Why are my iphone4S and ipad3 no longer being seen in finder under the devices section

I am new to the Apple ecosystem and for the most part I have fallen in love with it, I have had my fill of the PC era and was on the verge of a mental breakdown using them. Well I bought a MBP 13" an ipad3 and I have an iPhone 4s. When I first got these items I was able to drag and drop files like a movie that I own and copied to the hard drive. This was done in finder, under the devices section it would show my phone and my ipad however after I installed the latest iTunes software it seems that this has disapeared and now I cannot find my devices in the finder area to drag and drop these files anymore. So, my question is this, has Apple done away with this function and if so how can I drag and drop a file to the ipad3 now? Thank you all for your help.

Care to share which OS system you are using?

Are you syncing the photos using Itunes?
When you plug your phone into your PC, in Itunes under the picture tab you can sync photo and then choose the photos.

You should probably just go back. There's probably no help that can be offered that you will like.

HT203082 Why are camera roll and photostream no longer separate? It makes it take up so much room on my phone!

when ever i delete a pic from camera roll, it deletes it from photostream on my phone and computer. I just want the pic out if camera roll so it takes up less space! This is SO frustratinG.

Update to iOS 8.1 and disable iCloud Photo Library (Beta). Then you can see the Camera Roll and the Photo Stream again separately.
As soon as you enable iCloud Photo Library (Beta), the Camera Roll is no longer separately shown, so disable it.
Alternately, you could try to save space by using iCloud Photo Library (Beta) Then your photos will be stored in iCloud and not in your Camera Roll. Only smaller, optimized versions will be kept on your device, if you enable "Settings > Photos & Camera > Optimize iPhone Storage.

Why are active menus and dialog boxes disappearing/being overwritten by the active tab/page content?

Frequently when selecting a download directory/filename in the "save to" dialog the entire dialog is overwritten with the active page content. It appears the dialog has closed, but if you tab through the dialog the active field/control is written but the rest of the dialog remains hidden/overwritten. This has also happened with the "open file" dialog. The the drop down menus on the menu bar are occasionally being overwritten after being activated/pulled down. I have not been able to determine a common/specific event causing this problem.

I seem to have fixed it by putting <div class="clearfloat"></div> after the navigation bar?

Hello Majorie,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
Also, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive?
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.

Why are both SQL_ID and PREV_SQL_ID null?

session A is blocking session B.
it was row-level lock.
But, why are both SQL_ID and PREV_SQL_ID null in session A?

Well, what do we know?
Session A must have an uncommitted transaction.
That uncommitted transaction is blocking session B.
But session A could well be doing nothing now, could be churning away doing some sort of processing outside of the database (java client you said), might well be off doing something elsewhere in a distributed transaction.
Who knows?
Not necessarily the database.
If you have ASH licensed, you might, might get a better picture of what session A was doing by looking at DBA_HIST_ACTIVE_SESS_HISTORY but as this is sampled data and your statements might fly in and out, it might not be helpful.
Note that even if prev_sql_id or sql_id were populated, these might not be the statements responsible for the lock.

What SQL Server Agent jobs are currently running and for how long

Is there a way to tell what SQL Server Agent jobs are currently running and for how long? View history isn't working in my case because it's only showing completed jobs. John Schroeder

You can use the "Job Activity Monitor" for doing this. Do the following steps. It will open up the Job Activity Monitor.
1.    In Object Explorer, connect to an instance of the SQL Server Database Engine, and then expand that instance.
2.    Expand SQL Server Agent.
3.    Right-click Job Activity Monitor and click View Job Activity.
4.    In the Job Activity Monitor, you can view details about each job that is defined for this server.
In Job Activity Monitor page, we have column called Status. It will indicate whether job is executing or idle. Last Run column will give you the last invocation time of this job.
Use the following link for further reference.

Explanation - Why are IAS 9i and an RDBMS both needed ?

