Replacing Mac App Data w/ iPad App Data. Possible?
My question is simple...although I don't know if it's possible.
What I mean by this is my iPad is organized with 4 pages of my apps, in folders etc. I use my iPad every day, don't use my Mac as much.
What I'm getting at is that I don't sync my iPad with my Mac anymore because it wants to take those 4 pages I have and turn it into 12 pages and install random applications that I downloaded on my iPhone ages ago.
Basically i'm looking to do like the simple mobile me sync feature "REPLACE DATA ON X COMPUTER WITH THIS COMPUTER's DATA"
I don't want all the apps my iTunes library things I want, and when I un-check SYNC APPS in iTunes it just says "You'll erase all apps from your iPad"... not what I'm looking to do.
Thanks in advanced, hope I can get this rectified so I can start syncing movies back and forth.
iTunes on your Mac knows the difference between your iPhone and your iPad. You can configure it so that it will install only those apps that you want installed on each IOS device. In fact, I have some that don't load anywhere but I keep them on the Mac just in case I change my mind (it's easier than searching for them at the App Store).
Your iPad must be connected to your Mac in order to configure iTunes to load specific apps. Wait until it finishes the automatic syncing and then change your settings and force a manual sync. After that, the auto-sync will work just fine.

SendAndLoad fails in mac .app version - possible security setting problem?
Hi all,
I'm having trouble with sendAndLoad working on the .app version of a flash application I made. So far it's only happening on one computer, so it appears to be some sort of security setting. Here's what's going on:
I've built a flash application (Flash 9, AS2) that has three versions: an online version, a standalone .exe version for PC, and a standalone .app version for mac. The user must log in to use the application. Online, this is handled by the portal hosting the flash. In the standalone versions, the user must login through the flash application. Through sendAndLoad, it accesses the same database of user info as the online version. The user just enters username/password, clicks "Submit," and if it finds the combination in the database, it lets the user in. If not, it gives them a message saying they entered the wrong username/password.
This has tested fine across macs and pcs, but sadly one macbook can't use the .app version. It launches, they put in valid username/password, hit submit and it freezes. All I can tell is that it gets the httpStatus number 0. As you can see below, I've got it set up to spit out an error message if it fails to load (login_lv.onLoad = function(success)), but it doesn't even do that.
I've put a crossdomain.xml file at the root level of the domain that's set to allow access from any domain.
This computer can log in successfully to the online version of the course, but the .app version seems to be hampered by some sort of security setting. The problem computer's settings match the settings of a mac I've tested successfully. It has up-to-date Flash 10 and is running Leopard. Here are security settings:
System Preferences>Security
General
Everything is unchecked
FileVault
Turned off
Firewall
"Allow all incoming connections" is selected
I'd appreciate any ideas anyone has. I'm far from wise about the ins-and-outs of mac security, so I may be missing something. I'm happy to clarify anything.
Code is below. It loads login_lv first, then bookmark_lv. It never gets far enough to load bookmark_lv. The severAppUrl is set to a placeholder for confidentiality's sake. The path is defintely right. It works on other computers.
Thanks!

Pixelator or Adobe's Photoshop Mac App?
I am looking for a good photo editing program. I have read several reviews of both and they look good. However, Adobe is about 3 times the cost of Pixelator? Recommendations? Anyone used both? I am not a pro level editor, but I am not a newbie to photo editing either. I want a great feature set at a good cost. I'll pay the $79 for Adobe, but if Pixelator is pretty close, I'll save the $50 and buy other apps. Your feedback is greatly appreciated!
At their price points there is no confusion they can possibly approach the full version of Photoshop which I have on the PC side. However, Adobe still uses "photoshop" in their title, thus the use in my title. I'm using my Mac more now than I was before. As such, I'm not willing to give Adobe another wad of cash for a full version simply because I'm using a different computer and OS. I'm simply looking for someone that has used either of these Mac apps, or possibly both, that can give some feedback on which one they think works better before I purchase.

