Each time I sync, the BBC iPlayer springboard shortcut comes back

A web shortcut on the Springboard, not the iPlayer app.
Where is the shortcut hiding within iTunes so that it doesn't come back each time I sync?

OK so we are talking about the Home screen Yes ?( never ever heard anyone refer to it as Springboard )
You have I assume the iPlayer app icon showing up on the home page screen .Yes
Do you actually know anything about how the iPhone works because you are not really making sense

I updated to iOS 5.0. Now each time I sync the "other" category of memory grows. It is now up to 7.5 GB and I don't have room for videos.

I updated to iOS 5.0. Now each time I sync the "other" category of memory grows. It is now up to 7.5 GB and I don't have room for videos. I deleted a .3 GB video and the tried to put it back on. Now it says the memory is full. It seems to not release memory once something is deleted.

You need to restore your iPad now since "other" continues to grow with each sync. Something got corrupted when you were syncing and that is what probably caused this. This will explain how to restore.

You can restore from a backup at the very end of the process - but if you restore from the backup and then the problem does not go away, you will have to restore to factory settings and then add all of your content back onto the device.
BTW ... Other contains all of your app data, bookmarks, contacts, emails, text messages, some game save data and things of that nature.

How can I prevent the settings on iMessage from changing each time I sync the devices with iTunes on our iMac?

Each time I sync an apple device (iPad, iPad mini, iPhone) with iTunes on our iMac the settings on iMessage and phone settings change. We use the same Apple ID and have different e-mail addresses and phone numbers; however, each time a device is sync'd on iTunes on our iMac, the iMessage settings and phone settings are changed so that we all each get each other's text messages and phone calls. After the device is sync'd/charged, I have to go into each device (all of them somehow update when only one is sync'ing) and re-set the settings to what we want. How can I prevent settings from being changed each time?

Okay I've tried safe mode. Let it run down to 98%, plugged it in, locked the screen, and waited. A few minutes later, the screen came on showing the 100% icon at the top right, full battery icon just to the left of the time, 100% text to the left of that.
I'm not going to do a hard reset until I have confirmation that this is not normal behavior for the phone because that's going to take hours of my time and gigabytes of data transfer to get all of my media and apps back on the phone and configured.
After all my griping, I do have to give credit where it's due. This phone is much more efficient than my Galaxy Nexus. I left the S5 running in WiFi hotspot mode while on battery last night. It still had over 50% left on the battery. The Galaxy Nexus would be stone dead after about 4 hours. I can live with that if I have to but I'd really rather be able to leave it on the charger at night.

How can I remove Podcasts downloaded directly into the I-Phone from the phone and I Tunes, right now every time I sync the two old podcasts keep coming back

I have downloaded 2 podcasts directly to my iPhone over WIFI, the problem is that I cannot get rid of these two podcasts. Every time I sync with my computer these two old podcasts keep coming back. Is there a way to erase them from the phone?

I had this issue with my iPhone - drove me nuts. Tried everything.
It appears to be an issue with a persistent file in the Purchases folder in the iPhone/iPad directory, which I could only access with a file browsing utility (iBrowse). Once installed you can browse to the Purchases folder and delete all the entries.
Check the box in iTunes to Manually Manage Music and then delete the grey U2 tracks.
Sync and they'll be gone
Fixed!

Is your problem with streaming audio broadcasts to and are you outside the UK ?
If so you may have fallen prey to the BBC's Content Distribution Network which often seems to produce problems they keep re-issuing advice such as:

I have the newest version of itunes 11.1.3.8. I have one song that i want moved from itunes to my iphone WITHOUT erasing my iphone playlists which happens each time i sync. please help

I have the newest version of itunes 11.1.3.8. I have uploaded a CD into my itunes library. I would like to add one song only to my iphone. I have created playlists on my iphone and each time I sync all of my iphone playlists get erased and I have to recreated them. after the sixth time, I am very hesitant to do any kind of syncing. Is there a way to just move one song without syncing? I have read some posts that talk about this but have not been able to do it. For example, the "summary tab" does not exist on my version of itunes. I tried drag and drop on itunes as explained in their help section but that did not move the song to my iphone. Please help

You are probably running OS 10.4 or 10.5 on a PPC Mac. No version of iTunes higher than 10.6.3 is available for these older Macs. I have the same problem, and while I can still use the PPC to sync my iPod, it can't be used to sync an iPhone 4 or higher. The only solution, as I discovered after upgrading to the iPhone 4, is to buy a newer Mac. I was able to get a 2006 MacBook running Lion for under $300, and that has been a lifesaver.

