How do I keep photos on iphone when syncing for first time

I gave my iPhone 4 to my son as an 8th grade graduation gift.
He now wants to sync it to his macbook, so I helped him set up an itunes account.
When we go to sync it, it says it will wipe the phone clean.
He has some music on there from my itunes acct, and alot of photos he has taken.
How can he do an initial sync without losing his dat (mostly photos)
Thanks!

I am not sure if you can do this if it is your first time on a new iTunes account, but I like to uncheck the box that says something like "Automatically manage your media". This means that iTunes does not care what apps and music etc. that I have on on my phone and if I want to add something I just click and drag a media file onto my phone's name and if I want to delete something I just view files on my phone via iTunes and delete it. I never need to check and uncheck songs in iTunes using this method. Itunes also never has to automatically delete and replace "outdated" media this way. If you can access this checkbox on the Device Summary page when you connect to your phone to iTunes, I highly recommend trying this.

  • How to sync iPhone with iTunes for first time without setting up as a new iPhone

    I have an iPhone 5 that I have never sync:ed with iTunes on my Mac, I have just set it up and purchased apps etc from the iPhone itself.
    Now I would like to sync with iTunes for the first time with the iPhone but when I connect it, iTunes asks me if I want to setup the iPhone as a new iPhone (I assume form scratch) or from a backup from other iPhones that have been sync:ed with my Mac.
    Now I dont want to setup this iPhone from scratch and erase everything thats on it, I just want to sync with my Mac, download apps, music etc. How do I do that and get beyoind the first screen that asks about setting up as a new iPhone ?
    /Kjell

    Hi I think I've found a workarround. I'm currently copying all files on my iPhone to the new PC using this program: http://www.getsharepod.com/download/
    After all files are copied I think I can enable sync in the new iTunes and delete the iPhone, then add the copied files in new playlists.
    I'll let you know.

  • Sql query when fired for first time

    Here is my query. I installed database and software using DBCA. Now i got connected to sql. Now my doubt is when I fired SELECT * FROM EMP from scott user, for the first time, what are the different steps followed to fectch the data. I mean how the user gets connected to the database and which background process works at what stages. Please give detailed explanation. Thanks.

    When connecting to the database the client makes a request to the listener, and the listener checks the availability of the requested database service and responds to the client with an ACCEPT message, which indicates connection dispatching.
    After that, the listener sends a RESEND message back to the client and uses this time to check the database service. The client recieves the RESEND message and sends the same request again to the Listener.
    After recieving the ACCEPT message the connection is established, and this connection is different depending if you are using a Dedicated Server or Shared Server configuration.
    When you issue the query:
    SELECT * FROM emp;Oracle checks in the Shared Pool, in the Data Dictionary cache if the object exists and if you have sufficient privileges to access it (user Scott in this case). It then checks the Library cache if this statement has been executed before. If it did, another parse will not be necessary. Then the SQL statement is parsed (if necessary), interpreted and executed.
    The DBRW (Database Writer) background process then checks in the Buffer Cache if the blocks which contain the information from the EMP table are already there. If they are, a physical read is not necessary and it fetches the rows from the Buffer Cache.
    If they are not, DBWR reads the data files, retrieves the data from them, store the related blocks in the Buffer Cache (so in the next executions of this query a physical read will not be needed) and then the data is shown to the user.
    There are other details envolved, but in a general view that is what happens.

  • Slow performance pages when accessing for first time

    Hi Oracle developers,
    Hope this is the right place to ask my question regarding Fusion Applications performance.
    I'm dealing with a hard issue in our Fusion Applications 11.1.7 'test' environment for educational purposes. The thing is that whenever a page is accessed the first time (after a restart) it takes a very long time for the page to appear on the screen.
    When it has been accessed before the page is rendered almost instantly. I suspect this has to with caching/compilation of the pages.
    I already looked at article (Doc ID 1518515.1) and the settings were already set as is described in the solution part of the note.
    My question:
    Is there a fix for this?
    Is there a way to precompile all Fusion Applications JSP pages after a restart.
    Hope you can help me out with this!
    Kind regards,
    Charif

    Hi Charif,
    we are looking into ways to speed this up, but at the moment there is nothing you can do to avoid this delay.  I know this sounds vague, but I cannot discuss future potential features here.
    Thanks,

  • K7N2G Beeps when booting for first time

    I purshased the K7N2G series motherboard, and after connecting everything when I boot it beeps for about 1 and 1/2 seconds straight then stops, then a few seconds later it does it again.  It does this until I power it off.  A few times I was able to get into the BIOS, where the only things I set were the boot order, disabled the floppy controller, and changed the FSB to 133Mhz.  But nonetheless, it did this before I got into the BIOS the first time.  I have the following items attached to it:
    AMD 2200 w/ fan(which I made sure was working correctly when I booted)
    256MB DDR333 memory(installed in slot 1)
    40GB brand new unpartitioned IBM hard drive
    HP 4x CDRW drive
    Hard drive is set as master and plugged into the middle of the cable, and cdrom is slave at the end both connected to IDE 1.  I realize this isnt the best way to have them hooked up but its only like that for convenience purposes now.  Any help on this would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks.

