A lot of questions about sync

Hello,
1) First, I want to view the tab opened on my firefox for android with my firefox for PC, how do I do that ?
''Solved'' it's under 'history'.
2) Then is there a limit to the number of tabs synchronized because I don't see all the tabs opened on my PC, on my android device ?
3)If I allow sync to automatically sync in by authorising 'auto sync' the data usage section of Android, is this also going to affect my other account like my google one ? (plus, 4) I cannot chose what to manually sync because it's greyed when this authorisation isn't done)
5)What happen when I check or uncheck one of the box in sync parameters ? what happen of the data on Mozilla servers ?
6)Are the synced item in the history or tabs displayed in any way for example with a little icon when for example using the awesome bar ?
Finally I thank you all in advance for your answers and I think Sync may need a little more extensive help section, doesn't you ?
PS: May be some of those are bugs that need to be fixes feel free to report to bugzilla or to suggest me to do it :)

Thanks for your answers
2) You mean by the resources of the pc running ? (it's how I know I have too much when Fx cannot start anymore despite I think it should handle a lot more tabs when they're unloaded) It's probably not the case :(
3)I tried and it work now :) , you were right but since all account I pre-checked for synchronizing as soon as you authorise automatic synchronisation they sync.
4)This was an usability problem when auto sync is not authorized you cant properly select the item you may wanna sync manually
5) This is great :)
7)no it's not abc order, 'tabs as well' uh I doubt it you wouldn't want of browser which each time you click on a tab, move it to the top or the bottom of your tab list
8)So if I get it sync for the tabs is more POP than IMAP in the way that you cannot act on the data you're receiving it's just a copy :( That doesn't sound like real syncing to me.

  • Few questions about syncing

    Hi,
    I have a few questions about syncing. Since this is my first iphone and apple product, I'm not familliar with it. My mother bought the tomtom app for navigation. And she said that it has 3 uses (for 3 different devices). Now the app is in her library on her computer. So if i try to sync with her library, it will erase all my previous apps. How come? Also I'm planning to use a laptop in college so I'll have to sync it with that.
    What should I do to keep my apps?

    All 3rd party apps - paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account used to download the app. This is required by 3rd party app developers to prevent people from stealing from them with paid apps. If not for this, you could pay for and download the TomTom app which is not cheap and all your friends and family members with an iPhone could install the app on their iPhone without paying for it, which in effect is stealing.
    There is no device limit for the number of iPods and iPhones that can be synced with the same iTunes library on the same computer, but in regards to all iTunes content - music, movies, tv shows, and 3rd party apps, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first.

  • A lot of questions about my MacBook Air

    I am really new to re-using Apple computers.The last time I used an Apple computer was back in 1987 when the school and my family had Apple IIGS computers. I have been using PC's which reqiure Microsoft. I a lot of have questions (10 questions) about my MacBook Air and I hope you good people can and will help me.
    Product: MacBook Air
    Operating System: Mac OS X Version 10.7.4
    1) I Downloaded MacKeeper because I was fooled. I had a bad feeling just before I Downloaded it and I should have listened to my heart. However, I didn't buy it or fully Install it. It was like a test run and then they wanted me to pay almost $100 for it. Thankfully, I didn't because I read it is Malware. I spoke with an Apple Tech at Apple Care and he helped me get rid of it (or so we think). I don't see it anymore on my computer. I read it can slow down your computer. How can you tell if it's really off of the computer?
    2) When I open "Finder" and I see that there are people Sharing my computer with me. I went into AirDrop and it reads, "Other people can see your Mac as (my name) MacBook Air when their computer is nearby." I bought a HotSpot and while it's turned on and I selected it as my WI-FI connection I thought it would  get rid of these people, protect what I type, me, my items, computer, etc. But it didn't.  
    I didn't know that I have to buy a exteral CD and/or DVD Player in order to connect to the brand new Modem and Router in one by NetGear. I am so used to PCs and the CD/DVD Players being built inside.
    The people at Apple Store told me that there is an internal modem inside, but I don't know how to find it and what to do then.  Should I use a Firewall?, An AntiVirus, AntiMalware, AntiSpyware, etc. Apple Care tech told me I don't need to get an AntiVirus.
    3) Is there a new kind of Wireless Modem and Router that doesn't require a CD-ROM?
    4) When I travel or fly and I am not close to home I was told by Best Buy and Sprint that I had to buy a mobile HotSpot to use the computer (WI-FI) safely. As I typed, I have one. But it's pretty expensive and only gives me 1 hour and 15 minutes per day to Stream. What can I do to use this computer safely Online when I am out of range from a Modem and Router? What do people do when they travel on airplanes?  
    5) This compter won't let me use "Raid." I think you have to have a newer version. I hard about Raid on the radio from Leo (can't recall his last name) who's a Tech expert.
    6) Should I buy a ZipDrive? Apple Store Tech told me that I didn't need a ZipDrive. I just remember the episode of HBO's "Sex and The City" when Carrie looses everything because her copy crashed. Now, of course, I know that's a fictional show, but with PC's and Microsoft I have lost everything when it crashed, frooze up, etc. I know there's iClouds. I heard about Carbonite, but I have read the Pros and Cons about it. Mostly they are Cons about it. I just don't want to do anything wrong and mess up this computer.
    7) Should I buy a new Printer/Copier/Scanner because mine is an HP. It's not new, but it works. I even have a CD-ROM for Macs. What about the new product called, "Neat"?
    8) Is there a special product that I should buy to do Online Banking and/or other important stuff?
    9) I saw and read about iWork in the Apps Store and it sounds cool. I still have alot of friends and colleagues who still use Microsoft. Is iWork good to use? Should I Download it from the Apple Apps Store or can a buy it at Apple? Is there another Word Processing Program that is great and user friendly and will work with Macs and PCs?
    10) Should I Update the OS with OS X Mountian Lion Pro from the Apple Apps Store or buy it at Apple Store?
    In advance, I wish to thank you in this Apple Support Communites for your help.  Have a safe and happy holiday weekend!

