Every time isync resets causes loss of data

I have two computers. 1 running 10.4.11, 1 runnin 10.5.5
I frequently sync the PB with 10.5.5. However when I sinc my PB running 10.4.11 the message appeared that .mac was reset and I am asked to replace the data on my computer or on .mac
The same will occur tonight, when I go home and will try to sync again the PB running 10.5.5.
In the past these resets have caused me a lot of grief and loss of data, as the two computers have different contacts and bookmarks.
Of course this never occurred when both computers were running 10.4.11
How can I sync both computers without these random "resets"
Regards

If you're syncing between Macs via .Mac/MobileMe, then you are using *MobileMe Sync*, not iSync.

  • Every time I reset Safari, I have to re-sign into the iTunes and App stores. Related or coincidence?

    It seems that every time I reset Safari, I have to reestablish credentials with the App and iTunes Store. Are there cache or web site data files that are common to all three of those applications?
    Currently using Safari 7 with OS 10.9.

    Thanks, Bee. I reset my browsers on quitting as a matter of course, Most other browsers allow this in a preference setting, but I have a macro for Safari which resets it before quitting. I've noted that the problem is not Safari's alone -- any cache cleaner, like NetShred -- seems to have the same effect. I suppose I was questioning the linkage, though. I would have thought that store credentials would be treated differently than browser cookies and cache files. The cleaners I've used so far allow you to add disparate files to the cleaning routine. I haven't yet found one that allows you to say, "Don't touch that one..." I'll keep looking.
    Thanks for the help, Bee.

  • IPod deletes all files every time it resets; stuck in restore-recovery loop

    I have a major problem with my 120GB iPod classic, which was working perfectly until yesterday (it barely even had a scratch on it). I was playing my iPod normally when it suddenly froze. No problems there, this occasionally happens so I simply reset it as I normally do when it freezes (Menu+Centre buttons); but then I noticed something was wrong - the Apple logo reset screen remained for much longer than usual (usually after about 10 seconds it switches on back to normal). I left the iPod on my desk for about a minute, and it eventually switched on back to normal - however I was greeted by the 'Welcome' page to select a language, and all my music etc has been deleted!
    I've tried everything to get this iPod working normally again - when I restore (even when using disk mode); the iTunes tells me it is in recovery mode and needs to be restored, however I've restored several times and the iTunes insists it is still in recovery mode. I've also tried changing the drive letter and formatting via the PC, but to no avail. I have also noticed that every time the iPod is ejected and it says 'OK to disconnect', it resets instead of switching on... and every time it resets, it erases all the data all over again and the 'Welcome' screen returns...
    In short, the problem seems to be that the iPod is interpreting 'reset' and as a complete reboot - it keeps on resetting itself completely.
    What can I do? I'm slowly going insane

    a detail which I may have overlooked is, I have a suspicion that the iPod is not even being restored at all; the iPod simply resets (and deletes all the data while doing so) during a restore; therefore its not even allowing me to do a restore!

  • Operating system causes loss of data during writing to file continuously

    Within a while loop I read data from serial port (9,5KByte/sec, bluetooth dongle via serial port protocol) and writes them to a file (text-file) continuously. The operating system interrupts the while loop periodically which causes a loss of data. If I read data from serial port without saving them no data get lost.
    E.g. on my PC the OS (W2K) wakes up a second hard disk exactly once per hour which freezes the data saving process to the 'saving' hard disk (and therefore also the while loop, data reading) for about 5-6 sec. On a Laptop the OS (XP, one single hard disk) interrupts the data saving process every 10 minutes for about 1 sec. during the first hour and not any longer afterwards.
    I have al
    so tried to use the 'deny read/write' option of the 'Open File.vi' to prevent other file sweeping applications (backup, anti-virus, Fast Find) to open the file simultaneously which could temporarily deny you write access to the file - no success.
    BTW, this concerns also the compiled version of my LV7.1-program.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Tobi

    Use two loops, one for reading the serial data and a separate one for writng to the file. The first loop reads the serial port and writes the data to a queue. The second one reads the queue and writes to the file. Put a delay in each loop, perhaps zero milliseconds in the serial loop and 10 ms in the file loop (try various values). This causes the LV scheduler to share CPU time between the two loops.
    Now the serial loop will acquire the data and store it in the queue which also serves as a buffer. If the file loop gets blocked by the OS, the data just stacks up in the queue.

