Keypad displays letters instead of numbers

I'm trying to input my WPA key for wireless setup. When I enter it, only letters show up and I'm unable to connect.

Try holding down the Fn key and tap NumLock, see if this works ?

Counting with letters instead of numbers

hi everybody,
today I got the requirement to represent the rownums of a recordset (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and so on) as letters (A, B, C, D, E and so on). First of all I thought there is a database function equal to the to_char function with RN parameter (which is able to convert numbers to roman numbers easily)... but I didn´t find anything.
So, is there a database function that I haven´t found yet or have you got some custom code for me to realize this?
ty in advance

Hi,
I don't think it's quite that simple. OP does not want a base-26 number, because there is nothing quite like a 0 in this system, and therefore nothing quite like a leading 0.
In a base-26 system, you could represent 26 ^2^ distinct numbers with strings up to 2 characters.
OP wants something where you can represent 26 ^2^ + 26 distinct numbers with strings up to 2 characters: 26 numbers with 1-character strings and a completely disjoint set of 26 ^2^ numbers with 2-character strings.
I think OP needs something more complicated, like this:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION to_abc
(      in_num       IN        PLS_INTEGER               -- Number to be converted
RETURN     VARCHAR2
DETERMINISTIC
IS
     in_num_26     PLS_INTEGER    := MOD (in_num, 26);
     rest          PLS_INTEGER;
     return_txt     VARCHAR2 (30);
BEGIN
     IF in_num IS NULL
     THEN
          RETURN     NULL;
     ELSIF in_num <= 0
     THEN
          RETURN '-';
     END IF;
     return_txt := CHR ( 64 + CASE
                         WHEN in_num_26 = 0
                         THEN 26
                         ELSE in_num_26
                              END
     rest := CEIL (in_num / 26);
     IF rest = 1
     THEN
          RETURN     return_txt;
     ELSE
          RETURN to_abc (rest - 1) || return_txt;
     END IF;

Letters instead of numbers in graph

Hi OTN,
In my ADF BC application I have a bar graph. The graph looks like this: http://img846.imageshack.us/img846/1812/graphn.png
So, my question is: is there any possibility of replacing numbers on the top of bars with letters (1 is A, 2 is B and etc.)?
Type of graph is dvt:barGraph, ADF BC, Jdeveloper 11.1.1.4

Done in with custom converter.
<dvt:markerText id="markerText1" rendered="true">
                <dvt:y1Format autoPrecision="off">
                  <f:converter converterId="estimationFormatter"/>
                </dvt:y1Format>
            </dvt:markerText>Even though JDeveloper marks it as error in page source, it works.

Looping through letters instead of numbers

I need to create an array of strings containing everything from A100 to X999. I tried looping through letters but I don't think it can be done
var arrayAct = new Array();
for (i = "A"; i <= "X"; i++){
   for (i2 = 100; i2 <= 999; i2++){
    arrayAct.push(String(i+i2));

excellent. Final code is working:
var arrayAct = new Array();
for (i = "A".charCodeAt(0); i <= "X".charCodeAt(0); i++){
   for (i2 = 100; i2 <= 999; i2++){
    arrayAct.push(String.fromCharCode(i)+String(i2));

How to dial telephone numbers which have letters instead of digits?

I'm new to Blackberry products & just bought a 8330 curve. Unlike my other smartphones which had the option of a dial key pad, the Curve appears to have forgotten to include one. When a telephone number is spelled out with letters instead of digits, how do I dial it? For example: for my pharmacy refills I would dial 1-123-345-DRUG or when calling a company after hours and reach its automated answer system which prompts you to key-in the party that you are looking for their last 4 letters of their name. How do you do it. Help.

Hi and welcome to the forums!
You can enter the alpha chacratars using the alt shift for nummerics.
For example: 1-800-(alt-shift) -IFlYSWA
The same applys when you are asked for alpha characters as in your example
of search by person's name.

