How do I back up messages on ZTE Open?

My Open is still running FFOS 1.0 and I want to update it. Since the 'check for updates' method keeps telling me there was a problem downloading updates I'm getting ready to try the SD card method. I've downloaded the relevant update from http://www.ztedevices.com/support/smart_phone/cba40ed6-d3ab-44c0-bdee-3a15803dc187.html and backed up my contacts using the Con Backup app from the marketplace, but I can't find a similarly easy way to back up my messages, and was hoping someone here could point me at something helpful - all I can find is https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Firefox_OS_build_prerequisites#Backup_the_phone_system_partition and (whilst my laptop runs Ubuntu as well as Windows so I could theoretically try that and probably will if there's no alternative) it's frankly way over my head, so something with a bit more hand-holding or would be immensely useful.
Other potentially relevant info: I own and thus have easy access to Windows 7 and XP, and Ubuntu 13.10, and could probably borrow laptops running WIndows 8.1 and OS X for a few hours/overnight if I asked nicely enough.

Hello joshua.pond,
Thank you for contacting Mozilla Support. Unfortunately those instructions are the only way to back up messages for the time being. Some kind soul may work on an app similar to the backup contacts, so keep an eye out on our Marketplace.
Cheers,
Patrick

Hi,
The windowing info should be held in com.apple.ichat.plist
In the Finder > Go Menu hold down the ALT key and select the Library that appears.
Navigate to the Preferences folder
Find com.apple.ichat.plist and drag it to the Trash (will delete it)

How to change the prompt message in a open file box

Hello
In my VI the user has to introduce several file path. They are sequenced so we know which one is requested. Is there an easy way to change the message on the "choose file to read" window in order to have "choose xxx file to read" etc... Is this through some VB programming or does labview have some tools for that ?

There are two solutions:
OBN's solution uses a function to get the file name.
My solution uses the file control. You have to click on the browse button to select the file.
Both solutions will open the system Open File dialog where the user can select the file. OBN's solution is more obvous to change the parameters. In my solution you have to use property nodes.
See the VI (LV7.0) how my solution works.

How to go back one page to an open application (from Safari)?

For example, if I have one of my applications open and I follow the link to open the products page, it launches Safari accordingly. However, when I have finished looking at that page, how do I close down Safari and go back to the last screen I was looking at in the application I had open?
Can I do this without having to press the home button taking me back to the Home screen, re-opening the app I was using and finding the bit I was looking at before?

no, that is the only way to do it.

How to install Firefox OS on ZTE Open C?

I've purchased ZTE Open C on Ebay, and it has arrived today, but it's got Android OS instead of Firefox one - how can I install FF OS on it?
Another thing is that in settings it says the model of my phone is Kis 3 and not Open C - is this correct?
Thanks for any help.

Hi bazujewicz,
It seems that the Ebay seller may have sent you the wrong item. You should contact the seller to inquire about an exchange to the correct cell phone device.
This link shows how to manually update and flash a ZTE Open C:
* [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Developer_phone_guide/ZTE_OPEN_C#.22Manual.22_updates Manually Update a ZTE Open C]
However - since your phone may be a different model, it could end up bricking and voiding warranty on your device.
Please contact the seller and the appropriate Ebay channels for further support.

Email messages now show "To: me" instead of the name or email address and I want to know how to change back to the way it was.

I use several yahoo email addresses and it has always been very convienent to see if it is a personal or business related message by simply seeing the To: line. Now all of sudden all I see is "me" and it is not at all helpful. I didn't make the change nor authorize it to be done. I am not even sure if this is a Firefox issue or a Yahoo issue. I would like to know how to change back to show the full email name or address.

hello shackiraq, you'd have to contact yahoo's support about this issue - firefox doesn't handle your emails but just renders a website like it is provided to you by the server of a webmail service.

HT4314 How do I disable game center's "welcome back" popup messages or disable game center entirely?

Iphone 5, iOS 7.0.4
Ok, this seems obvious but how do I get rid of this welcome back popup? Every time I open a game this redundant "welcome back!" message pops up taking up a good quarter of the screen and frequently causing me to die. I can't tell you how many times I've opened a game like Sonic the Hedgehog 2, only to die immediately because I can't see my character while he's covered by a big "welcome back" message. Of course, when that's the last life left and I end up having to restart the whole level, you can see how it might be way more frustrating than it's worth.
So, I've excluded game center from the notification center stuff, I've set it to "no notifications" (which shouldn't matter since it's excluded) and still it pops up.
I signed out of game center too because i'd rather enjoy my games than be frustrated and able to share the scores. Now it just has a pop up at the beginning of every game asking me to sign in, which is just aggrivating in a different way, plus now I I don't have the ability to use the game center. I read here that once signed out there is a button to disable game center, but that doesn't seem to appear in iOS 7. Is there a way to disable it without jailbreaking my phone?
Thanks!

