Difference between backup and sync ?
What is the difference between a backup and doing a sync ?
backup is part of the sync procedure. If you uncheck the "Sync contacts to.." box under the phone info, special field names used in the contacts list won't get lost as they will if iTunes tries to stuff your contact fields into some address book on your host computer. Create a contact with a few phone numbers like "Main" and "Support" and "Shipping" as additional phone numbers. Do a SYNC, and check your address book on the host computer. You'll find that data is simply gone for these additional phone number fields.
Apparently if you don't SYNC to an address book, the sync/backup procedure saves the special fields in the backup directory. Maybe it even saves these fields if you backup using the SYNC approach, but this isn't the impression left by 2nd level tech support. Their solution is to get mobile me to keep your contacts list from getting corrupted or losing data.

Is there a difference between backup and sync?
I'm really confused....
Looking at iTunes (on my pc), I see all my apps there, with the amt of space they take up. However, when I look at my latest backup on my iPad, it lists the very same apps (I think!!) but shows "no data" on many of the apps that show up when I look at them on iTunes. What is going on here? I'm trying to back up my iPad to the iCloud and it doesn't back up all my apps. I have 4.7G of space available on my cloud. I've tried several times over the past couple of days. I've done a "soft reboot" on the ipad, turned it on and off, backed it up to my computer, etc and still, when I try to back up to the cloud, only some of my apps are showing. Is it something stupid like I don't have them checked somewhere? Because I've looked in iTunes (on my pc) and on my iPad and all the apps are checked. Thanks for your help. This is driving me nuts. :-/Yes, I have all my apps to sync with iCloud. And according to the backup file size calculator, it's only 300M or so, which is WRONG. I f I add up all the apps (set to "on") it should be well over 300M. It will not, however, exceed the 5G of free cloud space.
I also have an iPhone and use the cloud with it, too, but it has a different AppleID for iCloud. Both my iPad and iPhone use the same appleID for iTunes. I set it up this way to get 5G of could storage for each of my devices. And it looks like it worked (5G available in each iCloud account) except the iPad backup isn't complete, and as I have stated earlier, is nowhere near the 5G limit. -
Difference between backup and timemachine?
Why is it that Bckup can determine which indvidual files have changed in Aperture and timemachine cannot?
I think its totally stupid that if I add one 2 meg photo to time machine, 60 gigs. Yes thats right 60 gigs has to be written to my time machine harddrive.
Why can the ancient apple backup utility work this stuff out and the uber cool 22nd century time machine cannot.
Yes I am frustrated. The most important files to me are my photos. And yet its these files that I have to exclude if I don't want to bog down my network for hours at a time and use up a 500 gig harddrive in just over 3 weeks (based on one week of time machine backups with aperture included)Well, I can't really help you. You have all the relevant information.
FileVault presents new problems for TM because TM will not backup a FV protected account until after the user logs out. If your backup is on a network device then TM has to back up the sparseimage file each time it backs up (at least that appears to be what happens.)
Backing up to networked drives makes the whole backup process much slower, but I don't know if you have alternative solutions available to you.
Personally, I don't and won't use TM. I much prefer a third-party utility with much greater flexibility. My suggestions:
Backup Software Recommendations
My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
5. PsynchX 2.1.1 and RsyncX 2.1 (Freeware)
6. Carbon Copy Cloner (Freeware - 3.0 is a Universal Binary)
7. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
8. Intego Personal Backup (Commercial)
9. Data Backup (Commercial)
The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
2. arRSync
Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility. -
What is the difference between PUSH and FETCH
I am a little confused. I use my iphone for both my personal POP email accounts and my business exchange account. I am trying to save as much battery as I can so I turned off push and set everything to manual...but now when I try and get may mail....it either says "connecting" or "checking for new mail" at the bottom of the screen and nothing happens from there.
What is the best way to setup this situation for the most battery life? I don't need it to automatically download emails just when I open the email accout would be nice.
I also noticed that when I delete an email from my iphone on my exchange account, it also deletes is on my desktop at work...I need to turn this off...is it possible?Hi maxum25,
The difference between push and fetch is that:
When using push, the server sends a signal to the iphone and lets it know that an email is coming its direction. Kind of like receiving a call. The iphone does not need to do anything except receive the email.
When using fetch, the iphone has to wake up every so often and send a request to the server to see if there is any new email waiting for it on the server to download. This takes more time because the iphone sends a request, the server says yes there is some, the iphone says ok give me the new email.
Now the exchange email uses active sync to keep all changes on the exchange server and mobile device in sync. This is automatic and is the nature of exchange and active sync. In order to keep this from happening you would need to talk to your IT dept. and see if they have an imap or pop alternative. Even using imap reflects the changes back to the server.
Hope this helps. -
Whats the difference between list and lov ?
Whats the difference between list and lov ?
i can do the same things with a list what an lov can do .
infact a list is more better. cause the list doesnt hold/show a range of values, and only has the items value iteself.
while the lov can get all the values of items depending on the query.
like
select ename, job, sal from emp
will show all the three items values in lov?Also, if you're looking in the US store, the prices are:
- Airport Express (small, no ac) $99 - Has audio out for speaker connection using Airplay. Can share a USB printer only.
- Airport Extreme (larger, ac) $199 - No audio out, can share a USB printer or hard drive.
- Time Capsules (2TB, 3TB at $299, $399) - have ac wireless and a backup hard drive for Time Machine which the other Airports do not have.

