Won't sync local files!

As the title says, my samsung galaxy s5 just won't sync my local files from my computer. I've read and tried everything the help thread recommended but it just won't work.

I have the same problem and it's really annoying! Since the redesign it stopped working for me and I have tried everything (deleting, etc.). Spotify Connect is working, but I can't get Spotify to sync local files to mobile devices....

Spotify won't sync local files to iphone

I've had local files synced for a long time, but today all tracks appeared as greyed out. I reinstalled the app and now when I press the offline switch nothing happens and the tracks remain greyed out. I've tried everything I have found on this forum: I am connected to the same wi-fi network (which has worked before so there is no problem there), I have about 7gb storage free on my iphone, I have tried reinstalling (several times) both spotify on my iphone and on my mac, I haven't updated the spotify client since this last worked (I went back to version 0.9.15.27 a while ago which did work for local sync). This is probably the most important feature for me so if this isn't getting fixed I will have to end my subscription.

Just follow this instructions (exactly) for you to be able to sync local files from your desktop to your iPhone. Note: This feature is for Premium users only.Using the desktop app, add local music files you want to sync to a playlist.Log into Spotify on your iPhone using the same WiFi network as your desktop.Tap the menu button ().Tap Your Music.
Tap Playlists.
Tap Local Files, or the playlist containing local files from your computer.Select the playlist containing the local music files and press the Available Offline switch at the top.
A green arrow will appear next to the tracks when syncing is complete.

Spotify won't sync local files

When I download my playlist to my android (Sony Experia ST27i) all my local files are unplayable. They do appear on the phone, but when I try to play them it says ''the song is not available''.
One more thing: when I am on the computer, my phone won't show under ''devices''.
I have followed every instruction but nothing works...
Please help!

Galaxy S5. Android version 4.4.2.
None of these methods work. I, too, have tried disabling all firewalls and the antivirus software. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both the phone and desktop applications repeatedly. I have updated my router firmware and turned off all router firewalls and enabled UPNP. Offline mode is disabled on the phone.
If I uninstall and reinstall the phone app, then close then reopen the desktop application, the phone DOES show up under devices. The large button on the desktop that says Sync with this device is visible when I click on the device. However, the button doesn't work and nothing changes. If I do any navigating within the phone app, the phone disappears from the devices on the desktop and never comes back until I reinstall the android app on my phone.
The playlists that I made on the computer that are only containing local files (created specifically to try to fix/assess this issue) do show up on the phone. I have selected "download" on the phone, but the local files never download.
People have been complaining about this for so many months without resolution, it's very frustrating.
EDIT: I am also running the desktop as an administrator on Windows 7.
The spotify version running on my desktop is 0.9.14.13.gba5645ad
The mobile version is 1.7.0.830

GetAppletContext().showDocument() won't show local files for some people

Hi,
I have a reporting function that creates a pdf and stores on the users computer in the local temp drive and then displays the created pdf in a new browser window. Everything works fine except for some users it won't show local files. This is a signed applet and everyone has the same policy file. I can't work out why it works for some users and not for others, there doesn't seem to be a pattern in o/s, configurations etc. When i run the code locally on tomcat it works for me but when i upload to server it doesn't. There is no error message either. The pdf is definitely being created as well as you can check it in the temp directory. Code is below:
void btnReport_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
try {
String args[] = {"-pdf"};
File f = File.createTempFile("SCReport", ".pdf");
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(f);
JCPrinter printer = SCPrintManager.getPrinter(args, fos);
if (printer == null) {
System.out.println("Printer is equal to null");
// What has been selected?
SCReport report = new SCReport(printer);
Vector vectSubConsultant = createVectorFromScreenInfo();
if (vectSubConsultant == null)
return;
report.addSectionForSC(vectSubConsultant, true);
SCPrintManager.printDocument(report.getDocument(), printer);
printer.getOutputStream().close();
URL reportURL = f.toURL();
URLConnection con = reportURL.openConnection();
ReDirector().getAppletContext().showDocument(reportURL,"report");
catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.println("Error producing report");
ex.printStackTrace();
}

Did you have any luck? As I am trying to do the same thing...

Can't sync local files.

