When I sync my iPhone 4S to my computer, where is the baseline data and documents coming from? Is the iPhone's set of apps and data the default set or are the apps and data on the computer (in the backup? in iTunes?) the default set?

I am having a great deal of trouble with the upgrade to ios 7 on my 4S. The syncing and the software updates always leave generic icon apps that I have downloaded in the past but have deleted from my phone. But they keep reappearing. A restart of the phone fixes the icons but they are loaded not at the last page of the home screen but on completely random pages, screwing up my app and folder layout.
I want to completely wipe the phone and restore the apps one by one, but I am concerned about whether the data and documents for those apps that I reinstall will be intact. Does the syncing for the apps on the phone retrieve the data from the last backup on the computer? If so, does it only sync the apps on the phone or does it try and reinstall all the apps that there is data for in the backup? In other words, does the resulting set of apps and data reflect the current state of the phone or the saved state of the backup?

Apple guys are deleting posts. I have found my posts have been deleted. Apple should MUST let us downgrade at least to previous release from current which was working fine.

  • I'm trying to delete some recently downloaded apps that don't work. They are faded grey and although they shake with the other apps, no cross appears in the top corner. Any ideas anyone? Thanks, Sean

    I have the same issue witha  slight variation.  The app icons that are grayed out and cannot be deleted are DUPLICATES of other apps that I already have.  For instance I now have 2 Redbox apps - one works normally, the other cannot be opened or deleted. 

  • HT5661 If I reset and erase contents from my old iphone as suggested, will it effect my new iphone that I have already transferred my data to? Do I need to turn off Icloud on old phone before erasing data ?

    If I reset and erase contents from my old iphone will it effect the data I have already transferred to my ne iphone?

    Hello ski12
    Restoring or erasing all content and settings will just turn the feature of iCloud off and not deleting from iCloud. If you want to, turn off iCloud before you go through with erasing it.

    21.5 Mid 2010
    Processor  3.2 GHz Intel Core i3
    Memory  4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Software  OS X 10.8.5 (12F37)
    I just found an answer ! 
    I had moved my computer into another room and had to turn up the brightness, as I have always had it on the lowest setting.  In doing so it created the noise, I turned it right down and it stopped.  I have now set it about level 3 so it's not so distracting.
    thanks

  • Why does a new run once start up program run every time I start my computer? The start up program is coming from Reader XI. The only name on it is a number starting with 141_______.

  • After the recent update, my documents moved from Finder to Word.  When I moved the folders to Finder, I am unable to attach a file to an e-mail.  Any Suggestions?

    After the recent update, my documents moved from Finder to Word.  When I moved the folders to Finder, I am unable to attach a file to an e-mail.  Any Suggestions?

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Elitebook 2540p: Faint sound and static coming from speakers...Need Help!

    I am having issues with my new 2540P. I can hear faint sound and static coming from my speakers as well as my headphones when I plug into the jack.  I first started having this issue when I plugged additional speakers into the jack and USB while talking on Skype..
    I am running Win7. I tried troubleshooting drivers and hardware, disabling and enabling, and a system restore going back one day...but no luck. When I disable the speakers, I stopped hearing even the faint sound. I also tried plugging and unplugging the jack 20 times. 
    Is it possible that this is a hardware failure (jack and/or sound card)?
    Does anyone have other suggestions?

    I am running XP and have same problem.  Sound now gone after "pop".  Customer services suggests hardware failure and send back to factory.  Flashing BIOS and updating IDT audio driver will not fix the problem.
    Possible speaker failure or audio chip failure.

  • I need to download all of my photos from my iPhone 4S and my iPad 2 to my MacBook Air. I want to make sure all my photos are not lost and that they do not return to the original devices because of the cloud. Can someone please help ?

    I need to download all of my photos from my iPhone 4S and my iPad 2 to my MacBook Air because there is no more storage space available. I want to make sure all my photos are not lost and that they do not return to the original devices because of the cloud. Can someone please help ?

    Connect your devices to the computer with the USB cable (one device at a time) and import the photos via iPhoto or Image Capture.
    If you have not changed any default settings on your computer, iPhoto will automatically launch when you plug in the device. Then follow the import prompts.

  • WiFi problems and email coming from the past...

    Hi all,
    Looks like I'm having a lot of problems with my 2006 MacBook Pro: after overheating when trying to install a different OS on a VM thanks to VirtualBox (see here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2221808&tstart=0 ) or simply watching streaming video (see here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2222219&tstart=0 ), I've now noticed strange email in my Inbox on Thunderbird. Email dating from the 1st of January, 1970...
    Is my EFI battery slowly dying on me? I haven't changed it since I bought my MBP in the summer of 2006. Where is it located? I've added RAM recently, but I haven't got any further, dismantling-wise. Wish I didn't have to...
    Aside from that, and for the second day in a row, I've noted that my WiFi chip has trouble staying connected to my Internet box (I'm in France, and we're big on "boxes" for broadband, telephone and TV. We've even invented a name for it: triple-play. So-o French...). The network itself isn't at fault, since my other computers don't have problems at all connecting. Since I've had multiple problems with this machine (a logic board swap last year and a change of SuperDrive last summer, plus four different batteries in three years) and it's out of warranty, I don't know what to do. Should I gut it open? And if I do, what am I supposed to look out for...?

    Check the Long Headers or Ra Source to see if the Dates are different, if so it's likely the PRAM Battery.
    Direct download link to Manual...

    The new bottom pan will not come with the PRAM battery so you need to make sure that is removed and transferred over to the new bottom. The PRAM is located towards the front right of the unit around where the superdrive was located. It is usually going to be a round blue object with a cable coming out of it. It is held on by a slight adhesive.

  • Is it possible to obtain the last IP address from which the device has displayed a message from Find My iPhone ?

    Hello, a couple of months ago my macbook got stolen so when yesterday i recieved an email my message was displayed on it i was wondering if there is a possibility to get the last IP address used on that machine .So if there is such possibility could someone direct me how to do it ?

    I'm sorry, but I'm still not clear on the problem. Do you mean that you have both "Smith Family" and "John Smith" tied to the same email address? If so, again, that "friendly" name isn't sent to the recipient, so the person receiving the email will get exactly the same thing regardless of whether you select the "Smith Family" entry or the "John Smith" entry. The "friendly" name doesn't go along as part of the email.
    It would only matter on your end when looking at your Sent email, and if that's an issue, it should be no problem to select which one you want; just start entering in the email address/name and wait a second; you'll get a dropdown with all the addresses that meet that criteria and you can just pick the correct one.
    Forgive me if I'm still not understanding what the difficult is or what you're trying to accomplish.
