Product planning and backing data to users computer

Hi, I'm learning to program on the mac and have a quick question that has popped into my head. One of the most important features in having software on the iPhone is a strong back-up process of the users data. I am struggling with different types of solutions including:
1) Creating a mac desktop client application that syncs back and forth with the iPhone (like Omnifocus does)
2) Creating a back-up process that just backs-up to mobile me (like some other applications)
3) Creating a back-up process that just stores a back-up file on the users computer
4) Doing step one and also producing a duplicate window's client as well
I really want to support iPhone users that use windows as well as mac (so I'm not limiting myself). I guess the question I have is how hard is it to port over a Mac desktop client (built with NSObjects stuff) to windows. I'm thinking it is impossible unless it is developed with pure C/C++ (because apple specific objects and such won't port).
So I think I have answered my own question with "hire a windows developer" to develop out the windows desktop client when it gets to that point.
Anyone have any feedback on how they have creatively worked through this problem?

What particular and otherwise mutable iPhone data, beyond this list spec'd by Apple, are you specifically considering as part of a procedurally strong backup/sync session?
iTunes will backup the following information:
iPhone OS 1.1 and greater
* Safari bookmarks, cookies, history, and currently open pages
* Map bookmarks, recent searches, and the current location displayed in Maps
* Application settings, preferences, and data
* Address Book and Address Book favorites
* Calendar data
* Wallpapers
* Notes
* Call history
* Mail accounts
* YouTube bookmarks
* SMS messages
* Saved suggestion corrections (these are saved automatically as you reject
suggested corrections)
* Camera roll (photos and screen shots taken by the iPhone)
* Voicemail token (this is not the Voicemail password, but is used for
validation when connecting. This is only restored to a phone with the same
phone number on the SIM card.)
* Web clips
* Network settings (saved wifi spots, VPN settings, network preferences)
* Paired Bluetooth devices (which can only be used if restored to the same
phone that did the backup)
* Keychain (this includes email account passwords, Wi-Fi passwords, and
passwords you enter into websites and some other applications. The keychain can
only be restored from backup to the same iPhone or iPod touch. If you are
restoring to a new device, you will need to fill in these passwords again.)
With iPhone 2.0 and later
* Managed Configurations/Profiles
* List of External Sync Sources (Mobile Me, Exchange ActiveSync)
* Microsoft Exchange account configurations
* Nike+iPod saved workouts and settings
* App Store Application data (except the Application itself, its tmp and Caches folder).

  • My iphone is synced and backed up with another computer which is now broken... and i have synced it with a new one but when i want to do anything itunes says all data will be erased and replaced with the current itunes library?what do i do?

    my iphone is synced and backed up with another computer which is now broken...i have synced it with my new computer  but it hasnt transfered anything over to itunes and when i try to add anything to my iphone it says all data will be erased and replaced with the current itunes? i dont want to lose all my apps and music.... i dont know how to go around this problem? i want to back it all up and sync it properly to my new computer so that is now my main computer , so i can add ring tones and music etc with out it erasing everything ive got. any answers would be great and muchly appreciated. thanks, im not sure what operating system my iphone has either.....

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything on the new one.
    It sounds like you have failed to do this, which is not good at all.
    You will have to transfer your itunes purchases from your iphone.  Authorize your computer for your itunes account 
    About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization
    Open itunes, plug in iphone, do NOT sync, click File>Transfer Purchases
    When you do sync you will lose your pics ( photo library - synced from your old computer), your itunes content ( music, apps, videos,etc) , your contacts and your calendars.  So do NOT sync yet.  This is why a backup copy is so important.
    Enter one unique contact and calendar entry on your computer.
    When you first sync, you should get the option to merger the data.  Choose it.
    If you want your pics, then you will need to e-mail them to yourself before you sync.  They will not be of the original quality as they are reduced when synced to iphone.
    When all is as goos as it can be, then backup your computer, and always maintain the backup.

  • I have an iPhone 3gs and will be getting a new iPhone 4s. Once I have updated my existing 3gs with iCloud and backed up to my computer, will I be able to transfer my existing data to my new 4s using iCloud or will I need to do this from my iMac.

    Thanks

    The Apple genius at the Apple store told me this would work. It failed. Basically, updating your iPhone 3GS to iOS5 wipes your 3GS of its data so you can't really do this. Some data worked. Music, photos etc didn't work at all.
    I suggest avoiding iCloud completely for a few weeks until Apple gets it working.

  • HT1296 was using my daughters itunes account and now have my own. If I "erase and sync" will I lose my data from my purchased games? I have transferred apps and backed up to my computer.

    One computer iTunes can support multiple Apple IDs.  One iPod can also support multiple IDs.  Don't do an "erase and sync."  Simply add your Apple ID to the computer's iTunes and to the iPod.  The only nuisance is app updating, especially if you do the updates from the computer, rather than from the iPod.

