Can I host my music or photos on a server and still sync with my iPhone and iPad through my MacBook Pro?
My new MacBook Pro does not have enough room on the Flash drive to hold all my photos and music. So I want to save them to a server, yet still be able to sync with iTunes on my MacBook Pro. Any ideas?
Nevermind. I see you can change the location of your music files. I'll try that.

I recently got a new laptop, it has no music on it and I have been plugging my iPod in and listening to music that way. Tonight it decided to sync with my iTunes and deleted all of my music. Is there any way I can get my music back?

I can load a CD on to my PC - iTunes but when I sync with my iPhone 5s the CD does not load onto my iPhone 5S.
Help!You can sort your library by adding a Sorting info in the File Info. Select a file in iTunes U, press cmd + i, choose Sorting Tab. For example add a Sort Name. For each file you have to put a value into that field, I did it with 01, 02, 03 .. 12. I do not know if this works if you select multiple files, but I did not try.
The next time you sync your device, your files will be in order. It' ve tested it on an iPad2.
If you ask me, there must be a better solution for that problem as the files have a track number saved in the info as well, and it is quite annoying to add the sorting order manually. -
Since installing mavericks, my computer calendar does not sync with my iPhone and iPad calendars. My iPhone and iPad are synced however. What can I do to make all of my mac devices sync
You don't sync the MM calendar anymore, you subscribe to it in iCal,
iCal>Preferences>Accounts, enter the details here.
MM should be the default calendar on all clients. -

You can disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and use the external Adobe Reader application or Preview application instead.
*Firefox > Preferences > Applications > Adobe PDF document : Use Adobe Reader

Hi, I deleted my backup of Photos and the only place I had the photos were on my old phone and when I connected to download the photos I synced and the library on the computer is now on the phone and my old photos are gone...Can they be recovered?
Sorry, Photo Library photos are not contained in the iPhone backup so restoring from the backup won't recover these photos. (They aren't backed up because they are assumed to already be on your computer since that's where they were synced from in the first place.) I'm afraid there's no way to get them back unless they were backed up somewhere esle on your computer. (What you experienced is one reason why I have automatic syncing disabled in iTunes. If you want to do this so you have more control over when your phone is synced, go to iTunes preferences, on the devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".)

My music won't sync with my iPhone (and several other problems)
My music has all disappeared from my iphone - the playlist names are still there, but the playlists are empty. and all my songs are in the library, but they all have the dowload from cloud button by them, but they arent on my actual phone. I'm not sure what the cause is because it could be a few different things... I got a new mac for christmas, so today was the first time I was using my new computer, and I also downloaded the new update on my phone today. After the update, my old apple id showed up, when I changed the email address on that id months ago. I deleted that account after reading some forums on here, and signed in with the current email and password for my apple ID. After that, the music wouldnt go on my phone. Also, it says I dont have room on the cloud, even though I do, and wont back up to icloud. I restored my phone and used my last updated back up (again, using advice from a different forum) to see if that would help, and it did not. Very frustrating because I have spent a LOT of money on music. Help?! Im trying to avoid an hour and 45 min drive to my nearest apple genius bar.
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar.
To sync to your iPod go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device and follow the instructions. Are yu following those instructions?
Does the iTunes see the iPod? If not:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows -
In my iTunes library, I have grouped together several different singles into an album together. Everything works just as expected within iTunes, the singles are grouped together as an album, are shown as an album when I search for the ablum, etc. However, when I sync my iPhone and the music is transfered, the album that I just made is not shown, instead, the individual songs are transfered to my phone with their original album information (e.g. "- Single") instead of the album name that I have them under in my iTunes library. To complicate the issue further, I have several albums like this and some are transfered to my iPhone just as they are shown in my library while the others are broken and shown under their original album information. Any suggestions? I'm running the latest versions of both iTunes and iOS.

Photos from Win XP will not Sync with 3G iphone what am I doing wrong
Need some help, just got the iphone and the only thing I can't understand is how to transfer my photos from my PC to the phone. I understand I use Itunes and point it to the folder/photo I want to sync. Itunes goes through it optimizing 1 of 29 photos (only doing 29 photos to start) but then when I go to the phone I have the normal Camera Roll Album and one folder listed. In the folder listed is only one photo which is all messed up.
I understand the phone takes photos and displays photos at one res, and I thought Itunes doesn't care what res the photo from the PC is cause it optimizes it to be viewed on the phone.
What am I missing ? and what is this folder that keeps being built ipod photo cache. Any help would be wonderful and yes I did read the "Iphone User Guide" that came with the phone.Not sure what the issue is that you are having. Sounds like you are doing the right thing.
You point iTunes to a folder that contains pictures (or more subfolders that contain pictues...1 subfolder deep). Then tell it to sync. iTunes does its "optimize" thing. Then they sync over. Each subfolder in that folder you pointed to becomes a library.
eg:
C:\PHOTOS you point it to.
C:\PHOTOS\FAMILY
C:\PHOTOS\WORK
C:\PHOTOS\FRIENDS
C:\PHOTOS\WALLPAPER
C:\PHOTOS\MISC
are all under it.
Each of those becomes a library on the iPHone (Family, Work, friends, etc)
Photos from those folders go to phone (and photos from the root you pointed it to).
The extra folder it makes (think it tries to mark it hidden unless you have it set to show hidden files) is just stuff for iTunes to keep track (like HASH data and other stuff) to know what it has synced so it can tell what is new and what is old if you add more photos or folders later.
I have some huge images on my PC that I sync over without issue. iTunes scales them down when syncing to the phone (the whole optimize stuff).

Why are my key photos of my events in iphoto on the mac not syncing with my iphone and ipad?
anyone?
Since iPhoto can handle 1,000,000 photos probably not
a wild guess is event sort - view menu ==> sort event
If you give us some details we can help - what version of iPhoto and of the OS? How much free space do you have on your hard drive?
what exactly are you seeing happen? any error messages? any recent changes?

I am very reluctantly considering upgrading to Lion and going ahead and migrating MobileMe to iCloud before June 2012. If I upgrade and migrate, will I still be able to sync my 2nd generation iPod Touch via USB cable? Or will these changes force me to get a new iPod that can run iOS 5 because syncing will be nightmarish?
Thanks for your reply. I would prefer to keep using this iPod for a while yet. Cheers!

My iphone and ipad are stil synchronized but Calendar does not sync with Outlook since I upgraded the PC to windows 8.1
You may answer in English, Italian or French...
Thanks for Help!!!All I had to do was complain. I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store. I have no idea why.

I see conflicting information about Firefox for Mac OS. It works on my Mac Desktop computer running OS X.
What is the official position?
If Firefox is not available for iPhone and iPad, is such a product in the pipeline?Sorry, Mozilla has no plans for a version of Firefox for iOS devices. As far as the Firefox Sync service, Mozilla discontinued the app for iOS devices awhile ago, but [https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bookmarks-on-the-go/id550037184?mt=8 Bookmarks on the Go app] took over what Mozilla had created for iOS and the Sync service. Unfortunately Firefox 29 has a new version of Sync that isn't backwards compatible, so Bookmarks on the Go will need to be updated to work with the new Sync version.
I think the major problem between Apple iOS and Mozilla is Apple's "walled garden" approach to software running on their devices and Mozilla's open source approach to software. -
