How do I view a Backed Up Address file WITHOUT overwriting my existing one?
I think I have a few contacts that may have gotten erased in my address book. On a regular basis, I back up my contact list on an external hard drive. How do I view a contact in that address book back up copy without overwriting my whole file?
Thanks so much.
Sincerely,

ok, the following will work. Quit address book and move the folder homedirectory/Library/Application Support/Address Book to the desktop.
start address book. it will be blank and that folder will be recreated. import the archive. find the contact you need, select it and drag it to the desktop. this will create a v-card for this contact on the desktop (you can do it to several contacts at once). Now quit address book, trash the folder homedirectory/Library/Application Support/Address Book and move the copy of that folder from the desktop back to homedirectory/Library/Application Support. Start address book and import the v-card you've made.

You can't view the files in an iCloud backup. You can only see the data in the backup by restoring it to your iPad.

Please help. I have transferred my iTunes library from one external hard drive to another plus added additional music now I have duplicates of the same music in many albums. How do I delete the duplicates without going through them one by one which would take forever? I understand how to get the "show exact duplicate" feature up on iTunes but, because they were added to the library on the exact day I can't seperate them I'm that manner. So each duplicate is right next to eachother in the exact duplicate screen.

How to prevent the 'Save [html] Report to File' from overwriting an existing file.
Using LabVIEW 2011 on Windows XP, SP3.
I am trying to use the Save Report to File vi, specifically a html report.
It allows replace and create file.
In my application, I would like to create or open the file. When I try to edit to include those options
and save the vi something breaks as it appears to be an OOP vi.
How can I perform this functionality?
Thanks,
Steve ScoppettuoloWait, what do you mean you try to "edit to include those options"? Are you actually modifying a core LabVIEW VI? If you are STOP. NEVER modify VIs shipped with LabVIEW.
Your question is fundamentally not clear. Why do you want to open the file if you're trying to save the report? Are you trying to append to an existing report? If so, the New Report VI has a "template" input. If you specify an existing report file it will be opened for editing. Please review the documentation on the report VIs. -

how can i view and apply new custom patterns without going to preset manager? i had this facility but have now lost it. i design patterns but am fairly new to photoshop. i used to be able to click on the drop down menu in patterns in the 'fill' box but cannot now do this. have i inadvertently clicked on something to turn this facility off? i now have to go to 'preset manager' and manually move my new design to the first box and click 'done' so that i can use it.
Which version of photoshop are you using?
After you define a custom pattern it should be added to the bottom of whatever patterns are already loaded.
For example, if you define a custom pattern and then go to Edit>Fill>Pattern, the newly defined pattern should have been added to the existing loaded patterns. -
How to write the nodevalue back to xml file?
Hi, Everybody:
These are two packages I used. javax.xml.parsers.*,org.w3c.dom.*
Now I use "setNodeValue("abc") to set the node value to "abc". But it is not really saved back into XML file. It only change the node value in memory.
How to write the changes back to XML file? Thank you very much for your help.

I loaded my ipad photos from camera and all the pictures sorted by date. I later sync my ipad with my computer and the photos were all reorganized into IMPRT folders an out of date sequence. Any idea how to put the photos back into date files other than reloading all of them from camera?
What version of iPhoto?
Select one and rotate it. Then rotate it back. Does that make it appear?
A much better work flow is the keep the photos after importing. Check the success the import, wait for at least one successful backup cycle then use you camera's format command to reformat the card

I have an iTunes with music and videos. My wife has an iPhone with music and apps. How do I get both on our iPad2?
Without syncing to just one account?
We each have our own laptops.Hmm.
Probably easier for me to put all my stuff on my wife's computer I suppose.
Rebuilding all those iTunes playlists is not very fun though.
And of course anything new that I want on my laptop I will have to duplicate on her laptop in the future.
Not sure how iCloud works just yet.
So you can't have two laptops and manually sync both people's stuff to one iPad? -
How to find certain words based on table without overwriting the old one
Hello,
I have a list of words available in one particular table, based on those records i need to match it up with one specific column on another table. Based on that match i need to update the same. below is answer for this question;
Design a new query. Select your data table and your words table. No join line between them.
Drag datatable.* to the design grid, and the field to check. In the criteria for that field write:
Like '*' & [wordstable]![wordsfield] & "*"
(of course you change this to your object names)
But now my another question is that how i can do update without replacing the existing one. Like for example " Peter is engineering degree".
In this example if i have words like ring and degree on my reference table, then as per the solution it will update the degree first then later if its find ring on the text then it will overwrite the degree on the particular column. How i can prevent
this?
VinWin06But now my another question is that how i can do update without replacing the existing one. Like for example " Peter is engineering degree".
I think what you are saying is that you want to avoid specious substring matches such as finding 'engineering' when searching for 'ring'. Right? If so use the following function rather than the LIKE operator to identify the 'word' rather than merely
a substring:
Public Function FindWord(varFindIn As Variant, varWord As Variant) As Boolean
Const PUNCLIST = """' .,?!:;(){}[]/"
Dim intPos As Integer
FindWord = False
If Not IsNull(varFindIn) And Not IsNull(varWord) Then
intPos = InStr(varFindIn, varWord)
' loop until no instances of sought substring found
Do While intPos > 0
' is it at start of string
If intPos = 1 Then
' is it whole string?
If Len(varFindIn) = Len(varWord) Then
FindWord = True
Exit Function
' is it followed by a space or punctuation mark?
ElseIf InStr(PUNCLIST, Mid(varFindIn, intPos + Len(varWord), 1)) > 0 Then
FindWord = True
Exit Function
End If
Else
' is it precedeed by a space or punctuation mark?
If InStr(PUNCLIST, Mid(varFindIn, intPos - 1, 1)) > 0 Then
' is it at end of string or followed by a space or punctuation mark?
If InStr(PUNCLIST, Mid(varFindIn, intPos + Len(varWord), 1)) > 0 Then
FindWord = True
Exit Function
End If
End If
End If
' remove characters up to end of first instance
' of sought substring before looping
varFindIn = Mid(varFindIn, intPos + 1)
intPos = InStr(varFindIn, varWord)
Loop
End If
End Function
You can supplement this with the following functions to find any or all of multiple words in the same string expression:
Public Function FindAnyWord(varFindIn, ParamArray varWordList() As Variant) As Boolean
Dim var As Variant
For Each var In varWordList
If FindWord(varFindIn, var) Then
FindAnyWord = True
Exit Function
End If
Next var
End Function
Public Function FindAllWords(varFindIn, ParamArray varWordList() As Variant) As Boolean
Dim var As Variant
For Each var In varWordList
If Not FindWord(varFindIn, var) Then
FindAllWords = False
Exit Function
Else
FindAllWords = True
End If
Next var
End Function
You can edit the PUNCLIST constant in the first function to allow for any other terminating or leading punctuation characters which may exist, in non-English text for instance.

How can I move my address file and mail folders from one drive image to the active drive?
I have a drive with recovered data from a crashed drive. How do I import the Thunderbird address file to the new, current drive ( also the mail folders ) ?
Look at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb#w_how-to-find-your-profile to locate your profile on the recovered disk.
If you are just starting TB with a new profile, the simplest thing to do would be to copy the recovered profile to the directory where your current profile is located. Then switch; see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/using-multiple-profiles to switch to the other profile
If you have stuff in your current profile you need to save or merge, let me know and I will give you further instructions.
