Pick up where you left off with iMessage on handoff

Okay so you know how with Mail you can start an email and then finish it on a Mac with handoff, well I was wondering if anyone knows how to (if it's possible) to do the same thing with iMessage. Atm I can start a text on my iPhone and it pops up in bottom left corner of my mac dock but there is no text in the message bar to "continue" from, so basically it doesn't allow continuity for this app.
Help

I'm having this exact issue. I don't get why handoff is so buggy.

If I'm reading a book on the iPhone and I want to pick up where I left off on my iPad, do I have to search for what page I was on on the iPad or is there a way to sync it?

If I'm reading a book on the iPhone and I want to pick up where I left off on my iPad, do I have to search for what page I was on on the iPad or is there a way to sync it? Or do I just have to search for a string of text from my iPhone on my iPad?

On both devices go to Settings>iBooks>Sync Bookmarks>On. Then when you want to quit reading on one device, tap the bookmark in the upper right corner and it will turn red. That marks your place. Close the book on the device now by tapping on the Library button in the upper left corner of the app. That will put the closed book back on the shelf. Tap the home button.
On the other device, when you tap on the book, it should open to that page. You have to be connected to WiFi in order for this to work. You can read this older discussion for more information. I was involved in that as well.

Is it possible to have an audio book being read from an ipod nano - 6th generation - to pick up where it left off?

I just downloaded "Audible" so that I could listen to audio books on my 6th generation nano. When I shut off the ipod in the middle of a chapter and turn it back on, the book picks up at the start of the chapter. Is there a way to pick up where I left off?

They should automatically pick up right where you left off. I'm not sure what you mean that you just downloaded Audible.
Sync the audiobooks to the iPod and listen to them there by tapping the audiobooks icon on your Nano

Why Won't My Podcast Pick Up Where It Left Off Downloading Like Others?

All the podcasts I subscribe to will pick up where it left off before it was cut off. That is, if I got to 30 MB out of 50 MB when an error occured, most podcasts pick up again at 30 MB isntead of starting back at 1 MB. Mine just get near the end and then start all over again after an error occurs.
What's wrong?

Hi Dalton,
Did you ever find a solution for this? I'm trying to download a 600mb video pocast from iTunes U and my internet connection is pretty shabby and drops out constantly, I get about 30mb in 5 minutes, then it drops out for 10 seconds or so and STUPID iTunes re-starts it from scratch...
This is extremely annoying, thank God I didn't ever try to purchase a movie from iTunes, I would never be able to fully download it!

Deleting in Lion OS - How to pick up where I left off?

Not sure if many of you are familiar with this.
In Snow Leopard, say if you are browsing a large selection of files or images, and as your hit the "down" arrow key, you come across a file you want to delete. You then cmd-del and it's gone, the next file is then highlighted, and u can continue hitting the arrow key to continue browsing from where you left off.
In Lion, I noticed once I delete a file, it doesn't select the next file, so when I hit the "down" arrow, it starts right from the top!!!
It's actually quite annoying...anyone know if there's a solution or alternative approach?

Anyone? Someone? No One? =(

Does the iPhone remember where you left off in podcasts? What's the latest

The music player in my Nokia phone only remembers where you left off for the last track-- switch tracks or turn off the phone and it returns you to the beginning of the track! It's absolutely annoying and renders the podcast playing feature almost useless.
I've been looking at the iPhone and iPod Touch and found a bunch of threads in the forums that indicate that both have had similar problems (though there are some workarounds).
Has Apple fixed this? Do the iPhone and iPod Touch now remember where you left off for EACH podcast you were listening to?
It would be wonderful if that were the case and might stop my fence sitting on buying one!

I've had my iPhone for several months and this is the most aggravating issue. Before finding this thread I had no idea why or when it would lose it's place. If it's only happening when you synch that's good to know, but not much of a work-around.
Where the iPhone had my old iPod beat was the fact that my podcasts were always magically up to date. This is because the iPhone is always getting plugged in to charge and synch while the iPod stayed in the car all week.
I hope someone will post back with more details for work-arounds.
Better yet, I hope Apple fixes this bug. AND, makes navigating within long audio files (i.e. podcasts) as elegant as it was on my old clickwheel iPod.

Is there a way to get Aperture to remember where you left off?

I find it a pain that even when switching between projects, Aperture always jumps back to the first image in a project.
Is there a way to get Aperture to remember where you left off? (plist setting?)

Do you create a new tab when you open a new project or album? Hold down the Cmnd key as you click on a project or album, you get a new tab in the browser. Aperture remembers where you were in each tab.

HT5544 Can iBooks remember my page between devices? Can I pick up where I left off on my iPad with my iPhone?

With Kindle and the Kindle app, if I change devices I am asked if I want to resume reading where I left off on <device> at <date and time>. I was trying to continue reading on my phone where I left off on my iPad. I have been unable to do this. Is it possible? I will decide which service to use for my next book purchase (the cost is the same on both Kindle and iBooks).

You should be able do it with iBooks - go into Settings > iBooks on both devices and set Sync Bookmarks 'on'

How to play podcasts in order, and how to pick up where I left off?

I have several music podcasts I listen to. I made Smart playlists for each, so the podcasts show up in Playlists. Two questions: How do I play them in order? And, after I pause after listening to one, how do I continue listening when I wish? With the previous generation (the one with video capabilities), I could highlight the Smart playlist in Playlists and click the "play" button...all podcasts would play in order. If I switched away from the podcast and listened to the radio or even a different podcast, my Nano would remember where I left off. I love the new Nano and its tiny size, but the podcast thing is driving me batty. Thank you for your help.

Okay, I'm a dork. I accidentally swiped my volume screen this morning, and discovered the answers to all of my questions.

