xzzy posted:Apple deserves some kind of award for shoving 12 versions of iTunes down our throat and never once stopping for a moment and asking themselves if a rewrite is appropriate. They have rewritten the library management piece of iTunes actually. All the iTunes hate makes me chuckle. "iTunes uses 100MB+ of RAM!!!" Oh sorry is this 2001? Have you looked at what Chrome uses? For all its flaws I think iTunes is probably still the best out of the box solution there is.

All the iTunes hate is justified because it's a giant pile of poo poo, and not because of memory usage. I don't care what they have rewritten, it still can't reliably move music from my loving computer to my phone, which is the only goddamn reason it's installed on most people's computers.

iTunes is total poo poo and I don't care about RAM at all. It's a pain in the rear end to sync music with.

Could somebody be controlling her phone remotely? Anything we can do to check and/or get rid of it? TIA! If it's jumping around it may just be haunted by a malicious spirit. You should contact your local catholic priest. Just have her backup to iTunes (check the box to encrypt the backup) and restore and see if that fixes it.

Crossposting from the itunes thread: Cyrano4747 posted:This is wonky as gently caress and I'm probably just missing some setting but goddamnit I'm going nuts. Cyrano4747 posted:Self quoting because I managed to finally track down an answer to this. Holy gently caress this is the most unintuitive, terrible UI design I have ever seen and I can't loving believe Apple hid a feature this important like this. A really important settings button that disappears (not grays out, DISAPPEARS) except for under a specific set of circumstances which affects how much poo poo your computer just crams into your HD from the family share. Said settings button is in a place that is non standard within both the program and the OS as a whole. gently caress, this isn't just bad UI, it's borderline malevolent.

I like how because I apparently have too much music to autosync all at once, I have to manually sync all 100GB+ of music to my phone a couple of rows of albums at a time or else it won't work, and if iTunes ever fucks up or if I reinstall Windows (which I had to do like a month and a half ago when I got a new SSD), I have to erase all the music from my phone and re-sync all of it manually before I can add any more music to my phone  I know I'm an edge case, but still. It seems like they could've easily made iTunes more user-friendly over the years and they just haven't.

I consider myself pretty well versed in OSX and iPhones but can anyone explain what EXACTLY is going on with iPhoto/ my iCloud photo stream? How does the iPhone choose what to stick up on my iCloud.com photo stream? Can I delete these from my phone? What exactly is the "My Photo Stream" that appears in the iCloud tab in the iPhoto app on OSX? Can I access this from my iPhone/iCloud.com? I don't think so? The whole process is so loving confusing, the sooner we get Photos, the better. Quantum of Phallus fucked around with this message at 22:38 on Feb 8, 2015 |

Bottom Liner posted:This has nothing to do with the issue he's talking about. Wrong. It does. Rageaholic Monkey posted:Well then how do I do that? I've got all my music in one folder (an iTunes folder containing folders for each artist and folders within those folders for each album) that I set as the default directory every time I install iTunes. Aside from adding some new artists/albums every now and then, that doesn't change. You need to do step 3 in my instructions. Step1: Install iTunes Step2: Copy over your music folder and all the iTunes junk in there Step3: Copy over the folders in AppData > Local for Apple Computer and Apple into your new AppData > Local folder.

ITunes got so unmanageable that it was worth the $25 for Match just to have a way to get my music on my phone. Every time I try to synch via iTunes it threatens to erase my whole Phone, and I'm like "well gently caress you then" and I just give up again. Question: I'm using Swype and too much of the time when I pull down to search using Spotlight, I get the search box but no keyboard. Only way to fix it is to open some app that uses the Swype keyboard (like notepad or something), then close it and go back to spotlight. Is anyone else getting this, and know how to fix it? This app has been out now for about four months, isn't that enough time for them to figure out how to fix it?

It's a problem with how all third party keyboards work, and it appears to be an iOS bug that only Apple can solve. They havenlt yet though.

Tomorrow is upgrade day! Thinking of jumping from 5 to 6+, but I'm wondering... what's the best way to selectively restore apps? I think I want to transfer contacts, notes, calendar, voice memos, and that's all -- just leave behind two years of accreted mess under the hood and all my soon-to-be inert jailbreak fuckery. I assume that can be done with some kind of third party app at least?

Contacts / Calendars / Notes can all be done via iCloud sync. I thought there was an individual option for voice memo backup on iTunes but I can't find it now. At the very least you should be able to transfer them from your phone to your computer.

The way I'm reading it, you can just pick which apps to store on iCloud, which will be included when you do a wipe and full restore from iCloud, which still brings a lot of underlying junk from previous iOSes and hardware.

Whirlwind Jones posted:iCloud backup and iCloud sync are two different things. iCloud sync can transfer your contacts/notes/calendar without bringing over all your settings and other residual junk of a regular backup. Ah, I see. That doesn't cover voice memos or non-Apple apps, though, it seems. Michael Scott posted:6+ is too big, don't do it. Unless you put it in a purse all day long. Hahah. I watched my friend gently caress with his all weekend and it looked pretty great. But he is also a 6'5" viking.

The 6+ fits in regular jeans pockets just fine...can't vouch for how it feels if you wear those testicle-constricting super skinnies though... For me it's also very useable one-handed for web browsing / navigating the UI...one-handed texting is tricky though...

Yup, this is what I did and also love the 6+ for everything except one-handed texting but that's only something I did while driving which you aren't supposed to do anyway so it's more like a built-in distracted driving safety mechanism.

This is going to sound CRAZY: People have different preferences go to a store and play with one and make sure you can return it if you hate it after a day.

With that said, I'm a 6'4" dude with a 6+. It took me a week to get used to the size, but now I can't see myself ever going back to a 5/5S/6 with how comically tiny it is. I can't believe I used to play games on a tiny screen.

Signing up for Match does the exact same "erase" as syncing it does. It's erasing everything that you synced to it from your last iTunes library when you say OK to that, not the whole phone.

I took a 5S with my on an overseas vacation and came to rather appreciate its size and my ability to reach everything on screen without shifting my hand. I never felt like it was cramped for anything I wanted to do except when the keyboard popped up and took 80% of the usable screen space. That said, I'm fine with my 6, but I can't see myself getting anything larger if I can help it.
