Idisk and sync issues

Please help or my i book is about to swimming in the Indian Ocean, each time i try to set up idisk, my machine crashes when it gets to the sync stage. It tells me my idisk user name and password is incorrect ( it isn't ) then when I force quit the app, my machine will not shut down, with a msg about the mirror writing application is not responding, so holding down the the power key until it quits is the only option.
I pay for a service that I cannot utilise or will not run,,, not happy.
I have 42gb available on the machine from the 80 odd on the machine, would a memory upgrade help any??
Many thanks

I have 42gb available on the machine from the 80 odd on the machine, would a memory upgrade help any??
Your iBook has 2 different types of memory/storage - RAM and hard drive. Typically when you say "memory upgrade" it refers to upgrading the RAM. The "42gb available ... from the 80 odd" is a reference to space on the hard drive.
Depending on how much RAM you have installed, you could upgrade the RAM. However that doesn't have anything to do with the hard drive and wouldn't change the "42g" number.
To increase the "42g" number you would need to replace the hard drive with a hard drive that has larger capacity.

Extreme charging and syncing issues

Okay, so for the past few weeks I've been developing charging and syncing issues. The first third party usb cable worked for a while and after some point it begin to physically wear and tear, and wires were disconnecting. Needed a new charger, so naturally I went and got another one. However, it didn't work, and as a measure to see if it was faulty, I plugged in the old one and smelt smoke/a burn smell.
So, I plugged the new charger into an old ipod touch 2G and it charges and syncs just dandy. The 3GS is a particularly weird case here; as it will not charge while on. After letting it die, I plugged it in and got an empty battery indicator with a charging (lightning) symbol, and after a couple of minutes it powered back on, but still wasn't charging once ios actually booted up. Weird, right? If I could connect to windows I could restore it to remove the jailbreak, as using Erase All Content and Settings keeps the phone in an endless loop until I hard reset.
The kicker here is that it seems to only charge when it's off, as if its plugged in and you slide to power off, and turn it back on later, it will sometimes have a higher percentage. And, at the place I work, we have many iPads so I plugged it up to the iPad chargers and it worked with some of them, albeit slower then expected.
Is my phone not getting enough voltage or something of the nature? I have 3 wall adaptors, one apple, and two of them standard LG adaptors, and a third party usb cable that notably works for the iPod just fine. I've connected it to 3 different computers with itunes and the result was the same as if it was dead and plugged into the wall; enough power to boot to home screen then die afterwards.
The thing that get's me is when I hit Erase All Content and Settings and it's plugged, it makes a charging noise indication but only when I hit that reset button. If it wasn't for that, I would beleive it was a hardware issue. That, or I'm just trying to deny the phone's inevitable fate. I needed a reason to switch to the 4s, so maybe this is it. I don't like giving on on something without fixing it though so it's gonna bother me until I do.
Thanks for any suggestions or help!

IPhone charge and Sync issues

Hi there I have a problem with my 3G and I sincerely hope I can et some help here. I have had my iPhone for about 18 months give or take and have had no problems with it until recently. I had a minor issue about three months into my ownership, in that I broke part of the circuit board that connects to the charger and sync cable. If you were to look at the bottom of the phone, with the screen up, the missing piece would be at the far right. At first I was freaking out of course, but everything worked. I have successfully updated it twice and never had an issue with charging. I was shocked but very happy about this as you can well imagine. Very suddenly two weeks ago the iPhone would suddenly not kick into the charging mode, though it would trickle charge if left connected. It also is not recognised at all by my computer, or by iTunes. I have tried several computers and several sync cables now and can confirm that the problem is with the iPhone itself. I find it difficult to swallow that this problem is related to the earlier breakage, but I suppose it's possible. One interesting bit here is that if I connect the iPhone to the wall charger with the iPhone turned off, It still doesn't go into the charging mode, but the Apple logo appears, I believe this tells me that the issue isn't hardware related, but I'm not positive.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply, but honestly I find it difficult to believe that the iPhone would work perfectly for approximately 15 months after being damaged. I'm not discounting the possibility, completely, but it is a bit hard to believe.

