Disable iDevice backup when using WLAN sync

Hi everyone,
when syncing an iPhone/iPad/iPod iTunes will automatically create a backup of the device which is nice. I usually sync via USB which is reasonably fast. But sometimes I use the option to sync wirelessly which is fast enough only if you skip the backup. I know that you could disable device backups using
defaults write com.apple.iTunes DeviceBackupsDisabled -bool true
but I would love to have the option to only disable backups while syncing via WLAN. Is there a way to do that?

I completely agree with you. The auto-backup is a horrible waste of time. I can understand doing it once a month, or maybe even once a week, but given the fact that EVERYTHING in iTunes is backed up in at least two ways without any user input (hard drive & iTunes purchasing record) this long and obnoxious step is several degrees past overkill.
I read the entire manual for the iPod Touch and all I found out was how to delete the backup. For some reason, there is no to turn off the auto-backup mentioned.
Are the iPod Touches really that unstable?

  • When using Firefox Sync on multiple devices, I used to be able to 'send' a tab from one computer to another. Is this still possible? If so, how?

    When using Firefox Sync on multiple devices, I used to be able to 'send' a tab from one computer to another. Is this still possible? If so, how?
    I don't mean the ability to see what tabs are open on another device (I know how to do this). But if I am at work and find something that I want to read at home, it would be helpful to 'send' the tab to my home PC so that when I return home, it will automatically open that tab for me.

    Can anyone help?

  • IPhone not recognized in iTunes when using WiFi sync

    I have found that my iPhone is frequently not recognized when using WiFi sync.  The only way to sync my phone when that happens is to use the old fashioned way--connect it to my computer via USB.  Then the phone is recognized and syncs fine.  The device shows even when I take my iPhone off power.  But when I close iPhone and later reopen it and plug in my iPhone to power, often it is not recognized.  I've tried everything I can think of but nothing works.
    Any ideas?

    I am having the same problem.  It was working just fine and then just mysteriously stopped showing up in iTunes (my iPad still shows up & syncs via wifi just fine--it is just my iPhone).  Someone please reply soon, this is driving me nuts! Thanks in advance!!

  • Disable print output when using bapi BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE

    Hello,
    I am using BAPI BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE to post material documents in our programs.
    I wish to prevent the print output of the documents created by the BAPI.
    Meaning - when the user post good movement using MIGO, there will be a printout of the movement, but if the movement is created using BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE, no output will be printed.
    I have tried sending blank values in fields VER_GR_GI_SLIP & VER_GR_GI_SLIPX in GOODSMVT_HEADER structure, but to no avail.
    Is there a way to disable printing ONLY when using the BAPI?
    Thank you very much.

    Hi,
    We cant restrict the print preview or print out of the material document. Once the condition record has maintianed for the material document, it ll applicable for all the material doc . It would be manual Gr or BAPI GR.
    In your case Print is coming automatically or user is taking the print !!

  • HT5105 I have been trying to create a multicam clip from two camera's. They sync properly when using the sync feature but not when I use the multicam feature does anyone know what I may be doing wrong?

    Probably best if you could post screen shots of the Inspecror window in extended view with a couple of the clips you using for the 2 angles.
    If you have audio from both cameras and have identified them separately, the sync is usually pretty reliable.

  • Disable finger input when using stylus

    Hi,
    It would be really very useful for those of us with Galaxy Notes to have an option to disable finger input when using the device's stylus. It could be that finger input should still be usable for pinch/zoom etc., but not for drawing or erasing.
    An on-screen toggle button for this would be ideal, as in the Galaxy S-Note app, but even an option in the app preferences would be excellent.
    This would make a great mobile app even better.
    Please add a comment if you would find this useful.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    I think this is a good idea, with the proviso (as you mentioned), that you could still use the two finger pan/zoom (and three finger 100% zoom toggle).
    Why don't you stick this in the ideas section? Then people can vote on it.

