SyncToy 2.1 suddenly don't synchronize my EFS encrypted files

I have just upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) on my laptop and desktop. Until recently, I used Synctoy 2.0 on my laptop to synchronize the files with my office. On my laptop, the files are encrypted using EFS in Windows; While my desktop files are unencrypted. SyncToy has done a great job.

Last week, I installed synctoy 2.1. Since then, synchronize with my encrypted files does not work I get the error message "unknown error... the specified file could not be encrypted." I have to decrypt my files so that I can sync, and it takes a VERY long time.

Can anyone help please?

Hi mbowles198 ,

Thanks for posting on Microsoft Answers!

If upgrading from a previous version of SyncToy (e.g. SyncToy 1.4 or SyncToy 2.0), it is * CRITICAL * to make sure that all folder pairs are completely synchronized using the previous version before running SyncToy 2.1 Setup.
Do not follow this guideline may result in unexpected behavior and a partial loss of data when you run SyncToy 2.1 for the first time after the upgrade. All folder pairs must also be fully synchronized at least once just once the update is done.

You can install 2.0 Sycntoy synchronize the folders again after that, you can switch to Synctoy 2.1.

    Hi sonalnj,

    I understand that you cannot synchronize your iPhone as iTunes is requested it must be updated. I can help you with that.

    According to the technical specifications for a 6 s iPhone, you need a Mac running OS X v10.8.5 or later version with iTunes 12.3 or later. Because you are on OS X 10.6.8 your version of iTunes is up to date with this OS.

    iPhone 6 s Tech Specs
    http://www.Apple.com/iPhone-6s/specs/

    Now to fix that, you need to update your Mac OS X 10.8.5 Mountain Lion or OS X 10.11 El Capitan. If you want to go to the Mountain Lion, you can do it with the first link below. The cost will be $19.99 and a code will be delivered to you if you can download it via the Mac App Store. Once you have upgraded, be sure to make all software updates to go with him to get the latest version of iTunes.

    Now the other option is to move to OS X 10.11 El Capitan, and is a free update that you can do right in the Mac App Store, if you meet the system requirements. Take a look at the following article for more details on how to do it.

    iOS9 on a mobile device requires iTunes 12.3 or higher, which in turn requires a computer running OSX 10.8.5 or higher.  Update of the system only checks the updates for the current version of the system you run, but that itself can be updated.  It may or may not be possible to upgrade your computer to the system requirements. Find your computer on the web site of http://www.everymac.com model and near the bottom of the specification of the system section, he will tell what versions of the operating system, it is able to run. If you can not run a newer system, you will not be able to sync this phone to your current computer. If she can run 10.8.5 or higher, you can either buy a download for Apple OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion code online, or you can try to install the free El Capitan OSX 10.11.  El Capitan can run slower on older machines and require the additional purchase of RAM.  Making a big jump in versions of system is also more likely to affect the old software.

  • Decrypt encrypted files and records who have done in Win XP Pro, but now we want to decrypt in Win 7 Pro.

    Hi, please advise me that how can I decrypt my encrypted files and folders now since I got them when I was with Win XP Pro and after all of a sudden my Win XP Pro crash and the installation of Win 7 Pro? I mean, now I use now Win 7 Pro in the lap top, it had Win XP Pro and I did an encryption my files and folders at this time.

    Please notify.

    Thanks & regards in advance

    It will never ask for the encryption keys. Whenever an encrypted file/folder is created, the keys are also created and stored safely in the system. At any time, you can take a backup of the keys (you need, as you cannot decrypt it without the keys).

    Restore point:

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    Data recovery, if/before you reinstall:

    1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

    2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

    3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

    After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

    Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

    Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1st in the boot order.

    Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

    When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

    Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

    Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

    Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

    See you soon.

  • All of a sudden, I can't open a PNG file in layers.  I get a message file could not be found. Help!

    I work with multilayer files in photophop CS6 creating composite photograph.  All of a sudden, I can't open the PNG files.  I get a message that the file cannot be found when I try to open it.  Can someone help me please?

    A quick search on Google turned up the news I knew vaguely.

