I can no longer access Safari on my ipad. I get the error:the operation couldn't be completed. Cannot allocate memory. Help please!

I am not able to access Safari on my ipad. I get the error message: The operation couldn't be completed. Cannot allocate memory. Can anyone help please??

Try this first.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If that doesn't work, reboot the iPad - or quit all apps and restart.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Quit all apps completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.

New/Additional phone line question- help please!

Hi
I am after some advice, and every time I call BT I get passed around as I am not 100% on what to ask for, or who I should speak to.
Basically, we have 2 phone lines coming into the house. One line/number + broadband signal goes via a repeater to the office which is a separate building across the garden (approx 300m but I am not sure on the actual distance). The signal is not great, for the broadband particularly - often drops out etc. To solve this we would like a new physical line installed in the office building to give us a separate phone and broadband package to that of the main house, but ideally keeping the same number as we currently use in the office. The office is used everyday for working from home and so is important to us.
Does that make sense? I fully expect that an engineer will need to look at the site, and there will be a (significant) charge for the line to be installed (underground pipe work for cables already exists from house to office building and so this could be utilised). Do I just place an order for a new line online, and wait for an engineer's visit? Can I deal with changing the number at a later date if that is easier for the system to deal with? Last time I rang BT, I was told I needed to speak to the exceptions team, when I was put through to them she told me all I needed to do was speak to customer services, customer services thought I was trying to move home and then didn't seem to understand what I needed (but it was probably how I was explaining it!).
I would be so grateful if someone could point me in the right direction, or give me tips on what to ask for. My main worry is keeping the same phone number as it would be so much easier.
Thanks in advance

Storing rows returned back in Memory.Urgent Help please

I have a method is thats all information from the Database and I need to hold this data
in a HashMap of some sort of data structure
Lets suppose this result set returns 5 rows.I need to hold all 5 rows in a datastructure.
The variable f_OrderID is the principal and this should return back all values associated with it.
I cant use HashMap as the key:f_OrderID is always the same,
Key f_orderID
Value :f_EffTs,f_ClrAcct f_MsgSeqNum
Please can anyone help me how to store this in memory,
using the same f_OrderID but with different values?
public void getAcctChgDataFromDB(String orderNo,String indicator){
     if((rs == null) ){
                   logger.equals("No rows returned for Order No " + orderNo);
                   throw new AcctChgException("No rows returned for Order No " + orderNo );
              }else
                             while(rs.next()){
                                  f_OrderID = rs.getString("FixOrderID");
                                  f_EffTs    = rs.getString("EffTs");
                                  f_ClrAcct = rs.getString("ClrAcct");
                                  f_MsgSeqNum = rs.getString("FixMsgSeqNum");
         } catch (Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();


well i fell
List<Map<String,Object>> or
List<CustomDTOBean>could be a specific data structure which you can look for.
where List would have reference to 5 Objects(Row) and each object could be a Map or a CustomDTO.If we consider map it would be like structure something like
key=TABLE_COLUMN_NAME
value=TABLE_COLUMN_VALUE

"Your system has run out of application memory"! Help, please! Thanks!

Hi,
Just got the unsettling message saying "Your system has run out of application memory" and I was instructed to close down applications I wasn't using, including browsers, or I might have problems with my computer. Yeesh. This is scary. Is the solution to buy more RAM? Bear with me, I really don't know what to do, and I'd appreciate your help.
Thanks,

Tried to update my product listings, but it wouldn't work. I have OS X Mavericks, 10.9.2 on my iMac desktop.

