Are you having problems syncing with Pocketmac, Missing Sync or Media Sync? Here's what I did...

Just throwing this out there as a solution that worked for my situation. It may not work for everyone's needs.
After NUMEROUS emails back and forth with Pocketmac support I was finally told that Pocketmac will not work if Media Sync is also installed. It causes the "Error 1 Skipping" problem due to a USB driver conflict. So I tried Missing Sync's free trial. No good. It would not sync either, so paying money for the non trial version wasn't going to happen.
So, I ended up keeping Media Sync to keep my iTunes library synced and I started to use a wonderful little free app called "Google Sync". It works beautifully for my needs. It runs in the background (with no negative effect to the BB's performance or battery life) and automatically syncs your gmail contacts and google calendar to your BB device. If you change something on either the BB itself or online, google sync catches it and updates the other accordingly. 
So if your sick and tired of messing around with Pocketmac and Missing Sync, give Google Sync a try. I love it! 

it was only burning at 4x even though 47x was requested.
That's a issue discussed in the past.
It turns out that 8X DVD burning means about 47X CD burning - you were requesting 8X DVD but only got 4X DVD burning.
I haven't seen it discussed anymore so maybe Apple got around to eliminating that 'quirk' in terminology.
I suspect some of the early 8x DVD burners didn't perform as advertised. I'm glad your new 16X burner is working for you.

  • Are you having problems with Windows XP Pro and Airport Utility Updates?

    I was having problems with my wireless laptop setting up my Bonjour Printer. I checked to make sure I had downloaded the latest updates to Airport Utility and Bonjour. Check. After doing this I noticed I couldn't see my Airport Extreme through the Airport Utility. After much frustration and bringing my entire network crashing down around me, I got help from a knowledgeable guy from Cox Cable in San Diego. He helped me get my trusty iMac Power PC online. It saw my Airport Extreme but no answers were forthcoming in any forums about my XP issues. Here is what finally solved my problem. I uninstalled all Airport Utility and Bonjour Programs. I then went back to Airport Utility 5.3.1 for Windows. It installs Bonjour Printer services with this download. Everything is working perfectly again. I have my Canon Pixma MP500 connected to the USB port on my AEBS and Bonjour walked right through the setup process. I suggest that if this works for you, turn off all Airport Utility and AEBS firmware updates until you see that whatever issue Apple created with these updates gets fixed.

    Well... it worked! :D
    I'm pretty sure the extra 512 memory stick was the problem, that would explain why it was being inconsistent with its type of failures before. I'm going to reinstall it later and run memtest86 and try and see if i can get it to work at all somehow without causing problems, cuz 1.5 was already low enough...
    DryHeat, yeah it was with SP2 but I got it installed now so no worries
    Thanks a lot!

  • SOLUTION: Are you having problems with using HDV, FCP X and iDVD?

    If you edit HDV (TAPE) in FCP X and want to burn the video in iDVD you will find the following problem  .  .  .  iDVD squashes the image as shown in the screenshot below.
    Whether you export as ProRes or H.264, iDVD will see it like this as a squashed image.
    This is because iDVD does not recognise HDV anamorphic images unless they are in the Apple Intermediate Codec.
    There are 2 solutions to this problem:-
    1. Create a ProRes 422 Custom Compressor Preset with a frame size of 1920 x 1080.
    The only downside to this is that the conversion process in my 2008 iMac takes about 5 times realtime.
    2. Create an Apple Intermediate Codec preset for HDV.  This encodes on my iMac in around realtime, so it is at least 4 times faster than the ProRes solution.
    Unfortunately, if you have Compressor 4 you cannot create Apple Intermediate Codec presets, but Compressor 3.5 will and what is more important, that preset can be installed in Compressor 4.
    So you can export your HDV project from FCP X using Compressor Presets in either ProRes or AIC and use the resulting file in iDVD to get a correctly proportioned image like this.
    I prefer to use the AIC preset as it is 4 times faster and there is no quality difference on the final DVD.
    What do you do if you haven't got Compressor?
    Well you can email me for a 12KB copy of the preset as I believe FCP X can use it even though you don't have Compressor.

    Thanks for the tip!

  • Are you having problems downgrading from 5.1 crapware (1602.error in Itunes)?

    Hi!
    Like many ppl, I´m experiencing major problems with the last (and less successful) upgrade to ATV(2). Tried downgrading but keep getting 1602-error in Itunes.
    Found this useful youtube-clip, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7UCAH_Fczc
    In short terms, helps you putting the ATV in DFU-mode and overrides the 1602-error.
    Helped me and is now up running as before, with 5.02-firmware. And everything works like a charm. Apple is still signing earlier firmware due to fu*kup with the last one.

    too bad i expect that when i pay $300 + dollars for something that i assume it will work correctly... without me having to go through so much trouble to fix a problem that shouldnt exist to begin with.

