Can I set up I Cloud and change my mind without losing any data or photos?
I have the Iphone, Ipad2 , and Macbook Pro and want to set up ICloud. I read a post that said, should you decide to NOT use it, you will lose all of your data and photos. Is this true?
I set up an iCloud account and only use it for certain things. I do not use it on my Mac, even though I can, but I have chosen not to do so. I sync bookmarks, reminders, app data and documents (for Pages) but I did not setup an email account nor do I use Photo Stream. You can pick and choose what to want to sync to iCloud.

I have a 60G classic with a non-functioning center select button. Can I set a specific playlist and change settings by hooking up to my PC and then maintain those settings and that playlist once I go remote?
I'm having a little trouble understanding the part about your password having to be reset. Why is that happening??
Let's start with Firefox's settings:
(1) You can configure the password manager feature on this tab:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Security
There is a checkbox to enable/disable the feature.
There also is a "Saved Passwords" button to review and remove any passwords you do not want Firefox to keep.
That tab also has a feature to set a Master Password so that no one can use your saved passwords without knowing the Master Password. You may need to exit Firefox in order for Firefox to ask for that again.
Related articles:
* [[Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox]]
* [[Use a Master Password to protect stored logins and passwords]]
(2) Site-specific permissions
If you want to use the password manager for other sites but NOT a particular site, you can configure that in the Permissions Manager.
In a new tab, type or paste '''about:permissions''' in the address bar and press Enter.
After the page loads, use the search box in the upper left corner to narrow down the list to the site you want to configure. Highlight the site on the left side, and on the right side, choose Block under Store Passwords.
(3) Form autocomplete suggestions
Separate from passwords, Firefox remembers entries you've made into forms (in most cases) and lists the matching ones below the form field in a drop-down.
To clear a suggestion, press the down arrow key to highlight it and press the Delete key.
To turn off this feature, see this article: [[Control whether Firefox automatically fills in forms with your information]].
To review and selectively edit or delete form history entries, you need an add-on. For example, you could try this one: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/form-history-control/ -
Can I use two different devices with different apple ID for backing up data on one machine without losing any data that was backed up with one device earlier?
The link is to a discussion started on 12/18 in the FiOS Internet forum. Here's the link I get now, however it is different than the link I pulled a few hours ago. If this system changes the link again, it may not work.

You can also look for the topic, "frustration and just confused" in the FiOS Internet forum.

Can I delete all of the images in "All Images" without losing any originals?
Can I delete all of the images in "All Images" without losing any original photos? Thank you.
Simply: iPhoto is a database. Like all databases it requires that you manipulat the data via the tools provided and not through backdoors. If you delete matter managed by iPhoto (or for that matter, any database) through some other means then the database will be unaware of the deletions. The database will not reflect the changes and you'll have significant issues going forward with iPhoto.
So, to be really, really clear: if you delete Photos managed by iPhoto via the All Images search you will corrupt your Library.
It's your computer, your images and your iPhoto. You have the information, you decide how to use it.

How do I upgrade to snow leopard (from leopard 10.5) and then restore my files from my time machine HDD backup...without losing any data or reinstalling leopard (10.5)?
Hello, it's great you have a backup, but 10.6 should just Install 10.6 system files over the top of 10.5 system files, & leave all your data intact on the drive.

I'm wanting to sync my ipod to itunes without losing any info that is currently on it. An internet search has shown differnt programs but they are not free.Can anyone help me?
For the music, you can transfer your music from your old computer to your new computer using an external HHD, once the music are in your new computer, open up itunes and add your music folder to the itunes library, do the same with videos.
For your apps, log into your your itunes account and there you will find your "purchased" apps list. Cilck on purchase to see the list and download them again back to your computer. -
How can I back up my iPhone and iPod to a new iCloud account without losing any data?
Hello
Before Mountain Lion comes out I want to create a new iCloud account because I don't want to use the @me.com email that I created with my current iCloud account. I want to create an entirely new account with a new @me.com email address. I use iCloud to back up my iPhone, iPod and am signed into it on my mac. Basically I want to back up my iPhone and iPod to a new iCloud account and not lose any data. Is there any way to do this?
Thanks so much for any help.Before you connect to a new PC, make sure that autosync is disabled in Edit/Preferences/Devices, otherwise your phone will be wiped during the following sync.
Then back up manually:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to the new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
Transfer the purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

Help me please! I'm a new college student trying to make my new computer just like the family computer, which has all of my itunes, ipod sync "station", and etc.How can I hook up my iTouch to this new computer and treat it the same as i did on the old?
P.S.-and just like everyone else, is there a way to do it without losing all my hard earned data?Make sure you cpt the iPod backup file from the old compouter to the new one. That file is located here:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
- after you move the other stuff to your new computer, connect the iPod to the new computer and restore the iPod from the backup you just added to the computer and then sync. -
Can I sync my iPhone with my new MacBook Pro without losing my data & apps?
I was hoping to sync my iPhone (which is currently registered with my PC) with my new MacBook Pro. Is it possible to transfer my apps to my new MacBook or alternatively, sync my iPhone to my MacBook without losing all the apps?
I'm a little wary after syncing an iPod to a new laptop and losing all of my data, so thought I should check this before making any drastic changes...
Thanks!Welcome to the discussions,
A manual backup will do what you want. Here's how to:
Make sure your iTunes account is set up on your new Mac. Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
Transfer your purchases (Apps and bought media) by choosing File->transfer purchases in the iTunes menu.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

I also don't want to get rid of my family's data, either! Thanks!
To migrate your data to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you wish to keep on your phone to your camera roll (unless they are already there). To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. Next, if you are syncing notes with iCloud you will need to open them one at a time and email them to yourself so that you can later use the emails to copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted. (This only deletes the account from your phone, not from iCloud. Other's still using the account will not be effected by this.) Then sign back in with a new Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge when prompted to upload your data to the new account. When you turn Mail to On you will be prompted to choose your new @icloud.com email address (if you wish to use iCloud email).
Once your device has successfully migrated to a separate account, you can go to icloud.com from your computer, sign into your new account and delete your other family member's data from your account. -
How do you unsync your phone and sync it with another computer without losing any data?
How do you unsync your iphone, without loosing any of the music etc? As I have a new laptop and my old laptop is not working.
You need to transfer the data from your old computer to your new computer. Surely you have a backup of your old laptop. Use this and move your data to your new laptop.

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.
