I'm not stupid...but

I'm very confused by itunes and syncing to my iPod Touch 2G. It seems that you must sync everything each time you want to add something to your iPod? If I don't it wipes clean everything except what you are adding. Can anyone help by explaining which boxes to check in the summary screen. Man
ally manage? Sync only checked? Automatically sync?
I cannot seem to find a satisfactory combination of checked boxes to allow me to only add to my already loaded iTunes media without deleting other loaded media.
Please advise...

1) Sync Music - All songs and Playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod/iPhone. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method. You'll find this option in the Music Tab.
2) Sync Music - Selected playlists. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod/iPhone when you connect it to the computer. You'll find this option in the Music Tab.
3) Manually manage music and videos. You can choose to transfer music to the iPod/iPhone manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod/iPhone. You'll find this option in the Summary Tab.
4). Only sync checked items, with this option you select what to sync by unchecking items in your iTunes library that you don't want on the iPod/iPhone. This option is in the Summary tab.
Using unchecking to manage an iPod/iPhone is an option but only if you can live with the other things unchecking does:
Unchecked songs will be skipped when playing songs from the library or a selection. They will only play when individually clicked on.
Smart Playlists have an option that unchecked songs won't appear.
Unchecked songs will not be burned to CD.
Neither Genius nor iTunesDJ will use the songs that are unchecked.

Not Stupid but it seems I need step by set instructions to load my music

I already put the question out there that I am mad that Verizon is making me add all these extra programs in order to get my music downloaded. I had a couple guys advise that I didn't need to go through the media manager and that I could transfer my itunes files over as long as I have the USB cable. Well, I do and I have been doing everything within my power to get this accomplished and I am truly NOT STUPID!! Will someone please give me a step by step so that I can finally load my music on my Droid Incredible???? Thank you Thank you, Thank you

@luvmybulldogs, There are some responses on your last post (including mine). Please take a look at that original post.

Oops! Sorry did not read it all! If you are looking to sync with iTunes, i think you will need doubleTwist app from the market. You will also need to download their desktop version and install it. When you set it up, it will prompt you to configure iTunes so that it can sync music from iTunes to your phone via doubleTwist.
Hope this helps!

I'm not stupid but..getting guitar to play??

I have followed all advice here and other forums about getting my electric guitar
to play in GB 09 here's waht i have done.
Bought 1/4 to 1/8 adapter to connect guitar to input at the back of my Mac Mini 1.83 in the connection next to output for speakers.
Went into GB preferences and audio/midi section and changed audio input to built-in-input and audio output to built-in-output.
Opened up new track and clicked electric guitar, create, selected clean combo (default) then clicked edit and input source/mono 1 then monitor on with feedback protection.
It seems this is the way to go but i get nada, zilch not a sausage no sound no recognition i am even connected with my guitar i have checked the lead and it is working in my standard marshal amp so i am flumoxed as to what it might be. It's a brand new adapter just out of the package so i presume it's not that
I am saving for a M-Audio Fast Track USB Recording Interface as i know sound is pretty bad just plugging straight in to the input but at this stage any sound would be good.
Please help and thank you.

I have done all of the above no wave form, it seems not to even regognise that i have plugged in the guitar at all i have guitar track selected not real instrument as i am using GB 09. I have tried mono 2 as input source. I am using a Mac Mini i.83 so i presume this has inbuilt preamp. Thank you all for taking time to respond but i am still in the dark as what to do.
Any other advice??

What can I do if not one but two different supervisors have promised to call me back but have not?

