I'm still confused!!! How does it work and what happens to...

I have spoken to peeps in apple store as well as apple support but its like talking to geekbots. I have a mess of a music collection on at least two devices and a hard drive. If I purchase iTunes Match what exactly happens?
Do I sign up on my m/mini then later log in from macbook and iT/Match will automatically find the additional songs that are on Macbook and upload them too increasing my overall collection?
How does it improve the rate to 256? Is that only when lstening to streamed music or does it upgrade the songs on my hard drive?
It feels like something that was thrown out there but not fully explained, no wonder I don't know a single person that has subscribed

Yes. Be sure and do one computer at a time and do not enable iTM on any iOS devices until both computers are finished with the initial scans.

If the song is "matched" then you delete the version that is your iTunes library, but not from the cloud, and download the matched file. Nothing is done automatically.

  • My iPhone was stolen and I have contacted the police who are using the meid number to locate.  How does this work and what are my chances of getting the phone back?

    My iPhone was stolen.  I used Find My iPhone app to lock it and display a message.  The phone has not connected to the internet to locate it.  I contacted the police and they have taken my meid number.  How does this work and what are my chances of getting the phone back?  Are there other ways the theif can use it.  I was told once they put in a new sim card and use it, whatever software the police have, it will show up.

    Honestly? In the US (I can't speak to other countries, though I doubt it works much differently in a lot of the world) The police took your report and filed it either in their computers or, on paper. They will now not think of this again. The only time it will cross anyones mind is if, in the course of entering information into evidence about items recovered or seized at a crime scene, the serial number of an iPhone that was found/seized happens to match yours, in which case you will be contacted.
    The police in the US can and will do nothing to 'blok' the phone and it's not worth their time to try and locate it unless you know for a fact that it was stolen by a big time drug lord, master criminal, or some other such prime target and they can get a court order to track the location of the phone in order to locate this individual for your own purposes.  If they do that, they'll probably keep him under surveilance for a year or so before they act.
    Basically, the police don't care about your phone. If they find it, they will give it back to you. They are not, however, going to go looking for it. They have better things to do.
    I'm sorry, but that's the way it is.

  • OnChange() event how does it work and what is the syntax

    hi,
    i have a field (County) on a form in a jsp page that needs to get all its values from the database and present it to the user also i have another field (year) this also needs to get all its values as a drop down from the database.
    i dont have any lib tag available to use and can't afford the time to set this up. so just have to script in jsp or use beans in jsp.
    my question is 2fold
    Q1. - i was thinking of having a DataAccess (dA) object to run a sql to select * distict couties ...
    also have another query in DataAccess select * Distinct year....
    and in the jsp instantiate the (dA) and iterate through and fill the select drop down box - how to code this syntax i'm not sure and if this is the correct approach or the only approach would appreciate some sample code that i can mess around with thanks.
    - is above approach best way of doing this. - also taking into account Q2.
    Q2 - when the user selects county then i need to fire a onChange event - probably using javascript but not sure how this works - bascially i need to then update the year drop down according to the below sql-
    again how is this possible - and is this the best approach or will it be too many calls to the database - especially consdering that the forms are all part of a search tool.
    SELECT     DISTINCT     v.year
    FROM          v_volumes     v
    WHERE          v.county     = <the selected county>
    OR          (v.county_reference     =
                   (SELECT     ca.county_reference
                    FROM          county_aliases     ca
                    ,          counties     c
                    WHERE     ca.county_reference_also_called     = c.county_reference
                    AND          c.county     = <the selected county>)
    ORDER BY v.year

    Sorry to rain on your parade, but its not going to be quite that simple.
    Populating a second dropdown depending on the first one, has been discussed quite in depth on this forum, I suggest you do a search to look at older posts.
    Javascript code cannot call java/database code from an onclick event.
    The best it can do is trigger a form submission, which reloads the page
    running any java/sql code that displaying the page entails.
    So onlick event on the first dropdown triggers a form submit, which loads the page with the correct values in the second dropdown.
    con: requires a page request
    The other approach is to download ALL possible values to the jsp page, and have javascript handle the swapping of values.
    pro: no page refresh needed
    con: must have all data available on the page. javascript is a bit more complicated.
    Hope this helps,

  • How does Xsan work, and what do I need?

    Hi,
    I want to run one copy of Logic Express on around 15 iMac's. The storage for Logic is going to be on and XServes, but teh actual music will be stored on the school network. What would i Need? (hardware wise?)
    Thanks,
    James

    If you're going to use iMacs, you don't really need Xsan, because it uses fibre channel for storage and you can't put a fibre channel card in an iMac.
    Probably you want an Xserve + Xserve RAID set up as a file server.

  • Was told a USB device would create a PDF automatically from the data contained within when plugged into my USB port. Doesn't seem to work. How does this work and how can I fix the device I received?

