Simple question about iPhone backups and password

I can't remember the password to my iPhone-backup in iTunes. But, phew, I haven't lost any data, as I have my iPhone with all data intact. So I deleted the backup in iTunes, and tried to start a fresh backup with a new password. But alas, that doesn't seem to be possible (it backs up, but doesn't ask for a password, and when trying to uncheck encryption I get asked for a password).
Does this mean iTunes now won't let me back up and retrieve the data I actually have on my very own phone? And does it mean that I now have two options:
a. Keep on using my iPhone, keeping the data on it, but without the ability to backup and retrieve the backups, or
b. restore and set up my iPhone as a new device, losing all my data

If you update you will not be able to go back to a previous iOS version. The iOS is not included in the backup. The following link gives details of what is included: iTunes: About iOS backups

iTunes is required to transfer iTunes content from your iTunes library on your computer - music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, 3rd party apps, and selected photos from your computer to your iPhone. iTunes also serves as the sync conduit for contacts and calendar events between your iPhone and the supported address book and calendar application on your computer.
iTunes creates and maintains a backup for your iPhone which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process. The backup does not include all data on your iPhone. The backup does not include any iTunes content - music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, or 3rd party apps. All iTunes content on your iPhone should remain in your iTunes library on your computer and the backup doesn't include any photos transferred from your computer. All photos transferred from your computer should remain on your computer as well.
This link provides the data that is included with your iPhone's backup.

Question about iPhone/iPod and playing songs

Hi all,
This is my first question here, so please be patient with me if I'm rambling, or this is posted in the wrong forum.
I've recently downloaded a language learning course and want to put it on my iPhone so I can learn Italian as I'm on the bus. While it's great having this course at my fingertips, I want to keep these particular audio files from playing when I'm listening to music on the iPod.
So my question(s) is this..is it possible to somehow ADD files to the iPhone (iPod) while excluding them from the general iPod playlist? I don't want to have to skip over these files each time I'm listening to music, but I still want to keep the files on the iPhone(iPod). If it is possible, how would I go about it?
Thanks for all help!
Cheers!

There's a work around by using playlists in computer's iTunes.
In iTunes, create one playlist with all the songs you want on the iPhone.
Create another with your language courses.
Sync with the selected playlists in iTunes when connected to the iPhone.
(With iPhone connected and selected in iTunes, in Music tab select Sync Music, Selected playlists, artists, ... and checked the two playlists mentioned above. Click Sync button.)
Now on iPhone you can choose music or language course playlist without interferences.

Simple question about table structure and HR in BW

i need to following data from HR:
current FTE, employee number, cost place
i dont think the current FTE is stored per employee. Therefor is would need a list that contains:
mutation start date, mutation end date, FTE, employee, cost place
i think cost place is a custom field.
my question : what tables names and field names do i need?
Thanks in advanced

Hi,
For Head Count you can use 0HR_PA_0 datasource and the other Employee details like start date and end date you can get them from employee master data and FTE can be calculated from the Emloyee Master Data and Head count data.
Hope this helps...
Thanks,

We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
Only you will know what your email address is, nobody else will. If you can't remember it then do you have any of the account's downloads in your computer's iTunes library : Recovering a forgotten iTunes Store account name ?
If not then see if you can find it via http://appleid.apple.com : Apple ID: How to find your Apple ID.
When you've remembered or found your email address then you can get its password reset via http://iforgot.apple.com

Please help, simple question about Smart Playlists and Live Updating

PLEASE for some reason I've never gotten an answer on this.
I have a Smart Playlist called "Recently Played" with Live Updating. No matter how I set the parameters, the most recently played *song will ALWAYS appear on the bottom of the list when using my iPhone on the go.* I bolded that because I want you to be aware I'm not talking about on iTunes - I'm aware you can change how the list is viewed on iTunes.
When using your iPod/iPhone on the fly and Live Updating is enabled, is there any way to make the most recently played song appear at the very top???
Thanks so much

Haven't seen that problem before but try the following: in iTunes, right-click the playlist name and enable the option "Copy to Play Order." Then sync.
The normal use of "Copy to Play Order" when you have the playlist displayed in iTunes in some sort order, but you want it to display in the iPod in shuffled order (as it will actually play). Different problem than you are observing, but the same thing "might" help.... Let us know.

Question about image backup and restore

W701 about 18 months old.
I regularly back up using Rescue and Recovery. It says: "Saving an image of your system to your USB external storage device." I haven't found a way to get any clue about what is included in the image. I can't select properties of the backup, or find out what the size is.
I've also tried google, and of the new info, none of it was useful.
Does this backup include both drives, C and D?
And it seems that this backup is just to do a restore on the same computer. If I even replace the SSD with a larger rotating hard drive, I don't suppose I'd be able to use the restore, would I?

Hi Ashutosh,
You can make use of Snapclone back technology If you want a faster backup of your Database.In our company we make use of this technology.Please find the attached link below to know more details about it.

