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.

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.

Do you have both the OS X and iOS versions of each of them?

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.

Bought my hubby an iphone4 and I registered it and opened an apple account for him. I have an iphone 5 (under my own Apple account). I use icloud to sync calender and contacts with outlook 2007. How do I add my hubby's phone (account) to icloud ?

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.

Bought a new Ipod for daughter for Xmas. How can I use ICLOUD to sync Itunes only to her IPOD

Bought a new Ipod for daughter for Xmas. How can I use ICLOUD to sync Itunes only to her IPOD and not everything else on my iphone etc?

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.

How can I take music from an USB and transfer it to the iPod? It tells me use use itunes to sync but the music is on an USB drive. It had worked in the past. Tks

How can I transfer music from an USB drive to the iPod. I can see the music and play it on the computer, but the iPod tells me to use iTunes to sync. The music is not on iTunes. It has worked in the past.....tks

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.

Is there any way to add a digital copy movie to an iPhone without syncing with my iTunes library? I use iCloud to sync, not iTunes. So when I go to sync movies, it deletes the other ones I already have loaded on the iPhone. Thanks.

Error from BPE Adapter using in Async Sync scenario

Hi,
I'm trying to use a Asyn Sync pattern with BPM:
1)File adapter get a file from AS400, split it several XML messages and send to XI(Async)
2)XI get each message and forward to BPM using XI adapter
3)BPM has to send the message to R/3 via BAPI (Sync)
4)R/3 reply the result message to BPM(Sync)
5)BPM has to send the result message to e-mail system if an error had occurred in BAPI call (Async)
When I send directly from File adapter to R/3 works like a charm, but when I want use the BPM, a soap header error says to me, that cannot identify a data type that Im using in the message sent by File adapter.
The error that I'm getting is BPE Adapter UNKNOWN_MESSAGE in soap header.

I got the same problem after installing new patches.
This is what I had to do:
Go to SXI_CACHE
- Choose Business Processes
- select your Buisness Process
If your buisness process has Return Code 99
- Click "Repeate Activate" button
- On the next screen, click Activate again.
This worked for me. Good Luck!

My hard drive & mother board had to be replaced, I am trying to setup my laptop & trying to re-sync but it will not let me use my old sync key, how do I reactivate using old sync key???

I have my old sync key, but it keeps saying that it is the wrong one every time I try to setup the sync option...how do I clear out what is currently on there so I can use my old sync key and get my original info back?

When you go to set up Sync - '''''I already have a Sync account''''', then in the next window use '''''I don't have the device with me'''''
As you type the Sync Key, don't type the hypens between the alpha / numeric characters.
