Is this sync really necessary?

Every time I sync my iPhone, it recopies everything: all music, all movies etc. even though they are already on the phone.
Yes, I know I could go into the sync pages and deselect things I don't want changed, but that removes things from the phone.
How can I set it up to sync only the things that are new and need to be updated?

I also have some similar issues.
I feel as if when I had only m iPhone and launched iTunes (set to not sync auto) made a change and clicked Apply it would only Sync "update" - meaning the changes - so if all I added was an albumn of 10 pictures it would take a short amount of time.
Now I have gotten an iPad in the past month and have been noticing my syncing seems out of wack on both. My phone will be fine I will go to sync then later notice that all my songs have been wiped off.
Similar things with both devices - it feels like each time I connect the sync setting for each device or previous syncs have changed on their own

  • Restore my iPod touch can make me lose everything I have and is it really necessary? // Restaurer mon IPod touch peut-il me faire perdre tout ce que j'ai et est-ce vraiment nécessaire??

    Hi everyone!
    I have problems with my 4th generation IPod Touch for a while.
    First, it was no longer recognized by Windows or by ITunes and yet il worked fine forabout 2 week.... it is beyond comprehension!!   Ican no longer use ITunes... not pratical!!   I'm actively looking for solutions.
    I finally solved the problem of recognition with Windows, with the help of Apple.  Now, I still have the problem of recognition with which ITunes still does not work.  When I open ITunes, a warning message telling me to restore my IPod.
    My fear is losing my music but also some conversations, my bookmarks, my pictures and  my apps and data entered in them.  I would lose nothing, find my IPod as it's now after the restoration.
    Is it possible to not lose its data during a restore??  If so, how??  Is ICloud does the work??  
    Is it really necessary to restore my IPod??  Do you think this would solve my problem really??
    Could you please help me???
    Thank you in advance for your answers!

    Bonjour à vous!
    J'ai des problèmes avec mon Ipod touch 4e génération depuis un bon moment.
    Tout d'abord, il n'était plus reconnu par Windows ni par ITunes et pourtant il a bien fonctionné durant environ 2 semaines... c'est à n'y rien comprendre!!   Je ne peux donc plus utiliser ITunes... pas pratique!!   Je suis donc en recherche active de solutions.
    J'ai finalement résolu le problème de reconnaissance avec Windows, avec l'aide Apple. Maintenant, il me reste le problème de reconnaissance avec ITunes, qui ne fonctionne toujours pas.  Lorsque j'ouvre ITunes, un message d'alerte me dit de restaurer mon IPod. Ma crainte est de perdre ma musique mais surtout certaines conversations, mes signets, mes photos ainsi que mes applications et les données entrées dans ces dernières.  J'aimerais ne rien perdre, retrouver mon IPod comme il est maintenant après la restauration.
    Y a-t'il une façon de ne pas perdre ses données lors d'une restauration??  Si oui comment??  Est-ce que ICloud fait le travail??  
    Est-ce vraiment nécessaire de restaurer mon IPod??  Croyez-vous que ça règlerait vraiment mon problème??  
    Pouvez-vous m'aidez svp???
    Merci d'avance pour vos réponses!

    Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Connectez-vous via le câble à l'ordinateur que vous utilisez pour la synchronisation. A partir d'iTunes, sélectionnez l'iPad / iPod, puis sélectionnez l'onglet Résumé. Suivre les indications pour la restauration et assurez-vous de dire «oui» à la sauvegarde. Vous serez averti que toutes les données (applications, musique, films, etc) seront effacées, mais, comme les finitions de restauration, il vous sera demandé si vous souhaitez le contenu de la sauvegarde à copier à l'iPad / iPod. Encore une fois, dire «oui».

  • Why can I not synch my brand new IPod with one purchased itune and 2 riped from a CD, both of which are shown in my itunes account. The unhelpful "support" suggests I click an icon pictured but not in any screen view available to me. This is really off-pu

    Just bought an IPod Classic and put 3 songs on my iTunes account - 1 purchased and 2 from a CD.  I can't sync and the screen shot shown in the help section doesn't ressemble my scren views. i have now been on hold for 55 minutes despite a mesage saying "15 minutes or more" that implied a much quicker experience. This is really an unimpressive begining.

  • Is the rating system really necessary?

    I know... I know... I'm probably getting on a touchy subject here.
    I understand the desire for a sort of incentive for people to answer questions but it is my observation that use of points is hardly consistent. For the most part, it seems like questions from established users tend to get helpful and solved answers most of the time. Great. The point system works in that instance.
    I have also noticed that I will see someone come on the boards, post a question, get their answer and never post again. They either don't know about the rating system or they do not stay long enough to use it.
    Does that mean I need to look at the O.P.'s post count before I post an answer? I think that's shallow. If someone has question and I think I know a solution, then I will post a solution.
    But what is the solution? Do away with the rating system? I think some upper-level members would have a justifiable objection to that. Change it to a raw post count? I suspect we would see an even higher number of posts deleted because of people trying to pad their numbers.
    What if members received 1 point for marking an answer as helpful and 2 points for marking an answer as solved?
    Its a thought.

