Buy on AppleTV, Sync, Manage, Now Gone

Hi folks,
Hopefully this is an easy one for most of you. Here's what I did:
1) Bought Lost: Season 2 on AppleTV. Enjoyed a few episodes with the better half.
2) It synced to a near full MBP. All is good.
3) I went on business travel with my MBP.
4) Like I do with all videos, I dumped the entire season (24 episodes) to an external hard drive*, deleted the files in iTunes, and copied the aliases back to iTunes. All is well on the MBP and I can watch them right now from the external hard drive. But back home:
5) AppleTV now shows NO record of them. I am quite impressed with the "connected-ness" of it all, but my better half is ******!!
*After copying, I removed the external hard drive from the MBP. Could that have done it?
Help please.

# Yes, if you go to accounts.firefox.org, sign out, you will now be signed out.
# Sign back in, and you will be asked to save the password you entered.
# This will save the password and autocomplete if you have this option turned on.
I am not exactly sure why the menu did not detect the password change or if it was stored incorrectly after you changed it? But after storing the correct password you can manage any duplicate passwords in the password manager.[[Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox]]

Please google search for "Mountain Lion disk crash" before upgrading you mac pro. You might need to replace you Mac hard drive after the upgrade.So many people had the same problems including me.
Be aware of the Mountain Lion upgrade problem.

AppleTV sync and Network home directories

I am unable to see the AppleTV device in more than one location, using the same login account.
I have an Xserve that contains user accounts in Open Directory. This Xserve also manages user home directories. This allows me to log on to any machine with the same account and get to my home folder. Do not confuse this with what I believe is called Mobile accounts where the home directory is copied locally to each machine and is kept in sync with the server. Once I log out, nothing remains on the client machine.
So, turned on my AppleTV, logged into my Xserve since it was not being used. This account is also not "local" to the Xserve, i.e. not under /Users/. Launched iTunes, saw the AppleTV, typed in the 5 digit code, and watch the AppleTV sync. OK, no issues. Logged off the Xserve. Logged onto the desktop using the same account I just used on the Xserve. Launched iTunes, no AppleTV listed. Not cool!
Is AppleTV restricted to syncing to one computer, one account, one ip address, or one MAC address? If it is one computer how does it know the different machines?

Thanks folks for the comments but I don't believe I am coming across correctly.
Patience this is a bit compplicated
Infrustructure:
1. Xserve1 running Open Directory, managing multiple client computers and users to include user home directory location via Workgroup Manager.
2. Xserve2 handling 7 Tera Bytes of home directory storage. Repeat 7 Tera Bytes of home directory storage.
3. Many Mac desktops running 10.4.10. Only one local account, we'll call him local-admin on any of these machines which is the local admin account for that machine. Absolutely no other information for users resides on these machines.
When User1 logs onto Desktop1, Desktop1 makes a query for information from Xserve1. Xserve1 response saying the login is correct and that User1's home directory is located on Xserve2. User1 is now logged into Desktop1. Open a Finder window and if you did not know any better you would think User1 was a local user to Desktop1 because you see in Finder on the left column you have the standard items appear such as a "Home" icon next to the username, Desktop, Documents, Movies, Music, etc display. Click on anyone of them and you are in the proper place. User1 loggs off of Desktop1.
User1 now logs onto Desktop2 for whatever reason. Maybe Desktop1 was being used by User34. Desktop2 repeats what Desktop1 did. Makes the call to Xserve1, mounts the home from Xserve2. If you were to go back to Desktop1 you would find no trace of User1 except maybe in log files. The only user listed in MachintoshHD -> Users or in Unix terms /Users would be local-admin. So User1 is the only user and the iTunes library located in User1's home directory is the only library being dealt with.
On to AppleTV:
User1 loggs into Desktop1. Types in code to lock Desktop1 as the syncing source for User1's library. What was not initially understood was AppleTV also is locking Desktop1 as the streaming source for User1's library. You will see in a moment how I found this out. User1 selects the Photos to sync, turns off Movie syncing, selects Music etc. Sync finishes. AppleTV can play content can switch to streaming source and play the videos. User1 logs off Desktop1 and AppleTV acknowledges this by greying out User1's library as a streaming source.
User1 logs into Desktop2. User1 notices AppleTV still shows User1's library is greyed put as a streaming source. Shouldn't that no longer be greyed out since it is the same library? OK, lets add Desktop2 as a New Additional Streaming source. Types in the code that AppleTV displays on User1's library on Desktop2. The Sources screen on AppleTV now changes slightly. The new streaming source is added below a white line. The AppleTV source is still white letters and the original streaming source above the line is still greyed out. The new streaming source is selected and content is viewable. User1 logs off of Desktop2. The new streaming source greys out as expected.
User1 logs back into Desktop1 to sync some more photos to the AppleTV. Desktop1 is used since that is the original syncing computer. iTunes is launched. User1 waits, and waits, and waits. The AppleTV device never appears back in iTunes. Checking the AppleTV, all content is gone. User1 logs back onto Desktop2 to see if streaming still works. Nope, streaming no longer works.
Spent almost 2 hours on the phone with Apple support. Nice bunch of folks. Spoke with multiple tiers of AppleTV support and even had a gentleman on from the Enterprise Division on the phone. They are elevating this up higher and promise to get back with me. Hoping.
Complicated, yes.
My thoughts on how to solve this, don't lock the device to a computer, lock the device to an account for syncing. Also, don't automatically lock a streaming source when locking a syncing source.

