Customizing Your Sync Settings
To set up a custom sync:
1. Connect a FreeAgent drive or other external USB drive to your computer. Ensure that
it appears in the drive list in Seagate Media. (For help, see Chapter 10 “Solving
Problems” on page 57.)
2. Open Seagate Media, then select the drive you want to sync.
Use the Default Settings to:
• Sync all media file formats
• Sync all media files in supported formats in your Movies, Pictures, and Music
folders
• Sync automatically when a drive is connected
Use Customized Settings to:
• Select the folders you want to sync from any drive on your computer
• Select the media file formats you want to sync
• Choose either automatic or manual sync
3. Click the Add + button, find and select the folders you want to sync, then click Add to
Sync.
4. In the Sync Only These Files list, select the media types you want to synchronize,
then click Sync Now to begin the initial sync job.
The initial sync job may take some time depending on how many media files you have.
Disabling Automatic Sync
To switch from automatic to manual syncs:
1. Open Seagate Media.
2. Deselect Automatic Sync.
Automatic Sync is disabled. Remember to manually start syncs to keep the files on your
media player current.
