Have apple tried to make the syncing of 2 iphone on 1 imac as difficult as possible? My nokia is a doddle. I cant back up my wifes 3gs without entourage. I iponed up a seperte log in on my imace and it still says my wifes is prev synced with another itunr

By the looks of it I'm having the same problem as lots of people. Apple seem to have made the system of syncing and backing  up 2 iphones as difficult as possible. I have just bought an iphone4 and synced it to my imac. I now have my wife's apps and content. Now when it try to back up my wife's phone using a seperate log in on my imac and a new itunes install I'm asked " do you want to sync and erase all of the details on my wifes phone or do I want to erase and sync and loose all her data. No option not to!!!!   I thought it was maybe the inset of dementure but lots of people are having the same problem. How hard can it be to back up one phone at a time and only that phone?  Backing up my Nokia was a doddle!   I thought Apple were well know for. making things easy?  I have also tried backing up my wife's to a seperate itunes but you cant export her contacts etc unless I have office and entourage which I don't. I cant back up her phone as it is with all it content and apps and start from scratch as I get only the sync and erase and destroy option.  AAAGGGHHH

1) authorize iTunes on your wife's user account for her iTunes store account(s)
2) connect the device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred her purchases in the previous step, your content will be in her library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.

  • I have been trying to make the screen saver on my iMac 27" to work with no results. I change the settings and don't work neither. Please I need help

    Since I bought this 27" IMac desktop I've been changing the settings for the screen saver and has been impossible to make it work. My screen goes black and no screen saver. I have try everything, If anyone can help me with this issue I really appreciate. thanks

    first of all the only purpose for screensaver since we moved to LCD panels is if you think it look pretty
    the old tube crt screens would get the image they displayed for a very long time burned into the phosphor
    that being said then make sure your Energy Saver is not set to turn off the screen before or the same time as the screensaver is suppose to kick in

  • I have a long-existing iPhone 4s with one apple id and started a job where I received a macbook with another apple id. how do i get my phone to sync with the Mac Pro and secondly how do i get my music on there?

    No not bothered about sycing apps etc it is all about calendars and maybe notes. IN terms of how its done I just want it the easiest way and preferably so that if an entry is made on one calendar then it populates the other.
    Thgius is beacuse I have my work diary on outlok, which I then link with my ical. I want to make sure that information is then shared with her.

    I have been trying to get the full version of lightroom after using a trial version but it says something about "GB" ? And i need to log into different account or set up a new one? Please help?

I have a red bubble above "my cart" with a number 4 in it to show there is something there but there is not? It just wont let me buy anything?

  • I tried to update the software for my iPhone 4S. It froze, and now won't turn off, or on, or sync.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

    I tried to update the software for my iPhone 4S, 16 GB to the most recent version (8.1?).  I don't know what I was updating from, because I can't access that, but it was whatever was installed on it (I got it about a year ago, so probably 6.something). 
    It froze, and now won't turn off, or on, or sync with my macbook plus, which is what I have always sync'd it to.  (I backed it up and sync'd it right before I tried to update the software.)
    Since it originally froze almost 3 hours ago, it shows a white screen with the apple on it and a line underneath.  When I try to sync with my laptop, it says it needs me to enter a passcode on the phone, which I can't enter because the screen is frozen.  So I'm unable to access the iPhone portion of iTunes.
    I have tried to turn it off, with no luck.  I have tried rebooting my laptop and syncing, but I still get the same result.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    I really wanted to wait to update the software, but I was having internet connectivity issues for the past 3 weeks, and Sprint suggested updating the phone's software.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi NWL1,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a great day,

  • Trying to make the jump from JPEG to RAW...

    Hi all, I'm trying to make the jump from JPEG to RAW, and am hoping you might be able to help with a few questions.
    When I open JPEGs in Lightroom's Develop module, the settings are mostly zero by default. But when I open RAW files, some of the settings seem to have non-zero default to values.
    Am I correct to think these settings are from metadata saved into the RAW file when I took the picture? eg, the camera saves the White Balance settings as metadata within the RAW file, even though the White Balance settings don't actually affect the image data itself. And so when I open that RAW file in Lightroom, it'll apply the White Balance as recorded within the file, making that a non-zero default.
    Is that about right?
    Does Lightroom similarly 'pre-set' other values when importing RAW files? (I ask because I seem to have non-zero settings for Blacks, Sharpening, as well as the Color slider under Noise Reduction.)
    Meaning: I'm not quite sure "how much work" Lightroom is doing by default when I import RAW files, and how much I need to do to at least reproduce what my camera would do in making a JPEG.
    For example, even though Color under Noise Reduction is given a value -- Luminance, also under under Noise Reduction, is left at zero. And the picture looks a bit grainy. Would my camera have processed some Luminance Noise Reduction? If so, is there a way to get Lightroom to help get that pre-set too?
    Basically, is there a rule of thumb for how a novice should import a RAW file and have it reasonably "at least as good" as what the JPEG would have been?
    Thanks very kindly, -Scott

