Desktop app + iPhone app syncing

Hello,
I have problems with syncing iPhone apps like Remote and 1password with desktop apps (iTunes & 1password).
First and foremost – my firewall *allows all incoming connections*. I triple-checked it and it’s ok.
Second – FileMagnet has no problems connecting and I’m able to sync files over the air without any issues.
Both apps (Remote, 1password) take ages connecting. Remote finally fails throwing me an error.
I know it’s something wrong with my Mac or Wi-Fi, because I’m able to connect to my iTunes library with Remote at work with my MacBook Air.
Can you help me? Or should I reinstall the whole OS? :/

A couple of possibilities.
Is your wi-fi set up as 'g' or 'n'? Some people have reported problems connecting to 'n' networks. You might try switching settings, or trying a mixed setting (if the router allows it).
Is your router allocating a legit address to the iPhone? Possible factors are: more than one DHCP server on the network; IP addresses fixed to mac addresses, and an address conflict (I had this when I got my 3G - it was trying to use the same IP address allocated to my old iPhone, and the mapping was fixed).
What frequency is wi-fi at? Some routers allow 5GHz as well as 2.4GHz on 'n' networks. 2.4 is generally safer.
Hope this helps

CC desktop app syncs all my files again- Why please?

I don't know, why my CC wants to sync all my files in the cloud again? Over 10 GB…
It was all synced…
Max OS X 10.8.5
CC desktop app Version 1.7.1.418

Lux Larson I am sorry but there is not currently an option to selectively sync files. Are any types of modifications or updates being made to the files? Have you closed any third party applications or utilities which could be modifying the files and affecting the sync behavior?

I CANNOT get my desktop and iPhone to sync iCal

No matter what I do, including plugging the iphone into the desktop and 'syncing', no iCal data is transferred from the iPhone to my desktop! Uggggg-I can't wait for Cloud and pray it becomes far easier. You cannot believe how much time I spend deleting duplicate and triplicate events, inputting data twice - into the iPhone and then into the desktop so they match. It seems pretty ridiculous to have to make this so labor intensive when it should be so streamlined.
Where does the problem lie? I don't know...I think I need to hire a consultant to come and sort out this mess.

Debra,
Try Mac OS X: Resetting the SyncServices folder. Use the Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard and OS X Lion link.

You are talking about the menu bar of Itunes, right?
Yes. With iTunes open the menu bar is at the top of your screen.
where exactly is the Store/synck you iphone option?
After you authorize the computer connect your iPhone then follow the instructions here > iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
When you are done transferring the data to the desktop, right or control click the iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window then click Back Up.
That way you will have a backup just in case you need to restore your iPhone.

Is there any way to get my reminders (from the new iPhone app) to sync with something on my laptop (Mail, iCal, some other desktop app)?

Yes, if you have iCloud set up on your phone and computer, then reminders will be synced through iCal.

Documents to Go Desktop App will not sync with iPhone and iPad

This used to work perfectly and now, it just stopped being able to sync. The desktop shows that my devices are disconnected? I've uninstalled and reinstalled and the desktop app won't recognize any devices. Any ideas?? I'm using Windows 7 PC and syncing to iPhone 4 and iPad. hanks.

This user tip might help you understand how accounts work with Address Book.
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

 Cheers, Tom

The computer that I had my iphone apps synced to has died and I don't know how to get access to my apps on the new computer. I'm using a Windows pc. I understand that I can only have my apps synced to one computer at a time, but the former pc is dead.

My HP Touchsmart died the other day. My husband works on computers as a hobby and was able to get me up and running on a Dell laptop in no time. I have an iPhone 4s and had all my apps on itunes on my HP. I understand that you can only have your iPhone apps synced to one computer at a time, but what do you do when the computer containing all your info is in unusable condition? I have tried deauthorizing all the computers associated with my account, that did not work. I had this problem once before and finally ( after much blood sweat and tears ) was able to deauthorize the old computer, but it was in working order. Two of the computers that are listed under the iTunes Wi-Fi Sync setting are no longer in use, the HP had my apps synced to it and the other had everything else except my photos, which are on a third computer that is still in use. Please forgive for information overload but am trying to give all the info that I think could be relevant. Your help would be appreciated so much!
Sincerely,
PiPI

Or better yet... try a search, I'm certain you'll find a solution to whatever issue you're experiencing.
I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself.

When i try to back up purchased items being apps etc its keeps asking for the old one. help

See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. But you'll still need the password.
Once you have the computer authorized to use the account she could change the password again to stop you buying apps on her card (assuming it's not on yours!). It would lock you out of upgrading them too but they should work unless she uses the deathorize all feature.
It depends on how amicable the split is...

All my apps (even App Store!) disappeared (iPad 1 upgrade to ios5). Most apps show up on laptop but app sync is greyed (no restrictions). I have 2 accounts due to apple email req, but I've loaded apps between my iPhone and iPad before. iPad now zero.