Creative Sync Manager:---- CRAS

The Creative Sync Manager crashes every time I plug in my Zen Micro (vers. ..0) with the message "Creative Sync Manager has encountered a problem".
I have:
WindowsXP SP2 all patches to date.
Zen Micro FW Vers. ..0
Installed Zen Micro Driver 2.0 and ZenCast (which includes Sync Manager vers. 6.4.6)
Please do not suggest I update firmware. I really don't want firmware 2.x.
Does anyone have any suggestions? It just doesn't seem right that the Sync Manager should CRASH when a Zen Micro is plugged in, no matter what the firmware version.
Thanks,
Unit_

Same problem here.
Zen Vision M:30gb XP Pro laptop and Vista Desktop both do the same thing. Very frustrating, and making me feel foolish for not buying an iPod - I'm sorry but its true. I wasted 2 hours trying to get this to work yesterday, and even when it works, the podcasting implementation is poor. If they get this fixed, and then make it better, I may stay loyal but its not looking likely just now!
Great player... better than an iPod in my view... but horribly let down by the software.

Creative Sync Manager crashes, ZE

Great player but the software is horrible. I can't even believe that Creative would allow this to be shipped if so many people are having problems with the Creative Sync Manager crashing. I even debated returning my Zen W because of the horrible software.
I have updated all of the firmware and my player came with the latest files. Purchased 2 weeks ago.
Creative? !!!! are you doing something about this ??

Bought a Movie and then my ipad restored and now gone.

Bought a Movie and then my ipad restored on its own when I was trying to sync it and now gone. Itunes won't let me re-buy it because they know I already bought it but I still cant view it or find it any where
Also, I bought another movie and sync my ipad with my computer, its on my computer but can't find it on my ipad

Hi, my iPad said its downloaded but I cannot find it... I have a ton of apps on the iPhone and had no trouble downloading the movie... I found it in my Playlists... Maybe the iPad the movie somewhere, but I'm not familiar.. Could not find playlists...

Creative Sync Manager weird bug (featur

Hi,
I'm a new Zen Touch 20GB owner although I've been an avid 3G iPod owner before it died on me some time ago. Anyway, I love my new Zen Touch for what it worth but if only if the bundled software would perform better. Well, first of all, I find Creative MediaSource Organizer to be quite a decent audio player despite the weird 4-panes navigation scheme. I have no problem with it yet though.
However, the accompanying sync plugin/module for my Zen Touch is very disappointing.
Before I start ranting, here are some details:
Mp3 Player:
Zen Touch 20GB
Date of purchase: 0/2/2005
Firmware: 2.0.05 (PlayForSure)
Creative MediaSource:
Version 3.30.2 with updated driver for PlayForSure-enabled Zen Touch
Now back to the issue. First, it takes more than 0 seconds to initialise. Loading a big chunk of drivers for all MP3 players Creative have ever produced or what? Second, it doesn't have an option to delete files in my zen player which are not in my PC library. Third, it REFUSES TO REPLACE MP3 files that are already in the player eventhough the files are listed before the syncing procedure. You see, I edit ID3 tags of my music collection all the time so it is natural for me to have my modified ID3 tags to reflect on the files on my Zen Touch as well. OK sure, when I fire up the sync manager, it manages to detect that I have all these files with updated ID3 tags needed to be copied over to my Zen Touch but why in the name of creativity wouldn't it copy the files just like it should do? The files are already in my Zen Touch? Just replace them! I know what I want to do so just replace them! Or at least give me the "Do you want to replace the files?" box with "Yes" or "No" button. Why do I have to go into the directory structure of my zen player and delete the files manually in order to get the latest files copied over?
I hope this issue is fixed soon. Don't give me those "download the freeware NomadSync etc" advices. Why bother releasing the bundled software if it cannot do such a simple job of replacing files already in the player.
p/s: I read the "read before you post" post and I already did some searches in the forum for previously posted posts on the issue above but it seems that I'm the first one to discover it. Or maybe everyone else just doesn't care and decided to suck it up?Message Edited by anatilmizun on -09-2005 02:57 AM

