HT4137 Will doing this erase old text messages? If so, is there any way to avoid losing them?
I just looked read iOS: How to back up your data and set up as a new device. I've been having a few bugs, but do not want to lose my old text messages. Will setting up as a new device and then syncing erase old text messages? If so, is there any way to avoid losing them?
You will not lose text message, if you back up your phone correctly and then restore from that backup. If your going to restore your phone as new and not from backup, then your text will not be there until you decide to restore from that backup.
If you don't want to lose the message, take a look in the app store to see if you can transfer to your computer.

My Droid Maxx deleted all my text messages by itself. I had all of them, got a phone call, and when I got off the call, all my texts where gone. Is there a way I can get them all back? I had a lot and some where really important to me. I turned the phone off and on again thinking that would bring them back because of some glitch but it didn't help. Does anyone know of a way to bring them all back?
It's very possible to get your messages back. Verizon Messages (app) from the Play Store has options both to restore and back up your messages. They can be downloaded as a file and saved on the device or SD card. By pulling the menu out from the left side and choosing "Restore Conversations", you can (hopefully) restore your lost messages but it says for 90 days. I hope this doesn't reach you too late.

If I am planning on buying a macbook and my parent is an educator, therefor I would get a discount... If my parent does not come with me to buy it is there any way that I can still receive the discount?
If you are a college student and take a student ID you will get the education discount. If you are a student in public or private high school and have a student ID you may get the discount. I know of some parents/students who claim to have gotten the discount and some who have been denied it. Not sure if that's due to a policy change or just a difference in interpretation of who is eligible. I suggest you call your local store to find out.

i shifted from a windows to a mac.. I want to add songs to my ipod tpuch 4th gen.. but if i try to sync with itunes it says my songs will be replaced by the new songs.. Is there any way that i can have my previous data safe??
Your iPod can only be synced with one computer at a time. If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, it will replace the contents of the iPod with whatever is in the new library. You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabling the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
Before doing anything else, authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account. In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials. Either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.
Then right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
iOS: How to back up
Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc. For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases. For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier. Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
If you do happen to lose any purchased content, you can always redownload it from the iTunes Store again at no cost via iCloud. See this article for information.

I was syncing everything to itunes and I tried to do my contacts, not knowing quite how. I ended up erasing all of them from my phone without any of them syncing to my computer or itunes. Is there any way I can get them back? I really need them all.
There are lots of ideas floating on the web for this particular issue - all of which I tried. I had the same problem and it turned out to be my USB cable. I thought the cable was fine as it would charge my phone and play but the data transfer pin was bent. I replaced the cable and it fixed the problem. Worth a shot as it is an easy fix!

After upgrading to OS Mavericks, I realized that the Partition for Windows is gone. I have really important data on this drive without a back up. Is there any way I can get this data before reformatting. Is there any third party software for receiving the data or any possible way? Money is not a limitation to this fix. Please help!!!

i connected my iphone to the computer to charge it and itunes backed it up with an old version of my ipod so I lost all my photographs. Is there any way I can get them back?
Seems that you can no longer hide them on your phone. Try doing so in iTunes: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919.

I have an iMac running Mavericks 10.9.4 I also have about 30 Kodack photo CDs that I wish to convert from PCD to Jpeg but Mavericks will not see the files, they are grey. Is there any way to convert them or must I do it on another machine?
KaibiliPhoto used to support the PCD format up to a few years ago. It's extremely frustrating that Apple decided to no longer support this format and now I'm directed to pay nearly $40 for an app that will (GraphicConverter 9). Did Lemke Software make a deal with Apple so we'd have to pay a premium for a very overpriced converter? And, how are decisions like this supposed to encourage the use of iPhoto?
Apple users already pay a premium to use a Mac. Obstacles like these eventually destroy loyalty to the Apple brand. Just ask Microsoft how their back room deals that exploited their customer base worked out for them. -
I have an old sony Mavica MVC-CD500 is there any way I can download pictures from cd to Lion
I have an old Sony Mavica MVC-CD500 - is there any way I can download cd to imac running Lion
If you use iPhoto, just insert the CD into your optical disc drive, wait for iPhoto to see the disc and open on its own.
iPhoto will load previews of all of your images from the disc.
In the lower right hand corner of iPhoto's application window, click the Import All button and iPhoto will begin downloading the images into iPhoto.

What version of iPhoto are you using? -
When I have iCloud Backup ON, the battery runs down on my iphone really really quickly. Is there any way of avoiding this. I want to backup my iphone but don't want to be recharging all day. Many thanks
Are you sure the iCloud backup is causing this? Unless you initiate an iCloud backup manually, it will only back up once per day when the phone is connected to your charger and wi-fi and has the screen locked. It shouldn't otherwise be consuming any power.

By default, Teststand will not include the test step result in subsequence, is there any way to include these step results in report?
Thanks
JackyHi,
If your subsequence is in a separate sequencefile, then check the properties of the sequencefile to make sure that the record has not been disabled.

virus protection in vmware or on my running OS X 10.8.2??plz help me out
First, you can install Microsoft's Security Essentials in the Win 7 VM and keep it up-to-date. Second, you can turn off Sharing in Fusion's System Settings to keep the VM environment separate from your Mac. Third, you can look into Sophos Anti-Virus http://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/free-tools/sophos-antivirus-for-mac-home-ed ition/download.aspx for the Mac host. -