Old iPhone, new iTunes/Mac; App sync warning about losing all apps and data
I have an old iPhone with plenty of apps on it.
I have a new Mac/iTunes that I have setup and "successfully" synced with my phone.
However, on the Apps tab in iTunes (within my phone device section), the Sync Apps checkbox is not checked. If I check this box, I get a very disconcerting warning:
-- Are you sure you want to sync apps? All existing apps and their data on the iPhone "Some Guy's iPhone" will be replaced with apps from this iTunes library. --
My goal is to update iOS4.2, but I can't do that because it warns me there are things on my phone that aren't on iTunes. Yet Transfer Purchases isn't doing anything useful.
I have also Reset Warnings and reattached my phone to sync. Nothing new and exciting happened.
So, will I actually lose everything if I do the update? Will I ever be able to control my apps from iTunes (via Sync Apps)?
Does Apple realize how non-intuitive and difficult the whole iPhone-iTunes management thing is? This is so counter to their philosophy.Hello.
You need to transfer your iTunes library from your PC to your Mac per the instructions included with this link along with all other important data from your PC that you will need or want to access on your Mac such as photos, documents, etc.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
Transferring your iTunes library from your PC to your Mac following the instructions included with the link provided along with authorizing your Mac with your iTunes account with iTunes should prevent any iTunes content from being erased on your iPhone with the first sync with iTunes on your Mac. Since all iTunes content on your iPhone - all music, movies, tv shows, and 3rd party apps should be available in your iTunes library on your PC, transferring your iTunes library from your PC to your Mac will prevent any iTunes content from being erased on your iPhone.
The only data that is wiped on an iPhone when syncing an iPhone with an iTunes library on a new or different computer is iTunes content when not transferring your iTunes library from the existing computer used for syncing your iPhone with to the new or different computer per the instructions provided, and photos transferred from the existing computer. Photos on the existing computer should be transferred to the new or different computer along with your iTunes library and all other important data from the existing computer.
Photos in the Camera Roll are not included with the iTunes sync process or touched except for being included with the iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process.
Photos in the Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. When there are photos and/or video in the Camera Roll, the iPhone is also detected as a digital camera when connected to your computer. Importing photos from a digital camera is not handled by iTunes and the same for photos/videos in the iPhone's Camera Roll. With a Mac, you can use iPhoto for importing photos/videos from any digital camera or from a digital camera's storage card including from the iPhone's Camera Roll, or you can use the Image Capture application for this if you don't prefer using iPhoto for photo storage and management on your Mac. iPhoto will provide you the Events and Faces feature available on the iPhone and you can use iPhoto for setting a location for photos that were captured by a digital camera which does not include a location feature for the iPhoto locations feature.
Contacts and calendar events on your iPhone are not touched when syncing with iTunes unless you are syncing contacts and calendar events with a supported application on your computer. With a Mac, you can sync contacts with the Address Book and calendar events with iCal. Before syncing contacts with an empty Address Book and calendar events with an empty iCal, enter one contact in the Address Book and one calendar event in iCal before the first sync for this data. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select. Syncing contacts with the Address Book and calendars/calendar events with iCal is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your Mac.
If you don't have any music or movies in your iTunes library on your PC - all you have are 3rd party apps in your iTunes library on your PC, you can transfer all apps from your iPhone to iTunes on your Mac. First you need to authorize your Mac with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone. After confirming all 3rd party apps on your iPhone are in your iTunes library on your Mac, under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes select Sync Apps and make sure all apps currently installed on your iPhone are selected below. -

I am trying to access a numbers document in mycloud and it keeps saying I need a newer version. I purchased the upgraded app for my ipad and now I can't seem to upgrade my computer so that I can get access. I went to the app store but it won't let me download the newer version onto my computer? What is the point of putting things in the cloud if I can't access them?
JanNumbers documents from iOS need Numbers 3.2 on a Mac to open. And Numbers 3.2 requires Mavericks. If you are using Mavericks you can get Numbers 3.2 from the Mac App Store. It will be free IF you have Numbers 2 (iWork '09) installed. Otherwise you must buy it.
Your other option is to send the Numbers file as an Excel file via e-mail to yourself to open with an earlier version of Numbers. -
I bought The Djay app, for iPad, but I can't download it on the Mac App Store, whitout having to pay the 20$ why is that
Because the developer needs to create and maintain the two versions separately and has chosen to charge for the Mac OS X version.

