How does wifi sync work?

Hi. From what I have read, iTunes will automatically sync with iOS5 devices if they are plugged in to electricity (and if you have set up your device to sync over wifi, and if iTunes and the device are on the same wifi network). But when does the auto sync occur? Once a day? Multiple times per day? What triggers the sync to start? Thx

Gooood morning;
It' s realy very simple. If you don' t forget to enable the checkbox for wifi sync in Itunes on your computer.
If you did so and you have the ipad plugged in to electricity, then you can see in the preferences from the ipad that the checkbox for synchronisation is active. Push on it and the synchronisation will start and end later automaticaly. I tried it three times on an evening and no problems.....
It only toke me only 2 weeks to find out how!!! hi hi. The reaseon was I forgot to activate the wifi possibility on my mac.

With Mavericks how does one sync calendars without wifi?

With Mavericks, how does one sync calendars and contacts with iPads/iPods without wifi?

Syncing with a cable via iTunes has been removed in Mavericks: you are expected to use iCloud or possibly another cloud-based service, which obviously requires you to have access to the internet - requiring wi-fi for the iOS devices. If you have a wired internet connection on the Mac it may be possible to set up internet sharing, where the Mac becomes in effect a wifi station to which devices can connect. I assume this facility is still available in Mavericks - you should ask in the Mavericks forum how to set this up.

How does the sync functionality work with large libraries on small devices?

How does the sync functionality work with large libraries?
Say I sync 100gb of photos with the new Photos app and turn on sync on a 16gb iphone. Will it fill the device up to 16gb? Can I tell it to limit to xgb so I leave room for music and apps? How does this work? Will it slow down my phone if its trying to sync 100gb across smaller devices?

"Will the Apple TV now read directly from the Time Capsule?" ATV does not 'read' from the TC. It connects to the Mac and itunes library associated with the Mac. Of course the itunes program can 'point' to a library on the TC. You'll still need to have itunes open and the Mac powered on and not sleeping with the TC mounted to the Desktop to use ATV properly. So bottom line the use of TC just adds one more step to view files on the ATV.

How does the sync process work?

Hello all,
I want to know what will happen if both the local and network homes have been modified for a period of two weeks and then the user chooses to synch? Will the sync process ask which 'home' is the most recent or will it replace older files with newer files?
How does the sync process manage the task of keeping both sides the same?
Thanks,
-Andrew G

If a file exists on both the local and the network directory it will pop up with a conflict and ask how to resolve it.
If the file is only on the local machine and in a place you have not excluded from syncing it just syncs.
If the file has been previously synced but there has been no change to the file since last sync I think it just rewrites the file to the server homedir... (Don't quote me on this one... it might not even bother with it, I'm not sure how smart the sync service is)
You can set automatic conflict resolution within WGM but as far as I know you have to do it by clicking on preferences then switching to the details tab, then click on Home Sync....com.apple.homesync. Click on the Always drop down and click the add new key button then change the new key to either Login or Logout Non-Preference sync conflict resolution and or Background sync conflict resolution and decide if MobileHome or NetworkHome Wins...or copy. In most cases I would think that you would want the MobileHome to Win.. of course there is always potential for someone to make a huge mistake on a file and pray its still fine on the server but... your call.

ITunes WiFi Sync works fine for 4 devices, but not for my iPad2

I'm using the latest version of iTunes (11.0.4) on an iMac with the latest version of Mountain Lion (10.8.4) and multiple iOS devices listed below:
iPad 1 (iOS 5.1.1)
New iPad (iOS 6.1.3)
iPhone 4S (iOS 6.1.3)
iPhone 4S (iOS 6.1.3)
iPad 2 (iOS 6.1.3)
iTunes WiFi Sync works fine for all the devices but the iPad 2. They all show up in the "Devices" area of iTunes (though sometimes I need to power them down and restart them to get them to show up properly) and they all sync automatically when plugged into a power source.
The iPad 2, however, behaves thusly:
- Shows up under "Devices" in iTunes
- Can be synced wirelessly IF initiated from the computer
- Does NOT automatically sync when plugged in to a power source
- CanNOT be synced wirelessly from the iPad itself, as under settings > general > itunes wifi sync, it shows the screen that says "to enable wifi syncing with itunes, connect to ituens on your computer using a cable..." as if I have this feature turned off in iTunes (which I do not). The "Sync Now" button is not displayed (not even a grayed out version).
What I've tried:
- Repeatedly powering down and restarting iTunes, the computer, the iPad, and the router in various orders and combinations
- Repeatedly turning off and on the wifi sync feature via iTunes
- Experimenting with the "Open iTunes when this iPad is connected" option as this actually fixed a similar issue on my iPad 1
- Actually restoring the iPad to factory settings, then restoring from backup in case there was an issue with the iOS install
Nothing has helped
What I'm sure it's not:
- A problem with the usual iTunes settings (check "enable WiFi sync", uncheck "prevent iPads from syncing", etc.). Since all other devices work and I actually can perform a wireless sync when initiated from iTunes, I don't see how the issue could live here at all.
Any ideas? I'm pretty stumped!