    No, the rating (reputation) system isn't really necessary, but it does serve as an incentive for many people to increase their participation, and increased participation lends itself to the perception of increased value in this Apple-provided service, if not to the usefulness of the bulk of the posts that are left here.
    Ultimately, there are a lot of things that go into the decision to attach a reputation system of one kind or another to Discussions, and there has been one such system or another in place here for many years, so there is no reason to believe that the concept will ever be abandoned.
    As to the idea that upper-level members would object to its loss, yes, some would. Maybe many. On the other hand, there are quite a few of us who see through this charade and do what we can do undermine its importance relative to the real mission of Apple's Discussions. In the end, I'd like to think that our cynicism helps to balance out the "shallowness" of post-count building and points-grubbing strategies that seem to obsess many of our peers.
    What if members received 1 point for marking an answer as helpful and 2 points for marking an answer as solved?
    I've suggested this myself in the past, but one of the roadblocks to its implementation is that the current software is only able to mete out points in increments of 5. Oh well....
    Good luck!

  • FK's indexes : really necessary ?

    Hi all,
    I have a database with an index for each Foreign Key. This leads me to wonder whether theses indexes are really necessary ?
    I read elsewhere that a query like this one would help me to see which indexes are really worth it (the bigger the ratio, the best the index) :
    select distinct_keys/num_rows as ratio, distinct_keys, num_rows, index_name
    from user_indexes
    where num_rows != 0
    order by ratio;Can anyone confirm this is a good clue, or give me some more advice
    Thanks for your comments

    It says that indexes on FK are necessary to prevent table-level locks.
    Now my question is : what if statistics are not set for theses indexes ? Will Oracle ignore them and lock the tables ?

  • CU51 really necessary?

    Hi all,
    We enter KMAT and configuration values in SD order.
    In order to have our BOM exploded according to configuration in Production order, we need to go CU51 and save the configuration.
    The question is, CU51 is really necessary for activating configuration ? Because we never change anything in the BOM over CU51, which is to explode according to Sales order item characterictic values. I wish, the BOM explodes in production order appropriately without visiting CU51
    Thanks

    In order to ensure that an order BOM is exploded, one of the following steps must be performed:
    Before saving a sales order in the transaction VA01 or VA02, make sure to go to "Engineering" from within the configuration.
    Save the Order/Item in the transaction CU51.
    Activate the switch GV_FORCE_BOM_EXPLOSION_ASL (Include LCUKOFBE) from SAP note 303446. This switch forces an explosion of the order BOM from within the sales order, without going to the "Engineering" view.
    Use the report RCU_CU51_DARK from SAP notes 371188 and 384624.

  • Is 'Leopard' really necessary?

    Hi again..
    I've been reading different threads on this topic (some of which were negative on various Leopard features) and was just wondering whether it was really necessary to install Leopard?
    We only recently bought our Mac and I was just concerned that I might end up with unnecessary problems....
    What are the benefits of (or purpose in) installing this software/upgrade?
    Any information on this would be appreciated, thanks!

    After one week using Leopard, I was ready to say it was far more trouble than it was worth. Against my better judgement, I decided to do the default "Upgrade" install, but not before I made a clone of my Tiger startup disk, & it would have been a nightmare without that. The install seemed to go fine but my iMac would not restart completely -- no menu bar, no Finder, & a stuck Dock. I tried a lot of things but ultimately had to erase the drive from Disk Utility on the Leopard DVD -- Erase & Install would not even work from within the installer, repeatedly giving me a message about not being able to unmount the target volume. But after around 12 hours total effort, I successfully installed it 'from scratch' on the newly reformatted drive & used Setup Assistant to migrate everything from the clone.
    I have no idea why I had these problems: I had used Tiger's latest version of Disk Utility prior to the first attempt to verify that the Tiger install had correct permissions & that the file system was OK. I had no third party hacks installed (& I'm obsessed enough about the evils of such things to know how to find them, even when stuck into the nooks & crannies of the OS). "Clean" is an overused term, but my Tiger OS was as pristine as I know how to make it, drawing on almost two years of active participation in these forums & everything all its gurus taught me.
    Anyway, even after getting it installed successfully, & doing everything suggested here & elsewhere to make sure it was in good health, I had a variety of small & not-quite-so small problems. The 10.5.1 update helped some, as did Apple's k-base articles about repairing oddities introduced by upgrading from Tiger & such, but it still was disappointingly unstable compared to 10.4.10. Worse, I learned that several of my mainstay apps weren't Leopard-compatible.
    But I stayed with it, partially because I could always reboot into Tiger with my clone when I needed to, partially because I'm just stubborn enough not to want to admit defeat, but mostly because the new feature set really does have a lot to offer that Tiger does not. The biggies like Time Machine are great but I find all the little refinements are really what I like most. For example, I didn't think something as simple as being able to display the path in the bottom of all Finder windows (like in Spotlight searches) would be such a boon, but it is. Spotlight is still far from perfect but Boolean searches make it much more powerful.
    Long story short(er), I find that when I need to boot back into Tiger, I really miss all the little things it won't do that Leopard will. There are still some rough edges & things that need to be rethought, & it still isn't as stable as I would like but overall, as the two months of use mark approaches, I do not regret buying it & making it my mainstay OS version.
    Necessary? No. Worth it? It is for me.

