What is the procedure for a clean installation retaining all data?

I'm preparing for Lion and would like t make sure that I install on a clean system. I've had Time Machine running for a couple of years but being a conservative computer user I would like a secondary backup of all data from my three user accounts on this iMac. Is there a preferred documented procedure for this task, keeping in mind that Lion is reported to be available only as a download.

Nobody who knows can say. The published stuff isn't clear on the point, so we'll have to wait for the announcement.
In theory, you may be able to clone your SL installation to an external, download the installer to it, then erase the internal and install it there, but we really don't know yet.
Especially since Snow Leopard, though, clean installs rarely accomplish anything. Installing just gets a fresh copy of OSX and the default Apple apps, without leaving any detritus behind. Any number of folks haven't done one in many years, with no ill effects.
Yes, secondary backups are strongly recommended. See #27 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions for some suggestions.

What is the procedure for a hard boot of my iPod touch 4th generation without itunes, and without computer, and without iPod data screen.?

What is the procedure for a hard boot of my iPod touch 4th generation
without iTunes, and without computer, and without iPod data screen?
6 months after purchase I updated my iPod touch as recommend by iTunes.
It has not worked since that day. It frozen (disabled) with a "connect to
iTunes" icon displayed...that is the only thing it does. itunes does not
recognize the iPod. My Windows7 computer recognizes an Apple device.
Other computers recognize the devise but if iTunes resided on that
computer it did not recognize the iPod
I suffered a setback with deep depression and am just now getting out of it enough to do something. The depression prohibited me from taking action.
I have done every procedure recommended from Apple help and external
sources. I did this thoroughly with help for other owners and IT experts,
Apple employees etc etc. I and associates have perform reboots utilizing a
number procedure using only button on the iPod. These were unsuccessful
also have performed.
Please do not ask me to do the usual.
Online I saw a process using the buttons on the iPod to completely
reformat
the iPod. It was NOT the hold buttons for 10 sec let go of one wait 8 sec
etc. I can not find the process now...a friend showed it to me in passing
I have lost contact with him. This is the procedure, I believe, that with

You need an internet connection and likely a computer with iTunes but an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with the FindMy iPhone App may work by:
If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
Otherwise
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
Yo may have to go to an Apple store or a friend's house with an internet connection and iTunes.

What are the procedures for getting Apple to remotely wipe all my data off my ipad that was stolen? I have no hope of recovering it. Please advise asap...thanks!

What are the procedures for getting Apple to wipe the data off my original ipad I bought two years ago. I had it stolen from a hotel room over the weekend and it is not password protected and no I did not download app to find it.
Any hwlp would be greting appreciated!

Apple can't do it, only you could potentially do it if you had enabled Find My iPad on it before it was stolen.
If it was stolen then you should report it to the police. As a safety precaution you should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

iTunes manages your photos between the iPad and iPhoto on the iMac. If you have things set up correctly, then the photos will go to iPhoto for safe keeping and later use.

Lock them up in a cart. Power off completely. If you don't have enough iPad carts any secure area will do - see environmental requirements below. You will just have to recharge each one next fall as they will not retain enough power to turn back on.
Operating temperature: 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C)
Nonoperating temperature: -4° to 113° F (-20° to 45° C)
Relative humidity: 5% to 95% noncondensing

I have an iphone 4 with videos on it that I'd like to transfer to an IMac so that I can email them. (the iphone isn't in use anymore.) What's the procedure for transfering videos from an iphone to an iMac?

I have an iphone 4 with videos on it that I'd like to transfer to an IMac so that I can email them. (the iphone isn't in use anymore.) What's the procedure for transfering videos from an iphone to an iMac?

Connect the iPhone to your Mac with its USB cable and launch iPhoto. In iPhoto you can select which files to upload into the library. Once in the library export them out of iPhoto to a folder on the Desktop via File ➙ Export ➙ File Export with Kind=Original. That will give you copies of the videos in the folder for use outside of iPhoto.
If you want to bypass importing into iPhoto try launching Image Capture and manually upload the selected video files to the folder of your choice.

What is the procedure for creataing a portal service

Hi All
an any one tell, What is the procedure for creataing a portal service inorder to establish a connection to Netweaver from Java.
Regds
Phanikumar

Hi,
I dont understand exactly your use case -- "connection to NetWeaver from java -- but a portal service is simply a portal application that contains a single java class that inherits from IService.
The NWDS has a wizard for creating a new portal object, and one type of object is a service. The wizard in this case creates a public interface and a private implementation of your service.
For more information, see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/df/e6b74253ffda11e10000000a155106/frameset.htm.

