Why is the communications interval slider ghosted?
This is not a bug but a feature of Synergy 1.5b and up when used in conjunction with iTunes 4.7 and above. When Synergy detects that iTunes 4.7 is installed on your system it switches to the new communications engine, which doesn’t do any polling at all. In this circumstance the slider no longer has any meaning because Synergy doesn’t poll but instead waits for notifications from iTunes. On systems running versions of iTunes prior to 4.7 the slider is unghosted and the old communications engine is used. iTunes 4.7 is a recommended upgrade for all Synergy users because of the massive performance improvements when using Synergy.