Why are IAS 9i and an RDBMS both needed ? After all, IAS 8I/9I does contain a "database" in it -- but Oracle calls it a "data cache" !!
Here's why ...
The IAS 8I/9I "data cache" is intended to be a "performance enhancment" mechanism to avoid network round trips to the back end rdbms (called the 'origin' database in IAS terminology) for "rarely changing" data or application code accessed/used in the IAS 8I/9I mid-tier.
The IAS "data cache" was initially extracted from rdbms 8.1.6 to use in IAS 8i (aka IAS 1.0.0 or 1.0.1) and now rdbms 8.1.7 to use in IAS 9i (formerly referred to as IAS 1.0.2).
This was because the complete architecture and functionality needed to provide the IAS 9i's "performance enhancing read only" cache functionality already exists in the oracle 8i rdbms.
(talk about o-o wanting to have high reusability !!)
How about a practical application of why would you do this ??
Think of the web site activity of a major online order system, for example, a ".com" that sells books. We can all think of the famous ones who would be ideal users of this type of design.
Most of the transaction activity in an online order system is customers "browsing" the product catalog, looking at the
descriptions of the books they might consider to buy. When a customer identifies a desired book, the customer can place an order.
This typical customer behavior looks at the description for each book which is "rarely changing" information that is normally accessed in a "read only" mode.
To improve performance for this online order system, the "rarely changing" information can be stored (or "cached") on the mid-tier in IAS 8i/9i's "data cache".
How do this improve performance ??
With the information available in the mid-tier "data cache", network roundtrips by IAS 8i/9I applications to the 'origin' rdbms are avoided, reducing the workload on the network and the 'origin' rdbms.
Why do i still need a back-end or 'origin' rdbms along with ias 9i ?
You still need the 'origin" database as the "master repository" for your books, their inventory system, and orders placed with your business.
You also have the other necessary business systems they may or may not take advantage of the IAS design -- like shipping, payroll, Human Resources, etc.
What happens if the data changes ?
I kept repeating "read only" -- so - the next question is what do you do with "new or changing" data - like placing an order or updating the inventory ?
Since the "master copy" of the information is retained on the origin rdbms, then all changes will occur there.
When a new book is added or an existing book's information is updated or a book is dropped from the inventory, these changes are applied to the origin database.
This information is then "refreshed" on the IAS 8I/9I "data cache" using the "management policies" available within IAS 8I/9I.
These policies controls how and when to "refresh" the IAS 8I/9I data cache.

In the following document:
1) "Oracle9i Application Server Technical White Paper" located at :
http://technet.oracle.com/products/ias/pdf/9ias_102.pdf
don -- right
At the bottom of page 16 and the top of page 17 is the following....
'The Java engine inside Oracle9i AS is the Oracle JVM.'....
don -- right --- new name is Enterprise Java Engine (EJE)
'The Oracle JVM is integrated in Oracle9i AS, giving it the same advantages and benefits available to the Oracle Database ...'. '
don -- almost right -- you left the key phrase off of it ...
it is completed as follows : (CAPS - are mine for emphasis)
'The Oracle JVM is integrated in Oracle9i AS, giving it the same advantages and benefits available to the Oracle Database FOR EXECUTING JAVA BASED APPLICATIONS ON THE SERVER'. '
STEVE --
that's why i made the comment in the previous post which i've copied below :
I don't think of it as a "database" even though some literature might refer to it as one in IAS 9i standard edition !!
The term "database" has a lot of extra functions with it that are not in IAS 8i/9i!!
for example, most RDBMS's have :
1) updateable tables, etc.
2) backup and recovery of data requirements
3) etc.
That's what makes the EJE in IAS different from an RDBMS -- the extra rdbms functrions are not needed...
That's why I think of it as a "Java Code Container" that holds the Oracle Enterprise Java Engine(EJE) in it. I was stuck on this also - now i can mentally exclude all of that extra functionality by calling it a "java code container" and not thinking of it as a "database".
Since Oracle JVM is the common Java environment for both the Oracle database and Oracle9i AS,...'.
The above gave me the impression that 9i AS has a JVM independent of a database.
don -- 9i AS has a JVM independent of a database -- they are the same item -- a "stripped down" database or as i call it a "Java Code Container" that holds the Oracle Enterprise Java Engine(EJE) -- formerly called the oracle 8i jvm -- in it.
i think the term "database" in the literature is being used to emphasize where it came from (stable oracle 8i -- as opposed to totally new technology)
but
i personally think the term "database" implies to many people, it is a "fully functional rdbms" ... so they assume they don't need a back end -- or in ias terms -- an 'origin' rdbms.
However -- i think this is where the confusion is ..
as people understand the differences between ias and rdbms, they soon realize they must have an rdbms.
However, the administrative instructions (that deal with setting up OSE) seem to point that the JVM is in a database.
don -- right -- it is a "stripped down" database or a a "Java Code Container" as i call it.
you still need to deploy the java code (servlets, jsp's, ejb's, corba, and java stored procs) to it.
The command line functions that you use to do that with the 8.1.7 rdbms -- still apply.
Commands like :
loadjava, deployejb, dropjava, sess_sh, publishjsp, publishservlet, etc.
Note :
Obviously ias 8i "EJE" or ORACLE 8i JVM (the old name), is based upon the rdbms 816 functions (no OSE in it), so you can't deploy servlets and jsp's to the ias 8i EJE just like you can't to the 816 rdbms.
I do find this subject (where is the JVM located) very confusing.
don - right -- but you are picking it up -- hang in there !!
Steve you asked --
Don - is the EJE (OSE/OJVM) implemented through a database?
'The Java engine inside Oracle9i AS is the Oracle JVM.'....
don - right
keep in mind from a java perspective -- the EJE is a "Stripped down" database that acts like a java code container that you connect to -- just like in 817 --- so you can deploy your code to it.
it's also a jvm -- and you execute your deployed java code in it -- just like in 817.
i hope this helps and i didn't confuse this topic further for you ...

