Connect your iPod and when you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No*. Pressing "Yes" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual as per the link below.
You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Edit>Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box: Managing Your Songs Manually

How to update table J_1IPART1,without replacing the old values

Helllo Friends
Problem:
When I capture the excisable document in T-code J1IEX, the table J_1IPART1 does not get updated ,but when I do the good receipts by 101,then entry in the above table get updated ,by replacing the previous entry.
What should I do so that table J_1IPART2 hold all the captured values without replacing the old values.
And after what time of interval do I need to update the register, is it on daily bases or on monthly bases

Try these steps:
1. Post MIGO without excise entry
2. J1I5 - Update register for RG23A Part1 with classification ROP.
3. Post excise Invoice through J1IEX
You should update the register on daily basis.

Yes. See:

My only concern is that you may not have enough free space on the drive.

Rename, than delete the old file!

Hy to all. I have an application which searches all the .txt files from a directory, than modify it's content, creates new file with the name of the old one + .tmp ending, then copies the modified content to is, deletes the old files and renames the new ones to the name of the old ones. My problem is that the renaming and delete does not work.can u help me with??? Some code please.Thanks!

No, you provide your code. Use the CODE button or [code] and [/code] tags to make it readable.
Provide just an SSCCE, as nobody wants to read through an entire application just to find problems with file manipulation.
And describe precisely what "doesn't work." means.

I Note with the iOS8 update when I now delete a msg from a contact thread it still shows up with the time as a recent msg. How do I delete this from recent without deleting the entire thread?

My understanding is that music syncing is a one way process from computer iTunes to your iPhone. I think what you are asking is to have IOS synching back to an OSX or PC system. The software doesn't work that way.
You either have to uncheck the songs to be synced or create a separate playlist for "BC Canada iPhone" and only sync that playlist.
As well any purchases you made on your iPhone need to be transferred to your iTunes so they can come back to your phone when you re-sync.
Hope this helps, even though it's not the answer you might have wanted.

Removing unchecked songs from ipod, without deleting the files from itunes?

I want to remove a large amount of songs from my ipod, without deleting them from my itunes.
I unchecked them all in itunes, but accidentally synced my ipod without selecting "Sync only checked songs." But now when I sync it--even with that box checked-- it leaves all the unchecked songs on my ipod.
I can't seem to just go into the music on my ipod and delete them either.
Is there anyway I can automatically remove all the unchecked songs from my ipod without deleting them from itunes?
(I know I can manually choose what to sync, but it would be a massive headache to go through 30 gigs of music to select the 20 I want on there....)

Hey Emily,
So the *Sync only checked songs and videos* option is still ticked from under your iPod's Summary tab correct? If so, what options do you have ticked from under the Music tab for your iPod? If it is set to only sync *Select Artists, Playlists, and Genres* try changing that to sync your entire music library. Then make sure to hit the Apply button to update the changes to your iPod.
Any luck there?

HT1296 how to add new photos without deleting the existing photos in ipad

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to add new photos/PDF books from my PC to iPad without deleting the exsting data in iPad?

Hello AJ2349
If it is prompting you that it will replace the data on your iPhone, then that is typically the result of syncing with a different computer. The only way you can bypass that is to replace the media on your device and then sync. Now it will only replace items that would be considered purchased items like music, movies, TV shows and Apps and would not delete any pictures from your iPhone. Alternatively you can setup a Shared Photo Stream and then add the Photos there without syncing your iPhone with your computer. Check out the articles below for more information.

How do i change the apple id in icloud without deleting the old one?

i was given a second hand iphone 4 still logged into the previous owners apple id account. I changed the apple id connected to the itunes and app store to mine but i cant seem to be able to change the one connected to the icloud without deleting the previous owners account which i do not want to do becasue that apple id is still in use. how do i change the id without actually deleting the one currently logged in?

Welcome to the Apple community wensecles.
Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.

How to add files ( music, movies, ibooks) from itunes to your idevice without deleting the exicting files on the idevice??

I have tried to add ibooks to my iphone 5 and I was successful. But when I tried to import the same ibooks from itunes to my ipad 2. It showed up a messege asking me if I wanted to delete the exicting files on my ipad in order to add ibooks? How can I add ibooks without deleting everything on my ipad 2?

Those songs that were purchased from iTunes will be available to redownload from Itunes for free. They are still available after you delete them from your phone.
Any that you did not purchase from iTunes, you can either use iTunes Match, otherwise you will loose these songs.

How can I update my ipod without deleting everything on it?

Ok, so here is the situation, and I am pretty sure I am screwed.
I have an ipod touch, 32 GB 3rd or 4th gen (the one right before the one with a camera)
My macbook (1st gen) died last april, taking with it all my music, photos, apps and other such files that are still stored on my ipod.
I've already used a 3rd party ripping tool to save most of my music, but I have no way of saving or backing up my apps or photos.
I am currently on my brother's macbook trying to update my ipod so my apps will work right (It has not been updated since april) and
I keep running into the issue of distroying everything that is on my ipod.
I do not have to money to get a new computer myself right now, so I can't really just start over, and I really do not want to repay for all the apps I have purchased. is there any way to update the IOS on my ipod touch without distroying all my apps, music and photos?

An updated favicon is not visible also after a page reload! How can this be done without deleting the full browser cache?

I updated the favicon on a homepage.
I reloaded the page in firefox but the old favicon remains.
I do not want to delete the whole cache of the browser. A page reload should be enough because other users will not delete the cache to get the new favicon.

Did you try a reload with a cache bypass?
You can reload the page and bypass the cache with:
* Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
* Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
* Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)
See [[Keyboard shortcuts]] and [[Mouse shortcuts]]
If you have bookmarked that site then try to remove all bookmarks (open the bookmarks in tabs, click the yellow star and click the Remove button). Then try to reload all pages and create new bookmarks if that works. You may need to close and restart Firefox. You can also use Forget About This Site in the History right-click context menu but that will remove everything relating to that site, including saved passwords and exceptions.
