Iphone and Camera Syncing Issues

When I plug in my Iphone to my MacBook I get an error message that reads "Syncing has been disabled on this Machine". Then when I click "Override" It states that it cannot be done. Then the iphone will start sycing. When I plug in either of my two cameras the computer does not recognize them at all, not allowing me to upload any photos. Almost as if nothing has been plugged into the USB Port. This also happens with Printers. It does not recognize that a printer is plugged into the USB port, therefore does not allow me to print anything.
What should I do?

There's a whole "encyclopedia" in these forums about this problem. Suggest you search here for something like "iCal event duplication" and you should find a good bit of helpful information.
That said, I had similar problems with my iPhone 3G and then my iPhone 4, and it basically came down to MobileMe issues. My best advice would be to look first to see whether or not the calendar on your MBP agrees with the one on MobileMe - I'm betting you'll find issues there for which the phone is just a display medium. It will probably be necessary for you to reset your sync data and clean out either the iCal data or the data in MM Calendar.

HT4623 Iphone and ipad syncing issues

both my iphone and ipad stopped syncing with my computer (pc). The ipad never charged from my pc anyway but the iphone did. anyone else having this issue?

I fugured out that deleting from iPad does not delete from iPhone and whatever data is there is cloud will be retained for iPhone.

Iphone and ical syncing issues

My iphone 3GS seems to be creating double all of the ical entries? I have recently updated to the new mobileme calendar but this was happening just before also.
I enter ical events on both my mac book pro and my iphone. Ical does not double the events but the iphone does.
Anyone else had this issue or know what could be causing it??
Cheers.

I recently got a replacement iPhone and when syncing it I found I lost all my downloaded music in my iPod, can I get it back?

I recently got a replacement iPhone and when syncing it I found I lost all my downloaded music in my iPod, can I get it back?

I lost all content on my ipod after connecting it to a new computer. I had brought my iTunes library over from the old computer and had the most recent iTunes installed, but iTunes didn't see the ipod. Long & short of it is I worked with Apple support, finally was able to restore the ipod and everything looked like it was syncing normally. When I ejected the ipod there was no content on it at all. After trying several times unsuccessfully to get it reloaded and another session with Apple support, they suggested the ipod was damaged. Since it was working fine up till that point I doubted that. I then thought it might be the iTunes library that was corrupt so I checked that. (It's fine.) So I found an ipod repair place (authorized Apple dealer) and when I called them they found that it appears to be an issue with iTunes software itself and pretty much said I have to wait for an update to fix the issue. So I did everything you're supposed to do & it messed up my ipod. Now iTunes doesn't recognize thje ipod again!

What happens if I make a picture album on my ipad or iPhone and then sync with my Mac? Will it add a new album to iPhoto on my Mac? Also, what will happen if I add pictures on my ipad to existing albums that I made in iPhoto on my Mac?

So what I have gleemed from this thread - is that Apple will not help me if an iPad mini is dropped and the screen breaks. I would have lived without the insurance if I could have simply bought a new screen and then had it replaced by Apple.
On something so fragile I would have expected a piece of glass to be a replacement part. But I am glad I made this post because now I no for sure if I break the screen there is no way to have it fixed by Apple and keep it in Warranty.
Yup, kind of like anything else you accidentally break that is more cost effective to replace than to repair. Keep that iPad away from the toddler

IPhone Cross-platform Sync Issue

I sync as follows:
MS Exchange/Outlook 2007/Windows XP SP2 <--> Plaxo <--> iCal/Leopard <--> iPhone/1.1.3
All works well, except:
Calendar entries: Multi-day, all-day, non-recurring entries created in Outlook sync properly to Plaxo and iCal, but show up on the iPhone extended by one-day; e.g., an event spanning Jan 11-13 shows properly in Exchange, Plaxo and iCal, but shows up in the iPhone as Jan 11-14. When synced back to iCal, these events are NOT extended by one day. Events created in the iPhone and then synced back to iCal, Plaxo and Outlook do not exhibit this behavior. I've upgraded to the latest build of Plaxo, deleted the sync points and iCal calendars and started over, but it still does this. Is there some inconsistency in the Outlook data format that might be causing this? Everything is on Eastern Standard Time.
Thanks,

Fixed. Plaxo for Outlook update 3.8.0.64 fixed this so that all-day events sync properly. Thanks to Drew at Plaxo support forums for the info.

Your phone connected, iTunes running, under the "Apps" tab, you've selected this app to install on your phone, correct? Hit the "Apply/Sync" button, lower right on the Apps tab, what happens?

