How do I perform a reverse sync?

I bought a new laptop. After I install iTunes and plug in my iPhone, can I perform a reverse sync to add my music to my new PC?
Thanks!

The music sync is one way -computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases.
You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

Had an iPod touch and an iPhone on iTunes. Added another iPhone and iTunes erased/ignored the first two units. I deleted iTunes and reloaded to start over. How do I "Reverse" sync what is on my iPod touch and my first iPhone??

Had an ipod touch and an iphone in iTunes. Spouse added their iphone and it deleted/ignored the first 2 (ipod touch and iphone). Deleted iTunes from computer, reloaded to start over. How do I "reverse" sync my iphone and ipod touch?? Do not want to lose all the info.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Hey floridiansue,
Do you have an installed email program such as Microsoft Outlook? If your email is through an online login, such as Gmail, etc, then one will have to create an email association with a program such as Microsoft Outlook on the PC for this Scan to Email system to function.

HOw do I reverse sync iphone's calendar with ical on my mac?

I think I must have selected Mac to iPhone when syncing the first time and now it's set in perpetuity - I can't even merge my calendars, can only enter it all on my Mac's iCal for transfer to my iPhone calendar. If I enter data on my iPhone, then sync, it gets dumped.
So - how can I reset iTunes to make my device primary and Mac secondary? Or how can I reverse sync?

I found two solutions to this problem on a similar discussion topic.

I also experienced the same problem, i.e. iCal not syncing with iPhone. Contrary to most other users who experienced this problem, for me it appeared after updating the MacOS to 10.6.4, long before I updated the iPhone to OS4.
Now, thanks to janice0927 suggestion, it perfectly works, but I had to do one more thing in order to solve the problem:
Reset the sync history on your Mac. This is done in the iSync (located in the Application folder) preferences. After selecting "reset sync history", restart your Mac.
Afterward, follow the same procedure janice0927 suggested. For your convenience, I copied the steps here below:
1. You are going to be pushing your calendar from ical onto your iphone so you will lose any events that are currently on your iphone but not on ical -- you will need to update ical manually to ensure you don't lose anything important.
2. Scroll down in the info tab in itunes to the Advanced options at the bottom -- where it says replace the information on my iphone and select calendar.
3. Sync, check that your iphone calendar matches your ical calendar
4. Add a new test event to the iphone (the selection you made in advanced should have automatically deselected after you sync'd but check just to make sure)
5. Sync again -- check if your test event was transferred.
Good Luck!
iMac (intel - 2007) Mac OS X (10.6.4) iPhone 3G (OS4)
Hope these work for any of you having the sync problem.

I have multiple devices backed up to the same computer each with different data. how do i keep them from syncing all data when i back up or transfer stuff from the computer to a device?

i have multiple devices backed up to the same computer each with different data. how do i keep them from syncing all data when i back up or transfer stuff from the computer to a device? one is an iphone 6 and the others are ipad mini first gens, each ipad has 64gb and the iphone has 128, need to keep the data seperate as they are not all mine

Itunes content and pics are NOT part of the backup that itunes performs.
Backing up, updating, and restoring iPad, iPod touch, and iPhone software
You should transfer any purchases from iphone regularly: File>Transfer Purchases , if they fail to be transferred when you sync.
You buy one and only one download. It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your purchases.
You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.

How do you perform a full system restore for the hp officejet 6500

Basically, after having this printer for 1 year, the wireless printing started to not work correctly. After buying a laptop and trying to configure the printer with it, the printer started to have problems with wireless printing. So how do you perform a FULL factory reset? I already tried hitting #9 while the printer was turning on but it only seemed to partially reset the system. It did not turn it back to the day i bought the printer.

OK, so it turns out it was the 'only show synced content' tick box.
Wow, how embarrassed do I feel now? I never even paid any attention to that tick box all these years.
Interestingly, over the last couple of days I had my ATV at v1.1 again, and happily deleted all my content (except for 1 album which I deliberately left on). A few days went past, and I checked daily - and there was only ever the 1 album.
I then upgraded to ATV v3.0.1 again today and that's when my problems came back - all my content magically reappeared on the Apple TV (or so I thought).
I'm thinking maybe that the 'only show synced content' is a recent 3.0 feature? And if so, maybe that's why I never noticed it before and that's why it was confusing me? Or maybe it's been there all these years (in which case I'll carry on being embarrassed).
Anyway, a huge thanks to everyone who responded.

