Is it possible to disable MobileMe sync to get ical sync to work?

iPhone to iCal sync worked fine before MobileMe enabled. Is it possible to disable the MobileMe sync until this issue gets resolved? Can't seem to revert the settings now that it is set up. Calendar notes don't copy, events get dropped. MobileMe is not fit for purpose at present.

Possible to disable automatic syncing in Backup Assistant?

My phone keeps locking up at night after it autosyncs. Would love to disable automatic and just press sync when i want.

Unfortunately the back up assistant feature is automatic, there is not an option to sync your contacts when you'd like; however, I will take your comment as a suggestion and pass it along.

Disable file sync for team

Does anyone know if it is possible to disable file sync for my team?

You can do this on the mac by creating a managed preference file and publish this out by profile manager and or other methods such as Munki.
The preference file that handles this is com.adobe.accmac.plist. and the key is called AHPreferenceEnableSync set to Boolean type.
Your users will think that they can turn this feature on but the result is it will fail to load the file sync window and nothing will sync. Below is what the preference should look like after modifying it. If you don't know much about managing preferences please take the time and learn the basics. If you have questions just let me know.

MobileMe syncing disabled on my iMac

I have an iMac running OS10.5.8, an iPhone 3GS running OS4.0.2. I also have Outlook at work on a PC. Using MobileMe, I used to be able to sync my calendars & contacts between Outlook, my iPhone and iCal. Although the calendars sync between Outlook and my iPhone, so I know MobileMe works, the MobileMe sync is disabled on my iMac! When I plug my phone into iTunes I get a message saying that "syncing is disabled on this computer". It allows me to override for syncing podcasts, etc., but not for regular ongoing MobileMe syncing of calendars. In System Preferences->MobileMe-->Sync is grayed out.

Has your mobile me account expired and have not been auto renewed?

Multiple SIM instances on same db - disable Active Sync for one?

Hello. I am trying to set up two instances of Identity Manager that are running on the same machine and are connected to the same database.
I want one to be doing the Active Sync provisioning and the other to not.
Is there a way to disable Active Sync resources from starting up on one instance but not the other? I know I can manually start them, but I'd like the Active Sync resources to automatically start up for one of the servers.
I am using -Dwaveset.hostname and setting it to a different value for each instance.
Thanks.

Hi Laxman,
If its a testing purpose its ok to have a one oracle_home and single listener for multiple DB. One problem when applying oracle patches for one of the instances running in a multiple DB running then you need to bring all the DB running in that host since the oracle_home is sharing between all db instances.
Thanks
Sunil Rajesh K.C.Starting with 11g, patchset updates are full installs and done into a new home. This makes it possible to migrate one instance at a time. However, your point would be a consideration for one-off patches like CPUs.
However, please note ... OP --- PLEASE NOTE even with multiple oracle homes, you still only need a single listener.

Alternatives to MobileMe Sync?

I was using MobileMe Sync to sync settings, dock icons, FTP account (transmit) etc. between my two Macs.
Are there any alternatives now after MobileMe has been changed to iCloud? It is really a huge problem for me, since I have to setup all my stuff twice. I cannot understand why they had decided to take this feature away. Please Apple, add sync to iCloud!

I also want to add to what Mr Endo said...
A) It shouldn't be possible to select a folder and then have the option of publishing to Mobile Me, Facebook or Flickr. For me those are all grayed out when I have a folder selected in the sidebar.
B) Are you referring to a project or an album by chance? If so, then you will need to select the photos, in the Browser, before choosing to upload to an online service.
Cheers,
Owen

Disabling default Sync iTunes with iPod (special case)

I would sincerely appreciate it if someone could answer my question:
I want to know if I can disable the iTunes default were it "automatically copies the songs and playlists in your iTunes library to your iPod, and deletes songs from your iPod that aren't in your library" when you connect your iPod to your computer. I know that you can do this from the iTunes preferences, but this requires you to connect your iPod and therefore lose all the songs on the iPod that aren't in the library before you would be able to change the setting. (my library has changed a lot and I don't want to lose all the songs that are only on my iPod).
Is there some kind of keystroke that you can use to prevent this default script from running so that I can change the setting without losing all the songs unique to my iPod? Thank you.
+Possibly helpful info:+
I have iTunes 6.0.4 and an iPod Photo. I set up all of my music on my iPod using an earlier version of iTunes (likely version 5). In that earlier version, I changed the preference to disable auto-syncing, but I have since installed iTunes 6.0.4 and (can't tell)/(change the setting) unless I plug in my iPod

You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘ Apple) keys together. I believe this command has been the same from earlier versions of iTunes until now. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and it 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 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. You should then be able to change your settings: iTunes for Mac - Keyboard Shortcuts

ISync / MobileMe Sync added 18.000 blank contacts in Contacts app !

... and this keeps syncing with all my computers. This becomes a **** and I disabled the synchronization of course, but how can I solve this ? Where does this bug come from ? Anyone else with the same problem out here ? Many thanks for your help !

If you are syncing between computers, then it wasn't iSync.
iSync is only for syncing contacts and calendars to non-Apple mobile phones via a local USB or Bluetooth connection. It does not sync anything between computers.
The *MobileMe Sync* forums start here:
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=116
Incidentally, your signature say's you are running Mac OS X 10.3.x - the minimum requirements for MobileMe are Mac OS X 10.5.8

MobileMe sync suddenly failing

MobileMe synced between all of my devices (iPhone, Macbook Pro, iMac and iPad) perfectly fine until yesterday, when my iPad decided to give up.
First of all it was the Safari Bookmarks that no longer updated. I tried the tricks on here of disabling/deleting the account then enabling it again, no luck.
I completely removed my MobileMe account from my iPad and then entered my details in again. Now absolutely nothing would sync 'over the air'. Even after a lengthy wait.
I then tried a restore from backup. Again, no luck.
Finally I did a fresh restore of my iPad software. I managed to get Bookmarks and Calendar working okay, but now I have to sync Address Book manually.
It's all very strange and happened after things have been working fine for months. I'm up to date on all the software and haven't installed any new Apps over the last few days.
Probably not much anyone can do now, just checking in to see if anyone else had experienced something similar over the last few days?