  • Cannot disable internet connection and use wlan co...

    my handset details are
     its made in hungary  software version is v 11.0.0.029 software date 11-08-10 rm612
    and there is no update availabe for my handset at the moment

    It sounds like you are using an unsupported App like "Jailbreak" which technically voids the warranty on your iPhone. Your call on that.
    If so, the app creates an "ad hoc" wireless network which the Airport Express cannot join or participate in. So, you cannot use both the AirPort Express and the "modem" function of your iPhone at the same time.
    You should be able to turn the app off and log off the internet, and then setup another separate wireless network to run AirTunes, or AirPlay. But, you'll have to "switch" wireless networks to be able to do this and the network will of course not have access to the Internet.

  • Can I keep a published/shared calendar current when using two synced macs?

    I have two macs, home and office, thinking about a laptop for travel as well, plus iPhone. I sync all the calendars with .mac which works nicely, then publish and share. But I am not publishing the .mac version, I am publishing the version on one of my machines, correct? If I change my calendar on another machine how do I get that change to propagate to the published version? Does the machine doing the publishing have to be on all the time? Do I continually republish from the new machine where I just made the change? What about people who subscribe to it, if it has the same name when I republish will their subscription stay current?
    Annoying that I cannot access and share the version of the calendar stored on apple servers and used to sync my machines.
    Need to resolve a few issues before bailing on Yahoo, but must hurry, the Borg Collective is going to assimilate them soon, and resistance is futile.
    Thanks for any advice.

    Posting 2006 and 2008 threads that are very outdated is not a good idea
    There is no way to "sync" iPhoto libraries
    There is software that Old Toad has tested that will sync the photos which may or may not help you
    You can easily manually move photos between libraries using iPhoto Library Manager with is probably the best solution

  • K3011w - How disable the touchpad when using USB mouse?

    Is there a way to disable the touchpad on the docking keybd when using a USB mouse? It is a real pain typing along and be in the middle of sentence some where else on the page.

    hi whippetguy,
    Thanks for Posting,
       The touchpad on the dock uses a Windows driver and does not have any special Software to Disable it via shortcut,
    How I found to go around on what you need is
      With the tablet on the dock with no USB mouse yet
                      Press (Windows key+x) and choose device manager on the list
                            On Device Manager window open mice and pointing device and rightclick disable
    This should disable the dock touchpad and Now you can plu in your USB mouse,
    Before you unplu your USB mouse after use, Go to device manager again and Enable the device you disabled.
    Hope this helps
    Cheers!

  • IPod arbitrarily deletes all music when using movie sync

    well well well. i lost all 20GB of my music on ipod when selecting 'sync movies'. i now have a smart playlist called 'music videos' with nothing in it and an empty music library. having had what could best - and most politely - be described as a nightmare when using 'sync music', i most definitely did not have that option checked.
    any advice on possible retrieval? i don't have my previous music on my computer, i depended on my ipod, as i've not memory to play with.
    OR - any way i can get compensation for this fault? as you can imagine, it tooks many days of diligent importing form hard copies to get it done.

    Hi Andrew;
    You might get more replies if you post your question over on the iPod forum.

  • OU For Lync 2013 Central Forest deployment when using GAL Sync

    Hello,
    We are attempting to set up Lync 2013 in a Central Forest configuration. We have a 2 way forest trust in place. The primary forest being A.com, the secondary forest being B.com. Exchange 2010 is deployed in both forests. Lync 2013 is deployed in forest A.com.
    We currently have FIM 2010 installed, using GAL Sync between both forests. For GAL Sync, we have an OU in Forest A.com active directory called GALSync. There are currently contacts in that OU that correspond with the user accounts in forest b.com. Here's
    my question:
    When configuring FIM MA's for Lync 2013 Central Forest deployment, can I point the LCSCFG.xml file to the SAME GALSync OU we use for  GAL Sync? Will it see the contacts already exist and just update with the necessary attributes needed to provision
    the forest B.com users for Lync? Do I need to create a separate OU for the Lync MA to use? Or, am I going about this in the wrong way?
    Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you