  • What parameters determine Planned order production start and end dates?

    Greetings
    We are using the graphical planning table @ MF50 to firm Planned Orders (Basically checking off "Firm Order" field within the Planned Order). We are on ECC 6.0
    Whenever I backflush, the production start and end dates get overwritten (The Basic dates do not change).
    I would like to prevent this. Can someone advise me on what parameter controls how the production start and end dates getting changed?
    Thank you
    Hanarin

    Hi,
    Calculating production dates ( Lead time scheduling) are explained in detail in the SAP help URL as below:
    If "Automatci Scheduling indicator" is set in the customizing for scheduling parameters then after every change relevant to scheduling, the production order is also automatically rescheduled before saving.
    You need to check these settings.
    regards

  • Verizon Data plan and "Delayed Data"

    Had something very odd happen with the Verizon data usage on my Xoom over the course of the past two days.
    I'm a fairly heavy user (3 Gbyte plan), and, as such, I do watch my usage using "My Verizon" - both the on-screen widget icon and via longing in to check.
    Anyway, on Monday, the screen icon was showing a bit over 2 Gb had been used (cycle ending on the 12th), and later that day (7th) I got the alert text indicating that I'd reached 75%.
    I took note of this, and decided to limit how I would use my Xoom so as to avoid going over.
    But, Tuesday, I got the text alert that I'd reached 90%, and a check of the widget icon and logging in showed my usage at 2.77 Gb. I put my Xoom into Airplane Mode until I was at home, and my WiFi connected (I made sure that it was using WiFi). I didn't do a great deal with it that would have required much data transfer, even though in WiFi mode.
    However, this morning, when I arrived at work (no WiFi, so in 4G) the icon indicated that I'd used 3.055 Gb - over 300 Mb more than when I'd shut-off my 4G/3G usage by going in to Airplane Mode outside of WiFi range. I was perplexed and concerned. I logged in, and sure enough, I was over-limit. I used it for a short while, then put it back into airplane mode (a bit concerned that something was amiss).
    A short time later, I turned the 4G back on, and found the data usage had increased to 3.154 Gb – nearly an additional 100 Mbytes (without my even using my Xoom).
    I put it back into Airplane Mode, and called Verizon to try to figure out what was happening.
    I was eventually connected to someone in tech support, and after explaining what had been happening (turning 4G back on found my usage had gone up to 3.188 Gb), without my even asking if it were even possible, he quickly told me that it was not possible for data usage to be “stolen” (and I neither had tethering enabled, nor the Bluetooth on).
    I continued to explain that I was not using my Xoom any more than normal (less, in fact); and he came to this answer for what might have been going on (drumroll, please…):
    Delayed Data Usage
    He went on to explain that “they see this happen all the time”, and that there can be these “delays” in tallying-up data usage that can extend back 90 days.
    I argued that over 400 Mb seemed a rather excessive amount to have been “backed-up”, and suddenly pushed through.
    He agreed, but said that there was nothing that could be done.
    I have insufficient understanding to argue the point any further, so it seems I will have to accept that I will be charged for an additional 1 Gb (okay, it’s only $10, but it the ****** principle of it!).
    So, what I’d like to ask of you all is, has anyone else ever heard of this “Delayed Data” or had something similar happen to you?
    I concerned that this large-scale unexplained data usage will continue, and I’ll end up getting hit for even more overages, and I’d like to be better armed to argue my case should that occur. Any explanations of this would be greatly appreciated.

    I actually talked to the Verizon rep about the automatic updating of apps (I beleive that I have it turned off for all my apps).
    Now, I do have the Eye-Fi app which loads photos from my camera to my Xoom, but the option to upload those photes to Eye-Fi's web site is set to only happen when connected to WiFi. I did take some photos ove rthe weekend, which loaded to my Xoom. but, even if the Eye-Fi apps had ignored the WiFi-only setting, and uploaded them over 4G, it would have amounted to less than 100 Mbytes of data.
    Obviously, so apps simnply do their own thing and send and recieve data without user input, but I've had these apps for months, and this sort of thing has never happened before.
    One possible app that I was concerned with that might be able to account for such large amounts of data if it were in some rogue behavior would be Netflix, as movies would obvioulsy be very large data files. But, I have no indication that it (or any other app) has simply downloaded such large amounts of data without my knowledge. If anyone knows of apps which might go rogue in such a way, I'd ertainly like to know about them.
    Since I didn't include EVRYTHING in my first post, I'll add a bit more info to consider. I've had my Xoom since Feb 28, so I've already been through a number of billing cycles. My typical data usage has been between 2.5 and 2.8 Gb/mo over all those cysles. And, that amount has often included some heavier usage near the end of the cycle when it seemed clear that I was in no danger of going over.
    This months cycle is the first since my Xoom was upgraded to LTE. But, that's the only change. I've been using my Xoom pretty much the same way I have been doing for months. That's why I'm so concerned that there is some more going on than just "delayed data". It's not just that I'm over limit, but that it happened very quickly (from ~2.5 to nearly 3.5 in two days) and is so much more than I'd normally use.
    Unless LTE has some unoique quirk to it that it ends up using a whole lot more data than 3G, and more (much more) of that data ends up showing up in this delayed fashion [something that it might be fair to warn user of], then I am concern that ther is something more going on here.

