Touch and sync related issues due to write protected photo's

i had a problem where the photo's in the directory that the touch was pulling from were write protected. once sync'd the ipod gets an error every time thereafter seemingly becuase the files synced were write protected. if you turn of the sync photo's option, the photo's remain so that does not help. so i had to do a restore of my ipod touch. a few comments about this process. turning of automatically sync when connected does nothing (and either does {ctrl}{Shift} when connecting). for some reason, if a "verify" starts on the ipod, even if you delete the sync history, it must verify. this makes no sense since you will have to wait hours (as i did) for the verify to complete just to restore the ipod. the next morning when i actually told the system that it was a new ipod instead of restoring from backup (which i assume would only put the write protected photo's back on the ipod) i did all the settings again, etc. painful! this bug needs to be fixed. write protected files should not screw up your ipod or syncing. one final question, are there and licensing ramifications on a restore with a new setup (instead of from backup)? the older ipod name still shows in devices. is it safe to delete the backup at this point?
thanks

I do not recall anyone else specifically mentions this but other users have reported problems with wifi sync and maybe that was the reason.

  • An unknown error occurred -54 in itunes this happened after i'd bought new iPod touch and synced it to my iTunes can you not have two iPods on iTunes account??

    Please help i bought a new ipod touch and synced it to my itunes account so i had both ipod touch's on it and now i have an error flashing at me and i don't know what to do??

    == Error -54 ==
    From an OS9 reference, error -54 is a software lock on a file or a permissions error. (Some of the old codes still apply to OSX although there is no formal list of OSX error codes.)
    First, try simply restarting your computer.

  • I just Synced My iPhone 6 which had close to 2000 photos to a new computer (windows PC) and synced with iTunes.Now all my previous photos have been deleted which were there on my phone. Please suggest a way to recover those Photos . Thanks

    I just Synced My iPhone 6 which had close to 2000 photos to a new computer (windows PC) and synced with iTunes.Now all my previous photos have been deleted which were there on my phone. Please suggest a way to recover those Photos . Thanks
    P.S -I have not taken any backup of those photos. So please suggest any software or any other method.

    If those photos were part of the camera roll, they were part of the backup as well and you can restore from the latest backup you made on the old computer. After that transfer the photos to the new PC, follow this article: iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    Then sync again to the new one, which will erase the phone again.
    You can also try to copy the backup folder from the old computer to the new one and see if the old backups get recognized, check this article to find the location on your PC:
    Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes
    If the photos were not taken with the phone, your data is gone, photos you sync from iTunes to the phone are not included in the backup.

  • IOS8 sync and other related issues

    So far, I am not very impressed with the latest iOS8 software update for iPhone and iPad. There seems to be a definitive inability to sync data between my Iphone5s and 32G iPad ii. This applies to both Apple and third party apps. For instance, PDFs are not syncing between the two devices within iBooks. Several individuals have commented that photos are not syncing - I am having the same issue. Some third party apps are also unable to sync between devices. MSecure is one of these. I have sent notes to make urge tech support, and have not received a response. In short, there seems to be something very wrong with ios8 Based on the number of comments being posted. I sincerely hope this gets fixed soon as it puts the dependability of iCloud and syncing between multiple devices in jeopardy. For what it's worth, I had no issues with sun functionality prior to the update.

  • Outlook Contacts "invalid entryid" error after edit on iPod Touch and sync

    There are a few threads about this in the iPhone discussion, but so far nothing on the iPod Touch side and I'm encountering it in both Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007 after testing on two different computers.
    Issue:
    1. Create or edit a contact on the iPod Touch
    2. Sync with Outlook Contacts
    3. You are no longer able to access the added or edited contact's e-mail address when composing e-mail. If you select the contact's properties from the e-mail interface, you receive an error message that an "invalid entryid was passed."
    My discovery:
    Deleting data from the "Display as" field in the Contact will fix the problem.
    1. In the Contacts folder, open the contact with the problem.
    2. Delete all data from the "Display as" field (displays with Email field).
    3. Select any other field on the Contact form - "Display as" will automatically re-populate
    4. Save the contact. Problem solved.
    Not sure how iTunes sync is corrupting this, but thought I'd share the discovery since suggestions in the iPhone discussion involve exporting, deleting, and importing affected contacts.

