If I no longer have the old application Backup installed on my Mac (part of the .Mac subscription), do I still need the folder called Backup, that is in my Library in the Application Support folder?

If I no longer have the old application Backup installed on my Mac (for performing scheduled backups of data on the computer), do I need the folder called Backup, that is in my Hard Drive, to Library, to the Application Support folder? (There is no Backup folder in my Home Folder, to Library, to the Application Support folder.)
Backup was part of the .Mac subscription I used to have, and I have not used it since I gave up being a .Mac subscriber many years ago. In fact I recall Apple saying at one point that they no longer supported the Backup Application. I assume the Backup folder is just remnants from when I used to have that application, however I could be wrong, and don't want to trash the folder unwisely.
As I looked through the various items in the Backup folder, nothing appears to be modified since 2007, which further confirms that this folder is from long ago when I used to have that application. I did notice that the main Backup folder itself was the only thing that had a more current modification date on it. That date coincides with the date that I installed Snow Leopard on my Mac earlier this year. But I'm assuming that any operating system software installation will place a modification date on all the various folders of one's computer, with the date the new OS was installed.
Any insight will be appreciated! Thank you!

Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer. As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you. I'm sure you'll pay, however.
Let this be a very important lesson learned.
Best.

I have a Verizon IPhone 4 with IOS 5.0.1 and I'm having trouble connecting to an open network called linksys that says I'm connected with the wifi icon in the menu bar but it's a slow to non existing connection? Anyone in similar situation?

My other questions were anyone in a similar situation? Should I get wifi in my home? What is the best provider in Chicago?

Since the network obviously doesn't belong to you, we're not going to be able to suggest much you can do to fix it. As for getting wifi in your home, do you not already have Internet access? Wireless routers are cheap if you already have wired Internet. If you don't, the "best" provider may not be a relevant question. You probably have 2, maybe 3 choices. Your cable company, your phone company and probably one other choice that is actually running piggyback on either the cable or phone company. If you're in a high rise, the building may have their own service you can buy into.

I'm trying to back up 10.6.8 (snow leopard) and all my files before upgrade to Mavericks. I have an old but sturdy external hard drive...how many GB available will I probably need to back up the whole thing? thanks!

You will need a separate partition unless you plan to use the entire drive. You will need an amount of space somewhat larger than the total space now used on your startup drive. If you select the startup drive's Desktop icon, then press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. Used space will be shown in the topmost panel. Add a GB or two to that number to determine how much space you'll need for the backup.
Do not backup on a drive that has any files you want to keep. You can make a bootable backup as follows:
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
it to the Destination entry field.
5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
the Source entry field.
6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.

I have an old gift card from 2 yrs ago, I am wanting to give as a gift, but not sure if it's expired. Can I check the balance w/o putting it on my account?

I have an old gift card from 2 yrs ago, I am wanting to give as a gift, but not sure if it's expired. Can I check the balance w/o putting it on my account?

It shouldn't expire - none of my cards have ever had an expiry date on them.
If the card doesn't have its value written on it then the only way to see its value is to redeem it onto an account.

I have almost 1200 contacts in my Outlook, all of which were assigned to a Category, so I could look people up by that Category. Almost 900 of the Category assignments are now blank. Does anyone know how to assign a contact to a group on the iPhone?

I have almost 1200 contacts in my Outlook, all of which were assigned to a Category, so I could look people up by that Category. Almost 900 of the Category assignments are now blank. I am a recent iPhone user. When I had my BlackBerry, you could see or assign the Category in each contact. I don't see that when I go to "edit" in a contact. I don't want to go through all my contacts and reassign the Category, and then have them wiped out again. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

