PHD Refuses to Sync

We have one client machine that is refusing to sync. It has been working fine for weeks, then it just stopped working. No config changes on either the client/server.
Tried
rm -fr ~/Library/FileSync/FileSyncAgentkeydir
on both local and network home, no luck.
Tried
rm -fr ~/Library/FileSync/
on both local and network home, and still no luck.
Log still reads:
1:: 195 PHD:-SSHRemotePrepareForSync handleStderrLine:: SSH: Connection refused
1:: 195 PHD:Failed to connect to host for remote peer 'network' because the service is not enabled on the server
Any ideas?

For future reference I was having this same problem. I found that I had restricted access to SSH to only a select few users. Once I enabled it for the mobile account users it fixed the problem.

  • IPod Classic refuses to sync Audiobooks

    My iPod and iTunes now refuse to sync Audiobooks. Problem occurred when I bought a new book on iTunes. Refused to sync it. As I've experimented I've discovered that it refuses to sync any of my audiobook library except 1 book.
    So far, I've tried:
    1)Authorizing the computer by highlighting the books and going to Store->Authorize
    2) Playing the books in iTunes and then syncing
    3) Restoring the iPod and re-downloading everything
    4) Telling it to sync all Music from the Music tab
    5) Telling it to sync only specific playlist and includes audiobooks
    Any ideas? At this point I'll wave a rubber chicken over the darn thing if you think it will help.
    Thx.

    I have the iPod Classic also.  Last week for the first time in months, I purchased a song and also created a new Playlist.  I have yet to be able to get them onto my iPod.  After my purchase, I received an email from iTunes to see how my purchase went.  I let them know all of my problems.  They wrote back with all of these links for me to try and solve the problem -- from deactivating and reactivating my laptop, etc -- and none of those suggestions work.  This is ridiculous.  I remember "the good old days" when all I had to do was connect my iPod to my laptop and it synched automatically.  This company must get pleasure in frustrating its customers.

  • ITunes refuses to sync random videos from time to time

    I have the problem tih 1.2.1 and had it with 1.2
    When I plug my iPod in, iTunes sometimes refuses to sync some videos, that even are already on the ipod. They are within the specs and synced before. also played well.
    And the next time I would connect the iPod they would just sync as always.
    This is very strange as it randomly happens. I can't notice any system behind this behaviour. Happens to mpeg4 and h.264 videos. happens to musicvideos and to movies.
    Does anyone know how to fix it? Does iTunes somehow recalculate the average bitrate everytime and magically gets another result everytime?!
    I'm very confused here!!
    Thanks in advance!!

    The iPod is seeing the restored computer an a new iTunes library. To make the restored computer yu syncing computer:
    - Transfer iTunes purchases:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed in the following:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and maike a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup

  • Refuses to sync

    Ipod 5th gen Video, Windows XP, above system requirements.
    When I plug my Ipod into my compy (via usb) the computer recognizes it and iTunes as well. I can freely move music, video, podcasts into it. But if I set it to sync anything, it will display the
    "Syncing Ipod
    Do not disconnect."
    displaying in the iTunes display window (where it shows the currently playing song etc.). But it never stops syncing, it remains up there and I have left it plugged in to the computer for most of the day and it does not go away.
    So far I have only got one error a Ipod cannot be synced (-50). Which I followed the guide to fixing it and it has not returned yet the Ipod refuses to sync.
    I would like to avoid trading it in for a new one as this is my second Ipod (the other one went due to hardware failure).
    Any help would be appreciated, or if anyone knows of a 3rd party program that can transfer photos to an Ipod, it would be appreciated.
    Ipod 5th Gen Video Windows XP

    Try this, it may help. Use the iTunes Store menu to deauthorize your computer, then authorize it again.

  • IPod Refuses To Sync Video

    Hey, I have a 5th Generation iPod nano, roughly 8 gigs. I recently downloaded a video and iTunes is refusing to sync it. JUST that one video, I DO NOT need to convery the video, it's an .mp4. I can't figure out what's going on, it plays fine in iTunes, but when I try to sync it I get an error "Video cannot be synced because the iPod cannot play it" (paraphrased).
    Help?

    Sounds like you are trying to sync HD version of the TV Shows to your iPod, which is not supported. You'll need to download and sync the SD version instead.  See here for more information.
    iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
    To prevent HD versions from being downloaded in the future head to the iTunes Store, click the Purchased link, and then select TV Shows and remove the tick mark next to Download HD when available.  You should be able to download the SD version now from under this same page.

  • My macbook air refuses to sync with a lot of projectors,,, ..

    My macbook air refuses to sync with a lot of projectors,,,please help ..will updating it to mountain lion os solve the problem

    My wife has a MacBook Air that is currently running Lion. However, it's original 80 Gig 4800 rpm hard drive was replaced with a SSD from OWC. It's performance with Lion is acceptable.
    If your MacBook Air had the optional SSD, you may also find that the Lion performance will be acceptable.
    You should make an external hard drive backup before uprading. You could also do a trial install of Lion on the external beforehand.
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/Air-Retina/Apple-MacBook-Air-2008-Drive-I nternal
    It is true that older software written for the PowerPC platform will not run in Lion, as Rosetta is not available. However, there are increasingly newer versions of software that won't run in Snow Leopard. See: http://roaringapps.com/apps?index=a

  • Nano refuses to sync

    I have a fourth generation iPod nano.  I went to go sync it today, and iTunes prompted me to restore it, which I did.  However, after I restored it, it is now refusing to sync.  I tried unplugging it, and plugging it back in, but it didn't work.  It says it's synced but none of my songs have been transferred.  Is there a quick fix for this? 

    There may be a way to fix it, I've been helping someone else who had a similar problem. When you go to sync it go up to the menu bar at the top of the screen and go to edit. You should see an option that says devices, right click on it and select transfer purchases. If this doesn't work let me know, there are all kinds of different things that could be wrong, but this is the most common.

  • IPhone 4 refuses to sync to iTunes

    I updated my iPhone 4 to the new iOS5 software today (Oct 12th, 2011) and all the new apps run perfectly. However I have two problems now;
    1. A good chunk of my album artwork did not sync onto my iPhone. I'm not missing any music, so I might have to manually fix this since I manually manage my music. (I have 593 songs but only 430 on my iTunes since I lost my library once and have to manually manage to avoid losing all the music on my phone).
    2. My iPhone now refuses to sync to iTunes! This is the bigger problem of the two. A pop up appears that says 'The iPhone "..." could not be synced because the sync session failed to start'.
    My iTunes version is the latest version available, 10.5, which became available a day or two ago. My computer is an Hp that runs on windows vista. Please help!!

    Just made one very simple move without having to restore iPhone or reinstall iTunes..
    1st step:http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 *Read 'in my case' in here first before following this link*
    Follow that link to restart (or if necessary) reinstall your Apple mobile device support.
    In my case, Leave iPhone connected all the way. I first exit iTunes. Then i stopped the Apple Mobile device support (by following a part on that link above in step 1) which Effectively made my iPhone undetectable on itunes but discoverable by windows as a 'camera device'. Then while device is still connected, i started the Apple mobile dev support again. Now i open itunes and there my iPhone re-appears.
    2nd step: After your iphone re-appears on iTunes, press Sync and all is well...
    P.S, Mine is iPhone 4 running on iOS 5, iTunes 10.5, Windows 7..

