What is a sync exactly? (does it include photos?)

Newbie here and trying to get organized. What exactly is meant by "sync" and why is it that I can't sync my phone to my laptop while I am on the road.
Are photos completely excluded from a sync? I am traveling with an iPhoto Library on an external HD and my intention is to upload photos to this database from the phone. Won't any downloaded photos to my iPhone stay synced via MobileMe if I am basically still using the same database?
If I have previously synced my phone to my desktop - and am now organizing music on my laptop - can I sync the phone to the laptop now?
Will I lose all my Apps if I do this?
Does all the data from MobileMe stay completely independent of any of these computer syncs?

Hi. Thanks.
Thanks for the clarification on MobileMe. My understanding is that you just have to keep Calendar and Contact sync off when syncing with iTunes if you use MobileMe. Whether to check Notes in iTunes is another question which I don't understand yet.
I think the part that I was missing was that you could transfer your Apps from your phone to the laptop and then sync to the laptop. This way you keep your Apps.
This way I can work on my iTunes Library on my laptop (which I have with me).
Since I am accessing my iPhoto Library off an external Hard Drive (it was copied from my desktop to the external hd) I have access to all my photo information if I need it on the phone.
Thanks...

  • IPhoto 9.6 does not include photo description in export file

    My system is current with OS X Yosemite 10.10.1, iPhoto 9.6, Preview 8.0
    The caption/description does not export from iPhoto. I have not exported files from previous iPhoto versions expecting the file to contain the iPhoto Caption/Description. This is a s/w feature that I want to use starting today and forward.
    The caption/description for my test file is "Test Description". I have carried out the steps required to export the file (see below). The actual result is that the file caption/description is "EPSON scanner image" and not the expected result of "Test Description".
    Is this a known problem? Any suggestions or information is appreciated.

    The title has been exported, as your screenshot is showing:  It has been exported as the "Title" field:
    For the "description" tag click the "Tiff" tab in Preview's Inspector.
    You can also see the description in the "File > Get Info" panel.

  • Doesn't iOS 4.3 include Photo Booth?

    I'm surprised iOS 4.3 for iPhone does not include Photo Booth. I had the impression from somewhere on t'Interwebz that it would do. Seems like an obvious inclusion given its appearance on the iPad 2 and the iPhone's decent camera

    The iphone already had tons of photo booth apps. Might be giving the developers another few months to see the writing on the wall.
    Since the ipad previously had no cameras, apple's not likely stepping on any toes by introducing a native app there.

  • 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.

  • What exactly does VCast VPac include

    I just enrolled in Premium Plan and was told that it covered unlimited EVERYTHING, there would never be additional charges to my bill, it is unlimited and there would be no use of minutes for using the features.  However, I spoke to a different rep today regarding a second phone on the plan and it appears this is not the case.  I cannot find anything online that lists what VCast or VPac includes.  IE: does it include download of music at no charge?  No minutes?  Does it include accessing internet sites at no charge, no minutes?
    Does it include sending/receiving unlimited emails at no charge, no minutes?
      Is there a place that explains this feature in detail?  In black and white?
      I was hoping for a plan that my irresponsible son couldn't surprise me with a bunch of unexpected charges, while still having some nice features, but it looks like this might not do it.  If I have to block his use of the internet to avoid additional charges, there would be no point in having the premium plan that I can see.

    Catzmeow::
    From my understanding, the Premium Plan includes unlimited MB usage (internet, texting, picture/video messaging), as well as including song/ringtone downloads (or basically anything which falls under VCast, so also streaming music/video), whereas VPack offers unlimited song/ringtone downloads and music/video streaming.
    (I'm referencing http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/splash/planfamily.jsp?lid=//global//plans//voice+plans//family for this info... notice on the chart where it shows the checkmark under Premium for VCast VPack, which seems to me to mean that it's built into the Premium Plan.)
    You may wish to double-check with customer service to verify this is indeed the case, but it looks like your Premium Plan should already have the protection for even VCast surprises built in.
    Hope this helps!

  • So what exactly does limited to "one app" mean with a Pro account and the new prices?

    So it seems Pro has dropped in price but it is now limited to "one App".
    So what exactly does that "one App" mean?
    Only one tablet version or one phone version for a certain title?
    Or you can have a tablet & phone version including android & iOS for that one title?

    I think that everyone received it just now…
    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 MasterPageFile="~masterurl/default.master" in the page mean?

