Is there a way to tell itunes the location of an iphone backup?

the backup i want is in the correct folder but itunes won't recognise it.

OK one way is to simply change the location in iTunes preferences under "iTunes Music folder location" from the current external to the new external. Then use the consolidate command and iTunes will copy everything to the new external AND change the links in iTunes to point to the new location.
Cheers,
Patrick

  • Wireless sync only works when I unlock phone. Is there a way to tell itunes my phones unlock code?

    Wireless sync only works when I unlock phone. Is there a way to tell itunes my phones unlock code? Itunes tries to sync all night and posts 50 unknown errors. I unlock the phone and it syncs. I dont want my phone sitting around without a lock code but with wireless sync I cant find a place to tell itunes my code so it can sync? Any help is appreciated... Ray O

    I have the same problem. I am forced to have a PIN set on my devices because I use my corporate exchange email and sync over wi-fi initially fails until I manually unlock the phone/ipad.  #ckuan needs to read the words wiritten.  We know how it's supposed to work but it won't start until you enter the PIN. Until then I get error messages saying either it cannot find the phone or explicitly telling me I need to unlock it.

  • Is there a way to pre-set the alarm volume on iPhone?

    Is there a way to pre-set the alarm volume on iPhone? Every evening I have to remember to adjust the volume to 3 bars, versus full volume during the day.

    I cannot believe this problem hasn't been rectified yet!
    If I use the pre installed ringtone as an alarm and set it low so I don't jump out of my skin, then my call volume is too low the next day, so have to change it.
    If I use a song as an alarm, I have the same problem, but its when I watch a video. I set it quiet, then jump out of my skin the next morning if I've left it tuned up after watching YouTube. Also works the other way if I've watched a video with the sound down, and forget to turn it back up, then I don't hear my alarm, which makes me late!
    It could also do with an ascending volume option, so it starts nice and quiet to wake you gradually. My old phones from pre iPhone days had these features and they worked great.
    Surely this isn't that much of an issue to sort out. Yet I've seen posts back as far as 2006 complaining about it.
    Come on apple pull your finger out!

  • Is there a way to recover iCal data from computer or iPhone backup through iTunes?

    I  synched my iPad  with my computer and my ALL of my iCal information disappeared from my computer. I tried put my calendar information back on my computer from my iPhone, but instead the reverse happened, and all of my calendar information disappeared from my iPhone, too.
    I am using an older MacBook Pro (15-inch Core 2 Duo), running Mac OS X Lion version 10.7.4, an iPhone 4, iPad 1, and iPod Touch, all using iOS 5.1.1 (9B206). I regularly use iCal on my iPhone and on my computer, but not on the iPad and iPod Touch.
    I do not use iCloud because my personal calendar and contact information was appearing on other family member's iPhones. (We share an iTunes library in under my Apple ID, and I did not want to create a different Apple ID for iCloud yet.).
    Is there a way to recover my iCal info on my computer? Or alternatively, could I recover it on my iPhone from my iTunes backups (my iTunes backups are encrypted)?
    Of course, I learned my lesson, and if I recover my data, I will back up my calendar daily, but for now, valuable information is lost, and I would like to recover it if at all possible.
    Any help at all will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    You'll have to confirm with the developer of Keeper whether the data is stored as part of the iPhone backup or not. If it is, then restoring the iPhone from your latest back should restore the data to Keeper. My guess, though, is that since the free version of Keeper won't allow you to create a backup, the data is not part of the iTunes backup and hence won't be restored.
    Regards.

  • How do I change the location of my iPhone Backup?  I have no room.

    I understand the the iPhone backups my phone data in the following location:
    C:\Documents and Settings\USER NAME\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync
    The problem is that I have a partitioned drive with a relatively small C Drive, this means that my iPhone doesn't have enough room to back itself up. I have lots of space on my D Drive. How can I tell iTunes to back up the data on the D Drive?
    This is incredibly frustrating because if I can't change locations and have to unpartition my drive, there is no way for me to back up my data for when I reformat my computer.

    If the size of the iPhone backup is putting you over the edge you have bigger problems than just this backup. You really need to solve the fundamental problem of your C: partition being too small. Even if you could solve the iPhone problem something else will come up soon that will again challenge your disk space. New drives can be had for well under $100, and even a 500 GB drive is only a little more than $100. This would be a good time to upgrade. You can even clone your current drive AND increase the partition size in one step with disk imaging software such as Acronis True Image.

  • Is there a way to tell if the date on a picture in iPhoto is from actual metadata vs just the date it was imported to the program?

    I have many photos in iPhoto whose dates I know to be wrong and many appear to be the date I moved them all to a new Mac. I photos in question, I think, were originally on a PC and in Picassa. If it was taken before metadata was embedded, I suppose I can just guess and change the dates on the photos however, if iPhoto just applied the date of the transfer to the Mac, perhaps there is accurate metadata somewhere that I could retreive. How can I tell where iPhoto is getting its dates for pictures?
    Thanks,

    If the Exif metadata is intact, then iPhoto gets the date from there. If it's not, then iPhoto gets the file date.
    So, if iPhoto is showing you the date of import there is no Exif intact.

