When I press "sync now", which computer over-writes the sync data?

Does one computer "dominate" the sync process? The home computer? Or the computer you're on when you push sync now?
Is the sync based on whatever machine has the most recent changes? Or does it just merge the data?
For example, if I clear browser history (or delete a bunch of old bookmarks) will that data repopulate when I sync or will it be deleted from the other machine? Does it matter if the machine is the original install of firefox sync or the added device?
Thanks.

Just received a replacement ipad and when I connected it to my computer I followed the prompts exactly like the apple tech said. Problem is, I get to a screen prompt that asks me to restore (which he said to click) and now my screen is frozen.

I just received a replacement iPad and when I connected it to my computer I followed the prompts exactly like the apple tech told me too. When I got to a prompt asking if I wanted to restore the iPad he said to click on it. I did. Now my iPad screen is frozen on the iTunes connect screen and I cannot get out of it. An iPad shows connected in my iTunes folder, but when I run a diagnostic it says no iPad is detected.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Personally, I would call Apple back. However...
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

When i press sync in iTunes my iPhone 4s does not get the my music how do i fix this

when i press sync in iTunes my iPhone 4s does not get the my music how do i fix this

no, and i have spent my entire spring break with a dead iphone 4s, no access to my iphone mail accounts, can't get into my text service app, and can't get into notes. oh yeah, all of my music is gone. thanks a bunch for this wonderful upgrade.
i am never upgrading again until i am sure all the bugs are out. this is a waste of my time and what's the use of having a cellphone if it only stays charged for two hours?
one of the apple forums said that iox is "expanvie" and gave us tips on how to lengthen battery life. i was already doing all that stuff. so it seemed to me that apple was just taking the stand that ios is just more "expansive." this is lipservice hogwash. if that is the case, then we need to get new phones with batteries strong enough to accommodate running these power apps and updates.
my iphone makes a **** good coaster though. right now i am just ready to start sending smoke signals!

My iPad 3 running iOS 8.1 will not upgrade to 8.3. I have downloaded 8.3 but when I press install now and choose agree nothing happens for hours. Any help?

You are in the wrong discussion forum, but ok:
-- You say it is running 8.1 now, but your profile says 6.1.3, plse update your profile.
-- Did you download in Mac iTunes? or directly in the iPhone?
if in Mac iTunes: check the following Finder location: Startupdisk->Homefolder (yourname)->Library->iTunes->iPadSoftwareUpdates : the downloaded file should be there and be complete the extension should be .ipsw, if it is not there or not complete you should download again.
if in the iPhone: notice that the install phase and verifying phase and restarting phase need (good) internet connection.

You can only purchase content from your own country's store - if your account is not based in the UK (and you are not in the UK) then you won't be able to buy content from there. Is the album available on other music download purchase sites in your country ? You could try contacting Apple to say that you want it adding to your store, but ultimately it's the distributor/record company that will have to grant Apple a license to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

If I sync apps with migration assistant, will it over-write the newer iLife apps on my new MacBook Pro?

I purchased a new MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion) and connected it to my existing iMac (Lion) to transfer over my user account, music and applications. It did not occur to me that the process might over-write the iLife apps already factory installed on the MBP. I am having trouble checking if that happened, but getting info on both iPhoto and iMovie shows that they are 32-bit applications (Calendar, Contacts and iMessage just show as "applications" without saying if they are 32- or 64-bit).
What version numbers should all those iLife apps be? If I have over-written them, what would I have to do to restore the factory installed versions at this point since the MBP does not come with install disks anymore?

MacJack: I did the migration when started up the computer for the first time.
As for suggestion from Mende1, it sounds like a great idea, but if I did over-write what was already there, will the App Store charge me for the apps if I did not buy them through the App Store (since they came pre-installed on the MBP)? If so, I would prefer to take the MBP to an Apple store with the receipt and offer an explanation.
Would knowing the version numbers of the software I now have installed be enough information to know if they were the versions that came pre-installed on the MBP under Mountain Lion?

HT1688 My iphone keeps blanking out and then when I press then home button it tells me the battery is dead. it has happened to me at 30%, but today it was at 71%, is there a fix for this?

My iphone keeps blanking out and then when I press then home button it tells me the battery is dead. it has happened to me at 30%, but today it was at 71%, is there a fix for this?

