What's this I hear about Gmail and the iPhone?

I have a gmail account with my iphone. I opened up a thread a few days ago saying something about gmail and the iphone (I didn't get to read the thread though) making it sound like the emails would get to my phone faster or something.
Anyone know what I'm talking about?

what you are talking about is called "pull", the phone pulls new messages every 15 minutes.
in "push" mode if someone sends you an email it is pushed to your phone instantly, you don't have to wait up to 15 minutes for it to show up.
you can find information about "push" vs. "pull" email on the internet (google works well for searching for information), wikipedia is especially handy:

and here is info about gmail push:

  • Gmail and the iPhone

    My business uses Gmail as their email platform.  I have two email addresses with them, one is my alias.  I have setup my pc to default to send from my alias, but cannot figure out how to do it on my iPhone 4S and iPad.  Thank you in advance for any help!

The iPhone "My Name here" could not be synced because the iPhone could not be found on the network. that is a pop up box in middle of screen that says that it does it like every time I go to sync the phone after i do app updates. I am getting very frustrated by this can someone please help. I have made 2 other discussion topics about this and no replies on them. Please if anyone can help I ask for help. This has occurred ever since the iOS 5.1 update and the iTunes 10.6.0 and still continues with the iTunes 10.6.1 update just yesterday and perhaps even worse now. PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN. I have looked through my network settings etc and everything looks good here on my side.

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price
    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
    iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
    Replace the jack yourself

    the person who can best give you the right answer is no other than the person who gave you that question.
    with that limited information you gave me, it's quite difficult for me to point you in the right direction as i don't know the whole picture of your problem.
    if you would insist so, i would say take up the ff courses:
    1. Introduction to SQL/SQL*Plus
    2. PL/SQL
    3. Oracle Reports
    3. Oracle Forms
    4. Oracle Portal/Collaboration suite
    5. etc.
    and these will take you some time to accomplish.

  • The loading bar at the bottom of my browser has disappeared and I want to reinstall or reactivate it. How do I do this please and what is this bar called? I use the lastest version of Firefox 3.6.3 and Windows XP.

    The loading bar at the bottom of my Firefox browser has suddenly disappeared and I want to reinstall or reactivate it. How do I do this please and what is this bar called? I use the latest version of Firefox 3.6.3 and Windows XP. I have many add ons and I usually automatically install the recommended updates. This problem has never happened before and switching my browser on and off again does not solve the issue.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I am not sure why this suddenly happened. I think it may have been after my usual updates but I am not sure if that has anything to do with it at all.

    Loading Bar? Maybe the URL/address bar where you type sites you want to go to (like www.google.com)? See Navigation Bar below. You may also need to see the first item "Can't see the Menu Bar".
    <u>'''Can't see the Menu Bar'''</u> (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help)?
    Turning the Menu Bar on and off is a new feature in version 3.6.
    ''(Linux & OSX see: [[Menu bar is missing]] )''
    <u>''Windows'' Method 1.</u> '''''Hold down''''' the key and press the following letters in this exact order: V T M
    <u>''Windows'' Method 2.</u> Press and release the key. The Menu Bar will be displayed; then choose ~~red:V~~iew > ~~red:T~~oolbars and click on ~~red:M~~enu Bar.
    The Menu Bar should now be displayed permanently, unless you turn it off again using View > Toolbars. Check mark = displayed, NO check mark = not displayed.
    See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Menu+bar+is+missing
    <u>'''Navigation Toolbar, Bookmarks Toolbar and other Toolbars'''</u> under View > Toolbars. Clicking on one of them will place a check mark (display) or remove the check mark (not displayed).

    You can un-install the Mozilla ActiveX control as Firefox no longer uses it and hasn't since, as I recall, version 2. See: [[ActiveX]]
    To remove Tools > Add-ons > Extensions, click on the item, click Uninstall, click Restart Firefox in the Extensions window.

    *<u>'''NOTE: On Vista and Windows 7'''</u> you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). See this: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/run_as_administrator.htm

    Google them to confirm the settings that you need for the outgoing server, then check the setting you entered on the pad.  Pay real close attention to the outgoing server name, and port.  You may need to change in on the pad.

  • What does " this code must be redeemed in the Australian storefront " mean? And how can I fix it?

    What does " this code must be redeemed in the Australian storefront " mean? And can I fix it?

    All iTunes gifts and gift cards are country-specific, they can only be redeemed and used in their country of issue. Are you in Australia with an Australian billing address on your account ? If you are then try going to the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on your iPad and tap on your account id, tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account, and then select the Country/Region section and select Australia.
    If you are not in Australia then you won't be able to use it.

  • What makes this a Key Figure Model (and not Account Model in BW) ?

