Repetitive Sync and Background Sync

Hi Experts,
Can any body tell me what are the Repetitive Sync and Background Sync and the procedure how they will work?
Thanks in Advance
Naveen

Hi Uwe,
well, while device syncs the user can continue to work.... performance is not that worse - and the functionality is available for JSP as well.
BUT!
Have in mind that you do not lock entries while you display them on the screen. This is not supported in MI and so it can happen that you select a dataset to change it on the screen and while you change this entry the device syncs and in the sync this entry gets changed or deleted from the device.... if you now want to persist this item this will run into an error..... Well, background sync needs carefull handling... but yes, it is possible!
Hope it helps!
Regrds,
Oliver

Controlling Login/Logout and Background Sync

Mac OS X Server 10.5.7
Mac OS X Client 10.5.7
Everything setup perfectly and by the book on both Server and Client.
Problem:
Why in God's name has Apple COMBINED the sync rules for both Login/Logout and Background Sync??? It's the most illogical thing and it does not work!!!
Question:
I know how to prevent Background items from Syncing at Login (through the preference manifest), but how to I get the Background sync NOT to sync LOGIN/LOGOUT items.
The problem is always and systematically been mostly with the LIBRARY folder giving all sorts of sync errors. I have tried every possible trick combination but nothing seems to work.
Is this STILL a bug even after a year?? If so, other than skipping the Library folder completely, mobile homes is utterly useless and unreliable. If I skip the Library folder, then mobile homes aren't really complete if a user moves to another machine.
Has anyone found a reliable solution to this mess?
PLEASE HELP.

Something is definitely breaking it. Its as if at some random point in time, the sync stops obeying the background rules. I can only conclude that there is still is a bug somewhere that is not fixed.
For example, I initially created the mobile home setting using the computer groups. When that started giving me errors, then I figured, let me try it by doing it via groups. So I created a new group and then, undid the settings for mobile homes that I had set for my computer group.
The first time I logged in, it was working perfectly. Then my laptop's battery died. When I plugged it back, it reconnected to my wireless network and THATS when the bug started showing up again. No matter how many times I restarted, if I have firefox or entourage open, I automatically see that exclamation point in the upper right hand corned (on the mobile homes icon) and its ALWAYS the library files pertaining to those apps that 'are in use'.
This is really frustrating and most non-apple like. This used to work perfectly under Tiger Server, I don't understand how Apple can mess this up THIS BAD and worse, not have a solid fix after a year.
This bug even occurred with a brand new installation of Leopard server on a Xserve and a Mac OS X 10.5.7 station. The instant the mobile user logged on, that exclamation point came on complaining about the entourage files being in use even though that entire folder is set to be SKIPPED during Background Syncing.
Not sure where to look anymore.
And one more thing; as soon as I encounter that exclamation point, the time/date stamp reporting the last sync stops working as well.
Could you provide screenshots of your setup? Could it be that Im missing one tiny detail somewhere? I just dont see where though.
This is an updated output after it breaks (maybe there's a clue in there somewhere)

TS3697 I've this problem and don't know what to do , i'n trying to follow these steps so i'm asking how to turn off photo syncing and to sync my device

I've this problem and don't know what to do , i'n trying to follow these steps so i'm asking how to turn off photo syncing and to sync my device

As the article you attached says, "Within iTunes, select the device, then select the Photos pane and turn off syncing."
In other words, once you click on the device in iTunes on your computer (with the iPhone attached), you then click "Photos" near the top and uncheck the "sync photos" box.
Then you sync your device by clicking something in the lower right (it probably says "Apply", but it might say "Sync").

So ive been having problems with syncing my iphone 4. i connect it to itunes and click sync and it syncs till step 3 outta 5 and after that it just stops syncing?

any help?

Yes i recently found it i fixed it. the solution is my ipod was jailbroken and i had whats app the app and whats pad that was my problem when i removed it it let me sync and make sure your restrictions is on go to setting general retrictions turn it on if not

Syncing and un-syncing

Hi,
I know that this is probably the simplest of problems but im quite new to ipods and all that.
I want to remove all the tunes and video from my PC to free up a lot of space but i want to leave them on my ipod. what do i need to do so that they dont disappear from my ipod the next time i connect to my PC? I have seen people on here saying that they have "clicked on Sync" but where do I find this option
hope someone can help this novice
Thanks

you need to select the manually manage ipod option ( this is to remove all the music, videos off your pc). go to the summary page of your ipod. and tick the option manually manage ipod there. the link below explains alot about manually managing your ipod
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61148
and to get the sync option right click on your ipod and select sync
hope that helps

Question about syncing and un-syncing

i accidentally synced all my pictures to my ipod and i only want a couple. how do i delete the pictures i dont want on there? I used to have a zune so i am way new to this stuff. thanks in advance

Remove the photo from the folder that you linked to when you set the preference "synchronize photos from" and update the iPod. For example, if the iPod is getting the pictures from the folder "My Pictures," remove or delete them from My Pictures and sync your iPod.
Here's a simple "How To" on downloading and managing photos from a folder on your hard disk to an iPod:
1 Create a folder on your hard drive to hold the photos you want on your iPod. Call it iPod Photos for example
2 Drag the photos you want from your usual picture folder into the folder you just created
2 Open iTunes, select your iPod in the iTunes Source list.
3 Click the Photos tab and select “Synch photos from.”
4 Choose “Choose Folder” from the pop-up menu and select the iPod photos folder you created.
5 When you want to change what photos are on the iPod just add or remove the photos from the folder you have made and syncronise the the iPod

MfE stopped auto-syncing and get sync error

I purchased an E71 about a month ago and have been using MfE with our 2003 Exchange server. Things have been going great until recent. i keep it sync'd at all times and the 'lightning bolt' symbol was always next to the MfE inbox. As of yesterday, it lost it. I can, however, sync manually. BUT, when i'm in the settings for MfE, i notice under the "Current Status" as it syncs, it will stop and say "Connect Failed. Waiting to Retry." It has said "Connected" but will eventually fail and go back to the other message of failed.
Any tips or advice on why all of the sudden this happened? Thanks very much for helping!
Paymon

Hi, I have the exact same problem since I bought my device. I can pull email but it doesn't sync automatically and push and always says "connect failed. waiting to retry under MFE." Have you received any responses to your message or fixed your problem?

Difference between "sync" and "full sync" system replication?

I try to understand the difference of new "full sync" replication mode in SPS08. Do I understand it correctly that in case of "full sync" if connection to secondary system is not available, all transactions on primary side are blocked forever? While in case if simple "sync" transactions resume after defined timeout and replication state goes in Error? If yes, is it logshipping_timeout? Where this timeout is defined?
Thank you!

Mix Sync and Non-Synced

I have looked and looked, and I cannot find a way to have my music automatically synced to my iPod while manually copying videos.
The main reason for this is that the videos take up way too much space on my hard drive and I'd prefer them on my iPod.
If this is not possible, it would be a GREAT feature to implement in the future.

ok, here's a solution for anyone that's interested:
. create your own lightweight scrollpane class, directly extending java.awt.Container.
. create your own lightweight canvas classm directly extending java.awt.Component.
add the MyCanvas to the MyScrollpane and override the paint method of MyScrollPane to do something like this: (where offscreen is a member variable of type java.awt.Image)
public void paint(Graphics g) {
    if(offscreen == null) {
        offscreen = createImage(getSize().width, getSize().height);
    Graphics og = offscreen.getGraphics();
    og.setClip(0,0,getSize().width, getSize().height);
    //make sure lightweight children of the scrollpane are rendered
    super.paint(og);
    //now draw any overlayed detail over the top
    paintDetail(og);
    g.drawImage(offscreen, 0, 0, null);
    og.dispose();
}took a bit of hunting around to find out how to do it. what i was doing wrong was trying to paint over a heavyweight component (i.e. a java.awt.Canvas), which you can't do, apparently. here's a useful link that I used:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/awt/designspec/lightweights.html

Getting ~/Library to sync in background when login/logout sync turned off

I have a bunch of laptop users with very slow network connections where I need to turn off login/logout sync and only sync data in the background manually. Problem is, if you turn off login/logout sync it also turns off syncing ~/Library in the background.
Now if you use the Details tab for MCX setting in WGM you can add the key "Sync Preferences in the Background" and set it to "sync" but it doesn't make any difference.
Anyone know how to work around this so I don't have to sync anything at login/logout but can still sync Preferences in background when I manually do a sync?

I don't think it's in the GUI, but you can manage this stuff pretty granularly with the following boolean flags in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.homeSync.plist:
<key>syncBackgroundSetAtLogin</key>
<string>dontSync</string>
<key>syncBackgroundSetAtLogout</key>
<string>dontSync</string>
<key>syncPreferencesAtLogin</key>
<string>dontSync</string>
<key>syncPreferencesAtLogout</key>
<string>sync</string>
<key>syncPreferencesAtSyncNow</key>
<string>dontSync</string>
<key>syncPreferencesInBackground</key>
<string>dontSync</string>
I think the keys you want are syncPreferencesInBackground and/or syncPreferencesAtSyncNow. However, I found that this unpredicatably didn't sync everything. PHD has a generally hard time with open files and many of these files are open. Also, note that 10.5 changed in that it considers any hidden folders loose in your home folder (e.g. .ssh/) to be included in "Preference" syncing only occurring at Logout and Login. This isn't really documented or shown anywhere. I'm pretty sure that they are ignored in the background *even with* the above flags in use. Note that I haven't played with these in a while, so your mileage might vary. Perhaps they're just not ready for prime time.
EDIT:
Actually, I just remember where and how I found these: You need to follow the directions for "Using the Preference Editor to Manage Core Services" on page 236 of the User Management manual. This gives you the location of Preference Manifest for Home Folder Syncing which has a bucketload of cool options, including automatic conflict resolution.

I keep trying to sync things among my MacBook Pro, iPAD, and iPhone. Usually this works fine for a few days, but then I notice that the calendars aren't syncing and the "notes" aren't syncing. How can I get them all to stay in sync?

