  • How do I sync an iPhone with iTunes when it's already sync'd with another?

    My old mac died - hard drive went, so I'm starting a fresh now and I've tried to sync my iPhone with the new iTunes but because it is still sync'd to the old one it wants to delete everything off the phone. Is there anyway I can sync without losing everything?
    Thanks,
    Andy

    In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on one computer only. When syncing iTunes content with an iTunes library on another computer, all iTunes content on the iPhone that was transferred to the iPhone from another computer will be erased first. The same applies to photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone.
    Contact info, calendar events, and bookmarks can be synced with the supported applications on multiple computers.
    If you don't have a backup for your old Mac that includes your iTunes library, iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store only.
    First you need to authorize the Mac you will be syncing your iPhone with - with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so.
    With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
    If you will be syncing contact info and calendar events with the Address Book and iCal on the Mac you will now be syncing your iPhone with and both applications haven't been used and are void of any data, enter one contact in the Address Book and one calendar events in iCal before syncing this data. Makes these up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt when syncing this data, which you want to select.

  • How to find music on Mac HD (iTunes) when it does not appear in finder under MP3/4

    I set up my iTunes to target an external HD.  I kept the music files (apparently) on my main MAC HD.  when I try to play them, iTunes looks to my external HD, but cannnot find them.  When I look under about this mac->storage, I see that all 64GB of music remains on my main HD, but when I run searches in the finder for MP3, MP4, or by band name, I cannot find anything.
    Is there a way to do a search for these files besides this? They are still on my HD, how do I locate them?
    thanks!

    My music is not there.  It is, however, showing up on my main (MAC) HD, not my external drive.  I think that I might have deleted the external drive copy instead of the local HD copy when I was trying to open up disk space.
    Is there a way to scan the MAC HD aside from spotlight?  When I look under about this mac->storage, I see that all 64GB of music remains on my main HD, but when I run searches in the finder for MP3, MP4, or by band name, I cannot find anything.

    How do I sync my iphone with itunes without losing everything on my phone?

    Normally, you should be able to sync your iPhone with iTunes without losing anything
    What can happen is that you might have emptied your iTunes library for any reason such as a system restore
    If this is the case, you first need to Import iPhone library to iTunes and then, you'll be able to sync your iPhone with iTunes with no problem

  • SharePoint 2010 list view - How to filter on a multiline text box field - the view filter does not allow me to select it.

    Hi there,
    Does someone know in SharePoint 2010 list view - How to filter on a multiline text box field - the view filter does not allow me to select it.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Per my knowledge,
    it is by design that the data type multiple lines of text can only use “contains” and “begins with” operators.
    You can also filter the list view using SharePoint Designer,
    Open your list AllItem.aspx page in SPD ->click “Filter” > in “Field Name” select your multipe line of text field, in “Comparison” will displayed four choices.
    Best Regards,

  • How do I remove the Windows partition? Boot Camp Assistant does not allow me to select the remove option.

    I am using an iMac, 8.1, early 2008. I installed Windows XP at that time. I am now using OS 10.8.5 and want to remove the Windows partition to free up disk space. Boot Camp Assistant does not allow me to select the "install or remove" option. How can I get rid of the Windows partition?

    You can try removing it in Disk Utility.
    To resize the drive do the following:
    1. Open Disk Utility and select the drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list.
    2. Click on the Partition tab in the Disk Utility main window. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
    3. Select the bottom rectangle/partition. Click on the Delete [-] button below the sizing window to remove it. Click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
    4. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for the remaining partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and drag it all the way down to the bottom. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed. 
    You should now have a restored single volume on the drive.
    It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss.  Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.
