How to manually create an iPod save with iTunes?

Hello,
using iTunes and an iPod Touch, sometimes it happens that I want to have multiple save points available for restore in case something goes wrong with the iPod (e.g., losing notes, or forgetting which podcasts were present on the iPod, etc.)
I noticed that, somehow, such saves were generated at some point inside ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup; all three are named upn the same model, a long, hexadecimal-looking string, then "-date-time". All three are properly recognized in iTunes.
As I don't remember how these were generated, how can I start a new iPod save whenever it synchronizes? I set podcasts, contacts and calendars to sync automatically, and I manually add or remove films and music.

You can always right-click (control-click) on your iPod in the devices list of iTunes and select Backup.
From the manual, page 109: "Backups can be created in the following ways:
Once iPod touch has been configured to sync with a particular computer, iTunes automatically makes a backup of iPod touch on that computer when you sync. iTunes won’t automatically back up an iPod touch that is not configured to sync with that computer. If you have configured iPod touch to automatically sync with iTunes on a specific computer, iTunes will back up iPod touch every time you
connect it to that computer. Automatic syncing is turned on by default. iTunes only makes one backup each time you connect, even if you sync multiple times before disconnecting.
If you choose to update the software on iPod touch, iTunes will back up iPod touch automatically, even if it is not configured to sync with iTunes on that computer.
If you choose to restore the software on iPod touch, iTunes asks if you want to back up iPod touch before restoring."

How to Manually Create Wi-Fi Profiles with Open Authentication & WEP Encryption

I clicked Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center> Set up a new connection or network > Manually connect to a wireless network, but I wasn't able to select WEP for Encryption type when I selected
Open System for Security type. Why not? I hear Open authentication & WEP encryption is more secure than WEP authentication & encryption. Doesn't Windows support Open authentication & WEP encryption?
I tried it on several computers: Win8.1/8/7, hp/DELL/ASUS/acer, but on neither of them was I able to select Open authentication and WEP encryption at the same time. Wi-Fi is enabled, and every user account that I tried it from is admnistrator
one.
I can manually create Wi-Fi profiles with WEP authentication and WEP encryption. What I wanted to create is, however, those with Open authentication and WEP encryption.
I'll appreciate your help.

Hi,
Acctually speaking, Both type of WEP encryption is not secure. I'm agree with SenneVl's opinion, it would be better to use WPA encryption. You can refer to the contents of the link belwo for more details:

You cannot. There is no iTunes application on an iPad and iPods cannot sync with an iPad.

How can I sync my iPod Classic with iTunes 11.1.4 and Windows 7 64-bit?

After assistance from ‘b Noir’ (and losing--then finally regaining--my DVD/CD reader in the process), I finally installed the iTunes Version 11.1.4 update on my Windows 7 64-bit PC. So I am again able to import music from CDs, play music on my PC with iTunes, and burn CDs as I could do with previous iTunes versions. Then, however, I purchased some new music and tried to sync iTunes with my iPod Classic for the first time since the update to 11.1.4. So far, I have been spectacularly unsuccessful. Can anyone help me?
With previous iTunes versions, sync was automatic when I connected iPod to a USB port. Now when I connect iPod Classic to PC's USB port (I've tried two different ports), iPod’s screen says “Connecting” but iTunes doesn’t open. And while iPod is connected to the USB port, I can't open iTunes by right-clicking its icon and selecting “Open.” (ITunes, however, always opens OK if iPod is NOT connected). With the iPod connected to a PC's USB port, I opened Windows 7 “Devices and Printers.” Devices shown included both (a) the “Apple iPod USB Device” and (b) “Apple Mobile Device USB Driver.” I right-clicked each of these device icons in turn and selected “troubleshoot.” Both times, the report was “Troubleshooting couldn’t identify the problem.”
I am also unable to properly “eject” the iPod. I tried ejecting (a) from the Windows taskbar's Notification Area, (b) from Windows “Devices and Printers” and (c) by right clicking the iTunes icon and selecting “Eject.” Nothing worked, so I reluctantly pulled the cable out of the iPod without ejecting. That causes a yellow triangle with an exclamation point to appear in “Devices and Printers” for my PC—which disappears after shutting down and rebooting the PC.
If I start iTunes and THEN connect the iPod Classic to the USB port, iTunes does nothing and almost instantly freezes (shows as “not responding” in Windows Task Manager and I have to close it via Task Manager).
Suggestions, please, on what I need to do? My iPod Classic continues to work just fine, but I can't put any of my newly purchased music on it and I guess it will become an expensive paperweight if the battery happens to run down. If nothing else, is there an old version of iTunes I can download somewhere that likely will work with the iPod Classic and my PC setup? Thanks so much!

