Chose files to sync on a Backup app?

Can anyone suggest a backup program such as Dropbox ... but one which lets you choose which files/directories to sync.
I want a program (app?) that lets me transfer photos to the cloud .... then erase them on my Macbook/Ipad to save space ... but NOT erase them on the cloud.
Many thanks

I'm sure that there are ways round this even if it is iOS's fault. Essentially when I am doing a synchronisation, the app IS doing something that I want it to be doing - it is NOT idle. I find it hard to believe that iOS just won't let it do the job that I have specifically asked it to do (download an offline copy of my music).

I accidentally deleted an Application on my iphone 5 and with it lost important files. How do i get back these files. The last iphone backup sync was after this so I cant even access an older back up as I cannot find them. How do I get back my Lost files.

On your iMac launch iTunes and at the top next to the Apple symbol click iTunes > Preferences > Devices and tell me what you see. You last sync should be there showing only a device name. If you have an older backup it will be there as well the difference is it will be the device name with a date and time stamp. Sync and backups are two different things and there is a chance iTunes made a backup the first time you hooked up your iPhone 5.

Why do apps not sync -- it says computer not authorized. I tried unauthorizing my computer and then reauthorizing and I tried deleting the sc file. It still says the app is not authorized on this computer.

Did you download the app via that same iTunes account id ? Have you tried re-downloading it directly on your iPad (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519) ?

Backed up iPhone, will unplugging during later sync alter my backup files?

Ok my iPhone needs to be replaced and I was told to come home and do a backup of my data and come in to Apple tomorow to exchange for a new phone.
I hooked up iPhone to iTunes and ran backup which took about 30 minutes or more. No problem. Then I unhooked my phone when done.
The problem is that I reconnected my iPhone to computer because I wanted to save a video to my computer Pictures file. But as soon as I connected to my computer iTunes started syncing my phone (which I did not want to do). I quickly slid my finger across the bar on the phone that said "Slide here to cancel" the sync and stopped it.
My question is: will this fast 5 second "sync" alter my backup files?
Basically I did my backup and then deleted alot of personal videos and photos and such form my phone because I did not want to turn the old phone in with personal items in it. So I did NOT want to sync or backup my phone now that I deleted tons of items. Just worried the fast 5 second sync messed up my backup files.
Can someone put my mind at ease?
Thanks,
Angie

I see my original backup stored in itunes and no other backups since then so I guess I'm safe? The original backup is still there with the correct time so I assume it wasnt changed. I mean after all I stopped the sync process within a few seconds of it starting, so surely no changes were made to my earlier backup...(I hope and pray).
I was just worried since I removed alot from my phone after I backed uo. I did not want itunes to create a backup of my phone since I had deleted so much from all my files.
Tired, hope that made sense. Really worried about handing my phone in tomorrow and hoping my data is all safely saved.

CC application file sync issue and CC App broken menu..

1. File sync from Photoshop CC has stopped working.
Photoshop reports the last sync time and date in edit>sync settings.
However in my Application settings I get the following..
Application settings are synced between many of your favorite desktop applications and Creative Cloud, allowing you to work consistently from any machine. To begin syncing, you will need to open your desktop application and click "Sync Settings Now".
You currently do not have any synced settings.
2. I have missing menu items in the CC app cog menu (I assume as reported on other threads) including "stop syncing", preferences/settings and other blank or greyed out items.
Prior to that I had the also reported dead CC app issue and uninstalled and reinstalled the app, which fixed dead app but left the munu broken.

Hallo over there
After using creative cloud cleaner ....
every things is ok...8-)

Since the CC app messed up again and yet another reinstall, it is working (sort of, after several sync failures of lrcat) properly, including the menu, all be it very slowly considering the fast upload I have.
As is the setting sync finally.
Thanks for keeping me informed, oh wait, you didn't!

Hi there, I have installed iTune on my new Toshiba laptop which runs on Win 8. I can update itune on Toshiba laptop, sync but the iphone Apps still showing app to be updated. Restarted both Itune and iphone....reset phone backup....to no avail.....HELP!

