HT1766 Can I backup manually and leave off the apps ?

I believe I need to perform a reset to the factory default and know I need to backup my iphone first.  When restore the backup I would like to leave off the apps.  Can you restore bit by bit and not automatically restore the apps ?  Thanks for any tips.

Makes sense to me so I'm not exactly sure what you're confused about. This clearly states that contacts are part of the backup in order to preserve recent calls and favorites.
Well, let's start by emphasizing the back half of the same sentence you quoted:
* Your contacts are part of the backup to preserve recent calls and favorites lists.
Why would Apple even need to include the end of that sentence, and not simply end it at "Your contacts are part of the backup."?  What does that last part really mean to you?  By adding that last statement, it could easily be interpreted to mean as "the only aspect of your contacts that are recovered are those you've designated as favorites, and those who you've recently called".  If this is so clear to you, please explain what Apple meant by that last part.

Your comment of "Apple only claims to save your Favorites and recent call history, that's all" is wrong and you need to learn to read.
Please, no need for the snarky reply.  We're all here to learn, and help others.

    Hi linwood02,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    See these links for some good information about what's backed up by iCloud:

    Here’s what iCloud backs up:
    Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and booksYour iCloud backup includes information about the content you have purchased, but not the purchased content itself. When you restore from an iCloud backup, your purchased content is automatically downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore based on iTunes in the Cloud availability by country. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the store.

  • Everytime I get online I have to manually go to tools and turn off the proxy before I can load any webpages. Is there anyway I can keep it off permanetly?

    Everytime I want to use the internet I have to adjust the settings and turn off the proxy. If I don't my webpages wont display. Is there anyway I can make the settings remember to keep the proxy off rather than having to do it myself EVERY time I get on the internet?

  • Can I mark where I leave off when playing different playlists?

    Q: Can I mark where I leave off one playlist when switching to another, and back again.   For example, if I'm listening to a long audio recording of a seminar and wish to jump to another playlist, can I put a virtual "bookmark" in the first file so when I come back to it, it picks up where I last left off?
    If I can, I haven't figured out how and would celebrate your brilliance with an explanation how.
    Thank you!!!

    cable, I'm starting to think it's not the ipad because it's working fine out of the car.  yesterday it was saying not charging.  If it is the input, I guess I'll have to plug it into another one somewhere to determine whether something is bent or broken inside the ipad input or if it is the cable.

  • How do i log out off the app store as it has the wrong email and I can't do my updates as i don't know the password

    How do i log out off the app store as it has the wrong email and I can't do my updates as i don't know the password

    Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store, tap on the Apple ID, and choose 'Sign Out'.
    However, logging out of the iTunes & App Store won't change the Apple ID you need to use to update an app.  It only affects what Apple ID you're using to download a new app.
    Apps always have to be updated using the Apple ID that was used to download it originally.  Go to iforgot.apple.com to reset that password.  If you cannot do so, then contact Apple Account Security, or delete the app and redownload it using an Apple ID and Password that you know.

  • I'm trying to use a madcatz controller on the mac but it turns on for 2 seconds and turns off. the system profiler picks it up as a xbox 360 gamepad but says its not been configured. how can i allow my self use this with my games.

    i'm trying to use a madcatz controller on the mac but it turns on for 2 seconds and turns off. the system profiler picks it up as a xbox 360 gamepad but says its not been configured. how can i allow my self use this with my games!

    I have exactly the same problem.
    I'm a little peed-off with Microsoft on this. The original wireless controller I have doesn't work either since the cable I'm using is 'just' the charge and play cable, so a direct connection to my Mac won't work with this cable. It's a cable for god's sake. Why on EARTH put any limitations on this!?!?
    Next I learn I need an additional USB wireless receiver from Microsoft to get my original 360 controller to talk to my Mac. As I certainly don't want to fork any more microsoft dollars on this, this is not an option.
    Next I think, yes! I have a MadCatz 360 wired USB controller. This should surely do the trick just plugging it in and the way I go. But oh no, for some reason I plug my MadCatz Xbox360 controller in, it flashes a few times then switches off and can't be turned on again.
    The System Profiles recognizes it as a MadCatz 360 device controller but that is about it, but the ontroller software I download for the System Prefs (360Controller, USBOverdrive etc) don't even recognize the controller as being plugged in.
    What the **** Is The Microsoft Deal with all of this!?!?
    PS: Oh, and I forgot to mention, there are No drivers for device 4716 that I can find on the MadCatz website, or am I going blind?
    If anyone has a link, it would be appreciated.

  • While trimming a clip in my timeline, the entire timeline moves with my trim. How can I stop that and leave a gap in-between clips?

    While trimming a clip in my timeline, the entire timeline moves with my trim. How can I stop that and leave a gap in-between clips? Also when I use my blade it only leaves a dotted line in the clip. How can I make that a solid line? I do a lot of flickering in my videos and don't need that some what of a snapping effect while I edit. Please help me someone. I believe i upgraded from FCP 10.0.1 to 10.0.3 and before it never did this.

