How Can I best ensure data on my E71 does not get ...

My computer had a horrible hard drive meltdown and i had to buy a replacement hard drive.  Outlook and much data is completely irretrievable, but some have been surgically recovered.  
Concern/Fear: I will be reinstalling the Nokia PC Suite CD, then downloading and reinstalling the Updates soon.  My phone (E71) has the latest data I need and want, but I am very concerned that if I synch up with the "reborn" computer, data from the E71 could get wiped out.  Can that happen?  What steps should I take (and in what order) in order to ensure data on my phone does not get overriden (wiped out) when I synchronize for the first time?  Can that even happen?

Thank you.  I will try to:
1) Install original Nokia CD on laptop
2) Download updates from Nokia site
3) Back-up all phone data into SD card or Thumb drive (?)
4) Synch laptop to phone (phone overides laptop)
Am I missing anything?  Thanks again for the prompt response.  Will advise

  • I've moved my Aperture library to another computer, and masters are referencing an old path name.  How can I update these references?  Reloctating masters does not work in this case :(

    I've moved my Aperture library from one computer to another using Finder.
    I merged the library with one which was already on the computer.
    Now, the photos I imported have reference to the old path name on my old computer.
    How can I update these references as "Relocate Masters" does not work in this case?

    Just one suggestion to be able to reconnect all at once:
    Create a smart album containing the images with missing masters:
    File -> New ->  Smart Album,     and add a rule: File Status is "Missing"     (or File Status is "offline")
    Then select the images in this album and go to the File menu:
    and select:   File -> Locate referenced File
    If you are lucky, Aperture will reconnect all at once, if you point the first image version to its counterpart.

    hello, the addons manager is exactly the right place to look for it. please try disabling the addons that are listed there one-by-one (a restart of the browser might be necessary after each step). maybe one of them is bundling this kind of adware.

    You can use the Settings in the slideshow to Show Captions,  either the Description filed be display, the Title field or both.
    If you create the slideshow in iDVD from still photos from iPhoto you can add the Description and/or Title via the settings in iDVD.
    Since iDVD adds both automatically the user must go thru the slideshow and remove those items not wanted.

  • How to ensure for material POs, TDS does not get deducted.

    Dear Seniors,
    Single vendor is supplying material and doing some service also.  How do we ensure that for material POs, TDS does not get deducted.
    Regards
    KVKR

    Hi kkvr,
    As i see your requirement is to execute MRRL alongwith the performing a proper TDS deduction and also using single vendor.
    There is no Standard SAP solution for this, as a workaround you will have two options for doing the same
    Option 1 : Create a different vendor code then you can run mrrl for the vendor code one for service and another for material
    The demerits of this solution is duplication of vendor code, which results in not having proper information for the SCM personnel for the purpose of vendor evaluation and vendor reconcilation
    Option2:
    you need to enahce the Purchase order at line item level with the a custom fields for the WHT tax code to be selected at the time of PO creation. For this you need to do a screen enahcement in PO and also at the time of providing the popup for selection it should only dipslay the wht codes available in the vendor master so that proper control on the tax code selection will happen.
    The practical issues here is the po creation person should have the knowledge of the tds code which you need to see whether it is possible or not or you can also suggest that finance controller should be part of po release startegy to check these po's to ensure the correct tds code populated.
    Further to this you need to also perform additional enahcement changes for the selected tds codes in the po it should be replaced at the time of mrrl transaction making other tds tax codes base as 0 or removal of tds codes not applicable in the exit.
    This exit with the help of the abaper you will be able to find hte standard enhacements available for mrrl and code the same over there so that at the time of posting this will happen.
    Further, to this while writing the logic you can also further stream line it as for material po's the tds not to be deducted at all so that user input for the material po's can be avoided and it is required only for service po's this disticntion you can do with the item category.
    With this you can perform the enahncement with a minimal changement to achieve your purpose.
    Do let me know if you have any quereies,
    Regards,

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • HT1689 how can i undisable my ipod touch when itunes does not want to connect?

    My brother's ipod touch 4th generation was cracked on the screen and was not able to see anything after a while. We finally fixed it and now it says "IPOD DISABLED CONNECT TO ITUNES". We tried connecting it and itunes does not want to connect because it says that the ipod has a passcode and until we unlock it, it will do it. So we our stuck and on top of that, the ipod's power button does not work, so we waited to uncharge the ipod so we can try to connect it again and it still won't do it. We do not know what to do, and we cannot afford to buy a new one. Is there a solutiong for this? Thank You.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

  • I  would like to update or upgrarde my iphone from 4.2  to  5.0 or higher how can I do this task  A.  my phone does not have a "update" setting  I was told to reset all the settings to new B. will this earase all my contact, files ,notes emails  ??? C.

    I want to update or upgrade my iphone 4  to 5.0 or 6 higher how can I do this ?  I my unable to sign into Itunes    I was told to reset all the settings to "factory"  If I reset evevything ,will I loose all my contacts, emails, notes, or any other information that I have saved into my phone  (photos, apps, emails, )  Just as if I had a brand new phone ?    I am not very experience with computers or high tech devices I would have a difficult time uploading on my computer or tranfering data

    Don't reset anything, just connect it to iTunes. If you don't have iTunes on a computer, then find someone who does, turn off auto sync, then connect your iphone and click 'check for updates'. iTunes will download the update, then update that software to your phone. Before you update though, I'd make a backup, just to be on the safe side.

  • I have a new iphone 5C. How can I turn off the passcode. It does not have 'Passcode' in settings - general -. Can anyone help please.

    I have a new iphone 5c.  How can I turn off the passcode. Unlike previous models it does not show Passcode under settings - general !!  Can anyone help?  Susie

    Thank you Chris.  Yes  I did know that but it was not clear how to turn it off.  All the forums visited said it was under general.  I have since found a site called iAnswerGuy which describes how to turn it off step by step. Thank you very much for coming back to me so quickly.  Susie

  • How can I access applications if the wireless mouse does NOT work?

    I have a new iMac (Snow Leopard) which comes with a wireless keyboard and a wireless mouse. Just in case that the wireless mouse does not work, how can I navigate through applications and the screen?
    Any advice will be welcome. Thanks and cheers, Veit

    Great, it works.
    Let me replicate:
    Shift-Command-A (on the Desktop, (but how to get there?) to open Apps, e.g System Preferences;
    Arrow keys to navigate within Apps;
    Command-down arrow to open a specific app;
    Arrows to move around, e.g. to Magic Mouse
    Space to open Magic Mouse;
    Tab to move between options and arrows to change these; and Tab back to the back icon.
    Thanks a lot to both of you, much appreciated your help. Cheers, Veit
