Howto change swupd sync interval?

I 'd like to change how often and when swupd_syncd starts to sync Apples Software Updates.
I did the following for testing:
root# launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.swupdate.sync.plist
root# defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.swupdate.sync StartInterval 120
root# launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.swupdate.sync.plist
What I get:
swupd_syncd starts immediately and thats it.
*Why doesn't it start every two minutes as told?*
Hope somebody knows...
Bernd

Now I know...
StartInterval value *must be Integer* not String:
root# defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.swupdate.sync StartInterval -int 120
That works as it should.
(Must not forget to change 120 to a more sensible value ;-))
Sorry for that.
Bernd

  • What is the default sync interval for firefox 29?

    Only like to know the sync interval for firefox 29 in android.
    Thanks.

    hello danielgomes, sync doesn't always happen on fixed intervals, but it depends in part on user actions and certain situations: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Features/Instant_Sync
    ''edit: it appears that the normal interval with multiple devices connected to an account is 5 minutes & with only one device that changes to daily: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-release/source/mobile/android/base/sync/syncadapter/SyncAdapter.java#62''

  • HT204053 i changed my email address (apple id) on my pc, but now my ipad is asking me for my password with the old email address...and not accepting the old or new password.how do i change it/sync it?

    I changed my email address (apple id) and password on my pc, but now my ipad mini icloud is asking me for my  icloud password with the old email address and not accepting the old one or the new one..how do i change it / sync it?

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • I keep all of my music on my iPod Classic. I inadvertently changed the sync setting on my iPhone 5 to sync the music with my phone. I am overcapacity and want to remove the music from my phone. How do I do that?

    I keep all of my music on my iPod Classic. In error, I changed the sync setting on my iPhone 5 to sync the music with my phone. I am overcapacity on my phone and don't want any music on my phone so I want to remove the music from my phone without disturbing my iTune music files on my PC and iPod. How do I do that?

    On your phone: Settings>General>Usage>Music...tap the Edit button...then the red minus sign. This will delete all music on your phone.

  • I want to change the sync on my laptop from my old iPhone 3GS to my new iPhone 4s,how do I do this?

    I want to change the sync on iTunes on my laptop from my old iPhone 3GS to my new iPhone 4s,how do I do this?

    maybe be more specific...
    you can sync multiple devices to the same itunes account on the same laptop.  Simply plug in the new iphone 4s and check off all the settings you want to sync (apps, music, playlists, books, videos, etc).
    If you want your iphone 4s to look exactly like your 3gs...
    1. do an icloud backup of your 3gs
    2. restore your iphone 4s to factory settings
    3. when setting up the phone, choose "restore from icloud backup"
    4. choose the most recent icloud backup (should display the date and time of the 3gs backup you just performed
    5. phone will load everything just as it is on the 3gs... onto the iphone 4s

    You're out of space.   Do you sync music to your phone?   If so, try syncing it over in 128kb which will save a lot of room.   Option is right in front of you in iTunes when you plug phone in.

  • I accidentally erased my Sync server info by changing my Sync Key, can I request to restore a server's back-up of my bookmarks?

    Hi WHY IS THIS HAPPENING!
    I have a couple of articles here that should be able to help you work with this issue. The first article I want to send your way explains some information about using your iPod touch with multiple computers and multiple libraries. That article can be found here:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1202
    Next, in order to get your iPod touch working, you will need to restore from the backup. This article should help you restore from the backup you have made:
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    And if you have trouble restoring from the backup, you should see the steps in this article:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    Lastly, you can find information on how to move your iTunes library from your old computer to a new computer right here:

  • Change iPhone sync - iTunes for Mac to Windows

    Hi,
    I changed my computer, I had a Mac, and now i have a windows.
    How can I change the sync of my iPhone between the computers in the best way?
    Thank's!

    Yes, however, I was able to finally sync my phone, I don't know how it worked or what I did differently, I just restarted iTunes and it appeared, but my original problem (the phone speaker) still exists. When I turn on speakerphone, or when I use the headphone mic, I can hear the dial tone/conversations like normal, but I cannot use the phone otherwise.

  • PHD Sync interval of Automatic

    Hi,
    Today I was playing around with setting up PHDs. I am running a MacMini Server with 10.6.3 and the clients are also MacOS 10.6.3.
    In WGM the most frequent background sync interval is 5 minutes but I noticed if I access the sync options on the client machines, there is an option called "Automatic" that is not available in WGM.
    I couldn't find any documentation on this. Does anyone know if it does indeed work as the name implies? That is, automatically sync after a file is modified.
    Thanks,
    Andy

    Hello,
    BIS is no longer in play, so it's capabilities are now moot. As you recall, for non-PUSH email systems, BIS would poll the server every 15 minutes, and shorten that interval whenever there was something found on the server, slowly lengthening the interval back out to 15 minutes for as long as nothing was found on the server.
    With the BB10, it's all ActiveSync directly between the device and the email service provider. If the service provider supports PUSH, you can configure the BB to use it, and it indeed works. If the service provider does not support PUSH, then you are limited to 15 minutes as the shortest interval available.
    Typically, it's a matter of properly configuring no the device. For PUSH-capable email services, it often means bypassing the wizard configuration on the device and instead using the Advanced settings.
    Lastly...as to your actual question..."why"...well, the only answer is because that's they way the programmed it. As to why they chose to program it that way, an answer would require access to proprietary "internal" decision making information...not very likely.
    Good luck!

    The track number issue is covered here:

    Sounds like the  bbthumbs.dat files that get created are causing problems.  You can delete them all and it will work.
    Doesn't look like a way to fix this permanetly however (they'll come back next time you sync)

  • Nokia Messaging New Release Sync interval again ve...

    I´m very glad to see the actual release of Nokia Messaging, but as soon as I´ve installed in my E71 device I were very sad to see that nothing changed on sync intervals. I didn´t understand why nokia messaging has intervals like "2 Month", I´m not quite sure who sync his emails every 2 months´?????
    1 hour is too long, and push email needs to much energy, additional for some account push didn´t work. Hoepfully the developer could change the intervals at least to 15 minute too!!!
    It would be very easy to change for development and a big help I think for many users!!!
    Message Edited by roni1979 on 14-Apr-2009 07:12 PM

    If you're experiencing bad battery life, it's much more likely that it's because you're using your device more often in turning it on to check and send emails that you're getting via push delivery.
    The amount of power that it takes to maintain the push connection is much, much lower than the amount of energy it takes to power the screen and run operations while you're using the device. And yes, we've done tests that determined it was more efficient to have "soonest" be the delivery option than to have it be every 15 minutes, thus, those are the options.
    I'm not denying that it has an effect on the battery life, but it's a causal relationship.

    Gurus,
    Is there a way to change the safety interval for SAP Standard Data source 0FG_DO01(safety Inteval).
    I am only able to display it in RSA2 and not change.
    Appreciate your immediate assistance.
    Thanks,

    You can view it in RSA2. However you may need to  update table ROOSOURCE to change the value of safety interval upper and lower limits.