There is excessive swapping of data between physical memory (that is, the memory chips on the logic board) and virtual memory (one or more files on the startup volume.) That activity is relatively slow and causes the whole system to be less responsive. It can happen for two reasons:
A long-running process with a memory leak (a kind of bug)
Not enough memory for your usage pattern
Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
These instructions are for OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks.") The procedure may be slightly different for earlier versions of OS X.
When you notice the swap activity, open the Activity Monitor application and select All Processes from the View menu, if it's not already selected. Select the Memory tab. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
from the menu bar.
If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
The processes named "Safari Web Content" render web pages for Safari. They use a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider them prime suspects.
Another process often implicated in memory leaks is "inkjet4" or "inkjet8," which is a component of the HP printing software. If it's present, force-quit the process in Activity Monitor to solve the problem temporarily. Empty the print queues in the Printers & Scanners preference pane (which has a slightly different name in each recent version of OS X.) If you don't use an HP printer, remove the software. Otherwise, if the problem is recurrent, update the software (which may not help) or contact HP support.
"Wired" memory should be a small part of the total. That memory is not swapped, but it makes less physical memory available which may then result in swapping. If you have a lot of wired memory, that's usually an indication of a memory leak in a third-party program that modifies the operating system at a low level. Ask for guidance in that case.
If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command:
sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details.

Some start up questions (help please)

Hello everyone. My name is Tom and its very nice to meet everyone.
I have been, historically, using harware sequencers for my music (Korg M series, Korg O series, and most recently a Fantom X7).
I have decided that I want to go the DAW route for my music for various reasons. At any rate here is what I'll be ordering next week....
MacBookPro 2Ghz 15" (1 gig of ram to start 2x 512)
Logic Pro
M-Audio Keystation Pro 88 (my main instrument is piano)
M-Audio Oxygen 8 v2 (I'll use this for synth sounds, strings, brass, triggers, etc)
Presonus Firebox (portability)
SIIG FireWire 800 1-Port ExpressCard/34 (the MBP only has 1 Firewire port)
My Book Pro Edition 500 GB Ext HD (will connect to the FW 800 expresscard)
Pair of Behringer Truths B2031a (I listened to these in a local store and I was really impressed.)
I have various other instruments that I will use (guitars, bass, steel, etc) during recording but those arent the focus of these questions.
To the point...
1. Should I connect both Midi In and Out for the Keystation Pro?? (The midi thing is somewhat new since I'm coming from the hw sequencers and I never midi'd my boards together) I understand that I'll go from the midi out to the s/pdif cable in but will it be necessary for information to be returned to the ks pro?
2. On the Presonus Firebox, is the s/pdif cable included with the interface??
3. Any general impressions with my initial setup?? Please keep in mind that I will do all the music by myself... one track and one instrument at a time. (Which is why I thought the firebox would be sufficient for my needs) Any concerns with my ideas for setting it up?? KS Pro midi'd to presonus. presonus FW 400 to Mac. Oxygen 8 USB'd to Mac. My Book hard drive FW 800 through expresscard expansion. Will I have any compatibility issues or conflicts?
Thanks so very much for any help and guidance.
Tom

Hi Tom
Welcome to the forum!
1) your keystation and Oxygen 8 will send and receive midi to Logic thru your usb connection. You can connect any other midi devices thru the keystation or using the Oxygen or Firebox midi ins & outs. Logic will recognize all of your midi connections. you just need to assign which midi keyboard or other outboard device is connected to which midi port in Logic's environment
2) yes the spdif cable is included
3) Your setup sounds nice. I personally don't like the firebox, I had one for a short time and got rid of it, but I know a few guys here use one and like them.
Have fun
Don

Memory Question - Help!

I just started trying to import footage from a camera to my Mac. While my laptop doesn't have a ton of spare memory, I have an external hard drive that does. Question: how can I set iMovie HD 6 to use the connected external hard drive's memory rather than the memory from my laptop?
I've got about 60min of footage - but, right now, I can only import about 7min.

What you're talking about is not memory ..you're talking about hard disc space.
(Memory is the little chips inside the Mac which hold the current program which is running, etc. Hard disc storage is where you store or Save things, such as video clips and entire video projects.)
When you start a new project you'll see a window like this:
Where it shows "Where:" and the choice 'Pictures' in the little pic above, if you click on the arrowheads alongside whatever's currently showing ..e.g; 'Pictures', which is probably 'Movies' in your case.. you can then browse all the folders and hard discs on your Mac, and you can choose to store the new project on your external disc ..simple!
NOTE: Your external disc MUST be formatted as 'Mac OS Extended', and preferably be connected by a FireWire cable, not USB (..USB is too slow for sustained video transfer).
To format the external disc as 'Mac OS Extended', use the Finder to go to Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility, select the hard disc's name then click the 'Erase' tab and choose Mac OS Extended as the format for it. CAUTION: This will erase anything already on that external disc ..so if there's anything precious there, copy it across to your internal disc first.
After formatting as Mac OS Extended - it takes just a few seconds - you can then use that disc for your iMovie projects.

