Native Notes app requires two taps to enter edit mode

I use the native notes app a lot. With iOS 3, I would tap on the name of the note to view it, then tap once to enter edit mode (the keyboard appears). Now, with iOS 4, I have to tap on the note twice to enter edit mode. This is very annoying.
It might have something to do with the new feature in iOS4 that recognizes dates. If I tap anywhere in a note that is even remotely close to something it has recognized as a date, I get the “create event” pop-up instead of the keyboard.
Does anyone else experience this? Or is it only me? Unfortunately, I cannot delete notes and reinstall it… Is there a fix for this?
Details: 16GB 3GS, iOS 4.0.1

More information:
I noticed that if I create a note on the iPhone, it works fine. I can enter edit mode with one tap. But once I sync that note to Outlook, or if I create a note with Outlook, it takes two taps to enter edit mode.
This did not happen with iOS 3

I can't open older notes (pre mid-August) in native Notes app (htc dna).

I can't open older notes (pre mid-August) in native Notes app (htc dna). Gives me message "Sorry, this note is broken. You are not able to open this note."
Does anyone know if there was an update problem, or if the notes can be fixed or retrieved?
Thanks,

Try a force stop in app Mgr for notes program turn phone off. Start using inkpad app from play store syncs notes online in case something like this happens

Directly enter edit mode of JTable cell

Hi Everyone,
On my UI, i am showing editable JTable. When I click on table's row / cell, it selects the row. Fine.
But I want that it should directly enter edit mode of cell and the whole text is to be selected and highlighted and focussed.
Thus, user can directly type the new text.
Please suggest correct approach to handle this scenario.
Thanks in advance.
Girish Varde.

Here is my attempt at solving this problem:
** For text selection you have two choices. Remove the "xxx" from either
** editCellAt() or prepareEditor() method.
** The difference is in how mouse double clicking works
** To place a cell directly into edit mode, use the changeSelection() method.
** Be aware this will generate a TableModelEvent every time you leave a cell.
** You can also use either of the above text selection methods.

Strange TableView problem when entering editing mode.

I'm having a problem when entering editing mode in a tableview. What happens is the cell data from the section below is being displayed on top of the last cell in the current section.
The narrower cell, with the plus sign on the left side, is briefly visible before (a copy of) the cell from below covers it up.
Has anyone else seen this behavior? I'm really stumped here.
More info, or how my table isn't standard: Each of the three sections is populated from a list. If the user has previously deleted one of the items from the section, only then is the plus sign shown. Otherwise, only the delete sign is shown. In other words, if there isn't anything to add, then the plus sign with the associated ...add a new X is not shown. This all works correctly. The counters work. The lists of previously deleted items are populated correctly.
What doesn't work is the last row of the second section being covered by a copy (at full width) of the first row from the third section. The first and third sections both look correct. phew, I hope this makes sense.
Here is what it looks like:
Sizes
- Size 1
- Size 2
+ ..add a new Size
Measurements
- Measurement 1
- Measurement 2
Note 1 << this is the problem row
Notes
- Note 1
- Note 2
+ ...add a new Note
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Ty

OK, after more digging I answered my own question.
The problem was the section order for added and deleting rows in setEditing. I was setting the indexPathForRow in section 2, then, 1, then 0. If I do the update in order 0, 1, then 2 it works fine in 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2.

Notes app saves new version with every edit?

This is odd. In the new notes app every time I edit a note (or even while I am creating it...virtually every time I hit return) a new version of the note gets save. Typing a short note gets 15 versions in the sidebar (like the enclosed pic)
Is this how it is supposed to act? Has my syncing gone-wild?

ok, I just found a way to fix it.
For some reason Notes app did nto get along with Gmail. As soon as I went to preferences -> Mail, Contacts & Calendars and removed notes from Gmails (and added it to iCloud) everything started behaving normally.
Go figure...but sounds about right, Apple Mail and Gmail have always had a love/hate relationship, not surprised the configuration difficulty has extended to notes also...

Access web app - Check if form is in edit mode

I want to hide some fields when a form is in edit mode but I can't figure out how to check that. I tried
That is not working. Is there another way to check the "state" of a form.
Thanks, Mike

