Sms, itunes and video question.

i have three basic questions. first, when someone sends me a long sms how do i view the entire message? second, do i have to buy itunes or can i take music that i have already d/l on my comp and put it on the phone? and last but not least, is iphone able to take videos? any and all help would be great. thanx in advance.

Each SMS message has a size limit but you simply scroll with your finger to view the entire message - no different from scrolling to read a long email or scrolling on a website.
The iTunes application is free and you must use iTunes to transfer music to an iPod or iPhone. You need the latest version of Tunes to activate an iPhone with AT&T Wireless so iTunes is required. You can import music from a purchased CD to iTunes and unless you downloaded music from a Windows based site that includes Microsoft's DRM protected music, you should be able to import this music into iTunes.
The iPhone's camera takes still photos only but the ability to capture video can be added as an update which may occur at some point.

HT203167 lost itunes and video in library

please reinstate my itunes and videos that are missing from my library
thank you

I think I could solve my problem:
The CalibratedSoftware application CalibratedMXFOptions seemed to be switched back to the Demo license (it's not clear why?), which terminated the duration of the imported files to 30 seconds. Re-activating the proper license and using the QuickRefresh for FCP application updated these files and made FCP recognizing the proper duration of the MXF an MP4 files.
That was not enough. I opened a new project, saved it and opened parallel the 'damaged' project.
That was all!
Thanks

HT4859 Why is my backup to my new iphone taking so long. Ive downloaded all the apps, pictures, all settings are back, all contacts are there, all itunes and videos are there. What does Icloud have left to download?

I just got a new replacement Iphone 4s and am trying to back up my IPhone 4s from Icloud and it still says that it is restoring the phone. The issue is that its taken a total of maybe 6 hours and all my apps have been downloaded, all photos have been restored, all settings and contacts restored, all itunes music and videos have been restored. Question is, it still says that the phone is restoring, so what exactly is it still restoring??

That is ironic, but apparently Apple server is "locked" for restore process for three days. During that time it may say it is restoring even past the actual restore time. I have seen where someone successfully stopped that process, by changing apple id password, and where that didn't help to stop process. But 3 days from restore start, that should time out.
Credit goes to Randers, he is the one who gave that info about three days, but I was also able to verify that myself.

Syncing to one itunes, and video location.

my first problem is that i got an itouch and first connected it with a computer and itunes that wasnt mine (family members) but now im using my own computer and itunes and i cant sync my itouch without erasing everything on it. itunes says that the itouch can only be synced to only one itunes.
i want to sync it but i dont want to loose the music i already have.
second problem, is there a video/movie folder in itunes? like there is one for your music and photos? i can import them to itunes but they arnt compatable but still show in the summary/movies page.

movies will appear in Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Movies and tv shows in Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/TV Shows

Latest version itunes and video converter

so i downloaded the new itunes, and installed it. everything is good. it has a new feature to convert videos into the mpeg4 format to put onto the ipod video. here is where my problem lies, i have converted some videos i have on my computer and after they convert, they dont have any sound. I was wondering if anyone else encountered this problem and if there is a fix to it?
cheers

iTunes and Quicktime don't much like muxed MPEG files, they lose the sound when you convert them.
Here's a post I made with some ways around this: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1171379&#1171379

I'm new to iTunes and my question is probably stupid, but please help!!

I want to authorize my computer on iTunes and I don't know how (I use windows 8 and iTunes version 11 if that helps)
Also, I have my music spread ou between Amozon mp3 and Music (on my iPod) and I know how to join them, but how do you get iTunes to re-scan for media on my computer?
Thank you very much in advance!!

Syncing pics and video question

I am using the new i phone 4 and are starting to get in to i movie and the camera on the phone. I have both a I mac at work and at home.
When I sync up to either machine the camera wants to sync with that machine which in essence calls it to load all the pics from that machines I photo to my phone. What I am more interested in doing is telling the I phone which pics to put on that machine in essence syncing my phone to the machine not the other way around.
What I really want to do also is be able to pick and choose which photos from my phone that I want to import and which that I do not..Is that possible! i.e. i would like to keep some videos on my phone as I edit them in I movie for my I phone...Is there a way to dump some of my camera roll into I photo and keep some of it. Please advise.
Bonus Question: My wife has an I phone and she and I are sharing the same I mac at home...Is there a way that we can set up individual I photo files as to keep our video and pics separate in I photo.

