How to determine which drive has the most recent backup?

I have a few drives that contain backups of files. What would be the easiest way to figure out which of the drives has the most recent backup? When I sort by date, the folder shows one date, though the files inside show a different date? Is there a way to quickly check the drives to find which is the most recent?
Thanks.

the folder modification date isn't reliable, as is only tells of changed in the folder, but not in subfolders. there is no efficient way. I however highly suggest Time capsule, it is WAY easier and you can ask it not to sync the System data and/or applications, so it would prevent this hassle.
You could try this: go to the first drive, type different letters, like a for instance, and see which file is the most recent document/folder.
do the same thing on the other drives and compare.

How and where do I access the most recent backup of my iTouch's calendar PRIOR to my auto-sync?

How and where do I access the most recent backup of my iTouch's calendar -- prior to the recent auto-sync which lost 5 yrs. of info. on my calendar? I want to retrieve it.

All you can do is restore from backup. To do that see the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
Also, turn off autosyncing so that when you reconnect the iPod to yuor computer the old backup does not get overwritten . To turn off go iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says "Prevent iPods...".
iTunes only retains the most recent backup and updates it with the changes.

JSF: How to determine which element has the focus?

Hi all,
I have a JSP with some input fields and a text area. When I press "ENTER" the data I have entered should be saved. That works fine (I use JavaScript to catch the keyPressed-event). But when I want to insert a new line in the text area, I press ENTER too and this invokes the javascript function. So it�s not possible to insert a new line in the text area. And I don`t want to save the data when I�m just inserting a new line.
is it possible to determine which element has the focus at the moment of pressing ENTER? if it`s the text area then I won�t save the data and inserting a new line is possible? Or how to say: "Insert an new line if the user presses SHIFT+ENTER" or something like that?
I�m using JSC for my application and this is my JS-function:
function checkIt(evt)
var charCode = (evt.charCode) ? evt.charCode : ((evt.which) ? evt.which : evt.keyCode);
     if (charCode == 13)
          document.getElementById('form1:bt_Save').click();
          return false;
          return true;
I�m looking for something like that:
if(charCode == 13) {
if(document.getElementById('form1:textArea').hasFocus())
doNothing...
else {
document.getElementById('form1:bt_Save').click();
     return false;
thanks for any help

Hi,
I searched through many forums (js of course too) but
I couldn�t find a solution. Everybody knows how to
set the focus but not how to get it. We often use
JSF/JSP with javascript and maybe somebody here has
another approach to this problem (how to solve it
using jsf itself or anything else)?Take easy. I just suggested to search in a JavaScript forum , in your question you didn't mentioned this. Good luck man.
Cya.

Long story short....I restored my computer to an earlier point using time machine and now all of the previous back-ups are gone. My question has to do with itunes...is it possible to restore my itunes library to the most recent backup because the restore that I did was in march and the latest backup was in may....the reason being is that there were app that i had downloaded that are in my most recent back-up, that were not in the backup I restored to. Is it possible to just restore one application ie)itunes?

I got a new iphone 6. When I restore my phone from my icloud backup my most recent photos and messages not restored from icloud backup. How do I get the most recent backup onto my new phone?

Hello, Anita.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are wanting to restore your new iPhone 6 from an iPhone 5 backup. This sounds like the iOS version of your old iPhone 5 may be newer than what was installed on your iPhone 6. Try going through the steps in the article below.
iOS: Unable to restore from backup of a newer device
I would also check to see the backup dates in iTunes and if the backup is located on iCloud instead of iTunes.
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes

Is there a way to get back a previous iTunes backup file than the most recent Backup?

I did a manual backup and wanted to restore the iPhone, but iTunes forced me to update the iPhone before allowing me to restore the iPhone...
After updating, I realised that iTunes created a backup automatically without confirming with me, and now the latest backup file is not the one I wanted.
Is there a way to get back the backup file I manually backup?

Is there a way to get back a previous iTunes backup file than the most recent Backup?
No, to the best of my knowledge the device backup area is simply updated with new information each time the device is backed up so there are no previous versions preserved. Once a backup has been used to restore a device however it gets locked and dated so that you could return back to that snapshot at a later date.
Your manual backup should have simply updated the backup with any new data since the last automatic backup. Upgrading should not have overwritten a backup taken just before the upgrade with a, presumably, empty state. Have you actually tried to restore the current backup that is available? It may have what you want after all. You might like to try backing up the current state of the device to iCloud first, or if you have access to another computer back it up to that.
N.b. I always disable automatic syncing of devices so that I am in better control of when data starts to be written, and in which direction it flows.

I upgraded to a 4g and the most recent backup (today) is not showing up. I went ahead and backed up and found that my texts, phone calls and messages did not backup.

I upgraded to a 4g and the most recent backup (today) is not showing up. The most recent backup that showed was 3/3/12. I went ahead and backed up to that date and found that my texts, phone calls and messages are the part that did not backup.
Can anyone tell me 1) why my most recent backup did not show in ITunes, 2) why I could not backup using the Cloud (I tried this way first), 3) how I can get all the phone calls, messages and texts from 3/3/12 until today? Please help if you can...thanks!

I found the answer on:

It worked great!

How to identify which drive is the current boot drive?

