Possible to sync (or download) Flickr tags to iPhoto
All of my photos on Flickr are tagged; is there anyway to automatically get those tags to appear with the same pictures in iPhoto?
Thanks!
Only if Flickr writes those tags to the files before downloading. Someone may have an Applescript to read those tags from the site and write them to the file but it's a long shot. You might ask Flickr the same question.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Dear Apple, why is not possible in the year 2014...sync to my iPhone just content I want to separety, without the whole sync procedur(backinup,syncing whole purchased things and stuff like that) When I want to have in my phone for example just 3 new songs ..I dont wanna wait 10minutes because of whole synchronization!!! I want add to my iPhone just these 3 songs thats it! Would be perfect, If you will make possible to sync just parts like MUSIC, Apps, Fotos, separetly and not alltime together...it s****!
Ok.
I have Windows OS and iTunes for PC, but the problem is not in my PC, but in synchronization. Your synchronization take minute or two, you have thunderbolt lightning cable??? If is it by you really so quick than ok but by me is it with sync really slow and I have still powerhouse notebook.
I dont know how is it possible that your sync is so quick, but my iPhone starts transfering purchased aplications and all content to the PC, instead of downloading it PC itself without iPhone from iStore. So there is what happend when I am conecting my iPhone.
When it find my iPhone on the first try, it starts makeing backup, than transfering photos, aplication, some info from Safari and to the end also the MUSIC...this should be improved by Apple and it should be able to sync just MUSIC section and not whole system, when I changed just something in MUSIC section(like adding new CD..)
So it does on PC whole resync Maybe is it somewhere in options, but where? I really want sync sometimes just MUSIC or just Apps and nothing else(like Photos, Bookmarks...)
I am sorry for that angry tone, but I am really stresedby this 20minutes sync or 10 miutes...just becouse of adding 1-2 songs, this is by competition phones quicklier :/ !

Possible to sync E71 with Mac?
Hi
I just started using an Apple MacBook, and I was wondering, if it is possible to sync my E71 to the calendar and contact functions in my Mac as I use to do with my old PC via PC suite.
Also, if it is possible - should I use the Entourage program (part of the Microsoft Office package) or the address book / calendar function within the Mac?
Kind regards
lnormannYes you can
I have synced my E71 with a iMac desktop OS 10.5.8 Leopard using iSync via Bluetooth, integrates seamlessly with iCal and Contacts.
You may need to download the iSync extension on the Nokia website.
Hope this helps

