Mobile User, only want to sync documents folder, nothing else

As the title suggests! I have a MB air and only want to sync my docs folder. In the WGM for mobile user I was there was just a simple set of buttons to allow common things! can anyone shed some light on what I need to add/subtract to get a perfect sync with only my docs
thanks

I'm relatively new to portable home directories, but if you let the user manage the preferences (i.e., leave WGM alone) when you login you should be able to select "Mobile Account Preferences" from the Home Sync icon on the toolbar (or System Preferences -> Accounts -> Mobile Account Settings) and then just change the options there to only sync Documents.

HT4915 How do you stop syncing address and calendar to iCloud? I only want to sync from my computer to iPhone.

How do you stop syncing address and calendar to iCloud? I only want to sync from my computer to iPhone. This is because I cannont upgrade to Lion and I do not want to get duplicate contacts when I sync from the computer 10.6.8 to my iPhone iOS5. You should not upgrade to Lion upless you have 4GB of ram. Lion does not support rosita so all your old programs will not funtion and you have to repurchase all old software the is working fine.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Settings > iCloud, turn off contact and calendar syncing.

If I only want to write documents and surf the web.

Do I have to buy any software if I only want to write documents and surf the web?

For surfing the web no. For writing documents you have a number of choices. Youu could buy microsoft word, it is very expesive but some do like it because it is the same as they have a t work. the second option and the one that I prefer is apple's Pages. It is available from the app store and is a very good full features program. The third and the free option is down load open office for mac, which is pretty much like microsoft wod.

HT201250 I backed up my iMac with a "WD My Passport" using the Time Machine option and tried to restore my iMac but it only saved my applications none of my documents, photos nothing else! What happened?

I backed up my iMac with a "WD My Passport" using the Time Machine option and tried to restore my iMac but it only saved my applications none of my documents, photos nothing else! What happened?

There should be two sparse bundles on the TC, one for each Mac. If you click the TC in a Finder sidebar, you should see something like this (in Column View):
If you see the sparse bundle for the iMac there, but not on the window where you do a full system restore (after starting from your Recovery HD or OSX Install disc), they may be corrupted (especially if your iMac was failing at the time of the last backup).
Try repairing those backups, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
Then try the full restore again, per Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #14. Note that if you suspect problems on the most recent backup, you might want to select an earlier one.

When I start iWeb only the Navi Bar appears but nothing else. What to do?

when I start iWeb only the Navigation Bar appears but nothing else and I can't use the program. I have the latest version and I use iLife11

Try the following:
close iWeb.
delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
launch iWeb and try again.
If that doesn't help continue with:
move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
launch iWeb and try again.
Lastly, select an album in iPhoto and use the Share ➙ iWeb ➙ Photo Page menu option. It might take a couple of tries.

Update on the Fafard class action lawsuit involving the cancelled Itunes gift cards here:
http://www.courthousenews.com/2014/04/22/67224.htm
Apparently, although complaint there suggested involved Best Buy only, it was the intermediary used by Apple that cancelled the cards not either Best Buy or Apple itself. Settlement would reinstate (make active) old gift cards.

When ever I right click on the menu item "open containing folder" in the downloads window, it only opens the 'My Documents' folder. It never goes any farther than that. How do I fix this?

Open 'Tools----downloads'.---Right click on any downloaded file that is available in the list.---click on 'Open Containing Folder'
Results in opening the My documents folder.
Not in the folder I have listed in Tools ---Options --- General---downloads---Save files to:

How to confirm the var/mobile/...../Document folder is in the archive package

I'm a newbie, so I'm not sure I am saying this correctly, so bear with me. I recently uploaded my app to itunes Connect and was "Ready for sale" a few days ago. When it appeared in the App Store I purchased it to see how it looks. I noticed that the information contained in my database, that I didn't want updated appeared correctly. However, the information I wanted updated did not appear. I suspect that maybe I didn't archive the var/mobile/....../Documents folder. How can I verify that I did? and if I did why didn't it appear? Thanks in advance for any help or insight you can share.

