How do I stop facebook syncing back to iphoto?

Everytime I open iphoto the photos seem to go in both directions ie: they are re-loaded to FB and everyone gets spammed with tags but also all the dates change in iphoto like they are freshly downloaded, not just in the FB album but in the event as well. I thought I had fixed it by having a different event name to FB album name but even if the FB album has pics from a bunch of events the issue still happens.
Is it possible to stop the sync and just have iphoto upload to FB?...I feel like the program is outsmarting itself!!...and me
Thanks

iPhoto syncs to Facebook (and Flickr, MobileMe). So, make a change on one place it changes the other.
You want an uploader, not a sync, so forget about using iPhoto for the job - it's just not the tool you want for the job.

Question: How do I stop the syncing of/get rid of MobileMe?

Question: How do I stop the syncing of/get rid of MobileMe?

If you haven't yet signed out in System Preferences>MobileMe go there: go to the iDisk pane and if you have iDisk Syncing running, stop it. Go to the Sync pane and turn off all syncing. Then go to the Account pane and sign out.
Also go to iPhoto and/or Aperture if applicable and if they have an accounts section in Preferences remove MobileMe from it (not all versions do).
If you have already signed out you won't be able to sign back in to do this. In that event, or if the above doesn't work, go to (user)/Library/Preferences/ByHost and remove all .plist files beginning with com.apple.DotMac and com.apple.idisk.

How do I stop iTunes from backing up my iPhone photos to Dropbox?

I have an iPhone and also have Dropbox. For some reason iTunes decided to back up the photos on my iPhone into a folder on my Dropbox without me telling it anything. How do I stop it from backing up my iPhone photos to Dropbox? The help files don't provide easy-to-find documentation and iTunes simply isn't intuitive.

iTunes does no such thing.
The dropbox app on the device has such a feature, turn it off.

Hi Canadian Beaver Tail!
You may want to try restoring the photo in iPhoto, using the instructions suggested in the following article:
iPhoto '11: Delete or restore a photo
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2398
To restore a deleted photo:
If you haven’t yet emptied the iPhoto Trash, do the following:
Select Trash in the Source list.
Select the photo you want to restore.
Choose Photos > “Restore to Photo Library.”You can also drag the item out of the Trash into an empty part of the Source list.
If you use Time Machine to back up your computer, you can recover a photo, an Event, a folder, an album, a project (such as a book, card, or calendar), or a slideshow even if you deleted it from the library and emptied it from the Trash.To restore photos, quit iPhoto, open the folder containing your iPhoto library, and then open Time Machine.To open Time Machine, click its icon in the Dock, or click the Time Machine icon in the menu bar and choose Enter Time Machine.For more information on using Time Machine, see the topics in Help Center. In the Finder, choose Help > Help Center, and then search for “Time Machine.”
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Braden

I my harddrive with my photo library went bad, but I have the photos on my ipad, ipod and iphone. How to I get those photos back into iphoto on my macbook?

The external drive with my photo library went bad, but I have the photos on my ipad, ipod and iphone. How to I get those photos back into iphoto on my macbook?

Are the photos you want to send back to your mac on your iPad, iPod, iPhone saved to the camera roll? If you have photos in other albums (not camera roll) share them to the camera roll.
Then connect your device via USB and lauch iPhoto. You will see your device as a camera in iPhoto. Import those photos like you would import from a camera.

When syncing iPhone 5s pictures, how can I stop it from backing that album up on my phone?

When I'm syncing my phone to my laptop, how can I stop it from adding a backup album back to my phone?

I want to delete songs off of my computr because it's taking up unnecessary space, but how can I do this without them being removed from my iPhone when I sync it next?
As given, removing from the library causes the songs to be removed during sync. So the space taken up is neccessary... What would you do if your iPhone where lost, stolen, damaged or needed to be restored?
If you ned more room for storage buy a bigger drive. In fact buy two, one to use as a backup for your library and all your other important files.

