Selectively Prevent Certain files from Syncing?
I have some enormous mp3 files (~300MB) in my iTunes library (ambient background sounds that I use with my cans) And I would like to prevent these from auto syncing with my ipod.
I am aware of two methods of doing this, however neither of these methods really do what I want.
1. Have unchecked songs not sync to ipod.
- This is what I typically use to selectively keep stuff on my 8GB nano, however the problem is that I am effectively no longer able to use these unchecked songs in iTunes like in playlists or shuffle mode, unless I specifically double-click on the file. Most importantly the files wont repeat even if that option is selected, and the file is manually double clicked.
2. Manually Manage songs on ipod.
- This is a real drag, considering that I only have 5~6 files that cause issue due to their colossal file size.
Are there any other exclusion methods that I am unaware of?
Thanks for the help.
You could just put all the music you want synced to your ipod into a playlist and tell your ipod to just sync to that playlist.

How do I prevent offline files from syncing accross WAN
I have multiple sites connected via smaller WAN links (1.5 meg). I am trying to prevent any Offline Folder Syncing across the WAN.
When users travel to other sites there is an issue where their laptop wants to sync their MyDocs folder across the WAN. Since the user has several Gig of Data at the remote site this could take all day and can consumes all of our bandwidth between
the sites. This doesn't happen unless the users have their MyDocs folder set to 'make available for Offline Use'.
The users MyDocs folder is automatically redirected to a network file server at the users main location.
I have tried setting the Network Transparency to 64 ms (64) but that doesn't seem to help. Normal latency between sites (based off of a ping) is 75-100 ms (unless under heavy load).
Do you have any suggestions or recommendations? I tried looking at the below technote but I couldn't seem to get a setting that made this issue go away.
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff633429(v=ws.10).aspx#BKMK_EnablingTransparentCaching
Any help you can offer will greatly be appreciated.
Thank youHi,
The article you looking at is not for preventing the offline file sync. So what's your requirement? If you don't want the offline file sync, just disable the it in the sync center:
1. Open the Control Panel, click on the Sync Center icon.
2. In the left pane, click on the Manage offline files link.
3. Click on the Disable offline files button.
4. Click on OK and restart the computer(see screenshot below).
If you want to sync the offline file, the guide you refer is the optimal solution for you. Since your file is too big. However, I suggest you sync it completely if you really need it when slow network or disconnection from the Server. It won't copy
the whole file every time. It just sync the new version of the file when it checked the file has be changed.

Preventing certain file types from being displayed in a directory listing
Someone before me used this code to create simple directory
listings for our
users to maintain certain sections of the site...
http://www.asp101.com/samples/viewasp.asp?file=dir_list.asp
My question is, can some additional code be added or change
to prevent
certain files from showing up in the list.. like the
default.asp and so
on...

Why can't I delete certain files from my Time Capsule?
I don't have my Time Capsule set up to back up every hour or so. It's set up so that I can manually drag & drop files into it. I've been trying to free up space by deleting some movie files that don't need anymore. They appear to be just .avi format but I haven't been paying close enough attention to see if any other formats won't delete. What prevents certain files from being deleted from the Time Capsule?

If you copy a new file into each of the higher-level folders down to and including the "MOVIES" folder, can you then delete that new file?
If you're willing to use a command in a Terminal session, I can tell you how to determine what process has a file open.

How do I select only certain songs from itunes library to upload to my iphone?
Trying to free up some memory and my whole itunes library is loaded on my phone. Is there a way to select only certain songs to sync with my phone?
When your iphone is connected to iTunes, go to the phone section, go to options and then select "Sync only checked songs and videos". Then go to yotur iTunes music library, and check only the songs you want. If you are viewing the library in the "songs" option the check boxes are next to the songs. If you are viewing from the "album" view, you have to right-click each song and select check.

Delete certain files from backup
Is it possible to:
1) backup my iPhone (locally with my iTunes on Win7), I CAN DO THIS, of course
2) delete only certain files from the backup (there are many tools for exploring backup, but I have not found anyone which can also delete certain file, only view and export), I CAN LOCATE THE BACKUP DIRECTORY and see the files, but is it possible to locate those that I'd like to delete and simply erase them?
3) restore my iPhone with such an altered backup?
Thank you
Kamil
PS: I need to delete certain files from var directory, but I do not have root access, so this seems to be the only solution (I do not want to jailbreak and also I do not want to start from zero, I mean to make factory reset and then to set up everything again)Maybe you should try to install it and try it yourself.
You can edit sql databases (delete some records e.g. from call history), but you cannot delete files in the folders (.jpegs, .plist etc.).
I tried to export only files, that I wanted to recover, then I have made factory reset of my iPhone, made new local backup of the empty reseted device. Then I tried to import to this empty backup those exported files, but it is also not supported. Only files which already exist in the current backup can be imported. It means that you cannot remove or add file into the backup, you can only modify it - with this tool certainly.
Let us try it with another question: is it possible to make selective restore (to restore only certain settings, call history, SMS's, files...,) but not the whole backup?
Thank you for your effort. -
Prevent OST file from being excluded from workstation backups
Is there a way to prevent OST files from being excluded from client/workstation backups in WS2012E?
Thanks,
Reg
This is especially a problem for clients that have migrated to Office 365 exchange service as they have no local backup of emails that were deleted and think synced with Office 365.
Reginald HookOST files are not a local backup, they are a cache of what is in the mailbox.

