Is it possible to see which devices have been synced to a mac without connecting the device to the mac

I would like to find my phone's serial number, and i cannot connect my iphone to my computer. Therefore, i would like to know if i can view my phone's serial number without connecting it.
(it has been stolen)

If you still have your receipt, the serial number could be on there. If you registered your iPhone, call Apple Customer relations. They should be able to help you.
You should also post in the iPhone forum area.

How can I see which pictures have been backed up

How can I see which pictures have been backed up

All the pictures in your camera roll will be backed up in iTunes or iCloud (depending on whether you have iCloud backup enabled on your iPhone) every time a backup is performed. The other photos stored on your iPhone (i.e. the ones you didn't shoot using the iPhone itself) will NOT be backed up.
Nevertheless, it can't hurt to import them into iPhoto or Aperture (or whatever you're using) as roaminggnome suggested.

Is it possible to see which photos have not been assigned to an album?

I have a lot of photos on my ipad. Most of them have been assigned to an appropriate album, but not all. I would like to see which photos have not been assigned yet so I can make sure nothing's missing from an album. Is there a way to do this?

How see which questions have been answered?

I currently have a quiz with ten random questions from a single pool of twenty.
Currently I have a custom offline LMS running on a local server which displays the InteractionID of all ten of the questions that have been answered as well as the answers - it then goes on to display them graphically on one single page, this can then be printed.
Due to reliability issues and necessary access rights with the local server I'd like to build this function into Captivate.
I'd like to create a single page at the end of the quiz that shows the InteractionID (or some similar unique tracer) of the ten questions which have been answered by the candidate. Coupled with whether they were answered correctly or not. This could then be printed out or saved as necessary.
Does anyone know how I would go about doing this? I realise that the randomisation feature certainly complicates things a bit. Currently my script hooks on at the end of the quiz when the 'send results as email' button is pressed. The information must be carried through Captivate somehow, I just need a way to call it up on that final page. Could I go about it using some variety of advanced action or some such?
Many thanks.

Hmmmm. That's a pain. I've checked the internal system variables also and found nothing. It's a real pain.
Do you know of any way of exporting non-system internal variables outside the programme? Currently I am exporting internal system variables outside of the programme using a capture hook on the 'send email' button. This then proceeds to export the selected system variables to a back-end database server.
It is a pretty messy way of doing things as you can imagine, but from there I can chop, change and sort the data as I, or more importantly my customer, sees fit. I am having a problem in that using this method the user needs to enter their name and other details twice. Once at the start of the programme [again, customer's requirement] and once at the insert stage. If I can't get the whole project done in captivate then i'll have to keep using this method, but I need to come up with a way that will mean the user only has to enter their data once.
Any ideas?
Cheers.

Does i cloud store contacts how do I get them out of cloud they have been deleted off my phone without connecting to computer

Can someone help me we have iPhones did the updates changed to the new version hubby got my contacts and vice versatile he has lost his contacts and I deleted them when I got his how can we get his contacts back. Hoping they are in I cloud somewhere

You delete them the same way you got them there, via the sync process. Connect the phone to the computer and iTunes, go to the Photo tab, remove the checkmark by the photos you want to remove and sync. They will be deleted from the phone. You cannot delete them directly from the phone.

How to see which photos have been added???

I have the new iMovie 10.0.1.
In the old version, when you added a photo to a movie from iphoto... it put a green check mark on the picture to know you added it.
The new version does not. Driving me a bit nutty because I can't always remember which photo I added.
I searched around and can't find an option to show this feature.
Thanks for any help.

The Published Collection doesn't really work for me either.
I guess my needs are very sepcific.
Basically what I do is adjust photos in Develop and then Export them as soon as I am done adjusting them. This way, if I export as I go, when I am done adjusting, all my files are done exporting.
If I wait until I have all the images adjusted and then "select all" and "export", then I have to wait until all the images are done exporting. If I am working on processing 1500 or more images, that can add a lot of wait time for the exporting.
I would have a similar issue with a Published Collection since I don't want to take the time to jump to Library, publish the collection and then jump back to Develop all the time.
Oh well, now I know why I don't end up switching to Lightroom. Every 6 months or so, I try Lightroom, and everytime, I quickly find a reason why I can't use it...

