Is there a way to prevent pictures/video from uploading to iCloud photo library from my iPhone and just have pictures/video from my Macbook in Photos upload to iCloud Photo Library?

I would like just my imported photos and video in the Photos App to be synced to my iCloud Photo Library, and not the photos and video from my iPhone. Is there a way to do this?

You can either sync them back to your iPhone is you have them saved on a computer, or you can restore from a backup if you have one.  Those would be about your only options. iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

    I have an IPhone 4, and I wanted to reset it, but couldn't do it via computer because the "find my IPhone" was turned on. So I went to ICloud > Find My IPhone and just erased my phone from there. The was acting weird but I finally got to a black screen with the spinning circle. And it won't advance. I can't just hold the sleep button and home button down because my sleep button is broken! Any help? I have reset my phone before.

  • I have 2 Apple IDs, 1 associated with all the family devices and the other which has no devices associated with it.  Is there a way to split out the devices between the 2 IDs without losing apps(iPhone) and music (ipod classic)?

    I have 2 Apple IDs.  1 associated with all the family's devices and the other with no devices associated with it.  Is there a way to split out the devices between the 2 IDs without losing Apps (iPhone 4s) or music (iPod classic)?

    i'd be inclined to leave things as they are. Managing app updates over more than one account in the same library or device requires you to sign in and out of each account in turn. You cannot transfer content from one account to another.

  • Is there a way to mirror your monitor to your tv using the apple composite cable instead to just stream your video in specific situations?

    Hello,
    i bought the composite video cable out for the ipad and i want to know if there is a way to mirror the ipad monitor instead to just transmit video in specific sittuations. The same to my iphone.
    I know that there is a way to do it in jailbreak ipads or iphones (using a app, but don't want to do it).

    Thanks Dave.  When I read the manuals they did not communciate this point this clearly.
    Use one of these to connect iPad to a TV or projector:
    Apple Digital AV Adapter and an HDMI cableÂÂ
    Apple Component AV CableÂÂ
    Apple Composite AV CableÂÂ
    Apple VGA AdapterÂÂ
    If you use the Apple Digital AV Adapter or the Apple Component AV Cable, high-resolution videos are shown in HD quality. Apple cables are available for purchase in many countries. Go to www.apple.com/store.
    With iPad 2, when the cable is connected to a TV or projector, the iPad screen is automatically mirrored on the external display in up to 1080p resolution, and videos play at a maximum resolution of 720p. Some apps such as Keynote may use the external display as a second video monitor. With previous iPad models, only certain applications (including YouTube, Videos, and Photos) use the external display.

  • 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?

  • Is there a way to prevent everyone seeing replies to picture messages sent to multiple people?

    When I send a picture message to multiple people at once, all the iPhone users I send the message to receive everyone else's replies, no matter what my message settings are. The Droid and Blackberry users I send it to don't receive them. Is there a way to prevent this from happening, other than not sending pics to multiple people at once?

    You can provide feedback to Apple to let them know of any feature improvements you would like to see on the iPhone. Doesn't mean they will provide them, but you never know. Use this link to send the feedback http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

  • Is there a way to prevent accidentally deleting pictures?

    I am wondering if there is any sort of safety setting to keep from having my photos accidentally deleted?  My grandson likes to look at the pictures, but I am worried that he will swipe the trash can and then delete the pictures before I can stop him.  Is there any way to prevent this from happening?  (besides the obvious which would be to disallow him to look at the photo albums...a sure fire way to silence him in a restaurant or church.)

    You're welcome.
    Here's an app that might help!

    Only thing is finding a wifi spot...
    OR maybe if you find the time, email ones to your personal account you want to keep before the viewing begins!
    Just ideas, really.
    Good lcuk!

  • I have an iPad 2, and I am sending PDF file to my iPad, via a Hotmail email. But, the PDF arrives to the iPad in Mail already opended, as a picture on the bottom of the email. Is there a way to prevent it from auto open, so I can open with iBooks instead?

