Apple – Support – Discussions – iPhone 4 iTunes Unknown Sync Error 13019 ….  Two ways to fix this.

  1. Delete voice memos.
  2. I also experienced this error, but didn’t want to delete my voice memos so went this route:

(1) opened iTunes
(2) clicked Music
(3) searched for Voice Memos
(4) right-clicked on one Voice Memo and chose Show in Finder
(5) right-clicked my Voice Memos folder (in Finder) and chose “compress” to make backup
(6) back in iTunes, I re-ordered my Voice Memos by length… with the idea that the same length ones might be duplicats… then played same-length ones back-to-back to make sure they were duplicates and deleted the 2nd (or sometimes more) duplicated file

Of course then (after!) I found the following command in iTunes that can probably more reliably display dups, and you may be able to delete by playing back-to-back to confirm:

(7) chose FILE/DISPLAY DUPLICATES (Thanks krisvannest)

    iTunes forgets my iPad

    UncleToft figured it out himself.  Good detective work.

    I think it may have been due to a faulty backup. I went to Preferences/Devices and then deleted the backup I had there.After reconnecting the iPad, iTunes now started syncing properly. Happy days!

    A Batch Image Converter that is FREE, FAST and EASY (via What’s On My PC)

    So if you need an free image converter this sounds like a good option. I wrote a few days about about BIMP Lite. Search for that and you might find which is better for you.

    A Batch Image Converter that is FREE, FAST and EASY If you own a digital camera don’t be fooled into thinking that you are at the mercy of the software that oftentimes ships with the camera. There are many other numerous software options available (for FREE) that will make your life much easier.

    Sharing clipboard and pasteboard between Wireshark(X11) and Mac OSX

    Apple – Support – Discussions – Sharing clipboard and pasteboard ….

    Nice step by step.  Thanks boycemac.

    By checking through Apple
    Discussion Forum, I fixed the problem by below procedure:

    1. Delete any “.X” file in your home directory, such as “.Xauthority”, in my
    case
    - It will be automatically recreated

    2. Delete “org.x.X11.plist” in ~/Library/Preferences
    - It will be automatically recreated

    3. Moving the .wireshark and .wireshark-etc to other name

    When I open wireshark again, it would like a program having just newly
    installed and start over again.

    Then I can copy and paste the content between Wireshark packet-capture and
    editor in MacOS.
