Is there a technical reason why I can't sync both my iCloud and Yahoo/Gmail contacts at once?

Is there a technical reason why I can't sync both my iCloud and Yahoo/Gmail contacts at once? I would like to be able to sync between all three services.

Definetely not. It's as simple as maintaining a single database and use it for iCloud, Google, Yahoo or any other... like it was earlier. It's just Apple being barbaric in their strategy to restrict use of competing devices and services.

Can I sync both my Ipod and my shuffle on my itunes?

Recently I was given a shuffle as a present to use when I exercise. I already own a regular Ipod and sync this through my itunes. Does anyone know of any problems if I sync both?

You can sync both, but my advice is to only have one of them plugged in at a time.
It's also Apple's advice, kind of:

HT201335 Is there a technical reason why the first gen iPad will not mirror?

I have a first gen iPad running 5.1.1
I had 5.1 and that did not work either.
A new 2012 apple tv and no go on the mirroring. My iPhone 4a mirrors. Why can't the first gen iPad

I never thought of my iPad as slow
I couldn't tell you off the top of my head.
Yes iPad 1 still seems good for me too, but the 3rd gen is noticeably smoother in use.
Absolute specs are really irrelevant - Apple have not allowed the iPad 1 to mirror and that's that - pretty much like older Macs pre 2011 not being able to do so due to lack of a CPU feature.

How can I sync both Music files and Podcasts to my Ipod shuffle 4th gen?

I have been trying to do this for a very long time. I own an Ipod shuffle 4th generation and I want to be able to listen to music, podcasts, etc without having to switch between the different formats using Itunes. Everytime I try to sync music and podcasts to my Ipod, it will only play one of the two types but not both. I have plenty of space on my Ipod but it just won't sync music and podcasts together. I have tried using Smart playlists but whenever I try to add the different types of media, it shows nothing in the playlist. Any help with this would be appreciated.

If you are using automatic syncing, you need to set up syncing on the shuffle's Music tab and Podcasts tab in iTunes...
Select your shuffle in iTunes. There is a bar of "tabs" (starting with Summary).
Click on Music there. This Music tab is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the shuffle. Sync Music is checkmarked, if you use automatic syncing. Your entire iTunes Music library (plus podcasts) probably will not fit, so you can select to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Below that, make a selection of songs to sync by checkmarking playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres. For example, if you want to keep it simple, create a new playlist in iTunes and put ALL songs you want on the shuffle on that playlist. Back on the Music tab, find and checkmark only that one playlist under Playlists as your selection of songs.
Click on the Podcasts tab next. This is where you tell iTunes how to sync podcasts to the shuffle. Sync Podcasts is checkmarked. Make you selection of podcast episodes below.
When you click Apply, your selection of songs and podcasts sync to the shuffle. Going forward, all changes to your iTunes library that relate to your selection on the two tabs sync automatically when you connect the shuffle, or when you click Sync.
When you use the shuffle, podcasts do not play from the default All Songs list. To play podcast episodes, you use the VoiceOver feature to select the podcast from the playlist menu.
This document has information about setting up and using VoiceOver on a shuffle
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4322
You can also play podcast episodes from a playlist. If you put podcast episodes on a playlist, that playlist needs to be checkmarked on the Podcasts tab, where is says Include Episodes from Playlists. You can then use VoiceOver to select that playlist from the playlist menu. To play podcast episodes from a playlist, the shuffle's power switch must be in the play-in-order (middle) position. The podcast episodes will then play in playlist order (as you organized them in iTunes before syncing).

Good technical reason why data storage is limited to SAN in UC-UCS?

Hi all,
I would like to know why in all UC documents, when talking about virtualization, we are explicitly limited to SAN? What is wrong with NAS? I'm looking for good technical reason (i.e. can guess couple sales/presales reasons)....
Thanks,
Tenaro

Not sure this is a “good” reason but it is “a” reason and one I know was cited as a concern early on.
SAN allows the server to treat it like a remote disk (i.e. you can access files by blocks and offsets as you would on a hard drive) – the NAS is a file server and typically will have its own file management “head” that takes care of this (i.e. you access files by name to the NAS and it will fetch/write the file for you) – the means you can have a much wider variety of applications/servers using a NAS without knowing or caring – SAN is going to require more work. But on the up side doing things like streaming data to/from the storage facility (i.e. recording/playing back a voice message) gives the application server using SAN much more control over how that is done. Think about control over pre-fetching chunks of a wav file for playback and controlling streaming logic on a long write – the NAS hides all this from the application, you have no control.
A real-world example: I use a NAS at home (2 TB RAID… yes, I need that much space. Really). I can stream 6 or 7 HD TV shows off the NAS to computers/TVs around the house no sweat. However recording HD TO the NAS directly is a disaster – massive file fragmentation even after I fiddled endlessly with various settings and it can’t manage more than 2 at a time without dropping frames. I ended up having to record all streams locally and then copy them over to the NAS as whole files to keep things sane and tidy. If I were using a SAN and had a media capture setup sophisticated enough to use it properly this wouldn’t be a problem.
Understood NAS and SAN are starting to blur as time moves ahead but this is certainly a viable issue to take into consideration.

