What exactly does iTunes photo sync do?

Using Win7.
I have iTunes set to sync photos with my iPhone. I have designated a folder called "iPhone" under "My Pictures" folder. When I sync my iPhone the photos in Camera Roll do not go onto my computer.
I do realize that I am able to use other software to move the images from the iPhone to the computer - I can even use Windows explorer and just click and drag them. It would be nice if iTunes did that for me - like it sync's everything else.
So what is the purpose of iTune Photo Sync if it does not ingest the photos from my phone?
I read the manual, but to no resolution.
Thank You,
Joe

iTunes data is not synced. iTunes data is a transfer process only. The data that can be synced by definition is contacts, calendar events, notes, and Safari bookmarks.
It is called syncing for the masses to understand, just as most Windows users call anything harmful to their computer a virus - malware, spyware, and phishing scams are all viruses.
Importing photos/videos from a digital camera can involve more than transferring the data, and everything with iOS devices is centered around a Mac and Mac applications that can be used for this and rightfully so. I use iPhoto on my Mac for importing photos and video from a digital camera including from my iPhone and iPad 2, and for photo storage and management. iPhoto includes an option to delete imported photos/videos from a digital camera after the import process is complete including from the Camera Roll with an iOS device. I assume adding photo/video import functions from a digital camera could be added to iTunes, but there are already applications on a Mac and Windows that provide for this.
It wasn't confusing to me - namely because it is called a Camera Roll on an iOS device. Anything involving a camera involves an import process which iTunes does not handle with any other digital camera.

What EXACTLY does iCloud backup/sync to their server.!?!.

HI all..
hoping someone could help me out.
i have read many an article regarding what iCloud backs up/syncs to their server.
i Know it syncs Safari bookmarks/open tabs/reading lists to their server..
and ios8 is introducing Safari history sync too..
however does iCloud also sync your cookies & cache to their server as well??
cheers

Hello Leeeeeeeeee1892,
there is no official post mentioning that, but I would be surprised if Apple would sync cookies between devices.

What elements does Itunes not sync

I have a phone which was not attached to my PC.
I would like to attach it to my PC now but I would like to know what will be lost.
I.E. will I be able to keep the text messages that have been stored on it?
Rob

You need to install the latest iTunes on your PC, then Authorize it to the same iTunes account you have on your phone.
Connect the phone, wait for it to be recognized, but do not sync. Choose "Transfer Purchases" from the File menu to move your music and apps to the PC.
Click on the phone in the left panel of iTunes, then the Info tab in the right panel. Choose apps to sync Contacts and Calendar. BE SURE THERE IS AT LEAST ONE ENTRY in the apps you have chosen on the PC.
Right click on the iPhone in the left panel and choose Backup. This will preserve your contacts, calendar, text messages, photos in your Camera Roll and settings. Not music or apps, but those should have been copied with Transfer Purchases.
Sync the pbone.

What exactly does itunes mean when it says "apply sort field"

In iTunes when I select a track [or several tracks] and then Right click i see an option at the bottom of the resulting menu that offers to "apply sort field", when I select this option a sub menu comes up offering several fields for me to choose from, the options are, All matching fields, Same Album, Same Artist, Same Album Artist, Same Composer, Same Show. If I choose one of these options iTunes issues a warning that it's about to alter some of the files in my library. Can anyone explain exactly what is about to happen and how this is different from simply clicking any of the column headers in iTunes so it will sort the tracks on the screen?

The sort fields are used to control the order in which items are listed within their colums rather than which column the display is currently sorting on. iTunes automatically fills some of these in so an album or artist that begins with a, an or the is normally sorted as if the article wasn't there, e.g. so *The Beatles* get sorted under B and not T. In other cases you might decide that you want, for example *David Bowie* sorted as *Bowie, David*. If you set the Sort Artist, Sort Album Artist and Sort Composer (assuming this is one of his tracks) to *Bowie, David* on just one track, then right-click and chose *Apply sort file > All matching fields*, then iTunes will look at each track that has *David Bowie* in the Artist field and put *Bowie, David* in the Sort Artist field, also for each track that has *David Bowie* in the Album Artist field it will put *Bowie, David* in the Sort Album Artist field, and for each track that has *David Bowie* in the Composer field it will put *Bowie, David* in the Sort Composer field.

