Is there a way to 'number lock', the keyboard

When entering numerical characters, if you use the spacebar, the keyboard reverts back to the letter character set. Is there a way to number lock the keyboard to stop this happening?
If not, it may be a consideration for a future update.

  • Is there a way to allow all the keyboards to flip sideways?

    I have stubby fingers! I much prefer typing on the keyboard when my iPod is sideways, but not all of them permit that feature. Is there something I can do?

    To uncheck all, highlight all the files (Command + A) then control click and choose uncheck selection. You can do the reverse and recheck them all if/when you need to.

  • Is there a way I can lock the Trash on a User's account?

    An elderly friend suffers from dementia and it is more and more difficult to keep his computer working.
    In confusion, he will for no apparent reason, drag an application into the Trash, then empty the Trash.
    I have now set up his computer so he is a Standard User and I am the Administrator. This allowed me to put Parental Controls on his account so he can no longer alter or move applications to the trash. I can see no way, however, of preventing him from moving files or folders ito the Trash.
    Since the OS does seem to have a way to accomplish this, is there any 3rd-party software which will?

    There are several third-party utilities that provide greater control over and add features to Trash. Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    Additionally there are some utilities that provide some other useful features you may wish to examine: Hazel and Automaton.

    The phone will automatically re-appear when it connects to the Internet. However, don't get your hopes up, as thieves know this & will make sure your phone never re-connects so you can locate it.

  • Is there a way to password lock specific files I put on the playbook?

    is there a way to password lock specific files I put on the playbook - both media & non-media files/folders?
    ideally if a file is password locked, it can also be made hidden?
    thanks.

    from my personal perspective, a device should always be password protected. I cannot see any case where you would accept for any device to be borrowed for someone to use.

  • I have converted a number of songs to mp3 format on my iMac, is there a way to view just the songs that have been converted in iTunes?

    I have converted a number of songs to mp3 format on my iMac, is there a way to view just the songs that have been converted in iTunes?

    You can view tracks in a given format by selecting to show the Kind column. If you mean you want to determine which specific MP3 tracks you have that were converted by iTunes as opposed to being imported in MP3 format, Get Info on a track and look at the "encoded with" field.

  • Before I buy Adobe software from a private party, is there a way I can verify the serial number is valid?

    Before I buy Adobe software from a private party, is there a way I can verify the serial number is valid?

    No.
    Other than contacting Adobe Customer Service.
    Unfortunately, that's the risk you run with buying pre-owned software from 3rd party vendors. You have no idea if it's pirated.

  • Is there a way to passcode lock my iPhone without waiting for the preset idle time?

    Is there a way to passcode lock my iPhone without waiting for the preset time?
    My iPhone is set up to require a passcode after 15 minutes of idle time. Normally, this setting works best for me. However, there are times when I would like to lock it immediately, without waiting for the 15 minutes of idle time to pass. Is there a way to do that easily, without changing my settings? I know that I can click the power button to immediately kill the screen, but that just defaults to "slide to open" with no passcode required.
    Just to clarify, the idea is to leave my 15 minute setting, since this is the way I like it 98% if the time. I'm just wondering if, let's say I am resting my phone down while a curious person is around, I can quickly pass code lock it, much like I could just click the power button to put it to sleep.

    Unfortunately, my phone doesn't ask for the passcode when I do this (just slide-to-open). I've searched settings, but I don't see any way to set it up to require the passcode after the screen is locked with the power button.
    Do you remember how you set your iPhone up to achieve this?

    give me the answer via email.
    thank you

    iTunes does not provide this information. Their documentation suggests a couple of things you may be able to do:

  • Is there a way to dynamically determine the number of out parameters for a server side procedure?

