How can I be sure that when I update my iPhone 3gS, it won't erase all my information on my phone?
My dad had an iPhone 3gs and recently he went to update it and the update wiped out everything on his iphone. Ever since that happened, I've been afraid to update my phone. I have 1,050 pictures that I can't import into the computer because i have "foreign images" on my camera roll, and I really don't want to lose all my contacts and such. I haven't updated the phone since March 2010, so it's been a while. Please help if possible!
Don't feel like the Lone Ranger here -- the last two IOS updates (4.3.3 and 4.3.4) have hung up midway, leaving me having to restore everything from backups. It's annoying, but not overly dangerous -- just remember to sync, backup and all of that regularly.
Yeah, I notice 4.3.5 is out -- think I'll hold off on that one. Taking a couple of hours to go through the process of "install, restore, etc." is a real drag.

Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Check USB connections
Related errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response,” and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use another USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.

my partner and i have the same models of Iphone. how can we make sure that when she logs on to our home network, it recognises her phone and doesn't down load to my phone?
Did you try to rename one of them? iTunes: How to rename your device
iTunes remembers the settings for each phone when you sync, even if both phones are called "My iPhone".
So make sure to set it up like you want to, after that iTunes will do the rest. -
I have changed the email signature on my iPhone, when composing a new email the signature is there, however when I am replying to an email it is not, how can I make sure that the signature is at the end of every email I send?
Yes I know what you mean about it cluttering the thread and for personal emails it is better without the signature. However this relates to sending business emails from an iPhone so I need the signature present on every email.
I can't find anything in Settings so I was hoping someone may have some knowledge/information/experience regarding this problem. -
CS4 extended, OS10.7.5 . When I process an image in Capture One Pro and then open it in Photoshop CS4 extended and compare to my original image in Capture I can see a big difference . ( Darker in C1 and flat in CS4) I contacted Phase One and they said that the problem was probably due to photoshop who do not recognise my Color Munki Display icc profile . How can I be sure that photoshop use my Display icc Color Munki Profile? Thanks !!!
Hello Station_two,
Thanks for you response.
Yes . that's what I did as I created an icc profile with Color Munki .
My problem is when you look at the left image ( Capture One ) and the same images processed and open in Photoshop ( Right image ) I can see a big contrast difference ...
Now, let's assume that photoshop work automatically with my icc Color Munki in display panel , why the image in Capture One do not look the same ? Is it a question of setup in C1 ? In c1 ICC /Process recipe I have Adobe rgb (1998) selected....
Thanks! -
How can I make sure that in RAM our sql server is not facing any mermory crunch issue?
The SQL server process always show RAM is highly used while its a default behaviour of sql server.

The best way to make sure you are not facing memory pressure is to use perfmon counters and monitor various memory counters
For SQL Server 2005 - 2008 r2 use below counters
SQLServer:Buffer Manager--Buffer Cache hit ratio(BCHR): IIf your BCHR is high 90 to 100 Then it points to fact that You don't have memory pressure. Keep in mind that suppose somebody runs a query which request large amount of pages in that
case momentarily BCHR might come down to 60 or 70 may be less but that does not means it is a memory pressure it means your query requires large memory and will take it. After that query completes you will see BCHR risiing again
SQLServer:Buffer Manager--Page Life Expectancy(PLE): PLE shows for how long page remain in buffer pool. The longer it stays the better it is. Its common misconception to take 300 as a baseline for PLE. But it is not,I read it from
Jonathan Kehayias book( troubleshooting SQL Server) that this value was baseline when SQL Server was of 2000 version and max RAM one could see was from 4-6 G. Now with 200G or RAM coming into picture this value is not correct. He also gave the formula( tentative)
how to calculate it. Take the base counter value of 300 presented by most resources, and then determine a multiple of this value based on the configured buffer cache size, which is the 'max server memory' sp_ configure option in SQL Server, divided by 4 GB.
So, for a server with 32 GB allocated to the buffer pool, the PLE value should be at least (32/4)*300 = 2400. So far this has done good to me so I would recommend you to use it.
SQLServer:Buffer Manager--CheckpointPages/sec: Checkpoint pages /sec counter is important to know about memory pressure because if buffer cache is low then lots of new pages needs to be brought into and flushed out from buffer pool,
due to load checkpoint's work will increase and will start flushing out dirty pages very frequently. If this counter is high then your SQL Server buffer pool is not able to cope up with requests coming and we need to increase it by increasing buffer pool memory
or by increasing physical RAM and then making adequate changes in Buffer pool size. Technically this value should be low if you are looking at line graph in perfmon this value should always touch base for stable system.
SQLServer:Buffer Manager--Freepages: This value should not be less you always want to see high value for it.
SQLServer:Memory Manager--Memory Grants Pending: If you see
memory grants pending in buffer pool your server is facing SQL Server memory crunch and increasing memory would be a good idea. For memory grants please read this article:
SQLServer:memory Manager--Target Server Memory: This is amount of memory SQL Server is trying to acquire.
SQLServer:memory Manager--Total Server memory This is current memory SQL Server has acquired.
8. Free List Stalls/sec – Number of requests per second that had to wait for a free page
9. Free Pages – Total number of pages on all free lists (free lists track all of the pages in the buffer pool that are not currently allocate to a data page, and are therefore available for usage immediately)
NOTE: If you have NUMA system don't use PLE to monitor memory condition it wont give correct value
From 2012 Onwards
Memory management has become easy from 2012 onwards as
Max server memory also allocated memory for requests which require memory >8KB
SQLServer:Memory Manager:Free Memory (KB)
SQLServer:Memory Manager:Target Server Memory (KB)
SQLServer:Memory Manager:Total Server Memory (KB)
For NUMA system its also wort monitoring each node.
Object - SQLServer:Memory Node:Total Node Memory
(KB)
Object - SQLServer:Memory Node:Target Node Memory
(KB)
Object - SQLServer:Memory Node:Free Node Memory
(KB)
Ideally if target server memory is less than or equal to total server memory there wont be memory pressure if target is > total it does not always means its memory pressure
BCHR would also give you good idea about memory pressure
If memory grants pending is frequently non zero there is memory pressure

