Sync alert - wants to delete...
i know it's pretty common to get sync alerts when conflicts occur in calendars BUT...
i recently got an alert that wants to "delete 465 items - add 2 - modify 26" how can i get it to accept the additions and modifications without deleting all those other things?
any help is greatly appreciated!! thanks!
(i tried to post a screen capture, but it's not working out for me)

I want to delete all music not Syncing, iTune want to delete everything
I want to delete all music in my iPhone to gain space as I do not use it for listening music anyway.
My old computer was stolen and now when I plug my iPhone in itune and try syncing ZERO music it say it will erease everything.
I fear it will remove my Apps, apps data, photo and most importantly I fear it will change the order of my icons.
I do not have ticked anything but "Sync music" will it delete all music or EVERYTHING ?
Someone told me I should use WinSCP to delete the file manually,
Any help would be greatly apreciated.I believe MediMonkey will do that. It requires iTunes to be installed, but you don't need to open iTunes or anything.
http://www.mediamonkey.com/information/free/
It is free but only available for PC and not for mac.
I used to use it when I had a PC, and I think you can just select all the iPhone music on it and delete it. -
I just did the update for the software on the 8530. This is a new problem since the update. I cannot lose my old entries, so I am unable to sync at all now until Blackberry addresses this bug.
I have read through all of the "fixes" but none of them work.
My Keep Appointments setting has always (and I verified is still) set to "forever"
I went into the advance settings on the MAC desktop software from Blackberry and tried changing the date range to the suggested 14 days past and 365 days future. I even tried changing the past days parameter to "1" in hopes it would simply ignore old entries... It still wants to delete 435 past entries.
I have to keep these.
Help, Blackberry! Your "update" to the software is overriding my settings and has made the sync function unusable.Christina,
Thanks for the reply. I unchecked all calendars in iCal and synced and it still gave me the same notice. So then I went into the iTunes window and checked the sync only certain calendars box (instead of the all calendars box) and left all the calendars unchecked and clicked apply but when I click on sync it automatically reverts to all calendars.
When you say you unchecked all calendars did you mean in iCal? And what did you have your iCal settings at in your iTunes sync window?
I appreciate your help,

when sync, you lose all photos.. and have to start over. i am using picasa to get my photos.. i noticed when you take a pic from the ipad 2, you can delete
any photo you want.. i would think that it should be the same no matter how you put photos on the ipad... has any one found a solution to this..
I will keep try different ways..You only lose photos when you sync, if you don't have the photos you want to keep on your iPad checked in Photos in iTunes. And no, the only pictures you can delete directly from iPad are those you took with iPad. All other pictures are managed through iTunes.

Wants to delete my contacts + double posting iCal events and not syncing
Hi everyone!
I hope you can help me.
I have an iPhone + MacBook + iMac and use MobileMe as well. My iphone was full which resulted in it not syncing with my computers. I double checked the settings and saw the "Info syncing" had been turned off for some reason, which I then turned on, and I checked the MobileMe settings as well.
So the situation is this now:
My iCal events are not getting synced to my computer from iPhone or MobileMe.
My iPhone has "double up" some events, meaning that I write them into the phone or my computer, they get uploaded to MobileMe, then synced back to my iPhone and thus appearing twice. I think these are the "old" events that were writing in before my MobileMe account was set up for syncing.
iSync wants to delete 195 contacts on my computers, without modifying or adding any. I did this with my iMac and sure enough some 195 contacts were deleted! Aw! How do I get these back?
My MacBook keeps prompting me with the some message, saying that syncing with MobileMe will delete 195 contacts, even though I have all these contacts present on my iPhone and my computer now.
I do not understand what is happening. I can send the contacts to my iMac and add them again, but I am afraid that these will then appear twice as well. Why can does calender on my iPhone show both the ones I write into the phone and from MobileMe? Shouldn't these be "synced" via MobileMe, so all I have to do is set it up and it should take care of itself? And why oh why does it want to delete 195 contacts? I think these are all my contacts apart from the 5 most recent which I wrote into the iPhone.
Can anyone help me? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!
McHi,
I'm afraid you're asking in the wrong place. This is the iSync forum - which is for syncing contact and calendars to non-Apple mobile phones only. iSync doesn't sync between Macs or with MobileMe.
MobileMe syncing is handled by *MobileMe Sync*, and the forum for that is here:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=957
However, you may need to reset your sync data. The process for that is described in this Apple Support Document:

Calendar Sync Alert lists deleted events that I don't want deleted?
When I sync my iphone and macbook pro I get a calendar alert because it will change 5% of my calendar events or more. Problem is - the items it's listing as "deleted" have not been deleted? what I mean is that I didn't ever delete them from either device and I don't want them deleted but there is no way for me "deselect" these items. I just have to cancel the sync so I don't loose all the events it's lising and my calendars remain unsynced. How can I remedy this without loosing the events?
Thanks, HeatherIn iCal on your computer go to Preferences/Advanced, and uncheck the option to delete events after a period of time.

