What is Sync?

It seems to me to be a rather straight-forward question. If you were writing a glossary for Firefox--which would be a really good idea, what would your glossary entry for Sync be?

from [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-set-up-firefox-sync How do I setup Firefox Sync?]
'''When you set up Firefox Sync on your computer, all of your data and preferences (such as your bookmarks, history, passwords, open tabs and installed add-ons) gets stored securely on the Mozilla servers. You can share all this information across all your devices. This article shows you how to set up Firefox Sync on your devices. '''
Not how I would have worded a description, but that article replaced the previous article entitled '''What is Firefox Sync?'''

How you delete content from your iPod depends how you have it set to update:
If you are updating automatically then delete the files from the iTunes library and next time you connect they will automatically be deleted from your iPod. Highlight the file and press the delete key on your keyboard, or right click and choose either Clear or Delete, depending on which version of iTunes you are using.
If you are updating manually, connect your iPod and click on the icon when it shows in the iTunes 7 source list click on the chevron > to the left of the iPod icon This will display the various icons for the iPod itself, Music, Movies, TV Shows and Playlists. Click on Music and you'll see the traditional song view. Find the files on your iPod that you want to remove, highlight them and delete directly.
To select multiple items such as all the songs in an album, click on the first track in the list hold down the shift key and click on the last track to highlight the selection. Then press the delete key.
To summarise, you start by highlighting the song/video/selection in either the iTunes library or on the iPod song list as displayed in iTunes then press the delete key on your keyboard: Deleting songs or playlists from your iPod

What is sync'ing?

This may sound stupid to some of you savvy iPoders but I do have a question: What does Sync do? Is it necessary for music/video/game enhancement? Thanks

Oh My GOD!!!! Thank you soooooo much. I did what you said and Tetris, which I had been having a hard time copying to my iPod, instantly downloaded. I don't have to do this with the music do I because my kids like different music than I do and we have all our music on one library folder? Thank you again for your help. It is truly appreciated.

What is sync speed limited by?

Assuming my line is all ok, what is sync speed limited by?
The reason i ask is im told my exchange and line is rated for 2 meg (which i was syncing at around 2.5), on sppedtest was getting 2 meg download...so all is looking well...but then randomly one saturday (about 2 weeks ago) i changed over a filter and disconnected the extension wiring, reset the home hub and synced at 3.9 meg, with a nice SNR of 5.9db. Obviously i was well impressed as my speed went up!
Why was this sync different? As im yet to get anywhere near that again?

It's essentially governed by the characteristics of the line. Even if the line is OK, it'll still have properties that could limit the possible speed to an extent. eg lines all attenuate the signal, even good lines.
There are other factors, "hard" caps for example can be imposed by the hardware, possibly due to the service you're buying. An "up to 8Mbps" service will never go faster than that, even if the line is capable.

Not really relevant to your question, but...while your line may well be "rated for 2 meg" the exchange will be capable of more than that. If you get anything less, it's due to one of the reasons above.
but then randomly one saturday (about 2 weeks ago) i changed over a filter and disconnected the extension wiring, reset the home hub and synced at 3.9 meg, with a nice SNR of 5.9db. Obviously i was well impressed as my speed went up!

On the face of it, it sounds as though either the filter or the extension wiring is causing some noise/interference on the line, which was slowing things down.
If this behaviour is consistent and repeatable, it should be fairly easy to find and eliminate the cause, which may give a very worthwhile improvement to your speed.

What is sync plugin?

Hi,
i have SDK in that i have sample folder my questions
what is sync plugin
how to use this please explain detail about sync manager concepts
how to open the sample progrmme in asp..net page.
Regards
Kannan.D

Hi Kannan,
The synch manager is a tool to setup, configure and run the synch of data between the Business One and Webtools database.
The Server Config screen sets the connections to the B1 and Webtools databases. The install plugin button creates the UDFs in Business One that are used to store the key values of associated data in the Webtools database.
The Settings screen defines various defaults necessary for synchronization and allows some synch methods to be ignored.
The Tables screen associates existing B1 data to Webtools data for required data which does not synchronize.
The Syncronization screen performs the initial synch of data from B1 to Webtools and allows the synch to be manually executed.
In Webtools 2007, Business One uses the PRX_Transaction_Queue to determine which data to synchronized to Webtools. This table is populated when inserts, updates or deletes are performed by B1 clients.
Webtools uses the TransactionQueue table to determine which data to synch. This is populated when data is inserted, updated or deleted on the website.
Both tables can be managed from the synch manager.
In new installations, the data must first be synchronized from B1 to Webtools. The "Initialize Synch" button deletes all data from the Webtools database and queues all B1 data into the PRX_Transaction_Queue.
The Windows Service screen sets the interval at which the synch takes place (in minutes) and stops/starts the service. The synch service is a windows service that runs the synchronization at the specified interval.

