PRS-600 Reader Library How Do I Stop Auto Sync ?

Kevin2960 · 05-13-2010, 04:31 PM

OK, Originally I installed ADE and Reader Library, no probs all worked well,

Now on my 2nd PRS-600, and something I installed later caused a conflict and then neither ADE or Reader Library worked,

After several weeks I got them sorted (Many uninstalls / Reinstalls), and work well,

Previously I had set Reader Library not to Sync on start-up / connection but for the life of me I can’t remember how, and can’t find answer on MR

Can someone please give me instruction or point me to the correct thread / sticky ?

Synch scares me, but maybe plug in your reader, go to Sync view and uncheck any checked folders???

From the Reader Library Help (but doesn't exactly say how to stop sync'ing):

Sync view
Displays the folders that can be synchronized with the Reader device or a compatible memory card.

Place a check mark next to the folder(s) you want specify to synchronize with the Reader device or a compatible memory card.

This scares me, too! Once I unchecked all the folders except where the newest downloaded books go, and the software synced my Reader to show ONLY those books, and it erased every other one on the Reader. Total pain in the ass to fix! So if you use Reader Library to organize all your books, not just your Sony store books, I'd be really careful doing this.

Kevin,
I don't know whether this will be of help to you or not but I made a note of it when I saw it. It may just apply to a PRS-505. To stop automatic launch of Sony Library. Click on START, click on RUN and then type in msconfig. Uncheck the entry that says "eBook Library Launcher. Save, and exit. Might be worth a try.

Kevin,

Sorry to hear it didn't work out for you. I just did a quick search and have come up with another suggestion. I'm unable to post the link for you, but if you do a search using the following......Reader Library (Mac) Sync Issues you should come up with another suggestion which may help you. It's the post by Shopaholic. Give it a lash anyway.