well, I don't mind having to use other program for not-so-common jobs, but this is about replacing/overwriting files that are already in the player. I did mention that the sync manager is smart enough to make a list of files that it thinks should be synced to my zen touch but why won't it copy the files over? Isn't it weird if you sit and think about it's Isn't the real purpose of sync manager to copy files from PC to Zen or vice versa so that both places have the exact set of files? So what if the destination already has the files? The files are different, as detected by sync manager, so it should just overwrite them. It is the basic job the Sync Manager is supposed to do, isn't it's Why should I use another program?
It's like sync manager saying "hey, I think the files X, Y and Z in your MP3 player are outdated so I am going to sync them. WHoaaaa! There are already X, Y and Z in your MP3 player so I'm going to leave them alone" Sense any weirdness or craziness about this hypotethic monologue?Message Edited by anatilmizun on -0-2005 0:09 AM

FIREFOX 35.0 'NEW' SYNC: I'm already signed-in to Sync but when I click on FF Sync/"Manage" in 'Options' I receive a message that my password is incorrect. Why?

Hi Mozilla support,
My query is twofold but interrelated ... and sorry for the protracted dialogue, in advance :)
(1) Regarding my Sync "Password" + (2) Strange issue in Options/'Sync'/"Manage
Set out below is my 'issue'.
Perhaps you can clarify what is going on here for me and help me to stop this strange occurrence.
I've used firefox since 3.5 and love it.
I now have Firefox 35 on Windows 8 (64-bit) with the 'new' Sync successfully set-up on a newish HP Desktop computer (Envy 23).
While my 'issue' doesn't cause a huge problem, it IS a source of unnecessary frustration & confusion.
If possible I'd like to eliminate that unnecessary stress and enjoy using FF again.
Additionally, I thought this peculiar 'issue' may be an indication of something else amiss in my FF Sync or my FF settings.
Here is the scenario:-
At the moment, I'm signed in to Firefox "Sync" and it IS definitely syncing successfully - the 'circular arrows' spin around & tell me when it was last synced, so I know that's okay.
However, after the last update (to 35.0), I had to "reconnect" sync because it has "disconnected" .
I had terrible trouble signing back in, even though I was using the exact same password I had been using prior to the update.
After several failed attempts to sign in and FF repeatedly telling me I was using the 'incorrect' password, I closed the browser down & restarting FF 35.
FF had somehow 'signed me in' automatically - with the same password I thought was correct or not, I don't know.
Anyway, after all the trouble signing-in I not only felt dubious that all the data WAS syncing, I wanted to take a closer look.
But also I needed to check which password was being used for Sync, when FF signed me in (after the update & restart).
To double-check sync was working properly, I went into - "Options"/Firefox Sync/"Manage" - and was told that I needed to (quote): "Sign in, Continue to Firefox Sync".
I thought it was strange as only a couple of minutes before that, FF had already signed me in & sync seemed to be working. (the circular arrows were spinning)
Not knowing what was going on, I did as suggested by FF and entered my User-name & Password (for a second time).
I was then informed my password was 'incorrect' (please see uploaded/attached image).
I found this odd, considering this 'message' came up even though FF itself had signed me in to Sync after the update to 35 & restart of the browser.
What is confusing to me is the mixed-messages I'm receiving from FF.
FF must have signed me in to Sync using the very same Password that I've used since the 'new' sync was set-up & had been using for some time, but was now informing me in - 'Options/Sync/"Manage" - that the password was incorrect.
Although I am, at this moment, signed in to sync & it is working, I'm utterly confused as to what is or isn't the correct Password.
*If it can be avoided, I don't want to change it because I've saved it in so many places in PC, for future reference.*
Can I 're-save' the same password for Sync again, so that I can be sure that it's correct?
Also, for me, this strange behaviour by FF sync is an unnecessary source of angst and would love you to tell me what is going on or how to fix it please?

