Safari won't stay in my dock - problem with sync
Safari won't stay in my dock and it is related to mobileme sync but I'm not sure how to fix it.
I reset the mobileme dock sync data but that doesn't help.
I turned mobileme syncing off completely then I moved the Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist file to the desktop, killall Dock in terminal..... I'm in the middle of adding stuff and moving things into my new dock and I see Safari jump to the bottom of the dock because I had it open. Hmm. It keeps removing itself from the dock, only takes a few moments and mobileme sync is OFF.
I opened console and added safari to the dock. I wait a couple seconds and Safari jumps back down the dock and this pops into console:
Aug 4 22:03:05 MacBookPro [0x0-0x1c01c].com.apple.dock[183]: 2008-08-04 22:03:05.516 DockSyncClient[234:10b] Dock Sync Client caught exception: NSInvalidArgumentException: [ISyncConcreteSession clientAcceptedChangesForRecordWithIdentifier:formattedRecord:newRecordIdentifie r:]: you can't change the record identifier from B88A8C54-5B9B-46E1-9F97-E2222E92DC1C to /Applications/Safari.app: it is already associated with a different record.
Sync is off but it is still trying to sync? Is there a local sync record that I need to delete?
follow-up to my own post...
I found a "tip" on another website that suggests deleting several files to fix the problem. They also acknowledge that the files are in a folder which Apple specifically says shouldn't be messed with. That scared me off.
However, I tried something else, which has seemed to work (so far):
1. Open MobileMe pane in Sys Prefs
2. Turn off Dock Items Syncing
3. Turn On Dock Items Syncing
4. Click Advanced Button
5. Select local computer (which is where the problem is happening)
6. Select "Reset Sync Data"
7. Select Replace: "Dock Items"
8. with "on this computer with sync info from MobileMe"
I have tried things like this before without success. Maybe I did something different this time. Either way, it worked. The items are stying in my dock, and have even survived an automatic and manual sync.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
Since I have upgraded my Leopard to Snow Leopard my Safari won't stay in the dock. I have to place a new alias in the dock after every restart of my computer.
Anyone any ideas why and how to prevent it?
Thank you,Hello Pegg:
Try trashing a preference file and restarting (com.apple.dock.plist). Then drag the icon from your application folder to the dock. One other observation. If you have the application moved out of the Application folder, put it back.

I have created a second user on my iMac (OSX 10.7.1) and applications won't stay in the dock and my preferences default after restart. Everything works fine with the main user. Anyone else have this problem?
Hi again, ;o)
I found this advice in another thread (here), which you might find helpful...
Unregistering the iMac from .Mac syncing and re-registering it (replacing the computer's information with the .Mac information) resolved the issue.
The .Mac sync information was Reset (i.e. recopied in it's entirety) from the MacBook (the 'good' computer) to .Mac prior to unregistering and re-registering the iMac, so a fresh copy of the sync could be loaded from .Mac to the iMac.
I hope this helps the others who have had this problem.

After a recovery reinstall of 10.8.5 and using Safari 6.0.3, I get the message "Safari won't open because of a problem"
I'm not sure if this Safari is compatible. I also have Safari 7.0.4 in my applications folder, which i downloaded as an attempt to
solve the problem, but it isn't compatible with my system.Having two copies of Safari on the hard drive is what's keeping Safari from opening.
Move the 7.0.4 version to the Trash.
Then restart your Mac and try Safari.
Safari 7.0.4 won't run on Mountain Lion. Only v10.9 Mavericks. -
I have problems saving pdf files in the web when I use Safari. I don't have this problem with firefox.
do they save ok if Safari - Preferences - Security - Allow all other plug-ins is unchecked ?
If so, likely an adobe or other pdf plugin
Re-check the setting above & quit any browsers,
Look in this folder by triple-clicking the line below, then ctrl-clicking it & choosing Services - Open
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
remove anything with pdf in the filename & test again
Sometimes, plug-ins can be in the User Library folder :

