Live Sync Duplication issues

Whenever our portable backup has been offline of Windows Live Sync for a long time and connect us to our Windows Live Sync account on the laptop to backup, it will copy the old files to all of our other computers that have been deleted, as portable backup has been put online.  It creates a mess of duplicate files.  How to solve this?  Why isn't Windows Live Sync just delete the old files of our laptop backup once it is online and connected to Windows Live Sync?

Hi condogvinet,

  • Windows live Sync and Conrols Parental

    I have the (average) parental control added to the user account from my daughter.  I can't get windows live sync to work using my daughter's account.  I can only access it using my user account.  No idea what I can do to run under my daughter's account.

    Hello petelisa64,

    Check if Internet Explorer is configured to use proxy server to the account you have set up Parental controls.

    1 open Internet Explorer, click on tools, Internet Options

    2. on the Connections tab, find the LAN settings.

    3. click on automatically detect settings.

    I also suggest that you create a new account (Standard) of the user and configure parental control even and check if you can access Windows Live sync on the account just to test if this could be caused by parental control.

    Thank you

  • Live streaming video issues

    I look after a small PC of old ladies in Australia, of the Canada.  She used to watch live webcams to the Canada video looking at snow & ice but now with a new HP PC it can not display the stream live... or to be more precise that she can see, but the site does not load properly and displays a still image.

    If the browser is refreshed the image updates, but is a still image.

    We can see the time, so we know there is a preview of the taken video, but it will not be updated with the live stream.

    I read the other posts about similar problems, but can't seem to find an answer.

    I updated its Windows media player, which is uninstalled then reinstalled both Shockwave & Flash to the latest versions, but still the video will not play correctly.

    She can watch other videos for streaming live, but it just seems to be a problem with this one in particular.

    I tried the same webcam feed other computers to the Canada and the United Kingdom with no problems.

    She has a HP610-1010 has Touchsmart with installed ATI Radeo HD5570 graphics card.

    Can anyone suggest anything else I can be on...?

    Thank you

    Malcolm

    Hi - Thanks for your help. I think I found the solution. I checked again in the United Kingdom and found that does not now by streaming video and just displaying still images. There must be an intellectual property sensor on the site of blocking live outside of North America. Bad luck!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones, pocketmac sync manager issues

    I sync my blackberry 8830 (verizon) every morning with my macbook pro, and the three things I need to sync are my contacts, calendar and tasks. The contacts and calendar sync very well, but when tasks attempt to synchronize, the bar stops moving and progression program is not able to sync my tasks. Does anyone know how to make sure my tasks synchronize as well? Or is it a lost cause in regards to getting my task lists to sync?

    OK, we can have a partial solution to the synchronization problem, 1 some environments. I use Mac OS X 10.5.5 and PocketMac SyncManager 1.2 (1.4).  Download the manual for PocketMac Blackberry 4.1, as well as the latest version of PocketMac software from Blackberry website.  Remove the old, install again and proceed to the next section of the Manual:

    8.3.9 cleaning and Maintenance utilities

    Can be found in your home folder (the folder with all the cleaning and maintenance utility data

    your name in the users folder), under ~/Library/Application Support/PocketMac

    SyncManager/additional tools /.

    I followed the instructions in this section, 1 St (1) ran Data Cleanup utility my purge device, one by one (contacts, tasks, notes, etc.), (2) run utility to clean the synchronization files on Mac (3) begun PocketMac for Blackberry, selected for each (contacts, tasks, etc.) one-way synchronization (replace the device), (4) when step 3 is completed successfully, I reset PocketMac for two way Sync and select new Sync IT completed successfully.

  • Windows live mail attachment issue

    Usually, I get emails with attachments of the emails no problem except for a few people that I get business from. They ask my gaze on the spare, but I can't find them. There is no message not appearing that the attachment is blocked due to the antivirus protection, it is simply not there. No matter how many times they send it back, there is still no visible fixing. They usually ask someone else to send us email and then we receive attachment no prob! How can I solve this problem because they are usually important emails? Answers would be appreciated. Thank you

    Maybe those who can find the attachment also use Outlook? I always suggest that find you out what the sender uses before you make a large number of unnecessary possible corrections.
  • Weird sync/time issue when mixdown or bounce to new track

    Hello

    I have a synchronization problem when mixing or bounce to new track with waves Tune enabled. If I turn off the Tune of waves, everything works well, timing is correct after mixing or bouncing to the new track. If I activate the Tune waves and bounce a clip to the new track, it will create a clip with the same length, but the head seems to be cut and tail is stretched full length (I guess). In addition, when I listen to the clip bounced back, it seems that the waves Tune does not work. I tried to export audio mixdown on and got the same result: problem of synchronization and waves Tune doesn't work. Here's the catch:

    Smiley face

    As you can see, the above clip is the original and the clip here is the clip from boucned. There is a slight difference between the two clips.

