Issues with styles: any help gratefully received!
Hi all!
I made the [perhaps reckless!] decision to use Pages as my primary word processing software for my PhD. I found a great bibliographic editor [Sente], and liked the look and feel of Pages.
Now, 6 months, and about 10,000 words in, I am still broadly happy with my decision: apart from one thing that drives me mad! Any help would be appreciated.
Say I copy text, for example, from the main body to a footnote. The source style is retained. No problem. So, I highlight the text and then click on one of the stlyes in my style draw. In this example, the "footnote" style I have defined. Now.... it just doesnt seem to do this operation smoothly. In this case..... it never applies the font size of the style I choose to change it to. Its driving me nuts! And when I copy text from another source into the main body, and then highlight and select a style from the draw to change... it seems to want to keep the source file, or change it to helvetica, and ignore my styles.
This is really driving me mad, and I am thinking I should transfer all my documents to Word 2008 [which I own], but I really like Pages, and dont want to have to do this if at all possible.
Any suggestions?
Cheers!
Stevie

We've just bought 2 iPads and seen our home internet usage nearly treble! (But our browsing habits haven't changed) Coincidence or unrelated? Any help gratefully received
"Our browsing habits haven't changed" - with all due respect, unless you have kept a diary or other record of specific internet activity, you have no way of knowing that. And you make no mention of what was used prior to the iPads to do this, so it would be difficult to make any kind of comparison.
Not only the browsers, but any number of apps on the iPads also access the internet.
You might want to check location services, and potentially turn it off for any apps that really don't need it. Likewise check you mail set up and reduce reliance on Push (I have mine set to strictly manual, but more to reduce interruptions than reducing internet usage) -
any ideas on this one - i am slowly loosing the will to live:(
After opening iTunes, you will find a button at the top left corner of the window, so press it. Then, you will see the Store menu or an option to authorize the PC. Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5610

this comes up as an extra tab sometimes it is a website link but more often than not it comes up with the warning page on firefox
Sorry your experience wasn't a plesant one, but most of the issues they work on are hardware in nature, not software.. I'm not taking up for Apple... I'd had my share of run-ins with them as well.
As for your iTunes issue... an EASY solution is to simply tell iTunes that the location you want your tunes stored in is your Public folder. Items in your public folder can be seen and opened by others, so your wife could easily access the files there.
For you, go to your Music folder, find the iTunes folder, and drag it to your public folder.
Next, go to iTuness>Preferences and click on the Advanced tab, then the General Tab, and the first window you see is the iTunes Music Folder Locataion. Click Change, then navigate to the iTunes folder in you Public folder.
Now, next time you purchase a song from the iTunes store, or import songs from a CD, they will be stored in the iTunes folder, in your public folder.
You wife does basically the same thing except she navigates to YOUR public folder, and the iTunes folder inside.
She will have to manually find and import any new songs you add but at least your entire library will be available for her to listen to.
There are other ways of getting the same thing done, but I think this is the easiest.

My issue with struts, any help ?
hi all
first time being here, hope a good time ....
my issue is that when I try to prevent from direct access to jsp under struts framework by place jsp files under /WEB-INF/pages on tomcat 5.0.30 ,I made it from index.jsp (/index.jsp) to /WEB-INF/pages/1.jsp by using ForwardAction , but when I try to nevigate to 2.jsp (relative to 1.jsp) without a ForwardAction , the container prompted me resource is not available, so the problem is if I have to use a FrowardAction everytime when I wanna access to jsp files somewhere under /WEB-INF, even from jsp which is in the same directory under /WEB-INF
any hand will be preciated !
thanks a lot in adv !!
blf0first - thanks for your reply
I can understand what you mean , to adhere to the MVC conception , we need to have any action go through the controler .
but , once I wanna access to a jsp file , then I need to set a global-forward and a ForwardAction , when time goes by, and the project keeps getting larger , so there will be too many forwards and FrowardActions , right ?
actually , I have a Office.jsp , which has a frameset inside , left and right,each invokes a jsp file like this :
<frameset rows="*" cols="144,*" framespacing="2" frameborder="NO" border="2" bordercolor="#CC0000">
<frame src="OfficeLeft.jsp" name="leftFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize>
<frame src="Notification.jsp" name="RightFrame">
</frameset>
when I have successfully forwarded to this Office.jsp , it prompts OfficeLeft.jsp and Notification.jsp are not available. so my problem is I don't know how to get this work fine . -
Have anew netgear router and now mac keeps freezing and iphone wont download e mails. Help
Hello TracyOShea,
It sounds like your Mac is becoming unresponsive for no apparent reason. I recommend starting by resetting your computers SMC:
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
Resetting the SMC for Mac Pro, Intel-based iMac, Intel-based Mac mini, or Intel-based Xserve
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
Then perform a Safe Boot, and then restart the computer again and retest the issue:
OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564
To start up into Safe Mode (to Safe Boot), follow these steps.
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key.
The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
After the logo appears, you should see a progress bar during startup. This indicates that your computer is performing a directory check as part of Safe Mode.
To leave Safe Mode, restart your computer without holding any keys during startup.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