    1) Here are instructions for removing MacKeeper. Since it mostly consists of manually looking for folders and specific files, if you follow the instructions you either fail to find what you are told to find (because your AppleCare guide gave you complete instructions which you followed) or you'll find some additional files that need to be replaced.
    2 & 3) I assume you are looking at the sidebar of a Finder window and seeing Shared and computers under it. Those are computers that you can potentionally share. To do so you'd need an account on their computer and a password. They are not sharing your computer.
    AirDrop allows you to create an adhoc network for filesharing and it only functions when you have selected the AirDop item in the SideBar. Actually doing that merely announces to computers in the same network node that your computer is available for a file to be sent to. Even then you have to explicitly allow the file to be downloaded to your computer. Similarly you'd be able to see other computers with AirDrop selected and be able to send them a file - which they'd have to accept.
    The only reason your NetGear Router comes with a CD is to install and run their 'easy' step by step configuration program. It can also be done manually with a browser. Read the manual to find the IP address you must enter to access the router's configuration menu. Apple's WiFi routers don't require a CD to install the software because the configuration software is already on your computer.
    I do have my firewall turned on. AntiVirus software isn't a bad idea - I use Sophos having tested it for a review for our local User Group and I found I liked it better than ClamAVx which is what I'd been using before. Both are free.
    4) I think you were scammed by Sprint and BestBuy. I use hotel, coffee shop, and restaurant WiFi spots and have for years. However, because they can be unsecured, I do not shop online or bank when I'm using them. I also use 1Password and don't reuse passwords so even if a sniffer should grab an account and password that's all it would get - one account.
    5) Raid doesn't really make sense with a MacBook Air - a RAID involves 2 or more disks being used as if they were one.
    6) Zip drive? No. External hard drive - yes. It isn't a question of if a computer's hard drive will malfunction, it is when. OWC has a nice selection of external drives and the Mac has a built in backup system called TimeMachine. Due to the way TimeMachine works, I've found that your TimeMachine drive should be at least twice as large - and preferably 3-4 times as large as the data you are backing up.
    7) if your printer works and it has Mountain Lion drivers, why replace it?
    8) Online banking is done with a browser - Use Safari or FireFox
    9) If trading files with Windows users is important Mac: Office is your best bet. If not, iWork, Mac:Office, or LibreOffice are all good possibilities.
    10) you can only buy Mt Lion via the App Store.

  • Lots of Questions about the Creative MuVo Slim 256MB MP3 Pla

    <SPAN>Hello, I'm thinking of buying it...but I got lots of questions that i want it answered first before I buy it.
    <SPAN>
    <SPAN>. How long does the battery last? Like would I even need to replace the rechargeable li-ion battery every year? month? never?
    <SPAN>2. I know I can only charge the battery via <SPAN>USB<SPAN> cable, so a<SPAN>pproximately how long is the wait time until it has fully recharged?<SPAN>
    <SPAN>3. Is it possible to recharge using an adapter instead of the <SPAN>USB<SPAN>? Because I found it easily.<SPAN>
    <SPAN>4. Do you think this is worth buying? Or should I wait on a future release? <SPAN>
    <SPAN>5. Is the voice recording clear? And can you record 5-0 feet away?<SPAN>
    <SPAN>
    <SPAN>Thank you very much for your time in answering my questions.

