I converted some TV's shows (Deep Space 9). Yes I am a geek. And now every time I sync to my computer it wants to save all those videos to my computer. I also copied some other files over that I don't want to be synced every time. Is there a way to control what is synced and what is not?
What are you using to sync to your PC with?
The built in Windows Vista sync for photos and videos.
Or is there a directory where you can hide the files so windows won't see it? Somehow it finds every picture and video.

Do I have to sync everything or is there a way to sync only certain items?
I'm using Multimedia Synch by doubleTwist which came with the phone.
I want to be able to sync 1 movie on my phone without having to sync all my other songs because everytime I sync just the movie section it deletes my music off the phone.
Any help is appreciated.
You could connect in disk drive mode and drag and drop the movie in the folder of your choice.
Also can try to use Card with jacket
& insert in PC
with the phone

It is not a perfect solution, and not just for media, but what I do , is connect in disk mode and use a program called Super Flexible File Synchronizer, it will actually Synchronize the directories, making sure they are exact ...
does no conversion or anything, just syncs, also works for keeping a good backup of my whole SD card once a week or so ...
Hi!
Recently I've set up Missing Sync, but now I'm encountering two problems that annoy me a bit:
1. When I sync through USB the default path for the Markspace Folder is on / while via Wifi the Folder is created in /sd/. This means that I have duplicated folders and every media item shows up twice on my Galaxy. Is there a way to change the paths for the Markspace folder?
2. It seems that every time I sync the Photos, it deletes the latest taken ones and copies them over to the device again. Strange behaviour which doesn't take all too much time but it gets significant when syncing over wifi.
Hope someone can help me,
bye Smirny
ok I've managed to solve these problems now (after 4 hours of intense pain ^^):
for 1.:
You have to change the path in "DeviceList" of the Missing Sync Application Support folder to sd\\MarkSpace\\Photos (or Music, etc.) when you want to sync via USB, then change it back to MarkSpace\\Photos when you want to sync via Wifi again. I created an Automator Workflow to have a quick switch on my mac.
for 2.:
I realized that it weren't the least taken pictures that brought up problems, it were .pngs. First it deletes all *.jpgs because they have no equal in the iPhoto Library and after that it converts the photos all over again -.- Just make sure you don't have .pngs in your iPhoto Library and the sync should just work fine.
-> what a buggy program -.- sometimes I wish my iTunes/iPhone sync back.

The answer to my own question is Sharepoint apparently. I just found out about it. My mistake.
Original question:
I bought a data usb cable for my Focus hoping to set up a way to transfer files from my Windows 7 computer to the phone. I mostly want to put Office files on my cell phone, not videos or music. Business use. So Zune isn't what I need.
I can't get the computer to recognize the phone for file transfer. I tried both the Win7 Synch and the Win Mobile Device Center software.
The computer does know that the phone is hooked up and is ID'd as the Focus.
Is this not possible to do on the Focus?
Thanks.

Try using Skydrive (it's available via your Hotmail/Live/MSN account). I have everything synced via Skydrive and it works great. There's another solution, Homepipe, which I haven't yet tried. There's also a registry hack you can do on your Windows PC that will allow you to drag and drop files (again, not something I've tried, yet, because Skydrive works well for my needs).
Hope that helps.

How do you sync with Skydrive? Aside from using the browser and downloading the file? Is there a way to actually set up a sync aside from just OneNote?
hi all,
for a while i am looking for a way to automatically sync files between my tablet (on dock) and my windows XP sp3 pc over usb. Looking for a trick to sync over the contents of one specified folder (includng subfolders) on connecting and on changes to the files, very much like windows sync or dropbox but then usb.
reason for usb is that i dont want docs in the cloud, nor can the pc and the tablet be on the same wifi (pc on lan). For some other reason, BT doesnt work either (although paired, no connection can be established). USB should be possible though, at least i thought.
I am aware of the MTP issue, which makes it hard just to use regular sync programs. I found only one windows program that reads mtp stations: pure sync. But that doenst really work, messes up everything this far by making additional copies of the files, trashing others, looping in syncs etc.
Here are some other things i tried and noticed:
- docs to go offers syncing for the full version, however thats one way and doesnt work automatically.
feedback from the guys of docs to go:
Unfortunately, Lenovo tablets are not supported on XP machines. On XP, Lenovo devices fail to provide file/directory names and modification dates for some reason.

- the way it is demonstrated at the lenovo website does not work, probably only does so when connecting to a lenovo laptop. No lenovo utility showing up and cant find a download.
support.lenovo.com/en_NZ/guides-and-manuals/detail.page?DocID=UM014085
(sorry, newbe so no outside links allowed)
- last thing i am tryin but struggling to get working is the app and desktop companion myphoneexplorer (fjsoft.at/en/) I cant get a connection although according to the app my tablet is properly connecter over usb.
- connecting and transferring each file via explorer is a burden. No bookmarks or shortcuts are possible, one has to look for the sub sub sub sub folder every time after reconnection and transferring is not easy as well, often not allowing copy past or accesssing the folder within applications that do not use the windows explorer (e.g. Total commander, sync apps)
- i have read a trick somewhere to connect the tablet using the PTP setting, whereby the DCIM folder is displayed. You allegedly could transfer files (also other than pics) to this folder and after disconnecting you would be able to read them out. But tht didnt work for me, plus the folders were not always accessible nor could i ad a shortcut or bookmark/favourite etc.
Anyone any thoughts on this? would be much appreciated.
additional info; running android 4.03
let me know if you need additional info.
tnx
Hello!
I recently moved from a Windows 7 phone to Android and the thing I miss most is the ability to sync wirelessly my photos from my computer to my phone. Here is how I did it on my Windows phone:
1. I would go into Zune (the software used to sync the phone, similar to iTunes) and choose the folders from my computer to sync with my phone.
2. I would plug my phone into its wall charger and it would sync wirelessly every night when I charged it.
The photos would be synced to my gallery and I was able to see the photos even when I wasn't connected to my phone provider or internet.
Is there any way to do this on my new Samsung Galaxy S5? I attempted to copy my photos using the USB cable, but I didn't have enough room to move them. I had 16GB of storage on my Windows phone, the same amount as my Galaxy, and the photos fit on the Windows, so there is obviously some way to do it.
I can live without the whole no-internet or cell service needed to see the photos, but I would really love to be able to at least access my photos from my phone.
Note: in the gallery, if I scroll down I see a "connected devices" option, and underneath those devices (which are my home laptop and PC) there is "no images" listed. How do I get photos shared between these connected devices?
Thank you so much!
I use google drive fotosync for this so I have all my mobile pictures accessable on every computer where i have internet access and log in to my google account.
With the app FolderSync you can sync special folders with nearly any cloud.

I have quite a lot of photos to sync, probably more than 600. Can you sync a lot of photos?
