Lost and found, iPod shuffle reunited with owner – The Washington Post. Turns out that you can find an owner by their playlist. I wonder if detectives will be using iTunes information to track people down now?
This is a fairly balanced view of the different services. I don’t trust Amazon after they disabled and deleted content off the device. Just one time of being disrespected is enough.
Movies purchased after ios5 upgrade…: Apple Support Communities. Nicely done by Apple genius Nicole. You can read the fix below.
Went to the Genius bar at the Wellington Green Apple store and spoke to Nicole. First she tried to make the itunes folder “read and write” capable – she said a lot of other permissions issues cures this type of stuff. Then when that didn’t work she looked up an article entitled “itunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play itunes store purchases” under support.apple.com/kb/ts1389 – follow the fourth option to remove the sc info folder. Ta-da! it synced like a champ.
BTW – the keynote remote app on my iphone and keynote on the ipad – bluetooth is no longer supported – what! Oh well. Forgot to ask about the iphone sync hang.
Best to all
How to Resolve “This device isn’t eligible for the requested build” Error… – StumbleUpon. This has instruction for the most popular Operating Systems. Nice work!
402653138: Apple Support Communities. Interesting solution from MrShark.
I have now found a solution for the error 402653138
Here is what you do:
1. Install all the updates of your apps on iPhone, in the app store of the phone, when all apps are up to date then connect your phone to your computer.
2. In iTunes go to the store then click the Purchased (new).
3. Download all apps to the computer here instead of transfer it from your iPhone.
4 Click in program section of iTunes and install all the updates listed there to the computer.
5. When this is done sync your iPhone with the computer, and check so that the computer and iPhone is in complete sync with the apps.
(If there are some apps that are stopping before finishing remove that app from your iPhone and try to sync again.)
When this is done you should be able to run the update without the error.
I hope this helps this worked for me.
Just upgraded my 3gs to iOS5 and Music…: Apple Support Communities. Interesting solution that the user found. I wonder if this was a cable issue. I once had an iPod that refused to sync and it turned out the cable was bent. A new cable fixed the issue.
ok..update..
Looks like by unchecking itunes sync music and then resyncing the whole library again it worked. It took a lot longer to sync this time then the initial sync during the install of iOS5. So I’m guessing the files weren’t really on the phone or were in the process of being transferred since i have 969 songs..
Anyway, seems to be working now…
Then you will need to go here to fix it. A pretty reasonable price to rescue the music and files from the device. My friend decided to buy this and I am going to see if that will help it sync to iTunes 10.5. I will keep you updated.
Thanks fredmacusa!
I don’t think we have the option of chosing what photos we will keep in the Photostream folder. Deleting them with iExplorer (a program that you install in your Mac) doesn’t work because the photos are stored in iCloud.com. So to delete “all” photos you have to do the following:
1) on your iPhone go to Settings >> Photos and turn “off” Photo Stream. It will tell you that all photos will be deleted from you iPhone device. Don’t turn it back on again.
2) Acces your account at iCloud.com
3) When logged in you will see your name at the top of the page on the right, click on your name. Click on the Advanced option and then click on the Reset Photo Stream button. That’s it.
4) Now you can go back on you iPhone Settings >> Photos and turn “on” Photo Stream.
Now all your unwanted and wanted photos are gone.
Sorry there is no option to delete only the unwanted photos at least for now.
Hope this helps! It did for me.
