I am looking for an app to sync my hero over wifi with itunes on a mac.
I have found TuneSync which seems to be exactly what I want but for Windows only.
My phone is rooted.
Thanks

Yes, as far as I know a program called discover pro allowed you transfer your files to your phone without a cable(via wifi), but I don't think it'll be recognized by iTunes...
Yet, hero doesn't need iTunes to sync music at all, you just copy your music to the folder and it'll find it.
Hope these may help.

Hi there,
I am looking for some Android Sync softwares which can syncronize data between PC and Android cell phones wirelessly.
Is there any good one?
Suggestions:
Short answer: "it depends".
For music I have used isyncr, which syncs to iTunes. isyncr lives on your SD card & will bring in playlists. Look in the market. There is a Wi-Fi add-on that you can also get from the market.
Of course, Dropbox & Box.net can sync folders through the 'net. I think Box.net is finally going to ship their app soon. Dropbox is available now in the market.
I know you want wireless, but using a wire and "Sync Toy" (a Microsoft product, believe it or not) can sync quickly. You can set it to sync any folder(s) on your computer with folder(s) on your SD card. I use it to sync pictures, docs, etc. It works fast so you'd only be attached for a bit. You can set multiple sync plans, which makes it a quick & easy way to keep a current backup of your SD card as well.
Hello guys, one of my friends has a Samsung Galaxy S2 and I am helping him to set up the phone to his needs. He used to have a bulletproof HTC Touch Pro, but since he switched to Android I feel that everytime we try to do something really simple and straight-forward we fail miserably or we spend so much time doing research and trying to find a solution, that we eventually give up in the end and think that our ideas are either ridiculous or there is no application on the market that can meet our expectations. This time we try to do a simple picture syncronisation like it used to be on the old WinMo devices - between a folder, containing all pictures on a PC and the built-in gallery on the smartphone. When you add a picture to the folder on the PC it gets automatically synced to the handheld and when you take a picture with the phone it gets copied to the folder on the computer. In the same way when you delete a picture on the phone it gets deleted on the PC and vice versa. All pictures on both devices must be available when there is no internet connection. We already tried the following solutions:
- Google Drive - pictures that are in the Drive are not listed in the phone's gallery, but in the GDrive app, which is inconvinient, as there is no preview and you must always be connected to internet to view all pics. Besides all that, even being connected with Wi-Fi it takes ages to load a picture properly. You can easily mark a picture to be accessible offline, but try doing that to 22GB of photos. We could not find a way to mark all photos automatically as available offline on adding. There is no two way sync between the gallery and Google Drive - when you delete a picture from the gallery it does not get deleted from the Drive and the other way around.
- Picasa - we tried to use it in addition to the Drive, but it gets even more compicated and laggy.
- Dropbox - there is no two way sync between the gallery on the phone and Dropbox gallery.
- SkyDrive - same here.
Are we missing something or these applications do not offer the features that we are looking for? Can you please recommend a product that does this job as it used to be done in the old days - fast and simple? I am very pleased with Microsoft Live Mesh which I am using to sync my documents folders between my PC, notebook and SkyDrive - it does all of the above brilliantly right up to the moment when you add an Android phone to the mix.
Thank you in advice for your responses!
You can use FolderSync similar programs

Running Mt. Lion and latest Sync Mgr download. Appeared to install OK but will not start either on connect of the HTC One or manually. Anyone got this to work?
So far I am using Missing Sync for Android to transfer Music and Photos to device, Android File Transfer to transfer Photos to Mac, and Smooth Sync for Contacts and Calender to sync to iCloud and all that is working. But I would like to get the Sync Mgr working if possible.
Thanks for any help or info.

Obvious answers.
1. Uninstall and re-install.
2. Unplug your Mac, take it back to the store and buy a *insert Windows PC brand here* (Sorry have to do this one)
3. Software Requirements (Macintosh):
Mac OS X 10.6 or higher version
Microsoft Office for Mac 2011
Source: HTC.com
Or just get a real computer
Didn't know you could still buy one of those "real" computers. Understand sales are almost non-existent but there must be a few die hards around.
Forgot to mention same setup worked great on HTC ONE X+.
Did I mention I am looking for help?

Thanks for the help. I did try turning off AFT since it automatically pops up and then nothing happens but maybe I need to uninstall it. I'll give that a try.
thanks again.

For photos I use DropBoks. Works great...it will sync all pictures to the cloud and sync them to any computer (Mac or PC) running DropBoks.
I will try Missing Sync and see if it can sync my music and playlists.
Surprised to see so much anti mac stuff here.......

