Mobile Account will not sync

I am having no end of problems syncing a mobile account.
Have set up a mobile account on Server (10.5.7) and specified in WGM to sync a ~/Documents/Company folder where we'll create all our company documents. I went to client that was bound to server OD and tried to log onto the mobile account, but couldn't until I logged in with this mobile account on the server .. and then could only log onto the server after I created a home directory. But after mobile user account logged into server, I could then log into client and it shows as a "mobile" account.
I put a few documents in the ~/Documents/Company folder and I expect on log off it would check the network home directory folder (there is ~/Documents/Company folder there too) and copy files to it. So I'd have a backup of these files.
Nothing seems to sync.. that is the server folder never gets updated as I expect. I have AFP service on and I restarted it, but no luck..
I have no idea where to begin troubleshooting this. I've read the Apple Server Management as well as any other docs I could find.

Mail account will not sync

Changed a few mail settings (incoming server/ smtp server) and tried to sync the new account to the iPhone. The account would show up under mail accounts in settings, but the mail app would simply bring me to the welcome screen (yahoo mail, etc) and wouldn't use the account, even though it was set up as the main one. I went in and deleted the account out of the iphone prefs, and now it will not sync over. Seems this is a permanent deletion? It is checked and should sync but no accounts are pushed over. I manually put it in and it works fine, but I would rather sync with the account. Is there a plist to trash or something of the like? I could do a restore but don't know if that would help any as this seems a preferences issue...

Yeah, did that but shouldn't have to.
Actually discovered if that I renamed the account description in Mail.app that it would then sync over. Odd.

Google Apps account will not sync

I have a domain set up with Google Apps, and I sync (through BIS) several email addresses within the domain. All the accounts apart from one sync correctly.
The only differences between the account that fails and the others are that the failing account is the domain administrator and has a large number of emails. All the accounts have 2 step authentication on and a backdoor password for the Blackberry.
Whenever I add the account in (either through Vodafones Blackberry BIS website OR through the phone email settings) everything works and the password is accepted as valid but five minutes later I get an "Action Required. Update Settings for..." email saying I have to validate the account (validation also works fine but then 5 minutes later I get another "Action Required" message).
Has anyone had similar problems and managed to work around this issue? Does anyone know why this could be happening?
The failing email account limits the number of emails per folder to 1,000 and I have tried turning POP/IMAP on and off (though they seem to reset themselves).
Thank you for any help you can offer!

Mail accounts will not sync

When I sync my iPhone to my mac, all is synced, but my .mac mail account. Status message reads syncing mail accounts with iphone, but nothing happens. This will stay like that forever. I checked Replace information under Advanced Option, but no help. So if I have to deselect Mai Account under Info to get a successful sync. iTunes 7.6.2 . Wireless mail, or Edge work OK. Is this an iTunes 7.6.2 problem or any other idea?
TIA

Resetet account on myMac, then all was OK.

Hi,
I'm having problems with my itunes syncing with my devices. I tried it with my old iphone 4 and now my iphone 5S.
When I plug the phone in, the computer recognises it as it starts to charge, but it doesn't get picked up by itunes.
I've tried repairing my itunes account, and deleting and reinstalling it.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Laura

Corporate Exchange Account will not sync with WiFi, but will on 3G

I have a corporate Exchange account that I have tried to setup on my 3GS on iOS 4. Using WiFi, it won't connect but it does on 3G. It all worked fine on my 3.1.2 on the same WiFi here at home.
Looking for any helpful ideas.
Thanks

Yes as as far as I can tell. Is there a way to verify this? Thanks for your help

New Macbook iCal will not sync to MobileMe

I bought a new macbook air and when i turn on syncing, my mobileme account will not sync the calendar saying mobile me needs to be fixed...the dialog box says:
"You need to replace your calendar information on MobileMe." If this computer has the most current information, click replace. If the most current information is on another computer, click Fix Later and replace your information from that computer...
Thanks for any ideas...

