First Time Setup Sync

Hello,
I have just taken delivery of my shiny new 3GS but am stuck at work!!!
I want to get going ASAP but dont want to connect my phone to my work PC for the first sync if it will cause long term problems... Does anyone know if it matters which PC it is connected to for the first sync?
Chris

No, it doesn't matter. Note than any music you load at work will be erased when you sync at home. If you just want to activate it, go for it, then add your content at home. Have fun!

  • Problems with first time setup

    Hi to all and please be kind to this new applee.  I am vary familar with Windows but not Apple.
    I am having problems with first time setup.  Choice wifi network ZAJ34 has full connectino bars but requires a password to connect with it.  Tried to use "Connect to iTunes" and plugged in the USB cable.  Windows7 ran ok and "MyComputer\Apple iPod" shows up in Explorer.  All I get to is the screen that shows the cable pointing to the music symbol.  I am new to Applie iPod so I am totally lost.  I have the Apple iPod touch 8GB Black (4th Generation) CURRENT MODEL.
    Operating System - iPod touch User Guide (For iOS 5.1 Software) downloaded, not sure.
    Thanks

    I find this,
    Before restoring:
    Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes. [How?  I am not past selecting a network.]
    Back up your device. [Do not know how, again, I am not past selecting a network.]
    Transfer and sync content to your computer. [Hooked up the USB cable and nothing happens.]
    Restoring your iOS device
    Connect your device to your computer. [Hooked up the USB cable and nothing happens.]
    Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices. Select the Summary tab, and click the Restore button. [iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices, is it in Control Panel.  I looked in Device Manager and so only drivers etc.

    The first time I synced my iphone 4 with my mac, I didn't realize that all of my photos from the iphoto library would transfer over to the phone (more than 3,000).   Now, I need to remove some, as they are taking up too much space.  I cannot figure out how to remove them from the phone.  I tried to uncheck boxes and sync again, but I get a message that there is no room on the iphone.  I've read as many articles as I can find, but still cannot manage this.  Thanks for any help.

    Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want, sync

    Some apps that you download on your iPhone may possibly be to new for the iPod touch 2nd gen. I have a iPhone 5 and a iPod touch 2nd generation myself. If you plug his ipod into iTunes and restore it from a backup of your iPhone than it will download the paid apps and music that are compatible with his ipod. Hope this helps.

  • Revert to first time setup after updates to 10.4.11 ??

    Just sold my G4 450 Dual and I offered to do a fresh install of 10.4.11 but I don't know how to get there from original 10.4 disks. Is there a way to start up , enter info, get online and do updates, then revert to first-time setup with the welcome screen??

  • How to go back to first time setup assistant?

    Hi, 1st time mac user.  I just missed to migrate my PC data to my MBA during the first time setup.  As I wanted to keep my mails and it's setting from my PC to the initial mac user account, is restoring my MBA to it's factory setting the only way?
    Please help!

    Thanks!  The url does offer excellent advice.
    In the end, I did a clean install (factory default) and start all over again.
    Since then, I've been pretty much disarray as I found out half of my outlook mails didn't get port over.

  • IPad 2 7.0.4 randomly goes back into first time setup

    I have had my iPad 2 for 2 years now and I've been very happy with it, however last week I installed 7.0.4 and it forced my iPad to go into the first time setup (like what you see when you restore) and I lost all my settings, but I thought it was a one time thing the update wanted. Now, I picked it up and it wanted to go over the setup again, and again it deleted all my settings and apps. No one has touched it other than me, and the last time I used it was to listen to some music yesterday. The iPad had 75% battery when I picked it up and at no time did the battery die on it. This is very frustrating and it all started when I updated to 7.0.4.
    Has anyone else see this and if so what can I do to stop it?

    Back it up and restore it through iTunes.

  • First time bookmark sync to Safari: keep phone bookmarks

    I would like to do a first-time bookmark sync with Safari via iTunes. Currently bookmark sync is disabled. When I did this on another phone, it wiped out all my existing bookmarks on the phone, much to my chagrin as I didn't even have any bookmarks in Safari (I don't really use it).
    Is there any way to specify that the bookmarks from mobile Safari on the phone should be kept rather than the ones in Safari, or at least some kind of merge behavior?

    Here's to still hoping someone out there has the answer...

