Re eBooks added to an iPad, what determines whether it will be sync'd back to iTunes?
I'm trying to figure out the rules of the road for back-syncing from an iOS device such as an iPad and the iTunes.app on a Mac or Win desktop machine. In particular, I am interested in ePub-based eBooks gotten from sources other than the iBookstore. There are a number of possibilities:
o Sideloading to the iOS device via iTunes.app with "Manually manage music and videos" selected. With this setting, one can drag and drop an eBook onto the device in the Devices listing in iTunes.app. The ePub files transferred to an iOS device this way do not seem to be sync'd back to the iTunes.app on MacOS X regardless of the status of the "Manually manage ..." setting. The Calibre eBook library management app has a similar direct transfer function.
o Using Safari for iOS, one can tap on a hyperlink to an eBook on a properly configured HTTP server (proper MIME Type declared for the .epub suffix) and be prompted to hand it off to iBooks or another app that iOS thinks might be able to handle it. The ePub files transferred to an iOS device this way appear to get synched back to iTunes.app on the MacOS X desktop if "Manually manage ..." is not selected.
o I don't believe that the iBooks.app supports OPDS catalogs so that's not a point of entry. Anyone know otherwise? However, there is an iOS app called "eBook Search" that does and it will hand off ePub documents located in OPDS catalogs to iBooks using the same interface as Safari on iOS.
o An iTunes U public site via the Podcasts.app or an iTunes U Course via the iTunes U.app will download ePub books and hand them off to iBooks.
There are probably more ways than I have discovered to get ePub documents into the iBooks.app on iOS without involving either the iBookstore or the iTunes.app. So the question is, "What do I tell my students who are on a scavenger hunt for free, unencumbered (no DRM) ePub documents? They will want to know what will happen after they get them on their iOS devices? Under what circumstances will they be kept, erased, copied back to iTunes.app (or iCloud) and so on?
I have not yet found any Apple documentation on this important question. Any leads will be appreciated.
Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost.

I am trying to polish an application, and find that I cannot seem to reliably control which of the label or caption text appears in the context help window because I don't understand what rules are in place to determine which should appear. It seems like if I reate a named constant, then use it's right click menu command "Create Indicator" I get a control with only a Label (as long as I don't add a caption). This then appears in the context help window as the label name followed by the description text (after entering some description text). But if I add a caption, the label name is shown in bracket
s which is a 'feature' I would like to avoid, because I have certain controls where I would like to use a descriptive variable name on the block diagram side without using so much space on the front panel. It seems like there is no way to avoid showing the Label name in the context help for a control/indicator. Is this true?
I thought the purpose of having a seperate caption was to make the text that appears with a control programmatically controllable, but if that control is not extended to what appears in the context help window, it limits the usefulness of the caption and forces me to re-consider some Label names. However, the problem goes deeper than that because then even when I make the label and caption exactly the same, or if I delete (via a select caption text-backspace or select caption text- delete key .. sequence) the caption for a control, the label name in the context help window still appears in square brackets!
Can I have complete control over the context help fo
r a particular control (or has anyone found a third-party context help solution that functions compatibly with LabVIEW 7 in a built application that they will be so kind as to recommend?)
I have used LabVIEW for three years, and I am now using LabVIEW 7.0.Sorry for that.. I was changing the text of my question and didn't read carefully enough in the preview stage. I wanted it to read "What determines whether the Label name and/or Caption appears in the context help window?"

I purchased 2 ipad mini's at Xmas, I then sync'd them with itunes on my pc, and put basically the same apps on each of them. Both are 16gb units. One of them is full ( with over 9gb of "other" memory) the ipad still has 10gb left.What could be causing this "other" storage

