Missing pictures & Sync Issues

Hi,
I have upgraded to 10.10.3 on my Mac and 8.3 on my iPhone and iPad.
Strange things are happening and the sync is not perfect between all my devices :
On my Mac :
- The Photos tab shows 28 386 pictures and 1 317 videos (total 29 703 elements)
- The All Photos album shows 29 561 pictures and 1 317 video (total 30 878 elements)
=> Why is there 1 175 pictures showing ad a difference ??
Other strange things :
On my iPad :
- In the Photos tab, if I add or remove a picture on one device (Mac or iPhone) it will update well on the iPad but it is always saying "14 pictures to transfer"
I tried rebooting the iPad but I always have this message, been there for more than 12 hours...
=> Is there something I can do ??
- The iPhoto Events album is full of empty folder that I deleted but they keep coming back.
=> Is there something I can do ??
On my iPhone :
- The Photos tab shows 29 392 pictures (difference of 6 with the iPad and Mac) and 1 317 videos.
If I add or remove a picture on one device (Mac or iPad) it will update well on the iPad but it is always saying "2 pictures to transfer"
I tried rebooting the iPhone but I always have this message, been there for more than 12 hours...
=> Why is that ?
- The All Photos album shows 29 569 pictures (difference of 8 with the iPad and Mac) and 1 317 video (total 30 886 elements)
=> Again, Why this difference ??
- The iPhoto Events album is full of empty folder that I deleted but they keep coming back, it is well synced with the iPad though..
Is there something I can do to solve all those small issues/discrepancies ?
After so much beta testing I was expecting a smooth and perfect sync ! Never had any issues with Dropbox.

HHaving same issues. Every device showing different number of pics.. Not as much as yours but they are all off.. Not one single device matches. (iMac, macbook Air, iPad, iphone) to solve an issues I turned off iCloud Photo Library on my iPad.. And deleted any images that were locally saved. So photo library is at 0. Then I tried turning iCloud Photo Library back on, but now all I see is big updating sign in middle and no pictures.. It's been updating whole night over 10 hours..
bugs bugs bugs..
anyone have any ideas...

Having sync issues with Outlook 2011 since upgrading to Mavericks

Hi All,
My work Macbook Pro 13" is having issues syncing my inbox and sent mail automatically. It's a hit or miss if I recieve emails in my inbox in a timely mannor with out pressing the Send/Recive button (even when i press it takes minutes to update). My Sent Items can show up an hour later even if I hit the Send/Recieve button.
All my mail is there and shows up/syncs on my iPhone quickly. I upgraded to Mavericks right when it came out and have only been having these sync issues for the last week or so.
I've cleared my mail cache and that didn't work. My calandar reminders and contacts don't seem to have any issues and no other apps have been preforming slow or strangely.... just my VERY important work email. My tech guys are stumped and I wanted to try you guys before they do a major rehaul of my system
Thanks!

A new Outlook Identity will most likely solve your issues. If you have any data under "On My Computer" folders, see this link:
How to move your data to a new Identity
BTW, how much free space on your drive? Use Disk Utility in Applications/Utilities to find this info. You need a minimum of 10% free but 15-20% is recommended.
Outlook gets very sluggish when you are low on disk space. If you have a bunch of older Identities from previous rebuilds you can delete these to help free up space.

ICal refuses to finish 'restore' ; trying to resolve sync issues.

trying to fix sync issues.
using missing sync.
everything worked perfectly for a ling long time before i thought it'd be cute to go in and put birthdays into addressbook, and select the option in iCal preferences to add those events to my calendar.
EVERYTHING has gone to **** since then.
the missing sync guys recommend i backup and restore addressbook and iCal.
addressbook did fine.
when i select the saved ICal database file (icbu) from my desktop, it will not complete.
what gives?
i'm trying to do this to fix another problem.
its like every step is making a new issue.
i am getting close to the edge guys...
pleaes help.
thanks!

(overall problem is that i cannot even get missing sync to overwrite my blackberry 8830 now.
for months, iCal, Addressbook, and Tasks synced perfectly.
all was well until i screwed with this stupid Birthday feature.)

also, i've already gone into iSync and cleared sync history....that didnt seem to affect anything.
thanks in advance for any insights at all.

