Is there any 'better' silicone keyboard covers than others?

For the full size aluminum keyboard? Can somebody link me to one they'd suggest.
I know this is probably in the wrong section but I had NO idea where to post this. Thanks in advance.

Try Googling iSkin.

Is there any better way for updating table other than this?

Hi all, I need to update a row in the table that require me to search for it first (the table will have more than hundred thousands of row). Now, I am using a LOV that will return the primary key of the row and put that primary key to DEFAULT_WHERE property in the block and execute query command to fetch the row that need updating. This works fine except that it require 2-query-trip per update (the lov and the execute_query). Is there any better way to doing this? This update is the main objective for my application and I need to use the most effective way to do it since we need to update many records per hour.

Thanks Rama, I will try your method. Others, how to query row instead of primary key? I thought that querying primary key is faster due to the index?
BTW, what people do if you need to update a table using Form? I have been using the LOV then execute query since I first developing form. But I am building a bigger database recently that I start worrying about multiple query trip to dbms.
FYI my table will have up to million rows on it. Each row will be very active (updated) within 1-2 weeks after it creation. After that it will exist for records purposes only (select only). The active rows are probably less than 1% of all the rows.

Are there any ways to get sequence number other than getting it for each re

are there any ways to get sequence number other than getting it for each record

CACHE is the number of values Oracle stores in memory. So the first call to NEXTVAL Oracle grabs x numbers; subsequent calls to NEXTVAL are served from memory until they're all gone and them another bunch is grabbed. The attached sql*plus output demonstrates this behaviour.
Note that normally unused numbers in the cache are returned to the data dictionary but in exceptional circumstances (DB crash) they may be lost.

How to find out whether my Iphone 3Gs is officlially unlocked ( factory unlocked ) or "made" unlocked ? Can I upgrade its OS to OS 5 even if my phone is "made" unlocked ? how to up gared its OS ? are there any better ways to do it ?

How to find out whether my Iphone 3Gs (OS version 3.1.3) is officlially unlocked ( factory unlocked ) or "made" unlocked ? Can I upgrade its current OS 3.1.3 to OS 5 even if my phone is not officlially unlocked ? how to up grade its OS ? what are there any better ways to do it ?
Thanks,
PRANAJ

Depends wher you obtained the iPhone from and it's original supplier
If the iPhone is an authorised unlock ( approved by the carrier) or was
purchased from Apple as an unlocked iPhone updating the iOS
will have no effect on the iPhone and it's lock status
HOWEVER if the software has been tampered with to remove the lock,
updating the iOs will lock the iPhone back to the original carrier who holds the lock
To find out the status of your iPhone you could call Apple support
and they may tell you if the iPhone is locked or not and if it is which carrier

You could try Handbrake, it works quite well.

Is there any better way to test an agent?

Every time when I changes some code in the agent, I have to restart the domain to load the new class file. I tried the reload the agent from the Oracle Enterprise Manager, but it is not working. The old agent is still going on. It gives me many troubles since I can't start the SMB server from Window 2000 terminal console. I have to go to the computer room to start SMB natively. Is there any better way to test an agent or start the SMB server in the Window 2000 terminal console?
Your help will be greatly appreciated!

Jailcorder requires a jail broken iDevice to work. While it is not illegal to jail brake your iPhone in the US it is illegal to jail break an iPad.
If you do that you will not be able to use these board for help as the discussion of anything relating to a jail broken iDevice is against the TOU and the hosts will remove your posts
In addition looking tha Jailcorder it seems it has not kept up with Apple. It doesn;t work Xcode 5 and IOS 7.
On final thing to keep in mind a jail broken device behaves differently then one that is non jail broken. So even of you test with Jailcode you will still need to go through testing with a non jail broken device before submitting.
All in all if you are serious about developing for IOS it would seem the better course is to get the Developer account now.

Is there any better-looking OSD than xosd?

Hi there!
I recently got into xosd, but find it rather ugly. So I'm wondering if there's any other OSD implementation that looks a little less blocky. I've heard of notify-osd, but I'd rather do without having a daemon running all the time.
So is there any viable alternatives?
Best wishes,
Rufus

