Question about synchronization of contacts

Yesterday, I made quite a few changes to my contacts in my computer, but I noticed today, that the changes are no longer there, like contacts I deleted are back. I have sync'd up my iphone a couple of times and wonder if what is in iTunes overwrites what I have on my computer.

No, not using MobileMe. And I did get a message saying the sync was in progress. I had to do a restore today because I called Apple about a hardware issue. When I connected to iTunes, I treated the sync as if it were a new phone and not a restore from a backup (this is what Apple tech support told me to do). Therefore, since I made the changes to my contacts in my computer (yahoo address book) I thought that is what would have loaded on my iPhone. Hope this makes sense. It isn't a major problem but want to know how it syncs before I go back and make the changes again on my computer.

I have a question about how to contact HR with e-mail.

I read the rules about anything about HR is not allowed, but I also read to contact HR directly, so I won't ask anything further here. My question is, how? I searched for an e-mail, but all I have been able to find is a phone number I can't ring since I have no phone, just internet. Thank you.

Hello Dennis,
If you're a Best Buy or Geek Squad employee and do not have access to a telephone, then two alternative contact options exist for you: speak with your direct supervisor or use the My HR app within Employee Toolkit. If you are not a Best Buy employee, however, our HR support team will not be able to assist you -- these contact channels are for employee use only.
Thank you for your understanding, as well as for taking the time to post.

Question about synching gmail contacts with address book

Hi,
I recently discovered that it is possible to synch gmail contacts with apple addressbook. I also found out this feature only works if you have an iphone or an ipod touch. Unfortunatly, I don't have either. I then discovered there was a work around for this:

*My question is*..............
I'm planning on getting an iphone in half a year and if i mess with these settings will i have to change them back to be able to synch my iphone? or will my iphone be able to synch with the way the new settings are anyway?
Thanks

Does your question have anything remotely to do with iWeb 09? This is an iWeb 09 forum - did you not look where you were posting?
No - so it is not relevant to this forum. Please post in somewhere that is more relevant, such as the iPhone forum or the iPad forum.

Questions about Synchronization

Hello.
I have two questions I need to understand.
1) Is possible to synchronize two iPhones in the same computer using iTunes?
2) I'm using a computer to synchronize my iPhone and I need to change the computer, how can I do it? Is there an easy way to use a new computer to do that?
Thanks for your help.

1) Yes. You can sync as many Apple mobile devices to one computer as you want.
2) Transfer the iTunes Library from the old computer to the new one. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527

Question about synchronization the methods that work with Properties

Hello everyone
I have the following problem with the properties file and synchronization.
I read properties after the programm was started. And If the properties exist the programm load the properties (java.util.Properties) from the properties file.
Than I have make the possibility to change this properties in GUI and save it. That mean that the properties file will be used from two plases: the first at the beginning and the second in GUI.
I wrote the wrapper for properties, say ApplicationProperties.
I defined ApplicationProperties as the Singleton. At this file I defined
setters/getters for my variables. This class has also two methods
load properties or save properties. This two methods work with the propertiesFile the instance of java.io.File.
The first reads the properties with FileInputStream and the second save it to this file with the FileOutpuStream.
My question is, do I need to synchronize this two methods to make it thread save?
private File propertiesFile;
private void loadPropertiesFromFile() throws FileNotFoundException, IOException {
     FileInputStream input = null;
     try {
          input = new FileInputStream(this.propertiesFile);
          this.properties.load(input);
          updateSettingsFromProperties();
     } catch (FileNotFoundException fnfE) {
          throw new FileNotFoundException("Cannot find the properties file.");
     } catch (IOException ioE) {
          throw new IOException("Cannot read properties file.");
     } finally {
          if(input != null) {
               input.close();
private void savePropertiesToFile() throws IOException {
     FileOutputStream out = null;
     try {
          out = new FileOutputStream(this.propertiesFile);
          this.properties.save(out, PROPERTIES_DESCRIPTION);
     } catch (IOException io) {
          throw new IOException("Can't save properties.");
     } finally {
          if(out != null) {
               out.close();
}Thanks a lot for your advise!

Will you ever be reading or writing the same file from multiple threads at once?
Synchronisation can prevent this from happen, but does it ever happen at the moment?

