Must be a way around this?
Deleted photo's from my laptop seen as they are on the phone now...how do I keep them on it when I sync it, now that they are no longer on the computer? It seems to start all over again, deleting the photo's and only giving the option to add the photo folder. There must be a way around this?
I transfer them to iTunes, delete them off the comp. When I go to add other NEW photo's, it needs to sync but seen as the old photo's already on the phone are no longer on the computer it updates the phone = no photo's cos the computer doesn't have them. But surely you don't have to keep AAAAALL the photo's on your computer to have them on the phone as well?
I unfortunately find myself in a similar situation as well. About a week ago my HP Windows laptop crashed (I know, I know...) and I am unable to boot it or anything. My iphone was synced to this computer and I still have all my synced photos on the iphone. I completely understand that the iphone is a mirror device and not a storage device but I have painted myself into a corner.
I have 2 folders on the iphone photo app, one is for photos I have taken with the iphone camera and the other is 2,500 photos from when I visited Japan that I synced to the iphone from the laptop.
When I hook my iphone up to another computer it only recognizes the main photo folder.
So is there any way I can get these synced photos off my iphone?
or have I suffered the wrath of owning a windows machine?

For years I was happily plugging in my Palm Treo Pro, and having my contacts and calendar synch with my PC, WITHOUT the need for that information to be stored on the cloud, where anyone could get at it. When that died recently, I bought a used Windows 7
phone.
So far, it sucks. And it's not the phone that's the problem.
My main issue is that I have diligently exported my (over 5000) contacts from Outlook as a CSV file, and went to import them into Windows Live, only to discover that there's a 500KB limit. That's somewhere around 500 contacts.
ARE YOU SERIOUS?!? You really need me to set up 10 different files, to import stuff onto the cloud?
Please tell me there is a way around this limit, or (better yet) a way to synch directly with my PC, so I can avoid this whole Windows Live disaster?? I want to use Outlook. It's a Microsoft product!
Please help!
DebHi,
I'm not sure about the Microsoft Account Contact limit, for this issue, you may post the question to Microsoft Community:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com
If you still have the contacts in your Outlook Client, I suggest you setup the Microsoft Account(Windows Live) in Outlook via Exchange ActiveSync, then move the contacts to the contacts folder of the Microsoft Account, let it sync, then all will be done,
you don't have to export and import the .csv file any more.

After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!
iTunes is a mess! It couldn't find it's own libraries and I was forced to create a new one. Now I don't know where my music is or if any's missing.columbus new boy wrote:
How crap is that?
It's not crap at all.
It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
There has to be a solution.
Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
and maintain a current backup of your computer. -
I rented a movie through itunes on my ipad and wanted to watch it with friends on a digital projector, but it wouldn't allow me to do it. Is there any way around this?
The issue was that a dialogue box came up which said that I couldn't play this movie on another device. I tried playing the same movie on an Tv with an HDMI connection attached to an adapter to the IPad and that worked. I wonder if the problem is that the digital projector has a VGA connection.

I am trying to install my CS4 Suite onto new PC with Windows 8. It installed Photoshop but nothing else. It is asking me to "Install with 'setup.exe'" Which i dont think is on there. Is there a way around this? Thanks in advance.
Run the cleaner tool and reinstall with sufficient user privileges and security stuff turned off. Your install went wrong because you didn't consider this.