    Quick fix method for those who really can't be bothered with any manual methods. Below is a macro for Outlook that will, starting with the currently selected contact folder and including subfolders (mobileme groups), reset all email display names which effectively fixes the EntryID issue. There's no error checking, it's pretty raw but does the job. Hope it helps.
    <STARTMACROCODE>
    Option Explicit
    Sub FixEntryIDs()
    Call FixEntryID
    End Sub
    Sub FixEntryID(Optional ByVal contacts As folder)
    Dim item As ContactItem
    Dim subf As folder
    Dim changed As Boolean
    If IsMissing(contacts) Or contacts Is Nothing Then
    Set contacts = ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder
    End If
    For Each item In contacts.Items
    changed = False
    If Len(item.Email1DisplayName) Then
    changed = True
    item.Email1DisplayName = ""
    End If
    If Len(item.Email2DisplayName) Then

  • Dual display color and other related issues...

    I have posted this on painter forums, though some of the issues coming together here are directly related to issues w/ Snow Leopard and dual displays. Thought I would try here....
    This is so bizarre. When I ever I run P11(I think this is going on in P10 too?) w/ the OS X (snow leopard, 10.6.2 on quad core Intel Xeon Mac Pro, 10 GB of RAM) menu bar on my Eizo(making it the main display), and the Apple Cinema display left as the #2 monitor, I get very annoying brush cursor artifcats left randomly on the Eizo screen after strokes. One cannot predict when the cursor will leave it's gray "marks", but it will do it, sometimes 5 strokes in a row, sometimes after 15 strokes or so? If I move my brush back over them, or change the image percantage view, they vanish, obviously new ones coming back, as I work.
    However I put the OS menu bar on the AC display, yet work back on the Eizo, this does NOT happen. No cursor artifacts. Well, at least I can summon the issue
    The reason I am doing this is Snow Leopard has bad color issues w/ dual displays (well documented, much to Photoshop CS4 users frustrations, and mine). Apple needs to fix it... but for me to see the right color on the Eizo(this is my main color and superior display), it needs to be the main monitor(menu bar) in 10.6.2.
    So, you can see my trap - Accurate color, or annoying cursor artifacts left on the screen (sorry, it really bugs me as I work) as I work in Painter.
    Attempted fixes: Trashed all of Painter's prefs, all of Wacom's Intuos 4(latest driver) prefs and software, switched plug ins on the back of the mac for the displays(lots of restarts), ran cache cleaning Cocktail and DiskWarrior, etc. -- no change, as I can duplicate the issue w/ the above set up. A sidebar or maybe be very related note: I have an iMac w/ max amount of ram (model not very old -- maybe 1 or 2 old) and I have had a long standing issue working on the iMacs we have had w/ this brush cursor artifact problem (in Leopard and Snow Leopard). I am on one monitor w/ the iMac, so you know here the menu bar is...hmmmmmmmm.....?
    Thanks!, T

  • Can't log off/restart, and other related issues.

