Apple TV reverse sync photos

My portable hard drive has cratered and I'm not sure if I can have the data recovered or not. However, alot of my photos on the drive were synced to my Apple TV and are still there. Is there any possibility of reverse syncing those photos back to my computer? My hard drive is a WD Passport, btw, and it is not initialized in the Disk Management. Maybe someone knows a fix to that as well which would resolve my problem as well. Many photos on the hd are my son's photos that I backed up for him before he left for Iraq. Those photos are NOT on my Apple TV so data recovery is the ideal solution. Thanx

No easy way to get content off AppleTV I'm afraid.
Your only options are to:
- dismantle and remove internal drive, and try and read the drive inserted in a caddy (but you'd need a Mac for that due to the file system)
- hack AppleTV to gain command line access (you might need some utilities to do this on Windows)
Neither are ideal options.
Depending on how valuable the photos are your best option may be a professional data recovery solution but there would be no guarantees.
Best case would be if it's not the passport drive but the control electronics/interface that's gone. Might also be worth checking that your USB cable and port on PC are ok.
If you do gain access to the drive and you think it's partially corrupted do not delete/write to it.
Might also be worth checking if WD have any diagnostic apps online for you to try and determine what's wrong.
You haven't added any new drives/optical drives recently, which in some configurastions could take that externald drive letter and hide it ?

Reverse syncing my Itunes

My hard drive crashed and it had to be rebuilt. I re-installed iTunes but my music library is gone.
The only option I have is to erase and sync because it thinks the iPod is managered by another computer and it wants to start over.
How do I reverse sync my iPod to my iTunes?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

1). Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
3). Once you are connected and your iPod is safely in manual mode there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. iTunes will only let you copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchased songs and in some cases, videos and games) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
4). Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

Creative Sync Manager weird bug (featur

Hi,
I'm a new Zen Touch 20GB owner although I've been an avid 3G iPod owner before it died on me some time ago. Anyway, I love my new Zen Touch for what it worth but if only if the bundled software would perform better. Well, first of all, I find Creative MediaSource Organizer to be quite a decent audio player despite the weird 4-panes navigation scheme. I have no problem with it yet though.
However, the accompanying sync plugin/module for my Zen Touch is very disappointing.
Before I start ranting, here are some details:
Mp3 Player:
Zen Touch 20GB
Date of purchase: 0/2/2005
Firmware: 2.0.05 (PlayForSure)
Creative MediaSource:
Version 3.30.2 with updated driver for PlayForSure-enabled Zen Touch
Now back to the issue. First, it takes more than 0 seconds to initialise. Loading a big chunk of drivers for all MP3 players Creative have ever produced or what? Second, it doesn't have an option to delete files in my zen player which are not in my PC library. Third, it REFUSES TO REPLACE MP3 files that are already in the player eventhough the files are listed before the syncing procedure. You see, I edit ID3 tags of my music collection all the time so it is natural for me to have my modified ID3 tags to reflect on the files on my Zen Touch as well. OK sure, when I fire up the sync manager, it manages to detect that I have all these files with updated ID3 tags needed to be copied over to my Zen Touch but why in the name of creativity wouldn't it copy the files just like it should do? The files are already in my Zen Touch? Just replace them! I know what I want to do so just replace them! Or at least give me the "Do you want to replace the files?" box with "Yes" or "No" button. Why do I have to go into the directory structure of my zen player and delete the files manually in order to get the latest files copied over?
I hope this issue is fixed soon. Don't give me those "download the freeware NomadSync etc" advices. Why bother releasing the bundled software if it cannot do such a simple job of replacing files already in the player.
p/s: I read the "read before you post" post and I already did some searches in the forum for previously posted posts on the issue above but it seems that I'm the first one to discover it. Or maybe everyone else just doesn't care and decided to suck it up?Message Edited by anatilmizun on -09-2005 02:57 AM

well, I don't mind having to use other program for not-so-common jobs, but this is about replacing/overwriting files that are already in the player. I did mention that the sync manager is smart enough to make a list of files that it thinks should be synced to my zen touch but why won't it copy the files over? Isn't it weird if you sit and think about it's Isn't the real purpose of sync manager to copy files from PC to Zen or vice versa so that both places have the exact set of files? So what if the destination already has the files? The files are different, as detected by sync manager, so it should just overwrite them. It is the basic job the Sync Manager is supposed to do, isn't it's Why should I use another program?
It's like sync manager saying "hey, I think the files X, Y and Z in your MP3 player are outdated so I am going to sync them. WHoaaaa! There are already X, Y and Z in your MP3 player so I'm going to leave them alone" Sense any weirdness or craziness about this hypotethic monologue?Message Edited by anatilmizun on -0-2005 0:09 AM

FIREFOX 35.0 'NEW' SYNC: I'm already signed-in to Sync but when I click on FF Sync/"Manage" in 'Options' I receive a message that my password is incorrect. Why?

