Any way around iOS backups being stored on C: drive?

I have an SSD I use for windows as a C drive which has about 10 gig free usually. I have iTunes set up to keep my library and such on another drive. The backups for my 64 gig iPad often fill the limited C drive space I have. For the life of me I can't imagine why Apple would be so sloppy as to have the backup location not be configurable. I want to keep a backup around but at this point I have to delete all of them because they quickly fill 7 or 8 gigs. Fom what I have read here and online even the mac version has the backup location non-configurable. Really baffling.

Time machine may be fantastic and all but i don't have an external hd besides my ps3 and a couple of flash drives. not really interested in using 80 gigs of my 80 gig ps3 for a backup. on windows there is an option for a restore pt. it allowed for a user to take the computer back to some previous pt in the computer's life where the virus you found wasn't there or the file you deleted is still available. all i want is a restore pt on my mac. thoughts? what are my options?
your ONLY option is an external drive. there are lots of backup tools in OS x but all of them need an external source to store the backups.

PC died and in turn my main iTunes library. iPhone was synced to it. Now when I try to connect to another library it tells me the phone must be wiped clean before I can manage music with new library. Any way around that? Don't want to lose music.

My PC died and in turn so did my main iTunes library. My iPhone was synced to the library that is gone. Now when I try to connect to another library, it tells me the phone must be wiped clean before I can manage music with new library. Any way around that? I don't want to lose the music that is on my phone. I am looking for a way to tell the phone to "forget" the old library and let me start working with a new library.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything on the new one.
It sounds like you have failed to do this, which is not good at all.
You will have to transfer your itunes purchases from your iphone. Authorize your computer for your itunes account
About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization
Open itunes, plug in iphone, do NOT sync, click File>Transfer Purchases
When you do sync you will lose your pics ( photo library - synced from your old computer), your itunes content ( music, apps, videos,etc) , your contacts and your calendars. So do NOT sync yet. This is why a backup copy is so important.
Enter one unique contact and calendar entry on your computer.
When you first sync, you should get the option to merger the data. Choose it.
If you want your pics, then you will need to e-mail them to yourself before you sync. They will not be of the original quality as they are reduced when synced to iphone.
When all is as goos as it can be, then backup your computer, and always maintain the backup.

No. Make a backup first.

Any way around not using Desktop mamager?

Hi guys is there any way around not using the desktop manager?, I find it way too bloated for my slow computer, all I wanna do is transfer some mp3's to my phone.
Thanks.

Hello,
Yup -- if you've installed the Desktop Software and enabled Mass Storage Mode, then your BB should appear as another drive letter in Windows...and you can treat it just like any other USB drive.

IPhone 5c voice dial cannot be disabled after software update. Is there any way around this?

iPhone 5c voice dial cannot be disabled after software update. Is there any way around this?

Hi! It seems you found a bug on iOS 7.1
To disable Voice dials try this, (I saw in an iPhone website here in Brazil):
1. Turn on Siri (settings > General > Siri)
2. go to (Settings >Passcode > Voice Dial) trust me, it appears now
3. disable Voice Dial
4. go back and disable Siri
hope this could help you!!

I am trying to connect the iPad3 to the PC for HotSpotting reason (the ability to use the internet on the PC)
Turning on HOT SPOT on the Apple ipad works GREAT when using it through WI-Fi and through Blue Tooth. But connecting it directly through the included iPad 3 USB Cable to the USB side of the PC does NOT work. I tried several PCs, and several Cables. Any other ideas

Hello,
As far as slideshow is concerned, we have the option to control the transition speed in all the options (Basic, Blank, Lightbox and Thumbnails) out of which Basic and Balnk are the options which have Add image option and do not force you to use Thumbnails.
If you are specifically looking to use the Lightbox effect then I am afraid it does not allow you to get rid of the thumbnails. Reason being, we need a trigger for Lightbox effect to come up and these thumbnails are the triggers for it.
Hope this helps.

Sachin

HT201667 I rented a movie through itunes on my ipad and wanted to watch it with friends on a digital projector, but it wouldn't allow me to do it. Is there any way around this?

I rented a movie through itunes on my ipad and wanted to watch it with friends on a digital projector, but it wouldn't allow me to do it. Is there any way around this?

The issue was that a dialogue box came up which said that I couldn't play this movie on another device. I tried playing the same movie on an Tv with an HDMI connection attached to an adapter to the IPad and that worked. I wonder if the problem is that the digital projector has a VGA connection.

When I try to buy ibooks from my ipad, the virtual keyboard is not the same as my computer, and so as my password consists of numbers, letters and symbols my ipad keeps showing that my password is incorrect! Is there any way around this problem please?

Are you using the virtual keyboard to input your password and you cannot see/find the characters you need on that keyboard?
Or are you trying to use a bluetooth keyboard and pressing the printed key does not produce the right character?

Working on Win 8.1, Downloaded PSE 13, installed, and it asks me for login every time I start the software. Any way around this? I want to use PSE on a machine that will be permanently offline.

Any way around this? I want to use PSE 13 on a workstation that will be permanently offline. I spent hours with Adobe support and they suggested deleting a file called
opm.db in the following location
[System drive]:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
and then rename the oobe folder to new oobe folder
But then our chat session automatically terminated and that's as far as I got.
Will this work?
Will I still have full functionality?
Can someone help? Thanks!

Why are HP printer cartridges country specific? Is there any way around this?

I have just moved from the UK to Newfoundland, Canada and I have brought my HP PSC 1610 printer with me. I was advised not to bring any cartridges with me because they would explode during the flight so I had to buy new cartridges upon arrival.
I noticed that the cartridge numbers recommended for my printer were similar but not exactly the same but the (HP, etc.) websites I looked at did not mention that HP printer cartridges country specific.
In the UK black cartridge is an HP338 (C8765EE).
In Canada the websites told me that the black cartridge is a 94 (C8765WC).
I ordered a 94 cartridge (which took an indordinate amount of time to be delivered) and when I installed it my printer would not accept it ("not intended for use in this printer" error message) even though it fit perfectly. I looked at the packaging in greater detail and noticed that I had been sent a 94 (C8765WL) and I also noticed (in a very small font size) "for sale only in Latin America".
My questions are therefore:
1) Why are HP printer cartridges country specific?
2) Is there any way around this? Eg is there anything I can do to my printer/ laptop to tell it to accept this cartridge?
3) Are 94/ C8765WL cartidges compatible with 94/ C8765WC cartirdges? Ie did the supplier sell me something that couldn't be used even if I had a Canadian HP PSC 1610 printer?
4) Can I return the cartridges to the supplier given that it is based in Canada, they delivered it to me in Canada and yet they sold me a product that says "for sale only in Latin America"?
Thanks

You will need to Contact HP to request a "Regionalization Reset". There should not be any charge for this, it is covered as part of the cartridge warranty. You will need to have access to your computer and printer while on the line with HP. You will also need to have a set of cartridges for the new region, once the reset is complete cartridges from the original region will no longer work. HP's web page on the subject is here.

Likely a hardware issue... no way around that except to get it repaired or don't use it (the button).
Try restoring to solve the switching off problem.

hi,
Before archiving you have to put the Deletion flag for the object(May be for PO, MMR etc as per your req.)...
After that the you use the archiving procedure to archive the docs which are already flagged for deletion...
For MMR you use the transaction SARA...and its respective object for the archiving....
You can use the SDN search to see the many threads on it...
Or use this link as per your req. and make the search...
