Syncing photos: any way to avoid v. long "optimizing" process?

I posted this on the iPad syncing forum, but got no responses. Can anyone help?
OP:
I'm sure this has been asked before, but I could not find a definitive answer, even with Googling:
I want to transfer just 2 dozen photos to my iPad. But iTunes insists on optimizing my entire photo collection (700 images) before it will sync them. As the optimization process seems to take +/- 20 secs per photo, this is going to be a very long process.
Is there a way to avoid this? Even if it means moving the photos on my PC to another location? Right now, I've told it to sync only 2 sub folders in the My Pictures folder. Yet it insists on optimizing every sub folder and picture in there.
Very annoying.

Try exporting the photos to a folder on your hard drive and then see if you can sync *just that folder* of photos rather than an event or album in the library. That's what we do, sync a specific folder of photos on the Mac, and it completes very quickly. Our iPhoto library is not involved in the process at all.

Guide me for any way to avoid manual update for processing data package

Hi sap gurus,
I am new to SAP BI. In my project everyday I have to manually update for processing data packets for an infocube. Can you tell me why it happens that some time data get stuck and we have to do manual update? Is there any possible solution to avoid or correct that? Can we make some kind of Process chains that automatically do these things?
Please reply..as it is very irritating to do same thing everyday..
-Thanks in advance.

We have program RSARFCEX, which can execute all of them in one go.
But you can not schedule it in process chain, as you will never know when TRFC will struck. So it will execute without anything if there is no TRFC struck.

HT4137 Will doing this erase old text messages? If so, is there any way to avoid losing them?

I just looked read iOS: How to back up your data and set up as a new device. I've been having a few bugs, but do not want to lose my old text messages. Will setting up as a new device and then syncing erase old text messages? If so, is there any way to avoid losing them?

You will not lose text message, if you back up your phone correctly and then restore from that backup. If your going to restore your phone as new and not from backup, then your text will not be there until you decide to restore from that backup.
If you don't want to lose the message, take a look in the app store to see if you can transfer to your computer.

First, you can install Microsoft's Security Essentials in the Win 7 VM and keep it up-to-date. Second, you can turn off Sharing in Fusion's System Settings to keep the VM environment separate from your Mac. Third, you can look into Sophos Anti-Virus http://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/free-tools/sophos-antivirus-for-mac-home-ed ition/download.aspx for the Mac host.

Photoshop Elements 13, the iTunes "Sync Photos from Photoshop Elements" feature no longer works

Photoshop Elements 13, the iTunes "Sync Photos from Photoshop Elements" feature no longer works??? Is had worked with photoshop 9 pretty good? how can I enable this feature?
thx. francisco

I am experiencing the same problem after upgrading to PSE13, but haven't found a solution yet.
TomWoodbridge proposes a workaround, see Re: iTunes Photo Sync with PhotoShop Elements Fails after PSE Update
Another permanent workaround (which doesn't require to copy the pse database every time you want to sync) is described here: Elements 13: Cannot synchronise photo albums in iTunes after upgrading from Elements 11
Hope this helps.

Any way to avoid duplication of saved pictures?

Hi.
In my windows pc, when i saved a picture during browsing that already existed in my pictures folder, it gave me a prompt for replacement. However, in apple ipad, no such prompt is given and the picture is saved again as a duplicate. Any way to avoid this? I have tons of duplicates now on the ipad consuming unncessary space.
Thanks for help.

Thanks for the answer.
In windows pc, i could re arrange pictures with sort order 'Size'. In that way, duplicates since of exactly same size were lumped together and this easy to delete.
I could try manually deleting in ipad, but the duplicates are not adjacent and the pictures are more than 10,000 in the folder now. Any option to sort as per size?
Thanks for help.

Any way to avoid the hit on the TEMP tablespace?

I'm running a CTAS query that unions 13 tables with about 7,000,000 rows each, inner joins that union again against a global temporary table with 13 rows, and then doing a GROUP BY against the result, summing about 6 fields. The resulting query runs in about 2 hours with about a 16 Gig hit on the TEMP tablespace.
In production I will need to join 52 tables with about that many rows against a GTT with 52 rows. I haven't experimented with it yet but I'm guessing the time and memory increase will be linear (i.e. 8 hours, 64 Gig hit).
I'm being asked if there's any way to avoid the hit on the TEMP tablespace. It was suggested that I look into using a materialized view, but won't that just transfer the hit from the harddrive to the RAM? I don't think this particular database has 64 Gigs of RAM dedicated to it, and I'm sure the row counts will grow in the future anyway.
Thoughts?
Thanks
Joe

I don't have visibility to the TEMP tablespace on their database so I don't know if the hit there is any less.
If you have privileges you can use SQL*PLUS autotrace (or possibly Oracle trace, if you're really that interested) to get run-time statistics on a query as you run it. Waiting for the 2-hour results will be a bit tedious though. If you don't have privileges for autotrace it won'r work; the error messages explain what's wrong rather well ;)

Any way to avoid adjusting the ring volume?

