Why only one backup being made?

I just noticed that there is only one backup listed in iTunes. Is it intended to only preserve the most recent?
If so, did the developers completely miss the possibility of "I didn't notice I lost that data until after the daily backup sync, now it's irretrievable"
What's the story here?

That a good idea in theory, but not know all the details of how the backup works, I would be a little relucant. For instance, iTunes knows you last backup was Tuesday @ 1730. You replace the backed up copy from Tuesday with one from Monday. Now iTunes does not see the last (and only) backup that it was aware of, but instead sees a different backup. iTunes may see this as some sort of corruption.
I strongly suspect that iTunes makes a notation in one of the iTunes library files when the last backup was made. If this information differs from the backed up files, iTunes would view the backup as being corrupt.
I would just be a little reluctant to try this, given that you may lose a lot of data and settings.

Why only one backup?

Why does itunes only store one backup of my iphone? I've been playing around with backups and restores using itunes and I just can't understand why apple only keeps one backup point.
Seems dangerous if that one backup becomes corrupted.

...also, as a side note, since upgrading to 2.0.1 I did a test restore and it's still running. Started over two hours ago. Previous test restores took 15-20 minutes, I wonder why it changed it 2.0.1. I guess it's also possible my backup is in someway or somehow "bad" and its not going to error until the very end. I wont know till it finishes completely.

Why only one recent backup to restore from?

I backup up my iPhone every day. In iTunes>Preferences>Devices, why do I only see today's backup and a backup from three months ago?

Only one backup is kept by itunes(this backup is overwritten each time you sync), except for restore backups, which are not overwritten & are kept by time & date stamp. The reason you don't see any other backups listed is because you most likely have never restored your phone. If you performed a sync before you restored from backup, your backup was overwritten & that's why your info was not replaced.
If you backup your computer, you can extract your backup from that computer backup, replace the one on your computer with this & restore from that backup. DO NOT SYNC before restoring from this backup. You will be given the option to create a backup before you restore, decline.

180 GB of my 639-GB Macintosh hard drive is used. 320 GB of my 498-GB Tie Capsule is used. Only one backup ("now") exists for the Time Capsule, which can no longer backup because of "insufficient space". How come? What is wrong?"

Thank you William for your most helpful response. I shall deal first with your three comments:
Not being tech savvy, I would not have been able to make that call myself but it sure makes sense.
I have updated my profiles as you suggest. Excellent tip.
This guidance is good. Being new to Apple Support Communities, I did not find the field a labeling and guidance to be clear, a point you make. Now I know, I shall do as you say and will use the small slim box as a header to the full message/question, which will place in the larger box below.
Secondly, I come to your question: Did anything change on your Mac recently, such as replacing the disk or main logic board?
The answer is “yes”. Two events have happened both of which concerned the Time Capsule:
The telephone company, with which I have access to the Internet and I have my email account, installed a new modum. After the technician left I had to try and get the Time Capsule and WiFi working again which ended with my having to call Apple for technical assistance. The Apple technician walked me through a number of procedural steps which effectively re-set up the Time Capsule.
Access to the Internet failed and the telephone company reset the modum. I had to call Apple again. This time the technician did not reset the Time Capsule but walked me through a number of steps tha included renaming the “site” (not the Time Capsule).
Another piece of information that may be relevant is that the MacBook Pro uses the Time Capsule for backup. Everything appears to be in order. When I enter the Time Capsule for this laptop I have backups going back for a long time.
Also, I do a weekly backup of the two computers onto another external hard drive using the Time Machine software. So I have another backup of both computers.

Why only one client ???

Why only one client is possible for one server in case of BW ?? And why it is not the case in R/3???

Hi,
have a look at sap help:

HT2905 This still does not discuss why these dupicates keep being made. It would be really, really nice if Apple were to look at their code and fix the problem in the first place. I have to go through my library every other week to remove the duplicates.

This also applies to iTunes for Windows. I have been using iTunes since 2007. In every version that I have used, random tracks get duplicated for no reason. I will usually go a month or two at time before I touch my library. It doesn't take much to understand that have an entire library of over 10 gigabytes being duplicated several times will eat up the small hard drive on a Macbook Pro. Why has Apple only come up with the solution to have their customers delete the duplicates rather than change the iTunes coding to preven the duplications in the first place?