Thanks, I'll take a look at DropBoks. I have so much stuff on iPhoto - up to about four different libraries now - that I really enjoy just plugging in my iPhone and syncing everything with no hassle. That is really why I keep going back to it even though all the new Android phones are really nice. I would like to enjoy the great phone features instead of fighting the sync problems.
So i want to export my calendar from my windows pc & outlook 2007 to my xperia tab without having to use google cloud NSA/GCHQ snooping software, is there any way to do this please?
i managed to sync contacts via sony's pc companion, which requested ring 0 level access to my pc, like WTF are sony trying to implement more snooping rootkits or what, sry i digress, yep so i DENIED sony snoopware ring zero & managed to sync contacts but the software does not include a workaround google for calenders unlike my samsung software.
is there any FREE way i can sync my phone to my tab or pc to my tab without google?
As i say i already have my outlook synced via samsungs kias software, using this, in the uk allows you to move outlook data without having to use the cloud unlike sony's data snooping offering, so is there any way to transfer the data from my samsung android phone directly to my xperia z tab, where is this data stored on the android device pls, and can i just copy paste it?
ok fixed, what i did was install iCal Import/Export 2.0 >> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tk.drlue.icalimportexport
exported on my samsung s3 & imported to my sony xperia z
i guess if you dont have a samsung, youre kinda out of luck but if anyone knows of any other work around, please post as there is thread after thread of people trying to do exactly what i have managed to do, without having to sync to google snooping cloud servers anyway!
Have a look at CalendarSync. Not sure about the free version, but the paid one allows you to create a calendar at your device itself. Works like a charm for me.
Sent from my SGP311 using XDA Premium HD app
To copy calendar data from one android device to another I often use myphoneexplorer available in the Google play.
>>> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fjsoft.myphoneexplorer.client&hl=de
It consists of to parts - a phone and a desktop app that can be synchronized. Also you can choose between different export formats.
Works perfectly every time.

This is from an article on CNET, sorry I can't post any links yet since I'm new to this forum.
"Before you begin setting up your Android device, you're going to need a Google account, be it a Google Apps or Gmail account. It's not required on an Android device, but if you're going to take advantage of all that Android has to offer, you'll want to sign up for one. You'll be asked to log in to this account during the initial setup process on your Android device. If you skipped this step and want to go back and add the account later, you can go to Settings > Accounts > Add Account > Google. This same process can be followed to add another type of account (Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.).
Contacts, Calendar and Mail
If your contacts are syncing from your iPhone to Gmail, transferring them will be a breeze. Just make sure you sign into your Android device using the same account you use on your iPhone and make sure Contact sync is enabled. For other accounts, such as Yahoo, you'll need to export your contact list from the Web site for the account. You can typically find this in settings for your account. Or, some carriers offer a free app in the App Store built specifically for transferring your contacts. Verizon and AT&T have apps that do just that.
Should you be an iCloud user, you can still use your iCloud account to sync calendars and contacts to your Android device, but you're going to have to purchase a couple of apps. I have talked about one of the apps before, called SmoothSync for Cloud Contacts; the calendar app is called SmoothSync for Cloud Calendar. These two apps will add your iCloud account to your Android device, allowing you to keep your iPad or Mac in sync with your Android device. This comes in especially useful if you're sharing an iCloud calendar with a family member and don't want to force him or her to switch to Google Calendar just because you've switched to Android.
Music
Perhaps one of the quickest steps of moving from an iPhone to Android is getting your music collection on your new device. What you'll need to do is download the Google Music app to your computer and point it at your music collection. Google will then store your music in the cloud, up to 20,000 songs for free, and let you stream it on your shiny new Android device via the Music app. Anytime you add new music to your catalog, the Music Manager app will automatically upload and sync it to your Android device for you.
If using Google Music isn't possible for you, you can drag-and-drop the music on your computer into the Music folder (create one if it's not present) on your Android device via a USB connection. Mac users will have to use the Android File Transfer app to access their device's storage.
Photos
With the introduction of iCloud and its Photo Stream service, getting photos off your iOS device is easy. Using iPhoto on a Mac, or installing the iCloud Control Panel on a Windows machine you can conveniently grab photos from your iPhone and then sync them to your Android device via USB or through your Google+ account.
For videos on your iPhone, you'll need to use iTunes, iPhoto, or a file explorer to grab the files. Using a program like iExplorer, Image Capture (found in the Utilities folder on a Mac), or the native Windows File Explorer taking the files off your device is simple.
Going forward, you can sync photos from your Android device to your computer via USB, or by installing the Dropbox app and enabling its Camera Upload feature. Rather not mess with a file explorer? The Dropbox Camera Upload feature is another method to get photos off of your iPhone and on to your computer."
Hi- Some of this information may have been posted by "Moreno2.0" but I wanted to give you some info very concisely.
1. From what I can tell, if you have already been syncing your contacts with google, you're set. If not, you may have to export your contacts and then import them into gmail (should be a relatively easy procedure.) I found the following site that may assist you with this and your music. http://goo.gl/OsGcPe
2. Google Play Music SHOULD import all your album art, etc.
3. The biggest thing about Android is the fact that if you want your phone to do something, most likely you can. You chose the #1 Android development related forum to come to, and you should definitely stay active around here (at least checking out what projects people are working on etc.) to help your experience a lot. A ton of the apps I use daily I probably wouldn't have heard about until I came here. Not everything makes Editor's Choice on Google Play.
4. I don't see how you would lose your features if you use an official update method. Most of the time you will update via OTA (over the air) and your phone will notify you that you have an update ready to install. I'm not familiar with your device's specifics, but if you check out its related forum- you may find that you can Odin (Samsung Tool) update to 4.4 or another software release in the future.
Welcome to Android, and please feel free to personally message me if you have any questions. I'm not a developer (yet, working on that), but I know quite a bit. I'm an iOS convert myself.
