Sync photos wirelessly without opening an app

Hey all - I'm wondering if anyone knows of a sync solution that doesn't require opening an app. I've been able to sync photos wirelessly to my computer using applications like Phototomac but need a solution where I don't have to open up an app to select photos.
Is there any way to connect to the iPad and when a photo hits the photo library it would show up on my computer as well? Or even manually be able to select photos from a browser to transfer.
Thanks!

With the exception of a few apps, like Safari, the answer is no.

Is there a way to send email without opening Mail.app?

Hello,
I would like to be able to send email using either an Applescript or a shell script that would send email without opening Mail.app. The ideal solution would be using an account and settings (such SSL encryption of my password) that are stored in mail.app. However, if that is not possible, I could set up another email account to be used just for the purpose I have in mind so I don't have to worry about my password being exposed in clear text.
I've seen Applescripts that open Mail.app and then hide it in the background but the key requirement for my particular need is that Mail.app never open during the send process. I synchronize my email between my iMac and my Powerbook using Chronosync so it is critical that none of the files that store or index the actual mail in Mail.app be opened so as not to alter their modification dates.
Thank you,
James

If you upgrade to 10.4 there is a widget that will let you compose and send mail without opening Mail.
Here's two other options.
1. Does your isp have a web based email?
2. Download a program like thunderbird for email. When you configure it end phony information for incoming mail and only fill in the correct infor for outgoing mail.

Send email without opening mail app

Hi
So how can I send email without opening mail app.
From: Overview of requested additional functionality, Ayuba Audu
Hi Peter,
There are a couple of services available that support sending emails via REST API calls. Of course, each such service requires a WADL connector to be created, but by taking advantage of resources such as the early alpha of our
WADL Generator, along with
our documentation, one will be enabled to do this.
This way you do not need to have the Mail application available, on the machine the app is running on.
Thanks.
Hi Ayuba
I guess the comment above was mentioned for this thread. If so can you please share a simple example file here or anywhere elese?
Thanks

Basically all I'm trying to do is to build an app for multiple users in one company. Each employer (user) is stored in collection with their password and email address. To get access to man screen of the app, employee must login in login screen. Chose his
name and type the password. I want to add a button for forgotten password so in case one of the employee would forget his password he can click on the button and receive on his email his password. The email what he will get would be for example from
[email protected] with mail body : your password is 12345.
So is that what you meant I can do with WADL generator?

Ipad - Sync photos and it will delete Apps..what the **** is going on

I have updated both my iphone and Ipad2 to latest operating system, but tell me apple what the **** were you thinking?
1) Now I can't sync my photos on to my Ipad from my laptop, if I do it will delete all my Apps!
2) Icloud appears to be a waste of time - it does not up load photos at all
3) All photos that were on my Ipad have been deleted.
Honestly what a mess Apple, you have launched this update without sorting out the bugs users are having sever problems!!!, what I want to know is how are you going to resolve this!!. We pay top price for your equipment and this is waht we get...Rubbish

I lost absolutely nothing when I updated my iPad - never have - with any update.
Did you ever transfer the purchases from the iPad into your iTunes library in the past? If you had done so, I don't think that you would have received that message.
Transfer Purchases.

Have you tried syncing again with iTunes in order to transfer your photos back onto the iPad? If the photos are still in your iTunes library, select them to sync, while the computer is connected to the computer and while iTunes is running - and then sync again.
Apple can't hear you rant here. this is a user to user forum only.

TIP: Instantly Find And Hear Music/SFX Clips Without Opening Any App.

I am usually the last person to discover something so please accept my apologies if you already know this!
I was just watching a free Wind Blur Transition tutorial on genius.com and came across what I think is a very useful audio tip for locating and listening to music and sound effects quickly.
1. Click on the Finder in the dock to open the window and press Cmd F to put it in "Search" mode.
2. Change the "Any" button to "Music" and type a "descriptive" word in the search box.
At this point any music and sound effects you have with that word in the title will appear.
To listen to any one of them instantly simply highlight its name (by clicking it) and press the space bar.
It will start playing immediately.
To instantly hear another before the end of the playback just highlight another tune and that will start playing automatically.
Some of you, who have not loaded any sound effects may be surprised to hear that every Mac comes loaded with hundreds of sound effects hidden away in the Audio folder.
If you would like to see the tutorial click here:-

The audio tip starts about 1 minute 17 seconds in.

