Quitting iTunes changes my desktop (can someone else try?)
If I change my desktop picture while iTunes is running then when I quit iTunes my desktop reverts to the picture it had before I started iTunes. Pretty weird. Can someone else try this?
I noticed this the for the first time after updating to 10.4.3 last night. I can't say for sure if I'd ever done this exact sequence before the update.
Same problem - except my whole desktop goes back to defauylt - my files and iTunes and applications are under a username1, username 2, username3, etc. each time I logoff and log back on. I tried the username_new and idisk restore and notheing helps. It's like Groundhog Day (the Bill Murray movie) -- I configure my desktop, restore my Dock with my apps, reimport my iTunes library and then logoff and back on and it all 'disappears' and goes back to like it was when I first got it out of the box. I upgraded to 10.4.4.

Can someone else try to compile this and see why the program is returning..
Can someone else try to compile this and see why the program is returning "false" when I try to delete the files on exit (at bottom of code)... I have the source code uploaded to the web as well as my 2 text test files inside a zip file(they need to be unzipped so you can try to test the program) and .class file... the program works the way i want it to, but i just can't seem to delete the 3 temporary files i use... why??? why does it return false???
Thanks in advance,

}I tired your program, it still gives false for files deleted. I tool the same functions you used in your program and ran it. The files get deleted. Tried this :
<pre>
import java.io.*;
import java.lang.*;
import java.util.*;
public class FileTest {
public static void main(String args[]) {
FileTest f = new FileTest();
try {
f.createFile();
f.deleteFile();
} catch(IOException ioe){
System.out.println(ioe.getMessage());
public void createFile() throws IOException {
System.out.println("In create file method...");
File test = new File("test1.txt");
File tst = new File("text2.txt");
PrintStream testStream = new PrintStream (new FileOutputStream (test));
PrintStream tstStream = new PrintStream (new FileOutputStream (tst));
testStream.println("this is a test to delete a file");
tstStream.println("this is the second file created");
testStream.close();
tstStream.close();
public void deleteFile() throws IOException {
File test = new File("test1.txt");
File tst = new File("text2.txt");
System.out.println(test.delete());
System.out.println(tst.delete());
</pre>
Also check the starting and closing braces for your if..else blocks.

Can someone else log onto their iTunes account on my iPad
Can someone else log into their iTunes account on ur iPad
They can if they sign out of your ID in the Settings app first. The option can be found by selecting iTunes and App Store, then tapping on your ID. Any purchases downloaded on the device stay until they are deleted, but apps must be updated using the ID that originally downloaded them

If Iq backup my iPhone using my icloud can someone else using the same Apple ID as me back up their iPhone to icloud?
If they sign into your iCloud account with your ID, their iCloud backup would then be in your account. However, they would also be sharing your iCloud account and any data they sync with the account (contacts, calendars, etc.) will be merged with yours and the merged list will appear on both phones. They would also be able to access your email account and their photo stream photos would be merged with yours (as you would be sharing the same photo stream). Furthermore, if they are using iOS 7 and turn on Find My iPhone while signed into your account, their phone will require your iCloud ID and password in order to be turn off Find My iPhone, sign out of iCloud or erase and reactivate their phone.
Unless you wish to share all this data, and have the other person's data merged with yours you should do this. (iCloud accounts are really designed to be used by a single person.) -
Hi, just upgraded my iphone 4s to ios6. all of my playlists are gone and if i create a new one, i does not appear on my phone. itunes match is activated. can someone help me?
You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

hi...i'm still using the old iphone 3G...my phone is no longer charging...when i tried to charge it, what i see on the screen is the usb cord with the arrow pointing the itunes logo...can someone help me?
It sounds like your phone is in recovery mode, which means it needs to be restored through iTunes on your computer in order to get out of it.

