Either:
- Do not restore form that backup

Where iTunes backups are stored on your computer
The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press theReturn key.

HT2534 How do you use an iTunes card after you have redeemed it?? I have entered my code for redeem and when I click on purchase song it asks me for a credit card?!

How do you use your iTunes card after you have redeemed it. I have entered my redeem code and my balance is $20.00 but when I go to buy a song it asks me for my credit card details...?!

If you set up an Apple ID already and didn't enter credit card details because you were planning on using gift cards only, you probably set up the account incorrectly. If this is the case, you will have to enter the credit card details even if you want to use only gift cards and download free content only. Yoy will not have to use the card, but you can't use the ID without entering the card details now. You may be able to remove the card as well after the card is verified for use by Apple by editing your account details.
There is a very specific manner in which you have to set up an ID without using a credit card. You can read about it here.

See this about changing iTunes account information.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1918
If you decide to create a new ID now, you will new another email address as wel, because the email address that you are currently using will already be associated with the ID that you just set up.
I am making certain assumptions here and reading between the lines of your post, so if I am guessing incorrectly, post back with more details.

Yes....
On the new computer, launch iTunes. From the menu bar click click Store / Authorize This Computer.
Then re download your iTunes purchases.

I am trying to switch laptops with my mom, and successfully wiped mine and restored it, but now her password won't allow her into my computer, even though it says it's her account. Is there any way to bypass the password screen?

I am trying to switch laptops with my mom, and successfully wiped mine and restored it, but now the password that she used on her computer isn't working on this computer. Is there any logical reason why the two passwords would be different, if I restored her information from a Time Machine backup? Aditionally, Is there a way to bypass the password page on startup to make a password that my mom knows?

If Disk Warrior does not work you can try the following steps (but they may not work if the disk has a hardware error).
Get the disk (DVD or CD) that came with the system (since you have it listed as 10.6.8). If it is 10.7 or 10.8 use the Recovery partition to boot from or the USB installer if you have that option.
Insert the disk then power down
HOLDING the C key, power up to boot from the disc.
Get to Disk Utility
If Disk Utility will now show your hard drive, use DU to REPAIR the disk.
When it completes the Repair process successfully as indicated in DU, do a shut down. If Repair is not successful then an different course of action is indicated below.
Then HOLDING THE APPLE (or Command key depending on your keyboard) KEY AND THE OPTION KEY AND THE LETTER P AND R KEYS, continue hiolding them until you hear the chime tone for the THIRD time then release all four keys.
If REPAIR is not successful, use the Install disc as a boot and REINSTALL THE OS X OPERATING SYSTEM DO NOT ERASE THE DISK OR VOLUME FIRST. REPEAT DO NOT erase the disk or volume before trying to reinstall the OS X operating system. After re-installing the OS do a software update. Note that ERASING the disk is NOT required to do an OS re-install. This allows your existing data and application files to remain.
If that fails then you are down to the "bitter end" of erasing the volume and reinstalling the OS and then all the other software.
If erasing the Volume fails then your last hope is to completely erase the entire hard drive, repartion the disk and try a re-install.
If that fasils then you may have a defective hard disk.

Is there any way to get the server app other that through the app store. We do not have our system conneted to a network. I typical downloaded items on a non-apple system.

is there any way to get the server app other than through the app store. The system that I need it on are not connected to the internet.
We run a closed-loop network of apple systems and I tipically downloaded updates on a non-apple system that was on the internet.
Any ideas?

I did buy the server app, went to the app store to download it. This system I'm using for downloads is Snow Leopard 10.6.8, it shows that I can download it but only as an Install which says I need 10.8. I can't seem to find a way for it to just download as a package or .dmg file so that I can copy it to DVD/CD or flash drive.

Is there any way to limit the number of times that a PDF can be opened?

I run a small publishing company and we want to provide exam copies of our books to professors. At present our exam copies have the words EXAM COPY as a water mark on every page and we've also made the files so that they can't be printed or easily copied. However, we'd like to also restrict these PDFs so that they can only be opened 5 times. I've read about FileOpen but that approach seems a bit more complex than needed. Is there any other way to restrict the number of times that a PDF file can be opened once it is downloaded? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

DRM soltions like FileOpen are your best bet for PDFs. Others include Adobe's LiveCycle Rights Managment, LockLizard, Armjisoft PDF Security OwnerGuard, etc.
They all work and are priced differently, but there's really nothing for what you want to do that is both simpler and secure.

Is there any way to control the zoom factor so that when my SSIS Package is opened, it is entirely visible within Visual Studio?

