For proper maintenance of a lithium-based battery, it’s important to keep the electrons in it moving occasionally. Be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).

  • How do I completely turn off iPhone backups to my Mac?

    How do I completely turn off iPhone backups to my Mac?  I have an MBP with a 250 GB SSD running Mountain Lion that I use primarly for work and I'm getting low on disk space.  I'm having a clear out and I noticed that my iPhone and iPad back ups use about 20 gigs which is too much. Neither carries important data and my phone photos are already covered by iPhoto auto backing up to a remote library. I don't want to pay for an iCoud account. Any ideas?

    You need to sync your iPhone contacts with the Address Book on your Mac, which is as designed and intended.
    Before the first sync for this data, enter one contact in the Address Book on your Mac. Make this contact up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.
    Syncing contacts with the Address Book is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    The same applies before syncing calendar events with iCal if you aren't using iCal on your Mac for calendar events.

  • Can you turn off iPhone auto-rotate?

    Can you turn off iPhone auto-rotate? I never used my phone sideways at all, and now emails and text messaging keeps rotating side ways at the slight angle my phone goes in. Its been really bothering me ever since updating to the 3.0 OS and I want to downgrade to stop this auto rotation.

    As these two say, you are going to have to try really hard to keep that phone upright.

    Csoud1 is correct. But if you still want to keep your iTunes Match subscribed and did not want to sync with your iOS devices, do the following:
    On you iOS devices, just go to Setting > Music > disable iTunes Match

  • How do you keep your iPhones and iPads separate under the same apple id

    I have a family of iPhones and iPads and one apple ID, well needless to say each device is getting face time calls and text messages from eachother. I might add it makes for some pretty interesting conversations. I would like to learn how to keep each device seperate under the same apple ID, or would it be better to set up seperate ID's for everything? Anyways, any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

  • How to sync mailboxes / folders between iPhone and iPad

    How does one sync email folders between iPhone and iPad ?

    Hi Doc,
    I have just been on the phone to Apple for over 2 hours ! Both devices were already on IMAP . It turned out that one particular folder was a rogue and did not sync between desktop, iPhone and iPad. I created a new folder dragged every email into it from my desk top , deleted the original folder and all emails in that folder are now synched. Even Apple was baffled but the problem is now resolved so thank you for your assistance .

  • How can I re-sync my iPhone and iPad after accidentally deleting my iTunes library (without losing all of the apps on my devices)?

    Long story short: A sequence of bad decisions on my part caused me to delete my entire iTunes library (song files, apps, itl file, everything in the music folder).  Another bad decision left me without a Time Machine backup of this folder. I have a backup of my music and I can redownload audiobooks from Audible, so I'm not stressed out about my audio.
    The problem is my iPhone and iPad. I've downloaded >400 apps and have over 100 on each device. How can I begin syncing them to this new, app-free library without having every app deleted (along with their organization, settings and related-documents). I use these devices heavily so this is a huge conundrum for me.
    The next step would seem to be to restore my audio files to a new iTunes library, but how do I then sync my devices to that library without wiping out every app on my iDevices?  I'm a pretty technical user and am willing to hand edit the ITL files if necessary.  I think that i _may_ be able to find a version of the itl file that's about a year old from an ancient backup. But that still doesn't solve the whole problem.
    Thank you,
    Spencer

    I managed to lose an earlier reply I'd started before you came back with your "solved" so I didn't bother to retype it.
    It went something like this:
    You should be able to recover the media with the tips in  this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings. You can probably transfer your purchases into an authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup.
    The older .itl file is useful however as iTunes should see this as the "home" library for your device which will allow you to preserve the application settings. (.itl file? Mac? I assume the library has migrated from PC to Mac at some point). Any files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder or did you kill those as well? The most recent of these would be the best place to start.
    And no, the .itl file is not editable by mortals...
    Once you've restored the media from backups or recovered whatever else you useful can from the device, the scripts MusicFolder Files Not Added and Super Remove Dead Tracks should help get the library up to speed with the contents of the media folder.

    How do I transfer my apps from my iPhone  and iPad to iMac when it was on a pc before, without losing the apps

    Connect your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad to your computer.
    When your device appears in the iTunes window (below Devices), select it.
    Click the Info button and select the items you want to sync.

    No, the iPad charger will just limit the output to 5W. It won't give out 10W for "faster charging".

  • How to get ALL photos off iPhone and into iMac?

    I hope I can describe this clearly.
    I have close to 1000 photos on my iPhone 5s, all in different albums.  I want to get ALL of them off the iPhone and backed up into my iMac so I don't lose them when I upgrade (which has happened before.) The albums I seem to have the biggest problem with are the ones that came over when I went from a PC to a Mac about 2 years ago and were in albums in my Kodak Easy Share.  I can't get iPhoto to recognize these photos/albums so I can move them from the iPhone. Honestly, I'm not even sure how I got them from where they originated into my iPhone. I'd thought I'd lost them so when they popped up on my iPhone I refused to even update my phone for a while, I was so afraid to lose them.
    I tried using Image Capture and it only recognized 176 photos on the iPhone.
    I went into settings on my iPhone, into camera and photos, and saw that iCloud Photo Library (Beta) was "OFF." I clicked "ON" and got the message "Photos synced from iTunes will be removed. Syncing photos via iTunes is not supported when include Photo Library is turned on.  833 photos will be removed."
    I hit cancel.
    If I connect my iPhone to my Mac, and check off "Sync Photos" it appears that it's going to put photo's in iPhoto on my computer on my phone, so that isn't what I want either.  I've tried Googling this, and searching on the Apple site and I can't find anything like this. Similar but not quite the same.
    I also read (I think) that the iCloud would delete my photos in 30 days so I'm not sure what the value of backing them up to the iCloud is.
    I've used Finder to search Kodak, Easy Share, Kodak Easy Share, in case these photos are somewhere else on the iMac that I'm not aware of, most likely due to user ignorance.
    My screen is cracked, I'm going to need to upgrade soon, and I don't want to lose valuable photos again. 
    Thank you!

    Thank you to all for this info. Discouraging, but finally I can stop banging my head on the desk trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong.
    I do believe that when I synced my iPhone at some point in the last 2 years, I pulled all the photos OUT of iPhoto and then it deleted them.  Which is most likely why the older Kodak photos that I am almost 100% certain were in iPhoto are now gone. How/when they ended up on my iPhone I don't know because I swear they suddenly appeared there a few weeks ago.
    Since the old PC is gone (accessible but wiped clean & restored to original factory settings) and Easy Share is no more, I will have to explore outside options to get those photos off the iPhone somewhere.  Online photo storage sites have been suggested.  Archaic as it is, I wish I'd just put them all on cd's.
    Using the info provided, I did SUCCESSFULLY get all 237 photos off of my iPhone 3.  (yes, I still have it.)  Now I know better and will never ever sync my photo's in iTunes again.
    Thank you all again!!