How can I stop Facebook renaming my contacts?

I have a Mac running Mountain Lion, an iPhone 4 running iOS 6 and an original iPad running iOS 5.
iOS 6 and Mountain Lion brought Facebook integration, which among other things, lets me link the Facebook information of my contacts, with the iCloud entry I already have for them. Nice touch, I thought.
I have done this linking for most of the entries on my iPhone and it is nice and neat now. In each case I can choose which name to use for the unified card, and in all cases I have chosen the iCloud entry as the name, because some of my contacts have 'comedy' names for themselves on Facebook and I want to control how I name them on my phone.
All is well, but these contacts peridoically rename themselves back to the Facebook entry name, and I have to manually reset it. It stays like that for a while and then again, all of a sudden it changes back. I'm not totally sure but it could be an iTunes sync which is resetting the names to Facebook defaults, or maybe an iCloud thing? I'm lost because now there are so many sources to check and potential places where the wrong setting could be applied across all the devices.
How can I stop this happening? I don't want my contacts renaming themselves in my phone list against my wishes. Why are my choices about which name to use for the unified card being overridden?
Anyone have any ideas?
I'm tempted to turn the bloody Facebook integration off as it seems to be a bit more trouble than it's worth. As usual, nice idea but very beta-esque...

I have this exact same problem. One solution is having your friends change their fake aliases on Facebook to their real bloody names, but I realise this is no easy fix.

How Do I Stop iTunes syncing my iPhone automatically?

I have owned an iPhone 5 for a little shy of two years now. I love it but it has one irritating feature that I can't seem to get rid of. When I had an iPod years ago one of the things I liked about it was the simple drag and drop method of loading songs onto the phone but that's never been possible with this iPhone. Whenever I plug it into the computer it starts removing songs I want on it and adding songs I don't want. I have been through iTunes' settings and as far as I can see I've set syncing to be manual and still it does this. Increasingly I find myself avoiding adding new content to my phone because of how awkward the process is.
To be clear, I want:
1) When I plug the iPhone into the computer I want NOTHING to happen unless I tell iTunes to do it. No music to be synced, backed up, deleted or anything. I simply want iTunes to detect the phone and be ready for my instructions about what should be added or deleted.
2) To be able to drag and drop the music I want from my library to the iPhone.
I am using:
iPhone 5 with ios 8.2
iTunes 12.1.1
I have already:
Used "Device Preferences" to select "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPhones from syncing automatically"

Hi,
I'm not quite sure what you mean. My iphone is connected to my home wifi, it doesn't change whats on the phone unless I plug it directly into my laptop though.
I've just had a look at the setting you mentioned and its not currently set up to do the wifi syncing. It says "to enable wifi syncing with itunes connect to itunes using a cable and click sync with this iphone over wifi" Obviously since I want things much less automatic rather than more I won't be switching that feature on.

How do I stop my iTunes backing up my sms messages?

Someone who uses my laptop keeps finding my sms messages backed up and I want to stop my iTunes backing up my messages completely. Does anyone have any idea how to stop this?

Thanks for your reply
This is going to sound a bit odd but it's my partner that checks my messages as he has trust issues. I can't put any kind of passwords on anything as he will then suspect I am hiding something regardless of if I am or not.
I want to continue to back up my iPhone in case something happens to it. If I delete my txt messages off my phone, does this permanently delete them everywhere so they will not show up when I back up my phone?

How do I stop future syncs to Outlook 2007

Need Some Help Please.
I have a palm Z22 device and have always used the Palm OS Hotsync software to sync and up date my calendar etc.
I just purchased a new computer and during my sync process I inadvertently down loaded all my info into the Outlook calendar contacts etc.
Does anyone know how to revert from Outlook 2007 back to the Palm OS programs???
Thanks
Post relates to: Palm Z22
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Palm Desktop has a conduit switch program to move back and forth. To go back go to Start-->Programs/All Programs-->Palm-->PIM Conduit Sync--> SYnc with Palm Desktop. Click on that last one and it should move back to Palm Desktop for you.
Post back if you have more questions

How do I stop a sync mucking about with my contacts list?