The short answer is yes, people are having problems today with MobileMe. I was just told by an Apple support guy that the system has been problematic all day. But of course, they don't tell anybody that on the MobileMe website.
I just spent a torturous 10 hours+ trying to set up and enable MobileMe on my ipad and iphone. It was a total, unmitigated disaster despite valiant efforts by the tech (and several hours on the phone) to help me.
(Incidentally, there's no support phone number for MobileMe and even the other Apple techs can't call them. The MobileMe "chat line" wasn't even allowing me to "link" with it, whatever that means.)
Nothing we tried worked. At one point MM completely wiped all my contacts off my iPad. At the same time, it duplicated every single contact in my MM web account. So -- NO contacts on my iPad, DOUBLE contacts at me.com.
Later, it wiped out my iCal from my iPad. Completely gone; it was totally blank. I had to reload it from my Mac (after DELETING the mobileme account).
Now, I'm still getting horrible, horrible "ghost" effects even though I have mobileme turned completely off. I just re-synced my iPhone with iTunes and it duplicated every single calendar entry. Every. Single. One.
I'm ready to kill myself.
Apple should be ashamed to be selling such a wonky product. And to not offer phone support -- shame on you, MobileMe -- whoever, and wherever, you are.

Is it possible to disable "on my mac" in contacts?

Is it possible to disable "On My Max" contacts in my Contacts file in Mavericks or Yosemite? I only want to see iCloud contacts.

When I initially read your advice I thought that if I deleted all of my contacts from the "On My Mac" account, I assumed it would delete all my contacts in iCloud too after syncing... but I tried it and it appears to have worked. Also, I should note that in order for "On My Mac" to disappear as an account option, it is necessary to delete the GROUPS too from "On My Mac". By the way, I double checked your advise and there are a couple other threads in Apple Support Community (it looks like you might have answered this question before?) that give the same advice as you did for this same problem mentioned by others.
I just upgraded to Yosemite Beta and just wanted to make sure your advice would hold true for Contacts in Yosemite Beta... and it appears it does hold true. Thank you Barney!

Is it possible to disable multiple logins?

Is it possible to disable multiple logins by the same user on different computers? I have network hosted user accounts. I need a way to NOT make it possible for user A to go to client Mac A, login and leave himself logged in there then go to client Mac B and login there also. This is creating some unpleasant effects on the server - naturally!
Any easy way to accomplish this? Perhaps through Profile Manager?
Thanks!

Simon,
Thanks for the reply but I need some elaboration.... "the "Login" preferences for users and groups".... what exactly are we referring to? I don't see such option (or atleast the way it's written), in either Server app or Profile Manager. Are we talking about the same OS X version?
Thanks.
P.S. Despite the fact that I have enabled the option in Profile Manager to logout all users on all computers after 30 minutes of inactivity, I have noticed that the iMac clients don't log out the users after the said time...

Can´t sync movies with iTunes 11.1.4 (on Mavericks 10.9.1) to iPhone 4S with iOS7. Is there a possibility to reset the sync on iTunes?

I produced some videos in iMovie 10.0.2 and transfered they to iTunes 11.1.4.
That worked so far....
After that I´ve compressed the movies for the use with iPhone and iPod
.....also worked.....
Then I tried to sync the movies to my iPhone4s with iOS7.0.4. The sync starts, runs and ends without an error. But after that I can´t find the movies on my phone. There is enough free memory on my phone and I also tried to shut the movie app and restart my phone. The movies are still not there.
When I check what´s on my phone with iTunes (iPhone connected), iTunes says the movies are on my phone!?!?!?
Maybe there are some troubles within a sync "library" or something like that? Is there a possibility to reset the sync services or whatever is responsible for the sync?
Or maybe somebody has another solution which solves the problem!?
The strange thing is that my music, books and all the other stuff will sync fine!
Hope that someone can help me with this issue.
thanks a lot

I´ve fixed this issue as follows:
1) did a backup of the iPhone in the cloud
2) reset the iPhone in manufacturing mode
3) restored the backup out of the cloud
After that the sync with iTunes worked well also with movies.

Is it possible to disable the 'edit layout' link on the record detail page

Is it possible to disable the 'edit layout' link on the record detail page? Not the homepages, I know there is a switch for that, but I thought there was one for the detail pages?
I want to disable this as I dont want users saving their own layouts, they must stick to the related sections defined in the default layout. The problem is that if they are to have access to certain related lists when an opportunity is of a certain type but NOT other types. If they have saved the layout (using the 'Edit Layout' link), and change the record type, they will see related sections that have been set to 'Not available' in the default layout (ie step 4) for that 'type'.

Robbo, at this time it not possible to disable the Edit Layout on the record detail page.

Is it possible to disable the screen saver for a certain app?

Is it possible to disable the screen saver just while a certain application is running?
The app seems to crash when the screen saver comes on.
Just so you know, application I'm using is Hogwasher; a newsgroup reader.

Not really. Just disable it manually when you run that application. Then, send off a bug report to the app's developer and tell him to update it for the latest Tiger. Alternatively, use another newsgroup reader.