Another oddity: When this iPad syncs, it does NOT create a backup as part of the process (whether wired or wireless). All my other devices do, as one would expect...

It does not cover my question about in what order does the sync work?

Does the first signed on computer copy its information to the cloud?
Does the second computer/pad/cell then download the information from the cloud overwriting the information on the second device even if some of the information is different?
What happens to the information on the second device that is not in the cloud?
If you delete a record (eg a bookmark) from the second device how does it then delete it on the first device?
What are the keys to the different types of information?

Hi I have answered you questions inline below:
Does the first signed on computer copy its information to the cloud?
Yes when you first set up the account or when you first add a device to the cloud, if it is not the first time, it will merge with the other data
Does the second computer/pad/cell then download the information from the cloud overwriting the information on the second device even if some of the information is different?
By default it merges. There is no option to change this.
What happens to the information on the second device that is not in the cloud?
It will sync at the next sync interval if that data is selected to sync.
If you delete a record (eg a bookmark) from the second device how does it then delete it on the first device? What are the keys to the different types of information?
It resolved the entry the next time the first and second device syncs. Can you elaborate on the second part of this question?

How does one sync contacts

How does one sync contacts and calender from Outlook to [hone 4s using ver 12

Despite Apple's poor track record in web services, they are definitely pushing everyone to iCloud. It started back in ML with Notes and continues to Mavericks with Contacts and Calendars. I made the fortuitous decision to migrate my Contacts and Calendars to iCloud about a week before installing Mavericks - I'd have been very annoyed to discover this new iCloud requirement after the fact.
I find this solution sub-optimal, but Macworld suggests installing Mavericks Server and activating the Contacts and Calendar syncing services as a work around to keep your data out of iCloud.

How does one sync the new time capsule with the old airport extreme and airport express in order to extend range?

How does one sync the new time capsule with the old airport extreme and airport express in order to extend range?

Thanks for the additional information.
Unfortunately, the AirPort Utility application in the Lion and Mountain Lion operating systems, which is used to configure the new Time Capsule does not support the older versions of the products that you have.
Even if it did, there are no settings on the older AirPorts to "Extend a wireless network", so they are not compatible with the new Time Capsule if you intend to extend the network only using wireless connections.
If you have the ability to connect each AirPort to the Time Capsule using a permanent wired Ethernet cable connection, it might be possible to use a complicated workaround to install an older version of AirPort Utility to configure the older AirPorts to work with the new Time Capsule.
If you have another Mac there that is using the Leopard or Snow Leoapard operating system, things would likely be simpler. I have not done this type of procedure to mix a new Time Capsule with older AirPorts, so I would not be able to say whether this would work or not.

How does one sync music from iTunes on a Mac with an HTC Windows 8 phone

How does one sync music files from iTunes running on a MacBook Pro with an HTC Windows 8 phone?

One doesn't.
Itunes syncs with Apple devices.
You can put the music on your phone. You would have to read the directions for your iphone to learn how to put your music on it.

To add to sig's reply, "calibrating" does not calibrate Lithiu-Ion batteries, it calibrates the charge reporting circuitry. If you look at the effect of deep discharging Lithium-Ion batteries in the data from the independent test group, Battery University, you will see that doing so shortens the life of the battery significantly. It looks like an optimum balance between use and life is at a discharge level of 50%.

Hi all, i can't sync over wifi between my iPhone 4 and Windows 7 64 bit, wifi sync works with the same phone and my Windows 8 machine, tried solutions from other threads with no luck, just thought i'd see if anyone else had any ideas, thanks.

Hi all, i can't sync over wifi between my iPhone 4 and Windows 7 64 bit, wifi sync works with the same phone and my Windows 8 machine so the problem seems confined to Windows 7. I've tried solutions from other threads -
Making sure everything is allowed through firewall
Rebooting phone/laptop/router
Disabling ipv6
Disabling all networks except the one curently on
Re-installing iTunes
Restoring iPhone
No luck with any of those unfortunately so i just thought i'd see if anyone else is still without wifi sync after trying those as well and if you ever found a fix, thanks.

I just wanted to leave a note that it's working now. I'm not sure if it was the latest iTunes update that got it working or that i decided to start a new library instead of using the one i had backed up on Windows 8 (it didn't occur to me to check using the old library when i re-installed iTunes). But if anyone is having this problem, it might be worth trying again with a new installation of iTunes to see if the latest update works for you, and if not, try using a fresh library instead of a backup (by fresh library i mean discard your old library completely and start a new library, not just restore as new iPhone, a whole new library).