  • Is Yosemite compatible with Kodak production planning and workflow software like Prinergy Workflow?

    Is the new OS 10.10 system compatible with Kodak production planning and workflow software? like Prinergy Workflow (incl. the Workshop and Workspace user interfaces as well as the ColorFlow and Preps Client) and Prinergy Evo Client,

    Steven,
    Thank you for your quick reply and information there in. The video is very nice too. Great angles and composition.
    So I guess, I'm going to have swap my drive and re-install my OS when the machine arrives.
    I'm not going to be able to capture directly to my desktop (due to poratability reasons). So is there I way in Premire CS3 to uncompress the HDV from the camera and store it in my HDD in uncompressed format? I don't mind having to do this extra step each time if the post production experience is going to be better.
    I've heard a lot about Aspect HD from you and others here as well as other forums. I'm not very video savvy yet and don't understand a lot of the vocabulary used :). I've been to their website and don't get what their products are supposed to give me either (I guess their audience understands exactly what they are saying).
    What I do get is it decompresses the MPEG 2 to saves it to yout HDD for editing purposes. However, I would have thought the Premier Pro CS3 would have that capability as part of the product, no?
    I'd also like to use footage that is not HDV as well as photos/images (composits) but still retain the final cut to be HDV quality. Is this possible and if so, what does it do to the editing experience/performance?
    Will I be able to output the final cut back to my camera's Mini DV tape (without having to buy Aspect HD)?

  • How to differentiate b/w Plan and actual data

    Hi,
    How to differentiate b/w plan nad actual data.
    Is that value type or Version InfoObject??
    What should be the value for that and how it gets populated ??
    Regards,

    Hello Tapan,
    The plan and actual data is differentiated on the basis of value of infoobject 0VTYPE. Value 10 is for actual. Different plan versions can be differentiated by different values of infoobject 0VERSION.
    These values are populated when actual data is loaded or plan data is entered.
    Hope it helps.
    Regards,

  • Best practice for Plan and actual data

    Hello, what is the best practice for Plan and actual data?  should they both be in the same app or different?
    Thanks.

    Hi Zack,
    It will be easier for you to maintain the data in a single application. Every application needs to have the category dimension, mandatorily. So, you can use this dimension to maintain the actual and plan data.
    Hope this helps.

  • Unfortunately I have deleted my entire itunes library and back up from my computer, is there any way I can copy my ipod nano back onto my computer into the itunes library? and re-download all the tunes I have purchased  from I tunes.

    Hello bigali,
    Your options are kinda limited. I would use this first:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and ...
    Then check here for the non-purchased items:

  • Unable to create a production plan and schedule on SAP B1

    Hi,
    I've been trying to figure out how to use SAP B1 to give me a production plan and schedule for quite some time now.... I have no problem in accessing my pending orders. There seems to be no option in my production tab to enter resource information! Would be great if you could possibly tell me how to figure this out.

    Hi,
    Without capturing the actual time of production orders, it is not possible to perform scheduling. You may create planned production order by based on theoretical time.
    Only third party add-on fulfill your requirement.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Cant transmitt and Recieve data when USER INTERFACE Execution Mode selected

    Hi..
    I am working on a project in which I have to continuously send and recieve serial data..
    Again, in my application, I want to use AciveX control to open PDF (Theory related to the project).
    PDF can be opened only in USER INTERFACE Execution Mode.
    (I dont want to open PDF in Adobe Reader.. I want it inside my application)
    But when I use this execution mode, I am unable to transmitt and receive data through VISA.
    When I change the Execution mode to STANDERD, all works fine.
    Again, I could not change the mode Using Property node.. Shows error that I cant edit the VI in running mode.
    How should I get these two works done at a time..

    Hi Avatar,
    both links are essentially the same…
    I don't have Acrobat installed, so I cannot reproduce the problem or test the VI.
    Did you try a different tool? There are other PDF viewers available…
    Maybe the MS Webbrowser (available as DotNet) can show PDFs on the frontpanel of your VI…
    You cannot change the execution system at runtime as it would require recompiling the VI. Point.
    Best regards,