  • ITunes refusing to sync more than one podcast

    I'm having a bit of trouble syncing desired podcasts to my new Nano. I'm using manual sync, and if I attempt to add more than one different podcast by dragging, as suggested by iTunes help, the program is nonresponsive and refuses to sync. It's necessary for me to use manual sync, as I need to pick and choose the exact episodes I want. I've found nothing anywhere in help referring to this, anything anyone has to offer would be appreciated.
    Will

    i have exactly the same problem with my iphone 4. if i create a new ringtone, it will synch temporarily. It gives me enough time to fool me into thinking i've managed to fix it and even allows me to assign the new tones to contacts. I can even synch several times without issue. But give it 24hours and good ole marimba is the default, and all but one ringtone remain.
    If it makes any difference, these ringtones are self created using a CD i own and have ripped into itunes, then converted using the itunes method (resize to less than 30s, export to aac, then change the postfix to .m4r and reload).
    Also worth noting is that they show up and can be played in the itunes>library>ringtones.
    Any help would be oh so appreciated (before i pull any more hair out).

  • Contacts deleting by themselves and iPhone needs a full backup restore after refusing to sync with iTunes. - Pls Help!

    I have had my new iPhone 5s since the middle of December 2013 and I really enjoy it, however, I'm finding the iOS a little unstable.
    I backup often - whether to iCloud or to my iMac at my office or to my Acer Windows 7 based Notebook at home, and I have had to do a full backup restore of my phone software after it suddenly refused to sync with iTunes. The only option open to me was "Restore iPhone" which also is a nuisance and takes a little while if you have a lot of content on your phone. I've had to do this 3 times now and it's getting on my nerves!
    Also, as I type this, my contacts are suddenly removing themselves from my phone book. I discovered this as I was going through my Whatsapp messages when I noticed a few numbers in my recent chats that didn't have names or contact pictures. When I scrolled to the top of the message, I noticed that the "add contact" detail was suddenly available. I immediately checked my phone book and noticed that those contacts are no longer available. A lot of my numbers are suddenly showing up like this within the last hour and I haven't changed any settings at all. I back up to my notebook and iCloud once a week. This problem is a first for me  as well.
    I must point out that I never had these issues with my iPhone 3GS which was only becoming cumbersome due to its outdated OS and because of its processing speed.
    Will I need to wait for the next IOS Update to solve this problem, or will I have to find an alternative solution?
    Any advice you have to offer would be most welcome.

    Simplify your question,will you? I have trouble in reading such a long English article.

  • IPad 2 repeatedly refusing to sync photos

    My iPad 2, which has 1.32Gb of free space left, has suddenly started refusing to sync the relatively modest selection of photos I have until recently been sync'ing over without any problems, claiming that there is insufficient space available. If I switch off podcast or movie sync'ing and free up space, the photos sync over again, but as soon as I re-add the podcasts or movies, I get the same error - even the photos are already on the device and I haven't added any new ones!! I have tried restoring my iPad from backup but this has made no difference. This happens every single time now and it is driving me mad. The key point being that this error did not occur before.
    What's going on? Is it some kind of file corruption?

    I occasionally have the same problem, but my approach is to cull those other sections (and the photos), especially the podcasts which may be downloading several chapters that I have not viewed/heard and so filling up much space quite easily.  There is a limited space on an iPhone or iPad and we need to manage it ourselves.  If there is not enough room for all the photos selected, none are transferred.
    The key point being that this error did not occur before.  Before what?
    And how much capacity does the iPad have: 32G, 64G?

  • Particular Podcast Refuses to Sync

    So here is the situation.
    I listen to podcasts from 6 different providers.
    One of these is NPR's On Point podcast.
    I use the Podcast app from Apple on my iPhone which is running on 7.0.4
    When I assemble a playlist on my iMac from the above sources and then sync the iPhone - all the podcasts in the playlist show up in the iPhone except for the On Point podcast.
    Why would this particular podcast not sync to the iPhone?
    Any insight would be appreciated.
    Cheers
    John

    So just to update.
    I still have this issue plaguing me.
    Some On Point podcasts are synced from the iMac to the iPhone some are not.
    There are other podcasts that also refuse to sync.
    Is there a podcast app out there where I could do my Playlists on the iMac as I do now and then sync to the phone?
    Apples' podcast app stinks.

