Deleting in Lion OS - How to pick up where I left off?

Not sure if many of you are familiar with this.
In Snow Leopard, say if you are browsing a large selection of files or images, and as your hit the "down" arrow key, you come across a file you want to delete. You then cmd-del and it's gone, the next file is then highlighted, and u can continue hitting the arrow key to continue browsing from where you left off.
In Lion, I noticed once I delete a file, it doesn't select the next file, so when I hit the "down" arrow, it starts right from the top!!!
It's actually quite annoying...anyone know if there's a solution or alternative approach?

Anyone? Someone? No One? =(

How to play podcasts in order, and how to pick up where I left off?

I have several music podcasts I listen to. I made Smart playlists for each, so the podcasts show up in Playlists. Two questions: How do I play them in order? And, after I pause after listening to one, how do I continue listening when I wish? With the previous generation (the one with video capabilities), I could highlight the Smart playlist in Playlists and click the "play" button...all podcasts would play in order. If I switched away from the podcast and listened to the radio or even a different podcast, my Nano would remember where I left off. I love the new Nano and its tiny size, but the podcast thing is driving me batty. Thank you for your help.

Okay, I'm a dork. I accidentally swiped my volume screen this morning, and discovered the answers to all of my questions.

If I'm reading a book on the iPhone and I want to pick up where I left off on my iPad, do I have to search for what page I was on on the iPad or is there a way to sync it?

If I'm reading a book on the iPhone and I want to pick up where I left off on my iPad, do I have to search for what page I was on on the iPad or is there a way to sync it? Or do I just have to search for a string of text from my iPhone on my iPad?

On both devices go to Settings>iBooks>Sync Bookmarks>On. Then when you want to quit reading on one device, tap the bookmark in the upper right corner and it will turn red. That marks your place. Close the book on the device now by tapping on the Library button in the upper left corner of the app. That will put the closed book back on the shelf. Tap the home button.
On the other device, when you tap on the book, it should open to that page. You have to be connected to WiFi in order for this to work. You can read this older discussion for more information. I was involved in that as well.

Is it possible to have an audio book being read from an ipod nano - 6th generation - to pick up where it left off?

I just downloaded "Audible" so that I could listen to audio books on my 6th generation nano. When I shut off the ipod in the middle of a chapter and turn it back on, the book picks up at the start of the chapter. Is there a way to pick up where I left off?

They should automatically pick up right where you left off. I'm not sure what you mean that you just downloaded Audible.
Sync the audiobooks to the iPod and listen to them there by tapping the audiobooks icon on your Nano

Why Won't My Podcast Pick Up Where It Left Off Downloading Like Others?

All the podcasts I subscribe to will pick up where it left off before it was cut off. That is, if I got to 30 MB out of 50 MB when an error occured, most podcasts pick up again at 30 MB isntead of starting back at 1 MB. Mine just get near the end and then start all over again after an error occurs.
What's wrong?

Hi Dalton,
Did you ever find a solution for this? I'm trying to download a 600mb video pocast from iTunes U and my internet connection is pretty shabby and drops out constantly, I get about 30mb in 5 minutes, then it drops out for 10 seconds or so and STUPID iTunes re-starts it from scratch...
This is extremely annoying, thank God I didn't ever try to purchase a movie from iTunes, I would never be able to fully download it!

Audio Books, how do I mark where I left off? in MuVo S

Hi,
I just got a Creative MuVo Slim and have downloaded a .wma audio book for listening.
I just listened to 2 chapters and would like to bookmark where I've left off, so I don't have to relisten to them again. I can't find out which buttons to push to do this.
Does anyone know?
Thanks, Marilyn in Maine

Yes I did try shutting it off then on again, but had to listed to the first hour 3 different times (Grr, I can recite it backwards & forwards if you like).
I finally figured out that if I hit the PAUSE/PLAY button, then let it shut off automatically, it picks up where I left off previously. But this means I have to listen to the book and not switch to music if I want or the radio.
I guess Creative needs to look at adding another option to their design/software so that bookmarks can be placed.
Thanks, Marilyn

Pick up where you left off with iMessage on handoff

Okay so you know how with Mail you can start an email and then finish it on a Mac with handoff, well I was wondering if anyone knows how to (if it's possible) to do the same thing with iMessage. Atm I can start a text on my iPhone and it pops up in bottom left corner of my mac dock but there is no text in the message bar to "continue" from, so basically it doesn't allow continuity for this app.
Help

I'm having this exact issue. I don't get why handoff is so buggy.

