Syncing and deleting

I'm sure that this has been asked a few times already but....
what happens if i sync my movies to ATV then delete them from my powerbook? I would like to be able to store them only on the ATV to preserve hard drive space and have already managed to loose a few through experimentation.
any suggestions?

After syncing it to the Apple TV, find the movie in the Finder and delete it from the Finder; you can find the location of anything other than rented movies by getting info for it in iTunes. You should keep another copy.

I have enabled iCloud on my iPhone. In case i delete the photos from my phone would they still be on my iCloud account or will it sync and delete it on iCloud as well?

Hello lonestar17,
Thank you for the question. It sounds like you are curious about how iCloud stores your photos. Photo Stream stores your photos temporarily so that you can have time to sync them to your computer, but the photos will expire after 30 days:
Does using My Photo Stream substitute for using iCloud Backup or iTunes to back up the photos in my Camera Roll ?
No. Photos in My Photo Stream are saved on the iCloud server for 30 days. To save or back up these photos, you must copy them from My Photo Stream to your Camera Roll on your iOS device. You can then back up your Camera Roll using iCloud or iTunes.
How long are My Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud?
The photos you upload to My Photo Stream are stored in iCloud for 30 days to give your devices plenty of time to connect and download them.
How many photos are stored in My Photo Stream on my devices and computers?
iCloud pushes all your photos to the My Photo Stream album on your devices and computers, and manages them efficiently, so you don’t run out of storage space.
Your iOS devices keep a rolling collection of your last 1000 photos in the My Photo Stream album. From there, you can browse your recent photos or move the ones you like to your Camera Roll or another album to keep them on your device forever.
Because your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to have all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically downloaded. In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, select Photos (or Photo Stream) > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will be imported into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture. On your PC with My Photo Stream enabled in the Control Panel, all of your photos will be imported into C:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream. For iCloud Control Panel 2.0 to 2.1.2 users, the path isC:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\Photo Stream\My Photo Stream .

How do i set up my mac, iPad and iPhone so that when i delete mail on one it syncs and deletes it from the others at the same time?

Hi, how do i set up my iMac, iPad and iPhones so that when i delete an e-mail (or other action) from one it automatically syncs and duplicates the action on the other devices?

You need an IMAP-type email service rather than a POP-type mail service. IMAP automatically does what you want. Contact your email provider to see if they offer IMAP.

IPod wants to sync and delete, iTunes on external hard drive

hope someone can help with this
I had my iTunes on my old laptop which died about a month ago but I was able to save the hard drive which I'm using now as an external hard drive to my new laptop. my old iTunes did not have all the songs that I have on my iPod as I ran out of space so I kept only couple hundred songs.
I have installed iTunes new on my current laptop but when I want to upload songs from the new laptop onto my iPod it states that I have to sync it with the new library which only holds 50 songs and would delete all my music on the iPod.
as I wanted to open the iTunes on my old laptop/now external hard drive it says "ITunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes?"
so basically my question now is - is it possible to upload new songs onto my iPod without losing the old ones?
any help would be appreciated

*so basically my question now is - is it possible to upload new songs onto my iPod without losing the old ones?*
If you want to maintain the content of the iPod and add new content from iTunes without syncing the two, you can manage the iPod manually and simply drag the new songs onto it from your library: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
Alternatively open iTunes first and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and check the box "Disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods" and choose Ok. Then connect your iPod.
If at any point you get a message that your iPod is linked to another library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Once you are safely connected you can change the iPod to manual as per the link above.

IPad connected to Microsoft Live mail. Messages deleted in Live website do not sync and delete from iPad.

My iPad 3rd Gen running iOS 7. It is connected to Microsoft Live email, and I have it syncing 30 days of messages. I frequently use the outlook.com website to read and delete messages. When I look at my iPad inbox, the messages remain even though I have already deleted them in the website. This behaviour persists whether I am on Wi-Fi or cellular data.
Do I have a configuration set incorrectly, or is this a known issue with MS Live?

