Major sync help needed

So I had to do a clean operating system install on my computer. I did backup my itunes music folder on a flash drive, but that did not work I guess. So I installed itunes again and want to know how to get everything from my iphone back to my computer??? I need my contacts, music and everything. Please help

If you copied the iTunes folder, where did you place the copy of the iTunes folder after you did a clean install of the operating system?
With iTunes quit, the iTunes folder should be placed in your Music folder, which I believe is located in the Documents folder on a PC.
You also need to re-authorize your computer with your iTunes account with iTunes
Photos on your iPhone that were transferred from your computer should have been included with your computer's backup, and can be restored from the backup.
Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book application on your computer. If you aren't syncing contacts with a supported application and the same for calendar events - these options are not selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences, contacts and calendar events will not be touched on your iPhone, and the same for photos in your iPhone's camera roll. Photos in your iPhone's camera roll are not touched during the iTunes sync process except for being included with your iPhone's backup.

IMovie syncing help needed!!!

Am trying to use iMovie 11 and am going insane, seriously insane. I wanted to make an interview between my brother and I in time for xmas. So we recorded ourselves on camera, and used a zoom box and mike to record seperate and better quality audio.
Now, all I want is to attach and sync my audio clip with my takes, and his audio clips with his takes. Shouldn't be too difficult, right? Here is the problem. Once synced, I need to CUT DIFFERENT CLIPS and put them together, i.e. my brother talking, then me talking, then him etc. Yet I want these clips to have the seperate audio tracks attached and sliced in the same spot, which is just not happening.
I can attach the audio in the project window, but what I want somehow is to attach and replace the audio in the EVENT window, so I can just select the clip I want and drag into projects, and the synced audio will come with it. Does that make sense?
This would seem the most basic video editing ever but iMovie just won't do it!
Any help would be appreciated before I burn my mac and go back to a PC : (

This is difficult in iMovie, and rather easy in Final Cut Pro.
If you would like to avoid the expense of Final Cut Pro, I would recommend this...
1) Sync your takes, make a project out of it, and SHARE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME to Apple Intermediate Codec so you retain as much quality as possible. Repeat this for your brother's takes.
2) Now import these AIC movies into iMovie using File/Import/Movies. This will give ou the video and the good audio together in unified clips.
3) Now edit your iMovie project as usual.

Calendar sync help needed

I am not allowed to use Outlook email at my workplace. It seems that I cannot use only the Outlook calendar to sync my Iphone without making it my primary email client. I need to have a desktop calendar of some sort at my work in order to manage my appointments. We are allowed to use Palm desktop or any web based calendar. I am trying to find a solution with 2 way sync between my Iphone and calendar. Can anyone help? I would deeply appreciate it as this has been a substantial problem for me with my Iphone. Thanks

Sorry u can onlky use ms outlook on a PC

Itunes/Syncing help needed

I have re-installed Itunes after a system crash. Now:
1.) Sync IPOD is greyed out
2.) I have used up all 5 activations for my one PC. I want to know how to reset that to 0 or 1.
3.) After 5 hours I have still not received the Restore Or Reset my User Name or Password email from Apple Support, so something is serious blown. (Yes I have checked all of my Junk/Spam folders and it isn't there either.)
Any helpers here?
Thanks

P.S.
This IPOD Touch is in need of a backup before I restore it to factory settings. Why?
I need to reset parental controls and the 4 digit security pin has been forgotten.
This IPOD has dozens of apps that she has paid for through Itunes. Can the APPS be restored from 'The Cloud', Itunes Store account records, anything?
What about the songs? Are they gone too?
How would I back up the apps, songs etc, without also backing up the inefficient security measures and forgotten pin?
Thanks

Major issue, help needed

Hi there,
Okay, I've got a problem, well a few of them actually, and I really needed to get some advice from others. So, I'm doing an HNC in Interactive Media at the moment in college. My class isn't exactly the best place to study, as its quite loud, but yet it's the only room (available on certain days at certain times) that I can use to get my work done because it has all the Adobe software I need.
My problem is that the version of the software is only at CS4, which the exception of Photoshop CS6 Extended added in their too. Now, I have no clue as to why the software hasn't been updated and it's not causing me a bit of worry. I desperately want to my work outside of class, to work away from the noise where there is no distraction and so on. So, I had taken out a Student Loan to buy myself a MacBook Pro and I was dead-set on buying myself CS6. However, I quickly realized that CS6 wouldn't be backwards compatable with older versions, i.e. CS4, right?
So I asked my lecturer, she advised me to buy the Adobe CS4 software package, which I was fine with. I had spent the last few days trying to find a Mac version, with the student discount (Like I could afford the full retail as a student), but I couldn't find one trace of it. I was always redirected to some fishy website that was able to crack it for me, which I didn't want - obviously.
My problem is that I've seen on the community discussion that Adobe doesn't sell CS4 anymore - already I'm panicking - because I don't know what to do. I can only see the option of: buying CS6 and basically not being able to use it because my lecturers wouldn't be able to open any of those files.
Please, I really need some help here. If you have any advice or knowledge on where I could possibly buy CS4 (if that is even possible) or maybe a method of saving CS6 files as CS4 files?
Thanks,
Andrew