I think you cannot go without a deamon for notifications. You could use the xosd library and program your own look and feel of notifications. In example, I did my notification system like this:
(import chicken scheme extras)
(use posix xosd)
(define (xosd-set-pcm osd)
(xosd:set-align osd 'left)
(xosd:set-bar-length osd 40)
(xosd:set-pos osd 'bottom)
(xosd:set-vertical-offset osd 1)
(xosd:set-horizontal-offset osd 180)
(xosd:set-colour osd "#B3B3B3")
(xosd:set-timeout osd 2))
(define (xosd-set-msg osd)
(xosd:set-align osd 'center)
(xosd:set-pos osd 'bottom)
(xosd:set-font osd "sans-8")
; *-bitstream vera sans-medium-r-normal-*-11-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"
(xosd:set-colour osd "#B3B3B3")
(xosd:set-vertical-offset osd 2)
(xosd:set-horizontal-offset osd -3)
(xosd:set-timeout osd 10))
(define (sighandler ignore)
(delete-file "/tmp/.ipcfifo")
(exit 0))
(define (ipc-server)
(define mypipe "/tmp/.ipcfifo")
(define amixercheck "amixer sget PCM | grep \"Left: Playback\" | grep -o \"\\[[0-9]*%\\]\" | tr '[%]' ' ' | tr -d \"[:blank:]\"")
(when (file-exists? mypipe)
(delete-file mypipe))
(create-fifo mypipe)
(set-signal-handler! signal/term sighandler)
(let ((osd-pcm (xosd:create 1)) (osd-msg (xosd:create 1)))
(xosd-set-pcm osd-pcm)
(xosd-set-msg osd-msg)
(let loop ()
(let ((pipedata (call-with-input-file mypipe read-line))); this blocks - sleep won't block
(cond ((string=? pipedata "checkpcm")
(let ((pcmlvl (call-with-input-pipe amixercheck read)))
(xosd:display osd-pcm 0 pcmlvl)))
(else (xosd:display osd-msg 0 pipedata))))
(loop))))
(process-fork ipc-server)
With using that I have:

Is there any better option than this slow query?

Hi all,
i want to find out lets say Ticekt no range from Variable1 - Variable 2, are all ready existed or missing from my ticket master table which is having a million records and the no grows timely.
For example i want to find out in range 30000 - 50000
if any missings it should give missing number are
34567
45678 etc . etc.
i wrote a for.. loop and im checking one bye one from ticket master table using select count(*) from ticket_master where ticket_no = var, which is time consuming and server becoming slow when i issue this query. my ticket master ticket_no is indexed.
any better idea advise please..

I am not sure I understand your problem correctly.
Here are some test datas:
create table ticket_masters ( ticket_no number) ;
exec for i in 1..1000 loop insert into ticket_masters values (round(i/0.97)); end loop
select 200-1+rownum missing from ticket_masters where rownum<=300-200
minus
select ticket_no from ticket_masters where ticket_no between 200 and 300
   MISSING
       217
       250
       283i am select rownum from ticket_masters, but I could select from anything actually, a pl/sql table, dual group by cube(1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1), all_objects, ...
Could you please do a desc ticket_masters to show me your datatype and also select a few ticket_no
Regards

Is there Any better Developer tools than Report6i/Form6i

Hi Is ther any other Editior Similar to TOAD(pl/sql Developer)
Which can ease the development by popping the method/properties

Yes i have
But can that be used for Developing the FORMS/REPORTS Applications
The One that i Used was trial version for some pl/sql Development, No, to develop Developer Forms and Reports you have to use Oracle Forms and Reports Developer. Alternatively you could use Designer for CASE forms development and Discoverer for reports, but these are completely different tools/processes.
There are no third party Forms and Reports tools that will generate Oracle forms.

Upgraded to iOS 6 and now I can't open anything in the kindle app? I have to say that I have had my ipad3 for 6 months and intensely dislike the problems with using it. Also is there any way of opening more than one screen as it is hopeless otherwise?