# Yes, if you go to accounts.firefox.org, sign out, you will now be signed out.
# Sign back in, and you will be asked to save the password you entered.
# This will save the password and autocomplete if you have this option turned on.
I am not exactly sure why the menu did not detect the password change or if it was stored incorrectly after you changed it? But after storing the correct password you can manage any duplicate passwords in the password manager.[[Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox]]

Something has changed on my iPod. When I sync it now it scrambles music between playlists. So, I will be listening to my jazz playlist when suddenly holiday music from another playlist is there. When I go to iTunes, however, the playlist is as it should be--jazz in the jazz playlist, holiday music in the holiday music playlist. I have two iPods--one is syncing properly while the older one is not. Any thoughts?

You are currently managing your music manually. You can either sync or manage the music manually, not both. If you want to sync, all the music currently on your phone will be erased and replaced with whatever you decide to sync to it.

I'm trying to add my Linux netbook to my sync account but both my windows computers will not show the "Add Device" button in any of the sync management screens

I'm trying a new Linux build on a net book that I use for playing with non windows OS. In the process of setting up the fresh OS install I wanted in get my Firefox account set up to that I didn't have to spend lots of time working on that one thing. I'm no stranger to the browser sync and have attached several of my computers and tablets with a number of different OS to the account with little trouble including the Firefox of the previous Linux build that was on the net book. The problem now is that on both of my to main computers, a windows 7 desktop and a windows 8.1 tablet, both running the latest Firefox, I am unable to find the "add device" button in any of the sync management screens. This includes the browsers built in options screen as well as the Firefox manage account page. The first gives me options for disconnecting the account, going to the manage screen, several check boxes for what can be synced, and the device name. The manage screen, after logging in, only give me options for signing out, changing password, and deleting the account. Any help figuring out why the add device button seem to be missing from both these devices would be greatly appreciated.

Please check your Firefox Installation's version. (can be found by clicking the main menu, either clicking or hovering over the help button, and then clicking about firefox in the sub menu). depending on how long ago you set up sync you may still be using the older sync version. firefox 29 introduced a new (and might i add far less tedious) sync version. see [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync|this Mozilla support article]] for information on upgrading your sync to the new version.

Zen Sync Manager doesn't work with Windows 7

I have a Zen 6GB MP3 player, firmware version .2.03_0.03.0.
I recently upgraded my computer from Windows Vista to Windows 7. Sync Manager (looks like version 6.4.8.0, dated 7/7/2007) worked fine with Vista, and it even worked for a few days after I upgraded, but now it does not recognize that there is a player connected.
Zen Media Explorer still works, so I can drag and drop audio files to the Zen, but this is a bit of a pain. More importantly, I need to find a way to sync organizer (Outlook) data.
I have tried running Sync Manager in various compatibility modes (Vista, XP SP3, XP SP2), but it still will not recognize the player. From something I read in another post in this forum, I'm wondering if I need to uninstall Sync Manager and reinstall it in a compatibility mode? All my other applications work fine with Win 7, so I'm not that familiar with how to use compatibility mode properly.
Thanks!

I tried every which way to solve this problem, and in the end contacted Ctreati've tech support. They advised the following:
"Please be advised that, currently, we do not have Creative Media Explorer (Sync Manager) and firmware updates available for ZEN on Windows 7 OS.
Creative is working constantly on updates for Windows 7 users who are using Creative products. These updates will be deli'vered from time to time on our website. We encourage you to often visit our support site, http://support.creative.com/ and forum page, http://forums.creative.com/ for product updates and announcements."
Frustrating; it looks like a matter of waiting ...

