HT1535 What all gets erased when you choose to manually manage your music?

I got a new laptop not long ago and I currently have the newest version of iTunes installed on it. I also just got the iPhone 5 so I wanted to put more (new) music on it that did not upload with iCloud. Except I want to manually manage my music as opposed to automatically syncing. When I choose the option to manually manage, it says that everything will be erased from my iPhone. Can someone just clarify what exactly will be erased, is it just my music and apps or is it basically everything on my phone as if its gettign restored to its factory settings?
Thanks

Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
Unlike most of Apple's iPod devices, the iPhone is resticted to holding content from a single library, even when manually managing that content. If a particular file isn't in the local iTunes library when you update the device (e.g. add or remove a single track) it will be deleted. This makes any potential benefit of manual management pointless. Since this restiction is imposed by iTunes you may prefer to look at 3rd party tools to manage media content on your iPhone. Alternatively stick your library on an extenal drive so that you can manage it from any computer avaiable to you.

What does it mean when you receive a text on your iphone 6 form your own number and the message is duplicated on each side (sent/recieved) and has "verizon message" with a long number at the end of the text, duplicated as well?

Great question stacybrownie! Let's get to the bottom of this so that it's not a cause for concern. When a message is sent to/from your own number, it will display as one sent, one received. This makes it display two messages as you are seeing. Let's clarify the second part of your question. Where do you see "Verizon Message" exactly? What is the long number at the end of the text? When did this start and is it with all text messages or only this instance?

What do you do when you're trying to sync your music to iTunes library, you receive the message unknown error -54, then your music on your iPhone 5c is left scrambled?

When I first got my iPhone, I was successfully able to add my music to the iTunes library. Over a period of a month, iTunes hasn't been able to "find" increasingly more of my songs. Then this error message began to appear: unknown error (-54). After listening to tech support I backed up my phone and try to restore it. Afterwards I only had on my phone the songs I had bought. So I tried syncing it again. The same error message as stated before consistently shows up. And now my music is scrambled on my phone (since when did Stevie Wonder sing Mean and Enchanted by Taylor Swift???) Has anyone had this problem? It looks like iTunes is messing up my music. Whats the solution?

Hi Memalyn
Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.

Do you get charged when you watch a film on your ipad abroad?

I get this pop up when trying to create a photo book through the iPhoto store.
"Some or all of the photos you selected were downloaded from your published albums. You can only view these photos. To use them in an album or a slideshow or project, you must import them to your photo library."
The photos I have selected have already been imported so how and why do I do it all over again?
What do they mean by published albums? I categorize them into photo albums for organizational purposes after I import them from my camera or phone. So why can't I put them into a book now?
I have over 400 photos selected for a photo book for my child's graduation gift so how can I tell which photos I have to do this to?
Please help. Any insight wouyld be appreciated.
Confused and frustrated...

Give this a try: apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.

"get info" when you upload a CD - what does it mean "part of a compilation"?

"get info" when you upload a CD - what does it mean "part of a compilation"?

If you have an album with tracks by different artists, for instance "Now That's What I Call Running", that's a Compilation of songs by different artists. (Presumably, they ran out of numbers )
So in iTunes, each track should be marked as Part of a compilation. When you see that box on a CD loaded in your CD drive, ready for importing, look at the Get Info for the complete album (by highlighting the album title on the left under Devices) and on there you will see a tick-box named Compilation CD which - if ticked - marks all the tracks as Part of a compilation. This becomes useful when the iPod and iTunes sort the album.
However - iTunes obtains the album information from a third-party database called Gracenote, which is compiled by the record label personel, artists and fans. Quiet often, you will find that an album of "Greatest Hits of <a band>" will be marked as a compilation. I don't think it is, and neither does iTunes. So if you are importing a "Greatest Hits of xxx artist" album, make sure that the Compilation box is off (no tick-in-the-box). Likewise, an album by "an artist", but with a guest artist on one or two tracks is not a compilation.
One final point; if you import a true Compilation album, with each track by a different artist, then once it is imported, make sure that the Album Artist field says "Various Artists". You do this by highlighting the complete album in your library and selecting File/Get Info/Info>Album Artist which is the box immediately below the Artist box and typing in "Various Artists". This will help you when sorting and searching albums on your iPod.

Why did all my music on my iphone get erased when i tried to sync to the iTunes on my new laptop?

why did all my music on my iphone get erased when i tried to sync to the iTunes on my new laptop?

As a rule syncing is one way, from the library to the device. There should have been a warning that media content on the device would be removed and replaced with that in the local library. If the content were still on the device it could be recovered with the steps in Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. You can redownload your qualifying past purchases from the iTunes Store, Amazon store, etc. Do you have the previous computer your device synced with, or a backup, from which the library could be recovered?

What does it mean when you get a "The iTunes library file cannot be saved. There is not enought memory available." ? And what can I do to correct it?

Well, I installed the latest iTunes this AM, works perfectly. Although for some reason it did lock up after playing a song today.
Horror stories? That's a bit overly dramatic.
No, it isn't.
The issue you are experiencing is one that has occurred in multiple versions of iTunes, a simple search would have revealed this.
A simple search was conducted, no one seemed to have an answer. Do you always adopt such a haughty attitude? Or was I just lucky.

That means that if you use online maps, it will consume data. If you're on WiFi, no worries. If you are on cellular data, then it will eat into your cellular data plan.

What gets copied when you copy a warehouse?