Hi Mike,
Unfortunately, there is no existing method that I'm aware of to know if a view in an Access 2013 web app is currently in Edit mode or view mode. I can sympathize with you on this one since I’ve had many occasions in my apps where I wanted to use something
like this for various scenarios. I will pass along your feedback to the product team. You can set various properties on controls using macros, however, you cannot read control property values on views in Access 2013 web app views. The one exception is reading
values of data entry controls.
About the closest you can come to achieving you end goal would be to do a whole lot of extra work to control basic editing and save operations on that view. For example, you could create a new custom Action Bar button on your view with the same icon as the
existing Edit Action Bar button. Slide that one into the position you want in the Action Bar. For the On Click event of this custom one, you put the view into Edit mode, and then show the controls that you want (which are hidden by default I presume in the
On Load event of the view).
If you want to experiment with this technique, I would suggest trying it out on a copy of the view. There are a couple of caveats to this approach that I should point out. First, don’t delete the existing built in Edit and Save Action Bar buttons (or any
of the built in ones for that matter). Once deleted, you can never get them back. I am always in the habit of sliding ones I don’t want to the far right and then hiding them in the On Load event of the view. That way if I ever have a need in the future to
bring it back, the button(s) is still there for my use and all I have to do is remove the macro that is hiding it.
The second caveat is that once you put your view into Edit mode using your own custom Action Bar edit button and then click the save button to save the record changes, your hidden controls that you wanted to display on initial load will still show for the
next record. That may not be the behavior you want. In that case you would need to also create your own custom save Action Bar button too. In that On Click event, you would use the Save Record macro action and you would re-hide the controls that you want hidden
again for the next record since Access will automatically pop you back into view mode with the save operation. You’ll have to experiment with this if you want to try it. You might need to hide the controls before doing the Save Record action.
Hope that helps,

Lock not always released if browser closed in edit mode.

We have had a few instances in the last couple weeks (since deployment of an I.P. application) where a user has either closed the browser while in edit mode, or received some sort of error when saving plan data and the browser closed, where the Lock in RSPLSE/SM12 was not deleted. In the last case, the lock stayed for 6 hours before we were notified to manually delete the lock. The user had closed all windows, even restarted her machine.
Any insight on how to enforce removal of locks if browser is closed? We are on SAPKW70017 and BI Java Support Package Patch SP015

Hi Cote,
this is a frequently discussed topic. Usually the lock should be released, the session should be closed etc at the time closing a window.
One idea for this one: Does a small popup window appear when you close your browser? If the users have activated the popup blocker this will cause problems because the locks and sessions can not be released. Also it might cause problems using other browsers than IE...
Good luck.
Brgds,
Marcel

Address Book Notes for New Contacts Appear Only In Edit Mode

When I create a new contact in +Address Book+, exit Edit mode, and then add a Note to that new contact, the note is visible only when the contact is switched to Edit mode. This does not effect existing contacts. This problem first appeared yesterday. I didn't do anything unusual with +Address Book+ before the emergence of the problem.
I followed these instructions to rebuild the +Address Book+ database but it had no effect on this problem: "Quit Address Book and drag ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/AddressBook-v22.abcddb to the desktop. It will be rebuilt from the details in Metadata when you restart AB."
Thank you in advance for any ideas you have!
Steven

I exported the contact list and deleted Library/Application support/Address book and then re-imported. Everything is fine now.

Ipod not charging and it doesn't enter DFU mode as it is in a recovery mode loop. Can you please advice what i could do to solve this problem. Thank you :D

I have being using ios 5 beta 3 for a few days. It didn't charge my iPod so i thought of downgrading back to ios 4.3.3 but it didn't work so i put my iPod into Pwned DFU mode. When I tried downgrading it didn't let me. i restored back to iOS 5 beta 3 but then DFU mode didn't work so i tried another Restore and unfortuntely the battery went and i can can't charge it. It shows a black screen with a battery and telling me to charge the iPod.

Since your iPad is so new I would suggest-
If you bought it at an Apple Store, there is a 14 day return policy. Take the receipt, iPad, the box and what came in the box to the store and ask to speak with a manager and show him/her the problem and nicely ask to return the unit and purchase a new one.
Before going to the store make a Genius Bar appointment (http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar) and arrive at the store early and proceed with the first step I explained. The reason I suggest making an appointment is because the store may not have the 64GB 3G in stock to sell/exchange. But the Genius Bar may have it in stock to replace under warranty. So, if the manager explains that there are none in stock, then explain you have a Genius Bar appointment any way. If the manager says they do have them in stock to sell then explain you need to cancel your reservation.
If you can't or don't want to visit an Apple Store. Then call 1-800-MY-APPLE and speak with the customer service department.
Hope this helps.

Trackpad not sending mouseUp on tap?

I have a problem with the trackpad on my 17" MBP (2009, unibody). It's not consistent, but it is happening with increasing frequency. I normally have my trackpad set for click on tap (I hate how the whole pad moves for a physical button-click, plus the clicking noise has always driven me bonkers).
Maybe six months ago, I noticed that tap-clicks were not always releasing, like it wasn't always sending a mouseUp event after a tap. It doesn't show as if it were a trackpad drag or a click-and--hold, but I'm not familiar enough with the trackpad drivers to know what it does with a mouseDown-only event on tapping (since a tap-drag or tap-click-and-hold requires two taps), so the behavior may be exactly that.
What actually happens is that it looks like the click didn't register, and when I tap again, it does one of two things. If the cursor hasn't moved since the first tap, it treats it as two separate clicks (not the same as a double-tap, which is a click-and-hold), so if it was clicking on a button, the button reacts as if clicked twice. If the cursor has moved since the first tap, it treats it as if I performed a drag action from the first click location to the second. So if I had, say, clicked in a text field, moved the cursor, then tapped again, it selects the text I've passed over instead of placing the insertion point where I clicked.
Again, this does not happen consistently, and it seems to vary from one app to another. Safari is where it seems to happen the most, but that may be only a perception based on the fact that I spend more time in Safari than any other app. It does not happen with a full physical click (the trackpad-button actually depressing and clicking), only with tap-clicks. It also does not happen with multi-finger taps, only single-finger taps.
My primary question, I guess, would be: does this seem to be more likely to be a software or hardware issue? If it's software, what would I need to patch/replace/update to fix it? If it's hardware, I guess a trip to the Genius Bar would be called for. (The MBP is still under AppleCare, so I'm not concerned about cost, but I don't want to be without a laptop for the duration of a repair cycle.)