How do I prevent iTunes 11 from syncing apps with my devices?
I want to be able to sync music to my iPad and iPod but I do not want to store their apps on my computer. Since iCloud remembers which apps I own, this is (in my mind) unnecessary. How do I prevent iTunes 11 from syncing my apps? This did not use to be a problem because in iTuens 10 it was an option. Now it seems that it isn't.
Cate Kurtis wrote:
Well, in fact the application stopped opening automatically for no reason that is clear to me. For about 5 days after I updated the software it opened automatically when I plugged in or unplugged my phone. Then it suddenly stopped. All I did between the last automatic open and the time that it ceased was, in the options window, uncheck the "manually manage music and videos" option and then check it again without clicking "apply" and also checking "sync only checked songs and videos" and unchecking again without clicking apply.
I can't really recall now, but I thought that I played around with those settings and no matter what, I never saw the Option for Automatically Sync when Connected in iTunes.
I can think of no reason why this would halt the automatic opening but it has definitely stopped. Yet I still don't have the option listed in the options window to "prevent itunes from opening automatically when device is connected."
This is all very strange to me but I can think of nothing to pursue it further.
I can't think of any reason why it would trigger that behavior and of the other 170+ views that this discussion has received, I suppose that nobody else had anything to offer either.
I can't think of anything else to pursue it further either and as long as it is working the way that you want it to work now, I can't think of any need to pursue it further. -
The iPhone "iPhone" cannot be synced. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation. is preventing my iPhone from syncing. How do I fix it? I have changed permissions until blue in the face. What is going on? Why is this so hard? I just want to sync my phone.
A little background. My iTunes library is in a shared folder. My Aperture library is on a .DMG in the shared folder with "ignore permissions on this volume" checked. I have added myself with read and write privileges to everything that I can find. What gives? Thanks in advance.PC, windows7, iphone4, updated iphone (5.0.1) and itunes (10.5.2.11) software. Started getting "iphone cannot be synced. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation" message.
Solution I found that worked: Uncheck "Sync photos from Iphone" in Itunes / Devices / Photos tab. -
Prevent .pdf files from automatically downloading in e-mail
How do you prevent .pdf files from automatically downloading in an e-mail message with an Exchange account?
Yes, that's a plausible explanation.
Never having locked a Numbers document, I don't have first hand experience.
I put my sensitive documents in an encoded disk image file. Less bother. But then, I'm not e-mailing sensitive documents or otherwise exposing them.

How to prevent certain Users from deleting a resource while in the project?
We are currently using P6.2 client; We are setting up a new resource dictionary and have been searching to find a way to prevent certain users from deleting resources while in the project. Is there a way to do that? I have created Global profiles and Project profiles under the Admin security profile and have tried clicking off of rights to delete a resource but when I log into as that user I can still delete the resource. Please Help!
Are you talking about preventing users from deleting resource assignments within a project? Or preventing them from deleting resources from the global resource dictionary?
For global resource dictionary in Global Profile you would turn off:
-Delete Resources
And likely:
-Add resources
-Edit Resources
-Edit Roles
-Edit Resource Calendars
For resource assignments on activities in Project Profiles you would turn off:
-Add/Edit Project Activities Except Relationship
Note: this will disable more then just the ability to alter resource assignments. -
I recen't bought my daughter an iphone 4 and I have a 5. I want to prevent my contacts/email ect from syncing to her phone (and hers to mine) but still have all the apps and other things sync. Is there a way to do this? We have the same itunes and icloud account. I'm not sure if they are the same thing or completely seperate entities. I'm pretty apple illiterate and really need instructions in layman's terms. LOL
A couple of options:
Create a new AppleID for her and set up iCloud on it. Login to that account on her device (Settings app > iCloud) but leave the iTunes&App Store account as is. (I have this set up on my wife's iPhone).
OR
If either of you do not need to synch items, turn them off in icloud (Settings App > iCloud). Emails should not synch unless you have the same email accounts set up (Settings App > Mail,Contacts,Calendars) -
I want to do a clean install of maverick on my 2010 mbp. I need to know what disk to use and also how i take certain files off my external hard drive and put on my computer. When I was having problems with my airport they did a clean install and they pulled files of my time machine. however they forgot to put the partition back in for a windows side. Originally I had Parellels on my computer. After my external hard drive got corrupted i called apple and they fixed the problem but didn't have me set up the time machine except for the external hard drive. Now my only back up is from the external not from the laptop. I am not sure how to do any of this. I am not computer savvy...PLEASE I NEED HELP>
First, you need to make a backup of your MBP onto your external drive. I suggest you start by cloning your MBP drive to the external drive:
Clone Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion using Restore Option of Disk Utility
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
button.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
to the Destination entry field.
5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
the Source entry field.
6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
This clone is fully bootable and also contains a clone of your Recovery HD.
Second, you need to do a clean install of OS X onto your MBP as follows:
Install or Reinstall Mavericks or Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should accomplish your goals. You will have a clean install of OS X on your MBP and a bootable clone of your old system and all your files on the external drive.