  • How can I keep logo background transparent when flattening for web?

    Hi, I have a logo designed in Illustrator which I'm bringing into Photoshop to save it for the web. It comes into Photoshop with a transparent background, but when I save it for the web or flatten it, it gets a white background. Can you tell me how to keep the background transparent?

    File > save for web (& devices). That will give you the best and smallest web-ready graphics. With save as you're embedding all kinds of info that doesn't need to be in the image. File size can bloat ten-fold quickly. Use save for web.

  • How do i sync iphone with computer for first time?

    Need help to sync my iphone4S with my Mac

    You should just be able to plug it in to your Mac once you setup your iPhone, iOS 5 has allowed phones to be setup without the need of a computer. You just sign in with your Apple ID and presto. For your apps/music/etc it's easiest to get it on the iPhone over a USB connection since most people have at least 1GB of each (which is a lot of data to wirelessly transfer via iCloud or even Wi-fi Sync). When you plugin your phone, your iPhone will show up on the left hand bar, that's where you go and modify most of your sync settings, etc.

  • Error with iTunes when connecting for first time.

    Here is the error that I get when I connect my phone to my computer:
    The software required for iPhone is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes. then install iTunes again.
    I have the latest version on iTunes installed (7.3). I have tried removing itunes and reinstalling 4 or 5 times. Evan restarted my computer few times too. I'm running Vista so not sure if that's the problem.

    Hi Bigrash,
    Close iTunes, and disconnect your iPhone from your computer.
    Go to "Control Panel", and go into "Programs".
    Select "Installed Programs".
    Here, find "Apple Mobile Device Support" from the list, and click on it. From the "File" menu, select "Change/Remove", and then click "Remove".
    After that application has been fully uninstalled, go to this page, to download another copy of the iTunesSetup.exe installer:
    Download iTunes - 7.3.0.54
    After you've downloaded the iTunes installation pack again, launch iTunes, and connect your iPhone.
    Do you still get that same error message, or not?

    Hi LeoCal,

  • HT4236 How do you keep photos in the same sequence on the iPhone that they are on the PC folder?

    How do you keep photos in the same sequence in the iPhone as they are in the folder on the PC??

    When I sync my photos they are listed alphabetically (by folder) and within the folders, listed alphabetically again by the name assigned to the photo. The only way I can think of to keep the order that you have in your computer would be to assign a letter as a prefix to each photo. If you have more than 26 photos in a folder, you can double the letters, etc. I think that will keep the photos in the order you want.

    Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last ever version of Firefox for Win98 / SE / ME.
    You can get it from here, but you are better off using K-Meleon (derived from Firefox) or Opera instead an old version of Firefox:
    [ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/win32/en-US/]
    You can try KernelEx to get Firefox 3+ to work, but it would be very slow with an old PC of less than 750Mhz. 3.5 and later supposedly doesn't work.

  • How can you keep the highest iphone 4s Video quality the same when exporting it from iMovie.

    How can you keep the highest iphone 4s Video quality the same when exporting it from iMovie.

    InDesign's PDF export engine does not transcode your videos, they are embedded exactly as they were in the original file. The Flash Player runtime which displays video inside PDF files may not show a perfect match to Quicktime etc. because most video playback tools aren't designed for a color-calibrated workflow, but they should be close.
    The playback quality (blocking and aliasing) will be affected if the clip is not playing at 100% (screen pixels != video pixels) and in PDFs with the standard video player widget, that will only ever happen when you use 'floating window' mode. PDF pages have physical dimensions, so viewing them at "100%" does not make them match screen pixels.
    If you don't mind the video clip being smaller than the media annotation in which it's playing, then use my free upgrade to the Acrobat playback widget - VideoPlayerX - which maintains 1:1 pixel scale until the page is zoomed out too far for it to fit. You can install the widget into InDesign so it's used by default when exporting.