HT4859 when you go to do this it say that your iPod or whichever device will no longer be backed up to the computer it is currently backed up to, what exactly does that mean? Will i not be able to sync my iPod from that computer?

when you go to do this it say that your iPod or whichever device will no longer be backed up to the computer it is currently backed up to, what exactly does that mean? Will i not be able to sync my iPod from that computer? Please help me and answer either or both question detailed thanks

Normally when you sync your device it is automatically backed up to your computer as the first step in the sync process. When you choose to start backing up your device to iCloud, iTunes stops automatically backing it up on your computer when you sync. That's what the message is telling your; that you are now backing up to iCloud and not to your computer each time you sync. You can still manually back up to your computer any time you want by going to the Summary tab and clicking on Back Up Now under Manually Back Up and Restore.
You can still sync your device as you did before, it just will no longer back up automatically when you do.

There is this peculiar [email protected] email address that is required.

Water damage isn't covered by warranty, but you could always purchase a refurbished device from Apple.

What exactly does Restore do?

Forgive me if this has been covered before, but I did search and didn't find my specific answers.
I synced my bookmarks with my Safari browser on my PC. All is good, except that the sync also copied the default bookmark folders "bookmark bar" and "bookmarks", which are both empty and redundant on my Touch. They are listed 2nd and 3rd on the Touch bookmarks list, taking up valuable space! But, since they're default folders, I can not delete them, just like the "History" folder on the Touch.
Anyway, I've read that the only way to remove them is to restore my iPod, and never sync bookmarks from Safari again. (IMHO it seems completely crazy that syncing from one Safari to another would be so problematic!)
So, what exactly does Restore do? I know it resets the ipod to factory settings, but what happens to all my bookmarks and webclippings? Is there anyway to back those up and edit my bookmarks manually to remove the two default folders?? Because if not, it seems that this wouldn't be a fix at all, instead just a big ol pain in the arse. This is a very annoying bug and I hope it is fixed in the next update. :/
Any help is very appreciated!

Assuming you're using Windows (going by your system specs)...if you have bookmarks you need to preserve only for the touch, export all your current Internet Explorer (IE) bookmarks/favorites to a file and back that up. Then delete ALL bookmarks in IE & sync your bookmarks only using iTunes (IE has to be open for the bookmark sync to work properly). Your bookmarks will sync with IE and only the ones that were on your touch should be in your current IE bookmarks. Now export those bookmarks to a different file. When you want to restore the touch and it's bookmarks, sync the touch and select the option to over-write/replace the bookmarks on the touch. To get your Windows IE bookmarks back, restore from the first backup file you made. Note that the sort order after importing the bookmarks back into IE will be alphabetical rather than by when the bookmark was added. I don't think there's any getting around that.
As far as deleting the default folders you're looking to get rid of, I don't believe that it's currently possible.

I'm trying to transfer music from iTunes on an old PC that uses an external storage device to a new PC (Windows 7) that will use that same external storage device. I am also dealing with new iTunes 11. How do I do this?? What folder does iTunes use?

I'm trying to transfer music from iTunes on an old PC (Windows Vista Home Basic) that uses an external storage device to store the files to a new PC (Windows 7 Starter) that will use that same external storage device. I am also dealing with the new iTunes 11. How can I accomplish this successfully? What folder does iTunes use to store the data in? I've tried several things. Home Sharing caused duplicates but not all songs or apps transfered. It is a large library! I've tried just setting the path in the Advanced Tab of iTunes preferences of the new computer with the external drive connected the same as the path when the external drive is connected to the old computer. This was the best solution so far but still a few artists missing and some apps. Any suggestions?

Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
With iTunes 11 you might also have a Home Videos folder inside iTunes Media.
In the simplest cases you copy the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> on the source computer to <User's Music> on the target machine, install iTunes, and it "just works"TM.
If the media folder (inside the red outline) has been split out to a separate location then you can copy the library folder (outside the red outline) as before and connect the drive holding the media so that it has exactly the same path as before. If the drive appears as D: on one system and E: on the other then the library won't be able to find the media.
The crucial file is iTunes Library.itl - this contains a record of the tracks that have been added to the library, ratings, play counts, playlists etc.

