Comment on How to Hack Your Nano / Nike+ Run Data When iPod Freezes by nsa

hi gabe,
i recently upgraded from a 2nd gen nano to 5th gen. i managed to get the workout data from the old unit into my new one.

the annoying bit is that the workout history kept showing 2 workouts (1 run and 1 pedometer) instead of 1+54(which is the count of my runs in the old unit).

have reset the new nano a number of times, still the same. my itunes is showing the correct info though. have u come across a problem like this?

Hi Brent- yes, I do think that would be a great solution for storing and collaborating on the source files since Dropbox, as you say, allows sync of local files on local hard drives (where Articulate performs best) - not to mention the backup on the Dropbox site.

You might also consider Windows LiveSync, formerly FolderShare, which I wrote about previously here.

Hi Gabe - Thanks for getting back to me. We have about 225 content items on AO and have always struggled with the ability to share and co-develop courses (we have developers all over the world). We may use dropbox to be the location for storing and publishing our Articulate content. Right now we all publish our Articulate content which is stored on our hard drives. Since Articulate does best when publishing from hard drives, I thought this would be a great way to collaborate on courses. This also avoids sending “project files” back and forth…

Does this make sense? Or do you have another recommendation (FYI, we do not work of network drives).

Brent

Hi Brent- thanks for asking. I assume you’re referring to storing your source Articulate project files in Dropbox? Sure, you could definitely do that - it’d be a great way to keep your project files safe (since Articulate Online only hosts the published output).

Here’s another good way to create a backup archive of your source project files: Send to Articulate Presenter Package. Then you could store that zip file in your Dropbox account.

Hi Gabe - Do you know if I can use DropBox to house all my AP/QM files that I publish to AO? This would cool so others can edit the files…

Comment on Use Backblaze for Online Backup by Online Backups Review

Backblaze has an amazing online backup service; many Mac users find their product superior to Mozy (which I use on some of my PCs). What I tell people is if you’re on a Mac, go with Backblaze; if on PC, go with Mozy.

So just in the month or so since plugging reMail, it’s been acquired by Google.

Hi Clare- doh! Bummer it happened again. I’m not sure what to suggest - other than to stick with the Garmin - did waiting for battery to die save the run?
