at the text drop-down to find a greyed-out font which indicates the missing font. I do not have that. I only have perhaps 200 fonts installed. Can anyone tell me how to determine what fonts a .PSD document is using? I would prefer not to bug the graphic designer if possible. Thanks much!
~ Dan

Not sure why you are getting ""Font is present on the system but requires a layout change.", usually you do not get that instead the name of the font shows.
We use extensis Universal Type Client, so the fonts load automatically upon opening files, and never really get missing fonts in Photoshop.
Actually fontbook has auto font loading if you want to give that a try. Fontbook >> Preferences

How to tell which app on N85 held up the connectio...

There are time the network connection indicator shows up no matter GPRS or 3G for no appearent reason, my phone drain battery quick especially when it is on 3G, but it seems no way to tell exactly what app is using the connection, or I can deal with it.

Thanks for the response kps.
looks like you may want to use JButton<<I had tried JLabel and JButton but neither had a solution. I now know to use getSource which works
You are creating so many listener classes...whereas you need to have only one class and use the same object to register for all JButtons...<<Someone else has made the same point. I think I know what you mean by this, but am not sure how to implement.

Change Data Capture How to Tell which you are running Sync or Asyn

Hi ,
I am taking over a new system that has change data capture running, but Im really confused how this is running. Most of the CDC is set up using Sync(triggers), but I have about 5 tables that DO NOT have system generated triggers on them. I know Streams is NOT running/configured. I know Capture is not running/configured (because nothing in DBA_CAPTURE table). I can tell that these 5 tables are still getting updated in the change table schema. I can not figure out how the 5 tables that DO NOT have triggers on them are updating the change data set tables.
I had thought the the 5 tables, must be configured with HOTLOG, but when I look at the CHANGE_SETS table they all (including these 5 tables) are set to CHANGE SOURCE NAME = SYNC SOUCE. I would expected that to be HOTLOG_SOURCE. So I "assume" they aren't set up using Asnc. hot log mode. So maybe the other Async modes are used, but not pushed to another database? Is that possible?
Any other ideas on how to figure out how the CDC is set up for these 5 tables?
thanks for your help.

Thanks for the reply, but I think I must have not stated the problem clearly. I dont WANT to set the source I want to figure out how this CDC is working. I see ALL the sources are currently set to SYNC_SOURCE. Almost all of the tables are set up with system triggers on them, but 5 dont have system triggers, yet the source says SYNC_SOURCE. I did validate that the change tables are getting updated for these tables. my question is how are they getting updated? I "assume" since they dont have system triggers ont eh table they aren't synchoronus cdc (like the other tables are). yet the source says SYNC_SOURCE. What am I missing? How can I tell if the redo log is populating those changes tables? Im pretty sure it is (Becuase there aren't triggers or jobs running), but Im curious if there is a way to tell for sure.
Thanks,

How to tell if you are running an exe or vi

My searching skills suck today.
I am building an exe using the application path to find certain files that need to be included. It works great in the exe, but when making changes to the VI all the paths are broken because of the application path. But I remember back a while someone had a way to tell if you were running the program as a VI or an exe. Then when the program starts it can choose the correct paths to use.
Any ideas on how to do that? Or is there a better way to run the program as a VI and an exe without breaking paths?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Drop a property node of the 'Application' class, select Application->Kind. The output is an enum of Development vs. Runtime vs. Student vs. Embedded... you get the idea.

How to tell if you are buying a full version or upgrade

buying adobe premiere pro cs3 - how can you tell from the numbers on the packaging if it is a full version (commercial) or educational or just an upgrade, I was on hold for nearly 2 hours with adobe customer service and nobody picked up.
cheers

Are you buying from the Adobe Store? The package WILL state whether it's the full, an upgrade (see Phil's comment), or the eductional version.
Are you buying from a certified reseller? The package SHOULD give the full details.
Are you buying from eBay? Who knows what you'll get, or whether it will work?
Are you buying from an individual? Other than asking them, and trusting them, I'm not sure that there's a way to tell. Maybe a certain UPC on a clean shrink-wrapped box could yield a clue.
Note: if you need a key-gen, or similar, for the installation key and for a S/N, it will certainly be bogus. I realize that you know this, but I felt that I had to include it for any others.
Good luck,

How to tell which Indexes are not being used?

We are a large development shop and have many customers. Our database design is very generic so that it works for all of our customers. Each night we use an SSIS ETL process to bring down large amounts of data from the iSeries into SQL. One
particularily large customer takes a very long time and we are looking for ways to speed up thier data import and transformation. I would like to see which indexes he does not use and possibly remove them. Each night we fully repopulate hundreds of staging
and ods tables and incrementally delete and repopulate the days work for a handful of history type tables. Removing some indexes off of the large tables could make a big impact.
How can i tell which indexes the customer does not use?

Just because an index is not being used does not necessarily mean it should be removed.

How to tell which pages are linked to a template

How can you tell, from a template, all of the pages which it affects.
I have some "junk" templates that are from previous experiments which I am trying to remove, I wouldn't want them to be a part of something important.

Do a simple search on source code in your entire site for the name of the Template file. You will get a Results panel showing every instance of that filename...specifically each page that uses that Template will be on that list.