I was wondering this same thing. And I know what the OP is talking about. As there are ways to do what he is talking about, (work arounds) - it still isn't just plain cut and dry like it should be. I have no clue why this great phone has so many little downsides that it doesn't need to have.
First off, this "syncing" name to do what has been done over years on other devices which is called "transferring files" or "Import" and "Export" is just stupid, and on top of that completely limiting.
What I and the OP would like to do, and have it be like is more like, when I plug in my iPhone I don't want to have to "sync" crap, what I want to do is have it operate more like a mini firewire drive has been plugged into my computer. I would like to take certain things off my iPhone, leaving other things, and take ONLY certain things off my computer and put them into my iPhone. Be able to delete anything from my iPhone I want and vice versa.
This "syncing" crap is ridiculous. I mean, I found work arounds, but its stupid to have to do that. IE: If I want to delete photos from my iPhone that I got from my computer, I can't do it !! I simply can not go to my phone and check photos to delete and delete them.. HA !! Is that ridiculous or what ? What I have to do is "sync" a empty folder to it, then it wipes it out. BUT its limiting because, what if I only want to delete a few, and keep some others ? Well, yes, I have to then create a "sync" folder with them photos I want to keep, but none others, then sync it, and there it is. Its totally redundant and stupid and there is no reason for it.
That is alot of steps to just do what normally should be able to be done. Seriously what is Steve Jobs thinking with some of these things ?
This SAME thing applies to ringtones I made and got into my iPhone. I can not delete them !! I have to use the above process to accomplish this as well.
What we want, and the way it should be is more of a "import" and "export" thing. NOT this "sync" idea. Its stupid. It takes too much control over my iPhone and files, and I want to be in complete control of my iPhone and files. I paid for it, why not ?.
This also applies to the music, and just all "syncing" cases with this iPhone and iTunes. It causes accidental complete erasures of your carefully compiled files and vice versa. It is completely to "do it all or nothing at all" type of thing. Steve Jobs swears I want my whole music library on my iPhone at all times. Or all my photos, and then he wants to take control of them.
I say get rid of "Sync" and give me "Import" and "Export" of my personally created files along with complete control of what I want to keep where and what I don't. JUST like a mini firewire drive was attached and how that works. It would be SOOOOO much more simple. And make sooooo much more sense. Then have premade tags of any thing we purchased and was copywriten that makes those things NOT be able to be transfered around without syncing and it taking control like it does now so it can't be anywhere but with who purchased it.

Fresh Install of iTunes and some Questions

I just did a fresh install, set up home sharing, and did an iCloud match so my whole library is in the cloud. I have my library file stored locally but my music files on my NAS. Here are my questions:
1. I want to install iTunes on my wifes computer, set up iTunes match for her, set up shaing. She will have a "shell" setup where notjing is stored as she is sharing with me and accessing the cloud. Do I need to set up that computer under my user id even though she has her own? I figure thats the only way to get her to iTunes match that I have?
2. How do I do this all? Meaning, I will have a local library file for her but I need to point her laptop to the NAS with the files on them. If I change her iTunes media file to that location on the NAS and check keep organized, will it screw up the files I have there? I noticed when I did that on my PC it moved some fles around and I had to reassociate lost files to songs. Took hurs. Would iTunes have done that automatically for me somehow? Should I not check the keep organized for her as she will not be adding music anyhow? What is the harm either way?
3. How do I see my pictures on my ATV unit? I thought I used to be able to but don't see an "app" on the ATV to do so, just photo stream which I do not want to do. I thought I used to be able to access the pictures stored on my NAS? Am I dreaming this or did it go away? My NAS is an iTunes server and I swear I used to be able to access them from my ATV? All I see on my ATV under my library is music, podcasts and movies.
4. I have my NAS sharing (home sharing) and I can see it on my laptop with iTuenes installed. When I click on it I see only music, no movies or anything else, why is that and is it something to do with home sharing? But, like I said I can see thse movies on ATV under my library. I can also see my playlists on the shared on my laptop but nothing is in them. I think that may be becuase they were set up under another library and now that I hve a new library file, they don't carry over? I don't see any of said playlists in the sttandard iTunes interface under playlists, just under the shared however like I said, no files in them. Also, the share comes and goes as in sometimes I see it sometimes I don't however I am always able to access the NAS from iTunes. Strange, may be network issues?
5. Along those same lines, sometimes the home share just up and dissapears from ATV. Maybe a network issue?
6. Lastly, I just did my first backup/sync to my new laptop with the frsh install of iTunes on it. It gave me some sort of message that I can only sync to one computer and do I want to overwrite or whatever? I said no and it did nothing. After that, I did a back-up however it seemed to go fast and I also did a sunc. The sync was three steps, used to be like six and I did not notice any of my new apps being copied to it. Something is wrong here but not sure what to do, ideas?
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