    Mark an In point and an Out point (which creates a Range) and hit the forward delete key (Replace with Gap.) On a MacBook, you'll probably need to hold down the Fn key and type the Delete key (or, I think you might be able to use Shift-Delete as the same command). On an iMac/Mac Pro keyboard, it's the key just to the left of 'end' or the next key above the left arrow key.
    You can use the Range tool (hold down the R key and click drag over your clip) or the Blade tool to cut at the in and out (then select the cut and replace with gap).
    You can also go into Commands > Customize (command-option-K) and assign a different key to Replace with Gap.
    If you need to ripple edit the ends (cut), create a small section that is Gap, and hold down the T key while you use the mouse to click drag both ends (double sided trim cursor) of the cut.
    Don't worry about the dotted line blade... That just lets you know that the frames on either side of the cut are continuous, or sequential — nothing has been moved yet. Once frames from either side of the mark have been cut, it becomes a full fledged cut resembling a separate clip.

    I live in China as well and my iPhone5s is the model A1530 I bougth outside China. I have the same problem as Nikatnight with the iPhone while the iPad Air (wifi only) is working like a charm. It must be definitely something related to the carrier since I was abroad few days ago and everything worked well.
    If you pay attention at the source of your maps, you'll discover they are provided by AutoNavi instead of TomTom and make them appear in chinese with their own border interpretation. Queries are only acceppted in Chinese (p.e. if I type in english "Los Angeles International Airport"  it replies it cannot locate it)
    I suppose everything will be fine when you'll be out of censorship....
    Perhaps iOS  Apple Maps are absolutely useless for expatriate in China.
    Use Google Maps instead
    BTW, I'm surprised how much Apple might prostrate towards hard power Governments.... No matter what, money are always on top!

    Sounds like then maybe a "friend" got hold of your phone and set a SIM card password.  Not much you can do if that is the case if you do not know the password except go to your carrier and request a new SIM card.

    Your question is very abstract, and difficut to understand what you want to do.  Do you wish to control your spectrum analyzer for TURN-ON and TURN-OFF power?
    Assuming your question is so...
    To turn the instrument power OFF, you should look for the GPIB command that can do this in the instrument's operation manual. 
    To turn the instrument power ON, it is very difficult or almost impossible to do so, because your app program will have no way to communicate with your "unpowered" instrument. 

  • Is there a way to "mix" the nodes and leaves of the tree so if they are at the same level, they will display in a specified order.

    Is there a way to "mix" the nodes and leaves of the tree so that even if they are at the same level (1,2,3...), they will display in a specified order (via sort sequence, alphabetical, etc.).
    History:
    We are using the Tree UI element to display/manage a material bom interface. We seem to be running into an issue with displaying the nodes/leaves of the tree.. regardless of the order that the context is built (which is currently the order of the exploded BOM from from CS_BOM_EXPL_MAT_V2), the bom is displayed with the nested boms at the top of each level and the single materials below them. For example. If  TK1 contains Material1, Material2, Material3, Kit1(containing component1, comp2, comp3), Material4, Kit2(containing comp4, comp5, comp6), and Material5 (in this order), the tree will display with the A level node as TK1, the next node as Kit1 (with its subleaves of comp1,comp2,comp3), Kit2(with subleaves of comp4,comp5,comp6), THEN Material1, material2, material3, material4, material5.  Our users are adamant about the items displaying in the correct order (which should be alphabetical based on the description for one report and by location for purposes of inventory for another). I've searched but not been able to locate a similar question. If I've missed it, please point me in the right direction. The users want the tree,  not a "tree" table.  This is our first attempt at the tree, so maybe we're missing something basic?
    TK1
    -Mat1
    -Mat2
    -Mat3
    -Kit1
    --Comp1
    --Comp2
    --Comp3
    -Mat4
    -Kit2
    --Comp4
    --comp5
    --comp6
    -Material5
    displays as
    TK1
    -Kit1
    --Comp1
    --Comp2
    --Comp3
    -Kit2
    --Comp4
    --Comp5
    --Comp6
    -Mat1
    -Mat2
    -Mat3
    -Mat4
    -Mat5

    co-workers said example picture is misleading.. we can make the order work if everything is a "folder" but not a mix of "folders" and "files" (if making a visual reference to the windows browser). i.e - a file is represented as an empty folder.
    TK1    
    . Mat1
    . Mat2
    . mat3
    > kit1   
    .. comp1
    .. comp2
    .. comp3
    . mat4
    > kit2
    .. comp4
    .. comp5
    .. comp6
    . mat5
    displays at
    TK1
    > kit1
    .. comp1
    .. comp2
    .. comp3
    > kit2
    .. comp4
    .. comp5
    .. comp6
    . mat1
    . mat2
    . mat3
    . mat4
    . mat5
    we can make it work if everything is a folder. This is our current workaround.
    TK1
    > mat1
    > mat2
    > mat3
    v kit1 (when expanded)
    .. comp1
    .. comp2
    .. comp3
    > mat4
    > kit2 (when not expanded)
    > mat5