    Does anyone have the same problem like this? I really appreciate for your help.

    Thank you

    Hello

    To convert, you need to download the shell2vst. Just google and you will find easily. I can't download the file here for you, but if you are having difficulties finding, PM me your email and I'll send it to you! As far as I know, it works with waves plugins but don't know if it also works with others. It is also simple to use, just drag the shell of waves in the shell2vst file, and it will create all the plugins vst2 in waves.

  • Firefox Sync does not work for Tablet Android Nexus 10.

    Firefox Sync works for 2 PCs, but does not work for an Android tablet. It is said, that the tablet was connected successfully, I checked the bookmarks and history options to be synchronized and or bookmarks, or history of the browser has not been updated on my tablet.
    No errors. Anything not came to the Android device.
    I tried with 2 different synchronization profiles - same story for the second profile.

    Please note that we are currently living with Sync server issues. Our technicians are working around the clock to the question of setting and ensure that it works at its best. The current option is to try to keep synchronized and if you are able to synchronize properly, we recommend to not not to sync more than once every 2 hours.

  • How to change the live settings on an iPhone 6 Plus

    Try to sync the contacts between my 6s iPhone more ver.10.10.5 ver.9.2.1 and iMac. OS X Yosemite, using iTunes ver.12.3.2.35

    In iTunes, I sail down to INFO under SETTINGS for my iPhone 6s longer.

    In the body of the screen, just below the Apple icon there is an area called CONTACTS SYNC. In this area, it states the following, "your contacts are being synchronized with your iPhone on the airwaves to iCloud.» Live sync settings can be changed on your iPhone". I explored the iPhone SETTINGS with a fine comb, looking for a menu that will allow changes to the live synchronization settings. I have not found any such settings.

    For testing purposes, I added new contacts in the iMac and iPhone. I perform a synchronization, but none of these contacts of the trial appears in the iMac or the iPhone. At this point, sync contacts seems to be hopeless!

    I am convinced that he is passionate about Mac out there that will and have a solution to my problem. In addition to this situation, I would really appreciate a quick clarification on how iPhones and iMacs synchronize contacts. When the SYNCHRONIZATION is selected in iTunes while in the INFO, contacts are synchronized in an interface method? IPhone added contacts transferred to the iMac, and the course of the same iMac to sync contacts added are transferred to the iPhone? If not bidirectional, machine who should I enter new contacts? I'm a little confused as to the direction of the synchronization (when it works).

    Thank you for your comment on my questions. I'm not new to Apple/Mac, but I still consider myself a rookie. This is my first post of the Community Support of Apple, and I look forward to working with and to be part of the community.

    Gary

    Hi GARYFANK,

    I appreciate that you try to sync your contacts between your iPhone 6 Plus and your iMac.  The most common way to keep data synchronized between your iPhone and your Mac must have iCloud put in place on both.  Looks like you may have put iCloud in place on your iPhone, that's why you see the message "on-line".  However, you cannot have your Mac put in place for iCloud.

    iCloud: what is iCloud?

    Get help using iCloud Contacts, calendars, or reminders

    • On your iPhone, tap Settings > iCloud. Check your Apple ID and make sure you put what you want to update (Contacts, calendars, or reminders).
    • On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences > iCloud. Check your Apple ID and make sure that you select what you want to update (Contacts, calendars, or reminders).

    If you choose to synchronize your information using iTunes and USB cable, then the synchronization is a way - from the computer to the iPhone.

    Sync your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with iTunes via USB

    Hope that helps...

  • How do you change/edit the number of cell phone in Windows Live Hotmail?

    I followed the pages guests who claim will allow you to change your mobile phone.  But when you get to the next page, there is nothing when allows you to edit or change the number. The cottage the old phone number (which I have not used in 5 years)... I'm trying to get the calendar to send appointments on my phone.

    Hello

    I just did this to remove an old phone number - Hotmail - right superior Options - more options.
    On the left view - Hotmail - Options under Account - Details of the account - the account - security management
    Info Security - manage - delete phone number and follow the rest of the guests.

    This is what worked for me, however if you have any problems then use Support of Hotmail.
