Using idisk ... failed sync .... BZ2_bzRead

i keep getting a failed sync message on both my macbook pro and mac pro. Doesn't matter if it's manual or auto... it just wont sync. These are both brand new macs that came preinstalled with osx leopard 10.5.2.
I checked the log file and saw this:
[2008/03/04 03:55:12.156] Starting manual sync of "nameofaccount_iDisk".
[2008/03/04 03:55:16.041] EXCEPTION: BZ2_bzRead (Unexpected EOF)
[2008/03/04 03:55:16.043] Peer ".Mac" is unable to sync. Not enough peers will be available to continue syncing.
[2008/03/04 03:55:16.043] Aborting sync of "nameofaccount_iDisk".
[2008/03/04 03:55:16.710] Sync of "nameofaccount_iDisk" encountered errors. (BZ2_bzRead (Unexpected EOF))
[2008/03/04 03:55:16.711] Last successful sync completed at (null).
[2008/03/04 03:55:16.711] Finished sync of "nameofaccount_iDisk".
what going on with this?

Try going into System Preferences->.Mac->Sync->Advanced and clicking "Reset Sync Data" and see if that helps. You could also try clicking the "Sign Out" button in the Account section of the .Mac pref pane. Restart. Then go back into System Preferences->.Mac and re-enter your .Mac info and see if that works. Other then that, I have no clue.
Good luck...

  • Using iDisk to "sync"

    I have just discovered the "syncing" feature on iDisk, and am left with a question that strikes me as too obvious to not have an explanation. If I want to sync documents, photos, videos and music (iTunes) between two computers, why shouldn't I save everything to my iDisk, and simply stop using all of those folders in my home folder?

    You should ask in the specific iDisk forum in the .Mac section, as iSync has nothing to do with iDisk or .Mac Syncing. iSync is for syncing Contacts and Calendars to supported mobile phones and PDAs.

  • Using iDisk to sync bookmarks from firefox??

    I do not like safari, I am just a fan of firefox. I tried using it for a while but it is just not the style for me. But, I like having my bookmarks synced with my iPhone, and that only is automated with safari. But I do backup to .mac syncing and I have got firefox extension foxmarks to upload to my idisk server to store firefox bookmarks. But it makes its own folder at /documents/firefox.xml I tried to change its path to /library/application support/bookmarks/bookmark.xml so that when safari synced with .mac, it would take the firefox bookmarks then sync that to my iphone.
    First off, does that make sense?
    Second off, is there anyway to do that? Because when i click upload in foxmarks it connects but then says error:forbidden. is there any way to allow myself access to that?
    Any help is appreciated, thanks!

    Yeah, download the new safari to your computer (the one you sync the phone to) and have it transfer your bookmarks from firefox. Then when you sync the phone the bookmarks should transfer.

  • Using iTunes to sync photos, ipad gets the frames but no image in them.

    When I use iTunes to sync photos or faces, the iPad shows the frames only, but no images.

    @Alan
    I have copied the photos under MyPictures on my PC.
    Basically it is the same, only that the limit above which iTunes is making nonsense is higher:
    - using the MyPictures folder on the PC, I can sync 500 photos from 12 folders in one block and eveything is fine.
    - using the external drive, I can sync only about 100 photos from 2 to 3 folders in one block or shot as you prefer
    BUT, and that is the problem, BUT in both cases, going above (in terms of # of photos and folders) leads to random outputs:
    - either I get a list of empty folders on the iPad with the message it failed to finish the sync
    - or all photos are copied but then are mixed up within different folders in which case (I do not even get an error message). With mixed up I mean the following: a portion of the photos from PC:folder1 let's say 10) are copied to iPad:Folder8 that already contains the photos of PC:folder8 and iPad:folder1 does not contain these 10 photos, so iPad:folder1 is smaller as the original PC:folder1 and iPad:folder8 is bigger as PC:folder8
    - or I get an error message within the copying process (-1401,-50, -1303)
    The difference in behaviour is the size that can be copied  in one shot to the iPad: bigger from the PC as from the hard disk drive attached to the PC.
    Does this means that the speed at which it can copy makes the difference? This would be  poor especially while thinking of iCloud Sync where the connection speed can be rather slow (for thousands of reasons).

  • Backup Assistant Service Failed - Sync state not supported by this operation

    I have a Samsung Stratosphere running Gingerbread 2.3.5.  Recently I tried to use the Backup Assistant app and it gave me the error message:
    Service Failed
    Sync state not supported by this operation
    How do I get it to work again?  I can't think of anything that could have caused this.  It worked when I first got the phone.

