Hi there!
See this KB:
KB14179 How to restore the Speed Dial List
For your contacts, simply use the same process, but substitute the Contacts database as the source of restore.
Good luck and let us know!

A few questions on setting partitioning the hardrive.

Hello,
I am reinstalling Arch because I want to make the jump from i686 to Arch64. I really want this to be the last time I reinstall an OS on this laptop, so I have a few questions on the most efficient way to set up the partitions.
1) Is it safer to have a seperate boot partition? I really don't mind setting aside 100MB or so for boot, but I keep hearing you really don't have to do that with Arch anymore.
2) How does optimization work? Are partitions that are created higher on the list faster to access? What I'm looking for is a really fast computer while in use. I don't care about boot time very much, and my swap drive is barely used. Would this be a good set up for what I'm looking for?
SDA1 Root
SDA2 VAR
SDA3 Home
SDA4 Swap
SDA5 Boot
3) Is ext4 a good idea? I really like the speed and all that, but it's still in development, right? When it's finished, would I be able to update the filesystems or once I make them are they always stuck in their current state? I was thinking ext2 for boot then ext4 for everything else.

I'm not too sure on that one as i have never tried it but it might be possible to boot from your live cd, backup your /var partition reformat it then copy the data back on to it but don't quote me on that.
I don't think you will notice any difference regarding which order you mount your partition's, I have been through a bunch of different partition setup's and have not noticed any speed difference between them only between different filesystem's
I have the same partition setup as your first post minus the boot partition
/dev/sda1 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1
/dev/sda2 /var reiserfs defaults,noatime 0 1
/dev/sda3 /home ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1
/dev/sda4 swap swap defaults 0 0

Few Questions on the Creative Cloud

I have read that the Creative Cloud Connection will be released within the next few weeks which is great. I have a few questions about file uploading and the Creative Cloud Connection program.
I have a folder which I will upload. The contents of that folder will be updated periodically locally. I want to the files in that folder to stay up to date between my desktop and laptop. Will the Creative Cloud Connection program be able to do that?
If a file is changed that is already in the cloud will the program recognize the change and keep the cloud up-to-date?
I guess a little more information about exactly what the Creative Cloud Connection program will do would be nice.
On the topic of storage will I be able to upgrade from the standard 20 gb of storage that is available when/if needed? And how much will that be?
One other question:
When will Lightroom 4 be available via CC and why is it not available since it has been released?

Creative Cloud Connection will keep files between your desktop and the website in sync. You will be able to add, edit and delete files from either end and see the changes reflected in both.
To see the the Creative Cloud Connection in action you can watch this video from Adobe evangelist Paul Trani http://tv.adobe.com/watch/adobe-creative-suite-6-creative-cloud-launch-week/adobe-creative -cloud-tour-/.
There will be a way to get more than 20 GB of storage. The Adobe Creative Cloud FAQ http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html has a question and answer about this near the bottom:
Can I buy additional Creative Cloud storage?
Additional storage will be available for purchase later in 2012. If you have reached your storage limit, contact Adobe Customer Service.
Lightroom 4 will be available in a few weeks. Jeff Veen has also tweeted this https://twitter.com/#!/veen/status/200810541550288896. More from Jeff on what is coming to the Adobe Creative Cloud here in his Adobe blog http://blogs.adobe.com/creativecloud/coming-soon-to-creative-cloud/.