Hi Mozilla support,
My query is twofold but interrelated ... and sorry for the protracted dialogue, in advance :)
(1) Regarding my Sync "Password" + (2) Strange issue in Options/'Sync'/"Manage
Set out below is my 'issue'.
Perhaps you can clarify what is going on here for me and help me to stop this strange occurrence.
I've used firefox since 3.5 and love it.
I now have Firefox 35 on Windows 8 (64-bit) with the 'new' Sync successfully set-up on a newish HP Desktop computer (Envy 23).
While my 'issue' doesn't cause a huge problem, it IS a source of unnecessary frustration & confusion.
If possible I'd like to eliminate that unnecessary stress and enjoy using FF again.
Additionally, I thought this peculiar 'issue' may be an indication of something else amiss in my FF Sync or my FF settings.
Here is the scenario:-
At the moment, I'm signed in to Firefox "Sync" and it IS definitely syncing successfully - the 'circular arrows' spin around & tell me when it was last synced, so I know that's okay.
However, after the last update (to 35.0), I had to "reconnect" sync because it has "disconnected" .
I had terrible trouble signing back in, even though I was using the exact same password I had been using prior to the update.
After several failed attempts to sign in and FF repeatedly telling me I was using the 'incorrect' password, I closed the browser down & restarting FF 35.
FF had somehow 'signed me in' automatically - with the same password I thought was correct or not, I don't know.
Anyway, after all the trouble signing-in I not only felt dubious that all the data WAS syncing, I wanted to take a closer look.
But also I needed to check which password was being used for Sync, when FF signed me in (after the update & restart).
To double-check sync was working properly, I went into - "Options"/Firefox Sync/"Manage" - and was told that I needed to (quote): "Sign in, Continue to Firefox Sync".
I thought it was strange as only a couple of minutes before that, FF had already signed me in & sync seemed to be working. (the circular arrows were spinning)
Not knowing what was going on, I did as suggested by FF and entered my User-name & Password (for a second time).
I was then informed my password was 'incorrect' (please see uploaded/attached image).
I found this odd, considering this 'message' came up even though FF itself had signed me in to Sync after the update to 35 & restart of the browser.
What is confusing to me is the mixed-messages I'm receiving from FF.
FF must have signed me in to Sync using the very same Password that I've used since the 'new' sync was set-up & had been using for some time, but was now informing me in - 'Options/Sync/"Manage" - that the password was incorrect.
Although I am, at this moment, signed in to sync & it is working, I'm utterly confused as to what is or isn't the correct Password.
*If it can be avoided, I don't want to change it because I've saved it in so many places in PC, for future reference.*
Can I 're-save' the same password for Sync again, so that I can be sure that it's correct?
Also, for me, this strange behaviour by FF sync is an unnecessary source of angst and would love you to tell me what is going on or how to fix it please?

# Yes, if you go to accounts.firefox.org, sign out, you will now be signed out.
# Sign back in, and you will be asked to save the password you entered.
# This will save the password and autocomplete if you have this option turned on.
I am not exactly sure why the menu did not detect the password change or if it was stored incorrectly after you changed it? But after storing the correct password you can manage any duplicate passwords in the password manager.[[Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox]]

I'm trying to add my Linux netbook to my sync account but both my windows computers will not show the "Add Device" button in any of the sync management screens

I'm trying a new Linux build on a net book that I use for playing with non windows OS. In the process of setting up the fresh OS install I wanted in get my Firefox account set up to that I didn't have to spend lots of time working on that one thing. I'm no stranger to the browser sync and have attached several of my computers and tablets with a number of different OS to the account with little trouble including the Firefox of the previous Linux build that was on the net book. The problem now is that on both of my to main computers, a windows 7 desktop and a windows 8.1 tablet, both running the latest Firefox, I am unable to find the "add device" button in any of the sync management screens. This includes the browsers built in options screen as well as the Firefox manage account page. The first gives me options for disconnecting the account, going to the manage screen, several check boxes for what can be synced, and the device name. The manage screen, after logging in, only give me options for signing out, changing password, and deleting the account. Any help figuring out why the add device button seem to be missing from both these devices would be greatly appreciated.

Please check your Firefox Installation's version. (can be found by clicking the main menu, either clicking or hovering over the help button, and then clicking about firefox in the sub menu). depending on how long ago you set up sync you may still be using the older sync version. firefox 29 introduced a new (and might i add far less tedious) sync version. see [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync|this Mozilla support article]] for information on upgrading your sync to the new version.

