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!!
:)

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....

Can I sync database files over to Mobile Me and then from MobileMe to iPod?

Many programs will allow you to sync over Mobile Me and but not over a USB connection. Can I sync the files on my Mac to Mobile Me and then sync them to my iPod when I am somewhere that has a WiFi connection? I am asking this because the place I work does not have WiFi and I need to have a WiFi connection to sync database files (such as OmniFocus, Billings, and Bento.)

"I hope they fix this in a later update."
I don't think that it is broken. I think that it is intentional ( by design). Possibly to make it more difficult to use ipod touch to pirate/steal music/movies/etc.
The ipod touch and iphone have never had this feature.
Who knows?

How can I sync text files into iPhone?

How can I sync text files into iPhone? like doc. txt. for reading or editing

The native iPhone OS doesn't allow that. I think there are several solutions to this, some of which may be against the AT&T or Apple rules. One legitimate solution is The Missing Sync for iPhone by mark/space (http://www.markspace.com).
Before I had an iPhone, I owned a copy of The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile. It was a pretty decent app. In my opinion, though, their app for the iPhone is NOT worth the price ($40 new, $25 for a cross-grade).
Also, check the App Store (if you have 2.0 software)--there may be an app that does this, probably for a lot less $.

Can I access local files?

I am writing an application using Adobe Air that will have to utilize and store media files locally on a user's computer. My marketing team now believes that a downloadable application that will be installed on a user's computer will be a dealbreaker for some users due to the fear of a virus, so now they are suggesting that we will have better sales numbers if people just need to log into a website to use the application. No problem, Air applications can be embedded into a website. But can an Air application embedded in a browser still store and manipulate files on a user's computer? Storing media files for a large number of individuals can become cost prohibitive, so rather than store them online, we would like to create a folder on a user's system to organize their files. Is this possible with a web-embedded Air application?
Thanks.

AIR applications are always installed on the user's computer. You cannot run an AIR application on a website. On a web page, you can include a link to download or install an AIR application.
AIR applications can access local files.
Flash Player applications can also access local files, but the user first grants permission. For example, see the FileReference.load() and FileReference.save() methods (added in Flash Player 10):

HT4059 Can I sync PDF files from my iPhone 4 to my new iPad wirelessly without iTunes?

Can I sync PDF files from my iPhone 4 to my new iPad wirelessly without iTunes

Yes, you can. Just add files to iTunes library (FILE > ADD FILES TO LIBRARY....) and they will appear under Books library.
Connect you device, select the Books tab, and make sure those books or pdf you want them over are being checked, then click the SYNC button on the lower right window.

HT204053 Can you sync pages files on different devices with different apple ids?

Can you sync pages files on different devices with different apple ids? I have a personal iPad and one given to me for work. They are set up with two different apple IDs. I do all of my lesson plans in pages. I want to be able to create plans on both devices, but need to know if there is a way to sync the files without emailing, etc.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
No, that's not possible. A better way of working around this than emailing the documents to yourself is to use a third party storage solution such as Dropbox and a webDAV server to upload the documents.

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.

Can I sync PDF files between my iPhone and iPad?

Can I sync PDF files between my iPhone and iPad?

Yes, and we will have integration with our Mobile Readers as well. We've already submitted to Apple for review, and will be live once they complete their review and approval.
With this, we'll allow you to share files pretty easily between Desktop, Tablet and Phone across all OSes...and when you make changes, we'll automatically bring them to and from your phone/tablet! Pretty cool.

Can't drag local files into a playlist

I like to drag local MP3s into a playlist. I can't do that anymore. I can see them in my Local Files and then drag them.. but it was so much easier to drag and drop the ones I want from my finder window. Anybody else?

I've reverted to an old Spotify version - http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2015-03/12/how-to-downgrade-spotify - until they fix this and various other issues introduced with this update (although note - I'm having problems getting this downgrading to work on OSX). All in all a very unfortunate turn of events, as picking such an app like Spotify to use to entirely manage one's music, create all one's playlists in it, etc, requires a huge amount trust in the system (since all the playlists one creates etc are somewhat stuck in that system), and this update breaks-down that trust by showing Spotify's willingness to break all kinds of features which many users depend on. I imagine I'll stick on the old version a while, then see if things have improved, and if not I'll have to pick an alternate solution, hopefully with a company that actually cares a little more about its users. These are by no means the first issues Spotify has created or failed to resolve regarding local file support (syncing them to devices has always been painful and hasn't fully worked for all my playlists for years despite a few fresh installs for example - compare this to google music which has cloud support for your own music), among other things, but definitely for me this was the straw that's broken the camel's back.

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

How can I disable local file access security check?

Windows 7
Firefox 3.6.16
I would like to disable the security check used for blocking access to local files.

I don't know if this is completely correct, but...
I have the NoScript extension installed. When I looked in about:config, I found an entry called:
noscript.allowLocalLinks
When I toggled this to "true," I was able to navigate via URLs to local and networked files.
When I looked it up, I found out that you can set this switch using the NoScript UI (Options|Advanced|Trusted).

QT Plugin 7.1.5 can't play local files

I have several webpages that use the embedded quicktime plugin to play movies on the page. These movies are large so they are downloaded to the local machine in advance where the plugin plays them from the local file. This has worked fine until upgrading to the QT Plugin version 7.1.5. With the new version, if I try and play the movie from a local file, the movie wont play, instead I get the quicktime logo with a question mark. I can play the movie just fine from the full quicktime install, or if I use the plugin to stream the video from a url off the server, instead of the local hard drive. This problem exists when viewing the webpage in Internet Explorer 6, I have not tried IE 7 or Firefox yet.
Is there a parameter within the QT Plugin, or within the browser that I need to set to allow playing a local file from a html page served by a remote server, or is this a case where tightened security is going to kill me? Thanks for any suggestions.
Windows XP Pro IE 6, QT Plugin 7.1.5

The link above is a QuickTime Media Link file. Simple text based URL that will download a very tiny file to the viewers computer (Mac or PC).
It will launch the QuickTIme Player app (bypassing the browser plug-in).
You could use the QuickTime files already on your server (and already being downloaded) as the "source" in the Media Link file so there is no increase in your bandwidth load. Viewers can also load your file (from cache) by clicking on the .qtl file again saving you some bandwidth.
