HT4946 Can we change the default backup directory for iPhones in iTunes ? My C:\ drive is FULL due to the 64 GB backup that I just tried to do... I have an external that would handle it.

Finally! After jumping thru 15,000 hoops I finally get to ask my question!
I have a 40 GB main drive that is full to bursting on account of iTunes backing up my iPhone to it [64 GB iPhone]. All I ever intended to put on this drive was my OS [Win XP], then all sorts of programs that I chose to install started defaulting to it without the option of changing the drive designation. Enter Apple, who does the same thing and then offers no clear way to change it! GRRRRRR!
Can someone please find an easy way for me to back this thing up without selling a kidney to afford the iCloud [which I rashly assumed was free according to the advertising! 5 GB wouldn't back up my notes let alone my apps or photos! The Cloud should match the size of device you purchase!]
Thanks,
Dave

What computer do you have?
What operating system is it running?

How can I change the default EXPORT directory for latest iPhoto?

Perhaps I am missing something, but I have as yet to find a way to set my default EXPORT directory. Since installing Lion and the iPhoto update, whenever I want to export it wants to put the image in 'Pictures', but I want 'Desktop' generally or somewhere else.
I am all set with library and import location. In fact, Import is smart enough to remember where I import my stuff FROM - namely, the desktop.
But once I have edited files and want to export them, the default jumps back to Pictures.
Again, this is NEW and CHANGED behavior with the latest release to coincide with iOS 5 ...
I just want it to remember my default from export to export ... heck, it even changes within the same session!

I can certainly confirm the behaviour and have no solution to it.
That said, in the export dialogue typing command-d will point the export to the desktop.

Can I set the default save directory for bookmarks?

I always save a copy of my bookmarks to my USB key. But, each time I save a new copy, within the same session, I must repeat the process and navigate again to the same drive (USB key) and folder. Is there a solution?

HT204150 How can I change calendar/contacts sync setting for iPhone?

contact not backing up on my imac address book

On the device, go to Settings>icloud. Be sure icloud is on and using the right ID. If not, scroll to the bottom of the page and tap Delete Account - this just disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost. Then log back in using the correct ID. ALSO - be sure the Contacts are turned on (on the same screen).

:-) How can we change the default file path for Bank file ( dmee ) ?

Hi All,
We encounter a problem.
Electronic bank file ( created after a F110 run ) are created, in an automatic way to the DIR_TEMP directory. ( On the SAP server )
How can we change the default file path for Bank files ( dmee ) ?
We'd like to specify another path.
Thx for your help.
Erwan

Hello,
Make sure that you have created the directory in transaction code AL11 with the help of basis consultants.
You can link your PC directory to the application server.
You can maintain the path whether your file needs to get saved in OBPM4 against your DMEE structure example GB_BACS etc.
If you do not maintain any path in OBPM4, then the file gets saved to temporary directory. If you give the directory path name in OBPM4, then the file gets saved to that directory with numbers 0001, 0002, 0003 etc till it reaches 9999 and reset from the beginning.
If you give the path as well as file name as ABCD, then the file gets generated to that directory folder with ABCD0001, ABCD0002, ABCD0003 etc. till it reaches ABCD9999 and reset from the beginning.
Hope this solves your problem.

Ravi

Can't change default installation directory for silent installation of Flash Builder 4.5

Hello,
I'm trying to create a custom installation script for Flash Builder 4.5 in silent mode.
I have created a flash builder msi installer using "Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition".
I would like to change the default installation directory during silent installation.
Could you please help ?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Ryad

The install.xml in the "Adobe Flash Builder 4.5 Installer/deploy" folder will have the INSTALLDIR property. You can change this property to your custom location.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Deployment>
<Properties>

<Property name="INSTALLDIR">C:\Program Files\Adobe</Property>
</Properties>
<Payloads>

Changing the Default Save Directory in Acrobat

I am currently working with multiple systems, some using Acrobat 7.0 and some using 6.0.
Basically, I am wondering if in either of these versions of Acrobat it is possible to change the default save directory to something other than 'My Documents.' Acrobat will remember the last directory I saved to if I have already saved to that location once in a given session, but if I exit the program and then enter it again, it defaults back to 'My Documents' instead of the last place I saved.
Is there a way to set the default directory in 6.0 and/or 7.0?