How do I delete my pics that have been synced to my iPad?

How do I delete my pics from my iPad that have been synced from my MacBook?

You are not getting the same screen as you used to sync them to your iPad ? e.g. if you select the iPad on the left-hand sidebar of your Mac's iTunes (option-command-S enables the sidebar) then on the right-hand side of the screen the last tab should be Photos :
If the tab isn't showing then is your iTunes screen wide enough for the tabs to fit ?
To delete all synced photos try selecting an empty folder on that tab and sync that.

Is it possible to see which TV episodes I have purchased within the iTunes store (not in the "purchased" section)?

I know I can go to the "purchased" section in iTunes, but I'd like to know if it's possible to see which I already have when looking at episodes to purchase. Hope that makes sense.

Thanks Rudegar.
I thought that if the movie had already been downloaded from the internet to my ipad then it would only be using my own home network to stream to the tv and it wouldnt be using up all my allowance just to watch on a big screen. If i had known this i would not have bought an appletv....... thanks.

I am trying to send an email to a group which I have created in my contacts. I would like to hide the list of email addresses but cannot see how to do this. Can anyone help please?

Thank you for your message.
I can see how you do that when using the 'normal' emailing system from my mailing box, but not when working from the contact application (the 'book' on the bottom icon bar with the @ on it)....

EA6900 - possible to see which DNS is being used?

Hi
On the Ea6900 is it possible to see which DNS server addresses are being used? I've left them as 0 so obviously my ISP's DNS are being used but i need to see what they are.
Cheers
Solved!
Go to Solution.

@psychopomp1 .. Under your Router Settings, click Troubleshooting .. click the Status tab. .. in there your will see Report, click that and it will give you all the information you are looking for as to the DNS entries being brought down from your ISP.

How do I re-download videos which have been uploaded onto iCloud and deleted from my device?

How do I re-download videos which have been uploaded onto iCloud and deleted from my device?

Hi yvrtoakl,
I'm sorry, I'm a bit unclear on what you mean by "uploaded onto iCloud". If you are referring to videos synced to iCloud using the new iCloud Photo Library feature, you may find the following article helpful:

On the other hand, if you are talking about video files that have been stored on iCloud using iCloud Drive, then this article may be of more use:

In Adobe Acrobat 9 which I have been using for a long time (Widows 7) says, You cannot use this prod

In Adobe Acrobat 9 (Wndows 7) which I have been using for a long time now it says I cannot use it withoutv repairing. It instructs me to uninstall & reinstall...

I have not run into this yet with my AA9 and Win7, but have been seeing posts about it. I would try a repair before I would do an uninstall and reinstall. You might also turn off javascript for a bit in case there has been some javascript that has caused problems (ok, making wild guesses). If you do decide to uninstall, be sure to deactivate first, uninstall, run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, and remove any left over parts of the Acrobat folder. Then proceed to the reinstall and updates.
There is a question about whether being able to use it is correct, or you are just getting some message that is a spam that somehow got into your system (again, a possible javascript issue). Besides turning off javascript, you could also try isolating the javascripts to moving them to a temporary directory and seeing if one is causing the problem.

I have a mid2009 MacBook Pro for which I have been using a USB WD HD for Time Machine. I'd like to get a wireless HD and start a new Time Machine backup for this Mac and retire the 5 year old WD drive. Can I start over?

I have a mid2009 MacBook Pro running Mavericks for which I have been using a USB WD HD for Time Machine. I'd like to get a wireless HD and start a new Time Machine backup for this Mac and retire the 5 year old WD drive. Can I start over?

no archive/ backup is perfect, HD clones can be set to make incremental additions, same as time machine however, though they are more time involved in doing so.
See the + and - of all data backup/ archives below and "spread it around".... or the "dont put your eggs all in one basket" philosophy.

