Mail - Typing ll makes the cursor hop backwards

Whenever I type a word that ends in ll, for example I'll, We'll, You'll, in an email in Mail, the cursor hops backwards to in-between the 2 'l's when I press the space bar. Therefore when I have finished writing, there is only one 'l' at the end of the word and the other one is at the end of the email.
I can't imagine that there is a preference for this.... it must be a bug...... Does anyone else experience this?

How to make the cursor global if it has parameters that would be passed through calling environment

What I am trying to do is:
1. Pass two dates "p_start_date" and "p_end_date" to a procedure "calc_percnt". Based on these two dates the procedure creates a collection that has ticket info between the date range provided.
2. Iterate through this collection to find out the number of tickets that took less than 4 hrs (p_count_4), less than 8 hours (p_count_8), less than 12 hours(p_count_12) and less than 24 hours (24).
3. I want to move the logic of the above point 2 (also mentioned between dotted lines in the below mentioned code) to a function and call that function.
4. For the above point 3 I will have to create a function which will accept a collection variable something like this:
create or replace cal_perc (collection_var total_tckt_colcn) ....
I cannot do this because total_tckt_colcn needs to be declared
5. I cannot make the cursor and collection type as global by putting them in package specification because of the condition in cursor:
WHERE created_date >= p_start_date AND created_date < (p_end_date + interval '1' DAY)
it gives the error as "p_start_date" and "p_end_date" needs to be declared.
What is the best way to do this????
create or replace

I cannot add cursor definition to package because of the following condition:
WHERE created_date >= p_start_date AND created_date < (p_end_date + interval '1' DAY)
it gives me an error: "p_start_date" and "p_end_date" needs to be declared.
p_start_date and p_end_date are parameters that would be passed by the user.
Parameterized cursor to the rescue:
I have changed my cursor definition to:
create or replace
PACKAGE ES_REPORTS AS

inner join
(SELECT ticket_id , MAX(created_date) closed_date

on (t.ticket_id         = h.ticket_id)
WHERE (t. ticket_status = 'NOTIFIED' OR t.ticket_status = 'CLOSED') AND t.last_changed >= p_start_date AND t.last_changed < (p_end_date + interval '1' DAY);
END ES_REPORTS;
Not sure if it is good programing practice though?

Is there any way to make the cursor appear larger in Mac OS X?

Wow, love my 27" screen, but have trouble finding the cursor! Is there any way to make the cursor appear larger? Perhaps adjustable for fine print capture?
Thanks!

System Preferences -> Universal Access -> Mouse -> Cursor size
However, I prefer using Mouse Locator (free download)
<http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/26157>
I like this Mouse Locator Graphic

I also enjoy my 27" iMac. It is just so nice withing on it.

How to make the cursor disappear?

In a graphic screen the cursor should not be visible. What can I do in order to make the cursor disappear? Can anyone help me? Thank you in advance.

for a GUI
Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(new java.awt.image.MemoryImageSource(16, 16, pixels, 0, 16));
Cursor transparentCursor = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createCustomCursor(image, new Point(0, 0), "invisiblecursor");
frame.setCursor(transparentCursor);

New mail doesn't make the "new mail sound" when received

Hi! I have a .mac email account, and I use two different aliases for the account. I want all the mail sent to one of the aliases to go into a designated mailbox. I've tried doing this with both a smart mailbox and using a rule to move the messages to a mailbox on my .mac account (not both at the same time, I've tried it separately both ways).
Both of these options work, except that mail will not make the "new mail" sound when I get a new email for that mailbox. Even when I add to the rule that it should make a sound, it doesn't. Other mail (i.e., all of my other mail that is delivered normally to my inbox) is not affected--I still get the normal sound. Any ideas? Thanks! (And BTW, I always give points for helpful answers!)

You’re welcome.
Actually, I don’t participate here just to be helpful. I also do it to learn. I know WAY more about Mail now than I knew when I started helping people here... and without having experienced myself any of the problems I troubleshoot each and every day...
I really wanted an answer.
That’s precisely why you shouldn’t say in advance that you’ll give points. Nobody is going to assume you won’t, so there is no need to say you will. All you have to do is mark posts when appropriate (without saying in advance that you will). That makes everybody happy.
don't you ever get frustrated by the number of people who don't
mark helpful or solved answers as such?
Not if the OP somehow lets me know whether the proposed solution worked or not. Sometimes I know for sure what the problem is and how to solve it, but others I don’t, and the user’s feedback is way more valuable to me than any points I could get.
So yes, merely setting up a smart mailbox is enough to make Mail
to quit making the sound.
I’ve been unable to reproduce what you describe, but I’ve found something that could be related. Selecting an IMAP (or .Mac) mailbox causes Mail to check for changes made to that mailbox, including checking for new mail and applying rules as appropriate, just like it would do when automatically checking for mail according to your settings, except no sound is played if new mail arrived...
Could that be what you’re observing, i.e. could it be that Mail is actually behaving as expected but it seems that it isn’t because you’re checking for new mail as a result of manually selecting the account’s Inbox or something like that?

