Mobile Sync stopped working...a fix I think!

Hi folks. My head has many briuses from banning it on the desk but I may have a fix that will restore some of the calendar probs we have had with update 9.1.79
I have a Ph.D (poke and hope diploma) in computing, but I made this work.
I have got my calendar to re-sync and lost the message of "Mobile Sync has stopped working" by doing the following.
I called support and they gave me a link to remove ALL contents that i-tunes installs and there are many including Bonjour etc..
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Do exactrly as it says and remove everything. I had to restert my PC in safe mode (press F8 at start up) to get at a couple of files that needed the administrators permission to delete.
I then restarted and had to delete the file itunes library.itl (I actually dragged it to my desk top from the directory C:/my name/Music/itunes
This was because I installed the earlier version of itunes (9.0.1) and it could not read this file so i removed it.
I then downloaded itunes version 9.0.1 and installed it.
Started up itunes and did a sync and it worked!!!
I hope this works for some one else. If so, go into settings and dissable Get automatic updates until Uncle Mac fixes the bug!!
Good luck,
J.

I recommend (and have tested) a slightly different solution then the one proposed here (and in numerous other threads) for the iTunes 9.1 "sync no longer works" for calendar, bookmarks and contacts.
There are several threads which recommend different solutions:
1) Downgrading to iTunes 9.0 --> fine, but I want to keep up-to-date with recent iTunes versions, and I do not want to have to find an old iTunes library to get iTunes running nor create a new library from scratch.
2) Extracting the "Mobile Device Support" (MDS) from iTunes 9.0 installation, uninstalling MDS (installed with iTunes 9.1) and installating MDS from iTunes 9.0. --> iTunes 9.1 will not accept this and refuses to use this version of MDS
3) Changing the System Environment variable PATH --> this did not solve the sync problem for me (error messages stop occurring, but sync does not start working).
4) Copying all DLLs from Apple Application Support (under Common Files) to Mobile Device Support --> this made things much worse for me with tons of error messages.
5) Deleting (renaming) DLLs from System32 (however it is called on your version of Windows) and putting in place new ones --> risky; I don't like unnecessarily changing DLLs under Windows.
My solution (no promises that this will work on all versions of Windows, but ti worked for me) is to get the "correct" version of the DLLs which are causing the sync to fail.
I will not post those here as they are referenced in several other threads (e.g. http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2394471), but there is a link below.
* Here is where my recommendation differs from others. *
Do not update the DLLs under Windows System32 -- update the bad versions installed under Apple Mobile Device Support (on WinXP default location is: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support).
1) I suggest renaming the bad (non-working DLLs) so that you can rollback in case of problems, e.g.:
ssleay32.dllcould_bebad
libeay32.dllcould_bebad
2) Save the DLLs which are at the depositfiles link (http://depositfiles.com/files/92eig2pii) into your Apple MDS directory.
WHY?
In this way, you have not potentially corrupted other programs which make use of these DLLs (the versions under Windows system32), you have only corrected the versions used by Apple Mobile Device Support.
(And it is easy to undo this change if it does not work for you.)
Good luck!
I've tried a number of other solutions, and two previous ones (running diagnostics and copying the depositfiles DLLs to system32) worked for a one-time sync only. When I tried to resync following a successful sync, the calendar failed to update changes made on either side.
This solution (dropping the depositfiles DLLs to the common folder:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
worked with repeat attempts.
(I too think that this getting ridiculous for Apple to say nothing about this problem. I mean, it's not like we're complaining about some hardly-used feature, or an uncommon application: it's Outlook calendar sync!)

Mobile data stops working on iphone 5

This always happens on my phone, the mobile data stops working after a while and it can only be fixed by restarting the phone. Is anyone else having this problem?

Yes, I have this problem, but I am getting nowhere with either Apple or AT&T technical support. I had a 4s for two years that worked fine. Updated to the 5 and use the same applications and am in the same location, but have to restart my phone 3-5 times a day. Tried all the recommended solutions, up to replacing SIM and the phone, but nothing has resolved the issue.

HT5139 my safari stopped worked so deleted it thinking i would be able to re-download...now cant seem to download it

my safari stopped worked so deleted it thinking i would be able to redownload...
how do i download it ?

