  • Is there a way to make my iPhone 6s off only if it is no longer blocked?

    I did some research on Google and that you have not seen someone ask this question or whether it is still possible. I was wondering if there was a way to make my iPhone 6 won't be put off if the phone has been unlocked. Someone stole your phone, and you wanted to turn off your phone, so he could not be the subject of a follow-up, all they would have to do is hold down the power button if it is in a locked State or not. If you can turn off the power off the power so that the phone is locked, then the thief would be not able to turn off your phone and you would be free to follow. Also, if you tag which, as well as the deactivation of the lock screen control center, a thief would be unable to put your phone in airplane either mode. In this way a thief would have no way to disconnect your phone and you would be free to follow your phone thanks to find my iPhone.

    No, there is no option. This is discussed in a new thread every two weeks and has been for many years.

    Prevent a thief off the phone will be not traceable. The thief can just wrap your phone in aluminum foil, place in the shopping bag shielded from a thief to shoplift or remove the SIM card. Even if you could follow, what would you? Fight against the thief and get battered or murdered (it's happened)? You might be able to interest the police if you were really quick about it and they have had the time to follow what is essentially petty larceny, but it's a rather low probability. As it is, if the phone has an access code it will be useless to the thief, because they cannot use it and can never erase it and activate it.

    The downside is that it can lead users who have not lost their phones crazy. I can imagine the positions of them: ' why do I have to enter an access code to turn off my phone? It's STUPID. APPLE, ARE YOU LISTENING? »

  • What is the quick way to check if the battery current sequency contains nothing or not?

    Hi all

    I have switch from C++ to the labview in a short time before. I got a code written in labview 7 someone else and I am trying to change a code in my labview 2012. In the code, there are a lot of nested structures (like sequency battery, case, etc.). Some code contains 30 batteries but not all subsequences contains controls or code. Someone when I pass in a sequence, it seems empty, but some controls or code could be hiding somewhere beyond the current view. Thus, instead of zoom current sequency block, is that any quick way to identify if the block contains another type or not? Thank you.

    It is spelled "sequence".

    Make sure that autogrow is enabled for the sequence stacked so that you don't have the problem of the code hidden beyond the edges.

    Right-click on the stacked sequence and choose replace with flat sequence.  It will extend things, but how you can see all the pictures.

    Block diagram cleanup allows to get rid of more space and clean up the code.

    If you see empty images, you can right-click on the border between frames and select merge the images.  You should also do this if you have separate frames that should not be because there is already a data dependence that determines the sequence of operation.

  • Is there a simple and quick way of deleting these temporary files?

    To clear my comp. congestion and help speed up my PC, my ISP told me to put temp5 Prefetch and % and Temp in start-run to delete the temporary files. It's a bit long-winded that each group must be deleted separately. Disk Clean up does not get rid of them. Is there a simple and quick way of deleting these temporary files? Thanks Brian

    Delete the contents of the prefetch folder will not help speed things up.  In fact, it will probably slow things down.  See http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-system/can-i-delete-the-data-in-the-prefetch-folder/c54a8e56-c8cf-451d-a88f-07f06a2f2d54
    I guess temp5% is a typo and you really wanted to say %Temp%.  Percent signs indicate that it is an "environment variable" with the usual value of C:\Documents and Settings\, yourusername\Local Settings\Temp

    The directory specified by %Temp% is, in fact, the directory cleaned by the cleaning of record under the name "temporary files".  Why do you think that disk cleanup is not delete files?  Note that disk cleanup does not remove the files in this directory which came in the last 7 days (this period may be changed by changing a registry value).

    What disk cleanup does NOT, however, is to clean temporary files, files for the Internet browser cache and other files in places of profile-specific to the user of different profiles that you are currently using.  Disk Cleanup also does not delete the contents of C:\Windows\Temp (although it doesn't fill up with very much).  C:\Windows\Temp is the directory that appears when you type Temp in start > run (without the percent sign).  And, of course, disk cleanup will not empty the cache of the browser by non-Microsoft browsers, e.g. Firefox.

    There are third-party applications that make a "deep" cleaning  Some of them clean files of all users without having to login to each profile separately.  Most understand the characteristics that you should not use.

    Here are 2 - there are others, but I haven't used.

