Is there a way to prevent iTunes from deleting TV shows and leaving them in the cloud.

I understand the benefits of the cloud. I'm fully on board. I however have to travel often for work and I am often far away from the luxury of wifi. I understand why it does what it does (removing tv shows and movies I haven't seen a while). Is there a way to turn it off though?
Thank you so much!

Unless there is a new feature I'm not aware of iTunes does not arbitrarily delete any content from your computer without your explicit action.

When you connect the device open iTunes and select it from the sidebar. Click on the Summary tab in the main window. Uncheck the option to automatically connect to iTunes. You will find it in the collection of options near the lower part of the window.

Is there a way to import images that have been edited and assign them to the original?

I am transitioning to mac and aperture. Is there a way to import images that have been edited and assign them to the original? I have 10,000 originals and about 2,000 edited images. The originals are named img_XXXX and anything modified img_XXXX_modified. I would like to be able to import the originals and then import the edited versions and assign them to the original masters. Instead of starting from here and going forward with 12,000 masters, some of which are actual originals and others not. Thanks for the help.

Ah, the vestiges of a destructive workflow! Once you "get" Aperture, (specifically Masters and Versions) you are going to love it, as all of this work goes away - the relationship that you seek to retain is automatic in Aperture; it is simply done differently.
The short answer to your question is EVERY image file that is Imported into Aperture will create a new Master and one Version. Assuming that your images are PSD/TIFF/JPEG that you created in something like Photoshop, then each one that your import will be a new Master. You have many options:
-- Stick the originals in one Project(s) and the edited versions in another Project(s).
-- Stick them all in the same Project(s) and "Stack" them.
But here is the real question: Why are you doing all of this work and what are you trying to accomplish? Seems you are trying to preserve old things that don't need preserving in a non-destructive workflow.
So, what is most valuable to you?
-- The original, out of camera files? (That is, the fear/need to revert.)
-- The edited versions? (That is the hours of work that it took you to get there.)
If the former, import the originals and ignore the edited versions. (Either simply leave them out on disk or import them into their own Projects which you ignore.) Use Aperture to recreate the work you had done previously. This will always give you the ability to revert to the original Master and create as many Versions as you want. This is the best idea if your edits are relatively simple crops and exposure adjustments,
If the latter, then import the edited versions and do as above with the originals. This makes more sense if your work uses lots of layers and, perhaps lots of clone tool type corrections.
Of course, you can do a bit of both.
Others may have better suggestions, but you will find it easy to answer your own question when you understand an image based, as opposed to a file based, non-destructive workflow.
Good luck!

Is there a way to prevent Itunes from transfering a single album to Ipod?

Hello everybody,
I am trying to find an alternate way to prevent a cd from transfering from my Itunes library to Ipod, instead of turning off the auto-update and manually transfering my music.
any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

I believe that in the before the song title there is a little check box. I'm pretty sure that if you uncheck the box of all the songs in that cd than plug in you're ipod it should delete those songs but keep them on iTunes.
Hopefully that helped

Is there any way to prevent iTunes from making duplicates of all my tunes?

I've a repeating problem that iTunes duplicates my music files every time I open it. After it had made duplicates (and triplicates) of every tune, I blew away the library, went through my music folder and got rid of all the dupe files, and reimported it into iTunes. I haven't used iTunes since, but when I opened it today to start rebuilding my playlists, it is again making dupes of my files. When I open it, it says it is "Updating iTunes library...', and after it finishes there are more copies of files already there.
Any way to prevent this?

Yes the 2 main ways are with an ipod and external drive. Apple covers doing it with an ipod but you can follow the same steps, just skip afew http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173

Is there a way to prevent iTunes from updating apps?

I have recently updated an app that I love to play but the update caused me to lose all my saved data and it's very buggy and crashes all the time. I managed to rescue the old version from the recycle bin and deleted the new version from iTunes and my iPod Touch before dragging the old version back into iTunes, but iTunes and the App Store wants to update that app. Does anybody know a way to tell iTunes and the App Store do not check for updates for a particular app?

I don't want iTunes to ask me at all to update that particular app. The new version will still lose all data in that app and I don't want to worry about accidentally clicking update all.

Is There Any Way to Stop iTunes from Deleting Album Covers?

I have just spent hours organizing my music library, only to close iTunes for a moment and open it again to find half my album covers have been deleted. I know how to fix it, but you can imagine my frustration. "Get Album Artwork" seems to have stopped functioning as well, so thats manually fixing around 30 albums. I've seen people ask about this problem before. It's happened to me before but never to this extent. My main questions are:
1. Why does this happen?
2. How can I stop it from happening in the future?

I guess there's no way to make it stop, judging by the lack of any response.

Is there any way to prevent Aperture from Auto Cropping an image?

Is there any way to prevent Aperture from auto cropping an image? I use the "Do Not Crop" aspect ratio often and Aperture constantly picks cropping aspects for me, which is driving me crazy. Can I set "Do Not Crop" as the ratio I want on a more permanent basis anyhow? Thanks for the help.
Chris

This is a current bug. Please report it via "Aperture→Send Aperture Feedback".
Just to clarify, the problem is not auto-cropping, the problem is the the crop tool aspect ratio is arbitrarily set (in my case, always to something close to the current crop aspect ratio). You can reset it (on a per-crop basis) to "Do not constrain".
It is very bothersome.
You might try trashing your prefs. Details on the Trouble-shooting page. I have had the bug return more than once.

Is there a way to prevent videos from being deleted?

My 11 year old son, who is autistic, has an iPad that he uses for communication and for watching movies that we've purchased for him. Is there a way to prevent him from deleting the movies once we've synced them to his iPad? He keeps deleting them!
Thanks!
Sarah

Is there a way to prevent iCloud from duplicating songs downloaded if I manually sync my iPhone with my PC?

You can avoid duplicates by only syncing with iCloud (Wi-Fi) or iTunes but not both.

I don't want my Facebook Contacts added to my iphone Contacts as a result of this new update. Is there a way to prevent that from happening?

I've been told that when I apply the latest update issued by APPLE, it will add all my Facebook Friends into my Contacts on my iPhone. Is there a way to prevent that from happening?

Unfortunately when upgrading to iOS 6 the setting to add Facebook Contacts to your Contacts app is on by default. But once the upgrade is complete you can go to:
Settings > Facebook > and turn off Contacts.
That will get rid of the Facebook stuff showing up in your Contacts app.
BTW, I also turned off Calendar on my iPhone and iPad so that Facebook events and Friend's birthdays etc. will not show in my Calendar app.

When I save photos or videos from my iPhone 4S to my PC they are all sideways. Is there a way to prevent this from happening? All are taking with the phone in portrait mode.

Shot videos ONLY in landscape. For photos choose what's you like. Maybe you have to rotate photos on PC. What's your operating system?
