If i erase the contents of the download folder....

Hey, i am new and have a silly question. I notice downloads i have already moved to application folder still show up in the download folder. Can I trash all the folders and whatnot out of the downloads if they are somewhere else?

I notice downloads i have already moved to application folder still show up in the download folder.
Are you sure you are actually moving downloaded applications to the applications folder, or are you installing apps from downloaded installer packages? For instance, if you download an application as a dmg (disk image), double-clicking on it will mount the image as a disk. Double-clicking on an installer file in the image or dragging an app from it to your app folder installs the app but doesn't move the download itself anywhere.

When trying to sync my Ipod, it tells me that I have to erase the contents of the ipod to continue

I had to reformat my hard drive and therefore I lost my ITunes library. When I download ITunes again and tried to sync my Ipod, it tells me the following,"You can only sync with one library. Click here to erase the contents of the Ipod and sync the library.
What can I do to correct this problem. I do not want to lose my music, movies or videos. Help me please.

If you moved your iTunes library by simply copying it to another drive, you may not be able to access your music even if you reconnect to that library, you may get a lot of "not found" errors because the music is not where the library thinks it should be. First thing to do is put it back where it was. Then reconnect it. Then follow the steps in this link:

When I plug in my ipad it automatically tries to back up and download all the contents to the C drive - the PC is too full and I have iTunes on an external hard drive, how do I tell the system to do the backup to the hard drive please?

When I plug in my ipad it automatically tires to back up and download all the contents to the C drive - the PC is too full and I have iTunes on an external hard drive, how do I tell the system to do the backup to the hard drive please?

You can open a command prompt by hitting the start button and typing CMD<Enter> in the search box that opens up.
To move the current backup folder from C: to D: type in this command and press <Enter>
Move "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
Where <User> is your Windows user name.
To make iTunes look for the data in the new location type in this command and press <Enter>
MkLink /J "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
If your external drive has a different letter or you already have a folder called "Backup" then edit "D:\Backup" accordingly in both commands.

I just purchased an iPad 3 and it works great with most of my email accounts, but with an imap account from school it will download the content of the folders in the account, but doesn't download the messages in the inbox.

Hi,
I just purchased an iPad 3 and it works great with most of my email accounts, but with an imap account from school it will download the content of the folders in the account, but doesn't download the messages in the inbox. I have deleted and created the account several times. I have checked the status of the account and it's active and works either from safari or from my Mac or iPhone. I have turned off both my Mac and my iPhone as not to have competing devices, I can even send emails from the account successfully. It simply won't download the content of the inbox. Help!

Hi Csound1, thanks. The email host is 1and1.co.uk, however, i am going to fess up and make myself look like a plonker now -
the email account in question was set up in Outlook as POP - stupid, stupid, stupid me, wasted an afternoon on this! I have now changed the Outlook account to IMAP and Mail.app works perfectly - and looks much nicer than Outlook did. Im in the middle of converting from Windows to a Mac, and still finding my way around the Mac
The lesson learned, never assume - always double check! All my other email addresses with 1and1 are all imap, except this one, and it happened to be the first one I set up in the Mail.app. (bows head in disgrace!)
Thank you anyway for attempting to help me!
Cheers

I bought a iPod from my friend and erased all content from the iPod and the screen is white? Any suggestions

I bought a iPod touch 4g from my friend and I erased all content from the iPod and the screen went black, to the apple sign, then to a white screen and stayed like that, what do I do?

Can the contents of the Downloads folder be deleted?

Can the contents of the Downloads folder be deleted in order to regain storage space?

Hi KMess1948
The Downloads folder is just a convenient place to put stuff that you downloaded from various sources. It's contents can be deleted at will. You could of course create an archive on a separate harddisk or memory stick to keep for instance study material, or stuff that you would use more frequently. The rest of the stuff could be trashed at will.
I keep three achives, OS X and Combo Updates including and since SL, Documents, & important downloaded documents besides the normal backup stuff.
Download folder gets emptied regularly.
Have fun

When connecting my 120GB iPod Classic I receive the prompt; iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod "Name". It asks me to reset it. All my music appears to have been erased iPod yet 41GB of data is on it. Help!

When connecting my 120GB iPod Classic I receive the prompt; iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod "Name". It asks me to reset it. If I do this I will lose the contents of the iPod. The iPod shows no music on it yet 41GB of data is on it under "About" on the iPOD itself. It would appear that the music files are still there. I don't want to reset the iPod as it will mean reloading a significant amount of music i.e. my entire CD collection. Any suggestions? Has my iPod died?