I have formatted my SSIS Package beautifully, if I do say so myself, so that all my tasks are visible at 50% zoom. However, when I close my project and then re-open it in Visual Studio, it defaults back to 100%...YUK!
I did find this post which didn't seem to work...even to the point that no where within my xml could I even find the "PersistedZoom" Parameter. I even tried manually adding it, I couldn't find the exact syntax on it, and that didn't even work.
1. In BIDS (Visual Studio) first close all open SSIS packages / xml files to avoid confusion ...
2. Right click on the SSIS package and select the "View Code" menu item. (to open the actual xml)
3. Search for all instances of "PersistedZoom" and change the value directly to the right of it to 100 (mine
was 80 or 90 ...)
4. Now save and close the XML file.
5. Now open the SSIS package in the designer, you will notice that it is still scrolled to the bottom right!
6. Now make any small change (I scrolled to the top-left and just slightly moved a task)
7. Now save and close the designer
8. Re-open the SSIS package in the designer! and what do you know it does not start scrolled down to the bottom right anymore!
Let me know if you still have issues - but as I said I followed this same process on all my problem packages and they ALL now open correctly.
I noticed that after doing all this the PersistedZoom property disappeared from the xml, which leads me to believe that if I zoom in and out of my packages again it will probably get stuck by opening to the bottom right again ...
Can anyone help me out with this?
Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.
PSULionRP

There is no way to preserve view preferences.Just remember or annotate the zoom % used in the package.
You may want to open an MS Connect item asking to add such a feature.
I can tell you it may not be implemented because a package may be opened on different size monitors.

From this article:
iTunes: About iOS backups
Here's the answer:
Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.

Background Rendering - Any way to curb the percentage of processor that Final Cut uses when rendering?

When Final Cut X tires to render something on my machine it literally maxes out all 8 cores, sometimes it takes 15-20 mins to process edits I make to the frames, making my wholemachine freez up. Is there a way to cap the amount of processor the FCX is using for rendering? It wiould be ideal if I could set this at 50% or something, so i could at least work on other projects while my machine is rendering. I made global edits to the whole video I am working on that involve keying and transforms on the frames, so everytime i make an edit early on in the movie, it seems to be re-rendering the transform and key effects through the whole movie. Its a pain!
Next time, I'm going to have to use proxy media. Hopefully that will help.

If your system can handle native rendering, then turn off background rendering and only render when you need to.
If you system is stuggling with native rendering, convert to Pro Res, again keeping background rendering off.

When I click on bookmarks it keeps asking me to sign in and I am signed in to Google. This just started happening and I have niot done any Firefox upgrades.

same as above - my bookmarks come up fine in Internet Explorer but not in Firefox as of a few days ago - it just keeps asking me to sign in - I sign in and it does it over and over again

Are you using Google Bookmarks rather than the built in Firefox bookmarks?
Google changed the login URL for Google accounts and the Google Toolbar addon needs to be fixed by Google to correct the URL it is trying to log in to.

Any way to reset the iPod preferences in iTunes?

For a while now I've had a problem where my iPod Shuffle is recognized as a Shuffle by the Finder, but not by the iPod updater or iTunes. They both seemed to think that the Shuffle was actually a normal iPod. Contacts and calendars would try to sync and even if I only let a couple songs get transferred, I can't hear them with the Shuffle anyway.
This problem had gone away for a couple weeks. My computer was restarted and all of a sudden iTunes was recognizing my Shuffle as a gasp Shuffle. Unfortunately, today it went back to thinking it was some other kind of iPod. So I did a software update (iTunes 6.0.3 to 6.0.4 and a security update) and allowed the computer to restart. Still having the same darn problem. In iTunes the Shuffle isn't recognized as a Shuffle but is recognized as a normal iPod.
When it shows up on the desktop, however, it has the Shuffle icon.
My Powerbook running the same OS and software versions works fine - but all my music is on my desktop. Please someone tell me how to get iTunes to work properly!

You could try if deleting the iPod prefs. helps.
Move 'com.apple.iPod.plist' (in ~/Users/YourUsername/Library/Preferences) to the trash.
Run iTunes. iTunes will create a new iPod prefs. file.
If this doesn't work, you might have to restore the iPod:
Restoring iPod to factory settings
Hope this helps.

Any way to get the Tiger folder=menu behavior back?

I didn't realize how much I missed this Tiger feature until now it's gone:
In Tiger, if you dragged a folder into the Dock, you could click-and-hold on it to display a pop-up menu of its contents. If there were other folders inside it, they would display as submenus. You could follow along the submenus until you reached the item you wanted. For example, you could launch an application or open a document buried several layers deep in sub-folders by following along the pop-up menus.
In Leopard, as far as I can tell, if you put a folder's icon in the Dock, you can ONLY make it behave as a Stack. Stacks are OK if everything in the folder is at the same level... but if you've got other folders inside, the Stack is pretty much useless.
Has anyone found a way to get the Tiger functionality back? I've tried the fn, ctrl, option and command keys, hoping one of these would display the submenus, but no luck.

Okay, I found that third-party developers have stepped up with ways to do this (one I've tried is the free HierarchicalDock -- http://www.eternalstorms.at/utilities/hierdock/) but now that I've had a few weeks to get used to Leopard, I find that I don't miss menu folders as much as I did. They were always kind of slow to update anyway, and there are other ways in Leopard to do what I want.