I have removed now all bloatware from laptop, CCleaner run and some more stuff: installed Libre Office, Free Avast, Mozilla Firefox - Spotify was preinstalled. And now this is even better - really simple and fast.
I also removed Ethernet completely, as I don't want to be locked at one place. It's not cool to use laptop on divan sofa. So tired after hour of sitting in uncool position. Wifi speed loss is almost 50%. 95 Mbps I get from 100 Mbps at Ethernet and on Wifi in laptop I get at max 50 Mbps. It's only for end this year this way, then I will slow down my connection anyway as for one person and laptop/smartphone it's way too much of speed for 40 €. With 27€ I can get the same 10M/10M and it will be more than enough. Now I have 100M/10M.
I'm also considering about 50M/10M option for 32.90 €, but I will see what I do. I download now test file 10GB and it loads 30-40 Mbps and sometimes even as fast as 50 Mbps. It depends on server also, but ebven on Google, which works on Ethernet at 95 Mbps, it is on Wifi nothing more than 51 Mbps.
It's also 10GB of 1,100 Offlined tracks, I tested it now. So on trips 32GB card should be enough for my phone. I'm going to one soon :)

Still Major Issues with File/Folder sync

Since trying File and Folder sync last week, I have 2 unresolved issues.
First, I was unable to upload a backup copy of my LR5 Catalog. It's single file (e.g.My_Catalog.lrcat) 1.45GB; MAC OS X; tried uploading it via the CC Desktop app; ran for an hour (3 times) then at the very end reported Failed To Sync - without any further reason. I posted this twice - had over 200 views but no resolution from Staff.
I had tried a few other files - quite a bit smaller in the 10MB range - and they worked. I have deleted everything from my Creative Cloud account under Files though - but the File/Folder sync app shows I've am using 13.49% of my allocation (e.g. 2.69gb of 20gb) - BUT I HAVE NO FILES in the CC nor in the archive. So, clearly something got corrupted when the sync failed and something is lost in limbo.
I could really use some staff support to clean up the mess and explain why I can't backup my catalog to CC - which is actually a very good reason to use CC.

I have fixed your account so that the files are accessible. Please see the email I sent you. Just now I saw your earlier post at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1303026.

Had to restore ipod now it will not sync any of the apps that we have downloaded

Ipod was locked with password daughter forgot, had to restore ipod, now ipod will not sync any of the apps that we downloaded from itunes. Anyone know why???

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1
Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

Is anyone else having problems syncing an external calendar app (Easy Calendar) with iCal using iCloud for syncing?

Prior to upgrading to Mavericks, I would use iTunes to sync my two calendar apps--Easy Calendar (from the app store) and the native iCal and of course, I would wind up with the same calendar events on both calendars after syncing. Since upgrading to Mavericks and--per Apple instructions, using iCloud to sync--I can't sync the two calendars. At this point, I'm thoroughly confused about where I can go to find/see a backup of my non-iCal calendar app that's on my iPhone. I'm beginning to think that if I don't use Apple's iCal, I can't back up or sync my calendar events using a non-native app such as Easy Calendar. Is that correct?

I, too, had long waiting times. Here's what worked for me.
As I went through some of my Pages and Numbers documents, I got warnings that there were sync discrepancies (differing versions in iCloud and on my iPads and laptop). So, I removed everything from iCloud Drive using my laptop (saved to local folder). I let my iPads sync so they removed all the iCloud-based documents. On the laptop I went through and forced everything to the latest file format (latest Pages and Numbers on Yosemite) by re-saving, then copied everything back into iCloud Drive. My iPads both updated within seconds and everything now syncs quickly.
Don't know if eliminating sync discrepancies is the solution, but it seems to have worked in my case. Hope it might help others.

Problem with restore in Backup.app

I just bought a new external hard disk and did a full back up using Backup.app. Then I needed to restore my iPhoto libary and here's what I got.
Restore failed.

Are you really on 10.8.1 as per your profile - maybe updating to 10.8.3 might help.

(iOS 7.1.1) Google Contacts no longer sync with my contacts app

Hello everyone. So recently I noticed that my Google Contacts no longer sync with my Contacts app, and this is really upsetting as I'm a person who needs to have updated contacts and both my phone, as well as a backup on my Gmail account, as I am both a Google and Apple user.
I am using an iPhone 5S, on 7.1.1.
My Settings has my Gmail account signed in, and has the "Contacts" switch turned on. I deleted the account, and re entered it, and I am still not seeing any activities of the Google Contacts and Contacts app syncing.
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, so I would really appreciate it if someone could give me some ideas as to what might be going on. I'm real tech savvy but I have no idea what caused my contacts to stop syncing. My Google Calendar events sync just fine, so that's even more confusing.

