Does iTunes delete backups done on the same day?

If I backup my iPhone in the morning, then restore from a backup I did last week, then back the phone up again in the afternoon, will iTunes delete the backup I created in the morning? Will I basically lose everything that happened in the last week?

Yes, iTunes deletes each backup made before. So there is only one (the last you made) backup to go back. If you want to save certain states you had on your phone, you'll have to copy the backup folder to another place on your HD or better external HD.
For more information about backups, including the settings and information stored in
a backup, see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766

Delete photos taken on the same day

Hi.
I have hundreds of photos taken on the same day each. How to delete photos taken on the same day?
Or I would have to ask like this, how to select all photos that were taken on the same day?

In your iPhoto '11 on your Mac?
Search your photos by date:
Select the Photos View, and click the looking glass icon in h search field in the lower left corner.
Select "Date"
Enter the date in the mini calendar that will pop up.
Now select all photos and press the delete key.
On your IOS-device use the "moments" view of the Camera Roll to find the photos taken on the same day.

Why does iTunes play consecutive songs by the same artist so often?

Is there a way to stop or greatly reduce the issue in iTunes of playing consecutive songs by the same artist when playing in "shuffle" mode? There was a slide tool in preferences that allowed you to set that to "less likely" or "more likely" but that appears to be gone from iTunes now, or at least I can't find it. Not that it matters much, the problem was WORSE when they added that "tool" anyway. It was less likely before they added whatever that algorithm was. Now this happens constantly that my iPod plays 2 or 3 consecutive songs by the same artist when I am playing it in shuffle mode. I have over 3500 songs on my iPod but it will usually play only a small percentage of those before starting to repeat also. It seems to "stick" in a small area of the alphabet when in shuffle mode. Meaning, it will play artists whose names begin with say L through R and ONLY those artists, then repeat a bunch of them after playing only 20-30 songs. Everything else seems to be working fine on my iPod but this. I suspect it's the programming in iTunes but of course, I have no way to prove that and Apple being the quasi Communist gov't type that they are, I can get no answers from them on this or most questions I have. Maybe somebody here has encountered one of these issues and can offer some resolution?

I wish Apple would just remove the feature that supposedly addresses this issue. It worked better when there was no setting for this. I'm just tired of being pencil whipped by Big Brother.

Firefox previously worked fine but after installing new version does not open. Opens in the same day that I install it but not after restarting computer.

I just installed the new version of firefox. My firefox worked fine with the previous version. But the new version only works on the day I install it but the next time i start my computer it does not work. It does not open after clicking the icon. I even uninstalled it and then reinstalled it but again the same thing happened. I have no idea about plug ins etc. but I did not install any new ones.

This is a very interesting issue. Let's start with trying [[safe mode]], [[managing profiles|new profile]], and [http://firefox.com/all-older.html installing an older version] - if one of these works, please don't do the rest and reply here.

I too am having the same issue as the OP.

I can't Start, Uninstall or Install new iTunes. I'm getting the same error message: Window Installer Service could not be accessed. No other programs have similar problem. Any suggestion what can be done?

I can't Start, Uninstall of Install new iTunes. I'm getting the same error message: "Window Installer Service could not be accessed". No other programs having similar problem. Any suggestions how to fix it?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) (not for XP) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

HT3965 i have an old phone backup but named the same as current phone. how can I rename the older phone backup?

i have an old phone backup but named the same as current phone. how can I rename the older phone backup?

I'm about to buy a new phone. last time when I had repairs, I have to restore so I can get my numbers, etc on the new phone, and when I do, there are two phones with same name (actually in 4 lines). I restored from the one that came up, but it turned out not to be the most current information. So I'm told I can rename the others (dont' know if deleting can be done) so that I always know which one to choose. When restoring, it does not show the date, so I don't know which one to choose.

I had created two photo albums on my ipad, by transferring photos from my hp laptop. I want to make space available on my ipad by deleting these photos, but the same hp laptop is no more with me. How do I delete these photos?

1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

Is there a way to delete all events with the same title (not added as reoccurring) without deleting one at a time?

i currently have a calendar synced that has events scheduled in perpetuity, scheduled as individual events. I would like to delete all events with the same title. I do not want to delete the entire calendar nor do I want to go into every event and delete individually. These were not scheduled by me so I do not know how they were added one by one and go on forever but they are NOT scheduled as reoccurring and thus must be modified individually.
I can do a search and find all events, is there a way to just delete all events with the same title all at once?
this is a Microsoft outlook synced calendar and I am seemingly unable to delete the events all at one time from Microsoft as well.
Please help!

If you still have access to the Outlook calendar in Outlook, I would delete them from there. There are a number of ways to do that, but if you open the individual event in Outlook, does it show a repeating pattern? If not, then you may have to delete them individually, but that is not that difficult either. Go into the calendar and then change the view to a list view. From there you can sort the view according to subject. This should bring all of these same appointments together in the list and you can select the group in Outlook and delete them. Once you do that, you can change your view back and then sync the phone. That will remove the events from the phone.

Move an iTunes library between users on the same mac

How do I move an iTunes library between users on the same mac?
I accidentally created a secondary user on my mac some time ago when using the migration tool and am now going back and transferring all my files from the secondary to the admin user profile.
I wanted to know which itunes files/folders need to be copied over.
Is the process as simple as replacing the itunes folder on admin with the copied itunes folder from my secondary profile or do I need to delete the admin folder first and then copy the old folder over or do I delete the contents of the folder and replace with the copied contents?
I am using shared folders to move between users, but want to make sure that I am picking the right files to transfer.
Thanks in advance.

Assuming you have left iTunes to default settings so everything is still in the iTunes folder the way iTunes likes it to be, copy the whole of the iTunes folder to the new location. If it is in the default directory (Home > Music) for iTunes the application will automatically use it there for the new account. If you put it elsewhere you will have to start iTunes and immediately hold down the option key to direct it to the new location.
It is just possible you will have to change permissions. If you encounter those issues read the part about changing permissions on the iTunes folder in: https://discussions.apple.com/message/11583914

How to delete multiple assignments sharing the same application_id

Hi,
I encountered an issue where an employee is having two active assignments.
Both assignment_id share the same application_id. User might have created additional application accidentally.
Upon hired, one of the assignment_id changed status to 'active assignment' and the other one is still 'Accepted/New hire' status.
Therefore this has caused the employee to have 'employee.applicant' status.
The assignment can be deleted if the employee is cancel hired and status is 'applicant'. But the record has been created last year and has several assignments since then.
I'm looking for a way to delete the assignment without changing the employee status from 'employee' to 'applicant'.
How can i delete the 'Accepted/New hire' assignment and change the employee status to 'Employee.ex-applicant'?
Thanks in advance.

This doesn't quite work as it displays all of the tracks that have been duplicated, including the originals, meaning I would delete all of the copies and no longer have those songs, or still have to go in manually for everything.
I also tried displaying the date added for everything, hoping iTunes had made the copies on different days, but everything was added and copied on the same day, so I wasn't able to differentiate the files that way, either.
HELP!
