Folder Sync

Hi,
Is there a way to get iTunes to check folders for new music and automatically add that music to its library (without copying, moving or reorganizing the files)?
Example - I have a folder that I download new music to. I want iTunes to see this music and add it to its library.
Interestingly, PC iTunes users have a utility for this:

I have Hazel set to move whatever it has copied to iTunes to another folder (my desktop is my default download location). Periodically, I do a quick review of that folder then delete the contents. The way I've got it set up, Hazel never runs into things that are already in iTunes.
As for Applescript, I've always meant to learn it.... I think Automator. is supposed to be a somewhat easier way of doing it.

  • Folder Sync and System Back Up, please help !!!

    Right, there are the two things I can do with my Windows XP machines and can't find a valid solution on Mac OS X yet:
    1. Folder Sync
    I use 5 computers everyday, 2xMacs+1PCs at home, 1xMac at school and 1xPC in my office (part-time sys admin). It is obvious that i will need the folder sync feature so that I can keep working on one project on different computers. For windows there's a very neat feature called Briefcase, it bascially allows me to create two folders in different locations ( one in PC1, one memory stick for example ) and will automatically make sure these two folders sync with each other once connected . Just wondering if there's any software that allow me to do this on a Mac? and if it allow multiple sync (i.e. keep folders stored in 3+ locations up to date with each other, via network or portable storage device) that'll be even better.
    2. Backup.
    Since WInNT microsoft provides a Backup facility that allows me to perform regular backups of the entire system. except for the first backup which will copy my entire partition / harddrive content, the later ones will only add changed/newly created files to the existing backups (to save space and speed up the process). Carbon Disk Copy etc are merely GHOST-like utilities in Windows terms and does not have any advance features nor do they provide supports to exterenal hard drives (USB2, say). So, is there a good back up utility that I can use for my Mac OS X. ( i don't want to burn my 100G hard drive on 50 dvds every week )
    thanks.

    1. You want rsync - will sync as many sources as you want.
    2. Rsync again will do this.

  • I'm getting the error message "Photos folder syncing has been disabled for the iPhone my iPhone because the folder "Pictures" cannot be found."

    I'm getting the error message "Photos folder syncing has been disabled for the iPhone <my iPhone> because the folder "Pictures" cannot be found." lately.
    Normally, all I do with photos is move them from my iPhone to my computer's (Windows 7) hard drive. I do this by connecting the iPhone with the cable, a box pops up on the screen asking me what I want to do, and I choose "Import pictures and videos". I've previously selected the "delete photos from the device after move" option (or however it's worded...), simply because I don't want this device to fill up with photos.
    Lately, it has been importing the photos fine, but it won't delete them from the iPhone. This used to work just fine, now it doesn't work and I don't know what changed, if anything. In iTunes, I get the error message I list at the beginning of this message.
    How do I fix this?

    Hi there scarbo59,
    You mentioned that you are still able to import without issues, but you may still want to run through the troubleshooting steps outlined in the article below.

  • LR applying outdated metadata preset on folder sync.

    Lightroom changes my copyright year and contact info to old information when synchronizing a folder.
    Behavior:
    A folder of processed & ready-to-deliver RAW files.  These files all have 2014 copyright and contact info.  Export these images to JPG in another folder.  (Export includes all metadata.)  Open these JPGs in PhotoMechanic to verify that the 2014 copyright and contact info is still embedded in the files.  Go back to LR, right click the folder that contains the JPGs, "Synchronize Folder..." wait for process to complete.  Look at metadata panel in LR or the added JPG files - all copyright and contact info has reverted back to an outdated 2013 preset.
    Is there some place in LR where it's told to automatically apply a metadata preset?  I'm not going through the import panel - just a simple folder sync.

    There's the key piece of info.  So LR remembers different import presets based on file type?
    Running two experiments.
    First, I'm importing a folder of JPGs that I know already have 2014 copyright via the Import GUI (not synchronizing folder.)  The import interface opened, and the "Apply During Import - Metadata" drop-down was set to my 2014 copyright.  If LR remembers import defaults based on file type, then I would have expected to see it set to my 2013 metadata preset.
    Just for science, I'm importing a folder of DNG files that are also already set to a 2104 copyright.  For these files as well, LR defaults to my 2014 copyright.
    Am I not running the test the way you intended?  Any other ideas on why doing a folder sync would apply an old metadata preset?

