Desktop settings won't sync

My desktop machine won't allow desktop settings to sync. Sync Settings under the menu are greyed out and Preferences > Sync Settings says that I'm not Signed in to Creative Cloud. Last Upload and Download are not available. Meanwhile under the Help Menu I am Signed in because it offers me the option to Sign Out (correct@email). The Creative Cloud App also says I'm signed. I also activated File Sync without issue, but this hasn't been necessary before.
Is this an issue?
This is the case with all of the apps I've launched (PS, Ill, ID)

Mac Blackberry Desktop Manager Won't sync with New Bold 9650

I have a new Bold 9650 (upgraded from a curve). My curve recognized and would sync with no problems. I used BB Desktop Manager to restore my new bold with all it's contacts and such. When showing up in DM, the options for restore and back up are available. When I click on applications it says I need a newer version of desktop manager. I have downloaded the most recent from the website and it still says this.
More importantly, the SYNC option doesn't even come up while the two are connected. It stays greyed out and won't let me get the option to sync. This worked fine with the curve, but the bold won't sync!!! Help please!!!

I too had the same problem. See below... there's a workaround. Apparently they are working on it.

Desktop Manager won't sync Outlook

Just got a new Bold and now Desktop manager won't configiure to sync with Outlook. It gives me a "Not able to connect to internet" error. Removing firewalls and Norton didn't help.
Has anyone else had this problem, or have any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks

Hi MarcBrittain,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community.
This article should provide more information on this issue. http://bbry.lv/mfgghx
There are some additional steps in it to try to diagnose the issue. If none of the steps in the article resolve the issue, you may want to try disabling your startup items in the System Configuration Utility and rebooting before trying again.
Hope this helps.

Can only sync photos by dropping folder on desktop - iPad won't sync photos

Hi all,
I've been trying for a couple weeks now to sync photos to my iPad.
I'm running SL 10.6.2 and have updated to the latest iTunes. I have one hard drive that runs only my OS and my applications and I have a secondary drive that contains all my data including music, videos, photos, documents etc.
I have been able to repeatedly successfully sync apps, movies, music, and even a pages document to my iPad from the secondary drive through iTunes.
Every single time I have tried to sync photos it just seems to hang at the Sync in Progress screen for hours. I finally have to cancel because it's obvious the sync will not be successful. This happens whether I have one folder selected with just a dozen photos or several folders selected.
I am not using iPhoto. I'm simply choosing the folders with the images I'd like to sync from the Photos tab in iTunes when my iPad is connected.
Today I took one of the folders I was trying to sync containing 12 photos and dropped it on my desktop. The photos synced in seconds and iPad happily said sync complete. Any ideas?
Is this a quirk with SL 10.6.2, iTunes 9.1, or iPad?
It's not necessarily a huge issue that I have to move all the photos I want to sync to my main mac drive... but I just really didn't want to clutter my OS drive with data stuff... I prefer to keep them separate. Seems the only way I can sync photos right now, though, is to move them to the main mac drive... even though everything else syncs just fine from the secondary drive...
Thanks for any help!

It looks like noone has and Idea how to fix this problem ;-(

Desktop mgr won't sync contacts

I just got a BB Bold 9650 from Verizon. I have an iMac running the newest version of Snow Leopard. I downloaded the Desktop manager and it sync'd my calendars and notes but not my contacts. Contacts is grayed out and it has this message:
Contacts are currently configured for wireless synchronization.
To synchronize Contacts with BB Desktop Manager, turn off wireless synchronization by opening Address Book on your device and from the Options menu, selecting your address book and changing the Wireless Synchronization field to NO. Reconnect your device and try synchronizing your data again.
The only options I get are to sort and separate views or allow duplicate names or confirms deletes.
I've clicked on every tab and button I can find and there are no wireless sync options anywhere. The user's manual that came with the phone and the PDF manual are both pretty useless. It is like they were designed for a different phone running a different os because I can't seem to find half of what I am looking for by following their instructions.
This is very frustrating because one of the main reasons I went with the BB is because they advertised that their phone would sync to the mac address book and calendars.

