Home Sync errors with Chrome files

Recently a bunch of users in our office have been getting constant Home Sync errors, most commonly with Google Chrome files. File Sync opens and lists a number of errors syncing files including:
Favicons
History
History Index 2012-02
History index 2012-03
Network Action Predictor
Shortcuts
Web Data
among others. Any idea what's going on? Are the files locked by Chrome or something so Home Sync generates errors? Did something change in Lion or Chrome in the last few weeks because this never happened previously?
Lion 10.7.3
Chrome 17.0.963.65

I ended up having to enforce this from our Open Directory server. You could uncheck "Library" from your homesynced folders on a per machine basis but that will have other consequences because things you would like to have backed up/synced won't be.
From our mac server: Workgroup Manager->(Computer group name you want to manage)->Preferences->Mobility->Preference Sync->At logout+manually
So I don't have it sync on login or in the background, only when they are logging out, hopefully warnings won't show up or it will be less intrusive.
Homesync still has a lot of rough edges, I wish there was a cleaner option

  • Home Sync Error

    Hey Guys,
    My users are receiving the samw error "Home Sync Error" with their PHD set up. It not all of them, but I haven't found a pattern that is causing it though? No relation in workstations etc.
    There are various errors like "Unknown Error:[1]rename('/Volumes/...." and also one for deleting a file. Most of them seem like temp files but the .GlobalPreferences is also in there?
    Has anyone else had any experiance with this issue, or can shed any light? Any help would be greatly appreceated.
    Regards,
    r00tb00t

    Well I posted here not giving to much info so I should probably give some more. This is a post I posted else where I have copied!
    Here are some more details:
    It would seem that when a user logs on their Portable Home Directory is mounted under the /Volumes directory (in my case /Volumes/groupname/username/). We all know this already. We also know that with stuff like this and mobile homes etc clients make preferences (like .GlobalPreferences) on a per-computer basis, if you look in myhomefolder/Library/Preferences/ByHost we can see many .GlobalPreferences files each ending with the MAC Address of a machine we have logged onto. So for my students there are many entries for the different machines they work at.
    It would seem (as far as I can tell) that when a student logs on we create a temporary .GlobalPrefernces file in our mounted home directory at /Volumes/teachers/james/Library/Preferences/ByHost/.fstemp.PHD-R-R9FKAzSqm_-james52hfaStqfe4.noindex
    (Note here that during the time I or anyone else if logged on, this file doesn't actually seem to exist its not in the folder?)
    And when we logoff we rename the temporary file to replace the actual .GlobalPreferences file located on the server, which for my example user was /Volumes/teachers/james/Library/Preferences/ByHost/.GlobalPrefernces.0011223344 5566.plist
    So, when my students logoff they get:
    "Unknown error:[1] rename('/Volumes/teachers..../.fstemp.PHDR_R9FKAzSqm-james52hfaStqfe4.noindex', '/Volumes/teachers...Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist')".
    So my question is, why would that be? Am I on the right lines? Does any one have any idea why this is happening?
    All input is greatly appreciated. Thanks for the help so far.

  • Sync error with open Office 2011 files

    Have recently installed Microsoft's Office:Mac 2011 Home and Business. Have a setup with MA and PHD syncing. Whenever an office file is open FileSync reports a syncing error of that file, which after a while is annoying. Didn't get this with Office 2004. Does anyone have a remedy for this?
    Thanks
    Tomas

    I've not noticed this issue, and I have moved several movies over, and they fall into the 500-600MB range. Have you tried any of the troubleshooting steps? Try to power the phone off/on, then try a reset. That is accomplished by holding down the home button and the sleep/wake button together until you see the Apple logo, then releasing. Ignore the screen with the slide to power off option. If that doesn't seem to do it, it could be one of the files is having a problem. You say that eliminating all of them lets the sync work. Do you have USB 2.0 ports? Try to add just one file at a time to the sync and then see when the sync finally fails. It could be something corrupt in one of the files, and you might be able to elimiate the one by this method. If possible, then redo that particular file, be it a music file from CD or video, and then try again. See if any of this helps.

  • PHD and Home Sync Error

    I am running Snow Leopard server 10.6.4 and all clients are running Snow Leopard 10.6.4.
    When a user with a PHD network account opens a datafile such as Word or Excel, a home sync errors ocurrs. As soon as the file is closed the error disappears but it is very frustrating to have these messages pop up whenever a file is in use by the user. I don't recall this being a problem under Leopard.
    Is there a setting which can disable these pop ups when the user is user the file?

  • Sync error with mp4 on ipad

    How to resolve a sync error with ipad on mp4 file?

    Is it a file that you converted? If it is, try converting it again. Or at least be a bit more specific in what you are talking about.