(I'll lose all my music right?)
That is correct. A restore wipes all content from the device, resets all settings back to their defaults, and loads a fresh copy of the iPod's software onto the device.
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.

After all the music is safely in iTunes again, go ahead and restore the iPod to factory settings as it says.

When I plug my iPhone into my computer to sync my iTunes I get a message that says "iTunes cannot read the content of the iPhone" and wants me to restore my phone back to factory settings. Any suggestions so that I don't have to restore?

When I plug my iPhone into my computer to sync my iTunes I get a message that says "iTunes cannot read the content of the iPhone" and wants me to restore my phone back to factory settings. Any suggestions so that I don't have to restore? I have all of my stuff backed up on iCloud but I really don't want to go through the hassle of wiping it clean and putting everything back on.

This is a post from a user named edgar999 and it worked PERFECTLY:
"OK - this is how it works:
In order to backup from iCloud you cannot use iTunes!
Therefore disconnect your device from your computer.
Turn on your device and go to Settings and then go to General.
At the bottom of this submenu there is a buttom "Reset"
If you push that buttom you see 6 different Erase settings to chose from!
Chose "Erase All Content and Settings" because this will wipe everything from your device and will let you restore from iCloud! (I tried the top "Reset All Settings" but that did not let me use iClouds afterwards!)
Once you pushed that buttom your device will be wiped clean and after some time you will see the Device Welcome Screen like on a new device!
After choosing your location you will be asked to setup your WiFi-conection. After you joint to your Wifi you will be given the choice to restore the iPad from a backup from the iCloud. Choosing this backup will prompt you with your apple ID and password.
Restoring from a backup can take some time. The process uses your Wi-Fi connection to download settings, content and data. If you had a lot of content on your device, this can take a while. The restore screen should give you estimates at each stage of the restore process, starting with restoring the settings and then booting into the iPad. When the iPad home screen appears, the device will continue the restore process by downloading all of your applications.
If you are restoring from a backup because you have run into problems with your device that can only be solved by restoring it, you can first choose your latest backup. If you still have problems, you can move on to the next latest backup, repeating the process until (hopefully) the problem is cleared."
THANK YOU edgar999!!!!

My dausgther has forgotten the password to her ipod touch. The ipod has never been sunced to itunes. Is it possible to recover the contents of the ipod?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

How to create a jar having the contents of the jar in a byte array?

Hi,
I have a server and client application. My server returns the contents of the jar in the form of byte array to the client on a particluar method call. Now at the client end, i want to reconstruct the jar to be used. How do I do this?
The server uses the JarInputStream to read the contents of the jar to be returned. I have tried using the JarOutputStream, but looks like this works fine if we have spearate class files to be added to the jar. Now that I have the contents of the jar itself, how do i recreate the jar?
Can anyone please help me with this?
Thanks
Rajani

Have you ever gotten the raw byte copy to work? If so, how?
I download a jar via InputStream and save into a jar file via fileoutputstream. It always gets corrupted in the process. The new Jar file has the exact same number of bytes, but doesn't get past the Manifest on a -tvf. In fact, Winzip can open it fine, but can't extract. So close...yet so far.
Here is a snapshot of my code:
BufferedInputStream data1=new BufferedInputStream(con.getInputStream());
DataInputStream data=new DataInputStream(data1);
StringBuffer buf=new StringBuffer();
try{
while((theChar=data.read()) != -1)
{ buf.append((char)theChar); }
} catch (Exception z){ logger.info("UpdateThread.read Done Reading jar file");}
data.close();
File newFile = new File("C:/MyJar.jar");
FileOutputStream outstream2 = new FileOutputStream(newFile);
DataOutputStream outstream1 = new DataOutputStream(outstream2);
BufferedOutputStream outstream = new BufferedOutputStream(outstream1);
byte [] bytes = buf.toString().getBytes();
logger.info("Bytes of new Jar file = " + bytes.length);
int i;
for(i=0;i<bytes.length;i++){
outstream.write(bytes);
outstream1.close();
outstream.close();
Any ideas where I'm going wrong?

Everytime I connect to iTunes the message ' iTunes was interrupted while restoring the contents of the iPhone. would you like to restore the phone again now? With the options cancel, continue restore and delete back-up??