Problems with syncing Ipad with ITunes: apps won't appear on Ipad and organizing icons won't save
I have a new Ipad 4 for three weeks. Yesterday I start having some problems with syncing my Ipad with ITunes (earlier all was without troubles):
- downloaded in ITunes on PC apps won't transfer to my Ipad - I press Apply and sync, it goes successfully, but apps won't appear on Ipad.
- I tried organizing icons on Ipad from PC, press Apply and sync, it all goes succesfully, but on Ipad icons won't rearrange. But ITunes shows that they are rearranged...
- also I tried syncing my books adding one new book, press sync all books, and new book won't appear. Only when I've chosen every book separately, they transfered.
I use USB for this.
I tried resetting my Ipad, reinstalling ITunes on PC, deauthorizing and authorizing my computer, but it didn't help.
Apple ID are the same on PC and Ipad.
I hope that I'm not the only one with this problem. And also forgive my mistakes if there are any - English is not my native language. Thank you!I know that it is time consuming and a bit of a pain in the butt to have to do it, but I would backup the iPad, restore to factory settings and then restore from the backup, and sync everything back to the device. It's going to take a while because you have a ton of music on the iPad, but IMO, that would be your best option now.
You could try unsyncing all of the music, and then resync it all again, but that takes time as well. If you are going to spend that much time trying to fix it, you may as well restore the device ...IMO once again.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings -
Problems with Syncing two different libraries on one mac
Ever since I downloaded itunes 11 onto my mac I am having problems with syncing. We have two libaries on our mac and can still easily move between the two, each keeping our own playlists, and music/podcast libaries. The problem is with the syncing to our ipods. The playlists stay separated, but unfortunately the sync update pulls both music libraries and puts it on each of our ipods. Having very different music tastes, this is a drag.
A second issue - there is still that problem of having issues with purchased music not staying in playlists (on ipod) after syncing.
I've tried looking around the itunes tutorials and articles but wasn't having luck. any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Oh, in case it matters, one of us is using an Iphone and the other an ipod touch.you might have to find a third party program to get those songs off her ipad onto the computer, apple doesnt support that unless they are purcahsed from itunes store because of DRM (Digital Rights Media) another word for copy write. so theres not a whole lot of hope for that, but you can always create a new user on your computer
>user>+ icon>Create new user make it admin
-if they are how ever purchased from itunes you would still make that new user, plug the device into itunes and authorize the computer by clicking store on the top of your screen where file edit and view are, Store>authorize this computer
once thats done you'll then plug that device in to the computer and on the left side of itunes you'll see devices and "Device name" the device its self, right click or control click the name and choose transfer purchases, anything that has ever been purchased of gotten for free will sync onto the computer,
you cant just simplay pull the songs off the device to the computer, doesnt work like that -
Problems with syncing Adobe Ideas with Adobe Creative Cloud
Dear Sir/Madam,
Since yesterday (22.04.2014) I have problems with syncing Adobe Ideas (in my iPad) with Adobe Creative Cloud.
Could you please help me with this issue?
Thanks in advanceHello,
I do not understand why there is no professional communication about the problem. I get the impression that Adobe doesn't know that many people use their App as advertised: As a quick professional sketching tool that syncs with Creative Cloud. Not to fix the problem means more people not trusting the cloud idea. I am actually a big fan of the CC, mostly because of regular updates. But the mobile apps seem to fall out of the normal update scheme. Are they not as important as the 'main software'?
When will the bug be fixed? Just to make clear: As there - up to now - is no other way to get the original idea files on the computer the adobe idea app is useless unless you fix the problem and/ or include the possibility to sync files via USB.
Meanwhile my Workaround:
You need Phoneview or another software that shows the files on your mobile device.
Open it - choose "Apps" - click on "Show all Apps" - click on "Adobe Ideas"
Than go to:
Library/Private Documents/documents/data/files/
there you find folders with cryptic names
Download one of the folders
Open the Folder
select all files in the folder and zip them
Change the extension from .zip to .idea
and voila
you can open it with Adobe Illustrator!
A long way, but for now the only solution to get the editable vector file on your computer.
Best regards

Problems with Syncing iPhone 3G (4.2.1. iOS). What is appearing in the status bar is "Syncing "untiled playlist.." and its stuck at backing up. I noticed that my name has been replaced to "untitled playlist". Whats wrong
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Maybe a long shot, but WD is not known for the quality of some of their enclosures, although I do like the drives themselves. It may be worth mounting this drive in a different enclosure, something like one of OWC's FireWire enclosures with the highly reliable Oxford chip sets. I wouldn't be inclined to trust a WD enclosure, especially if it already seemed to be acting in a flakey manner.
Here's an example of what I mean:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MEP924FW8E2O/
I have 3 of these and I really like them.
From what I understand, if the drive spins up, it is often possible to recover data from it. To be absolutely certain to destroy the data, you just about have to take a hammer to the disk. Hopefully, there will be a way to get your data back.
Good luck! -
I have an iPhone 4S and never had a problem with syncing it. But suddenly, when I connected my phone to my mac, it says that its in recovery mode, and I need to restore it in order to sync. I've updated both my phone and my itunes, and it didnt work.Help?

that only makes it say its synced, when its not.
No, it does not. It transfers purchases from the iDevice to the computer. The computer must be authorized for the Apple ID that the content was acquired with.

my playlists wont show up on the phone.
Are they selected to sync? Is Manually Manage content on the device selected?

I have problem with syncing in itunes and it stared since i installed new version of itunes.it stuck in backup step for houres.what shud i do?
So, in iTunes, when you look at the shuffle's content (in the sidebar) and click on the playlist under the shuffle, over to the right, the songs are in your desired order, correct? Where do you look, or what do you do, that indicates the playlists are in alphabetical order? Are you saying that when you play the songs while using the shuffle, they play in alphabetical order?
If so, when you listen to the songs on the shuffle, are you using the playlist, or are you using the All Songs list? If you are in the default All Songs list, with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order (the middle position), the songs play alphabetically, I believe.
The 3rd gen shuffle uses VoiceOver. If you are in the All Songs list, you need to use VoiceOver to switch to the playlist (see manual linked below for details). When you are in the playlist (with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order), then the songs should play in playlist order.
There are more details in the manual for the 3rd gen shuffle, which is online here
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPod_shuffle_3rdGen_UG.pdf
See page 22 for the section about setting up and using VoiceOver. The part about switching playlists starts on page 23 (Using the Playlist Menu). -

Problem with syncing AD users (LDAP)
I am running into a 'problem' with syncing users from ad. I'm pretty sure i'm doing something wrong but i can't figure it out.
When i sync manually the 'pop up' shows that it's synchronizing and after a few seconds it tells me "OK". But there are 0 users imported.
http://www.dualdude.net/bm/run_ldap_sync.jpg
The connection and credentials to access the AD work since they are also used for Zarafa and Samba AD synchronization. The AD is running on an Windows Server 2008 Enterprise x64 machine.
This is a screenshot of the configuration used:
http://www.dualdude.net/bm/ldap_config.jpg
Any thoughts on what i'm doing wrong?I got the same problem when using groupfilter:
User Filter: (&(|(objectClass=Person)(objectClass=orgPerson)(ob jectClass=inetOrgPerson))(groupMembership=cn=users ,ou=org,o=firma))
Group Filter: (&(|(objectClass=group)(objectClass=groupOfNames)( objectClass=groupOfUniqueNames))(|(cn=G4)(cn=TC*)) )
Do you use groups for the allowed users in teaming?
>>> lnijhuis<[email protected]> 14.01.2010 16:36 >>>
Thank you for your reply. I guess the comma's should be right. When i
change the first "ou=" in the Base DN to "cn=" the error message states
that the best it can do is reach
ou=OrganizationalUnit,dn=domain,dn=local. So i guess that shouldn't be
the problem?
By default there is a container "Users" in AD, which we don't use. The
person that configured the server created an OU on the same level as the
default container. THe name of this OU has a space in the name, like
"Organi Zation". This OU contains another OU called Users. This is where
the users are located. When i run the ldap query i don't get any errors
about the base DN. It does when i change it.
The full filter is:
(|(objectClass=Person)(objectClass=orgPerson)(obje ctClass=inetOrgPerson))

I recently ran into a problem with syncing my ipod touch to itunes on my Windows 7 pc. It had previously been synced to my older laptop
and I wanted to change to my newer Windows 7 laptop's itunes library that I had already been syncing with.
Anyway, I started seeing this message that prevents my from syncing:
The iPod "Bill's iPod" cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library
(additional 2.48 GB required)
Not sure if it is talking about my iPod free space or my PC itunes library free space. Either way I have 11.0 GB free space available
on my iPod and 412 GB free space available on my Windows 7 PC.
How do I handle this problem? Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ThanksIt is saying that the iPod does not have enough free storage to sync all the items yu have selected to sync to the iPod. You need 2.48 GB more free on the iPod. You need either to select less to sync or delete some content form the iPod.