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

I am writing to this forum to ask for help in determining whether Aperture will satisfy my needs when I switch from Windows to MAC in the near future.
I am currently using Photoshop Elements 8 on Windows 7. After several years of use, I am self taught and adequately proficient for an amateur. What I didn't realize (until I started researching my upcoming migration on the Internet) is that I actually use PE8 for two functions: digital asset management and digital editing.
Regarding Digital Asset Management: My research leads me to understand that PE on MAC does not provide the same level of organizational capability that I am used to having on Windows, instead providing Adobe's Bridge which does not look very robust. Furthermore, iPhoto, which come on MAC will not support the hierarchical keyword tagging that I require to organize my library of photos. The two SW applications which I am thinking of switching to are either Aperture or Adobe's Lightroom. Frankly, I'm thinking that it would be smoother to stay within the Apple product line.
So the remaining question is whether Aperture will support my digital editing needs. The tweaks that I do to my photos are not very complex (no, I do not want to put people's heads on other animal bodies). But could someone who uses Aperture tell me whether It will allow me to do the following kinds of edits?:
- If I have a photo where someone's face is too shadowed, can I lighten just that person's face, and leave the rest of the photo as-is?
- if I have a photo where the background is cluttered (eg, 2 people in front of the Parthenon which is undergoing renovation), can I remove just the construction cranes?
- Can it splice together several separate photos to give a panoramic?
If, once I get Aperture, I find that it cannot enable the kinds of editing that I do, I would probably get PE11 in the future. However, if people in this forum tell me that Aperture will definitely not support the kinds of editing which I've described in the previous paragraph, I would prefer to get PE11 with my initial configuration (since someone will be helping me with my migration).
Thanks in advance for your consideration and help!I am concerned, however, about using a non-Apple Digital Asset Manager in OSX. I would really like to avoid integration problems. Is using PE11 to import and catalog my digital photos likely to cause conflicts?
Thanks for any insight on this
Amy,
Not so much conflicts as maybe a little less seamless integration with Apple software and perhaps some third-party software providers in the Mac App Store where some programs build in direct access to iPhoto and Aperture libraries for getting images into those programs easily. Typically, there is a manual command to go to Finder (think Windows Explorer) to browse folders.
One caution to mention however, is that the organization you set-up in PE Organizer is unlikely to transfer over to either iPhoto or Aperture if you decide to change at some point.
The only real stumbling block that I see in your opening comment is that you want hierarchical keywording (Kirby or Léonie can go into the details on keywording limitations as I stay at one level). If you can work with the keywording schemes of either iPhoto or Aperture, then using PE for your external editor (either program supports setting an external editor) would probably be ideal since you know PE well. This is the idea with the Mac App Store version of PE (editor with no organizer).
Note - I use Photoshop CS6 (full version) with Aperture and it works really well. The only downside is that Aperture has to make either a TIFF or PSD file to send to an external editor so that the original file is protected by not sending it to the pixel editor. While TIFF or PSD files protect the integrity of the image information without degrading it, they are typically much larger file sizes on disk than either RAW or JPEG files. Therefore, your library size (iPhoto or Aperture) will balloon quite a bit if you send a lot of files to external editors.
One other possibility for an external editor would be a program called Pixelmator. It is pretty similar to early versions of Photoshop, but built for Mac. Other than the panoramics you want, it will do most pixel editing that PE can do. It is not an organizer, so it is built to go with either iPhoto or Aperture. It does have differences in how you complete certain procedures, so there is bit of a learning curve when you are used to doing it the Adobe way. -

When I plug my iPad into my Mac it will not sync
When I plug my iPad into my Mac it will not sync and my iPad will not charge. I've used every chord that I own. In addition, I've plug other things into my Mac and they work fine. If I plug my iPad into the wall it charges.
Then it doesn't seem like its the cable then does it.
If the iPad isn't being recognized in iTunes, you can start with something very simple. Quit iTunes, reboot your iPad, restart your Mac and then try again.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If it still isn't being seen by iTunes, look for help here.

ive deleted movies from itunes which has removed them from apple tv, i still have them on my ipad, is there any way i can get them back into itunes?
If the movies were rentals then no.
If the movies are purchases and you have the iTunes 10.4 then you should be able to access the 'cloud' option from in the main iTunes page - purchases - (upper right corner) and go from there.
You should also have the option to transfer purchases from the iPad back into iTunes. I don't have an iPad but you can transfer purchases from the iPod/iPhone back to iTunes.