    Acrobat is not on the USB device - only Adobe Reader needed on the PC. How does this work? How can I fix this device if at all?

    You need to ask the people who sold it to you. Doesn't sound like it has anything to do with Reader.
    However, you should be wary of devices that automatically try to open files when plugged in. They can also infect your computers with all kinds of viruses or malware.

  • How does iPhoto work? What are the guts?

    I am a recent switcher from Windows and have been running OSX since the black MacBooks have come out. I used and loved Picasa on windows for pics. I have been using iPhoto and have run into problems.
    I am trying to get my head around just how iPhoto works. I am interested in how iPhoto imports, stores and works with photo libraries and photos. It seems extremely convoluted to me. Here is an example.
    In my 'Pictures' folder, I have folders: 'Personal 2000' , 'Personal 2001' , 'Personal 2002' , etc, etc
    - I open iPhoto and choose 'Import to Library...' I choose to import a single folder from 'Personal 2002' titled 'xmas'
    - I now have in that same 'Pictures' folder a folder called: 'iPhoto Library'
    - in the 'iPhoto Library' folder are now folders called:
    - 'Data'
    - 'Modified'
    - 'Originals'
    - In each of these new folders (data, modified, originals) are now folders with just years
    -'2002'
    - and then in '2002' in each of those folders there is a folder called 'xmas'
    - and in each xmas folder there are now four copies of my original photo
    So I have gone from one original photo to four photo in four different places. This is crazy! I am trying to get my head around things and understand how to work with iPhoto and organize things but I could use some help.
    Please help me understand. Does the book iPhoto 6 the missing manual help explain????

    Mike
    The point of iPhoto is that it does the file management for you.
    It's a database, with built in image viewer and lightweight editing. The database is designed (like all databases) so that you interact with the data via the application, not the Finder.
    So in your iPhoto Library Folder you will find various files that make up the Library, plus three Folders.
    Originals: This contains the photos as they were downloaded from your camera (or scanner)
    Modified: This contains the photos that you have edited or altered in any way - fixed red-eye, rotated, whatever. This allows you to use the Photos -> Revert To Originall command - which allows you to dump changes that you may not like.
    The data folder contains the thumbnails that the app uses to display the pics in the iPhoto WIndow . SO you can see there is no actual duplication, but apparently much!
    If you use iPhoto to do the file management then your folders become irrelevant, and once your content that the photos are safe in iPhoto you can trash them.
    You can keep your own folders and do your own file management (go Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck Importing - Copy Files to iPhoto Library Folder ...) and then iPhoto will leave your file structure alone, However it will still make the data and Modifieds folders.
    Through the iPhoto WIndow you can do everything you need to do with the photos. You can make slide shows and albums, keyword for fast searching, make smart self-updating albums, effortlessly export the files. Evne just drag and drop one to the desktop. In all caes iPhoto works with a COPY of the file, so that your original remains safe and sound. And of course, you can completlely recreate your folder organisation in the iPhoto WIndow .
    I hope that's clear, if you have further questions feel free to ask more.
    Regards

  • Genius - How does it work and why doesn't it often?

    This is just to ask fellow users to bring some light in how Genius works, and help the builders/designers to get it better. I often find some strange anamolies in the results, and I just would like to know what could be behind those...
    So for starters: The Beatles - Maxwell's Silver Hammer
    Not the most populair Beatles song, but still probably on the iPods and iPhones of thousands of users. So how come it won't come up with a possible playlist? Which tags are used? Does it have to do with the fact that songs are only officially available since a month or so? Why doesn't it take songs from the same period or style anyway, using the tags? Why do other Beatles songs come up with results? Why doesn't it take other songs from the same album, as that always should "fit"?

    Genius Playlist
    Posted: Dec 9, 2010 11:33 AM Reply Email
    I'm curious if anyone knows why Genius playlists can't be generated for some songs that do show related songs in the Ping/Genius sidebar. It just seems like if Genius knows enough about the song to suggest other songs in the sidebar, it would know enough about it to generate a playlist. I'm getting the message "Genius is unavailable...." NOT "Genius does not have enought related songs...."

  • How does google work out what country you are browsing from?

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how sites like google know what country you are browsing from and automatically forwards you to the local country site? I would like to do something similar with an ApEx application I am writing, showing country-specific things without prompting the user for their country.
    Thanks,

  • Power Search - how does it work and where does it get the data from?

    Hiya,
    Power search in NWBC is great, when it works.
    Recently I've been gettign increasingly erratic results - sometimes desktop items are found, sometimes they're not.
    Sometime my emails are searched, sometimes they're not...
    And so I'm wondering where I can find information on how it works, how it's configured etc.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

  • How does charging work? What are the rates?

