Photostream duplicates on Aperture from two iOS devices

I recently have Mountain Lion and set up my iCloud account with Photostream. I have an iPhone4 and iPad2 already set up and it worked like a charm. now i set up Aperture with Photostream, it now starts to collect photostream from both devices and now i have 2 copies of each photo. Is there a way to just have one copy of the photo synched into aperture?
to make it clearer: what happened is, photos i've taken with my iphone are synched to my ipad via Photostream. so both photostreams have basically the same set of photos. Then when i synched into aperture, both of the photostream albums were synched there, now i have duplicate photos (waste of storage space)... Help!

Never mind. After another hour of reading 50 more entries, I found this, and it solved my issues.

Re: iCal EVENTS DUPLICATE and can't delete them May 19, 2010 8:57 AM (in response to rockydog)
I had the same problem (running snow leopard 10.6.3 on Macbook Air). Events i created on non-shared, non-synced calendars could not be deleted or if they could they'd pop up again in seconds. And send me email reminders every 10 mins. VERY ANNOYING.
Tried many things but what finally worked for me is:
Open isync.
go to prefs.
uncheck "Enable syncing on this computer" (it may take a while for this to go from grey to black and let you uncheck it)
click "reset sync history"
go to ical. delete events.
click "reset sync history" again.
RESTART. This is the part that made the whole thing stick.
good luck

Two iOS devices and a Snow Leopard Mac: trying to sync photos

My wife’s tech support group, that would be me , is failing in attempts to find an easy way to sync her photos between iPhoto on her Snow Leopard Mac and her two iOS 5 devices using iCloud.
The bottom line is how best to manage photos during a time all devices are not on iCloud.
Two problems:
1. She now has the two iOS devices reporting different numbers of pictures and slightly different albums. Shouldn't they be exactly the same?
2. Is it better to have her sync her Snow Leopard Mac to the iOS devices using iTunes or iPhoto.
Any basic tips appreciated. Including if this is not the correct Community for this post.
Thank you.

You are in the correct community for posting this question. Most people would never even think to ask. That's very thoughtful of you. Anyway .... to the point about syncing photos.
I do not use Photo Stream and use iCloud for very little as well. I still sync with iTunes because that works for me and I am used to doing it that way. I am running Lion on my MacBook so I have everything I need for iCloud, but .... This is how I do it.
Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
Select iPhoto as the folder from which you want to sync.
Click on all of the albums, events, faces, that you want to sync.
Make sure that the Sync Photos heading is checked/selected.
Click on Apply or Sync in the lower right corner of iTunes

Outlook contacts duplicate on iPhone and all iOS devices

Hello,
I have been having this issue for quite some time and I have not been able to find anything that would solve my problem besides deleting the contacts manually.
So here is the deal:
In our business environment we use all kinds of iOS devices (mostly iPads and iPhones). So what happens is (at least in my opinion) outlook somehow duplicates the contacts and since we have the outlook contacts to sync on the phones and ipads, they also duplicate on the user's devices. This issue happens about every 2-3 months. When I go in and delete the contacts manually from Outlook, the contacts from the iOS devices sync with the Outlook contacts and the duplicates disappear, but sometimes I have to go in and manually delete them from the devices as well. It is really frustrating for the users because this issue happens often as I said.
The issue happens on iOS 6, iOS 7 and on iPhone: 4,4S, 5, 5S, iPad: 2, 3
What I've tried:
1. I deleted all the contacts manually and made sure they sync with the Outlook contacts. - WORKS TEMPORARILY
2. I turned off iCloud so that the contacts don't replicate among other devices using the same Apple ID - DOES NOT WORK
3. I deleted the duplicates and told the phone to sync less often not as soon as there is a change - WORKS BUT AFTER TIME STILL DUPLICATES
4. I contacted Microsoft for help with the issue and they told me that the issue is probably an iOS issue. - NOT REALLY SURE
Any help would be a appreciated it. I want to solve this issue once and for all.

After getting your Address Book contacts restored on your Mac, the Address Book application includes a simple backup feature.
At the menu bar, go to File and select Back Up Address Book.
The default name for the backup file will be Address Book - (and the date).
Store this file in a safe location - preferably on an external drive used for backup purposes only.
If you ever need to recover all Address Book contacts from the most recent backup file, at the Address Book menu bar go to File and select Revert to Address Book Backup selecting the Address Book backup file.
iCal includes the very same simple/easy backup feature.
Before using a sync type function with any device, creating a backup of the data to be synced is a good idea and should be your very first step. The same before making a number of changes, additions, deletions to the Address Book data. This shouldn't happen so something is wrong but it can happen which is one of the reasons for maintaining a regular backup of all important information.

Why am I missing music when I view shared libraries from my iOS device? Content is in tact on windows PC andbonapplevTV but not in iPad or iPhone shared libraries...

Running latest iTunes 11.something on Windows 7. Music is located on a network drive. All music is accessible through iTunes on my PC and on Apple TV but when I switch to shared libraries on iPad or iPhone, only music that exists in iTunes playlists appear. Im sharing all of my music but it doesn't seem to be working. Can somebody help?

You can only add music to iTunes Match from your iTunes library on your computer, not from your iOS device. If you have music on your iPad that is not on your computer, you'll have to import it to your iTunes library on your computer to add it to iTunes Match.
Music purchased from the iTunes store can be imported directly to your iTunes library by authorizing your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music (in Store>Authorize This Computer), then connecting the iPad to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. Music from other sources will require using 3rd party software to transfer to your computer, such as Touch Copy.

