Unable to turn on IDisk syncing

How can this get turned on? I've tried about all I know to get it started and it kicks me offline. Any ideas?

You do not seem to have an iPod touch problem but you posted in the iPod touch forum.

How do I fix "File Sync - Unable to turn on iDisk syncing. Please try again later."

When I turn on my MacBook Pro, I get the message "File Sync - Unable to turn on iDisk syncing. Please try again later." I also get the message when I click on Mobile Me in System Preferences. I also get it when I try to open a Numbers file from my Drop Box files. When I click on iCloud in System Preferences and click on the Manage button, System Preferences freezes, and I must force quit it.
This has been going on for a long time. I have a Mac Desktop, and everything seems to be working perfectly. As far as I know all of my files remain synced.

iDisk died with MobileMe. It is no longer active, so it will not sync anymore. You can turn iDisk syncing off in your System Prefernces or update to Mountain Lion and the MobileMe section will be gone for good.

Unable to turn on auto sync using link for windows

When trying to select files to auto sync, I am unable to check the boxes. What can be causing this and how can I fix?

Hi dtomp79,
Welcome to the support community!
Which type of files are you trying to synchronize automatically? Media files or organizer data from Microsoft Outlook? Are you able to manually sync these files with the automatic sync check box not selected?
I look forward to your response.

Cannot shut-off iDisk syncing!!

I just tried about 10 times to go to .Mac (Tiger) preferences and turn OFF iDisk Syncing. I can set it for Automatic or Manual, but I canNOT turn it off. It keeps going back to "ON".
Why is this?

Hi Steve,
Aren't there some setting online when you browse to dotmac or dotme?
Did you save that list?

Unable to access my iDisk

Since sometime in mid June, I have been unable to access my iDisk. I believe it started shortly after applying 10.4.10. I had a local copy that kept saying "Sync Failed". It turn off my local iDisk and tried to re-establish it - no lock. I have removed files, rebooted, cleared keychain and many other suggestions from other posts. 3 days ago I updated my iBook to 10.4.10 and it started having the same problem. I took it to the Genius bar tonight and of course it started working!
But I had a nice conversation with the Genius who gave me a few suggestions to try for my G5. Well they don't work.
I cannot even get my iDisk to map without making a local copy!
(Go => iDisk => My iDisk or Go => iDisk => Other User's iDisk and enter my username and password)
Here's what is written to the SYSLOG after doing a fresh restart: (Note: the "Address in Use" errors)

My iphone 4s' screen is black, but it's still on and charging. I broke my lock screen button so I am unable to turn it off using the home button and lock button. Is there any other way my phone can restart or turn off ? Is my phone broken for sure?

Most intelligent people would not store such sensitive data on a device that could so easily be lost, stolen, or damaged. Even if they chose to do so, they would use the device as designed and regularly sync and backup that device as described in the User's Guide.
Have you done so? If you have, all of the data is either in iCloud or iTunes on your computer. Replace the device and restore the new iDevice with the backup of the old one.

Disappearing Webpages and iDisk syncing errors in Leopard

(1) I am having a problem that just started today. I installed Leopard on Oct. 29, I've had it for a couple of weeks. At first, I loved it, but new problems keep popping up every few days. I have an at-home business and I run Safari, Firefox and Safari Mail simultaneously to monitor two businesses. Safari hasn't been affected, so far, but Firefox and Mail will shut down spontaneously. It always happens after I leave my computer, so I don't know what actually happens. But when I come back all I have is my desktop but no webpages are open. The only way I can get them to re-open is to Restart the computer.
(2) Another problem that started last night is with iDisk sync. I get an error box stating that certain items were unable to sync. Always different items, but all are photos that are on iWeb or .Mac Homepage and have been there since Tiger. I have not changed or altered anything in my iDisk folders since installing Leopard.
The very first problem that I noticed after installing Leopard is that webpages are opening much more slowly than with Tiger. Evenings are always the slowest but it's never been as fast as Tiger. I'm on an ethernet cord, but that didn't speed things up at all from wireless.
Any help or fixes to these glitches will be much appreciated!
These are my browsers' stats and HD info.
Firefox v. 2.0.0.9
Safari Mail 3.0 (912.1/912)
Capacity: 232.44 GB
Available: 185.26 GB

Yep, I am getting this A LOT too. Hah! ..but not always. By one if those strange acts of synchronicity and after the 6th attempt and 3rd reboot this evening it just finished syncing whilst typing this message. Typical.
But it's been very temperamental and I have had it syncing for hours with no response after only changing a small file. Pretty frustrating - can't really rely on it anymore and am thinking of giving up on the stupid thing and going back to using a USB stick again.