As you've discovered, deleting random hunks of an operating system to fix problems doesn't usually work all that well. First, get Time Machine or some other backup tool going, as that'll be your recovery path should there be an error during the recovery. In the unlikely event something (else) goes wrong with the recovery here (whether some other corruption or a failed reinstall or otherwise), you don't want to lose your data.
In addition to the paths Strontium90 mentions, you can sometimes recovery Safari from an external copy of the same version of OS X; from another Mac running an identical version of OS X, or from a copy of Safari stored elsewhere. One of those other copies of Safari can be stored in the recovery partition, if your version of OS X is new enough to boot into that. (That's basically the reinstall path.)

Creative cloud sync - Stops working until update.

I am about the closest thing to an IT administrator we have at a small newspaper that has recently transitioned to Creative Cloud for our production and file sync. While much of our experience has been good we have had some weird problems that make it fairly hard to rely on the file syncing feature of CC. Primarily, recently adobe issued an update to Creative Cloud (Which they do a lot!) that required us to update before it would work again. The notification for this update came in as an icon blip in the menu bar on our mac systems and the system tray (which hides most icons) on the Windows system. As a result only one of our artist updated right away, and the rest ignored/didn't see it. The problem was file syncing stopped working until the clients updated. The end result was that people's artwork wasn't syncing and about a whole days worth of work was delayed until someone figured out that things were breaking and alerted me. So my complaint/suggestion is this:
If you issue an update:
Allow the old versions to keep working until the update is installed.
If the update is important enough to require updating, notify at least the CC Team Administrators in an obvious way (email is a great way, since you already don't mind emailing us about other stuff)
Also why you are at it if you could ad a "Sync Now" button that would be appreciated.
It is a little frustrating to be chewed out over something that you were not aware of over the weekend. Especially since CC is marketed as the backbone of the Adobe system. I know that many of our artist should have paid attention to the icons, but their job is to design their work and get on with it not to be system administrators. They can't all be verifying updates and checking if CC is working all the time. Especially since a traditional server set up wouldn't have this issue (though the cost of setting it up is obnoxious).
To the community: Have any of you experienced and issue like this before? If so how is the best way to solve this issue in the future. Do I just need to insist that everyone always checks for updates? The problem is compounded by the fact that I am part-time/freelance and thus can't babysit many of our artist.

You have to provide system info and other details like what program(s) you actually mean. There are no technical reasons that should affect the apps just by disconnecting your computer...

My itunes sync stopped working when I got the new iphone. How to fix it?

My Iphone 4 worked great. It synced with my itunes perfectly. I;d buy a song on my computer and moments later it would also show up on my iphone. I thought I configured all the boxes correctly when I got the new iphone but now the wifi sync feature seems to have stopped working. I went back and checked and it appears all the right boxes are checked but still no sync. When I go to wifi sync in settings it says it has to be plugged in, locked and the home comuter available. I tried that and it still wont wifi sync. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Help please.

Stopped working as in it's totally unresponsive?
Try restarting. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPad. To turn iPad back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.

Mobile Me stopped working on my iPad last night..in fact the settings disappeared.

Last night Mobile Me on my iPad 2 stopped working. I went into settings to investigate and noticed that I no longer had slider options for mail, calendar, contact. The only slider option was for find my device. Curious, I opened my iPad first gen and was poking into the mobile me settings. Right before my eyes the settings for mail, calendar, contacts disappeared.
I assumed this was something to do with the WWDC and iCloud, but now I am not sure.
Anyone else suddenly lost the ability to use Mobile Me with iPads?

Yes I also had problems last night establishing a connection to MobileMe email server on iPad2 and kept dropping my Internet connection spuriously. Similar problems continued tonight and I realised that at one point I had lost my bookmarks in safari, which normally sync wirelessly using MobileMe service. Currently the service appears to be working ok but am keeping a watch on it.

ITunes sync stopped working with my iPhone 5 and Outlook on Windows 7. Error states in part "because the sync server failed to sync the iphone"

I have an iPhone 5 running iOS 7.1.2. I am using iTunes version 11.2.2.3 on Windows 7.

When syncing, stops working?

I just added a certain file to a library, and I even tried to delete it. It just says it stops working once it starts to sync. There's no more information I think I need to give, because it gives me no information like a certain error.
Thank you for the help!

yes shirley i did, it turned out that one of my photos was a snapshot of what was on my iphone at the time and it had been named xxxxx.png, i think the fact it was .png was the reason, anyway i deleted it from phone and computer and i,ve had no problem since.

