Move "SyncServices" and "MobileSync" folders

Hi,
My previous question regarding relocation itunes data worked flawlessly, however I now have a new issue.
When syncing, SyncServices and MobileSync folders in the user's application data\Apple Computer folder are growing with data and are getting too big for their profiles (30MB limit).
I have done a post search if this issue has been solved, and all I've been finding are unanswered questions that have been archived cannot be replied to.
Can some shed some light of if it's possible to move the entire "Apple Computer" folder without screwing up sync settings and without itunes sync recreating the data back in the original location?

Apologies for reraising this issue being just over a month old now, but I'm still having issues regarding this.
Basically, our domain user profiles are set to a limit of 30MB. Soon it'll be globally increased to 50MB, which for some in the office who have iphones this is helpful, but for others like my company's CEO, every time he hooks up his to sync, it auto backs up his phone and said data quickly grows larger than 100MB.
I've read that the entire Application data (XP)/AppData (Vista) folders can be relocated, but then it's matter of changing the user shell in registry editor. The problem here is that once it's moved outside the user profile shell, it won't be backed up to our DC.
Is there anyone who can please shed any light regarding the physical movement of at least the MobileSync folder?

  • Steps to upgrade and move server and home folders to new box

    Hi All,
    Can anyone outline the steps I should take to move my 1200 users from a G4 PowerMac Server 10.4.11 to an Intel Mac 10.5.6 and move home folders to a new drive on the new box? Can it be as simple as using the migration tool and connecting up the firewire cable? And what about the fact that the IP will need to be the same?
    Many thanks for any hints,
    ...Tom

    Unfortunately, it is not as simple as using the Migration Assistant.
    Please refer to the following guide from Apple:
    http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/Upgradingand_Migrating_v10.5_2ndEd.pdf
    You are migrating from 10.4 to 10.5, so read that section carefully. There are still quirks in the 2nd edition of this guide, where it tells you to do extra stuff, but it won't hurt.
    If you have another IP address available, use that in combination with a temporary hostname until everything is setup. Afterwards, turn down the old server and use the changeip command on the new server.
    Schedule your migration to a long window of opportunity when the least amount of people are going to need it - like Friday evening (then take Monday off).

  • How to move Apps and or Folders between screens

    I have three pages of Apps but pages 2 & 3 have only a few. How do I move the Apps & Folders on page 2 & 3 to page two?

    I also talked to Apple Support. They told me to move a jiggling folder to the left edge. At first it didn't seem to work, but they said to hold it there. If you move it too far left, it will just bounce back. If you drag it to the left edge so half the folder is obscured and the other half is visible, and then HOLD it there for 3-4 seconds, it will move it to the next page. Good!

  • How do I use a usb portable drive to let me add or move files and create folders

    I have a 256 gb porable smart drive  USB and need to move some files to another USB 1 TB drive and create a folder on the 1 TB drive for the data off of the smaller one.  When I try to create a folder and using finder it has the new folder grayed out.  using Info it tells me that I only have permission to read the drives but they both worked fine on the windows Laptop.  I guess I need to learn more about Finder.

    I guess you're trying to create the folder on the 1TB drive.
    Question: Are you OK initializing that drive on your Mac?
    If so, you can use Disk Utility (in Applications > Utilities) to do so.

  • AppStore updates moves icons and removes folders

    Occasionally, when I update from AppStore, on my phone, the icons on my phone get completely rearranged and all of the folders are removed.
    Obviously this is a bug and was wondering when apple would finally get around to fixing it? I have updated the iPhone OS many times in the vain hope that this problem has been alleviated. I have since given up on updating the iPhone OS since all it seems to do is add more bugs and features that I do not want (bring back v3.0 please!). I stopped updating (way back) at iOS 4.2.1 (adding the Game Centre was the last straw!)
    Does anyone know for sure, if this bug has been fixed and eliminated. My phone originally didn't used to get scrambled...
    Steps to reproduce:
    - Notice that AppStore badge says that I have apps to update
    - 'Update All'
    - leave my phone alone OR use an app...
    Result:
    When I exit the app I was using OR when I unlock my screen (depending upon what I was doing), the icons are moved from where I had moved them and all of my folders have been removed.
    Note:
    - This does NOT happen all the time, which makes it obviously very frustrating.
    Truly, the more this happens, the more I am inclined to walk away from this buggy p.o.s phone.
    Any help appreciated,
    Craig.
    PS: I rarely use iTunes, nor have I ever jailbroken my phone.

    you could try creating new user account, log in as a new user and see what happens.
    if looks ok under new user, could be some corrupted preference file.

