Question about backing up the info already on your phone...

I just had to reinstall osx on my mac pro.
I have all of my contacts on my phone and nothing in my address book on my comp. How do I back them up to address book without loosing them during sync?
same with calendar too.

iTunes uses the iSync framework to sync with your phone. Whenever there are conflicts it will throw up an messages asking you to choose the correct entry (for Address Book or iCal) from your iPhone or your computer.
in iTunes when your iPhone is connected there is an option "Replace all information on this iPhone" which, if checked, will overwrite everything on your iPhone with whatever is in your computer. As long as this is not checked, I think iTunes should re-populate all of your entries.

  • Please delete my question about backing up. I already found my answer.

    Hi,
    Please delete my question about backing up. I already found my answer. Just wanted to make sure that it was okay to backup the iPod_Control folder. I've read that other people have done this and re-imported back to iTunes. Here's the question I submitted. When I get my iPod back in order I am gonna backup the iPod_Control folder .

    No urgent reason to delete it. Just reply to yourself as above, if you care to, and then mark your own answer as correct. You won't get any points, but it will be clear you are closing out the topic.

  • Question about backing up the purchases

    Hi Folks,
    I used the "File > Library > Back Up To Disc" option to back up my purchases. I just purchased another album. How can I back up that album to data disc through the same function without having to back up all purchases again?
    Thank you.

    I think if you check the box "Back up only iTunes Store Purchases" and "Only back up items added or changed since last back up" as I've said above, then it will only back up purchases added or changed since the last back up.

    Hi kec234, welcome to the forum,
    the best place would probably be in the Lenovo 3000 & Essential notebooks board; it's the correct board for your system and who knows after searching through it you may find an existing thread on the same subject??

  • Few Questions About Backing Up Files

    Okay, I'm pretty new to this, and have checked the support pages, but I do have some questions about backing up my files.
    I'm running out of room on my computer's hard drive, and am wondering if burning the library to CDs will allow me to quickly restore my library on my computer when I sync my iPod.
    I know that when an iPod syncs with a comp, it will lose any songs that aren't on the library list. (If I deleted some songs to free up room, I'd lose those songs on my iPod when I synced it up.) Is there a way to prevent that from happening? Some way to save a headache continuously restoring my iPod's library every time I want to add a new song or recharge it?
    I'm on Windows XP, if that matters.

    Best and easiest solution is to buy an external hard drive. Then simply drag and drop your iTunes folder from your internal onto the external and copy the entire library.

  • Question about setup_MITE in the PCI-MIO-16E-1

    I have a quick question about setup_MITE in the PCI-MIO-16E-1. In one of the manuals, it states that if you're using Dell Optiplex GX series for our hardware configuration, is it true we need to re-write the MITE functions to correlate with the hardware? Please if you can clarify what this means, I would really appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

  • Ical will not store info, I go to another app, and come back and the info is gone

    Ical takes in an event, but after you leave Ical and come back, all the info is gone.  Now I notice that there is no info at all in Ical, and it won't load from my info from my Ipad as well.

    The Macbook Air is a low end Macintosh for graphics apps and you are asking it to perform a heavy pro workflow using a pro application. The integrated GPU of MBAs is a serious limiter to heavy graphics. Personally I would expect flaky performance with certain operations. In general I recommend that Aperture users choose boxes with independent GPUs and capable of taking 16 GB RAM if necessary.
    It will be important to carefully optimize workflow. How much RAM is in the MBA? The most Apple specs is 8 GB but you can check OWC to see if you can go to 16 GB. My Aperture/Photoshop workflow paged out at 8 GB RAM before I upgraded to 16 GB RAM.
    You should evaluate whether or not you have adequate RAM:
    Look at the Page Outs number under System Memory on the Activity Monitor app before starting a typical Aperture/Photoshop work session and write the number down. Recheck the Page Outs count after working for a few hours and write the number down again. If the page outs change (manual calculation of ending page outs number minus starting page outs number) is not zero your workflow is RAM-starved.
    Ignore the pie charts and other info in Activity Monitor because they can be misleading regarding RAM usage. For RAM analysis, manually count page outs before and after a work session.

    Can anybody tell me which one is wrong?
    Thanks in advance,
    Liu Jia

    HI
    1.The answer could be A,B,D.you can not apply filters on hierarchies
    2.Whenever there is a change in Attribute data(like Location,Num etc...)that has to be reflected in all aggregates of the cube.Thsi can be done by running "ATTRIBUTE CHANGE RUN".

  • Some question about 9iAs R1.2.2 & R2, need your help:

    Some question about 9iAs R1.2.2 & R2, need your help:
    Since 2000, we has used 9iAS Core (R1.2.2) to publish our website. The platform is Suns Solaris (SPARC). The database is Oracle 8i. But there are so many questions:
    1.     The Web Cache cant be installed well
    2.     The web pages use JSP to query database with SQL show errors when we refresh the page a few times. The error will disappear after restarting the 9iAS or refreshing the page again. On the other hand, the same pages dont show error on resin. The error is java.sql.SQLException : Closed Connection: next. I supposed that the connection of database has some hidden troubles, but I can find it, could you give me some advice.
    Now I have installed 9iAS R2, But when I visited the manage page, I found that a password is needed to visit the web cache manage page. I dont think I have set the password, and then I cant control the web cache. I want to know is a default password occurred? If not, what is the password.

    The default password for Web Cache is: administrator

  • HT4865 I need to install my back up iCloud info onto a new phone and then erase my old handset off my account. How can I do this?

    I need to install my back up iCloud info onto a new phone with the same sim in and then erase old phone from my account. How can I do this?

    When you setup the new phone restore it from the iCloud backup from your old phone.
    Then, on your old phone, use Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.

    What a crappy design. This is where Android is so much better. It seems to me like you have no control over your iPhone. It does whatever Apple has designed it to do without asking you first. On Android you can actually go in see all folders, document files, photo files etc and you have so much more control of everything. Apple s..cks!

  • HT201270 helo, my iiphone is unlock and i upgrade to 5.1 version when the upgrade finish i get this question-An update to the carrier settings for your iPhone is available. Would you like to download it now? is there a resone not to upgrade, will he becom

    helo, my iiphone is unlock and i upgrade to 5.1 version when the upgrade finish i get this question-An update to the carrier settings for your iPhone is available. Would you like to download it now? is there a resone not to upgrade, will he become lock?

    If your phone is factory unlocked, or officially unlocked by your carrier, updating will NOT re-lock the phone.  If it was unlocke by unauthorized methods, any update or restore will re-lock it.

  • HT1937 do apple sell the codes to unlock your phone? if so how much?  ive been going round in circles on here now t, thanks

    do apple sell the codes to unlock your phone? if so how much?  ive been going round in circles on here now t, thanks

    when you buy a sim locked phone you don't pay the full price of the phone
    the carrrier pay most of the price because you haveing your phone locked to their network for a period of time make it possible for them to make up for the loss of them paying most of the price of the phone
    if the phone manufactor went back on their sim lock and sold unlocks on the side they would be in violation of that agreement between the phone manufactor and the carrier and would be sued for alot! of money
