HT4137 If you backup your phone is that the same as sync

MY husband just bought the iPhone 5 and currently has the 4 if I have his 4 backed up on the computer does the phone still need to sync to save everything? Our main concern is him losing his contacts because of work. The phone does sync but only goes through 3 steps. He has no music on his phone just a few pictures and like I said lots of contacts. His email he uses for work is yahoo if the phone is backed up will his email be back on his phone?

syncronize mean that one level out so both sides are the same new music bought on the ios device is transfered to the computer and new stuff on the computer is transfered to the ios device
backup is a full copy of the ios device storage put on the computer for safe storage and maybe later restore
stuff like sms's and the likes are only present in the backup

Can you use time capsule for your mac and have readynas backup your pc's on the same network

Can you use time capsule for your mac and use readynas to back up your pc's on the same network

Sure, that is trivial setup.. they both have different names and IP addresses.
You should be able to use ReadyNas for TM backup but you should check the latest state of play for that.

Can you backup your phone on someone else's computer?

If you need to go get a new phone are you able to backup your stuff on your phone and then after updating your new phone can the owner of the computer delete your stuff and plug there phone in and have their stuff on there after??

Hello Elena10
The best way to do that is to create a new user on a friend’s computer and then you can delete the user once you are done.

How do you get your site to appear the same in all web browsers?

There are some things that show up differently in Safari than they do in IE and Firefox, how do I get everything to jive the same? I think it is in the code which I am not an expert on. My website was a template that I purchased online and most of the code was already built in. I have some of my links in Safari showing white when you rollover them but when I look in IE and Firefox they're not there. Can anyone offer any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks

Actually what you are learning here is to create a stylesheet for all of your web pages. Including all of your styles inline in the page's code is very cumbersome.
Each of your pages needs code that refers to your stylesheet:
<style type="text/css" media="all">
@import url("../../css/content.css");
</style>
<style type="text/css" media="print">
@import url("../../css/content_print.css");
</style>
This assumes that your stylesheets (in my case, one for print, one for browsers) are located in a folder called /css which is a habit I have for neatness.
One thing that Dreamweaver does very well is keeps track of your styles and helps you edit styles to suit. I'm using CS3 which doesn't really allow you to look at the result of rollovers from within the application, but I keep Firefox handy for previewing. Problem is, once you create a style for a "visited" link, you can no longer see the result of the style for unvisited links in your browser unless you clear your browsers cache. Dreamweaver CS3 always shows links in their unvisited state.
There is other code I use to make Microsoft's non-compliant browsers do the right thing, though rollovers, visited, and such all tend to work the same in all browsers, save the most antediluvian.


The above code handles issues with Microsoft's intransigence pretty well, and my sites tend to look really uniform. But in the case of menus, I often have to write a completely different stylesheet to wrestle with Internet Exploder:
This is stylesheet reference for my menus:
<style type="text/css" media="all">
@import url("../css/menu/menu.css");
</style>

Then I craft the changes for Internet Exploiter 6 in a separate stylesheet.
This should give you an idea of how powerful an external stylesheet can be. You can use "if" statements to handle the differences between the Microsoft non-compliant browsers and the more modern and compliant browsers, like Safari, Firefox and Opera.
You can see the result in any browser at http://www.readingsbykaren.com

Can you restore your apps after setting the same iphone up as new iphone? And can you restore each app manually?

I restored my iphone because I have hundreds of apps and wouldn't want to delete them. Well I don't want to exactly permanently delete them. I just want them off my iphone as it makes it laggy and kills the battery. So I backed it up. However, I am wondering if I can restore them after settting the iphone as a new iphone. The latter is an option which exists after you restored your iphone. I hope you know what I mean. I also wonder if you can restore one app at a time manually.
Thanks

Just use Itunes to mark which apps you want on the phone and which you don't. No need to wipe the phone as Itunes is an wasy way to manage your apps.

You should only use Apple Approved Chargers.

How do you backup your Zen Touch (or any other playe

I have some seen posts that suggest that you backup your MP3 player. This sounds like a sensible idea. I own a Zen Touch, and so far have been using WMP 0 exclusi'vely to sync files to my ZT.
Can someone tell specifically how I might backup my ZT (even though I have all my music on my PC, so I probably do not need to do something explicitly)?
I think others might find this backup information useful.

hot_guitar: Backing up is covered in my Nomad Primer, but as Cat intimates, it's just a case of backing up the data. There's no way just to image the player, for example.
lukeg_uk: Similar to hot_guitar, take a look at my Nomad Primer. I think you'll find you can't copy files with DRM back to the PC. I would guess there are guides about backing up the licenses and the files on the PC itself, at least you would hope (and this is one of the irritations about DRM).

Recorded a video in portrait mode and want to switch it to landscape mode is there any way else to do it without useing quicktime pro....hope apple fixes this in ios 7 the video should come out in landscape regardless of the way you hold your phone

is there any way else to do it without useing quicktime pro....hope apple fixes this in ios 7 the video should come out in landscape regardless of the way you hold your phone or if you start in portrait and go into landscape while recording

You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

If you have the iPhone 4s and you buy the iwork...later when you change your phone to iPhone 5 with the same app name and code the iwork still free to download into your new phone???

if you have the 4s and you buy the iwork...later when you change your phone to 5 with the same app name and code the iwork still free to download into your new phone???

Yes as long as you use the same Apple ID for iTunes that you used to download the app originally.
Hope that helps

If you lose your phone and you get a replacement . does you imei number change? or do they keep it the same as your old one?

Hi
Every handset has a unique series of identifiers, one of which is the IMEI number, so if you exchanged the handset (for example if it was not working & you were still under warranty) your new handset would have a new IMEI number.
What Apple do though is if you formally exchange your handset (again, under warranty etc) then they record the change on their system, but also give you a sticker which is meant to attach to the original box. That way, if you come to sell the handset, you have a proper record of why the IMEI number on the handset is different from the IMEI number on the box.
