Isn't Quicktime owned by Apple? Is this because Quicktime uses the language locale?
Anyway, back to the sync. The following has happened 3 days running after I've booted up the m/cs and done my reps. on the server. >> I switch off the firewall on both client & server: 1st attempt: sync fails with client timing out waiting for the server. The server is 'checking for edited media files'. >> I 'OK' the client message & cancel the sync on the server. 2nd attempt: sync fails again with client waiting on the server. Server is either 'checking for edited media files' or 'dynamically creating media files'. >> I 'OK' the client message & cancel the sync on the server. 3rd attempt: client reports that a full sync needs to happen. I select 'fetch remote db'. Sync works. >> I switch the firewall back on on both m/c's & do a few more reps. on the >> server. 4th attempt: sync works again. Does this help? B.