    Given that the camera ships with so many special effect presets -- is there no built-in preset that could be named "Auto Camera" so to speak? Or might it be possible import such a preset that somebody else has made?
    Lightroom, nor any other third party raw processing program will not read the camera settings beyond simple stuff such as white balance. So you cannot do this. If you go raw, you really have to change your mindset and completely ignore the in-camera jpeg styles. Just set it to a neutral style and learn what the preview on the camera means for the actual raw data. You will find that this gives you orders of magnitude more creative freedom afterwards as you will not be stuck with a burned in interpretation.
    So (for me) even just making my own presets -- let alone making separate presets for every ISO -- all that seems a bit daunting.
    There really is no need to at all. I don't use presets for example. I think they are a waste of time as it is extremely rare that two images need exactly the same treatment. You really are just choosing a different starting point. I start all my raw at a relatively neutral setting (but using a camera profile generated from a colorchecker!) and blast through a shoot very quickly. You'll learn how to recognize what modifications to the Develop settings images need and just do it. Then typically I use auto-sync or manual sync to modify similar shots (say a series of head shots taken shortly after each other). I work differently as most of my photography is landscape, but a typical workflow for many photographers that do more people/style/event stuff is to import all the raw and start culling them with pick/reject flags and refine collection. You'll arrive at a subset that is worth looking  at more closely and to finetune their development. The conservative default rendering helps you here because you'll quickly see what images are simply badly exposed, not in correct focus, etc. and you can reject them.
    Think of your raw as the unprinted negative. It represents a nascent image. One that still has to form completely. A jpeg is like a polaroid. The image style is pretty much chosen for you by the film maker. There is very little you can do to it afterwards without it breaking down. Raw gives you much more freedom but it does come with a learning curve and it is more tasking for your equipment. Many people including many pros are simply not interested (or don't see the pay off) in this part of the creative photographic process and just shoot jpeg, which is a fine approach (just not mine). Lightroom can help you there too to quickly find the best images in a series, keyword, caption, and disseminate.

  • I'm trying to make a ring to for iPhone and about 20 sec into the playing of the song it fades out and goes silent. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

    I'm trying to make a ring to for iPhone and about 20 sec into the playing of the song it fades out and goes silent. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

    Im not sure what garage band is, but i can tell you the way apple recommends making ringtones. Highlight a song in iTunes, right click and select get info. Goto the options tab and youll see the time lengths (write down the ending time) for the start time type in where you want the ringtone to start, ringtones can only be 30 sec long so make the ending time 30 sec later. Exit it out of the info and while song highlighted goto the "advanced" tab at the top of iTunes where you will see an option that says "create aac version". after creating the aac version you will have a duplicate song in your iTunes, change the original back to the correct time length. Take the 30 sec aac version and drag it to your desktop, right click the icon and click "preferences" You will then be able to change the name of the file which will be somethign to the effect of "songnamehere.m4a" you just change the m4a to m4r. you now have a ringtone, drag the new file to iTunes where it will pop up in a new tab labled ringtones. If you cannot change the name of the file when it is on your desktop let me know and i will give you instuctions how to be able to change it. Once you get it figured out you can use any song you have on iTunes to make a ringtone.

  • I have been trying to change the generes for songs in my I tunes library but it doesn't allow me to do this. Does anyone know how.

    I have been trying to change the generes to some of my songs in my itunes library but it doesn't allow me to do this. Does anyone know how.

    Hello there, reginaairview.
    The following Knowledge Base articles offer some great information in regards to how to change the Genre information on music in iTunes:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Edit song and CD information
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12360
    Edit song or CD information
    Select the song or CD you want to edit, and choose File > Get Info (or press Control-I).
    Click Info and make your changes.
    Tip:   If you’re changing the same information (for example, the genre) for multiple items, you can select all the items and change the information for them at the same time.
    Create your own genre category by clicking Info and typing the category in the Genre field.
    Additionally this article provides some good screen shots of where that is changed under "Editing and arranging content" section:

    Hold the power button and the home button down until the screen goes black and the apple logo appears. This will do a reset and you should be able to update your apps then.

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    - Try another cable.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    originally posted in APEX as a problem with APEX
    I found this on a 3.2 apex install on a development machine 1 have a number of workspaces.
    in one workspace in which I have been developing 3 applications and in which I have VPD enabled.
    When I click next after choosing table name in create form form table it times out.
    It does not take you to the page where you enter or confirm the page number, page name, etc.
    I have tried another workspace on the same server and it works to fcreate the form.
    On a separate machine/install the same workspace which does not work above to create form form table does work.
    The VPD setup is not identical in this workspace, but very similar.
    I surmise it is an issue with that workspace, possibly but not certainly with the new VPD , the table has these settings in vpd

    Form creation works in other workspace, and in the same workspace on another instance.

    A free account is never charged, if you have any charges in your Bank account without your knowledge from Adobe, I would request you to provide the following details by private message so that I can get it investigated.
    1. Adobe ID
    2. Last four digit of credit card
    3.Credit card name (visa/mastercard/Amex)
    If after investigation we are unable to detect the charges then you need to dispute the amount with Bank as it might can be case of Fraud.