Spotify refuses to sync local files. It will sync every other song but wont even attempt to download local files onto my iphone. They stay grayed out.
IMy iphone and mac are conneced to the same wifi. I have the most recent mac and iphone version of spotify. I just did a clean reinstall of both. I also checked to make sure that I have the most recent IOS and OSX version, and I do. I am using a macbook pro retina 13 inch which I just bought and an iphone 5.

Hi, I have had this problem for such a long time and it has been driving me mad. I couldn't sync my local files that were in my playlist to my iPhone or iPad, for example Fifth Harmony's song 'Worth It'. It was in my local files but wouldn't download and sync even if the playlist was avaliable offline. Yet theiir singles 'Sledgehammer' and 'BO$$' were syncing because they're on Spotify.
Also both my Apple products weren't showing under the devices section even if they were under the same WiFi.
However I have fixed my problem; it is due to the firewall in my HP laptop. I went into my laptop's search bar and typed in 'firewall'. I got a promt for allow a programme through firewall. I clicked on the controll panel for this and I had to change my settings for Spotify as it was only ticked in one box and not both like iTunes is. As soon as I clicked on this and saved the settings, I went back into Spotify and straight away my iPhone 5s appeared under my devices and my playlists that were containing my local files started downloading and syncing.
Hope this helps anyone else with this problem!!

Ipod won't sync. File not found.

I got my iPod touch right after Christmas and it's been fine.
In the last week, however, it won't sync to my computer. When I plug it in and try, I get the following error: "The iPod "iPod touch" cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found."
Please help!

That can sometimes indicate a photo cache issue. If you remove the current ipod photo cache, does that get you past the error?

How to sync local files to exchange

Okay - so I made the move in my office to all Mac - accessing our exchange server. All of my files are local - simple question:
1 - How can I have my local files (documents) automattically sync with an identical folder on the exchange server? This way my company has a back up and other people can acceess within the company,
2 - Does it make more sens to keep my documents on synced with a folder on the cloud - if so - I would still use my local files as the default place to operate from, as I am not always online.
Thanks in advance

Search and gnome-documents won't find local files

Hello all,
I can't say for sure whether this behavior started before or after I upgraded to GNOME 3.4. Anyway, this issue is that neither gnome-documents nor the default search from the Activities menu (does that still exist?) can find any of my local files. While I get no results at all from the Activities overview, the Documents application only shows my Google Docs documents. I have already checked tracker-preferences, and all the options seem ok (seeking all relevant directories, always refreshing). Have already tried calling tracker-control -rs and rebooting, too.
Is anyone else having this issue, not being able to perform searches on local files?
Thank you in advance.
EDIT: also, I have noticed that the tracker process (tracker-miner-fs) is using nearly 1GB of memory, causing the whole system to slow down.

I'm having very similar problems. Local documents do not appear in my search results, and tracker-control --status appears stuck at 1% on my home directory.
Before installing/configuring xdg-user-dirs I had the same gstreamer errors in tracker-extract.log, but those appear resolved. Now I have a LOT of errors similar to the following:
03 May 2012, 21:44:38: Tracker-Critical **: Extraction task for 'file:///home/ryan/Documents/Desktop/Impact%20of%20Climate%20Change%20Water%20Industry.pdf' went rogue and took more than 20 seconds. Forcing exit.
and
03 May 2012, 21:46:30: Tracker-Warning **: Content extraction of PDF Timed out
EDIT: spoke too soon; it appears my local files are just taking a long time to index. tracker-control --status now indicates progress and some of the docs are starting to populate search results. HOWEVER, I'm still having the above errors with .pdf files. Do I need some supporting package (an unlisted dependency) to index .pdf files?

Spotify won't play local files in newer version (w/o ffmpeg-spotify)

Hi,
I have recently updated Spotify from AUR to version 0.9.4.183-1 (updated 2013-10-10) and I'm not able to play local files anymore (I was before). Package maintainer says that the major changes in the last version is that ffmpeg-spotify is not needed anymore to play local files (and so it has been marked as outdated), so I guess it has something to do with this fact. Actually, having or not having installed ffmpeg-spotify does not make any difference.
Just for the record, I am using PulseAudio, and when I try to play a local file, I can see in the log the following message:
19:03:25.415 I [audio_driver_linux.cpp:18 ] Using PulseAudio
Yep, that's all.
Is this happening to anyone else? Does anybody knows how is Spotify supposed to play local files without ffmpeg?
Thanks a lot.

