Because it says it's incompatible when it can't be, I got hope. I get error messages all the time with my iPod and iPhone that it cannot sync and that 'this device is not capapble of connecting to iTunes' stuff. I literally forget that happened, plug it in again and it works, I later realize that iTunes made a mistake, they do that.

  • HT4927 Are there ways to only upload certain photos from my iphoto backup? It is really big and I don't want all the photos on my new computer.

    Are there ways to only upload certain photos from my iphoto backup? It is really big and I don't want all the photos on my new computer.

    There is a way to find and recover individual photos from a Time Machine backup. 
    1 - dowload and launch  Find Any File.
    2 - select the Time Machine hard drive in FAF's Find Items menu.
    3 - enter the full file name of the photo you want to recover into FAF and use the Find button.
    NOTE: it will take a while for FAF to retrieve and display the results of the search due to the nature of how TM makes its backups. 30 seconds or so is normal.
    4 - select the file in the Masters folder and use the Space bar to verify it's the one you want with Quickview.
    5 - drag the file from the FAF window to your Desktop.
    6 - repeat for each photo you need to restore.

  • TM failing saying there isnt enough space when there is TB's free after upg

    We have a bunch of 2tb drives linked together via fw800 (OSX Software raid) which is maxing out a 9.1TB in total.
    Time Machine correctly states that 5.3tb will be required to backup. However it wont backup claiming that there isnt enough room on the 9.1tb disk which is dedicated to Time Machine.
    Take off one of the 2tb disks reducing the array to 7.3tb and it works fine.
    Any ideas ?

    Yeah we are using the Disk Utility ("Concatenated RAID set") Raid 0. We have been previously backing up without any problems, after adding an extra 2tb drive to the raid set it complains that there isnt enough space to perform the backup.
    Take the new drive away and its fine again. It is reporting the right size for the backup set and the right size for the raid set 9.1tb when the new drive is added.
    Thanks for the help.

  • I have a i phone 5 that we are getting a message not enough storage this Iphone cannot be backed up beacause there is not enough Icloud storage available.  But we cannot go to settings or close out the message . i cannot power off the phone or anthing

    i have a i phone 5 that we are getting a message not enough storage this Iphone cannot be backed up beacause there is not enough Icloud storage available.  But we cannot go to settings or close out the message . i cannot power off the phone or anthing. How do i clear this off the phone.

    First, press and hold the home and power buttons until the Apple icon appears.
    The problem could be that you don't have enough storage on the device itself, not on iCloud.  Go to Settings>General>Usage to see how much "Storage" you have available on the device.  Farther down the list is the available storage on iCloud.
    Also check:
    Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage; there, tap the device you need info on and the resulting screen lists Backup Options with which apps store data on iCloud as well.  Tap Show All Apps to get the complete list of apps and MB used for backup storage.
    A device needs many MB of storage in order to perform a backup to iCloud.

    You did import these important photos over to an alternative storage medium, just like you would with any digital camera, right?

    You use Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) for that job - or upgrade to a later iPhoto.

  • Is there a way to ONLY restore your mail toolbar settings from a previous version?

    Is there a way to ONLY restore your mail toolbar settings from a previous version? I did a clean install and I love it except  I lost my mac mail toolbar setup and my muscle memory is all out of whack now. Is there a way to mine the old preference files I have on backup for this data?
    Thanks!

    Awesome thanks! I just replaced the new preference file with this one from my old Time Machine backup and everything is back to how it was before.

    I don't know if you have been there, but a very suspicious icon!  (Like this one on a NSA satellite: http://b-i.forbesimg.com/kashmirhill/files/2013/12/Satellite-logo-for-spying.jpg)  Yikes!

    What do you think of all this?
    How did you find it in the OS?
    Do I just trash it with "Secure Empty"?

  • Is there a way to password protect certain apps from being used? Example I don't want my child to access my apps while he's using his on the iPad

    Is there a way to password protect certain apps from being used? Example I don't want my child to access my apps while he's using his on the iPad. I don't want to lock him out of the iPad. Let him use Angry birds, but not Sims or Games not appropriate for him that I play.

    Sorry, but it is not possible to restrict use of specific apps other that the few restrictions provided in the Restrictions settings, not unless the app itself provides some sort of lock. If you don't want your child playing certain games, the only answer is to not load them on the iPad he uses.

    Well... if you really want help, you could start by providing some details of what happens when you try to update.

  • When previewing images by clicking on the thumbnail in an Event for example, I've been finding that many images preview in a 'zoomed in' way so only a small part of the photos is previewed in a highly magnified view.

    When previewing images by clicking on the thumbnail in an Event for example, I've been finding that many images preview in a 'zoomed in' way so only a small part of the photos is previewed in a highly magnified view.
    Initially I could find no cause. Then I tried right click - Edit and on the affected images, always get this warning:
    "Image Cannot Be Edited - This photo was previously edited with another application or with an early version of Iphoto. Duplicate this photo to edit it." and a "Duplicate To Edit" Button is displayed. 
    The external Editor defined for iPhoto is Adobe Photoshop Elements.
    Now, I reckon the MUST be others out there affected by this same apparent Preview bug, yet my searches have not revealed any answers.  Also seems impossible to find a contact number for adobe???
    Thanks

    Is LR CC available in the CC subscription (full, not photography)?  I seem to only see LR 5 in the CC app.
    Do I have to add or switch to the Photography CC to get LR CC?

    Just tried again ... and magically, it's there.

  • HT2729 Why is there not enough room in my itunes library

    Why do I get a message that there is not enough room in my iturnes library when syncing?

    Why is this so difficult to figure out?
    The message is quite clear.  The size of the iTunes library is larger than the space available on the device.
    Stop attempting to sync the entire library to the device.
    Select the desired content to sync to the device.
    Sync.

  • I accidentally added the app store apple id wrong, then I was able to put the right one but now that I need to update the application tells me to insert the id of the psw wrong, how do I change it?

    I accidentally added the app store apple id wrong, then I was able to put the right one but now that I need to update the application tells me to insert the id of the psw wrong, how do I change it?

    You must update the apps with the Apple ID that they are purchased with.
    The only way to get round this is to re-purchase the app with the new Apple ID.