A few questions about the Zen Mi

I'm looking into the Zen Micro 5GB, and I have a few questions that I couldn't find on the sight or aren't completely sure of. Sorry if I'm just blind and didn't see them, but I figured you guys could help.
) How do you charge the battery? I'm assuming its with some sort of adapter, and if so, is it included with the player?
2) It says Windows 98SE is compatible, so does this mean regular Windows 98 won't work at all? I'm currently using W98 but will probably be upgrading soon so it chouldn't be too much of a problem, but if W98 is supported I could order it sooner.
3) Will it work in tandem with a cassette adapter for a car? A cassette adapter isn't on the accessories page, but will one I already own work just fine?
Those are all I can think of right now, thanks in advance for your help, and feel free to leave any comments about the player that any of you have.

the headphone jack problem is not really fixed. If you rather not have it happen to early, i would suggest you take really good care of your ZM's headphone jack. Just take good care of it. But the headphone jack problem may occur at any point, i dunno why. it is very strange, some owners are lucky that the problem will occur in 6-2 months or maybe not at all for now. There are some owners that are unlucky that the problem may occurred like 2 weeks to couople months. I am currently trying to take really good care of my ZM after all the great lessons i learned from my previous mp3 players.
the headphone jack problem isn't fix, so be cautious a bit.

Owners of the 80GB iPod classic, I have a few questions

Ok, so I got my 80GB black iPod classic today and have a few questions, one of these I will need you to check something on your classic.
1: Can you get the digital booklets from the albums purchased on the store on your classic?
2: Is it normal for the hard disk to make that noise when it's spooling?
3: I've noticed this, is there a slight delay switching to the "iPod" screen from the screen before it? I need some one to check this.

All hard disks make a bit of noise. The Classic uses a memory cache to allow it to stop the hard disk and thus save power. When you switch screens, the delay is due to the hard disk spinning up and/or searching for the next thing to display. In short, it's the price we have to play for 80/160Gb of space.

New to the Passport... A few questions to be answered please...

Coming from a Z30 which was with Telus. The phone was great but with Telus had nothing but problems.
Told my company that I wanted to go back with Rogers so at the same time I decided to make the jump to a Passport.
Just a few questions on the differences between the Z30 and the Passport...
#1- I noticed that if I push the button on the top of the Passport (top right) when the "home screen #1" comes on, the time and date plus my screen name and additional are displayed. Why is my screen name and additional info slightly offset to the left and not centered below the date and time?
#2- Once the screen display fades out, if I then swipe my finger across it, a new version of the "home screen" (call it home screen #2) appears with a different time and date arrangement and with no screen name and additional info. Is this normal?
#3- Am I correct to assume that once you swipe the display back on (on home screen #2) no icons show up and you must swipe it again to get to the icons. On the Z30 the initial home screen had the icons on it. So is this normal for the Passport?
#4- Finally I find that "home screen" pretty boring with its gray shade. Can I load up a background picture to it like on the Z30? If yes how do I do it?
Thanks,
Mike

1. I assume you are talking about lock screen message. It is what it is.
2 & 3. You are referring again to the lock screen, and lock screen notifications.
When you swipe up and go to the home screen, the default setting is wallpaper with no icons. There is now a setting to disable this in Display settings.
4. You can set your own wallpaper. That hasn't changed.

Few questions about the iMac I ordered.

Hi,
I ordered an 400MHZ,128MB,DVD-ROM,13GB,OS9,2FW,2USB slotloading iMac and while I wait for it I want to ask a few questions.
1. Is there anyway to connect anything serial to it? I have alot of other Apple stuff like my other older Macs and Newton that I want to connect to it.
2. Will Tiger run smoothly with 512MB? How about 256MB?
3. Can I upgrade the processor? Like to a 500MHZ or better a GHZ?
4. I have disks from my previous iMac (Slot Loading) will they work with this one?
5. I need firmware updates! Where to get them?
6. No floppy? Can I get an external?
7. How much fater then a 604ev 300MHZ?
8. Can I run a game that requires a 1 GHZ processor on my iMac? This may sound like a silly question but I really never tried it!
9. Is it noisy like my PowerMac 8600/300?
10. Can I upgrade it to OS 9.2.2 without MacOShelper?
11. It has OS 9.0.4 can I just install OS 9.2.2 without the need of installing OS 9.1,OS 9.2.1?
12. Is the HDD upgradable? To what?
13. VRAM is going to be a problem! Can I upgrade it?
14. Can I connect a VGA or APPLE monitor to it for an extra display?
15. Will the built in monitor support 800x600,1024x768 resolution?
16. Can I change the color of it?
17. Max RAM?
18. DVD-RW compatible?
19. Internal floppy compatible?
20. CD-RW compatible?
Thanks all You dont need to answer them all just answer as many as you can please!

