Login and sync'ing

Still seem to be many issues with PHDs and Mobile Accounts, but a couple of things are currently a problem for me and hoped for some help here.
Login and Logout of a Mobile Account syncs the background set, even though the managed prefs include:-
syncBackgroundSetAtLogin = dontSync;
syncBackgroundSetAtLogout = dontSync;
Since it checks the entire ~/ folder, logging in and out take a long time and yet it should NOT be even checked. This seems to have occurred since updating the clients to 10.6. Have the keys been changed? How can this affect it when the server has not changed (still 10.5.8)?
I have also always experienced occasional errors when the background sync runs, warning me that there is a conflict since a file has been changed locally AND on the network home. Apart from the fact that this should not happen as nothing has been accessing the file on the server, the error message dialog includes the size and datetime data for both files and it's IDENTICAL so IOW the file has NOT been changed at all.
Anyone any clues as to why the sync process mistakenly thinks there's a conflict when there obviously is not and how this can be fixed? Is this just another bug and it's fixed in 10.6 Server?

Well, try this...on the assumption that somehow her windows account ever used a shift-start of itunes and somehow got into your library by mistake.
Search your hard drives for all files containing ITL. Make sure Windows is set to display file extensions and hidden files.
Once you are sure you know where all the ITL files are, then do a shift-start of itunes in her Windows account.
Press *AND HOLD* the shift key while starting itunes. She should get a message asking to choose or create a new library. Choose an existing library and make sure to browse to the ITL file in her username path.

If you don't see the screenshot from that article, try again and keep holding that shift key.
iTunes always uses the last ITL file it used from before, until it gets another shift-start. Maybe she (or someone else) did a shift-start ages ago, and forgot about it.
She should only have to do this shift-start once, not every time.

In mail app, you can remove the account and add theirs in settings>Mail, Calendars,Contacts.
or add theirs only and in mail, go up a level and view each inbox seperately.
The ipad is not designed for multi-user use however so it is not easy.

What exactly will "erase and sync"-ing my ipod erase?

so i want to download a video onto my mom's ipod but apparently the ipod has been synced to another itunes library when last time, i plugged it into the same computer to update it...
anyway the notification "do you want to erase this ipod and sync with the contents of this itunes library?" came up so i just want to know what will be erased.... like i don't want to lose her apps and the progress she's made in them hahaha.
just some more details:when i plug in the ipod,
under the "Tones" section--i didn't checkmark it;
"Sync Music" didn't checkmark it
"Sync Movies" well I want to checkmark it and check the video i want to download
"Sync tv shows" "Sync photos" all aren't checkmarked
so the only thing i have checked (or want to check) is the movies. the ipod currently doesn't have any music on it but lots of photos and apps and i don't want to lose any of them. so if i were to click "erase and sync" will that delete the photos and apps and the progress?
MUCH THANKS TO ANYONE THAT WOULD HELP!

You have to use the manual method of syncing to copy music and videos for other than the one syncing computer you can have. The manual method is discussed here:

WARNING!! Instaling itunes 7.0.2 from 7.0.1 and Sync'ing wipes out iPod

Enough said. **** all 10,000 or so tracks wiped. ARGGGGH!!!

Hi
I had exactly the same problem caused by iTunes 7 and the new version of Ipod software. Best thing to do is to re-install the old version of Ipod software (1.1.2) via the iPod Updater 2006-06-28. You can download that at:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ipodupdater20060628forwindows.html
You'll need to first uninstall iTunes 7, install the Updater, restore the iPod using the sofware you just downloaded, then finally reinstall iTunes (v6 if you don't want the same problems all over again
Good luck

Bluetooth Sync'ing with Prius Issues

Ok so here we go.
Back in 2006 I bought a Prius. A couple of months later got a 700P. I had a heck of a time getting it to sync with my car. I remember reading here about a patch for the phone itself to resolve it. I downloaded the patch and all was well and sync'ing.
Then came the computer crash of 2008. Not to mention my phone was stolen.
So with the aid of the phone insurance I have a new phone, and also got a new computer. Now I cannot find that patch information anywhere!
Any suggestions?
Post relates to: Treo 700p (Verizon)

Ok found the solution and will post it here if anyone else has the same issue.
When you use the interface on your Prius to set up a new device, then you open your palm to sync it will ask for the car's password. When you input it, the device will show up but the car still won't recognize it. It will stay on the screen saying "input the security code".
So once you put in the code in on your phone, make a phone call. That seems to sync it up with the car.
Hope this helps others!

Contacts and Calendar not sync'ing with Outlook 2010

All was fine today until (maybe coincidental - maybe not) I had a Microsoft Exchange email account added to my Outlook 2010. I have an iPhone 4, and I usually sync daily, especially when calendar or contact changes take place. I am currently not using the icloud, so all contacts and calendar events would be way too outdated.
I have checked my Outlook settings under "info" and cannot get my contacts and address to load. I even see the "Contacts syncing"..."calendar sync'ing" when the overall iTunes sync takes place with my iPhone.
Help!!