    ATF-Cleaner  (do not delete prefetch)
    CCleaner (do not use the registry tool)

  • Is there a quick way to encapsulate the informal in the tags [Para] text?

    I'm trying my new framework 12 trying to produce an ebook in several formats. I use the out-of-copyright Agatha Christie A MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR at STYLES.

    Is there a quick way to wrap each paragraph with a [Para] tag?

    Thanks in advance.

    TdeV1,

    With your extended description, I know now exactly what you mean. I am facing similar situations frequently, where I have several paragraphs that I need to paste it into a single element, then divide each paragraph in its own element.

    Unfortunately, FM has no native functionality to automate this process, despite the way it must be pretty common need. In my case, I'm a developer FDK and hacked together a small plugin it does. ExtendScript could also be used. If you don't want to do programming, then the other option is a conversion table. You will need to paste the content in a document completely unstructured, run the conversion process to structure, then copy the items newly covered in your DITA topic. You cannot run the conversion process on a document that currently has any structure.

    So to summarize, you must make some scripts/programs or learn how to build a conversion table. If this interests you, find conversion tables in the Structure Developer's Guide. In this case, it would be an exceptionally simple conversion table, perhaps even just a single line. If you have to do this process several times, I think it would be worth your time to study.

  • Is there a way to make a custom brush vector sweetness meet at begging and end the race?

    Is there a way to make a custom vector Brush softness meet at the begging and the end of the race, as a circle?  I am trying to create smooth circles with a brush and Wacom.  I want a brush rather than a perfect circle of mathmatically with a perfect line weight-weight, but I don't like how to join two beginning and end.  I like the slight variations of the human imperfections we get when using a vector Brush, but there must be a way to make the joing points smoother look, rather than a title error after the fact, right?  Is this possible?

    The image below illustrates my attempts to make it as smooth as possible joint, but it still seems too as it was not meant to be.

    You'd be better off drawing with the pencil tool, applying a standard race and then using a profile of race or the width tool to create the vocabulary of the race.

  • Quick way to create a gradient of selected fill color?

    I create gradients all the time and I wonder if there is a quick way to create a gradient based on the fill color of the currently selected object. For example: I chose an area with a BLUE fill color. I'm going in the gradient panel and see that what the gradient will be if I click on it (which is usually based on a default gradient WHITE to BLACK, or it comes from the most recent gradiented object, I've touched). So I click on it and the gradient is enabled with the stops not being is not BLUE. What I want is... If I select a box with a BLUE fill and click on gradient - it will create a gradient with the two cases being the same BLUE as the fill color. It would be very convenient because instead of clicking on each stop, shift-eyedropping the blue color in an area of duplicated, it would begin immediately with the gradient of blue-blue for me to adjust (in the case below for a button I'd the superior light and lower darker stop).

    Screen Shot 2012-12-14 at 5.04.17 PM.png

    It is rather useful to select an object with a gradient to 'copy' this gradient, select a new object, click the gradient panel and have this new object to take on this exact gradient. But most of the time I'm not degraded copy but I'm creating new ones, and it makes more sense for me to create a gradient fill color. It would be helpful to someone else?

    This script is that it creates a gradient with both having the same color as the selected object

    var idoc = app.activeDocument;
    var sel = idoc.selection[0];
    
    var myGrad = idoc.gradients.add();
    myGrad.gradientStops[0].color = sel.fillColor;
    myGrad.gradientStops[1].color = sel.fillColor;
    
    var fillcolor = new GradientColor;
    fillcolor.gradient = myGrad;
    sel.fillColor = fillcolor;

  • Best way to make my SSD works again with a single partition

    There are 2.5 years, I replaced the original on my computer with a SSD hard drive. Months after I installed the beta version of Yosemite, the latest operating system for Mac at the time. To do this, the system created a partition on my drive, in which he has installed the beta version of Yosemite.

    I have today on the same partition, I installed Yosemite, Sierra macOS running. In the other, I have all files, so I want to eliminate. However, when I try to do this by using the disk on my Mac utility, it is not possible; I get a message that says I can't delete the first volume of the disc. When I try to increase the size of the partition on which macOS Sierra operates, so reduced the size of the other, the system won't let me.

    I would like to know what is the best way to make my SSD works with only one partition.

    You cannot delete the last partition that was created, that not 1.

    You can clone the content from the 2nd to the 1st, then you can remove the 2nd.