  • I have 1 contact with 2 different phone numbers. Is there a way to tell in the messaging app which number is which?

    In the message thread, I can scroll all the way up to click on contact and see which number it is. I was hoping that there was a quicker way, like the contact name with the phone label displayed too.

    Lucia:
    Unfortunately the photo titles are sorted alphanumerically and that's why you get 1, 11, 12, etc. What you need to do is pad zeros before the number, i.e. 001.jpg, etc. for up to 100 photos or 0001.jpg for up to 1000 photos in one group. That's how the Finder sorts them also unless you select by date or one of the other options.
    You can put them in an album, sorted manually and arrange them in the order you want. Then select all and use the Photos->Batch Change to give them new titles of your choice with an incremental number afterward. The will be titles "your title-01.jpg" if less than 100 or "your title-001.jpg" if less than 1000. However the original file names will not be changed and can only be changed by exporting out of iPhoto with the option to use the title as the new file name.

    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Is there a way to tell when the trash bin in iPhoto was emptied?

    I am a teacher. I lost some very important photos and was under the impression that one of my students deleted them because she was mad at me. I was confused about how she did this because the main trash bin was still completely full. I didn't think until I got home about the trash bin in iPhoto. After a couple of tests, I think this is probably how she deleted the (since-recovered) photos.
    My question is, am I able to tell when photos were deleted from iPhoto?

    None that I know of.

  • I feel like a sucker. I bought an iPAD2 at Fry's where I was told by the salesman that the non 3-G version does have GPS. It does not have GPS.  Is there any way I can use the GPS on my Iphone or Garmin to display in my new mostly unuseable iPad2?

    Is there anyway to input a live, real time  video feed into an iPad2? I would like to use it as a remote monitor for a microscope camera in electrophysiology. Our camera was designed to run off of an older Mac via a firewire connection.  The camera is SUPERB but the computers are dated.  The older  computers connected to an AC line are  electrically noisy.  I have worked out converting the signal from our camera to HDMI and/or USB2 but the iPad2 will not allow any input except via iTunes which is not real time, and requires several steps. Is it possible to use the only mostly useless iPad2 as the excellent portable DC driven display which it is?!!!  How do I get Apple to say anything but IGNORE, IGNORE IGNORE.  This would be a universal application in academics and all I think I need is permission from the iPad2. The original signal was designed for Apple hardware. They can have the patents. HELP?

  • Is there any way i can get the pictures off my iphone 4 if my computer doesnt detect it ?

    my computer cannot detect my iphone 4 and my phone is stuck on the charging screen is there anyway i can get my pictures off it ?

    What do you mean that your phone is stuck on the charging screen? Have you tried resetting your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Apple appears the device is resetting and the Home screen should display shortly.

  • In the Lync Database, is there a way to tell if a call has been answered or gone to voicemail?

    We are using Lync 2010.
    In Lync, if a call is not answered, and does not go to voicemail, is anything recorded in the Lync database ?
    It looks to me as if nothing is recorded in the database, but I was wondering if there is an option in Lync configuration to make Lync record such activity in its database.
    Is there a way to tell from the LYnc database if a call was answered by a person or went to voicemail
    I have been looking at the LCSCDR database, at the sessionDetails table, but cannot see a way of distinguising between these scenarios.

    Nothing is recorded if the call is not answered and does not go to voicemail.  This is a source of frustration for me, and there is no way that I'm aware of to record this information to the LCSCdr database.
    To see if voicemail answered, you want to look at the client version that answered the call, voicemail will say ExchangeUM.  You can see me messing around with this in the below example, pulling from SessionDetails.User2ClientVerId and matching against
    the ClientVersions table.

  • Is there a way to get iTunes to halt on import errors from CD?

    I've been importing a bunch of CDs on my G5 Quad, and I've found that when there are issues with the disc iTunes will retry a few times - you can see the progress bar halt - and will say the import succeeded where in reality the imported track has skips in it.
    Is there any way to tell iTunes to error out when this happens? Would shutting off error recovery help or just result in more skips in imported songs?
    This behavior makes it impossible to import in an automated way; instead you have to watch the progress bar like a hawk and/or check each imported song...

  • Is there a way to temporarily disable the iPod in the iPhone. I am trying to stream from an app and it gets overridden by the iPod initializing

    Is there a way to temporarily disable the iPod within my iPhone. I am trying to stream music using an app and a dock on my Sony AIR and the stream is over ridden by the iPod starting up.

    First of all, an idle threat is one that a person has no intention of carrying out. In the past 16 months that I have had this phone I have become less and less satisfied and found that it is like much of today's technology....over rated and under performing. The one thing that I have never been accused of is not wanting, or not giving help but when a company makes itself unavailable to resolve issues and leaves it to forums run by users helping users, it speaks more about the company than anything else they could do. As I said, I do not make idle threats and I did not threaten you in any way. Guess I'll call this topic done with as it is not and was not the intent to get a war started