What is the deal with the ios 7 and sync issues?

For as long as I can remember having ios 7, and maybe even before that, I've had NOTHING but problems syncing my phone to music. I have been trying tirelessly to add a simple playlist that has a specific set of music that WILL NOT SYNC. On top of this there is music that I cannot delete off my phone. I have too much involved in my phone to do a factory reset, and I think it's silly and ridiculous to have to do this JUST to get my playlist issue/music sync issues dealt with. If apple doesn't start addressing these software issues I will take my money elsewhere and never buy another apple device as long as this crap continues. The new iTunes set up is garbage as well. I miss the old iTunes from several years ago where it was so easy to just place music anywhere/everwhere and on my iPhone.

iTunes runs just fine on Lion.
Since you've reinstalled Snow Leopard we can't help you diagnose your issue.

Erase and sync issues (backup/restore)

Hello.
I have an issue with the backup/restore with my iPhone.
Sometimes, it is difficult to find an answer that fits your problem exactly on the forum! Lots of good stuff though!
This post will be little longer than normal, but I need to get all the facts on the table.
I'll try to keep this brief. Please hear me out!
From another post ...
https://discussions.apple.com/message/12273122
Kwopau stated ...
if you do a restore, you only have 2 options, Restore as new, meaning nothing will go on it
and you will just have to start fresh and no contacts will go in there.
The other option is "Restore from Back up _______" it will completely restore your phone
from your last back up and everything will be on there.
End of quote ...
Here is my situation.
I have a 3g 16GB iPhone.
I am still running IOS 3 (not IOS 4).
I do not use sync. I manually manage the music and books with iTunes.
I have an HP laptop.
A while ago, I had to completely rebuild the computer.
The computer has a new computer and user name (I don't know if this matters in iTune/iPhone matchup)?
I have not been able to connect the iPhone since then.
Let me rephrase that.
I can connect with iTunes. I can see all that is on the iPhone.
When I try to add or delete music or books on the iPhone with iTunes or set the manually manage check box, I get the following message ...
The iPhone "myname's iPhone" is synced with another iTunes library.
Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with the this iTunes library.
Most commands appear to be grayed out, I can't add or delete anything.
I do not have anything in current iTunes library at the moment.
My fear is this.
If I do the erase and sync as suggested (iPhone message above) to the iPhone and then use the new iTunes library, will I be able to use the backup (I just created) to restore to the iPhone that I just reset?
If so, will it have contacts and all the other stuff?
I can afford to lose the music and books, and perhaps the apps on the iPhone.
I cannot afford to lose my contact list.
I need to find another way to backup the contact list, Outlook, etc?
If there other posts relative to this, please point me to them.
I am afraid to pull the trigger for fear that iTunes will not recognize the iPhone after the erase and sync and then not allow me to restore.
Perhaps someone can put my mind at ease and convince me that it will all be good if I proceed!
Thanks for you time and help in this matter ...
Bob

Do you know how to transfer purchases? Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes. Click on the iPad nema on the left side of the iTunes window to select it. Then go to File>Transfer Purchases. That should put all of your purchased iPad content into the iTunes library on the PC.
Here are instructions in a very short, easy to follow article.
Transfer iTunes Library to a new computer
This discussion will be helpful to show you how to make the PC work wTunes from the iPad.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3305461
This is the discussion from which I borrowed the some of the text in my post from the discussion above.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
What puzzles me is that if you had updated with the PC, I would have thought that you would have backed up and synced with that PC as well, but read the articles and instructions and post back with questions.
You can email the pdf files to the iPad, or use iOS file sharing, and open and save them in iBooks or another pdf reader app, but start with getting your stuff onto the PC.

