How To Sync Automatically Between My Documents In Computer To Dropbox

Sep 14, 2014

Dropbox is so convenient that I recently bought 1 tb space. So I am trying to make use of its large space.

Here is my question. I use mainly "My Documents" folder (in Win 7 and 8 computers) for creating, updating and modifying files everyday. Then I MANUALLY sync the same My Documents folder with that in the Dropbox.

My question is whether there is a way to sync automatically between My Documents in my computer to that in Dropbox. If My Documents folder in Dropbox automatically sync with My Documents folder in my computer, it would be very convenient. Is that possible?

Computer Wakes At 3:14 AM To Sync Hardware Clock

Oct 6, 2013

I am tired of having a computer in my bedroom waking up sometimes multiple times in the morning hours--like approximately 3 or 4 A.M. Support people have tried to stop this operation but to no avail. It still is doing it although less frequently now. This morning at 3:14 A.M., it woke up automatically and then shut down a few minutes later.

In Event Viewer it said at 3:14 A.M.: The system time has changed to ‎2013‎-‎10‎-‎06T10:14:28.500000000Z from ‎2013‎-‎10‎-‎06T06:11:17.671868600Z. Change Reason: System time synchronized with the hardware clock. I attached a screen shot of the info in Event Viewer, for your reference.

Why does the computer have to do this at 3:14 A.M.? Can't this occur some other time like during the day when the computer is running?

Audio :: Can't Sync IPod With New Windows 8 Computer

Apr 17, 2013

I recently purchased an HP notebook running windows 8. My previous machine ran Vista. I transferred my music to the HP and have purchased new music. However when I try to sync, my iPod does not pick up the newly purchased music. The iPod "says" it's syncing but the music isn't picked up. Is it a Windows 8 problem?

Computer Constantly Crashes When Accessing My Documents

May 31, 2013

So recently my computer was dealing with 'memory full' despite still telling me that there was space left. Anyways I deleted a lot of files in my downloads as well as other unimportant files {all files created by me for like school work, photoshop edits etc ....

Ever since then my computer has been constantly crashing whenever I attempt to right click in documents. I can right click on desktop and on the internet but the moment I try to access my documents and right click (I tried this in my computer etc, same thing) and it just crashes. I can still save documents and delete them (using highlight and then deleting them that way) but otherwise it crashes?

It also occasionally doesn't let me see that I have any documents,downloads and the such. I have windows 8 laptop from samsung.

Have I somehow accidentally deleted an important file that is causing it to crash? If so would there be a way to work out what one and restore it?

How To Use Agent Ransack To Search And Then Add Files To Dropbox

Aug 28, 2013

I was messing around with how to use Agent Ransack to search and then add files to Dropbox.

I wanted to make a test folder to try the process on so I didn't have to delete them afterwards, and I found that I don't know any way to add a folder to the Send to option on the right click menu.

If you use "Send to to the desktop" it creates a shortcut, the option to send to Dropbox is there, installed when I installed Dropbox.

But what if I want to create a new location and have it show on the Send To menu?

Is there a way to do that?

How To Transfer Dropbox Files To Pictures Folder In Win 8

Jul 23, 2013

I don't understand this at all. Why did they take away this VERY important function? You can no longer drag and drop pictures to and from dropbox to a folder on your computer! This is so aggravating that I feel like throwing my computer in the trash. I cannot use skydrive. It won't link to it and it won't let me transfer files to another location on my computer.

There is a "pictures" folder but it refuses to let me transfer files from skydrive or dropbox! This is extremely aggravating when trying to backup four years of vacation pictures. It also disables the drag and drop function from ANYTHING else: CDs, USB drives, hard drives. I'm so angry now that I might consider buying a used computer just to transfer the files.

How To Sync Apps And Layout

Oct 20, 2013

i have one laptop and htpc running windows 8.1 and can't figure out how the sync works. Yesterday, i set it all up and and today turned my htpc on to have the same apps and layout. But nothing changed, turned the both pcs on and off and it did change but the other way, htpc to laptop, so got a messy layout.

Deleted all the apps from the start screen and started again but now won't change in neither of them. Just changed the wallpaper many times and sometimes changes but other times it doesn't.

SkyDrive Won't Sync In Windows 8.1

Oct 22, 2013

SkyDrive was working decently for me until recently. These last 2 weeks it stopped syncing. It won't sync my files and folders.

But, when I save a word document directly from Word 2013 to SkyDrive it is synced.

Cannot figure out what is the problem, checked all settings locally (my notebook) as well as online. I have Windows 8.1 (x64) RTM with all the lastest updates installed.

Accounts :: MS Account Password Not In Sync Between Win 8.1 And Hotmail

Dec 22, 2013

I have a MS account in Win 8.1 which automatically logs me in.

Lately, I can only access my Hotmail and Skydrive through their respective Start Screen Apps. When I try to log on to either of them using my browser, I get an "Incorrect Password" message.

Although I didn't changed it, my password for Hotmail and Skydrive is not in sync with Win 8.1. So, is there any way for me to find out what my Win 8 password is so I can log in to my Hotmail and Skydrive accounts on the web?

Accounts :: Cannot Get Profile To Reliably Sync To New Devices

Jun 28, 2013

I can't seem to get my profile to reliably sync to new devices or when I've tried clean installs on my main system. I have all settings checked to sync and the PCs are all trusted devices. Sometimes it will sync the desktop background and my profile picture, others it may sync some of my explorer settings. Sometimes it may not sync anything at all. My homegroup on any other devices also gets renamed to "winliveid_000" instead of the usual "winliveid@xyz.com." I've yet to figure out why this happens as well. I've tried deleting the data and trying again, all with the same result.

This has honestly all been an issue ever since I've installed Windows 8 and I'm starting to dislike the profile sync altogether. If it cannot reliably sync my data and all of it, I don't understand it's usefulness. I've also run the account troubleshooting tool, which gives a cryptic message saying "The following settings are turning sync off: Personalization." It gives no further details that I can see or look into and all settings are on. I've taken a look at Windows 8.1 and it seems that you have no choice but to initially use your Microsoft account to sign in, which is troubling. If it cannot be fixed, I may have to delete my synced profile online every time I try to reinstall my main system.

Apps / Software :: OneDrive / SkyDrive Won't Sync?

Jul 16, 2014

I have three machines running Windows 8.1 Update 1 and for some reason one of the machines does not like OneDrive. When I first boot the system the OneDrive Cloud appears in the tray. However, as soon as I hover the mouse over it to see the sync status the Cloud Icon goes away and I think I get the SkyDive 1000 error in the Event Log. I don't know what I did to screw it up on this machine

Browsers/Mail :: Sync Tabs In IE 11 - How To Manage Machines

Dec 2, 2013

This new sync tab feature in IE11 is handy. But it's also a bit annoying. I have about 7 or 8 PCs I use frequently and I re-install the OS all the time. So I end up with orphan machines that appear in IE 11 sync tabs and I can't seem to find a way to remove them. I also noticed that these tabs mysteriously disappeared on some of my machines.

Apps / Software :: Missing Notifications And Sync From Mail App

Jul 7, 2014

I'm having an issue concerning the default Mail app from Win 8.1. I have set up two mail accounts: my default Microsoft account and an extra Office 365 account. Notifications are turned on for all mail and mails are downloaded as they arrive. But I'm not getting notifications for the default account. Might I add that synchronization is not automatic and I need to open the app to get the new mail. The second account works okay, though.

Windows Store Failed To Sync Machine Licenses

Dec 30, 2013

Event ID: 512
Task Category: None
Level: Error
Description:
Windows Store failed to sync machine licenses. Result code 0x80070002

The above is last error that I still have in Event Log. My understanding is that I should sing in with Microsoft store to get rid of this error.

And that is the thing: I am not willing to sign. I never bought anything from MS App Store (which I disabled). So how can I stop this annoying attempts of licenses syncing?

I did some extensive search but could not find any solution to the problem except signing with App Store.

Windows 8.1 Sync Settings - Desktop Background Not Syncing

Jun 9, 2014

Alright so I have a PC with a licensed Windows 8.1 Pro, been logging in with Microsoft account for about 3-4 months now and I absolutely love it. I purchased a laptop 5 days ago, and decided to format the whole thing and do a fresh install (the way I like it ).

Of course I signed it with Microsoft account and everything was just lovely. My Metro apps came back, my theme synced etc.

The only problem I have is that my desktop background refuses to sync. I remember having "Synced theme" on my new laptop under My themes (Desktop right click -> Personalize) but I deleted that and now how to get it back

TL;DR Signed in with MS account on my PC and laptop and desktop background doesn't sync. I deleted "Synced theme" and how to restore it.

Disable Skydrive Sync And Login Without Nuking System?

So at some point in time I enabled skydrive sync, as a result I have to login to my live account on every boot and some new folders in explorer, which doesn't do anything for me. What's the safe way to disable it? I don't care about skydrive sync as I'm already doing regular system images.

Network / Sharing :: Selective SkyDrive Sync For Work Stations

Jan 13, 2014

I have three computers that are used for different purposes. I want to be selective on which files/folders have local copies on the different machines. Here's an outline of the system and the goals:

One SkyDrive account with folders F1, F2, F3.

Laptop 1 runs Win7Pro and needs local copies of folders F1, F2, F3
Tablet 2 runs Win8Pro and needs local copies of folders F1, F2
Laptop 3 runs Windows 8.1Pro and needs local copy of F3 only

Can this be done?

Browsers/Mail :: Flash Player Audio And Video Sync?

Jun 10, 2013

When using Flash Player within IE10 in 8, audio and video synch is fine at standard small screen, but when I go to full screen they do not synch. The video is behind timing with the audio. It looks as though the video skips now and then trying to catch up with the audio. I dual boot with 7 and do not have a problem with Flash within IE10 there, so I'm assuming it's not hardware. This happens on any site using Flash.

All the settings in both Flash Players are the same. The only difference is that my 7 OS is 32 bit with 32bit Flash whereas my 8 OS is 64bit with 32bit Flash.

Apps / Software :: Win 8 Applications Don't Redownload Or Sync Back After Reboot

I usually reboot my computer once to three times a year. Every time I reboot my computer and reinstall windows 8 and then resign in with my Microsoft I.D. that I use for my computer it never remembers or syncs the apps that I have downloaded from the Microsoft Store app.

My question is, are any of the apps that I download or purchase from the Microsoft Store app remembered, stored or synced with the Microsoft Store in the cloud etc or do I have to redownload everything again and again and again every time I reinstall windows 8?

Browsers/Mail :: Sync Global Address Book With Contacts?

Dec 13, 2013

Why can I not sync my Global Address Book? When I add info via active directory, it updates in the GAB, not in the contact list, and the contact list is what shows on the phone....and is what we need to update as we add info!!!!! Why isn't this possible? That isn't "syncing" that is just refreshing what is already there! We have around 500 employees, and having to log into each of there emails and add new contacts manually is NOT ok.

How do I sync my droid with exchange's GAB? Like I said, I can copy all of the GAB to contacts, but that doesn't do anything? It doesn't update in there when you add or change information..
