Syncing through the cord erased calender on iPhone
Hello! I am trying to fix my boss' problem because he thinks I am a computer techie (since I know more than he and I own an iMac at home, this may be true for him). Anyway, I have to go fix his problem today and I am looking for advice about what to do.
From what I understand at this point, he has MobileMe that has been syncing his iPhone, iMac and MacBook. He recently started hooking the phone up through a cord to the computer (I assume the iMac) and tried syncing that way. As soon as it did, all his calender entries on the iPhone were deleted and some apps he downloaded disappeared as well. His published business calender has not disappeared, but actually seems to have merged with his personal calender so we can see other appointments. Wierd.
I will, of course, first try to manually sync through MobileMe to re-establish the calender. However, if this does not work OR it erases again when he syncs with the cord, I need to know what to try next. Any assistance would be awesome! I so rely on his published calender to know when I will work with him, and if it keep deleting, he won't use it! (Worst case scenario for me.)
THANKS!
You needed to have at least one unique entry on the computer before you synced. Then you would have gotten the option to merge.
Assuming you have been syncing you iphone regularly, you could try restoring from the last back up that itunes made. This may restore your info.

How do I connect my MacBook pro to the Internet through the 3G server on my iPhone?
Does anyone know how to connect my MacBook pro to the Internet through the 3G server on my iPhone?
There is a service called Personal Hotspot that uses your iPhone's connection to share with other devices. You will need to sign up for this service through your carrier. Good luck

I use the "Tripit" travel app on both my iPhone and iPad2. While I have no problem getting my Tripit info synced to the Gmail Calendar on my iPhone, I am unable to get Tripit to sync to the Gmail calendar on my iPad, even though the setup information (email address, settings, etc.) are exactly the same. I know that Tripit is installed correctly on the iPad, as I am able to go to that app directly and correctly see all of my info. However, even though I've set up the secondary "Tripit" calendar feed (to Gamil) on the iPad, it's not synchronizing and showing up. Is anyone else having this problem?
All I had to do was complain. I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store. I have no idea why.

I purchased about 5 or 6 movies not that long ago on my iPad, but once I went to sync them with my computer (through the cable), 2 of them didnt sync (21 Jump Street and Driver), is there any solution to this?
Are you using iTunes Match? If so, try keeping it working on your computer but turning it off on your iPad (in Settings > Music).

How do i get pdf through the email app on an iphone?
A customer of mine was griping that he can't get a pdf file to open on his iphone.
so i sent him image files to try. All files are small of course.
I thought he was just a whiner, but i tested it, and I also cannot get pdf files or jpeg files to mail to my own phone.
the pdf doesn't even show up to download or anything. and the image screenclips emails aren't even received.
Is this something that the iphone just can't do? seems kind of basic.If you scroll to the bottom of the eMail, it should be there in a little icon. Otherwise you may have a problem with your eMail host.

I'm afraid I'll delete one or the other if I don't do it properly.
Assuming you are using iTunes 11.1:
Connect your iPhone to your computer.
In iTunes towards the upper right of your screen you will see the name of your iPhone. Click on it (not the eject symbol.
This will open a series of windows with tabs.
Select the tab for photos.
Untick the ones you do not want on your iPhone and at the bottom right click on Apply.
They will be removed. -
How to limit the number of emails synced through the Mail app?
The Mail app is syncing all of my emails... even those that are like from than a year ago and older... I don't need them, I'd rather get rid of them and free up some storage space if possible.. The Mail app is currently taking around 5GB of my storage space!!! please help?!
You can't limit it to the last 50 messages, but you can limit it to the last 1000 messages in each "folder" (label).
Go to the Gmail website and click on the gear icon to the top-right side.
Click on Settings.
Click on the "Forwarding and IMAP/POP" tab across the top of the Settings area.
Towards the bottom of the IMAP section, change the "Folder Size Limit" setting to "Limit IMAP folders to contain no more than this many messages". By default 1000 is selected, though you can also choose 2000, 5000, or 10000.
Click Save Changes at the bottom. -

Can you build and create a resume through the adobe reader from a iPhone or iPad?
Trying to figure if a resume can be built or created on adobe reader from iPhone or iPad?
Mrs. Perrin,
I'm afraid that you don't understand what Adobe Reader does. It's a PDF viewer. It views PDF files created in other programs.
You would need to build a resume in a program like Microsoft Word, Pages, InDesign, etc. Then you'd create a PDF file in one of those programs and you could view it on an iPhone or iPad using Adobe Reader. -

I can't sync my iPhone and back up my data with my computer because iTunes says to enter the passcode into my iPhone to unlock it, but I am unable to unlock and enter in my passcode on my iPhone because the screen is shattered. I have my replacement iPhone with me and I'm not going to activate it until I can sync/get the data from my broken iPhone. I have the envelope to send my broken iPhone back to the Verizon store or whatever so that's not a problem. I just can't sync my old iPhone with my computer.
Thanks.No I haven't synced my iPhone with the computer I'm currently using. The computer that I normally sync my iPhone with is being repaired.
I read a nearly identical question to mine (in which you answered) and I found my the answer. Thanks!
Now I have a few more questions: If I mail my broken iPhone to Asurion, will I be able to get my data off of my iPhone once Asurion has it? And what will happen to my old iPhone and the data on it if I activate my replacement iPhone? Will my broken iPhone just become de-activated and will the data be erased or lost or something? Could I still sync it (with the computer ir originally synced with) and back up the data?
Thanks. -
My phone died randomly and prompted me to plug it in and open itunes. When I did that it took me through the steps to restore my iphone. Now all of my contacts are gone as well as any text messages since May 19th (since my last sync), and most of my apps. How do I get it back to the way it was before?
Restore it from a back up. But I understand your last one is may 19 th...