Data Storage Platforms; their Drawbacks & Advantages
#1. Time Machine / Time Capsule
Drawbacks:
1. Time Machine is not bootable, if your internal drive fails, you cannot access files or boot from TM directly from the dead computer.
2. Time machine is controlled by complex software, and while you can delve into the TM backup database for specific file(s) extraction, this is not ideal or desirable.
3. Time machine can and does have the potential for many error codes in which data corruption can occur and your important backup files may not be saved correctly, at all, or even damaged. This extra link of failure in placing software between your data and its recovery is a point of risk and failure. A HD clone is not subject to these errors.
4. Time machine mirrors your internal HD, in which cases of data corruption, this corruption can immediately spread to the backup as the two are linked. TM is perpetually connected (or often) to your computer, and corruption spread to corruption, without isolation, which TM lacks (usually), migrating errors or corruption is either automatic or extremely easy to unwittingly do.
5. Time Machine does not keep endless copies of changed or deleted data, and you are often not notified when it deletes them; likewise you may accidently delete files off your computer and this accident is mirrored on TM.
6. Restoring from TM is quite time intensive.
7. TM is a backup and not a data archive, and therefore by definition a low-level security of vital/important data.
8. TM working premise is a “black box” backup of OS, APPS, settings, and vital data that nearly 100% of users never verify until an emergency hits or their computers internal SSD or HD that is corrupt or dead and this is an extremely bad working premise on vital data.
9. Given that data created and stored is growing exponentially, the fact that TM operates as a “store-it-all” backup nexus makes TM inherently incapable to easily backup massive amounts of data, nor is doing so a good idea.
10. TM working premise is a backup of a users system and active working data, and NOT massive amounts of static data, yet most users never take this into consideration, making TM a high-risk locus of data “bloat”.
11. In the case of Time Capsule, wifi data storage is a less than ideal premise given possible wireless data corruption.
12. TM like all HD-based data is subject to ferromagnetic and mechanical failure.
13. *Level-1 security of your vital data.
Advantages:
1. TM is very easy to use either in automatic mode or in 1-click backups.
2. TM is a perfect novice level simplex backup single-layer security save against internal HD failure or corruption.
3. TM can easily provide a seamless no-gap policy of active data that is often not easily capable in HD clones or HD archives (only if the user is lazy is making data saves).
#2. HD archives
Drawbacks:
1. Like all HD-based data is subject to ferromagnetic and mechanical failure.
2. Unless the user ritually copies working active data to HD external archives, then there is a time-gap of potential missing data; as such users must be proactive in archiving data that is being worked on or recently saved or created.
Advantages:
1. Fills the gap left in a week or 2-week-old HD clone, as an example.
2. Simplex no-software data storage that is isolated and autonomous from the computer (in most cases).
3. HD archives are the best idealized storage source for storing huge and multi-terabytes of data.
4. Best-idealized 1st platform redundancy for data protection.
5. *Perfect primary tier and level-2 security of your vital data.
#3. HD clones (see below for full advantages / drawbacks)
Drawbacks:
1. HD clones can be incrementally updated to hourly or daily, however this is time consuming and HD clones are, often, a week or more old, in which case data between today and the most fresh HD clone can and would be lost (however this gap is filled by use of HD archives listed above or by a TM backup).
2. Like all HD-based data is subject to ferromagnetic and mechanical failure.
Advantages:
1. HD clones are the best, quickest way to get back to 100% full operation in mere seconds.
2. Once a HD clone is created, the creation software (Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper) is no longer needed whatsoever, and unlike TM, which requires complex software for its operational transference of data, a HD clone is its own bootable entity.
3. HD clones are unconnected and isolated from recent corruption.
4. HD clones allow a “portable copy” of your computer that you can likewise connect to another same Mac and have all your APPS and data at hand, which is extremely useful.
5. Rather than, as many users do, thinking of a HD clone as a “complimentary backup” to the use of TM, a HD clone is superior to TM both in ease of returning to 100% quickly, and its autonomous nature; while each has its place, TM can and does fill the gap in, say, a 2 week old clone. As an analogy, the HD clone itself is the brick wall of protection, whereas TM can be thought of as the mortar, which will fill any cracks in data on a week, 2-week, or 1-month old HD clone.
6. Best-idealized 2nd platform redundancy for data protection, and 1st level for system restore of your computers internal HD. (Time machine being 2nd level for system restore of the computer’s internal HD).
7. *Level-2 security of your vital data.
HD cloning software options:
1. SuperDuper HD cloning software APP (free)
2. Carbon Copy Cloner APP (will copy the recovery partition as well)
3. Disk utility HD bootable clone.
#4. Online archives
Drawbacks:
1. Subject to server failure or due to non-payment of your hosting account, it can be suspended.
2. Subject, due to lack of security on your part, to being attacked and hacked/erased.
Advantages:
1. In case of house fire, etc. your data is safe.
2. In travels, and propagating files to friends and likewise, a mere link by email is all that is needed and no large media needs to be sent across the net.
3. Online archives are the perfect and best-idealized 3rd platform redundancy for data protection.
4. Supremely useful in data isolation from backups and local archives in being online and offsite for long-distance security in isolation.
5. *Level-1.5 security of your vital data.
#5. DVD professional archival media
Drawbacks:
1. DVD single-layer disks are limited to 4.7Gigabytes of data.
2. DVD media are, given rough handling, prone to scratches and light-degradation if not stored correctly.
Advantages:
1. Archival DVD professional blank media is rated for in excess of 100+ years.
2. DVD is not subject to mechanical breakdown.
3. DVD archival media is not subject to ferromagnetic degradation.
4. DVD archival media correctly sleeved and stored is currently a supreme storage method of archiving vital data.
5. DVD media is once written and therefore free of data corruption if the write is correct.
6. DVD media is the perfect ideal for “freezing” and isolating old copies of data for reference in case newer generations of data become corrupted and an older copy is needed to revert to.
7. Best-idealized 4th platform redundancy for data protection.
8. *Level-3 (highest) security of your vital data.
[*Level-4 data security under development as once-written metallic plates and synthetic sapphire and likewise ultra-long-term data storage]
#6. Cloud based storage
Drawbacks:
1. Cloud storage can only be quasi-possessed.
2. No genuine true security and privacy of data.
3. Should never be considered for vital data storage or especially long-term.
4. *Level-0 security of your vital data.
Advantages:
1. Quick, easy and cheap storage location for simplex files for transfer to keep on hand and yet off the computer.
2. Easy source for small-file data sharing.