Itunes sync stopped working a while back

Itunes Sync with my iphone stopped working properly ever since I upgraded to my IPHONE5... way back. At the time I had to do the steps below in order to get all my music to sync over.
Backup and then Restore to factory settings
restore my phone from the backup
This process takes forever in my case because I have many apps and about 2000 songs
There had to be a less painful method. Seems the problem is rooted in the fact that Itunes thinks there are songs on the Iphone when they actually are not.
The next time I had to go through this I came up with the method below... a little more involved but at least it took about 2hours compared to 8hours due to the time taken to reload my apps.
Uncheck the sync music in the Itunes summary. (also uncheck the sync books, and sync photos - upload your photos to the cloud first)
Wait for the audio files stored in the summary bar to go down to zero. If it doesn't quite make it and if you still have songs on the phone delete manually.
Start Itunes match on my phone (in case the number of songs to manually delete is overwhelming)
reboot my phone
Stop Itunes match on the phone
Reboot my phone (all this in an effort to make sure ITUNES realizes there are no songs left on my phone)
If there are any songs, books or movies on my phone the delete manually shouldn't be too many at this point.. in my case less than 100 songs.
Delete audio books, movies, and photos
Reboot my mac/pc
Reboot my phone (one more time to make sure)
At this point your phone should be clean
Itunes should agree and indicate in the summary bar that no songs, books, music videos, and photos are on the phone.
Uncheck automatically sync in the summary
Uncheck sync over wifi
Be sure itunes match on the phone is off
reboot the phone
reboot the mac/pc
start Itunes
plug your phone into the mac/pc
select sync with books (if any)
If that goes well, after your books are synced then...
Select sync music and music videos in the summary tab
this should go well....
sync your photos... I personally decided to leave them in the cloud
never sync your phone with your itunes again... lol.. otherwise you have to go through this whole process again.
now with my IPHONE 6plus... my itunes library just on it's own started gettiing messed up even though I just plugged the phone into my mac without syncing.
Soo.... reluctantly I will have to go through this process again.
By the way,... if it doesn't work... you're looking at the first method I described which involved the restore of the phone.
In either case... never auto or wifi sync your phone again with Itunes...Unless they someday decide to address this issue.

I don't know why it would not be there, so thescreenshot I inserted will probably not be of much use. However, this is what it looks like on my computer (see inserted image) .
As far as the location of the folder and file, the following is precisely where it is located:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
Just now, when looking for it on my computer, I initially made the mistake of not looking for or going to the "common files" folder. Do you have this folder and did you look in it if so?
This probably will be of no help to you, but I hope that it will.

Calendar sync stopped working: "Unable to process organizer data"

I'm trying to help a consulting client whose Blackberry Q10 stopped synchronizing calendar data 5 days ago. It looks like that's the only thing he synchronizes with his desktop. I've tried looking up answers, but I've found very little information about this problem, and the few suggestions I found have not worked.
Phone: Blackberry Q10
Model#: SQN100-2
Software Release: 10.1.0.4189
Blackberry Link Release: 1.2.1.31
Symptoms: After clicking on the Sync Contacts/Calendar button, Blackberry Link sits for a very long time on the "Syncing your contacts and calendar appointments. Do not disconnect your device." screen, with sporadic activity on the progress meter, before being returned to the Sync Contacts and Calendar Appointments screen. In the lower left, a warning message "Sync was unsuccessful" is displayed. When I click the Show Recent Activity link under that, a Recent Activity screen that repeats "Sync was unsuccessful" along with a second message, "Unable to process organizer data" appears.
Is there a way to resolve this short of restoring the phone to factory defaults? The calendar data on my client's phone has now gone 5 days without being synced, and he doesn't want to lose the latest changes.