    Thanks for the reply Anthony
    Almost right. The only difference is that the remote users will get the autodiscover url and the ews url from their local domain and dns.
    Here is how it is setup:
    Shared public namespace           
    mycompany.com (email address and sip address use this in both domains)
    Central Forest (mycompany.com)
    Lync 2013
    Exchange 2013
    Autodiscover url              
    autosdiscover.mycompany.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml             
    192.168.10.10
    EWS Url                               
    https://mail.mycompany.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx                      
    192.168.10.11
    Remote Forest (Fabrikam.com)
    Lync 2010
    Exchange 2010
    Autodiscover url              
    autosdiscover.mycompany/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml       
    192.168.11.23
    EWS Url                               
    https://mail.mycompany.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx                      
    192.168.11.24
    User in Fabrikam login locally with their Fabrikam credentials. They have a Lync enabled contact in mycompany. There is a 2 way trust in place. They login to mycompany Lync fine.
    When they do the autodiscover DNS lookup, they return the same autodiscover and EWS url, but they point to the local Exchange 2010 since their mailbox and user account still resides there and that is the system that the Fabrikam account has access to.
    Autodiscover works fine for Outlook.
    I will take a look at Fiddler

  • Custom contact ringtones removed when using Hotmail sync

    I sync my Hotmail contacts with my iPhone.  Every so often, custom ringtones that I've assigned to various contacts are removed from the contact ... kicking it back to the default ringtone. I'm guessing it's a problem in that Hotmail doesn't recognize them.  And when manually (?) synced, Hotmail and/or the iOS remove them due to attribute incompatibility.  Should and/or can Apple developers fix their software to accomodate this?

    And upon upgrading to the (current) iOS 6 ... the custom ringtones and text alerts have once again disappeared.

  • Nexus 5500 - unexplainable mutual-exclusion error when using "conf sync" mode

    We have 2 Nexus 5548UP switches which are running NX-OS 7.0(5)N1(1).
    I'm trying to reconfigure an interface, which was previously configured in conf t (local) mode on both switches, in conf sync mode.
    Original config:
    conf t:
    interface Ethernet104/1/33
    inherit port-profile DevServers
    I've changed the configuration so that the vlan was manually configured and the port-profile was removed from the interface. Otherwise, it was not possible to configure a Port-profile inheritance in conf sync mode (as this was in conflict with the config in local mode).
    Current config:
    conf t:
    interface Ethernet104/1/33
    switchport access vlan 13
    However, when I try to configure a PP inheritance for this interface in conf sync mode, I'm getting the same error as if there were a conflict:
    conf sync:
    interface Ethernet104/1/33
    inherit port-profile DevServers
    commit
    Failed: Verify Failed
    Status: Verify Failure
    Error(s):
    Following commands failed mutual-exclusion checks:
    interface Ethernet104/1/33
            inherit port-profile DevServers
    When I configure another interface (not in use) with exactly the same configuration (so access vlan 13 in conft mode on both switches, and then a PP inheritance in conf sync mode), it is accepted and the configuration is correct. It looks like something is stuck within the NX-OS switch which makes it believe that the PP inheritance is still configured in conf t mode...
    I've had this issue before on another interface, and found somewhere on the internet that the NX-OS keeps an internal database, which is mysteriously not always in sync with the current running-config, and that this could be forece manually with the command "resync-database" in conf-sync mode. On that other interface, this resolved the issue, but this time, it does not work and I keep getting the above error when I want to configure the port-profile.
    Any suggestions?

    Ok... I found the source of the problem (looks to be buggy behaviour).
    Here's my recent blog post that covers a detailed description and a fix/workaround:

    Hope this will help anyone.

  • Backups when using flashback recovery

    Sorry I searched on this but found no hits.
    Perhaps I'm confused but would appreciate if anyone could enlighten me.
    If the flashback recovery area is configured on ASM how do you backup to tape when the OS can not 'see' anything other than the physical drive?

    Do not forget that , once you are using ASM to store your database files , RMAN is the only method for performing backups of your database.
    you then have to configure SBT channels (with vendor specific parameters) to do your backup on tape ; note that all this is very simple if you use a network backup server such Legato Networker ...

  • Disable auto-scroll when using shape tool in full screen

    I have a task that requires tracing in full screen mode on an image that is exactly the same size and resolution as the screen.  Unfortunately when I draw shapes near the edges the screen scrolls even though there is nothing more to show.  This makes me have to move the screen back into alignment over and over, or settle on using paint tools only near the edges.
    Does anyone know how to turn off this "feature"?
    Thanks!!

    I am in the middle of a similar task and am having the same prolem. Please does any one know how to turn scrolling off?