    Hi Everyone,
    I want to create a site definition that use my own master page in the homepage (VS2012 + SP2010). When the site definition is created, there are already codes in the default.aspx page that simply display a string in the body. And the page refers to a
    master page at ~masterurl/default.master.
    My question is, where exactly does ~masterurl point to? I want to use my own master page to replace it, but when I change it to any other location rather than
    ~masterurl/default.master, it gives me an error saying file not found.
    So could anyone tell me how can I use my own master page in the default.aspx page? I tryied to place my master page file in the LAYOUTS folder and refer to it using
    MasterPageFile="_layouts/site.master" but it does not work, either.
    Thanks in advance.

    Taken from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ms476046(v=office.12).aspx
    Dynamic token "~masterurl/default.master"
    This token references a master page from a content page by using the MasterPageFile attribute together with the value of the MasterUrl property.
    As an example, in the following page directive, <%@ Page MasterPageFile="~masterurl\default.master"%>, the token "~masterurl/default.master" is replaced at run time by the value in the MasterUrl property.
    This property contains the server-relative full path to the master page, including file name.
    Notice the article is talking about these dynamic tokens which are automatically substituted at runtime. Which is what you're seeing.
    Static tokens are explained here; http://rehmangul.wordpress.com/2009/12/15/master-pages-in-sharepoint/
    basically you have to be careful what path you're specifying, depending on the location of the page.

  • 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.

  • Apple_Boot Recovery HD partition - what exactly does it do?

    On a new MacBook Air (Mid 2011) there is a partiton on the internal solid state drive that shows up (you can see it by using Terminal, then type "diskutil list" at the prompt) as Apple_Boot Recovery HD  650.0 MB   disk0s3.
    My question is what exactly does this partition provide?  Is the Internet still required to accomplish a "Reinstall Mac OS X"?
    Does the partition just provide a quick way to reach the Mac OS X Utilities pane (see below) when restarting your computer while holding down the Command and R keys?
    If the partition is not on a MacBook Air (Mid 2011) do you reach exactly the same functionality when you are required to download the Mac OS X Utilities pane from the Internet?
    Once at the Mac OS X Utilities pane, would you be required to use the Internet to accomplish a "Reinstall Mac OS X" even with the presence of the the Apple_Boot Recovery HD partition?

    2. You can boot from any Recovery HD regardless of its location provided it's connected. For example you can use the Lion Recovery Disk Assistant -  OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery Disk Assistant - to put a Recovery HD volume onto a small USB flash drive with at least 2 GBs of space. You can install Lion onto a 16 GB USB flash drive in which case the installer will include a Recovery HD partition.
    3. If you boot from the Recovery HD then the reinstallation is by Internet. If you have your own bootable USB Lion flash drive, then the reinstallation will take place from the flash drive. Here's how the flash drive is made:
    Make Your Own Lion Installer
    1. After downloading Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Lion application. After Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing Lion.
    2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    3. Locate the saved Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
    4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility.
    Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Drag the InstallESD.dmg disc image file into the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable Lion installer that  you can use without having to re-download Lion.

  • "Check Network Connection​" - What Exactly Does the TV Check?

    Hi everyone
    May I please ask, what exactly does the TV check when I choose "check network connection"?
    In other words, when I click the "check network connection", what IP address / servers and ports does it communicate to? What checks does it do?
    Because my TV cannot establish a network connection via settings, but the browser works perfectly well,
    I would like to carry out the same checks of "check network connection" on my PC.
    Then, if failed also on my PC, I would turn to my ISP with the results, as I believe it is the one to fault.

    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).

  • 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

  • What is the disadvantage of refurbished ipad and if i buy one does it include  iOS 5 and iCloud or not

    hallo guys
    anybody can help me
    my  question is what is the disadvantage of refurbished ipad and if i buy one does it include  iOS 5 and iCloud or not
    thanks in advance to answer me
    Best regards

    The warranty on an iPad, even a refurbished one, will still be valid in Egypt. It's only the iPhone that does not have an international warranty. Just make sure you don't buy a Verizon-model iPad, which cannot be serviced anywhere but in the US (and won't work with any other cell carrier either).
    Note that refurbished iPads are available only via the online Apple Store, and they accept only US credit cards and will only ship to US addresses. This may not be a problem for you, but I wanted to make sure you were aware.
    Regards.