When i open my computer this appears "c:\Programdata\AppleVerifierPolicy.dll the specific module caould not be found" i think this may be the reason why i can not open itunes store

With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
Restart the programme all should be well
In case that your OS is (64 bit)
1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
3. Now paste it in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
4. Restart the programme, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
Good Luck

Is there a specific reason why apple did not incorporate hdmi into the thunderbolt displays ?

Is there a specific reason why apple did not incorporate hdmi into the thunderbolt displays and the new imacs? Everything on the market uses hdmi...they then add one to the new macbook pros, but none on the displays. Is there a reason?

These are User to User support Forums where we all help each other. No one from Apple replies here. Obviously we have no way of knowing why Apple does or doesn't choose to do something.

Why Siri can't make a call to all of my contacts?

Why Siri can't make a call to all of my contacts? Whereas, all of my connection is already "On and Connected To The Internet". But Siri always said : Sorry Rendi, I can't call Rendi Saputra's home number (example). There is something wrong about my phone?

     Alright so I am doing this off of my guess that you did not do anything to mod your iphone or siri with a 3rd party application, If so then that might be the cause.
     Anyways, are your contacts correct, is the phone number correct? Just double check. Secondly turn off everything that haas to do with location and connection to internet, turn off the following: wifi, anything with to do with your carriers service like 3g etc. Also try and turn off siri, you can do this by going into settings>general>siri>off. Now reboot your iphone, dont just slide to power down, but completely turn it off by holding the home button and the sleep/wake button until your iphone turns off. Then turn it back on. You may now turn on siri and whatever else you desire. Now that you have turned siri back on again, try it one more time.
     Keep in mind Siri is in beta, and there will be some kinks and bugs to it, and is not gauranteed to work 100% of the time, like diesel vdub had said. Also it may just be a bug with siri, and maybe you should report it to apple. I will try and look up some more information for you too if i can.
     But, if it is one of those thigns that you need to fix, and you are willing to do so, try and restore you iphone completely. This might help but nothign is for sure, but dont restore if you have valuable data that is not somewhere else like on your computer, or synced with icloud, before doing a restore. If you do chose to do a restore, make sure you do a backup first!! then just restore it completely.
     Keep in mind that i am not 100% sure that what i have said will work, and i might be wrong. But i hope i helped. Im not saying that i dont have a clue as to what im talking about, but rather that i cant be sure until it happens.

I recently changed my iCloud account because someone stole my last phone and changed all my passwords for both my iCloud and emails account. So when I changed my account I accedently erased all my contacts is there anything I can do? (It wasn't backup)

I'd say your best bet is to try to regain access to your old account. Call 1-800-MY-APPLE, and ask to talk to the account security team. Hopefully they can verify you are the account owner, and then reset the password for you.

I have about 1000 contacts on my iPhone 4 after syncing with iCloud there are only about 120 contacts on iCloud How can I have the same info on both the iCloud and my iPhone

Hi
I have about 1000 contacts on my iPhone 4 after syncing with iCloud there are only about 120 contacts on iCloud How can I have the same info on both the iCloud and my iPhone

On the iPhone tap Settings > iCloud
Switch Contacts off then back on then reset the device.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

How can I have both genius playlist and regular playlist on my new 160g ipod classic. The list of songs are there, but when I click playlist, I only get the genius playlists.

How can I have both genius playlists and regular playlists available on my new 160g classic ipod. I can see my entire song list, but no playlist other than the 3 genius playlist I just made. Also how can I delete a genius playlist. Made the same playlist twice by mistake. Thanks.

This was not a simple task. Got it handled. Had to call Apple support. Apparently, the 160g only syncs the genius playlist. You have to go in and "tell it" to sync the entire playlist as well as the genius playlists. There is also an option for only syscing certain songs. On itunes, there is two sections; one for the stuff that is synced on your ipod and another separate list for the stuff in your library! This is exciting for me as I am not computer savvy to say the least.

Is there a technical reason why I can't sync both my iCloud and Yahoo/Gmail contacts at once?
