What does "Synchronize" mean when it appears in the history steps?

I think this is new in V5 because I've never seen it before. What does the word "synchronize" mean when it appears in a history step? I do not recall the exact phrase because I cannot reproduce the conditions under which it appeared. Having said that I do not want it to happen again because it caused me to have to delete and re-import a whole batch of photos (in order to start over).
I was editing some newly imported photos when I began to notice this "synchronize" message appearing in their history steps, and that edits were being applied to the wrong photos even though "auto sync" was NOT in effect. (only one photo was selected). In any event, auto sync does not cause this message (I just tested it). Does anyone know what function might have caused this?
(It is difficult to search the web for this issue because all the hits relate to auto-sync)

The history step says what, exactly?
I find a "Synchronize Settings" history entry but not a "Synchronize"

What does it means when you turn on the macbook and a file with a "?" mark flashes?

What does it means when you turn on the macbook and a file with a "?" mark flashes?

It usually means some system files are missing or corrupted. Reinstalling OS X is the fix:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

What does it mean when you get a "The iTunes library file cannot be saved. There is not enought memory available." ? And what can I do to correct it?

Well, I installed the latest iTunes this AM, works perfectly. Although for some reason it did lock up after playing a song today.
Horror stories? That's a bit overly dramatic.
No, it isn't.
The issue you are experiencing is one that has occurred in multiple versions of iTunes, a simple search would have revealed this.
A simple search was conducted, no one seemed to have an answer. Do you always adopt such a haughty attitude? Or was I just lucky.

Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

HT4101 What does it mean when it says that the USB device requires too much power?

What does it mean when it says that the USB device requires too much power, when using the ipad lightening pin camera connection kit?

Just that. The iPad allocates a certain amount of power to that port. If the device you're trying to plug in wants more than the iPad is willing to give, it'll trigger that warning.
If it's something that you just must hook up you can try using a powered USB hub, but results are mixed at best.
What are you trying to hook to your iPad?

What does "maximum " mean when it appears onscreen

I have been using Pages to take notes for classes for a while now. Today the word "maximum" started appearing overtop of all my documents, new and old. It's very distracting and multiple google searches provide no information as what this is supposed to mean, nor any idea of how to get rid of it. The word itself visually resembles the word count feature when it is turned on.

The history step says what, exactly?
I find a "Synchronize Settings" history entry but not a "Synchronize"

What does it mean when boxes appear around commands on the ipad

Occasioally on my ipads, framed boxes appear around all the commands. They won't let me swipe, I have to click on them twice. Why does this happen and how do I make it stop?

Try triple-click on Home button (do it quick).

what does it mean when i turn on my mini wi fi i pad and it shws a microphone and lightening coming out from it and nothing else is able to be brought up??

I think that you are seeing the lightning bolt and the lightning connector on the screen. That means that you have to plug the iPad into a wall socket using the power adapter becuse the battery is too low to charge using your computer.
Look at the photos on this website and not the one under the Connect to Power heading.

What does it mean when I get a message that says You do not have enough access privileges for this operation

To be honest I'd be very tempted to ring Applecare and explain that prior to downloading iOS5 your iPod Touch worked perfectly however since downloading Apple's new iOS5 it's "bricked" therefore can they as a matter of decency try to help put things right warranty situation notwithstanding. Afterall it does appear to be one of Apple's products that has broken your previously working iPod Touch.

In iBooks,what does it mean when it says: you have already purchased this item. To download it check available downloads in the store menu?

In iBooks,what does it mean when it says: you have already purchased this item. To download it check available downloads in the store menu?

Apologies if I seem rude but isn't it obvious?
you have already purchased this item means you have already purchased this item - you don't need to buy it, you've already bought it.
To download it check available downloads in the store menu means to download it check available downloads in the store menu. So if you look at your top menu bar (in your iTunes programme) select the Store and from the menu that appears, select Check for available downloads. My guess (and I realise I'm risking my reputation here ) is that when you click on that, you will see a list of the items you've bought which will include anything you haven't yet downloaded to your iTunes. I assume there will be an option with that list to download those items.
I would like to thank the person who thought of the idea of taking different words and putting them in a certain order, so that those words form a sentence, and that sentence can then be read by other people and those people understand. Genius!

If you are getting that message when you try to sync your iPad, eject the iPad, quit iTunes, restart your computer, reset the iPad and then try to sync again.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that doesn't work, just try using a different USB port.