1) you can get serial to USb adaptors. How well they work I can't vouch for. If its something that is replaceable by a newer version, its often cheaper to do so.
2) 256 megs is about the minimum it will run with. 512 would be much better, 1 gig of ram would be best. see ramseeker.com and crucial.com
3) fastmac.com is the only place I know of that does any upgrades on slot loaders anymore. its expensive, and not worth it. If you wanted a faster machine, you should have bought one frankly. a used eMac could be gotten cheap and be better in every way.
4) depends. if they are form the same generation, then yes. If not, then it could be questionable.
5) firmware updates are easily accesible from apples software download section of their support page. you need firmware update 4.1.9 for a slot loader, and it must be installed before installing OS X.
6) Do you really need a floppy? Cripes, get a USB keychain drive. They are like 20 bucks and will work on any machine. Hold way more than a floppy to and are smaller. If you really need them, then yes, floppy drives are available externally.
7) hard to quantify exactly how much faster, but a G3 is a much better chip than the 604 from all accounts I've read. you might find benchmarks somewhere like xlr8yourmac.com
8) Doubtful you can run a game where you don't meet the minimum specs. Not just because of the processor speed, but some require G4's (G3's never made it that fast), or better graphics cards than are in that iMac.
9) a slot loader is essentially silent when sleeping. There's no fan to make a lot of noise. S light hum form the CRT and the hard drive is all the noise there will be. Its one of the quietest machines ever made by anyone.
10) I don't even know what macoshelper is, but upgrading to 9.2 is a pretty painless procedure and doesn't require anything other than the downloaded upgrade.
11) you need 9.1 before going to 9.2 unless you have a full retail install of 9.2.
12) hard drive i upgradeable to 137 gigs. 7200 rpm drives are fine. external drives have no limit on them.
13) vram is not upgradeable.
14) that model iMac has a vga port on the back of it, but its for mirroring only, not extended desktop.
15) yes, the monitor supports both those resolutions.
16) not easily. you'd have to find an empty case and swap out parts, which means exposing some of the stuff in the CRT, which you do NOT want to mess with unless you know what you are doing.
17) max ram is two 512 meg chips for 1 gig.
18) DVD-RW's should work, but any burned media can be dodgy. Note this is for reading only. There's no burner. You could upgrade to a burner, but it would be sssssllllllooooooowwwwwwww.
19) internal floppy is not possible.
20) cd-rw will read fine, but again, it doesn't have a burner on it. You could upgrade internal or external.

Few questions about buying an iPhone in the US for European use

We're currently in NY and are considering buying an iPhone because it's way cheaper here than in Belgium.
Still we have a few questions, hope we can get some answers
- You should unlock your iPhone, should we ask for that right away in the Apple store ?
- Doest unlocking cost any money, if yes, how much ?
- What happens to your warranty, can you go to a Belgian Apple store if something happens to your iPhone ?
- Can customs make any problems if you get one or more iPhones unboxed in your baggage ?
Anyone who has done this and wants to share their experience, any other things we have to know ?
Thanks in advance!

Warranty will be valid only in the US. You will have to return the iPhone
personally or via friend/relative. Apple will not accept international
shipments for evaluation nor will Apple ship out of the country after
repair/replacement. You cannot have your US purchased iPhone serviced
or replaced in the US.
LTE/4G on an iPhone purchased in the US will not work outside of North America.
Tax, import duty, customs fees are best discussed with the appropriate governmental
entities in Belgium.
Be sure to ask in the Apple store for an unlocked iPhone - you will pay full retail price
plus applicable taxes. There is no charge to get the iPhone unlocked.