Probably the most infuriating two hours of my life. Im trying to sync my contacts from an iphone to this balcberry. Am I the only person who feels this shouldn't be this ridiculously difficult? They're contacts. Im surprised that I can't just drag and drop my address book. I'm thinking of taking this archaic lump of turd back and getting an android. May not be secure but at least it'll work. COME ON RIM!!! This is the very poor. Very friggin poor. These are contacts! Maybe you deserve to sink if you can't figure out contacts!
The desktop software doesn't even lead you to the right folder? WTF? Get your **bleep** sorted out already. Why doesn't it tell me to go to 'contacts' as there isn't an address book on the phone leading to confusion. Are you all asleep at the wheel? This is not a smartphone. Its a frutration generator!

Desktop Mgr won't sync, install, modify or repair

Maybe a sledgehammer would work.
I have a BB 8800, and have been using BDM 4.2.1.8 (because anything newer wouldn't work so I went back to this version) on a Vista PC until recently. It was set to automatically sync when connected. Then it stopped doing that with no hint of an error message or anything else - I opened up the Sync window and clicked the Sync Now button - nothing. *sigh* Finally decided to uninstall / reinstall, but that's not going any better.
I get an error message half way through the installer / installer:
"Error 2738 Could not access VBScript run time for custom action" (custom?? If you say so . . .)
I have searched these boards and have tried the suggestions. I can't complete the Clean Uninstall instructions the uninstall won't complete, from both the Windows control panel "remove" and with the 7Zip-decompressed Windows Installer Package Blackberry Desktop Software (.msi), as recommended somewhere in this forum.
Help. Please.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
I agreed with the sledgehammer when I saw that it was Vista (Sorry couldn't resist, XP diehard!)
I Googled "Error 2738 Could not access VBScript run time for custom action" it's pretty well referenced.
This was a solution in two different forums. I have also read threads on this error here.
Thanks,

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

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.

InDesign CC 2014 settings won't sync

I downloaded InDesign CC 2014 and was excited about the new sync settings feature that would allow all my InDesign CC settings to automatically move over to the new version. Unfortunately, I failed to first upload (sync) the settings from InDesign CC before launching InDesign CC 2014. As such, CC 2014 didn't detect any settings that needed to be synced during the initial launch. I've tried syncing the settings from my old InDesign CC app but InDesign CC 2014 refuses to sync. How can I force ID CC 2014 to sync? What are the steps?

Hi Bouche,
You can force InDesign CC 2014 to sync the previous version settings from

Keyboard shortcuts won't open & settings won't sync PP CC

Hi All,
I have two issues...
1) The keyboard shortcuts panel won't open so I can't change them.
2) My settings refuse to upload to CC no matter what I do. I've tried deleteing the stored settings from my CC account. I've tried signing out of CC via the helpmenu in PP and then signing back in again. I've tried clening the media cache. Restarting/rebooting/opening new project etc etc.. all steps suggested in other posts but nopthing seems to work.
Any thoughts gratefully received.
Many thanks,
Tony

AE CC2014 Settings won't sync.

After installing CC2014, I launched CC and synched my settings, uploading everything. Then I closed the app and launched CC2014 and told it to download all settings. It comes up with the dialogue, "Settings are already in sync. No synchronization necessary." Nothing has been synched, though. The app is at complete default, and the info panel says the time of the last update and says, "No files transferred." Is there a way to get force it to sync or something? Am I missing something here?
Joey

Are you expecting the settings from the previous version, After Effects CC (12.x), to come across automatically to the current version, After Effects CC 2014 (13.0), through Sync Settings? That's not how it works.
If you are just trying to migrate settings from the previous version to the current version, follow the instructions here:
migrating settings and plug-ins for After Effects CC 2014 (13.0)

My settings won't sync.

I'm up to date on all software on two machines. One is set to upload all settings (prefs, workspaces, shortcuts), and another is set to download all settings.
Both are Macs, running Premiere and After Effects.
When I sync, it does the whole "you must restart the application" thing. Which I do. And then nothing has changed. None of my workspaces from one machine show up on the other. None of my keyboard shortcuts either. Nor my preferences/settings.
Any thoughts?

That is stealing. Your friend does not have the right/licence to give you music.

I created an album on my iPad and I can't figure out how to move it to my desktop. iCloud won't sync with it

I created an album on my iPad and want to move just that album to my PC, when I plug it in, I get several folders none of which have the photos in the album. How do I move it?

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

My iPad calendar won't sync with my desktop calendar - any suggestions?

When I write an appointment on my iPad2 calendar, it won't sync with my desktop? Any suggestions? I am on iCloud so when I write an appointment on my desktop it does go to my iPad.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.
