Where is a FAQ that explains how to keep all my iDevices (iPhone, pad, desktop and macBook) synched and avoid conflicts?

I seem to have a slightly different photostream, calendar, notes and contacts on each device and i really need them all to share and reflect the same information, though i use the same account to back each on eup to iCloud. Thanks!

How do I open a folder on my desktop and avoid getting the left hand column with devices shared, etc and the other column with my desktop lists?

I just want to see the contents of the folder not all the other columns!

Finder->View-Hide Sidebar (⌘⌥ S). Once set, ⌘J and select Use as Defaults. That'll ensure all newly opened windows have that setting.

Where can I find documentation that explains how

I would appreciate it very much if somebody could tell me
where can I find a documentation that explains how is it possible to customize the <jbo:ShowHint, similar to the way custom renderers customize <jbo:RenderValue...?
Thx

A try at google with sufficient keywords often reveals the answer.
My estimate is 60-80% of the questions posted here can be solved by constructing a good google search, and take some time to read the hits.
Of course experience with using linux helps (to choose the rights search keywords)
To the original poster: there is a very valuable command called 'man', which means 'manual'. if you need information about commands, use the manual, for example: man lsto learn about the 'ls' (list) command. also try man manthe manual page about the manual pages command.

The user acct my apple was connected to no longer works (corrupt). My Apple TV is still synced to that account and all of my recent purchases are going to that username. Does anyone know how to get all of the purchased items back and to the new user?

The user profile my appleTV was synced on my computer to no longer works (corrupt). My Apple TV is still synced to that profile and all of my recent purchases are going to that username. Does anyone know how to get all of the purchased items back and to the new user (same computer)? I created a new user on my computer and moved the itunes folder to the desktop but never changed the path to which the apple synced to. Now I can only see old items I purchased before the user profile went bad. PLease help!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Changing the library the Apple TV is synced with will delete all synced content from the Apple TV, but it won't delete purchased content.
You should be able to change the library, resync any content you want and transfer your purchases back to the new library.

Where can I find a retail copy of MAC OSX Snowleopard, that has all the drivers, for both desktop and Laptops?

Where can I find a retail copy of MAC OSX Snowleopard, that has all the drivers, for both desktop and Laptops?

No. 10.6.3 was the last retail release of Snow Leopard. Download the 10.6.8 Combo updater and put it on a flash drive to make it easier to install the largest part of the update.
Also, don't push the same disk image of SL to your Macs unless they are exactly the same model as it was originally installed on. The wrong hardware drivers will otherwise be in use.

We had to change the feed adress and the epsiode adresses. Now all the episodes of my podcast are downloaded (although i have downloaded them already). How can I make the changes in my feed and avoid that all the episodes are reloaded?

Hello,
We had to change the feed adress (<itunes:new-feed-url>)and the epsiode adresses in the feed because the feed and the episode-files are on a new server. Now when i open my iTunes subscription of our podcast all the episodes of my podcast are downloaded again (although i have downloaded them already).
My Question therefore is: How can I make the changes in my feed and avoid that all the episodes are reloaded?
Maybe have an answer?
Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for your answer
As I see now, our 'guid' tags contain the episode URLs
To avoid this problem in the future i would like to change guid tags. Can you please tell me how a guid tag should look like if it is not the URL?
Thank you for helping us!
ps now it looks like this eg:
<guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.castyourart.com/podcasts/213_thinkglobal_en.mp4</guid>

How to move all my data to a server and wirelessly access it from any Mac

Hi. I have a PB, an MBP, a Mac Mini and a new iMac, which all serve different purposes. I have got to the point at home where I want to have one private account with all my data on a HD and to just log in to it from whichever machine I happen to be using. I currently have an Airport Express as my wireless router and am considering buying and Airport Extreme/Time Capsule. I have about 500GB of data, which is growing pretty quickly since I have use of an HD camcorder, so I will buy one or two large drives in addition to the various external HDs I already (that total about 850GB) have. What is the best way (at relatively low cost) for me to set up my wireless home network in order to achieve the above goal?
Thanks for your time.
Matthew Whiting

Don't go there. At least not for all your data.
The relatively low throughput and high latency of the wireless connection (at least compared to direct-attached disks) will make accessing large files cumbersome and frustrating. Since you specifically mention HD video you should be aware that what takes a long time now will take a lot longer if the media is accessed over the wireless network.
So while your goal might be technically feasible, it's unlikely to be workable.
Instead you should consider focussing your centralized data on content that makes sense (e.g. maybe your iTunes library), and store data locally where it's more appropriate (e.g. consider one machine for video editing).
Therefore you need to analyze your data - both in terms of content (what you have) and use (how you access it) to determine what makes sense to store centrally. Once you have that it will be easier to form a plan.

How to sync Address book with iphone(iOS 6) and 10.7.4?

How to sync Address book with iphone(iOS 6) and 10.7.4

i'm having this issue too. it's a bit more complex though i think so i'll give the details:
a few days ago i added some people to my contacts using my phone. the thing they have in common is they're all new contacts.
they synced over to my macbook address book ok.
then a few days later i had to do a full restore of my iphone for various reasons (the new one, already!) which i did. when i then looked in my iphone contacts, these contacts were no longer there. they WERE however, still in my macbook address book.
so i figured i'd switch icloud syncing off for contacts and then resync to get them back on my phone. it didn't work. so i then turned off icloud sync and tried a good old manual sync via itunes, making sure to check the box for syncing contacts. it still didn't work.
now i'm at that odd place where the contacts are in my macbook address book but not in my phone and i can't seem to get them onto my phone (which is frustrating as ultimately they are phone numbers and in my phone is the best place for them!)
any ideas?

How to change apple id on iPhone. Wife and I have same apple ID. Get each others iMessages. want to put her on another cloud with different id.

How to change apple id on iPhone? Wife and I have same apple ID which causes me to get her iMessages instead of her. I also get all her pics on my phone and I don't want them. We need to change her apple ID without causing my ID and cloud to be closed.

Have her create a new ID.   Here: https://appleid.apple.com/
Have her log out of iMessage/Facetime/iCloud on her device.   Now have her use the new ID she has created.
That should keep the 2 of you separated, except for iTunes purchases.   You can share that ID in a family up to 5 devices.

Hi Shero89,
Thanks for the answer. I am not new to IOS software but I don't really ever bother with it, have discovered how little I take advantage of the i-phones capability, in reality I still only really use it to phone, text, check emails, listen to music and look on internet. I'm not keen on jailbreaking it as I don't trust it to work so normally just update and leave it at that. Only reason I wanted to downgrade was because the update had stopped my bluetooth working but Kilted Tim solved that problem for me so am now not interested in downgrading software. I quite liked the things that IOS 5.1 gave me but wasn't happy with fact that bluetooth stopped working in car as it caused me problems. One day I might try and work out exactly what I-phones can do but on the basis that it's a phone all I really want it to do is phone, if that bit works I'm happy.

If I completely fill my hard drive 500Gb how time machine will keep working having 1Tb of total space, I mean I have to delete mu hard drive but how I keep my previous information on time machine and keep using to with new information?

If I completely fill my hard drive 500Gb how time machine will keep working having 1Tb of total space [externak hard drive], I mean I have to delete my hard drive but how I keep my previous information on time machine and keep using it with new information?

Time Machine does not provide archival storage.
If you delete a file from your disk it will eventually be deleted from your TM backup without any notice to you.
You need a second external disk to use for archival storage.
You also need a third disk for backups of the second disk.

Method #1... Call 800-MY-APPLE & have them check the serial number. If a previous owner called in to find out how to use find my iphone, chances are there'll be a case made of it