  • Home Sync Error: File Changed 3 Times

    I have background sync turned on, and get this error each time:
    "The file changed during each of the last 3 syncs. An application may be periodically changing the file. Try closing the file or quitting applications."
    How can I prevent this error (very annoying)? There's nothing wrong with the file being changed, as I am developing on it.
    Thanks!
    ~Mike

    I was having this same problem with the "Unknown error" message with many files.
    I spent a lot of time trying to figure it out, and I came upon a solution in my own case.
    Turns out that there were differences between the extended security attributes on the directories containing the files in question between my local machine and the server. What's worse, my server disk has ACL (access control lists) turned off, so when my client tried to update the attributes on the server, it failed. So the whole sync failed.
    I fixed this using the "ACL Fix" application, which simply clears the ACL's from files in whatever directory you specify. I applied it to my local home directory, removing all extended security attributes for all my files.
    Then, next time I re-synced, everything was fine, no more "unknown errors".
    I hope that helps someone, because this is a pernicious problem!

  • Sync error with heavy music/video files

    Hi. Ever since i've updated to 1.1.4 i have started getting this sync error whenever i try to upload heavy files (over 150mb) on my iphone:
    "The Iphone,"M'sIphone" cannot be synced. The disc could not be read from or written to."
    What could be the problem? This only happens when there are heavy files. If i remove those videos or music then the sync goes thru just fine.
    Also, didnt have this problem earlier. Only started after i updated to 1.1.4.

    I've not noticed this issue, and I have moved several movies over, and they fall into the 500-600MB range. Have you tried any of the troubleshooting steps?

  • Outlook Sync Error with Recurring Meetings on SharePoint Calendar

    We have a SharePoint (Foundation 2010) calendar that users also connect to Outlook (2010/2013). We are experiencing a problem with emailing recurring meeting requests to the SharePoint calendar; the item is received and populated properly on the SP calendar
    but Outlook fails to sync the item.
    The Outlook client then displays a send/receive error: [ Task 'SharePoint' reported error (0x80004005) : 'Failed to copy one or more items. For details, see the log file.'
    ] The error in the log file reads: "Error mapping item #140"
    This issue only occurs when recurring meeting requests are emailed to the SP calendar list. Recurring meetings sync properly with Outlook when the meeting is created directly on the SP site and when created directly on the calendar view within Outlook.
    I will appreciate any insight to this matter.
    Thanks,
    Josh

    Hi,
    This issue may occur if Outlook cannot connect to the Sharepoint List so that
    Outlook changes cannot sync to the Sharepoint. Please try the following steps and check if it helps:
    1. This error message could be caused that the PC with the Outlook installation couldn´t access the CRL from the HTTPS certificated used on the SharePoint server. To check that open the sharepoint Web site, and check the SSL certificate. There is an entry
    for the CRL. Now check from the affected PC if the CRL could be accessed.
    2. Check AAM configuration and we can try to browse the URL
    http://intranet ; then we can recreate the connection to Sharepoint in Outlook, try to sync it and then check the result
    See this thread with similar problem:

    Since this question is also related to SharePoint, you can also post in SharePoint forum to check if we can get good ideas there:

  • Sync error with Workspace "Data in this list references content type "", which is no longer in the list schema"

    Dear,
    I saved a document library containing folders and files as a template to use it as a template when I created a document library.  It contains a lot of folders and files.
    When I tried the document library to sync with workspace it gives an error "Data in this list references content type "", which is no longer in the list schema"
    I checked with this error and I found out that it has issue with onenote file, but my library does not contain any onenote file. 
    I wonder if there is any issue regarding the number of folders to sync at a time because when I tried to sync with document library similar to the big library but lesser folders and files. 
    Thanks

    This is caused by certain OneNote files.  I've filed a support ticket on this.  See my
    post on possible workarounds.  You might view the entire library in windows explorer or flatten the folder structure in a view to confirm that there are not any OneNote related files.

  • Trapping sync errors with eVB sync code??

    Hi,
    Is there any way to 'trap' errors that occur when syncing from within an app that is using the sample eVB sync code?
    I'm talking about displaying the same type of error messages msync shows when an error occurs.
    Thanks.

