Programmatic sync of iphone through COM - how to know when it's completed?

I'm trying to programmatically control iTunes from my C# application using the COM API. I can start itunes fine, and I can also find the correct iphone and start the synchronization.
The problem is, I'd like to be informed when the synchronization is completed so that I can move on in my application. Right now, I try to look for disk space changes on the iphone and guess when sync is done, but this is very fragile.
Does anyone know of a solution to this? (Or, if Apple is reading these forums - +please please+ add this functionality to the API for the next version)
Another question while I'm at it: Is it possible to control itunes without having it open the main window? I'd like to start it from my app, keep it hidden while I sync, and then close it when it's done.

Hmmmm. I usually defer to Teridon when it comes to matters relating to the COM interface. I'm not sure he works much on intergrating the COM application with other programs, though.
It might be worth checking in at his Google user group to see if he can offer you any advice:

Do you need to sync the iPhone through iTunes if you sync over the air?

Do you need to sync the iPhone through iTunes if you sync over the air?
My MacBook Pro and iPhone 3G with OS 4 synchronize with each other over the air through my Snow Leopard Server. Though when I connect it to iTunes I see that it allows me to checked "Synchronize with this computer" type options and I'm confused as to why that would be if they're synchronizing over the air.
Can someone help clarify when those should be checked? Because I do want everything that's on my computer synchronized with my iPhone and vice versa, but if I add the accounts on my phone manually that seems to work too.

In regards to syncing contacts and calendar events, if you are syncing this data over the air on your iPhone and the contacts and calendar events synced over the air on your iPhone match the Address Book and iCal data on your Mac, there is no reason to sync this data direct with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac via the iTunes sync process.

How to know when I'm doing a createInsert?

how to know when I'm doing a createInsert, this to hide a button when you run this action, I am using a task flow.
my version of jdeveloper is 12c

hi,
So you are using the createInsert as a method call in task flow. That is your form/table will be come new rows and you want to disable some button.
Your task flow might be as below
      CreateInsert---->Page.
To do so
1.) Take properties of your method call and bind the Method property to a method in a bean (bean registered in the task flow with scope view or any higher scope)
2) Call the create insert operation programmatically in that method.
3) And in that method after the createinsert ,set a boolean variable in pageFlowScope.
4)Put this variable in the disable property or visible propery of the button you wabt to hide/diable.
eg:
    public void doCreateInserOperation(){
        try {
           // Programatically invoke CreateInsert
            DCBindingContainer bindings = (DCBindingContainer)getBindingContainer();
            bindings.getOperationBinding("CreateInsert").execute();
        //Set a variable in page Flow Scope
        AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getPageFlowScope().put("disableButton", true)
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
    public BindingContainer getBindingContainer() {
        FacesContext facesContext = getFacesContext();
        Application app = facesContext.getApplication();
        ExpressionFactory elFactory = app.getExpressionFactory();
        ELContext elContext = facesContext.getELContext();
        ValueExpression valueExp = elFactory.createValueExpression(elContext, "#{bindings}", Object.class);
        return (BindingContainer)valueExp.getValue(elContext);
you can access this variable in EL expression as #{pageFlowScope.disableButton}. So when your page render it will be in CreateInsert mode and the button will be disabled/hidden.
I hope this will help you.
With regards,
Gijith.

verify & repair your startup drive
To verify & repair you file system on the startup drive, you will need to run disk utility from you installation DVD.
This article will tell you how to get to disk utility. Once in a disk utility, you can go and attempt to recover the disk.

How to run disk utility from your startup DVD.
Insert your startup DVD into your reader. Power down your machine. Hold down to the c key. Power on your machine. This will bootup your startup DVD.
This will bring you to a panel asking you for your language. Pick your language.

How to know when the PRICE AFTER DISCOUNT changed and get the value

Hi,
Everything I do to see if a value changed in the grid works except for PRICE AFTER DISCOUNT
which seems to be inaccessible.
Any idea how to know when exactly this value changed and do actions accordinly ?
Also I always get 0.00 if I try to get the value of it
This works to get in the condition of a vlaue changing but I always get 0.00 as the value of the column
if (pVal.ItemUID == "38" && pVal.ColUID == COL_DISCOUNT.ToString() && pVal.EventType == BoEventTypes.et_VALIDATE && pVal.ItemChanged == true && pVal.ActionSuccess == true)
    try
        SAPbouiCOM.Matrix Matrix = (SAPbouiCOM.Matrix)SBO_Application.Forms.ActiveForm.Items.Item("38").Specific;
        SAPbouiCOM.EditText Editor = (SAPbouiCOM.EditText)Matrix.Columns.Item(COL_DISCOUNT).Cells.Item(pVal.Row).Specific;
        SBO_Application.MessageBox("Discount changed for : " + Editor.Value + "...", 1, "Ok", "", "");
    catch (Exception ex)
        SBO_Application.MessageBox(ex.Message, 1, "Ok", "", "");
And this do not even get into the condition even tought I SEE the column PRICE AFTER DISCOUNT:
if (pVal.ItemUID == "38" && pVal.ColUID == COL_PRICEAFTERDISCOUNT.ToString() && pVal.EventType == BoEventTypes.et_VALIDATE && pVal.ItemChanged == true && pVal.ActionSuccess == true)
    try
        SAPbouiCOM.Matrix Matrix = (SAPbouiCOM.Matrix)SBO_Application.Forms.ActiveForm.Items.Item("38").Specific;
        SAPbouiCOM.EditText Editor = (SAPbouiCOM.EditText)Matrix.Columns.Item(COL_PRICEAFTERDISCOUNT).Cells.Item(pVal.Row).Specific;
        SBO_Application.MessageBox("Price after discount changed for : " + Editor.Value + "...", 1, "Ok", "", "");
     catch (Exception ex)
         SBO_Application.MessageBox(ex.Message, 1, "Ok", "", "");

