I still can't figure out how to manage & sync my medias.

Hi everyone
I have to admit, I've owned an Iphone for 2 years now and I still can't figure out how to manage my pictures. I'm confused, I don't know how to get them out, import them...I have 3 albums in my phone taking a huge amount of space with duplicates in : camera roll, photo library , last importation ...!
same goes for Adress book.
Can anybody help and explain to me how that works ? Explain it to me as if I'm a 4 year old !
Here are some specific questions :
where are the pictures saved on the macbook ?
how to manage and delete them in batch ?
how to keep one folder in the phone ?
How does this Syncing business work?
Thanks for your help

  • Still can't figure out how to share apps with two different itunes accounts, two different apple ids (homesharing for music works fine) this is between my wifes iphone 4s and my ipad 3 4g anyone help ?

    My wife has an iphone 4s. I have an ipad 3 4g. Homesharing between the pc, the ipad and the iphone is fine, but only for music. Many forums say that apps can be shared between devices but HOW ???? I can't find a solution anywhere. My wife and I have separate apple ids, separate icloud accounts and separate itunes details....
    Anyone help ?

    Select the name of the shared library in the source pane of your itunes, and click on the wee disclosure triangle to the left of the name of the library. Does "Apps" appear beneath the name of the library?
    Here's a screenshot of what I mean. (Unfortunately, it's not showing "Apps" because there aren't any in that library. But fingers crossed it should give you an idea of what you're looking for.)

  • My iPhone is still displaying my old Apple ID and I can't figure out how to change it to my new one?

    I have an iPhone 4s and it keeps asking me to sign in using my old Apple ID and I have a new(ish) Apple ID that I've been using for several months, since before I even got the iPhone, but it's still not using my new ID. The new ID is on my iTunes and iPod, but isn't on the iPhone. I can't figure out how to edit or change my Apple ID in the settings. Help me?

    Hi,
    I have the same exact problem, and I see no one has posted a correct answer for you.  Alexbird's reply didn't help.  Can someone give us the correct answer?
    My old email address is on my new iPhone 4s, and I can't change it.  In the store on the iPhone 4s it correctly has my new email address.  iTunes also correctly has the new email address.
    I can't update my apps because the old email address is stuck in there, and no password is being accepted.
    (By the way, as much as I attempted to read all of the warnings online about how to back-up and transfer data from my iPhone 3gs to my iPhone 4s, sure enough apps were lost.  I wish instructions on 'Fingertips' had been clearer)
    Thanks!

  • My email recently changed and so I updated my Apple ID to reflect my new email, but my Icloud account still shows the old email as the username on both my Iphone and Ipad and for the life of me I can't figure out how to change or delete it.

    My email recently changed and so I updated my Apple ID to reflect my new email, but my Icloud account still shows the old email as the username on both my Iphone and Ipad and for the life of me I can't figure out how to change or delete it.  My password doesn't work with the old email address.  When I look for my old email address in the Apple ID support area it says that the ID doesn't exist.  Help!!!

    You have to go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated credentials.  This deletes the account and your synced data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing to a different account, your data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.

  • I updated my Apple ID but my I Cloud account still has my old ID and I can not figure out how to update it

    I updated my Apple ID but my I Cloud account still has my old ID and I can not figure out how to update it

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.

  • Itunes launches itself and starts playing even when my laptop is closed, but I can still hear it. I can't figure out how to keep it from doing it

    itunes launches itself and starts playing even when my laptop is closed, but I can still hear it. I can't figure out how to keep it from doing that.

    See if a device is attached and "open iTunes when iPod is connected" is selected. https://discussions.apple.com/message/16483979#16483979
    Check for other iTunes preference settings that might cause this.

    Living in Japan and I'm an American who just signed up with Soft Bank the phone service here and spent a TON of money on an iPhone. I can't figure out how to connect my bank account at home to my app account so I can Skype my family. Please help!!!! I don't have a credit card nor do they gove debit cards to foreigners here, or at least it's really hard so I'm using my bank at home and still have a debit there. My phone number is 8 numbers plus the country code which is strange! Another thing is I was given a phone email that I was told to use for texting but I'm not sure how that works!! It's so frustrating too because no one speaks English here and I'm not very tech savvy. God bless you if you can help :)

    whichever app store you are connecting to, hyou need a credit card with an address in that country. Also, itunes gift cards must be in local currency too.
    If you are in japan, you need to use the japan app store

  • Can't figure out how to change the bottom margins

    This is my 3rd day with a mac and I can't figure out how to change the margins in Pages '09 so that it doesn't include a .5 margin on the bottom.
    I'm using a HP OfficeJet J6450. In the page setup, I changed the "untitled" user defined margins to .1 for top and sides and 0 for the bottom and it still includes a .5 margin on the bottom. Changing the untitled seems to help side margins.
    I've used the inspector to see if there is a setting there that defines the bottom margin as .5 and that doesn't seem to do it.
    If I print borderless, the text boxes that I have a .3 border around don't print on the edges even though they show up on my workspace. It also throws off the top and bottom.
    This is a big assumption, but I assumed that if the workspace and rules show white space and now grayed out, it would print that way. It's not.
    Any ideas? Thanks! Ana
    P.S. I've downloaded & installed updates for everything - OS, iWorks, Printer

    Peggy,
    Maybe this is true of Macs? On my windows systems - I can specify more options on both my printers and can print beyond .5 inches at the bottom. One specific option on my J6450 that I can select is "minimize borders" and it will print about .1 or .2 from the edge. On my mac, I do not have that feature to select. If I print borderless, even though my layout shows it should not go off the paper, once printed it does.
    Thanks.

