CHAPTER 31 Common Questions
I made updates to a file on my device, but when I synchronize,
the changes don’t show up in the file on my computer.
If you use LifeDrive Manager to transfer a file or folder to your device, you must select whether
that item synchronizes. You can either select the Keep synchronized
option during file transfer, or
make the file or folder a sync item
once it is on the hard drive.
If you move an item into a sync folder
on the hard drive, the item automatically synchronizes.
However, the item synchronizes to the copy of the sync folder on your computer, not to its original
location—the version in the original location remains unchanged.
File transfer is taking place slowly.
If you are working with large files or using large applications such as games on your device, file
transfer may go more slowly. Quit all device applications to speed file transfer.
When I try to delete a file using LifeDrive Manager, a message appears
saying the file is busy.
If you are working with a file on your device—for example, editing a document or listening to a
music file—you cannot delete the file using LifeDrive Manager. Close the file on your device and
then delete it.
I can’t write a memo or enter a contact when my device is in Drive
Mode.
When your device is in Drive Mode, it works just like any external drive such as a CD drive. You
cannot enter or work with information directly on your device while it is in Drive Mode. To work
with information directly on your device, turn Drive Mode off.
When your device is in Drive Mode and is connected to a computer, you can open files from your
device’s internal drive on the computer using Windows Explorer or My Computer (on a Windows
computer) or Finder (on a Mac computer), and work with them there.
Your device still displays alerts, such as for appointments or new email messages, when in Drive
Mode.