We had 4 lines and shared 6Gb/1Gb promotional of data. Bill was appoximately $290 after receiving an employee discount through my employer of
22% on the plan (does not apply to the individual lines).
To make a long story short my wife called early in September about adding our oldest daughter back to our plan. She spoke with a representative by the name of Devin who told her that our bill would NOT go up but instead would go down automatically once we moved to a plan with 10Gb and that the bill would be approximately $225-235 per month for the 5 lines.
September 15th before adding my daughter we called again to verify the charges and finding out what we had to do to add her back. This representative also told me the bill would be $235 per month but couldn't explain why - she did see that it was in the notes.   I was also was told that it was best to add her the night after her employer plan stopped covering her phone.
September 18th before adding her we called to find out what we had to do to add her back.   This rep repeated what the others had said about the upcoming monthly charges.
The following Monday or Tuesday I called and talked with yet another representative trying to discover what was the reason for the bill dropping so significantly. The lady I spoke with indicated that we were to get a $22 (NOT $25) discount per line. I know its an odd figure thats why I remember it.
Sep 26th - called and spoke with representative who told me that we woud NOT be getting any discounts. I then spoke with a supervisor (Derrick) who explained that we should have already been getting $25 off for two of the lines and gave us credit for 1 month charges but nothing else.   I asked him to pull the recordings - he said give him a week to investigate and make it right.
Oct 3rd - a week later - Derrick missed the callback.
Oct 4th - called and was advised that they had no way to get in touch with Derrick other than sending a message (I have to admit the gentleman was extremely pleasant - one of the better reps I've encountered) - said as much to his supervisor.
Oct 11th - talked with Priscilla and then her supervisor who said that one of the reps was her employee - would talk with her/pull the recording and call me back in an hour. She never called back.
We never asked for any discount - it was a Verizon employee that told my wife that the bill would go down to $230. Not once but 4 different times. Two supervisors promised they would pull the recordings and call us back but never did.
I'm not stupid - If the recordings proved that we made this up or that Verizon had NOT told us that the bill would go down to $230 then they
would have called back and rubbed it in my face.   By them not calling back I know that they have discovered that we have stated the facts as
accurately as we can remember and have not made this up.
Is there anyone at Verizon that can resolve this situation to our satisfaction? There's a lot of difference between the promised $110 discount and the $50 indicated by Derrick.

Don't worry you will not hear back if it's anything like my last few interaction with this company good luck. Oh you may have one of these online CSR tell you they are here to help but that just a smoke screen.

Annoying Mail problem -- Mail thinks it's not connected, but it is.

My mail.app shows warning icons (grayed out exclamation points) to the right of each of my email accounts. Even though I am able to receive/send, mail seems to think the connection is not working. When I click on the icon, it reads:
*There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account “(accountname)” or try again.*
*The server error encountered was: The attempt to read data from the server “(servername.com)” failed.*
The stupid thing about this is, it's connected, and I'm getting my mail. On occasion, one of the accounts will get grayed out and seemingly be not connected, but for the most part, I am able to send and receive mail fine.
All of my accounts are IMAP and I am using port 26 to send since my ISP blocks port 25, and I've been doing this with no problems for years...now all of a sudden it's become a problem.
-Ken

I am having a very similar problem with Mail.app and four IMAP accounts, checking every minute.
I'm getting those little grey exclamation warning triangles and it's not consistent which one appears. Sometimes even two appear.
I can reliably send e-mail from a grey account, which automatically turns the warning off, but checking e-mail on an account that has gone grey doesn't work.
Connection doctor reliably shows green lights all the way. The only workaround I've found is to "Go offline" and then "Go online" ... this seems to temporarily clear the clog but it's not a real solution.
I've tried restarting, etc. but this issue hasn't gone away. Perhaps this is an issue that has cropped up in a recent update?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Not great, but one Lion solution

Still being new to Mac (about 2 years overall, little more than 1 as my primary business computer), I still tend to approach a lot of things from a PC perspective. Especially anything new – the old PC rule “Never install v1.0 of anything” continues to serve me well. And that is exponentially higher when it comes to a new OS.
I had looked forward to Lion for several reasons – the biggest being the rumor it would include a full-up Windows emulator and I could junk Parallels and Win7, that virtual computer being the source of nearly all the problems I've ever had with my iMac (27" i5 w/8GB RAM – soon to be 16 – and 1TB HD).
Alas, Lion failed on that score. But I still planned to install it – as soon as it became 10.7.2, as it now is. But before installing anything, I always check the user forums. And despite Apple claiming a 4.5 out of 5 star customer satisfaction rating, almost every message I read was in the 1 or 2 star range. What really caught my attention was when users began to call it MacVista – Vista having been the proverbial straw that sent me to Apple in the first place.
Even some AppleCare and Genius Bar techs agree – this OS is a PITA – and I don't mean Greek flatbread. Apparently, it won't work with anything except the latest 60-bit versions of any software. Got something 32-bit – or more than a year old? Tough. I even had one Apple rep tell me that flat out, saying, "Well, you were going to have to update your software sooner or later anyway, so why not now?"
Mostly because I prefer picking my own timetable for things that are going to cost me thousands of dollars and take days or weeks to install and learn (even programs you've used for years are going to have major changes running 64-bit on Lion, even if you were running them 64-bit on Snow Leopard).
I wanted to get the Win7 vc off my iMac, moving Windows programs I must have, but have no Mac version, to a new Win7 desktop I have installed next to my iMac (something I swore I would never, ever do again). Now I can't even trust my "old" Mac software will work.
So I have come up with a typical PC-user solution – not one I like, but one I hope will work: Cut my 1TB drive in half, with one partition retaining Snow Leopard and my current configuration as is; in the other, Lion and whatever programs specific to it I want to try, one at a time, on my own timetable – beginning, alas, with Parallels 7, which I bought before discovering it really only works with Lion.
This would, of course, be a dual-boot configuration, which means I can't cut and paste between the Lion and Snow Leopard partitions. Enter Drop Box, which will keep all files from both OS drives current online – and on the rest of my network – in real time.
Not the most elegant solution in the world, but I think – hope – pray – it will work. I'll let you know – and I hope anyone with a better solution will share, as well.