After my PC crashed and I moved my iTunes library to a new laptop (with a lot of technical help) it appeared that almost all my songs had been duplicated. However, the music could only be found under one fo the titles that showed. The one without the music has an ! inside a circle in front of it. If I try to play any of these on my laptop I get an error message saying the song can't be found. When I synched to my iPod I found that many of my songs were not on the iPod. It turned out that durring synching my iPod picked only one version of each song and if it picked up the one with the ! it didn't pick up the title or the actual song - so it appeared I had lost the song. If I go back into my iTunes library and delete the songs with the ! and then resynch, it will pick up all the tunes. The problem is I have several thousand songs in my library - it would sure be nice if there was an automatic way to delete all the songs with the !.

Why only one public class in a source file?

why we have to write only one public class in a source file?

PhHein wrote:
Because the JLS says so.It does?
From section 7.6 of the JLS (third edition):
When packages are stored in a file system (§7.2.1), the host system may choose to enforce the restriction that it is a compile-time error if a type is not found in a file under a name composed of the type name plus an extension (such as .java or .jav) if either of the following is true:* The type is referred to by code in other compilation units of the package in which the type is declared.
* The type is declared public (and therefore is potentially accessible from code in other packages).
This restriction implies that there must be at most one such type per compilation unit. This restriction makes it easy for a compiler for the Java programming language or an implementation of the Java virtual machine to find a named class within a package; for example, the source code for a public type wet.sprocket.Toad would be found in a file Toad.java in the directory wet/sprocket, and the corresponding object code would be found in the file Toad.class in the same directory.

To my mind, it's strongly recommending, rather than mandating, this practice. All academic of course, merely shifting the answer from "Because the JLS says so" to "Because pretty much all Java compilers say so". I don't know of any that don't enforce this, but of course, that doesn't mean they don't exist

Why only one leading ledger?

Hi
I am aware that in new GL you can have only one leading ledger. you can have as many non leading ledgers. Only leading ledger values flows to CO.
what can be the possible reasons for the restriction of "only one leading ledger"???
thank you in advance
Regards
Vedavatee

Dear expert
    In New G/L, there is one leading ledger for each client that is valid for all company codes
    You can define only one ledger as the leading ledger u2013 SAP provides the leading ledger u201C0Lu201D
    The leading ledger is integrated with all subsidiary ledgers
    Only the values from the leading ledger are sent to CO
    The leading area in Asset Accounting (depreciation area 01) must be posted to the leading ledger
    Leading ledger uses the (additional) local currencies assigned to the company code
    Leading ledger uses the GL Total Table: FAGLFLEXT
In each company code, the settings made for the following parameters are automatically applied to the leading ledger:
    Currencies
    Fiscal Year Variant
    Posting Period Variant

Why only one public class in one file

why does java allows only one public class in one file?
Why can not we have two or more public classes in file?
Thank u.

Note, you can have multiple inner classes.
e.g.
public class A {
    public static class B {   }
    public class C {   }
    private class D {   }
}

Why only one channel of sound in sequences? Please someone try this quest

When I add a sequence to a sequence, I have only one channel of sound but, when I open that sequence I have 2 channels of sound.
Is it a sequence setting and if it is I see:
outputs 2
downmix 0
grouping: Stereo selected
Dual mono not selected.
I swith these around a bit but get no change.
My raw footage say "2 Mono" from my Sony DSR PD-150 at 16 bit, 48 khz.
I usuall use one channel for camera sound and 2nd channel for mic.

the number of audio channels that your nested sequence will contain is the same as the number of audio outputs you have selected for that sequence ...
for example, if you create a sequence with 10 tracks of audio, but have only set the sequence to have 2 audio outputs, then when you nest that sequence the nest will have only 2 tracks of audio ... change the audio outputs to 4, or 6, or 8, or 10 etc regardless of how many tracks you actually use, and the sequence, when nested, will have the same number of audio tracks as the sequence has audio outputs
... ok, so that explains the relationship between audio outputs and the number of tracks of audio that a nested sequence contains
so why are you getting only one channel of sound when you edit it in to another sequence? my guess is that you are only patching 1 channel ... load the source sequence into the viewer (drag and drop), now check in the patch bay area at the left of the timeline window to make sure that your a1 to A1 and a2 to A2 connections are not broken ... and edit it in.

Two events getting trigered even though only one is being raised !

