Question about the restore feature

My phone went blank two weeks ago-- i did a soft reboot and now the phone no longer will connect with my car to make phone calls.
If i hit restore -- how far back does this go-- will i loose apps that i have installed later?? will it help my phone reconnect with my car??
the car is a BMW 3 series and says it is ready to connect. . . it definitely something with the phone
it is an iphone 3, software 4.0.2

Restoring an iPhone with iTunes completely erases the iPhone first followed by the firmware being re-installed. After the firmware is re-installed, there are two options. From your iPhone's backup which is the default selection, or as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup which must be manually selected. After either option, this must be followed by a sync with iTunes to transfer your selected content under the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. When restoring from your iPhone's backup, what is currently selected under the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes will be pre-selected since this is included with your iPhone's backup. Your iPhone's backup is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process and you are prompted to update your iPhone's backup as the first step after selecting Restore.

3rd party apps are not included with your iPhone's backup. All 3rd party apps on your iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer and will be if you have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. If this is not currently selected and most or all apps on your iPhone are not in your iTunes library on your computer, before selecting Sync Apps with your iPhone connected, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone. This should include all paid and free apps. After this select Sync Apps making sure all apps on your iPhone are selected below before syncing.
3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app is included with your iPhone's backup.
Not sure if this will help with your iPhone connecting with your car.

A question about the Calendar feature on a Samsung SCH-u410?

I have an older Samsung SCH-u410, and I have a question about using the Calendar feature. I will set an event in the calendar and set a reminder. Then later I will turn the reminder off, but the alarm will still go off. Shouldn't setting the reminder box to off turn the alarm off. Am I forgetting to do something or is there a problem with my phone? Any info will be gratefully appreciated!!!! I can be e-mailed directly at >> personal information deleted <<
Thanks,
Randy

Thank you for your post Junebug. On most phones, turning the reminder off will stop the alarm from sounding. As this is a much older device, I don't have a phone to test. Have you tried removing the calendar event completely? Did you recently purchase this phone or have you had this for awhile?

Two questions about the events feature

Sometimes I think it is OK to use different rolls for the same happening, e.g. when I have received photos from my wedding from a lot of people that did not syncronise their cameras to the second...
If I have understood correctly, my present rolls (iPhoto '06) will all be rearranged and called "events" when I install iPhoto '08. So then I'll have to sort all those photos from my wedding manually. Is this right?
Second question: I already have an "event" with my own photos from my brother's wedding. If another guest at the wedding sends me his photos and I import them into iPhoto, what will happen? Will those newly imported photos be automatically placed inside the already existing event, so that I will need to use an hour to find those new photos one by one if I want to place them in another event, or if I want to adjust them etc?

Jadar:
It depends on how you have your Events preferences setup.
If you leave the checkbox unchecked then the import will go into a single Event. Then you can drag that event into the already created wedding event.
If the checkbox is checked then the imorted photos will go into new events based on the date of the photo and the criteria setup for Events date. In either case you'll have to drag the new event(s) into the current wedding event.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Question about the "Suggestions" feature in the search box

How can you tell if the “Suggestions” in the search box are generic or part of my own browsing history? Can the suggestion history be cleared?

Hey Andy..thanks for the response. The reason I asked is when I start typing in the search box a drop down list of suggestions appears and some of the suggestions I'm not sure where they are coming from. Also, I thought maybe it was based on my own browsing. Example I was typing in a name and it started suggesting specific people. Curious if was because I had gone to their website in the past or it was based juts on my location and the algorithms of the search engine to make a suggestion. I have even cleared my browsing history but the same suggestions come up.

My question is about the 'Restore Backup' option on iTunes (Not 'Restore iPhone'). So, if I click on Back Up Now, then 'Restore Backup', would that go through the process of erasing everything on my phone as new then restore whatever iTunes has backed up?