    I clicked on "backup my contacts" and they backed up--I see them.  Here is
    the strange thing:  the first person to get back to me told me to disable
    the app since it didn't work well with Android.  I did that.  Two days
    later, it started to back up.  Huh?????  Seems like it is inconsistent.
    So, do I just wait until it doesn't work again  (dumb question--what else
    can I do???).  Does this happen to others?
    Thanks so much.  I am new to Verizon and so far I am pleased and really
    like that you got back to me!!
    Sincerely,
    Fran

  • MY TREO 650 INFO is erased on Palm when using ISYNC & Hot Sync Manager Help

    MY TREO 650 INFO is erased on Palm when using ISYNC & Hot Sync Manager. The sync takes a very long time and eventually I get a message stating it has failed--any solutions?
    Thank You

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    What is the specific message displayed as it fails, and what does your HotSync log say about the failed event? Also, who is your wireless carrier and did they provide this particular device to you?

  • Can I use iCloud to sync two devices with different apples Ids?

    Can I use iCloud to sync two devices with different apple ID's

    What do you mean by "apple ID"?  There's an ID you can use at the iTunes store to buy songs, apps, etc.  there's an ID you can use for your iCloud account - the two can be different or the same. So which service are you referring to when you talk about an apple ID?

  • Can I use iCloud to sync my Logic folders between Macs?

    So, I'm looking for a way to keep my MacBook and iMac in sync with regards to Logic (Pro 9 - downloaded). I figure I want the following folders on a two-way sync:
    1) Application Support/Logic
    2) Application Support/GarageBand
    3) Audio/Apple Loops
    4) Audio/Impluse Responses
    5) My Logc folder in my Music folder
    Have been looking at iCloud recently but don't know if it'll do this. If not, know of any any decent software for this?
    Thanks.

    WorldOfWires is probably referring to the audio content found in their home folder, not the factory content.
    ~/
    Hopefully iCloud functionality will be added in the future.
    Currently I'm using ChronoSync to sync my ~/Library/Audio folders across machines.

  • HT4914 I have 25 GB of songs on my Ipod. I want to buy an IPAD. If I use ICloud to sync my music, will the IPAD use 25 gigs of space? I am trying to decide which I pad to get and 32 Gigs would be plenty, if the 25 gigs already on my Ipod do not count.

    I own an Ipod with 27 GB of music. I am considering an Ipad. If I use ICloud to sync my devices, will the new Ipad use 27 GB? The answer to this question will affect which GB size Ipad that I buy. Thanks!

    If you put the music on the ipad, then it will use the space.

  • How can I use iCoud to sync my Outlook calendar and contact from Parallesl?

    Before I switched to MAC, I used a PC and relied on Outlook for years.  Now that I use Paralles on MAC, I continued using Outlook.
    I have been using ITunes via a wire to sync calendar and contact info from Outlook also for years.
    With the launch of iCloud, I feel my way of syncing is outdated.  I have an IPad and tried to use iCloud to sync my calendar info to my phone, but didnt work.
    I was told that I could pick either method or but not both.  Technically, I could sync my Outlook info onto my iPhone first, and then turn on iCloud to synch those info to other iDevice right? Why didn't it work?

    I will address your second question.
    First, make sure your iPhone and iPad have absolutely identical Apple IDs.  If they do, use that Apple ID in Settings > iCloud on your iPhone to select the "Notes" option.  Lo and behold, all your iCloud notes should appear on your iPhone.

    On his phone, sign in Settings>iCloud and enable Mail so that he can have his own email address. Then add your account in Settings>Mail, Contacts & Calendars and enable Contacts and Calendars. They will then appear on his phone alongside any syncing he has set up. This will keep your emails separate, or you can add Mail as well so that you can both access that if you want. You can add his account in the same way on your phone and enable any data types you want to sync.

    On the iPod turn off iCloud for calender, contacts and other things (Settings>iCloud) and turn off automatic downloading for apps and books (Settings>Store).
    Aldso go to Settings Messages and Facetime and add her own email calling/messaging address and delete the Apple ID calling/messaging address.

    These are just playlists. The songs there are really not duplicates of the songs. They are just a different location for accessing them. Some playlists can be deleted, some cannot. Ones that are created by iTunes cannot be deleted. Ones that you create can be. The Recently Added and the 90's cannot.