Yahoo Contact Sync Alert for Deleted Account
I keep getting a yahoo contact sync alert every thirty minutes or so - most annoying as I don't want to sync any contacts, and it wants to sync with a deleted account. This happened after the upgrade to Lion.
I don't see anywhere in iCloud where I can delete the account. I do maintain the account in Mail, but I looked in there before I posted anything here and it's not set to sync contacts. This is the only thing I have a problem with is that it's trying to sync contacts. I don't want to do this anymore and haven't done it for a while. I would just tell it OK and be done with it, but the contacts on Yahoo don't match up with the contacts on my Mac/on iCloud...and the only options are to replace with the Yahoo contacts or merge the contacts. I don't want to do either, and there's no option to replace the Yahoo contacts. One other thing that I didn't note before is that it's only doing it on my MacBook Air. It's not doing it on any of my other Macs which were also set to sync with Yahoo at one time, but had the sync turned off.

1.) How do I organized my photo album on my ipad?
2.) How do I remove an album on my ipad?
3.) i have taken over 1,000 photos on ipad, now it won't sync stuff to the ipad because it said there is not enough space. I want to delete some past synced photos from the computer to create space, but I don't know how to find it on computer. It sycned a portion of a file onto the ipad which is useless to me so I want to delete it all & start fresh.
4.) I was thinking about copying some of those photos over so it would show up as new data maybe then it would sync to my ipad as a new & competed album. Or will this create more problem because it would only be creating more photos?
5.) By the way, I don't know how to use dropbox or anything like it, so I take photos of some files & web screen that I use regularly to always have access regardless of internet access. That is why I have so many photos. But I want to be able to separate & organized them by files, web screens, or topics. I also want to be able to delete & update as needed.
6.) If needed I am willing to delete 4 G of downloaded app to create space. Will this help the space issue? Also could I just leave the downloaded app to my computer only & only sync to to ipad as needed, since I don't need app as regularly. I NEED "photo" ALL of the TIME! I am out in the field, instead of carrying stack & stack of papers, I carry ipad with photo of these daily needed papers!1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad -
i have an ipod touch and i just bought a new laptop, because i lost mine which has all the data of my itouch. i try to sync the music in the itouch to my new laptop but it asks me if i want to delete all my music before syncing what should i do?
You should use your backup copy of your computer to put everything on the new computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod.
The ipod will sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase teh content from the ipod. -
I have a ipod shuffle synced to a desktop (ver 9), I have a new laptop and downloaded itunes (ver 10.7). When i plug the ipod in the new laptop it wants to delete my songs. How do i use my new alptop and ipod together?
Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the PC as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

I just got new ipad mini....I want to delete all of the music that was synced from my itunes account. I have went through and deleted some songs one by one but some have a cloud icon with a red arrow on them.....is there a simple way just to delete them?
Yes there is. Those songs are not actually on your iPad. They are in iCloud ready for download if you choose to do so. If you want to remove them go to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Show All>Music>Off. You can also do this in Settings>Music>Show All Music>Off.

Previously, after connecting my IPHONE 4 to the computer and loading/syncing, I could edit my downloads. Now, I can't seem to find a list of what is actually on my phone. Who says new is always better -- not in this case. HELP!
Sounds like you're trying sync different iTunes libraries on different computers. You can only sync with one at any particular time. If you sync with one and try to do so on another the second will want to delete everything form the first. Can't think of any other reason why what you are doing should be a problem.

I want to delete a few contacts, apps, pics etc from my iphone, but when I delete and connect to my laptop they sync and come back again. How can I delete those items and not get them back when I connect my iphone to my laptop?
Also where exactly on the laptop is teh data stored.
Thank you!!go to 'Edit' in the menu bar. Then choose 'Preferences'.
you'll see a pop-up and there's a tab called 'Devices' there. If you click that, you will be able to check a box that says 'prevent automatic syncing for iPods, iPads and iPhones' or something like that.
Hope this helps
NB: if you don't even see the menu bar that has options like 'File, Edit, View, etc', first click the black/white square button on the top left of your screen, and then click 'show menu bar'. It should pop right up.
Good luck -
An alert mesage e.g(Are you sure you want to delete)
Hi all,
How can I come up with the alert message within the jsp pages?
Is my first time to do that? Actually I want to delete the records. But before
I delete I want to get an alert message e.g. are you sure you want to delete?
If you press OK button then it proceed to delete. And if you press CANCEL
Than it will go back to that same page.
Please help.Such an alert must be programmed as client side, not server side code. It's not java but javascript and it runs on the client's browser, not on your server.
You include an element like:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript1.2">
function askDelete() {
return confirm("Do you really want to delete this?");
</SCRIPT>
<INPUT TYPE="submit" name="delete" value="Delete"
onClick="return askDelete();">An onClick handler on a submit or image input field that returns a value blocks the action if the return is false.
