Do you lose app content on your ipad2 when updating to ios5
I know you can do a back up and restore but is all the content within your apps there? i.e. Pages, bento
Absolutely everything was retained, in the right order and keeping all my contacts, game progress, folders intact. However, it's a counterintuitive process. At first, I thought I had lost everything. After the alleged update was over, I kept trying to launch my apps, and they just blinked, and wouldn't launch. I was in a panic. I hunted around for info online, and found you had you had to reboot your iPad, then Sync it manually on iTunes by clicking "Apply" in the Apps area. All my Apps suddenly appeared on the iTunes screen, in correct order, and started to load very very slowly onto the iPad. This took about an hour to finish. The entire upgrade process was around 8 hours .
I had used around 60 GB of my 64 GB iPad2 (I also have a 32GB iPad1), so even before I Sync'ed it, I had seen on iTunes that the space was taken up. But they only appeared when I Sync'ed it, so don't panic. THEY ARE STILL THERE unless something catastrophic happened.
Even then, you can restart the process again, and install your apps from a backup by doing a Restore (make sure you do have a backup before you start that, although the iOS5 process does so, by default). Always save a copy of your iTunes backup, in an external hard drive or at the very least, in a different folder on your comp.
Good luck!
P.S.: I wish I could copy-paste my reply to every thread, because EVERY iPad or iDevice owner, has this exact fear. Apple has done a very poor job of informing its users this go around.

Did anyone else lose APPS that they paid for when upgrading to iOS5?
Did anyone else lose APPS that they had paid for when upgrading to iOS5 on their iPhone 3G?
I heard that the ipad2 hd apps will not move over to the iphone 4 or 4s...they are different builds that will only work for ipad...that really *****...
you would need to buy and pay for the apps again if you want them on the iphone...
can someone verify this for sure?
from now on i will only buy apps that have the + on it meaning they can be used on ipad and iphone... -
So I spent 2 hours writing a huge post about how I love what Apple has done with the Audio/MIDI/Sound config tools in OSX.
I spent alot of time trying to be positive. And i get to the end and click "Post" - this stops me and gives me the following vague message:
"You have included content in your post that is not permitted."
I am not sure what this means or why it appeared. I used no negative content in my post, no cursing or trolling or anything... And i wouldn't try to troll or flame on these forums anyways. I've posted some problems I've had, which were all addressed very quickly by the way. And I've always said what I thought, but never just posted things to be negative.
And then after my post is rejected, i tried again. The discussion forums offered to restore my previous draft, but I clicked yes and nothing happened. Then the entire Discussions site pretty much stopped functioning... I tried closing reopening Chrome. I tried a completely new session in Chrome Incognito. I tried using Safari. None worked.
I was then offered a survey to take. I clicked "yes", and nothing happened. Then I looked at the Javascript Link for the survey and used the Chrome console to send the javascript anyways. And then it said the survey was behind my browser (it wasn't) and there was an "X" button to close the yellow notification at the top of the page. Then restarted my computer and it's finally working, but my post is still being rejected, which is ridiculous.
Anyways, went through alot to say something positive. That is the exact thing that gets to me though, it's the censorship. Why am I not allowed to say something good? Hopefully this one goes through...I don't believe I'm circumventing any DRM/Copyright. I'm currently enrolled in a Harvard eDx Copyright Law class. As long as you are original and offer a minimum of creativity, you are eligable for a copyright, without any need for registration. But that's besides the point. I can see how it may have flagged the post though.
Ultimately, what I was trying to do at the time is play music using software that I own and stream this in online video. But the comment about streaming my personal music online is just an example of something awesome I can do with an Apple product.
Thanks for the link to the feedback page though. I'll go ahead and send it in. -
You have included content in your post that is not permitted.
I posted a question in the discussion and replied the response "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." I re-read my post. There was no swear word, no questions about doing anything illegal or violation any TOS, and no link that could cause a problem. So I started editing my post and I found the guilty word: "Streaming" and "Live" together (let's see if it goes through in this post).
My suggestion is, instead of giving a broad statement, to actually list the words that are not permitted. This will save us time trying to figure out what offended the automated censor.EricDu wrote:
So, once again, legit users are punished for the behavior of a few bad apples (no pun intended).
Yep. That's the way of the world.
I still think the filters could be more friendly. Taking, for example, the user's posting history into account.
I would agree, but Jive, the software that these forums run on, may not allow that sort of flexibility. Or Apple Legal may not allow that sort of flexibility.

If you mean you are having trouble activating your iPhone after
updating to iOS 6:
iOS 6.0.1
Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
My phone is from USA and unlocked version and I paid 750 USD.
Where did you acquire this iPhone?
USA
What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
I used BSNL - India previously. After I get problem, I used Mobily -Saudi Arabia again I got problem and I am trying to use Airtel - India.
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does It mean?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?
Airtel 13.0It would be better for troubleshhoting if you posted back to your original question.... here

Why does apple allow apps in the App Store hijack your Internet when certain websites? Why doesn't apple remove their products from the App Store?.
Apple saw it as their responsibility since the redirection took me to the App Store. They assisted me in stopping the redirection which is occurring on many peoples iPhones. It's a have java script problem that adking is using to get you to buy their games. The websites work normal and then all of the sudden the website is taken over by adking.com. You can no longer use the website as it immediately takes you to the App Store without ever showing a popup to cancel the redirection. They were very helpful fixing the problem should others experiencing this specifically with adking.com.
No need to get defensive. I'm not the only one experiencing the problem Apple said. -

How do you see the contents of your "Domain" file?
Thanks to this forum I have found out that the photo files on my Web site are stored in the Domain file under Application Support. How do you see the contents of this file? When I double-click on it, iWeb launches and I see the actual Web site.
12" PowerBook Mac OS X (10.4.8) G4 1.5 GHz, 768 MB RAMi don't think it will work. because when you open up the domain file after you changed the size of the pictures, iWeb will probably save again while uploading - so the changes were for nothing. yet i haven't tried it.
other way is to change them after you published. using graphic converter you just drag all at once in and change all the sizes at once.

Any ideas creating app to read log file when updated?
Afternoon all,
I have been asked to write a java app which will read the contents of the server log file every time the log file is updated by the server. The app will be deployed onto WebSphere Application Server.
Can anyone point me in the right direction as I have never written anything like this before and I don't know where to start. Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

I agree with most of what you've said but unfortunately I don't have a say in what the company wants. However, I am interested in the appender idea, perhaps they may go for that if I suggest it.I'd say it'll take you a day to read up about Log4J and how to write basic appenders, and another day to write your own appender for this problem. Compare that to the effort of writing something to poll a log file, re-read it constantly and update another file, operations which will get slower and slower as they go along. That's a fair amount more code than a single appender would be. There's how to sell it to your company.
Can you give me a brief overview in how it works?Log4J uses objects called appenders, which take logging info - generated by your container - and do something with it. It ships with some appenders already in it, for writing to stdout, files, sockets and databases. You can also write your own appenders that do something more than these standard ones do. You write logging code in your application - in this case, your container already does this so you don't have to - and the configuration of Log4J decides what happens to these logging messages. That's what you're interested in. You could write an appender - a simple class - that takes raw logging messages in, and writes them out to file in whatever format you want
Come to think of it, depending on how complex the required XML is, you may even be able to do this without writing any code at all. You can write formatting patterns in the Log4J config that existing file appenders will use to write your XML files
A bit of an abstract explanation, I guess. Your best bet is to first ascertain that Log4J is indeed in use, and then read the documentation, which is surprisingly good for an Apache project :-)

My ipad2 needs updated to ios5
How do I update my ipad2 to ios5?

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