CS5 transcoding and sync issues

Hi Everyone,
I am a Final Cut Studio editor, very familiar with Compressor and DVD Studio Pro however I am brand new to Encore and am having a few frustrating issues with CS5. I am working on a blu-ray disc project (this is my first experience with Encore). Here are my issues:
1. Why does Encore want to transcode EVERYTHING? I've tried all flavors of H.264 and MPEG-2, yet Encore still wants to transcode it! I've followed Adobe's published PDF guide to compressing for blu-ray in a Final Cut workflow using the recommended Elementary MPEG-2 stream, but no luck. I've even used Adobe Media Encoder CS5, MPEG-2 and H.264 for Blu-ray settings and Encore STILL wants to transcode!!! However, after a ton of experimenting I did finally find an H.264 setting in Apple Compressor thats works, but this leads to my next and even more frustrating issue…
2. Using H.264 for Blu-ray and Dolby Digital Professional 2.0 (AC3) audio, the audio and video in my timelines are grossly out of sync. The audio track appears to be the correct length compared to the master, however the video comes in about 10 seconds short. My hunch is that it is a frame rate issue, however everything appears to be correct on that front, so I am stumped. I've also tried other audio encodings, but the issues remains. Therefore I assume the sync issue is with the video track.
All of my video assets are 1280x720 30p, edited in Final Cut Pro 7 using ProRes 442. Does anybody have any information on an efficient compression workflow for blu-ray or insight on this sync issue (which after searching the forums seems pretty common with Encore).
Greatly appreciated!
Brian

I believe you are right about 720p30 not being legal for blu-ray. I was able to get around this by encoding with 59.94 fps. However I think you are mistaken about h.264. Blu-ray is not limited to just mpeg-2. H.264 is absolutely supported by blu-ray, it was officially adopted into the blu-ray spec about a year after blu-ray was introduced to the mainstream. Only some very early blu-ray players may have trouble playing back h.264 encoded discs. I am NOT talking about AVCHD BD5/9 discs either. I mean BD25 and BD50. If you look in CS5, you will see options to transcode non-compliant video to H.264.
Hi Barizzo,
I never said blu-ray not supports h.264. I know I can author a h264 Blu-ray using Encore. But what I meant was that the Adobe workflow document only describes how to create legal mpeg-2 BD assets using Compressor, NOT h.264.
Btw, It's glad to know that you are successfully completed your project.
Is it really possible to generate legal h264 BD assets using compressor, i didn't know that. I was assuming that Compressor can create h.264 streams but not legal BD h.264 stream.. It would be great if you could share the steps.

Belatedly upgraded to iTunes 11; iCloud and syncing issues with iPod

There are now a bunch of tracks in my library listed as iCloud tracks; confusingly, some are duplicates of other tracks, and some are not. Also, with no other change than the iTunes upgrade, it's telling me that I'm way over the limit and can't sync my library to my iPod. I'm sure this is simple but I can't figure it out. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

diesel vdub, i use 11.1.1
solved the issue today. first sync with itunes, so all the stiff you bought on the mobile will be backuped.
1. uncheck sync music in itunes and sync. all the music will be erased from mobile device
2. check music player on the mobile device. just the unwanted songs will still be there
3. go on the iphone to settings, general, usage, music player. there is just a few mb from the remaining unwanted songs. swipeleft and erase the content. switch iphone off and on again
4. repeat step 2. there will be no data. otherwise repeat step 3
5. check sync music in itunes and sync. all the music will be back again but not the unwanted songs.

Major CalDav and Syncing Issues with Ical and Address Book

As a CEO and business owner - I loved the move over to Mac after the intel chip as installed. Yet, the issue of working on a Mac for business comes down to the operating system. Up to Snow Leopard I was very pleased.... since Lion it has gone downhill.   I upgraded to Mountain Lion and many of the issues with speed and problems with mail were addressed. Yet, it appears Apple has made a bad decision with regard to synciing to other programs.
I was told it has cut out syncing capablities for Address book and Ical (I assume other programs). This has caused great issues for The Omni Group, File Maker and Market Cirlce (creators of Daylite) and a lot of angst for me as a business owner!
To top this off - it appears CalDav is not bi-directional and has issues. In other words, it does not work as it should.
I am not sure what Apple was thining when it stopped allowing internal sync between programs. Yet, CalDav and CardDav are not always the answers!
I hope the CalDav issues are being cleaned up and if anyone from Apple wishes to comment on this I would appreciate it. I have tried to talk to support but the powers to be are the ones calling the shots on software design. Support can't fix what is broken the program.
Again, I hope Apple revisits syncing. Maybe the concern is security but it is MY DATA not yours. I just want the programs to work so I can make sales and support my customers efficiently.   You have made it hard to do this with changes.

