Sync/ Sorry I didn't find an answer to this anywhere else

I have a new computer because my old one crashed. I can not retrieve any of the old information, my question is how do I add new music without deleting my old music?

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
iRepo Mac and Windows
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

ITUNES 7.0 - I cannot find an answer to this anywhere? I NEED HELP

On certain albums, my computer rearranges whichever song is playing to the first position on the album, but the track number stays the same. It then proceeds to play the album reordering the songs, which often results in the same songs being played over and over. It only does this with certain albums though, and I cannot find a way to fix this. It never did it in iTunes 6, but whenever I updated to the newest version, it started. I have posted 2 previous posts about this and nobody has responded saying they know what to do. I also cannot find an email address to email apple support at. SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME

I think I solved the problem. I think iTunes somehow named an "Album Artist" in addition to the "Artist" (or stripped the Album Artist from the other tracks). The trick here is to use Get Info to see what is different about the odd track. I'm ashamed I didn't use this diagnostic technique earlier. Anyway, deleting the text from the offending song fixed the problem.
I think I must have converted the song to the protected format some time ago, just to try it out.
I'd ask you to re-upgrade to 7.0.2 just to see if this works. If it does, you may want to mark this question as answered.

Why can't I find the answer to this anywhere?

Hi, please help a beginner...
I'm trying to build an online catalog with PHP and MySQL, using Dreamweaver.
I have a problem with filters... here it is:
I have some variables... let's take 1 for ex. $manuf in which I want to store the manufacturer (for the notebooks table, like "acer", "alienware" etc.).
I figured I'll do the filters one of 2 ways:
1. through dropdown list/menu and I've populated the list with the values "acer" "alienware" etc.
and in "OnChange" event of the list/menu I want to assign the selected value of the list/menu to the variable $manuf.
HOW do I do this??? I can't find anything like a property list1.selected for ex. to simply write <?php $manuf = list1.selected ?>
where list1. should be the name of the list/menu (right?...)
or
2. it looks nicer with a SpryMenu.
So I have a Spry Menu like "Manufacturer" etc.
And Submenus like "Acer", "Alienware" etc.
now... when I click the submenu labeled "Acer" I can just do the php $prod = "acer" BUT HOW can I also change the menu's caption to say "Manufacturer - Acer" instead of just "Manufacturer" ??? ('cause I want people to see what filter is applied). Again, I can't find any property like sprymenu1.caption or something like that.
P.S.
regarding the list/menu... I can populate it dynamically, from the database... with the values from $manuf field. BUT they repeat, because there are more than 1 "acer" for ex. in the catalog (database). HOW can I dynamically populate the list from the database, without repeating any value???

For the time being I think I am going to start with just problem 1 because I think as I go through explaining this to you, the answer to #2 will become more clear.
Javascript is like Actionscript (Flash) and can be executed in runtime meaning that if you execute javascript on a page you can see the results immediately. PHP, on the other hand, is a preprocessor meaning that the code is executed prior to a page load and cannot be executed in runtime like Javascript can. Your mix of the two for this instance is really not needed unless you want the form to act dynamically. Because of this there are 2 ways to approach the situation:
1. If you want to stick with PHP, when you submit the form, the values of the stored will be stored in the global variables ( http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php ). Based on the method of your form will depend on how you extract the data. For instance, if your form method is "POST" and the drop-down field named "manuf" has a value of "Dell", then when you submit the form, the variable $_POST['manuf'] will be equal to "Dell".
With this example the form has to be submitted because Javascript cannot send commands to PHP once the page has been loaded because the PHP has already been executed.
2. This way is a lot more complicated so I won't go into much detail. But, the Spry Dataset functions are intended for updating data live without the need to submit a form forcing a page refresh for the PHP to execute. What happens with the Spry dataset is that you store all the information in mySQL and then the Spry Dataset will convert this into XML for you. PHP will be used to run the initial query of your database and depending on the size of your database can be used to filter the data so you do not end up with an extremely large XML file slowing your page load time. I do have a basic example I did awhile back located here ( http://www.exitplaystation.com/warhawk/trophies.php ). That used a static XML document at the time. I do have a more dynamic example. It was actually done for work, but I might be able to modify it with bogus information and upload it to show you a dynamic version. In the meantime if you want to see a professional example of this in action:
http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/draft-tracker#round=1&team=ALL&school=ALL&position=ALL
FoxSports uses the Spry Dataset sort functions and some extra code for their live NFL draft system. Refreshes automatically and sorts from the top drop-down menus. So as you can see all of their data is loaded from their database connection and refreshed in real-time. This is a very complicated example and requires modifications to the Spry code, but it shows the power of what Spry can do.
Let me know which way you would prefer to go with this. Personally I would recommend #1 for starters until you get going and feel more comfortable with PHP and Javascript. Also if you give more a little more detail on your code I could help you implement it if you are having difficulty understanding.