When I try to share a Numbers spreadsheet with other Mac users, (via iMessages) it doesn't open on Numbers app but instead on Numbers for iCloud beta, on their browser.

When I try to share a Numbers spreadsheet with other Mac users, (via iMessages) it doesn't open on Numbers app but instead on Numbers for iCloud beta, on their browser. and worse all the letters appear out of format and unreadable.
Is there any option that i'm getting wrong
How can we solve this.
Usualy we use Google drive documents to share some spreadsheets, but we wanted to share the same document with numbers (that's much better) but it doesn't work as easily as in google drive and doesn't even remotely works how it was supposed.

Don't know why those letters wouldn't display properly; maybe something to do with their settings at Safari > Preferences > Advanced > Default Encoding or similar setting in whatever browser they are using. But it's really easy for them to download the document via the "wrench" in the Numbers for iCloud menu. Then they can open it in the Numbers app.
For "real-time" collaboration, I think you all need to be accessing Numbers for iCloud via the browser.

Wired letters instead of hebrew

We wrote a servlet that prints letters in different languages. In order to print the letters, we use:
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println(letters);
When we runs the servlet, the servlet prints wired letters instead of hebrew:
for example:
=?windows-1255?Q?=EE=...
the problem is that we need to read the letters that was printed with other program. So, instead to read the hebrew letters, it read wired things.
How do we make the servlet prints hebrew??
(we using hebrew and english letters)
please help us.
thanks, Naor and Shay.

It depends on the data and encoded data and the encoding used for output.
In jsp, you can use <%@page %> to specify the charset (UTF-8) and then set the locale (Hebrew).
Example jsp file:
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"%>
<%@ page import="java.util.*"%>
<%
String hebrewString = ...... the hebrew string, eg: you get this from database, etc .... ;
Locale locale = ..... Hebrew locale instance, check it at java.util.Locale javadoc ....;
response.setLocale(locale);
%>
<HTML>
<%=hebrewString%>
</HTML>
If this prints wrongly, then either you use wrong charset/encoding or the hebrew string is not constructed properly (eg: your database doesn't support UTF-8, so when you save the data previously, the string was actually corrupted, etc).
If you can you write hebrew, you can make it straight like this:
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"%>
<%@ page import="java.util.*"%>
<%
Locale locale = ..... Hebrew locale instance, check it at java.util.Locale javadoc ....;
response.setLocale(locale);
%>
<HTML>
.. Barukh Haba B'shem Adonai (in hebrew script) ..
</HTML>
You may use richedit or IDE which support UTF-8 ( not ANSI! ) to create the jsp file. ANSI editor which will corrupt the text you entered.
In XP, the notepad for microsoft is able to save the text using UTF-8, this editor can be used safely.
By default, IE have encoding for Hebrew, so it should show up correctly. If you're using linux/unix or different browser, perhaps you need to download the encoding first to be able to display correctly.
If you don't know how to write hebrew, go to any hebrew website, copy some text and paste it in UTF-8 editor. If you see the word correctly pasted, then it supports UTF-8. Then, you can create the JSP file I mentioned above.

FIX for Dell U3011 displaying YPbPr instead of RGB via display port

I kind of hacked my way around and got my Dell U3011 to properly display RGB instead of YPbPr (or YCbCr) over a mini display port to display port cable for my MacBook Pro Retina 15"! WOOHOO! no need for that stupid $150 dual link dvi to mini displayport adapter anymore, which was incredibly flakey and sometimes the monitor turned on, and sometimes it didn't etc... lots of problems.
Download the file from:
http://www.8mmdesign.com/u3011-rgb-ypbpr-fix/DisplayVendorID-10ac.zip
unzip into:
/System/Library/Displays/Overrides
It will create a new directory called:
/System/Library/Displays/Overrides/DisplayVendorID-10ac
Then reboot the system, and it should work. Go to system preferences, displays, color, and set the display profile to Color LCD.
This will *ONLY* work for the Dell u3011 and it is completely UNTESTED. Use at your OWN RISK. But you should have proper RGB colors after doing this.
Good luck!