My experience is with hotmail not live mail, but might be something to look into. I had to go into the options of my hotmail and enable the ability for the device to update mail. Prior to that, I'd have to delete the same mail off my iPod and iPad, but after I enabled that I could delete off my iPod and have that reflected on my iPad.
So maybe poke around in the settings for live mail and see if there's a setting to allow your devices to delete from the server.

Firefox Sync Reset, not syncing and deleting all addons from every device

I started to notice that some of my addons were being uninstalled randomly so I decided to unlink my three devices, make sure one was a master, set up sync and then sync the other devices. However, something happened and now my quota for addons is 6.0 KB, that doesn't seem like much for addons and when I sync on any other device, replacing the data on that computer with the sync data, all addons get unistalled. I tried changing the recovery key, deleted the account and created a new account with the same email address. I am at a loss. Ideas?

I tried the suggestions at the links above but they did not work. Every time I sync, all addons are uninstalled. I have to back and undo the uninstall on all of them to keep them.

My iPad just synced and deleted all my aps. Lost about $60.00 worth! Even the backup doesn't recover! Have I lost all my purchased apps?

HT201302 If i delete photos on my iphone after they have been downloaded to my mac will they be sync and delete on my computer??? Silly question??? HELP ; )

I have connected my iphone to my mac and my photos have been transfered.... The option to delete my photos on my phone has come up....If i go ahead and delete the photos on my phone will my photos on my ipad be deleted? I guess my question is will i loose those photos in any way when i delete them from my iphone? Thanks.

It depends on what you mean by "backed to your Mac." If you have just done a backup of the phone to the Mac via iTunes, then you should NOT delete them from your phone since the only way you would be able to access the photos would be by doing a complete restore of the backup to the phone and that would wipe out anything more current on the phone.
If you copied the photos to your Mac via a USB cord as described in Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support then you can safely delete the photos from the phone. Note that you should be sure to have a good backup plan in place for your Mac so that if something were to happen to it you wouldn't lose the photos.
If the photos were sent to iPhoto via Photo Stream you can delete them from the phone if you are certain that the photos have been copied from the Shared - iCloud section of iPhoto into the Library - Events section of iPhoto. That can be done manually or you can open iPhoto and go to the menu named iPhoto > Preferences > iCloud > and insure that there is a checkmark in front of Automatic Import.

How do i add media to my iphone from another computer without syncing and deleting all the info currently on it

My iphone was synced to my old computer
How do i add content to my phone from my new computer. It says i can only be synced with one computer and it will delete everything on my phone to sync with the new computer.
This doesn't make much sense. What am i missing?

It does make sense. The iPhone is a one-person device and just syncs to one computer.
The way it should work is as follows:
Old computer content ---> New computer
New computer <---> syncs to iPhone
But the way you are trying to operate sounds like:
Old computer content ---> iPhone
... and ...
New computer content <---> iPhone
So simply move your old stuff (either directly from iTunes, or from a computer backup) to the new computer, have it all there, then sync your iPhone to the new machine.