No. Put a short cut to where you want to go in the My Documents folder and you are only 1 step away.

HT201342 In Apple Mail, how do I change the default outgoing address for mailboxes that I've set up?

In Apple Mail (Yosemite on a MacBook Pro), the default address for outgoing messages from mailboxes that I've set up that are *not* tied to separate email accounts has suddenly become my iCloud address (which I almost never use). I've got my default set to use whatever address is the default for the mailbox I'm in. This works fine for mailboxes associated with different mail accounts, and until recently it worked fine for mailboxes that I had set up for convenience, using my default email address (which is an Earthlink address I've had for many years). Somewhere within the last year, perhaps with an upgrade to the OS, I've found that outgoing mail from one of those mailboxes (but not from the general Inbox) defaults to my iCloud address. I have to manually choose a different address each time (which is hard to remember to do). This is new behavior, and very unwelcome. But I can see no way to change the default email address associated with each mailbox.
How do I undo this unwanted connection?

Hi everyone
Sorry however I'm experiencing a similiar issue, in that I have 10 differing email accounts.
However in the default email accounts, for some bizarre reason, only 4 show, being icloud, one of my older yahoo email accounts, my work email and then "From My PC".
I run two other businesses of which I have a proper Google Mail Business Accountsfor each, but non of my google email address show in the default list.
Is there any reason why?
I actually want one of those to show.
I have put my google mail to the top of the inbox, however it still doesn't show?
I've also put the default calendar as my google business account but still the default account doesn't display.
Any ideas?

How can I change the default process priority for plugin-container?

I'm on Windows XP and using Firefox 16.0.2.
While browsing the web I often listen to pandora, but the music playback is always choppy or jerky. It especially occurs when scrolling pages up/down on other tabs. I saw on another question - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/930496 - that one solution is to change the plugin-container.exe priority to AboveNormal. I've done this several times and it works really well!!
I also tried changing the firefox.exe priority up and down, but this is ineffective (choppy playback problem still occurs). It is very much related to the plugin-container priority.
Please could you provide an about:config option to set the default process priority for the plugin-container. It would make a big difference for those users who have the problem. Thanks!

thanks
i also found solution for my poblem:
i have this code:
jMenuItem jMnItEdit;
jMnItEdit.setAccelerator( KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_ENTER, 0));
also i had ActionListener bounded to this JMenuItem
but Ialso had in form JTable and it always grabbed my VK_ENTER event and that menu item wasn't working at all
but when i overrode that input map for JTable and set
tableInputMap.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER, 0, false), "none");
everything started to work perfectly,
thanks a lot

Can I change the default page size for SYSBUILD?

When I start SYSBUILD it always has a default page size of Letter set, is there any way to change this as most of the blocks I wish to print are to be printed on A3 paper?
Many thanks
Tim

Hi Tim,
Unfortunately there is no option to change the default print settings for SystemBuild. You must manually select the A3 paper size under File>>Page Setup.
Thanks for the suggestion though, I will pass that on to R&D as a product suggestion for a future release.

Can I change the default 'File Type' for PL/SQL Source File to '*.prc' ?

Want to change the 'default' extension for PL/SQL source to '*.prc'
When navigating 'File' / 'Save As', and selecting the 'File Type' list box,
The default 'File Type' for PL/SQL Source File is '*.pls'.
Can I change the default 'File Type' for PL/SQL Source File to '*.prc' ?
I have followed , 'Tools', 'Preferences' , 'File Types' and added '.prc' as 'Sql Script' file type, because (PL/SQL Source) is not present in the list.

You can certainly overwrite the 'Save As' extension as you are saving the file. I have added an ER for more control over this functionality.

You can redirect <Profile>\<AppData>\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup to a folder on another drive using NTFSLink (shell ext., might only work on XP) or Junction (cmd line tool).
In essence you move the existing folder to a new location, create an empty folder where the old one used to be, then get the operating system/tool to link the two togther and silently redirect any file operation on the old location through to the new one.
