Is it safe to run Xperia Transfer twice?

When I first ran Xperia Transfer to transfer data from my iPhone to my new Z1C (quite a while ago), the transfer did not complete because some of the filenames on the iPhone had ":" characters in them which cannot be used in file names on the Z1C SD card.
I'm also not 100% sure whether all my TXT messages were transferred.
If I run Xperia Transfer again, will I get a lot of duplicate TXT messages and contacts, or will the software be clever about the already existing data?

It'll be easiser to sync everything with Google then sync back with your Z1 compact

    Make a local backup of your iPhone using iTunes on the same computer as which you have PC Companion or Bridge for Mac installed. It’s important that you make a local (not iCloud) backup without any encryption. You can find the backup option in iTunes by connecting your iPhone via USB and click “My iPhone” in iTunes.
    If/when you have made a local backup of your iPhone choose the Apple iPhone option in Xperia transfer and select your iPhone backup. Follow the on-screen instructions.

    BlackBerry phones
    Connect your Blackberry phone via USB and make a local unencrypted backup of your BlackBerry phone using BlackBerry Desktop Software. I suggest that you do this on the same computer as which you have PC Companion or Bridge for Mac installed.
    In BlackBerry Desktop Software locate the backup button and choose full or quick backup and include the files you want from your media storage. DO NOT change the destination path for the backup files, please let the default path remain and double check that the encryption option in deactivated. Now press backup.
    When the backup is complete go to the Xperia Transfer option in PC Companion or Bridge for Mac, select the BlackBerry phone option and follow the on-screen instructions.

  • Safe to run on 220 with a converter?

    Hi Danno33614: A voltage converter isn't required. You will need a plug adapter only. The MacBook Pro power block is rated for up to 240V.

  • Strange prob... to get correct o/p we have to run this prog twice ?????????

    hi,
    my problem is that i have created one bat file and i want to run that file in java but it is not running properly. the problem is .......
    i have created one bat file named "file1.bat" & content of this file is as follows :-
    [ ag > b.txt]
    (and content of file "ag" is "aaaaaaa" )
    now i am trying to run this bat file in java and want to read this b.txt in which i have redirected the content of file "ag".
    for that i have written the code like this:-file name is "runbf.java"
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.lang.Runtime;
    import java.io.*;
    public class DriveVol
    public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException
    int volumn;
    Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
    r.exec("ss.bat");
    FileInputStream fp;
    fp = new FileInputStream("b.txt");
    flush();
    do
    volumn = fp.read();
    System.out.print((char)volumn);
    }while(volumn != -1);
    fp.close();
    when i am running this programme first it is not displaying the content of b.txt. but when u run this prog twice then only it 'll give the correct ans. what i mean is, i'll explain that stepwise.
    1. as per my prog. -- r.exec("aa.bat") -- this line 'll execute first. so content of ag 'll redirect to file "b.txt"
    2. now i am trying to read the file "b.txt" using FIleInputStream...
    3. but first time it is giving some garbbage value.when i give --c:jdk1.3\bin>java runbf
    4. but the very next moment when again i run that file - c:jdk1.3\bin>java runbf
    it 'll give the correct value.
    5. again when i change the content of file ag(suppose "bbbbbbb"). & try to run "runbf.java" like this-
    -- c:jdk1.3\bin>java runbf --
    6. then it 'll display the value "aaaaaa". now when again i run that file
    it 'll give the correct value "bbbbbb"
    7. so every time i have to run that "runbf.java" twice for printing the correct
    value of file "b.txt"
    so what i think is that, it is not refreshing the data of file "b.txt". after executing this line
    r.exec("aa.bat");
    so is there any method to refresh the data of file "b.txt"??????
    i think u 'll try to understand my problem...
    so please help me to get the ans.......
    thx.........

    Cuz r.exec is asynchronous, dummy. Read the friggin API. It starts a background process. If you wanna wait for it to finish, then call
    Process p = r.exec(...);
    p.waitFor(whatever).

  • Is microsoft Silverlight plug-in safe to run on OSX 10.7.5?

    Is Microsoft Silverlight plug-in safe to run on OS X 10.7.5  ?   Looking to stream download movies from Netflix

    berdel,
    For now, you will indeed need Silverlight for Netflix on your Mac.  As rkaufmann87 suggested, you should always get any plugin directly from the manufacturer and keep it updated frequently for security reasons.
    The good news is that Netflix is currently working on doing away with the Silverlight dependency.  Within a few months we should all be able to cellebrate when Netflix releases a new version that uses modern HTML5 instead of Silverlight, and will run on all standards-complient browsers such as Safari, Chrome, and Firefox.

  • How to disable safe mode on xperia z1,power and volume button doesn't work

    How to disable safe mode on xperia z1,power and volume button doesn't work

    Hi rafharum,
    Welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    A simple restart to the device would generally resolve this issue, however if the power key and Volume key are not working they may very well be causing the handset to execute safemode when ever you power the device on.
    If this is the case, you will need to get the handset to a service agent for assessment. Please use the link below to contact Sony Mobile Customer Care directly.

