Make sure 3g contacts aren't over-written in Itunes?

Sorry but the search came back with a zillion of confusing results. hence this post!!
I make a lot of iphone contact corrections or changes as my day's work/play goes on and "want to make sure" when i sync my 3g in Itunes version 8..... it doesn't over write my phones contacts.
How can I make sure this doesn't happen the next time I sync.....?

Hi Jay,
You can Reset the Sync History in iTunes> Preferences> Devices. This would make iTunes ask if you want to merge or replace the data.
You can find more information about Resetting the Sync History and troubleshooting contact and calendar syncing issues here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1692

There a way to make sure two elements aren't randomly chosen twice?

I want to make an array of 52 cards - then draw 21, but I want to make sure not to have any duplicates....
Is there some easy way with ArrayLists or Linked lists to accomplish this?
I am going to make a second array of random cards and thought of somehow making a variable or logic that reports that the card is taken, but I cant help but think there is a way to shrink the array as I take the card out or something like that.
Help?

I have iPhone 4 and am currently using ActiveSync; however the contacts aren't backing up in iTunes, only the ones that I entered directly on my phone? What am I doing wrong?

I have iPhone 4 and am using ActiveSync for contacts/calendar. Problem I'm having is that when I sync in iTunes, only the contacts that I manually enter are being backed up. I'm concerned about losing my Outlook contacts as well.

If you're using ActiveSync, the contacts are not local to the phone. They are cached, on the phone, but they exist primarily on the Exchange Server that it's tied to. They do not back up like local contacts do. The same goes for the calendar.

How can I make sure my power fan is still working?

I haven't heard it go off in a while and there's a whole lot of heat getting pushed out by case fan. I'm worried about the oncoming summer heat waves; I'd like this machine to last until next year.
How does a little overheating affect system performance?

If you feel a strong movement of hot air being vented out the back by the power supply's fan, at least you know that it's doing its job. With the computer ON, open the side panel and check the larger fan for proper operation. Does it appear to be covered with brown dust? You can use a can of compressed air to blow off the dust, or (preferably) remove the fan (with mounting bracket) and clean the individual blades. Placement of the computer affects the fans' capability to freely draw in outside air, as well as exhaust hot air. Make sure that there aren't any obstructions to either. Fans can eventually slow down or stop turning, as their magnetic field weakens. When the power supply fans slows down to the point that the supply gets too hot, the thermal trip will turn OFF the computer. The larger case fan doesn't cause the computer to shut down, when it starts to fail. If replacement is needed, you should replace them with ones having better CFM ratings and lower noise levels than the originals. Additionally, you could remove the processor's heat sink and use alcohol to remove the residual thermal compound from the processor and sink (remove the OEM thermal pad on the heat sink - if any). Apply a small amount of a quality thermal compound ("Arctic Silver" or equivalent) to the processor, then reinstall the heat sink, noting the proper orientation of the retainer clip. When installed correctly, its offset pressure point should be directly above the processor.

I have an ipod 4th gen. and it locked itself for 23 million minutes. I know how to clear everything off of it, and return it to factory settings, but I want to check and make sure I'm backed up by itunes or icloud first. How would I check?

I need to find a way to make sure I'm backed up by icloud or itunes before it's reset.

For iTunes backup go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and look at the date of the late backup.
For iCloud backup you have to have another iOS device signed int iCloud and then go to Settings>iCloud>Backup and look.
If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:
Disabled Recovery-must use syncing computer.

how do i make sure the changes i make on my iphone over-ride my contacts in yahoo and outlook?

You can turn iMessage off on your iPhone. That's relatively easy. Since iMessage is an Apple product/service, I have no idea how a Samsung phone will deal with an incoming one. For that answer you should probably contact Samsung support.

How can I make sure that itunes saved contacts and photos FROM my iPhone on last back up ?, i just bought this phone and store transfer contacts from old non-smart phone and dont want to loose them !

