    if they are still stored in iCloud, turn contacts off under settings>iCloud, then turn the back on and elect the merge option.  if that doesn't work you may have to remove the account from the device, and sign back in

    how can i save the media by restoring my ipod 4 ?

    Right click on your device in the device list and choose "transfer purchases", this will copy all bought media from the iTunes store to your computer.
    For all other media you'll have to use 3rd party software, for example Touchcopy , just to name one of the many.

    Go to the app section when you saw your iphone in iTunes. Check 'sync apps", then you can sync all the apps from your library.

  • How can i convert the firefox-history-timestamp in places.sqlite into a normal date format? The firefox-timestamp is not equivalent to the unix-timestamp, that's why I ask. I could not find a conversion function. Does anyone know something about this?

    As I opened the places.sqlite with an sqlite-editor I found out that firefox saves the last_visit_date via a timestamp which is 16 digits long. I realized that the first 10 digits are similar to the corresponding unix-timestamp but not equal. So.. how can i convert the firefox-timestamp into a normal date? Or into the corresponding unix-timestamp?

    Write a bash script or 'C' program to change the date format and then use the sql update function to receive the stdio output 'where date_field='embeded date value'.

  • Sorting in iTunes changed - How do I get the former method restored?

    For a couple years I used iTunes for Windows with 2 music content folders - the normal iTunes folder(s) under my Windows profile in which I kept iTunes-purchases and iTunes CD-ripped songs, and one in c:\mp3 for unprotected ripped or purchased MP3 files. Until I made a change in iTunes, I had the following sort order properties when the corresponding header bar was clicked:
    Title
    =======
    'Wonderful
    "Dalla...
    "In Crowd...
    (I Love you) For...
    1,2,3
    101 Eastbound
    A Beautiful Morning
    Your Wildest Dreams.
    The same sort of effect was seen when sorting by Artist or Album or whatever.
    I decided I wanted ONE music folder. On advice from a magazine (Maximum PC) column, in preferences I chose to have iTunes organize my music (previously unchecked) and then in the advanced tab chose to iTunes Consolidate my music. It copied my music and everything initially looked fine. But, after looking more carefully, I saw the following new effect:
    Title
    =========
    Abilene
    Your Wildest Dreams
    1,2,3
    101 Eastbound
    99 Miles from L.A.
    and,
    Artist
    ======
    a-ha
    A3
    ZZ-Top
    10cc
    5th Dimension
    It's as if the entire sort order algorthm is different as regards punctuation and numerals. So, I unchecked the option to have iTunes "organize" my music, but the order didn't change.
    What am I missing here?? How do I get the former order back to column sorting?
    I'd appreciate any help you could give me - this is pretty annoying.
    thanks.

    Get info and change the sort field(s) for one song,
    then click Apply.
    Right click the song and select Apply sort field and
    pick which you want.
    Unfortunately this is not working as intended with iTunes 7.3 for Windows (Mac too?). The "Apply Sort Field ..." does apply the new Sort Artist, Sort Album, etc. to related songs, but iTunes refuses to recognize that the songs were updated. If you check the tags, sure enough their Sort Artist, etc. have been updated, but iTunes does not seem to make use of the change. The only way I've been able to make it work is to go back into Get Info for each song and just cycle through them one-by-one without changing anything. As you cycle through, then the songs move to their proper sort order based on the updated sorting option. This wasn't the case with 7.2, so this would be a new bug.

  • How to complete disable the option to "restore previous session"?

    I wish to disable the option to "restore previous session".
    This should be disabled from the History tab.

    Maybe disable session restore.

  • How can I adjust the length of a note? Please help.

    How can I adjust the length (the sustain time) of a note after I have selected the note? Many thanks.

    Just drag the right end back and forth (mouse over the end of the note - a ] appears) - by holding down ctrlshiftdragging you can change the subdivision into ticks. In the Midi event editor you can do it numerically - just change the numbers displayed in the length section.

  • I have the Watchtime app on my iPad (1) and after an iPad restore my purchased items in the watch time app will not restore, however the items appear for purchase. how can i get the items to restore.

    Puchased items in my watchtime app will not restore to my ipad (1) after an ipad restore. The items appear ready for purchase. how can i restore the items.

    Following ultimately helped me : Make sure that you are logged in at the App Store App or iTunes App with your apple ID and password with a US account. Turn your iPad off and on and than you should see the Radio button again. It won't work if you are logged on with a foreign account. If you are not logged in at all, it worked, too.

  • How do I break the loop of restoring photo albums on my iPhone 4S?

