How Should I Set my Settings in iTunes?

I have iCloud, Lion, iOS5....everything.  Should I have to sync my iPad and iMac at all?  And how should the settings be set in iTunes.  I notice that I have checked that iCal, Contacts and everything to Sunc, but shouldn't they be unchecked if they automatically go to both with iCloud?  I thought I had them unchecked but they are checked and are syncing when i sync my iPad.  Will this give me double entries?  Please clarify the settings in iTune...checked to sync or unchecked? Thanks.

If you are syncing your Calendar and Contacts with iCloud - you do not want to sync them with the computer as well becuase you could end up with duplicate entries. So uncheck them in iTunes so that they do not sync. If you uncheck them in iTunes, you will have to click on the Apply button in the lower right corner of iTunes in order to lock in the sync changes.
If you do not want to do so, you don't have to sync with your Mac. That is your choice now with iOS 5.

    thank you

    No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
    As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

    M Parker, 
    Yes, since you are trying to keep things separate, that is exactly what you would do.

  • How do I set up two separate iTunes accounts on one MacBook Pro in order to manage the wife's iPhone and my iPhone? Can this be done?

    How do I set up two separate iTunes accounts on one MacBook Pro in order to manage the wife's iPhone and my iPhone (with separate info on each of course) ? Can this be done? A little step by step would be greatly appreciated; just short step by step though, I can follow fairly well.
    Kindest Regards,
    Phil T.

    You would each need to use your own user account on the Mac, you can do this at system preferences > users & groups.

  • How do I set  File Sharing  in iTunes to keep files up-to-date?

    How do I set  File Sharing  in iTunes to keep files up-to-date?  i tried iTunes File Sharing, but the updates to the files never transferred across the USB during sync.  Tried to use Documents to Go, but the Apple behavior keeps them from syncing via USB, so when I am home and have no wifi/internet there is no way to transfer the files.  The other apps I have looked at also use wifi/internet to get around the problematic Apple behavior, so there is no way to connect via USB that I have found other than the iTunes.  Have not been able to locate any helpful information to configure the File Sharing to hotsync the files between pod and computer.

    I am trying to USB sync Word, Excel, and PDF files between the ipod and the PC.
    Pretty sure icloud has to have the internet to work, but I can try to see what USB options there are there when time permits.
    Pretty sure dropbox has to have the internet to work, but I can try to see what USB options there are there when time permits.

  • How should I set up Premiere elements organizer?

    I'm using PS CS5 and Lightroom 3. I'm about to install Premiere Elements 9 to do some editing and animation. Since I can view my images and clips in LR library and also Adobe Bridge, what are the advantages or disadvantages of PE organizer? How should I set up the defaults and use PE Organizer?  I'm a little concerned about using the same file in different programs. For example, say i have an image that's already been processed for printing and has a specific color profile/ color space that I want to use now as a starting point for an animation in PE. I just don't want to end up writing over previous data but I'm  also concerned about having 15 verisions of the same file. Any suggestions for peace of mind? I'm running windows 7.

    I would recommend posting your inquiry to the Premiere Elements forum.

  • How do I set the settings back to default?

    Inherited my photoshop from previous employee.  How do I set the settings back to default like the keyboard shortcuts and anything else in the preferences?  Would like to do this without reinstal as finding the original disc will probably be a hassle.
    Thanks

    you can reset the Photoshop preferences in the following way
    Windows: Shift + Ctrl + Alt
    Mac: Shift + Command + Option
    Hold down the above keyboard combinations while starting photoshop.
    You will be asked if you want to reset preferences -answer yes.
    Cheers

  • My wife and I have iPhones with 2 different iTune accounts and iCloud accounts, How can I set my Mac and iTunes up to be able to sync all as 1?.

    My wife and I have iPhones with 2 different iTune accounts and iCloud accounts, How can I set my Mac and iTunes up to be able to sync all as 1?.

    You can't merge two iTunes accounts.

