? How to setup as new device for testing and reverting back to old backup

I need to do some testing to see if my backup may be causing poor responsiveness from my home key.
I have already done a full restore but nothing has changed. I would like to create a new device and install a few apps to see how things go. Then, I want to erase all the settings and install my old backup if there is no change. I want to ensure I will have access to my all my backups as I dont want to lose them. I have tonnes of apps.
How can I accomplish this task?

Plug in to iTunes, select your device, select restore. When it is done, say Set up as New iPod. When you are done, simply repeat the process except select Restore from Backup when it is done.

How do I use family share to setup a new device for my child when I don't already have one with iOS 8?

My kids want apple products.
I don't own any.
I buy an iPad for one and an iPhone for the other, but I can't set them up because they require me to setup Family Share and create accounts. I can't do that because I don't have a device with iOS 8 already setup.
I do have a valid AppleID. I've had it for years. I use it with iTunes.
I wish they would just let me manage the account setup and Family Share through a web page. Right now I'm dead in the water and Christmas is approaching fast.

I have found a solution.
It turns out that all the documentation I could find on the web was wrong. At least in the case of the iPad I just bought. I did manage to borrow a device so that I could setup family share and the kids accounts, but when I went to enter the new existing account into the setup of the iPad, it then started leading me through the process to create the account (clearly it didn't bother to check if it really existed already). In reality, I believe had I just entered a "new ID" for my child, that didn't exist, it would have led me through the same process. As it was, I had to back out to the first screen and skip the creation process, since I had already created the IDs elsewhere.
The only part I'm not clear on, is if I still would first have needed to turn on family sharing for my ID before starting this whole process, or whether it would automate that while creating the child AppleID.

HT204053 How to setup multiple Apple devices sharing Icloud and app store but still have different apple id for each?

As randers4 says, use separate AppleIDs for iCloud and iMessage accounts. You cannot "share iCloud" and have separate mail, messaging and facetime. To get those, you need to use separate AppleIDs to each create your own iCloud account and your own iMessage account.
You can share apps and other purchased content by having a common AppleID used in the iTunes and App store.

Ipod reset to old setting with old icloud ID. How do I reset it to use new login for icloud and then restore from icloud backup

My upgrade to iOS 8 failed and I had to restore my iPad from an old backup (since restoring from cloud wasn't given as an option).
Now the iPad has my old iCloud account configured instead of the one I've been using for the past year or so. How do I:
1. Get the iPad to use the correct iCloud account?
2. Restore the iPad from an iCloud backup?
Everytime I try to log out of iCloud it prompts me for the password on the old account to allow me to turn off "Find my iPad". I don't think that account even exists anymore. I tried to reset the password on the old account (using an old email address), but the password email never arrives.
Help!

Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).
If you need to restore an iCloud backup, it's explained here: iCloud: Restore your iOS device from iCloud.

How to setup JAVA_HOME or JRE_HOME for veridata, and newest Java version

when I test veridata agent connection to source db, I got following error:
Agent remote message (101): Unhandled exception 'java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError': (oracle/jdbc/pool/OracleDataSource) bad major version at offset=6
Then I checked java home on source, it is set to $ORACLE_HOME/jdk ,and java version is 1.5.
Since my oracle goldengate agent download is 11.2, doc says it requires 1.6 as mininum java version.
I just wonder how I get oracle Home has 1.6 java binaries.
Thanks in advance.

You probably already have a Java 6 installed somewhere; but if not, just install it (via pkg manager or manually installing from a tarball, etc). Then just set JAVA_HOME to the directory containing "bin", and prepend $JAVA_HOME/bin to your PATH (this should be quite simple).

When you pre order a new phone (Note 4), and mail back the old phone (Note 3), on an Edge upgrade, do you get a trade in credit?

Will I get credit for the $215 that they say my Note 3 is worth once they receive it in the mail?

The fact they let you upgrade before the phone is paid off is your credit.