    Use the Organizer backup & restore method, starting the restore from the TLY file. Probably best to use a custom location as the XP file structure will be different. See this link for further help:

    To open photos from Photos in Preview use the Media Browser. You do not need to have Photos open to use the photos inPreview.
    In Preview use the command "Flle > Open".
    The File Chooser dialog will open. Switch the file chooser to columns view and scroll down, until you see the Media section.
    Click the Photos view.
    Select the Photos app and click the disclosure triangle.

  • How do i move some of the folders in iphoto library ( to an external HDD) without actually having to move the whole library and without affecting the albums i have already created in iPhoto.????

    I have been storing my photos separately in folder and importing it in iphoto without actually copying them. Now to free some space in my hdd i want to move some of those folders to an external hdd. How do i do that without affecting my iphoto albums. ????

    Well, strictly speaking, you can do this.Two ways. One is tricky:
    How are you at editing SQL databases?
    This user found a way:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3216539?tstart=30
    But tread very carefully - get it wrong and you'll hose everything. Make a back up first.
    The other is expensive:
    Purchase Aperture, and if you have the latest versions of both these apps, then you can open the Library with Aperture, and use the relocate Masters command.
    Or, in the end, make a managed Library. A Referenced Library is more work for zero gain.

  • My laptop was stolen and i have a new one, is there any way to move all the picture folders to the new computer and not lose them?

    My laptop was stolen and i have a new one, is there any way to move all the picture folders to the new computer and not lose them? They stole my external harddrive too so unfortunately if i lose these, i have no way to get them back?

    What randers4 said. HOWEVER, if the photos were taken with a higher resolution camera than the iPhone what you recover will not be as high a resolution as the originals.

  • Folders moves up and down when selected

    Hi! I always used Mac Computers at work with no problems. I bought an iMac and when I open a folder and select a sub-folder or other documents (as jpg or doc) - without open them, just a selection - they have little movements up and down, right and left... I suppose it could be an arrangement of the font, anybody have this problem too? Some tips to fix it?
    Thanks

    Apologies for the delay. Did restart in safe and still doing it. Each click of the mouse wheel sends it about five lines worth of text. Doesn't matter which way you roll the wheel either. It goes into the opposite direction each click. I'm thinking it has something to do with the config stuff but I'm lost in there.

  • What is the best way to move files to different folders in a plug-in?

    I am writing a plug-in that needs to move files on the hard drive.  I am using LrFileUtils.move(from, to) and everything is fine except that the catalog is not updated when the file is moved.  After the plug-in runs I can use Library > Synchronize Folder to get the catalog back in sync with the new locations of the photos on the drive, but this manual step is less than ideal. 
    I am unable to find a way to move the files within the plug in that also updates the catalog (like dragging photos to a new location within the LR Navigator pane).  Lacking an API for this, I looked for a way to programmatic execute the Synchronize Folder menu item, but was not able to find this either..
    Can anyone recommend a better way to move photos to different folders within a plug-in that also updates the catalog?

    Hi Andy,
    There are 3 main file formats that you can consider writing your data out to in LabVIEW:
    ASCII
    Binary
    Datalog
    ASCII
    ASCII files are useful because every operating system and almost every application can read/write ASCII format files. Use ASCII files when:
    Other users or applications will need to access the data file.
    You will not need to perform random access file I/O
    File I/O speed is not crucial
    Disk space is not crucial
    Examples within LabVIEW Example Finder: Fundamentals >> File Input and Output >> Write to Text File.vi and Read from Text File.vi
    Binary
    Binary byte stream files are more specific to data storage and retrieval. Use b
    inary files when:
    File I/O will remain in LabVIEW only -- no other applications will be needing to write/read that file. There is no standard formatting for binary files and thus other applications or operating systems may be unable to read the file.
    Files are smaller than ASCII files
    Easier and faster random access to data
    Examples within LabVIEW Example Finder: Fundamentals >> File Input and Output >> Write Binary File.vi and Read Binary File.vi
    Datalog
    When to use datalog:
    If you need to record data with a mixture of types, it can be cumbersome to convert everything to ASCII or to keep track of the binary formatting.
    Datalog format is binary and internal to LabVIEW, so again only use this format if no other applications or operating systems will be needing to perform file I/O on the file.
    Examples within LabVIEW Example Finder: Fundamentals >> File Input and Output >> Write Datalog File
    Example.vi and Read Datalog File Example.vi
    Good luck!
