When syncing my iphone stores all of my pictures that are on my computer as "Camera Albums" How do I: a)delete these off of my phone (they are hogging my available space)

When syncing my iphone all of the pictures on my computer are saved onto the phone as "Camera Albums" . As they are taking up too much space I want to delete them from the phone but don't see how to do this. Also, how do I prevent the pictures from the computer from being imported to the phone in the first place?

Photos are transferred from your computer to your iPhone, not imported.
This is selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences, which can't be selected by itself. This requires user interaction.
All photos transferred from your computer are stored in the iPhone's Photo Library. If you transfer multiple albums or folders of photos, all photos in all albums or folders are stored in the Photo Library. The photos in the albums below include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. Photos in the albums below are not duplicates taking up double the storage space. This way you can view the photos in an album only by selecting the album, or you can view all photos in all albums by selecting Photo Library.

How do I back up all of my pictures that are saved on to my iPod touch 4th generation?

I have looked through nearly all of the setting on my iPod touch 4th gen. and I can't find out how to back up all of my pictures. Are they automaticly updated to the cloud and if so how do i get to the cloud?

Camera roll photos are automatically included in your iCloud backup. However, if you delete them from your iPod and continue backing up, the backup that contains the deleted photos will be overwritten by one that doesn't, and the deleted photos will be lost.
The safest thing to do is to import them to your computer while they are still in the camera roll, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

I changed jobs and had to change emails/Apple ID. Before doing so, I did not save my photos from the photo stream to the camera roll. Now, all the old pictures that are still on my iPhone are not streaming to the iPad, only new ones. Please help.

I changed jobs and had to change email/AppleID. Before doing so, I did not copy the pics on the photo stream of my iPad to the album and now the only pics being synce with my iPad are new pics either saved or taken on phone. Old pics are still on phone. There has to be a way to get these pics to be able to stream them on to iPad, right?

You have a couple of options to get them in your photo stream:
Open the photos one at a time and take a screenshot. This will add a new low resolution copy of the photo to the camera roll, which will then upload to your photo stream;
Email the photos a few at a time to yourself, then save the attached photos to your camera roll. This will add a copy of the photo at full resolution to your camera roll and upload to photo stream;
Use an app like PhotoSync, which will allow you to wirelessly transfer copies of all your old photos to your computer all at once. Then delete these photos from your camera roll and use PhotoSync to transfer them back from your computer to your camera roll. These will be the original resolution and will upload to your photo stream. (You need an app like this because iTunes will not transfer photos back to your camera roll, where they must be in order to add to your photo stream.)
Or, you can add them to a shared stream and invite yourself as a subscriber (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99). The shared stream will appear on your iPad and you can either leave things this way, or save them to the camera roll on your iPad and delete the shared stream. They won't be in your photo stream but they will at least be on your iPad.

I'm at a loss as to what to do. Any help is appreciated. When syncing my iphone I get an message, "itunes could not sync calendars to the iphone because an error ocurred while merging data" I sync my calendar to outlook. My iphone calendar has all and the most updated information. Outlook calendar only shows my recurring events.

hi there,
i've found a great & simple solution for this problem
just open your iCloud acc on iPhone
turn off calendars (it wil ask you to keep info or not - KEEP IT!)
and turn back on (MERGE!)
now SYNC it..
and that's it
PS in my case it was contacts so the procedure is the same..

While you're correct in that Windows media won't sync to the iPhone (or any i-device), the OP states that all the music is in iTunes. If its in iTunes, it would no longer be in Windows media format since it would have been transcoded to whatever the user sets as their import preference (AAC, mp3, etc.), and once that is done then the media should be able to sync to the iPhone just fine.
To Steph, do the missing songs play OK in iTunes? If not then they could be corrupted in some way. If they play fine in iTunes but don't sync, are they unchecked in iTunes? They won't sync to your iPhone if it is set to ignore unchecked items. Finally, if these are iTunes purchases, are they protected format? (i.e. m4p files) If so, is your computer authorized to play them? (you'd know if you try to play them in iTunes, it would prompt you for the account password if not authorized)

HT1386 I have just rceived an upgrade to an iPhone 3GS. Now, when I visit the Store all the prices are in US dollars, not a big problem but I cannot edit my card details or contact to a UK address. I cannot see how to change this.

