ISO 7 move and scale photos for wallpaper does not work
Move and scale photos does not work when using photos as wall paper
What a nightmare! Had I known what was in store for me, I would never have updated my iPAD Mini to iOS7.
The calendar with it's ultra-thin Helvetica is near impossible to see. To add insult to injury, not being able
to move and size a wallpaper photo is just totally unacceptable. So annoying when software is thrown out
there for the general public when it's obviously not ready. I tried the solution:
Go to Settings > General > Assessibility > Reduce Motion "set to OFF"
Next, in Settings > Wallpapers & Brightness > Choose Wallpaper (pick the wallpaper) - you should now be able to "Move and Scale" the photo that you've chosen for your wallpaper.
After you've SET the wallpaper, you can go back to Parallax motion by turning Reduce Motion to "ON" (see step 1)
And it just DOES NOT WORK. Plain and simple. I am so tired of Apple products that have bugs that we are all expected to work through and work out while paying anywhere from $500 to $2000 for a product. And of course you can't get online support in a quick, efficient manner. My big old $600 bite out the Apple is tasting mighty sour at the moment.

Unable to move and scale photos for wallpaper on IPad mini after iOS 7 update.
After update to iOS7 on my IPad mini, I am able to select my personal photos for the wallpaper, but I cannot move and scale them to fit. The option is there but unresponsive. I already had to remove the protective case to access the new control panel via up swipe which must begin below the screen next to the "home" button to initiate. Now I can no longer personalize the wall paper with my own photos. It's been a frustrating experience without any real perceptible improvements.

Since downloading iOS 7 can't move and scale pics for wallpaper?
Any tips on how to move and scale pics for wallpaper? Cannot be done since downloading iOS 7
I have tried a lot of the suggesstions I've found here and on the web -- the "Accessibility >> Reduce Motion" on/off stuff, editing the original image in Photoshop and e-mailing it to myself (downsized it, changed the overall canvas size of the image, etc., etc.), and I've found that the best fix might just be a combination of some of them, along with some tweaking of the photo...
Ensure that "Reduce Motion" is ON (Settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion, set the slider to "on" (green)).
When taking a new photo, take it with your iPhone/iPad, oriented vertically ("Portrait") -- This makes the whole process quite a bit easier.
Access the photo in the "Camera" app.
Tap Edit.
Use the Crop tool to remove excess content from left and right (basically, you want a vertical rectangle, with your subject matter centered in it).
Tap Crop. The image will be slightly enlarged to fit your screen.
Tap Save.
Tap the "square with a vertical arrow" button (bottom left) -- Sorry don't know what this button is called.
Scroll through the options at the bottom of the screen and select "Use as Wallpaper".
Tap Set, then pick which screen(s) should use the photo. Bingo... new, properly-scaled wallpaper.
This is a band-aid at best, but it works. I've also Edited existing photos (taken in Landscape mode (wide)), and if I could crop the desired subject matter to fit in a tall rectangle, it more-or-less worked.
Side note: With "Reduce Motion" set to off, when I applied a photo as a wallpaper, I noticed that, even though I'd cropped it as a vertical rectangle, the image was still force-zoomed, and content was cropped out. Turn it back on, and the image was as I'd cropped it.
Hope this helps!

The new iOS is great no doubt. but why did apple remove the ability to move and scale photos to fit in the background? thats really week, uncalled for, I cannot think of a technical excuse. did anyone find a way around this??
Yeah, I understand about this new parallax feature, but that's not an excuse not to able to scale the image to fit right on my iPhone 5, 5s, iPod Touch or iPad, I mean really with today's technology Apple should be on top of its game! I been with Apple gadgets since day one I have invested years! Unfortunately seems like Apple is either starting to feed us rushed products & having us as testers without pay or their just cutting corners now? I have a love & hate thing going on with this iOS7, we spend lots of money on Apple gadgets!...Sorry but I'm starting to think about Samsung more & more from what I'm seeing & going through with Apple....

How do I get a picture to stay when I move and scale it for my home screen?
Unfortunately that seems to be a known bug. And something we have to wait for APple to fix. THere are other threads on the same topic and some people have work arounds so you might want to poke around in the 'more like this' on the right.

Updated my iPhone to new iOS6 and my Memory Loader app does not work! Is there a fix for the problem as it seems I am not the only one coming across this issue?
Other than what you have already done, you should clear the cache from your browser and, if you use it, your Facebook app. Also, deleting old texts can free up some room.

