  • IPad synced with PC - how do I remove "settings and preferences" from PC?

    Hi all: initially, I synced my iPad with my office PC, but I decided to let my iPhone stay synced to that PC and I'll sync my iPad with my home MacBook Pro. It seems that the apps for the iPhone and iPad are really different. I ended up having to buy all new apps for the iPad as the iPhone apps showed up really small.
    Anyway with that said, how do I remove the "settings/preferences" of the iPad on the PC?
    Please give directions slowly as I'm really a Mac user and don't know my way too well around a PC.
    Thanks,
    Anne

    Although most iPhone apps can be installed and used on an iPad, they are different. They were written to be optimized for the iPhone and iPod Touch screen size. After an app is upgraded to be universal which includes being optimized for the iPad's screen size, it will look much better on the iPad. With my apps that have been upgraded to being universal, I do not have two versions in my iTunes library - one optimized for the iPod, and another optimized for the iPhone.
    Anyway with that said, how do I remove the "settings/preferences" of the iPad on the PC?
    You don't, or can't.
    In regards to iTunes content, an iPad can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring iTunes content including 3rd party apps from an iTunes library on another computer, all iTunes content transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPad first.
    You can sync contacts, calendar events, and Safari bookmarks with the supported applications on multiple computers. An iPad can have different sync preferences under the various tabs for the iPad sync preferences with iTunes on each computer.

  • Lost settings and preferences on startup

    I had a very unusual problem this AM. On computer start up all my FF settings, preferences, tool bar settings, homepage were lost and FF reverted back to it's default settings. My bookmarks were still there. I've never seen that before. I did a system restart and still the same thing. So I had to reset all the settings and preferences. Nothing odd with my IE9 browser. I did a security sweep and everything was normal. Anybody seen this before?

    Hey there, do you also still have your history, cookies and passwords intact? If yes, this sounds like someone activated Firefox Reset on that computer. In any case, you should be able to find your old profile on your computer still as Firefox reset just creates a copy and leaves the old profile as it is. You can use this article to locate your profile, and it also links to the profile manager to switch profiles: [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]

  • How to modify regional settings and keep Acrobat 9.4.1 working?

    When I modify the regional settings on my W7 PC (i.e. switching the decimal symbol and digit grouping symbol from dot to comma and vice-versa), I cannot print to Adobe PDF Printer nor can I convert Office documents to PDF files anymore. It seem like the joboptions files were getting corrupted (I can see read errors).
    Can anyone advise on how to modify the regional settings and keep Acrobat 9.4.1 Pro working properly? Do I have to adopt the joboptions files (and if yes, how?)?
    Thank you for your advice!

    The defaults for three are blank entries. That is there are no defaults, The only way to get those back to being blank would be to delete your preferences file ( Home->Library->Preferences->com.apple.Aperture,plist ) and possibly the files in *Home->Library->Program Support->Aperture* (but I don't think you would need to do these, not sure.)
    However before you do this you should know there is no drawback to having these entries filled in. Aperture would only attempt to use them if you actually selected them while using Aperture. It won't be looking for them on startup. And if the programs pointed to by these entries no longer exist on your system Aperture won't even fill in the names in the menu items where these are pointed to ( *Photos->Edit with* for example)

  • How to push color settings and profiles?

    I understand AAMEE 3.0 does not support packaging settings alltogether with the apps.
    So the questions comes, how do you guys push the color settings and the workspaces to the newly deployed CS6 packages?
    Is there a safe/approved way to do it?
    Thank you.

    FOGRA39 is fine for sheet fed offset-printing in Europe (central Europe at least).
    For web fed offset printed magazines you may want to use either ISO Coated v2 300 (ECI) or PSO LWC Improved (ECI) if you have no further information.
    And for newspapers ISOnewpaper26v4.
    http://www.eci.org/doku.php?id=en:downloads
    You may want to read up (in the Help or  other resources) on Color Management, though, to get a grasp on factors like Render Intent.
    And better not use »Assign Profile« unless you are certain you understand what this does.
    Will be printed CMYK image as well, as it looks?
    That would naturally depend on your monitor and how regularly it is calibrated.

  • How long does  erase settings and content take?

    Let me try this again. My question is......  "How long does the erase settings and content process take?"  I have an iPhone 4s 16gig.
    Its been on the screen black screen with  rotating circle for about an hour already.
    Hope this doesnt get my  post erased again.

    You're over 2 months late on this reply, and also wrong. Erase All Content and Settings on any phone from the 3GS forward simply writes over the encryption key, thus scrambling all of the data on the phone. It takes under 10 seconds. On the iPhone Classic and 3G it could take several hours, but not phones with hardware encryption line the 3GS, 4, 4S and 5.

  • How do i remove the settings and preferences of the iCloud Control Panel?

    I had problems with my Office 365 (Outlook 2013) and making it work with iCloud. I repaired the install of my office 2013, but the iCloud Control Panel keeps giving me an error as it thinks the icloud integration for Outlook 2013 is still installed....which it isnt.
    I cannot revert to the setting i had with only Photostream active.
    The only solution was to uninstall the iCloud Control Panel. I tried deleting some files from users->roaming->apple, which looked like preference files. But after reinstalling iCloud Control Panel, it immediately opened the old setting which it remembered somehow and uninstalling didnt deletet, stating the faulty Office connection is active...which it isnt.
    Pity i cant even now use photostream, to have my images on my desktop. I know i should buy a mac..where you can jus simply delete preference files from the user library. But does anyone know how to really delete every install history of the iCloud Control Panel on a pc. So i can do a clean install and start using photostream again
    Any help is much appreciated

    thank you for taking the time to reply to my issue. was there something i did that caused this to happen and if so, can i undo it? a second problem has now surfaced; i cannot get my firefox to load. i tried the suggestion in an article on this site i.e., to bring up the Task Manager and end the process for firefox.exe so i can uninstall/reinstall the firefox application. this does not work for me. HELP! i'd much rather use firefox than explorer.