Not sure who you have been talking with the past couple of years, but the "Lion will have a Windows emulator" rumor was one of the most common I encountered after making the move from PC to Mac. And, no, it had nothing to do with Boot Camp.
I brought my dual boot idea here to both offer it up as a possibility to others and to seek advice/response from those who may already have tried it. As someone who has been working with computers since 1967 (when the computer was the building), wrote a bi-weekly hardware/software review column for regional and national magazines for 25 years and built three PCs from scratch - and still do a lot of writing about military computers - I consider myself to be relatively well-versed overall, but still new and relatively ignorant about Macs.
Yes, those who post to forums and blogs tend to be those with problems, which skews the impression to the negative. And the vast majority of problems they raise are what we used to call "operator error" at UPI (back when there really was a UPI). But the problems are real for them and they usually come to places such as this for help.
Every user, every configuration, is different. It turns out a lot of my problems were due to a slowly dying iMac hard drive, which was replaced a few days ago. But I have to question your apparent attitude (and by "your", I refer not just to Lupunus) that all - or at least the vast majority - of problems people have with Lion are operator errors.
Why? Because every AppleCare tech with whom I have spoken - and every Genius Bar tech, for that matter - agrees there are serious compatibility problems and those switching to Lion should only do so if they, 1) have another computer on which to do important work and 2) are ready, willing and able to spend a lot of money on new versions of software they already have - and lose forever some programs, even those specific to previous versions of the Mac OS.
As noted, I'm still new to Mac and still shaking off a quarter century-plus of PC. But, contrary to what I had expected, I am now a solid Mac supporter, from the overall quality and reliability of the hardware - and software - to, especially, the incredible level of support Apple provides (without charging you a king's ransom for the privilege). That does not mean Apple is perfect nor Lion is without problems, which Apple seems to be working hard to fix, whether internally or in concert with third party providers, as appropriate.
But I will be exceedingly disappointed if user forums such as this one reject or belittle any problem raised - even if asking about a rumor or some misinformation picked up elsewhere - by any other Mac user at any level of experience. It's not a question of people being thin-skinned - or stupid - but of those with more knowledge and experience sharing it with grace and an always helping hand.
End of rant.
First report on attempt to do a dual boot install of Lion on an i5 iMac already running Snow Leopard: Even with a senior AppleCare tech on the phone (his choice, as it was his first attempt at this, as well), there have been unexpected glitches, which we worked around.
Now on to Phase 2 - Lion workshop and One-to-One sessions at the Apple Store this week to learn as much as I can and ask a lot of "stupid" questions, experimenting with all that at home (while using the Snow Leopard partition for work), installing necessary software, one at a time (including Parallels 7), etc. If anyone is interested, I will report back (much shorter) from time to time on the results.
Cheers,
J.R.

I am trying to get space on an external hard drive which has some old time machine back up files that I do not need but can not eliminate, even by going into the time machine, clicking on the backup file to be eliminated and using the drop down menu with the gear box symbol to eliminate

I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots. Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
See Pondini's page for more explanation: What are Local Snapshots? http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.
The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library. Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots.