Like many others, I got the new iPad 3 and couldn't sync all of my photos. The best i got was 1,000 out of 15,000 to work. Today Apple released iTunes 10.6.1.7 and said the syncing issue was resolved. I erased my ipod cache and hit sync. Still locked.

Like many others, I got my new IPad 3 and could not sync all of my photos. The highest I got was 1,000 out of 15,000. Today Apple released iTunes 10.6.1.7 that , among other things, said it fixed the sync issue with photos. I excitedly, erased my ipod cache and hit sync. It looked like it was working, but just like before iTunes locked. This time at 2,244 of 15,000. Anybody have an idea of how to fix this?

What's the capacity of your iPad?
iTunes needs up to 3x of the actual size of the files you want to sync during the sync process. And syncing 15.000 photos could cross the size of the available free space on your device.
Don't forget that the pictures are now optimized for the retina display, so the size increases for each of them.

New iPod Touch owner having syncing issues

I just got a new 8GB touch. Everytime I try to sync it, iTunes freezes. I have installed the OS update 3.1.2, backed up my library and uninstalled then reinstalled iTunes. I'm currently resetting the entire device. If that doesn't work, what else can I try?

This is a syncing issue with having 5 authorized computers. My computer crashd ans is in the shop. When I tried to authorize my laptop to transfer my playlists (and everything else) from my touch, the only option I found was to deauthorize all my computers. I now cannot figure out how to get my music library from my Touch into my laptop I-Tunes account. Every options seeems to indicate that the material on my touoch woul;d be erased. I want everything from my Touch to replace what is on my laptop. I am sure I am missing something obvious, but need help.

IPod Sync issues in Windows 7

I know that there is little to no support for Windows 7 yet, but, is anyone else having an issues syncing their iPod 5th G with iTunes? It will appear in Windows and in iTunes and then it will be "ejected" and disappears from Windows. iTunes will give a "timed out" error because the iPod is missing. I have an iPhone 3GS and that runs with no issues.
I'm running the final build of 7 (6.1.7600). Anyone have any suggestions?

Hey guys! I was in the same boat as all of you, but I was sure their had to be a solution to this problem. I found a solution that worked for me! Ive got the Windows 7 64bit, and my ipod is sycning as we speak! Follow these steps.
1. Disconnect your iPod Shuffle from your PC
2. Press CTRL-ALT-DEL, start the Task-Manager, go to Processes and end the process for "ITunesHelper.exe" (this will prevent iTunes from starting when you re-connect the Shuffle.
3. Now, re-connect the iPod Shuffle - iTunes should NOT start by itself and you should be able to see your Shuffle within the list of your drives (My Computer.
4. Next, download SharePod from http://www.getsharepod.com/download/ and extract the .zip file and start the Sharepod.exe
5. If everything works out, Sharepod will recognize your iPod Shuffle
6. Sharpod won't start if iTunes is open but it will work vice-versa. So, start iTunes NOW and keep Sharepod OPEN.
7. iTunes will re-detect your Shuffle but it will still be available as a hard-drive afterwards as long as you keep Sharepod OPEN. Detection can take up to 30 seconds so be patient.
8. Now go to the iPod Summary tab within iTunes and DESELECT "open itunes when this ipod is attached". Scroll down on the same page and also check the "enable disk use" checkbox. Click the contents tab, then the settings button and choose the amount of disk space to allocate. I chose 5MB. Click back to the settings tab and APPLY those changes.
9. Close iTunes WITHOUT ejecting the iPod.
10. Close Sharepod and simply disconnect your iPod Shuffle (i.e. pull it off the dock).
11. Reboot your computer. After the reboot ITunesHelper.exe will be running again you don't have to care about Sharepod or processes anymore. That is, you can delete sharepod if you want.
12. Simply connect your iPod to the PC as you used to do, open up iTunes and everything should work as it did back in the good old days.
NOTE: Don't eject the iPod from within iTunes going forward, simply disconnect it from the PC manually by pulling it off the dock yourself when you're done.
This solved my sync issues, and I hope it does for you too.