    There are various solutions for both items. Smart Folders coupled with an Automator action or a Folder Action can be used to mirror folder contents. You can also sync contents using various backup or sync software such as Deja Vu, Synchronize! Pro X, Super Duper, Retrospect, or one of dozens of other similar utilities. They can be found at www.versiontracker.com or www.macupdate.com. These utilities can be used both for individual folder syncing as well as complete backup solutions. Some will work only on connected drives and others will also work across network drives.
    If you can't find a satisfactory solution for OS X you just haven't looked hard enough because there are literally dozens of alternative solutions available including Unix commands that run from the command line such as rsync, psync, and ditto. Use the Terminal (Utilities folder) and explore the man pages for these commands to learn their usage. There are also freeware GUI wrappers for rsync and psync - RSyncX and PSyncX.
    Also check out http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/faqs.html for the FAQ on backup and restore. Other useful articles are: http://www.egg-tech.com/mac_backup/ and http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106941.

  • Best folder sync software

    I have an iSCSI device attached to my Mac (two actually).  On drive one I have several hundred gigabytes of data.  I would like it on both iSCSI devices so I downloaded Sync Folder Pro.  What I expected was that after the first pass, all other passes would be the difference, but this is not the case.  It appears Sync Folder Pro is doing a full sync each pass.  Well, this takes forever to sync that much data...
    So, on to my question...who makes the best sync folder/file program for Mac?

    Synkron is the best file/folder sync software for Mac. By a country mile.

  • 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.

  • Ipad folder sync

    Is there yet a decent non-cloud based folder sync tool from Mac/PC to the ipad? We have 4 ipads in the family, and it's very laborious to open each app (word, excel, etc), then drag and drop each file that we want to the add or update. PDAs from 10 years ago had the capability to sync folders, yet I havent found a simple way to do this on an ipad. Based on recent events, iCloud is out. We don't want to risk compromising our data with web-based storage. At this point, as much as we like the ipads, my wife just ordered a windows-based tablet. I'm still stubbornly sticking with my ipad, for now.
    NOTE: Please don't flame me if you're an apple fanatic. We have 2 macs, 4 ipads, and 3 iphones, so I'm very familiar with the apple line. I hate seeing answers on these forums where someone decides the person who asked the question is an idiot because they don't want to pay $200 for an app that should be free, or because they want to do something that's easily done on a different platform but not on Mac/Apple.

  • Voice memos folder syncing issues

    (I'm on Windows 7 64-bit, iTunes 11, iPhone 4S)
    I deleted all the voice memos from my iTunes library by mistake but did not delete the files from my computer. Now, trying to restore them to the library this is what happened:
    - I dragged and dropped the files from the iTunes>iTunes Media>Voice Memos folder into iTunes library. iTunes started treating them as music files (i.e removed them from the Voice Memos folder and put them in an Unknown Album folder under Music>Unknown Artist and forgot any associated tag info)
    - I synced my iPhone, but it no longer synced those voice memos
    I renamed the Unknown Album to Voice Memos, moved it back to iTunes Media folder (from under Music folder) and tried syncing but did not make a difference.
    Any suggestions?

    The follow is backed up in iCloud:
    Purchased music, TV shows, apps, and books

  • How do I make my iPhone 'sent' mail folder sync exactly with my iMac 'sent' folder?

    I've got an email set up through IMAP on my iPhone and on my mac and I've been using it for years but I've realized all of my folders sync exactly with the exception of my "sent" mailbox. For some reason, when I send something on my comp, it doesn't show in the sent folder on my phone? Does anyone have a clue as to what this could be and how I get them to sync like the rest?

    Because everything is on the same home network, all are wireless except the mini, I'd rather not do a cloud base setup. It doesn't make sence to upload then download if all are on the same network. Maybe I'm asking how to setup a secure home network.

  • Only SOME Photos in an Event Folder Sync to iPhone

    I keep running into this issue and it's frustrating the heck out of me.
    When I sync my photos to my iphone, I select only a few Events to sync.  It will sync SOME of the photos in an Event over to the iPhone but then it stops as if it's finished when there are more pics to be sync'd in that Event folder.  For instance, one has 350 pics and it imported 51 and quit.  There's over 6 gigs of room on my iPhone so that isn't the issue.
    I am using iPhone 5 with version 8.1
    I am on a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.7.5
    And using iTunes to sync version 11.3.1 (2)
    Super frustrated.

    Close iPhoto and open your iPhoto Library package with the Finder as shown in this screenshot,
    Locate and move the iPod Photo Cache folder to the Desktop.  (Do no make any other changes to the contents of the package!)
    Launch iPhoto and try syncing again.