My question is about the 'Restore Backup' option on iTunes (Not 'Restore iPhone'). So, if I click on Back Up Now, then 'Restore Backup', would that go through the process of erasing everything on my phone as new then restore whatever iTunes has backed up?
I do not want this to happen, as with previous experience iTunes doesn't restore a mirror of what the iPhone was when it was backed up as is the case with iCloud backups.
What I am trying to do is, as I've found a method on Youtube, there is an application where I can delete all the multimedia saved in my 'iMessages' so clear up some space. As doing that manually through the phone would take a lifetime. The method is to backup on iTunes, then using the backup created, importing that into the application then deleting the messages through that then restoring the phone using that amended backup.
So back to my question, would restoring through 'Restore Backup' just restore the backup internally or would it flush the entire phone and then restore the backup? And if it does so, what would be lost in the restore?
Thank you all,
Fahmid

iCloud should overwrite your phone with the data stored in your account, preserving your newer data. However, to be sure I would go to Settings>iCloud and turn data syncing to Off before restoring the backup. Then, after restoring the backup, turn the data syncing back to on, and when prompted about Merging with iCloud, choose Don't Merge. This will ensure that the data in your iCloud account overwrites the data on your phone (which is your goal).
Also, you don't sync text messages with iCloud so you will end up losing your more recent messages when they are overwritten by the backup.

HT5463 Questions about the "Do Not Disturb" feature not addressed in documentation

Hello,
I have some questions about the "Do Not Disturb" feature which are not quite addressed by the documentation.
When DND is enabled, will badge app icons still be displayed?
When DND is turned off, either manually or automatically, will Notification Center banners be available for alerts which occurred while DND was on, or are they lost forever?
I guess the main questions is, is DND like an answering machine, which stores up your notifications until you are ready to deal with them? Or is it a return of the "turn off all notifications" feature that existed in iOS 4, albeit in a more evolved form?
Thanks,
- Steve

If you have a schedule set, but activate it manually, it will de-activate at the scheduled time anyway. It behaves perfectly on my 4S, my wife's 4, and both of our iPads.
If you have an iPhone 5, it could be tied to the known issue with automatic time set going Wonky on LTE networks. If that's the case, try disabling the automatic time set and see if it behaves itself.

Two questions about the new iWeb

Hi
I've got two questions about the new iWeb.
1. Is it possible to blog online now? Meaning adding a new blog entry without having to be on your own Mac? This is a feature I've been waiting for since iWeb first was released.
2. Is it possible to choose the format of images? Earlier editions had the option to "optimize" images but that meant it changed it into .png meaning the site got a lot heavier than if .jpg was used. And since I have relatives who still only have an isdn connection I need to be able to have the website as light as possible.
thanks

Ah well... thanks for the quick answer

Question about the sensor... just got my 4s yesterday after screwing up my 3 with the laterd version update. EVery call I have been on has either changed to speaker, called another number or ended the call or activated facetime, which I have turned off.

Question about the sensor... just got my 4s yesterday after screwing up my 3 with the laterd version update. EVery call I have been on has either changed to speaker, called another number or ended the call or activated facetime, which I have turned off. never had this trouble with my 3...I don't even want to talk to anyone on this phone! Is the sensor bad? That is what the AT&t rep suggested.

Restore as new... if the problem still continues then there is a hardware issue.
If it stops after a restore as new, then the issue is with the backup the device is currently setup with.

Short question about the nano controls

Hi. I'm probably going to buy a 4Gb nano today, but first I'd like to ask a short question about the << >> buttons on the click wheel.
I read in a forum that the << & >> buttons are actually 'skip' buttons (only used to play the previous or next song respectively), and that it's impossible to rewind or fast-forward within the track you're listening to. This is extremely important for me as I have several 2-3 hours mp3, and I need to be able to access different parts of the file quickly (eg. not having to actually wait 1 hour to listen to my favorite part). I found this to be an important feature, and I can't believe Apple hasn't thought about it.
Anyway, I've never used an iPod, that's why this question may sound plain stupid.
Thanks for you replies!

The iPod fast charges to about 80% and then trickle charges the rest of the way to prevent damaging the battery/iPod. A full charge takes more than an hour or two though the battery indicator will show full. The best way to tell if a full charge has occurred is to unmount the iPod from the computer but keep it connected. The screen will show an animation of a battery. When the animation stops the battery is fully charged.
Also, as your battery discharges the indicator will eventually show red indicating the battery is about to run out...in an hour or two. After you've owned your iPod for a couple months you'll figure out how much time you have left when the indicator turns red - it depends on a number of factors including play volume, equalizer use, etc. In real world use I'm getting over 11 hours.
The headphones are...average. If they didn't hurt my ears I'd find them acceptable for my pop music but not so acceptable for acoustic and symphonic nor music with booming bass - because they don't boom the bass.
I encode the majority of my music at 256 AAC and I've noticed no distortion caused by the EQ. This, plus your complaint about the earphones, leads me to think perhaps you got a bum set of phones. Borrow a pair from someone else and see what happens.