I am creating a workflow for TRIP approval. In Start events I have added following two events :
1. CREATED
2. CHANGED
Whenever a trip gets created or changed both the events get triggered thus two workflows start.
I can customize my workflow for only one event but the issue is why two events are getting triggered ?

Hi AD,
not dealt with TRIP object,
but the CHANGED event, is it created by you thru SWEC?
If yes, check if the entry has OnChange and not Create.
Hope it helps.

Only one entry being returned

Hello,
I'm having some problems accessing a (Open)LDAP directory using JNDI. The relevant code is:
final String base="my.company.com";
final String filter="(uid=*)";
final SearchControls controls=new SearchControls();
NamingEnumeration<SearchResult> results=context.search(base, filter, controls);
+(...)+
This code ALWAYS returns one entry, when there are several available in the directory! I tried playing with the search controls attributes, with no luck. Did any of you experienced this before? Any hint? Thank you very much, cheers,
AP

There is only one speaker, the other one's a mic.

Why only one voting disk showing while vote diskgroup has three disks?

Hi, experts,
OUr diskgroup OCR_VOTE did have three disks, see below:
SQL> select group_number, name, path from v$asm_disk;
GROUP_NUMBER NAME PATH
2 ASMDISK01 ORCL:ASMDISK01
2 ASMDISK02 ORCL:ASMDISK02
2 ASMDISK03 ORCL:ASMDISK03
2 ASMDISK04 ORCL:ASMDISK04
2 ASMDISK05 ORCL:ASMDISK05
2 ASMDISK06 ORCL:ASMDISK06
3 ASMDISK07 ORCL:ASMDISK07
3 ASMDISK08 ORCL:ASMDISK08
3 ASMDISK09 ORCL:ASMDISK09
1 OCR_VOTE01 ORCL:OCR_VOTE01
1 OCR_VOTE02 ORCL:OCR_VOTE02
1 OCR_VOTE03 ORCL:OCR_VOTE03
However only one votedisk exsited:
+ASM1$ crsctl query css votedisk
## STATE File Universal Id File Name Disk group
1. ONLINE 4722e13b38c14fa0bfcce2db1dcb7b84 (ORCL:OCR_VOTE01) [OCR_VOTE]
Located 1 voting disk(s).
How do I have three votedisks?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for response.
I checked asmcmd, and under voting diskgroup, there are two folders:
Y ASMPARAMETERFILE/
Y OCRFILE/
ASMCMD> cd ASMPARAMETERFILE/
ASMPARAMETERFILE UNPROT COARSE FEB 14 2012 Y REGISTRY.253.775250583
ASMCMD> cd ocrfile
OCRFILE UNPROT COARSE NOV 28 01:00:00 Y REGISTRY.255.775250583
our DB spfile per show parameter spfile , it shows it stored at DAT diskgroup instead of vote diskgroup.
So my questions here are:
1). since spfile in database shows:
SQL> show parameter spfile
spfile string +DAT/prd/spfileprd.ora
The spfile under vote diskgroup must be for ASM instance. How do I move that? seems have to bounce asm to move it somewhere else. that will cause some disturbance to the services.
2). is that under OCR_file, the ocr file including voting disks?
Since OCR files are mirrored like this:
ocrcheck
Status of Oracle Cluster Registry is as follows :
ID : 546691893
Device/File Name : +OCR_VOTE
Device/File integrity check succeeded
Device/File Name : +FRA
Device/File integrity check succeeded
Is that means I can delete the one at vote disk and the one on FRA should still serve the purpose?
Thanks again.

Why is one message being repeatedly sent, blocking all other messages?

This is a Thunderbird concern: Three days ago I had a message come and repeat itself numerous times (around 30 times). The same thing occurred yesterday and now has blocked other messages from coming in. I have shut down and restarted the computer twice to no avail. It will tell me, as did this morning, I have 14 messages, but only one came through and it was the same one that has been stuck for two days now.
When I click on Get Mail, nothing happens.
If you can help me correct this, it will be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Logging in to shared drives - why only one user?

I am working with three different macs, all running Leopard. On two of them there are multiple user accounts. Every time I try to log in to the accounts, even though I've typed in the correct username and password, the login successfully completes but logs me in as what I'll call my "standard" login. Why is this? I'd like to be able to login as other users and access their directories.

No one else can only login as one account even though there are multiple accounts on the target machine? Any help? This is annoying. I should be able to login as any user to a remote machine as long as I have the correct id and password (which I do)...