    . Lithium Ion batteries last at peak performance for about 3 years, or 300-500 charges, whatever comes first. They will still work after this for several years, but at reducing performance.
    2. Sorry, not sure...
    3. Again, not sure. You're taking a risk that the adapter is compatible.
    4. Only you can make that decision. Just look at this and the other players and compare the features and price.
    5. The in-built microphones are not great quality, and really only good for recording interviews and meetings, that type of thing.

  • Question about syncing multiple ipods to one iTunes library

    I have an iPod touch (2nd gen Ver 3.1.3) that I sync to my computer. My daughter recently got an iPod touch (2nd gen Ver 4.0) that was under her father's account. I reset her iPod in order to put it under my iTunes store account. Next I synced her iPod with my computer adding only the items she wanted (games mostly and a few songs).
    iTunes didn't seem to have a problem with our devices being different versions. So far so good. I have only synced her device once and haven't synced mine since. We have both purchased apps straight to our iPods and they aren't backed up.
    My questions are:
    1. Before syncing, will I have to go check everything I want every time in iTunes?
    2. We use some of the same apps and games. Will the game data and/or app data be written by another players data? Can you tell I'm really just concerned about my TapFish score?
    I'm holding off on syncing until I know the answers.

    well, it would be better to keep everything checked in your library and instead create separate playlists for each mobile device.

    you can use as many mobile devices as you want with a single iTunes library. iTunes treats each device separately.
    i have two Nano's, an iPod Touch, and an iPad syncing with the same library.

  • General question about syncing/photos

    maybe this is the most ridiculous question i can ask, but i just can't grasp syncing photos.
    say i have photos on my phone and photos in my iphotos and itunes is set up to sync photos with iphoto, will the photos on my phone just be added to my iphoto or will the iphone photo gallery be made to replicate my iphoto gallery?
    i have lots of photos on my iphone i would love to separate into different galleries on my iphone.
    i've also had an issue where lots of photos seem to have gone missing from my phone after syncing ant they are no where to be found...
    i'm just generally not having a fun experience dealing with my photos on my iphone and through iphoto as i never feel like i have full control over where the files end up and how they are moved...

    The photo sync process is ONE -WAY - computer to iphone. You go to the photo tab and select the folders/albums that you would like to sync. Those folders/album will be reflected on your iphone ( but in lower resolution) You cannot sync these photos back to your computer. The iphone is NOT a backup device.
    Pics taken/saved with iphone ( Camera Roll) should be imported ( as you would import from any digital camera) to your computer regularly. You can then organize and sync them to iphone.

  • Question about syncing two different iPads on 1 iMac?

    Hey all, I bought two iPad 2's today (both gifts, 1 for my mom and 1 for my dad). Bought it for them because they're probably too old at this stage for me to teach them to use a desktop efficiently. iPad is so easy for them to use the internet and listen to their music which is most important.
    My question is, I don't have an iPad myself nor any iOS devices. Maybe I'll buy an ipad in a few months or so. However I do own the only computer in the house and that's my iMac. I was going to sync both my mom and dad's iPads to my Mac, and put their songs from my iTunes library on their iPads respectively. Will I incure any problems trying to do this?
    I don't want my mom and dad's iPads to be identical and I want to sync different pictures and songs and stuff on their ipads. I want it to be their own individually.
    What steps should I take to do this? I've never really synced any iOS products before but I pick up on this stuff pretty quickly. Made the transition from a Windows desktop to a Mac easily and would do it all over again!

  • Question about syncing albums

    Is there a way to sync music to an ipod by albums? All I see is artist, playlist, and genre...but what about albums?

    There is no option to check off the albums you want to sync. However, if certain albums are important, you can put them into a playlist and sync by playlist. Once they are on the iPod, you can ignore that playlist and access them by album name.

  • Lost my  Iphone4, using my old Iphone3... question about syncing!

