HT1296 auto sync msft outlook calendar using wireless connection

Auto Sync MSFT outlook calendar to Iphone through wireless connection

It is my understanding that if you're using Outlook through a company, they need to have a Blackberry Enterprize Server to allow wireless syncing of calendar/contact items.
I could be wrong though.

Itunes 10 will not stop auto syncing

I have itunes 10 on a mac and a 160 gb ipod classic.
it will not stop auto syncing when I plug in my ipod, even though "do not auto Sync" button is checked as well as checking off "do not open itunes automatically.
It syncs FOREVER. I would love to find a way to stop this from happening. I dread plugging in my ipod to put on new music etc.

I have had this problem with Windows 7 and iTunes updates for some time. Each time it takes hours to solve but with the over the air upgrade to IOS6 on my iPhone and iPad, I was determined to solve and remember what I did, So here it is:

How do I stop auto-sync?

I need to get my Mac to stop auto-syncing my Address Book (so that you don't see those arrows spinning up on my menu bar). Any ideas?
Thanks,
Raymond

Ok, ever since I plugged my new iPad into my MacBook, my MacBook kept popping up messages about merging my Yahoo contacts with Address Book. I resisted these constant pop up messages for over a week and then I finally gave in and said "Fine, do it!" So then I checked Address Book on the MacBook and it's duplicated most of my contacts many times over. Around 10 times each. I figured it was an error so I went and deleted all of the copies. I noticed this arrow thing spinning on my menu bar later on that day (syncing MobileMe) and so I canceled the sync. After that I checked Address Book and all those contacts were copied all over again. Now it's been about two weeks and each of those contacts has 94 copies each(!!!). I don't have MobileMe so when I go into my System Prefs I can't edit it to stop doing this syncing process since it's asking me for my member name and password. So frustrating!
I hope that made some sense to you.
Thanks,
Raymond

How do i stop auto sync on my ipod?

I have it set for manual. I have gone into Itunes preferences and set that to not allow auto sync. I have even tried holding down control and shift when I plug my ipod in and it still starts synching. The only way I can get it to stop is to unplug it. Can someone please help! This is getting really irritating.
Thanks
Jen

Hopefully, after you have disable AutoSync, and have tick this Manually Manage option in the Summary screen
Then check that the Auto fill option is unticked.in the Music tab
Also disable the iTunes Auto Updates.
Good Luck!

How can I stop apps from auto-syncing on one of my computers...?

Hi all
I have an ipad 2 that I sync to my MacBook Pro at home. I also have a few other computers on the same iTunes Store account. One of which is my work iMac 27inch (Lion and iTunes 10.5.2). Every morning when I turn on iTunes it trys to download the apps that I have downloaded from the appstore on my iPad. Some of these are quite big and I certainly dont need them on my work computer. I have turned off auto-syncing of everything on the iMac and iPad but every morning I have to manually go to the Downloads on the sidebar and pause/delete the active downloads. Even if I delete them they reappear the next time I open iTunes. Very annoying...??? Any ideas...???
Richie

Hah.... That was quick...! Seems to have worked too. Very easy. Annoyed with myself that I didnt see that.
Thanks a million

Media Go - Stop Auto Sync

Hi there,
I have an Xperia Z2 and i use Medoa Go for media management. When i plug the phone into my PC via USB in auto-syncs which is fine. However the annoying thing is i'm running a USB storage device (Sandisk Ultrafit) which i have permanently placed in the back of my pc which contains all of my work (i'm self employed).
Media Go also keeps auto-syncing this device every time i start the program as it obviously sees it as removable media. Is there any way to prevent this from happening? If so i can't find it in the Media Go preferences. I thought i may be able to disable this via Windows settings (probably the wrong forum).
I'm not going to abort using the USB device so if i can't sort it Media Go will, er, have to go.
Any help would be appreciated.

The next time you connect your IPOD, check the box that pops up in ITunes 7. It should state whether the update setting is checked as "manual", if so, there s/b a grey checked box right below that says disc enabled. If that's the case, ignore what the IPOD says...Last night I was playing with this for hours and I finally was able to change the update setting to manual once I upgraded to version 7. Despite the "Do not Disconnect" warning, My IPOD had the same number of music files before and after.
You can also, charge your IPOD on a computer that doesn't have Itunes loaded.

(auto-)syncing is stopped when just one file causes an error message

I tried auto-sync an manual sync, but whenever there's a file that can't be tranfered to my ipod classic, the whole process is interupted. that's really annoying because I can't monitor the whole process. is there any chance to skip files that won't be transferred to the ipod?

I am having a similar problem. Dead old drive - trying to sync to the new computer, but don't want to put it on the hard drive, but rather on an external drive. It looks like the files are there, but they don't show up in the library. Any help for that situation? I've been battling this for about 3 months and haven't been able to add anything new to my iPod since then. Help!