Hi -
I cannot overstate the power of QuickLook. I believe it first appeared in Tiger(?) or Leopard.
It has completely changed the speed and ease of finding elements, and has, when combined with Spotlight - in my case, eliminated the need of a media database (iView Media Pro, which was bought by Microsoft and turned into Expression Media).

How I delete a smart group without opening the app?

I created a too large smart group (not that smart after all) and now address book crashes all the time when I try to start it.

Thanks a lot. I have iCloud and the suggestion of unchecking and having iOS reconstituting the address book from iCloud worked perfectly! Great suggestion

Sync Photos app without iCloud

Can I sync Photos on my iPhone 5S, & iPad Mini (iOS 8.3) with my MacBookPro (OS 10.10.3) Photos app (1.0) without the cloud. I have too many photos to use the cloud affordably. Please advise a workaround if you know of one.

I want to sync my iphone to a new computer without loosing my apps, contacts, and photos

I need to sync my iphone3 to a new computer without loosing my data

Take a look here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141 I think this is what you need. I just did a clean install of OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard on our iMac (mid-07) and used this guide to get my wife's iPhone (3GS) to sync with it again...without losing the apps. This page from OSXdaily is also useful: http://osxdaily.com/2012/02/29/sync-iphone-new-computer-without-losing-data/ I do use Time Machine, and backed up my drive before I did the whole wipe and install, so I did have all the backup files for the iPhone... It took a little time, but I did manage to drag all the music and photos over so I didn't lose anything. Hope this helps.

I just installed Yosemite. iPhoto is gone, and Photos does not open. Instead, I am prompted to update to the latest version. The App Store tells me that is not available in the US. What do I do? Cannot access any photos.

You are talking about the menu bar of Itunes, right?
Yes. With iTunes open the menu bar is at the top of your screen.
where exactly is the Store/synck you iphone option?
After you authorize the computer connect your iPhone then follow the instructions here > iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
When you are done transferring the data to the desktop, right or control click the iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window then click Back Up.
That way you will have a backup just in case you need to restore your iPhone.

Can i sync my ipod apps with pc without deleting the apps at pc

Hey sry for bad english i am german ;p
i Want to update my Ipd at the pc of my girlfrind so i have to sync my ipod to save my apps and musik the problem is i don´t want to delete here Apps or music saved at the PC and also i dont wanna delete my one and how can i find them when they are in her playlist cause it´s above 2000song dont know every of them.
A simpler way is to update it on my pc but there i cant connect to Itunes and there is the problem in my itunes isabove 170GB music there i never find my old song or is it possible without deleting songs and apps on iPod or saving them seperatly.
I hope you understand me and can help me

yes its possible, before you connect to pc change a setting in itunes:
open itunes, go to edit (bearbeiten, steht oben links neben datei) ---> settings (einstellungen)---> device (geräte) and there you can turn off automatic sync (automatische synchronisierung von ipods.... verhindern, da ein haken vor setzen)
would be the best if you back up your data at your pc before you make the update at another pc
edit:
her pc will not be deleted, you ipod will also keep everything

How do I delete synced photos from my IPad 2? My computer is no longer holding a charge and I would like to delete photos I synced without my computer

I hope that it is not true that I cannot delete photos thaI synced to my iPad. I cannot use my computer because it is not charging. How do I remove synced photos from my iPad without the use of my ITunes?

This is a problem. Normally you do need to connect to the computer you've synced ith previously to delete albums that were copied from that computer.
In the case where the old computer fails, crashes or is sold or discarded, you need to get all of your stuff off the iPad and onto a new computer. Visit Apple support to learn how to do this. Once you establish a new tunes library on a different computer you can sync and delete the photo albums you no longer want.
Another option is to restore your iPad to its original state. That will delete everything including photos, non default apps, music, videos, etc.
Once reset and erased you can download all purchased apps again.