  • Lion Server - Home Folder Sync Not Working - HELP

    I have a lion server set up on a mac mini.
    I have set up an OD to manage network accounts through the server app.  My workflow for setting up users is:
    1.     using the server app add a new user
    2.     I have a home folders users directory set up under file sharing and set to be available for home directories - so I select this share as the home folder for the user
    3.     I user the WGM app to then set up mobiility through the preferences tab to create always and to sync the home and preferences
    4.     I check that the home folder is set correctly under the user account in WGM
    When I log in to the client machine (regardless of whether or not I have first logged in on the server or not) the client presents an error saying that it can not log in and can not access the server at that time.  The client stays on the user login screen.
    If I then change the users home folder on the server to local I can then log in on the client machine and create the account.  If I elect not to create the home folder on the client machine the rainbow ball of death occurs and the machine hangs.  So I instead log in and select to create the local home folder.
    I then log out of the user and change the user setting on the server to point the home folder to the correct share instead of on the local setting.
    I then log back on to the client machine and can log in without any problems.  HOwever, I get an error message if I try to sync saying that the home folder is not accessible.  This is despite the fact that the home folder, and the server et al, can be mounted in finder and I can copy and paste documents etc to and from the server.  I have full and expected access to the server and the associated storage.
    For some reason home sync continues to say that the home folder can not be found (in fact that the server can not be found) whenever I try to sync.
    This is driving me bananas.  I have tried so many permutations that I have lost count of the things that I have tried.
    Is this a permission issue?
    I have the OD bound to the client machine and have no problems seeing the users and being able to access the OD from the client machine.
    Does any one have any thoughts at the issues I should be looking at or which logs may be helpful in trying to understand what is going on?

    Jonathon.
    The dscl command just leads to a "Data source (LAPDv3.server.tnichapman.private) is not valid" statement.
    I logged on using my local client admin account.
    I had a search through console.

  • Still seeing "new" photos AFTER folder syncing

    I just right-clicked on my main folder (top level) so I could then select "Synchronize Folder." It shows that there are 124 new photos to import. I assume this is because I just combined some folders in an attempt to "neaten things up." So I click on "Synchronize" and then I click on import. What's odd is that I can repeat this procedure, and I'm still seeing 124 photos that supposedly need to be synchronized. Why would that be? Shouldn't it show "0" photos after going through this procedure? Thanks in advance.

    I think I know what happened. "Don't import suspected duplicates" was checked by default. So it refused to import the 119 suspected duplicate photos. I then unchecked this and ran the Sync folders and import again. The import seemed to run successfully because doing it a third time showed "0" photos to import. Does this sound right to you? Thanks.

  • Outlook to GMail Folder Sync

    I use Outlook 2013 and save e-mails to a storage folder I keep for each of my clients.  I set up corresponding storage folders in GMail, but now I need to keep the GMail folders up to date with the Outlook folders, so when I save an e-mail to a folder in Outlook, it shows up in the correspoding GMail folder.  is that possible?
    Thank you.

    Not unless you are using Google Apps for Work - in which case if you install the Google Apps Sync for Outlook connector, the answer is yes.

  • Applescript Folder Sync

    Hi all, I have two 1 tb My Book Studios acting as a sort of RAID storing my music and movies. It's not a RAID since I thought I could not move the two drives to a mac mini I plan on buying as an HTPC. My question is, is there an Applescript or Automator command I can use to automatically copy items to drive 2 when I add the item to drive 1? I'm new to Mac and have no experience with Applescript. Thanks.

    Excuse me, but if you have a lot of Mac-only syncing to do I recommend the Satimage scripting library (OSAX). The Osax includes a command called "backup", which is fast, efficient and easy to implement. You can see the dictionary entry •here.:
    backup v : synchronizes 2 folders. backup will resolve the alias located at the first level in the source or destination folders, and no other alias.
    backup file specification : the source folder
    onto file specification : the destination folder
    [level integer] : 0: report only, 1: synchronize folders, 2 : synchronize and report. Default 0.
    [after date] : files older than this date are not considered.
    [recursively boolean] : recursively synchronize subfolders. Default true.
    → string : the (optional) report
    With the OSAX installed, a typical "both-ways" backup script looks like this:
    tell application "Finder"
    backup alias thisFolder onto alias otherFolder level 2
    backup alias otherFolder onto alias thisFolder level 2
    update folder thisFolder necessity yes
    update folder otherFolder necessity yes
    end tell
    end repeat

  • Windows Folder Sync

    When I try to access a network folder on our corporate environment from my MAC, I am often unable to see folders or in some cases files. I can go into Windows Explorer from a PC and the file folder is there.  So for instance, I connect with the following:
    smb://DIR1/SUBDIR1/MYFOLDER
    I see all of the files with the exception of a folder I created this morning from a PC. I checked the settings, the folder has the correct permissions.  Is there some sort of caching or sync that needs to happen for me to see these folders?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi, as I recall, smb on Mac has a limit of how many files it can see & folder depth, as well as being slow to update, but have you tried logging out & back in?