A few questions about the Apple TV

Hi guys. I'm planning on getting an Apple TV but have a few questions. Before I start asking, I gotta mention that my internet connection is limited to 25GB.
1) I'll be using my Apple TV to stream music and movies off my PC running iTunes. Both will be on the same wifi network. Will it use my data to stream?
2) will it use my data when I'm using AirPlay to mirror my iPad to my Apple TV?
3) I have all my music in the cloud. If I'm playing music off the cloud and not streaming from my PC, it will use my data right? But does it save my music on its internal storage so I can listen to them later? Without internet? Or does it download songs every time I play them?
4) Does my photo stream get saved on its internal storage?
5) I'll have it hooked up to a 1080p tv. When watching YouTube on it, can I set the YouTube videos to play in 360p? Or 480p? Even though my tv is 1080p?
Pretty long, I know. Thanks :)

Thanks a lot for the help. So I can stream movies and music from my PC to my Apple TV without using data correct? And airplay mirroring doesn't use wifi either? Brilliant.
So whenever I turn on my Apple TV, it re downloads my photo stream? Every single time?
So it doesn't play YouTube videos at 360p. Alright. What if I'm playing a 360p YouTube video on my iphone and then mirror it to my Apple TV? Does it automatically load a 1080p version of that video or does it just play the 360p video?

A few questions on the database orginization

Hi. I just got Elements 11 (Windows 8) this week end, and I have a few questions about the Catalogue in the Organizer.
I spent a few hours tagging people, organizing categories, and so on. After that, I did a backup of the catalogue, which from my understanding includes every pictures.
However, I am usually the kind of guy who does a backup of the "Pictures" folder manually every month. My question is, are the people and tags I added in the Organizer embedded in the pictures, or do I really need to backup and restore the catalog to keep everything I have tagged? If I reinstall Elements 11 and add the pictures manually as I would the first time, will all the info still be there?
Thank you!

However, I am usually the kind of guy who does a backup of the "Pictures" folder manually every month.
While that's better than nothing, I hope you will be the kind of guy who decides to be even more safe, and you choose to make backing up your photos an automatic process, that doesn't depend on you remembering and having the time to do so. THere are many programs out there that will automatically back up your photos and any other important files on a regular basis, without human interaction. This is MUCH safer than manual backups.
My question is, are the people and tags I added in the Organizer embedded in the pictures
By default, NO this does not happen. You can manually make it happen via the command File->Write Tags...
But when you choose to do this manually, please understand that not every piece of metadata is written to the files. Some things that are not written to the files are album membership, virtual copies and stacks, and probably other things that I can't remember right now. Thus, you need to make sure you have a recent backup of your catalog file — because ALL of your metadata is in the catalog file, and thus you need to make a backup of it.
or do I really need to backup and restore the catalog to keep everything I have tagged?
Yes, you really need to make a backup of your catalog file. Really.
If I reinstall Elements 11 and add the pictures manually as I would the first time, will all the info still be there?
This depends on how successful you were at manually (geez, I hate the thought of depending on manual operations) writing the metadata to the photos. If you missed some photos, the metadata is gone. And as I mentioned, not all metadata will be written to the files anyway. So, I would not depend on this method as a way to make a full backup. It is, at best, a partial backup.

A Few Questions About The GTX 580 Twin Frozr/OC in SLI

Hi everyone!
I have a few questions if you guys don't mind answering them, first thing though to make it clear this system is not built yet but the build will start soon.
My first question is whether or not this PSU is capable of running two GTX 580 Twin Frozr/OC in SLI:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139015&Tpk=AX850
+3.3V@25A, +5V@25A, +12V1@70A, [email protected], +5VSB@3A
My second question is whether or not the GTX 580 Twin Frozr/OC will come with a SLI bridge connector long enough to accomplish a connection over this distance:
If not where can I buy a bridge capable of accomplishing this?, the reason for this distance is to keep the bottom card from pushing air onto the top one.
The above is a normal ATX form factor motherboard or to be more specific a ASRock P67 EXTREME6.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157231