Hi Roger
Thank you for your reply.
My original feed is: http://casa-egypt.com/feed/
However, because I modified the feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/imananddinasbroadcast and nothing changed, I redirected it to another feed and then I deleted this feed.
Is there any way to change the feed in itunes? The only feed I have now is http://feeds.feedburner.com/CasaEgyptStation
I tried to restore the feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/imananddinasbroadcast but feedburner refused.
I know that I missed things up but I still have hope in working things out.
Thanks is advance.

When syncing my iPhone with iTunes, I get the error, "some items did not sync, see itunes for help", but can't find any helps for this in iTunes. Where can I find out what is not syncing?

When syncing my iPhone with my iPhone, I get a message that 2 items did not sync - use iTunes for help.
But I can't find any help information in iTunes at all, let alone when items are not syncing.
How do I figure out what is not syncing?

Since it seems App related, I'm not sure what to offer you. I guess the only suggestion I have is for you to reboot your iPad and then try again. To reboot, hold the power and home buttons at the same time for at least 10 seconds (keep holding past the swipe to shut down bar if it appears) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart. You won't lose any settings or data, so it's worth a shot.

Recently my pc crashed and I had to have a new profile built. Now when syncing my iphone 4s to the computer the sync gets stuck on step 8 and "syncing artwork" It never finishes syncing...just sits there for hours. Subsequently most of my music and apps are missing from my iphone because it never finishes syncing. How do I fix this?

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

My calendar is one day out when synced from iPhone to imac

I have an iPhone 5s. I have just bought an iMac 21.5inch.
When I connected my iPhone to the iMac to sync it, the calendar events all came over, but they are one day behind.
I am very new to iMac.
If anyone has a suggestion - I would really appreciate it.
Thanks

Hi ellie,
Welcome to the Support Communities! If your iPhone's calendar events are one day behind when synced to your iMac, check the date and time settings on both devices. Here's how:
iOS: Troubleshooting issues with date and time - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-is/HT203483
Ensure that the version of iOS on your device is up to date.
If the option to enable date and time automatically is available, turn it on. Tap Settings > General > Date & Time.
Ensure that your time zone is set up correctly. Tap Settings > General > Date & Time > Time Zone.
If the incorrect date, time, or time zone is being set up automatically on the device, please notify your cellular provider. In the meantime, tap General > Date & Time and turn off Set Automatically. Then set the appropriate time and time zone manually.
Note: The option to set automatically might not be available on all carriers in all countries.

Note: If you find that your device's time is incorrect after you sync with your computer, your computer's time may be incorrect. Verify the computer's time in System Preferences > Date & Time (you may want to select the checkbox to set the computer's date and time automatically).
Hope you are enjoying the holidays ...

Will I lose all of the pictures that I have taken if I sync my iPhone to a new computer?

I was out visiting my Aunt in MI and she had bought me an iPhone 4s. So while I was there, my cousin had synced my iPhone to his computer and added some music. I also took some pictures with the camera.
Now that I am back home, I was wondering if I would lose all of the pictures that I have taken with my iPhone if I sync it to my computer back home... This is kind of important, because it has all of the pictures from when I was in MI...
Please help?
Thanks!

where the **** is the answer to these questions??

I get this pop up when trying to create a photo book through the iPhoto store.
"Some or all of the photos you selected were downloaded from your published albums. You can only view these photos. To use them in an album or a slideshow or project, you must import them to your photo library."
The photos I have selected have already been imported so how and why do I do it all over again?
What do they mean by published albums? I categorize them into photo albums for organizational purposes after I import them from my camera or phone. So why can't I put them into a book now?
I have over 400 photos selected for a photo book for my child's graduation gift so how can I tell which photos I have to do this to?
Please help. Any insight wouyld be appreciated.
Confused and frustrated...

Give this a try: apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.

Were those items purchased or downloaded under a different apple ID than what you are logged into on the phone?
