For guys that don't have "Desktop [SYNC]" option, try deleting other services with the word [SYNC] in it. For my case it was my gmail service (GMAIL[SYNC]). I deleted it and the box ungreyed itself out. Of course this is done at your own risk!

I use a personal Bold 9700.

However, today I went to use it for a particular user and now I get this error:

2010-03-10T15:45:27 AST|PushToken(Error )|java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 403 for URL: http://(servername):8080/push?DESTINATION=(email addy)&PORT=6446&REQUESTURI=/

Looks like the same issue as Lewis Papaleo.

I can connect fine to my BES on port 8080 and MDS service is running, nothing has changed that I'm aware of…

any ideas?

Thanks

There is no Desktop [SYNC] under service book. Any ideas?

I use postini so my SPF statement is:

v=spf1 ip4:207.126.144.0/20 ip4:64.18.0.0/20 ip4:74.125.148.0/22 ip4:216.9.240.0/20 ip4:206.51.26.0/24 include:_spf.google.com ~all

I had the following problem which is not exactly the same as the described above, but it is close enough: I updated from 8.x to 9.0.x today and all my music was lost, some 2 GB, all gone to "Others"

I did solve it as follows:
- delete all music, podcast, downloads, videos, recordings from ipod that is still recognisable under the /var/mobile/Media and /var/mobile/Media/iTunes_Control directories, if any (I used openssh)
- move iTunes_control to iTunes_control-bad or similar (move NOT copy) — to make a backup, just in case
- delete all contents inside F00–F13 (in my case just 13 folders) in the Music folder inside iTunes control. This was the "Others" content
- sync

Voilà! "Others" should disappear

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I know that this article was about implementation for an iPhone but as I can see on the article and the comments you guys seem to know your stuff :-) Therefore I would like to ask you if you have experienced when importing the .sdtid file into the RSA application running on Windows Mobile that is prompts for a password. I have not configured the file as copy protected or password protected. The strange thing is it works fine on some of our Windows Mobile phones (HTC) but I have had this issue with two phones now (different HTC types) and of course both are Managers phones :-)

Hope you can advice,
Vik

I am not sure it really lets you opt-out, even when it appears to work.

"In some cases, the ISPs provide settings to disable hijacking of NXDOMAIN responses. Correctly implemented, such a setting reverts DNS to standard behavior. Some ISPs, however, instead use a web browser cookie to store the preference. In this case, the underlying behavior is not resolved: DNS queries continue to be redirected, while the ISP redirect page is replaced with a counterfeit HTTP 404 page. Applications other than web-browsers cannot be opted out of the scheme using cookies."—http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_hijacking

I have not researched to see which method the comcast opt-out implementation uses. I was told however that deleting cookies and clearing the cache were part of the process, along with rebooting the modem and a 24+ hour wait.

I do know however that their is an alternative that works immediately. Use an alternate DNS server on your local machine.
Comcast provides a list of opt-out DNS servers here.

The quote below shows the public DNS servers I use. For me they have proven fast and reliable, mileage may vary. There is a more thorough list at the cited link.

Service provider: vnsc-pri.sys.gtei.net
Public Name server IP address:

* 4.2.2.1
* 4.2.2.2
* 4.2.2.3
* 4.2.2.4
* 4.2.2.5
* 4.2.2.6

I hope this proves helpful.
