Microsoft Sync 2.1 with CE 4.0 - Can localDB be the replacement?
Hello
We are working on WPF desktop with CE 4.0 as the local client db and tried to use Synch 2.1 for synching the db to the server but we are issues. After research, we found that CE 4.0 doesn't support Sycn 2.1 which is not a good thing. I have come across few
work arounds and like to hear the thoughts.
Can we use local db which is currently out there for developers only and roll out? Anybody out there used LocalDB for clients and sync purposes?
Any other options>

Hi,
Your understanding is correct. Compact 4.0 does not support data replication with SQL Server using Sync Framework, merge replication or remote data access (RDA).
Alternatively, we can use SQL Express LocalDB for synchronization. LocalDB uses the same sqlservr.exe as the regular SQL Express and other editions of SQL Server. It supports ADO.NET Sync Framework and more features compared with SQL Server
Compact.
Erik has generalized an excellent table to compare features. See his article
here.
In addition, there are significant differences between LocalDB and SQL Server Compact:
1. Execution mode: SQL Server Compact is an in-proc DLL, while LocalDB runs as a separate process.
2. Disk usage: all SQL Server Compact binaries amount to some 4MBs, while LocalDB installation takes 140MBs.
3. Features: SQL Server Compact offers core RDBMS functionality like querying, while LocalDB provides a much richer set of features, including Stored Procedures, Geometry and Geography data types, etc.
Administration permission is required to install LocalDB.
For your reference:

The computer that I used to sync my Ipad with crashed. How can I copy the pictures from my Ipad to my new computer? When I try to use Picassa to import them I can only see the 'Camera Roll; folder but I have several other folders with hundreds of pictures in them
To copy photos to your computer that were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page - on a PC you can use the windows camera wizard
To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app on your iPad such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer. -

how do i sync my iphone with new itunes? I cant find the sync button
The same way you would sync with any other version of iTunes.
Connect the device.
Select the device.
Select Sync.
In the new version of iTunes, the sidebar is disabled by default. With a device connected, it will be listed in the upper right hand corner.
If you want the side bar back, type Cntrl + S. -

MY hard drive crashed and I had to replace it. Now when I try to sync my iPod with iTunes it says that I have to replace the old library (that is lost forever) with the new library to sync. I do not want to lose all the songs on my iPod! What can I do?
Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

I cannot sync my iPhone with iTunes for Windows. Even if the computer is authorized, it keeps on displaying an error message that tells that this computer is not authorized. I already tried to do the resolutions you have given in case this situation happens.
It's an endless circle.

Hi,
I am using latest version of iOS (5.0.1) and iPhone 4.
My question is stated in the title. I wish to sync iTunes according to my current iPhone settings (i.e. backup my current settings from my iPhone to iTunes), not reinstall apps which I have already deleted.
But when I "sync" my iphone with iTunes, apps which I deleted since the previous backup suddenly appeared in my iPhone.
Any advice is appreciated, thanks.When you sync your phone check the Apps tab in your iTunes sync settings (not the Apps folder under Library on the left sidebar) and confirm that the apps you don't want on your phone are unchecked prior to syncing.

You need to do as provided. If no change after restoring as a new iPhone or not from the backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem.

I recently lost all of my contacts on my iPod touch 4g. If I sync my iPod with my backups on my PC, will the contacts come back to my iPod or will the sync delete the contacts from my backup file?
The contacts are part of the backup. So restoring from a backup that has the contacts should have the contacts. Make sure that you have autosyncing turned off, otherwise when you connect the iPod to the computer iTunes may overwrite the old backup with the new contents of the iPod that does not contain the contacts. To turn off go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says Prevent iPods...

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it. -

Hold down the Option key while you boot your Mac. Then, it should show you a selection of devices. Click your flash drive and it will boot from that.