    Hi there,
    The best answer I've come up with so far is to look at what gets written in the file \syncerr.txt on the device, then delete it, so that after the next sync you know that all the errors in the file relate to that sync.
    I haven't implemented this in practice yet, it's just my best guess and I'm putting off doing it until later in my project.
    Does anyone from Oracle have a better answer?
    At the moment, I'm trapping the fact that the sync didn't work using this code:
    On Error Resume Next
    Dim mySync As MSync.sync
    ' Omitted stuff to set up sync parameters etc
    mySync.Sync
    If (Err.Number <> 0) Then
    MsgBox "Sync failed!"
    Else
    MsgBox "Sync completed!"
    End If
    But this doesn't tell me why, hence the theory of looking in \syncerr.txt

  • File extension error with Excel files transferred to PC

    I am syncing files with my PC (Documents to Go).  I noticed that Excel files that were accessible and functioning prior to the first week in September no longer work (interesting coincidence with the update to Gingerbread).  I get a "'file.xls', is in a different format than specified by the file extension" message when I try to open any files modified by the Droid after that date.  The same error occurs if I use the Sync tool or access the files from my PC using Windows Explorer.   The files work fine if I email them from the Droid to the PC or if they were modified PRIOR to the first week of September.  I also notice that picture files (jpg) after that date can not be opened but work fine via email to my PC.   The file extension names do NOT change and the same error occurs when I upload to another PC.   How can I fix this problem?  I can only back up my files by emailing them........

    (testing update) 
    DataViz responded with a couple of suggestions, here is my response:
    Here are some additional tests I just completed which puts the cause back onto DataViz:
    I created a simple Excel file on my PC and saved it as an ‘.xls’ file. (test.xls)
    I synced it with my Droid and the file could be opened on my PC and the Droid. (I used both the Sync folder file and opening the file via Windows Explorer using the Mass Storage mode)
    I then opened the file on my Droid and saved it (no changes to the xls file were made) and then synced with my PC.  The error now occurred by both attempting to open the file in the PC ‘Docs to Go’ folder and via Windows Explorer. 
    I then emailed the same file.  I opened the email on my PC and saved the test.xls file.  It opened without errors.
    I did the test again using the latest Excel format ‘.xlsx’ with the same failure.
    I am running version 3.003 (961) Documents to Go
    Bottom line; when Excel files are ‘saved’ on my Droid in Documents to Go, they can no longer be opened on my PC by either Sync or Windows Explorer.  The same file works fine if mailed from Documents to Go.  Documents to Go is corrupting the file in some way that prevents the transfer of that file to another device.
    This still may be associated with the Droid OS upgrade, I am waiting for a response from DataViz...............

  • Sync errors with Windows 8 phones.

    Has anyone been having issues with syncing Windows 8 devices? We have about 50 HTC 8X phones and around 10% of them are having sporadic sync errors. We also have some of the Nokia WP8 devices that exhibit the same issues. While the WP8 device is problematic, we can have an Android or iOS device working next to it just fine. The error on the device is 85002012. Would be interested to see if this is consistent among users of GMS2, or is there something wrong with us. I did open an SR with support and I can report back any findings from there.

    In article <[email protected]>, Stevecim wrote:

    We can't rule it out and the Window8 systems have demonstrated
    themselves to be particularly picky about certs. It could well be that
    something else happened to change in the same time you upgraded that is
    confusing the issue (always frustrating when that happens). Check your
    certs to be sure is how we rule them out and the Heartbleed issue has
    brought lots of such tools out. One I've been using that may help you
    is

    Are you actually using the same cert you were running before? Just in
    case the upgrade replaced your cert.

  • InDesign CC | Error with indd file - "Cannot open the file...Adobe InDesign may not support file format"

    I encountered a very strange error with InDesign CC after saving a file created in CS4. I'd attach the file but I'm not sure how to do this, if I'm able to. The file is 44kb and doesn't seem like it should be (file I saved had a large book cover). Now since the original CS4 file was overwritten using InDesign CC, the file is corrupt and I'm getting the error message displayed below. The file is not open within another application. Has anyone gotten this before?

    Thanks for your response Peter. Below is the gibber contained in the first four lines. In the first line, where it reads "mimetypeapplication" and then "indesign-idml-package", I would assume that this should've been a valid idml file.

  • Error with a File Sender interface

    Hi gentz,
    we have an error with an interface which we can't explain. We are using a File Sender Adapter with File Transfer Protocol.
    We are receiving the following eror:
    <i><b>Could not process file '0080953854-071201.csv': com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 SAPUIT: The system cannot find the file specified</b></i>
    It seems that we can see that there is a file present, but it also is saying that the file can not be found.
    We already tested the connection with a separate FTP program, and here we have no errors in retrieving the file.
    Has anybody got a clue what we are doing wrong???
    Thanks in advance!
    Peter

    Hi Peter,
    which Tool do you use as FTP-Client (WS_FTP)?
    Make sure taht you refresh the client (F5); WS_FTP does not automatically refresh.
    But I also suggest to copy and paste the filename agin from folder on server into your communication channel.
    Sometimes the filenames are different, but the eyes are to tired