And what program are we actually talking about? PS files are always compatible when saved with the "Maximum Compatibility" option, Illustrator allows back-saving to older formats and InDesign can save to CS4-compatible IDML (an exchange format). For other apps it's not really relevant - HTML is HTML and which version of Dreamweaver you use to edit it doesn't matter. Conversely, pretty much all universally accepted media formats for audio, video and images can be opened in most versions as can PDFs. That leaves only the video applications and Flash, but I can't imagine your teacher looking at your Premiere Pro project file when all you have to deliver is an edited movie nor do I think it would be particularly relevant how you created a Flash or After Effects file. All that aside, things are as they are - unless you can find someone trustworthy willing to part with his used CS4, there is no legal way to get it. It's a moot point, though, 'cos no matter what, it won't work properly on your shiny new Mac and may not even install, so you are in a very dark place, either way....

Improper syncing - help needed

When I switched to a new computer, the playlists and music that I had created went to a separate file on the computer. But the iPod does not sync to that file and I do not know how to transfer those files to the file that does sync with the iPod. There are two separate files in the iTunes folder on my computer - one has my whole music library, the other has music that happened to be on the iPod before the computer change. Can anyone help?

Actually, isn't the message that you are getting that the iPad hasn't been backed up for 3 weeks an iCloud message? I've never heard of the message about not having synced for 3 weeks. That doesn't solve the problem, I ask for clarity sake only.
Typically, resetting the iPad as we talked about will clear this message. I'm not sure what else to try if resetting doesn't work and with no access to a computer. I don't know what having acces to a computer and iTunes would do anyway, if the iPad is frozen with this message on the screen.
Are you sure that you waited long enough - until the Apple logo showed up on the screen - before you let go of the buttons? Have you tried it a few times?

Post-sync help needed for Macbook

Hi
I recently bought a Macbook Pro 2Gb and sync'ed it up to my old iBook G4 using the firewire cable. Unfortunately I think I've now realised that I didn't want to move my old applications over as most of them are pretty shoddy and some have been totally removed (including email).
How do I uninstall as such the old applications on my new Macbook and only use the fabulous new applications that come with Leopard? I'd like to keep the firewire'd documents etc. Should I totally uninstall everything and start again or is there a quick fix please?
Many thanks for helping a blonde in distress!
Em

yes I meant shoddy in the fact that they are unusable or old applications tht have improved versions for leopard. Because of installing old applications i can't even access an outlook type email application at the mo. All I want is to totally revert to the applications that Leopard comes with. I should never have firewire'd my applications from my g4 ibook over to my new macbook.
Thanks
Em

Sync help needed

i've seen other similar problems on here but the trail ends and I'm no further
I am unable to sync on my imac.
when I open mobile me in systems prefs the sync button is greyed out.
I've tried signing out of mobile me but cannot. I tried opening isync to reset, but get the message "SyncServices: Can't connect to the sync server: NSInvalidReceivePortException: connection went invalid while waiting for a reply ((null))"
I've restarted, tried the solution via terminal thats is suggested on another thread and still no luck.
I've deleted the mobile me password in keychain but when i signed in again the same problems existed.
any ideas?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
This is the iSync forum. iSync is only for syncing Contacts and Calendars to non-Apple mobile phones, not for syncing between Macs or to MobileMe.
The MobileMe forums start here: http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=116
In the meantime, try this:
First, make a backup of your Contacts and Calendars:
In *Address Book*, choose *Export > Address Book Archive...* from the File menu.
In iCal, choose *Back up iCal...* from the File menu.
Then navigate to:
~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices/
Make a backup of the Local folder then delete the original Local folder.
Restart the Mac and hopefully the message will be gone.

Premiere Elements 8.0 Trial Version - Major Headache HELP NEEDED!!!!

I successfully downloaded the trial version of this product with a view to purchasing at a later stage.
The installation was going well until right at the last minute, when the installation decided to uninstall itself.
Has anybody else had this problem?
I am running Windows Vista Home Edition and have recently installed the latest SP2......just wondering whether this has caused the problem

mike4smq
What browser are you using for the Premiere Elements 8 download from Adobe? Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer (what version?), other.
Mozilla Firefox will not give me a successful download of this software, whereas Internet Explorer (version 6) will. You could try the download from another browser.
Even when I was using Internet Explorer, I had a rough time downloading Photoshop Elements 8. The download kept coming with the name Premiere Elements, instead of Photoshop Elements. I believe that problem was on Adobe's end, since I kept retrying the download every so often, and the problems cleared in the early hours of the morning.
Since I have successfully downloaded Premiere Elements 8, I have had a few odd things going on with my computer, Windows XP Professional SP3. Premiere Elements 8 still does not import .flv. There is a plugin for accomplishing this that works for Premiere Elements 3 and 4, but not 7. I have downloaded and used it and subsequently uninstalled it, no problem. So now I decide to download it to try it on Premiere Elements 8. It will obsolutely not install. It keeps telling me that I do not have any version of Premiere or Premiere Elements installed on my computer. I do have, Premiere Elements 2, 4, 7, as well as 8. Of course, not all opened at the same time. So now I have to figure out why the plugin could be installed with 2, 4, and 7, but not 2, 4, 7, and 8....need to pin down cause and effect.

