Windows 8 - "Make Available Offline" option missing. Went to Control panel- Sync Centre clicking "Manage offline files" Does nothing.

Hello I am running Windows 8 Single Language Edition.
I tried to Make a NAS folder available offline by right clicking on the folder. But "Make Available Offline" option is missing.
Then went to Control Panel->Sync Centre clicking "Manage offline files" does nothing.
How to fix my issue?
Thanks,
Simon Mandy

Hi Simon,
Regarding to this issue, please refer to this article:
User Cannot Make Files and Folders Available Offline
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc978347.aspx
Please also check if Offline Settings is enabled from NAS folder. Folder-> properties -> Advanced sharing on sharing tab -> Caching.
Hope this could be helpful. Keep post.

Ethernet option missing in Appletalk control panel

We recently picked up some Power Mac 5200/LC's to add to our existing Macs. Some of them have OS 7.5 and some have 7.6.1 but they all have ethernet cards. The ones with 7.6.1 have an option in the Appletalk control panel to select ethernet and work fine. The ones with 7.5 have no option for ethernet in the control panel. Do I need to upgrade the OS or is there some sort of driver that needs to be installed? Any ideas?

there some sort of driver that needs to be installed?
Any ideas?
There are 2 reasons for this:
1. an Ethernet option doesn't show up because there is no ethernet card installed in the Macintosh
2. The card is installed but the Apple Ethernet drivers are not installed into the Extensions folder of the active Start up disk's System Folder.
Solution:
1.Verify that the Mac does infact have an ethernet card.
2. Verify that the Apple Ethernet drivers are installed.
these items should be inside the Extensions folder:
AppleTalk version 58.1.5
Apple Built-In Ethernet driver file version 1.0.1
Apple Ethernet NB driver file version 1.0.1
Apple Ethernet LC driver file version 1.0.1
Apple Ethernet CS driver file version 1.0.1
note; the LC driver for and LC Mac
NB is for Nubus Macs and CS is for the CS line of Macs.
Mac OS System 7.5 does not install all the drivers neccessary for every Mac to use an Ethernet card, Download and install "Network Software Access" here Downloads
or upr grade to Mac OS 7.5.3.
Open Startup Disk>Apple Extras>Network Software Selector. Be sure Open Transport is on and if you are using a router upgrade to OT 1.2.2 or later as 1.0 is not fully supported with all routers.
If the Ethernet card is not physically installed in the Mac when the Mac OS System Software is installed, then the installer will not bother installing the Ethernet drivers on an "Easy Install". With a Custom Install you can select these drivers or alternatively add the card then re-install Mac OS 7.5. and upgrade all the way to 7.5.5*
*Requires extensive downloading but is free from Apple's older download site

Anything Similar to "Make Available Offline" from PC environment

In my PC environment I have my laptop connected to my Windows Server and I selected key folders to make available offline. So while out in the field any changes I make are synchronized when I log back in at the office.
Is there anything like this for a Mac?

Yes, but they aren't integrated into the OS. You will have to set them up yourself. Here is a list of (mostly) freeware programs: http://osx.iusethis.com/search?q=rsync
MacOS X does have some scripting support for syncing folders. You can download a pre-build script: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/syncfoldersaction.html
or hack it up yourself: http://sites.google.com/site/andreatagliasacchi/blog/osxautomaticsyncwithfoldera ctions
There are also some commercial solutions: http://www.qdea.com/pages/pages-syncx/syncx1.html

I was just on the line with Apple Tech support. First of all, I learned that when you link contacts to iCloud, it moves all your contacts to another/new address book...look for aother address books and you will see it. But I found the new address book dies weird things and changes the "Display Names" format. Evidently (per Apple support tech) there is no way to avoid this problem...so I just delinked the iCloud from my contacts. The contacts stayed in the iCloud address book...so I exported them to a CSV (comma separated value) file and saved it on my desktop and then imported that list into my original contacts folder. Now everything is back the way it was...being able to use my contact address book the way I did before. I was surprised that they never considered or realized this problem...but then the tech guy admitted that they really don't have A LOT of experience using Windows PC's.