  • Are yo having any issues with mac os x the latest update heres the fix

    ok a lot of people have had issues with installing the update via the software update option in mac os x tiger now let me explain something first it is not apples fault they did not expect that tons of people would be downloading this update at once which caused problems
    some of the issues people have run into are
    1.the cd rom after the update the superdrive or regular super drive will not read cds
    2.your photoshop application stops working or any adobe product stops working
    now the simple fix is this
    go online to apple.com select the download section in the support area of this web page once this is done 
    go and download the update manually and run the update manually this will correct any issues with the update including cd rom drive errors and even adobe product errors 

    ok a lot of people have had issues with installing
    the update via the software update option in mac os x
    tiger now let me explain something first it is not
    apples fault they did not expect that tons of people
    would be downloading this update at once which caused
    problems
    Since Apple know exactly how many systems are out there, have experienced download demands from previous update releases, they very clearly know the kind of demand there will be when a new update for MacOS is released. The issues with Software Update are nothing to do with this - and indeed, historically there have always appeared to be a small proportion of systems that have not functioned correctly with a MacOS update - a quick perusal of MacFixit going back some years would evidence the fact.
    When Software Update downloads the wrong components, it's not volume of traffic that causes it, but that when Software Update examines the specific system, it finds components that cause it to misidentify it.
    some of the issues people have run into are
    1.the cd rom after the update the superdrive or
    regular super drive will not read cds
    2.your photoshop application stops working or any
    adobe product stops working
    There are many reasons users may suffer these, and similar (and very DISsimilar) issues, not just from the update itself, but prebinding, permissions, system caches, font files, plists....
    now the simple fix is this
    go online to apple.com select the download section in
    the support area of this web page once this is done 
    go and download the update manually and run the
    update manually this will correct any issues with the
    update including cd rom drive errors and even adobe
    product errors 
    You omitted to mention WHICH update file to download - which is the critical part of the advice. Users who experience problems with the update as downloaded by Software Update, should download the 10.4.8 'Combi' update file from the apple/support/downloads page. The combi (combined) update contains the entire thing, not just the bits tailored to what Software Update takes to be the specific system. There are two versions of this file - one for PPC systems and one for Intel - it's important of course to select the correct one for the type of system, being used.
    People often say that the Combi update fixes their problem when in fact what may well be happening is that by installing the combi update version, it overwrites faulty files (plists for example) that had caused the problem the user experienced. Installing this version of the update can certainly RESOLVE these kind of problems, but is not the only way to do so.
    Simple and easy when it works - undoubtedly so.

    Hi melbernai - not sure if you've solved this problem yet. I had the exact same problem recently with my 2nd Gen iPod Nano. I solved it yesterday by simply updating iTunes to the most recent version, after which I could get rid of the register screen. The only other thing I needed to do to add my custom playlists was select "Manually manage music" on the screen for my iPod, since it had been in an automatic synching mode since the problem occurred.

    Same issue here in WI and for me it was at 6:36p CST.
    I'm changed my password, removed iCloud from my phone ... tried 3G and WIFI with no luck. I also cannot check it on my Mac or iPad. I was able to get contacts and calenders back on my phone but no mail yet.
    Did the whole Apple support thing and apparently I'm part of the 1%
    EDIT: Question: are all of you former MobileMe users as well? Just wondering because I know there were going to be some changes as they completely move MobileMe over to iCloud and drop the "extra" services. I just can't remember if it was just a single cut off date or a series of dates. THAT email is stuck in my iCloud folders.

  • Losing calendar data in Entourage when sync with PocketMac on Blackberry

    I have been using PocketMac with my Blackberry Pearl to sync with Entourage. During the last sync I lost all my calendar items in Entourage but they are all still on the Blackberry. I tried the sync again and I can't seem to get my Blackberry to put these items on the Mac. What am I missing?

    "What is 6 of 16 that is locking up, I don't believe it is datebook and if that is the case you can disable that conduit temporarily so you can sync your datebook over, if it is datebook, then I would try a program called dbfixit you can get it from www.pimlicosoftware.com I don't know about dbscan and how well it is, but I find dbfixit to be a wonderful tool to find any corruption. " 
    Well, I don't know.  I am assuming it is 6 of 16 files that need to be synced.  I'm just telling you what the hotsync window says at the point that it locks up. 
    How do I disable the conduit and still have the datebook sync?  If it's disabled, how would it sync at all?  I have set the datebook to "do nothing" and the other applications sync just fine, but not datebook.
    I will try the dbfixit as long as you can assure me it won't erase data.  Thank you

    back up the device in icloud and restore it back to factory settings after doing so setup as new and see if the issue is still there. If it's not merge your icloud info back into your device by just loging in with your apple id after the the setup is complete.

    The 'Winmail.dat' problem has been extensively covered in these forums, I would search for that (a Google search works well) and unfortunately I have not seen the pdf print problem before, but assuming the software is current and functions normally (other than the pdf print problem) I have no suggestion other than the obvious (but time consuming) re-installation of Office.

    Look and see if you have a stalled download in iTunes - it could be a song or a podcast - if there is something that has not completed in there, your app updates will not download. Finish those downloads first, if you have any.
    Check to make sure.
