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 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 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 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 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.
cheers

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 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.

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)...

Tricky problem: TM makes only one backup and then can't find disk anymore

I had a problem with TM backups and erased the whole TC, because that solved a problem I had in the past.
My iMac is connected via Ethernet. My notebooks via WLAN. BUT THIS PROBLEM OCCURS ON MY IMAC ONLY.
Then:
1) I defined new accounts.
2) Next backups worked like perfect.
3) The next back up not any more: Error message: "TM could not complete backup. The backup disk is not available"
4) After resting the TC or rebooting the iMac I can make a backup, but the next fails again. The disk isn't visible in the TM preferences.
5) Logs of the successful backup are:

Why only one multi-touch gesture? (Suggestions for more)

The only multi-touch gesture is for rotating the screen. In having my nano for a week I've found it time consuming to get to where I want in the menus a lot of the time. A few more multi-touch gestures could solve this problem. I'd suggest one that takes you directly to the main home screen and a second that is the equivalent of hitting the "Now Playing" icon. They could be two finger swipe left for home and two finger swipe right for now playing.

Hello Dustin,
Perhaps you should leave this as feedback to Apple through this link.

Two 2TB internal drives in tandem for Time Machine; only one backup deletes.

I'm using two 2TB internal drives in tandem for Time Machine and deleted some backups while in Time Machine. They deleted from drive A, but drive B still has the files. Is there a way to delete these? I tried unmounting drive A in Disk Utility but then I can't enter Time Machine.
I love the dual backups, but should I be able to do dual deletes of all backups? I don't see a way to accomplishg this except to force Time Machine to do a backup, then do that again so it switches drives, but that seems a bit convoluted.
If one of you guru types has an answer I'd be most interested.
Thanks.

You can manually deal with this by using the "Browse Other Backup Disks" function which is accessed via holding the opt/alt key and while selecting the TM icon in the menu bar.
You can then delete the instances of the desired files in each backup set.
Not elegant, but I wouldn't expect that this will be done automatically, as there are a lot of permutations of how you use multiple backup sets.