Myriad iTunes sync issues - song cutoffs - artwork problems - yeech!

Hi all,
I’m running the latest version of iTunes on a (late 2013) Macbook Pro Retina laptop, and having several different flavors of syncing issues with my two devices – a 16 gb iPhone 4S running iOS 7.1, and a 32 gb iPod Touch 3rd Gen running iOS 5.1.1.
As best I can tell, some syncing issues such as one of the ones I am experiencing (songs chopped-off when transferred and attempted to playback from the device) have existed in some way, shape or form for nearly 10 years now, so I’m not expecting any grand revelations here - but just looking for some honest advice on how to resolve in the shortest amount of time & with the least pain considering I have a fairly large music library in terms of syncing time required. That being said, below bulleted-out are my current issues / frustrations / thoughts on where the problems may lie.   I would appreciate any advice:
Purchased iTunes songs (ripped MP3’s from CD’s that I own and tracks from other sources do not seem to have the problem…) play fine in iTunes on my laptop, but when transferred to either my iPhone or iPod, they will randomly (it’s not every track) be cutoff near the end of the song. Sometimes the song will stop with 2 minutes remaining and go silent. Sometimes it will stop with 15 seconds remaining and go silent. Sometimes it will stop somewhere in that time range and start the next track on the album while still displaying the info from the previous track. The only solution I have found to this for purchased content thus far is to wipe everything out, and go back and download the tracks from the cloud. I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 1000 tracks that fall into this category, so my options to download directly to the device an artist at a time are kind of time-consuming and cumbersome. Would this have something to do with the file format of purchased tracks vs. ripped ones? I have a lot of older ripped material that was imported as MP3’s or MP3’s converted to M4A’s that never seems to have this problem. The newer purchased files are mostly ACC’s which DO have the problem.   Also would this have anything to do with the fact that my library (including most of the purchased content) was recently moved over and imported to a new Macbook from a Windows backup? Most of my iTunes library was Windows / PC for the majority of its existence for the past decade or so; we only recently switched back to Mac.
Discrepancies between deleting material on a device vs. what iTunes recognizes when it is plugged back in: The other day, being frustrated with the random song chopping, I deleted everything on my iPod Touch 3rd Gen by going into Settings, Options, General, and “Usage” and then “Edit” and selecting to wipe out everything in iTunes. The device appeared to do this, and I was showing 28 gb or so free out of 32 once it completed. Great, right? I proceeded the rest of that day to painstakingly download approx. 900 tracks from the cloud onto the device, hoping to correct the chopping issue. It did this, and I still had roughly 10 gb free. Great, right? Later that night when I plugged the iPod into my Macbook with the 30 pin to sync, iTunes on the laptop for some reason still recognized the songs which I thought I had deleted hours earlier and showed me multiple copies of everything. For the ones that had been deleted, when I clicked to play them on the iPod through iTunes, I got the little gray exclamation point - ! – in a circle like when a track has moved libraries and cannot be found. iTunes then told me my sync could not be completed due to being over capacity on the device by a ridiculous 12 gb or something like that. Huh?? I could have gone through and manually deleted the (by that point more than 1000) duplicate tracks and synced to have made room I suppose – but after accidentally hitting Autofill – iTunes threw up its hands and would not let me do anything further. Any attempts at that point to delete either pending Autofill tracks or missing duplicate tracks just led to endless spinning on the “Preparing Update” notice on the device which led to me having to kill iTunes. Can you say big-time frustration? I eventually opted to restore the iPod to factory (iOS 5.1.1) settings and start over. That device is currently at home slogging through the process of attempting to re-download 400 some songs from the cloud over wi-fi so that I can avoid the cutoff track problem. The plan after that is to sync playlists for certain artists over top of the purchased tracks so that my ripped tracks can merge with them to round out the playlist. Do you see how this is beginning to become a marathon?
Last but not least - it seems to be just since the last few iTunes upgrades for Mac, but I’m having a huge problem suddenly with album artwork staying synced properly. After one recent manual transfer session (30 pin between the iPhone and the Macbook) roughly half of the tracks I transferred had mismatched artwork. Doing this through the cloud (downloading tracks “Not on this iPhone” via the iTunes app) doesn’t seem to have the same problem, but of course this takes longer. Also, what is the deal with “Show All Music” in iOS 7 and playing tracks from the cloud? This is a really cool feature that allows you to save a ton of disk space on your device, but I have found that when I do this that many tracks have mismatched artwork. For example right now I’m listening to a Grateful Dead song that is displaying Genesis artwork. Huh?? Artwork is less of a big deal than the track lengths being chopped off, but it’s still annoying.
iTunes revolutionized the music industry and on the whole has been fantastic. But it seems as if lately, little irritating problems like the syncing issues are becoming more and not less prevalent, and the problem is they aren't being dealt with. I got my first Mac in college nearly 20 years ago now, and have been generally entrhalled with Apple products ever since. But I have to say that this kind of junk lately is more what I would expect in the vein of problems from the shoddy-PC world that seem to linger and never get fixed. Cupertino folks - what's the deal???