Quote
EDIT-
I'm looking at the picture right now and it looks like the bridge that comes with the motherboard is not long enough, any suggestions on where to buy one?
nope no idea, ask your reseller
Quote
I didn't mean the Watts I mean the Amps, from other threads in this board it seems that some PSU's aren't up to the task of supplying the card with enough Amps, I was wondering if that PSU could supply enough for both.
Well you can figure from the graph
With one VGA it drains total 447W, where single 580GTX need 40A-42A,
adding second the same VGA to the system drains total 719W
So 719-447=272W, 272W/12=23A, 42A+23A=65A
or simple 719/12=60A
Quote
BTW, I would also like to say I'm currently using a MSI board in my current build and I love it!

A few questions before I buy the 13" air.

I need to buy a laptop within the next week so I have a few questions about the air.
Does the 13inch i5 version support hyperthreading to 4 cores and turbo boost?
Is the difference in performance between the i5 and i7 worth it?
Would the air be good enough to use word/PowerPoint with a lot of tabs open in chrome with no lag? (School laptop)
Am I better off getting a 13inch BBP? Or is the air the same performance wise? (I don't need the DVD drive or ethernet)

All the intel chips have the turbo boost. No MacBook Airs have quad core chips. They are only duo core. You need the pro book for the quad cores. As a school laptop the air is great because of the SSD. It opens quickly after moving while studying here and there. You can buy a pro book then eventually put a SSD in it if that is what you are looking for. But because apple makes all of their parts and software, you do not need as big of a cpu as you would need on a PC.

Few questions regarding the "Update CMS" button

Hello,
Few questions regarding the "Update CMS" button:
1. When I create new product at the SLD I see it at the add SC table even if I don't click the "Update CMS" button first. If so, when will I use this option?
2. When I do click the "Update CMS" button it takes it between 30-40 minutes to finish the update. During this time frame the whole development portal (it is sitting on the same WAS as the NWDI) becomes extremely slow. Is this normal response time or do I have a certain performance problem with my server?
Thank you in advance,
Roy

Yes, it does.
2. Does it have a Video camera or just a Camera? (Can i add a video camera?)
It does not have video at this time. This month a software update is coming out so we'll see what becomes available after that.
3. Does Safari and Wi-fi cost anything per month etc? (With prepaid)
WiFi is free unless the WiFi provider charges for access.
4. Is the Call quality good? The Music player good? Applications good?
Yes.
5. Is an iPhone good to use in Australia? Is its internet slow? Bad call quality?
The iPhone is not currently available in Australia and the TOU of these forums do not allow the discussion of hacked phones. If you buy a hacked phone, there is no guarantee that the phone will work properly and you will not get any support from Apple or these forums.

I have few questions to ask about the Expert Series and Valet Series

Hello.
I have few questions to ask about the Expert Series and Valet Series.
1. I see there aren't any print server/bridge/access point for these two new series. Do I have to use previous ones? Or the new ones are in planned in near future?
2. Do I "HAVE TO USE CONNECT SOFTWARE"? Can I just use web interface to do every setting that these routers features?
3. Does expert series routers support guest network and parental control?
4. When I look into informations of these router, some router doesn't give information about backward compatible to older standards. Do I have to consider that as they are backward compatible with older standards?
Ok, that's all for now.
If I need to ask more questions I will do that in this thread as reply

With the New Expert or the Valet Series Router, you still can use the Print Server / Bridge and Access Points.
Well with the Expert and Valet Series router, you have an option to User Cisco Connect Software or you can User Web Interface of the Router. But with the Cisco Connect Software you have an Advantage of creating a Guest Account and using Parental Control , which is not available using the Web Interface.
These both the routers are backward compatible and they can connect to your G Series Product.