Question about iphone 3g and old ipod charger

hello
i brought an ipond nano and got fitted in my car the CONNECTS2 I-CONNECT FM CAR IPOD ADAPTOR
item number here from ebay, 380089765734
now the question i have is when i plug this into my iphone 3g, it states this connection is not suitable for chargeing ipohne, all be it, it still plays music perfect
after doing some reading i found out iphone 3g have moved the charging pins around for some strange reason
so will this do any damage to my iphone if i carry on useing it, or will there be an adaptor to convert one back to the other
thanks

Question about iphone apps and saved data.

So let's say I'm playing a game from the app store on my iphone and I beat it. Now I want to buy a new game but I don't have enough space to keep them both on my phone. So I delete the old one from my phone knowing it will still be on my mac. Then I play the new game and beat it and I start wanting to play that old game again. So I put the old one back on my phone and I lost everything I did before. Why? Is there a way I can take an app off my iphone without losing all the saved data?

Here's how it works (from page 179 of the iPhone iOS4 User Guide). You can delete apps you install from the App Store. If you delete an app, data associated with the app is no longer available to iPhone, unless you reinstall the app and restore its data from a backup.
You can reinstall an app and restore its data as long as you backed up iPhone with iTunes on your computer. (If you try to delete an app that hasn’t been backed up to your computer, an alert appears.) To retrieve the app data, you must restore iPhone from a backup containing the data.
To restore from a backup, see page 257 of the iPhone iOS4 User Guide

Question about full backup and Transaction Log file

I had a query will taking full backup daily won't allow my log file to grow as after taking the full backup I still see the some of the VLF in status 2. It went away when I manually took the backup of log file. I am bit confused shall I
perform backup of transaction log and full database backup daily to avoid such things in future also until I run shrinkfile the storage space from server won't get reduced right.

yes, full backup does not clear log file only log backup does. once the log backup is taken, it will set the inactive vlfs in the log file to 0.
you should perform log backup as the per your business SLA in data loss.
Go ahead and ask this to yourself:
If a disaster strikes and your database server is lost and your only option is restore it from backup,
how much data loss can your business handle??
the answer to this question is how frequently your log backup should be?
if the answer is 10 mins, you should have log backups every 10 mins atleast.
if the answer is 30 mins, you should have log backups every 30 mins atleast.
if the answer is 90 mins, you should have log backups every 90 mins atleast.
so, when you restore, you will restore latest fullbackup+differential(latest one taken after restored fullback)
and all the logbackups taken since the latest(restored full or differential backup).
there several resources on web,inculding youtube videos, that explain these concepts clearly.i advice you to look at them.
to release the file space to OS, you should the shrink the file. log file shrink happens from the end upto the point it reaches an active vlf.
if there are no inactive vlf's in the end,despite how many inactive vlf's the log file has in the begining, the log file is not shrinkable
Hope it Helps!!

Questions about image size and password

Is there some way to click on an image in iWeb and determine what its file size is?
When the Inspector shows Photo Download Size, does that pertain to all photos on one particular page?
Is there any way to password protect certain pages of a site, or create a subsite that is protected?

For why your files went to 30GB, see this post.

A simple question about c:out and the ADF bindings

I have a small problem which I can't figure out :-(
The solution is probably dead easy, but I don't see it ..
The problem is :
I have a jsp-file which have the following tags :
<c:out value="${bindings.EstimatedInterest}" />
<c:out value="${bindings.RemainingAmount}" />
And I want to have one more field which just adds these two together.
But I get this error :
Attempt to coerce a value of type "oracle.jbo.uicli.binding.JUCtrlAttrsBinding" to type "java.lang.Long" (null)
Can anyone pls point me in the right direction ?
With regards, TA

Hi Thor,
try this,
<c:set var="EstimatedInterest" value="${bindings.EstimatedInterest}"/>
<c:set var="RemainingAmount" value="${bindings.RemainingAmount}"/>
<c:out value="${EstimatedInterest+RemainingAmount}" />

Simple question about af:panelTabbed and required="true"

Hello,
I have a component af:panelTabbed with four tabs:
In the fourth tab i have an af:inputText with the tag required="true"
The problem is: The required is only applied if i am at the fourth tab (where the inputText is on).
If i am at first tab, the form is commited and the required is not applied.
Any help, please ?

Simple question about environment variables and setting the class path???

ok I have been trying for a few months now ontrying to set the class path..
I work with windows vista..
on the environment variables user variables,
I have the name of the variable as class
and the value as C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_04\bin;.
where javac is...
on the system variables I have
its name as class
and the value as C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_04\bin;.
why is this not reading javac

The PATH environment variable should have as an entry the directory containing your javac executable. The CLASSPATH should have have entries which define your library directories and entries which are your jar file libraries. In the early days, probably the only CLATHPATH entry you will need will be a '.' to indicate the current directory.
The Java tutorial covers ALL of this.
