Office sync with two Macs leads to duplicate the files/folders

Hi all

I m using MacOS Sierra sync with desktop (and documents). Logged into my account, are two Macs (Air and a MB Pro). No I find in my iCloud drive a documents folder (it's good and the documents of the MB Air folder) and in this case a "Dokumente - MacBook Pro mg" folder which is the folder documents of my MB Pro (this is not so good). This isn't what I expected, I expected to have a documents folder which is identical on both machines. Does anyone know what I need to adjust to get things clear?

Greetings from the Germany

I posted an article that explains all this to http://www.quecheesoftware.com/iCloud.html . This is a downloadable PDF file.

Basically, you add to the folder Documents after activation of the synchronization of the files will be synchronized as you expect. But the files that were in your Documents on several Mac folders when you switch on for the first time on the synchronization will be placed in specific subfolders to your new folder of Documents iCloud Drive device. Apple apparently felt that he could not predict how each user would want their old files organized in the folder of Documents Drive iCloud, so Apple left to each user to reorganize the file later.

I have now moved all my own files on the first level of my folder of Documents Drive iCloud and trashed the duplicate of the other device-specific folder. Now, everything syncs between computers, as expected. I left the two subfolders of specific to the device in place, either two empty for now, in case in the future that I might want to keep some files associated with one of the devices - for example, the alias files do not work on the other Mac. They will always sync in another subfolder, but at least I know to use it only on their own device.

Apple certainly could have documented it better.

  • VMware device with 2 network cards claiming the same IP address with two MAC addresses

    Hello.

    I see messages intermittent my gateway network two MAC addresses associated with a virtual machine running on a 5.5 ESXi host for the same IP address.

    The virtual machine is a MiTel 3300 controller for a VOIP system. the system is configured with two IP addresses, one on the local network and another with a public IP address in the DMZ. In the network configuration of the 3300, I assigned the address LAN IP at 00: 0C: 29:30:B2:B2 and the DMZ IP at 00: 0C: 29:30:B2:BC (Mac for network devices presented by the ESXi host virtual machine).

    On the host, I configured a vSwitch with exclusive access to two physical network adapters on the host machine. The vSwitch is configured with two machine virtual port groups, LAN and DMZ, with access to the physical network interface cards. Tab grouping of groups vSwitch port NIC, I replaced the order of failover of the switch to activate an active NETWORK card only for the Group of LAN ports and the other card NETWORK only for the DMZ port group. (I don't know how the content of the column of networks is determined. Neither is correct for the traffic on the physical switch. If these are configurable, please advise and I'll change the settings). The relevant parameters of vSwitch, groups of ports and VM are distinguished below.

    On the virtual machine itself, through the VMWare host, I assigned 00: 0C: 29:30:B2:B2 for the Group of LAN ports and 00: 0C: 29:30:B2:BC to the DMZ group port (best I can tell, anyway, since the MAC address field annoyingly obscures the last two digits of the MAC address - break if I invert the mapping) (, but all seems OK).

    The goal here is to make sure that MACs of ports vSwitch the 3300 is listening and sending always correspond to the physical ports that are VLAN Tag by the physical switch to ensure the routing. Generally speaking, it seems that what is happening but, intermittently, we cross one-way calls that suggests a problem of routing between us and our SIP trunk provider; coinciding with these incidents, I get an email along the lines of "the security in the network device has detected a conflict of IP address with two or more devices. The period of INVESTIGATION "DMZ. DMZ. DMZ. DMZ' is claimed by the following clients with MAC addresses: ' 00: 0C: 29:30:B2:B2' ' 00: 0C: 29:30:B2:BC'. »

    I did something in the configuration that would lead to this kind of collision intermittent? Have a hacked together a way to do something that could be accomplished in a way that is simpler and more reliable?

    Thanks for any idea that you can offer.

    Kind regards

    J.

    I probably don't fully understand your configuration, but it seems that you are not interested in using the collection of NETWORK adapters in the virtual switch of the VM MiTel 3300.

    If it is correct, why not create two virtual switches, each with a group of port (LAN and DMZ) unique and with a separate connection of (vmnic2 and vmnic1)?

    In general, collection of NETWORK adapters may be used to share traffic between uplinks and ensure that if one of the uplinks connect fails, a virtual machine still has access to the network.

  • Adding a lock to a Note iCloud disables its ability to sync with a Mac

    My Mac is upgraded to El Capitan. Synchronization for notes has been works well between my iPhone and my Mac until today when I've upgraded to iOS 9.3. Creating a new note will sync perfectly, however, once the locking function is activated (locked or not), the note refuses to sync with my Mac. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a quick fix or is this a bug with blocking of the Notes application?