Power of Java to pick up where it left off

I am trying to develop a java application where if at some point a trigger is made, the JVM is stopped, and somehow saved somewhere / somehow and sent to another computer where this new pc will then carry on. Firstly is this possible?
It would be okay for there to be a slight delay and at the moment i am thinking about serializing the objects to the other system but i dont know if that would work. Any ideas?

Indeed it is but as a (possible) final year university
project unfortunately it has to be. It may be too ambitious for that.
The serialization point was merly my first thought but
after looking at the messages on this forum
possibilites of javaspaces, RMI and maybee even a
CORBA implementation have jumped out as being
technologies to help me. I have unfortunately not much
experiance with any of these and so any explanation of
either / any of them would be great.
Thanks.javaspaces - possibly, but I'm not so sure.
RMI - yes, this could help.
CORBA - CORBA technology is not specific to Java. RMI uses CORBA. You shouldn't have to think about CORBA (until you get vague CORBA exceptions)
The transferral of the data is the easy part. I think what's going to make this difficult is trying to Serialize an entire application. The only things that get serialized are non-static members of classes. If you Serialize a non-Serializable class, there are is no guarantee it will work. That means for this to work the way you are proposing, you cannot have any static varaibles and you cannot have any classes that are not Serializable in the application. These are very heavy constraints. It's going to be difficult to write a useful Java app that doesn't use static variables. And if you do, your process will only work with such applications. In addition, there are many classes in the SDK that aren't Serializable, so you can't use any of those either. Last of all, if for any reason the available classes on one JVM don't match up exactly with the available classes on another, the whole process will blow up in your face.

HT5544 Can iBooks remember my page between devices? Can I pick up where I left off on my iPad with my iPhone?

With Kindle and the Kindle app, if I change devices I am asked if I want to resume reading where I left off on <device> at <date and time>. I was trying to continue reading on my phone where I left off on my iPad. I have been unable to do this. Is it possible? I will decide which service to use for my next book purchase (the cost is the same on both Kindle and iBooks).

You should be able do it with iBooks - go into Settings > iBooks on both devices and set Sync Bookmarks 'on'

How do I make Mac remember where I left off a TV Show on my Apple TV?

I have Lion OS and iOS5 on my iDevices. Still when I watch a TV show from my Apple TV, and then resume on my Mac, the Mac doesn't know where I left off the TV show. Nor does Mac mark a TV show as watched if I have already seen it on Apple TV.
Is there a way to remember where I left off in a TV show across devices?

I'd think ..... it will by default remember the playback poition on my Mac anyway. Or am I missing something?
That's not generally what happens when you open most other documents, by default you are taken back to the begriming or first page, obviously it's something you might want to do with a movie so iTunes includes this option (although yes it's set by default). many other movie applications don't remember where you left off.
>>> OK, but just to be sure, Apple is not really leveraging iCloud in this case, which is unfortunate (See more below).
Second, does it mean that if I download the TV Show on iPad, it will remember the position there as well? Or will it start from the beginning only?
If you stream the movie from the iTunes Library on your mac to your iPad it will remember the position,
>> How does one "stream" a movie from Mac to iPad? Streaming is only done to an Apple TV as far as I know
but if you play it from a file on the iPad (i.e. downloaded or synced) then it's essentially another file on another device and that device will have no idea where you left off in another file on your mac.
>> Ok for the downloaded case. But in the case of synced, actually it does remember where I left off, doesn't it?
>> What I am a bit baffled by is why Apple couldn't sync media playback position via iCloud. So, I watch a TV show on my Mac (or Apple TV), and it just syncs playback position periodically to iCloud and then to all devices, so that I can pick up on any device. Say I am leaving the house and now want to switch to iPad from Apple TV, iPad will remember where I left off.
Re: How do I make Mac remember where I left off a TV Show on my Apple TV?

I have a 2009 A6 with a 5th Gen. iPod. I mostly listen to audio bks, not a lot of music. Often, the MMI starts on the first song on my iPod, therefore I don't know where I stopped in my 4-6 hr book. How can I get MMI to start where I left off?