Error: "Component is not active" but component is active

Hi Experts,
I transported a Web Dynpro application from source system to target system. When starting the application via browser I'm getting this error message:
"Component XXX_BDB is not active"
But the component is active in source and in target system. When I try to activate the component in target system there comes this error:
Component XXX_BDB can't be generated because of errors: see long text.
(Message no. SWDP_WB_TOOL100)
According to the long text, there is a heavy error and I should check the component in order to eliminate the errors. Checking the syntax is OK and strangely, the component controller is also active. But when I want to start WebDynpro-Component, the error message "Component is not active" is displayed.
I have checked this thread [Problems when activating ComponentController |Problems when activating ComponentController; without any effect....
Does someone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Tan

Hi Thomas,
where can I check the generation load limit?
I've done an extended syntax check (in source system, is that okay or should I do the check on both systems?), there are some errors regarding strings, field properties and structure extensions and some warnings regarding field properties.
But this errors are on an other wd component as well, but this other component is running, so I'm not sure if these errors are crucial. However I'm going to fix the errors now.
Baskaran, I will check the component controller and component usage as well but how can I identify the errors or should I just check it in general?
And what about the fact that both applications are running on the source system?
Additional info: the source system is ECC 6.0, the target system is Solution Manager 7.0
Thanks

Why iPhone 6 Plus sound microphone not working, but in the case of sound recordings in conversation mode work?

Why iPhone 6 Plus sound microphone not working, but in the case of sound recordings in conversation mode work?

Sighhhh, wasted so much time yesterday and today going around Sony centre and then carphone warehouse. They told me to come back after Easter.
I came home, banged the phone against the wall and it worked.
Turned out that mic was working on loud speaker and when using headphones so I thought that the secondary mic is working and the main one (placed with the speakers) isn't. So I banged that part against the wall slightly (in plastic case to prevent scratches) then put the phone underwater, waited for it to dry and now it's working. Idk how well and if it's of perfect quality again but people can hear me well.

Why does mail app show over 2,000 messages (not new) but only 10-12 in my inbox?

So I recenly got a new rMBP and have begun using the Mail app. I've had a bunch of problems with Gmail and the app but my my biggest gripe is that it seems to have downloaded over 2,000 messages from the server (of which I have no idea where its getting them because I've deleted pretty much everything in trying to solve this to the extent of completely wiping out my email folders). I wouldn't have such a problem with it except that it seems like its actually downloaded the 2,000+ messages onto my computer, no dobt taking up space (and its mildly annoying to me to always see 2,514 to the right of the "Gmail" folder in the left window)
I have tried emptying my mail completely including emptying the trash+deleting mail account from all apple devices and then restarting them before adding the mail account back.
Looking in random folders to make sure I haven't lost my marbles and theres a stash of emails lurking somewhere...
Again, deleting the accounts, powercycling the apple devices and then setting up mail again (just incase the first three times didn't work) and I'll mention that EVERY time I set up the account it imediately starts downloading the 2,000+ emails all over again (little windw shows up in bottom left counting down how many it has and how many there are left to go).
Any advise would be appreciated- I know its not huge but its driving me crazy!!
Just FYI I'm using the mail app simultaneously on a rMBP, iPad 4, and iPhone 5...

Go to Gmail (on the web) look in the folder named All Mail, they will be there, delete what you want.

I have like five GB's of ghost data (data the device claims is not there but it is still taking up space) on my I pad 2 from a failed movie download attempt. How do I fix that with out resting my iPad? I have only 1GB left of storage
The movie had gotten to the point that I could watch it all the way through but it still said processing and got stuck at that point and when I turned off the wifi to try to restart it, it deleted its-self but did not free up any of the storage It was taking up
Restarting my iPad does not help
Some thing similar also happened to my old laptop when trying to download the iOS 5 update to my laptop when it came out. It kept getting disconnected and every time it would try to start over and act like what had already been downloaded was not there though it was still taking up the storage space.
And it continued repeating until it took up all of my storage space. The data file would not show up anywhere so I had to restore my laptop to the factory settings and that worked for awhile but I eventually had to get a new laptop.

Did you try to set it up as new device, as explained in this article?
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
If this does not work, use iTunes to set it back to factory settings, which would also install the latest software:

I'm guessing it's a compatibility problem similar to that that T-Mobile in the US has. I'm not familiar with chat-r wireless, but I'm guessing it's not a supported carrier for the iPhone. If they can't tell you how to fix it, I'm guessing it's just plain not going to work.