The problem is the Questions are not showing up in the view of the copy I sent to iTunes Connect that was sent to the App Store..
The following is the source code from the viewcontroller.m to display the question. The app works fine in xcode 4, iPhone 6.1 Simulator, my iPhone device, and iPad 6.1 Simulator. It also works on a remote iPhone device.

I only want to sync my iphone contacts with my pc, not the other way around

HELP!! This thing is driving me crazy! I dont want to sync everything from the pc to the iphone, just what I have on the iphone to the pc to make those contacts and calendar entries safe in case the dreaded happens.
Is there a way to do this? I have begun my 60day free trial of MoblieMe today and cannot seem to do this at all. I have found my Windows Contacts and I think I can enter people in there, but whats the point of that if I have to do all the work? Surely the point of syncing is that it will do it for me???
Does anyone know if it can be done from iphone to pc??
Many thanks
Catherine

The sync process for contact info and calendar events is a bidirectional or true sync process. You can't transfer only contact info and calendar events available on your iPhone only to the supported application on your computer. Contact info and calendar events available in the supported address book and calendar app on your computer and contact info and calendar events available on your iPhone will be synced so the info available on both is identical.
If you have a MM account, you need to sync the supported address book on your computer with your MM online address book first. After confirming your MM online address book matches the supported address book on your computer, follow this by enabling over the air syncing for contact info with your MM account on your iPhone. This will erase all existing contact info on your iPhone and replace it with your MM online address book info, and the same for calendar events.
If you have contact info available on your iPhone that is not available with the supported address book on your computer, you need to sync your iPhone's address book with the supported address book on your computer via the iTunes sync process first. Follow this by syncing the supported address book on your computer with your MM online address book. After confirming the supported address book on your computer matches your MM online address book, enable over the air syncing for contact info with your MM account on your iPhone. After this, your iPhone's address book will be kept synchronized with your MM online address book which is kept synchronized with the supported address book on your computer and vice-versa.

Only want to sync specific contacts on Motorola V551

I have a Motorola V551. Since it's navigation blows I don't want to have to scroll through all my contacts. So, I want to sync to a specific "Group" in my addressbook.
I have set that option in my preferences (Synchronize -> Group Name), but when I sync my phone, all my contacts are sync'd, not just that group.
I have tried resetting the phone and syncing, but it does the same thing.
Help.

this fixed my problem
Thank you

Characteristic - length of six - but user only wants to see first 2

Hello,
I have a request from a user who has a report that displays a characteristic. The infoobject is defined as lenght of 6.
However, they would like to have only the first 2 characters displayed.
One workaround would be to define a secondary infoobject on backend and move as well to that field but I would like to know if there is any way in BEX that the report can "trim" the charactersitic on the fly.
On backend, we can use formula in transformation to trim the field too but I am not aware of any functionality on the front end that will allow this at the time of the report.
Is there anything in bex that would allow you to display AB instead of all ABCDEF.
thanks,
Lynda

Hi yes,
Short, medium and long text are loaded.
This user is also a business objects report developer. He wants to know if we can do the trimming in front end during query - leaving the 6 character field alone.
Your idea of text loading would be good.
He thinks that since BO can do it - bex should be able to do it without having to make any backend changes.
I currently do not see how to do this like he can do in Business Objects.
Thanks,
Lynda

ITunes 9 only wants to sync photos ( huh? )

It looks like the new iTunes actually downgraded us AppleTV users, otherwise it's broke.
After setting up the ATV again to sync to iTunes the only tab available to manage syncing is "Photos". Then on my ATV it shows "shared [videos]" below "my [videos]" so all my available media is accessible through streaming but there's no controls for syncing to the ATV in anyway but photos.
Very strange.

You'd be surprised at the number of issues that relate apparently to software updates, fortunately most are likely the result of the updated software finding issues with a not so well maintained system or incompatibilities with 3rd party software.
Personally I'm not convinced that Chenks didn't have the correct solution for the OP, the symptoms sound very much like the wrong type of library is in use.