Hi turingtest2,
Thanks so much for your response--yes, I've seen the TS1363 document.
I was able to open iTunes, start the iPod Diagnostic Device Connectivity Test, and connect the iPod when prompted to do so. The only problem reported by the diagnostic program was "No iPod, iPhone or iPad found." So it does seem as if the TS1363 document should apply. But I have tried connecting the iPod after executing each of Steps 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 9 shown there and nothing has worked so far. Details follow:
--Went through the iPod Classic troubleshooting assistant--except I did not "reset" the iPod (because having all my "old" music available on the iPod has value to me).
--Restarted iPod Service.
--Restarted Apple Mobile Device Service.
--Verified that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed. There is no down arrow or question mark or other indication of problem with it.
--Tried two different USB ports (I assume that is what is meant by "change your iPod's drive letter"?).
--Temporarily disabled Norton Antivirus.
For some reason, there are 368 files and 60 folders in the Temp folder under my user name, and it looks like at least some are "read-only." Windows wouldn't let me delete or move the folder, even after I turned off Norton AntiVirus and closed the programs in the "Notification Area" that I could figure out how to close.
I'm very reluctant to get into messing with Config files or registry keys. And I have already tried uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes 11.4.1 so many times. I'm not sure what to do but am considering uninstalling all of the Apple products (again) and try installing an older version of iTunes. Or maybe I should try to install iTunes 11.4.1 on our Windows 8 laptop and see if the iPod will connect to that (although I really need to be able to sync to my desktop PC). Probably won't have time to do either for a few days--too many other things to do. But please let me know if there's something more that's relatively simple and low-risk I could try. Thanks again!

How to manually create a standby db with SAN for hardware cluster failover

Hi all,
The primary db(oracle 9i r2, Sun Solaris) puts its datafile, redo logs, control files in SAN while the pfile, listener and tnsnames files are in its local hardisk. I need to create a standby db(not for dataguard) for hardware cluster failover, where if the primary db fails the hardware cluster will failover to standby db(mounting the datafile, redologs, control files in
SAN to a mount point automatically and start the db services). But I don't know how to create the standby db, I would install the db software first then should I copy the pfile(created from primary db), listener and tnsnames files to standby db? What are the correct steps to do it? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks ackermsb for the reponse. I think I have confused of setting standby db and creating a HA. What I trying to achieve is creating a HA with vendor clusterware and oracle e.g. Sun Cluster HA for Oracle.
The steps involved in preparing the primary and standby oracle are:
Oracle application files – These files include Oracle binaries, configuration files, and parameter files. Need to installed separately in two servers locally.
The Database-related files – These files include the control file, redo logs, and data files are placed in a Cluster File System.
What I don't how to do it is, after installing the oracle binary in standby server, should I create the listener, tnsnames and pfile or copy them from the primary db?
Thanks in advance.

How do I create an unordered list with three items and link to id's

How do I create an ordered list with three items and linl to id's on my page

Thanks, I guess what I was really asking, Is there a n option in the insert menu or somewhere where Dreamweaver does it for you.
I am not clear on what you are wanting DW to do for you? Is it that you want it to insert a three item unordered list? No - there's no such function. You would need to click in Design view where you want the list to go, click on the bulleted list icon on the Property inspector, and then enter the three items separated by carriage returns. Then you'd have to link each item specifically.
To enter the named anchors to element ID values, CS5 has no way to do this. You'd have to enter those links manually.

How to manually create a transport for table T604 update?

Hi Gurus,
I upated table T604 with transaction VEU4 - but at the time if saving it did NOT prompt for a transport request
Now, I have to move the data (updated table ) to quality box / prodcution
Instead of using again trx VEU4 in quality / prodcution boxes, I want o create an empty transport manually and then assign table T604 to that transport and move to next box.
Is that possible ? If so, can sombody explain the steps, please : how to manually create a transport and assign ojbects (table object) to it
Thanks,
SM

Not sure how you have updated T604 in VEU4, but if you go to SM30 transaction with T604 table and click Customization, then it will take you to the place in SPRO where the table is maintained. From there, use the menu Table View -> Transport and create a transport request. Then select the entries you need to transport (all, if necessary) and go to the menu Edit -> Transport -> Include in Request.

How to auto create a global variable with specific variable name in a global vi ?

how to auto create a global variable with specific variable name in a global vi using lv ? Because i need to add a lot of global variable in this global vi. But you know, if i manually add them , it will be a much time-costing work. So i want to use someway to auto generate ? Can i ?? Thanks a lot !

Hi
what aartjan is saying is the way for you. but you can develop an utility which will actually help you create global variables. To get the details on this just have a look at VI Scripting section on LAVA forum.
But i would like you to suggest few things
1. If your programs have so many global variables (Thats why u want utility) then you should take out some time to read about LabVIEW design patterns. I think if programmer follows these practicess he dont need a single global variable.
2. Their are some other ways to achieve similar functionality as of global variables (Uninitialized Shift Registers, Single Element Qs and so on) but they are much faster than global variables.
I am Attaching Whatever Resources i am having I will also attach the template of the design pattern i generaly use in short duration

How do i use 2 ipod touches with 1 itunes account?

how do i use 2 ipod touches with 1 itunes account? can they share apps and music etc. I'm not very good at any tech so advise would be much appreciated.

Yes. You can sync an unlimited number of iDvies that you control to one iTunes library/account. If using the same iTunes library on the same comutr just make sure that yu go to the ap. music and other pane for the iPod in iTunes and select sycn selected items. Not the the whole library. That way each iPod can have it own contents.

How do i create a little network with my i-mac and macbook

how do i create a little network with my i-mac and macbook

Hello:
To give a sensible answer, a little more information is needed.
I am guessing that you want to set up a wireless network as you have both a desktop and laptop.
There are some pretty good tutorials/articles in the knowledge base articles.

My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes. I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes. There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE. How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes. I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes. There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE. How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.
