How can you erase a certain event from the iPad2 but keep it in iPhoto?

I have two events that were split up by iPhoto when it synced to my iPad2. Collectively there re about 400 photos in the two events and they were split into over 50 separate events some labeled sequentially as 102IMPRT 103IMPRT....and so on, and otehrs labeled with the original event label. I have not been able to regroup the events. they are still OK as two Events in iPhoto. My latest idea is to try to export the files from iPhoto without the geo and file name to a folder. Erase the events in iPhoto and then reimport them into new events in iPhoto. Then sync to iPad.
Before I did all that I wanted to remove the split events from my iPad. I tried to remove them from the iPad by unchecking the source events but checking all others in iTunes before syncing but that doesn't work probably because the pieces all have different names in the iPad. Maybe unchecking the events just doesn't sync them or make any changes..I thought that if you unchecke the events it would remove them. The real problem probably is that the spit events don't exist in iPhoto.
I did remove them from the iPad once by checking sync with nothing by unchecking iPhoto in iTunes. But that removes the whole library of 10000+ photos. I did that and restored an old library from before the time the events were split (from Time Machine) then resynced with the newest iPhoto and it split the same two events again in pretty much the same way. I got nowhere and it took 4-5 hours to delete and reload the10,000 photos.
Is there any way to remove events from the iPad that the crazy sync is creating, and don' t exist in your iPhoto library or on your iMac and iTunes without destroying the rest of the library of photos on the iPad??

I tried syncing with the sources unchecked so no photos would sync. When it got done it erased all the library photos except the messed up events, they remain on the iPad. The Vacation photos are in two albums, one is called camera roll, and the other improted photos. None of the photos were taken with the iPad camera and should not show up in camera roll.
At this point I am going to restore iPad2 to factory settings and sync from computer not backups and see what happens!

How can you delete a Pages document from your Ipad but keep it on your MAC?

You will need to keep them in folder on your hard drive somewhere other than in iTunes or they will be deleted from iTunes if you delete them from the device. I have a folder on my Mac called iPad Pages Documents - very original don't you think!
Here is the support article that explains it all.

How can i erase my .me mails from my iPhone and keep them in the server

how can i erase my .me mails from my iPhone and keep them in the server

You can't. The iPhone doesn't actually store all your emails anyway. It is showing you what is on the server directly.
Only the most recently accessed emails are cached (stored temporarily) on your phone for access when you are offline. If you delete an email from your iPhone, you are actually deleting it from the server.

How do you delete only certain pictures from the photo library on the iphone 5?

I just purchased an iphone 5. I would like to know how you delete only certain pictures from the photo library. You can delete from camera roll, but not photo library!! There are duplicate pics and ones that I don't even want on my phone.

Your photo library is a complete list of all photos on your phone, including the camera roll and any albums you've created.
Therefore it will always duplicate photos in your camera roll.
The images are simply links, not additional copies of the photo

How can you erase old back up from my external drive which i placed in the trash?

I removed some old back up from time machine which are on my external drive and it now in the trash. But the old back up is not erasing from my trash can. How can you removed this from the trash without reformatting the external drive.

You really should not remove any Time Machine backups using that or any other method.
Go to > Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions 12 and scroll down to the section in gray at the bottom of the article.

You have to delete the messages from the individual device. If you delete messages on one device, messages on the other are not automatically deleted.

How can you disable "set desktop picture" from the finder contextual menu

I teach high school. And MUST find a way to keep my students from changing their desktops.
First I basically got rid of Firefox when it had that feature in the Tiger days.
Then for Leopard I had to create dummy "locked" Safari Desktop Picture files for all my user accounts so the kids couldn't use Safari to set their desktop pictures.
NOW I discover (maybe this was here before) Snow Leopard lets you change the desktop right from the Finder itself! Just right click on any image file and the contextual menu will give them the option to "set desktop picture".
Come on Apple, every educator I know has complained about what a distraction and constant battle images are for students who use computers. While not all students are inappropriate, quite a few are...meaning no one can be allowed the privilege. Why is this such a huge battle to try and lock down? Please allow Parental Controls or Server managed preferences to keep our students from being able to change their desktop pictures, ever, at all, from anywhere or any program.
Does anyone know if this is even possible?

