Syncing A Tree Between Desktop And Notebook (both Windows 7)?
Sep 6, 2012
A colleague told me that he used to sync his notebook with his desktop PCby syncing a tree (in explorer?) and he was able to tell the sync to excludefiles below a ceratin directory (to reduce the amount of files being synced).That was under Windows XP.Now, he says, in Windows 7, he doesn't have this feature to stop at a certain directory level (depth)
I'd like to setup a automated Syncing Folders from Windows 7 laptop to Windows 7 desktop and back based on newer files only via the network.. (shared folders) I am studing uni which requires me to take my laptop to classes, but when doing anything too hardcore (video editing mainly) I used the more powerful desktop machine. I want it to only sync if the files are newer, but going both ways..
In last SEVEN days I've added music in WMP on my desktop pc. It took me so much because I watched out to get all of the artist, album, genre, year,etc... information correctly and believe me doing it with 70GB of music was pain in the a**. When I finally finished it, I wanted to transfer all the music (with all mp3 data) to My notebook WMP via LAN-cable and I couldn't do it. I only can transfer all the music to my notebook but when i add it to my WMP, files don't have the information mentioned above.
I have an older Toshiba Tecra A5 notebook which does not have a built-in DVD drive, nor do I have an external DVD drive. BIOS does not support USB boot, but does have a PXE boot option.My desktop is an older Dell model with a working DVD, but no wireless capabilities. Both computers are running activated Win 7 Ultimate X86 and are connected through a wireless access point..Linksys WRT54Gv8: running firmware is micro dd-wrt. Both IP's are dynamic, but almost never change.Objective is to use Ultimate boot CD to completely wipe and re-partion the Tecra via the desktop, where Ultimate boot is located. Unable to employ ADHOC, desktop is not wireless, cannot afford to buy anything new, and I also enjoy a good challenge.I am looking for the most basic method, without using homegroup nonsense etc.
I have been trying to sync iTunes version 10.7 with my ipad in Windows 7. I have tried just about everything I can think of and it still goes to sleep or crashes where I have to restart everything when I hit the power buttion.
My battery went dead while I was using Peachtree Accounting. Now when I try to run Peachtree, it won't let me open the program, because it thinks I am already using it. I have uninstalled the program, and re-installed it, but it still thinks I am running the program.
I want to sync them both (at the motherboard/cpu level) to make them work together, is there any way to do achieve this, with these machines? (And im not referring to just file sync, i mean having the clock, cpu, motherboard, memory, on both computers working together as if it were one machine.)
I have a video folder that is quite large and I don't want to lose the files in it.I copied the folder to a separate drive but the drive is small(160GB) and will not allow me to copy the folder twice to it.I add more files to the original folder and when I go to coy/backup I end up having to delete the folder on the separate drive so the original folder with new files will fit.My question is:Is there a way of 'Syncing' the folders so only the new files are copied? Or should I use Windows Backup just for this folder?
Anyone successfully syncing OL 2003 (or 2010) with a current Samsumg Odysse phone ...NOT going through Google's cloud.Is there a direct phone to sync program out there form a desktop PC that bypasses Google's Calendar/Contact system
I am trying to sync a Folder and all its subfolders between two computers. The upper folder show a mofified date that is consistant with what I expect but not all subfolders. and the data in the subfolders are not up to date.The upper folder size is 750mb well with in the size limit.
New laptop with Win 7 will not accept the program. Message: 'The InstallShield (iKernal.exe) could not be installed.' This program (from BBC Who do yopu think you are) is 2007 and installs on Win XP perfectly.
When I open a folder using the tree in the left pane the position of the selected folder change. It's like the layout of the tree pane is not working fine. Maybe they autoscroll in order to display all the child's folders but I don't like this. When the folder i want to open is in the middle of the pane (vertically) it moves often to the bottom and i can't even see the child's folder, and some time it move the opened folder to the top of the pane
I just would like to have the thing working as it's in XP. When we open a folder, this one don't move and the children appears under this one.
I have just upgraded to Windows 7 and have discovered an annoyance with Windows Explorer. When I expand a folder's contents (tree) by clicking on the arrow icon, the entire contents of the left panel jump to the bottom of the visible screen (rather than just the subfolders expanding). The annoyance is that every time I expand a tree in the Explorer, I also have to scroll the contents of the left panel back up (because it jumped down). For example, in Vista, if I expanded a folder tree, only the sub folders would expand and move downward.
I want to rid of my computer of anything apple related. I am getting sick of everything being confusing and difficult to use. And the new ITunes update did not work. Problem is I have an IPhone. And can't sync without ITunes. I've heard something about winamp able to sync IPods, but cant find much info on it. I could care less about backups and all the other garbage ITunes offers. All I want is a way to play music on my computer and also move that music to my IPhone. Nothing else.
When I try to sync music from windows media player to my phone, I get an error message on some songs that says File header too large. What I can do to correct this so the songs will play. I download mp3s from napster & my phone is a Blackjack2.
So I was working with moving my My Documents folder from syncing with Dropbox to Box and I messed up a bit. Well, at least I've found it and have access to it. Now I'm working on restoring a previous version.
Problem A: It's hidden and I can't figure out how to undo that because: Problem B: It's a shortcut and I don't know how to switch that back to something that works Problem C: It won't let me access the previous versions. It says: "Windows cannot access \localhostC$GMT-2012.09.07-20.26.55Users My Documents.
You do not have permission to access "Contact your network administrator to request access". I am the administrator and I have full access to the folder except for the "special permissions" check box which is grayed out empty.
Is Microsoft dumbing down the operating system now with kill mentality of DOS and directory tree.Look at windows vista and windows 7 ![URL] Among other window you open that too much for 7 old kid.Look I can understand file manager along with windows 9.x GUI was very user friendly GUI for more advance computer users but too dangerous for computer novice.In fact it was simple GUI crude in look not candy GUI but was user friendly GUI for more advance computer users .
I have a media library with, surprisingly enough, media in it! Videos to be exact. Each of the sub-folders have in them videos as well as .nfo files for displaying data awesomeness in the likes of XBMC. However, I do not like the way it makes my folders look when I browse to them in explorer.
Is there a way to hide all my *.nfo files only in the Video folder and subfolders?
Namely Libraries/HomeGroup/Network/Control Panel (and Public on a Vista Machine). I found posts on these the other day, but my RegEdit doesn't have a CLSID folder, only CLS, so I couldn't follow those tutorials.

Using Win7, how can I get Win Explorer to automatically expand the C drive tree upon launch? I tried this -- %windir%Explorer.exe /n,/e,c: -- but it did not work.
I am working on a family members computer and she is the only account on the computer and she is the administrator. I am trying to install "Family Tree Maker" for her and keep getting the following message at startup "You are not currently logged into your computer as an administrator. This program requires that login as administrator. Please log out and log back in as an administrator and then restart the program." As I have said she is the only account on the computer and she is the administrator.