I have a MacBook Pro running OS X Yosemite, version 10.10.2.
I have an iPad 2 running 8.1.3
I have an iPhone 6 Plus running 8.1.1
I have my Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and Notes set up to sync over iCloud among the three devices.
I haven't had a problem with the Mail or Contacts syncing (at least not as far as I know), but the Notes and the Calendars don't seem to stay sync'd up. I will notice that they aren't sync'ing, will delete and re-sync and they are fine for a while, but inevitably they stop sync'ing at some point. This has been true through earlier incarnations of operating systems, so not something new.
How can I get them to sync and stay sync'd?

This was removed in 10.9. You may have better luck getting assistance in the relevant Mac forum.

The ipad wont sync and will return an error "Ipad cannot sync because the computer is no longer authorized to transfer the purchases..." But when I do a file devices transfer purchases.

It is successful. Updated to ios7 recently. I'm facing the problem since then. I've tried deauthorizing and then authorizing several times.

Thanks Gail but ive tried that as well as logging oht and back into my accounts on my iphone and mac but I still get that message. I actually found a solution by unckecking my synced music playlist and clicking sync to remove it and then reclicked on my playlist to sync and it actually synced notmally and I got all of my new songs so I wanted to test it again so I clicked on sync again and the message once again popped up until I did the un-syncing and re-syncing again. I guess I will keep doing that in the future even though its annoying but its better than resetting my iphone.

How to Wirelessly sync and connect my iPhone 5 to itunes?

Hey i just wanna no if there is a way to sync iphone and contacts and trasfer songs and delete songs ect wirelessly to my mac itunes.
just everything the same but without the cable
Thanks

With you phone connected to your computer and itunes open select your phone from the list on the left then click on summary tab, scroll down to OPTIONS and check the box beside Sync with this phone over wifi. Now you will not need to connec the phone with a cable. On your phone in settings/general tap on itunes wifi sync and then sync now. Your phone needs to b epluged in to power and have wifi available

Can someone explain 'Sync' and how it sends mail

I've lost a lot of emails
Heres the scenario. Between the hours of 9pm and 4pm (work days) I disable Sync and Email Sync. So lets start with MSN (others)
Its 9pm, I launch MSN (others) email application, I hit refresh one last time, then I go into settings, account settings etc etc and uncheck the box that says 'Sync Email'
Next since I have a google account I also go into settings and uncheck the box that says 'sync email'
Then so I can get the full battery life possible I pull down my notification menu and select all and uncheck the radio button that says 'Sync'...and that lasts from 9pm as I sleep...and my work shift is like 7am to 4pm (ish) and then I will re enable it all.
Now lets say at 10am I'm going thru twitter and theres an article thats a long one and I want to read it when I get off work....I hold down the tweet and see an option that says "Share", I select Gmail because I prefer reading it off of MSN (my choice!) anyways, I can go thru and select a lot of stuff and share it, by sending an email.
Now heres the thing....I know if I were to launch my MSN Mail at 10:05am I wont get it, duh! because I have Sync off right? So once I enable each of the emails' Sync Option and enabling the Device' Sync option....I then will receive the email or emails...which I do...every single time and by everytime I mean 10 emails sent by me, per day (ish) every day for over a month.
Now....heres my problem
I was viewing web pages...I chose Share....I chose send via MSN to GMail (odd I know)...but prior to enabling Sync I actually performed a Factory Reset on Device/Phone...so it was like a brand new phone...
However once I enabled Sync and refreshed a few times I havent received the emails nor am I finding it in the "drafts or sent folders"
So I ask....what is the proper steps my phone is taking that somehow sends these "ghost emails"
Heres my theory: I mean lets say I view a webpage; all sync's are disabled; I choose 'Share to this email address'...does my phone create a file on Devices Memory and its called "sendemail1togmail.mail" and if I choose to share another webpage it creates another file called "sendemail2togmail.mail" meanwhile those are temp files...kinda like temporary files when you are downloading a file off a webpage. (aka Partial)....then when you enable Sync on all of them...it searches for any .mail files off the device and thus sends it appropriately??????
If so; great where do the files get saved to? Because next time I'm either keeping sync on or I'll just copy the files to my SD card then I'll copy it back again
Because either way...I dont have the emails I sent
Thanks

sync doesn't send emails, only synchronizes between pc & phone.
yours is the goofiest way of syncing i've heard of.
i sync 4 email acc'ts, 2 are pop3, yahoo & gmail & they all work as you'd expect.

Firefox Sync Reset, not syncing and deleting all addons from every device

I started to notice that some of my addons were being uninstalled randomly so I decided to unlink my three devices, make sure one was a master, set up sync and then sync the other devices. However, something happened and now my quota for addons is 6.0 KB, that doesn't seem like much for addons and when I sync on any other device, replacing the data on that computer with the sync data, all addons get unistalled. I tried changing the recovery key, deleted the account and created a new account with the same email address. I am at a loss. Ideas?

I tried the suggestions at the links above but they did not work. Every time I sync, all addons are uninstalled. I have to back and undo the uninstall on all of them to keep them.