I upgraded to iOS 5 on my 3GS without any issues but now everytime I connect to iTunes the message ' iTunes was interrupted while restoring the contents of the iPhone. would you like to restore the phone again now? with the options of cancel, continue restore and delete back-up. what happens if i click delete back up?

I'm not getting the message anymore!
What I did:
1.- Went to preferences in itunes/ Devices --> erased the corrupted backup (there were two backups)
2.- Upgraded to iOS 5.0.1
Done!
PS: Maybe upgrading solves the problem without erasing the corrupted backup

How to read the contents of the Uploaded file ?

hi @,
I have used the File upload and Download UI elements as per the tutorial available. Now my requirement is to read the contents of the file and transfer it to the Backend system.
How can I achieve the desired fucntionality.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Amit

try this code to store image file in back end system.
IWDResource res=wdContext.currentMyDataElement().getPictureres();
          InputStream in=res.read(false);
          ByteArrayOutputStream bout=new ByteArrayOutputStream();
          int length;
          byte[] part=new byte[10*1024];
          while((length=in.read(part))!=-1)
          bout.write(part,0,length);
          in.close();
pstmt.setBytes(8,bout.toByteArray());
If it is other than image file like word or text then try this in action
IWDResource resource = wdContext.currentResElement().getResorce(); // your existing handle to the upload resource type
            try {
               InputStream stream = resource.read(true);
               byte b[]= new byte[1000];
               stream.read(b);
               String str = new String(b);
               int i=str.length();
               wdContext.currentContextElement().setOut(str);
               wdContext.currentContextElement().setSize(i);
               wdContext.currentResElement().setResourceurl(
                    wdContext.currentResElement().getResorce().getUrl(WDFileDownloadBehaviour.OPEN_INPLACE.ordinal()));
          } catch (IOException e) {
               // TODO Auto-generated catch block
               e.printStackTrace();
The in back end field where u store the file should be byte array.

Keep getting "itunes cannot read the contents of the iPad" message when connecting my iPad 2 to Windows XP

Hi all,
I have an iPad 2 that I purchased in late 2011. I have a Windows XP PC. Of late, I have not been able to connect my iPad 2 to iTunes on my Windows XP (Service Pack 3) desktop. I keep getting the popular error "itunes cannot read the contents of the iPad. .... restore factory settings" message. I have tried re-installing latest iTunes altogether after fully uninstalling and removing registry entries. But it still keeps giving the same message. I have tried all the steps given here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 , except checking with a different USB cable. My cable however works well while charging. My system however seems to detect the iPad as camera. I desperately need some help to fix this.
Thanks,
Paddy

Worked for an iPad 4 (Retina) running iOS 7.0.3. connected to a Mac (Mavericks, iTunes 11.1.2). Although the file system is a bit different than what is shown on the video, the basic same steps can be carried out: download iFunbox (for Mac, obviously), go into "Raw file system", then "iTunes_Control" (you may want to switch to list view to see the complete name), then iTunes. There there was no iTunesDB file but I deleted iTunesCDB (was 0kB, expect that might have been the problem) and iTunesControl (0kB as well). Also deleted the Music folder in the previous directory.
After that I disconnected the iPad from iTunes, quit iTunes, relaunched, and it started sync'ing :-)
Note that now it's telling me that it cannot sync because an additional 10GB is required! Not sure what the problem is because the bar at the bottom of the iTunes window says it still has another 4GB available. I'm expecting there's a problem with how the size of the music is calculated (perhaps because I also sync Genius playlists and mixes), so I disabled music sync'ing for now so it can complete it once. Then I'll hand-pick the music again and hope it works!

How do I update my iPad to ios5 I am getting an error mesage -402653081 while backing up the iPad, if I proceed then I will loose all the content of the iPad?

How do I update my iPad to ios5 I am getting an error mesage -402653081 while backing up the iPad, if I proceed then I will loose all the content of the iPad?

The IOS5 upgrade will erase everything on your iPad, so make sure you have a good backup before you start.
If not, you will just have to reenter all of your settings all over again. Have you ever backed it up successfully?

ITune cannot read the contents of the iPhone.

Ok, this is quite annoying,
All I want is to get a few music files from my PC to my iPhone, I downloaded iTune, installed it, and now I am getting this message:
iTune cannot read the contents of the iphone "<phone name>". Goto to the summary tab in iphone preferences and click restore to restore this iphone to factory settings.
Funny, cause my iPhone is listed there on the devices, but it doesn't have any tabs available for me to sync.
what am I missing ?
