Needing help with syncing without erasing PLEASE!!

My computer had to be reset to factory settings. I re-downloaded itunes and attempted to sync my ipad but it says it will erase my ipad & replace with whats in the itunes since it is synced with another library. This is the same computer that it was synced with originally but as i said i had to reset it. I have transfered all my purchases but I have a lot of music and some movies that i didnt purchase that i would like to keep. I checked the manually manage music box but it still says the same thing. Can anyone help please???!!!!

You should be able to:
Disable automatic syncing of devices (Edit > Preferences > Devices)
Backup the device to the new installation (Right-click device > Back Up)
Transfer your purchases into your authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in the apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

Need help with flash player installation please !!!!

Hello,
I need help with my flash player installation because every time I access a movie this is the message I receive.
This content on Xfinity TV is not available for viewing with Chrome's "Incognito" mode. To play this video using Chrome, please view this page without "Incognito" mode.
Still having problems? Try resetting your Flash player license.

Incognito mode is a Google Chrome setting when you open a new window (Cmd+Shift+N on a Mac Ctrl+Shift+N on Windows) It opens a "private" window with no cookies and no tracking. The problem with it is that when you disable cookies, your license files are not sent to the site (whetehr it's YouTube or xFinity or any other that uses license files for paid content) and it treats you as if you're a first time visitor. Paid videos won't play wihtout the cookies sending the license file info.
This isn't a Flash Player setting. It's in Chrome. I did some research and according to Google, "Incignito" mode is off by default, and can ONLY be activate by the keyboard shortcut. There IS a way to disable it from the registry http://dev.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#IncognitoModeAvailability

Need help with threads?.. please check my approach!!

Hello frnds,
I am trying to write a program.. who monitors my external tool.. please check my way of doing it.. as whenever i write programs having thread.. i end up goosy.. :(
first let me tell.. what I want from program.. I have to start an external tool.. on separate thread.. (as it takes some time).. then it takes some arguments(3 arguments).. from file.. so i read the file.. and have to run tool.. continously.. until there are arguments left.. in file.. or.. user has stopped it by pressing STOP button..
I have to put a marker in file too.. so that.. if program started again.. file is read from marker postion.. !!
Hope I make clear.. what am trying to do!!
My approach is like..
1. Have two buttons.. START and STOP on Frame..
START--> pressed
2. check marker("$" sign.. placed in beginning of file during start).. on file..
     read File from marker.. got 3 arg.. pass it to tool.. and run it.. (on separate thread).. put marker.. (for next reading)
     Step 2.. continously..
3. STOP--> pressed
     until last thread.. stops.. keep running the tool.. and when last thread stops.. stop reading any more arguments..
Question is:
1. Should i read file again and again.. ?.. or read it once after "$" sign.. store data in array.. and once stopped pressed.. read file again.. and put marker ("$" sign) at last read line..
2. how should i know when my thread has stopped.. so I start tool again??.. am totally confused.. !!
please modify my approach.. if u find anything odd..
Thanks a lot in advance

Hello,
I have no experience with threads or with having more than run "program" in a single java file. All my java files have the same structure. This master.java looks something like this:
---master.java---------------------------------------------------
import java.sql.*;
import...
public class Master {
public static void main(String args []) throws SQLException, IOException {
//create connection pool here
while (true) { // start loop here (each loop takes about five minutes)
// set values of variables
// select a slave process to run (from a list of slave programs)
execute selected slave program
// check for loop exit value
} // end while loop
System.out.println("Program Complete");
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Error: " + e);
} finally {
if (rSet1 != null)
try { rSet1.close(); } catch( SQLException ignore ) { /* ignored */ }
connection.close();
-------end master.java--------------------------------------------------------
This master.java program will run continuously for days or weeks, each time through the loop starting another slave process which runs for five minutes to up to an hour, which means there may be ten to twenty of these slave processes running simultaneously.
I believe threads is the best way to do this, but I don't know where to locate these slave programs: either inside the master.java program or separate slave.java files? I will need help with either method.
Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I need help with syncing

Hello, I recently downloaded Itunes on my computer for back up reasons. when it finished downloading I had to log off on my user and went on a different one on the same computer. I synced my Ipod touch on this user cuz I thought it would be synced on the entire computer (as you can tell Im not good with computers) then the next day I loged on to MY user on the same computer and went on Itunes but it said it was synced with a different library and I knew if you sync to a different one all your songs will be deleted and I cant do that because I purchased ALL the songs on there. So if there is a simple way to explain it to me that would be great but I was wondering if I transferre my purchases on to the library I want it on then erase and sync will that work or will the songs that I transfered still be erased PLEASE HELP I NEED TO KNOW AND I HAVE BENN LOOKING NON STOP FOR 2 WEEKS STRAIGHT (I know thats not alot but I really need to know what to do)
Please and thank you

One way to do it, is to go into my computerand open your iPod so that you can see hidden files and folders, and then to select all songs and just simply drag them to the iTunes library.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.
There is also CopyPod. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