Difference between synchronous and asynchronous
Hi, i´m doing a t01 syncbo... what is the difference between synchronous and asynchronous?
What is better for syncbo t01, and for syncbo s01?
Thanks,Hi
There are two options available:
Synchronus in which the data is exchanged while the mobile is online. The mobile sends the messages to the middleware and gets the response there and then, while it is online.
ASynchronus in which the mobile sends the messages to the middleware and goes offline. The responses are calculated and stored in the outbox. When the mobile again comes online and syncs, it gets the response messages.
The choice depends actually on the type of the syncBO, like if there is an Order being created on the mobile and its approval (which will come from the backend) is needed, most of the time immediately. This SyncBO must be Synchronus.
The other data, to which response is not immediately needed can be made as Syncronus.
The choice has serious performance considerations, So it should be made wisely.
Please ask if you need more information.
Thanks

Looking for new laptop what are the differences between pro and air? Besides size. Does the air preform like the pro?
The NEW macbook Pro and Air are EXTREMELY close in form factor
The newest macbook Pro is essentially a larger macbook Air with Retina display and options for speed in increasing prices up to an independent graphics and quad core processor.
both Air and new Pro now have PCIe SSD and permanent RAM.
The Air is the lightweight portable form factor, fast to boot and shut down, but with longer battery life than any of the macbook pro in 13"
Now the new macbook Pro and macbook Air are extremely close in form factor and nature.
both have 802ac wifi
both have permanent RAM, no superdrive
both are slim profiles and SSD
The only real differences now are (in the most expensive Pros) faster processors and quadcore processors and top end model autonomous graphics.
....and of course the retina display
both are now "very good for travel"
Other than features the form factor of the Air and Pro are VERY close now,....so now its merely a matter of features and price more than anything.
You need an external HD regardless of what you get for backups etc. Drop into an Apple store and handle both and make your choice based on features, such as Retina or non-retina, .... both at a distance now look like the same computer.
The Pro weighs more, ....but nowhere near what it used to just a month ago on the older macbook Pros
The NEW macbook Pro is a different creature entirely than the older macbook Pro, .....the new Pro is thicker than the Air, but id frankly call the NEWEST Pro a "macbook Air with Retina display" , or
Maybe a “macbook Air PRO with Retina display”
Instead of Air VS Pro now,.....its really a smooth transition from Air to pro without comparing say, 2 different creatures, now its like contrasting a horse from a race horse.
Either one in 8gig of RAM (preferably)... the 4gig upgrade costs very little, the I7 you will notice only 15% faster on heavy applications over the I5, and NOTHING on most APPS.....I5 has longer battery life.
As you see below, the non-Retina 13" AIR is 82% of the Macbook with Retina display in resolution
there is no magical number of pixels per inch that automatically equates to Retina quality.
http://www.cultofmac.com/168509/why-you-might-be-disappointed-by-the-resolution- of-those-new-retina-display-macs-feature/
A huge internal SSD isnt a game changer for anything, you need an external HD anyway
what you WONT READ on Apple.com etc. is that the larger SSD are MUCH FASTER due to SSD density
"The 512GB Samsung SSD found in our 13-inch model offers roughly a 400MB/s increase in write speeds over the 128GB SanDisk/Marvell SSD"