HipsterZ10, I didn't mean to suggest that you aren't entitled to gripe, only that doing so in response to a post on a community support forum isn't particularly useful. (Do BlackBerry support teams even monitor this forum?)
You sound like someone who knows his way around BlackBerry very well, and I would love to do some brainstorming with you if you're so inclined. I have nowhere near as much BlackBerry experience as you have, but I have worked in many areas of computing support for over 25 years. I'd like to think that between the two of us - plus anyone else who can chime in with something constructive - we can come up with something that helps us all out,.
With that in mind:
You've tried uninstalling and reinstalling without success. Did you just uninstall and reinstall the latest version of BlackBerry Link, or did you try uninstalling the latest version and going back to one that used to work? (Or did you try upgrading because the previous version stopped working?)
Did you try any direct edits to the Registry to clean out any BlackBerry settings that the uninstall program might've left behind? Uninstallers are often not kept up to date as software developers make changes to software, so they often leave digital detritus in the Registry. This usually has no effect on anything else, but can prevent software that was uninstalled from working properly when it's reinstalled.
You also mention that you've tried a lot of settings changes. Would you please share with us the settings changes that you made?
I know from other companies' devices that updates to the Windows software is sometimes accompanied by firmware or programming changes on the device. Does anyone know if that's the case for BlackBerry Link updates? If it is, then simply uninstalling BlackBerry Link may not be enough.
Have you been unable to sync only the calendar, or your contacts as well? (I don't know what else BlackBerry Link can synchronize.) My client has only been trying to sync his calendar. If the problem is confined to calendar sync, is there maybe a cleanup procedure that needs to be run on the device or on the Windows side to clean up old appointments every now and then? I know of other products that will fail to sync their calendars if there's too much old data.
Finally, does BlackBerry Link just sync the BlackBerry device with itself, or does it sync it with Outlook? That wasn't clear to me the last time I was in my client's office; he uses Outlook 2003, but I wasn't certain if BlackBerry Link was connected with it in any way. Come to think of it, my client also uses Windows XP, which does not come with the .NET framework by default. Some commercial software depends on particular versions of the .NET framework, and I've seen situations in which Microsoft updates to the .NET framework breaks 3rd party software. Does BlackBerry require .NET, and, if so, does it try to install the version it needs? To sum these things up, we could be looking at lack of support for older versions of Windows, Outlook or the .NET Framework.
Those are some ideas; let's see if we can narrow down the list. I should be back at my client's office on Monday, but if anyone else has time to try any of this today, kindly post what you discover here.

Sync stopped working

Sync quit working several days ago. I upgraded to the latest Firefox (22), thinking that might fix it, but it didn't. There is a message at the bottom of the browser that says "Sync encountered an error while syncing. Unknown Error. Sync will automatically retry this action."
It's been that way for 4 days, now. I haven't changed anything in my settings, so what's going on?

And it still does not work, even though, yet again, the status page says sync is operating normally. Yeah, right! I tried the troubleshooting, plus completely un-synced and started over no less than 4 times but it still will not work. (She the screen shot I've attached that shows the page saying things are normal as well as the error message at the bottom.) Since my Chrome syncing is working just fine, I guess I'll make that my primary browser from now on, since no one has offered any solutions to this, or even said they are aware of any such problems going on.

After upgrade to iphone OS 4.0 (and then 4.1) correct sync stop working

After upgrade to iphone OS 4.0 (and then 4.1) synchronization of calendar, contacts, bookmarks of safari STOP working. For example I check checkbox "synchronize calendar" and press "apply". Then iTunes DELETE check in the checkbox ("synchronize calendar") and start synchronization of all other info but not calendar. The same situation with contacts, bookmarks, Mail.
How is this problem resolved? Thanks in advance.