Questions about Joined files + Contacts

Hi all,
I'm developping a complete email client with javamail API, and i've now 2 questions :
- Can we get the contacts of somebody with its username and password ?
- How can i do to get the joined files of an email ?
I don't be sure that i'm clear ??
Thank you very much

Hi all,
I'm developping a complete email client with javamail
API, and i've now 2 questions :
- Can we get the contacts of somebody with its
username and password ? JavaMail doesn't help you with this. There are very few standards
in this area so any solution is going to be specific to the place the
contacts are stored.
- How can i do to get the joined files of an email ?If by "joined files" you mean "attachments", see the JavaMail FAQ.

A question about synchronization....

OK...
I have an Object that adds and removes other objects to a vector...
public boolean add(MyObject mo)
If I write this method as:
public synchronized boolean add(MyObject mo)
and I have several threads running, what happens?
Is there more required to synchronize this?
(Just never done it before..)
~Dave

If you have a type-specific extension or delegation to Vector, you won't need to synchronize since the add() and get() methods of Vector already are synchronized. A call to the get() method in MyObjectVector won't corrupt an add() method's modification of 'elements'.
However, if you are doing some special processing in MyObjectVector that requires you to define member variables, and those variables are accessed in MyObjectVector's add() or get() methods, then you will need to synchronize.
So, this doesn't need to be synchronized.
import java.util.*;
class MyObject { // your class def }
class MyObjectVector
    private Vector elements = new Vector();
    public boolean add(MyObject obj) {
     return elements.add(obj);
    public MyObject get(int i) {
     return (MyObject)elements.get(i);
}This needs to be synchronized in order to protect the 'lastAccessed' variable.
import java.util.*;
class MyObject { // your class def here }
public class MyTimestampedObjectVector
    private Calendar lastAccessed; // includes lastModified
    private Vector elements = new Vector();
    public synchronized boolean add(MyObject obj) {
     lastAccessed = new GregorianCalendar();
     return elements.add(obj);
    public synchronized MyObject get(int index) {
     lastAccessed = new GregorianCalendar();
     return elements.get(index);
    public Calendar getLastAccessed() { return lastAccessed; }
}

Question about synchronize() statement and thread scheduling?

I have threads accessing a shared LinkedList in the main thread. I made use of the Collections.synchronizedList() to avoid concurrent modifications. one of the threads is a timer thread and it has a priority of 5 and the other threads are message reception threads and i made them of a lower priority just to allow the timer thread to be executed on time. According to the javaAPI, all iterations on the synchronized list should be done using synchronized(synchronizedListRef){} and this is what i do,
The problem is even after setting the priority of the reception threads lower than the timer thread, the reception threads are sometimes executed more than once and the timer thread is delayed. Lets assume the situation where the timer reaches the point where it has to acquire the lock (the synchronized statement) and it discovers that the lock is already taken and it cant access the list because the other thread (of a lower priority) is iterating over it. shouldnt the higherpriority thread be executed after that the reception thread (that is blocking the timer thread) finishes its execution and release the lock (even if there are other reception thread waiting)??
does the priority play a role when a thread is blocked?

The problem is even after setting the priority of the reception threads lower than the timer thread, the reception threads are sometimes executed more than once and the timer thread is delayed.There's no guarantee as to how priority will be interpreted. The scheduler implementation is free to do pretty much anything.
As for how to solve your problem, you might want to look at java.util.concurrent.*, e.g. PriorityQueue. If the classes there don't give you just what you need, you may be able to build on them, or at least get ideas from them. Bottom line is that if you want a specific scheduling algorithm, you'll have to implement it yourself, since Threads' priority semantics are only very loosely specified by the JLS.

Had to change my Apple ID because the original email address is no longer valid. How do I change the iCloud user name on iMac? I found instructions about signing out of iCloud and signing back end. It asks questions about contact, etc.

Had to change Apple ID due to email address no longer valid. Trying to change id for icloud...saw direction online about signing out of icloud and signing back in...when it ask questions about contacts, photos, etc. being deleted how do I answer those? That just sort of freaks me out.

For the ones that give you an option, select the option you want (keep on the Mac or Delete). For the ones that are simply warning you, click on Delete from Mac.
They will all come back when you sign back on, since all you did was change your existing Apple ID to a new email address. It's the same iCloud account, just with a different name.
It's the only way to get your updated ID signed onto iCloud.

