Is there any possibility to format an Imac without backing up all datas (re-install the OS without touching to Itunes-Iphoto-Safari Bookmarks etc.)?

Hi everyone,
I guess the question pretty much speaks for itself. My Imac is running very slow these past few months and I would like to reinstall the whole OS.
However, I would like to avoid loosing any data by formating the Imac without touching the user desk. Is that possible? And if so, what are te steps to proceed?
Thanks in advance for you help!

Formatting a drive is a destructive process, so you cannot format a drive without losing everything on the drive. But it is possible to reinstall OS X without reformatting the drive.
But you need to tell us what version of OS X is installed. I would recommend you backup your drive before such an action.

Only if you carry loose diamonds in your pocket. The glass on the iPhone is Corning Gorilla Glass, and is very hard. It's not a good idea to carry an iPhone (or any other phone, for that matter) loose in your pocket without a case that covers the screen, earpiece, dock conntector, headphone jack speaker and mic. There's too much in most people's pockets that can damage these parts, or get into them. Pocket lint in the Lightning connector or headphone jack can cause all kinds of mischief, and the mic, speaker and earpiece are completely exposed.
The screen natively has a coating on it that repels oils, making it very easy to remove fingerprints with a tissue or cloth. Putting a screen protector on the phone defeats this feature.

Often when plugging a device into a computer (which has not been discussed if this has ever happened) one will be given the auto play option of transferring photos/data from the mobile device to the computer. Did you ever transfer the photos from your device to a computer?

Are there any additional templates for pages other than those you get when you install the program? If so, where do you find them?

I am looking for additional templates for iWork, specifically for pages. Does Apple or anyone else have them?

Yes there are plenty of third-party templates available for iWork applications. Try doing a search on Google or software download pages such as MacUpdate or VersionTracker.

I restored my ipod 4th generation but i lost all of my photos. I used iCloud but i have never synced with itunes. Is there any way I can get my pictures back?

On the settings I went to iCloud then went to storage and backup and it saus total storage 5.0 gb and avaible storage is 2.7 gb but all of my photos arent there. Then when I click manage storage it says camera roll 2.0 gb is there any way i can get my photos back? please help

If you use the same iCloud ID and before you will get your contact, calendar and notes and other iCloud things back. If your previously has PhotoStream one you will also get back the last 30 days of photos.
It appears you do not use the same iCloud ID.
What do you see for Contacts, Calendar and Notes when you go to icloud.com and sing in with the same ID. You need a computer browser.

Are there any possible reason RMAN generates some corrupt archive log files

Dear all,
Are there any possible reason RMAN generates some corrupt archive log files?

Because I try to perform daily backup at lunch time and found out it takes more than 1 hour had no any progress. Normally we take around 40 minus. The following is the log file:
RMAN> Run

3> CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
4> CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/u03/db/backup/RMAN/%F.bck';

current log archived
After that I go to archive log directory "/u02/oracle/uat/uatdb/9.2.0/dbs" and use ls -lt command to see how many archive logs and my screen just hang. After we found out that we cannot use ls -lt command to read arch1_171.dbf
archive log, the rest of archive logs able to use ls -lt command.
We cannot delete this file as well. We shutdown database abort and perform check disk...... and fix the disk error and then open database again. Everything seems back to normal and we can use ls -lt command to read arch1_171.dbf.
The strange problem is we have the same problem in Development and Production..... one ore more archive logs seems to be corrupted under the same directories /u02/oracle/uat/uatdb/9.2.0/dbs.
Does anyone encounter the same problem?

Is there any possibility of connection between QM notifications and the WL in Collection Management?

Dear ALL,
Our duty is to find any possibility to show (and to manage, of course) on the Collection WorkList, not only open items already registered in FI-AR, but also any notification registered under the QM module, bearing in mind that it is not an open item, yet.
Is there any possibility?
Thanks in advance.

in short the answer is no.
You could look at customer disputed objects and using them, but you would need to re-key the data, there is no standard way of transfering data from QM to create a dispute.

Up to now there is no transaction available with such information. The databases partially offer solutions.
These are switched on by default of have to be setup before they could be used. So it depends on the
database and the database version which are you using.
On ORACLE 10g for example we have the AWR (Automatic Workload Repository) which should be switched on by default (depends again on the license). On ORACLE 9i statspack is available but has to be activated first.
On DB6 (latest database and SAP release) we have the so called performance warehouse.
On other databases there might be solutions too.
Besides that you can always built your own solution and grab the top 10 SQL statements from the SQL cache and
persist them in regular intervals. I have seen such solutions as well.
Kind regards,
Hermann

Hi there, i want to buy a registered version of PS CS4 (and an Upgrade to CS6)from a private Person...is there any Possibility to check if the Adobe ID,Licence,User is a real person...or a fake before buying it? Thanks for helping!

Hi,
just got an offer from a private Person, who owns a boxed Version of Photoshop CS4 (DVD) and an Upgrade from CS4 to CS6....he told me that he can transfer the current license to me... now there's one important question for me...
Is there any possibility to check his Adobe-ID (which he already told me) if it's the same adress, name,etc. as he told me...
or if there is an registered Version of PS CS4 owned by this Adobe-ID?
Just like to check if he's a real person or a fake...don't want to buy any stolen or illegal software...or beeing punked after paying the money...
Thank you very much for helping me! :-)
Chriss

Old versions of Photoshop are not marketed by Adobe. Only CS5 can be upgraded to CS6. There are many scams on the web if you find a cheap copy of Photoshop out there its most likely a scam... Be careful.....

My documents on my iCloud storage got automatically deleted, is there any possible way to recover them? They're nearly 1GB and very important to me.

On January 26th, I downloaded iCloud for Windows and logged in using my account which was the same with the one on my Mac. 2 days later, at 3:27 PM January 28th, my 1 GB of documents on my iCloud storage got deleted automatically. I'm saying this because at that time I was sleeping and both my Mac and my Windows PC are turned off, and I'm home alone, besides there was no suspicious login reported to me by Apple.
So is there any possible way to recover these documents? I'm a teacher and they're very important to me. My Time Machine wasn't enabled so using it is useless.
Thank you so much for any help.

Please please help me, if you know how.
