Rsync - download to directory other than the sync directory

I want to rsync from server/dir to local/dir. local/dir is an outdated sync of server/dir. I would like to perform a sync but actually download the necessary files for the sync to a different directory than local/dir.
Basically: compare server/dir and local/dir, download the necessary updates to local/some-other-dir.
It doesn't seem as if rsync has this functionality built in, but it's possible I'm missing something.
How could I do this?

My question is more complex than a standard backup procedure, I don't see anything about my question in the wiki.
Basically, I compare A to B but actually perform the backup to location C.

  • Running a java program in a directory other than the current directory

    How do I run a java program that's located in a directory other than the current directory?
    There is a file Test.java in /dir1/subdir1. If my current directory is anywhere other than that directory, say /dir2/subdir2, I can compile Test.java by using:
    javac -classpath /dir1/subdir1 /dir1/subdir1/Test.java
    But when I try to run it with:
    java -classpath /dir1/subdir1 /dir1/subdir1/Test
    I get a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: \dir1\subdir1\Test
    Any thoughts?

    You need to specify just the name of the class you want to run. So java -classpath /dir1/subdir1 Test

  • Downloading movies & tv shows from iTunes shops other than the US

    I download from the Danish & Canadian iTunes stores. I was just wandering if any time soon we who download from the other iTunes stores will get the opportunity to download movies & tv shows.
    I am feeling really left out!!!!!! : (

    The usual answer is that the copyright holders are holding the cards. It is their decision as to what can be sold in which iTS. I am sure that Apple would love to have just one store for everyone.
    No one knows when video and TV Shows will be available in iTS other than the US.

  • Does any iPod model (or has any ever) other than the iPod Touch support iCloud or wifi syncing?

    No, the Touch is it.

  • Can I use Apple store from a country other than the country I live in.  Example:  I live in USA and want to use Apple store in Thailand to buy and download thai content.

    Can I use Apple store from a country other than the country I live in.  Example:  I live in USA and want to use Apple store in Thailand to buy and download thai content.

    No, you can only buy content from your own country's store - to be able to buy form another store you need a valid billing address in that country and be in that country when buying from it. You can try requesting that the content that you want be added to the US store, but ultimately it's the content providers (record companies, film studios etc) that will have to grant Apple a license to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • My hard disc crashed and I have no back up other than the music I have on my ipod. I have downloaded Itunes onto my new hard disc but I have read if I just connect my ipod it will wipe everything on the latter rather than upload from it ?

    What can I do ?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You have to transfer the music from your iPod to iTunes. There are some third-party applications that can do it > https://discussions.apple.com/message/11319208#11319208

  • TS3297 iTunes puts up a message "The item you've requested is not currently available in the Hong Kong Store." I had not requested anything from the HK store at that point, and I have never used any store other than the HK one. How I can clear that messag

    I've been running iTunes on WinXP for years with few problems.  I have all my iTunes files on an external USB drive. I just bought a new PC running Win7, 64-bit.
    I connected the external USB drive to the new PC and installed 64-bit iTunes on it. When iTunes started up, I pointed it at the iTunes directory in the external drive, using Edit > Preferences > Advanced > iTunes Media Folder Location. It showed a progress bar that it was updating the iTunes Library. I signed in and authorized the new machine. I have one spare authorization.
    Then iTunes put up a message "The item you've requested is not currently available in the Hong Kong Store." I had not requested anything from the HK store at that point, and I have never used any store other than the HK one.
    When I click OK, the iTunes Store page remains blank, apart from saying "iTunes Store" in the middle of the page.
    I went to "View My Account" and pressed the Reset button to "Reset all warnings for buying and downloading items", but that doesn’t fix this particular warning. I also tried Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Reset Warnings and Rest Cache.
    But still, every time I click the “App Store” button in the iTunes Store window, the message appears. If I click the Books, Podcasts or iTunesU buttons, these display normally.  So I’m stuck with being unable to purchase apps, other than through my iPad and iPhone.
    If I move the external drive back to the XP machine, the same thing happens.  If I go to another PC - a notebook running Vista - everything is normal.
    Any idea how I can clear that message?
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Further info on my question above.
    I have tried re-validating my credit card, which apparently fixed it for some. 
    I have also tried uninstalling, re-downloading and installing again.
    Neither of these steps fixed the problem.

  • HT3819 What's the difference, other than the 24.99, between Home Sharing (free) and iTunes Match (24.99)?

    What's the difference, other than the 24.99, between Home Sharing (free) and iTunes Match (24.99)?

    Home sharing allows you to share content between computers and devices on your wifi network - so if you have your library on your computer's iTunes and you want to access it on your iPad then both your computer and iPad have to be turned on, iTunes open on your computer, and both need to be connected to the same wifi network.
    iTunes Match will upload your music library to the cloud (including music copied from CDs and from other sources) allowing you to accces it from your computer or iPad without requiring your main computer to be on - and if you have access to a network when not at home you can download or stream music from it. It's also acts as a second backup of your content (you should still maintain your own backup of your library).
    iTunes Match, from http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/ :
    Once your music is in iCloud, you can play it from any of your devices. Just browse the complete list of all your music stored in the cloud and tap to play to it. You can store up to 25,000 songs in iCloud (more if songs are purchased from the iTunes Store), but only what you play or download is stored on your device. Tap the iCloud download button to download music from an artist, album, or playlist. So you have immediate access to a huge music library without having to worry about the storage space on your device.
    But whether it's worth it only you will know. Personally I don't use it, I keep and maintain my own backup of my content and sync it to my devices so that I don't have to rely on being online to access what I might want to listen to,

  • When in mail, i would like to move emails to different folders other than the inbox, sent and trash can a folder be created?