Playback pauses and audio sync issues with live video stream

I'm seeing playback pauses about every three seconds and audio sync issues with our live demo stream when using the OSMF/Strobe player. It happens on both our 2Mbps 720p stream and our 480p 750Kbps stream so it does not seem to be related to higher resolution/bandwidth streams. It also happens if I point directly to a stream asset or if I point to a .f4v with both streams listed for dynamic so it does not seem to be related to dynamic streaming specifically.
The same live streams play back very well without pauses or audio sync issues in the Akamai's dynamic player and even slightly better with JW 5.2.
I have viewed the OSMF/Strobe playback on three different laptops of various age (3 months to 2 years) and two are Windows and one is Linux. I have also tried the various buffering options on the Flash Media Player Setup and Strobe setup and it has not made a noticeable difference.
To see the stream with the Akamai player, go to: http://live.kulabyte.com
To see the stream with the OSMF/Strobe player, go to: http://live.kulabyte.com/osmf
I do not have JW set up for public viewing yet, but the two above show the distinct difference.
We are really hoping to start pointing our customers towards the OSMF player because of the support provided by the community and Adobe, but we have to get the quality of the playback to be acceptable first.
If someone has ideas on debugging I can PM the actual video assets to you.
Thanks,
Tim

Hi Tim,
You need to add this setting:
dynamicStreamBufferTime=8
The actual value can be higher or lower. The best practice is to use a value that is twice the keyframe distance. Anyway, try different values and see which performs the best for your content.
I know that the setup page does not contain this option and it is not documented in the UserGuide. We simply missed it. Sorry.
Also note that the dynamic buffering algorithms are not being used for dynamic streaming content. I tried to explain this here:
https://sourceforge.net/adobe/smp/wiki/Dynamic%20Buffering/
Looking forward to your confirmation that this solved your issue.

TIMECODES are important for audio and video sync issues

Hello, just wanted to pass on what I learned so that others can avoid the trouble that I've had to go through. Perhaps this may help someone who is stuck on the launch pad. :)
BOTTOM LINE: Info for the beginner. Audio and video not in sync in Premiere Pro CS3 V3.2.0
PROBLEM: Capture works great it seems. When I go to the folder that contains the captured file and view in Windows Media Player audio and video are in sync. BUT when viewing the video asset in the source and program monitors, the audio and video are not in sync.
SOLUTION:
Before capturing a tape make certain the following is checked:
(1) Edit->Preferences->Capture->Use device control timecode
(2) Edit->Preferences->Device Control->Options->Timecode Format
(3) Project->Project Settings->General->Video->Display format
As for the devices timecode choose something other than Auto Detect. Then match the project timecode with what was chosen during capture. The projects display format could of course be set to frames.
I searched everywhere for audio and video sync issues in google, adobe forums, F1 help, and hv20.com and everyone was talking about:
(1) Presets: 1080p30 vs. 1080i30 (60i).
(2) brakes in the tape where timecode for the audio and video get misaligned during capture.
But choosing the correct hardware settings and timecodes to solve audio and video sync issues never popped up.
MY HARDWARE: Canon HV30, HDV

>Audio and video not in sync in Premiere Pro CS3 V3.2.0
Must be an HDV only issue because my synch is always perfect.

IPhoto deleting issues and iTunes syncing issues with IOS 5 on my iPhone.

While upgrading to IOS 5 my iphone (3gs) would not allow me to restore to back up so I had to restore to original settings, ugh, losing everything on my iphone. Thought this wouldn't be a problem but iTunes won't let me pick and choose what music I want to add anymore even though I have "pick checked music only" checked. It refers now only to full albums, etc, instead of whatever songs I want from each album. I had to create specific playlists with all the music I wanted on my iphone. And it only added one playlist. I have loads of space on my iPhone so don't know what the issue is. Does anyone know why I cannot add more than one playlist?
Also, I discovered I can't delete iPhoto pics on my iphone. I can trash whatever I add to my Camera Roll but nothing else. I had to designate a specific folder for pictures from iphoto to be added to iphone and those I cannot delete. Anyone know what to do here as well?
Thanks!
Found answer to iPhoto question here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/7636294#7636294
...but still need help with music. thanks

It's inside the iPhoto Library package. Open it from the Finder as show in this screenshot:
Then drag the iPod Photo Cache folder to the Trash, close the package, launch iPhoto and try again.