I just upgraded to the New OS on my Mac Book Pro and now my trackpad does not zoom in or out. I looked at system settings on trackpad and it is set, but does not work How do I get it started?
This is really unfortunate. I'm sorry that nothing works. I was going to mention holding down the power button and doing a force shutdown but you already did that. You might need to take it into the Apple store. I don't know if booting into safe mode would help. You would have to turn off the machine again, hit the start button and hold down the shift key after you hear the tone, but normally you would let go of the shift key when you see the apple logo and spining wheel. Maybe by holding down the shift key after you here the tone will cause the screen to come back on? The other option is to start up from the 'install disk' if your machine came with one. You would insert the disk, then shut down the computer, and hold down the C key right after hitting the start button.
Here's the link for the safeboot

Reflow in Adobe Reader for Android does not work
The reflow option in my Adobe reader for Android does not work. The PDF book I am trying to read is too wide to be legible when I fit it into the screen (even in landscape), but the reflow button doesn't change that. When I click it, nothing happens. The only thing I know to do is to uninstall and re-install, but that did not work. Any other tips or ideas?
Mehwish,
Thank you so much for responding, and so quickly. I appreciate it.
It does not appear as though the PDF I am trying to read would have an element in it that would block it from reflow, but that is always possible. It’s a textbook, and I understand that toward the end of the book there are some charts and diagrams, but I haven’t gotten to those chapters yet. So far, I’ve just been trying to use the Adobe Reader to read the introduction and first chapter and nothing I have done has made it reflow.
I’m enclosing a copy of the entire book. Perhaps you can uncover something in it that I didn’t see.
Thanks again for you help.

Ipad displays “ipad is disabled connect to itunes”, I have tried putting the ipad into recovery mode and then restoring but that does not work. I have also tried doing a hard reset of the ipad and that does not work either. Any ideas?
My son let one of his friends use his ipad. The next time he tired to use it he could not get it unlocked, I tired to unlock it but it kept telling me that I had the wrong pass code. With out me knowing my son continued to tire until it completely disabled it self.How can I unlock my iPad if I forgot the passcode?

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

when I click on a package body - I get "loading ..." below it but it never puts the
procedure names in and the "loading ..."message stays in the tree view - however you do get to see the packages in the source window.
Realise this is very much a work in progress and am grateful to see an early release such as this. Looking forward to the production release.
Best regards,
David.OK thanks for looking ....you've obviously got the fixes on your to do lists
Noticed that the SQL tab when you select an object works fine - displays the
DDL for the object
Do you think you'll have functionality so you can select many objects (shift left click) and
then create a DDL script for them? It looks like you can do this for all objects in a schema but
the ability to select a subset of objects in a schema would be very useful for our DBA's.
Couldn't see any good reason for keeping using SQLNavigator
Many congratulations on producing such a useful tool.
Kind regards,
David. -
The Help Tab (OSX ML) where you search for something does not work
If I click "Help" and then search "expand" it will show me where expand is. But in CS6 when I clicked it the command would go through and pull up the page to expand pixels. Instead, I have to go find it. It works in every other Adobe app I use except Photoshop CC.

Thanks a lot for your help (and sorry for not having answered quicker, but my boss gave me a more urgent task last week...).
Anyway, I did what you suggested (re-importing into a brand new project), and then the search for synonyms really worked! But, being a sceptical person, I did the same with another project, and with that one, it did not work. So, what I did next was compare all the settings of these two projects, and I found a difference.
RH8 now contains a function that's called 'Teilzeichenfolgensuche' (I don't know the English expression, but have a look at the attached picture: this is a screen shot from the second page when I generate WebHelp). After having done several tests, I came to the following conclusions:
Search for synonyms does not work in HTML-Help, but it does work in WebHelp (and maybe others, but they are not relevant for me, so I did not test them);
Search for synonyms does only work, when the function 'Teilzeichenfolgensuche' is NOT activated.
Could maybe somebody test this, too, and post here whether my conclusions are really correct?
Btw: This fact is not mentioned in the RH-Manual; actually, this function 'Teilzeichenfolgensuche' is not even mentioned there (at least not in the German edition)!!!
Can hardly wait to see your feedback; thanks again for everybody's support!