    I have an iPad 2, and I am sending PDF files to my iPad, via a Hotmail account. But, the PDF arrives to the iPad Mail account already opened at the bottom of the email. Is there a way to prevent this auto-opening of the PDF. I've seen screen shots with the box, and PDF listed inside the box, but mine open automatically. I want to get them into iBooks...?

    I am having the same problem and it is even bigger.
    When opening a 1-page PDF in iBooks and sending it via mail it is sent inline as preview, but the recipient cannot open the file anymore. Also on iPad and iPhone there is no "open in" possible.
    Somehow the mail app does destroy the file. What is going wrong?

  • 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!

  • I'm trying to add a playlist manually to my iPhone 4. It won't let me because it's trying to delete all of the music currently on my iPhone. Is there any way to prevent this from happening in order to start manually updating it?

    I'm trying to add a playlist manually to my iPhone 4. It won't let me because it's trying to delete all of the music currently on my iPhone. Is there any way to prevent this from happening in order to start manually updating it?

    Are you leaving the box unchecked to Manually manage music & videos? You don't need to to add anything to the iPhone.
    Simply drag the playlist to the iPhone to manually add it.

  • Is there a way to prevent airplay from restarting the playback?

    Sometimes when I'm out I'll watch a video on my iPad, then when get back home, I decide to continue the video using airplay on my TV. Every time I do this, the playback restarts from 00:00, and not where I left off. Is there a way to prevent this and have the airplay continue from where I left off? The video I am usually watching is an iTunes U lecture.

    This can be done via specifying the "RestrictPreferenceCaching" parameter as described in the Anyconnect Admin Guide here:
    By design, AnyConnect does not cache sensitive information to disk. Enabling this parameter extends this policy to any type of user information stored in the AnyConnect preferences.
    •Credentials—The user name and second user name are not cached.
    •Thumbprints—The client and server certificate thumbprints are not cached.
    •CredentialsAndThumbprints—Certificate thumbprints and user names are not cached.
    •All—No automatic preferences are cached.
    •false—All preferences are written to disk (default—behavior consistent with AnyConnect 2.3 and earlier).

  • Is there a way to prevent psd from being the default file extension?

    In previous versions, psd was added automatically if the document was layered. Since I don't use psd, I had to manually change to tiff.
    But I'm finding that even flat (unlayered) files that came in as jpgs have psd inserted as the default. I would have thought that, by default, a file could stay whatever it started out being. (Whether jpg or tiff, flat or layered).
    This happens when I "save as" even when I don't change the name of the file, only save it in a different location (such as a jpg file from a flashcard being saved to computer).
    Is there a way to prevent the extra step of rejecting psd? Is there a preference or something I have missed?

    Although the little camera I was using doesn't capture 16 bit, I did run the jpgs briefly through ACR to try out the shadows/highlight feature since the photos were perfect candidates. My preference there is to convert to 16 bit ProPhoto so maybe--even though the files opened as jpgs. That might be the problem: maybe bit depth is the trigger for psd assignment. Still, I wish there was a way to disable it.

  • I allow my grandchildren to play free games on my ipad that I download for them.  Is there a way to prevent them from accidentally (or otherwise) purchasing upgrades?  My 6 yr old just did so and has no idea how she did it.  Can I block this access?

    I allow my grandchildren to play free games on my ipad and iphone that I download for them.  Is there a way to prevent them from accidentally (or otherwise) purchasing upgrades?  My 6 yr old just did so and has no idea how she did it. Is there a setting that would prevent this from happening?

    Yes.  You can set restrictions.

  • Is there any way to prevent the OS from querying the Superdrive when start

    Just a random question. Whenever my MacBook Pro starts up (either from sleep or a complete/fresh start, the OS queries the drive slot to see if there is a disc present. While this may be normal behavior, it seems to slow down the start up process. (I rarely ever have a disc in the drive). Just curious if this, in fact, normal, or if there's something awry.

    Is there any way to prevent the OS from querying the Superdrive when start
    No
    he OS queries the drive slot to see if there is a disc present.
    How can you tell? Based on the noise it makes?

  • 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.