I'm sorry to hear that.
I'm not affiliated w/ the developer, just a happy user that gave up fighting the apple podcast app a while ago. I used to have a bunch of smart playlists in itunes for my podcasts, and come home every day and pathologically synced my phone as soon as I walked in the door, and again before I walked out the door in the morning.
Since my wife was doing this too, we were fighting over who's turn it was to sync their phone.
Since I've switched to Downcast, I no longer worry about syncing my phone to itunes at all. I can go weeks between syncs.
Setup a "playlist" in downcast (ex., "Commute") and add podcasts to that playlist. Add another playlist ("walk" or "workout") and add different podcasts to that one.
Set podcast priorities on a per-feed basis (ex., high priority for some daily news feeds, medium priority for some favorite podcasts, lower priority for other stuff). Downcast will play the things in the priority you specify, and within that priority, it will play in date order (oldest to newest).
Allegedly, it will also sync your play status to other devices, although that is not a feature I currently use and can't vouch for. It uses apple's iCloud APIs, so to some extent may be limited by what Apple's APIs can do.

Can't seem to find an IPAD that let's me control my playlists together...or let's me organize my videos (Karaoke) the way I want to. Can someone help or direct me?
Can't even find the old IPad for sale...I have a MB292LL with 4.3.2 (8H7)

Here is a hint, google:
ipad video playlists
Found:
This discusses some options.
iOS 7 took away the ability to play videos continuously.
Two stand-alone apps.

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/joobik-video-playlist-player/id502325425?mt=8
There was a hint of relabeling your videos to music video so you can use the itunes video playlists.
I have not tried this.

Yes that makes sense, however have you updated it at My Apple ID before trying to change it in your system preferences > iCloud settings, you must do that first.

You need to restore the pre-upgrade backup of the library file in the manner shown in Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

What version of Windows are you using? This is not a problem with iTunes. It may have to do with an issue of the compatibility of a newer version of iTunes with an older Windows system/older hardware.
What do you want to synchronize? If you were previously using iCloud you should be able to restore most of your oringinal content onto your new phone via was was last synched with the iCloud on your previous phone/device.

I have an old iphone 3gs which is backed up on itunes. bought a new iphone 4gs and need to back it up. will syncing new phone erase old 3gs data?

This is not very iTunes Public Site Manager related... but I was in the same situation as you a little while ago.
1 - Sync/back up your old 3gs.
2 - Activatie your new phone when connected to itunes via cable and it will ask you if you want to restore our old phone.
3 - ???
4 - profitt!
might also work with icloud but i have not tried that method.

I need a BAPI or function that can create a PO without the purchase req.

I need a BAPI or function that can create a PO without the reference to a purchase requisition. We are creating "direct POs" (with no reference to PR) manually. And we have a large amount of documents to create. I can't figure out if BAPI_PO_CREATE and BAPI_PO_CREATE1 can help us by doing this, because I've understood this BAPIs creates POs only with the reference to a purchase requisition.
Thanks in advance!!
Sebastian

Sorry I'm late guys, I couldn't replay your posts because I was busy.
Charlie,
...just because we have the data already in the SAP system.
My client doesn't want purchase requisitions to be created from the PM orders. Instead he asked us to create the purchase workflow by generating direct purchase orders from the PM orders, basically taking the information from the purchase agreement within the order's tasks. Maybe you don't understand a bit what I'm saying, but let me get this straight: we can't use LSMW because data doesn't come from a legacy.
Ian,
...after all, and like you've said, we're gonna use BAPI_PO_CREATE1 for creating the POs. Today I finally realized that, purchase requisitions aren't mandatory for the bapi to perform the process. If something goes wrong, I'll let you know.
Thanks anyway for your attention.
Sebastian

If i purchase the PS, can i install it on both my PC and MAC at the same time?

if i purchase the PS, can i install it on both my PC and MAC at the same time? I use the PC at home and MAC while on the road.

yes, if you subscribe to cc (which included ps cs6, ps cc and ps cc 2014).
no, if you purchase ps cs6.

If I no longer have the old application Backup installed on my Mac (part of the .Mac subscription), do I still need the folder called Backup, that is in my Library in the Application Support folder?