Hi
We are debating whether to copy one of our existing warehouses or the SAP standard for our new warehouse setup.
Does someone know what are the things that get copied when you copy a warehouse ? (eg storage types , Storage locations etc.... ) Would any customized transactions that we have in our existing warehouse be copied ( eg: customized RF transactions etc)
Please advise.
Thanks

Hi,
It copies only standard warehouse structure. It will not copy customized ones.
Thanks,
DV

HT201342 Can I get my old pic back the one get erased when I rest my phone

Can I get my old pic back the one get erased when I rest my phone

You can if it was in your camera roll when you last backed up to iCloud, but you will have to restore the entire backup to recover it (not just photos). If you want to do this, it has to be done in the initial setup process. If you have any data on your phone now that is not in the backup that you want to save you'll need to do that first. Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. You will then go through the setup screens as you did when the phone was new. When given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below). Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

What does it mean when you computer crashes and when you turn it back on it shows you a blank blue screen with a little folder and a question mark in the middle?

What does it mean when you computer crashes and when you turn it back on it shows you a blank blue screen with a little folder and a question mark in the middle? It's a old imac from 1997.

I don't have original discs that it came with.
Then you still can use the second option with the keyboard combo I posted, called "resetting the PRAM."
Also when you way hold the c key down do you mean turn computer off and turn back on holding the c key?
Yes, or you can simply restart. As you don't have the CDs, this isn't on the plate any more.
The internal backup battery is not expensive and, in most iMacs is user-replacable. If yours has a tray-loading optical drive like this one:
it takes a major teardown to replace the internal battery. If this is the case, you'd be better off to leave the computer plugged in all the time; that eliminates the main reason for having a working battery.
If it has a slot-loading optical drive like this one:
things are much easier. The battery is visible through the RAM access door on the bottom of the computer case. The manual:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iMacG3_2000UserManual.PDF
has sketches of how to access the RAM and therefore the backup battery. Unfortunately, the pdf on the manual goes up sideways on-screen and the RAM instructions are pretty deep into the manual. It's probably easier to scroll (for a while) to the section on adding RAM and print the applicable pages.
When you work on the battery, some sort of non-conductive pliers or large tweezer or forceps help unless you have tiny fingers. Make sure to note the polarity of the old battery and install the new one in the same orientation.
The battery itself is readily available. If price is no oblect, you can get it for a small rasom from Radio Shack Store ("Tandy" outside the US) as part number 23-026.
Online, they are dirt-cheap even after adding shipping. I buy backup batteries form this outfit:

What happens to objects when you redeclare a new object?

... and is there a more proper way of "deleting" them from memory, or is it a case of waiting until the garbage collector in java sweeps them up?
i.e.
private CustomObjectType myObject;
public final void myMethod() {
myObject = new CustomObjectType("I am the first object");
// do some temporary work with myObject
/// now I need to do more work with another temporary object, so just replace the "link"
myObject = new CustomObjectType("I am a second object");
Is it better to declare new variables to hold this second object?
Should a person declare the object to be null when no longer required?
Do I ever need to worry about this, does the garbage collector sort out references for me?
(Please go easy, still learning and don't really need to know this right now but I'm curious! :)

What happens to objects when you redeclare a new object?If you go:
Dog myDog = new Dog();
and then go:
Dog myDog = new Dog();
you are replacing the first reference to Dog() with another one. I don't think it would make sense to do this because it is redundant.
But if you go:
static Dog myDog = new Dog();
and then go:
static Dog myDog = new Dog();
then then second one will be ignored because the first one already assigned Dog() to myDog.. so the second one won't replace the first one - it will just be ignored or generate an error.
is there a more proper way of "deleting" them from memory, or is it a case of waiting until the garbage collector in java sweeps them up?In c and c++ you have to think about when the life of an object ends and destroy the object to prevent a memory leak. But in Java the garbage collector takes this task on if a certain amount of memory is used. If you don't use a lot of memory the gc won't bother and the objects will be destroyed when you exit the program.
You can use:
finalize(){
// insert code to be executed before the gc cleans up
and if you call System.gc() (which you probably won't need to do) then the code in the finalize() method will run first e.g. to erase a picture from the screen before collecting the object.
private CustomObjectType myObject;public final void myMethod() {
myObject = new CustomObjectType("I am the first object");
// do some temporary work with myObject
/// now I need to do more work with another temporary object, so just replace the "link"
myObject = new CustomObjectType("I am a second object");
you could do:
public class CustomObjectType{
    //this constructs an instance of the class using a string of your choice
    CustomObjectType(String str) {
        System.out.println(str);
    static void main(String[] args){
        CustomObjectType myObject = new CustomObjectType("I am the first object");// This sends the constructor the string you want it to print
        CustomObjectType myObject2 = new CustomObjectType("I am the second object");// This sends the constructor the string you want it to print
}Bruce eckel wrote Thinking in Java 4th edition considered to be the best book on Java because of how much depth he goes into, although some recommend you should have atleast basic programming knowledge and a committment to learn to get through the book.
I just started it and it helps a lot. Maybe u could borrow it from the library.. good luck!

When you delete an app from your homescreen it is still in the cloud, does that mean you still have the app, and how do you get it back on to the home screen

When you delete an app from your homescreen it is still in the cloud, does that mean you still have the app, and how do you get it back on to the home screen. new to ipad so do not know much. Anybody know.p

As long as the app remains in the store then you can re-download it via the Purchased tab in the App Store app, or via the Purchased Link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
Similarly ibooks can be re-downloaded, and depending upon what country that you are in then music, films and tv shows may also be re-downloadable (if they remain available in the store).
