Margin in Table cell is way too big

First off, thanks again to Apple for Pages 2. I like having all the different functions, that is -- word processing, page layout, spreadsheet, charts, basic graphics, photo manipulation in one window. I mean, why open up a bunch of windows when it can all be done in one. Less real estate and less clicks. I like it.
But, there is a problem I hope Apple will fix in the next update of Pages.
I was experimenting. Trying to make a Table look more like a standard spreadsheet. I wanted to size the cells more in keeping with what you have in Appleworks or Excel. Problem is, you can't FILL UP the cell with text, that is, text from line to line of cell. A font sized to fill the cell gets chopped off. There is some kind of a margin between the cell boarder lines and the text. It would be great if Apple took away this margin that clips my text.
Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Hello How Goes It,
select the cells you want to have no margin and choose the text inspector of the infopalette and the text tab button. At the bottom is a slider and a number field. There you can adjust the margin thickness.

Safari font specifically in Google search is way too BIG

The font in Google search is way too big. Only in Google. Other websites show normal fonts. Did someone encounter such problem? Please help me! Thank you!

What are solutions for a way-too-big database?

Hi guys!
I'm a software developer and not very good in database designing. One day, I was asked something like this :
"For example, there is a company with a web application. One day, the database for that application is way too big, caused performance issues and others, what is the solution for that application database?"
At first, I thought that was about using multiple database with single app. But I don't know if I was right.
I want to ask that what are the solutions? If it's "multiple database" then what should I do? Using two connection to 2 database simutaneously?
I appreciate any replies. Thanks!

Thanks Lubiez Jean-Val... for your links.
I've got some more advices like :
- "transferring workload to another database using different techniques to copy the data from original db"
- "redesign of the database"
So that means we use 2 different databases?Sometimes it is deemed desirable to keep only fairly recent data on the OLTP database, where the normal transaction activity happens, and replicate the data to another database that also contains historical data. This second database is used for heavy reporting tasks.
And "redesign"?As in, design it from scratch and do it right this time. Make sure all data relations are properly defined to Third Normal Form; make sure all data is typed properly (use DATE columns for dates, NUMBER columns for numbers, etc); make sure you have designed effective indexing; make sure you use the capabilities of the rdbms and do NOT just use it as a data dump.
See http://www.amazon.com/Effective-Oracle-Design-Osborne-ORACLE/dp/0072230657/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1301257486&sr=1-3
are they really good solutions?Like most everything else, "It depends"
It depends on if the proposed solutions are implemented properly and address the root problem. The root problem (or even perceived problem) hasn't yet been defined. You've just assumed that at some undefined point the database becomes "way-too-big" and will cause some sort of problem.
It's assumed that we don't have or can't use partitioning.
And why is that assumed? Yes, you have to have a version of Oracle that supports it, and it is an extra cost license. But like everything else, you and your management have to do a hard-nosed cost/benefit analysis. You may think you can't afford the cost of implementing partitioning, but it may be that you can't afford the expenses derived from NOT implementing it. I don't know what the case is for you, but you and your management should consider the factors instead of just rejecting in out of hand.

Imported pictures are HUGE. Way too big. How do I reduce JPEG size?

JPEG size imports WAY TOO BIG. How do I reduce JPEG size? Thanks so much@!!

Set your camera to take lower quality pictures is the obvious answer here. You can reduce the size of image already in iPhoto when exporting them.

The "other" memory section on my Mac is WAY too big.

Hey everyone!
I know there are a LOT of discussions about this topic, but none of them really seemed to work for me. So the other day I got an error saying "Your startup disk is almost full". I immediately checked the storage section of "About my Mac", and sure enough, something like 100 GB were taken up by local backups. To fix this issue, I disabled local backups via this terminal command: sudo tmutil disablelocal.
I did a restart and checked my storage again. This time, it looked like this (and still does):
All of what used to be backups is now other. And the reason I have those 900 or so MB of backups is because I eventually turned those on again (with the reverse of the above command) in an effort to fix this. Out of options, I then went to the apple store, where they told me to just delete stuff that was too big. So I got a 1 TB drive and started copying and deleting stuff. The main thing I got rid of was a giant windows VM I had. And just to prove that something's wrong here, look at the breakdown of my files from OmniDiskSweeper:
If you do the math, I should have about 100 GB more free than I do now. I've tried:
Turning the thing off then on (you'd be surprised how often that works)
Resetting the PRAM
Forcing spotlight to reindex the machine
Throwing the machine out the window (well, not quite)
What I think might be the cause:
This is a stab in the dark here, but possibly all those GB of backups tried to delete themselves and somehow corrupted and aren not called backups anymore by the system?
Just one more thing: I noticed that OmniDiskSweeper showed a volume I don't recognize. It's called MobileBackups. Maybe that has something to do with it?
I'll appreciate your help.
Thanks!

