HT4527 Is there any way to copy content of iPod to an external drive without having the Id and password on the device?

I am afraid I will lose content if I plug in to my laptop. I have aquired a used iPod Classic and want to keep some of the content on my external drive to merge with my existing account. Is there any way to do so. All of my research points to needing to authorize my computer first, but I do not have that info. Thanks for any help.

You are not entitled to the content of the device. Wipe it out and start afresh.

I moved all my music from c: drive(because it was full) to an external harddrive and now itunes can't find any of my music. Is there a way to get Itunes to find music on external drive without having to place all the music back onto the c: drive? Thanks

Hopefully you moved the entire iTunes Media (or iTunes Music) folder to a new path on your external drive. Copy your iTunes library folder out to the root of the external drive, e.g. X:\iTunes (where X: is your external drive), then move the media folder inside it. Hold down shift as you start iTUnes and keep holding untila asked to choose or create a library. Choose the library at X:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl. Should all be good.
Failing that, download and run my FindTracks script and point it at the new location of your media folder.

Is there any way that I can have songs in an iTunes Playlist without having the songs play in my regular music list. For instance: can I have a Playlist of Christmas songs without having them play in the routine shuffle of my music library? Thanks -Rog

Select the songs, press CTRL+I to Get Info, on the Options tab set Skip when shuffling to Yes.
If you want to the hide the songs from your main music view you could consider changing the media kind to audiobooks or podcasts if you don't mind the side effect of them showing up there instead.

Is there a way to paste content from one ID doc to another without importing the styles?

Hi all,
I often work with transferring content over from one catalog to another...each catalog has a completely different set of styles. Since I am an organization freak and like to keep things as organized as possible, it drives me crazy when all of the styles from the other ID doc are transferred over into my my new document. What I used to do was delete all of the styles from the catalog I was copying over from and save a copy like that simply for the use of copying information over (so that no styles were brought over), but I am currently working with copying over content from multiple catalogs that were built in InDesign and it will take me forever deleting all of the styles in those documents.
Normally it is a GOOD thing when styles are copied over, but not in this case. It is not important that format is carried over either...I just want the content. Normally I will grab a bunch of content (tables, text boxes and images) at a time to copy over. I amjust not able to use "Paste without formatting" either:( It is greyed out. I very often use the "Paste without formatting" when pasting in text by itself into a text block and that works great! But is there any way I can do something similar with a bunch of contents that are being pasted? Or even if I just want to paste a text block or two?
Help?
Thank you so much in advance for your help:)
Best,
Christine

Mary and Peter,
Thank you both so much for your input...those are both really great ideas! I had actually not known about the ability to "break the link" to the styles... I must have missed seeing that all this time I have been using InDesign...that is really useful!! And I also like the ideas of renaming the styles...I will have to see what works best tomorrow as I continue on. There are just soooooo many different styles involved that renaming them may not be feasible in this particular instance so I may need to just "break the links"....but then I just remembered that there are lots of table styles, cell styles and character/paragraph styles linked with the tables alone that I have to copy over....grrrrr. (making my hair stand on end thinking of it...lol)
Isn't there a way to break the links to EVERY style linked to one selected item (break the link to all table/cell/character/paragraph/object styles in one fell swoop) ?

Is there any way to log in to active directory from a mac without joining the AD domain?

I am looking for a way to log in to active directory without having the Mac join the AD domain. Basically i have not been able to understand all the ramifications of joining the AD domain. From what I have read in various documentations on the apple site and some of the AD plug in sites, it seems that if the mac joins the domain, all kinds of group policies get 'transfered' to the mac experience. How exactly does that affect the privileges of the local mac user on their machine? do they need to change their mac password? what happens to their existing home directories? what happens when they have their laptops at home?
TIA

The reason i am hesitant about binding the macs is that i'm not sure what are all the effects of that. will they have to change their mac passwords / usernames? more than likely the auto login will have to go. If there are multiple accounts on the mac (ex one admin account and other regular and admin accounts) how does binding affect them? how will it work when the mac is not in the office? if they have admin rights on the mac but not on the windows AD, how will that affect them? Do you know of a source i could go to to find answers for questions like these?
Unfortunately, the source for answers should be your IT department. I can tell you how my machine works. I have a personal machine with no restrictions and a work machine bound to an Active Directory domain. Even my work machine has few restrictions compared to normal. I have a privileged account I can use if necessary. Also, I'm pretty much a goody-two-shoes so I don't try to circumvent restrictions.
Basically, the Mac uses a system called Open Directory to manage user accounts. Every Mac comes with its own miniature Open Directory server. If you have a network with MacOS X Server, you can use the server's Open Directory. You can also use Microsoft's Active Directory to perform all the same tasks. The user's logins and passwords would be whatever is on Active Directory. They can change their password on the Mac and it will change the Active Directory password. Active Directory can enforce passwords expirations too.
I am not an Active Directory administrator, so I can't give you specifics. Pretty much everything you have mentioned can be controlled via Active Directory. That is what it is for. It does require active participation of your IT staff. If you don't have that, then I don't see it working out well. It sounds like a paradox. IT wants to control users, but doesn't want to deal with it. You can't have it both ways. Maybe let it be known among the Mac users that visiting those restricted sites could cause IT to get rid of Mac altogether. That does sound like a probable outcome.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Is there any way to copy content from my iPhone to a brand new Mac with a blank iTunes library?