Error in sync Manager since installing B1 PL19

Hi,
since I installed Pl19 for B1, i get this problem in Syncmanager
when the application loads, I get a popup saying
"The procedure entry point MiniDumpWriteDump could not be located in the dynamic link library dbghelp.dll"
also in the log window of sync Manager I then see
"Object reference not set to an instance of an object" and if I click "Try Connection" I get this error (along with the original popup)
SBO Error #127: - The specified procedure could not be found.
Event log shows this information for that error:
SBO Error #127: - The specified procedure could not be found.
   at NetPoint.SynchSBO.Synch.SetCompany()
   at NetPoint.SynchSBO.Synch.get_SBOCompany()
   at NetPoint.SynchSBO.Synch.get_Plugins()
   at NetPoint.SynchSBO.Synch..ctor(Company company, SecurityTicket ticket, ArrayList plugins, Int32 pricinginterval)
   at NetPoint.SynchService.NPSynchService.CycleTimer_Tick(Object sender, ElapsedEventArgs e)
All of the settings for sync are now blank
I have tried this on two machines, and the result is the same, reinstallation of Netpoint sync manager did not change the situation.
The odd thing is that I did a full sync immediatley after upgrading to PL19 and it worked just fine, however the server then was rebooted and since then, I have this problem. DI API has been updated using the version supplied in the PL19 upgrade package.
Netpoint version is 5.9.6, Running on Windows Server 2000 SP4.

Hi Shawn,
Thanks for the information.
Regarding your points
-I originally went with the Synch Manager installed on my SAP Server. However this caused issues with a 3rd party addon (called Amodat) so I moved Netpoint Sync manager to another server, where it worked happily (with the DIAPI installed)
-Since the upgrade to PL19 the problems occurred, specifically when I rebooted the server two days after the upgrade, presumably at this point something got re/un registered and this caused problems.
-The PL19 DIAPI installation, (which also coincidentally killed my Amodat and required me to delete the 680318 folders from my temp directories, there is a sdn note about it somewhere) is, I am sure, the cause of the problem but then again I have removed it fully and installed ONLY the 2004 DIAPI and still I get no joy.
-The regsvr32 test on the SAPbobsCOM dll was used just to verify that the DLL was not being properly registered on the server, other than that I have used the installer to install/remove it at all times.
-My initial concern was that something had changed in the DIAPI for PL19 and that (forward compatibility aside, it doesn't always work!) the Interop dll that shipped with the Netpoint Sync was going to need updating.
-However since I did manage to get the sync Manager running on another machine since I think this is probably an issue for SAP SDK/B1 Support and not Netpoint directly.
Phew. I guess what I'm saying is, I was just hoping that someone elese had the same problem and a handy solution already, I will continue to chase this via normal support channels from a B1 perspective.
So thanks a million to everyone for all your help so far, if you come across anything please post it up here!

Using Sync Manager for LabVIEW OI exe & TestStand

We would like to have our LabVIEW Operator Interface executable send data via a TestStand queue to a logging sequence. The SyncManager API sounds like a slick way to do this because it provides access to TS syncronization objects from other processes outside of TestStand. I created an experimental sequence to try out the concept. The sequence creates a queue with a TestStand Queue step, enqueues an item with another TS queue step, then uses ActiveX calls into the SyncManager API to add another item to the queue. That all works.
When I added a LabVIEW VI to enqueue another item via similar ActiveX calls into the SyncManager API, the VI does not get a valid reference to the queue and so it can't enqueue the item.
I read on the forum that the TS queue name needs to start with * in order to be accessed by separate processes on the same machine. When I prepend a * on my queue name, the TS queue steps continue to work, but the step that uses an ActiveX call into the SyncManager API to get a reference to the queue returns a null ref so the following ActiveX enqueue step returns an error. Plus the LabVIEW VI still doesn't get a valid reference to the queue either.
Ideas and suggestions welcome! The sequence and LabVIEW VI are attached. Using LV and TS 2012, got similar results in 2013SP1 .
Thanks!

Thank you very much dug9000. I unchecked the Create Object box in the sequence step adapter settings and disabled the Automation Open node in the VI. Now the sequence ActiveX steps can get a valid queue ref for a queue named "*TestQueue" and can enqueue an item. Yay! The VI gets now gets a valid reference to the queue and can get the numbers of items on the queue. Yay! But, I have not been able to get the VI to successfully enqueue an item. I tried both passing the sequence context and a null sequence context to the IQueue Enqueue method, but no luck either way. The updated zip file is attached. More help would be greatly appreciated!