Just to clarify, since you didn't specifically mention it: are you absolutely certain your table is 100%, completely total "flat"? (IOW, use a metal ruler to check. A wood ruler can bend or bow so you need something that you are 100% confident is true flat.) Obviously, if the table is not perfectly flat, (i.e.: is bulging up,) then of course that could cause the Trackpad to wobble. There are two rubber feet on the front of the Magic Trackpad, but the back under the batteries is "solid." (See the description in second paragraphy in my response here, if you're not sure what I'm talking about.) So it is more critical to have the table under the battery area of the Trackpad more "flat" than under the front of the Trackpad, but of course any unevenness in the table could cause a wobble..

Native notes sync (via gmail) on multiple devices

I sync my notes (from the native notes app) via gmail over both my iPad and my android phone. I noticed today that if I edit a note (that is already synced with both devices) with my iPad while it has no Internet connection, the changes are not retained - it gets uploaded to my google account once I get Internet again, but gmail has them received two later syncs from my phone (a later time stamp) which then replaces my note with the last addition, and the old version of that note is instead uploaded to google from my phone and then pulled from google by my iPad, replacing my latest addition with the older (yet according to time stamp newer) note from my phone.
I guess notes doesn't have a way of checking which content is really the latest?
Now that I think about it, I might have opened that particular note on my phone after the ipad edits, but before bringing my iPad on touch with Internet again... Which would of course create a more recent version of that note, replacing the update on my iPad...
The nice thing is that all revisions are stored on my google account so I never lost any data.
Is there however a way to have notes detect such conflicts or no?

As you 'saw on the Apple website' (for example, in this kbase article), Notes syncing is over USB only. You state that you use MobileMe. To sync notes from a Mac to your iPhone, you'll need to connect the iPhone and sync via iTunes. Be sure to deselect other items on the Info tab synced by MobileMe (calendars, etc.) and be sure Notes syncing is checked. Have you tried that?
EDIT: Seems you figured it out yourself as I was answering. Is it working now?

IPod Touch ver 3.0 Notes app.

Hi,
I've been happily using then notes app on my iPod Touch, when I noticed that one of my note pages changed the font from the "script" type font to an Arial type font. I'm not sure what I did to change it.
Is there any way to change it back?
Thanx!
Ron V.

Hi RonV!
If you're using a Mac and the "Mail" application for Mac you can go to Mail and on the left side select "Reminders" and then select "Notes". A list of your notes should appear and you can then select the note that you want to change the font on. Once you've selected it you will see the "font" option in the toolbar.
If you are not using a Mac & Mail…I haven't a clue, sorry. I don't think there's a way to change the font on the native "Notes" app directly on the iPod Touch. If there is, it's news to me.

Notes App Crashes when Update Teared-off iCloud Notes on iDevices

This is not a question, but a bug.
After I tear-off a note (double-clicked the note from the list) from the Notes app with iCloud enabled, and then edit it on iPhone (iOS6.0.1), 2 problem occurred:
1. The updates will NOT show on the tear-off piece; however, they show on the one on the Notes app screen;
2. When I try to close the tear-off note (using the usual red cross icon at the upper-left), the Notes app crashes.
I guess this issue is due to incomplete design of the sync flow of Notes via iCloud. The reason being that when I update the note on Mac with the same note opened on iPhone, the Notes app on iPhone had to force close the note and go back to the notes selection list. I guess the Dev team couldn't figure out a way to dramatically update the opened Note on the fly without "refreshing" it. Probably had to rebuild the Notes app and they gave up?
A bit disappointed as I helped promoting how useful the iCloud is and keep telling people "it just works". Cuz basically, it didn't.

I found the solution to this problem. You'll find it in a similar thread that was started here:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19042689#19042689

Can't open URL in Notes app?

I have a note with url links and comments beside them. Touching the links, which are underlined and have a different color, does nothing. Also holding the link for a couple seconds, then choosing "Open" from the options that appear does not open the link in a safari. Is this a known issue?

Should, unless there is a SSL or firewall restriction. Every link I have added to notes works fine for me. The note does need to be out of edit mode for the hyperlink to work.
Other than that, All I can recommend is too try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
Or to use something else to capture that information. Note sure the Notes app is the best way of managing that type of info.