    Hi,
    Below is a helper method used for calling a server-side function which loops through the inbound bindVars parameter to populate the function's IN parameters. Is there a way to dynamically determine the IN/OUT parameters based on the procedure name in the stmt parameter? No members of the CallableStatement class seemed promising, but the getParameterMetaData() method in the PreparedStatement class seemed like it could be helpful lead. However, I have not found any detailed descriptions (yet) of how to use it.
    protected Object callStoredFunction(int sqlReturnType, String stmt,
      Object[] bindVars) {
      CallableStatement st = null;
      try {
      // 1. Create a JDBC CallabledStatement 
      st = getDBTransaction().createCallableStatement(
      "begin ? := "+stmt+";end;",0);
      // 2. Register the first bind variable for the return value
      st.registerOutParameter(1, sqlReturnType);
      if (bindVars != null) {
      // 3. Loop over values for the bind variables passed in, if any
      for (int z = 0; z < bindVars.length; z++) {
      // 4. Set the value of user-supplied bind vars in the stmt
      st.setObject(z + 2, bindVars[z]);
      // 5. Set the value of user-supplied bind vars in the stmt
      st.executeUpdate();
      // 6. Return the value of the first bind variable
      return st.getObject(1);
      catch (SQLException e) {
      throw new JboException(e);
      finally {
      if (st != null) {
      try {
      // 7. Close the statement
      st.close();
      catch (SQLException e) {}

    The PreparedStatement.getParameterMetaData() object is exactly what you need for this task.
    Once you have the ParameterMetaData you can ask it how many parameters are present and which mode they are. The parameters are numbered from 1 to n and you can use ParameterMetaData.getParameterMode(1); to get the mode of the 1st parameter. The modes are defined as static values in the ParameterMetaData object. Check out the doc at http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/sql/ParameterMetaData.html

  • Is there a way to automatically insert the filename in the footer of a spreadsheet using iWork's numbers 3.2?

    Is there a way to automatically insert the filename of a spreadsheet into the footer when using iworks numbers 3.2?  iworks 09 had this feature and I can't find this feature in the new version of numbers.

    Hi rhyolite,
    In Numbers 3.x, The Print View and Layout View have gone (for now at least). Page Headers and Footers can only be reached under Menu > File > Print... to open Print Preview. Hover the cursor to reveal the Page Header and Footer fields.
    The only inserts that I can get to work in Print Preview are Page Number, Page Count and Date & Time. Filename is no longer in the Insert menu.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • Is there a way to figure out the name behind an Apple ID?

    Is there a way to figure out the name behind an Apple ID?  My oganization uses an iPad as a kiosk.  Somone accessed the iPad, changed the Apple ID associated with iTunes, downloaded a game and set a password to lock up the whole iPad.  We had to completely restore the iPad in order to access it.  When I tried to upload a new app, a different Apple ID popped up, and I'm assuming it was the person who locked the iPad and downloaded the game.  I would like to figure out who owns that account, just so we can not allow that person access to the iPads anymore.
    Is there a way to do this?

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    Perhaps with a court order because the person committed a criminal act. Otherwise it is doubtful that Apple would violate the privacy of a client/account holder just on your word.

  • Is there a way to permanently set the mailbox order?

    Is there a way to permanently set the sequence in which mailboxes are displayed in the left-most panel of Mail? I can drag and drop the mailboxes into the order I want, and they seem to stick around - at least until I update any of the accounts. The moment I update an accounts prefernces in Preferences, Accounts, the display order is set to the same order that appears on the preferences display. 
    I have a fairly large number of email accounts, and often have to tweak settings, so it's a bit of a pain to have to reset the order every time I make a change.
    This is occurring on both my MBP and my iMac.

    Same question.
    I recently left Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
    Previously, in the side bar of Mail, (the one you make visible using "Show" in a previous post here), I was able to drag and drop any of the Reception mailboxes to the place I wanted to select, to put them in the order I wished, and this order remained until I decide to change it.
    This seems not possible any more, or... just for the current session. If I close Mail and reopen, Reception boxes are re-ordered in alphabetic way.
    Any way to make my choice permanent as before ???
    To make it more clear, ordering my way is possible by drag and dropping for private mailboxes, but not for reception mailboxes associated to different mail accounts, the order is lost once Mail is closed.