Okay.. it won't let me go back and edit my earlier postings however... the problem is solved. I went in and Deleted ANY resource that iSync could get it's hands on that it kept in the iSync folder and the SyncServices Folder in the Libray Folder under Users. I actually moved the contents for those folders to a different volume. I then deleted the resources for Palm Desktop making it create a new user account. The Next time I opened iSync.. It went crazy trying to find resources.. it opened Calendar for me and I never saw it open address book but I saw that it was reading Addresses. I then Opened iTunes next and noticed that my full contacts from my address book were put back on my iPod!
Shew!!! one down and one to go. I prayed and added my palm device to iSync. Then I synced and got conflict popups for my Addresses and Calendars asking me how to reconcile ( I was only getting those for the Calendars earlier). I then re-synced and checked my Palm and All of my contacts were in the Treo 650! I then changed a few entries and synced again for a few tests and it appears to be fixed.
This is the problem with gradual upgrades as opposed to clean installs when you update your OS. It's just that OS X doesn't give you that option. in the Pre OS X days I would never just upgrade my OS. I would also Re-Format and Re-install. That's always been my preference.

I have just installed itune again. now i sync problem of existing music will be replace with new itune which is empty. how can i keep my pervious files and sync new....

Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back on the computer.

Backup.app problems when trying to restore from a MYBOOK drive FAT32

I recently purchased a MYBOOK external drive and used backup.app in (Max OS X Vers 10.4) to backup my iphoto files. When I went to restore the files, the restore failed.
I was unaware (when I used backup.app with the MYBOOK destination) that I probably should have reformatted the drive in MAC extended (journal) instead of leaving it in FAT32. I think this is likely the problem.
I have also recently upgraded to Leopard, which seems to be working fine.
Does anyone know how I can retrieve my photos that are sitting out in the external drive (about 30GB of data.....)

If all else fails, you could go to the backup folder itself, right click on it, and fish around to find your JPEG files. Inelegant but you'll be able to get them... the fact that's a FAT32 file won't affect the JPEG files themselves (they don't have resource forks).
Once you have all your data off there I'd definitely suggest you reformat it as HFS+ (Journaled). In fact, to use Time Machine, you must reformat the drive.

IPhone freezes when sync is in 'backup' stage

I recently started getting freezes every time I sync. Its very predictable:
connect iPhone
sync begins
sync starts to 'backup'
iphone freezes
This happens regardless if its a automatic sync or if I turn that off and do it manually. The only way to sync is to bypass the backup step by changing sync settings and hitting apply.
Sometimes if I delete the backup and it has to make a fresh one it will work, but the last time I tried this it did not (first time it failed to work).
I called apple and they had no idea and said it needs service. I can't test it on a different Mac...maybe user account...so I'm not sure if its a software thing with my system.
FYI...I have restarted, reset, reinstalled re-everything. I have done all the usual steps. NO matter how much or how little data I sync, it freezes so turning off photos/music/etc does not work.
Any ideas?

I have the exact same problem. In a different thread I have found a partial solution; it will do an automatic sync without the "apply" trick but it will not make a back up:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6406167
"The only way around this is to disable backups. You can force this by
moving the backup agent from its location at
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework/Resources/
AppleMobileDeviceHelper.app/Contents/Resources/AppleMobileBackup
You should then be able to sync with your iPhone again, but
unfortunately it won't get backed up."

Remove the AppleMobileDevice app as instructed, copy it to another folder and trash the one in the app.
Plug in phone and click sync...it will say its taking a backup still (if it does i have no idea, but in my itunes it said it made one) i clicked a few options around and press sync again a few times.
Then i copied he AppleMobileDevice back in again, disconnected the phone and reconnected...and now it works properly! It backs up every time, ive tried unplugging and reconnecting and it works everytime. I even have automatic sync ticked and the backup works everytime.
It appears we just needed to remove this AppleMobileDevice, then whatever issues Itunes was having during backup no longer happen when you click sync..excellent! and no need to erase all from phone!"
But that didn't work for me.
Any help very welcome!

I want to sync data into an app.how to do so?

i want to sync data into an app.how to do so?

For example: Import PDFs to your iPod. The "Adobe Reader" app must be installed and the iDevice must be connected to iTunes.
@ ishan anthony In the "iPod" tab go to Apps and then click Open. Select your file (must be compatible with the app" and click Copy. No syncing, nothing. File will be just copied.
