Trying to sync for the first time to my ipad. device not shown on leftside. i want to sync photos using iphoto.

trying to sync photos from macbook pro to ipad, first time. What do i do if no device is shown even though it's plugged in, etc?

Thanks, Jim. I finally got it all to work after I closed iTunes on both machines, unplugged the iPad, and started from scratch. To anyone else having this problem, if you hit the wrong thing for "device", it disappears totally.

Tried synching iphone for the first time on new PC and got error followed by itunes logo and USB cable picture. No idea what went wrong and now phone is in this screen locked. please help!

tried synching iphone for the first time on new PC and got error followed by itunes logo and USB cable picture. No idea what went wrong and now phone is in this screen locked. please help!

I tried connecting to iTunes and neither the PC nor iTunes recognizes the device. I went through all the troubleshooting on the Apple website for this issue and nothing worked. I've reinstalled iTunes, the driver, everything and still can't get either the PC or iTunes to recognize the phone. I don't know what else to do :-( any help or suggestions are highly appreciated!
I would hate to have lost all my info, especially contacts and calendar items since I have no idea what was backed up prior to the phone getting locked on this screen. I've been told that my only option is to go to the phone carrier and they will reset it for me, but that means it will wipe out all the info.
I hope someone has a fix other than that one.

Does Roaming data syncs for the first time when app data are in download and installation process?

Hi,
I will store user Id in "HighPriority" Roaming data. When user will install app in another computer (with the same Microsoft Account), app will get user Id from Roaming data. Then I can implement all data sync over my cloud service.
There are 2 scenarios:
1. User downloads and installs app in another computer, but roaming data syncs/downloads for the first time only after several minutes -
It's bad for my app :(
2. User downloads and installs app in another computer and roaming data syncs/downloads at the same time (then I can get user Id immediately)
- Its great for my app :)
Which scenario is real in practice?

Umm no not that i remember. It just randomly started happening. I reformatted the hard drive for mac (journaled) but it was working fine since i did it until now

My PC thinks my new ipad2 is a camera when syncing for the first time - any suggestions - I have updated the latest Itunes version 10.5 and rebooted by PC and still a problem

By new Ipad 2 wont sync for the first time to my pc - I have rebooted my pc and updated itunes with version 10.5 - my pc thinks my ipad 2 is a camera - very frustrating any suggestions?

Itis normal and expected for the compuer to see the iPod as a camera. That is how you get phots taken and saved to the iPod off the iPod. To get iTunes to see the iPod:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

[SOLVED] Trying out scripting for the first time... confused...

ok so here is the script that I have started
echo 'This is a custom updater app written by Daniel Schneider'
echo "Check for updates now? (y/n)"
read answer
if [ "$answer" = "y" ]; then
sudo pacman -Syy
sudo pacman -Syu
read
fi
if [ "$answer" = "n" ]; then
exit
fi
but when ran, pacman reports another package manager running when that is not true. Here is the output exactly..
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed to init transaction (unable to lock database)
if you're sure a package manager is not already
running, you can remove /var/lib/pacman/db.lck
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed to init transaction (unable to lock database)
if you're sure a package manager is not already
running, you can remove /var/lib/pacman/db.lck
So how do I fix this bug in my script?
ps. I know this script is kinda silly just messing around with "coding" for the first time

Not sure if this is true
but instead of
sudo pacman -Syy
sudo pacman -Syu
try
sudo pacman -Syy && sudo pacman -Syu
If I'm not mistaken the reason why is giving that error is because you are trying to do sudo pacman -Syy and sudo pacman -Syu at same time which is impossible . I think with a && first will do the first comand and only when this is over will run the second.

Husband got everything when sync for the first time... Help

I sync my husband iphone for the first time to my computer. I already had sync my iphone a long time ago. Some how he got all my apps and outlook calendar along with his stuff. What can I do to fix this? He doesn't want my stuff and I don't want his. How can I fix it so we have separate but on the same computer. The computer show two different iphone with our name.

When you copy all of your data from old computer to new computer (inluding entire /Music/iTunes folder), it will sync just fine.
It won't even erase the iPhone.

Is it okay to use your new iPod Touch before charging it for the first time? I did and then listened to it while charging and syncing. Thanks

Just got the 5G Touch. I turned it on and was using the camera and stuff before I charged it for the first time. Then while charging, I listened to the music I was syncing through the speakers. This okay? I remember reading to always charge full before ever doing anything on them. Doesnt say anything in the startup manual though.
Thanks guys.

Should be OK. Just make sure that the iPod is charging.

Bug when trying to commit for the first time

I have a bug that I tried to solve but can't find any solution till now.
I have a table that contains many rows and from this table I can press edit or add to open a new page that I can edit or add a new record for this view
the page that contains the table has execute with parameter as I open this table from another page
the problem is that the first time I go to this page ('that contains the table')
and I try to edit or add a new record and press save the form save correctly but clear itselt and fields appear as read only fields "the for doesn't save its state"
but if I press roll back for example and go to form the contains the table and come back to add or edit a record the page works correctly with no problem.
how can I fix this.