    I wrote the following with a lot of detail, intending to give it straight to Apple... but I don't think they have an option for that. Let me know if I'm wrong. Also, excuse my numbering scheme - it was trimming out my spaces and I wanted to preserve the layout somehow. =[
    This all starts with my MacBook having been on for is that, when I open my MacBook and it comes back from sleep, I see the usual black screen. It brings up the unlock dialog, but that disappears almost instantly. Neither moving the cursor nor pressing keys brings it back. However, sleeping the laptop again and then reopening it shows the dialog normally. However, after then, I've noticed the following other symptoms after that point (until restart):
    1) Gmail Notifier (in the menu bar) stops updating, even when "Check now" is clicked manually. Restarting the program doesn't fix this.
    2) Screensaver doesn't come on automatically or with hot corner, only when "test" is pressed in the screensaver preference.
    3) Not closing applications before logging out or shutting down produces an error (after a delay of a couple minutes) about the OS not being able to close the applications. However, they all appear to be closed (no white dot, right clicking on them doesn't show "Not Responding"). At that point, opening the programs and closing them manually seems to prevent the error message for that program. Then, ... (see next item)
    4) Even if all applications are closed manually beforehand, it doesn't shut down or log off. A few observations:
    a) Everything but the dock goes disappears.
    b) Dashboard/expose/desktop hot keys and keyboard shortcuts still work.
    c) Clicking a dock item brings the menu bar back, but doesn't reactivate Finder (or show the desktop icons, consequently).

    I'm having this exact same problem, except I don't use GMail Notifier. The being unable to log out, shut down, or restart issue I've had intermittently in the past; the broken screensaver is new.

  • Switched from PC to Mac and syncing iPhone issues

    I switched from a PC to a Mac computer and now my iPhone 4th generation will no longer sync to iTunes.  Any suggestions?

    Is you computer authorized for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the apps (in iTunes>Store>Authorize This Computer)?   Did you check "Sync Apps" on the apps tab of your iTunes sync settings and check the apps you want to sync?
    For contacts, are you trying to sync your contacts with a supported program on your computer such as Outlook?  Did you check to do so on the Info tab of your iTune sync settings?  Caution: be sure not to sync with an empty contacts or calendar app or you will lose both.  Be sure there is at least one contact and one calendar event on your computer prior to syncing, which will trigger a merge or replace prompt when you sync (choose merge).

  • Ipod Touch  and Griffin Navigate issue

    I recently upgraded my 16GB Touch to the Gen3 version. The problem is when I use my Griffin Navigate I receive a " Device is not Compatible" message. I had no problems when my Touch was Gen 2. Any HELP would be greatly appreciated. I talked to Griffin support and they had me try a Home/Sleep reboot with no result but the same non-compatible message THANKS

    I don't see any reason why the Road Trip would not work. I use a Road Trip with a 30 gig iPod Video. Both Pods are 2.4 inches in width and both Pods have their ports on the bottom of the pod (centered). There is only 2/10 of an inch different in height and I don't see where that would matter. The Touch is a little thinner so we may need a little thicker padding (the Road Trip came with a pad to keep a 30 gig iPod video snug, the 60 gig is a little thicker) to keep it snug. I'm pretty sure I had read that the port on the Touch will plug into all iPod accessories. The Griffin web site show a universal transmitter to be used with the Touch but I still think it will work and will let you know as soon as my Touch gets here.

  • KMC_WF_SUBSTITUTE and HRUS_D2 relation: Issues in "Take Over"

    Hello All,
    User B  is getting an error while taking over tasks for a "Fill in for me" from User A,A1,A2.
    The end users A,A1,A2 has set user B to be the "Fill in for me" using the RMPS_SET_SUBSTITUTE report in ECC.
    When the user B navidates to Portal UWL --> Manage Substitution Rules" and tries to  "Take Over" the tasks, he gets an error of "Duplicate key exception, Error returned from Provider".
    If i look at the HRUS_D2 table, the 4 entries are as below for User B
    HRUS_D2 Table Starts,

    100       User B           User A3         01.07.2011 31.12.9999

    Appreciate if any one can provide insights in to this issue.

    Hello Karri,
    Thanks for the reply. I did check for the circumstances in which this error occurs. It occurs for all tasks which are substituted to this user B. Even when the assignor tries to assign task ( Fill in for me) through "Manage Substitution Rules" in UWL for "All Tasks" to this user id , it does not allow the rule to be set . It however does  allow for some other user id for "All Tasks"
    It however does allow substitute assignment from RMPS_SET_SUBSTITUTE for the same user id and can see the "Take Over" in UWL.But when the user B tries to "take Over" , it throws the same error.
    There seems to be no errors in default trace other than the "Duplicate Key exception" for this user B.
    Looks to me like some data problem in tables KMC_WF_SUSBTITUTE/HRUS_D2 for this specific user id.

  • Lightroom and preview cache and other related issues.

    So I went to open up LR on Friday afternoon (1/30/15) and it wouldn't open. I can't think of anything I had done differently to it, nothing new with my computer. But when I clicked to open it, I got a screen that read, "The Lightroom catalog named 'Lightroom 5 Catalog' cannot be opened because another application already has it opened." I sought some outside advice. I made sure there was nothing even open in the task manager (after having already shut down and re-booted my computer a couple of times) and then opened my most recent backup catalog. I also deleted the "lock" file.
    I was then able to import new photos to LR, but noticed that one folder was missing--the one from 1/29/15. That is likely the last folder I was working in before this whole mess started. After doing some clicking, I could see that those pictures were still in a catalog and on my hard drive, but I could not open a catalog with them in it. If I tried, I got a screen that read, "Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit."  On the advice of a computer guy and with the reassurance that I can always restore if necessary, who told me to delete the preview cache file. I thought that's what I did, but now I'm not sure. I deleted a huge file folder entitled "Lightroom 5 Catalog previews.lrdata.  This did allow me to open LR, but I had a few days' worth of missing folders and decided to restore what I had just done and seek advice again. Now I'm being asked this if I want to merge the deleted folder with a previews folder from 8/23/13.
    Do I want to merge these? The August 2013 date is about the time I purchased LR. I have done nothing since seeing this.  So I first ask if I should merge these and restore the files OR just keep the deleted previews folder in the recycle bin, then have LR find the missing folders.  And secondly, what the heck happened to make this happen in the first place?  Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

    Thank you for your reply.  Very simple and helpful!
    However, I am now a bit lost as my catalog is messed up.  I am missing folders in the catalog that I have open.  When I helped LR find them on my hard drive, I got a popup question that read, "The selected folder or one of its subfolders is already in Lightroom.  Do you want to combine these folders.  I clicked "Merge" and then the folder completely disappeared from the list of folders.  I still see it in the correct place on my hard drive, but I can't get to it from LR now.  I assume those missing folders (and another folder full of pics I imported but now don't see listed in the catalog) are in another catalog as I think I have been working with the backup catalog that I opened at the beginning of this whole mess.  Can you help me get everything current and in one catalog again?  Thank you.

  • Recently I have not been able to post comments and other related issues.

    On some websites like Reddit.com I am usually no longer able to post in comment boxes. I can type my comment in the box, but hitting save clears the box and no comment is posted (oddly, i noticed that the comment ends up at the end of the url).
    Or use the cursor to click on up and down vote arrows. When I mouse over the arrow, it changes to a hand with pointed finger, but clicking the link does nothing.
    Or post photos.
    Normally I use Firefox 29.0.1 (which I have been using a long time and do not want to change). But the problems I mention here apply to both browsers, depending... on other things I cannot control or figure out. But at the moment, I can use links for comments etc. on IE8 (cannot update), but not on FF.
    I've asked Reddit help but so far nobody has replied (r/bugs and r/help).

  • Documentation and object-related issues

    There is no way to automatically document BRFplus rules. We are investigating into this area. Maybe as an addition to NW 703 / 731 (in an SP) we will provide some kind of report generation tool. However, as of today no commitments can be given.
    With NW 703/731 the documentation field when filled results in an icon and menu entries shown for the objects at the place of usage (e.g. expression in a rule).
    You cannot pass instances of classes as of today. What you can do with the call procedure is to call static methods and function modules. In such a method you may access any ABAP memory and return the data to BRFplus.