May not be Game Center but something in Solitaire...whcih Solitaire is this, there are so many?
I have Real Solitaire, ver 2.5.1 and it has in the window when you win that you are not signed in to Game Center but never says anything else about Game Center.

How do you remove telstra messages and go back to visual messages on iphone

How do you remove telstra messages and go back to visual messages on iphone

Should be pretty easy as follows:
1 - Make sure you have copies of any pictures you want that are inside Aperture somewhere on your computer.
2 - Quit Aperture > Remove any Aperture icon from dock > drag the Aperture program (lens icon) from Applications folder to the Trash > proceed through any warning dialog (including entering password as required) to complete the process.
Note - new security features in OS X Lion may present those warning dialogs to prevent accidental deletion of Apple programs.
3 - Hold down the 'Option' key and use the 'Go' menu in menu bar and select the 'Library' option.
4 - In the Library folder, open the 'Application Support' folder and delete any Aperture folder found.
5 - While still in the Library folder, open the 'Preferences' folder and delete both the 'com.apple.Aperture.plist' and 'com.apple.Aperture.plist.lockfile' file.
6 - While still in the Library folder, open the 'Caches' folder and delete the 'com.apple.Aperture' folder.
7 - Go the your 'Pictures' folder and drag the 'Aperture Library' (may be named Aperture Trial Library or similar) to the Trash to delete it as well.
8 - Empty the Finder Trash to remove Aperture.
Note - there are some files and Aperture folders in the '/Library' folder (which is in the root of your system drive), but you don't really need to remove those. Since you are a beginner, it is probably better not to for now.
That should do it.
Additional edit: There are two Library folders I am referring to. The first is the one in your user account 'Home' folder which is the one you are going to by using the 'Go' menu. This is the one you are deleting files from in the steps listed. The second Library folder is the one in the root of your system drive and is not typically a location for beginners to work with (thus the final note above). Hope that is clear enough.

HT4946 how to view backed up SMS messages in itunes

how to view backed up SMS messages in itunes or on my pc

If they are included in the iTunes backup, you do not view them. iTunes backups are not viewable, they are intended solely for restoring to an iOS device.
If the device has been used as designed and the pictures were regularly copied off the device to the computer, look in the folders where you put them.
If the device has been used as designed and contacts were synced with a supported application on the computer or a cloud service, look in that application or cloud service.

when i try to delete my messages it turns my imessage off so i have to restart my phone to get it to work again, by then all my messages have come back which i deleted... how can i delete old messages i dont need anymore withou imessage going off?

To get rid of "pop-up ads and other crap on my computer when I am on the internet", click on Safari in the Menu bar, and select Preferences. Next select Extensions. Delete all of them. Restart Safari.
The first step in addressing the black screen is an SMC reset.
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

How do i get rid of the "iPad Not Backed Up" message?

How do I get rid of the "iPad Not Backed Up" message? A week ago this happened, I searched for help, I was told to reboot and the message would go away. It worked...for awhile. The message is back, but now I cannot even reboot/reset the ipad. The message blocks me and prevents me from using the "slide to power off".

I'm not totally sure why the screen locks up like that, but it seems to happen to a number of users. I see that question being asked several time a day.
My advice would be to backup regularly with iCloud so that the message does not appear. If you are already doing so, I can only assume that it is some low memory bug that is causing it, and that is merely a guess.

HT1430 message appearing on ipad- ipad not backed up- how do i back up

message appearing on ipad- ipad not backed up- how do i back up

If the message is stuck on the screen then a soft-reset should clear it : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
You can then backup to the cloud via Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Back Up Now

How can I back up an iphone when I haven't set the phone up for back ups & the touch screen doesn't work? The phone can receive calls (not answer) & the pictures & messages can be seen but the touch screen doesn't work to unlock the phone or select anything. We want to save/transfer pictures, contacts, and music to the replacement phone.

Try backing it up to your computer with iTunes. Connect it to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of the phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now. Also go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases to transfer you apps and other purchased media to your iTunes library.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first back up to iCloud may take some considerable time. Just how long isn't really possible to say without knowing how much is in your back up and your connection speed.