HELP! Why do my iPad Photos Scramble each time I Sync?

HELP! Each time I sync my iPad photos, my previous albums' organization scrambles (the order I've arranged my photo albums scrambles).
THIS IS WHAT I DO: On my iPad, I tap the PHOTOS app, then tap ALBUMS to see each of the albums I've created. I then tap EDIT in the upper right hand corner. I then painstakingly try to place all my many albums in the order that I'd like them to remain on my iPad. Then I tap DONE in the upper right hand corner.
However, EVERY TIME I sync my iPad, this order completely scrambles back to what I can only decifer is the time-line (order by calendar date) in which I created the albums. Aargh! So frustrating!
I am a Fine Artist (camille-engel.com)... I use my iPad primarily for work. I'd like my ART photos remain at the top for easy, quick access... and I'd like my 'family" & 'personal' photos to be at the bottom. This should be how the iPad photos app should function. Am I doing something wrong?
I look forward to your replies and excitedly await a SOLUTION to this frustrating problem. Thanks!

Oh... and just so you know I work from a MAC OS X, version 10.5.8 computer, syncing to my iPad.

How can I download TV programmes from the BBC iplayer. Is there an app for ipad that does this?

I have an ipad 2. I have BBC iplayer. The programme stops and starts as the broadband cannot cope with the streming. The solution is to download the programme from the BBC iplayer and into the ipad 2 for viewing later without all that mucking about with the streaming bit.
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to download a programme from the BBC iplayer into an ipad 2? If there is an application that does this what is it?
Many thanks to you all.

There is no iPad app to do this - the BBC's television license agreement wouldn't allow it.
There are desktop programs which will download programmes from BBC iPlayer which you can then sync to the iPad via iTunes, but technically they also operate against the terms of the iPlayer license. Google will help you find them.

Birthday duplication each time I sync to my laptop.

When I sync from my Palm Treo to my desktop with with windows XP there is no problem, but when I sink the same palm to my laptop using Vista it duplicates the birthdays in Outlook calander. Each time I sync, it adds another entry for the same birthday.
Post relates to: Treo 755p (Verizon)

I am no longer duplicating but, the duplicate birthdays are not going away. I am manually telling the laptop to let the handheld override the laptop
and to let the handheld win. Each time it completes I get a message that that there are notes in the log from the hotsync. When I go to the notes,
it shows "HotSync sessin completed with errors on 7/30/08. Each Outlook theme below like Calender, Contacts etc all say synchronization aborted.
The only successful theme was "Media". These are the only notes in the log that I see. Could this be the reason?

How can i stop icloud from downloading all my photos onto my iphone 4s each time I sync. Then, how do I delete them from my phone, there are no delete options. I'm slowly going crazy.

Hi iprover,
Let me first say that I am NO EXPERT with anything Apple and really have only started looking into this iCloud stuff a few hours ago because I'm trying to help my mom free up some space on her iCloud. But anyway, here's what I'm learning and what I THINK might be happening to you.
Also, if any Apple support people (do they browse the forums to dish out helpful hints?) or people who probably know infinitely more than me about this stuff, please do chime in and confirm / correct my statements!
This is what I gather.
iCloud for Windows is set up with a local folder (let's call it "C:\Users\Administrator\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream") where iCloud will store photos uploaded to the Photo Stream. This will allow you to view your Photo Stream photos on your PC.
This does not mean that this is a PC backup of your Photo Stream photos, but just a way to view your Photo Stream from your PC. That being said, the general Photo Stream rules apply: 1. No videos are on the photo-stream, and 2. Photos on the Photo Stream will be removed after ~30 days and/or after hitting the Photo Stream limit of 1000 photos.
My guess is that the iCloud Windows App will delete photos from the local folder that are older than ~30 days and/or delete all but the most recent 1000 items if the 1000-item limit is reached.
That is a scary thought! I really hope you did not lose all your pictures, but my guess is that the iCloud local folder is NOT meant for backup but instead is the iCloud Windows App's sandbox for updating and managing Photo Stream photos.
All that being said, I'd say it's important to back up your photos in a separate folder not related to the iCloud local folder.