Lightroom CC syncing and deleting across Mac, iPhone, and iPad Lightroom apps

I have searched for nearly an hour for some answers and find the Lightroom support sections massively confusing, even contradictory (example here: Adobe Lightroom on mobile FAQ In one answer it says that "Lightroom on mobile syncs original JPEG and PNG files that originate from your mobile device in the Creative Cloud" and in another question right below it says "Since Lightroom on mobile does not store your original image files, but instead syncs Smart Previews"). I need some basic questions answered around how these various platforms inter-operate [BTW, I am running latest OS and App versions across the board]:
1) Do images taken with my iPhone automatically get uploaded to Creative Cloud (CC) or not and are they at full resolution? [Seems like they sync once I open the app, but not sure of resolution. Would be good to know what is supposed to trigger the syncing, e.g., opening the app, taking the picture, etc.]
2) Once an image is uploaded to CC from the phone, and I can see it in Lightroom desktop, are changes made to the image from either device's version of Lightroom automatically synced, i.e., I will see the changes made from any device on any other device the next time I log into CC from that device? [It seems like this is the way it works, but again not sure]
3) Assuming the whole image is uploaded intact from the phone to the CC, if I delete the image in the Apple Photos app, will that in any way affect the CC cloud image? I am not deleting it from within any Lightroom app at this point -- just the native IOS app. [Does not appear to be in any way connected -- which is both good and bad -- must delete in multiple places now]
4) If I delete the photo in the CC from the desktop, does it delete the native photo on the phone as well, or do I need to delete it in both places to get rid of it entirely? [It would seem that when I delete the photo from the Lightroom iPhone app, after it has been synced, it does not delete it from the Lightroom desktop version -- I still see it there]
5) I assume videos taken with the phone are not uploaded -- is that right? [They are not loaded to the CC as best as I can tell]
6) Do the iPhone photos that get uploaded to CC end up only as preview-like images on the desktop version of Lightroom, or is the entire original resolution image downloaded to the desktop? If it is not downloaded, how do I export a full resolution, modified image from Lightroom desktop (or from the iPhone for that matter)?
7) I am not seeing any of the 25,000+ photos stored on my desktop version of Lightroom getting synced to the cloud -- isn't supposed to sync a preview image, and if so, how do I enable that? What happens to changes to that preview image made from the phone -- do they get made back on the desktop version of the image through Lightroom?
Thanks for the help. I wish Adobe made this clearer up front so as to avoid any accidental deletions and to ensure the products are interoperating the way they should.

Let me try to answer your questions.
1)
collections created within the Lr Mobile app will be automatically synced to the back-end. You can add photos manually from your camera roll or enable a collection for "Auto Add". With that all future camera shots will be automatically imported to Lr Mobile and synced
2)
correct. changes will be synced from Lr Mobile to Lr Desktop - back&forth
3) local camera roll deletion is not connected to the Cloud back-end. But be carefull that the import/sync is finished before you trigger that.
4)
as answerd before. the cloud back-end is not connected to the device camera roll
5)
video is not supported yet
7)
original resolution images will be downloaded to Lr Desktop. Preview images will be shown in the Lr Web view Adobe Lightroom
8)
when you create a collection within Lr Desktop and add your photos you would like to sync, then you can enable this collection for sync. As soon your are signed-in and start the sync (via the top left activity panel) you will notice a little checkbox beside the collection. When you check this sync start to run. Lr Deskop generates smart previews and uploads these to the back-end (plus thumbnail previews + meta-data). When you open up Lr Mobile app and you would like to make an edit, the Lr Mobile app loads the smart preview form the back-end and syncs back the meta-data or edit setting.
Hope that helps you to start.

Syncing and deleting problems

OK. i just got an itouch. and at first it didnt let me sync. i could only drag and drop my music.then i changed that, but now i have to synce all my music which takes hours and it no longer lets me drag and drop. and also now i cant delete from my ipod. can someone please help? this is quite frustrating.
thank you.

*now i have to synce all my music which takes hours and it no longer lets me drag and drop. and also now i cant delete from my ipod*
How you delete content from your iPod depends how you have it set to update:
If you are updating automatically (syncing) all songs and playlists then delete the files from the iTunes library. In the iTunes Library highlight the file and press the delete key on your keyboard. If you're updating the iPod from a selected playlist delete the song from the playlist and it will remain in the library. Next time you connect they will deleted automatically from your iPod.

Syncing and Deletion of Calendar Entries--HELP I Can't Find the Setting to Stop the Deletion of Older Calendar Appts

PLEASE HELP! It is important that I keep a history of my appointments in my Outlook calendar--regardless of age. However, whenever I sync my Tour to my desktop, all calendar items that are of a certain age are prompted for deletion.
While the Desktop Manager allows me to review the items that will be deleted, it will not allow me to remove the items from the deletion list and continue the sync function for all of the other items I need synced between my desktop and my device.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

Todd, have you "thrown the switch" to tell Palm Desktop to direct the data to Outlook?
Start Button/All Programs/Palm/PIM Conduit Sync/Sync with Outlook.
You said you're "using the Outlook 2007 Conduit" -- does this mean you installed the Outlook 2007 Update on top of Palm Desktop 6.2.2? If so, that may be a problem as 6.2.2 comes with 2007 compatibility built into it!
I have read several posts recently where a user made the same mistake, and it caused some problems. If throwing the switch above does not fix things, I'd uninstall/reinstall Palm Desktop, but do NOT install the Outlook 2007 patch.