When I am in Edit, why are Smart Fix and Balance unavailable to me?

When I am in Edit, why are Smart Fix and Balance unavailable to me?

I don't know what you mean by balance, since there's nothing by that name in PSE. If you go to the Enhance Menu do you mean that Auto Smart Fix and Adjust Smart Fix are grayed out? If so, go to Image>Mode and be sure you have an RGB file and that it's 8 bits.

Why are my contacts and calendars showing up on my daughter's iphone after I updated? Help!

Why are my contacts and calendar showing up on my daughter's iphone after I updated? Is there anyway to remove them or stop
them from going directly to her phone? Help!!!! Thanks guys

So, am I to conclude from all this that the best thing for one iMac and multiple family devices (2 x iphones, 1 x itouch, 2 x ipods) is to set up itunes account for each family member. We don't use iCloud except for my (primary iphone)
We had similar problems to the above, and since the recent 6.0.1 update we've started getting each others texts, on top of my wife and I's contacts being replicated to our young son's itouch, and a seemingly random redistribution of apps.

I have these black boxes around all the images i add. why are they there and how do i get rid of them?

i have black boxes around all the images i bring into pages. why are they there and how can i get rid of them?

Pages rememebers the last setting you used on images.
So if you had a border on the last image the next one you bring in will have one too.
To change that select:
Inspector > Graphic > Stroke > None
Spend a little time exploring the menus and particularly the Toolbar and Inspectors whcih are in reasonably logical progression from big things down to smaller details and clearly labeled.
It is also possible that you have show Layout on which outlines objects on th screen so you can see what's what. To change that:
Menu > View > Hide Layout

When I bootup the icon for Elements shows up in orange. It changes to green only when I've gone to Finder and clicked on Elelments under the Devices list. This is a recent development. The icon used to be green upon bootup. Does anyone know why ?

I'm sorry to hear that.
I'm not affiliated w/ the developer, just a happy user that gave up fighting the apple podcast app a while ago. I used to have a bunch of smart playlists in itunes for my podcasts, and come home every day and pathologically synced my phone as soon as I walked in the door, and again before I walked out the door in the morning.
Since my wife was doing this too, we were fighting over who's turn it was to sync their phone.
Since I've switched to Downcast, I no longer worry about syncing my phone to itunes at all. I can go weeks between syncs.
Setup a "playlist" in downcast (ex., "Commute") and add podcasts to that playlist. Add another playlist ("walk" or "workout") and add different podcasts to that one.
Set podcast priorities on a per-feed basis (ex., high priority for some daily news feeds, medium priority for some favorite podcasts, lower priority for other stuff). Downcast will play the things in the priority you specify, and within that priority, it will play in date order (oldest to newest).
Allegedly, it will also sync your play status to other devices, although that is not a feature I currently use and can't vouch for. It uses apple's iCloud APIs, so to some extent may be limited by what Apple's APIs can do.
