Please Help!!

    You do realize that the SIM only contains account information for your wireless account.
    Moving the SIM from phone to phone does not cause any of your iTunes content, contacts, email, etc to magically appear on the device.

    Paul--you are a life-saver!! Worked great. I did have to look around to make sure I was getting 4.9 instead of 4.7 (even when the file was named 4.9 at techspot.com), but I finally got the right file, did the install as you suggested, and everything is now fine. One note, though, that I haven't seen mentioned in any of this thread: when I first tried to open up iTunes after getting back to 4.9, the following message appeared: "The file iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." I merely went to the old .itl file that was created when I did the update to iTunes 5, renamed it, moved it over to my now new 4.9, and iTunes opened fine. My library was a few days out of date, because of the few days' lag from the time I did the iTunes update, but that was easily taken care of, and everything's now working fine. Thanks again!!!

  • What is the importance of Only One Business Partner Allowed

    Hi all,
    We know that the Relation between BP and Contract account is :
    1 BP : n CA.
    If the above relation is true, I would like to know the importance of the configuration "Only One Business Partner Allowed" in the below path:
    Financial Accounting(New) >>Contract Acounts and Recievables>>Basic Functions >>Contract Accounts >>Field Modifications>>Configure Field Attributes for Contract Account Category.
    If we don't check the field for "Only One Business Partner Allowed" , Does it contradict to the 1BP : n CA relation ?
    Regards,
    Sai
    Edited by: kantesai on Aug 10, 2011 10:35 PM

    n BP : n CA relation is possible.
    One BP must be account holder from all BPs of CA. Rest of BPs can be Alternate Account, Spouse etc.
    Please check table FKKVKP from technical perspective, as both BP and CA are primary key. If it was 1 BP : n CA then there would have only VKONT been as primary key.
    Thanks,

  • I have set hyperlinks within my ibook author document, they work perfectly until i export and view on the ipad, when only one or none work, (hyperlinks to website not working at all) what am i doing wrong?

    I have set hyperlinks within my ibook author document, they work perfectly until i export and view on the ipad, when only one or none work, (hyperlinks to website not working at all) what am i doing wrong?

    An external hyperlink should handoff to Safari and leave iBooks.
    If that's not happening, perhaps there is something misconfigured on your iPad? Have you manually confirmed those links work in Safari on your iPad?

  • Unable to install SSL Certificate - ADMIN4118: Only one server certificate can be installed at a time

    Hi,
    We are trying to install SSL certificate (Verisign Class 3) on iPlanet Web Server (version 7). However, at the final step we are getting the error "ADMIN4118: Only one server certificate can be installed at a time"
    We are following the below steps,
    Under "Server Certificates" tab,
         -> Click on "Install" button.
         -> On "Select Configuration" click on "Next" button.
         -> On "Select Tokens and Passwords", select default token as "internal" and click on "Next" button.
         -> On "Enter Certificate Data", select option as "Certficate File" and give path to the certificate file which is having .p7b extension
         -> On "Certificate Details" we are getting warning as "Duplicate Server Details Found" and it's by default using the existing certificate's nickname.
         -> On "Review" page after clicking "Finish" button, an error is displayed saying "ADMIN4118: Only one certificate server can be installed at a time"
    There are multiple sub-domains availble and the new certificate we want to install contains one more sub-domain.
    So, say currently the subdomains present are,
    1.abc.com
    2.abc.com
    so on...
    and now we are trying to install a SSL certificate having one more subdomain say 10.abc.com.
    Please let us know if you have solution to this problem.
    Thanks,
    Rajesh

    Hi Rajesh,
    That error is most commonly seen when you are trying to install a certificate chain into the Web Server.
    The chain should be installed using the "Certificate Authorities" tab per the following steps:
    1) Login to the Admin Console.
    2) Click Edit Configuration from Common Tasks > Configuration Tasks.
    3) Click the Certificates > Certificate Authorities tab from the Configurations page.
    4) Click the Install... tab from the Certificate Authorities (CAs) page.
    An Install CA Certificate Wizard opens. The wizard guides you through the settings available for installing a Certificate Chain. Select Certificate Chain when prompted for Certificate Type.
    You should then see the CA and intermediate certificate(s) listed in the security database.
    If you have access to MOS, more details can be found in the MOS KM Note:
       Oracle iPlanet Web Server - 'ADMIN4118: Only one server certificate can be installed at a time' When Installing Certificate Chain (Doc ID 1925025.1)

  • Use Time Machine on ONLY one specific folder?