In Mail, typing an apostrophe causes cursor to jump or be mispositioned

On my new iMac (and the old one, both with current Yosemite), when typing text in Mail, whenever I type an apostrophe, the cursor changes position, sometimes jumping ahead, or other times jumping back a space after the next letter(s) are typed. For instance, typing I'll results in the cursor ending up between the two L's. Creates lots of typo's if I don't catch them. Anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions?

check for Internet Explorer addons which could interfer with Standard Siebel functionality.
Try deactivating all Toolbars and Addons which are not default and see if it helps.

When opening a new tab, how can you make the cursor automatically go to the address bar?

In my previous version of firefox, the cursor would go directly to the address bar when I opened a new tab. Thus, I could start typing the web address I wanted to go to immediately. However I upgraded to Firefox 4 today and I now have to manually click in the address bar. Is there any way to change this in settings or by installing a specific add-on?
Thanks!

You only get the cursor in the search bar if you open the built-in about:home page.<br />
For other websites you need an extension.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

How can I make the cursor more visible?

I have seen in some training videos a ring around the cursor to make it more visible. How can I get this ring around my cursor in Photoshop CS 3?
Anyone knows? /Tommy

This should do it:
1. Go to systems preference and click it. (it'll be under the top L hand side, click the apple logo and "System Preferences" will appear in a drop menu)
2. Go to Show All
3. Click Universal (round blue shape with a person logo)
4. Click Mouse
5. Go to Cursor size (at the bottom of the page) and adjust the size from normal to large. Watch your actual cursor on screen so you can see how big or small you're making it.
voila: a change of arrow or cursor size.

I have a regular usb mouse and it isn't working. It sometimes clicks, but it can't make the cursor move. The red light will not turn on.

I have been using a mouse with my MacBook Pro for a very very long time now:
Optical USB Mouse:
Product ID:    0xc016
Vendor ID:    0x046d (Logitech Inc.)
Version:     3.40
Speed:    Up to 1.5 Mb/sec
Manufacturer:    Logitech
Location ID:    0x06200000 / 3
Current Available (mA):    500
Current Required (mA):    100
I'm running OS 10.6.8 on a MacBookPro that is fairly old.
The mouse is detected on the USB port, either one, but the red light won't light anymore so I can't use it to move the cursor. I've tried rebooting, I've tried the cammand-option.P.R thing. Still no red light.
Help?

Mouse Gas?
I took both of them to work and both worked fine in a different Mac laptop. I brought home two other mice and they both work here in my home computer. That works, but I wish I knew why the first two don't work at home because the logitec mouse I bought for home has very light action and the center wheel needs only a very light touch. I really really liked it and can't find one like it to replace it with.

When hitting return/enter, how can I make the cursor go right instead of down?

I would like to change where the cursor goes after I hit return/enter - for it to go to the right instead of down. In Excel I could change it in preferences but I cannot find that option in Numbers. Please help!

Numbers 3 doesn't have that option. You might give feedback to Apple via your menu: Numbers > Provide Numbers Feedback.

Make the cursor at an item

Hi (Salam Alaykom),
I have a button "clear" , I want when the button is clicked the items will be cleared and the cursor is at the first item, here is the code:
:emp.id:=null;
:emp.ename:=null;
:emp.sal:=null;
go_item('emp.id');
*=>but the problem that the item changes color, but the cursor remains at the button "clear"*
NOTE:
I used the "when-new-item-instance" trigger to change the color of text items

Do you have when-new-record-instance trigger at emp block ? if yes what is the code ?
NOTE:
I used the "when-new-item-instance" trigger to change the color of text itemsHope you are using the trigger at Block level
What is your form design ? i mean how may block and layout style..?

Apple Mail no longer makes the "woosh" sound when sending mail

OS X 10.7.3, MBP
The other sounds seem to work in Mail. I have the sounds-on options checked (having turned them off and on again). It worked yesterday as far as I can remember. I have restarted the MBP three times since yesterday. I had a "finder not responding" problem on shut-down last night, which I resolved by killing Finder in Activity Monitor. I'm wondering if something has been corrupted. I have the 10.7.3 combo update downloaded (and installed), and my inclination is to re-install it, but I wanted to see if anyone knows a simpler solution. I do have regular Time Machine backaups available. Perhaps the Mail plist file would be worth restoring? Advice appreciated

Yes, I have been in there, turning things off and on again.
However, it seems to be fixed now. What I did was a full Option-Command-Q close down of Mail. After restarting it, the "woosh" is back :-)
I'm so used to doing a simple command-Q to close a program, I forgot to thry the option-command-Q variety. One of these days, I'll remember what to do in Lion :-(