My messages are not going through or coming in from other iOS devices. Having to send and receive in SMS. What is up? Anyone else having these issues?

There's an article that Apple has acknowledged this issue. They recommend turning off imessages, reset all settings and then reactivate imessages.
If that doesn't work, you may just have to wait until they release an update, which should be pretty soon.

To print from your PC, please check out the following iFelix article.
To print from an iOS device (iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad), the printer must be AirPrint-ready. If the printer is not, another option would be to use something like.

HT204291 Is the Apple TV (Gen 1) no longer supporting Airplay from an IOS device (iPhone 4S)?

Is the Apple TV (Gen 1) no longer supporting Airplay from an IOS device (iPhone 4S)?

It's actually iOS - I used to be able to use audio Airtunes on the original iPhone, but the AppleTV doesnot list on most of my newer devices in the Apple iPod/Music app.
Apple have deliberately omitted it for some reason while still supporting old Airport Express units.
The only workaround is to use Apple's Remote app to control iTunes on a computer and use the Speaker option there.

TS1702 This app will not be deleted from any iOS device that synchronizes with your iTunes library.

How do you remove an app from your iPad? I have synced the iPad and attempted to remove and this is the messgae I receive:
This app will not be deleted from any iOS device that synchronizes with your iTunes library.
HELP! Get rid of these Doodle Gods, Kick the Buddy, etc....

As Jim states, that procedure deletes the app and its associated documents from the device itself. At next sync, the deletion should propagate and get rid of the backup on iTunes as well.
If not, you can also manually delete that backup. Go into iTunes on the computer you sync the iPad with. If needed, select Show Sidebar in the View menu. Choose Apps under Library in the sidebar. Click on the All tab in the middle of the window. Scroll about till you locate the offending app amongst the bunch of icons. Right-click or Control-click on it and choose Delete from the popup menu. If the app is gone already on the device, there should be no warnings. You should delete from the device first and sync, so this manual step becomes unnecessary.

Is it possible to control a Mac directly from an iOS device without being connected to a WiFi network, i.e. an airport or similar.

I would like to control my MacMini (Late 2012) 2.3GHz Intel Quad Core i7 processor directly from my iOS device, either my iPhone 6 or my iPad G3. By directly I mean without having a wireless or wired network in place.
I know there are a number of iOS apps that utilize VNC technology but I believe they all require the Mac to be connected via WiFi to an Airport or similar wireless networking device. I would like to control my MacMini remotely without having it already connected to a WiFi network and wondered is it possible? The iOS device and Mac would be in close proximity to one another.
Has anyone had any experience with this? Thanks.

Guys, thanks but I did not mean to control it by infrared. I know only too well that iOS devices do not have that capability. However they and the Mac both can send and receive WiFi signals so is there any reason they can't talk to each other directly.
When I am in my home I have an airport but I would like to take the Mac Mini out on music gigs with my Apollo interface which serves as my mic preamp and mixer as it does in my studio but the Apollo needs to be connected to the mac via thunderbolt to download the plugin software that provides reverb and eq, etc. I would like to do this without the need of a monitor and keyboard, hence my dilemma. The only thing I basically need to do is start the mini and the rest happens automatically but I need to also shut down (which I know can be accomplished a couple of ways) but with out having a visual interface you can't make any changes or verify what setting are being used.

Can I remove a Photo Stream from my iOS device and keep it on my iMac?

Is there a way to save a Photo Stream on your computer (comments and all) and remove it from your iOS devices? Going back to read the comments from time to time is nice, but don't want to have a list of Photo Streams as long as my arm on my iPhone and iPad.

If you're referring to Shared Photos Streams the answer would be no. If you're the owner of the stream and all you devices are logged into the same Apple ID if you delete the photos in a shared stream on one device they get deleted on all devices.

Can I restore my iTunes library file (iTunes Library.itl) from my iOS device?

After upgrading iTunes to 12.1.1.4 (around 2/25/2015), my library has reverted to a version from 12/28/2013.
None of the "Previous iTunes Libraries" or .tmp files are newer than the 12/28/2013 version.
All of the media files are perfectly fine and in their normal location.
Can I restore my "iTunes Library.itl" file from my iOS device?

I suspect you have been attempting to access the previous libraries in a way which always shows you the same content. See Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash for advice.
Otherwise see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. You can import any missing media from the media folder into the library. There are some scripts mentioned towards the end of the recovery tools section that can rebuild ratings, play counts and playlists.

IMovie 10.0.5: How to import an iMovie project from an iOS device

This description (iMovie '11: Import an iMovie project from an iOS device) seems no longer accurate because:
a) the command "Send project to iTunes" is NOT available in iMovie for iOS 2.0 (791)
b) editing an imported project in the iMovie theater in iMovie 10.0.5 seems NOT possible (at least I don't know how).
So how would I import an iMovie project from an iOS device (version 2.0 791) to iMovie on Mac (10.0.5)?
Thanks in advance!

I too are having difficulty trying to import a project from iMovie iOS (iPhone) to iMovie 10.0.5 on my mac mini.
I found how to export the file to iTunes. you simply share it and the send to iTunes option is in there. But when i try to open the files after i have transferred to my documents folder, they do not open or import. The file has a .iMoiveMobile file extension, which does not seem to be correct.
Can anyone help further ?