  • Numbers for iPad crashes every time I try to open the date and time keyboard.

    I had numbers 1.6.2 installed on my iPad 2 with 5.1.1
    I can use every feature without problems, but when I try to open the date time keyboard input method it crashes invariably. I tried to fiddle with language, keyboard, region settings and calendar as noted in other posts b to no avail.
    Any idea?

    Hello, I have the same problem. I have an iPad2 with OS 6.01 and Papers, Numbers and Keynote crash every time I try to open a file. Furthermore, I saved the Getting Started file and when when I tried to open it again  the software crashes. Any idea about what is going on?

  • TS2518 license number has to be reentered every time I open Aperture after having data transfer done by Apple store to a new macbook pro. How do I get the license number saved?

    I have to re-enter my Aperture license number and upgrade number every time I open Aperture after buying a new MacBook Pro and paying for the data transfer to be done at the Apple store. I can understand having to do this the first time but not every time. How can I get the license number saved?

    Aperture 3.4.3 update specifically claims to fix the serial number problem. See the Release notes.
    If you've already done the update and still have the problem, read this forum post about the same topic and a solution.

  • Trying to play movies on Netflix and opening PDF files crash safari every time, what's causing this? I have enough memory.

  • PALM TUNGSTEN E2 FATAL RESET AND LOSS OF DATA

    Hello
    Legendeld helped me with a similar problem on 10th July at 1.02pm.
    I tried to enter new data on my Palm diary for August 19th.  I got fatal reset message.  I didn't note specifically what the fatal reset message said.
    Because I had had a similar problem on 10th July, I pressed reset and then deleted two repeat items which I had for that day (Person X on holiday in USA Aug 12-16 and Person Y on holiday Aug 18-25).  I found that I could then enter the new data for August 19th without any problem.
    But a little while later I discovered that the Palm had deleted nearly all recently entered data in my diary for the foreseeable future.  Not ALL the data - some items remained.  But as far as I can tell, the only data retained are those which were entered some time ago.
    I have been having problems with my Hot Sync so I haven't hot synced my Palm with my laptop for some time, so I haven't got backups on my laptop.
    Is there any way of retrieving the lost diary data?  Which means, in effect, returning to the situation PRIOR TO the Fatal Reset message which I had?  Other Palm functions, e.g. Addresses, appear to be unaffected....
    Thank you for any help you can give.

    First, using a card backup application is the best advice you will ever get.
    NVBackup (you only need binaries.zip) only for some Palm Devices so please read the info carefully @
    http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=92189&package_id=186018
    BackupMan for all Palm devices @
    http://www.bitsnbolts.com/backupman.php
    As to your recent entries not being kept, I can only speculate that this is caused by the fact that the PalmOS 'writes' (saves) the info when you exit the app. If you have a problem with DB corruption or whatever then this may stop the 'write' from happening or at least happening properly.
    eg: If you input text or change prefs etc in any app then do a Soft Reset before exiting the app then none of what you have done will be saved.
    You may have a corrupt DB so as the first step I would suggest you try:
    DBFixit @
    http://www.pimlicosoftware.com/dbfixit.htm
    Install to your Palm as usual.
    Launch DBFixit
    Tick: 'Remove Deleted Rec's'
    Tap: 'Easy Ck.'
    After the scan a note is displayed showing any corrupt Contact, Calendar, Task, Memo etc
    To fix the problem using DBFixit you will have to purchase it and do the above again.
    Then set the Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, Memos etc conduits to Handheld Overwrites Desktop (but not Default) and HotSync
    If you depend on your Contacts, Calendar, Tasks etc a lot, I sugggest you at least consider buying DBFixit as it will make fixing any future DB corruptions as easy as pushing a button.
    This will be handy when you are not near your computer
    PS: I don't work for them, I just thank them
    All the best, woz of oz

  • Every time I reset my password to update my apps, and go back to use the newly created password, it keeps telling me the password is incorrect.

    No matter what I do, I cannot log in to update my apps. I even went to appleid.apple.com to Manage My Account and NOTHING works. I have reset the password a zillion times and it will not work. I called Apple, but they can't even assist me with password help, which is ridiculous! This is so frustrating. I have Signed out of the iPhone store in the General Settings, turned off my phone, reset it, created a new name, and NOTHING will work!
    HELP!!