I can't find the answer for this anywhere on the internet...please help

I am trying to learn some things that arent taught to me in class and I would say that I am a beginner, but I have a solid knowledge base of the syntax of java. I am trying to make a program that will log into my gmail account for me. I have to do a presentation at the end of the semester and I would like to take the input from the user and log into gmail by outputting the input taken into the gmail login textboxes. Is this done through source or is it something different. I know this seems pointless, but I think it is fun to learn new things in this language. I can always make it more usefull for myself if I go back and make my usename and password static or final within my class. If anyone can help me or at least tell me what classes in the API would be helpfull for this that would be great. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply kitty...I guess I am not as good as I thought because I don't really know how to impliment this and truely understand it. How long have you been programming java?

Apps Refuse to Open - I haven't found an answer to this anywhere else :(

Hey,
I have recently had trouble with a few apps made by the company Voltage Inc., it seems similar to a lot of problems seen with apps on the iPod touch, when I touch the app to load it, it starts up but then after a few seconds it shuts off again, in some cases a message appears 'Close App' and the only option is to press 'Yes'. I have tried all of the fixes for it, including:
Turning the iPod on and off
Turning the app off
Installing the app a new from the app store
Installing a new app from the store
Updating my iPod to the newest iOS
Every other app on my iPod works, so I don't understand why these aren't, I don't believe it's got anything to do with my iPod as my other apps all work so restoring it wont do much good. I have bought over £40 of in app purchases from this company and as of yet I have found nowhere I can submit a complaint to, or even go about getting my money back if this glitch isn't fixed.
Help! :'(

Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
Restore to factory settings/new iPod

I had synced all my infos (passwords etc.) in my old laptop but today, when I linked my new laptop with my firefox sync account, I didn't find my saved infos.

Before I came to my new place, I had saved all my info like passwords, bookmarks etc. in my old laptop and synced them with my Firefox sync account. But, after I came to my new place, I bought a new laptop. But when I signed in my Firefox sync account in my new laptop, I didn't find all those bookmarks or saved passwords. What do I do?

Yes, I would say that your passwords are gone. When the Sync Key is "updated" as indicated in that part of the sync-log that I cropped, the server is wiped of the users data because that data is useless. That Sync key is the encryption key for the users data when that data is off the user's devices which are connected to Firefox Sync. No one except for the person with the correct Sync Key (the "owner" of that Sync account) can use that data as the data is scrambled.
I am curious about the full text of the last two sync-log files, 11kb and 38kb is a lot more data than usual for a sync-log. On my 3 separate Sync accounts I usually see sync-log files of 3kb to 8 kb when there is an error-. Problem is that this forum software doesn't provide for file uploads, and doing a copy&paste of that data into the Reply Box doesn't preserve the line formatting - making it very difficult to read and follow the sequence of events.
Sorry we didn't have a successful conclusion.

TS4008 Can't find an answer to this question.

I will just break down the details simply and hopefully it makes sense.. A friend and I follow each other using Find my Friends. Only recently have we started having a problem, where in, I am not able to follow my friend, after we have already been following each other. On the app's screen it will have their name and it will say they are "a follower." But I am not able to follow their location. On their end, everything is seemingly fine.
It doesn't even go as far as to say "location unavailable" (which would happen if they went incognito or stopped their location services, right?) when I tap on my friends name, just says that they are a "follower," again I cannot follow them. So I am having to re-invite them multiple times a day. Can anyone explain what is going on or how to fix this issue? Is it a known issue?
Have closed the app, uninstalled, re-installed, updated iPhones to current software, reset phones. Have made each other "favorites." Don't know what else to do.

According to Steve Wozniak's autobiography, "iWoz", the price of $666.66 was chosen solely because it was about the about of markup over the wholesale cost that they wanted and Steve liked repeating digits (in an interview he said that it was "an easier way to type"). Given the times - very, very early in the personal computer development - I doubt very much that they lost any sales due to someone's religious objections.

HT1212 My iPad is disabled because of too many password incorrect answers. I tryed connecting to iTunes but it still said Enter Password On iPad, and it said only Try Again, Cancel and Find an answer to this problem, or something simular to that. What do

My ipad is disabled because of too many itemps and I tryed connecting to iTunes but it said nothing on the Apple Support page said it would. What do I do???

The answer is in the article. Finish reading the second part:
If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
"iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
"You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

Firefox window will not resize. It keeps "popping" down to about 2" high x 8" wide visible window area. Unacceptable, and I cannot find an answer to this, so am having to use another un-preferred browser!