IPhone 5S Music syncing issues after 8.0.2

Hello,
I have been having irritating issues getting my iPhone 5S to sync my music library over after updating to 8.0.2.
I did a backup onto my laptop prior to updating, and went ahead with the new update. The first thing I noticed was after updating to 8.0.2 in order to sync again, iTunes prompted me that I was lacking 6GB of data on my phone to sync my library. I did not use my phone at all during the updating process so there's no way 6GB of data was magically written on it's storage drive. I could not figure out why in the world iTunes would tell me I needed to free up 6GB to sync the exact same music that was already there prior to. I went ahead and completely deleted my entire Music library from the phone, and tried to resync fresh. I still got the same message from iTunes. Believing in the program and going ahead and doing some spring cleaning, I ended up freeing a good amount of things off of my phone, applications, photos, messages, etc. to drop 6GB from the storage. I went ahead and synchronized my iPhone 5S with iTunes so I could get my music on my phone. It proceeded to go ahead and sync my roughly 1400 songs onto the iPhone. After it was complete, it showed I had an astounding 12GB of free space on my phone... I said to **** with it and just wanted to play my music. The phone seems to have all of my library that I chose to sync on my Music app. The problem is, when I go to play songs the music app will Skip over certain songs. I have not found any commonality between which songs it chooses to skip. It skips newly added songs, it skips old songs, it skips purchased songs, it skips songs downloaded from other sites. There seems to be no structure to which songs it's skipping. Another thing to note, whenever I connect my iPhone 5S to my iTunes and sync, I am Always able to sync something new onto the phone (around step 5 or 6 when it is completing the sync, it will mysteriously add some songs to the phone). Those songs are playable. Then I shuffle through my playlist, and Still the same problem remains, it has removed some songs and skips over them. It seems to Sync songs, and Delete songs... completely at random. This is bothering me and I'm not sure what to do, and am Very unsatisfied with the amount of bugs still left in the software. I wonder if others are having similar issues and maybe we can bring some light to this.
Thank You,
Andrew

Similar issue Andrew. After installing 8.0, the IOS deleted 225 songs from one of my playlists, and I'm still "recalling" songs that are no longer in my Music Library. Fortunately, although the playlist of 235 had only 6 songs left on it ( on my Mac), the Playlist was not erased from my I -Phone. I was able to recreate the Playlist on my Mac, using the intact playlist on my phone. When I synched however, I was back to square one. I went to the Apple store, and I had to reset the phone . We also downloaded IOS 8.02. They saved my playlist in the Cloud, deleted it from my Mac, then synched it. Lo and behold, the playlist I recreated on my Mac, synched to my I Phone. After the reset, I had like 11GB of free space. (Its been 5 days since the "reset" and the number of GBs fluctuates from day to day !!)
When I got home from the Apple store I spent after hours reinstalling all the apps, synchng the phone to the Bluetooth in my car ( you know the rest of the saga) , I purchased a song from I Tunes. I "drag and dropped" it into a Playlist, and synched. Didn't work. Song shows in "Recently Added", but the drag and drop feature doesn't work. Bottom line, I'm not willing to "reset" my phone every time I add a song ! I've tried any number of fixes posted to this support community, but none have worked for me.
Furthermore, it took me 3 hours to get the phone re-synched to the Bluetooth system in my car. However every time I connect to "Bluetooth Audio", the system needs to "find" and "reconnect to" my phone. If you ( or anyone else ) finds something that might work for both the music synch and /or the Bluetooth, I'd appreciate your input.
Thanks, Lorenzo

Importing Photos From iPhone and Camera

I am new to Aperture (3.1.1) - Previously used iPhoto (7.1.5). I have not been able to find Aperture settings that allow for import window opening upon connection of camera for preview of images, option to select images for import and option to delete images from iPhone or camera after import. This was a really useful tool in iPhoto and greatly simplified my workflow. Please help find this ease of import option in Aperture that I previously enjoyed in iPhoto.

Thank you for the link. I am not getting the dialogue pop-up referred to in item 7 following import. I'll try your suggestion: "If this does not pop up, you may need to delete the 'ImportPreset' file (~/Library/Application Support/Aperture) and / or the 'com.Apple.aperture.plist' file (~/Library/Preferences)."
May I ask; Am I deleting the file because a possible problem is suspected with the file?
Will the file be re-written automatically after I delete it? Or
Are the file or files not needed?
If I can get that pop-up, happy days are here again.
Those files are recreated by Aperture on launch if removed and everything they control is set back to the default settings (so the Import Presets file holds any import settings you last used, and the preferences file holds any settings you made in the 'Aperture menu > Preferences dialog).
If you remove them, then you will need to reset any settings you changed from the default settings you saw when you first launched Aperture (and will see on first launch after removing them).
The pop-up will show up after importing from a camera card, but not from an iPhone (at least not from mine which is the 3G). Also, with an iPhone (at least with the 3G), you need to enable the Sync function in iTunes by selecting 'Aperture' from the list under Photos. You can create a specific project for the iPhone in Aperture previous to doing this which allows you to select that project for the Sync.
Once you enable the Sync in iTunes, Aperture will load automatically with the import browser showing you the images available for import (as well as allowing the other import options for those images that Aperture offers). Again - and unfortunately for users like yourself - the small pop-up dialog will not show after import for the iPhone (probably has something to do with iTunes having priority - ownership - of the Sync functions).
Note - on further review on my end, there is no 'Do not display this dialog again' check box in the small pop-up, so removing those files probably won't be necessary as the pop-up should show when a camera card is connected and imported.

Yes, it's a missing feature.

This is a bug in Outlook. The workaround is to right click on the Inbox and "Mark all as read"