    I thought about it. There was a new update that came out for OS X (10.11.4) at the same time that 9.3 is released for iOS (I didn't know this earlier). OS X 10.11.4 is necessary to properly synchronize with the 9.3 lock feature, if not disappears all note active locking.

    I would remove this issue, because it is no longer active, but I have no idea how to do...

    How I find myself with two passwords to iCloud for the same account?

    For security reasons, I only use iCloud for Contacts and "find my iPhone".

    Several months ago Apple forced me to change my password to iCloud.  So I did this.   In the last months, I used successfully the new password to 10 or 12 times when asked without problem.

    However, I received a notification of a software update for my Apple Watch. I did the update without problem. However, after completing the update my iPhone asked me to connect to my iCloud account. When I did this, she rejected my password. I made 4 attempts typing very slowly and with care for you sure I did it right.

    Then, operating under a hunch, I decided to enter my old password to iCloud. It worked?  I'm confused about this, any ideas would be appreciated.

    I had a similar problem last year. I had to call Apple. Contact is a bottom of this page.

    Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

    If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

    You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

    Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

    I hope this helps. Good luck.

    System details:

    VMware Fusion: Version 3.1.1 (282344)

    Host of Office Mac: OS X 10.5.8

    Comments to VMware Mac: OS X 10.6.2 Server 64-bit

    VMware Tools installed

    1. I am able to use the vmrun as 'start', 'stop' commands, etc. But I'm unable to use the controls of the operating system called as 'runProgramInGuest' and 'copyFileFromHostToGuest '. I understand an exhaustive search, Mac Guest VM does support all the vmrun commands. Please specify if this isn't the case.

    2. because the vmrun commands do not work, and I always want to copy files to the guest, I try to get the IP of the host Mac address to connect to the FTP host - essentially treat them as 2 different machines on the network. Please specify whether it is possible to get the IP address of the Mac Guest VM and copy the files in the manner described.

    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Hema,

    Welcome to the forums.

    I have no experience with the Fusion, but I had to work on the same problem with VMware Player. If your guest is using NAT network connection, you should be able to find its dynamic IP address in the DHCP leases file placed at:

    -/var/db/VMware/vmnet-dhcpd-vmnet8.leases

    As long as you know its mac address, you should find its IP address.

    It may be useful

  • dialog box "Choose the program you want to open this file" is displayed when I start (after shutdown or restart) with my windows username listed in the file to open

    As I mentioned, the dialog box appears after every restart.  It occurs after I entered my credentials to logon and proceeded to windows.  It seems to be pretty late in the boot process that things like the chat programs and widgets are fully charged at the time wherever the dialog box is displayed.

    The dialog box appears to be the 'Open with' dialog box in Windows 7 standard.

    Specifically the dialogue reads as follows:

    Samhrutha,

    I solved the problem.

    I found that when creating a new user, no longer had the open with dialog box.

    I started the process of resolution of a corrupted user profile (which seems little more than creating a new and copy and paste a few old values), when I decided to try one last thing.

    I logged on my account corrupted again and when the 'Open with' dialog that I open the file with Notepad.  I tried to "save under" to locate the file and found that it was located in C:\Users.  Something in recent weeks seems to have put a file without an extension, called "Mathew" (my log in name) in this folder, and it began when I started windows.

    I have since deleted the file and am no longer get the "Open with" dialog

    Thanks for your support!

  • NEED TO MERGE TWO ADMINISTRATIVE ACCOUNTS AND ALL THE FILES IN XP - NO WINDOWS 7! CANNOT FIND TRANSFER IFTO ANYWHERE.

    I desperately need to merge two administrative accounts on my laptop - using XP and NOT windows 7 (so there is no transfer Assistant). I need to transfer all of the OLD admin. account in the NEW Admin account.

    For the full backup used Carbonite - due erase hard drive and reinstall XP - carbonite cust. veeeeery slooooow service and I had to use the laptop for the preparatory work.  When the backup has been restored, he implemented the administrative account of origin, besides I have created a new.  Now, most of the files are under the old administrative account, and I need to move the OLD files in the NEW Admin account.

    Would sincerely appreciate your very specific instructions? ... step by step, if possible? Not quite a prolific technician, but no slouch, not more.

    Thank you very much!

    You can't really merge two accounts. You can copy data from one account to the other. Folder options > view tab > check "Show hidden files". Then go to:

    c:\Documents and Settings\name of the old account and copy the files to My Documents, desktop, Favorites in folders in your new user account. When you have all your stuff, you can delete the old user account from the control panel > user accounts. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!
