HT1766 Do I get to choose which backup date to restore IPAD from?

When I restore my IPAD do I get to choose which date to restore from?

If you have multiple backups available.
I think I remember your first post ..... Launch iTunes on your computer and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. You can see all of your iPad backups in there that are available for you to restore from.
You can also connect the iPad to the computer - launch iTunes - right click on the iPad name on the left under devices - and select restore from backup. A window will pop up with a drop down menu and you can pick from all of the backups that you have to choose from.

Can I choose which backup file to restore?

Just lost my data off my 3GS, which would hang during the backup, sync, upgrade process every time I tried to go from OS 3 to 4 in the past 6 mos or so.
Went to Apple store, decided to just trash everything, restart on OS 4 and just use most recent successful backup to restore. Ended up upgrading to an iPhone 4 instead...
Came home and looked up my .mdbackup files and there are three of the them. May, October and November of 2010. I plugged in my new phone, hoping to access the most recent backup and it shows only the May one.
Is there any way to access and restore to what appears to be the most recent November backup file?
Thanks.

Thanks Barney - is it really that simple? I didn't think to do that. Will try that this evening. Appreciated.

When I click a backup date to restore bookmarks from backup, get error message "unable to process the backup file". unable to successfully copy bookmarks from default profile to new profile, nor access the backup function successfully. any suggestions?

I had trouble with WiseStamp and was advised to create a new profile. I did and the WiseStamp issue was resolved. However, I now have no bookmarks on the new profile. I copied the places. file from the old profile to the new one, but with no success. The bookmarks do exist on the old profile. I like having WiseStamp working, but need those multitude of bookmarks more! Any advice greatly appreciated. :)

Did you try to restore from another JSON backup?
You can try to move places.sqlite to another location and only leave that backup file in the bookmarkbackups folder.

Then do so.
How many backups do you have?
Note that a new backup is created only when you restore the iPhone.

HT1436 I have two hard drives on my G5(2004). How do I get to choose which hard drive is the start up disk when I turn on the computer? Is it the shift key I hold down?

I have two hard drives on my G5(2004). How do I get to choose which hard drive is the start up disk when I turn on the computer? Is it the shift key I hold down?

depending on which model of G5 and OS installed will depend on whether a key command will work
alt at start up may work, if it does not, use the start up disc setting in;
apple menu > system preferences > system > start up disc
of course, the second drive must have a compatible OS installed for it to be able to boot.

How do i get a wifi connection at home for my ipad from a imac

how do i get a wifi connection at home for my ipad from a imac

If you have a wired connection to the iMac and you are asking about using the iMac for the Internet connection for the iPad, you will need to use Internet Sharing on the Mac.
No clue which OS version you run on the Mac, but here is a link to help with 10.6 and this will get you started. You can Google " Internet sharing with Mac OS ...." and come up with a number of support articles.

RESTORE iPAD FROM SPECIFIC BACKUP

Hi guys,
I am currently running 4.2.1. WIth the hype of the new 4.2.1, I synched my iPad quite a few times. As a result, many backups were created. The problem is, I deleted a VERY important Note just after my first backup. I tried to restore the iPad form the backup, but iTunes only gives me the five or so most recent backups as options. I already Googled around and found the directory for the backups (User/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup), but there are many weird named folder and I cannot which one is from which time. Also, if I were to find the correct backup, how do I restore from that one?
Summary:
1) Please explain to me how to recognize the date (more precisely, hour) each backup was made
2) Please explain to me how to restore form that specific backup.
Thanks!
iPad1,1 64GB WiFi-Only, 4.2.1 iOS

Are you sure you actually have the backup files on your computer? They are located at:
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
As part of your computer's regular backup routine (assuming you have one) you should include this folder to ensure that you can always restore iPad from backup file (i.e. a backup to the backup).

Can I choose which backup for Time Machine to use if I have backups from two macs on one drive?

I have Time Machine backup on an external drive. I want to mirgrate all my files onto the new Mac Pro but migration is getting hung up and cant find the drive. Can I set up Time Machine for the new mac on this same drive and then select the old macs backup from within Time Machine?