I am now using v3.68 and tried updating to v7.01 but it does not seem to work. Went to control panel to remove all the old versions but Firefox was not listed there although Thunderbird is there. Please advise asap, thanks

I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong during the uninstall/reinstall process. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
In the Control Panel, Add/Remove programs, look for '''Mozilla Firefox'''. Make sure to save (do not delete) your personal settings when uninstalling.
If it isn't there, just try installing 3.6.23, which is the latest in the 3.6 family. You can download 3.6.23 here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
With respect to version 7.0.1, are you saying that the installation failed, or it seemed to work but it's nowhere to be found?

3rd gen iPod Nano will not sync with latest version of iTunes. It passes the connectivity test but not the sync test under diagnostics. Worked fine on old Windows 7 laptop but not new one. From Control Panel it shows up as an Apple iPod USB Device...

Never mind, I think. I think I figured it out. There was 1 song (out of > 900!) that somehow had been purchased with the other ID - I have no idea how. Once I deleted that song, it stopped asking.
There may be something with the newest iTunes version too. I didn't think in older versions that the "On this iPod" list of songs was greyed out. But at least it syncs ok.

Problem: ipod server could not be contacted, i went to control panel, lan settings, ck'd auto detect and went back to i-tune to update and got the same error message, any help is appreciated

Problem to make able Offline File Windows 7

Hi, I need your help to solve this problem whit the offline files.
This is the step-by-step of what i done:
I opened the control panel in windows 7
I Clicked on the sync center icon
I Clicked on the manage offline files link
I Clicked on the enable offline files button
I Restarted the pc
But it doesn’t work out: when I go back to the start on the control panel I find the button “Enable Offline Files” instead of the “Disable Offline Files”.
Can someone tell me why? I need to know what I do wrong.
Tks

Hi,
Did you enable offline files by using an administrator account? Just a confirmation, thanks for your understanding.
In addition, would you please let me know whether the problematic Windows 7 client computer joined to a domain?
If it’s in domain environment, please contact your administrator and confirm if disable “Allow or Disallow use of the Offline Files feature” policy setting (the path in GPME: Computer Configuration-> Policies-> Administrative Templates->
Network-> Offline Files). If disable this policy setting, Offline Files is disabled and users cannot enable it.
Please also refer to following TechNet article and check if can help you.
Configuring New Offline Files Features
for Windows 7 Computers Step-by-Step Guide
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

Windows 8 Folder Redirection/offline files not working

I am trying to deploy 4 brand new HP Laptops running windows 8 Professional into a windows 2008 domain however folder redirection is not working
These users have folder redirection enabled via group policy and this works fine under their old laptops in windows 7
For windows 8 I see an error in the event log :
Error 7023 - The offline files service terminated with the following error : the system cannot find the path specified
I also get this error if I manually try to start the offline files service.
This is happening on all 4 brand new laptops. All latest available updates installed.

The error as you have already observed is a critical error blocking the service from running. So that must be about the computer software configuration.
You claim brand new, latest updates etc. - however to use i.e. folder redirection, gpo's etc. you're modifying the software configuraton. I.e. not quite brand new or unchanged (except for those may be important changes, guess those machines are indeed brand
new or just bought ... however still in change as any other software managed machines)
For some reason could be corruption of system configuration, but how? Unlike coincidence of 3 of 4 computers failing to start that services? I.e. have you done any changes to offline files etc, scripts or some stuff with gpo's.
Try exploring the Windows log and take a look at the detail for the error events.
Use process monitor from Microsoft to trace what happens when you try to start the Windows service ...
Just tips for determining the bug ...
Out-of-the-box this should not happen ... for folder redirection and offline files ... it's actually the Windows client going to get those files ... so take a look at the client and try to trace the bug.
My best guess is something is changed on the client - and your customized system or software is doing it. Or something wrong with the configuration. I.e. if you have relocated the CSC cache ...
In my experience the best way to debug this problem is to use Process Monitor ... and i.e. come up with a fix based on the observations i.e. if you have relocated the csc cache to some place where it is actually not available or incorrectly configured
(i.e. take a look at the Result column and looked for failed operations in context with CSC cache operations)
If you don't know how to do this - don't relocate the CSC cache ... (i.e. if you did this to conserve space on i.e. your SDD's with i.e. smaller capacity than legacy-HD). The real problem is the Folder Redirection Client on the Window Client going to
pin the entire folder hierarchy of the users workspace, i.e. documents. Either move files out of that area or use group policy to disable pining entire user "storage area". Microsoft should make the Folder Redirection Client more flexiable, i.e. add option
to exclude part of folder hierarchy. But you can do this by using gpo to disable folder redirection auto-cache of all files - and then instead have users explicitly pin their mobile folders. However for some folders like favorites, desktop and so on you can
actually use batch and wmic to set pin of some folders containing usually less data using a startup script and gpo. That Works ... and simulates i.e. excluding the stored data in user libraries like documents, videos, music ...
... anyway added this based on a "suspension" on what you are really trying to obtain ... but the solution is not to move the CSC cache to aqquire more space, i.e. a user can put 1 TB in their videos ... the solution is to program the Folder Redirection
Client differently ... untill Microsoft add that functionality.