You're not the only one judging by the forums!
Likewise I have been using Apples since the Apple IIe(!) and have found them great in every respect. iTunes however over the past couple of years has deteriorated to th point of being unuseable. Apple has made iTunes the hub of your digital life and so it really has to work seemlessly.
I currently have had to completely wipe and re-install my 64Gb iPhone 4s several times to get my music back on to it. I cannot het any playlists to sync which is really annoying and it generally undermines my faith in Apples software quality.
Please put whatever resources are necessary to fix this soon Apple or you will certainly start to haemorrhage customers to other platforms. After all if iTunes remains broken then what's the point of paying the extra for Apple qulaity? You may as well uplaod ebverything to Google play and be done with it!

Easy steps to troubleshoot the Outlook Email sync issue

One question about Outlook that has been asked the most is, why some emails don’t sync in Outlook? Or there should be an email received but why I can’t see it in Outlook?
On this topic, we’ve seen a lot of articles on Microsoft and some other 3rd-party web sites, usually the explanation and the troubleshooting steps are so long that we don’t know where to start. I’m writing this article to make something easier. Not an encyclopaedia
about Outlook sync issues, just a few things we can take a look at before something really “difficult”.
For Exchange Accounts to troubleshoot, of course, this Microsoft Knowledge Base is helpful:
How to troubleshoot synchronization problems when you synchronize your Exchange Server mailbox with your .ost file in Outlook
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/842284/en-us
Here below I will introduce some common causes of the Emails not sync issues in Outlook, steps are based on Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013, which are widely used nowadays.
View
Here comes a user, who says “why don’t some emails appear in my Outlook?” Generally we think it may be caused since the sync process is not complete, but consider this scenario: The “missing” email has been received but the user just can’t see it, is
this possible? Yes, this is possibly caused by the custom view.
First please logon the webmail, or OWA for Exchange Accounts, to see whether the “missing” emails exist there, if yes, then let’s do the following:
Go to the folder where the emails should be displayed, switch to VIEW tab ->
Current View Group -> Click Reset View button. When it prompts to confirm, click
Yes.
The emails magically appear! Why? That’s because you have set a custom view in this folder, such as a Filter in View Settings to let Outlook only show these emails that meet the criteria you have set. Once you click
Reset View, the View will reset and the Filter is wiped out. The emails can be displayed again.
One common symptom of this cause, is that you see a number beside the folder which indicates you have something unread, while you can’t find the unread items. Probably you have a custom view in Outlook that only allows the read items to show.
Another way to reset the View is to run Outlook with the command switch “/cleanviews”, which will restore default view and all custom views you created will be lost:
Press Win key + R, in the Run box, type “outlook.exe /cleanviews”, click
OK or press Enter.
Sync Filter
“Well, I can see the recent emails of the account in Outlook, but emails older than 3 months don’t show in Outlook, I can see these emails on Web, why?” It’s time to consider the Sync Filter.
Outlook has a feature that allows you to limit the amount of data that is synchronized locally to your .OST. The purpose of this feature is to make Outlook usable on devices that have limited or small amounts of local storage. This feature is called Sync
Filter. You can access the sync filter within your E-mail Server Settings under Account Settings.
We can choose the periods of emails we want to keep offline. Switch to
All to keep all emails to local so that they are not “missing”.
(Not all kinds of accounts can use this feature in all versions of Outlook, such as Exchanges Accounts don’t have Sync Filter in Outlook 2010)
Send/Receive Groups
I can sync all folders but emails in one folder don’t sync properly, how does this happen? Please check the Send/Receive Settings.
Go to SEND / RECEIVE tab -> Send & Receive Group ->
Define Send/Receive Groups. We can configure the setting for send/receive here:
Highlight All Accounts, click Edit button, in the new dialog window, check if you have select the correct folder options as you need, you may have not selected the folder which emails are not received. Check the box and
click OK to save, it should be working fine then.
Summary
When we talk about “sync”, we are talking about account types like Exchange, IMAP and Exchange ActiveSync. POP accounts don’t sync, they do a “download” instead, so it’s not talked about (However, some steps are applicable, like
VIEW).
As mentioned above, this article just discusses the easy things we should look at before the deeper analysis, if you have tried all these suggestions but still have the sync problem, feel free to post the question in our forum:

Is there a work around way??????????
Not really. BIS service is not designed to reconcile to the Outlook on your PC as your former BES service did, or there would be no reason for BES, right?
The (dirty) workaround is to created rules in your Outlook and filters on your BIS account login whereby you BCC yourself all the sent-from-handheld mail which arrives in Outlook and by rule is moved to your sent folder.
Then, on the BIS account login site, you create a filter to not foward any message to your device which are addressed as beig from your own email address.
Likewise, any email sent from Outlook must be copied to yourself to receive on the BlackBerry device, however it won't end up in your sent items.

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.
<Ttle Edited By Host>

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

Internal Logic sync issue

hello Community:
I'm stuck in writing limbo now , due to a bizarre and never before seen problem in Logic 9.1.4
a Sync or internal timing issue.....for no reason of my doing, this is what occurs:
1. Using my same Autoload setup used for years, and am simply sequencing MIDI and audio
2. When i record AUDIO at bar 1, then try to LOCK it and SAVE (command-S) the file region vanishes
and ends up placed at the END of my entire autoload sequence- bar 1749 ..... what the $%^ ?
3. the transport position indicator for the region reads "????"
4. MIDI does the same and opening the MIDI region shows that all note informaiton is placed at the same bar (in this case bar 7)
5. if i UNDO this operation, then regions reappear correctly at Bar 1, but i cannot LOCK any regions without this sync issue
There are NO tempo changes programmed in thi sequence- eveything including signature are same.
I have done nothing to change any setting in preferences, project setting or otherwise
this has never happened in the 14 years I've been working on Logic.....dunno
Your URGENT help appreciated!!!

Hey again Pan:
am still having this annoying issue of vanishing Audio regions in my Logic sequence
checked on your above Prefs setting and all is fine
When i record an audio track and try to SAVE and LOCK it - it jumps to the end of my entire bar sequence
if i UNDO this operaiton it returns, but i can only save the sequence with all unlocked regions...
not useful as I do primarlly scoring use for picture.
any other suggestions
I'm running Presonus Firestudio interfaces outboard, but not sure if this wouls screw things up
ANy help again great
cheers

IOS5/Itunes 5 sync issues - music greyed out, not syncing across

Hello,
I am having issues syncing music from iTunes to my iphone and ipad. I use autofill, but have had the same issue when using the sync all music option. All the files are listed in the music tab under the device, but half are greyed out and unplayable on the device (they are greyed out on the device too). There is a sync icon next to the files, but clicking on it does nothing.... I did a clean restore to ios5 and it copied my apps over, but none of my music, pictures etc. This is really annoying can anyone help?
IOS5 GM
Itunes 5