  • I bought my wife a new 4S for Christmas, how should I set her up?  I already have an apple ID but should I give her a unique ID as well?  And if so how do I connect her to my iTunes account?  Thanks

    I have an apple ID but should I set her up with a unique ID as well?  And if so how do I link her to our iTunes library?  Thanks

    You must first go to your Apple ID and take the device off of your listed devices and then wait until it is updated accordingly ...Next link the iPhone to her Apple ID.  go to the app store and on to 'featured' scroll down to the bottom and it shows your apple id, click it and sign out and you can then sign in with your new apple id
    If you mean your iCloud ID, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the ID you want to use.  If you are signing back into the same account, just with a renamed ID, choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted.  Your data will be synced back when you sign back in.  However, if you are changing to a new account with a new ID and need to migrate your synced data to the new account, choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted.  Then choose Merge to upload your data to the new account when you sign back in and turn on your iCloud data syncing.
    If you want to keep your photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll before deleting the account (tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Sae to Camera Roll).

  • How should I set GPG to use with KMail or even rather Thunderbird?

    In the last 3 hours I tried to set Thunderbird (Enigmail) and KMail to use my GPG key. I failed.
    I made the keypairs with Kgpg, installed enigmail, restarted the Thunderbird, set everything, but TB didn't asked for password, only gave an error message that it can't use gpg in batch mode and the password is wrong:
    gpg parancssor és kimenet:
    /usr/bin/gpg
    gpg: Probléma van az ügynökkel. Letiltom a használatát.
    gpg: can't query passphrase in batch mode
    gpg: Érvénytelen jelszó. Próbálja újra...
    gpg: can't query passphrase in batch mode
    gpg: Érvénytelen jelszó. Próbálja újra...
    gpg: can't query passphrase in batch mode
    gpg: skipped "<my e-mail>": rossz jelszó
    gpg: [stdin]: sign+encrypt failed: rossz jelszó - its in Hungarian, it says: Problem with the agent. Disabling use. Wrong password. Try again.
    I read a lot and all I found is that I have to disable the use of gpg-agent in Enigmail's settings, but it was alredy disabled, despite I got this message:
    "Your system uses gpg-agent or a similar tool for passphrase handling (gpg-agent is mandatory if GnuPG v2.0 or later is used). Since caching of passphrases is handled by gpg-agent, the respective timeout settings in OpenPGP are disregarded. In order to change passphrase caching options, please configure your gpg-agent tool."
    After many pages I gave up, it seems it cannot be solved.
    So I tried KMail. But KMail didn't ask password, too. Google, searching. I found that I should install pinentry-qt. Well, pinentry is already installed and I have pinentry, pinentry-qt and pinentry-qt4, too. So I searched for another solution. Then I found that I should use gpg-agent (I used it already according to Thunderbird) and I have to write use-agent to .gnupg/gpg.conf. It was already there. Then I found that I have to make a file, .gnupg/gpg-agent.conf whit this content:
    pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-qt4
    no-grab
    default-cache-ttl 1800
    So I made it. After this I add the eval "$(gpg-agent --daemon)" to my .xinitrc, as it was written in many posts. I logged out and in. Still no luck.
    The gpg-agent in terminal says:
    gpg-agent: gpg-agent running and available
    I tried a test I found on forums: echo "test" | gpg -ase -r 0xDEADBEEF | gpg. It says:
    1024-bit RSA key, ID CFF2728D, created 2011-05-17 (main key ID CD35B00C)
    gpg: problem with the agent -disabling agent use.
    Then it asks the passphrase. I type it in, but then a message appears that I didn't have any public key.
    I tried to disable gpg-agent, but didn't helped. Thunderbird said:
    "can't connect to `/tmp/gpg-y2XPqU/S.gpg-agent': Kapcsolat elutasítva
    gpg: Nem tudok kapcsolódni "/tmp/gpg-y2XPqU/S.gpg-agent" objektumhoz: connect failed" - connection refused. Can't connect to /tmp... object.
    KMail simply says bad passphrase.
    So. How can I use GPG? What should I do, how should I start? Is it possible at all? I just wanted to sign and encrypt e-mails. It seemed very easy.
    ps.: all the installed softwares are up to dated. And sorry about the mistakes in my English, if any!
