Any way to root a K1 without wiping the tab clean?

The instructions found on xda-develop and rootzwiki seem to indicate that the tablet will be wiped clean of apps and data. Is there any way to root the K1 without wiping everything clean? I'd like to backup some apps and data in preparation for flashing ICS which Mark says will also wipe the tablet clean.
Thanks!

You might be able to backup the apps with ES File explorer, but you won't be able to backup their data - the android security model sandboxes apps so that they can't access each others' data - this is why root is required for a proper backup.

With just ONE inatentive sweep of my finger one page of my note was disappeared! Is there any way it can be recovered without using the help of iCloud backup?

1. With just ONE inattentive sweep of my finger one page of my note disappered. Further more, the same page in my iPad was deleted automatically too! How could this happen? Is there any way it can be recovered without using the backup feature from iCloud? The data is vey important to me?
2. I havn't connect the power code to my iPad yet, the backup copy in the iClout was before the accident as I checked in iPad. Is there any way that I could open my notes in iCloud backup so that I can copy the missing page and move back to my iPad and iPhone?
Thanks a lot for any help!

Sorry, no. The only way to restore this note is to restore from a backup that contains it.

Hey guys I got a used iBook from a family friend that has it password protected.I can't update or delete programs or download anything without the passwords and he doesn't remember them.Is there any way for me to get around these without wiping the computer and starting from scratch?

Hello,
Sadly without the system disk you can't do a lot. I would suggest you enable root user, log in as root and reset your administrators password, however you can't without knowing the administrator password first.
The only solution would be is to obtain the correct system disk or buy a retail copy of Mac OS X. But note, it depends on what version of the iBook you own depends, on what version of Mac OS X you will require.
You can still obtain the system disk or retail disks from online vendors, but they come at a cost.
System disk are grey in color, while retail disk have a big 'X' on it.
Best of luck

Is there any way to check rc.conf without restarting the machine?

Hi everybody,
I've VPS running with Arch. It was preinstalled with very, very old versiol so I've upgraded everything, updated rc.conf by hand but still never restarted completely. So my question is - is there any way to check that the server will boot up without issues? Is there any way to check that rc.conf is completely valid?

peets, thanks! It seems to be ok at this point.
tomk, understood... Well, I'll paste it here maybe somebody could look throught for some possible incompability problems from old version:
LOCALE="en_US.utf8"
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
TIMEZONE="Europe/Vilnius"
KEYMAP="us"
CONSOLEFONT=
CONSOLEMAP=
USECOLOR="yes"
MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes"
MOD_BLACKLIST=()
MODULES=()
USELVM="no"
HOSTNAME="server"
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond sshd nginx mysqld @postfix php-fpm @svnse
rve @pure-ftpd)
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
INTERFACES=( "lo" "venet0" "venet0_0" )
venet0="venet0 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.255 broadcast 0.0.0.0"
rt_venet0="-net 191.255.255.1 netmask 255.255.255.255 dev venet0"
rt_default="default gw 191.255.255.1"
ROUTES=( "rt_venet0" "rt_default" )
venet0_0="venet0:0 79.98.27.163 netmask 255.255.255.255 broadcast 0.0.0.0"
The most important is to bring networking up after restart :-) last lines from "lo=..." is from old rc.conf so I'm not sure if this is compatible with newest Arch.
Thank you for help, guys!

Is there any way to send an album without all the photos attaching and the file being huge? and the file being huge?

Is there any way to send just a link to an album? (vs attaching everything and having a huge file?) Thanks!

No.
File -> Export and send them to a Folder on the desktop. Then do what you will with them from there.
There is nothing to be gained by installing Picasa if you're using iPhoto.

Is there any way to listen to music WITHOUT using the speakerphone or headphones?

I listen to streaming talk radio in my car, I usually have drive to and walk in and out of several office buildings throughout my day. I would like to be able to just put my BB up to my ear and pretend like I am listening to someone talk on the phone, when I'm really listening to the radio. Is there any way to do this? I hate having to fumble around with headsets every time I stop, and obviously I cant walk through a office building with the loud speakerphone/built in speaker blasting.

Sure there is.

Is there any way to restart an iPod without hitting the buttons?

Yeah...since my iPod is stuck on permanent lock, and I've tried everything the site gives me, I never came across a way to restart the iPod without having to hit the Select and Menu buttons. Is there?

It does show up in iTunes and I have restored it...both have proven unsuccessful. I've tried toggling the Hold button, and it's not on Screen Lock, just on Hold Lock.

Is there any way to turn off airport without removing the electrical plug and should I unplug it when not using it??

I just got the 5G Airport Extreme base station. Set-up was a snap! Maybe 10-15 minutes compared to a friend who got another name brand for his pc and took a couple hours, even having to call customer support! Been working great so far, but am concerned about never turning it off, not only about the possibe harm that could be done to the unit, but also about having an active, open Internet connection 24/7. Before I got my Airport Extreme I was using Ethernet cable with a cable modem that could be placed on "standby" whenever I was not using my Mac for Internet, but since AE5G doesn't have a power switch on the unit, have left it turned on rather than unplugging it by the electrical cord. I did turn AirPort "off" in the menu bar when not using it wth my Mac, but AE is still apparently constantly active, showing a steady green light. Would there be any harm done by plugging it in only when I want to use Wi-Fi, then unplugging it?
Thanks for the help!

That is a matter of debate, since there are two schools of thought regarding power status on a router.
One school maintains that you can turn the device on and off as needed. Makes sense for some folks. The advantage of this is that it might save a bit of electricity, although the Extreme draws very little power most of the time.
Another school believes that there is a reason why Apple did not even place an "Off" switch on the device. It's designed to run 24/7.
Leaving the Extreme on will place far less stress on the electrical components in the device since they stay in an "idle" state most of the time, drawing very little current. Powering any electrical device up sends a sudden rush of current through the device, which places far more stress on a device than if it is simply left on.
It depends on your priorities. If you want to save electricity, your decision is already made. If you intend to prolong the life of the router, then consider leaving it on, as Apple intended.
A compromise position might be to leave the Extreme on most of the time and power if off for long weekends or vacation periods when you will be away. Remember that the Extreme must establish all new network connections every time that it powers back up....perhaps another reason to simply leave it on.

You do the opposite of how you got them on your phone, you unsync the pics using iTunes.

You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse
