Just loaded Forza up and .. "This Xbox (Newer)" or "Sync from Cloud ...

Hi Folks ..

When I loaded Forza 5 up earlier I received message ..

Something about my save on the Cloud being older than was on my console and to choose either ..

"This Xbox (Newer) " or Synch from Cloud ( Older )" ..

I chose "newer" and all seems ok but just wondered if anyone else has ever received this? I've had "Synching With Cloud" a few times but never this with option to choose, just wondered if it's normal lol

iCloud sync... Error code 0x80072746 Must read if buying New Xbox

[quote user="ROB ROY LIVI"]Xbox have a prob sync iCloud to your new box[/quote]iCloud is an Apple service. It has nothing to do with XBOX Live.

Microsoft should "fix" Cloud saves so that they sync without
being required to play every single game that has a Cloud save associated with it. I've played Halo Anniversary and Saints Row The Third using Cloud Storage. Each one's saves were out of sync on the console I wasn't using because saves do not sync until you
play the game associated with them. If your saves were on the old console and did not sync with Cloud Storage, you'll need to play the game again on the old console to force a sync.



I stopped using Cloud storage and locally downloaded profiles on my various consoles and went back to keeping my saves and my profile on a USB Memory Unit. It's far faster and more predictable to move a USB MU from console to console than it is to run every
game with a save file on each new console one uses.

 

Transfer cable and data on new HDD

[quote user="OIBND"]I recovered my gamertag and my Cloud save file.[/quote]Recover is no longer the term to use. Your profile can be downloaded to multiple consoles. Same goes for Cloud Storage, however Cloud Storage save files do not "sync" until you try
playing the game associated with the save files on the "new" console.

Why? HDD storage and Cloud Storage are two different things.

To manually copy save game files via the data migration cable, attach the cable and drive, then cancel all the transfer dialogs. Go back into System Settings, Memory, and you'll see a Transfer Cable device. You can Copy/Move content to/from the Transfer
Cable device just as you do with any other storage device. Manually copy over the files you want from the old HDD to the new HDD or to Cloud Storage.

 

Just to add, I haven't played this while offline ...
