How do you keep itunes from re-ordering your apps

When iTunes syncs with my iPad it re-orders the apps in mostly ABC order. I'm not sure what logic it uses but it's annoying.

When you select the Apps tab of iTunes (with the iPad connected) you'll see a representation of the home page(s). You can move the apps around in that window in iTunes (which is a bit of a pain when you are trying to move apps between pages) and when you sync the apps will appear in the same locations. If you buy apps in iTunes on the computer, they'll be placed willy nilly in the empty spaces but the arrangement you created won't be disturbed.

  • How do I keep itunes from putting things into the cloud after I've downloaded them?

    Hello - Not everyone lives in Silicon Valley or New York City.  I have a relatively slow internet connection so it takes about 2 hours to download a 45-minute tv episode.  Yesterday I did that, and today I went to watch it and it had been put back in the cloud!  "No problem," says Apple, "You can download it again."  It takes f**** 2 hours to download it again.  How can I keep Itunes from putting things I've already downloaded back into the cloud?

    You don't. They are in the cloud as soon as you make a purchase. As in immediately/right now. They don't get uploaded from yoru computer to the cloud.
    Did you delete it after you watched it?

  • How do I keep iTunes from automatically transferring purchases from my iPhone?

    Well, earlier in the year I had a Hard Drive failure. After having it fixed not all my files where on my Mac, including my iTunes media. So I connect my iPhone and it asks me if I want to transfer purchases? I click yes, the transfer wnet fine but some old media transferd too. I didn't want it so I simply deleted it. But when I plug my iPhone in now, it automatically says transfering purchases from Alex's iPhone. I then clicked on the "X" to cancel the task. But how do I keep iTunes from automatically transferring the old material?

    iTunes/Preferences/Devices - Select "Prevent iPods, iPhone, iPads from syncing automatically."

  • How do I keep iTunes from moving files when I add them to my library?

    I use a site where artists give away their songs via torrent, so I like to seed as much as possible. But recently when I've added files, they're removed from their original folder and moved to a more generic "music" folder. How can I keep iTunes from doing this, so that my uploads aren't interrupted?

    In iTunes, go to Edit > Preferenes > Advanced, and make sure that "Keep..." and "Copy..." are both unchecked.

    How do you keep pictures from reloading with every sync

    What do mean by reloading? Once you sync the photos to the iPad they should not sync again. Is that what you are seeing? The progress bar is showing that the photos are being transferred all over again?

  • How do you transfer music from iPhone to your pc?

    How do you transfer music from iPhone to your pc?

    You'll need third party software to do this.  The problem is that Apple works very hard to plug this capability.  I used to use freeware called PodShare, but that stopped working years ago.
    AFAIK, there are no free ones left, and I don't have personal experience with any of the current products.  I hear people say good things about PhoneView, which is $29.  If you google, there are a bunch of others in the $19-$29 price range.
    Even if you buy one, be sure to get your music off and back it up, because there's a good chance it'll stop working with the next iOS release.

  • How do you create a folder to organize your apps

    How can you create a folder to organize your apps. 
    How can you move an app into a app that was already created.  i.e.  "Newstand" can you put other magazines into this folder.

    actually u cant.
    if u want to create folders,put your finger on an icon until it starts moving,then take an app and put it on another app,then u will create a folder that u can rename it as u want

  • How can I keep iTunes from opening when I insert a CD?

    I have gone through the preferences again and again, and I can't find a way to keep iTunes from opening whenever I insert a CD. iTunes is not my preferred player/encoder, and I don't want it to open unless I tell it to.
    Case in point, I'm converting many CDs to mp3, using an application that gives me the filename format I want (iTunes isn't that flexible enough to do that). It is annoying for iTunes to keep butting in, every time I insert a CD!
    Thanks for any advice.
    L.

    When you first insert a CD your Mac comes up with a box saying
    "You have inserted a CD" (duuh, Apple...)
    Then you choose from a pop-up menu that offers "Open in Finder", "Open in iTunes", etc
    At some point you (or someone) has chosen "Open in iTunes" then checked the little box that says "Make this the default from now on".
    If you go into System Prefs (as already mentioned) you have a choice to reset what you want to do with a blank CD.

  • Forte and MIDlet - how do you keep Forte from seeing J2SE classes?

    I am developing MIDlets with Forte; I have created a new MIDlet within a MIDlet suite, using the HelloWorld template.
    However Forte lets me use any old class in my code, not just the MIDP classes. For example, if I write a
    Float f = new Float();
    line in my code, Forte will compile without batting an eyelid, even though there is no Float class in MIDP.
    How can I keep Forte from accepting the use of J2SE classes when compiling MIDlets?
    Thanks

    OK, fixed - here's what I did:
    - I went to Project/Settings/Compiler Types and I moved the J2ME Wireless Internal Compilation on top of the list
    - then to Project/Settings/J2ME Wireless Settings and make sure that the J2ME Wireless Internal Compilation was the default compiler
    - then Project/Settings/Java Sources/Default compiler and set the compiler again
    -then I went to Tools/Global Options/J2ME Wireless Options and set "Check default compiler" to false
    Now it works!Perhaps there are useless/contradictory steps in there, but at least now my code is only compiled against MIDP classes and not J2SE classes.

  • How can I keep iTunes from importing doubles?

    I am wondering if there is a way to keep iTunes from downloading (pulling from the cloud) doubles of music.  I would like to update my computer and iPad so that the two music libraries match, however iTunes doesn't seem to recognize that some of the songs are already on one or both devices.  So the problem ends up being, that I have doubles of some songs, even though I have chosen the option (Not on this iPad or Not on this Computer).  Any thoughts....

  • In Aperature, how do you keep photos in the order you changed them to while editing? When you go to burn them to a disk, the order changes from what you see on the screen.

    I need to know how to save my photos to a disk for a client in the order I changed them while working on them. I photographed a party with another photographer and joined both photographers photos. Now I want to keep them in the order the event took place and how I rearranged them.

    The exported photos will show on the disk like any sequence of files, sorted by date, name, filetype, etc. To help your client to sort them according to your sequence, rename the files and append a sequence number. You can rename them on export by using an export preset, for example the name format "Custom name with index". That will append a number to the filename, according to the position in the album you are exporting.