The only way (I have found) to shut down using Safari's "Use Image as a Desktop Picture" feature is to create a bunch of blank documents that the users have no permission to change (i.e. set permission to only allow, say YOU to read it and no access to write to it for anyone)
Create a number of these blank documents and rename them
Safari Desktop Picture.jpg
Safari Desktop Picture.tiff
Safari Desktop Picture.gif
Safari Desktop Picture.jpeg
Safari Desktop Picture.png
(you get the point....come up with as many .3 extensions of photo files that you can think of)
Put these locked and unchangeable files into the following directory of each of your student accounts
Macintosh HD/Users/~User Name/Library/Safari/
What this does is create a bunch of dummy files that will "block" Safari (or the system or user) from trying to replace them. Even though the right click comman will still be there, Safari will not be able to put the picture in the correct part of the system for it to be used as a Desktop Picture.

How can you open a new tab from the adress bar when located in an app tab ?

When I am in an app tab and I write another url in the address bar, I would like it to be opened in a new tab, not in the app tab, so I don't ruin what I have.
Is this possible?

You can use "Opt + Return" or middle click the Go (Reload/Stop) button at the right end of the location bar.
See "Open Address in New Tab" : <u>[[Keyboard shortcuts]]</u>

Can you erase all saved attachments from the past?

Hi all,
I have a funny feeling all the attachments (pictures, mp3s, docs, etc) I've ever sent are still lurking around my hard drive, somewhere in my mail folder. Is there a way to get rid of them?
Thanks!
Alec

Is there a way to undo this action? I've just erased three years' worth of attachments, including some that I needed. Did this while trying to get rid of a photo that is somehow appearing in every email I send. Any advice with that, too?

How can i import my calendar events from google calendar to ical?

how can i import my calendar events from google calendar to ical?

To set up CalDAV support for Google Calendar in Apple's iCal, follow these steps:
Open Apple iCal, go to Preferences and then the Accounts tab.
Click on the + button to add an account.
In the box that pops up, enter a description for the account and your Google Account username and password.
Under Server Options, add the following URL:
https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user//www.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user
Replace '[email protected]' with the email address that you use to log in to Calendar. Make sure to include the '@domain.com' portion (which is @gmail.com for Gmail users) in this section.
DO NOT substitute your username for 'user' at the end of the URL.
Leave the Use Kerberos v5 for authentication option unchecked.
Click Add.
Under the Delegation tab, select the calendars you'd like to add to iCal by checking the boxes next to them. You may need to hit refresh to get the latest list of calendars.
Add your email address to your Address Book card by selecting Add Email. You'll be prompted to add your email address only if your address is not already in your Address Book.
You won't be able to invite or email guests to Google Calendar events within iCal if your address is not in your Address Book.
Your Google Calendar will now appear in iCal's list of calendars, and changes you make to your Google Calendar in iCal will be reflected when you sign in to Google Calendar.
Event information will automatically refresh every five minutes. You can change this interval by opening the iCal > Preferences > Accounts menu and selecting a new refresh interval under the 'Refresh calendars' drop-down. Keep in mind you can also force a refresh by selecting a calendar and pressing the Apple and R keys at the same time.
Calendars that are checked but disabled have already been added to iCal - you can remove them from within iCal.

How can I get my ical events from my iMac to my iPhone? Anything I entered into ical on my iPhone will transfer to ical on iMac when plugged in, but not vice versa.

How can I get my ical events from my iMac to my iPhone? Anything I entered into ical on my iPhone will transfer to ical on iMac when plugged in, but not vice versa. I think I have changed my iPhone (after looking at similar questions) to iCloud, but it's still not syncing.

You need to sign into your iCloud account on your Mac, and check the Calendar option. System Preferences>iCloud, sign on your iCloud account, check the apps you want to sync with your device.

How can you pull in pdf's from iBooks and bring them into the Box app?

How can you pull in pdf's from iBooks and bring them into the Box app?

That sounds great, but I'm lost.
I followed these steps:
1) Open your PDF (in Adobe Acrobat Pro)
2) Chose print
The print/printer options pop-up will show.
3) In the printer section, do not use your normal printer, a printer named Adobe PDF should be an option. Chose it.
4) Under the "Page handling" section, change the Page Scaling drop-down menu to "Multiple pages per sheet".
It works fine, but it looses all of the font information and the search no longer works. How can you do it and save the font info, so the search tool continues to operate.
Am I missing anything?
