Slow iPhone Sync Fix
I know I’m not the only one to have experienced this. If you’ve been experiencing long iPhone sync times this ones for you.
Anyway today I was syncing mine to prepare it for loading the 2.2 firmware. I rarely sync my phone because it routinely takes over an hour to do so. Frustrating at best!!
I jumped in the shower figuring my phone could sync while I got ready. By the time I was done getting ready the damn thing was STILL syncing… Actually it appeared stuck in the backup phase. I’ve seen this before and knew if I waited long enough it would eventually finish but I had to get to work.
Being the master Googler I am, I quickly found others with the same issue and a solution! A very simple solution.
1. Connect your phone and open
iTunes.
2. Right click your phone name in the
left column list.
3. Click “reset all warnings”
4. Now reconnect your phone
and sync. When the prompt comes
up to ask if you want to send data
to Apple uncheck the checkbox and
say no!
5. Voilà ! Few minute sync and in your
way.
Apparently the bog down a caused by the connection to Apple Servers with so many users. I don’t know if that’s true but it’s what I read.
Hope it helps!!
Dreamweaver PHP Blank Line Replace
If you’ve ever opened a php file with the FTP in Dreamweaver only to have it add tons of blank lines…this one’s for you.
1. Open the find and replace (ctrl+f)
2. In the find box type:
[\r\n]{2,}
3. In the replace box type:
\n
4. Check the box for use regular
expression.
5. Then click the replace all button.
This has worked like a charm for me. For whatever reason Dreamweaver is adding carriage returns to the code. This regex looks for two or more occurances of the carriage return together and replaces them with a line feed.
Hope this helps!

We went to Knott’s Scary Farm the first night, then the convention on Fri and Sat.