Did restore, pc froze, rebooted, auto-synced to another account-needed to "setup as new" - how to get contacts back?!

okay...2 days ago the iPhone 4 vibrated for a good 45 min. did a hard reboot on the phone, stopped vibrating, locked on call screen, can't answer or recieve calls. Talked to a tech support last night. Was told to do a restore, saved all of what we could beforehand and after it was done with restoring to click on "Setup as new" opt. I did so, my pc froze while it was syncing the apps through iTunes so I had to reboot. Without realizing I didn't unplug the phone it auto-Synced into another iTunes account and contacts, etc. I NEED the previous contacts that were saved last night on this phone! How do I back to "set up as new"? or get those contacts back?!

Hi Becki ..
You need to "authorize" the Mac.
Launch iTunes on the Mac then from the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer.
Now, using the same Apple ID as you used to purchased iTunes media originally, you should be able to sync all your content.

Apple TV auto sync inoperative since 2.3 update

I have an Apple TV setup with the following components (most all Apple pieces):
iMac G5 with Enet connection to
Time Capsule (router) with wireless connection to
Apple TV, a laptop PC, and iPod Touch
My software versions are: OS X 10.5.5, iTunes 8.0.2, Apple TV 2.3
I only use my Apple TV as a source for music and photos played on my A/V system. This has worked well for about a year. I had some time ago synced a sizable music collection and photos from my iMac to the ATV and have left it connected for auto sync ever since. When I added music or photos on the iMac, it would do incremental syncs to the ATV so that the new music and photos were then available on the ATV. Sometime, around the time of my installation of ATV 2.3 software, all syncing to the ATV stopped, even though the configuration of ATV still shows it set up for that. In addition, the ATV will not appear in the Device list in iTunes, except when I make a streaming connection. The ATV Main/Settings/Computers dialog shows the name of my iTunes library, with the sync icon (chain links), and an ATV icon. The library name text appears to be grayed. This dialog also shows “Add Shared iTunes Library >”. To troubleshoot the problem, I have used that function to raise the box that shows a passcode. I can go thru that procedure at the iMac and connect my iTunes library for streaming. The ATV dialog then addss my iTunes library name under “Add Shared iTunes Library >”, and is white text (not gray) and all streaming works perfectly. In that mode I can use the ATV to access the newer music and photos that are on the iMac and the ATV appears in the iTunes device list, but only for streaming (Summary & Photo tabs only).
I have not changed anything about this configuration for about a year, except for the download and installation of newer versions of software as they became available. All other aspects of wired and wireless networking are working perfectly. My Time Capsule router continues to share a DSL internet connection between my iMac and a PC. I can also establish a wireless connection with a Powerbook and with an iPod Touch (which I use as a remote for the ATV – but not for the problems and troubleshooting described here). Streaming between the iMac and the ATV works just fine as described above. I can also stream iTunes from the Powerbook to the ATV. I believe the evidence points to a failure to auto sync introduced with the installation of the ATV 2.3 software.
What I have tried:
1) Reset the ATV
2) Restart the iMac
3) Power down all hardware: iMac, Time Capsule, ATV, DSL modem
4) Set up a streaming connection – works fine, as described above, including access to internet radio
I have been very reluctant to disconnect the sync (which sounds like it deletes all the existing data on the ATV) and doing a new sync, since it will take a long time and seems very likely that it will not work and will only leave me with an empty ATV.
It seems that similar problems suspected to be the result of the 2.3 update have been reported on this forum. Any ideas on what to do next would be greatly appreciated.

I resolved this issue by disconnecting the existing sync and going through the whole sync process again. So far this is working as hoped.

Auto sync iPod on one computer, manually manage on other?

I would like to be able to auto-sync my playlists to my iPod on one computer, but manually manage them on another.
I have my iPod set to auto-update with my music library at home, but when I use it on my G5 at work, all my songs are grayed out and I can't play them. I don't have any songs on the work computer itself; I just want to be able to use iTunes to play what's on my iPod.
It seems that the preference to auto vs manual update is for the iPod itself, not for iTunes on each computer.
Is there any way short of changing the preferences each time to do what I want to do? Am I missing something totally obvious?
Cheers!
Katy

It may be that both systems think they "own" your iPod. I don't know if this will help, but give this a try:
First, make sure that your home system is set to auto-sync and that it's synchronizing to your iPod correctly.
Then, on your work system:
1) locate the iTunes Library file (it normally will be in your users Home -> Music -> iTunes folder) and delete the folder.
2) While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Command and Option keys. This should stop the iPod from auto synching with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer.
3) Set the iPod preferences to manual synchronization. You should then, of course, be able to play tracks from your iPod.
Take the iPod home and connect it to your home system. If luck holds, it will then not switch it to manual.
Again, I don't know if this will help, but it's worth a try. Let us know if it works.
Good luck.