Question about the BlackBerry 8520 Unlocked

Hi all,
I've a question about the BlackBerry 8520.
I saw it's being sold as unlocked and I'm wondering if once I buy it I need to have a particular carrier plan to use it or if I can simply use my pay as you go At&t plan.
So far I didn't buy any smartphone, iPhone, Android and so on because I don't want to be forced to add a monthly plan, that by the way usually is not cheap here in LA (around $70-$90 per month). But I'd like to have a BlackBerry as I guess I could use, even without the usual carrier plans, most of its features (but please correct me if I'm wrong).
So, basically the question is: would it make sense to buy the 8520 even with my basic "pay as you go" plan?
Thanks for any info.

Haha... so, probably whatever I write in this forum it doesn't matter. That's nice, it could be the perfect place where I can just rant or write anything that comes to my mind. Cool, I'll keep you guys updated. Stay tuned, some good rant coming soon!

Question about the custom panel language

I have a question about the custom panel language...
The document you provide seems to lack details on some features. Namely the icon and picture widgets. I see from looking at the examples and other vendor's web pages that these features exist, but I don't find any detailed descriptions of them in the documentation. Is there a more complete document describing these and other features...
http://www.adobe.com/products/xmp/custompanel.html
Alternatively, can someone fill me in on the syntax and options for at least the icon and picture widget. For instance, how do you load external icons or pictures...
Tom

Gunar,
It could be interesting to have something like
icon(url: 'http://www.adobe.com/Images/logo.gif', width: 20, height: 20);
or better
picture(url: 'http://www.adobe.com/Images/logo.gif', width: 20, height: 20);
for the pictures and
include(url: 'http://www.adobe.com/xml/custompanel/camera1.txt');
for include the cusmtom panel's dynamic portions

I'm looking to buy a new Macbook Pro, and have questions about the Applecare extended warranty?

I'm looking to buy a new Macbook Pro, and have questions about the Applecare extended warranty? I want to know if the 3 year extended warranty covers what damage. Like water damage, accidental damage, lost or stolen macbook, manufactory defects, or any other kind of damage, maybe be even cosmetic damage. Can anyone help me?

If you are talking about features of the MBP itself, as long as you are not looking at the Retina models, then the memory you can upgrade yourself for a lot less than Apple charges, and that does not affect the warranty as Apple considers memory a user permitted upgrade. Great sources are Crucial and OWC, both are Mac specialists and have on-line videos on how to do the install.
If the 15" is what you are looking at, a good upgrade is the 7200 rpm hard drive, gives a little better performance over the standard 5400 rpm drive.
The Hi Res screen is good if you do a lot of graphics work.
Comparing the 13" amd 15" you will notice the 15" has a second, discrete graphic processor...helps when you get into heavy duty videos, games, graphics...but keep in mind that kicking in the second processor uses a lot of power and will run the battery down faster.
If you are looking at the Retina models, then keep in mind there are no post-purchase upgrade options...you have to buy with everything you want at the start.
Just some thoughts.

I have a couple of questions about the Satellite P300-18Z.
What "video out" does this laptop have? (DVI, s-video or d-sub)
Can I link the laptop up to a LCD-TV and watch movies on a resolution of 1080p? (full-HD)
What is the warranty on this laptop?

Hello
According the notebook specification Satellite P300-18Z has follow interfaces:
DVI - No DVI port available
HDMI - HDMI-out (HDMI out port available)

Warranty is country specific and clarifies this with your local dealer but I know that all Toshiba products have 1 year standard warranty and also 1 year international warranty. you can of course expand it.