    Hello one and all,
    First of all thank you for reading this, I really hope someone out there can point me in the right direction. I have synced my iPhone in iTunes and all has gone well. HOWEVER when I go to Photos on the phone it shows the camera roll and I get a message saying "Restoring". The phone then begins to build albums I do not have set to synchronise.
    Background:
    I did have multiple albums set to synchronise in iTunes but I have since switched off the synchronising for photos in iTunes. I got the warning about deleting those photos from my phone and elected to go ahead and delete those photos from the phone. All went without a hitch and iTunes showed the phone as having 51 photos. This tallies with the contents of the camera roll. Perfect.
    When I eject my iPhone and enter the Photos option I see my camera roll only. Lovely. After a couple of seconds however I get the message "Restoring" and albums start reappearing. I have tried restarting iTunes and performing a restart of the phone (not just off and on again). I have disconnected the USB cable between the two while restarting. Still I cannot get rid of this fascist restoring process. In the end as a precaution I switched on photo syncing in iTunes and set it to selected folders only. I selected a folder I had just created. A folder with nothing in it. It shows this folder has 0 photos in iTunes. STILL my iPhone is restoring photo albums. I do not want >7000 photos. I want only the 51 you promised.
    I don't have photo stream switched on, the phone is set to back up by USB to my MBP only and the iTunes sync shows no problems. My MBP is running the latest iTunes and OSX and my iPhone is on the latest version of iOS. I have searched on the forums and used Google: close threads but nothing addressing this issue. Please, please, please help. I know it is going to be something stupidly simple but can anyone provide a solution?
    Yours in desperation,
    Andy

  • In Lookout, how can I make the equivalent of a "4 changes per day" set-back thermostat?

    Ok... I need some help here....
    I have a Pot_TSP (Temperature setpoint) that uses a PLC register as its remote source. I added a night-time temperature setback feature by adding a "DAYTIME" expression as a permissive, and tying two new Pots (Pot_SP1 and Pot_SP2) to Pot_TSP's "reset value" :       NIF(Expression_Daytime, Pot_SP1, Pot_SP2). 
    Client now wants this increased to 4 optional temp changes per day, just like a household 7-day programmable T-stat. Adding the additional conditions to the "reset" parameter was easy; one extra TimeOfDay timer for each temperature Setpoint change, arranged as "OR" functions. Each time the clock hits one of these TOD targets, Pot_TSP gets "reset" and the "reset value" gets written to it. Here's where I start to bog down... How do you arrange this so that when one of the 4 TOD targets goes "true", its corresponding SP value gets written to Pot_TSP? The closest I've been able to get is this: make a new Pot (Pot_X) with a min of 1 and a max of 4 and use a NCHOOSE to select which of the 4 Temp setpoint Pots Pot_X will use as the (next) SP. If I rotate Pot_X and the clock hits a TOD target, a value corresponding to the selected Pot gets written to Pot_TSP. 
    So can someone please tell me how to get Pot_X to align itself with the TOD events? I can get a limping model if I slave the NCHOOSE function to a Counter object, but if the customer has Lookout turned off or disconnected long enough to miss one of the events, Pot_X will go out of sync. Same goes for incrementing the Pot object. Can't allow that...
    Since the clock never stops and only hits each TOD once every 24 hours, there would never be more than one of the 4 TOD conditions true at one time... is there a way to build an expression object (or the like) to ultimately produce a numeric (the Pot_TSP value) using the following logic: If TOD1 is true, return Pot_SP_1;  If TOD2 is true, return Pot_SP_2, If TOD3 is true, return Pot_SP_3; If TOD4 is true, return Pot_SP_4   ????
    Thanks guys.

    Hi Ryan
    Thanks again for your input! I'm more comfortable with the DataTable object (now that it's become more familiar), and thanks to you I now have a DataTable constructed for one zone (7 rows for the days-of-the-week, and 16 columns for the variables). Displaying of the cell data, cursor navigation, and reading/writing to the Pots' remote position source (in other words the actual GUI) work just fine. In order to expedite completion of the project for which this DataTable is intended, I am at a point where I am prepared to clone the DataTable 3 times to get 4 zones (that's one panel), then clone that result times the number of panels the site has....but I'd like to run this by you first:
    Unless it's contrary to "best practices", should I do as above, or try to further multiplex the DataTable I already have by adding to it the other three zones? The Table I have now serves one zone; can it be expanded to serve (dare I suggest it) one panel (4 zones)? If you recall, I started out thinking I'd need one dedicated Pot for each variable in each zone (16) times 7 days = 96; using the DataTable, the cursor replaced the d-o-t-w so the number of Pots needed dropped to 16. My point: if I have to make separate DataTable objects for each zone, I also need to make 48 more Pots to serve them (which I'm obviously trying to avoid). Then I have to repeat this times the number of panels on site. I'm guessing that adding 3 more zones to the existing (one zone) DataTable is no problem since there's plenty of room left... 
    But would you add them as columns (to keep the cursor consistent across the zones) or add them as rows (to keep the columns consistent across the zones)? 
    If added as columns, can I avoid making those extra 48 Pots? Can I make my existing 16 Pots read/write to multiple columns, like change the Remote Source for Pot_Temp_SP_1 from "..\DataTable.B" to something like "nchoose(Pot_Zone_Selector,..\DataTable.B,..\DataTable.R)" where columns B and R contain Temperature setpoint values for Zones 1 and 2 respectively?
    If added as rows, I'm guessing I don't have to make those extra 48 Pots. But what's the best way to deal with the cursor? Should I be looking at multiple cursors (one for each zone)?
    I should also point out I've been using only L3 Pots since "normal" Pots won't accept an expression as a remote position source; if I change this to regular Pots coupled with SymbolicLinks, does it change the picture at all?
    ...and I'm using Ver 6.0.2
    Thanks,
    George