Well, funny enough, I've found the solution the minute after I posted the question. To play local files, the necessary package is ffmpeg-compat (in official repo). So I guess this should be added as a dependency of the spotify AUR package?
Hope this helps someone.

Automatically sync local files and iTunes playlists

Is it just me, or does Spotify not update playlists and local files from iTunes automatically as you add more tracks?
This is so annoying. I use iTunes to add and organize my local files, which Spotify is not able to do. But the least Spotify could do was to do a check up once in a while to see if i added new local tracks or changed my playlists in iTunes.As it is now i have to import playlists and local files everytime i add new music. So i first need to add it to iTunes and then again to Spotify. Toooo much work.

Hey guys,
I am interested in the "Local File Refresh Button" functionality described initially in this post: http://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-Ideas/Local-File-Refresh-Button/idi-p/188652
I consider that having the "Local File Refresh Button" option would make a lot of users happy, is anyone else interested in this idea?
Cheers !

ITunes won't sync Nef files from Nikon D5300

iTunes will sync Nef files nicely from my Nikon D5100 but not the new D5300. D5300 a new sensor configuration, even the Nikon software needed an update to work with D5300 nef. iTunes probably needs an update or even better use the windows codec Nikon provides. It's on my machine but apparently not used by iTunes.

Nor will iPhoto at the time of writing import NEF files. I am assuming there will be a firmware update in the next week or so (hopefully)

Ipod nano 4th generation won't sync required file not found!!!

I had my computer fixed and so I had redownload itunes again.All my my music got saved to a folder as a backup.Well when I downloaded it,I put all the songs on itunes and tried to sync my ipod to add new music.But,it kept saying it won't sync since required folder is not found.I've looked everywhere online to see what to do.I tried uninstalling everything and again multiple times.The same error kept popping up.I switched to Manually manage music to see if it fixed the problem but no.A different error "the song....could be copied error ..." I switched back to sync.Nothing worked!!I tried restoring but it took so long as if it couldn't work it out.Previously I had this same computer fixed and when I downloaded again itunes it worked perfectly fine until now.Can somebody please guide me what to do?I cannot afford a new one.

My iPod touch generation 4 won't sync audio files.

I got my iPod touch (gen 4 ) for Christmas this year, and it did not sync audio files at all, yet it synced photos and apps fine. So I went on various websites trying to find help for the problem, and the websites told me to restore the iPod. So I did and it got frozen on recovery mode. I took the iPod back, and got it swapped for a new one, but the new one has the same problem. It will not sync music or podcasts (I haven't tried videos or audiobooks). I am at a total loss as to what I can do, I don't know whether it is my computer, or the iPod! Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I really want to get my iPod working properly! Thanks.

Yeah, it syncs apps perfectly fine! When I try to sync music/podcasts, it peforms steps 1 - 3 fine (which is preparing the iPod for sync and backing it up etc.) but then when it comes to actually syncing it (steps 4 + 5), the computer freezes, and gets stuck and will not let me click anything, yet the iPod still says that it is syncing. I left it for a couple of hours, when I was just trying to put a couple of songs on, and nothing had changed. And it's only once that I have actually unplugged my iPod that iTunes starts to work again. And then the error messages: "The iPod 'Amelia's iPod' can not be synced. It is not conneceted" and "Attempting to copy to the disk 'Amelia's iPod' failed. An error occured while writing to the device." And occasionally an error message with '(-20)'. I have tried disabling my firewall, deleting backup history as well.
I have tried connecting it manually (dragging and dropping) as well as automatically!

New iPod won't sync new files

I'm back again... so I'm the one who ruined the iPod with the perfume. I bought a brand new 120 GB classic to replace the other one and all my music from the old iPod transferred fine.... I bought a new album from iTunes since and it won't sync it to my iPod! What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

how did you save the songs? can you play the songs? have you restarted the computer?