What exactly does a new poster have to do to get permission to post images?

Recently there was a forum update that disabled new posters to add images
(AND links?) Supposedly this was to reduce spam. So far so good.
Not surprisingly, immediately after the update we have numerous posts in the Forums Issues forum complaining about this feature and no doubt plenty of users just submitting to this policy in silence.
This whole feature is a SEVERE (that's right. bold AND in caps) hindrance. I don't have the stats, but I'm sure a considerable percentage of
(non spam) original posts are from new users with no previous forum activity. Pictures are especially important in the Chart Control forum as visualization is what charting is all about.
(This is the forum I frequent. So yes, I'm biased.)
Ofcourse, I'm sure the forum developers have weighed the pros and cons and studied the stats and then decided what to do after serious consideration...
The question is: What exactly does a new poster have to do to get permission to post images? Wait for how long? Reply to a confirmation email? "Participate" more?
(Say it ain't so.) How much more?
If there really is a workaround by adding an image tag with the edit html button, I don't want to hear it. It's as silly a way to add images as in the before times, the long long ago.
(Also, if this is possible, this whole restriction feature is actually worse than useless. Spammers will exploit this sooner than later. (A very good point made by our dear friend Quincy in a post that has since been deleted it
seems.))

I believe answering that question defeats the purpose of having the "feature".
I suspected as much.
I was hoping to add some explanation to the chart forum FAQ, I guess "Body text cannot contain images or links until we are able to verify your account."
(if this really is the only message new posters get) will have to do.
I still feel this is more of a hindrance to the quality of the forums than not. As confirmed it seems by Naomi, spammers already have a workaround.
Sipla, it sounds like we should add this FAQ to this article:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/7359.forums-help-faq-en-us.aspx
What do you suggest?
What does the message say to the user who cannot post links and images yet? We should map to that language.
Thanks!

It says "Body text cannot contain images or links until we are able to verify your account."
If this means you will get a verify email, then you should get a verify email. The message infers that either action will be taken by the forum mods that will be apparent to the user or that the user needs to take some sort of action.
If this is not the case, the wording needs to be changed; it should not mislead you. This is an incredibly vague status message.
I do not have any record of a verify email in my inbox history. All I have is an email this morning from MSDN Site Support (I also posted a request yesterday in MSDN Site Feedback) asking me which account I needed verified. I only have one account.
Almost immediately after I replied, I was able to post links and photos. Honestly I do not know which came first though, the "verification" or my reply to the email or someone noticing the thread about compaining about it a month after signing up.

What exactly does the AppleCare cover for MacBook Pro with Retina Display?

I purchased the extended protection plan for my MacBook Pro with Retina Display 15" and my question is what exactly does it cover in what kind of situations (i.e. viruses, damaged ports, damaged charger, etc.)? I want to be able to take full advantage of the protection plan since it was a pretty big whole in my wallet.

AppleCare covers all the problems you have with your MacBook Pro with Retina display and the peripherals which came with it (your charger) if you have a hardware problem that you didn't cause. For example, after 2 or 3 years and 1000 charges, OS X says that your battery has to be replaced: in this case, you have to pay for the battery, because batteries have got a lifetime, and Unibody Macs batteries have got an average lifetime of about 1000 charges.
However, if the RAM gets damaged and you haven't done anything to cause it, you will get your computer repaired or replaced for free. AppleCare in a MacBook Pro with Retina display is very important, because near all the parts are soldered into the logic board and repairs are expensive

My iPhone 4s was stolen this weekend and I did the Remote Lock. What exactly does that do? Also, if i do the Remote Wipe will that erase all of my data and impede anyone from ever using the phone?

My iPhone 4s was stolen this weekend and I did the Remote Lock. What exactly does that do? Also, if i do the Remote Wipe will that erase all of my data and impede anyone from ever using the phone?