Unable to run Memory profiling, help please

Hi there,
I installed the lastest version of JDeveloper 10 and created a very simple project(only have one class with Main()method) for testing purpose.
I configure the Profiler in Project Properties page, setting the class as included instance, however, all those profiling menu items(e.g.: Memory Profile...) are greyed out and I am unable to run memory profiling.
I wonder if the functions are available for the free-downloaed version of JDeveloper, or is there something wrong with my setting?
Your help is highly appreciated.

Make sure you are positioned on the class in the application navigator before going to the "run" menu option.
Also does it work if you don't change anything in the project properties?
Here is what I did - created a new project with a simple hello class. And I didn't had any problems profiling it.
There is no function limitation on the version you downloaded.
Here is the class I tried:
public class Class1
public Class1()
public static void main(String[] args)
Class1 class1 = new Class1();
System.out.println("hello");
}

IPAD and UPdate to Airprint Printer question Help Please?

I have an HP 6500 printer that I utilize with my MacbookPro (from 2007) and it operates just fine wirelessly using WiFi at home. I did note though that my iPod cannot print to the printer as the printer IS NOT AIRPRINT equipped.
MY QUESTION?
I am considering purchasing an IPAD MINI (RETINA)equipped with KeyNote, Pages, etc., and am wondering If I invest in an AIRPRINT equipped printer in order to enable printing from the IPAD MINI, will I also still be able to print from my Macbook Pro (2007) which is not equipped with anything that interfaces with AIRPRINT to my new AIRPRINT printer? In other words, is this reversed engineered to allow printing from an older laptop to a brand new AIRPRINT printer?
Hope you can help, so I don't waste money on a new printer and an IPAD only to find out I can no longer use my LapTop (MacbookPro) to print.
Thanks you for any help.
Charles

Thanks, Jim.
Going to give it a try, Now, after reading all the reviews on the various HP and Epson model all-in-one printers, my next chore will be to make the actual selection. It seems that there as many people who love each unit as there are who hate each unit. Confusing, but I will digest it over the next several days and make a choice.
Thanks again,
Charles

Hi
First of all uninstall your current JDK installation, if you can get to the registry delete the registry entries for the old version of java which was there on your machine.
Now do a fresh install of your j2sdk1.4.1, make sure that you will install the JRE with the J2SDK1.4.1.
Once you are done, set your classpath in autoexec.bat if you are using Windows 95/98
or set your environment variables if you are using Win NT/2000/XP.
If using solaris or other unix flavors see the included installation instructions provided.
Let me if you face the same problem.
Thanks

CS3 Questions, Help please?

I've been gone for a while and I used to know this stuff backwards and forwards. Now that I have come back, I just can't seem to remember some things re. InDesign and shortcuts and keys. I've tried going to help but these don't come up in help and I did not get a book with CS3. I set my shortcut prefs to shortcuts for Quark 4 as in past.
1. Is there a way to get the display preference to default to high quality display so it is there all the time?
2. Where is the default for copy and then the paste going in front instead of pasting in back.
3. I can use my shift/command/> to increase font size (and where is the preference for changing it by 1 point instead of 2 please) but the shift/command/< is not working at all.
4. I have some documents that when I try to increase the leading by 1 point, the leading is increasing drastically almost as if there is a lock to some grid on but all the lock to grids and lock to baseline are not selected. I don't know who created these documents but I cannot find where they appear to be locked to grids. Any ideas.
Thank you in advance for any help. I've been going thru tutorials but can't find the answers to these and I used to know these so well.