Sounds like exactly the same problem I have. Have Black MacBook and iPhone 3Gs synced to MobileMe and everything works. I set up a White MacBook (both MacBooks are 10.5.8) with new HD, formatted, new install of Leopard, new application installs, ran software update until all are current, then ran Repair Permissions.
Then turned on MobileMe sync. Safari bookmarks, Mail, Contacts, etc all sync fine and near real time for changes. iCal on computer is completely blank--didn't even update the 4 named calendars. I reset iSync history and tried replacing data on computer with MobileMe content. Nothing. Then reset iSync history again and tried merging all data. This time it said there was over 3,000 calendar events to add. Sounded good. But nothing happened.
Looks like I can create a new event in iCal and it syncs to MobileMe, then delete in MM and it updates on MacBook. But zero existing events in MM show in iCal on MacBook, even when I edit one and resave it.
Update: I sent a message to Apple at www.apple.com/feedback.

I have 2 itunes accounts. I can no longer use my first one for purchases so I had to start a new one and it will not sync from my new one without deleting everything on my same ipod from my previous account. How do I sync between both accounts?

I setup a separate itunes account for my iphone. I put my ipod music onto it. The music will not sync to my iphone. It tells that all info will be lost if I do it. HELP! The music is showing in the library.

you can connect the iPhone to your mac and import those iPhone photos and videos to iPhoto assuming you have iPhoto. You can create a folder and export all those photos to the Finder. Keep safe somewhere. Also keep the iPhoto library for safe keeping. When you restore your iPhone you can sync all those photos back to the iPhone. so you will lose nothing. Just remember when you export from iPhoto select jpeg for photos and original for videos taken with the iPhone.

Itunes says that 5 computers are already authorized to be used with my account when trying to play music that will not sync to my Ipod, but when I go to deathorize all in the store, it says only one is authorized. If I deathorize in the store and Itunes

10 GB of the 30 GB of music on my computer will not sync to my Ipod. This started after I got a new PC w/ windows 7 on it. All of the music, that will not sync, is music I bought and paid for through Itunes. When I go to the Itunes store it says I have only 1 computer authorized (the one I am on). When I try to play the music that is not getting synced, it says that 5 computers are already authorized. I have tried deathorizing the computers from Itunes and Itunes store. I have also tried deauthorizing the account. I am getting the same result. I have tried DRM stripping software but all seem to need Itunes or WMP to play the music in order to be re recorded without the DRM. In my mind there must be some simple way to really get the computers deauthorized from my account and be able to play the music that I paid apple for. Does anyone have any suggestions or is this common for apple,s products to do?

In order to get those to work you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard, preferably the full 10.6.8 combo updater.

Our original iTunes account is on a computer with Windows Xp. My iPad will not sync to that computer. Is ther any way I can access that iTunes library of music on my iPad2?

My original iTunes account is on a computer operating a Windows Xp system. My iPad2 cannot access that music library. Is there any way the iTunes app on my iPad can access my iTunes music library without using that computer? I have tried downloading the iTunes 10.6 to the computer, but it won't complete the download.

You say your phone will not sync but then you say, "when it does sync."
Does it sync or not? Did you remember to select music to sync onto your phone before clicking on Apply or Sync?
You do have to have iTunes on your computer in order to sync your phone. And your music must be in iTunes.

Mobile account managed preferences sync rules not applied

Hello everyone!
I am testing out mobile accounts and home sync on a few of the machines I have. My goal is too use mobile accounts as a way to backup small documents. I have many preference and Home sync rules applied to a group. All the machines I have added to this group seem to recognize these rules, but one machine does not. It is syncing folders and file types that I have excluded. I have checked the users managed preferences file and it appears to be correct, yet when I start a sync it does not appear to follow it's own managed preferences.
One thing I should add is that these machines have been using plain old local accounts and I have been migrating them to mobile accounts using this method:
http://www.macenterprise.org/articles/migratingalocalusertoanetworkuser
This method seems to work great except for the fact that the users preferences like the dock don't appear to be carried over.

Did you ever solve this? I have just started testing this in our office as well. It appears I have a machine that does not appear to obey the rules ether. I am also migrating local accounts to mobile accounts.

Restart your computer. Run iTunes and check for updates. If there is a later version of iTunes available, download and install it. Then try again. If you still cannot see your iPad listed in iTunes make a list of all the things you have tried so that we can see exactly what steps you have taken.