It's OK--no worries! Mail accounts sync differently (I'm a MobileMe user) so knowing the mail account type is important.
First, repair your permissions. You can do this by opening the Disk Utility (Applications to Utilities to Disk Utility), selecting your hard drive and then clicking "Repair Permissions."
Than, rest the iPhone by holding down the "Home" and "Power" buttons through the home screen until the apple appears. Then let it come back to your home screen.
OK, second, I looked up the iOS 4 Manual. Double check your phone settings. Under the "Setting" button, select "Mail, Contacts and Calendars." Select the accounts on your phone and make sure the syncing for the items you want to sync is turned on.
I know you've done this, but try it step by step in case something was left out:
From the manual . . .
Set up iTunes syncing:
1 Connect iPhone to your computer, and open iTunes.
2 In iTunes, select iPhone in the sidebar.
3 Configure the sync settings in each of the settings panes.
See the following section for descriptions of the panes.
4 Click Apply in the lower-right corner of the screen.
By default, “Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected” is selected.
iPhone Settings Panes in iTunes
The following sections provide an overview of each of the iPhone settings panes.
For more information, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help.
Summary Pane
Select “Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected” to have iTunes open and sync iPhone automatically whenever you connect it to your computer. Deselect this option if you want to sync only by clicking the Sync button in iTunes. For more information, see “Automatic iTunes Syncing” on page 58.
Select “Sync only checked songs and videos” if you want iTunes to skip unchecked items in your iTunes library when syncing.
Select “Prefer standard definition videos” if you want iTunes to sync standard definition instead of high definition videos (iPhone 4 only).
Info Pane
The Info pane lets you configure the sync settings for your contacts, calendars, email accounts, and web browser.
Contacts
Sync contacts with applications such as Mac OS X Address Book, Yahoo! Address Book, and Google Contacts on a Mac, or with Yahoo! Address Book, Google Contacts, Windows Address Book (Outlook Express), Windows Contacts (Vista and Windows 7), or Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync contacts with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync contacts with one application at a time.)
If you sync with Yahoo! Address Book, you only need to click Configure to enter your new login information when you change your Yahoo! ID or password after you’ve set up syncing.
Calendars
Sync calendars from applications such as iCal on a Mac, or from Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync calendars with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync calendars with only one application at a time.)
Mail Accounts
Sync email account settings from Mail on a Mac, and from Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 or Outlook Express on a PC. Account settings are transferred only from your computer to iPhone. Changes you make to an email account on iPhone don’t affect the account on your computer.
Note: The password for your Yahoo! email account isn’t saved on your computer, so it can’t be synced and must be entered on iPhone. In Settings, choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” tap your Yahoo! account, and enter the password.
Web Browser
You can sync bookmarks on iPhone with Safari on a Mac, or with Safari or Microsoft Internet Explorer on a PC.
Notes
Sync notes in the Notes application on iPhone with notes in Mail on a Mac or with Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 on a PC.
Advanced
These options let you replace the information on iPhone with the information on your computer during the next sync.
When you plugged the iPhone into the new macbook (figuring you had the iPhone first and then got the macbook), you should have received a message saying that your iPhone was currently syncing to another itunes library and do you want to sync it to this one. Did you get that message and did you click "yes?"
Hang in there, you'll get it. My two gmail accounts are syncing OK. I don't use google calendar or sync contacts to those accounts.

Adobe Acrobat X Pro stopped working again but I think I've spotted something...

Hi Folks.
I am one of those users, Adobe Master Collection CS6, whose Acrobat X stopped working mysteriously a few days back. I followed the discussions on the forums here where others were experiencing it and took the advice on offer to delete cache.db and reenter my serial number. That worked a treat. Until right now, after only a few days of all being well my Acrobat is gone down again .
When I followed the said instructions above, I created a backup copy of my working cache.db file and it is 16Kb in size. Now, looking at my current cache.db file, it is 20Kb in size, so something has happened to it, it's grown in size by 4Kb and I'm wondering if whatever this problem is is related to this extra 4Kb of data which has been added to the file?
Two questions...
1. Is there some way for me to send this file to Adobe so they can take a look at it and see if they can figure out what's going on?
2. Is there a solution to this that works! I don't want to have to keep replacing my cache.db file every few days to keep Acrobat working .

The growth in file size is probably just a side effect of the encryption when it gets locked. You can use the Feature Request/Bug Report Form to report your issue, but there is no guarantees anyone will follow up. Anyway, since this is a frequent issue, I'm sure one of the next updates for AAM is already in the works and will fix it.

Adobe Reader Has Stopped Working Possible Fix

Hey, I just had a battle with the adobe program on a computer, it would go to open, then right away it would show up with the error message:
"Adobe Reader <version> Has Stopped Working" then it sends information and closes.
I fixed my issue by going into the Adobe Reader folder, finding the "Plug-Ins" folder, and there was a duplicate of every plug-in in there, so it was trying to load them. As soon as I deleted the duplicated plug-ins it opened fine.
I just thought I would share this incase anyone else was having problems with adobe, as a Re-install did not seem to fix the problem, If you are having the problem try what I mentioned above.

It was on a Dell laptop, running Windows Vista. But I'm sure it would work on any machine running any Windows, not sure about linux or MAC's, but if they do have duplicates of the plug-ins and it was crashing I will still suggest it as a fix

Mobile Sync stopped working...a fix I think!