  • Can I use Synch to migrate (import) settings and preferences and history etc. from Firefox 4.0.1 on a PC to a new Mac running Snow Leopard, and if so, how?

    I love Firefox and have relied on it for years. But I'm now planning to move from PC to Mac and would like to keep as much of my Firefox personalization and customization as possible. I have never needed to use the Synch feature before, and I cannot find reliable instructions telling me how to do it in these circumstances. Does anyone have any helpful suggestions? Thanks very much.

    Ubuntu may have moved those three button as well to that control bar.

  • How can I sync settings and programs between 2 user accounts on the same mac?

    Hi,
    I have created 2 user accounts on my mac, one for personal, and one for work (but both for me). It's primarily for organization, keeping files separate, but also because I have two separate Dropbox accounts and only one can be installed per user. I want to know if there's a way to sync selected programs, files, and settings between the two accounts? Basically, I'd like to have the same programs and settings for both user accounts, and just different files.
    I can't seem to find any info on this, but maybe I'm using the wrong terms!
    Thanks!

    To give other users read-only access to your iTunes library, use the Sharing features of iTunes. Sharing works over the local network as well as on the same computer. See the built-in help for details.
    To give others selective access to your iPhoto library, you have the option of using iCloud Photo Sharing, if the privacy implications don't bother you. The images will be stored temporarily on Apple servers.
    If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support articles linked below.
    iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
    iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users
    There is a way to share the library without moving it to a secondary volume. If you really need to do that, ask for instructions.

  • How do I migrate settings and signature from one computer to another??

    I have a new computer. I have installed Adobe X Pro on the new machine, and now I woudl like ot move my preferences and signatures over. What do I need to copy from one machine to the other???

    You don't copy signatures, you'd copy digital ID files. The self-signed digital IDs that you create with Acrobat are saved as .pfx files (Win) or .p12 files (Mac). You can get the folder they're stored in via the Security Settings dialog in Acrobat:
    More info: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/X/pro/using/WS11dd809af63f0e1e-43e0464b12b4384d3b6-800 0.html#WSe02e12b45a94f4a2-537cbc1612fe1252143-8000

  • How to export Account settings and mailboxes

    I am migrating to a new computer.
    Now I need to trasfer some of the Mail.app data from the old mac, including:
    --the mail account settings
    --For POP3 accounts, i need to transfer the msgs for those inboxes because the received mails do not have a copy on the servers.
    --the Sent box in Mail.app. It seems this is a "global" container for all outgoing msgs, regardless IMAP or POP3 accounts. And I assume all the msgs therein are stored locally.
    These are everything I need to transfer. And not with other user data. So i guess the Migration Assistant wont help.
    Email clients normally have Export/Import functions but i cant find them with Mail.app.
    So how should I do the transfer as specified above? Thanks folks.

    If you don't want to use Migration Assistant, you could just copy the files to an external HD and then copy them into the exact same locations on the new machine. You can find the emails here:
    Users -> Library -> Mail -> there are several folders you want to copy: Mailboxes, all POP-yourname (if more than one).
    As for account settings: what I've done is simply take a screenshot of every window in accounts, named it, and then have a copy to look at if I need to set it up again.
    Address Book: If you will highlight one entry, then "select all", and then choose export under file menu, you can export the entire Address book and import the entries into the new one.

  • Problems locking settings and preferences.

    So, as the subject says, When I click the lock button, to lock my preferences and settings, the lock does not close. It just flinches and stays open. I find this very disturbing and have had to rebuild my system from an unprotected infiltration and have never run into this issue before. Anyone else having the same problems? I first noticed it when I attempted to lock my time machine settings.

    Works fine here on all five systems. Did you install SL as an upgrade or install on a freshly formatted drive? If the former then you may have had a dysfunctional system to start with prior to upgrading. Erasing the drive and reinstalling from scratch should fix the problem. However, before doing that try deleting the /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist file. In addition there will be one or more com.apple.systempreferences.xxx.plist file located in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ folder, too. Delete as well. Restart the computer.

  • Settings and Preferences blank

    The page appears with the Adobe logo etc but none of the
    settings fields display. I just see the area where they and the OK
    button should appear. Originally I saw these but the OK button
    never worked. Now nothing. Have had the problem for a couple of
    days now.

    OK now. Guess the elves were having their playtime.

  • Illustrator keeps making En_US settings and preferences folders

    Hello everyone,
    I am having a problem with Illustrator CS6. I had the En_GB version installed, but somehow Illustrator keeps making En_US folders and uses those as the default. Is there a way that I can just have one language installed in my preferences and libraries, so I don't have to figure out every time where for example my user swatch libraries etc. are stored? And if I make a new 'print' document for instance, it uses millimeters instead of points, as it is in the En_GB version.
    Somehow I think it might have something to do with a strange update I think occurred. The thing is: I got a message to update and then it seemed it was reinstalling the whole Illustrator application. I don't have the cloud subscription yet, but somehow it looked like that update had something to do with that. Does this ring a bell with anyone?
    I can remove the En_US folders, but whenever I start up Illustrator they magically appear again.
    Hope you can help me figure this out!
    Marinka

    en_US and en_GB folders are dependent on the Language you install the software.
    If you install the software in English (Universal) then en_US folder gets created, when in English (International) then en_GB gets created and when with Japan then en_JP folder gets created.
    It is not dependent on the preferences or setting in Illustrator.
    I think that was Mylenium trying to point in the first reply.
    Have you uninstalled or re-installed the Illustartor , also did you know in what language did you installed the software ?