This is often due to faulty battery. Make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple Store for free quick battery diagnostic testing.

I switched my computer over to the OS X Mavericks and I can't find any of my pictures... Does anyone know how to get them back?

I switched my computer over to the OS X Mavericks and I cant find any of my stuff...can anyone help me PLEASE, I AM DESPERATE

Backing up the iPhone to the computer won't transfer the music to it; to do that, you need to use the Transfer Purchases function. If you're looking for music already on the computer, search it for files with an extension of mp3, m4a, or m4p.

I have exactly the same problem, happy a few days ago. Did you find a solution?

Find the Next available date which is not necessarily the Maximum Date

Morning folks!
I am trying to find the next scheduled appointment date (Including any day after today) for a patient which may not be the maximum date for that person. I am trying to do this in Oracle Forms. My Query is working in SQL*Plus but is not working in Forms.
FUNCTION get_next_sched_date(P_PATIENT_ID in varchar2) RETURN DATE IS
v_next_scheduled_date   patient_visit.target_date%TYPE;
BEGIN
select next_target_date into v_next_scheduled_date
from   ( select v.*, max(target_date) over (partition by patient_id) max_target_date,
                       lead(target_date) over (partition by patient_id order by target_date) next_target_date
           from   patient_visit v)
where patient_id = P_PATIENT_ID
and    next_target_date >= SYSDATE
and    max_target_date > next_target_date;
return( v_next_scheduled_date );
EXCEPTION
   when NO_DATA_FOUND then
     return(NULL);
When I compile this in Oracle Forms, it gives me an Error.Encountered the symbol "(" when expecting one of the following: ,from.
I also noticed that Oracle Forms is not liking keywords such as LAG and LEAD. I am working on Oracle Forms 9i.
Any idea what I am doing wrong here? Thanks for listening to my Monday harping. :-)

Thanks.
For now, I have another simpler solution. I was just curious if the first way would have worked.
select MIN(target_date) into v_next_scheduled_date from patient_visit v1
where patient_id = P_PATIENT_ID
and    target_date >= SYSDATE
and    target_date <= (select MAX(target_date) from patient_visit v2
                       where v2.patient_id = v1.patient_id);Edited by: Roxyrollers on Aug 27, 2012 9:16 AM

Can't get the upgrade to over-write the older version

i have tried to upgrade firefox but the older version keeps coming up. How do i get the newest version to over-write the older - according to my info i am using 25.0.1 which seems to be the newest version but i have some website saying i am using an older version. I have windows vista 2007

Also, the "FBSMTWB" that appears in your current user agent string (you'll see it in about:config when you venture in there) is associated with an extension that many people find annoying -- unfortunately I can't recall which one it was.
If you haven't reviewed your extensions for a while, you might want to see whether any deserve to be disabled or removed, particularly if they are nonessential or unrecognized. To open the Add-ons page, either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions.
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Hope that prevents your user agent from being changed back to that old version.

Over write the existing master data with new master data.

hi friends,
we have 2 sources for master data text like source A and source B to load the master data text and as per requirement we have to stop load from source A. But if you check the master data target still the old records are existed (from Source A), if i try to delete those records as you know it is not allowing...and more over if we want to delet the mastr data we have delete the transaction data.
In Mycase i don't want to delet the Transaction data and i need to over write the existing master data i.e Request A with Rquest B.
Is there any solution for this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Sruthi.

For overwriting the text from source B you have to have transformations from source B to your text datasource of your characteristic. Then you map the text coming from source B to the text for the characteristic.
If it comes form source B the key for that characteristic with text, it will overwrite the text existed for that characteristic to the same key.
For example you have 0employee and have a text datasource in source A which has employee_id and employee_name. In the Bw you have mapped in your transfer rules the employee_id to the employee_id and the employee_name to the employee_name. So for example you have extracted from source A the record:
employee_id   employee_name
0001               xpto
If you have a same datasource of text coming from source B, if you do the same mapping in transfer rules in BW coming from source B, and you bring for example the record:
employee_id   employee_name
0001               zzzz
You'll overwrite the old value of xpto to the new value zzzz

When I press "sync now", which computer over-writes the sync data?