Synced and deleted everything??

I'm sorry. I'm a PC person and I simply don't understand this and I'm about to lose it. I will resist the temptation to make jokes about the UI of itunes. Instead here are my questions...
- I sync my iPad. I add apps that I wanna send to my iPad. I already have a bunch of things on my iPad. Syncing ends, I get a notice that iPad couldn't sync because there was a disconnection error. There was no disconnection. I disconnect my iPad. ALL my apps are gone. ALL of them. Question is WHY?
- Backing up my iPad was running for 35 minutes and had gotten about 5% done. Again...why?
- Finally, what is the concept behind this whole syncing thing? I just don't understand. Ho does this work? Someone please explain the idea of syncing to me, I simply don't understand how this is supposed to be done. To me copying would be logical from A to B. I'm not trying to be facetious or difficult, I simply don't understand. Why would I want my computer to be the same as my iPad?
I'm sorry if these are PC noob questions, but I thought thi was supposed to be so much easier than any other computer. Please help.

Just my opinion but downloading and managing apps is much simpler if iTunes is used, I download the required app's, connect the iPad or iPhone select the apps tab here I can select or deselect the apps I want on the iPad by ticking the box by the app, I can also rearrange where the apps appear on the various pages by dragging them to the required page.
If your apps have gone missing look in iTunes and make sure you have the box ticked and perform a sync.
I find iTunes excellent for managing my apps, some little used apps can be put on when needed and then removed, note not deleted ! until next needed, also you can manage your apps with iPad, iPhone, iPod all from the same program, when you plug in a different device you get the opportunity to manage your apps as described above, iTunes supports quite a few different devices, I manage, my wife's phone, my son's phone, my phone, my iPod and my iPad all from the same program, iTunes is smart enough to recognise each device and allows me to manage each one differently as required.

Syncing and deletion

a few days ago i had connected my iphone to my laptop and as per usual i had some bits that needed syncing but then for some reason a whole load of games and music i had bought all got deleted and my iphone reset it self to stuff i had previously taken off i.e. music videos that i didnt want on there and other music tracks that i didnt want how could this happen?

Are you using photo stream? If so, on the PC be sure to move photos out of the photo stream folder and into some other location. That will protect the pictures. You can then delete them from the devices.

BT Cloud - file sync and deletion.

Hi there,
I have 50gb free and am thinking of upgrading, but it's not clear whether this is an additional 50GB or 100G (i.e. will I have 150Gb or just 100 if I upgrade?).
Also, I use 2 computers a mac and a pc, so need to understand - does BTcloud work like dropbox? For example, once I have uploaded files from one computer can I easily download them to another, and can I select which files/folders to sync?
I want to upload all my photos and then delete them from my harddrives as they are taking up loads of space. How do I make sure that they dont get deleted when it syncs? Do I need to store them to a special folder?
Also, how secure is BT Cloud? Can you guarantee that files are safe and not accessible to others?
Thanks
Abby

Lots of issues with cloud: doubtful it is worth it even for the free part, certainly not worth paying for.
Becuase of the way syncing works there is no way for cloud to hold data you don't hold on a computer somewhere.
There used to be with web uploads, but they removed that bit and replaced it with a sync.
Buy an external hard drive, 150GbB will only take up a small amount of the smallest sensible new drives (1TB).
It is probably secure enought for photos.
If you don't mind a resolution drop to 2048 on the larger side, and probably some slightly harsh compression, Picasa/Google Drive will store as many photos as you like for free.