Most likely, some folders were excluded from your backups as the result of a failed or aborted software installation.
Starting from a clean installation of OS X, set up a new administrator account and log in. Enter Time Machine and press the key combination shift-command-C. The front window will show all mounted volumes. All snapshots should now be accessible.* Select the one you want and navigate to your home folder (in the Users folder at the top level of the old startup volume.)
You should now be able to restore your user data. I suggest you do this in two stages. Quit all applications except the Finder before you begin.
Restore all the visible items at the top level of your home folder.
Hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar. Enter Time Machine and restore all items in the Library folder. Log out and log back in as soon as the restore is complete.
Any other invisible folders or files at the top level of your home folder that you want to preserve will have to be restored separately. For most users, that isn't necessary.
You'll have to reinstall all third-party applications from scratch, or restore them from another kind of backup, if you have one.
You'll have another problem if this is a new computer, or if you erased the startup volume: The next time you back up, Time Machine won't recognize any files as being the same as they were before, and will make a full copy of all files. There might not be enough space on one or more of your backup volumes for that. There are different ways of dealing with that situation, depending on your needs. The easiest way is to set your backup drives aside, if possible, until you're sure you'll no longer need the data on them, then erase them and start over. Meanwhile start a new backup on one or more empty storage devices. If that solution isn't workable for you, ask for instructions.
*If you don't see any snapshots in Time Machine, exit the time-travel view and then hold down the option key while selecting
Browse Other Backup Disks...
from the Time Machine menu, which has an icon that looks like a clock running backwards. Select the backups of your computer by its previous name. If you don't have the Time Machine menu, open the Time Machine preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked
Show Time Machine in menu bar

Choosing which backups to "reuse" in Time Machine?

I am using an external 500 Gb hard drive to back up my Macbook via Time Machine.
I just replaced the Macbook's motherboard for the second time (making it the third board for this Macbook, including the original). When I replaced the original board (this was before snowleopard), I created a new backup set on the same hard drive. So there are two sets of backups for my Macbook, one called "mike" (linked to the original motherboard) and another called "mike 2" (linked to the second motherboard).
I now have snowleopard, which allows you to "reuse" previous backups. With the third motherboard installed and the "reuse" option checked, TM tries to backup to "mike". But because I have not been using "mike" since I replaced the first motherboard in 2008, there is a lot to back up. There is not enough room on the hard disk for that. However, if I could get TM to use "mike 2", the most current set (which I've been using since I installed the second motherboard), there would be plenty of room on the hard disk.
How do I tell TM which backup set to use? Alternatively, how do I delete "mike"? I tried deleting it as root, but I get "not allowed" (which I find extremely annoying, btw).

That's correct. You should never change, move, or delete anything in your backups except via TM, as that can hopelessly corrupt them. That's why TM uses special "deny everybody everything" permissions on them.
The problem is, the first set of backups are "abandoned." TM won't delete any of those backups when it needs room for new ones, since it thinks they're for a different Mac.
You have two options, both unattractive:
Manually delete all the backups in the old set, one at a time, per #12 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.
Erase the TM drive with Disk Utility and let TM start fresh.

LBWR gets runtime error display backup data

We are getting a runtime error "IMPORT_WRONG_END_POS" in program RMBWV3RE when we try to "dispay the data in the backup table" for logistics extractor 2LIS_46_SCL.
We have enhanced the extract structure several times since we did our initial LBWR customizing. Could it be that there is backup data still in the LBWR queue that is in the old format? Can we delete the backup queue?
Regards,
Mike Wagner

Francisco,
I check and those notes have already been applied to our system.
I did find a blog "A Safety Belt for Logistics Extraction Queues" by Bernd Sieger which is dedicated to LBWR.
/people/bernd.sieger/blog/2007/05/07/a-safety-belt-for-logistics-extraction-queues
Bernd gave me a couple of hints on how to fix the problem. I ended up writing an ABAP program to delete the contents of the queue for my logistics extractor 2LIS_46_SCL.
After clearing old records, the data display work fine now.
Regards,
Mike Wagner