was wondering if it is possible to sync the folders in mac mail on my imac to my mac book pro rather than recreating them
There are two standard protocols for receiving email, POP and IMAP. In the POP (Post Office Protocol) when messages are "read" by your email client (Mail) they are downloaded and stored on the reading computer and deleted from the POP server. When you are using IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) the messages remain on the IMAP server until they are deleted. IMAP was created for exactly the situation you are trying to achieve. For example Apple's iCloud (formerly me.com, formerly mac.com) uses IMAP protocol. So whether I access my email on my Mac, my iPhone, my iPad, or via webmail I have access to all the files in all the various mailboxes automatically because they are all seeing and using the same online mailboxes. If I delete a message on any of the varioius devices it is deleted on all of the various devices.
Whether you can use IMAP protocol or not depends on your email host and whether they have an IMAP server or not. Many ISPs do not offer IMAP because they do not want to bear the expense of the additional disk space required to store the IMAP messages. As I mentioned before Apple's free email service is by default IMAP. Google Mail offers a somewhat non-standard IMAP service. It works with Apple's email client, Mail, but it is just a bit "different".
Personally I resisted using IMAP for years. Largely because I had always used POP and was comfortable with it. Once I got an iPhone and needed to synch my email between my computer and iPhone I realized IMAP was "the only way to go." -
HT1766 iPhone 4s; Is it possible to sync apps to icloud without using the touchscreen?
I've been using my iphone 4S with a cracked screen for over three months now (it fell on a tile floor hitting the top front corner first, 5 weeks after I got it) without any issues. Tonight I dropped it from a height of about 8 inches and the part of the face that was cracked made first contact with something that was on a table I was standing at, jamming it further into the phone. When I picked it up I noticed a small piece had also fallen out near an intersection of the cracks. The touchscreen is now completely black.
My question: Is it possible to sync my apps to the icloud without using the iphone touchscreen? I plan I getting a new phone and had my icloud setup to sync my mail, contacts and calendars. I've been able to download all my pictures and video to my computer.Getting/reinstalling the apps isn't a problem. I'm only concerned with the data that is stored within them. For instance I have a mileage tracker I've been using but haven't uploaded the data from the phone to back it up anywhere. I'd like to do that before getting a new phone but I can't see what i'm doing due to the screen not working.
The phone is actually still working and I've been able to use Siri to make calls and send texts without a working screen. The screen still accepts inputs apparently so if I could return settings to factory settings I could theoretically use another phone side by side to show me exactly where I need to touch and when to back up my applications to iClould.
Going forward, I actually had ordered another case before my accident as my current case doesn't provide enough protection. It'd be nice if Apple actually made an iphone that didn't need such band-aids for normal usage. -
Is it possible to sync, combine and share iTunes (specifically purchases,songs,playlists) with 2 computers having their own apple id?
I have been trying to find the answer to this for awhile now.No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that. -
How do I stop Firefox from syncing my Downloads list from my other devices?
Like many users I use Firefox Sync to synchronize my bookmarks and addons and a few other things across multiple devices, but lately I've noticed that it is syncing my download history as well, which really makes no sense to do since the file paths are going to be invalid on any but the original device the files were downloaded on. What I'd like to know is if there is a way to turn off only the download history sync but keep the rest of the sync features active? If it matters at all, I use Firefox on one other Linux system besides the one I'm writing this on and on a Windows 7 system as well, with all 3 computers using the same Firefox Sync account to sync everything. I had to remove the Troubleshooting Information in order to be able to post this since with it included the post had 43,234 characters (site won't let me post with more than 30,000). If it's vital to have that information I can try to figure out a way to post it maybe to a pastebin site of some sort.
Thanks for replying cor-el but I'd really prefer to leave the syncing of the other history items enabled, there's actually at least somewhat of a valid reason to have them still enabled and available when accessing firefox on a secondary device, not necessarily true of the Download history though really for the very reason I already stated regarding the file path validity issue. This is one item where I think we really should have at the very least an about:config entry to toggle syncing for the particular item. If not actually a sub-section under the checkbox that lets us choose to enable history syncing that would give us the option to enable/disable syncing of specific types of history data.

Every time I plug my iphone into my MacBook, it refuses to sync and download photos etc. This has been happening for a month. I tried to upgrade itunes yesterday and ended up in a mess. It wouldn't stay connected to internet, then the iphone was left with a screen with the 'itunes icon of 2 notes in a blue circle, then under it the white connection lead". Each time I plugged it back in to my lap top, it refused internet access. A friend "restored" my iphone from scratch today and I have lost all my contacts. My photos are still there which is amazing. I now am trying to download my precious photos so I dont loose them again. It still refuses to sync and only offers me "quit" as an option. My phone in 3G and I have a MacBook lap top. Any help very much appreciated. I rang the apple help line but I dodn't really understand what he told me. I am almost computer illiterate (too old to understand all this technology). Thank you.
When was the last time you did an update on your iphone? That might be the problem. BTW which OS are you running on your MacBook?

I need help trying to download music to three different devices. iPod5, 2iPhone 4s, one of which is the main name on account. However when I go to plug one of the 4s' in the computer, it starts to sync to my own "named" device, my itunes acct.(needless to say, I don't have any music on the one iphone.) How can I prevent syncing my daughters' ipod, iPhone to my name. They have their own accounts/emails, but we have one computer. Can someone walk me through having each of our own syncing and downloading of songs/cd's? Also, I assume you can only have one iTunes account on one computer, is that correct?
Well not exactly. We've had the same computer for a long time. It started with two ipod 3's. We tried to add a third ipod3 and for some reason were not successful. (it never recognized one of these ipods). Okay, since then we've had an ipod4gen, ( I think I have generations right, not that it matters) anyway, I see in my itunes, that there are three "list" names. However, we now have new devices, an ipod5th gen, and two iphone4s. We don't sync them hardly ever, just plug them into wall for charging. Okay, my daughter(w/ iphone4s) wants music downloaded on hers, and yes as you have already read, when I plug it in it says it's syncing to my iphone. I don't want to mess hers up. So you are saying try to log out of my acct. and log in using her password? I get that part. However at this time I don't have her phone to try this. But like I said, I believe I tried doing that and it still said syncing to my account. So I "pulled the plug". We need three different accounts so they/we can plug in with no hassle from eachothers accounts. This may be a simple fix, but I am not "computer savvy" with this stuff.LOL! Thank you for your help, I truly appreciate your input on this matter!:) (I'll have to try this on hers later today, as far as logging in and out of corrrect itunes accts.).

