Hi All,
Thanks for the tip about MediaMonkey 4.1.25 as initially I could not synch on 4.1.24 a few days back. :)

My details are:
1) brand new iPhone 8 activated Tuesday, 256GB storage and new USB cable.
2) I'd upgraded to iOS 13.1 from 12.4 Wed without considering how it would affect MMW, Syncing failed
3) Otherwise on Windows 10, I've the latest iTunes 12.10, 64 bit
4) Number of Songs in my library 24,120 (99+ MP3 around 160 bit sampling rate)

All seems to be moving along, albeit quite slowly. Obviously 4.1.25 is in testing so no worries, but at the pace I'm going having kicked off my auto-sync Thursday evening, I won't finish until Monday. So my phone will be tethered to my PC all weekend.

I've killed off all running programs, apps, etc... to free up resources.

---> Is there anything else that can be done to improve the pace some pls?

Thanks,
Chris

Hi,

If sync slowness persists with build 4.1.25.1889, can you generate a debug log as described in step 4 at https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewt ... ?f=6&t=341 ?

Thanks!

Hi Rusty,
Thanks for your reply about logging a debug report. I'll do that if I continue to have trouble. Currently I'm down to about 750 MP3s remaining out of about 24,000, so I'm excited to be done syncing to my new iPhone. I did confirm, that I've got the same build 4.1.25.1889 as another poster said that there were no latency problems reported.

I'll keep an eye out for the pace of future auto-syncing, especially if latency continues in future MMW releases. I am a new bie of MMW. I was very happy to see that when my auto-sync was interrupted that the operation picked up where it left off from the last sync.

Eventually I do want to research reasons why some MP3s did not sync. I noted some were of type M4A format. I fear I just have some MP3 that became corrupted earlier this summer when my tags became "scrambled". I'm very grateful for MMW as I had to repair about 15,000 tracks. I'll also want to dive deeper into the details of what was synced to my iPhone as compared to the values in the Song, Artist, Genre, Album Title, fields, etc... as I was pretty careful to clean all of those details up prior to my first auto-sync.

Also MMW sounds like they'll continue to support even older Apple devices, like the 'Classic', which iTunes does not any more or so I've learned, but that's for another post some time. :)

Thanks again,
Chris

Can you let us know when build 4.1.25.1890 will be out to test the Sync. It's exactly the same issue in 5.0.0.2201.

Hi,
Both 1890 and 2203 are in internal testing. It should be available very soon.

Update: Tried to add 182 mp3's to my iphone SE this morning. 1.5 hours later it's still working (at #118 of 182..)

1889 installed.

Update 10/10/19: 1891 seems to have fixed the speed issue.

Hello,
I got the same problem after updating my iPhone X to iOS 13.1.2.
Synchronization is too slow now. (Build 1889).

Hi all,

I'm using the same beta reslease as all to sync with IOS 13.1.2 with an iPhone 7. To me it is essential that it works as before because I'm using the synch mechanisme to sync playlists used in my cycling lessons.

For 20 Songs to sync it takes just an hour to sync the songs and build the playlist.

As fast as Apple announces updates for IOS 13, I know that it is difficult to keep your Software updated, but I think it is a must.

Kind regards
Willi

PS: now I sync again a playlist with 31 songs, and something is noticeable. The first song in the list took a very long time to be copied to my iPhone, then the next 9 songs were copied very fast as expected than the 10th took a lot of time and 20st song took about meanwhile about 5 minutes and ist still on the way to be copied to the phone. Now the last one took as long as the first and the 10th and the 20st Song. But the list isn't present on the phone. Perhaps someone could confirm this behaviour.

Unable to synch, iOS 13.1.2

Post by zzaj2018 »

I recently updated my iPhone to iOS 13.1.2; every time I connect the phone (with MM latest version open), it gives me a message that states "The iPhone/Pod firmware is not compatible with this version of MM. You'll be able to view the contents of the device but will not be able to write to it". I surely HOPE you're working on a solution now, because I really, REALLY need this capability

NEVER mind... I didn't realize there was a 4.1.25 version for MM; updated and it seems to have fixed everything.