A question about the impact of SQL*PLUS SERVEROUTPUT option on v$sql

Hello everybody,
SQL> SELECT * FROM v$version;
BANNER
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
CORE    11.2.0.1.0 Production
TNS for Linux: Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
SQL>
OS : Fedora Core 17 (X86_64) Kernel 3.6.6-1.fc17.x86_64I would like to ask a question about the SQL*Plus SET SERVEROUTPUT ON/OFF option and its impact on queries on views such as v$sql and v$session. Here is the problem
Actually I define three variables in SQL*Plus in order to store sid, serial# and prev_sql_id columns from v$session in order to be able to use them later, several times in different other queries, while I'm still working in the current session.
So, here is how I proceed
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON; -- I often activate this option as the first line of almost all of my SQL-PL/SQL script files
SET SQLBLANKLINES ON;
VARIABLE mysid NUMBER
VARIABLE myserial# NUMBER;
VARIABLE saved_sql_id VARCHAR2(13);
-- So first I store sid and serial# for the current session
BEGIN
    SELECT sid, serial# INTO :mysid, :myserial#
    FROM v$session
    WHERE audsid = SYS_CONTEXT('UserEnv', 'SessionId');
END;
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
-- Just check to see the result
SQL> SELECT :mysid, :myserial# FROM DUAL;
    :MYSID :MYSERIAL#
       129   1067
SQL> Now, let's say that I want to run the following query as the last SQL statement run within my current session
SELECT * FROM employees WHERE salary >= 2800 AND ROWNUM <= 10;According to Oracle® Database Reference 11g Release 2 (11.2) description for v$session
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e25513/dynviews_3016.htm#REFRN30223]
the column prev_sql_id includes the sql_id of the last sql statement executed for the given sid and serial# which in the case of my example, it will be the above mentioned SELECT query on the employees table. As a result, right after the SELECT statement on the employees table I run the following
BEGIN
    SELECT prev_sql_id INTO :saved_sql_id
    FROM v$session
    WHERE sid = :mysid AND serial# = :myserial#;
END;
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> SELECT :saved_sql_id FROM DUAL;
:SAVED_SQL_ID
9babjv8yq8ru3
SQL> Having the value of sql_id, I'm supposed to find all information about cursor(s) for my SELECT statement and also its sql_text value in v$sql. Yet here is what I get when I query v$sql upon the stored sql_id
SELECT child_number, sql_id, sql_text
FROM v$sql
WHERE sql_id = :saved_sql_id;
CHILD_NUMBER   SQL_ID          SQL_TEXT
0              9babjv8yq8ru3    BEGIN DBMS_OUTPUT.GET_LINES(:LINES, :NUMLINES); END;Therefore instead of
SELECT * FROM employees WHERE salary >= 2800 AND ROWNUM <= 10;for the value of sql_text I get the following value
BEGIN DBMS_OUTPUT.GET_LINES(:LINES, :NUMLINES);Which is not of course what I was expecting to find in v$sql for the given sql_id.
After a bit googling I found the following thread on the OTN forum where it had been suggested (well I think maybe not exactly for the same problem) to turn off SERVEROUTPUT.
Problem with dbms_xplan.display_cursor
This was precisely what I did
SET SERVEROUTPUT OFFafter that I repeated the whole procedure and this time everything worked pretty well as expected. I checked SQL*Plus documentation for SERVEROUTPUT
and also v$session page, yet I didn't find anything indicating that SERVEROUTPUT should be switched off whenever views such as v$sql, v$session
are queired. I don't really understand the link in terms of impact that one can have on the other or better to say rather, why there is an impact
Could anyone kindly make some clarification?
thanks in advance,
Regards,
Dariyoosh

Hi Dariyoosh,
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON has the effect of executing dbms_output.get_lines after each and every statement. Not only related to system view.
Here below what Tom Kyte is explaining in this page:
Now, sqlplus sees this functionality and says "hey, would not it be nice for me to dump this buffer to screen for the user?". So, they added the SQLPlus command "set serveroutput on" which does two things
1) it tells SQLPLUS you would like it <b>to execute dbms_output.get_lines after each and every statement</b>. You would like it to do this network rounding after each call. You would like this extra overhead to take place (think of an install script with hundreds/thousands of statements to be executed -- perhaps, just perhaps you don't want this extra call after every call)
2) SQLPLUS automatically calls the dbms_output API "enable" to turn on the buffering that happens in the package.Regards.