    Just signed up for STG. Before I get going with it, just want to make sure I fully understand it.
    - I call the local number assigned to the out of country one
    - I'm charged local rates for the call (uses my normal cell minutes)
    - My Skype account is charged for the call - same rates as when I use the software?
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    1. Yes.
    2. No. Your Skype account is charged with the cost of the call at the prevailing Skype call rate to wherever you are calling. You can use either a Call Plan or Skype Credit.
    3. Yes.
    Skype To Go number call costs break down into two parts:
    1. Operator costs
    Dialing your Skype To Go number is a local call in most cases. This may be included in the free minutes you get
    from your operator.
    2. Skype costs
    The call is charged at Skype's low rates, the same as when
    calling phones from Skype on your computer.
    Effectively - for the cost of accessing your local STG # (it may be free within your cellphone Plan) you have the freedom of calling
    anywhere at Skype rates using your cellphone or landline.
    TIME ZONE - US EASTERN. LOCATION - PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA.
    I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac
    If my advice helped to fix your issue please mark it as a solution to help others.

  • How to rollback RBS and what happens to existing data

    Let's say I am using Remote Blog Storage (RBS) in one of my content database and I decide not to use anymore.
    1. How can I roll back RBS?
    2. What will happen to my data and how can I migrate it from RBS to how SharePoint/SQL Server stores it normally in database?

    There's a few blogs around with steps such as this one:
    https://alipka.wordpress.com/2010/06/19/how-to-disable-rbs-in-sharepoint-2010/
    I'd tackle it in several steps.
    Make sure that no new content is being externalised
    Move existing content back into the database
    Remove old connections
    Or i'd just try doing backup and restore operations for site collections to clean databases that don't have the RBS configured.

  • Can't get a decent background to work, and what happened to the 9+ hours visibility on cal?

    So, I use my ipad strictly for school.  The new iOS7 has made it extremely difficult to select my own background and get it into view.  I want to take a picture of my weekly schedule and make it my background, but the iOS7 is insisting on scaling my image.  iOS7 has decided that I need to be slightly zoomed in to use my picture.  Why can't I use the ipad screenshot of my schedule as my background? 
    Plus, isn't work from 8 to 5? Or at least 9 hours counting an hour lunch?  If so, and assuming that people use their calendars to be productive, why is iCal now showing only 8.5 hours and forces you to scroll down to see the afternoon?  Apple, you're claiming you rethought this wonderchild, but instead you've lost practicality! Please stop trying to look like an android tablet and be smarter than your competitors!

    The problem lies with the structure of the data table in 'index2.html' and the way that Spry utilises that data.
    The following shows the first three rows of the table
    <tr>
      <th>Case name</th>
      <th>State</th>
      <th>Region</th>
      <th>Incident type</th>
      <th>Settlement date</th>
      <th></th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Allen Owen</td>
      <td>Florida</td>
      <td>Southeast</td>
      <td>Oil Spill</td>
      <td>11/1/2014</td>
      <td><div class="arrow"></div></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td colspan="6" align="left" valign="top"><img src="ship-2.png" alt="Ship photo" />
        <h4>Additional information</h4>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="#">Case documents</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">More information link 1</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">More information link 2</a></li>
        </ul></td>
    </tr>
    Spry will regard the first row as a header row, thus no problem.
    The second and third rows will be used as data rows, but their structure is not the same. Hence this will confuse Spry and the data will be incorrectly reflected.
    The following are the rows in the Spry Region table
    <tr>
      <th spry:sort="Case_name">Case_name</th>
      <th spry:sort="State">State</th>
      <th spry:sort="Region">Region</th>
      <th spry:sort="Incident_type">Incident_type</th>
      <th spry:sort="Settlement_date">Settlement_date</th>
      <th></th>
    </tr>
    <tr spry:repeat="ds1">
      <td>{Case_name}</td>
      <td></td>
      <td></td>
      <td>{Incident_type}</td>
      <td></td>
      <td><div class="arrow"></div></td>
    </tr>
    Here we have got the header row, thus no problem, but the repeated is going to be a problem. This will repeat the data collected from the data table in 'index2.html', data that we know that Spry has had a problem with.
    In other words, the two widgets will not co-operate with each other. A table structure is too restrictive.
    You may like to have a look at using Spry's Sliding Panel or using an Accordion instead of using a table.

  • SAP WM-RF 'Serial Number' Transaction LM80 - How does it work?

    Hi gurus
    We are looking at using the standard SAP RF transaction 'LM80' - 'Serial number capture'
    Does anyone have any experience with this transaction?  How does it work and what is the process flow?
    Cheers
    Eddy

    Hi
    Please advise if this is the process others are using for LM80:
    1. Create STO or Sales Order
    2. Create Delivery
    3. Create Warehouse Transfer Order
    4. Pick/Confirm Warehouse Transfer Order
    5. Scan serial numbers to completely picked delivery via LM80
    6. Post Goods Issue
    My question is:  is there a way to 'pick' via serial numbers?  The process would then be that you scan in serial numbers during picking
    kind regards