No there is nothing in this page
but the page I call this page from (parent Page) have execute with param on the page binding.
I added commit to the parent page and added call to this commit on Prepare Modle .
and this fixed my issue but I don't know till now why this issue appeared to me .
any one knows why this happened.

Cannot sync for the first time, please help

I'm using 3-G4 units, two will sync 1 will not. The one that will not is a G3 B|W unit that I upgraded to a G4 Processor 500 MHz After giving this unit a different name than the others,I can see all three computers in the isync window but when I press sync it starts but stops right away not completing the sync.
G3-B|W Upgrade to G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) 500MHz proc,650HD,

It has died. Like a million times. It won't stay recognized long enough to charge. do you know what I mean? Meaning, I'll get the little icon that means there's very low battery, and it's charging, then after a few minutes, it will say "no battery power, connect ipod to power"
And I've tried an adapter that lets you plug it into a wall, and that doesn't work either. I do have an ipod clock radio, tho with a dock... I'll try that tomorrow. If that doesn't work,I might buy her one, because I feel responsible for this. But you don't care about that XD
Thanks for the help

Ipod won't sync for the first time ever. I am also seeing the cloud for the first time. Help.

Windows 7 operating system. Ipod classic.
Added new content tonight (audio book discs - have done dozens of times before). Went to sync. Nothing doing. Tried two different cables. Noticed that what I added was put in the cloud. I had never seen the cloud before. I cannot get back to the regular library.
Usually when I sync, content on my device that is no longer in the library (in this case the cloud, I gues) is also deleted from the device. That isn't happening. I don't think things are syncing at all.
It would seem to me that it would not be the cloud that would sync, but the regular library, which I cannot seem to access.
Help

I have tried the suggestion to reset the sync log to no avail. Anyone have another idea? This just started after I downloaded 4.3.5.

I just setup sync for the first time. Now everytime I load firefox a tab called "Your First Sync" will open, or it will load during an internet session...???

Just installed firefox sync on firefox 18.0...ran the first sync, and now whenever I load firefox, or in several minutes of continuing using firefox, a tab called "Your First Sync" appears...even after closing firefox or the tab. Wondering if I can get some support on this. Thanks

This may be a problem with preference that aren't saved properly.
If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:

HT1386 i bought a new iphone and im trying to sync for the first time. Do I restore from the backup of my old phone or set up from my new iphone

any thoughts

If you want to restore the settings and data from your old phone to your new one, restore from the backup of your old phone (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109). You will still have to sync with iTunes to transfer apps, music, and other iTunes media back to your phone.

Error message when syncing for the first time

Sorry if this has already been brought up...
When I first sync my iPhone 3G with my MacBook Pro I get the following message:
"Attempting to copy to the disk "Bob's iPhone" failed. This disk could not be read from or written to."
I have tried completely restoring my iPhone 3G and then re-syncing... still not working.
Anybody else getting this message?

The plist files simply record your user preferences for an application - your choice of default font, say, or the colour of the background, that sort of stuff. If this files is damaged or corrupted it can affect the app in all sorts of ways. When you trash it the app will create a new one when you next start it, and that will be the "factory defaults", but at least it will work.
To trash the fie:
Go to HD / Users / Your Name / Library / Preferences and find the com.apple.iphoto.plist fie, and put it in the trash.
Then start iPhoto.

I cannot get my airport router to talk to my service provider modem. I know the modem works as I can hook my laptop direct to the modem and it is ok.
How can I test my Airport router.

From reading Vista forums support for SSD is one of the things Vista SP2 and Windows 7 hope (need) to improve upon. I was in a similar discussion once befoe on SSDs:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rls=com.microsoft%3Aen-US&q=IntelSSDVista
I don't think it is EFI issue, but with XP and drivers, lack, and wonder if you can try with Vista?

That won't solve performance issues, but should work.

"My guess is that [Samsung and Microsoft] are maybe working on the OS recognizing an SSD with a 4K-byte sector size instead of a hard disk drive with a 512-byte sector size," Wong said.
Sun is already working with Samsung to bulk up SSD support on the ZFS (Zettabyte File System), which is included in the Solaris OS, and will also be supported in Apple's upcoming Mac OS X 10.6, codenamed Snow Leopard. Sun is adding capabilities to boost the durability and performance of SSDs on ZFS-based operating systems. For example, Sun may add defragmentation capabilities for SSDs, which organizes data in a particular order to enable quicker data access.
SSDs were not considered ideal for defragmentation because of limited read-and-write capabilities, Wong said. However, Samsung and Sun in July jointly announced an 8G-byte SSD that bumped up durability from 100,000 read-and-write cycles to 500,000. That brings defragmentation in SSDs closer to reality, which could improve its caching and provide quicker access to data. Sun plans to put SSDs into storage products later this year.
