Increase frequency of Mac to MobilMe/iPhone synch
Authored by: nematodirus on Jul 14, '08 12:27:05PM

Sorry, but this doesn't seem to work for me.

Checking dotmacsync.log in Console shows that the Sync interval remains at 15 minutes regardless of the interval set using this hint. Any idea what I might be doing wrong ?

OK, that's weird.....after about an hour, the iMac has started to Sync every 5 minutes as per the plist setting. Why should it take that long for the setting to "take" ?

Bottom line: this works. Although as others have commented, it is probably not good for the MobileMe servers to have everyone Syncing this frequently. Now I have proved to myself that it works, I may just switch back to 15 minutes.

It might not have loaded the new setting in until it ran the sync again. I had opened and closed the MobileMe prefs pane after making the change so that it would load the new setting. I think also performing a manual sync at that point would also obtain the same result.