I purchased three albums last week and only two of them were charged. How can I make sure that the third album gets charged in a timely fashion?
Well, thanks for feeling with me, patkosanke ... AND for your wise advice.
I did followed your advice immediately and erased all the service number as well as S/Ns.
Can you, however, give me any "direct number" through which I can get hold of someone and request for what you're suggesting?
I believe I had talked with the person by the name of "Charlie" (I think... I hope I'm correct...) when I was having the same problem with the last device. He was very kind and helpful, though I ended up getting the device that brought the same problem.
Charlie told me that if I had any more problems I should call him. But I forgot to take down his direct number.
Or maybe I should call the main office and ask for him. But my memory is questionable as to his name, and besides I don't even know his last name either. There could be more than one "Charlies" in Palm.
So, if you could somehow email me some direct number (other than the one that keeps on hooking me up with those people in the overseas who are answering the phone only to sympathize with & apologize to me but can only issue a false hope with the SRO#. More than once I was given the promise that the supervisor would call me back within an hour or two but I ended up calling back after I had been left hanging in the air all night long.) where I can talk to someone like I did with Charlie last time who can truly carry out the promise, I would truly appreciate it, patkosanke. ^^
Thanks

I redirected iTunes to an external drive and moved my iTunes library and folder, but my hard drive is still low on space. How can I be sure that my music is all on the external HD ONLY, especially with the new iCloud technology? It doesn't look like I created any more space by doing this, AND I totally lost all my iTunes playlists. I'm not sure if because I added old library materials manually if this messed up my playlists, or if the new location is just not reading my moved library. In any case, I followed step by step instructions and found a few holes and thought I'd just "figure it out" but I guess I'm not as smart as I thought since I'm still scratching my head many hours later.
Thanks for any support ;-)
EaglerockerQuick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder.
If this is to a new computer and you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

Look in whatever software on your computer handles your contacts and photos. Neither will be part of the backup file. This may be of help:

if you try to install an app that depends on adobe air, you should be prompted to download and install adobe air (unless it's already installed).
you can download and install directly so you're not prompted by that app, Adobe - Adobe AIR -

Unfortunately... Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
See Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
However... Once you have Recovered your Device...
Re-Sync your Content or Restore from the most recent Backup...

Is it possible to use Transaction Notification adding

SAI SrlHi David,
A correct answer, but not hit my mark.
Several our customer are medium company with more that 40 clients working. Frequently employee are chenged and new entries with no experience in SBO start to work.
The problem is that sometimes a client, also with experience, expecially if he is in a hurry to do sthg., do not read a little message from SBO. This message warn him that
for .... f.e. insufficent memory ... or timeout .... or other reason .... , an AddOns do not start and a little window appear where he can choose to "Continue without this AddOn" and
he reply with Yes.
Another process that I have to check is the new user creation. How can I sure that my customer IT Manager cusomuze the new user correclty and not forgot to set "Automatic"
the startup of this AddOn?
I thing that some Transaction Notification code rows can preserve me from my trouble.
Do you agree with me?
Just refer your consideration about contraindication .... performance, certificability, functionality, etc ... -

If I am playing a song from my phone on speakers, how can I make sure that there are no interruptions like calls or notifications? My students are performing and it would be terrible if there was to be an interruption.
You could turn on Do Not Disturb. This would block all notifications and incoming calls.
Or just turn you're phone's Airplane Mode on if you're not streaming the music