Bit of background:
This time last week, I had a MacBook Air and a 6 year old desktop PC. Everything I had was on both of them, so they acted as each other's back up. This Sunday evening just gone, my PC finally died a traumatic death, and I can't even get it to boot from Safe Mode. Then on Monday while I was at work, my house was burgled, and my MacBook Air was stolen, amongst many other things. All I have now is my iPhone 4S which was with me at the time. All my music, photos, videos etc are on my iPhone, but I'm very aware that when I eventually get my replacement MacBook from our insurance company (I'm being realistic and accepting that I'll never see my stuff again), as soon as I plug my phone into a blank iTunes library, I'll lose everything that's on there. Obviously I can re-download everything I've purchased from iTunes, though it will take a VERY long time and I still won't have playlists etc, and I can probably either Dropbox or email what photos I have on there, but I have a lot of video clips from over the last few years that aren't on my camera roll - they're in the phone as proper videos, in the video player app, and I can't get Dropbox to view that location, or figure out how to email them. The videos are very important to me and I really don't want to lose them; so much so that I'm thinking of never syncing my iPhone ever again!
Basically, what I'm asking is, how can I copy everything from my iPhone into a blank iTunes library? Is it even possible?
ANY input whatsoever would be greatly appreciated - I really don't want to lose all my content over this, so please please please help if you can!
Thanks in advance

wjosten - thanks very much for the detailed instructions. I'll try this as soon as I get my replacement and it looks like you'll probably end up getting the green tick

HT201328 Is there any way to confirm that Iphone4 is unlocked from existing carrier without swapping the SIM card from new carrier ?

I have followed AT&T instructions to unlock the phone and don't have any micro-SIM handy to try it out.

Did you receive the message that says "Congratulations! Your phone is now unlocked etc. etc." after completing the restore of your phone?
If so; Then the phone is completely unlocked.
If not; Then the unlock has not completed correctly, in which case you should attempt restoring again, and then failing that, contact ATT to make sure the unlock has fully processed from their end

Is there any way to print multiple attachments from an Adobe PDF Portfolio without having to open each attachent individually?

We have a large PDF Portfolio with many attachments and would like to print those items all at once without opening every single attachment. I would think think that this is possible considering I took the files from outlook 2003 and you are able to print an email and its attachments in that program. If anyone knows how to do this, I would appreciate the help.

Portfolios only support the printing of PDF files (more specifically, PDF files whose security permissions allow printing). You can print all PDF files in a Portfolio without opening them all simply by opening the Portfolio and clicking on the print button in the Portfolio toolbar. If desired, you can also limit it to a selection of PDF files.
Unfortunately non-PDF files will need to be opened and printed individually from their respective apps.

Is there any way to copy proxy filed structures to ABAP field structure?

Hi All,
We are getting message from XI using inbound proxy and sending response asynchronously by outbound proxy.
my question: " is there any way to copy or to move incoming proxy fields to ABAP backend fields?"
for ex: we are getting Name structure from proxy wit fields firstname and lastname.
and proxy will generate some structures for name. backend ABAP system will have structure name with two fields having fname and lname as data elements.
so how can we directly move proxy fields to ABAP fields? ( here in example there are only two fields but real scenario we will have thousands of fields for which we cannot map manually from proxy fields to ABAP fields.)
please help me in this regard.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ujwalkumar

Hi Ujwalkumar,
if you have control over the proxy:
Create your interface at XI like the structure in backend system. Same structure and same fieldnames. If you regenerate your proxy you can use abap order "MOVE CORRESPONDING" to map all fields.

Udo

Is there any way to copy S.Variables via Maxl or Essbase

Guyz,
Is there any way to copy S.Variables from one App to another app via Maxl or Essbase.
Cheers
Cnee

you can copy substitution variables between different Essbase servers through Admin console.
At first you should be able to add both the essbase servers in the admin console.
Then you can copy the subst variables from one essbase server to other.
in subst variable window -> select copy -> select server, app, db -> select subst variable to be copied -> you can tick overwrite existing variables option if needed -> click OK.
the other way is to collect the subst variable information through maxl & then write maxl scripts to create the subst variables on the other server.