Is it possible to Sync an iPod (or iPhone) with a Shared Library?
I know this is a silly, basic question, but 6:30 AM is just too early for me to keep digging for the answer.
So, I have several computers at home. ONE of them is used to purchase and store all of my iTunes music. This same computer is used to sync several iPods. The entire library on this computer is shared. Two other computers in the house are Authorized on the same account and regularly play music stored on the "first" computer.
So here's the rub.
My duaghter just got a new iPhone. She has her own MAC. I'd like her to begin using her own computer to sync her iPod and iPhone.
Is it possible to sync her iPod and iPhone using HER computer (that is authorized on my account) and MY shared library?I don't think it is possible to sync an ipod to a shared library for copyright reasons. Sharing is great and simple for accessing and listening to other computer's music over a network, but to sync your ipod - I believe can only be done from that particular itune's music library. But here's how I work around this so that I don't have to have my 90 GB Music Folder copied on multiple computers:
Copy these files from your main computer (the one that has and controls your master itunes library) into the same location on any other computer on your network (say your daughter's computer): user/music/itunes/iTunes Music Library.xml & iTunes Library. Before copying them over to daughter's computer, remove the old files (maybe keep somewhere else just in case) and have itunes shut down. Then start up itunes on your daughter's computer and it should look identical to the main computer's itunes (and the same as the shared library). What you've esentially done is created a separate itunes library data base that can be managed on your daughter's computer but one that accesses the same actual music files that are on the main computer's Music Folder. To check go to Preferences/Advanced and you'll see that the Music Folder location is pointing to the same file as on the main computer (whose Music Folder is now being used as a sort of network music despository). You'll notice that when your daughter's computer starts itunes and plays a song, the main computer's hard drive where the Music Folder is stored will mount on her computer. So the main computer obviously has to be turned on, or more accurately, the location of the Music Folder (could be on an external hard drive) must be accessible over the network. Your duaghter can now create her own spearate playlists and sync her ipod to her own library which is accessing the same song files (Music Folder) as the main computer. And both of you can be playing from itunes at the same time independantly.
Here's the tricky part that takes some coordintation: Since you'll both be accessing and adding to the same huge Music Folder, you'll need to coordinate with eachother if you want to be able to have each computer's itunes database "see" any music that the other person has added or purchased. For purchasing or adding music to the music folder, both of you should have in Preferences/Advanced the "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to Library" selection checked when purchasing music or adding music via burning. If your daughter, for example, buys an album and has this preference selected, then it will go to the Music Folder and she will have access to it. But the other computer doesn't know that this was added to the music folder and it won't show up in that computer's itunes. For itunes to knwo a song is in it's Music Library it has to add it to it. SO, from this other computer, go to File/Add to Library and navigate to the location within the Music Folder and then select the newly purchased album and it will now show up in this itunes as well - BUT before you do this you should UNcheck the "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to Library" preference so that the album is not duplicated in the Music Folder. Then if this computer wants to purchase an album, you need to have this checked again. Basically if your doing the original adding you have to have the "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to Library" checked. If your simply letting your itunes know that something was added then have the "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to Library" unchecked before you add it to your library. And if someone creates a playlist that the other wants, you can still share eachother's libraries (even though your accessing the same Music Folder) or even export the playlist and import it into the other computer.
Sounds tricky but it's actually pretty easy and allows each person to sort of control his/her itunes and sync their own ipods/iphones all from the same Music Folder. -
Is it possible to sync two different iphones and an ipad on only one computer?
Is it possible to sync two different iphones and an ipad on only one computer??
My husband has an iphone 4 & ipad. I have an iphone 4S. We both use the same itunes account. We are having trouble w/ all of our contacts/calendars & info getting all mixed up. We want to both use the same itunes account & apple id so that we dont have to separatley repurchase everything. Can anyone help us w/ this issue? Are we obligated to buy another computer so that we each have one--or is there some way around it? Thanks!!http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495

Is there any way to Sync contacts from Outlook for Mac to iPhone 5? Apple support says that only iTune can only sync contacts from "Contact" which is the default contact of Mac. If one is running Outllok on a Mac machine then it is not possible to sync the contacts with iPhone. It is strange that Apple distributors are promoting and offering machines with promise that Windows users can now run MS Office on Mac machines without any problem. While this is true, it is so strange that one cannot sync the contacts from MacBook Pro to iPhone5. If someone has found a way to sync contacts from Outlook to iPhone 5 please help as it is very frustrating to not be able to sync the contacts. Thanks, Amit.