Help! For some reason i-tunes 12 wont allow users to re-download past purchases all at once like it used to. Is there a way around this? It will only allow you to download what it calls "Recent Purchases" which in my case only would allow 250 items. I know i have at least 700 tracks if not substantially more possibly over 2000 tracks but I can't be sure. I don't know how to find that information, I've looked in itunes under the my account past purchases but id doesn't tell you how many total songs you have purchased or any relevant details. It only shows you small chunks of receipts by date but no total tracks purchased in an easy to view snapshot that I could find. The current support page says that if you have more then 2000 songs the "ALL SONGS" tab now listed above the left pan with all your purchased artists, will change to "Recent Purchases". IF apple changed this on purpose to stop user from downloading there entire library to cut down on bandwidth they have really upset me this time. At present the only way I can download all past purchases is by selecting each artist listed in the left pan one by one selecting the "Download ALL" button at the bottom right corner of the page at which point I have to input my apple password each time, which really slows things down. I have hundreds of artists and if this is the only way for customers to re-download there entire library this is ridiculous and really unnecessary to put customers through this kind hassle just to re-download all there past purchases when the whole idea of i-cloud is to make downloading and using your music simple, quick, and convenient on multiple devices. I know the old saying "your responsible for backing up your data" yeah I know that and I've been doing that for years when no one really should ever have had too. There is no reason a service that sells music digitally should not allow customers to be able to re download content purchased on there service regardless of the fact that people should just back up anyway as an extra precaution. Well sometimes backups fail like in my case and I have to re-download. No wonder paid subscription plans are so popular. You don't have to deal with any of these issues. I can only hope this is some kind of oversight by apple and will be fixed soon. Can anyone offer a quicker solution or any information about this issue? I would greatly appreciate any helpful assistance.
Again this is for Windwos 8.1 x64 with Itunes 12.0.1.26After spending way too much time dealing with this issue myself, I discovered that you can:
- Within "My Music", select all the songs you need to download (all w/ the cloud icon - use Shift-Click)
- Right click and select download
All songs will begin downloading from iCloud -
I have 5 computers authorized on my account and I would like to deauthorize all of them. When I try it tells me I cannot do so until January 2016. Is there a way around this? I no longer have access to the computers that are authorized.
Did you recently deauthorize a bunch of computers? You can only deauthorize all once year.

I bought a Christmas video on my Apple TV in my bedroom for my kids to watch. I tried to download it to our computer in the living room, but I got a terribly inconvenient message that says I have to wait 30 days before downloading it, because my husband downloaded something with his account-REALLY?!
Is there a way around this?
30 days from now, my kids won't be as interested in The Grinch who stole Christmas.
Is the only way around this to buy it twice? Or buy through Amazon Instant Play?
There has to be a way around this- it seems so silly- why would I buy another video through Itunes, if it's better to buy on a disc, so that I can watch it in multiple rooms?
Message reads exactly "You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. This computer can be used with a different Apple ID in 30 days."
Please tell me I am doing something wrong, and that it is possible for my kids to watch the video I purchsed in our bedroom and also in the living room if they prefer. Thanks!You can try contacting itunes store support to have it reset. It's not gauranteed though because account association through computers and devices can only be switched every 90 days.

My folders that my message rules on iCloud divert emails to don't update when I open Mail on my iPad or iPhone. Only the inbox does. I have to click on each folder individually for it to update. A real pain as I have about 30 folders. Is there a way around this ? The folders update on my mac fine when i check mail without having to select each one of them. Can the iPad and iPhone do the same thing?
My Mac has 4 mail accounts coming into it, but you are correct, one of them is a POP account, (and unfortunately it is the main @ account, and is the one associated with my apple id, since we've had it for years). I couldn't figure out how to replace this with the Imap version, short of deleting that account entirely.
Is this what I have to do?
Thanks for your help! -
I bought a used iPod touch and when I try to set up my iCloud account, it says that the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this device. Is there a way around this? I thought I could maybe set up the account on my PC and go from there, but it won't let me do that. It is forcing me to set up on the iPod. Am I doomed to have no iCloud account because I opted for a used device?

I have a lot of music on my ipod from CD's I own. I want this music on my new iphone 4s. Because music was not purchased via itunes, it will not allow me to transfer the music. Is there a way around this?
You can transfer music imported from cd's to your iphone. This has never been a restriction.
You are having a problem in your individual case.
Have you tried basics fro the manual? restart, reset, restore.