    When in mail i would like to move my emails to a different folder on mail account other than the inbox, sent and trash options, can i  create a new folder?

    The suggestion above is for MailBoxes on the Mac in the mail app and have nothing at all to do with the iPad. I think that you are asking about the iPad mail app.
    You need to have an IMAP email account in order to create additional mailboxes on the iPad.
    If you go to your email account in the Mail app and look at the window where your inbox, trash folder and sent folder are - if there is an Edit button at the top of the window - tap that and then tap Add Mailbox at the bottom.
    If the Edit button is not there - you cannot create folders on the iPad. Your email account is not IMAP. Only IMAP email accounts can create folders on the iPad. Any folders that you would already have in an IMAP account would sync to the device as well.

  • How to install PS CC to a SSD other than the boot or "C" SSD.

    I want to install PS CC, Bridge CC, and Lr CC to a SSD other than the boot or "C" SSD.
    How to do that?
    Problem is, CC Set-Up automatically installs these apps to my boot or "C" SSD.

    I signed-out of PS; and deleted PS, Bridge, Lr, and Creative Cloud. The, when I download (i.e., saved) Creative Cloud Setup to my "A" drive SSD, then double click to install Creative Cloud, "it" automatically installs the Creative Cloud app to my "C" SSD.
    The app does not ask where I want to install Creative Cloud.
    I keep looking for an opportunity to "change the default install location" but I do not see such an opportunity.
    Previously, when I installed PS there was no opportunity to "change the default install location."
    Can you tell me how to find or force an opportunity to "change the default install location?"
    Where or how do I find "the CC app settings?"
    Does Abode have a manual install version for Creative Cloud, PS, Bridge, and Lr?
    FYI, my OS is Win 7 pro 64 bit.
    Also, why does Adobe automatically install a 32bit version of PS on my system?
    Can I prevent that?

  • Is it possible to install an iOS upgrade from a computer other than your sync computer?

    Hello,
    Is it possible to install an iOS upgrade from a computer other than your sync computer? I usually sync to my tower at home, but only have access to my laptop now. My laptop is authorized to the same iTunes account as the tower. If I do a software update for the iPhone on the laptop's copy of iTunes, will it wipe away my music that isn't from the iTunes store, etc?
    Thanks,
    Will

    Yes, but all your data will be replaced by whatever is on this other computer. So if you don't want that to happen wait and install on the computer with which the device is normally synced.

  • Deploying Crystal Reports 2008 on a website other than the default website

    Hi,
    We have an ASP.NET 2003 web application using CR 2008 as reporting tool.
    To deploy the application, we are using the CR 2008 mergemodules.
    If the application is installed into the default website, this works fine, but if another website is selected, the mergemodule still installs CR 2008 to the default website.
    To overcome this problem, the crystalreportviewers12 virtual directory has to be created in the selected website.
    But if the application is installed directly into the website, and not into a virtual directory of the website, problems occur, like images not showing up.
    I would like to know if there exists documentation regarding deployment into websites, other than the default website and what configurations have to be done to make it work.
    Best regards,
    Ângelo Vilela

  • I need a replacement HD audio driver other than the IDT/Beats hunka junk.

    Anyone out there know if its alright to install a HD audio driver (brandwise) other than the one that came pre loaded on my HP Dv6 A8 windows7 x64? Hp apparently has IDT by the short hairs, not letting anything get out without being overprocessed, compressed and enhanced to DEATH. Not only that but they've got to drag that insolent worthless F*up, Beats audio to every download. I've tried everything, from the generic system driver that comes with windows, to registry patches and still have every problem that everyone else has with this driver.
    I only see a few ways through this and they are as follows
    1.)  Get a new sound card ( but I'm broke after paying 900.00 for this laptop)
    2.)  Build a cutom driver  ( guess you gotta start somewhere 'eh?)
    3.) Get the lo-down on a Beats-free Idt driver...........ANYONE?..anyone.......anyon..any........
    4.) OR, get a thumbs up and possibly a link to the original question.
    I'm afraid that all this messin' with my 'puter is gonna funk it up after a while. Kinda like a bad hair day, the more you fuss the worse the 'muss.

    I am providing you a link to an HP Support document called “Obtaining Software and Drivers” below. This document will demonstrate the different ways up getting your drivers. From Microsoft, to the HP driver page for your computer, to the original drivers that came with your computer.
    There is nothing saying you cannot go directly to the audio manufacturer and download their drivers for the chip but there is no guarantee that they will work correctly as most times the OEM (in this case HP) request modifications to the hardware to suit the software requirements so they may not match up exactly. It is worth giving it a try though.

    Hi I am wondering if anyone can help me. I have two albums in my photos app other than the camera roll that i cant seem to get rid of. They contain duplicates of the photos i already have in my camera roll. One is called Photo Library, and the other is called iphone. It's using alot of space and I don't know how to delete them. Please HELP!!

    those are photos that have been synced to your phone from your computer. plug in your phone to your computer, open itunes, select 'photos' tab from the top, and uncheck 'sync photos'
    this will erase the photos from your phone that are not in the camera roll