    I am reviewing a document on Key Figure Model versus Account Model in BW.
    this example is said to be "Key Figure" Model
    Customer     Revenue     Deductions     COGS
    A            100 DM      390 DM         50 DM
    What makes this a Key Figure Model (and not Account Model in BW)

    Hi Amanda,
    Consider the simplified a company income statement:
    Sales
    COGS
    -- Gross profits
    Selling and Administrative expense
    Deperication expense
    -- Operating profit
    Interest expense
    -- Earnings before taxes
    Taxes
    -- Earnings after taxes
    Each of this lines is represented in BW as a key figure (lines with '--' represented as calculated KFs).
    Different persons or companies may use their own details of income statement. For example, someone want to see instead of one line "Selling and Administrative expense" two - separatly selling and administrative expenses, or even break down of these expenses by category. In the KF model every new introducted line should be represented by a new KF.
    In the Account Model every line is represented by one KF only. Let name it as 'Amount'. Another characteristic is telling us what kind of amount it is. Imagine that you have accounting trial balance that lists accounts, starting and ending balances, and debit and credit turnovers for each account.
    An accountant will tell you that a credit turnover in account #XXXX represent the company revenue (sales), a debit turnover in account #YYYY - cost of goods sold etc.
    Simplified inflow of transactional data will consist of:
    Account Amount
    XXXX    -12345
    YYYY    8765
    etc.
    In this model (assuming that you load data for all accounts) you can easily change the scheme of calculations and their presentations (groupping, regroupping etc.) in reports without creating new KFs.
    In your example you provide a KF model because every distinct type of amounts is represented by its own KF.
    Best regards,
    Eugene

  • Firefox will open 4 or 5 tabs fine, but then will not load any further websites after those first 4 or 5, or allow you to refresh one of those first tabs -- including about:config and the addon page

    Firefox 5 worked fine. I installed Firefox 7, and when I ran it, tabs would just say "connecting to..." and hang. Restarting did not help. Websites open fine in IE and Chrome. Disabled all firewalls and antivirus, did not help. Uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox 5, everything worked fine again. This was using Vista 64-bit.
    Upgraded to Windows 7, uninstalled Firefox 5, installed Firefox 7, had same problem. Uninstalled Firefox 7 completely (including the profile information, I saved that information in another folder), restarted computer, and installed Firefox 7 using a completely clean profile. Did not install any add-ons, checked to make sure all plug-ins were up-to-date, and updated plugins.
    Now when I start Firefox, I can load 3 or 4 or 5 tabs fine -- after those first few tabs are open, I cannot open or refresh any other tabs -- including about:config and the add-on manager -- I have to restart Firefox. The hangup doesn't appear to be related to what websites I am attempting to open, but it looks like the number is the problem. I have run through all of the FAQ procedures, including changing the max number of network connections to 48, and the problem does not seem to go away.
    As a side note, I had this same problem when I tried to go from version 5 to version 6 as well. Version 5 is the most recent version that worked on my system.

    Can you try Aurora - download it from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/
    And let us know how it works.

  • HT1414 my daughter has iphone 3gs and it required an update , so i connected the iphone to itunes for update and the iphone locked up, I had to reset back to factory settings and now the iphone will not activate , what can i do

    My daughter has an iphone 3gs and it required an update. So i connected the iphone to itunes for the update and the iphone locked up . I had to reset the iphone back to factory settings and now the iphone will not activate , Please advise what i can do to get this working for her ?

    Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
    hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
    original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
    carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
    if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    Where did you acquire this iPhone?
    What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
    Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?

  • What does this parameter do "Force SQLExecute" in the background.

    Can anybody tell me  what does this parameter does  "Force SQLExecute" in the background?
    It is in the sbo file.

    Guarav,
    I searched for your comment "Force SQLExecute" in the slew of BO XI R2 PDFs I have stockpiled away and found this entry in the PDF "boxir2sp2_readme_with_chf.pdf":

    ADAPT00597178 Patch ID: 39,211,515
    Description:
    When an SQL server ODBC connection is used, users are unable to create a Desktop Intelligence report that is based on a stored procedure that creates, populates, and then drops a temporary table.
    New Behavior:
    This problem is resolved.
    Known Limitations:
    If users want to execute a stored procedure that creates, populates, and then drops a temporary table in Free-Hand mode, they can modify the odbc.sbo file:
    1. In a text editor, open the odbc.sbo file, which is in the following directory: <BOEINSTALLFOLDER>\BusinessObjects
    Enterprise 11.5\win32_x86\dataAccess\connectionServer\odbc.sbo.
    2. In the sections "MS SQL Server 7.x", "MS SQL Server 2000" and "MS SQL Server 2005", locate the following line:
    <Parameter Name="Force SQLExecute">Procedures</Parameter>
    3. Replace the line with the following:
    <Parameter Name="Force SQLExecute">Always</Parameter>
    -unquote
    So hopefully this tidibit of information helps you to understand the parameter and usage.
    Thanks,
    John