What's the difference between photos and albums
I'm trying to figure out what the difference between photos and albums is on my ipad 'photos' programme.
What I'm really trying to do is to delete photos from my phone so that I'm not going over 5GB on my icloud and I don't want to lose them, so I'm checking to see where they are stored on ipad.Hello julian
As far as what iCloud backs up, it is backing up the photos and videos in the Camera Roll. If you want to ensure that your pictures are backed up, then follow the steps in the last article to import them to your computer. One thing to note is that you cannot import your albums that you create. If those photos are not in your camera roll, import the photos to your camera roll.

Hi ALL,
WHAT IS THE EXACT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN exipre and obosolete WITH REFERENCE RMAN.As it was mentioned above, obsolete means that the backup is no longer needed according the retention policy. But the expired means that couldn't be found after CROSSCHECK command executed. See the following example. In this example the retention policy is set to redundancy 1 which means that the backup which have more than one copy, is marked as an obsolete. Then I delete a backup, run CROSSCHECK command and see that the deleted backup marked as EXPIRED

Difference between save and publish on project professional 2013
Dear Barbara
What's difference between save and/or publish tasks from project professional 2013 onto project server 2013 integrated with TFS?
For me its the same, if you exclude the integration with TFS in this scenario, that demands publishing, the tasks will be saved in project server anyway.
Its that right? Thank you.
Adautohi Adauto,
As a project owner when you create project plan from PWA or from Project Professional Once you save it means it will go to draft database and will be available to you in the server but you can not see it onto Project center.
Once you Click on Publish then project get publish and sits in publish database at the same time it will sync reporting database too. Once project get Publish then only all the team member who are associated with project will be able to see the project
in project center including you .
Also Users who are having either same RBS assigned to them or heigher to you will be able to see the project onto the project center.
Also All the resource will get notified and task assignment will be assigned to team members.
This is a same case for Project server with TFS integration and normal project server without TFS integration
Main Usability of Save is :
As a Project owner when you start Project scheduling you take time to finish it so everyday you can save it so that next day you can resume your work but in the middle of the scheduling work you wont want to show the data to your organization until- unless
you give it final touch .Once you complete it then only publish it so that it would be available to team members.

Whats the difference between moto and htc/lg/samsung
10 points for the first person to respond with the correct answer. what is the major difference between motorola and other android makers on verizon
Hey,
As the owner of a Motorola Droid 3, I can speak from experience. One of the main differences between Motorola Android devices and others is the user interface. For example, the HTC android devices use the Sense interface, which allow the user to make custom changes on their device. The Motorola Droid 3, as well as other Motorola devices, uses the standard Google interface, which allows for the user to sync their device easily with their Google account for items such as email, calendar, books, and my favorite, Google Play. I have a lot of music I have bought and the Google cloud service is really neat. Motorola devices also come preloaded with Motocast software, which allows the user to do many things, such as stream music from your home computer to your device. I have not yet used the Motocast software, but it would be really handy, especially if you have a lot of files on your home or work PC and need access to the files from your device.
I hope this answers some of your questions.

What's the difference between tags and albums
I've always used tags, I don't really understand why you would use albums instead of tags.
Say I've got pictures of birds, I would apply the Bird tag.
Where exactly do albums come in?Another thing to keep in mind with the differences between albums and tags.
Both albums and tags are stored in the catalogs.
Tags can be also stored in the picture files themselves; they can be accessed form your OS or other applications. They are still available if the catalog is missing or corrupt. The organizer does only 'write metadata' to files if you specifically issue this command. On the other hand, albums can't be saved in the files themselves. They are kinds of 'playlists' which can only be stored in catalogs. That's why it is important to backup regularly. The standard backup process saves the catalogs as well as the image files; if you use an external backup system, include the catalog folder (found with Menu Help/System information) as well in your backup procedure. -