Versamail Auto-sync feature not working with AOL mail w/Treo 700p (Verizon)

I'm having a problem with the Auto-sync feature not working with my 700p (verizon) with my aol mail. It had worked perfect since May 2007. Just started having problems End of April 2008. Sounded like I needed another incoming mail server from aol other than: imap.aol.com, aol told me they also use pop.aol.com, that isn't working either. I get an error message that says "last auto-sync attempt failed."....Anyone else having this issue? I'm trying to decide whether to get rid of my aol mail of 14 yrs and use other address to continue using versamail 3.5 or keep aol and use Verizon Wireless sync. I do not like how wireless sync sends mail to outbox and then syncs vs sending right away. Please help...
Post relates to: Treo 700p (Verizon)

I am having the EXACT same problem: Palm 700p, Versamail, AOL, Verizon.
It started about 1 month ago. The GET still works, but AUTO-SYNC does not...After spending hours on the phone with Palm tech support, and reaching someone who said AOL had changed something in their servers. They suggested TRYING Chatteremail, another Palm product. I have tried it for 20+ days out of the 30 days you get for free. It works pretty well, but NOT every e-mail that goes to my AOL acct is making it to my phone. The thing that's great about Chatter is that can be "live" all of time. Not auto-syncing every 15 minutes.
It's very frustrating....The same way the Versamail just stopping auto-syncing is very frustrating. With Versamail, sometimes I did not even get the error message. If Chatteremail worked consistently, I would bite the bullet, and pay for it, but to pay for it, and have it not pull down all the e-mails, all the time is not good.
I spoke to Palm Tech Support in N. America today, and they say the way AOL uses IMAP servers is in a non-traditional way, and it's very hard to deal with. They suggest ditching AOL, and using something reliable for syncing purposes like GMAIL. It's just hard to cut the cord. The man I was on the phone with knew of my problem, and he solved it by getting rid of AOL. It's just tough, since so many people have the e-mail address for me.
On http://mobile.aol.com/aolproducts/mobile-email/mail-client
there seems to be some indication when you click on Smart Phones on left, that Coming Soon is Palm, but I don't know if that's going to be downloadable for 700p, or Palms moving forward. Or how far away that is.
I tried wireless sync and hated it.
This is really a pain in the butt.
*** Who did you speak to at AOL?
*** How did you reach them? e-mail? phone #?
I also did a search and found another program called "Snappermail", which I might try, and see if it's any better than Chatteremail.

If you find anything out, please let me know here, ok? This is very bad for me.

Modify repeat_interval for Auto Sync Jobs

Is it "permitted/supported" to modify the repeat_interval for Auto Sync Index jobs created when using the syntax SYNC(EVERY "SYSDATE + 30/86400") which give a repeat interval of 30 seconds
I do not want to have partitions older than a (sysdate-3) days and none greater than "sysdate" to be running. I create new partitions daily and so would like to start/stop partition jobs for the sync window. If I get data outside the window, say 7 days old, then I would run that specific partition sync manually.
Is there a way to define the interval to be a moving window?
Regards

There is a Job created for each partition. There is a repeat_interval parameter set for the Job from the SYNC(EVERY ...) The memory and degreel_parallel parameters go into the Job PLSQL definition
If you change the index then the value in the parameters column from user_ind_partitions only has the most recent value (it seems) and eventually it can get confusing.
REPEAT_INTERVAL is a JOB thing and modifying that works just as well **and** keeps the parameters values intact as when the index was created.
Also, I found **and** it could be something in the syntax I had, that if I had loaded data and the job had not kicked in yet, I could not modify the index for any partition. We load data continuously and we have daily*4 partitions (for 5 years). So quite a few partitions and Jobs. Disabling a Job would be much simpler.

Sync'd iPhone 5 two days ago, all fine. Plugged in y-day to charge and phone attempted to auto sync...iTunes now says unable to sync bc I need an extra 27GB of storage to copy iTunes Library. I have not made any changes to my settings. Any ideas?

I sync'd iPhone 5 two days ago w/o any issued or problems. Connected phone to iMac for a charge yesterday and iTunes stated an auto sync. iTunes popup box appeared stating phone could not be sync'd b/c I needed an additional 27GB of storage, apparently to load iTunes Library. I did not change or modify any settings. Has anyone experienced this or know how to solve this syncing issue.
Side note: iTunes does recognize that my phone is plugged in, charging. Thank you.

One additional finding this morning ... iTunes can't handle my iPad being connected. Immediately upon recognizing the iPad, iTunes comes up with the same message as happens with the iPod indicating "iTunes has stopped working," forcing an immediate shut down of the program. Opposite the case with my iPod, iTunes at least recognizes my iPad.
No idea. This is madening.

IPOD auto-sync mystery

I am a relatively new user to ipods (about 2 months). I have ITunes set up to sync only the songs in my library that are checked. I rate these songs either 3,4, or 5 stars. Songs that are considered 'Recently Added' will sync correctly no matter what the rating. But after time (when they are no longer 'Recently Added'), all of my 3 star songs will delete from my ipod, even though they are still checked in my library. Only 4 and 5 star songs will auto-sync. I have the latest 7.1 itunes. Is there a mystery setting I don't know about? Thanks for any help. I would like not to rate all my songs 4 or 5.

It may be that both systems think they "own" your iPod. I don't know if this will help, but give this a try:
