    my computer crashed and had to be restored to factory settings losing ituness collection of music. My ipad has my itunes library. how do i get the music collection from the ipad to the computer?

    You should be able to copy iTunes purchases over to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. For music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) you will need a third-party program to copy them back from your iPad - there are some listed half-way down this page which should work : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • How can I obtain the primary key of a table for an entity relation?

    hello everybody
    I am doing a consultation to a table in my data base, good this table has alone two fields, the first one is the code or pk and the second one is the description, to be presisos they are names of city and code.
    From the beginning!!: This method this one in another class that is a Dialog that is going to call to the class SelecPlace ();
      SelecPlace sl = new SelecPlace();
    public void capturarLugar(){  //  Simple void method in the mentioned class
            String place = txtProcedencia.getText() ;  //  a JTextField
            sl.executeStatement(place) ;                  
        }ok, now we see part of the code of the class SelectPlace
    public class SelecPlace extends AbstractTableModel{
        Connection con = null;
        Statement sentencia = null ;
        ResultSet rs = null;
        ResultSetMetaData rsmd = null ;
        String[] nameColum = {} ;
        Vector datos = new Vector() ;
        public SelecPlace() { }
        public void executeStatement(String query){
          try{
             con = DBManager.getConnection() ;
             sentencia = con.createStatement(rs.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE,
                                                                          rs.CONCUR_UPDATABLE) ;
             String sql = "select * from Place where descripcion like %"+query+"%'";
              rs = sentencia.executeQuery(sql) ;
              rsmd = rs.getMetaData();
              int nroColumnas = rsmd.getColumnCount() ;
              nameColum = new String[nroColumnas] ;
              //obtengo los nombres de columnas en cache
               for(int colum = 0; colum < nroColumnas; columna++){
                    nameColum[colum] = rsmd.getColumnLabel(columna + 1) ;
               datos = new Vector();
                while(rs.next()){
                    Vector newRow = new Vector();
                    for(int i = 0; i < getColumnCount(); i++){
                    newRow.addElement(rs.getObject("place_ID"));
                    newRow.addElement(rs.getObject("description"));
                    datos.addElement(nuevaFila);
                fireTableChanged(null);
            }catch(SQLException e){
                System.err.println(e);
                e.printStackTrace(System.err);
                System.out.println("error in statement");
            }catch(ClassNotFoundException cnfe){
                System.err.println(cnfe);
        }Ok, this code me works and I obtain in this case the field description of the table Place
    Now my question is, how can I obtain the primary field of my table?
    I need this value of this field that in the base of information in a bigint, and to take it to the first class before mentioned, for that I am working with a data base related

    Certain duffymo and everyone!!, good I give you my scheme:
    And generalizing my question, I want to obtain the value of the primary key of a table in the database, I obtain more values of the same row, but I need the primary key, and you see one with the primary key I want to turn a Long and it to insert with code java in foreign clave in another table of the database
    Good of this form I believe that it would not be breaking the integrity relacional of the tables

  • How can I remove the "enter" key from the keyboard? (New Macbook)

    I have the last white macbook, I spilled beer in a couple of keys, I managed to removed them without problems, but I can't find the way to remove the Enter Key, and there is no help on internet Anyone?

    What characters are you talking about exactly and why would you want to remove any?
    There is really no way to modify Apple's keyboards or add your own in iOS, but there are some apps that may provide a work around.

  • How can I get the Iphone receipts from Apple Store Millenia Orlando?

    To all, back January 2011 in Orlando, I bought 2 Iphones locked at AT&T. In that time I paid full price without AT&T contract. Now, I contact AT&T to unlock them and they are asking me the receipts proving that I bought them with full price.
    I don1t have the receipts anymore, so how can I get a copy of them?
    An important detail, I live in Brazil so I can not go to the Apple Store to claim for a new copy.
    Do you have any idea how I could have these receipts?
    Thanks

    If you paid with debit or credit card, try contacting the
    financial institute that issued the card. Look through
    your old statements to see if the entry is there. Search
    your emails if you chose to have the receipt emailed to
    you.

  • Lost my ipod nano.  How can i get the Serial Number from apple?

    Hi everyone, I recently Lost my ipod nano at work. How can i recover my serial number. I did register the ipod throgh itunes. Is there a way I can get my serial number incase someone at my work finds it and returns it so i can give security my serial number to prove that it is my ipod? thanks

    Hello franciscor,
    Sadly, there isn't much else Apple can do for you in this situation. However, I can tell you that there are a few other methods that can be used to retrieve your iPod's serial number other than from off the unit itself. Check out this Apple support document for more information. Hope it helps.

  • How can I enter the sync key from my phone? Clicking "add a device" in Firefox 4b11 does nothing.

    I'm running Firefox 4b11 on Windows 7 and nothing I do allows me to add my phone to sync. Clicking on "add a device", "change password," or "My Sync Key" does nothing, so I can't even get my sync key to add the phone manually.

    You should be able to add a device by opening the Firefox Mobile preferences and then scrolling to the Sync section. Press the connect button and you will get a 12 character pass phrase. On your desktop open the options window and then the Sync tab then use the add a device button to enter the 12 character code from your mobile.
    If you are not near your computer you will need the Sync Key that was given to you when setting up Sync.

  • HT1349 My Ipad was stolen, How can I get the serial Number from Apple. It was registered with them

    I had  2 Ipads, a mac book pro and a Mac Air stolen 2 weeks ago
    I am trying to locate one of the serial numbers, but cant find the last box.  Can I get the serial number from Apple. It was registered and now it is not showing up as one of my products.
    Thanks

    The easiest way to find your serial number is this Open Itunes...click help... run diagnostics.....(tick or untick as necessary) so that you just have ticked the last two,  device connectivity and device sync.  run these tests. it will say no ipod/ipad found but will give results of test....scroll down to bottom of results... here you will find the serial number of your last attached devices.

  • How to obtain Sync Recovery Key from Android Firefox?

    Desktop sync is broken and instructs to obtain "Your Recovery Key" from a working device. Only working device is Android Firefox. What is the magic incantation to get Firefox (v21 beta) on Android to reveal the needed sync Recovery Key?

    You can use:
    *Android OS > Settings > Accounts > Firefox Sync > Pair a new Device
    This will give you a 12-character pairing key the you can enter in the desktop computer.
    You can look at this version of the about:synckey extension that I have modified to show the sync key in current Firefox versions (desktop and mobile).

  • How can I remove the Recovery HD from my desktop?

    Hi there, hope someone can help!
    For some reason, I have an icon for the Recovery HD on my desktop, and try as I might I can't get rid of it!
    I've tried:
    Unmounting disk - reappears at each boot (but not if I log out and then back in again)
    Adding the disk's ID to  /etc/fstab with the noauto option - does nothing!
    I think the icon appeared when I originally installed Lion - but from what I can see from numerous Google searches, it shouldn't be there. Just to confirm I didn't have a Recovery HD partition or create one myself prior to Lion.
    Thanks in advance,
    Jamie

    Put fstab back the way it was.

    What are the results of the following command?
    'sudo diskutil list'
    Look for the recovery partition.  Does it say that its type is 'Apple_HFS', or 'Apple_Boot'?
    To change it to 'Apple_Boot':
    'sudo asr adjust --target /dev/disk0s3 -settype "Apple_Boot" '
    Replace 'disk0s3' with whatever the recovery partition actually is.
    Then do the 'diskutil list' again and verify the type changed.
    W A R N I N G: You can erase your data when you start playing with this sort of thing.  Do at your own risk.