The remote lock locks the iphone with a passcode that you set. By remote wiping the device it will simply restore it and clear it of all its data, but by doing this it will prevent you tracking it and communicating with it (e.g. remote locking it) in the future

Changes to Adobe Digital Publishing Suite, Professional Edition
Effective immediately, all customers who newly purchase or renew Digital Publishing Suite (DPS), Professional Edition, will be able to publish only one app per license of DPS Professional Edition.
Under this policy change, Professional Edition customers can publish an unlimited number of issues (.folio files) to a single app and distribute those issues based on purchased fulfillment bundles.
An app created with a single license of DPS Professional Edition can be distributed to any or all of the marketplaces that DPS supports, including the Apple App Store (and Newsstand), Google Play, Amazon Appstore, and the Windows Store.
In conjunction with this policy change, Adobe is reducing the price of a Professional Edition license to $4,800 USD annually (€3,600/¥480,000) or to $400 per month (€300/¥40,000) and will include 1,000 fulfillments annually. The number of fulfillments included with a monthly subscription remain unchanged.
This policy does not apply to test or demo apps published using Professional Edition. The one-app-per-license policy applies only to an app published to a supported marketplace(s).
If you are an agency, upon your renewal or purchase of Professional Edition, you can create only one app per Professional Edition license. If you have multiple clients for whom you are creating apps, either you as the agency or your client must purchase a Professional Edition license for each app published to a supported marketplace(s).
If you are an existing Professional Edition customer and choose to renew your Professional Edition license at the end of your annual agreement, these changes, including the lower price point and 1,000 fulfillments, apply at that time. These changes do not apply to your existing DPS Professional Edition agreement and take effect only if you renew your license.
DPS Professional Edition customers can continue to create unlimited Single Edition apps, which is unchanged under the new policy. A Single Edition app is defined as an app that includes one built-in or embedded folio.
If you expect to publish three or more apps annually, we encourage you to contact your local reseller to discuss pricing for a multi-year Enterprise Edition license.
Enterprise Edition offers additional functionality and benefits not available through Professional Edition. These include app customization, integration with back-end business systems, in-app marketing tools, targeted content based on user entitlement, and the ability to publish apps privately.

What exactly does the Radio Beacon Indicate

I have seen cases where the Radio Beacon is black and when it is gray. When it's black you may or may not be able to go through the wireless router to the modem and then to the internet. When it is gray, you cannot really do anything except be in a local mode. However there are instances when the Radio Beacon is black, rather than gray, and you still cannot access the internet. So, what exactly does the activated Radio Beacon Indicate, i.e., that the wireless network is working and the modem is down, or something else entirely ?

Assuming you're referring to the Airport icon in the menu bar, 'clear/empty' means Airport is turned off, gray bars means Airport is on but not connected to a network, and black bars means Airport is on and connected to a network. Other possible icon states are solid gray with a little computer inset, meaning you're connected to a computer-to-computer created on the Mac, and gray bars with an exclamation point (10.6 only), meaning connected to a network but not authenticated (e.g. wrong password for an 801.2X corporate/university network).
To your question, it's perfectly possible to be successfully connected to a network (black icon) and unable to access the internet. Situations like that would include the network requiring a proxy server, for which you haven't set up the details on in Network Preferences, or you're connected to an open network that requires you to enter information or agree to terms (e.g. a hotel network, where you need to put in your room number and agree to the charges before you can connect to the internet).

What exactly does the global switch command line do ?

Hello All
Just foraging in the dark world of APP-V. I have a question which I cannot find answer for through google.
There are powershell commands to publish an APP-V application globally. What exactly does the global switch do ?
I understand it makes the application available to everyone on the machine for anyone who logs onto that machine.
However in the absence of this global switch the application is still available to all users who logon to that particular machine. So what exactly is the reason for using the global switch ?
Thanks

Correct, the global switch makes the application accessable for all users logging on to that system.
This feature is required for some packages, like Office. But it is ofter used for applications used by everyone, like Adobe Reader.
However in the absence of this global switch the application is still available to all users who logon to that particular machine. So what exactly is the reason for using the global switch ?
A package can be added to the system but until it is published a user cannot start it. They won't see any shortcuts in their startmenu/desktop/etc.
So after you added the package to the system, it must be published to a user or globally (every user) to start it.