How to get a handle which is used in c dll from javax.smartcardio.card

good afternoon
i am using javax.smartcardio.card to operate a sim-card reader .
but i have a dll which is call sim-card reader by handle.
how can i get a handle from a javax.smartcardio.card object to pass to the dll
next is the code .
c dll prototype declaration
char DoFormat([in] unsigned long P1�C[in] char * P2�C[in] bool P3,[in][out] char *P4)P1 is a handle
java code:
private boolean checkCardReader(boolean isopen)
boolean r=false;
try {
javax.smartcardio.card card;
TerminalFactory factory = TerminalFactory.getDefault();
List terminalList = factory.terminals().list();
terminal = (CardTerminal) terminalList.get(0);
// establish a connection with the card
card = terminal.connect("T=0");
channel = card.getBasicChannel();
//how can i get a handle which can be used by windows dll .
}catch (Exception ex)
System.out.println("Exception : " + ex);
return r;
*****************************************************************

Presumably you are calling a C library method that returns a handle.
Normally a handle will be a integer type value.
With such a value you can cast it into a java integer type and then cast it back in different JNI code by passing it to those routines.
A java long is as big as you can get and will hold most every normal type handle item. You should however verify sizes.

When using Multicam in CS6 how do I choose which source file the audio comes from?

I've noticed when using the Multi-cam window to create edits, the audio does not change when I select the different video sources. How do I select which source file the audio comes from?

It doesn't make sense why the multicam source sequence only uses one track of audio. Was this by design? The issue with this as in my situation (and because I didn't know this) I recorded all my source videos with the music tracks on the right side which is what I'm using to cut my video with. Not being able to hear this while I'm cutting is really frustrating. There's a reason I separate dialog on the left side and music on the right. There should at a minimum be an option while setting up the multicam to choose more audio options. Even in the audio clip option settings, those don't seem to work when a clip is put into a multicam source sequence.
The other issue is when you bring in the audio after the fact or even before, there's no way to sync timecode with audio to the multicam sequence. When I create the Multicam source sequences in my project bin, I choose sync with timecode, not in points, because the record decks I'm using are all locked with a TC gen during the shoot.
Maybe I'm missing something, but there seems to be either a bug with multicam or a design flaw. Even in the help documentation, it states multiple audio tracks can be brought in with the multicam sequence, but only track one is enabled by default. I've never been able to have the MC sequence bring in more than one track of audio no matter what the audio settings are.

Restoring iPad from iPhone backup to get rid of 'Other'

I have a 32GB iPad 2 and an iPhone 4. In Itunes the iPad shows 5.99GB of 'Other' which I have been unable to ascertain exactly what this comprises of although a search of these forums indicates it may be corrupted material.
In the hope of regaining the 5.99Gb (or at least some of it) I am thinking of restoring the iPad from my iPhone 4 backup which has 2.35GB of 'Other'. This will at least release 3.6GB of space (if it works).
Any comments or suggestions about the feasibility doing of this? There seems to be conflicting views on the Internet so some comments would be appreciated.

Restore iPad from older backup

I had my iPad wiped while on vacation because the wrong access code was entered too many times. (lesson #1: unpair bluetooth keyboard from iPad before throwing them in a bag). So my only option was to wipe everything and restore as new. Now being back home, I wanted to restore from the backup I had made on iTunes just before I left. Unfortunately, I did not check the "Prevent iPods etc from syncing automatically" in iTunes prior to plugging my iPad (lesson #2), so iTunes did a backup before I could realize what was happening. So now, I have only one backup available: the one just made, which is useless.
I do regular backups of my mac with Time Machine, so I'm hoping there's a way to get the older backup by accessing the files on TM. Only I have no clue where to look or what to look for. Help please?
Thanks!

If you find the backup, you should be able to restore it To the iPad.

Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press Return.