I Have had my iPad for 6 months as I cannot access my work emails using windows. I have to say that it is the most unhelpful device I have ever used and although it looks like there isn't an answer for some of the questions I have asked below, I thought I would try!
1) I have upgraded to ios6 and the kindle app will open but crashes and disappears when I try to access a book?
2) is there any way I can open more than one page at a time, as opening one at a time is hopeless?
3) Is there any way you can replicate the right click function on word? As pasting and copying on the iPad is irritating to say the least!
4) why can't my Samsung 11 phone connect to my iPad via Bluetooth? A they can't seem to 'see' each other? I may have turned a setting off when I was recently abroad and didn't want huge roaming charges.
5) Why do the submit buttons on some websites not work and how can I get them to? I never have a problem with windows, but it is often a problem with the iPad.
6) I have several websites which I have built and usually upgrade on the windows desktop, usually through Internet explorer, but I can't access the sites properly on the iPad (I can see them but can't alter them) and when sending emails through the websites they won't show the page and I can't navigate the page (the size of the email page is bigger than the iPad screen, but I can't either shrink the page to size or move the page around as you normally would on the pad, any ideas?
7) finally, when roaming abroad recently, I had no problems using the wifi, but when trying to use the cellular data (using the roaming function) I could not get it to work? The ipad seemed to be connected to the network with no problems, but wouldn't actually update the emails? I tried turning it on and off, but that didn't make a difference. My kindle and mobile phone (both also on 3G ) worked great, it was just (as usual) the ipad playing up.
8) when wanting to alter part of a sentence, I can't always get the cursor in the right place? Sometimes it is simple the wrong line, but often it will only go at the end or start of a word and not where I want it. Is there any way of making it more exact? Again I never have a problem with moving the cursor on windows, either by mouse or on the touch screen function on windows 7. Any ideas? As after pressing the screen multiple times I just want to throw it out of the window!
IT might just be that I don't have the correct settings (I am a technophobe) but I absolutely hate the iPad and only have it for work emails, it is so annoying that I can get my mobile phone and kindle3g to work fine, but always have problems with the iPad. I am sure it could be good (and for reading emails on the go in the uk it is great, as I like the key board) but it just seems to make everything else difficult.
i Hope you can help and sorry for asking questions others have, but I am just hoping that something new might have been developed!
thanks,
K

1) I have upgraded to ios6 and the kindle app will open but crashes and disappears when I try to access a book?
Try rebooting your iPad, that should fix he issue. I that doesn't work, delete the app and re-download it. The Kindle books should all be in he Kindle cloud services and you can get them again. I have an iPad2 w/ Kindle app and it works just fine - no issues.
2) is there any way I can open more than one page at a time, as opening one at a time is hopeless?
Page as in a kindle book way? turn iPad to landscape position from portrait position. If, however, you mean open more than one application at a time, then no. And not hopeless, as it takes a bit of time to get used to, going from a desktop/laptop format to tablet format.
3) Is there any way you can replicate the right click function on word? As pasting and copying on the iPad is irritating to say the least!
It's actually fairly easy. Press down on the word, then you can expand by drawing your finger to cover word/sentence/paragraph/page, hit select or select all then it gives you the option to cut, copy, paste, define. If you want to use a word processing app on the iPad, Pages is a good application.
4) why can't my Samsung 11 phone connect to my iPad via Bluetooth? A they can't seem to 'see' each other? I may have turned a setting off when I was recently abroad and didn't want huge roaming charges.
It's the connection on your phone. Samsung Galaxy SII? Android software? What you have to do is go to the phone's settings and connect via wireless, not Bluetooth. Go to System Settings (on phone) and under Wireless and Networks click 'more' and go to the Tethering and Portable Hotspot option. Set up your mobile wifi hotspot, name it though it will probably come up with 'AndroidAP', choose a WPA2 security level and put in a password. Go back to previous screen and turn on 'Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot' box. Then on your iPad in the Settings - Wi-Fi section, it should then recognize your phone for tethering. If it's a Windows Phone 7, I don't know the layout of that software, but presumeably similar.
5) Why do the submit buttons on some websites not work and how can I get them to? I never have a problem with windows, but it is often a problem with the iPad.
Sometimes the issue is with the website design, not all websites are optimized for mobile devices - not just iPad but also Android devices. It happens. They're getting there, but occasionally the page might need a refresh.
6) I have several websites which I have built and usually upgrade on the windows desktop, usually through Internet explorer, but I can't access the sites properly on the iPad (I can see them but can't alter them) and when sending emails through the websites they won't show the page and I can't navigate the page (the size of the email page is bigger than the iPad screen, but I can't either shrink the page to size or move the page around as you normally would on the pad, any ideas?
It depends on what you use to build the websites on the computer. Recommend a free program on the computer called CoffeeCup Free HTML Editor. I don't recommend using IE period; Firefox or Chrome are my choices on Windows machines. I have two websites that I manage, both using this program. I'm assuming that when you mean you can't access the sites on the iPad you mean to update them? Ostensible there are apps to let you do this. What format are the sites? Without seeing what exactly you mean and what you want to do, it's hard to explain.
As for seeing full page while emailing within a site, turn iPad to portrait mode, and try to finger-pinch touch the screen to see if that will bring the fuller page into view. Other option is opening a second tab with same website and just go between tabs to reference material.
7) finally, when roaming abroad recently, I had no problems using the wifi, but when trying to use the cellular data (using the roaming function) I could not get it to work? The ipad seemed to be connected to the network with no problems, but wouldn't actually update the emails? I tried turning it on and off, but that didn't make a difference. My kindle and mobile phone (both also on 3G ) worked great, it was just (as usual) the ipad playing up.
If you were outside the US or Canada, my guess is the problem lies within the SIM card in your iPad. If you were outside North America, there are different band levels - I'm guessing you have a SIM thats locked to a particular provider. Band level frequencies differ per country/continent, so a SIM card that will work in Canada/US will not likely work in UK/Europe/Asia/Australia, etc. you will be able to get your emails again when back on a wifi network. Mobile phone may have a different type SIM card (GSM/HSPA) from your iPad SIM. Also, check your email settings.
8) when wanting to alter part of a sentence, I can't always get the cursor in the right place? Sometimes it is simple the wrong line, but often it will only go at the end or start of a word and not where I want it. Is there any way of making it more exact? Again I never have a problem with moving the cursor on windows, either by mouse or on the touch screen function on windows 7. Any ideas? As after pressing the screen multiple times I just want to throw it out of the window!
Moving the cursor on a sentence is a matter of putting your finger on the screen where you want it. It's exceptionally easy to do. I'm using the Notes app to write this whole segment and I just need to put my finger where I want to change things and presto it's ready for me to change where I want it.
Here's a solution: sell your iPad (after you wipe your data off it) to someone who will appreciate it, and put your money towards the Windows Surface Tablet out later this year/early next year, where you can (reportedly) connect a mouse to it. It will have some of the Windows 7/8 functionality that you're more familiar with, or get a netbook.