I have a PowerBook running Leopard, and I prefer to boot from the external drive. It's bigger and has my working files. The current internal drive is for future use, for when I have a replacement machine. I know how to specify the boot drive in Preferences, but sometimes the machine reboots without me. I don't know how to verify which drive I'm booted from. I changed the desktop background, so that once I'm logged in I can tell, but surely there is a more direct way to determine this. Isn't there?

A simple option would be to select About this Mac from the Apple menu.

HT4623 I have followed the directions and my iphone is not installing the iOS 7.0.2. My iphone is plugged into my lap top that has the most recent version of itunes. It is a dsl connection. Is that my problem?

I have followed the directions and my iphone is not installing the iOS 7.0.2. I have the most recent version of itunes on my laptop commuter. my iphone is attached to my laptop via usb port. The laptop uses dsl not wifi. Is that my problem?

Exactly what version of iTunes are you running? And DON'T say 'the latest version'... CHECK the version number. You need to be running 11.1 or higher.

HT201269 i backed up my iphone to iTunes and then when i restored the back up info was not from the most recent backup, but from May!!! what can I do to get yesterdays data?1

i backed up my iphone to itunes and tried restoring the info on to a new iphone and for some reason it used an old back up from last may. I know that the recent back up worked as I used it to set up another phone a week ago (a phone whihc also had problems and hence I needed to use that same back up again on my second new phone. Is there anyway I can get the most recent back up information back?

1. Create a backup of your iPad to iTunes on your computer or to iCloud
2. Transfer any and all photos & videos on your iPad to your computer.
3. Erase the iPad and restore the iPhone's iCloud backup to the device.
4. Transfer any and all photos & videos on your iPad to your computer.
5. Restore the iPad backup you reated in step #1 back to the iPad.

How to determine which locale uses the specific process

Hi,
I would like to get to know which locale uses the specific process.
I mean that when the process starts it should use the current system locale.
Where I can check that information which locale are used by the running process?
I ask because I would like to make sure that for example when the locale are French or Japanese the process/deamon use the current locale.
Kind regards,
Daniel

Hi,
currently we are in the process of consolidating our databases. One of the neccessary steps is to figure out which user connects to the database at all. That's easy, we implemented a logon-trigger and log the collected information into a separate table.It could have been even easier by turning on the built-in audit feature.
If a user with objects (e.g. tables, views, procedures) exists - but this user never connects to the database - does that automatically mean that these objects are not used at all? No need to say that this is not true. But how can we figure out if a connected user has selected an object of this user?audit would be a good choice.
Our porblem is that we have alot of schemas in our database - but the developers don't know if this schema is not used by an application or not (sad but true).Not sure what developer will do with used/not used application.
To enable auditing would be one choice to figure out if an object was ever used or not. What's wrong in auditing ?
Even though audit may have a footprint on performance, that would probably be less costly than any custom solution.

How to determine which user has an Access 2013 databse open

How can I tell which user / PC has opened a Backend Access database?

If the file is stored on a server and you have access to it, you could check in Computer Management, then go into System Tools, Shared Folders, Open Files, and you should find the file listed there along with which user has it open currently.

How to determine which application has focus in Windows

Hello all-
I'm trying to work around the "Labview freezes when there is large data on the clipboard known issue" (http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Labview-freeze-when-accessing-a-custom-menu-with-data-on-the/m-p/200...) and one thought is to try to determine if Labview has focus, and if it does then clear the clipboard. If Labview doesn't have focus, then let the user use the clipboard. This would be a good work-around because it would let the users paste screen shots and such into notes files and wouldn't risk a nasty clipboard/ menu/ freeze-crash.
My initial search for determining windows application focus, came up empty though. This old thread (from 2005) pretty much covers it:
http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Is-there-a-simple-way-to-programatically-tell-which-VI-window/m-p/20...
The "Is Frontmost' property does not do it. I need to determine if Labview has focus, as opposed to Windows, notepad, firefox, etc. I also reviewed the commad prompt commands and didn't find anything immediately helpful there either.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Casey
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Christian-
That's perfect! By using GetForegroundWindow, GetWindowTextA and GetWindowFileNameA in user32.dll I can detect which window has focus. If Labview has focus then I programatically clear the clipboard so the user can still use it when not clicking on Labview windowns, but also we do not risk a freeze and crash because of the clipboard/ freeze bug.
I briefly thought about using the .NET versions of these functions, but because that would have forced an upgrade to at least .NET framework 3.0 for all of my user computers, I decided on the unmanaged user32.dll.
Thanks for the suggestion. I think I'm pretty close to a work around here that should last me until they fix the clipboard/ freeze bug.
Thanks,
Casey

How to determine which RAC-instance the appl. is logged onto?

Dear all,
I need to have my application server determine which RAC-
instance is currently active (logged onto). I have a
tnsnames.ora file with a primary-, and secondary RAC-
instance configured, and Failover/Failback between the
instances work fine. However, I would be interested in
determining which instance I am curently using.
Does the Oracle Net Protocol have support for letting me
"read" this out, or...?
Thanks.
Regards, Eldor R.

Thank you for the prompt reply.
Is there, in the Oracle Net Protocol, available
function(s) for reading out this information
directly without "parsing" the trace file?
I would like to read out this information from my
application run-time.
Thanks.