To what extent does auto-syncing work...?

I have researched this but can not find the answer anywhere.
I need to know to what extent does auto-syncing work?
I started my library quite some time ago, and I didn't want to use the auto-sync feature. My library has grown very large and to be honest, I still wouldn't mind doing the manual syncing if my behavior and/or needs hadn't changed. However, I am now going back and adding artwork and making some slight modifications to several songs. Overall, through one type of change or another, this will affect the vast majority of my library. What I need to know is if I were to make info-related changes, will the syncing make the modifications on the ipod, or will they be ignored?
For instance, here are some of the types of changes that I am beginning to make:
- Adding Artwork.
- Changing a track name from "Living in a box" to "Livin' in a box"
- Adding info to the various fields such as album author, comments.
- Modifying a track name from "Love is a Battlefield" to "Love Is A Battlefield"
- Changing an album name from "Miami Vice Soundtrack" to "Miami Vice [Soundtrack]" or "Shrek (Soundtrack)" to "Shrek [Soundtrack]"
- Updating an artist's name from "Jackson Five" to "Jackson 5"
Any insights would be most appreciative.
Bill

While in Manual sync, any changes you make in iTunes will not get put onto the iPod until you drag the songs over.
Any changes you make on the iPod thru iTunes will not be on the original in iTunes.
Any rating,
Any reason you are using manual sync instead of Auto sync?
If you don't want (or can't) to put everything in iTunes on the iPod, use selected playlists and manage those playlists.
When you make changes to the songs in iTunes, they will get updated onto the iPod automatically.

How does TimeOut(Sec) works/ behave in FTP Adapter?

Hi ,
How does TimeOut(Sec) works/ behave in FTP Adapter?
Lets Say : If I mention 300 Secs in this . How Should it behave ??
if a file processing in adapter is taking more then 300 sec , will it also be terminated ??? what error response i will get in such case.
Regards
Prabhat Sharma.

Hi,
if there's a network error the channel may hang (for a very long time)
if you specify 300 secs after that time the channel will reset the connection and you can start pooling again

How does SAPscript 'WRITE_FORM' works ?

Hi
I have a Z program working fine, it is a SAPM07DR copy and i aggregated some fields to WASCHEIN form.
But i see when the program (standard or copy) calls the write form, the field values in program have other values (just the previous values) than the values wich appears in the printed form.
For example:
WASCHEIN KOPF Window has the WERKS value:
         Plant:    &*T001W-WERKS&
But when the write form is called
          CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'
            EXPORTING ELEMENT = 'KOPF'
            WINDOW            = 'KOPF'.
In the program the *T001W-WERKS field has a different value that the value wich appears in the spool, debugging i see that the field has the prevoius value in the program:
Program
*T001W-WERKS
(when Write Form).............Spool
    '     '...................................Plant: 0900
    '0900'.............................Plant: 0901
I had to do the same logic in my new aggregated fields, but i realy don't know why does the program works in this way.
Why the print program and sapscript function works in this way ?
How does WRITE-FORM works, that is where the function take from the values to print ?
Thanks
Frank

Hi Max
I hope the program works like you said, but it works:
old_werks = '   '
T001W-WERKS = '0900'.
*T001W-WERKS = T001W-WERKS .
*T001W-WERKS = old_werks.    <-- '   '
CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'
(form KOPF with *T001W-WERKS)
old_werks = '0900'
T001W-WERKS = '0901'.
*T001W-WERKS = T001W-WERKS .
*T001W-WERKS = old_werks.    <-- '0900'
CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'
(form with *T001W-WERKS)
But the FM prints 0900 and after 0901, when the *T001W-WERKS values were '    ' and '0900'   !!!
(and with the *T001W-NAME1 field occurs in the same way)
Why does the FM prints that values ??
Thanks
Frank

How does Merged Dimensions Work in WebI created on SAP BI Queries

Hi,
I need to know how does Merge dimensions work in WebI when using SAP BI Query as source?
Below is my understanding when connection is defined for the universe on oracle database:
1) To get the data in merged dimensions, there must be physical join (Either Direct or vai some other tables) between different tables at backend level (This means there must be join between tables in Oracle database.)
2) we get the UNION of data when dimensions are merged at webI level.
I dont know how this works in SAP BI.
Since there is different data model defined for different BI Queries in SAP , and for each BI Query and there is seperate Universe, So how can you get correct data in WebI when there is no connections in DSO's used in different BI queries?
Can any one suggest me the way data apperas in merged dimensions for WebI created on SAP BI?

I assume we are only talking about merging dimensions in Web Intelligence here and not on the BW backend. this is a client side mere where you have 2 resultsets.
if you want to do this on the BI server side it would be a multi-provider combining different InfoProviders - or a InfoSet - depending on the join type you need. MultiProvider is a union, Infoset allows you to choose