Need Help with Migration...Please

Hello,
I need help! I just bought a new MacBook Pro. In house, I have a two year old iMac running Mavericks (all updated) and an iPhone and iPad (both running the most current OS). I also have the iMac connected to a Time Capsule. Here are my questions:
1. As I am not replacing the iMac, but rather adding a MacBook Pro to the mix, should I migrate the software, settings, files, etc. from the iMac to the MacBook? Is there an issue running computers which are clones in the same environment? Is it a bad idea to migrate?
2. Assuming # 1 is okay to migrate, what is the best way? Is it best directly from the iMac or from the Time Capsule? I do have a Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter on hand.
3. Is there a link that would help me navigate the migration?
4. How long should the migration in #2 take?
5. Will I need to change any settings on the iMac, iPhone, or iPad afterwards?
6. Will my contacts and calendar sync with iCloud automatically, or do I have to change a setting on the MacBook to make that happen?
7. Also, as I'm leaving town tomorrow and want to take the MacBook Pro with me and I'm unsure I've the time to Migrate and tweak, can I jus turn on the MacBook (still not turned on), use it as it is, and then migrate when I get back home?
Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thank you!

Need Help with new site glitches PLEASE!!!

I need help trouble shooting a website. The site is
www.farrowandwatkins.com. Nav buttons on Mac they display correctly
which is aligned at top and bottom of content to left on Home page.
However, when viewed on PC, the buttons spread to fill the
distance of the "Patients" Page. All the pages spread to this
length also, but are not suppose to.
Nav buttons have padding of 10 on bottom, except last one.
Please help if you can

First guess would be that there doesn't seem to be a fixed
height or width on the cell for the 'patients' button.

I need help with the https class please.

Hello, i need add an authentication field in my GET request using HTTPS to authenticate users. I put the authentication field using the setRequestProperty method, but it doesn't appear when i print all properties using the getRequestProperties method. I wrote the following code:
try{
URL url = new URL ("https://my_url..");
URLConnection conexion;
conexion = url.openConnection();
conexion.setRequestProperty("Authorization",my_urlEncoder_string);
conexion.setRequestProperty("Host",my_loginServer);
HttpsURLConnection httpsConexion = (HttpsURLConnection) conexion;
httpsConexion.setRequestMethod("GET");
System.out.println("All properties\r\n: " + httpsConexion.getRequestProperties());
}catch ....
when i run the program it show the following text:
All properties: {Host=[my_loginServer]}
Only the Host field is added to my HttpsURLConnection. The authentication field doesnt appear in standar output. How can i add to my HttpsURLConnection an Authentication field?
thanks

I have moved this to the main Dreamweaver forum, as the other forum is intended to deal with the Getting Started video tutorial.
The best way to get help with layout problems is to upload the files to a website and post the URL in the forum. Someone can then look at the code, and identify the problem. Judging from your description, it sounds as though the Document window is narrow, which would result in the final menu tab dropping down to the next row. Try turning on Live view or previewing the page in a browser. Design view gives only an approximate idea of the final layout. Live view renders the page as it should look in a browser.

I just bought my MacBook Pro 13" and I tried to install an anti virus but then it went into a grey folder with a question mark I need help with restoring the iOS please

I need help taking out the grey folder with the question mark and I've try everything except the CD thing because my MacBook didn't come with one so I really need help please

What anti-virus software did you install? Although there's a lot of bad anti-virus software out there, no anti-virus software should cause such a problem. A gray screen with a flashing question mark on a folder means that no bootable system could be found, which means that the system was badly damaged or corrupt. Even installing bad software would not normally cause that, so either there was something badly wrong with the system already or the anti-virus software you tried to install was really, really bad!
As mende1 says, you need to reinstall the system at this point. After your system is back up and running, read my Mac Malware Guide. If, after reading that, you want anti-virus software, use one of the programms recommended in that guide.

I need help with the navigation menu please?

I have been working my way through your six part printed instructions and I am styling the header and navigation menu. The bullet points disappeared which was correct and the tabs moved to the right, as they should, but one tab sits underneath another tab and all tabs are covered up by my main heading. This is dreamweaver CS6.
It looks a bit of a mess!

Need help with syncing, PLEASE

Need to sync 2 iphones (one a 4g other a 3g) each one to a separate computer (wife's desktop with win 7, I have a laptop win vista) and I have only one itune account. I would like to be able to sync all apps to each phone, BUT I only want to sync her contact/address book to hers and only my contacts /address book to my phone.
Is it POSSIBLE?
Any suggestion and help will be appreciated...
Don

Since all 3rd party apps are available in the iTunes library on your computer and you are sharing the same iTunes account, she can sync iTunes content only with iTunes on your computer - music, movies, tv shows, and 3rd party apps without syncing contacts with a supported address book application on your computer. She won't have sync contacts selected under the Info tab for her iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your computer. She can sync contacts only with a supported address book application on her computer. She won't have Sync Music, Sync Movies, Sync TV Shows, and Sync Apps under these tabs for her iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on her computer.

Open itunes, connect iphone, click File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
This will transfer itunes purchases from iphone to computer.
Then select everything that you want on your iphone and sync.

Thanks.

" So I bought a new computer but it wont let me synce with out deleting all of my music on my ipod because it says it can only be synced to one computer"
That is correct.
the ipod is not a backup device. the music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