    Hi there,
    I hope someone can help me!
    I lost my Iphone4... and so I've had to dig out my old Iphone to use in the meantime.
    I synced my Iphone4 about a week before I lost it, so does that mean somehow all my stuff is safe on my computer?
    If I sync the Iphone3 with my Itunes... what will happen? I havent synced it because I'm concerned.
    Any info will be greatly appreciated.

  • Questions about Syncing a Network Server

    I have a Windows XP and of course an iMac G5. I have about 6 GB of pictures saved on the XP and I'm using the iMac as a backup, so all my photos dont get blown away when the XP acts like a Windows... you know what i mean... right?
    I was wondering if there was a way that whenever a bulk of pictures is added to the XP, if there was a downloadable automator action from the downloads page here on apple.com or some third party software that would sync any added or changed pictures from the XP to the iMac for me every week or so, so that every time a bunch of pictures are added, I wont have to delete the current backed up pictures and copy the entire server over to the backup folder (thats the way I make sure that a picture doesnt get blown away during the process)
    Could anyone help me?

    Sorry I don't know of any software that can do that, but to make things easier could you not create a weekly folder on your Windows machine (even name it ....week of Aug.14,2005) then just move/add that to your Imac backup folder. It would make it easier to find these pictures later also. Hope this helps and that maybe someone might suggest some software if it exists. Bob :~)

  • Question about syncing iPhone and Address book

    I recently deleted some unwanted and outdated contact information from my address book on my computer. It synced correctly to my iPhone, but did not prompt me about the lost contact information. I also added one or two new contacts to my iPhone but when synced, it did not transfer these to the address book. Does one device take precedence over the other? Is there a way to set the preferences to prompt me before it deletes contacts from my iPhone? Thanks!

    Ah, never mind. I'll give up on this thread and bug my IT guy instead.

  • Lots of questions about Sound Cards and DJ'ing

    Hello,
    I am thinking about purchasing a MacBook. First some background. I play in a wedding/corporate band who occasionally hires a DJ to play in between our sets. Sometime I just bring out my Ipod and plug in to avoid this cost. Most DJ's we use bring out a laptop and just plug directly into our PA. I started looking into laptops so we could cut out The DJ cost all together.
    In my research I found that Mac's seem to be the Laptop of choice for most DJ's. My question is about the sound card inside the Macs. Is it a good quality. Would I need to upgrade in order for it to sound good going through a PA system. What are the audio outputs for Macs? As I said before I sometimes just use my Ipod and that sounds pretty good but its hard to search for things etc. And which Macbook do you think I should be looking at. The Pro or the regular?
    Thank you for your help.

  • Lot of question about technical communication suite 5

    I have a Mac, Parallels with Windows 8 for simulation, Creative Cloud 6, Technical Communication Suite 5. I use the Mac except when an application is available only for windows.
    Is there a way to import in Frame PhotoShop and Illustrator documets with automatic link when those programs reside on the mac? (or do I need to install them on Windows)
    Creative Cloud allows 2 computers. Is it the same for Tech Comm?
    Can the programs in tech comm use the cloud?
    Captivate in tech comm can work on the mac. Is there a way to install it there?
    Tech Comm install a lot of programs on windows. Are they documented somewhere?
    Is there some good tips about docummentation?
    Is there a way to reinstall an application? Acrobat did not install corectly on windows (I have it as part of creative cloud on the mac)

    The TechComm Suite is Windows only and is blisfully unaware of the Creative Cloud. It does have connectors to Photoshop and Illustrator for the FrameMaker component. As per all other Adobe products, you can have two activations on a product.
    You need to run all of the TCS apps in a VM (Parallels, Bootcamp, etc.) if you want any interactions between them.
    Consult the Help for the available documentation (there are downloadable PDFs of the User Guides). However, to learn the applications it it recommended to refer to third-party resources.
    The TCS version of Captivate is Window only.
    For TCS purposes, install the Acrobat version from the TCS in the virtual enviroment.

  • Questions about syncing multiple MobileMe accounts on one iPad

    You can set up multiple MobileMe accounts; however, only one MobileMe account at a time can be used for Find My iPad and for syncing contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and notes. (iPad User Guide p. 32)
    Okay.
    If you've done this already (created multiple MobileMe accounts on your iPad), can you please tell me how syncing two accounts to one device works in practice?
    What prevents the merging of contacts and calendars between two MobileMe accounts and one instance of the Calendar and Contacts apps?
    As a matter of functionality, and assuming there is a way to avoid merging this information, how does one access separate calendars and contacts from separate MobileMe accounts in the Calendar and Contact apps?
    Thanks!