.Mac iDisk syncing preventing reliable Restarts/Shut Downs in Leopard

I have been experiencing a Restart/Shut Down reliability issue with my new iMac and Leopard 10.5.1. This evening an Apple rep I know pointed me to a work-around in Apple Discussions:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5957261&#5957261
This thread notes the discovery by one user that iDisk automatic syncing is not working reliably, and is preventing consistent restarting/shutting down of your Mac. Although, syncing has been working reliably for me both for .Mac stuff, and the iDisk itself, if you do a Get Info on your iDisk it reports, at least for me, that its capacity is 1TB, with 466GB available. I have only the standard 10GB .Mac account, and only 5GB of that is allocated to my iDisk, so something is clearly amiss with the .Mac iDisk setup, as being reported from the .Mac server. If you check your Console logs, you may also see this recurring error message, which is reporting a syncing error, although my syncs have, as I've said, been working correctly:
11/25/07 9:11 PM FileSyncAgent192 MKCOL /.FileSync (FAILED), httpStatusCode:405, errorType:100, transactionState:5, txnId:3846B904-9ABB-40E5-9928-B9233FAC05D2, auto-retries=0, manual-retries=0
To summarize, if you turn off automatic iDisk syncing in your System Preferences/.Mac/iDisk preference pane, you'll have no problems restarting/shutting down. You may also need to do the power management reset (turn off Mac, unplug all devices and power for 15 seconds, reconnect, and start up) and the parameter RAM reset (reboot while holding down the cmd-opt-P-R keys). You can do this in one restart cycle, if you like. After that, restarts/shutting down has worked perfectly for me.
Of course, I actually USE my iDisk, and will be leaving it on. But, at least I know now how to work around the restart/shut down issue.
I hope Apple adds this fix to their 10.5.2 update next month.
Note: This is such an important issue, that in addition to adding it to a reply in another Shut Down thread, I thought I'd post it as a separate topic here.

MacOS X updates have resolved this issue.

IDisk Sync Issues

A couple problems which I can solve:
- iDisk on Desktop has my username listed instead of 'iDisk'. In sidebar it still says 'iDisk')
- iDisk on Desktop reports incorrect size (out by huge orders of magnitude).
- some files on my own iDisk can't be deleted as I don't 'have permission' (eg. 'About your iDisk.rtf')
I've:
- reset .Mac syncing
- reset iDisk syncing (same problems)
- checked the hard disk and permissions (all OK)
- the permission on the problem files should allow me FULL access, yet it gives these errors...
Please sort out this stuff, Apple...
Thanks,
Paul Martin

A disclaimer: I don't use iDisk myself.
But WebDAV is a Web Publishing protocol. Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning.
I'm under the impression that it's what is used for iWeb publishing on .mac, I suppose that it could also be used for iDisk as well. It requires authentication to publish, usually. If they've horked something up on their end and you're unable to authenticate or your network connection isn't good, this could cause problems with that. If it uses your keychain to authenticate, and uses SSL, which I would assume that it does, I have some ideas.
I was having problems connecting to SSL sites at *.apple.com and other places since 10.5.0, the solution in this discussion: [http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1272177]. Based on your problem and this solution, I'm going to guess that you're on DSL, that WebDAV is what iDisk is based on, using SSL to communicate with iDisk for at least authentication, and likely moving files back and forth as well. That's a lot of guessing, and I may be wrong in any one or more places.
Most of my problems have been cleared up by this. Changing the MTU on the ethernet connection that gets you out to the internet isn't the favored solution, and may disappear if your computer sleeps and wakes back up or reboot (if you haven't hacked some system files to reinitialize this setting).

My iPhone 4S keeps losing connection and turning off, and i am unable to turn it back on again without the charger, but it turns on when i press the button and regains signal fine once i return home?

Hi
I have recently bought a white iPhone 4S on Tuesday, and it has been repeatedly loosing all connection and just suddenly switching off.
When this happens I am unable to turn the phone back on again without a power source plugged into it. When I try to remove the phone from the power source it goes completely dead again.
However, the most recent time this has happened (today), as soon as I returned home the phone had no problem starting up as normal when I pressed the power button.
The signal was working fine even though it says 'searching' in the left hand top corner of the screen. I am wondering if my WIFI at home is influencing the phone to work inside the household?
This is a problem that needs to be sorted out ASAP because the phone is not working the majority of the time when I need it to.
Please if you have any suggestions or know the cause of this problem inform me straight away.
Would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Try connecting it to your iTunes library in Recovery Mode and restoring it. See this article for help on getting your iPod into Recovery Mode.

Just updated to IOS 7 and two issues: First when I connect my iPhone to my computer I get this error message:itunes was unable to provider data from sync services".

Just updated to IOS 7 and two issues:
First when I connect my iPhone to my computer I get this error message:itunes was unable to provider data from sync services". I'm not sure what this really means...
The second issue is when I try to select "Manually Manage Music"
The iPhone "My iPhone" is synced with another iTunes libary on "MY-PC". Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library? An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."
So... I don't want to do that, but I do what to be able to Manage my music. I'm not sure what it means by being synced to another iTunes unless it means to an older version of itunes?
Anyone have any ideas?

I cannot address the sync services error right now, but the error that you receive when you change from sync to manually manage music is what happens when you change. Once you change to manually manage music, it erases all of the music and will only put the music that you want on the phone, content that you manually drag over to it. See if this support document helps you out. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535

How do i deactivate a device through icloud if the device is broken and i am unable to turn on find my iphone? Also i do not own a apple id as ive been using a family members due to problems when trying to make one?

Hey tyjox,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you need to deactivate Find My iPhone on a device that does not work. You will need to work with the family member of the account the iPhone is registered with. I would recommend that you use this article to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
