HT4972 how change computer with which to sync?

I want to change the computer with which I normally sync from my old to my new computer. I have de-authorised my old computer in the hope that my new computer would become the new preferred one. It doesn't though. How can I change this successfully so that when I upgrade to new IOS all my pictures etc. are being saved in the back up?
Hope to hear as I can't find it anywhere.
Thanks!

You have to copy your entire iTunes folder (not just music) from your old computer to your new one using one of the methods outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527, as well as any data you are syncing with iTunes such as contacts, calendars and/or any photos you may be syncing from your computer to your phone. You then have to authorize the new computer for all Apple ID(s) used to purchase media from the iTunes and App stores in Store>Authorize this Computer.
If you are not able to do this, follow this guide to sync with the new computer with minimal or no loss of data: Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive.

How do i control which photos sync to iphone?

I have just bought a new iPhone and it has much less storage than my old one. How do I limit which photos are synced to the new phone without losing data?

Connect your iPhone to your computer and start whatever camera or image capture application you have on the computer. Your phone will be recognized as a camera and let you copy photos from the Camera Roll to your computer. You can also select photos in the Camera Roll for deletion.

How do I choose which devices sync?

My sister, mum and I have iPhones and my niece, nephew and I have iPads. The notes I place in my iPhone automatically appear on all the iPads and anything put in the iPads appears on my iPhone. However, these notes do not appear on all iPhones, as they do not appear on my mum's iPhone or my sister's iPhone, and anything in my mum's and sister's iPhone does not appear on either the other iPhones or the iPads. This not only gives others access to my notes but I have also discovered that if my notes are deleted on one device they are deleted on all devices, incl the iPhone.
How do I determine which devices my notes sync to as although I would like to access my nieces notes I do no want her to access mine, nor have the option to delete them.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I assume you are sharing a single OSX user account and each have an individual iCloud account.
You can share different groups but it will mean that only one of you can sync photostream photos with the mac.
The way to do this is to have one of you as the primary iCloud user (with photostream) and have the remaining three users accounts added as secondary accounts in system preferences > mail, contacts and calendars.

How to check with which user id a request has been transported

Can anybody tell me how to find out with which id a request has been transported to a system?
Regards,
Sridevi

Hi,
To find who has moved the request.
In STMS, Go to import overview(F5). Select the system in which you want to see who has moved the request.
Then at the top menu, in GOTO select IMPORT HISTORY(Ctrl+F7).
Once you are in import history, at the top menu in EDIT select DISPLAY MORE(Ctrl + Shift + F1).
Then it will display the users list.
Hope this helps you.
Regards,

Noob ? How change computer name

I've Googled my brains out and can't find the answer, and I did RTFM. But still can't figure out how to change the name in name column of the computer list.
When I add them the name appears as the IP address on some, as the full DNS name on some, and as the regular text name (e.g. Bill's Computer) on others. For the life of me, I can't find any way to change the one's with IP address to names.
Anyone know how?

The ones with IP address are users that probably don't even know they can name their machine, much less where top do it.
Shouldn't the IT department be the ones who name the computers, so as to keep them conformed to a standard naming convention? Are the systems not installed from a master image, all preconfigured? Sounds like bad computer management.
Regardless, changing the DNS name in the ARD admin app can be done by right clicking on any client and choosing Get Info.
However this will not change the DNS entry for the computer on your DNS server.

How do I limit which bookmarks sync between devices?

I use firefox on my home, personal laptop and work desktop with Sync, all running Firefox 29. Is there a way I can stop some bookmarks from syncing? I like having the same tools and resources (all my metasearch tools, open source intelligence links, news sites, etc.) readily available but I don't want my personal email account, financial/banking, or other sites to sync to my work desktop or going through my employer's server.

Sorry, synchronizing bookmarks is all or nothing. No way to select individual folders or separate bookmarks to Sync or to not Sync.
The best suggestion I can offer is separate user Profiles and separate Sync accounts, which is something that I have done in the past. <br />
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data
I had a Profile set up on my desktop that was basically the same on my laptop, and I has Sync setup in those Profiles. I used that laptop for on-site job reporting via in-store WiFi, and some "surfing" via a Bluetooth connection thru my phone if I had "time to kill" before leaving for the next job that day. I never did online banking in those Profiles, but used a different Profile for banking on my desktop at home. When that laptop was stolen on a job site the "thief" had temporary access ''(until I got home to change some passwords)'' to job-related website bookmarks and logins, but not any personal or financial websites.

Read the instructions carefully.

If you are attempting to update using a Mac or PC with which you do not normally sync

what happens when "If you are attempting to update using a Mac or PC with which you do not normally sync", & they say in step 2 or 3 in order not to loose your stuff "If you are updating your iOS device on a computer with which you do not normally sync , or if you disconnect your device before the sync process is complete, you may notice that some media content that was previously on your device is no longer there. You can restore this content by syncing with the Mac or PC with which you normally sync."
now what if the pc that was originally used to sync my ipod , has corrupt or bad systems files that are causing it from working correctly...? when i plug it in to the o.g. operating sysytems (win xp) it doesnt ever recognize or discover the ipod through itunes. the pc will pop up the "cameras been plugged in, what would you like to do...?" but nothing thru itunes. now if i reboot & run the windows 7 operating system w/itunes that has backed my ipod before & synced a few times as well, but not the o.g. op system used from the beginning (the very initial set up done on the ipod) it works fine, but DOES give me the warning "updating to 5.0 willdelete some of your apps & media, including ... ....will only preserve contacts, calenders," ....etc.
MY HUGE CONCERN IS if i do hit update & go through w/it, & not having been able to sync it to the one normally used to sync my ipod, will that back up i made be able to restore my game seetings, GAME SAVES, & data achievement type information....?
please, i'm very hesitant to go through w/it, so if you can please help me out here & let me know asap.....i canimagine you're all busy busy, so i thank you for your time here w/this
thank you

Not that hard. One the computer you are using do the following:
- Transfer iTunes purchases.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music using a third-party program like one of those discussed here.
Copy music
- If you have synced photos you need a paid program like TouchCopy or PhoneView
- When all the media in on the computer, connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
That computer is now your syncing computer. Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps or music.