Look in whatever software on your computer handles your contacts and photos. Neither will be part of the backup file. This may be of help:

Hi
In BO 4.0 SP 9 when a administrator tries to schedule a report via CMC there is no error
But when a user schedules a report and the destination is FTP location -> Use default settings he gets following error
Destination disabled. []: [CrystalEnterprise.Ftp]. Please note the name of the job server used for your request and contact your system administrator to make sure the specified destination is enabled. (FWB 00031)
There is only one Job Server and the destinations are enabled in it
There is no Job server for Crystal Reports Job Server
Do i need to create it and how.

Please check if you have proper rights to schedule to FTP. You can create a new job server, whenever you schedule it, there are multiple job servers, it will handle based on the load. But it is not mandatory, depends on the load.

So lately my ipad has been syncing my mom's music. I go on to itunes to make sure those albums have not been selected under my ipad and they AREN'T. Someone please help! How do I other music from syncing to my ipad?

My whole family shares the same MacBook and itunes library.
For awhile my ipad has been syncing other peoples music to my ipad, and when I check on itunes these albums aren't even selected.
Someone please help me!!!! How do I stop the unselected music from being synced to my ipad? (and for specific music, my ipad won't let me delete some music right from my music app)

My wife, daughter and I all shared one iTunes library on one Mac and synced 6 different devices and never had problems selecting exactly what we want to sync to each device.
Even though you do not have these particular songs or bums selected to sync, do you have "Sync only checked songs and Videos" in the Summary Tab of iTune? If you don't have that option selected, makes sure that you so check it before you sync again.
You should be able to swipe across songs in the songs tab of the music app - Swiping from Right to Left - and that will bring up the Red Delete Button. You cannot delete entire albums but holding down on the icon to bring up the X on the album icon. That doesn't work in iOS. 7.
If you are seeing songs in the Music app with the cloud icon on the right hand side, those songs are not on your iPad but are in iCloud and can be downloaded if you want to do so. If you do not want to see those songs, go to Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Show All>Music>Off.

IPod Touch 4gen disabled "The iPod Software update server could not be contacted" Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active or try again later. Please help!

My daughter forgot her passcode. Her iPod Touch 4gen is disabled. I've tried everything I've read online. I get to the "Restore" part on iTunes and then I get the message, "The iPod Software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network connections are correct and your network connection is active or try again later." How can this be so hard to do? Why isn't there a simpler solution. I live 2 hours from the nearest Apple store. Any advice you may offer would be very much appreciated.

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

This is an error from my HP scanner. How can I fix the problem? An error has occurred saving the file because it could not be written to. Check the properties for the file to make sure it is not read-only.

I recently uploaded the Maverick operating system. I wanted to scan some things on my HP Printer/Scanner and could not . This is the error message I received: An error has occurred saving the file because it could not be written to. Check the properties for the file to make sure it is not read-only. I am a novice with the computer and have no one to help. I hope someone knows an easy fix.
Thank you

This worked for me:
"Although it is not a 'fix' for the HP issue, I did find a workaround that helped me. In the Preferences Panel in MacOS X you can pull up the Printer/Scanner preferences and scan directly from OS X. I'd not known of this prior to posting here and it worked like a charm."
"Of course, HP should still update their software, but it's good to know that Apple has it covered for them."

The whole configure over WAN thing is confusing me I don't want anyone to be able to access my airport extreme over the WAN. How can I check to make sure that is the way I have it setup?

I just bought a new airport extreme and I want to make sure that is NOT set up for "configure over WAN". How do I check to make sure that is how I have it set up? I only want access to the base via WPA2 password

Open AirPort Utility, select the AirPort Extreme, and click Manual Setup
Click the Base Station tab located just below the row of icons
Remove any check mark that might be in the box next to Allow Setup over WAN
Click Update to save your settings and the AirPort Extreme will restart in 25-30 seconds
For what it is worth, if you leave the box checked, any computer that tries to access the settings on the Airport Extreme will be asked for the device password....not the wireless network password.
