Really Simple Syndication
"RSS is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated content such as blog entries, news headlines or podcasts. An RSS document, which is called a "feed," "web feed," or "channel," contains either a summary of content from an associated web site or the full text. RSS makes it possible for people to keep up with their favorite web sites in an automated manner that's easier than checking them manually."

  • HT4859 when you go to do this it say that your iPod or whichever device will no longer be backed up to the computer it is currently backed up to, what exactly does that mean? Will i not be able to sync my iPod from that computer?

    when you go to do this it say that your iPod or whichever device will no longer be backed up to the computer it is currently backed up to, what exactly does that mean? Will i not be able to sync my iPod from that computer? Please help me and answer either or both question detailed thanks

    Normally when you sync your device it is automatically backed up to your computer as the first step in the sync process.  When you choose to start backing up your device to iCloud, iTunes stops automatically backing it up on your computer when you sync.  That's what the message is telling your; that you are now backing up to iCloud and not to your computer each time you sync.  You can still manually back up to your computer any time you want by going to the Summary tab and clicking on Back Up Now under Manually Back Up and Restore.
    You can still sync your device as you did before, it just will no longer back up automatically when you do.

  • I'm trying to sync/back-up apps on my iPhone 3G and iTunes keeps telling me it can't complete the operation because "the apps on my iPhone cannot be determined." What the **** does this mean?!

    Same problem. Wish I knew.
    When I tried to Restore, I got an Error 13xx and it won't even do that.
    not a happy camper if a phone this expensive stops working in 2 years.

    It means you will get a refurbished iPhone in exchange for the faulty one you sent in.

  • What exactly does "delivers" mean? ):

    I ordered an iPad mini on the 7 Nov, and right now the status is still processing items, not even close to preparing shipment yet.
    but it says it delivers: 26/11/2012 - 3/12/2012. so my question is what exactly does "delivers" mean?
    the time that it takes to reach you? or the time it takes to be prepared to get ship to you?
    because i thought it takes at least 1-2 weeks to get shipped. but apparently it's not prepared for shipping yet. ):
    Cheers

    It should mean the anticipated date of delivery to you.  This has to take account of preparing for shipping.   Delivers would seem to me to be a firm statement.   (But don't hold me to that)  .

  • HT201210 My iPhone became wet at the beach.  I put it in rice for 4 days.  When I connect to itunes, it says the phone must be restored.  It starts and then gives either the error 2001, or 2006.  What exactly does this mean, and is it worth getting repair

    Water damage isn't covered by warranty, but you could always purchase a refurbished device from Apple. 

  • Dumb Question - what exactly does "Static" mean

    What exactly does static variables and methods? What are they for?
    I know "final" means once you set it that's it..but what does static mean?

    There is also a static block use for initialising static variables.
    If you look in c:\j2sdk1.4.???\src.zip you will find the source to the libraries.
    from com/sun/image/codec/jpeg/JPEGTable
    public class JPEGQTable {
         /** The number of coefficients in a DCT block */
         private static final byte QTABLESIZE = 64;
          * This is the sample luminance quantization table given in the
          * JPEG spec section K.1, expressed in zigzag order. The spec says
          * that the values given produce "good" quality, and when divided
          * by 2, "very good" quality.
         public static final JPEGQTable StdLuminance = new JPEGQTable();
         static {
              int [] lumVals = {
                   16,   11,  12,  14,  12,  10,  16,  14,

  • What exactly does 'throw' mean

    I was looking over stuff on exceptions and I was wondering, exactly what does 'throw', (as in 'throwable' etc.) mean with respect to the java language?
    Is it so obvious that no-one ever bothered to give the word a definition? I cannot find a description of what it is anywhere.

    OK guys thanks for the input.
    jmccon and YoGee
    I wonder why didn't I spot the glossary :o)
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/information/glossary.html
    throws
    A Java(TM) programming language keyword used in method declarations that specify which exceptions are not handled within the method but rather passed to the next higher level of the program.
    Pete_The_Hat
    I like your suggested description ("i guess the naming came from "my program keeps throwing errors",... "),
    but the essential thing I think is, it's throwing it to 'the next higher level of the program'.
    I find it very annoying when I see something refered to in terms of itself
    (as in everything I had read).
    Sort of recusive description I suppose.
    Like...throw
    A Java(TM) programming language keyword that allows the user to throw an exception or any class that implements the "throwable" interface.
    Thanks

  • What exactly does deauthorise mean?

    After changing a number of computers over the years (like you do) my iTunes now says ive used my 5 up and need to de-authorise one.
    Obviously I cant de-authorise those I've sold on, so what happens next?
    If I de-authorise this new MacBook Air will I have problems with anything in the future regarding downloads, etc.
    Thanks
    Steve.

    OK, ignore me. I've since seen threads on it, followed the links and solved it.
    Didn't mean to waste anybodies time,
    Steve.

  • Startup Disk Full. What exactly does this mean and what can I do about it?

    I was downloading some TV shows from the itunes store when my computer informed me that my startup disk was almost full and iTunes informed me that there was an error with the downloading because my disk was full. I assume this means that the hard drive memory is full, but I don't know if there is anything more specific I should know. We've had this computer for several years and recently updated to Snow Leopard and iLife 09. I have a lot of music and pictures, and I would rather not have to delete a lot of them to free up more memory space. Are there other things I can do to clear memory space or add more?

    Hi
    +"Are there other things I can do to clear memory space or add more?"+
    Yes. Either replace the internal drive with a much larger one or purchase an externally attached drive (USB or Firewire or both) and transfer all your pictures and movies onto that instead. Either way will involve an outlay of some sort? Another way would be to start backing up less important photos, music and movies onto CD or better still DVD. You do have a built-in DVD Burner of some description. You could use it as that is primarily one of the reasons it's there for. Once you've backed up desired data start deleting it from the internal drive.
    It's important to leave some free space on the drive that contains the Operating System. Not doing so will invariably cause potentially major problems in terms of performance and the proper running of your computer. Think of it this way. If you were to constantly stuff yourself full of food would you be able to function properly or as well as you normally do? Not a great analogy but should give you enough of an idea?

  • Arsenic free glass in laptops?  What exactly does it mean?

    Apple announces that its laptops use arsenic free glass.
    What is the difference in comparison with the other, conventional glass?
    That is, what +amount of arsenic (per computer)+ is eliminated in Apple laptops compared to laptops built with the conventional glass containing arsenic?
    OliviaPS

    You can find additional information in this previous thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1454622&tstart=45
    The issue probably isn't so much the amount of arsenic that might be contained in a single screen (though when factored over millions of displays it's not insignificant) but more the use, or in this case elimination of use, of arsenic in the manufacturing process and hence the elimination of thousands of pounds of arsenic-inclusive industrial waste.