  • TM - first time setup - no back disk listed

    I am trying to setup my time machine for the first time. But when I clicked on the "Choose Backup Disk" option, there were no disks listed. I also had an external disk attached but still was not recognized. Both my internal and external disks were not listed. Does anybody know why this is so? Can anybody help?
    Thanks so much in advance!

    Your drive needs to be formatted correctly. To do so, open *Disk Utility* located in Utilities, and select you external drive you want to use. Then select the erase tab and choose the "Volume Format:" as *Mac OS Extended (Journaled)*. Then click "Erase..." (Note: This will erase all data of your selected drive). Upon completing the reformat, Time Machine should automatically ask you if you want to use the disk as the backup drive. If not, then go back to the Time Machine System Preference and select the drive now.

  • First time hot sync problems

    I've had to reinstall palm and hot sync applications for a tungsten E2 handheld. When I try to do the hot sync for the first time, it askes me for my handhelds password.  When I type in what I know is the correct password, it is not accepted. I've double checked what the password is, it just won't accept it, any suggestions?

    Are there any Capital Letters in the password?

  • Skype always starts as first time setup

    Hello Skype Community,
    Quite recently my skype started behaving wierd. Everytime I boot my PC skype starts (as usual). Normally it logs in automaticly, because the auto sign in option is selected however it did not.
    When I logged in it looked exactly like the time when I started skype for the first time (setting up a mic, webcam and profile picture etc.). And it seems to do it EVERY time I log in to skype (and everytime my PC boots).
    I assume its something with my antivirus, because the problem occured when I changed it (I moved from avast free version to Malwarebyte premium version).
    Is there a way to solve it?
    Thanks in advance!
    Hidde

    The behaviour in the latest Skype 7.8 version has now changed. Skype does no longer remember the last connection status. When restarted manually, it will always start with Online status, regardless what status was set when Skype was closed last time. http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Skype-forgets-last-online-status-when-signing-in/m-p/4085542#M363164 I have not yet tested how Skype behaves when set to start when Windows starts, but also the Away status might be the new "feature" of the latest Skype 7.8 version.

  • NB305 first time setup display too big for screen

    I just bought an NB305-310 netbook  (two, actually, and the first one had no trouble). It came loaded with Windows XP.  When I turned it on I wasn't able to set it up right away, when I came back to it, I found the display of the welcome screens and the setup process assistant is too big for the screen, as if it thinks it has to fill a 15" or 17" screen instead of 10".  So I can't see to click on the "I agree" box or the "Next" button etc., so can't proceed through the setup.
    I already tried restarting it a couple times (by holding down the power key, since Control-Alt-Delete didn't do anything).  I also tried using the function key with various keys that looked like they might affect display size but no change.  Even the volume function keys didn't change the volume of the setup background music that plays.
    How can I fix this?
    Thank you!

    Try this. Press Alt + Spacebar to open the control menu (which may be off the screen) at the top-left of a window.
    Then press M (for Move).
    That will enable you to move the window using the arrow keys.
    When you get the chance, you'll want to go here and reset the screen resolution to 1024 x 600.

    hi TA
    you could go through the link below to know how BRTOOLS works in SAP system
    Re: Reg:BRtools on distributed system
    1. Could you please let us know whether you have a distributed ( SAP and database running on different physical server) system or a cebtral system?
    2. >1. In Production BR Tools working file, so I have to setup in QA system, I just change init<SID>.sap profile path C:\oracle\BQA\database\initBQA.sap
    Sorry, I could not understand. Why did you change the path?  Where did you change ?
    BRTOOLS executables will be there in usr/sap/SYS/exe/run folder. You will find exec like brarchive.exe
    brrestore.exe ,brbackup.exe, brconnect.exe, brspace.exe etc. When you invoke the command "BRTOOLS" from the command prompt those are the executable actually work for you.
    Revert back the changes whatever you made and then invoke "BRTOOLS" from command prompt of database server ( login as SIDADM)

  • Have new ipad2 1st time setup sync etc went without a hitch. Now whole system crashes

    Now every time I connect the ipad to the computer the system crashes.  I get a long message starting with windows shutting down to prevent damage to computer.  Have followed procedures like system restore to the date before 1st sync, opend in safe mode, checked bios for updates etc but none of these actions have stopped the system crashing.  What can I do now?

    I'd make appointment with Apple genius and detail everything that you have done, the error message you are getting and the crash.  It might be more than you'll find a solution for here.