    I wish to use the Time Machine function to backup only one specific folder on my computer, the DROPBOX folder.
    How can I implement this and inform Time Machine of my choice?
    According to my first investigations, I only have the choice to select folders to EXCLUDE. This makes the setup of Time Machine unconfortable.
    Any advice?

    I agree with Jeffrey Jones2 above .
    Makes no sense to backup the dropbox folder alone, Dropbox It is "cloud storage" and has its own backup. Dropbox keeps a snapshot every time you save a file. You can preview and restore.
    If you go to the DROPBOX website you can view deleted file from the trash can icon (see below.)
    From there it is a matter of Restore the file. This would work for accidentally deleted files,  there maybe a 30day archive limit so read the small print for details.
    If it is imperative to your backup plan,  just drag and drop  your folder to any external storage device, just not the Time Machine HD/partition.

    How do I pull up only one specific calendar at a time on my iPhone (i.e. 'home calendar')?

    In the calendar app, press the button in the upper left, "Calendars" and turn off/on the ones you want/don't want.

  • Web garden - first time the page loads only one chart appears

    I have a page with 2 charts in a web garden(it's a sharepoint application).  The charts are created programmatically in the Page Load ethod of a custom webpart.  Originally we had issues with charts appearing and disappearing but I have changed
    the config setting to the following and both charts appear most of the time:
       <add key="ChartImageHandler" value="storage=file;timeout=20;dir=C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\Myweb\uploadertemp\;" />
    The problem I'm having is that the first time a user views the page only one of the charts appears.  If i navigate away and return to the page both charts appear.  Is there and issue with my config settings that is causing this behaviour?
    Thanks
    Karen 

    The answer to this (after months of toying with settings and permissions) is not to user the chart control in a web garden.  I have seen the same issue multiple times on-line, with no concrete solution offered .
    My workaround is to save the chart to a memory stream and write it to the page as an image, not as a chart control:
    Chart chart = new Chart();
    //Add data and chart settings here........
    using (var chartStream = new MemoryStream())
    chart.SaveImage(chartStream, ChartImageFormat.Png);
    System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image chartImage =
    new System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image();
    chartImage.ImageUrl =
    "data:image/png;base64," + Convert.ToBase64String(chartImage.GetBuffer());
    chartParentControl.Controls.Add(chartImage);

  • I am trying to transfer my movies (mp4 files) to my IPad, but they are not showing up on the IPad. I have 13 movies showing on my IPad that they are in ICloud. I've sync'd the movies I want to the IPad, but only one is showing under the "movies" folder. ?

    I have been trying to transfer some different movies from my PC to my IPad, but they are not showing in the "movie" folder. I have sync'd the movies (these are mp4 files) that I wanted transfered, but only one is showing in the folder. There are 13 other movies in the folder that have the ICloud symbol in the corner of their picture. I understand that I can pull those movies from ICloud any time I want to watch them, but I want to watch the ones that I've just sync'd with my IPad. How do I find them? After I checked the movies I wanted, I "applied" them and watched it sync and copy the wanted movies to my IPad. Now what?  Thanks.

    There are some good programs that you could use to convert the format, Handbrake or Mpegstreamclip are two good free ones. Convert them to MP4 and then try importing them again.

  • Mid 2011 Macbook Air - Yosemite keyboard and trackpad stopped working, the only button that worked was the power button, only one USB port works.

    I have a Mid 2011 Macbook Air.
    Upgraded to Yosemite last week.
    Three days ago I was using my Macbook Air for the first time since upgrading to Yosemite. I had been using my Macbook Air for approximately 30 minutes, I was using safari and the keyboard and trackpad stopped working (would not respond). The only button that worked was the power button.
    I rebooted and they were still not working. I plugged in a USB mouse and external USB keyboard, only one USB port would work (the Left USB port if looking at the screen) so I had to swap between keyboard and mouse.
    After logging in there is a bluetooth icon at the top of the screen with a sawtooth line through it. Bluetooth is unavailable and the bluetooth icon is missing from the system preferences menu.
    If I run a hardware test by holding D (on USB keyboard) at startup it says that no problems are found and at the conclusion of the test the keyboard and trackpad start working again. When I log on the bluetooth is working again.
    I shut down the Macbook Air and when I started it again the keyboard and trackpad and right side USB ports were all not working again. I logged in using the USB keyboard and mouse and the bluetooth not available sawtooth icon had returned.
    I ran the hardware test again and at the conclusion of the test the trackpad and keyboard started working again.
    I have tried deleting com.apple.Bluetooth.plist and com.apple.Bluetooth.plist.lockfile from /Library/Preferences/ and tried resetting SMC and Power Functions but this did not fix the issue. The only thing that seems to work is running a hardware test - obviously I don't want to do this every time I use the computer.
    I do not believe any hardware is faulty/damaged - I think it has something to do with bluetooth/Yosemite.
    I do not have the Macbook with me at the moment, if you have suggestions that I can try or additional checks/info you require please let me know and I can get back to you.
    Thanks,
    John