Ann, I responded to your other query too, but are you sure you don't have "Paste Remembers Layers" turned on? If stuff you copy is on a layer that is behind something else, it will still be behind it after pasting because it will paste to the layer behind.
Check your Layers flyout menu to see if this is the case.

Newbie audio question--help please...

I recently recorded/captured video from Canon HV30 and unfortunately found that only Left audio channel was recorded..Right channel in non-existant. How do I duplicate the audio track from Left to Right so that both tracks are played in sync?
I appreciate your help on this newbie question!

When the left channel is filled you use the Fill Left effect
The Fill Left effect duplicates the left channel information of the audio clip and places it in the right channel, discarding the original clip’s right channel information.
Instead of putting the effect on each clip use the Audio Mixer.

New to Solaris question help please

Just successfully installed Solaris 10 on VMWare ESXi and assigned it 50GB of HDD space. When I type df -h I see that 79% of my disk is used and the rest of the storage is nowhere to be found.
I'm new to Solaris is this because the rest of the drive hasn't been partitioned? Some help would be greatly appreciate so that I can take advantage of the rest of my volume...
Thanks!

From this, I understand that /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 has a size 4.6GB (assuming the OS is installed here) when I download items to the desktop, it appears they are placed in this "disk"?Depends on where you told Firefox to place them by default. You could just as easily configure it, Edit, Preferences, Main, Downloads, tell it to place the downloads somewhere else.
> Also, /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s7 is where 44GB of free storage resides, I believe this is located in /export/home (as a folder with 44GB of space available) as far as my knowledge of Solaris is concerned.
Correct. Solaris is a multi-user system that leaves plenty of space for user home directories which default to /export/home. IMNSHO the space that is leaves behind for / is usually small enough to make the system unusable after applying only a few patches. If you switch to OpenSolaris 2008.11 you can ZFS which will mitigate most of these problems.
Just a little confusing to a newbie, coming from a Microsoft background (forgive me!) I am used to seeing volumes as icons in My Computer.The Windows tool for managing disks is nice and graphical.
What's your advice for managing volumes, formating to ZFS, maybe some visual method of understanding volumes?If you haven't done much with the system then you might consider switching to OpenSolaris with the caveat that some parts of Solaris are not available in OpenSolaris because of licensing issues. However, for someone who's just starting out you won't miss them.
For understanding, http://www.docs.sun.com / Solaris / Administration and then look for the two books on Disk Management. One is for ZFS and the other is for UFS. ZFS and Volume Manager Administration

Increasing Crashes "Read Only Memory Exception" HELP please!

I am having a very similar problem with Dreamweaver 8 running
on OS X10.4.11.
If I choose passive FTP, Dreamweaver appears to upload a
file, when in fact the error logs reports that the file could not
be upload because it was not found, or because of permission
problems.
If I do not upload with passive FTP , Dreamweaver 8 crashes
& Dreamweaver 8 loses the site's root folder, informing me that
it cannot be found and I must use the manage sites feature to
recreate the cache for the site that was there.
If I use FETCH, no problem... all files are uploaded
successfully.
I recently had a hard drive failure on my Mac, had a new HD
installed by the folks at the Genius Bar, and thought perhaps my
new HD was buggy... however, now it seems there must a a
permissions problem built into the Dreamweaver FTP protocols.
I have not seen a patch for this, although when I reinstalled
the software, I did download all updates.
I know my reply offers no solutions, but I do thank you for
your post.

Burning software on Macbook Pro -- easy question, help please!

Hi,
sorry to sound like a bit of a retard....
I am about to get a Macbook Pro (I am a mac virgin, switching from PC) and i was just wondering if Macbook Pro comes with a burning program included? and if so, what it is called?
Thanks very much,
Ani

Yes, the MacBook Pro comes with a program called "Disk Utility". It can burn CDs and DVDs. You can do it also via the Finder, the Mac OS X "explorer" - in Windows world it's called Windows Explorer.
Don't forget you can also install Windows on your MacBook Pro, and use PC burning software.
Hope this helps.
