How can I update the music on my classic without replacing existing music?
So I've been at this for a while now and I'm very afraid to sync my classic worrying that I will replace some existing music. I haven't synced my ipod with my new computer yet and am worried it will replace music that's been on my ipod since I got it. I know, I know I should have a back up of my music but alas I don't have everything. There are some really great albums that I don't have backup of and I can't seem to retrieve it off my ipod as it is. Any suggestions? I just want to add new music that I have to my ipod without deleting old music.
Please Help!
Thanks a bunch
1: Make sure itunes on your new computer is set to prevent ipods from syncing automatically when ipod is connected. Do this by going to edit/preferences/devices.
2: Connect ipod. Under summary set it to manually manage music.
3: Now to add music without erasing what's already on your ipod, highlight whatever songs or albums you want to add from the itunes library and drag them to the ipod showing in the left pane under devices.
Hold the control key down while selecting music to highlight as much music as you want, them drag the the whole kaboodle to the left. Only the highlighted music will then sync all at once and nothing else will be deleted.
I think this should be the default setup when installing itunes. It would save a lot of people the headache of losing all their music when first connecting their ipod to itunes.
Let us know if this is what you were looking for.

I can't use the computer I would normally use since the monitor is broken.. how can I update my phone for the latest version iOS 5 without losing my music?
Borrow a monitor from a friend or neighbor. If you update it on a machine other than the one you normally sync with, the music will be lost until you can set it back up to sync with the original iTunes library (or a new library that contains your music).

I had to erase my hard drive and reinstall ox snow leopard. when i try to sync my Iphone or Ipad it says that my device was synced with another computer and I will loose my songs on the Iphone or ipad and it will be replaced by the library that is on my computer now. The library is empty since I had to erase the hard drive. Can anyone help?
1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone/iPad but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone/iPad with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
also, there are PhoneView and iRip. -

When the text in a slide has been changed, how can you update the thumbnail in the slide panel to reflect this change?
We translated slides, but the slides in the slide panel are still in English.
Thanks for your help.the slides should update automatically as you type
are you using a theme you created yourself, or one you have added for this show?
when you play the show, does the slides show correctly? If they are OK you could still show the presentation.

Hi,

"Wakeup for a polling cycle " and " Wakeupby inbox drop" and "Wakeup by SCF change"
Thanks
Balaji KYou'll probably have to call CSS on this one as this not normal by any means. The messages you noted above are completely normal but if that's all you are seeing then there's an issue.
Have you reviewed wcm.log and wsusctrl.log?

How can I update the firmware all at once
I'm a tech support in a school, approximately our school has over 500 laptops, how can I update the firmware on all laptops at once?
Apple Configurator is the software you want - and it's free from Apple. However, I'm dubious that firmware can be updated all at once.

When i try to update the software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?
The later iOSs requires at least OSX 10.5.8 for the Mac. You need iTunes 10.5 but 10.4.11 only goes to 9.x.. 10.5.8 is a paid upgrade.
Are you sure that you have a 3G iPod? If it is 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G and those can only go to 4.2.1 (also requires 10.5.8 or later). A 32 GB can be either 2G or 3G. To identify yours:

How can i update the itunes in my external hard drive?
When i try to update the itunes on my external hard drive, it creates a new application in my computers hard drive. How can i update the one on my external hard drive?
there's no advantage to having the application on your external drive, you should leave it in your applications folder on your internal drive. if you insist on changing the app's location, you'll always have to then copy the app by hand to the external drive

How can I update the project varibles in OBPM 10.3
Hi All,
OBPM version : 10.3.2 (weblogic Enterprise version)
How can I update the project variables from the External process?
I per my knowledge we use termination wait activity and notify the same from the external process. I am successfully do this but I am facing the performance issue with this and sometimes even data sources pool is getting exhausted.
Could you please tell me is there any other way to update the project variables?
Thanks in advance.
Narasimha
Edited by: Narasimha on Mar 2, 2011 4:19 AMI do not disagree with Mark about using Message Waits to update project variables. I'm right in the middle of logic right now that is doing just that.
If you have thousands (or in your case millions) of instances to update all at once, you might want to also want to consider another approach. I obviously do not know your process and sure you've thought of this, but you could use a database to store this same information that you are currently using project variables for. You'd need a table that has the instance's unique id (e.g. case id, loan number, claim number) as the primary key and then have columns to store the information you are currently storing in project variables.
Taking this approach, you'd be updating the milliions of rows in the database very quickly. You could still have project variables in your process, but they would be set at the beginning of a Screenflow or in an Automatic activity using a SELECT statement against the database table using the unique id of the instance as the key.

How can I update the "basic" Adobe Flash Player that is in my Samsung Smart TV?
How can I update the "basic" Adobe Flash Player that is in my Samsung Smart TV?
Any update would come from Samsung, but in low-margin products like TVs, it's pretty uncommon for OEMs to provide ongoing maintenance over a large span of years. You may find that you'll get a better experience from a dedicated streaming box like ChromeCast/Roku/etc.

I have an iPad that I want to update to IOS 5.1. I have several apps that each were installed using a different iTunes ID. How can I update the IOS without losing the apps?
To update your phone requires using the latest version of iTunes, on your computer, as well as Internet access. The update to iOS 5.0 or higher is an erase/restore deal, so you not only have to make sure all of the content, currently on your phone, is on your computer and accessible, you need to update iTunes first, have Internet access, then update your phone. There is no way around this fact. You could go to an Apple store or use another computer, but you run the risk of losing all of your data it you do that.