  • Can't figure out how to rename css style in mx

    Hello,
    I can't figure out how to rename css style in mx. I have the
    style selected in the proprety inspector. Is there supposed to be a
    rename option at the bottom of the same dropdown box? There is
    option to edit style and a few others in same dropdown box... but
    no rename option. Please be specific... I have looked it up on the
    internet... but still cant find the option.
    Thanks,
    PoJ

    Do a Find and Replace to find name1 and replace with name2.

  • Can't Figure Out How to do This

    There's something I've been doing on my Treo 650 that I can't seem to figure out any way to do on my new iPhone 3G. Sorry for the somewhat "long story" here, but
    My wife is Chinese, so as we live our lives together, I have been keeping a continuously running "memo" on my Treo, into which I have periodically typed English words and phrases that would be valuable to learn Chinese equivalents for. So, whenever such a word comes up in life, I pop out that memo on my Treo, add a word to it, and put it away.
    Of course I have kept that, and everything else, sync'ed up with my Mac, so I can see those new words and phrases there too.
    To actually learn these new words and phrases, once every few months, I copy those new words into a spreadsheet, figure up translations for them, and study the result as new Chinese-language lessons.
    So, on the iPhone, it appears that I can do almost all of this using "Notes." But there are two things I can't figure out how to do:
    1. Back up (i.e., sync) that memo to my Mac routinely. Yes, I do see that I can Email it to myself periodically, but that's not quite the same as having a document on the iPhone "automatically" backed up on the Mac.
    2. I don't see any way to bring what I already have on my Treo into a "Note" on the iPhone. If I could copy and paste, I could Email that text to myself and then copy&paste it from that Email into the Note, but there's no copy&paste on the iPhone. I do see that there are "Notes" in the Email application, but those are not editable on the iPhone. They are visible on the iPhone, but can't be edited there. Even if they were editable, they still clutter up my inbox, but perhaps I could devise a "smart mailbox" to address that.
    In the first regard, Emailing is marginally acceptable, but I don't have any idea what to do about the second.
    Thanks for any ideas you might have!

    I'm another one of the very grumpy customers regarding the problems synching Outlook calendars with the new 2.0 iPhone.
    I have another twist: I did not ever have multiple calendars in Outlook until the 2.0 update; I had just one. After I updated the iPhone software to 2.0 I have multiple calendars which I did not create. My iPhone has all the events listed, color coded by these various calendars, but when I look at my calendar(s) in Outlook, I can not see all the events at once. So my iPhone is the most complete, and my computer version is fragmented. This is an unacceptable royal pain. I'm relieved to know it's not just me, my iPhone, my Outlook, etc., but I'm definitely one of the many of us who are grumpy with Apple and impatient for their fix.
    My question is: how do I sync my Outlook to my iPhone and delete all these calendars without deleting events? I just want one calendar again: mine, all mine.
    PS I do have recurring events, but way too many to hand change them all; that's ridiculous. Even if I didn't have many of those it's ridiculous that the recurrences should create these problems. It's a pretty basic electronic calendar function.

    This is usually a sign that your iPod's headphones are not plugged in all the way.  Make sure that you cannot see any of the silver still showing from the headphone's plug.  You should hear a sort of popping/clicking noise when inserting the headphones letting you know that they have been fully seated.

    You could go hunting for a fair price on a refurbished or restored Intel-based Mac or MacBook, as most early models of CoreDuo and Core2Duo can run Snow Leopard 10.6.8, and some much more recent.
    The Apple Store's Special Deals section that is online has some fairly recent examples of hardware with an OS, original accessories as noted, power cord, and complementary one year coverage. Eligibility for extended AppleCare plans are noted & may be available for various items in the store. Subject to availability. Refurbished. Like new. The price difference can be about the same as the additional two year AppleCare plan may cost, so get that too.
    Third party repaired restored or available through other channels vary in quality, quantity, condition, and may be lacking in some or most original accessories; they should include basic hardware as originally equipped and have the boot-install software disc set as intended for that build model & year specification, included.
    Auction sites rarely have that much of a kit together, w/ missing discs, scruffy, extra fees, etc. On the other hand, companies that restore and repair Macs for a living and are authorized Apple service centers may have something, if you aren't in the market for something holiday new or really quick. Older models if reasonably refurbished can still shine years later.
    Hopefully this helps somewhat.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • I recently updated by iphone 4s but can't figure out how to put icons on the desktop as short cuts to my games.

    I recently updated my iphone 4s but can't figure out how to put my game icons on the front page to use as shortcuts to my games. Anyone know?

    Dear Friend ,
    Can you please be more clear by mentioning what do you mean by shortcuts to the games ?
    Still Here is what it takes you to get what you want .
    Firstly , your iPhone by default comes with preset of 16-18 Apps in your Homescreen (including Dock)
    Make sure your apps are installed either directly from the app store in your phone or through iTunes in your Mac or PC
    once they are installed you can notice them by swiping the homescreens.
    Long press the app icon , you can notice they all would be in "jiggle" mode
    Drag them and place them in your home screen