Any way to avoid adjusting the ring volume? Don't know how but after using the phone for a day or two, the ring volume is adjusted. Is it because I adjust the volume of iPod or other apps. Is there a way to fix the ring volume at a constant level and won't be changed until actually changing the ring volume setting itself?
Anyone?
Thanks
Gaston

The ring volume is seperate from the iPod or 3rd party apps volume. You can have these at seperate levels. As a test, I made sure the ringer volume is at 100%. I started playing a song and lowered the iPod volume to 50%. I stopped the song and checked the ringer volume which remained at 100%.
There is no lock setting for this. If you adjust the volume when not using the iPod or when not playing a 3rd party app, it will adjust the ringer volume.

Any way to avoid the dreaded activation fee?

"Activation fee" my little finger. This charge always annoys me. I know it will be waived for businesses; any way to avoid it for individual plans?

Ask at an AT&T store. My guess is that they won't waive it, though.

HT1766 When I have iCloud Backup ON, the battery runs down on my iphone really quickly. Is there any way of avoiding this ? Thanks

When I have iCloud Backup ON, the battery runs down on my iphone really really quickly. Is there any way of avoiding this. I want to backup my iphone but don't want to be recharging all day. Many thanks

Are you sure the iCloud backup is causing this? Unless you initiate an iCloud backup manually, it will only back up once per day when the phone is connected to your charger and wi-fi and has the screen locked. It shouldn't otherwise be consuming any power.

My old harddrive died, I got a brand new one, and I'm trying to put more music onto my ipod without it trying to sync and delete my old music currently on it. Is there any way to avoid this?

as topic implies, I still have all the music from my old harddrive on here. I would like to...well...keep it, obviously, so I'm trying to find a way to add it to my iphone without it murdering the rest of my music because it has to sync it. I've tried checking off manually syncing music and such and when I click apply, it tries to remove everything off.
any way around this or do I have to use another program of sorts?

Yes. I have no personal experience with this, but it is possible to recover your music from an iPod. See this link: http://guides.macrumors.com/Recovering_Songs_from_an_iPod

Why does syncing photos with my iPad take so long even if the photos on my Mac haven't changed?

Whenever I sync my iPad (1st generation) with my Mac/iTunes, everything syncs fine, but the syncing of the photos takes forever - even if none of the photos has changed on my Mac. Is this normal? Anyone else experiencing long sync times? Is there any way to tell the iPad or Mac to not bother re-syncing existing photos that haven't changed (just do a delta?) Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Support Discussions.
Considering OS X is extremely stable I don't think there is something Apple needs to address. However there very well could be an issue with your set up. One of the common issues is if you live in a suburban area you may be competing for bandwidth for wi-fi with your neighbors. Most wi-fi routers are use channel's 5 & 6 as their default channels and most people never change them. Where I less I no less than 15 wi-fi networks within range so I changed my channel. You can download and use iStumbler (Google it) and it will tell you what networks are within range and what channel each is using. There are about 11 channels so then it's just a matter of changing your router's channel. If you are using a Airport Extreme or Airport Express you can use Airport Utility to do this, if you are using another router then locate instructions for how to change channels.
Another possiblity is your ISP could be causing the problem by using DNS settings that create problems. I use Comcast as my ISP (if you're not familiar with them, they're huge!) and was forced to change mine. Here is an article from MacWorld that explains the problem and how to fix it.

Is there any way to avoid rebuilding my iPhone 4 every 6 weeks when "OTHER" fills up my memory?

I am sick of rebuilding my iphone 4 every 6 weeks: setting up as a new phone, installing the apps again, reconfiguring them, rearranging them how I like them.
It's a pain in the behind and a very good advertisement for Android at the moment.
Is there a way to stop this from happening?
It's to the point now that I call each build as "My iPhone (build YYYYMMDD)". So today's fresh install underway is Build 20120324. The last one was 20120214.
The best Apple "support" could offer was to rebuild as a new iPhone each time.
So, with "Other" growing in 6 weeks from <1GB to 5.3 today (when it filled my phone's memory), is there any way to stop this?
My crappy, free, cheap Android tablet never has this problem!
GEF.

If you're restoring your phone so often, I'm minded to think it's something to do with one or more of the Apps and not the phone/iOS itself, (it's unlikely you'd get the same bug everytime).
Use your phone for a few days and make a note of long it takes for 'other' to build. Then restore as new but this time only sync the apps you really need. Again, make a note of long it takes for 'other' to build.
Maybe a process of elimination will tell?