How to setup a default direction for new divs in fluid grid layout in dreamweaver?

Hi,
how to setup a default direction for new divs in fluid grid layout in dreamweaver? I am an RTL interface user, I need my new divs to be inserted from right to left not Left to Right! could it be in dreamweaver?
Thanks.

This may get me into strife, but my experience is that you are better off finding another platform for your RWD.
The framework that I tend to use is by Zub-Foundation http://foundation.zurb.com/.
A commercial product that I have come to appreciate can be found here http://www.projectseven.com/products/tools/composer/index.htm. Please do not mention me if you happen to choose this product.

How to setup a default size for new divs in fluid grid layout in dreamweaver?

Hi,
how to setup a default size for a new divs in fluid grid layout in dreamweaver? I don't need the default size for new divs as a 100% width, I need them 13.69% as a one coulmn width only (7 coulmns fluid grids layout for desktop size 1000w).
This problem I've faced when I intended to insert dozens of fluid grid divs in the layout.

Sorry, I don't believe that you have had a good look at the Foundation framework. I'll now hold your hand while we go through the basics.
Here is the specific page http://foundation.zurb.com/docs/components/grid.html
The default values are
Em-base : 16px
Row width: 62.5em (62.5em x 16px = 1000px)
Columns per row: 12
These and other default values can be changed. The fact of the matter is that if you stipulate a section width of 2 or 3 or 12 columns, the widths will automatically be calculated for you.
In your case, if you want 7 columns, all you need to do is change the number of columns per row and the rest is done for you.

How to setup the fax function for a AOI device

I read in several post on this forum that people get full print/scan/FAX functionality for the supported printers.
In my case, I have a HP Photosmart C7280, which is full supported using the C7200 series drivers, including a FAX driver.
Now, I add a printer in the 'Print & Fax' panel, and right away my printer shows up for bonjour. It finds automatically the correct driver, and works like a charm for printing and scanning, but... No Faxing whatsoever. Also no 'second' printer shows up, with 'kind' HP Fax, as several posts sugguest. Not after a few seconds, not after minutes. Using the 'Fax Devices' tab also doesn't show me any HP Fax device.
So basically my question is: How do I setup the fax functionality in SL with my printer?
Yes, it is connected over network, and the fax functions did work perfect over network with the 10.5 drivers from HP. Am I running into SL limitations? Does SL fax-drivers still support the (not optional, but default builtin) network functions of the C7280? Or... Am I just a noob that just can't find out how the setup a Fax device the obvious way
Thanks

Hello mscheidell,
Yes, I was aware of the 'two' 7200 series drivers, but thank you for checking with me.
Okay, now how did you 'add' your fax device for your printer? Did it show up a second version of your printer in the 'Add printer' box, with type FAX? Or did you just add the same 'found' printer again, but the second time with the FAX printer drivers (manual selected)?
Right now, I only get one entry when I try to add my printer into SL: It find the Photosmart C7200 series with 'kind' Bonjour. That's the only thing that will show up in my 'found' printers, even after waiting a few minutes. People in these discussions are telling me there should show up a second 'found' printer with 'Kind' HP-Fax, but that just won't happen for me.
I also tried to add the same found 'bonjour' printer again, and select manually the 'Photosmart C7200 series - fax' driver. SL tells me then there is already a print queue for that printer, but I tell SL to add this printer anyway. Then I have this C7200 series Fax device in my printing list. Using this driver seems to work fine, I can fill in fax recipients, but hitting the print button, caused the C7200 to spit out it's complete papertray, printed with bogus ascii signs only on the first lines of the page, instead of really faxing that document. So I concluded that this was not the right way to get the fax working....
Thanks for all the help again.

Hi Sami,
We can hide the collumns using the Transaction OQM1 and Program Name SAPLIQS0.
Lets say Defect location need to be hidden, the field TXTCDOT need to have the radio button HIDE.
Hope this will suffice your requirement.
Kindly ask me if you need any other details.
Thanks & Regards,