As an IT consultant, i'm in agreement with Mr Utts.    The promise of "it just works" died with Steve Jobs.   Mac OS has been in freefall since 10.5 .    I need a fully functional OS, not an iPad on my desk. ( this means YOU Forstall !! )
Why break Samba ( a standard ), why break WebDAV ( a standard ), why break CalDAV ( a standard )??    Apple has done ALL of these things and they seem to be doing it on purpose.
The Apple "ecosystem" is just fine, but removing functionality as fast as you can, and removing interoperablity as fast as you can... if Apple products ONLY work within the ecosystem... people can and will leave Apple.    You've already run off the business users by refusing to make a real Server or real Server software.   You ran off the video user with Final Cut Pro X.   Dumbing down (and breaking) the OS is running off the IT User.
Mac OS used to easily walk the line of "hard core enough for a Unix Guru, easy enough for your Mom". Now they just want the Moms.
And i disagree, we are ALL "qualified to say what Apple might do about this...", they will do nothing.   They don't beleive they have made a mistake. They beleive WE are the problem by stubbornly insisting that things that used to work should continue to work.

Newbie File Size and Sync issues

Background:
Premiere/AME newb
MacBook Aluminum 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo 4GB
OSX 10.5.7
Premiere 4.1, AME 4.1
Source Files are screen recordings from iShowU app Quicktime, H.264, AAC 44.1Khz, 640X400, 2-10 frames per second (average size 1.5MB per 1:00 video)
I am recording 'simple' training videos using a screen recording app called iShowU and then I need to do a few edits and combine video's in Premiere. These video's will be used in pdf's and online on our website.
I setup a project in Premiere with settings:
- Desktop editing Mode
- Timebase 10 Frames per second
- 640 X 400 frame size
- Square Pixels
- No Fields Progressive Scan
- Display format Frames (only option)
- Audio 44.1khz
I make a few minor edits by cutting videos and ramping up the volume and then export a 5:00 video to AME with settings:
- Quicktime
- H.264
- 100% Quality
- 640 X 400
- Frame Rate 10fps
- Progressive Field Type
- Square Pixels
- Render at Max bit depth (tried this on and off)
- Optimize Stills
- Frame Reordering (tried this on and off)
- Set bitrate to 1000 kbps
- AAC 32k
After export the audio is out of sync a second or two. I upgraded to the AME 4.1 which i thought was going to fix the sync issues but it didnt. If the syncing issue is caused by the settings im using i wouldnt be surprised.
THe big issue is that my file sizes are really large (20+MB when I need 10MB or less). I did some edits before I reinstalled everything and before upgrading to AME 4.1 and the files were smaller then so I am sure I am doing something wrong now.
Any suggestions on proper project or export settings to achieve good output for what I want to do would be much appreciated.
Thanks very much in advance,
Jason

Thanks for the reply. I tried with that Optimize Stills option off and the file was still over 20MB.
I found a workaround which is to export as another format such as F4v (11MB) and then I used HandBrake to re-encode it as mp4 (5.6MB).
Obviously it would be nice if I didnt have to do that step though so hopefully we can track down the problem.

Wallpaper and sync issue

Hi
I have noticed a strange behaviour where if a user has their wallpaper set to a custom image from their photo album wireless sync is tempramental.
I have a number of customer sites where there are multiple ipod touch and ipad's that sync to a central itunes. They have issues when the wallpaper is set to a picture from the album and sync often drops out. I have found that switching the wallpaper back to a built in one then allows the sync too run correctly without issue.
Has anybody else seen this?
Regards
Phil

I do not recall anyone else specifically mentions this but other users have reported problems with wifi sync and maybe that was the reason.

