Problem with reset sync history

I am trying to troubleshoot a problem syncing with MobileMe on my MacPro workstation with Mac OS X 10.6.3 and everything current. When I go into iSync preferences and press the "reset sync history" button, it never seems to finish. Even if I reboot and then try to repeat it, the "reset sync history" button is grayed out, which suggests to me that it is still running. How can I fix this?

This just started working on its own.

  • Can anyone help me with reset sync history problem in iTunes?

    I'm trying to reset my iTune sync history.  I used to be able to do it isn iTunes Preferances, but that is no longer an option.  I understand that you have to go to Terminal now and type in the following:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/resetsync .pl full
    I tried that, but I got an response stating that there is no such folder.  What do I do now? 
    How do I reset my sync history?
    I'm using a MacBook Pro with Mavericks as the operating system. 
    Many thanks

    Hi Cristian, thanks for responding so speedily!
    On the homepage, click on the 'diagrammatic' thumbnail for example, then click on the 'volcano' thumbnail, when the volcano page appears, you should see the little magnifying glass plus rollover image under the main image to the right.   As I said, on these specific pages, in IE 7 the symbol jumps to the top left of the main image.
    For your info, I have seen this problem on my older XP pc, which runs IE 7.  All is fine on my newer Vista pc, which is using IE8 & Firefox.

  • Ical won't sync with iPhone. I can't reset sync history in Lion anymore?

    i'm pulling my hair out! my ical just won't sync with my iphone anymore. i wanted to reset sync history as suggested in some forums but lion doesn't have isync anymore.
    it is so frustrating as it is supposed to be easy to sync apple products!
    any ideas?
    thanks again

    Thanks John, you're a star! it's back to normal, it was hours last night resetting my iphone but no luck. I reset my sync services this morning and it works!
    Why have Apple made it so difficult to do this, why hide things away? I spent ages looking for my library the other day as that was hidden! Mad!
    Much appreciated John,

  • Problems with iCal syncing

    I had this problem with my original iPhone and I also ran into it this morning while using my new iPhone 3G.
    While syncing the iCal events to my phone, iTunes basically says it is syncing continuously. I actually went to bed one night with it saying it was 'syncing Calendar events' and when I woke up it was still doing the same thing.
    I don't know if it is because I have events in there, like birthdays or PayDays, that have it as a yearly or weekly cycle, and don't have an ending date or if there is something else causing the problem. I've tried changing the end dates to the end of this year, but it didn't help.
    So I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem, or had a solution to it. Any helpful feedback would be greatly appreciated.

    I have not experienced the same, but I suggest resetting the sync history on your Mac as a first step. This is done with iSync preferences with the iSync application in your Applications folder.
    After selecting reset sync history, restart your Mac and try again.

  • Reset Sync History

    I would like to change choice for syncing calender to "merge data." Current sync replace phone entries with computers.
    Resetting sync history does not cause ITunes to ask for sync choices of contacts and calendar as Apple documentation suggest.
    Any suggestions would be apprecited. Searched forums but could not find answer. Thanks.

    Roamingnome,
    I got the "choices" concept based upon information as follows from Apple documentation.
    "Reset Sync History
    If you find that some of your data syncs to your device but you see an unexpected number of changes or modifications, you may need to reset your sync history. This causes iTunes to prompt to Merge or Replace information on the device when you next attempt to sync your information. To reset your Sync History:
    Open iTunes.
    From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
    Click the Devices tab.
    Click the Reset Sync History button."
    If it merges by default, then perhaps I have a different problem. Still seeking advice. Thanks.

  • I cannot select sync for contacts. I had a previous issue which suggested I reset sync history now I can't select an email account or where to sync contacts.

    I cannot select sync for contacts. I had a previous issue which suggested I reset sync history and now I can't select an email account or where to sync contacts. I check the checkbox but no email accounts are present to select.  My iPhone4 has all the contacts & mail account and runs ok.
    Part of the solution to the previous problem was to delete (really I moved it) the contents of the backup folder.  Now I get this message "iTunes was unable to load data class infromation from Sync Services".  I moved the folders and files back and it did not help.

    An alternate email isn't a rescue email, and it isn't possible to add an actual rescue email without correctly answering two of the questions. If you're desperate enough, create a new Apple ID; you won't be able to transfer previous purchases or iTunes Store credit to it.

  • Problems with mobileme syncing ...

    Hi everyone. I'm having massive problems with mobileme sync with my iphone, my macbook and MacPC G5. Essentially I want the iphone contacts and calender data to overwrite anything on laptop and pc but I keep getting message that contacts couldn't be synced due to inconsistent data.  Despite me overriding it.  I'm not sure how I go about confirming that the computers data is valid and actually whether I want to because its the iphone data I want.  Then despite saying its synced calenders its not updating on my macbook or PC ... any suggestions gratefully received.  Its doing my head in!  Oh I'm on Leopard OS.

    Hi Chris, Thanks for the advice, I haven't tried that yet. Will do so and pray that it will work. This however doesn't solve the problem of appointments I'm putting on my iphone not updating on PC and laptop - they do however update on mobile me cloud!  Any advice greatly appreciated!

  • "Reset sync history" does not work

    I am trying to fix an issue where my iPhone no longer syncs to my outlook 2007. Many posts suggest resetting sync history in iTunes, but when I click on "reset sync history", absolutely nothing happens. Something is broken. All suggestions welcome.

    Does the password work at https://account.services.mozilla.com/ ?

  • Will i lose all music on iPod classic if i reset sync history?

    If i "reset sync history" will I lose all of my music on iPod?

    Hi PhyllisT,
    This will not erase the music on your iPod, but the next time you connect iTunes will act like it's the first time that you have connected the iPod and you'll have to do all of your sync preferences again.  Is this part of troubleshooting?

  • Problem with config sync between two CSM-S modules

    Hi everybody,
    I have a problem with config sync between two CSM-S modules.
    I am using CSM-S software version 2.1(8).
    The acitve module is used in a 6509 with WS-SUP720-BASE supervisor running software version 12.2(18)SXF12a.
    The standby module is used in a 6509-V with VS-S720-10G supervisor (no VSS setup) running software version 12.2(33)SXI3.

    The last log message on standby device seems to be correct - there is no CSM configuration after the attempted config sync.
    Our configuration includes about 3500 lines and it is really uncomfortable to keep in sync manually.
    Maybe someone has the same problem?
    kind regards,
    Christoph

    Hi Christoph,
    I am running into the exact same issue. Upon further investigation I've discovered that this is a known bug, CSCtd09117.  You can read more about it here: http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/search/getBugDetails.do?method=fetchBugDetails&bugId=CSCtd09117 .   Apparently this is fixed in ver 12.2(32.8.11)SX323 .
    I haven't had a chance to upgrade yet, so I can't verify the fix, but if it works for you please let me know.
    Regards,
    Brandon

  • Reset Sync History Grey'd out...

    In an effort to cure the iCal error...
    "Calendars could not be synced due to inconsistent data. Confirm your computers data is valid then reset calendars on MobileMe in System Preferences."
    ..I decided to try resetting my sync history in iSync but when I do (iSync > Preferences) both the check box next to "Enable sync on this computer" and the "Reset Sync History" button are grey'd out.
    Any idea what could be causing this?

    Try turning off the syncing in the preferences of the programs that use it first. Then go back to ISync preferences and see if the check box is active

  • Problem with firefox sync

    I have never used Firefox Sync so i gave it a try. Then found out it is indeed very useful until i got an error: Error While Syncing. I fixed by changing my password. But the error came back and i ignored.
    I searched and found out that one solution was to reset and do it again so i deleted my sync data and then deleted my account.
    Now i cant do nothing !!! I even created a new account but the button "I have an account" doesn't work.
    I can't see the code, the one to pair a device. I can create a new account but it won't log in.
    I tried to recover my Sync account with the Recover lost password but all i get is a message saying "We were unable to log you in"
    I'm thinking in reinstall firefox with my old profile data but one file might be corrupted and then i will be unable to fix the problem.
    What can i do ?
    Please help me!!! Anyone!

    I FIXED IT!!!
    After everything was lost, i managed to fix the problem by resetting Firefox.
    I reseted by clicking Help / Troubleshooting Information / Reset Firefox (Top right corner).
    Now, everything is fine! Redid my Sync account and re-synced Firefox.