Major Ipod help needed

All right, one day, a few months ago, my sister lost her nano and found it the next day in a puddle beside her car. When she tried her iPod, it was acting a bit erratic, and barely worked. You could only listen to it on an iHome, but the wheel didn't work, sometimes the screen would lock up, it wouldn't accept a charge from the iHome, her laptop, nor our computer, it wouldn't show up on iTunes, and sometimes it would just flat out not work. Only last night was when she decided to throw it away. Being the pack rat and electronics fiddler I am, I took it, hooked it up, and it worked pretty well on my iHome, the wheel worked, songs played well, but it still wouldn't charge, and the date and times were reset. When I removed the iPod, it would go a bit crazy before it shut itself off, and when I plugged it into a computer the iPod screen says "Please wait...very low battery" but it will stay like that until you unplug it. and now to finally get to what I'm asking, I've tried any logical troubleshooting, but nothing worked, is my only other option to send it into Apple? and if so, how much do you think it would cost to have them repair it?
Message was edited by: [M]ike

Seems the iPod Nano does not get charged - battery problem?
If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ or ifixit at your own risk

Major jogl help needed

Hey guys, im a jogl (and opengl in general) nub. i have no idea wtf im doing. I want to learn jogl because i think that the current java2d isnt quite good enough for gaming and stuff. I just want to know how to make a basic line in jogl. I followed a tut, and i cud draw and stuff with an old version of jogl, but after realizing that it was outdated i got the new version (jsr 231 was it?) After changing everything that was needed (all the weird stuff, like new ways to make GlCanvas and such), it finally compiled, but no line was drawn. Can someone tell me how to draw a line? (like what shud i put in the init method? i think that has something to do with it). or does anyone know of a good jogl tutorial (maybe pertaining to gaming?)

Syncing Help needed!

My father was trying to download music on my ipad2. He hooked it to his computer and hit restore. I now have all his info and mine is gone and none of the Apps will open. The iCloud looks like it is still set to me. Any advice?

Don't sync with another computer except your own.
Do you sync with iTunes on your computer? Do you have a backup in iTunes. You can check to see if you do. Launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and you can see all of your backups.
If you have a recent backup - you can restore your iPad from a backup and then sync with iTunes to restore all of your own content.
Turn off auto sync first. Launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and check the box at the bottom that says prevent iPods .... from syncing automatically.
The click OK and quit iTunes.
Now connect your iPad to your computer and launch iTunes - right click on the iPad name on the left side under devices and select - Restore from Backup. Choose the backup from the popup window and restore. After that completes - sync with iTunes to restore all of your own content to the iPad. iTunes will tell you that it is going to erase the content on the device - but that is what you want anyway - you want your own content back again.
If you do not sync with iTunes and you are using iCloud for backups and content storage - read this.

ITunes/iPod sync help needed!

So I have a 2nd gen iPod touch, and I buy all my music straight off of iTunes app. My old Mac computer (Let's call it Mac1) had all of my songs that I had bought on there prior to when we replaced it (may 2011). Then, we got Mac2. I can't put my songs that I bought after May 2011 onto Mac2, because it will only let me delete my ENTIRE library on my iPod (which has all of my purchased music on it). I don't want to lose those songs that I spent my money on. How do I make my iPod sync to a new computer and get the iPod's songs onto the computer?

Just transfer the iTunes purchases to the new computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
You may also be able to redownload the music( and apps) by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Major Jtable help needed

Hello all,
i am trying to extend the JTable class to create a table in which i can enter numbers. I would also like to channge the default renderer so i can change the colours of the cell lines. Aslo, i would like to add colum headers and row headers. I want the colum and row headers to be namesd after the dimensions passed to the new Table class. This may seem trivial to some, but i cant seem to get it going. I know i should have to extend the abstract table model, but i dont know what to put into it.
The only bit of code i have got going so far which definatly works in the class definition. I cant seem to find any good documentation about how to do the abogve...the sun tutorial only confuses me..could anyone please please help.
Thanks in advance, regards, Rupesh

IPhone 3G 8GB Crashes when syncing with iTunes. URGENT HELP NEEDED.

I have latest iTunes and OS on my iPhone 3G...
Every time i plug my iPhone in it begins to sync and then iTunes will freeze and not respond..
I have tried re installing iTunes.. I can't reset my iPhone as i can't create a backup..
URGENT HELP NEEDED PLEASE!

I don't have an iphone, but if it's anything like my click-wheel ipod, a reset doesn't delete anything.
It just resets the ipod's operating system, kind of like a PC restart. Did you try this Sleep/Wake button thing mentioned here?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1737
Maybe it's a podcast of voice memo causing the problem like it did for this person
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10907809#10907809
That's all I got. You might have better luck on an iPhone forum. Everyone there would probably have one. Like I said, I don't.