How can I perform this kind of range join query using DPL?

How can I perform this kind of range join query using DPL?
SELECT * from t where 1<=t.a<=2 and 3<=t.b<=5
In this pdf : http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/berkeley-db/pdf/performing%20queries%20in%20oracle%20berkeley%20db%20java%20edition.pdf,
It shows how to perform "Two equality-conditions query on a single primary database" just like SELECT * FROM tab WHERE col1 = A AND col2 = B using entity join class, but it does not give a solution about the range join query.

I'm sorry, I think I've misled you. I suggested that you perform two queries and then take the intersection of the results. You could do this, but the solution to your query is much simpler. I'll correct my previous message.
Your query is very simple to implement. You should perform the first part of query to get a cursor on the index for 'a' for the "1<=t.a<=2" part. Then simply iterate over that cursor, and process the entities where the "3<=t.b<=5" expression is true. You don't need a second index (on 'b') or another cursor.
This is called "filtering" because you're iterating through entities that you obtain from one index, and selecting some entities for processing and discarding others. The white paper you mentioned has an example of filtering in combination with the use of an index.
An alternative is to reverse the procedure above: use the index for 'b' to get a cursor for the "3<=t.b<=5" part of the query, then iterate and filter the results based on the "1<=t.a<=2" expression.
If you're concerned about efficiency, you can choose the index (i.e., choose which of these two alternatives to implement) based on which part of the query you believe will return the smallest number of results. The less entities read, the faster the query.
Contrary to what I said earlier, taking the intersection of two queries that are ANDed doesn't make sense -- filtering is the better solution. However, taking the union of two queries does make sense, when the queries are ORed. Sorry for the confusion.

HT4539 How do ypu perform the "IOS update" required to get ringtones on my cell?

How do I perform the "IOS update" required to get ringtones on my cell? I can't figure it out through the ITunes store....

Welcome to the Apple community.
If an update is available for your device, connect it to iTunes and use the update feature.
However, you do not need to update your device in order to use ringtones. Simply select the ringtones you wish to sync to your device from the Tones tab in iTunes on your computer when your device is connected to it, and perform a sync.

How do I convert the old sync key (12 characters, no dashes) to the new sync key (31 characters, 5 dashes)?

My sync key used to be 12 characters, no dashes (xxxxxxxxxxxx). After uninstalling and reinstalling FF 3.6.13, Sync 1.6.1 refuses my 12 character sync key.
I discovered, that sync keys for all users have been switched to 31 characters including 5 dashes (x-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx). How do I get the new sync key?
I have no PCs connected to Firefox Sync anymore but Firefox Home and 360 Browser on my iPhone sync successfully. Unfortunately on the iPhone I cannot display the currently used sync key. Is there a way to convert the old sync key to the new one?
I need the bookmarks saved in my Sync account.
Thanks for your help!

I had the exact same symptoms you did. Here's my solution:
I installed an older version of firefox sync (1.4.something, I think) and then added my account using my old short firefox sync key. When trying to sync, the outdated addon said that in order to perform the sync, it needed to be updated. After updating, I was still signed in, but now had the added feature of seeing my new long firefox sync key which was compatible with FF 4b, etc. Everything is working smoothly now and my computer is syncing correctly.

Apple TV reverse sync photos

My portable hard drive has cratered and I'm not sure if I can have the data recovered or not. However, alot of my photos on the drive were synced to my Apple TV and are still there. Is there any possibility of reverse syncing those photos back to my computer? My hard drive is a WD Passport, btw, and it is not initialized in the Disk Management. Maybe someone knows a fix to that as well which would resolve my problem as well. Many photos on the hd are my son's photos that I backed up for him before he left for Iraq. Those photos are NOT on my Apple TV so data recovery is the ideal solution. Thanx

No easy way to get content off AppleTV I'm afraid.
Your only options are to:
- dismantle and remove internal drive, and try and read the drive inserted in a caddy (but you'd need a Mac for that due to the file system)
- hack AppleTV to gain command line access (you might need some utilities to do this on Windows)
Neither are ideal options.
Depending on how valuable the photos are your best option may be a professional data recovery solution but there would be no guarantees.
Best case would be if it's not the passport drive but the control electronics/interface that's gone. Might also be worth checking that your USB cable and port on PC are ok.
If you do gain access to the drive and you think it's partially corrupted do not delete/write to it.
Might also be worth checking if WD have any diagnostic apps online for you to try and determine what's wrong.
You haven't added any new drives/optical drives recently, which in some configurastions could take that externald drive letter and hide it ?

