The synchronization process means when many individual processes join to perform certain task. You can synchronize various devices with the Mac OS using iSync, which is a synchronization tool for Mac, developed by Apple Inc. The Mac supported devices such as IPod etc, synchronizes the database of Address Book, iCal and other applications with the Mac OS using the synchronization tool. With the help of iSync, you can easily transfer your data including media files from any device to Mac computer and vice versa. iSync can also synchronize non Apple based devices, which are SynML enabled and it works through a USB or bluetooth connection. The data transfer rate of iSync is very high with IEE 1394 serial bus interface. Under some circumstances, there is a possibility of data loss from Mac OS hard drive while synchronizing using iSync application. One reason can be failed synchronization process. Nevertheless, you can recover Mac data after failed synchronization using Mac data recovery tool such as “Remo Recover (Mac) Pro Edition”.
Synchronization process failure may happen because of the following reasons:
- If you are synchronizing SynML enabled device with your Mac OS using iSync, any interruption during the synchronization process may lead to data loss.
- If you have kept the synchronization to take place automatically, incorrect date and time in either computer or device may cause the synchronization process to fail.
- Synchronization process may also fail if you attempt to synchronize various devices simultaneously.
- There is an option “Erase data on device then sync” with the iSync utility, if you accidentally select that option you will lose your valuable data.
- Synchronization process may also fail because of power outage or in case of hard drive crash.
- If some of the key files of iSync gets corrupted or deleted because if viruses or malware, the synchronization may fail in between processing and you will lose data at this scenario.
Failed synchronization process will lead to significant data loss. Therefore, you should always create backup of all your data before you synchronize any device with Mac OS. Manually you can select “Merge data on computer and device” option from iSync setting, which will not erase any data from the connected device. In case, you have lost data because of the failure of synchronization process and do not have backup, it is recommended to use third party utility software to recover lost data.
Remo Recover (Mac) Pro Edition is particularly designed to scan the Mac hard drive and recover lost Mac data from it using strong in-build algorithms. This is a safest tool, which ensures complete data recovery after failed synchronization. This software recovers Mac data from HFS, HFS+, HFSX, and FAT file system volumes. Data loss from formatted or re-formatted volumes, deleted or missing volumes, and re-partitioned drives can also be recovered. Document files, audio files, video files, application files etc all are recoverable. You can download the free demo version of this software. This software recognizes and preserves file names after recovery. You can later buy the licensed version of this software to save the recovered data.