i bought my ipad from ksa and am from egypt .. my ipad connected to the itunes in ksa but from someone else laptop and i came here to egypt and it says itunes could not connect to this ipad becuz an unknown error :S what should i do please someone tell me !!?
Your iPad is syncd with iTunes on your computer and your iTunes account controls what's in your iPad. Previously it must have been sync'd with another person's iTunes account in which case you need to completely clear it out to make it your own.
Go to Settings > General > Reset (at bottom) > Erase All Content and Settings
Then plug it into your computer and restore it with YOUR iTunes account.
Or if your have an iTunes account already setup under your name with your own apps and media -
Plug it into your computer, open iTunes if it doesn't open automatically and on your iPad page, click Restore
Let it proceed. Then the iPad will no longer be looking for someone else's account. -

is it possible to download itunes several times and it not be on the computer? if it is, can someone tell me how to retrieve it, please.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Also, you should be able to redownload via iTunes on the computer. See that method included here:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
Please can someone explain how to delete and email address that when typed in brings up one name but when you hit return to confirm it jumps to another name. I can't find them in my contacts list but they do come up when you type the first few letters of a name.
EG If I type xyz and the name of the person comes up, when I press return to confirm that's the one I want then it jumps to [email protected], always the same def address.
I can't fathom it out.
Thanks
TerriTry this:
Start a new email. In the To address bar, type in xyz like you normally do, press return to confim, and when the address you want to remove shows up in the address bar, move your cursor over the address you want to delete.
A small triangle next to the name will show up. click on it, a drop down menu will open, click Remove from Previous Recipients List. Then do the drop down menu again and Remove Address.
Good luck. -

Can someone else confirm this bug or is it just me?
I think I've run into another *choose file name* bug. I have a script which uses the text returned from a *display dialog* command to gather part of the file name for a *choose file name* command. I usually paste the other part of the file name in off the clipboard. This all worked fine as long as I was running the script from within the Script Editor application. The problem I'm having started after I saved the script as an application. I cannot paste anything from the clipboard into the *choose file name* text field if it comes after another *choose file name* command or a *display dialog* command that has a text field.
Harder to explain than to just show a couple of examples. Please check out these examples and let me know which text fields you are able to paste into...
Example #1:
<pre style="width:630px;height:auto;overflow-x:auto;overflow-y:hidden;"
title="Copy this code and paste it into your Script Editor application.">set theText to "**Try To Paste Something Here**"
choose file name with prompt "Works." default name theText
choose file name with prompt "Doesn't Work!!" default name theText
display dialog "Works Here Though!!" default answer theText</pre>
Example #2:
<pre style="width:630px;height:auto;overflow-x:auto;overflow-y:hidden;"
title="Copy this code and paste it into your Script Editor application.">set theText to "**Try To Paste Something Here**"
display dialog "Works." default answer theText
choose file name with prompt "Doesn't Work!!" default name theText
choose file name with prompt "Doesn't Work Here Either!!!" default name theText
display dialog "Works Again Here Though!!" default answer theText</pre>
As a workaround, I've started using another application, such as *System Events* or Finder, to display all *choose file name* commands. Like in this next example...
Example #3
<pre style="width:630px;height:auto;overflow-x:auto;overflow-y:hidden;"
title="Copy this code and paste it into your Script Editor application.">set theText to "**Try To Paste Something Here**"
display dialog "Works." default answer theText
tell application "Finder"
activate
choose file name with prompt "Works." default name theText
choose file name with prompt "Works." default name theText
end tell</pre>
Thanx in advance for taking the time to help me figure this out!!Say the clipboard content is JumpinJackFlash. The following script...
<pre style="width:630px;height:auto;overflow-x:auto;overflow-y:hidden;"
title="Copy this code and paste it into your Script Editor application.">set theName to text returned of (display dialog "" default answer "123456789")
set theDest to choose file name default name (the clipboard) & "-" & theName</pre>
...works fine as long as I for sure want the name to be JumpinJackFlash-123456789. If I don't want to use the contents of the clipboard, and want to change the name to start with JackAndJill, I now have to delete the JumpinJackFlash part of the name in order to manually type in JackAndJill. This is just an arbitrary example, and I know this is a fairly trivial bug, but an annoyance that shouldn't be there. At least I've now confirmed that this doesn't just affect me and I've filed a bug report with Apple. We'll see where that gets us. I already have another bug report filed with Apple for *choose file name* regarding file extensions in the text field that they've informed me is a duplicate of someone else's earlier submission.
Thanx so much for taking the time to check into this problem with me Pierre!