Why, when I sync my iPhone does it always take all my apps out of their neat sorted little boxes of twelve Apps organised by a commonality and rearrange them over a dozen screens in random order? Each time I sync, I have a 1hr long task of relocating apps

Why, when I sync my iPhone does it always take all my apps out of their neat sorted little boxes of twelve Apps organised by a commonality and rearrange them over a dozen screens in random order? Each time I sync, I have a 1hr long task of relocating apps.
Why no tleave them spread out I hear you ask... That is not practicable. I then have 12 pages to scan rather than just two. I need a solution... :-P

I realize this is an old thread but I'm having the same problem after upgrading my software today. Kinda surprised there are no solutions at all with 88 views. I have an iPod touch btw, not an iPhone, but it prob wouldn't make much difference in this case.
The thing is, I get the screen(s) looking EXACTLY as I want on iTunes...just perfect (which is what I believe everyone else is experiencing as well). When we go to sync tho, it does whatever it wants to do. After syncing, all the apps are there, it's just that for me, it puts them in some type of random order. I have 72 apps and this is absolutely ridiculous!
Thanks in advance for any fixes anyone might have...

New version of Firefox is hanging when trying to play a file from the BBC iPlayer

When trying to click on the 'Play' button on the BBC iPlayer site http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/radio/categories/drama, Firefox hangs and does not allow me to click on anything else on any of the open tabs.
If I use the task master to close Firefox and then try to reopen it, I get a message saying that it is already open. Only restarting the computer will allow me to start it again.

do some working around, remove the old version, download the latest version from mozilla official, and do the new install, and install the addons. update problems are more than you can think over, so just do a new complete for sure. update sometimes is really time wasting......

Why can I not remove music and why are my purchased songs being duplicated each time I sync??

So I'm not sure if this is unique but I have a couple of things going on.
1st issue: I have a iphone 4s. Itunes on my desktop. Some music purchased from the desktop is on my iphone and I cannot remove it. I've checked "manually manage music". I've selected only the playlists I want. It will not delete the purchased music.
2nd issue: Each time I sync it pulls only the purchased music from my iphone and adds it to my music library. And each time it does that, it's adding another copy of the purchased songs into my music folder. I tried a variety of options, synced 7 times, and ended up with 7 copies of each purchased song. I've triedso many different things I'm thinking the only thing left is to do a reset. Or possibly reinstalling itunes completely. I've unchecked "copy files to itunes media folder when adding to library" and unchecked each of the songs from the library.Very frustrating!
Any suggestions would really be appreciated!

Thanks, randers4.
Unchecking the individual songs from the iTunes music library does indeed remove the songs from my iPhone. However, this is quite tedious given the number of albums I want to remove. Isn't this supposed to be easier done by "unchecking" the Genre or the specific Album using the Devices/My iPhone/Music tab?
Does this work for you (or anyone else)? My aim is to identify the most efficient method of doing this.
Thanks,
MLawson

Each time i sync with itunes, itunes creates a back up...

each time i sync with itunes, itunes creates a back up...
how avoid it ?

Your kidding, right? You really don't have 1gb or so left on your computer? I'm surprised your computer runs at all with that little space left. You really shouldn't exceed 70% of capacity if you expect things to run normally.
Do this, get a thumdrive, copy your iphone backup folder to the thumbdrive & then delete the CONTENTS, not the folder itself from your hard drive. The backup folder can be found here:
* Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
* Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
* Windows Vista: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

Each time I sync, the BBC iPlayer springboard shortcut comes back
