Is there a way to only sync my photos?
Hi.
I just got a new iPhone 5c, which was an upgrade from my 4s. I backed up my 4s to my computer, instead of iCloud. I'm about to plus my 5c into the computer and I was wondering if there is a way to choose what I was to restore to my phone? For an example, when I plug my phone in, it will ask me if I want to restore my backup to this phone. I don't want messages to load back onto it, I just want the pictures, and I already uploaded all the apps myself. Is there a way to only do pictures? When it gets to the menu if I want to reload this phone or start fresh what would I click on? Thanks.
No.
Transferring a backup is all or none.
You can import the photos/videos from the 4S camera roll with your computer as with any other digital camera which you should have already been doing.

You can transfer select photos/videos from your computer to the new iPhone via the iTunes sync process - selected under the Photos tab for your new iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync.

Is there a way I can sync my photos from my iPhone 5s onto my 2007-08 Black Macbook whether it be via iCloud or Photo Stream?
Mac OS X 10.7.3 supports iCloud:

Is there any way to selectively sync some photos to iPad
Is there any way to selectively sync some photos to iPad & iPhone using Photo?
Connect your iPad to iTunes via cable (or correctly set WiFi sync options), select your device, select the Photos tab, then choose what you want to sync.

I'm wondering if there is anyway to change your backup settings through iCloud to only sync the camera roll as opposed to all of the other folders as well. Considering your new pictures automatically save in your camera roll, it would make sense to be able to just save the new pictures one would think. I'm pretty sure it's not possible, but I was hoping that I may be overlooking something. Thanks in advance
Photo stream only adds new photos by design. It also only adds photos from the camera roll, not any albums (folders)*. Photos added to the camera roll are automatically added to photo stream, once enabled. The remain in photo stream for 30 days. After 30 days they are deleted from photo stream, but will remain in your My Photo Stream folder until deleted.
*Any album that includes photos from your camera roll only contains links to the photos in the camera roll, not duplicate photos. Photo stream doesn't add these "photos" because the actual photos they link to are in the camera roll. -
i have to restore my phone from back up but in order to do it i had to update my software. now that my software is updated there isnt enough room on the phone to back up. is there a way to only restore certain things from the backup like contacts?
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.

One method you can use, along with optimizing your website for increased loading efficiency in browsers, is to publsh to a folder on your hard drive and use Web Site Maestro to optimize and upload only the new or modified files with its Smart Handling feature.
If you publish to a folder you can use the synchronizing feature of Cyberduck, help/en/howto/sync – Cyberduck, to upload only those new or changed files.

The DB version is 11.1.0.7.
The "CATALOG START WITH" not only catalog backup set that are not in the RMAN catalog, but also catalog a second copy for files that are already in the catalog.
Files are not a second copy; they are the same file in the same directory.
Having two copies in the catalog, through an error when deleting explicitly the backups.
We have to add the force clause to avoid the error.
RMAN> delete FORCE backup tag 'offsite-1';
The force clause ignores any I/O error.
The delete is part of our scheduled offsite backup script, which returns a false positive error when the force clause is ommited.
I don't want the force clause, in order to be notify if the backup set that are expected to be on disk are no more there, e.g., if someone had deleted files manually at the OS level bypassing rman.
Is there a way to only catalog backup set not in the catalog?
or May be remove the copy #2 entry from the catalog?
Find bellow a test case example:
RMAN> list backup summary TAG 'OFFSITE-1';

Just repeate your demo and answer Yes.
Even if he might have replied with "YES" then also, the RMAN search for the files which it can recognize as a valid rman backup file. Else it would show the list of files which are not recognized by RMAN as a valid file.

About the RMAN catalog, it will not catalog the same file twice. It will only catalog the files which are not known to the database.
See this demo. (/backup/RMAN/STAGING/ is the location where all the backup pieces are.)

on syncing photos to my iphone from my mac (snow leopard) (iphoto), just 2 or 3 per event retain the edited verisons, the rest are shown in the original version. I'm confused by this. Is this a bug? Is there a way to see all the photos on the mac-edited version on iphn?
Thanks for your reply
I solved my problem,
Definitely a bug in syncing through itunes.
- Connect Iphone with MacBook Pro through USB
- Go to iphone on itunes, photos, deselect photo synchronization.
- Sync (all pics will be removed from iphone)
- Close itunes, iphoto, disconnect iphone
- Select in finder: (home)-pictures-iphoto library.
- Sec click on iphoto library and choose "show package contents"
- Delete iPod Photo Cache
- Close finder
- Empty trash
- Reconnect iphone
- Allow photo synchronization again and everything works smooth.
After this, changes made in iphoto are instantaneously reflected in iphone photos.
Once every hundred photos, one gets detached from iphoto and then changes are no longer reflected (buggy) :-(
In this case I erase the photo in iphoto, sync, go back to iphoto trash, reestablish the photo from the trash and sync again.
Hope this improves. Still have to try cloud though.
Thanks

Using Firefox 3.6.12 with Firfox Sync 1.5.1. When I open Firefox I have to go to Sync settings and put in all my Sync account information. One the information is in place everything sync's up fine and I am alright until I close Firefox. Once I open Firefox again I have to input all of my Sync account settings again. Is there a way to get Sync to remember all of my settings so that it connects and syncs every time I start Firefox?
@the-edmeister
Thanks for the advice. In my case, it is sufficient to '''uncheck''' " Saved passwords".
('''''Preferences -> Privacy -> Clear History when Firefox closes -> Settings -> Saved Passwords''''').
Great to have Sync. :) -

HT1351 is there a way I can sync music to my iPod without using a USB cable?
Recently, my USB cable for my 4th Gen iPod completely broke. I have a new charger, but it's a socket charger. I want to sync some albums from my iTunes library on my laptop, but I don't have a cable to connect to my laptop. Is there any way I could sync the music from my library without a cable?
All help is appreciated!If you read the original post like a good boy, you would see this girl doesn't have a USB cord. The link you sent requires a USB cord. Therefore YOUR reply is actually incorrect.
Set up syncing
Open iTunes. Make sure that you have the latest version.
Connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable.
Locate your iOS device.
If you're in the iTunes Store, click the Library button, then look for your device in the upper-right corner.
In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi."
She is looking for a way WITHOUT a USB cord. So actually, taking that into consideration, I'M right. At some point in no matter what you do, you need a USB cable AT SOME POINT.
Thanks. -
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.

I have recently started using an old Nano and purchased some new songs. When I go to sync it wants to erase other songs to download new. Is there a way to just sync new songs to ipod without erasing existing music on devise?
Syncing shouldn't trouch you photos unless you have photos in a Photo Library album. These would be photos that were synced to your phone from your computer. If you do have any, you'll need to use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your computer prior to syncing.
If you prefer to backup your camera roll photos prior to syncing, open iTunes and go to Preferences>Devices and check "Prevent...from syncing automatically". Then connect your phone to your computer and import them as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
Then, to minimize data loss, follow the steps in this user tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141. To follow the steps, first open iTunes and go to View>Show Sidebar. Also, Transfer Purchases is now located in File>Devices.