I have a 2009 A6 with a 5th Gen. iPod pluggedinto the MMI. I mostly listen to audio books, not a lot ofmusic. The books are 4-6 hours long, vs 4-6minutes with a song. Often, but not always, when I start my A6, the MMI starts on the first song on my iPod, thereforeI don't know where I stopped in my 4-6 hour book. How can I get the interface to stay stopped where I left off? I have gone into iTunes and placed my current book as the first "song" on my iPod for ease of finding it, but often the MMI starts it over at the beginning. Thank you if anyone has any experience with this. My dealer in San Rafael, CA says they've never heard of this issue.

I think my iPod, which is an iPod touch 3rd generation , which is a lot different from a nano, which really makes it almost impossible for me to help you, which is why I suggested that you post your question in the iPod nano community. Your first post says that your product is an iPod nano. I think the people who answer those questions would be most likely to help you. If yours isn't a nano then you can pick the right community from here. This community is really to answer questions about this forum, or issues that don't fit anywhere else.

How can I bookmark, in iTunes, so that the songs I play and then stop in middle of song then come back later - it will start where I left off. What is the switch in iTunes to make this happen? Thank You

In iTunes I would like to set it to bookmark where I am holding in a song on my iPOD. Let's say I want to play a song that I listen to yesterday and stopped playing it in the middle on my iPOD. Today, I want to listen, on my iPOD, to the same song and have it start playing where I left off yesterday.
Can someone please tell me what I have to do in iTUNES to have this feature on my iPOD?
Thank You
Dovid

iTunes does not have provision for automatically storing one kind of media on a separate drive, so you have some basic decisions to make first. Do you want these movies to still appear in your iTunes library, or are you content with browsing filenames on a drive in Finder when you want to look for one? The second's the easiest thing because then you don't have to have an external drive permanently turned on and attached to your computer (wired or wireless). To do that you literelly only need to drag your movies folder to an archive drive and delete movies from iTunes. To watch them again you can add it back to iTunes while holding down the option key so the movie is used from its location on the external drive.
There's ways to move the movies to an external drive while keeping them in iTunes but the external drive iwll always have to be turned on and connected to the computer or you will see a bunch of broken link exclamation marks.
Realize what you are talking about is not "backup". Backup (which you should do) is putting a second or more copy of items on external drives for the day when your internal drive fails and everything on it is lost, inclduing all your home photos and perhaps things that have been pulled from the iTunes Store and can no longer be re-downloaded.

How can I make Adobe Reader Touch remember where I left off?

When I have closed a PDF, how can I make Adobe Reader Touch remember where I left off?

Hi,
Assuming that you have Reader 9.3.4 already installed on your machine, you can try the following to make Reader 9.3.4 as the default PDF opening application:
1. Right click on any PDF on your system and click on the "Open With" Option in the context menu that appears. In case you get another submenu, click on Chose Program in that menu. (In case you do not see any "Open With" option, then hold down the Shift key and right click on the file)
2. Click on Browse button in the dialog that appears, and select Reader 9. Make sure that you select the checkbox for "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file"
3. Click on OK.
This will make Adobe Reader 9 as the default viewer for all PDFs on your system.

HT1689 How do I return to where I left off in my contact list when texting multiple people on 5S?

How do I return to where I left off in my contact list when texting multiple people on 5S?

If you 6 menu buttons are pointing to Tracks then select the Track and in the property inpector you can set the Menu Remote Control options. Set Menu to the button on the menu you want to jump to.
You can set this option individually for chapters in a Track also so,

Mountain lion download doesn't resume from where it left after an error occur

I'm trying to download mountain lion but the download doesn't resume from where it stopped when I encounter a drop in my Internet connection/get disconnected. Also I face that after this sequence of events: Internet error occur > surprisingly download resume from where it left > pause the download > resume the download after a few hours. My questions are: how can I solve this issue ? Does the downloaded file/app get corrupted when the download encounters an error which is actually making it restart the whole download? It's really frustrating, I've been downloading for the last couple of days and the downloads restarts even after downloading over one gigabyte. P.s: my Mac meets with the hardware and software requirements for downloading mountain lion.

Does the downloaded file/app get corrupted
A slow internet connection for huge files like Mountain LIon (4.34 GB), can time out before the file is completely downloaded.
Try this... from the App Store menu bar top of your screen click Store > Check for Unfinished Downloads.
Something to keep in mind if you need to repair the startup disk or reinstall OS X.
"Reinstalling OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion via OS X Recovery requires broadband access to the Internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection. OS X is downloaded over the Internet from Apple when OS X Recovery is used for reinstallation."
From here > OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery
So if it's possible, contact your ISP to see if you can upgrade to a faster connection.