just idea, maybe it will works
Create one udf in row level and set there FS based on changes on price after discount and fill value what is in price after discount. Then the validation make on this field instead of standard SAP field.

How to know when invoke bytecode implements?

I've got a classfile - it has few invokeinterface bytecodes inside - their count is defined dynamically - when class is running.
And I've got a program, which runs this class.
The aim of this program - to gather statistics of invokeinterface calling frequency.
How to know when invokeinterface bytecode implements?
(In that moment I plan to update several digits)
Have You got an advise for me?
Thanks.

You must use the debugging interface, or get a code profiler. Do a search on all forums for profiler, you'll get tons of information.

How to know when the JComboBox popup is about to show or hide?

Hi all,
In JDK 1.4, a new addPopupMenuListener() was added to the JComboBox component. I found out I have to use JDK 1.3, but I already wrote a lot of code around this particular capability. I am trying to figure out how to duplicate it in JDK 1.3. I need to know BEFORE and AFTER the popup is displayed. OR, is there a way with JDK 1.3 that as soon as they click the combo box, it fires an event. The thing is, as soon as they click it, I want to change the background color. When they are done selecting, I can use an ActionListener or ItemListener to find out what was selected and change the color again. My killer is trying to figure out how to know when they have selected the box. I tried adding MouseListener, PropertyChangeListener, AncestorListener. None are doing a thing when the JComboBox is first selected.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Getting Rid Of Duplicate Pics on iMac synced with iPhone 3GS. HOW?!

Ok heres the thing. And I searched the forums before coming here to ask for help. I have a white iPhone 3GS 16gb and every time I sync my iPhone with iPhoto it just keeps duplicates. I literally have 1400 pictures and maybe 300 are original, the rest, copies, copies, and more copies.
PLEASE help me figure out how to delete duplicate pictures in iPhoto 09'. I am currently using the base model 3.06 ghz, 21.5 inch screen version Apple iMac, running "Snow Leopard", 10.6.4 if that helps. I just want to get rid of of all these duplicates without having to go through the whole thing one by one! There has to be away to, like in iTunes, you can hit the "Duplicates" button and it brings them up and you can erase them one time not do it for each one!!
Anyone know or understand what I am trying to do?
Thank you in advance for sharing your experiences.

Something is not working correctly - if you have checked ignore duplicated you should not be importing them
Duplicate Annihilator is a good solution for taking care of Duplicates within iPhoto - http://www.brattoo.com/propaganda/
Maybe renewing your iPhoto preference file would help for the future - A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

ITunes opens with error message "Eyephedrine 2.60: unable to locate tm9J plugin" and won't sync my iphone (doesn't even show up when plugged in)

...also, iTunes won't quit--I have to force quit to get out of it. but the not syncing my iPhone 3G is a much bigger problem! Thanks for any
help!

Try the steps in this Apple article -> iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
Does the error still appear after after removing the plug-ins from the path mentioned below?
/Users/username/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/
/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/
Is the iPhone recognized correctly after stopping the Eyephedrine plug-in error? And is iTunes now able to connect to the online store?

Syncing Error: iphone doesn't have enough space when there's plenty

When I sync my iPhone, I sync contacts, calendars, music, podcasts. I have the 8 gig.
The space meter bar shows blue, purple etc... and I'm only using 6 gigs.....
Here is the problem...
When I try to sync my iPhone back to my mac, it turns the space bar completely yellow and says it doesn't have enough space on my iPhone to sync. The error msg. only sees the amt. of space left (approx 2 gigs) after a full sync.
A full restore takes care of it, but I am having to restore every time I sync.
Itunes doesn't seem to overwrite the old info....it just tries to put the original 6 gigs on to my already full iPhone.
I have version 1.1.1 iPhone and version 7.4.2 (4) itunes
Is this an auto sync prob?
Any help?

Likely you have a corrupted file, they tend to wreak havoc on the phone. Try this...
Sync 1 section at a time, when you hit the culprit you will know which sync it is under.
Then you will need to work with that sync to try to locate the corrupt file, eliminate parts to see which part it is in. Weed it out, it will take time but you will eventually find the culprit.
Good luck!
