What exactly means "Restore iPhone"

I am using the iPhone 4s with iOS 7.1.2 and I want to restore it. But what it exactly means? Now the lates available iOS is 8.1.1. I bought my iPhone with iOS 7.0.4.
I want to know what exactly happends when I "restore my iPhone" by iTunes. It will restore my iPhone to iOS 7.1.2 - this one which I currently use. Or it will restore my device to previos version of software (7.0.4)? Or it "restore" my device and also update it to 8.1.1?
Please tell me what will happens. I'm asking because I won't to update my device and also don't back to previous soft.
Best Regards,
Pawel

When you restore, your device is erased and the latest version of iOS will always be installed (currently 8.1, not 8.1.1). At the end of restoring, you'll be prompted to load your last backup, or not load a backup (i.e. starting fresh). After that, if you chose to load your backup then all your apps, music, videos, etc. will be re-loaded .... it may take awhile, so give it time and don't unplug or interrupt the process. BEFORE you restore, make sure you initiate a backup to iTunes (not iCloud) and that is normally offered right when you start the restore process -- be sure to do that if you want to recover your settings, accounts, app data, etc.

What exactly does Restore do?

Forgive me if this has been covered before, but I did search and didn't find my specific answers.
I synced my bookmarks with my Safari browser on my PC. All is good, except that the sync also copied the default bookmark folders "bookmark bar" and "bookmarks", which are both empty and redundant on my Touch. They are listed 2nd and 3rd on the Touch bookmarks list, taking up valuable space! But, since they're default folders, I can not delete them, just like the "History" folder on the Touch.
Anyway, I've read that the only way to remove them is to restore my iPod, and never sync bookmarks from Safari again. (IMHO it seems completely crazy that syncing from one Safari to another would be so problematic!)
So, what exactly does Restore do? I know it resets the ipod to factory settings, but what happens to all my bookmarks and webclippings? Is there anyway to back those up and edit my bookmarks manually to remove the two default folders?? Because if not, it seems that this wouldn't be a fix at all, instead just a big ol pain in the arse. This is a very annoying bug and I hope it is fixed in the next update. :/
Any help is very appreciated!

Assuming you're using Windows (going by your system specs)...if you have bookmarks you need to preserve only for the touch, export all your current Internet Explorer (IE) bookmarks/favorites to a file and back that up. Then delete ALL bookmarks in IE & sync your bookmarks only using iTunes (IE has to be open for the bookmark sync to work properly). Your bookmarks will sync with IE and only the ones that were on your touch should be in your current IE bookmarks. Now export those bookmarks to a different file. When you want to restore the touch and it's bookmarks, sync the touch and select the option to over-write/replace the bookmarks on the touch. To get your Windows IE bookmarks back, restore from the first backup file you made. Note that the sort order after importing the bookmarks back into IE will be alphabetical rather than by when the bookmark was added. I don't think there's any getting around that.
As far as deleting the default folders you're looking to get rid of, I don't believe that it's currently possible.

What exactly means Linked Subreport?

What exactly means Linked Subreport?When i create a primary report with fields customer id & Country and subreport with Customer id & Lastyear'sSales and try to link the subreport by selecting Customer id the subreport shows only the data for last record from primary report.Not clear about the linking subreports...Linking should show all the fields matching for Customer id or only the last record?Need an detailed explanation as is it is not clear...  

Firstly,
IsÂ it on Demand-Subreport?...Â If not where are you placingÂ the subreport if it is in Report Footer it will show only last record for data from primary report.
Place the Subreport in Details Section and you will see the corresponding records for the Customer ID but before that you have to link it on Customer ID.
Thanks

ABAP Certification - What exactly means the "dynamic programming" topic?

Hi all,
Actually i´m studying for my ABAP exam and i´d like to know what exactly means dynamic programming(of ABAP Advanced topic, take a look at http://www50.sap.com/useducation/certification/curriculum.asp?rid=493&vid=5).
Is it only about creating a new program dynamically? or anything else? I just want to know where will be my focus on it.
thank you!
André

Dynamic programming could refer to a number of things, but here I assume that it refers to such things like, creating a dynamic internal table at runtime, and/or using RTTS, or it could mean, simply using fields symbols.

What exactly mean by manual reports

Hi
Can anyone tell me what exactly mean by manual reports and what do you mean by automatinng those manual reports...does it mean scheduling those reports.
Thanks

From my experience, manual reports, for example, are created in a tool like Excel.
A business analyst will extract data from a source system and create a report in Excel for other business users. This often happens for Monthly and Quarterly reporting cycles.
Many businesses are choosing Oracle Hyperion to automate this process.
Using a system of servers and software Oracle Hyperion can extract data and create reports automatically. This helps to improve efficient as well as data quality and allows everyone to analyze the same values the same way across the business.
Does this help?

So what exactly is this iphone 5 rattlling noise?

Whenever i get a text message, my phone vibrates. After the vibration theres also this faint rattling noise that i hear. Like something loose inside my phone. You also hear it when you tap on the back or you place it down. Its annoying and makes the phone feel cheap.
I did have the same problem with the iphone 4 but that turned out to be camera autofocus? But this is an iphone 5. Plus, i'm also hearing stories of how the rattling is a loose battery?
I'm confused and don't know what's up with the iphone 5's. Rattling is annoying and just makes my apple product feel so cheap.

Noise Problem cured !!!
My iPhone 5 made a rattling noise when shaken after it had "a few falls"
I read in one of the forums that it was the battery coming away from the adhesive.
I checked iFixit teardown of the iPhone 5 and noted the very large battery which occupies two thirds of the screen space from left to right (starting from above the headphone jack side).
I'm not surprised that if it comes loose that it is the cause of the clunking rattle.
One of the forums contributors suggested gradually pressing all the area of the phone on the outside that overlies the battery inside pressing hard between front and back over all of the screen area from left to right that fronts the battery inside. In this way one pushes the battery back on to the adhesive !!
It works perfectly - Problem cured !! - J B Walsh

What exactly is restored in RestoreView?

Does this phase restore both the structure of the page AND the data, or just the structure?

If the request is a postback, the UIViewRoot is restored from the ViewHandler and all values of the componentbindings will be set, otherwise a new view will be created. The values of the valuebindings will be set during the update model values phase.

What exactly means java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

from java docs:
InvocationTargetException is a checked exception that wraps an exception thrown by an invoked method or constructor.

The previous poster is correct. When you invoke a method via reflection there are basically two types of errors: ones that originated from an access violation, e.g. your thread doesn't have premission to invoke the method, or ones that are simply runtime errors thrown by the target method, e.g. you inovked an IO method, but that method couldn't find the file you specified. When you encounter an InvocationTargetException, that means the target method was executed, but it threw some Exception.

What exactly does restoring my iPod do to my music?

I know that it says all my songs and data will be lost on my iPod but...will that also wipe out my iTunes folder? It shouldn't, but I want to be absolutely sure.

will that also wipe out my iTunes folder?
No. Restoring only formats the iPod and reinstalls the iPod OS.
Nothing is changed on the computer.
