iDisk Failed to Sync
21 December 2008, Hedi Regaya | Comments
An error message that I don’t wish none of you to meet, but it’s happening to me these days on two Mac’s.
This post comes after the one I announced in the OS X update, not sure it’s OS 10.5.6 but I have some doubts on that.
Solution 1 is the following:
- Turn off iDisk Sync (click the Stop button in the iDisk pane of MobileMe preferences, in System Preferences).
- Restart your computer.
- From the Go menu, choose Home.
- Open the Library folder.
- For Mac OS X 10.4 or earlier: Remove the Mirrors folder
- For Mac OS X 10.5: Remove the FileSync folder
- Restart your computer.
- Re-enable iDisk Sync.
Solution 2:
Someone calling themselvesĀ dotwaffleĀ on the mac discussion boards gave the following solution:
… disconnect the iDisk, turn off Syncing, open a Finder with the iDisk mounted online, then opened iTerm (Terminal will do)
I navigated to my iDisk (in my case cd /Volumes/dotwaffle) and ran the following command:
sudo rm -rf .FileSync/ .TemporaryItems/ ._.TemporaryItems .com.apple.timemachine.supported