  • Limiting script to run once or twice

    I have this script which I'm trying to collect snmp stack based on the %SNMP-3-INPUT_QFULL_ERR. But my concerns is that when these error starts they run for about 2 hours and I get thousands of syslog entries for this error. I want to be able to limit this script and may run once or twice regarldess of how many error I get. Can someone assist me in tweaking this?
    Thanks.
    event manager session cli username "username"
    event manager applet SNMP_STACK
    event syslog pattern "%SNMP-3-INPUT_QFULL_ERR" occurs 32
    action 1.0 cli command "enable"
    action 2.1 cli command "show clock | append bootflash:SNMP_STACK.TXT"
    action 2.2 cli command "show proc cpu sort | append bootflash:SNMP_STACK.TXT"
    action 3.1 cli command "show stacks 560 | append bootflash:SNMP_STACK.TXT"
    action 3.2 cli command "show stacks 560 | append bootflash:SNMP_STACK.TXT"
    action 3.3 cli command "show stacks 560 | append bootflash:SNMP_STACK.TXT"
    action 3.4 cli command "show stacks 560 | append bootflash:SNMP_STACK.TXT"
    action 3.5 cli command "show stacks 560 | append bootflash:SNMP_STACK.TXT"
    action 3.6 cli command "show stacks 560 | append bootflash:SNMP_STACK.TXT"
    action 3.7 cli command "show stacks 560 | append bootflash:SNMP_STACK.TXT"
    action 3.8 cli command "show stacks 560 | append bootflash:SNMP_STACK.TXT"
    action 3.9 cli command "show stacks 560 | append bootflash:SNMP_STACK.TXT"

    One way to do this would be to have this applet install a second, timer-based applet then sets the event detector type of itself to "none".  The second applet would countdown the number of seconds that correspond to your time window, then reconfigures the event detector on the first applet to be your syslog event.  For example:
    event manager environment q "
    action 4.0 cli command "config t"
    action 4.1 cli command "event manager applet stack-countdown
    action 4.2 cli command "event timer countdown time 7200"
    action 4.3 cli command "action 1.0 cli command enable"
    action 4.4 cli command "action 2.0 cli command $q config t$q"
    action 4.4 cli command "action 3.0 cli command $q event manager applet SNMP_STACK$q"
    action 4.5 cli command "action 4.0 cli command $q event syslog pattern %SNMP-3-INPUT_QFULL_ERR$q"
    action 4.6 cli command "no event manager applet stack-countdown"
    action 4.7 cli command "event manager applet SNMP_STACK"
    action 4.8 cli command "event none"
    action 4.9 cli command "end"

    If you backup with iTunes and you restored from the backup and the data are gone, then there is no where to retrieve them from unless you have another backup that contains those data.
    Launch iTunes on the computer and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices. You will see a window with all of your backups listed in it.
    If you see a recent backup that you are certain contains the data that you need, recover deleted data from iPhone backup.
    If your note is gone from iCloud.com there is only a few ways to possibly recover it.
    The first things I would check is a iCloud Backup, a iTunes Backup, or a 3rd party email that may have contained the note. To restore from a iCloud or iTunes backup follow this link. This article explains how to restore a device from either back up.
    Note if you have backed up since the note went missing, you will not have the note on the backup. Make sure you do not back up if trying to restore from a back up as this will back up the content without the note.
    To get to the "Set up assistant" on an iOS device, you must go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. Once the phone restarts, you will be at the "Set up Assistant"

  • Xperia transfer error ios 8.02 from iPhone 5 and iPad mini retina to Z3

    I can't for the life of me get my Z3 to transfer data from my iOS devices. After successful pairing an error occurs after a few kbits of the app evaluating what can be transferred. I've tried different cables, resets and uninstalling the app etc. Nothing works. No wifi transfer for iOS 8 yet neither. Frustrating!!

    Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    The current version of Xperia™ Transfer Mobile, version 1.2.12, does not support transferring of content from iOS 8 to your Xperia™ device. However, a new version will be released within short that supports transfer from iOS 8 to your new Xperia™ device.

  • Safe To Run MacOSXUpd10.5.1.dmg?

    Hi,
    I upgraded my version of Leopard to 10.5.1 using the automatic Software Update mechanism. However, I read that it's a good idea to download the 109.2MB MacOSXUpd10.5.1.dmg file from Apple's website and run that. So my question is, is it safe to run that update when I'm already running 10.5.1?

    Apple typically puts out two versions; a Delta, which takes you between a .1 and .2, or a .5 and .6 revision, and a Combo update, which takes you from .0 all the way to the latest, including the stops along the way--from 10.4.0 to 10.4.9 for example.
    In this particular case, the difference is probably between PPC and Intel downloads using Software Update vs. both being included at the Support site.

    do you have any ideas, experiences or workarounds to import my sms from my old phone?
    one limitation though: it should be an offline method. i don't want my sms to be on some server...