Why haven't my MobileMe files moved over to iCloud? iDisk and Lion issue?

Everything else has matriculated over to iCloud automatically. But my working files, typically MSOffice files also, have not. What can I do to get them to move? Or should I just put everything onto a hard drive on my desk and chuck the notion of online "cloud" storage? Another way of putting it; iDisk isn't showing up on my computer and is not accessbile via Lion. So, how do I get my files to move to iCloud from MobileMe, and then show up via Lion as either in iCloud or my iDisk?

Please amend your signature to show you are using Lion - having the wrong system showing can lead to some irrelevant answers.
Your iDisk and its contents, including websites and Gallery, do not migrate to iCloud: iCloud does not provide these facilities. The iDisk will continue to work as before but will terminate on 30 June 2012 and its contents be deleted, so you will need to find alternatives before then.
The migration process has probably logged you out of MobileMe and you will need to go to System Preferences>MobileMe and sign in again.
This article examines alternatives to the facilities iCloud does not provide:

Address Book and Sync Issues with Verizon Curve

I got my first BB about a month ago and like it, for the most part. I have three major issues with it now:
1. SYNC I've downloaded and installed the latest software from pocket mac and my first sync went fine (I have a MacBook Pro running 10.4.11). Every sync after that has failed. I've tried the recommended solutions like cleaning out the sync history, re-installing, etc. I've un-installed and re-installed several times with no change. The sync begins fine and but never finishes. One thing that could be a problem is the version - every time I download the software, I've clicked on the newest version, (PocketMacForBlackBerry4.1.25.dmg) but after it installs, it calls itself Version 1.2 (1.4). Shouldn't it be 4.1? I know there are issues with older versions, but I can't seem to get 4.1 installed.
2. ADDRESS BOOK Sinse my first and only sync, I've needed to add a LOT of contacts into my address book manually. It doesn't work most of the time. When I add a new contact and save, it won't exit the contact, but pops up this note: "Address updated externally, changes will be lost and the viewer closed." The same thing happens if I'm trying to create a new entry or edit an existing entry. The real crazy part is that many of the numbers I've added show up when they are incoming calls - the name and correct phone number, but when I try to call out on my phone, the contact info will not show.
3. GPS Not a major deal, but none of the GPS services work. I use the Google Maps mobile app, but the GPS does not work. Neither does any of the other software I have installed for GPS. I have gone into the preferences and enabled the GPS and saved the changes. The logo even appears on the main screen, it just doesn't work. *NOTE* I've found that Verizon has disabled the GPS unless you pay for the VZ Navigator service. Typical Verizon marketing. Is there any way to bypass Verizon's block?
Needless to say, I'm not very impressed with Pocket Mac software of the RIM address book utility. I've read over many of the posts in this forum and see many other frustrated users. Makes me really think about throwing my money at an iPhone.
If anyone has any solutions to my problems/frustrations, I would be VERY grateful.
thanks for your time,
-marlowe

I cannot say I AGREE! any louder.
This pocketmac people claim in the website to offer "solutions" but they have given me lots of headaches and I too would just go and buy an iphone. The only problem is that AT&T does not work in my house.
No matter how many tricks I have tried I cannot make my 8330 accept the changes i make in my address book. It is absolutely a killer.
Some previous user said that bluettoth could help but at any rate that was to over ride the address book with the 8330 data and in my case i was trying to do the opposite.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

Updating and syncing issues from iPhone to iPad

I have two issues. I just got new iPhone and after creating an iCloud account all my contacts will only appears numbers on my phone (no names attached to the contacts) and now that updated my iPad to io5 nothing will sync with my iPhone. I checked my settings and wifi is on as well as photo stream is on. I'm so confused!

Assuming you are using the same AppleId on both devices (Settings App > iTunes & App stores), you should be able to open the itunes app, select Purchased from the lower menu and download any items you have purchased on the account.