Yes, it is. Do you have Desktop Manager v6?

HT1296 When I sync my iphone with Windows 7, the contact moves to my computer, but the contact is not complete. No phone numbers. What am I doing wrong? I have also tried sync-ing with Yahoo, and that doesn't work either.

The music sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. File>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to move everything to your new computer.

What is the best way to have Mac setup for sync-ing 2 calendars? Any way to change? When we 1st got our Macbook we unknowingly set it up wrong--as 2 separate users, with separate everything. Good for contacts and email, bad for calendar, photos, music.

Since I upgraded to iOS 7.1.2, new Outlook calendar and contact items will not sync to/from my iOS devices - I am not using the iCloud, just sync'ing direct to/from laptop. Does anyone have a solution?

Having trouble sync'ing. Receiving Overcapacity error on my 64GB iPhone 5. Backed up and restored but still having sync issues.

I have an iPHone 5 64GB with iTunes 11 installed on an 2 yr old HP laptop running Windows 7. I am having sync'ing issues. I am receiving an overcapacity error I have not seen before even though I can manually remove audiobooks I have previously loaded to get the overcapacity down below the available 64GB limit. I have removed most of them now and can get the sync to begin. Not sure if it will actually complete. But now I do not have but a relatively few audio books loaded. I have backed up and restored to see it that helps but am still getting the same overcapacity error. Seems whatever I had included was doubled in an "other" category. Also, in the recent upgrade to iTunes, it takes forever to sync when I change content. Sync'ing takes a lot longer than before. Has anyone else experienced similar performance issues.

Lawrence Finch has previously provided the following helpful info...
"Other" data is real data that you put on your phone by using the built in apps. It is not music, not videos, not pictures and not App Store app data. It is "OTHER" meaning everything that does not fall into these categories. Such as:
email messages and attachments
Reminders
Calendar entries
Contacts
Text messages (*** this can take up a lot of space)
MMS messages and attachments
Genius data
Music cover art
Operating system settings
Safari cache
bookmarks
Game Center status
Music catalog
If you have a lot of text messages stored, that can make "Other" very large. Another problem area is corrupted files. When app and data files become corrupted, they may end up in "Other". To fix that, perform a restore from a recent backup. That prevents corrupt files from showing up.

My 6th Generation Nano Shuts down my Thinkpad, I've tried uninstalling iTunes, turning off auto sync'ing and restoring my ipod, but every time I plug in my iPod, my whole pc goes blue and then reboots in safe mode. Please Help. Thanks.

Hello kidmango,
I am going to have to agree with planb77. Look into other drivers in your computer causing the issue, not just the nano's drivers.
It is possible that security software is the culprit. Use this:
iTunes: Troubleshooting security software issues
You may have to restore your computer to a previous point. From before the issue started. Contact computer manufacture or Windows for steps, or do a search with a search engine.
I would test the ipod on a known good computer to see if its the ipod is the issue. My gut says no. You can set a reservation at an Apple Retail Store. Apple.com/retail .You can also test a known good ipod on your computer.
Hope this helps.

Nokia Email App and Exchange Mail quit sync'ing gm...

Life was good for many months using the Nokia Email app on my N97 to make my main email account, gmail, function essentially as push email. Suddenly, Nokia email quit getting new mail from my gmail inbox. Mail I sent from the N97 was still sent, and still sync'ed to my gmail sent mail. I uninstalled and reinstalled the Nokia Email app with no success. So I changed to the Exchange mail app which I don't find as functional, but the same thing happened - it wouldn't get mail from my gmail inbox but would still send mail from the N97 and sync that to the gmail sent box. This happened more or less two weeks ago. My son had the same setup on a N97 mini, and his Nokia email app has continued to work with his gamail inbox. This suggests something is amiss with my gmail, but I changed nothing, and Google is/was no help. So I've reinstalled the Nokia email app (from the ovi store) and changed over to ovi mail which I access with the email app on the N97, and I have my gmail forwarded to my ovi mail. So far that is working. Wonder if anyone else has had this happen and has any solution? Cheers and TIA!

I posted I had created an @ovi.com email account and that I was using the Nokia email app (form the Ovi store) to get push email working. I forwarded my @gmail.com account to the @ovi.com account. Well, that worked for a few days, then it also quit sync'ing and downloading mail even though I could send mail using it. So then out of the clear blue, I got this email directly to my N97:

Well, I had NOT changed my password, but I did what they asked, and my @ovi.com account started working with my N97 again. I did not go back and try with my @gmail.com account. I am just so tired of trying to get/keep my push email working with my N97. There are many other manufacturers with smart phones that work correctly with push email. I'm not sure which I will be changing to soon.