[Subscription] Mark where you left off in a big playlist

I listen to a lot of big playlists between home, work and my car to find new music for my own playlists and I'll methodically listen to each song in order so that I don't lose my spot and listen to songs I've already been through. So right now, I write down on a notepad what song I'm currently on so I can start at that spot when I change where I'm listening. It'd be nice for Premium members if we could just mark our spot in a playlist so we can continue where we left off.

Can I pick up from where I left off with my Adobe Captivate subscription?

Hello,
I had a subscription for Adobe Captivate for almost two years. I fulfilled my 12-month requirement, and paid my monthly subscription price for another 10 months after that.
About 6 months ago now, I canceled my subscription.
Question: Is there a way to simply reactive my subscription?

Hi There,
The best way is to place a new order of Captivate 8 annual subscription online by visiting our website :-
Elearning Software, Screen Capture, Mobile Learning, HTML5 Publishing | Adobe Captivate 8
Click on buy and then choose subscription under I want to buy drop down menu and place a new order by which you will not face any billing/ credit card issues in future.

Power of Java to pick up where it left off

I am trying to develop a java application where if at some point a trigger is made, the JVM is stopped, and somehow saved somewhere / somehow and sent to another computer where this new pc will then carry on. Firstly is this possible?
It would be okay for there to be a slight delay and at the moment i am thinking about serializing the objects to the other system but i dont know if that would work. Any ideas?

Indeed it is but as a (possible) final year university
project unfortunately it has to be. It may be too ambitious for that.
The serialization point was merly my first thought but
after looking at the messages on this forum
possibilites of javaspaces, RMI and maybee even a
CORBA implementation have jumped out as being
technologies to help me. I have unfortunately not much
experiance with any of these and so any explanation of
either / any of them would be great.
Thanks.javaspaces - possibly, but I'm not so sure.
RMI - yes, this could help.
CORBA - CORBA technology is not specific to Java. RMI uses CORBA. You shouldn't have to think about CORBA (until you get vague CORBA exceptions)
The transferral of the data is the easy part. I think what's going to make this difficult is trying to Serialize an entire application. The only things that get serialized are non-static members of classes. If you Serialize a non-Serializable class, there are is no guarantee it will work. That means for this to work the way you are proposing, you cannot have any static varaibles and you cannot have any classes that are not Serializable in the application. These are very heavy constraints. It's going to be difficult to write a useful Java app that doesn't use static variables. And if you do, your process will only work with such applications. In addition, there are many classes in the SDK that aren't Serializable, so you can't use any of those either. Last of all, if for any reason the available classes on one JVM don't match up exactly with the available classes on another, the whole process will blow up in your face.

How do I make Mac remember where I left off a TV Show on my Apple TV?

I have Lion OS and iOS5 on my iDevices. Still when I watch a TV show from my Apple TV, and then resume on my Mac, the Mac doesn't know where I left off the TV show. Nor does Mac mark a TV show as watched if I have already seen it on Apple TV.
Is there a way to remember where I left off in a TV show across devices?

I'd think ..... it will by default remember the playback poition on my Mac anyway. Or am I missing something?
That's not generally what happens when you open most other documents, by default you are taken back to the begriming or first page, obviously it's something you might want to do with a movie so iTunes includes this option (although yes it's set by default). many other movie applications don't remember where you left off.
>>> OK, but just to be sure, Apple is not really leveraging iCloud in this case, which is unfortunate (See more below).
Second, does it mean that if I download the TV Show on iPad, it will remember the position there as well? Or will it start from the beginning only?
If you stream the movie from the iTunes Library on your mac to your iPad it will remember the position,
>> How does one "stream" a movie from Mac to iPad? Streaming is only done to an Apple TV as far as I know
but if you play it from a file on the iPad (i.e. downloaded or synced) then it's essentially another file on another device and that device will have no idea where you left off in another file on your mac.
>> Ok for the downloaded case. But in the case of synced, actually it does remember where I left off, doesn't it?
>> What I am a bit baffled by is why Apple couldn't sync media playback position via iCloud. So, I watch a TV show on my Mac (or Apple TV), and it just syncs playback position periodically to iCloud and then to all devices, so that I can pick up on any device. Say I am leaving the house and now want to switch to iPad from Apple TV, iPad will remember where I left off.

Zen Xtra no longer remembers where I left off in a tr

Hi,
I downloaded and installed the most recent drivers and firmware for my Zen Xtra, and now it doesn't remember where I left off in a track. I listen to long audiobooks in my car so this is very important.
I used to be able to power down and then when I came back to my car I could just turn it back on and pick up where I left off. Now it always goes back to where I left off many sessions ago, no matter how much I have played since then. In one particular audio book it always goes back to 2:59:0 or something, which is where I left off many many sessions ago.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
chris.

Both my 1st and 3rd generation models still work with resume, as does my 2nd generation models.
You are not on your own though, as others have reported similar issues. As yet I haven't seen a solution, but wonder what happens if you hold down the centre button and mark the movie as watched or unwatched and then try again.

Fails then starts where it left off? No it does not!

I am very frustrated with TC. I just bought it yesterday and have been trying since then--almost 24 hours to do my first back up. It has failed three times and I have spoken to applecare twice about it. Each time I have to restart the whole process again even though it clearly says that the TC should start where it left off if it stopped unexpectedly. This is so annoying and frustrating! Hours, and hours wasted!

Are you performing your backup wirelessly or via ethernet? It's suggested to connect via ethernet for the first backup and switch to wireless for following backups.
The reason it doesn't pick up where it left off is that the first backup needs to complete. I think that only happens after you complete the first backup. If the initial backup is interrupted, the sparsebundle file becomes corrupt and the backup needs to be started over. It's probably best to delete the sparsebundle file before backing up again.