Visible window area is too small. 2" high x regular width. I am using a Macintosh and have version 3.6.6 loaded.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== mid July

I have the same problem only I am using Windows XP. I just upgraded Firefox to the latest upgrade. Size problem just occurred today and can't fix it or find a solution yet.

Couldn't find the answer to this in any other forum about the MacProtector Malware. Please HELP!!!

I clicked on a link while reading a story about vegetarian athletes today and the MacProtector malware downloaded to my computer. I DID NOT install the application when the installer opened. I immediately started searching for support on what to do. I exited the installer and rebooted in safe mode. I found the program in the downloads menu and put it in the trash. I emptied my trash. I have looked through all of the possible places the program could be hiding and I did not see anything. Am I safe? Should I still change my password? Also, will the virus be able to find my credit card information linked to iTunes or any other shopping websites? Should I start using Foxfire permanently instead of safari?
I would appreciate any help- even though I know this has been discussed quite a bit!

Hi, here is how to remove it by yourself...
http://goo.gl/J7R6A
Script that I create which, will help you remove it ..... (Let me know using the contact at that site.)
http://goo.gl/rGV62
What is does.
Depending on the version it just creates a bunch of random fake notification and claims your infected. If you keep getting it then most likely you have Allow popups and "Open Safe files" in safari on. The only damage is if you give the criminals that created it your Credit Card.
It is changing so it depend on the version but these two links should help.

I've read a whole bunch of forums about printing from the Ipad2, I think I understand that, but I haven't found anything answering this: I'm hesitating to buy an Ipad because I can't find an answer if this will work.

What I want to do: Set up a (non-gmail...Mobileme or another recommended) dedicated email account on my ipad2 (or ipad3) that does nothing but send e-mails and attachments to my gmail account. Once sent, I can turn off my Ipad and put it away. Then I can go to any computer that can open and print out my received gmail and attachments. (Like, duh, any computer with an internet connection -smile-)
A year from now, I might try setting this up to go thru google cloud/ cloud print -- do you know if apple is doing anything that willl prevent this?
For now, just e-mail and attachments, sent to my gmail account from ipad. The ipad account is to use a unique e-mail address, password, username, login.
Know if this will work? If a work-around is needed, do you know of one? I'm real vague about what a 'push' is in e-mail speak.
Thanks, minimalistme

Sorry, but I'm a bit more confused (by your examples).

Hi Chris - I'm just trying to be able to get print-outs from my ipad without carrying a special printer around. Suppose I'm traveling and want to provide a bank statement to verify income: I can ask them ( a landlord, say) to let me print it out and sign it for them.
This assumes you are using your iPad and they have an AirPrint capable printer. Or you send/email the form to them.
Or I need to print out a PDF while I'm visiting my nephew - I can fill it out and have him print it out for me. Or I can fill out that landlord's application blank with my ipad and email it to him.
What does this have to do with emailing from one of your accounts to another of your accounts?
Gmail apparently prevents us from sending emails to ourselves.
You mean from/to the same account?
If you can access the email, why would you need to resend it to the same account?
Anyway, its not a privacy issue, but rather a work-around
Don't understand/know what you are working around...
Access the email then send to your landlord or nephew and have them print it.
If they have an AirPrint printer available, you can print it yourself.
Use their computer to access your email though webmail and print it on their printer.
Again, I don't understand what forwarding the email to yourself will accomplish.

Can't find an answer to this javascript problem!

Hi there
I have always found Firefox great but i'm about to switch to google chrome because for the last month or more everytime i click on lots of links i need to visit, firefox says:
'Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (javascript) isn't associated with any program.'
I try the same sites on google chrome and its fine.
this happened ever since the last Java update.
I have tried to go to the about:configure page and toggle the list from true to false , but it doesn't work - loads of them still keep coming up as false.
I'd be really grateful is someone could tell me how to fix this or i will have to say bye to firefox which is really sad as it used to be great

According to a suggestion in another thread, you may want to try the following to return certain JavaScript settings to their defaults.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''javasc''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) If the line with '''network.protocol-handler.external.javascript''' is bold (or shows user set true), double-click it to return its value to the default setting of false. This should get rid of that error.
(4) If the line with '''javascript.enabled''' is bold (or shows user set false), double-click it to return its value to the default setting of true.
Another thing to do would be to see if you have a user.js file active in your Profile Folder. The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
You can delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release. You can get to the profile folder below:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory > Show Folder
or
*Go to '''about:support''' and click Show Folder next to Profile Directory.

Your biggest problem will be finding a retail copy of the Leopard install DVD. Finding a Family Pack will be even harder.
Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
