iPhone sync taking a long time? Here's why manual sync might be the answer



All day sync should help speed up the sync process, but I've found that it plays havoc with my car bluetooth when making and receiving calls. They will continually drop out, etc. if I have ADS on. Surely there's a better solution that resolves the slow sync and doesn't render the car bluetooth inoperable..?




iPhone sync taking a long time Maybe a \"manual\" sync will help

OAuth2 authentication.To enter credentials in Browse dialog you should simply click Go button.Google then will ask you in your default browser whether you allow GoodSync to access it.You should approve it and then GoodSync will be able to sync with your Google Drive.Google Docs only.This file system shows Google Docs only, not Google Drive files.Google Doc is a document that exists only on Google servers (usually Word and Excel documents).Google Docs cannot be Uploaded and Downloaded.They only can be Exported and Imported, each time producing a slightly different result.Google Docs file system implements Upload as Export, Download as Import.Also file size is not known for Google Docs, so we show it as (Unknown).

Things to know:- If changes occur during Analyze/Sync, they are still detected and sent to the next Analyze.- If these changes are result of our own sync, they will produce no new changes to be synced.- On File Change initiates Analyze and Sync, which results in locking of sync folder by GS lock files.- GoodSync checks for new changes approximately every 3 seconds, this time quant is configurable.- If changes keep on coming, then Sync will start after 5 minutes of non-stop changes, even with Delay option.


Option: Conflict Resolution: Rename Losing File, Not DeleteIf Automatically Resolve Conflicts option is enabled thendo not delete file that loses as a result of conflict resolution.Instead rename it to 'FileName (Conflicted Copy from COMPUTER on DATE).ext'.Note however that if winning side of the conflict deletes file andthis option is enabled then both files remain the same.If we renamed the file to '(Conflicted Copy)' then we would get no file on winning sideand renamed file on losing side, so after 2nd sync files will become the same, only now renamed.Instead we just let them remain the same, without renaming. Wait for Locks to clear (checked by default) If checked then auto jobs wait for lock files to clear instead of producing an error. Lock file is present in the sync folder when a Sync is running in this folder. This way two GoodSync on different computers cannot sync to the same folder at the same time, to avoid data corruption. If not checked then presence of lock file in sync folder produces error. You can also specify length of waiting in minutes. Zero means default value of 20 minutes.


Auto Trigger Priority The new On File Change (OFC) mode overrides most other Auto triggers: - On GoodSync Start: OFC does full analyze on start already. - On Folder Connect: OFC will retry job after connection has been lost. - On Logoff: if files are in sync all the time, there is no need to sync them on logoff.


That is, if Job A syncs folder X to folder Y and Job B syncs folder X to folder Z andif you change Folder Options of folder X in Job A thenfolder options of folder X in Job B will automatically change to the same values as in Job A.Which effectively means that Folder Options are attached to a Folder, not a Job.What Makes Files DifferCompare Checksums when needed (slower) (un-checked by default)If checked then compare MD5 checksum of Old to New file, when file size did not change but file mod time changed.If MD5 checksum of the file differs whereas File Size and File Mod Time are the same, declare a conflict.Also after Sync verify that checksum of copied file is the same on both sides.If unchecked then file is considered to be changed if its File Size or File Mod Time have change.


Keep File History for months (12 by default)GoodSync stores history of file changes in state file, so that it can be propagated.The history that goes back in time for more than specified number of months is forgotten by GoodSync. In practice it means, that if you did not sync all your computers for a long time then unsynced changes that are older than 12 months will not propagate, because they were forgotten.


Auto Install new version when found (off by default)If checked then automatically install new GoodSync version when one is reported on www.goodsync.com.Install is performed by gs-server, in fully silent and automated mode.Download and version checking is done via HTTPS, so that MITM attack does not compromise it.Installer will be run when GoodSync is not in used or at 3 am local time.If GoodSync GUI was running, it will not be restarted, as gs-server cannot start GUI programs.


Policies are defined by registry values located in this registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Siber Systems\GoodSyncAdministrator would set these values via Active Directory to affect GoodSync behavior.Administrator can also use GoodSync policy template that helps in setting registry:- Select Start -> Run, type: gpedit.msc, press Enter.- In the tree go to 'Local Computer Policy' -> 'Computer Configuration' -> 'Administrative Templates'.- Right-click 'Administrative Templates', select 'Add/Remove templates' -> 'Add...',- Browse for goodsync.adm in 'Program Files\Siber Systems', click 'Close'.- The new sub-tree with GoodSync policies will appear under 'Administrative Templates'.- To enable a policy, select this policy in Editor, right-click it, select Enabled.- Policy will become effective after GoodSync restart.


Just a little question, I've had to do a manual backup recently and it took quite a very long time to complete. I've noticed that the backup that occurs before syncing the iPhone (4S ios 8.1 in my case) with Itunes (last version) doesn't take that long, and I would like to know why.


There is normally one rolling backup for each device. The initial backup will take some time. Subsequent backups will update the backup with recent changes. Automatic backups take place with the first sync on each calendar day. Media and apps are not included in the backups.


Now here is something else to consider: I have my iTunes settings for my iPod Classic set to "Manually Manage". So it's not like every time I'm connecting my iPod Classic to my laptop it's adding songs...I don't want it to do that, hence why I have it set to manual. For the life of me, I can't figure out why all of a sudden it takes so long to "sync". After those 15 - 20 minutes (re: when it stops syncing after I initially plug it in), if I try and add music, the music will add successfully, but that LONG syncing process starts ALL OVER AGAIN and I have another 15 - 20 minutes before it says it is safe to eject to remove.


In our experience, Google Fit can take a long time to complete a sync from your Google Fit app to the Google cloud. You can check that your device has synced to the cloud by going completing the following actions:


The first time you connect your tracker and sync, we will only provide points for activity that was completed after the tracker was connected. For example, if you connect your tracker at 4pm, we will not provide you with points for any activities that were completed before this time; you will receive points for all activities you log after this time and beyond.


Note: You may receive a slightly different number of points compared to activity (e.g. +-20 points) because of discrepancies with the syncs but we always round up so overtime this will always level out. 2ff7e9595c