Although the guide is a little dated, a lot of the information there is really great and helps you track down a lot of files that are just taking up way too much space on your hard drive.
http://pondini.org/OSX/DiskSpace.html
I just did this the other day on my Air running 10.9 and recovered around 50GB of disk space, so there is potentially a lot you can do. I suggest following the steps on this guide (to the T, don't want to mess anything up) and go from there. Don't delete ANYTHING that you are not aware of the function, and remember that searching for names of files is a great way to determine whether or not you need it. Some files that SEEM like junk and take up a considerable amount of space are system files that will either be replaced the next time you boot up or render you computer useless entirely.
For example, there is a file that saves the state of your computer just before it goes to sleep so that it can return quickly when you start up again, and that file is normally the size of the amount of RAM you have (I have 4GB of RAM, so the file was 4GB). After doing some research, this file will either be recreated if deleted, or your sleep mode will not be able to function properly if the file is deleted. So again, just tread lightly.
Also, there is an application I used to get rid of a bunch of duplicate files that I had on my drive called Gemini (http://macpaw.com/gemini), which I recommend using to clean up documents. Again, be careful, you don't want to go deleting files that you are using that the application mistook for a duplicate.
Hope this helps!

How do you make fonts back to default size in Firefox 24? They are blown way too big.

Since upgrading to Firefox 22 and 24, the font size has been extremely huge. The only way to make it smaller is ctrl - , but when I go to other sites the fonts are normal size.
I want to be able to get the default size font on the Firefox 24. I've been using Chrome because this has been so darned annoying, it's even causing Bing to screw up.
Can someone help me get this fixed?

This isn't the best way for it.
Coz my monitor isn't really big.(21.5')
It is very match for me by using 125%.
But for FF22(or above) is too big, and the photo will zoom in for 125%
that was a mess.
And Chrome has the function but it isn't default but adjust from "chrome://flags"

Can't enter a date into a table cell the way I want to

I am trying to put "Jul 2008" in a table cell but every time I remove focus from it, it changes to "Jul 1, 2008". This is very annoying, how can I turn this off?

I solved this by making the "Cell Format" "Text" using the Inspector.

Margin and Table Cell Question

Hi,
The main banner at the top of each page changes it's position
when I view it in the browser. For example, on this page it is okay
http://www.foryourbackyard.com.au/products.htm
Though this page the banner slips down a touch.
http://www.foryourbackyard.com.au/sheds.htm
Any ideas welcome.
Also on this site the table cells seem to have a gap at the
bottom of the roll over image.

I'm not sure why.
Thank in advance.
Ray

For anybody who might stumble on this in the future looking for an answer to the same or a similar question, I figured this out with the help of Andreas Kiel and Philip Buckley on the Applescript Studio mailing list. Below is the answer.
Given a data source named "D" and table columns named "bc1" and "bc2" (both of which contain a checkbox style button cell), this is the syntax:
tell data source "D" --to check the checkboxes
set content of data cell "bc1" of every data row to true
set content of data cell "bc2" of every data row to true
end tell
tell data source "D" --to uncheck the checkboxes
set content of data cell "bc1" of every data row to false
set content of data cell "bc2" of every data row to false
end tell
The problem I was having is that I used the name of the button cell itself in the data cell reference rather than the name of the table column.
Hope someone finds this useful

Issue syncing artwork: on-device DB is WAY too big!

I have an iPad and an iPhone. Both get music from the same source. Both take the tracks from my computer's library, downsize them to 128kps and there we are. However, the on-device Art Database sizes are very different and not in the way that makes sense. The size of the DB files was gathered using iPhone Explorer.
iPad has 4225 tracks. Art database is 2408MB
iPhone has 2334 tracks. Art database is 3104MB
A vast majority of the iPad library and the iPhone library overlap, so there is ZERO reason why the iPhone art DB takes up more space than the iPad's, unless something else is stored there that I dont understand. There are more FILES in the iPad DB, but they are overall smaller files. Each iPhone DB file is 200-500 MB. iPad DB files can be between 12-500MB
See the problem? Any thoughts? Any idea where I could direct this problem to, even? I just don't get it.

All fonts in the toolbars are way too big after unplugging my laptop from a projector

When I plugged in a projector to my laptop (2010 MacBook Pro) all icons & fonts on my laptop went huge! I was able to mostly restore the size of the icons & fonts on my desktop after I unplugged the projector, but I can't get the font size in my toolbars back to the normal, standard size. I've tried to reset to default settings, but it makes no difference.

ID CS 5 (Version 7.0.4), need to remove margins inside table cells

I'm building a table to compare features in 2 commercial products. I've created several small (22 px square) graphics in AI (saved as PDFs). I've started adding these graphics in the cells, but ID seems to always create small margins on the top, left, and bottom that I have not yet figured out how to get rid of. My goal is to create a pattern of tiles with no perceptable grout lines between the tiles. Is this possible? If it makes a difference, I used File->Place to insert the first instance of the PDF and Copy/Paste for subsequent instances.
Thanks,
John

Select the cells and use the Table panel to change the cell margins.
Also, Illustrator files are not measured in pixels. What Illustrator wrongly cells pixels should instead be called points. Pixels alone have no physically measurable size, but all Illustrator files do. Illustrator assumes a resolution of 72 ppi, making a 22 pixel image measure 22 points.