I postponed upgrading my iPad 1 because iTunes told me it wasn't homed on my computer. I tried it on my other computers, all with the same message. I finally upgraded it from my MacBook after appearing to sync the apps. When it finished (5.01), all of my apps and data were gone, as well as several stock apps including the App Store itself (although it appears in settings). Since what seems to be all of my apps (iPad and iPhone) appear in iTunes on my Windows portable, I tried resyncing the iPad there (as its new home). Restrictions are off, there is plenty of memory, but the app sync screen and app list are greyed out. Nothing will download to my iPad.
My original Apple account is under my name. However, I had to create a second account at some point in the past due to Apple's requirement that the name be an email address, which is my name (identical) at mac.com. Since both are in my name, it didn't originally occur to me that Apple would consider them as different accounts. This may have a bearing on what is going on, but I don't think so since I have exchanged apps between iPad and iPhone before. To check whether this might be related, I tried to change the account name on the iPad (removing @mac.com). I received a message that if I did so I would have to wait for 90 days to download my apps, which is not satisfactory since my grandchildren and I use the iPad regularly. And I need it for work.
I'm assuming that if I could reactivate the App Store I could redownload my purchased apps. Better yet would be merging both "accounts" into one, if that is the source of the issue. I appreciate your help and suggestions.
Steve

All I had to do was complain. I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store. I have no idea why.

You don't. Backup your itunes library on the old computer and move it to the new computer.

Creative Cloud desktop app won't sync or recognise apps

While running OSX 10.6.8 I installed CC apps. But CC desktop app needed newer OS. So I upgraded to 10.8.4 and installed CC desktop app. It prompts me to update my CS6 software (and I can't make these prompts go away) and tells me I have no apps installed. Also, file sync is non-existant and I have no "Creative Cloud Files" folder. I need to be able to sync because I have another Mac at home that I do work on. What to do?

HI Steve633
Do you happen to have the older Adobe Application Manager still installed? If so, then i would suggest that you uninstall the Adobe Application manager.
I would suggest to perform the steps in Solution 1 & 2 of this help doc.
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html
Then if you have not updated to the new Creative Cloud Application manager version Version 1.1.2.232 released on 9/4/2013 Then you can uninstall the older version from your system and click here to download the udpated software. https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud
Then you should have the option for the Typekit font syncing. You can sign up for the early access to the Typkit fonts here if you have not done this already. http://blogs.adobe.com/creativecloud/file-and-typekit-font-sync-rolling-out/
Let me know if this works for you
Thanks

Creative Cloud desktop app won't sync with CS6 applications

I am running a Windows 7 64bit machine. I had been running CS6 and CC, but had developed a wide range of problems. With the assistance of Adobe technical support I removed all Adobe software from my pc.
My plan was to do a clean install of CS6, apply all of the updates, and then decide if I wanted to continue with the full CC subscription before installing any CC software. The initial install went fine, as did a whole bunch of upgrades. Along the way Adobe upgraded the Adobe Application Manager to the desktop Creative Cloud app.
Within Creative Cloud it showed an update to Photoshop CS6 (something to do with a Creative Cloud version 13.1.2). So I clicked on update and got an error message and the advice to uninstall and reinstall Photoshop CS6. I followed the advice. I then started Photoshop CS6 and selected the Help -> Updates option. It launched the Adobe Application Manager and I was able to install the update. So now I think everything is good with CS6 installed and up to date, and no CC software has been installed aside from the desktop app.
BUT when I run the Creative Cloud desktop app it still show that there is an update for Photoshop CS6! Clicking on the update button generates a message that the update failed due to a download error.
So my problem is how do I get the CC app in sync with my actual CS6 applications?
My second question is do I need to uninstall AAM to preclude this happening in the future (and if so, how)?

Then it would appear the updates have been applied successfully. You may want to try implementing solution 2 of CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html.

Creative Cloud Desktop App Update 1.9.1.474 sets sync folder back to default (windows)

Hi All,
Second time this has happened with an update to Creative Cloud Desktop App (Windows).
Update completes correctly but then notice that file sync is going mad and is re-syncing everything but to the default location (usually user\username\ - in Win 8.1).
Last time this occurred I seemed to get some loss of files.
I've now let it re-sync everything to the default location and then resetting it to the previous location (where files are still present - but is on a different drive).
Surprised to hear Support (Swati) hasn't heard this occur before but thought it worth putting it out there to both warn others and see if its just me!
This was for definite with update 1.9.1.474 of Creative Cloud Desktop (And think it was with the previous mandatory release).
Cheers,
M

Hi Mark,
as you correctly point out with the recent update of the Creative Cloud Desktop app (1.9.1.474) we unfortunately introduced a bug which causes the creation of a new Creative Cloud Files folder, and re-sync of all content. This will only occur the first time the sync application runs after the update. This has caused understandable pain and confusion, for which we truly apologise.
The Creative Cloud Files app contains logic that supports the use of multiple Adobe IDs. This allows you to sign out of one ID and in to another, but keeps your Creative Cloud content separate. When you sign out and change IDs, the app moves the previous Creative Cloud Files folder and it's contents and appends it with the previously signed in ID (User@AdobeID). It then creates a new main folder and starts to sync content of the new ID.
The bug which I mentioned previously occurs, as the app believes an ID switch has taken place and as such, moves the current Creative Cloud Files folder and tries to append the previously signed in ID. As no switch has actually taken place it manifests as (Unknown). The app then creates a new main folder at syncs down the data.
Essentially what you end up with is a Creative Cloud Files folder with your newly sync'd data and a Creative Cloud Files (Unknown) folder that contains duplicate data.
This occurs once, after the last update completes.
The fix is to simply delete the Creative Cloud Files (Unknown) folder.
I would advise that you ensure you have no pending edits that you may have made offline and that you check the contents of the new, main Creative Cloud Files folder contains everything you expect it to. If not, check the contents of the Creative Cloud Files (Unknown) folder.
If there is still a discrepancy with your data, you can check on creative.adobe.com to confirm your data is there.
If you have any further problems or questions about this particular issue please email [email protected]