What is sync now ?

Hi What is sync now and how do you use it ? I am using Mountain Lion.
Thanks for you help.

In the Apple world, sync generally means plugging your iPhone, iPad, and/or iPod into iTunes on your Mac. That will coordinate your music and possibly other material between your Apple devices.

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your iPod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPod for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

How do I manually manage what to sync? iOS7-iTunes 11.1.1

Hi -
I purchased an audio book using my MBPro (running 10.8.5).
Now I want to move it to my iPhone5 (iOS 7.0.2).
So I open iTunes (11.1.1), plug in my iPhone and wait for the sync interface to show so I can manually select what songs, photos, audiobooks I want to the iPhone - but that interface is not to be found!
The only place I could find the word "iPhone" any where on the iTunes skin was the eject button.
The only menu items was under File/Devices where I got to choose "sync iPhone" - but that's it. No choices, no selections.
Itunes proceeded to back up the iPhone and "sync" but I had no chance to make any changes. I really dont know how much stuff got moved around.
I do know the new audiobook did not get moved to the iPhone.
What am I missing? Is there a new button somewhere that I didn't see?
Wnat is the proceedure for manually deciding what to sync FROM the Mac TO the iPhone??
TIA your help.

Once your iPhone starts its sync, do you see a small button showing your iPhone here?
Click that and you should see what you are looking for.

ITunes never remembers what to sync on all my devices

I sync my iPad 3, iPhone 4S, and iPod nano (6) all manually. Every time I plug one of them in to sync them, iTunes never remembers that to sync. If it's podcasts, I have to reselect which ones. If it's music or photos, I have to reselct the ones I want, confirm I want to delete the old and replace it with the "new", even if it's the same music or photos. Isn't there some sort of preference file that remembers what gets synced on a specific device? I have the latest OS on all devices and my iMac.

In preferences, Devices have you got Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically ticked

Cannot update my phone as message comes through "updating to iOS 7.0.4 requires at least 610 MB of free space on your iPhone. Please change your media sync options to make more storage available"
What media sync options? Where are they ? How do I change them?

Afraid, this doesnt help. I've already unselected about 100 iTunes, resynced, and I still get the same message about 610 MB needing to be deleted.
What is so magic about 610 MB as a number?
Is this anything to do with iCloud? I was on the free 20 MB offeruntil last month and then got downgraded to 5 because I could n't see the need for paying for extra Cloud space. Is this the reason why?

Have more miles ran in Itunes, than what are synced to my nike running account?

Hello everyone, I use an ipod nano generation 5 to run with. Ever since I installed itunes 10 to my pc I have experienced difficulties in transferring my runs from itunes to the Nike+ website. Under itunes it says that I have ran more miles than what my Nike+ account says I have. There are days that my info will not transfer from itunes to the website. For instance I ran 5 miles on Monday, March 4. I then ran another 4 on March 5th; and 4 on March 6th. However, nike+ is not recognizing my run on the 5th at all.
This is very frustrating to me and I would appreciate any help on this matter
Thank You Very Much

Hi ozzie329,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
I would suggest you transfer your iTunes purchases from the iPhone to the computer first.
Then in your iTunes library on the computer, find and remove the duplicates.
Then resync to your Nike.
Here are a few articles to help you do this ...
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library
iTunes 11 for Mac: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

What does sync with Foxfire mean?

What does Foxfire Sync mean? Can I use my Yahoo email account?

'''Firefox Sync''' is a browser synchronizer "system" which allows users to keep their Firefox web browser configured in the same way on different computers, devices, and operating systems. For instance, if a user adds a bookmark while being at home, the bookmark will be available the day after at office; along with many other types of personal data.

'''Can I use my Yahoo email account? ''' <br />
Yes, you can use your Yahoo email account username for your username / email address when you setup Sync.