This post helped me: http://ireckon.net/2013/03/force-rgb-mode-in-mac-os-x-to-fix-the-picture-quality -of-an-external-monitor
I have an Onkyo AV Receiver TX-NR414, I'm using the HDMI passthru (connecting Mac to AVR, then AVR to TV) and my Macs where giving bad colors.
Connecting the Mac directly to the TV was ok.
So the problem was the need to force the Mac to output RGB, the above linked blog post has a link to a Ruby script that will create a profile with RGB output. Follow the instructions and it will get it right.
Thanks to this thread too:https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4880467

My numpad won't work. Instead of numbers, my cursor just moves slightly.

my numpad won't work. there's a beep when i hit numlock and instead of numbers, my cursor just moves slightly. i figure it's something simple, but i'm not sure how to fix it.

it's a mac mini with 10.5.6 on it. the keyboard is actually i think intended for a pc, but it worked fine for the mac. i also had a legit apple keyboard that worked fine as well. i think that i may have accidentally tweaked the preferences somehow, and it disabled my num lock.

I am unable to retrieve spreadsheets. Numbers displays the "Welcome To Numbers" page but does not allow saved spreadsheets to be opened. It offers the "Open Recent" choice and displays saved file names but does not allow these files to be accessed.

I recently upgraded to Numbers 3.5.2. I have an older Macbook Pro (2009) and I run Yosemite 10.10.2. I am unable to open any saved files that were created with earlier versions of Numbers. When I open the Numbers app, I am offered the Welcome To Numbers page. When I choose the 'Open Recent' option, I am offered the greyed names of files that I had recently used, however, I am unable to open any of these files (no error message is displayed). Welcome To Numbers stays on the screen. I tried opening the app by clicking on the file name but it produced the same results. I am having a similar problem with Pages.   I suspect a compatibility problem between the new OSX and the new iWork offerings.   Has anyone else encountered this problem? Does it require a setting change or is it a bug?

I managed to download and install the iWork '09 apps. However, when I attempt to open the app, I receive this error message:
Numbers cannot be opened because of a problem.

Midnight C.: two ways of launch, one - letters instead of lines. Why?

I may launch Midnight Commander in a three ways. Two of them are OK. But the third will bring drawing borders with letters instead of lines.
I'm using LXTerminal (I think it doesn't matter). Below there is screenshot with launch results.
Launch commands:
1) In terminal as a user :
mc
2) In terminal, becoming root at first:
su -
mc
3) Launch button from a panel, launch as a user:
lxterminal --command="sudo su -l root -c /usr/bin/mc"
The first two ways are OK, third way will bring "broken" lines. Give me please an idea of what to search. Or how to fix broken lines?

Thank you. 'sudo /usr/bin/mc' did the trick.
In both cases lines are OK.

It was locale setup issue for a user's session - no local proper set up was done. There was related issue. The bug was absence of locale environment setup for VNC sessions. I.e. a file to be launched along with VNC server's wake up staff must have proper "export" for LC_* and LANG variables. In my system the file is '~/.vnc/xstartup'. I'm shure there are other, may be more elegant, ways to set up system wide wanted locale settings, to be picked up automaticaly by a VNC server for every user. May be '~/.vnc/xstartup' code may be an implementation of another than mine approach.

Display metadata instead of clip name on the clips in the timeline and in the source monitor

Is there a way to display metadata instead of clip name on the clips in the timeline and in the source monitor? Clip names are usually set by the camera and are of no use to me. What i would like the clip and the source monitor to display is the name of the shot from the metadata. That's,in my opinion, a very useful info when you're editing a film. If that feature doesn't exist, is there a way to batch rename clips based on metadata?

thanks
is that new or was that always there. Not to sure if I have tried that in the past
anyway it helped and will makes things much faster
one other question maybe you have an answer to that too. it seems both Audio tracks are independ when putting on keyframes is there a way when using keyframes in the time line that it affect both channels of audio for example a1 an a2
once again thanks for your help
