TS1627 Any ideas on how to reset sync services on OSX Mavericks?
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627 holds no answers. The reset script sited for Mountain Lion doesn't exist for Mavericks.
Thanks, GabrielHay. That's much clearer, now.
I already use iCloud, and I'm looking for the iCloud equivalent of SyncServices (or something other than the suggestions I've found, so far, that will reset iCloud sync). That's what it seemed you were looking for: a way to reset sync in Mavericks, as opposed to a way to sync in Maverics. (Essentially.)
So again, thanks.
That said, there's no evidence that Apple has ever "mined" clients' data or would even care to. You're free, of course, to not like the idea of syncing via Apple's servers. But to suggest that Apple "chose to switch off SyncCervices" in order to "give themselves a bigger database of client data to mine" is simply unfounded.
I'm always amused at the notion that despite Apple having hundreds of millions of customers, a given individual is somehow convinced that Apple would care about his data.
Apple doesn't care about your calendar. Or your contacts. Seriously.
Think of the many thousands of celebrities and dignitaries who use Apple products. If Apple were paying any attention to their data, let alone doing anything with it, the revolt and backlash would be legendary. I personally know many people who have the contact info for hundreds of celebrities and such in their Apple Contacts and Calendar apps, and not one breach has ever, ever occurred.
Consider the unfortunate security breach that Target sustained, last week. It's been all over the news, every single day, for nearly a week. If Apple were doing anything of the sort, no one would stand for it. No one! Apple has far too much to lose to do something stupid like that. And to what end? So they can see where a user's having dinner? Or what time his staff meeting is? Even a celebrity's calendar is pointless. What good would it do Apple to know that Charlize Theron's having lunch with Ewan McGregor. None.
You seem like an intelligent guy. If you think through what you're proposing, you'll realize Apple would stand to gain nothing by doing what you suspect -- and in fact would stand to lose everything.
Thanks again for the clarification. And best of luck!

HT3275 I forgot my Time Machine password. Any ideas on how to reset or recover?
Any thoughts on how to reset my Time Machine password?
Exactly which password are you referring to?
People often use Time Machine and Time Capsule interchangeably.. but one is software and the other is hardware.
Time Capsule password can be recovered or reset without difficulty.. Time Machine in later encrypted version.. no, the backup is rendered useless as Kappy says. There is no point having a password if there is a backdoor.
Apple clearly warns if you encrypt a backup.. do not lose the password.
See pink box at the bottom here.

I have an iPhone 4s. The email I need to use is completely locked because Windows believed someone else was trying to use my account (another reason Windows and I don't seem to get along). Anyway, I think my little sister may have accidentally clicked "Forgot my Password" while trying to download an app on my iPad that was under the same ID. So, an email was sent to my old hotmail account that is lockedried unlocking it, but the alternate email that was listed was an old one of my moms and she can't remember what her username was. I tried answering security questions on my Apple ID to maybe get my password to reset that way, but - since I made this account when I was about 12 or 13 - I can't even begin to remember what the answers to the security questions are. (And before anyone gets on a pedestal about how I was too young to be doing something like this, I did have parent supervision and wanted something like this of my own, so lets stick to the ACTUAL problem). So, main problem here. I now have about 30 app updates that are under an account I basically have no access to. I've deleted the apps from my home screen and tried downloading them with my new Apple ID, but it shows as if it's stored in the cloud and will only let me download it from the old Apple ID. Is there any possible way to dissociate my apps from my old ID and associate them with my newer one WITHOUT completely resetting my phone?
You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them. -
I think I just need a hard reboot to clean out all the junk on this phone. Without any manuals or any real useful info online from apple on older phones this is my only real outlet.
Try to set it back to factory settings, explained in this article:

I have duplicates of a song on an album. One of the duplicates is grey with no album cover. When you attempt to swite and delete, the track will not delete and will not even play. I've contacted iTunes store and the person I received the support email from told me that it may not be downloaded. I emailed him back and explained that no there is no download for that song in my itunes store on my phone.
One I never received an answer back which shows you how well these people do their job.
Two: I really would prefer to have a solution to this problem without having to delete all of my music from my phone or resetting my phone. Because this duplicate isn't even showing up in my iTunes, it's only showing up on my phone.
When I attempt to find it in my itunes it plays fine. But when I try to find the file to delete it, it is no where to be found. I've tried everything that I could think of to get rid of it. And I don't want to leave the album/artist off my phone because I do enjoy their music... And I have the microsoft sync in my car.
Anyone got any ideas on how to do this without resetting the phone and/or taking my music off?If you have all your music on the cmputer then i would connect up my phone uncheck the Sync Music option and apply.
This should take all the music off your phone .Then you can resync the music back on to it.
If this doesn't work maybe a restore to factory settings and start from scratch is the way to go -
My iPhone 4s shuts down at least once a day, usually after I used it or when I'm not using it at all. It will not turn back on unless I reset it (by pressing home/power buttons) and when it turns back on, it runs like nothing happened. I have tried everything I can think of, update iPhone software, iTunes software, troubleshoot on Apple's Support page and reading other user's issues but I haven't seen anything similar. I erased and restore factory settings several times, made different backup attempts and even restored from recovery mode with iTunes. Everything goes great, no error message or anything unusual, until phone is off again, very frustrating. It doesn't seem to have a pattern to it, it happened when no apps were running as well as when a few apps were. The only thing I can think of is I haven't seen this happening when charger cable is plugged it. I don't really care about apps and content on the phone, but my contacts and voicemails are the only reason why I absolutely have to restore from backup, even after setting up a new phone, from iTunes. Other than that phone is brand new, battery is also great, nothing wrong with it (apparently).
I would like to know if somebody knows what this could be, and any ideas on how to fix it. Thank you.Start with this comprehensive troubleshooting article:

On my PC, in I-Tunes, the iPod (touch) button disappears every time I try to sync or update. Everything has been rebooted, but no changes. Any ideas on how to sync to the IPod? Better yet, how to keep the ipod button on screen when itunes is open and the ipod is connected?
- Have you tried another USB port and cable?
- Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic. -

I've been working on our church website and all of a sudden this week, my computer will not connect to the site. I keep getting a message saying that the the connection to the server was reset while the page was loading. Does anyone have any ideas of how I can fix this?
The "The connection was reset" error message can be caused by a bug fix for the BEAST (Browser Exploit Against SSL/TLS) attack that the server doesn't handle.