    Hi!
    I have exactly the same problem, and I can't find any solution.
    I can't even track down the root of the problem: the Bluetooth/Wifi module? The trackpad? The keyboard/top case? The logicboard?
    I've tried all the usual: SMC/PRAM reset, clean install, kext cache clearing.
    Any suggestion is greatly appreciated!

  • Unable to deploy the PAR file after the first successfully deploy.

    Hi, my gurus.
    I found a problem when I developed the JspDynPage.
    That is after  first deploy the PAR file successfully,I found there is a miss in portalapp.xml, so I correct the miss and then do a second delpoy.But it didn't work.
    I goto the Server's file system to find the portalapp.xml,
    the content of xml was still the old one.
    Anyone can help me, I don't want restart the J2EE Engine,
    because the restart will last for 15mintues.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I dont think there is no need to restart your J2EE Engine.
    Becuase i dont think you have a requirement to create an iview from that PAR File
    If it is so delete the previous iview and create a new iview.
    From the updated PAR File in ur System
    Every Time when you uplaod the PAR the old instance will be lost.and new changes will come into effect on each upload done by you.
    There is no question of restarting ur J2EE Engine.
    Whenever there is a change in you PAR.
    Hope this Helps you.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Lokesh.

  • Due to NAS issues, when I started a new time machine backup it did not have the old backups available. My question is do I need to delete them or will time machine automatically reclaim the space?  Only one Sparse Bundle, same name.

    Due to NAS issues, when I started a new time machine backup it did not have the old backups available. My question is do I need to delete them or will time machine automatically reclaim the space?  There is only one sparse bundle but when I enter time machine I don't see my historic backups.  I use a synology DS212 for my time machine.  Started a new backup which is 218gb but it says 618 gb is occupied  therefore it looks like 2 or 3 backups are still on the disk. Before my NAS issues the last backup was in 2014.  As you can see there is a second sparse bundle from 2012.  Not sure what that is.

    This is an old message now, but what happened to me similarly was:
    I had a major computer crash and through complicated pathways ended up reinstalling (Mavericks) as a new user (long story).
    At least I had good Time Machine backups on an NAS drive (Synology DS212j), or so I thought - when I started Time Machine up again, the old backup file was gone, replaced by a new one using my "new computer" name. The old file was gone both by directly mounting the NAS drive and by clicking "Enter Time Machine".
    It's like I had {OldShareName}.sparsebundle and then it was replaced by {NewShareName}.sparsebundle, all of the old info vanished.
    (I have spent a week finding old files elsewhere and have completed a satisfactory self-restore. It pays to "archive" [my own variation of] as well as "back-up".)
    My belief is that if this were a wired-netword-drive, e.g. plugged right into my iMac with a USB cable, then the old file would have remained.
    But this is an NAS drive, connected directly to my Airport wireless router, and I don't know the significance of the fact that it stores its Time Machine backups as "sparsebundle" files rather than simply as plain(er) files.
    As usual when things get complicated with computers (not just Apple computers) there was never a warning message. Something like "YOU'RE ABOUT TO DELETE A TIME MACHINE BACK-UP FILE!!!" would have made my life a lot simpler.
    BTW, I did try a "restore from Time Machine" option the first thing I had my "new computer" (old hardware, 2009 iMac) up and running, using Migration Assistant, and it ran for many hours and then failed in the wee hours - what that has to do with anything I'm not sure.
    I'm not sure that I have a question about this other than "why do these things happen to me?", but it's a warning. Apart from that I've been very happy with the stability and reliability (but not the cost or set-up complexity) of NAS vs. directly-cabled external drives.