    Yes, this happens directly on my iPhone. I go to my App Store icon on my phone, try to "Update All" and my username pops up lookng for the password. I type in the password, and it keeps saying it is incorrect. When I follow the prompts to "reset" a password, I create a new, go back, and the NEW password I just created, literally seconds ago, NEVER WORKS! I've gone to the General Settings icon to log out, log back in, then I go to the iTunes store, log out, log in....NOTHING works. It is drving me crazy!! I can purchase apps, just can't update. I have no idea how to fix, since Apple will not assist me. They say I need to purchase the Apple Care Protection, which is so ridiculous that I have to "pay" to get support on a simple task, such as password help! Sigh...

  • Updating N90 to V 5.0607.73 causes loss of date an...

    I have just successfully updated my N90 to 5.0607.73, and now whenever it is turned off it loses the time and date and asks for a new time and date whenever the unit is turned back on!
    It worked perfectly before I updated!!
    Help!
    Cheers Douglas Pearless.

    I updated from 3.0545.5.1 to 5.0607.7.3 and my clock stays on.
    Couple of things to try...
    1. Never switch off :-)
    Just switch to Offline profile at night.
    2. Format the device
    Set the time. Make a fresh backup of your data onto MMC. Format device by switching off > press & hold GRN, 3, * while switching on (until inner display lights up). Restore data.

  • VbCrLf in expressions cause loss of data on export to Excel

    I have a report where it is necessary to embed 3 text boxes in a rectangle, which then lives in a Tablix cell:
    Within the highlighted cell lives an expression.  It was necessary in this case to use commas to separate the values and then manipulate these in Excel to put them on new lines.  VbCrLf, VbLf, VbCr were all tried to no avail.  There can be
    4 of these but only the first 2 would display.  The point of the post is to engage discussion really.  This is the work around in this case.
    What's funny is all other instances of using rectangles to house text boxes works.  And of course, it's not string length because there are other parts of the report that work.
    Was not able to rapidly find this on Google so got with a consultant here where I work.  It has something to do with the ASCII values returned by VbCrLf, VbCr or VbLf that cause truncation to happen in some cases.
    It was hard for me to find so I'm passing the knowledge along.  Having a handy consultant saved a lot of spinning wheels on dead-end google searches.

    Hi SACSgtMike,
    According to your description, you have add VbCrLf in an expression to make four values display on different lines within a textbox. But when exporting the report to Excel, only first two values can display, right?
    As we tested in our environment, the VbCrLf can work fine both in preview results and Excel. We have specified the expression like below:
    =Fields!SalesTerritoryGroup.Value + "," + vbcrlf + Fields!SalesTerritoryCountry.Value + "," + vbcrlf + Fields!SalesTerritoryCountry.Value + "," + vbcrlf + Fields!SalesTerritoryCountry.Value
    The report both in preview mode and Excel work fine. In your scenario, since you mentioned the VbCrLf doesn’t work fine after exporting to Excel, would you please provide some screenshots about results both in preview and Excel for our analysis. Also please
    share some sample data and report design.
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

    Please help, Ive tried resetting my ipod and plugging it in to itunes and nothing is responding. The scrren is white then it turns to blue and all these diffrent patterns. I dont know what else to do???

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • 2nd Gen iTouch Date/Time Randomly reseting?

    Using 2.2 firmware with 32GB iTouch the system date and time get set to some random new date time from past.
    1) So far the random date-time has always been in the past.
    2) Somehow related to iTouch being connected to PC.
    3) Might be related to Sync [but not always].
    4) Might be related to Vista going into sleep mode while iTouch is connected.
    Any fixes or work-arounds?

    I have the exact same problem and I have narrowed it down to the corruption occurring after my PC goes into sleep mode. I get the same failure on my two machines. One is a desktop running Vista and the other is a Thinkpad running Windows XP. I also discovered that I did not have a problem using my laptop to charge my ITouch until I loaded it with ITunes. I deliberately put it into sleep mode before loading ITunes and it worked fine when it came out of sleep mode. I then loaded it with ITunes today to see what would happen and sure enough the clock and time got reset to a random date and time once it came out of sleep mode. I have had this problem with the 2.1 and the 2.2 level of code on the ITouch with my Vista machine and it was only today that I tried my experiment with my laptop machine. I hope that Apple can come up with a fix soon, as this problem is very annoying, since I cannot leave my Itouch connected for any length of time without the clock going bonkers.