I have an I pad2, an iMac desktop(2012) and an I phone 5, how do I get them all to be able to face time with each other, do I need different email addresses, use the phone number, or the sim number in the iPad ? Any help gratefully received !!
Graham,
For the iPad, iMac you need to create verifyible e-mail addresses created with one of the providers such as Yahoo, Gmail,etc. For the iphone you should use it's phone number, but an e-mail could be used for it too. If you want to associate these e-mail addresses with a single ID, I'm including a link to give you info about how you can do that. Read it carefully, as it can be a bit confusing.

Hi All, Really hope some of you techies may have suggestions for this as it's driving me nuts. I actually have a new PC and a new laptop, and the same thing happens with both machines. With my PC, the first time I plugged my iPod in, I was asked whether I wanted to wipe everything on my iPod, and reload as per the library on my new machine. As I use my iPod in my zumba and dance classes, I was very weary of doing this before I had checked to ensure all my music was in my library, so at that point I replied 'No'. Since then, i~Tunes registers my iPod, but will not sync to the library (and playlists) on my i
Tunes. It seems bonkers to have to go as far as uninstalling, then reinstalling, iTunes. Is there really no other way to get round this?
Any suggestions gratefully received!thought that it was possible to have the same iTunes library on any machine that was authorised, a kind of cloud-iTunes I guess.
That would convenient, but sadly it is not the case. Sorry!
Either way your welcome and best of luck!

When I turn on my iPad the grey 'brightness slider' is in the centre of the screen and I can't get rid of it. I've tried switching on / off 'auto-brightness' in 'settings' but it won't go away. What am I doing wrong? Any advice gratefully received.
That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the Operating System data on the hard drive is somehow corrupted.
Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.
If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead. -

When adding Custom Text to a slideshow in Aperture, I can no longer centre the text in the text box. Is there something I am missing? I am running Aperture 3.6 on Yosemite. Any ideas gratefully received, thanks.
Which theme are you using?
When I am adding text in a slideshow, I found, that it will depend on the theme, if the text will be centered or flushed left. The Classic and Ken Burns theme are centering the text, the newer themes will present it flushed left.
I found no way to select a custom justification for the text. -
Hi, I have recently done some online updates and now I have to restart my mac each time for the stupid thing to recognise my internet settings. Any help gratefully accepted.
Please be specific about the updates.
Were they Apple updates from Software Update or were they downloaded updates, including 3rd party updates from a website (Including Apple's)? -
Why has my ipad mini stopped connecting with my iPhone 4S? I used to use it to download books, or transfer emails to my ipad mini. It was fine 3 days ago, now I get a message saying " cannot join with iPhone" Any help greatly appreciated.
You can try resetting your iPad and iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists. -
Issue with processing time of JDBC receiver adapter
Hi all,
We are using PI 7.1 EHP1.
We have an issue with JDBC receiver adapter taking too much time to process messages.
We are using XML SQL format message protocol with INSERT_UPDATE as the document format.
Each message can contain multiple records, i.e. 1 single message can result in many updates/inserts.
Currently, time taken to process in 6-12 secs which is quite high considering the messages are not very large in size.
We sent the statements to Oracle DBA to see if anything about the queries being used is causing issues. Awaiting inputs.
In the mean time, wanted to check if there is anything that can be done from PI side that will help us improving the processing time.
Thanks in Advance,
Sailaja.Hi,
i think the main cause is query taking long time to execute in DataBase.
-> increase the read time and response time in the JDBC receiver adapter.
In the advanced mode table section of sender channel and receiver channel configurations, we can set driver properties for each DB connection. Any such property would have to contain prefix 'driver:'(with out quotes).
For Oracle Database JDBC thin driver 10.2.0.3 version, the property oracle.jdbc.ReadTimeout helps to set read timeout while reading from the socket. Also for setting login time out in Oracle, we use oracle.net.CONNECT_TIMEOUT. To set these two properties use as follows: driver:oracle.jdbc.ReadTimeout 1000 driver:oracle.net.CONNECT_TIMEOUT 1000 The TimeOut Driver properties like ReadTimeout and CONNECT_TIMEOUT are in milliseconds.
Refer note 1078420 for more details
please go through this blog i hope it will help you.