Zen Sync Manager doesn't work with Windows 7

I have a Zen 6GB MP3 player, firmware version .2.03_0.03.0.
I recently upgraded my computer from Windows Vista to Windows 7. Sync Manager (looks like version 6.4.8.0, dated 7/7/2007) worked fine with Vista, and it even worked for a few days after I upgraded, but now it does not recognize that there is a player connected.
Zen Media Explorer still works, so I can drag and drop audio files to the Zen, but this is a bit of a pain. More importantly, I need to find a way to sync organizer (Outlook) data.
I have tried running Sync Manager in various compatibility modes (Vista, XP SP3, XP SP2), but it still will not recognize the player. From something I read in another post in this forum, I'm wondering if I need to uninstall Sync Manager and reinstall it in a compatibility mode? All my other applications work fine with Win 7, so I'm not that familiar with how to use compatibility mode properly.
Thanks!

I tried every which way to solve this problem, and in the end contacted Ctreati've tech support. They advised the following:
"Please be advised that, currently, we do not have Creative Media Explorer (Sync Manager) and firmware updates available for ZEN on Windows 7 OS.
Creative is working constantly on updates for Windows 7 users who are using Creative products. These updates will be deli'vered from time to time on our website. We encourage you to often visit our support site, http://support.creative.com/ and forum page, http://forums.creative.com/ for product updates and announcements."
Frustrating; it looks like a matter of waiting ...

Error in sync Manager since installing B1 PL19

Hi,
since I installed Pl19 for B1, i get this problem in Syncmanager
when the application loads, I get a popup saying
"The procedure entry point MiniDumpWriteDump could not be located in the dynamic link library dbghelp.dll"
also in the log window of sync Manager I then see
"Object reference not set to an instance of an object" and if I click "Try Connection" I get this error (along with the original popup)
SBO Error #127: - The specified procedure could not be found.
Event log shows this information for that error:
SBO Error #127: - The specified procedure could not be found.
   at NetPoint.SynchSBO.Synch.SetCompany()

   at NetPoint.SynchService.NPSynchService.CycleTimer_Tick(Object sender, ElapsedEventArgs e)
All of the settings for sync are now blank
I have tried this on two machines, and the result is the same, reinstallation of Netpoint sync manager did not change the situation.
The odd thing is that I did a full sync immediatley after upgrading to PL19 and it worked just fine, however the server then was rebooted and since then, I have this problem. DI API has been updated using the version supplied in the PL19 upgrade package.
Netpoint version is 5.9.6, Running on Windows Server 2000 SP4.

Hi Shawn,
Thanks for the information.
Regarding your points
-I originally went with the Synch Manager installed on my SAP Server. However this caused issues with a 3rd party addon (called Amodat) so I moved Netpoint Sync manager to another server, where it worked happily (with the DIAPI installed)
-Since the upgrade to PL19 the problems occurred, specifically when I rebooted the server two days after the upgrade, presumably at this point something got re/un registered and this caused problems.
-The PL19 DIAPI installation, (which also coincidentally killed my Amodat and required me to delete the 680318 folders from my temp directories, there is a sdn note about it somewhere) is, I am sure, the cause of the problem but then again I have removed it fully and installed ONLY the 2004 DIAPI and still I get no joy.
-The regsvr32 test on the SAPbobsCOM dll was used just to verify that the DLL was not being properly registered on the server, other than that I have used the installer to install/remove it at all times.
-My initial concern was that something had changed in the DIAPI for PL19 and that (forward compatibility aside, it doesn't always work!) the Interop dll that shipped with the Netpoint Sync was going to need updating.
-However since I did manage to get the sync Manager running on another machine since I think this is probably an issue for SAP SDK/B1 Support and not Netpoint directly.
Phew. I guess what I'm saying is, I was just hoping that someone elese had the same problem and a handy solution already, I will continue to chase this via normal support channels from a B1 perspective.
So thanks a million to everyone for all your help so far, if you come across anything please post it up here!

Using Sync Manager for LabVIEW OI exe & TestStand

We would like to have our LabVIEW Operator Interface executable send data via a TestStand queue to a logging sequence. The SyncManager API sounds like a slick way to do this because it provides access to TS syncronization objects from other processes outside of TestStand. I created an experimental sequence to try out the concept. The sequence creates a queue with a TestStand Queue step, enqueues an item with another TS queue step, then uses ActiveX calls into the SyncManager API to add another item to the queue. That all works.
When I added a LabVIEW VI to enqueue another item via similar ActiveX calls into the SyncManager API, the VI does not get a valid reference to the queue and so it can't enqueue the item.
I read on the forum that the TS queue name needs to start with * in order to be accessed by separate processes on the same machine. When I prepend a * on my queue name, the TS queue steps continue to work, but the step that uses an ActiveX call into the SyncManager API to get a reference to the queue returns a null ref so the following ActiveX enqueue step returns an error. Plus the LabVIEW VI still doesn't get a valid reference to the queue either.
Ideas and suggestions welcome! The sequence and LabVIEW VI are attached. Using LV and TS 2012, got similar results in 2013SP1 .
Thanks!