    PNGs in layers are only produced by Macromedia (later Adobe Fireworks more) using a proprietary format that has never been publicly documented.  Thus, it seems that only Adobe Fireworks can open the png with the layers intact. Whether or not you can export these layers in another file format and to open in another application with everything intact seems to be up in the air.

    Fire of artifice is not updated anymore and it seems that Adobe doesn't have a plan for png supports layers and the proprietary format is removed.

    Some people seek to affinity as a possible replacement for Photoshop.

    However to quote some comments from their FAQ:

    FAQ - fireworks in layers of PNG and TIFF files in layers

    Since this question comes up often, I write a definitive statement.

    Files PNG Fireworks (layers)

    There is no such thing as "layered PNG.  The standard PNG does not define a way to store diapers and only deals with flattened images.

    Fireworks saves the data of the extra layer of PNG files in a proprietary format with a private label. A definition for this exclusive data has never been made public.  Saved by Fireworks PNG still usable as a flattened image of any application able to handle PNG files.  These applications will maintain the standard data and ignore the proprietary data of fireworks.

    Affinity maintains the standard PNG files.  But it cannot import or export data from the layer by using the method of fireworks.

    There is no hope that we will always be able to manage the data layer from Fireworks PNG files.

    We recognize that being able to handle Fireworks PNG files would be very useful for users of affinity.  If a public definition of the format of data become available, we will be able to address the issue.

    Layered TIFF files

    There is no such thing as "layered TIFF.  The TIFF standard handles only images flattened under the tags described to the public.

    TIFF allows businesses to record any additional tags for their own use. Adobe has recorded two private TIFF tags that allow them to incorporate the layer data in a TIFF file.  These tags are an extension and are not part of the standard TIFF Central.  These tags are used to integrate data layer PSD into a TIFF image, in addition to the standard rasterized image.

    Since affinity has a PSD importer, we are able to import data from the layer of a TIFF file if it has these tags.  However, given that this is handled by our PSD importer that is subject to the restrictions as standard PSD Import in affinity.  We clearly that while we aim to provide the best third party support PSD, we can never replicate 100% the way Photoshop deals and displays a PSD file.  Photoshop has its own approach to apply the transparency/alpha, vector and features of vector, layer effects and gradient masks.  This means that although we can offer the importation of what can be changed to a PSD file, the result will not be a reproduction of a one pixel that you see in Photoshop.

    We recorded our own TIFF tags for the incorporation of the data layer of affinity in a TIFF file, in a similar way to the data layer PSD. This is intended for the dams that use TIFF as their Exchange format.  When you save a TIFF file, you are given the option to include data of layer affinity.  This will help keep the editable document of several layer elements.  This obviously comes at a cost of increased size.  Our TIFF labels will use our format proprietary data and as such, cannot be used by the applications of affinity.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Their admission that same PSD are not guaranteed to be a reproduction of a tone pixel that you see in Photoshop, combined with the use of the affinity of the TIFF layers and tags "our TIFF labels will use our format proprietary data and as such, cannot be used by affinity applications." is a bit worrying consequences for everyone who has the hope that affinity would be a complete replacement for Photoshop

  • I create a logo for a company, but I'm new to illustrator and don't know what type of file to give them for their personal use if themselves don't have Illustrator to work with

    So I designed a logo for a company, they want to buy too! I don't know what type of file to send to them for their personal use. I am new to illustrator, so I'm not sure whether it should be a .png, .pdf or .svg. They don't have access to Illustrator, so they would not be able to view the native .ai file, how can I send the file?

    Whenever I have provide a customer with a logo, my first question that would be what they are they who need for?

    And when you have the response from them, it will give you a good idea of what to provide.

    Second to that I will always create a logo set to compile something like the following:

    1. Original .ai logo - RGB/CMYK/Black/White versions
    2. A set of PNG with transparent backgrounds of different sizes (something like 100px, 250px, 500px, 1000px wide)
    3. A set of .jpg in various sizes (something like 100px, 250px, 500px, 1000px wide)
    4. And now a .svg and .pdf file

    Once again it all depends on what the customer wants it, but once you have furnished with everything that they are able to use it for the most part.

    Good luck