  • Is it really Necessary?

    Is it really necessary to download your Blackberry OS from a specified carrier like this one? :https://swdownloads.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry​.do?code=4558DBB6F6F8BB2E16D03B85BDE76E2C

    Device operating system releases are "released" by specific carriers once they have certified and trained their support techs, but still, you are able to load to any carrier's same model by following specific instructions.
    Some users might worry they will void their device warranty by loading an OS from another carrier. There is really nothing to worry about. Please read more information on that here: http://www.port3101.org/power-users/296-blackberry​-os-upgrade-including-betas-myths-dispelled.html

  • Is DPS really necessary to create an Android app?

    Is DPS really necessary to create an Android app? I ask because I'm trying to create my first app and a colleague of mine bought DPS but then cancelled his subscription because he found a tutorial that showed that all he needed was InDesign (he's running CS6 on a Mac but I'm running CC(2014) on a PC running Windows 7). When he selects a folio in the Folio Builder and then selects the options dropdown in the top right hand corner of the box he has an option to 'Create App' but for me that doesn't exist. Can anyone explain this please?
    I have so far managed to upload my folio to the DPS Dashboard and from within that I have published it, tested it on my Android device using the 'Adobe Content View' that I downloaded from the 'Google Play store' and I've also exported my app from the DPS Dashboard as a .zip file. What I can't do (or don't understand how to do) is the next bit. How do I get from the .zip to an app with its own icon. Do I have to purchase a DPS account to go any further? Also worth mentioning is that I don't want to upload this app to the 'Google Play Store' as I only intend it to run on a few tablets.
    Thanks,
    Joe

    Thanks Bob, can I also ask...am I right in thinking that a single-folio app cannot be created for Android? What I want to do is simply have a single page view divided into six areas and clinking on one of the 6 areas plays a video full screen and then at the end returns to the page showing the six videos...nothing fancy!
    Thanks,
    Joe

  • Is an admin server (WebLogicAdmin) really necessary for production PIA?

    Greetings:
    We're on PT 8.50 and WebLogic 10.3 on Windows 2008 R2. The PT install instructions say the Multi Server Domain config option is intended for production environments but I'm not sure that's necessary in all cases. For instance, if PSOL and PSEMHUB are hosted on another server configured Multi Server Domain why would you need to configure another Multi Server Domain just for PIA? Is there any benefit to that? It seems to me there would be less overhead running a Single Server Domain for PIA but I am not an expert. Any input, pros/cons, experience is appreciated. We are a small to medium sized FSCM 9.0 installation - no WebLogic clusters or anything.
    Thanks!
    John

    It's not really necessary to have a multi weblogic domain setup if you're not going to assign multiple IP addresses to the server running Weblogic. The multi domain setup will only use its full potential when you go for a failover and load balancing setup. This way you assign a different IP to each of the PIA instances. A load balancer will then balance the load between the PIA instances. The reason why Oracle recommends having a multi server domain is for when you have the PeopleBooks running on the same server. This is because the PeopleBooks might affect your PeopleSoft production environment when it's having problems. With a single server domain only one webserver will be handling the load for both the PeopleBooks and PeopleSoft. If there's a servlet failing on the PeopleBooks for some reason then it will cause problems.
    If the PeopleBooks are running on a seperate server you're theoretically already running a multi server setup. I don't see a reason why you can't use the single server domain.

    Hi,
    Is there an iPhone involved ?
    If not, what happens  if you remove the Apple ID on the iPad and then set it in Airplane Mode (allow a couple of minutes at this point) followed by re-adding the Apple ID ?
    What, if any error messages are appearing on the Mac when you try to launch the App or Login to the iMessages server ?
    Is the Apple ID linked to an iCloud account ?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Assuming you have finished with your old backup.....
    You can see what your iCloud storage is used for and delete any unwanted content at settings > iCloud > backup & storage > manage......