I have been fighting this problem with both my iPhone, my partner's, and my nephew's. It seems to have something to do with music purchased in iTunes vs. music that is ripped, since all my ripped music transfers fine and stays put.
On the other hand, downloaded content shows up doubled (one black, one grey) when I look at my music through the iTunes, just like that screen cap. As long as there's a "black copy" showing, it plays fine on my iPhone 4s, but I find I have to remove the greyed out copies manually and then manually transfer from my iTunes library or from the purchased option on the phone itself. In other words, if the music on the phone in only greyed out copies, and it's not on the phone, it doesn't transfer manually unless I first delete the greyed out versions. -- And then the greyed out versions magically reappear after it contacts the cloud and backs up.
I also sometimes end up with doubled copies, and my albums don't all sort the way they should -- so for example some Diane Schuur shows up under the artist name, and some shows up under albums. To put it all together I had to make a playlist, which is stupid.
Finally, there are some 46 items it tries to sync everytime I do any wi fi syncing of anything with my phone. I have no idea what that is.
I'm tempted to wipe and let all iTunes content be restored from the iCloud, a process that would require an overnight restore. I'm guessing that might solve the problem, but why should it all be this hard? Does Apple look at these comments, because I notice there are several different threads on this site concerning the music app and the iTunes/syncing issue?

Syncing issues with 1st Gen. AppleTV

Hello, having syncing issues with my 1st generation ATV. It just keeps filling up until it is full regardless of the settings.
I have set it for only the last 5 unwatched for tv, movies, etc. and then I have changed every movie and tv show, etc to unwatched and it still puts everything on my AppleTV until it is full.
I have turned off syncing and then back on again. It fills back again. Yesterday I restored it to factory settings, did the updates, turned on syncing with the 'last 5 unwatched' settings again and same result. How the **** do you keep it from filling up with all of your media? I just can't figure it out. Must be missing something. Thanks in advance to anyone that can provide some insight on this. -DR
It does it with all versions of iTunes. I have the most current at the moment (11.0.1)

Hello Winston, thanks. I have tried none selected and only one selected to try to narrow down what is happening. Same result.
As far as it being full I am looking at the multi-colored bar at the bottom that shows what is on it and what percentage of each (tv shows, audio, etc.).

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.

AME CS6 Audio Sync Issue

I was recently in the process of mass converting all of the old video podcasts I help produce from an old m4v format to a newer mp4 format. Both formats are essentially the same (H.264 & AAC audio), but they vary slightly in frame size and bitrate. The difference is that the the old format was the standard for Apple's earlier devices (such as the original Apple TV), and the new format is used for Apple's later devices, as well as Android devices, and is generally more user friendly.
At any rate, I created a Watch Folder to accomplish this, and let it run overnight. Came in this morning to find that the audio was not in sync with the video on the vast majority of the files. I created my own preset, but while I was attempting to solve the problem, I discovered my preset was exactly the same as the Apple presets.
I've tried several different Apple presets, taking the watch folder out of the situation, and playing the files back in different players (Win Media, QuickTime, and VLC). Doesn't matter what I do, nearly all files with audio/video sync issues ranging from a few frames to several seconds. The only way I've found to stop the sync issue is to put the old file on a Premiere Pro timeline and exporting that sequence. But obviously that ruins the whole purpose of Watch Folders.
Anyone happen to have a similar issue and/or have found a solution?
Specs:
Windows 7 Pro x64
Adobe Media Encoder CS6 v6.0.1.31
AMD FX-8120

I do agree it is the wrong way to go about it, but all of the original projects are FCP 6 projects, and the media has either gone missing, no longer linked correctly to the project, or on DV tape somewhere. On top of this, I no longer have Final Cut installed, and my manager for whatever reason decided not to save DV deck or two when we migrated to XDCAM EX. Premiere Pro does have an FCP XML import feature, but it rarely works perfectly, so even if I did manage to find all the media, I'd have to spend hours correcting the timeline. Essentially more work than it is worth.
BUT, I accomplished exactly what I wanted to do with Handbrake. Does it look bad? Yes, but most people will be watching it on their 4" phone screens anyway.
Regardless, I may have found a bug that should probably be corrected... I'll submit a bug report on the pre-release forums if 6.0.2 doesn't fix it.