Reverse syncing my Itunes

My hard drive crashed and it had to be rebuilt. I re-installed iTunes but my music library is gone.
The only option I have is to erase and sync because it thinks the iPod is managered by another computer and it wants to start over.
How do I reverse sync my iPod to my iTunes?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

1). Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
3). Once you are connected and your iPod is safely in manual mode there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. iTunes will only let you copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchased songs and in some cases, videos and games) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers
A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod2PC Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
YamiPod Mac and Windows
iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
Floola Mac & Windows
iPodRip Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
4). Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

How can I use iCloud to sync to just my account on my iMac and not to my husband's account?

I have an iMac using OS X 10.7.5. I have separate accounts for myself and my husband. I also have an iPhone and an iPad. How do I get iCloud to sync my account with my iPad and iPhone without syncing with my husband's account on the iMac?

If you are using the same AppleID you cannot, just create seperate AppleID's and you should be OK.

How do I perform a "Suite Product Activation" so that Acrobat will start working on my new Retina MacBook Pro?

How do I perform a "Suite Product Activation" so that Acrobat will start working on my new Retina MacBook Pro?
Like others, I have recently upgraded my MacBook Pro to the next generation and migrated all my information from old to new. Everything works seamlessly EXCEPT Acrobat. Photoshop, Indesign, Bridge and Lightroom all seem functional. Acrobat hangs with an error message "Suite Product Activation Needed. Acrobat was installed as part of a suite. To enable Acrobat, please start another element of the suite (such as Photoshop)." Needless to say, starting another element of the suite has NO impact on Acrobat.
This has to be a common problem. Now that Apple has made it really easy to migrate information from old to new machines, it has to come up all the time. What surprises me greatly is that I can't find any coherent answer in these forums.
So how do I get Acrobat running again?

Hi Anubha,
I do not understand what you said below.
I am running Adobe Acrobat Pro Version 9.5.5. I do not remember whether it came with Photoshop or InDesign.
When I open Photoshop, it opens without my having to follow any instructions to activate the software. As a matter of fact, I cannot find my Photoshop serial number anywhere in the Photoshop program itself. I do know it from my profile at Adobe.com. Are you suggesting I deactivate Photoshop on the new computer and then reactivate it using my serial number? Will it reactivate?
When you say
"/Library/Application Support/Adobe" at the root level of the startup disk (not the Library folder inside a user's Home folder)
what do you mean? I do not have a startup disk. I have the original installation disk but that version of Photoshop has been updated a few times.
After staring at your instructions for a while, I realized that you might be talking about the Library/Application Support folders resident on my Macintosh HD, although why you called it a startup disk is unclear to me. IAC, I went into those folders and duly moved the three folders into a new folder I called “Acrob1” and restarted Adobe Acrobat 9 and got the following error message: “AMT Subsystem Failure The licensing subsystem has failed catastrophically. You must reinstall of call customer support.” with a small (6).
By undoing my actions I am back to the staus quo ante.
Now what?
Regards, Robert

How to improve performance of MediaPlayer?

I tried to use the MediaPlayer with a On2 VP6 flv movie.
Showing a video with a resolution of 1024x768 works.
Showing a video with a resolution of 1280x720 and a average bitrate of 1700 kb/s leads to a delay of the video signal behind the audio signal of a couple of seconds. VLC, Media Player Classic and a couple of other players have no problem with the video. Only the FX MediaPlayer shows a poor performance.
Additionally mouse events in a second stage (the first stage is used for the video) are not processed in 2 of 3 cases. If the MediaPlayer is switched off, the mouse events work reliable.
Does somebody know a solution for this problems?
Cheers