Are there any rapid fire keyboard apps/plugins for Mac/OS X?

For example, if I hold down a key it will act like it's being pressed multiple times in any app?

@OGELTHORPE: No, I know about keyboard shortcuts already but I couldn't find a way to make it work. Thanks anyway.
@Grant Bennet-Alder: For some reason, this only works in certain programs like Safari and Terminal. It won't work in other apps or games. Is there any way around this or is there any app that can emulate multiple key presses at once?

Is there any way to get more than 50 podcast in feed?

I want to have more than 50 episodes in feed(not in archive). But inspector limits me to 50. Is there any way break through 50?

As far as iTunes is concerned you can have 300 episodes, but iWeb does limit you to 50 and the only way round that is to abandon it and use something else to make your podcast, which isn't a particularly convenient option as you would have to recreate everything from scratch.

Is there any way to 'recover' RAM usage (other than restarting)?

Hi everyone,
I just upgraded my White Macbook 4,1 to 4GB of RAM and when I first boot the system, Activity Monitor shows that over 3GB is free.
After several hours of usage (Mail, Safari 4 Beta, iTunes, iCal, iPhoto, Time Machine, Address Book, and yes...Activity Monitor!) it shows just over 2GB free.
Now the part that puzzles me is that even after quitting all these applications, the RAM usage does recover somewhat, but never reaches it's original >3GB of availability.
A reboot certainly does the job. But is there any other way that Leopard can recover this memory? Is this normal? If I simply leave the system idle for some time without any open applications will Leopard eventually reclaim the lost memory?
Thanks!

There's no need for any "ram" recovery. It's all handled by the memory manager. You must be coming from the world of XP. See the following:
About OS X Memory Management and Usage
Reading system memory usage in Activity Monitor
Memory Management in Mac OS X
Performance Guidelines- Memory Management in Mac OS X
A detailed look at memory usage in OS X
Understanding top output in the Terminal
The amount of available RAM for applications is the sum of Free RAM and Inactive RAM. This will change as applications are opened and closed or change from active to inactive status. The Swap figure represents an estimate of the total amount of swap space required for VM if used, but does not necessarily indicate the actual size of the existing swap file. If you are really in need of more RAM that would be indicated by how frequently the system uses VM. If you open the Terminal and run the top command at the prompt you will find information reported on Pageins () and Pageouts (). Pageouts () is the important figure. If the value in the parentheses is 0 (zero) then OS X is not making instantaneous use of VM which means you have adequate physical RAM for the system with the applications you have loaded. If the figure in parentheses is running positive and your hard drive is constantly being used (thrashing) then you need more physical RAM.

Is there any way to see more than the latest three back ups when restoring from iCloud?

I have had my phone set as icloud back up only for a couple months now and it had been backing up fine. But my wifi shut down on the phone and I couldn't back it up via iCloud. (I thought) I backed it up through my computer before taking the phone to the Genius Bar but it didn't work for some reason. And now I lost all my photos that were taken between the time that I had the wifi and when I got the phone replaced. However, I backed up the new phone via iCloud afterwards, with the phone restored to the time before i switched to iCloud backup. And I'm not a 100% sure but I'm sure it's backed up more than 3 times since I got the phone replaced. Is there any way to pick from the past iCloud backups, further back than the latest three?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I don't believe you can see more than three, unfortunately.