2 iPhones, 2 iCloud Accounts but 1 Windows 7 PC. How do I use iCloud Control Panel so that changes made change both accounts?

Help!
We have two iPhones, each with an iCloud account as my wife and I have different contacts (some are the same though), text and e-mail requirements. However, my Win 7 PC will only allow one instance of iCloud Contol Panel to run at any one time, and so when a change is made to Outlook 2010, only one iCloud account is updated. I have got around this with the Calendars by sharing the information, so when I change my calendar it is reflected on her iPhone and iPad. But when I make a change to contacts, they are updated in Outlook, but not on her iPhone or iPad until I exit the iCloud Control Panel with my details and enter hers. It is way too easy then to end up with duplicates and alsort of chaos.
So what is the work around? Does anyone else have this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Lars,
In the examples folder there are some examples for simple operator interfaces. In the programmer help file they is a section on creating a teststand engine and the steps involved. Uses these notes and say the LV simple operator interface you can match up the steps and how to achieve them. In the Resource Library under TestStand there are plenty of useful notes, code, presentations to help you on your
What you are trying to achieve is to start the teststand enine running from Labview. Open a sequence file. Once you have that sequence file loaded you can then start to manipulate the properties on that sequence, such as your local boolean.
Hope this gives some pointers

I can't uninstall Firefox(3.6.3) either through the control panel or by going to Program files/Mozilla Firefox/Uninstall and running the helper.exe, I have Windows 7 Home Premium(64bit)

I simply want to uninstall Mozilla FireFox 3.6.3. I tried both recommendations of using the control panel to add/remove program and running the helper.exe in Program Files/Mozilla FireFox/uninstall. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium Edition(64bit). When I tried to remove it using the add/remove program and helper.exe all it does is start for a split second(mouse pointer turns into circular loading icon) and then it stops.

Hi Guys,
I had this same problem too, and i want to share to all of you my own fix for this kind of problem;
(READ FIRST: ''This step will wipeout everything that mozilla saved on your computer including : password, history and bookmarks''.)'''
'''1. download the Revo Uninstaller''''''
- quick step guide for this:
select mozilla firefox, don't forget to uninstall everything that relates to mozilla including registry to clean them all up.
'''2. download mozilla firefox again'''
- AND REINSTALL. however on this stage, in some cases mozilla will not open at this stage.
'''3. Uninstall Mozilla firefox again NOW using control panel.'''
'''4. Restart the computer to refresh everything.'''
'''5. Reinstall mozilla firefox again, once you have received the prompt for "exporting or importing etc.. etc.. from Microsoft" that means its already working.. it will take around 5-10 sec to load up (in my case) .'''

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]

* [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

Bookmarks options button in icloud control panel not showing

Hello,
i installed icloud control panel version 3.1 for windows 8 and can't sync bookmarks with chrome. I installed the chrome extension, restarted, but keep the same only internet explorer shows and it can't be changed.
Thanks for your help.

There may be an electrical connection issue inside the printer, but it may also simply need a power reset. I would advise trying to perform a Hard Reset on the printer.
* Unplug unit while powered on
* Unplug other end of power cord from the direct wall outlet
* Wait 30 seconds
* Plug unit back in for power
As well, there is a document with steps to troubleshoot when a printer has a blank display. The document is located here. Hope this helps.