The question about portlet customization and synchronization

I have a question about portlet customization and synchronization.
When I call
NameValuePersonalizationObject data = (NameValuePersonalizationObject) PortletRendererUtil.getEditData(portletRenderRequest);
portletRenderRequest.setPortletTitle(str);
portletRenderRequest.putString(aKey, aValue);
PortletRendererUtil.submitEditData(portletRenderRequest, data);
Should I make any synchronization myself (use "synchronized" blocks or something else) or this procedure is made thread-safe on the level of the Portal API?

HI Dimitry,
I dont think you have to synchronize the block. i guess the code is synchronized internally.

Harsha

Question about the order to creating Account, Contact, Contact Role

Hi, my friends,
I have some questions about the order of creating Account, Contact, Contact Role, etc in Web Service 1.0. I could create them in the following case:
1. Insert Contact object and get contactId (now new contact exists in CRMOD)
2. Insert Account object with Contact Role child associated with contactId
My questions are:
1. Do we have the following order? Insert new Account with new Contact child and Contact Role child (Contact is new and does not exist in CRMOD).
2. Looks like system need accountId, contactId, etc to make the objects relationship. Is there other field having the same function?
Thanks
Ray

Hi Ray,
In response to your questions:
1. Do we have the following order? Insert new Account with new Contact child and Contact Role child (Contact is new and does not exist in CRMOD).No. Both the Account and Contact must already exist. The Role value is an attribute on the Account Contact relationship, this relationship must exist in order to assign a role value to it. This is consistent with the behaviour of the UI, when you press the New button on the Contact child applet, you are taken to the Contact New page where you can create a Contact record. Once you save, the relationship is created but you cannot assign a role value unless you click the Edit Roles link next to the new Contact.
2. Looks like system need accountId, contactId, etc to make the objects relationship. Is there other field having the same function?Correct, the system needs to know which Account/Contact pair is being assigned a role value. To do this the Account and Contact values must be uniquely identified using the Id values for each.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Sean

I have a question about MP3 recorders but cannot even get contact us to work

My question is are the recorders in the Zen MP3 players mono and are they a .025 kHz?
However, I am disturbed that none of the links to "contact us" work is this a typical problem with
Creative? If not, how do I reach someone preferably by phone, but even by e-mail when I have a question about a product and even worse if I buy one about a problem thanks

As far as I know the "contact us" links are some sort of guided tour to some documents that might help, and otherwise an e-mail form. I don't know if you can phone them, but you can e-mail them and for general questions there is this forum.
The X-Fi 2 saves recordings as IMA ADPCM 6000Hz mono 64kb
ps.
I'm not sure about other Zens, although I believe they all are mono, I think my Vision recorded in regular wave (uncompressed PCM) but since I don't have that one anymore I can't check.

HT201303 hi just got my new apple ipod touch i need to update my security information other wise it wont let me download apps it says to enter three questions about myself and i get to the third question and it wont let me enter the third question

hi just got my new apple ipod touch and to download apps it wants to add questions about myself for more sercurity information. i get up to question 3 and it wont let me select a question but it will let me write an answer so i just pressed done and then it says i cant carry on because ive mised out information when it wont let me do a question!

Welcome to the Apple community.
You might try to see if you can change your security questions. Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account > Password and Security.
I'm able to do this, others say they need to input answers to their current security questions in order to make changes, I'm inclined to think its worth a try, you don't have anything to lose.
If that doesn't help you might try contacting Apple through Express Lane (select your country, navigate to iCloud help and enter the serial number of one of your devices)

Questions about Rooting...

Hi everyone, I’ve some questions about rooting my Xperia Arc S. Hopefully I’ll get helpful answers from you.
If I root my phone, shall I get regular software official updates from Sony?
Currently Sony is rolling out the ICS update. After rooting the phone am I able to upgrade my phone to ICS?
While rooting the phone if any damage is done, can that be recoverable by installing a fresh OS or something?
Does the rooting process delete all the existing contacts, messages, apps etc?
Finally can anyone please provide a full proof guide/tutorial for rooting the Xperia Arc S?
Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Do you have an app named Super USer ?
Were you on 4.0.4 and then rooted your mobile using this method ?
If yes then your mobile is not rooted for sure