my ipad will not sync or back-up and thus cannot install OS5, it starts fine, but then says "cannot verify applications" and stops sync. Can someone help me?
going to "transfer purchases' does work - however the thermometer bar at the bottom reflecting apps, music, video, book, etc cpapcity fraks out, sliding left to right maybe 4 or 5 times during the process. Have you ever seen this?
After it is finished, the SYNC button is not longer darkened - so I thought it was safe to attampt an upgrade to OS05... which i am doing now... takes maybe 20 mins and then I normally get the error "the applications on this ipad cannot be verified" and the bottom thermometer bar zeros out all by my music. The content and apps are all fine on teh ipad. so strange. I made an appointment with customer service tomrrow AM - but i do not think i should have to pay for this - i have never even used support before!
I will update if it works - or re[eats the strange pattern again and does not update.
Thanks for your time and help! -
What determine whether I see 'keep both' or 'skip/stop/replace' as options when moving files??
Recently I've rolled over the file numbers on my camera again, so moving new photos around often causes filename conflicts: 'An item named "_XXX1234.jpg" already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it with the one you're moving?"
What controls whether I see "Keep both files" as an option (where Finder just adds a 2 suffix to the filename of the newer item being added) vs "skip/stop/replace"?
When I'm trying to copy distinct new items with duplicate filenames, I want to use 'keep both files'; when I'm grabbing a mass of files, moving to a common storage place, and want only the new files to copy over, so that finder does the hard work of figuring out which ones are new/missing from the new folder, I want the option of 'skip' instead.The option-click 'copy file' does not change the dialog box from just clicking and dragging without option--still only seeing the skip/stop/replace.
I do use iPhoto, but find the file structure does not follow my patterns of use, so do not let it organize the files--for those many, inevitable times when I want to access the images directly without having to export the images first. I also have Adobe Bridge, which has a file renaming feature. But I started seeing this option of 'keep both' recently--I think since my install of Mavericks when 10.9.3 came out, and determined it does something very helpful to me, but can't figure out how to make it show up consistently. For some things it would be nicer than always just making a new iPhoto library when the file numbers start over again. -
What gets wiped out if I sync my phone to iTunes
Sorry for starting a new thread with this. It is really a followup/clarification to another post, but that one won't let me reply/comment
In https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141 wjosten wrote:
By design, the iPhone will sync iTunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL iTunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you replaced your computer, or hard drive, your phone will see this as a "new" computer. The iTunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on your own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software, before you do anything else,
The prompt from iTunes if very ominous. I want to clarify what it is going to wipe out.
We have two iPhones and an iPad. I don't know if either of the phones have been synced to iTunes on any of our computers. We use iCloud backup, so we have not felt the need to backup to our Windows PCs. When the iPad was first purchased, the version of iOS it had required iTunes to activate it. I think that was iOS 4. We immediately updated to iOS 5 and life was good. But that first activation was done on an old laptop that is long gone. Anything we do with iTunes and these devices these days, we want to do on my wife's newer laptop.
So, I say all that to clarify that I have no clue what system (if any) these devices are officially synched to. I just want to rip a seminar from an mp3 CD to my iPhone. Imagine my surprise when iTunes tells me my only option is for it to first wipe out my phone
I have the normal ton of pictures and a few videos I have captured on the phone. The normal ton of apps. And I recently entered the 20th century (yeah, still catching up) and purched a CD on iTunes on my phone. This is my first attempt at transfering music (really a seminar, an MP3 CD) to my phone. I have not synced any pictures to my phone from iTunes on any PC. But I have recently downloaded a couple pictures of my grandson from Facebook. Those all appear as if I took them on this phone. I also have the email client set up to access 4 different mail servers (iCloud, Gmail, AOL, work) and calendar set up to access work, Google Calendar, and iCloud. And a ton of contacts. All of that is backed up to iCloud.
So do I have anything I need to "extract ... using third party software"? Or will backup to iTunes on the PC get everything?
Is it really going to wipe out everything on my phone before transfering this one audio CD?
really disappointed at how difficult this is.did you backed it up? with itunes or icloud backup?

I burned cd's in iTunes. The songs were able to sync and play on my iPad. After this, exclamation points appeared in iTunes on my laptop (unable to find source). They still play in iTunes but will not sync with my iPhone 4S. Do some cd's have a limit on the number of times you can copy them or is this an iTunes problem.
KiwiLouisa - I had the same problem. I was eventually able to distribute my content that was "Not eligible for iCloud" to my iPhone by switching off ITunes Match in both the ITunes app/machine that hosts my library (my Macbook Pro, in this case) as well as on the device to which I wished to distribute my content (my iPhone 6+). This opened up the option for my device iTunes Music settings for selecting "Entire Music Library".
After I successfully transferred *ALL* my music and music videos via iTunes sync, I then again switched on ITunes Match in iTunes on my Macbook and on my iPhone.
This does not change the iCloud status, but at least I have the content on my iPhone. -