Thank you very much dug9000. I unchecked the Create Object box in the sequence step adapter settings and disabled the Automation Open node in the VI. Now the sequence ActiveX steps can get a valid queue ref for a queue named "*TestQueue" and can enqueue an item. Yay! The VI gets now gets a valid reference to the queue and can get the numbers of items on the queue. Yay! But, I have not been able to get the VI to successfully enqueue an item. I tried both passing the sequence context and a null sequence context to the IQueue Enqueue method, but no luck either way. The updated zip file is attached. More help would be greatly appreciated!

In Yosemite there is no Sync Manager, how do I sync my blackberry?

I have upgraded to Yosemite and am trying to sync my Blackberry, which keeps telling me I have to switch on Sync Manager on my iMac. However Yosemite no longer uses Sync Manager, so what do I do?

You are going to have to purchase the Snow Leoard 10.6 DVD to upgrade.

Backup/Sync Manager in Elements 9 has quit working.

It shows blank lines where it should show albums. How can I fix? The catalog which I am trying to back up has about 11000 items. The sync manager says the catalog is sync'd but it is not. Thanks for any help,

First of all, are you sure you have enough space for everything? If so, try logging out of your account (click where it says Welcome, < your name > in PSE) and then log in again.

Apple TV Reverse Sync FAIL

I buy content on my Apple TV and it has started not reverse syncing that content so I can see it on my MacBook iTubes library.
I use the same iTunes account on both so they should have the same content
no matter on which I purchase on. Even when I right-click the Apple TV icon in
iTubes and select 'Trasnfer Purchases' it syncs for 2 seconds... then nothing.
This was not an issue on Tiger and iTunes 7/8 etc.
But on Snow Leopard and iTunes 9, Apple TV 3.0.1 it's annoying as ****.

This isn't good enough from Apple. This is not some small glitch, it's a FUNDAMENTAL flaw. and needs to be sorted ASAP.
AppleCare have been absolutely useless, shuttling me back and forth between iTunes support, Apple TV support and back again with nobody taking responsibility.
What does it take for these issues to get to the people they need to!

Reverse Sync iPod Bookmarks to my MBP

Hi,
Don't know what happened yesterday, but I did something in my Safari bookmarks collections menu and all of a sudden all of my bookmarks were gone (hundreds, neatly organized, and very necessary to my work). After panicking, it occurred to me that they all still reside on my iPod Touch, but now I'm afraid to plug it in because a two-way sync will erase all of the bookmarks on the Touch, too.
Is there any way to somehow save the bookmarks from the Touch, or one-way sync them to the MBP?
I have searched the web quite exhaustively, and it seems anyone interested in reverse-syncing iPods just wants to rip the music.
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the discussions,
First of all, disable autosync and backup your ipod manually by right clicking on it in the device list and choosing backup. After that at least your bookmarks can be restored on your ipod again, just in case.
See this article about syncing: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
Bookmarks sync two ways, so if you set up new bookmarks on your mac, your bookmarks should be merged during the next sync, from the ipod towards the mac and back.

Creative Sync Manager:---- CRAS

The Creative Sync Manager crashes every time I plug in my Zen Micro (vers. ..0) with the message "Creative Sync Manager has encountered a problem".
I have:
WindowsXP SP2 all patches to date.
Zen Micro FW Vers. ..0
Installed Zen Micro Driver 2.0 and ZenCast (which includes Sync Manager vers. 6.4.6)
Please do not suggest I update firmware. I really don't want firmware 2.x.
Does anyone have any suggestions? It just doesn't seem right that the Sync Manager should CRASH when a Zen Micro is plugged in, no matter what the firmware version.
Thanks,
Unit_

Same problem here.
Zen Vision M:30gb XP Pro laptop and Vista Desktop both do the same thing. Very frustrating, and making me feel foolish for not buying an iPod - I'm sorry but its true. I wasted 2 hours trying to get this to work yesterday, and even when it works, the podcasting implementation is poor. If they get this fixed, and then make it better, I may stay loyal but its not looking likely just now!
Great player... better than an iPod in my view... but horribly let down by the software.