I have repeatedly set up the same contacts list in my computer and phone.
All are in the form: Marybeth @ M in the first name field - a habit from long ago!
Either the computer or the phone keeps trying to create surnames or dredge them out of some old historical file - to my eternal frustration!
To quote a highly regarded TV scientist of yesteryear - Why is this so?
Better still - How do I stop it???
I don't use or want surnames in my list and it seems I don't get to choose whether I'd like it as an optional field!
Thanks for any suggestions that will save my ever-thinning hair!

Go to Menu>OptionsSync Tab>disconnet it> Sign in with what account you want.......

How do I stop auto-sync?

I need to get my Mac to stop auto-syncing my Address Book (so that you don't see those arrows spinning up on my menu bar). Any ideas?
Thanks,
Raymond

http://raymondrodriguez.net/sync.jpg
Ok, ever since I plugged my new iPad into my MacBook, my MacBook kept popping up messages about merging my Yahoo contacts with Address Book. I resisted these constant pop up messages for over a week and then I finally gave in and said "Fine, do it!" So then I checked Address Book on the MacBook and it's duplicated most of my contacts many times over. Around 10 times each. I figured it was an error so I went and deleted all of the copies. I noticed this arrow thing spinning on my menu bar later on that day (syncing MobileMe) and so I canceled the sync. After that I checked Address Book and all those contacts were copied all over again. Now it's been about two weeks and each of those contacts has 94 copies each(!!!). I don't have MobileMe so when I go into my System Prefs I can't edit it to stop doing this syncing process since it's asking me for my member name and password. So frustrating!
I hope that made some sense to you.
Thanks,
Raymond

Added photos in web gallery synced back to iPhoto?

when others add photos to my web galleries, i can't find where they are synced back to on my mac. For example, if I publish an event "Beach" and my friend adds a picture taken from her camera to the web gallery, it does not sync back to the original 'beach' event in my iphoto library....instead its saved to an unlisted '2008' - 'originals' folder in iPhoto. Is there a way so that if someone adds a photo to the web gallery it will sync back to the original event folder that the web gallery was published from?

You're not neurotic MJM80, This problem drives me nuts.
I created a web gallery album through ME.com from my office computer. The album shows up in iPhoto under MOBILEME GALLERY on my Mac at home but it does not create an album or even in iphoto that corresponds to the web gallary album. The photos only exist in the web gallery they are not transferred to my iphoto library at all. Very annoying.
Anyone who has an issue with this should post it in the discussions and send feedback to apple. MOBILEME GALLERY sync should work in both directions.

How do you save from Photoshop back to iPhoto?

How do you save your external edits from Photoshop back to iPhoto?
Fine, I know how it can be done ONCE : you simply flatten the image and then hit Save, and you see your edited image in iPhoto.
But, what if you FIRST want to save the .psd document complete with layers outside iPhoto, THEN flatten the image and save as a jpeg back to iPhoto? I tried this yesterday. I saved as a PSD file - with all layers and a new name - to my Pictures folder. Then I flattened the image and wanted to save it to iPhoto, but the temporary iPhoto location had disappeared from the Photoshop Save dialogue and Photoshop now displayed it under the new name.
This is annoying : you've got to save the PSD document first in order to preserve the layers. But when you do this, you lose the ability to save the image a second time, all layers flattened, back to iPhoto.

But if I'd flattened the psd without saving it as a psd, I could simply have saved it back to iPhoto (I've done that before).
Hold on - perhaps that's the answer...
What if..
1. I flatten the image and Save it back to iPhoto, then ...
2. Undo the 'flatten image' in Photoshop, then save THAT version as a psd?
I'll try this and let you know if it works.
ETA - Yay it works! Shoulda thought of that right off. I blame toothache