Margin around line sin JTextPane are too big!

i am working on an HTML Editor, i have a rowheader that displays the line numbers of the document. The problem is that they don't line up correctly. This is because of the margins around lines of text in the JTextPane. Is there a way i can get get the line height of a JTextPane? i figure i could use this to set the margin around the line numbers:
margin = (lineHeight-characterHeight)/2;
any help is appreciated. Especially if you could point me to a really nice StyledDocument, Document, AttributeSet tutorial that can help answer a lot of the questions i might have about this sort of thing.
thank you,

WAY Too Big!

I want to backup JUST the Users folder (actually just a couple users within the Users folder). The Users folder is 2.08 GB (according to the Finder). I exclude a bunch of things in Time Machine:
/Applications
/Library
/System
and
/Volumes/Hard Disk/Users/test1
/Volumes/Hard Disk/Users/NotCool
When I run Time Machine, the progress bar reads 4.84 GB of 37.75 GB!
How can that be? I'm just trying to back up (something that should be less than) 2.08 GB. My external drive has 58.19 GB (which will work in Time Machine), but if Time Machine thinks my Users folder is 37.75 GB, the external drive ain't gonna work for long as a Time Machine backup.
What's going on here? Again, I'm only trying to back up (less than) 2.08 GB.

My (external) backup drive has a 58 GB partition available for use as a Time Machine backup. When I initially selected that partition for use, Time Machine said there wasn't enough space available! I've been trying to pare down what gets backed up in order to: 1) get a backup of what's essential; and 2) allow Time Machine to backup changes over time. Obviously, the OS and Applications are not critical, as those can be reinstalled.
Yes, if necessary. But it's a complex, time-consuming, error-prone process. Depending on exactly what you do, here's roughly what you'd be looking at:
|
• Install OSX from your Install disc.
• Set up a temporary User Account (different from any on your backups).
• Go through the set-up procedure for your Internet connection(s), power settings, and other system-wide settings and preferences.
• Download and install the "combo" update, to get back to your current version of OSX.
• If you've upgraded either OSX or iLife since purchasing your Mac, find the disks with iLife and restore those apps.
• Find all the discs for 3rd-party apps and install them. Re-enter any purchase keys.
• Find the websites for all downloaded 3rd-party apps, download and install them. Re-enter any purchase keys.
• Restore whatever data you saved, via +Migration Assistant.+
• Re-enter all your Users' preferences and settings, including email accounts: account info, passwords, server names, etc. (if you didn’t save them).
• Wonder what you missed, and find out the hard way . . . for months . . . or longer.
Get Info/Finder says my /private folder is 3 GB.
See the green box in [OSX Log Files|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/Logs.html].

Hard drives are quite inexpensive these days; please consider getting one that's at least 2-3 times the size of your internal HD (plus any other partitions you'd like to back up). When (not if) your internal HD fails, or something else awful happens to your Mac, you can restore the OSX partition in one process, to the exact condition it was in at the time of any backup you select, even if that's a different version of OSX; and data-only volumes in one (different) process each.
In Time Machine, I excluded the other partition on the external drive that has the partition holding my Time Machine backup.
If there are other (HFS+) partitions on your internal HD, Time Machine will back them up too, unless you specifically exclude them.
1. Old Laptop (1.67 GB; external drive 1-partition 1)
2. Time Machine Backup (40.03 GB; external drive 1-partition 2)
3. /Applications (5.04 GB)
4. /Volumes/Hard Disk/Users/NotCool (61 KB)
5. /Library (2.5 GB)
6. System Files and Applications (10.86 GB)
7. /Volumes/Hard Disk/Users/test1 (37 KB)
8. /Volumes/Hard Disk/Users (2.14 GB)
1-7 was the first group that I excluded coincident with my original post. Estimated size of backup was 37.75 GB. I just added number 8 to see if the eliminating one of the references to the thing I really do want to back up reduced the backup size appreciably, and it did not. Time Machine still estimates the size of the backup is over 38 GB.
You're missing /private, although as you say, that's only 3 GB.
On the exclusions page, after clicking the plus sign, click the +Show invisible items+ box; there are several other hidden folders, but none should be of much size.
This is such a hassle, of course, because Time Machine is meant to back up your entire system, so it's geared to let you select a few things to omit, not back up only a few items.
You might check the hidden /Volumes folder; it won't show up that way for some reason, but if you select +Go > Go to Folder+ via a Finder window's menubar and type /Volumes in the prompt, you'll see it. It should contain only aliases, but on occasion a problem will cause OSX to create an actual folder there, and write data to it. You may have something quite large lurking there.