#4 - make sure you are sharing out all the items in your itunes library (music, movies, etc)
you should be able to do that under preferences
you may also want to check if it is pointing to the correct library
#1 - home sharing should work on the LAN w/out the need for signing in; the shared libraries should appear under "shared" in the left sidebar of itunes
think this may resolve the issues you have on #2 as well
#2 - itunes doesnt seem like it's built for that, but if you have any experience, i'd like to hear it. this seems why home sharing is the usually the best route to go and just have one instance of itunes managing the library
but as long as the NAS or any media drives are shared out, connecting to it should not be a problem. it's the writing to the itunes library that's the issue. i haven't used Match so can't help there.
depending on your OS, you can either ctrl-click or option-click on the itunes icon,
which will also give you the option of selecting a library location upon launching itunes
you can navigate to the location of the library file and point it to that.
technically, you could do that but i believe the actual library has to be stored locally
as long as you still have all the media, then you can just rebuild the library
but for locally shared items, as in, all inside the home, i would leave icloud out of the equation
just use itunes sharing and it should be fine

Iphoto,itunes and video clips

Hi,
I have an ipod video and sync via itunes (v7) my photos (iphoto v 6) and music. I do have, however, a large number of video clips in both .avi and mpg formats in iphoto. When I sync these dont go across. Anyone know of any anyway that they can?
Thx

Thx
I thought as much, I was just hopping there may be a button that I had missed that did it automaticly, rather than dragging and dropping 200 clips. Would be a good feature for them to integrate in the next release.
Cheers

Audio and video question.

I have a standard audio button on page one of my folio but when i swipe down to a page that has a video it kills the audio.
It only kills the audio exactly when the video starts.
Thoughts?

Pretty much how it works. One or the other and one at a time.

ITunes and Videos

I have the most recent version of iTunes. When I try to play a video, I can hear the sound, but there is no picture. Any ideas?

I have an older iPod. I would think that this would not matter as I wasn't trying to watch it on my iPod, but was trying to watch videos on iTunes on my computer. Basically, what happens is the little section for the video is there, but remains blank.

IMac24" - RAM and video question

Hi,
Scrolling down the threads here I read that, with the 24" iMac, there is a bug where the NVIDIA graphics card tries to access data above 2Gb in RAM.
I'm soon to order my new iMac and, to make it as future proof as possible, I want to order it with 3Gb RAM.
I'm not a gamer, but I do a fair bit of photo and audio work, with some video as well.
Are these sort of application likely to cause the graphics card / RAM conflict?
And should I bother with the extra expense of the 7600 graphics card or won't it make any difference with what my main uses for the Mac are?

I'm sure not aware of any bug, Robin. I went ahead and maxed-out my 24" iMac, and I'm glad I did.

But would that still explain why I can't boot into single user mode?
Even before getting to single user mode access and the like the boot process calls on the OS, Scott (in the form of the "BootX" bootloader, which lives at System/Library/CoreServices/BootX.)
You can read more about the boot sequence used in OSX at http://www.kernelthread.com/mac/osx/arch_boot.html and http://www.kernelthread.com/mac/osx/arch_startup.html
These may not be quite up to date, as they were written when Macs were running on PPC chips rather than intel, but essentially the sequence of events is much the same.
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPSystemStartup/BPSys temStartup.html should fill in any changes with the new architecture
