Synching photos, apps etc.

I have a problem with synching between my PC and iPod. I want to synch selected pictures but there is no such option in itunes. I don't want to put all the pictures on my ipod, just a few.
Another thing, when I downloaded some applications using the ipod wi-fi, they got deleted after I connected to PC and I can't seem to find the reason why. I got them reinstalled now but one of these apps was an ebook reader and my ebook got lost along with the info on where I finished reading last time. Is there a way to setup itunes to not delete the content off of my ipod?

I discovered this post which seems to have solved my problem:

Sorry haven't read all the posts, seems apple feel the same way...but I found this on another forum called techreplies.com and it worked for me. Give it a shot and good luck
        Nick Namaste said on January 28, 2011      Try this. It worked for me. I have had to do it more than once over the last few months because the problem recurs, even with the latest iPhone update installed. I found the solution on the web, but I it was not easy, and now I cannot relocate it.1. Unplug Iphone from Mac.
2. In iTunes, select File –> Library –> Organize Library –> Consolidate files
3. Plug in IPhone & Sync
The voice memos should be there.

Recently I updated iTunes on my PC and now the "Summary" for syncing my iPhone with iTunes no longer appears near the top of my iTunes window. "Summary" lists items I can sync such as "Music, Photos, Apps", etc with drop-down boxes I can use to manage how I sync those items. An icon for my iPhone does appear near the top right corner of the iTunes window; however, when I click on the icon, the sync automatically begins and there is no display of what is syncing or how much space has been used or how much space is left for syncing music, photos, apps, etc. The new iTunes window no longer lists "Devices" on the left-hand side of the window. Has anyone had the same issue?

In iTunes go to View>Show Sidebar.

Is there anyway to restore all photos, apps, etc onto an iPad using the most recent iCloud back up from an iPhone? I did a backup on my iPhone today but when I restored my iPad using that backup, only the photos in the photostream transferred to the iPad?

In technical support, sometimes you have to make educated guesses. I'm sorry that you were offended.
iTunes does prompt when it is going to erase a device, and the message is clear.
She said in her message that she was able to successfully sync the old ipad. This indicated to me that itunes wiping the data was not an issue, because either it had been setup at the apple store (in which case it doesn't actually wipe the ipad despite saying it will*) (*based on a single case I saw), or because the itunes media folder was migrated.
Furthermore, my solution was to tell her how to backup her ipad (by either doing it manually, or as a last resort, by deleting the corrupt backup -- that she couldn't access anyway.)
I got that last part of the instructions from the "Taking Control of your iphone" book which I found samples of when I did a google search for "corrupted backup itunes".
She marked this as a solution, so it worked for her.

Why is iTunes not sinking certain music on a playlist to my 4S, also it is not showing splits in capacity bar (music, photos, apps etc.)?

Hi,
My iTunes will not sync any new music in my "iPhone Music" playlist to my phone. It has been saying that there was too much capacity but that has corrected itself now.
Also, iTunes is not splitting the uses on the capacity bar for Music, Apps, Photos etc.
I can't seem to add any new music to my phone now.
Can anyone help?

It's telling you there's not enough space *on your 4S*. The 25GB you refer to is probably that on iCloud, that's different memory than that on your iPhone. You need to delete video, pictures, apps, or whatever ON THE IPHONE, to make enough room for downloading updates to your apps.

How to upgrade iPad2 to iOS5 without deleting my photos & apps etc

I have an iPad 2 and it's been a long time since I did a sync and i don't have the computer any more.
I want to upgrade to iOS5, I downloaded iTunes onto a PC and plugged in the ipad but it said it was going to erase everything.
I don't care about music and videos (I don't have any), but I MUST PRESERVE my photos and contacts and notes and bookmarks and applications.
What must I do please? I serached on goole and it suggested third party programs, but I would prefer not to buy some dogy progams just to upgrade my ipad.
Thank you very much, William

Have a look at this article How to back up your data and set up as a new device
Basically you'll have to make sure to back up manually by right clicking on your device in the device list and choosing "backup", then do the same again to transfer your purchases. Make sure you have at least one contact and event listed on your computer, to be able to merge data when you sync for the first time.
Contacts and photos taken with the ipad are part of the backup, see this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4079
Photos can also be copied to your computer, as explained here: Copying personal photos and videos from iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer

Iphoto, WD my cloud and photos app

Hi all,
Please let me start by giving some background info to my question.
I have recently bought a WD My Cloud, and am trying to store my photo library on it.
Since I've read in various forums that it's not possible to have iphoto on a external volume (not ios formatted or so), i have deleted iphoto and the iphoto library completely from all my devices. So just before someone's telling me that it's not compatible again: I know.
Next step is that i have copied all my photos (incl folder structure) manually to the my cloud by drag and drop in Finder on mac.
On my iPad, I have installed the WD photos app.
After a lot of trial and error, I have even come as far as uploading photos from the ipad camera roll to the My Cloud.
So far so good, right? Now comes the weird thing:
At first time setup of the device in the app (so i did some upload with the little button showing a camera and "up"-arrow, but not clicked on the device icon before), it is trying to sync iPhoto library, 4896 photos (incl masters, previews and thumbnails) to Public/Shared pictures/uploaded/iphoto Library.photolibrary/....
But how is that possible? I deleted iphoto, right?
Also surprising, the app does not see the folders I've uploaded manually via finder (yet)...
I have already tried re-installing the app, removing cloud access for the ipad, rebuilding the DLNA media database, restarting devices (in various sequences, just to be sure).
So my question: Why is the app still trying to upload (or sync) iphoto library??? Does it still exist somewhere in the background? Am I overlooking something?
The app does not get out of "First Time Setup" status.
I am also posting this question to WD support. Hope someone can help...

No idea - not even clear on what you are doing
How about a post with just the evelant facts about your question about iphoto for the Mac - most if not all of what you posted is irrevalent to that - nothing on your iPad, nothing about WD Photo app, etc
What version of iPhoto? What OS? what do you want iPhoto for the Mac to do? And what is it not doing or doing that you do not want?
And you are correct that your question may be purely a WD support question

Synching Photos from Computer - deleting all apps?

I want to synch photos from my computer to my new iPad for the first time. When I choose "synching photos" and go to "apply" I get a Message that all apps on my iPad will be deleted. I don't understand the connection to the apps. How do I get around that? Thanks for any assistance.

Connect you iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Then from the iTunes menu at the top go to File>Transfer Purchases. This will place all of your purchased content - apps, media, songs, etc, into your iTunes Library on the computer.
Then click on the Apps Tab in iTunes on the right, Check the box next to Sync Apps, then make sure that you check the boxes next to all of the apps that you want to keep on the iPad, Go through all of the other tabs in the iTunes window and make sure you select all of the other content that you want to sync - and remember to check the headings (Sync Music, Sync Movies, etc).
Click on apply and all of the content that you chose to sycn will now be on the iPad.

When deleting iCloud account, how can I save the photo's & other apps etc that are stored in iCloud?

I have recently changed my Apple ID as my email address has changed & also changed my password.
I posted a question yesterday about this & have since discovered from further searching here, that I need to delete and set up a new iCloud account as my iPad keeps asking me to login in with my Apple ID showing my old email address (& doesn't accept old (or new) password). Also, naturally, I can't back up with iCloud.
When I go to delete iCloud account a message appears that my photo stream (& presumably other stored apps etc?) will be deleted/ lost from my iPad too. I currently have no access to any other computer (when return home I have a windows lap top only). I am therefore very reluctant to delete my account in fear of loosing my photo's in particular.
Can any one help with the above please? Would all my stored data (phot's, apps etc) actually be deleted from my iPad when deleting my iCloud account? If so how else can I save (later restore?) my iCloud stored data?
Man thanks,
NJohnR

I do appreciate your, obviously experienced, help.
When I went to change my details in the mail settings as you suggested, I was unable to do so. Yes- I could & did add my new email details that I changed to in my Apple ID. however I was unable to change the primary email & therefore iCloud still wouldn't recognise my new Apple ID & kept asking for my details under my old/ original email address.
Though I did search further after this in the iCloud web site & found further very similar questions to mine where users were successful by deleting the iCloud account.
So I went ahead & did this. As soon as I had deleted the account it asked me to login to iCloud with my new email address in my Apple ID which worked fine - & I have also retained all my data.
Again, I appreciate your help & time you spent in reading and answering my need for help.
All the best,
NJohnR

My laptop was stolen and I need to be able to connect my iPhone4 to the new laptop and transfer content (photos, mp3's, apps etc.) to the new laptop. I'm afraid to try a sync in case it deletes all the content off the iPhone. Any suggestions?

You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

My iPad is like it has been wiped clean - none of my photos, contacts, apps, etc are showing. It is like it is brand new. Is there any way to recover my pictures, downloads, etc.?

My iPad is now like it has been wiped clean - none of my photos, contacts, etc. are coming up - Is there a way to recover this?

Then I'm sorry. If your iPad is wiped clean and you have no backup, there is nothing to help you.......Of course you can redownload your apps, even paid for ones, as long you use the same Apple ID you purchased them with. As for pics, music, etc., you can sync them back to your iPad via iTunes and your computer. You can set up your mailboxes again, but there's no magic bullet to get your iPad back easily. Let this be a lesson and once you've got your iPad set up again, BACK IT UP.

Yes i had not taken back up before restoring it. However i was just going through some links on the net and there is a software available for MAC to retrieve such lost data. But the point is will the said software work on iphone as the OS is not MAC..
Will have to give a try to this. If successful will share it with all. Anyone else has any idea about this please so share.