What is the procedure for FDM App Migration from v9 to v11

Kindly provide the procedure for Migrating of FDM application from system 9.3.1 to v11.1.2.1.
and also Please share the documents if you folks having.
Thanks in Advance.
AVSR
Edited by: 948364 on Jul 24, 2012 5:07 AM

This is covered in the documentation pretty well I believe; however, here's the outline I followed...
- Copy FDM databases to v11 database server. (I renamed mine to follow my v11 naming scheme, but ...)
- Copy FDMApps folders over (i.e. Inbox files, scripts, etc)
- Add the applications to the new FDM. (i.e. from the login screen, pick Add Application
- Run Schema Update tool on your FDM applications
- Run User Migration Tool on your FDM applications
- Extract Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\FinancialDataQuality\SharedComponents\DBSetup.zip to /Data/Scripts/Custom folder for each FDM App
- Update Machine Profiles (Workbench) (Repeat for each application)
- Add Adapter (Repeat for each application)
- Configure Adapter (Repeat for each application)
- Fix mappings*
In v9, you don't have to map dimensions you don't use. In v11 you do.... Instead of doing it that hard way and manually updating hundreds of maps, I used SQL to do it. In my environment ICP, UD3, UD1, and UD2 generally were not mapped. You would need to update this accordingly.

   Function    : Bulk Create Import File Format field creator
   Author      : Charles Beyer
   Date        : 5/10/2012
   Description : This routine will automatically create a new record for each Import File Format
                 Corresponding to the supplied information. This may come in handy if you find
                 yourself needing to map a field that you have never needed before and MOST
                 of the locations are not actively mapping it yet.
                 It will also take care of the incrementing of the ImpSeq field automatically for you
                 Finally, it will create a * to * mapping to serve as a generic placeholder in the location's
                 map
   Input(s)    :
                 @FDMField = This is the FDM field name such as UD2

-- Since for some silly reason ImpSeq is not an identity field, we need to increment the values
-- To play nice
update tBhvImpItemFile set @ImpSeq = ImpSeq = @ImpSeq + 1 where ImpSeq = 0

What is the procedure for logging a Bug in AIR?

I believe that a bug exists in AIR v1.0 when running a SWF
created using ActionScript 2 (for FlashPlayer 8) - what is the
process for reporting it or getting it fixed?
This is a serious problem for my customer, as they are
presently stuck to using AIR Beta 3 (which will expire)
The AIR App that was working under FlexBuilder3 Beta 2 &
Beta 3.
In AIR v1, I now get an error during debug:
ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property
__OnEnterFrameBeacon on _main_mx_managers_SystemManager.
It happens after button click in the SWF (loaded by
SWFLoader)
After I get this error, The SWF seems to 'lose itself', i.e.
the screen goes a bit 'haywire'' (both running in debug and as an
installed AIR Application). If I run the SWF without AIR it works
fine
Thanks,

What do I need for a clean installation

Recently I bought the T61p Thinkpad along with the preinstalled Vista Ultimate. I'm most satisfied about the system and its performance. However due to heavy(read crappy) preinstalled software the performance is wors than my other almost 8 years old laptop. Therefor I want to do a clean installation of the system software. My question is, what do I need when it comes to my OS when I decide to choose one partition and do a full format of my hd. I have read several online tutorials on this issue but there's no info on what you need for this other than "a Vista CD" Does this mean I have to buy a new 'retail Vista Windows' or an 'OEM Vista Windows'(from Lenovo or any other shop?) or can I use the discs that came with the system listed beneath? And do I need to make a copy of all preinstalled progams and drivers or are they on the 8 discs?
What do I have already: Along with the Thinkpad there came 8 discs:
- 'Rescue and Recovery CD'
- 'Supplemental Product Recovery CD for type 6480,.....,.....etc.'
- '6x 'Product Recovery CD for ThinkPad T61,R61 Type 6480,.....,......etc'
Furthermore I've read something on this forum about the Intel turbomem and its NV cache??? Is this something to take in consideration when doing a clean install?
Thanks in advance!
Che

Hi, I post this in the other message and it may help you. Here is the steps for clean install for T61p (without Turbo memory):
1. Install you own Vista (you don't need to backup the original, Lenovo Thinkpad has the backup)
2. Install your firewall if you have one;
3. Plug in internet cable and download "automatic system update from Lenovo- system update
3.13" (here is the link: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/TVSU-UPDATE.html#hp) and install it. (The system update software can download all the drivers for you)
4. Before run the System update, adjust internet setting (internet option-->connection-->Lan setup-->disable automatic search (the first one)), otherwise the software'll be interrupted in the middle.
5. Run system update and download the drivers and softwares you need.
6. Download and install Video card driver: Either FM570 from Lenovo (for 3D work) or 8600GT(for gaming). (I just installed FM570 from Lenovo website cause I am using it for CAD as well)
Then........................
Tips for speed up the Vista (dramaticly~~!):
Control Panel-->System-->Advance system setup-->Advance-->Performence
-->>Advance-->virtual memory (change)-->Choose no page files
The reason for this is that HD almost does the most hard work in the latop and virtual memory will increase the most work load for it. Since we have 4GB ram, we don't need virtual memory and relase HD's load.

What is the procedure for iPhone 4 replacement?

I've got a replacement phone and had my original phone shipped back. But I received an email from apple, telling me my original phone was shipped back to me. In this case, what should I do next? Do I need to ship the replacement phone to them once I received my original phone?
But I did not see such policy on the email apple sent me. From the policy, it only emphasizes I must return my old phone within 10 days to expire the pending payment.
Thank you for telling me the procedure.

You're going to have to ask Apple. We are NOT Apple. We have no idea why they would have shipped your original back to you after providing a replacement.