  • HELP!!!! ipod refuses to sync!!!

    I NEED HELP ok so my iPod Classic (160 gb) started acting up at around 9,000 songs. the album artwork get flipped, scrambled and deleted. (its fine in iTunes) ok thats sad but now a few month later my library has grown to 11,000. mainly friends contributed to it... and no viruses btw. anyway, iTunes REFUSES to sync my iPod. every single time i get an error code. the last time iTunes did sync some music, and videos but when it came time to unplug the iPod this is what happens: 1. the iPod displays the 'ok to disconnect' screen. once the progress bar gets to the end, it freaks. it shows this picture of a USB cord (i think) and reboots. it might have just been from the 'ok to disconnect' page while the screen is loosing power but idk. i have done the 5r's, reinstalled iTunes 3 times, and have no more ideas. please help, i am out of warrantee (?) and have no money to buy a new ipod. Can someone please help me? Thanks for reading. THANK YOU!

    OK, if restoring isn't cutting it then let's start by checking the health of the drive...
    *Check your iPod with Diagnostics Mode*
    It's possible that your iPod's hard drive has started to fail. Take your iPod and place your right thumb on the centre SELECT button and your left on the top MENU button. Press down both thumbs for about 6 seconds until your iPod reboots. Immediately move your left thumb around to the rewind button |<< on the left and hold this down together with SELECT for a further 6 seconds. Your iPod should now switch into Diagnostic Boot mode. Press MENU for *Manual Test*, then select *IO > HardDrive > HDSMARTData* to reveal your stats. For comparison here are mine for my 2 year old 6th Generation Classic:
    Retracts: 889
    Reallocs: 12
    Pending Sectors: 0
    PowerOn Hours: 2202
    Start/Stops: 894
    Temp: Current 24c
    Temp: Min 10c
    Temp: Max 50c
    Take a note of your results. When finished press *SELECT & MENU* for 6 seconds to reset the iPod again.
    With modern disc drives sectors are no longer marked bad by a disc scan, if the SMART firmware detects a sector it has trouble accessing it will attempt to invisibly reallocate it to a spare area of the disc.
    Note that I've only 12 remapped sectors and none pending. To help explain what the numbers mean here is an extract from the Wikipedia S.M.A.R.T. article:
    *Reallocated Sectors Count*
    Count of reallocated sectors. When the hard drive finds a read/write/verification error, it marks this sector as "reallocated" and transfers data to a special reserved area (spare area). This process is also known as remapping, and "reallocated" sectors are called remaps. This is why, on modern hard disks, "bad blocks" cannot be found while testing the surface – all bad blocks are hidden in reallocated sectors. However, as the number of reallocated sectors increases, the read/write speed tends to decrease. The raw value normally represents a count of the number of bad sectors that have been found and remapped. Thus, the higher the attribute value, the more sectors the drive has had to reallocate.
    *Pending sector count*
    Number of "unstable" sectors (waiting to be remapped, because of read errors). If an unstable sector is subsequently written or read successfully, this value is decreased and the sector is not remapped. Read errors on a sector will not remap the sector (since it might be readable later); instead, the drive firmware remembers that the sector needs to be remapped, and remaps it the next time it's written.
    Large numbers of Reallocs or Pending Sectors would suggest your drive is failing and that you may need to repair or replace your iPod. Check your stats after another attempt to update your iPod. If the numbers increase that again points to hard drive failure. While it won't be good news at least you'll know it isn't some random software problem and you can decide what to do next.
    If the drive checks out OK then perhaps something else is interfering with communications between iTunes and the iPod. A few things to try out...
    - Change the the drive letter assigned to the iPod on connection.
    - Exclude the iPod's drive & the iTunes source folder from anti-virus scanning.
    - Check the health of the drive holding the media.
    - Try a different cable.
    - Try a different computer.