I buy for mac app but not for the iPad, so how do I reinstall a program that has already purchased? I need help because I bought the imovie'11 but when he opened it only brought 8 movie trailer templates instead of the 15 it says on the program. How do I solve this problem? Once paid for a program incomplete. I also liked that the AppStore itself had a button to reinstall programs already bought, because it is very hard to understand how to do this in the store, only option is to install and hide purchase, and how do I reinstall, attention'm talking about reinstalling a computer mac, not an ipad or iphone.

Looking for an iPad(iPad/Mac) app that allows for playlists to migrate to iPad
I am specifially and exclusively looking for recommendations for an iPad(iPad/Mac) app that allows for my playlists to be migrated to iPad intact and playable.
iTunes -> Podcast/Music/Videos does not support mixed (music/video/podcast) playlits or video playlist at all. The app(s) should be able to easily create these playlist on the Mac (and manage content) much like iTunes (10).
On the phone with tech support today and they agree this is missing functionality from Apple. They suggested I reach out on to other users that may have a thrid party solution.Requires each device/user have an unique Apple ID(verifiable email address):
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-my-friends/id466122094?mt=8
Otherwise you can use Find My Phone, but requires logging in for each separate user. Find My Friends(built by Apple) will show everyone's location on one device. -
How do I transfer apps from Mac App Store to my ipad?
Before I bought and iPad, I purchased Diner Dash for my Mac using the Mac App store in the dock. I'm trying to transfer Diner Dash from my Mac onto my iPad too and I can't seem to figure out how. Please help!
You can't; Mac App Store applications only work on Macs. As the developer needs to create and maintain the two versions separately, having bought one doesn't entitle you to a free download of the other.

how do you permanently delete apps from all your mac products (MacBook Pro, iPad, iPhone)
They are not taking up storage space. Apple knows you installed them at one time (="purchased", whether you paid money or not), and merely keeps a list so that if you wish to reinstall any of them on this or a future device, you can. This is useful if maybe you deleted them due to space constraints, and now have a device with more memory and wish to reinstall.
It's also useful for taking a trip down Memory Lane looking at all the useless apps you installed once then immediately deleted once you realized they were total garbage ... -
I synced my new iPad with my new macbook and when I tried to then sync my iPhone as well it says that all apps will be replaced with apps in my library. How do I sync without losing all of my existing iPhone apps?
My guess is that you previously synced the iPhone with a different computer in the past. You will probably want to set up Home Sharing.

Pages tells me I need to upgrade to 5.0 to open documents from iCloud, but the mac app store says its already installed and won't let me upgrade. when I check the version of pages I am running it says 4.3. I just want to be able to open documents on my mac that were created on my iPad. How can i get Pages 5.0?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You already have got Pages 5.0, but you still have got Pages 4.3, so Pages 4.3 is being opened instead of the newest version, being this the reason why you get a message telling you to update Pages to the most recent version.
If you don't need the old version, open a Finder window, choose Applications in the sidebar and delete the old Pages icon or move it to an external drive. I don't recommend you to do this, as users are complaining about the lack of features of the new version.
Instead, what you can do is to put the new Pages icon in the Dock by dragging it from the Finder window to the Dock, so you can open the new Pages version from the Dock and you can open all your documents with it after opening the application -

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
I think you wanted to say App Store. Mac App Store is only available in Macs, not on an iPad.
She probably enabled restrictions. Open Settings > General > Restrictions, and disable them by using the password she set. If she doesn't remember it, you have to restore your device to default settings in Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings, losing everything stored in the device -
Can I access apps purchased on Mac App Store from my iPad or iPhone?
I recently purchased an application from the Mac App Store on my MacBook Pro. Can I access this app from my iPad and iPhone? it does not come up as an app in iTunes.
You will have to purchase the iPad and iPhone versions separately as the Mac version will not work on IOS devices. Some apps work on both phone and iPad so they may not have to be purchased individually, but only IOS apps work on phones and tablets.