Be grateful for your help with Photoshop Elements which I have been using for several years.

Be grateful for your help with Photoshop Elements which I have been using for several years. Does Elements need to have access to ‘My Pictures’ on Windows as when I remove Photos from ‘My Pictures’, Elements later, when backing up, gives a message that it is unable to ‘reconnect’ to the same picture on elements. On other occasions when removing a photo from Elements catalogue I also get a similar message when backing up saying ‘unable to reconnect’. 1. Is there a relationship between Elements and My Pictures and is Elements dependant on the Windows ‘My Pictures’? 2. Why does some photos in Elements in some cases cause them to multiply e.g. double; triple; quadruple; and on occasions even more? Is there something I need to do to stop this or an easy way I can remove the multiples without spending hours doing it manually one by one? Am I doing something wrong? My O/S is Windows XP SP2 and windows Vista on my Laptop. I have been using Elements 5 and have just purchased Photoshop Elements 8.0. (Upgrade) and about to install it. Be grateful for any advice as I do enjoy using the program if only I can resolve this issue. I am not a PC wiz and mainly use Elements to catalogue photos from which I compile collections and from them slide shows with music. Any advice appreciated Sonny.t PS Have tried to post this previously but without success so hoping to see message appear and a +response

The organizer doesn't care where you send your photos when you download them via the downloader or where they happen to be when you first bring them in if you use the Get Photos command, but once your pics are in the Organizer, you *must* move them from within organizer or it can't find them. You don't have to use My Pictures at all if you don't want to, but regardless of the folder where you put your photos, if you want them someplace else, you use organizer to do it.
