Address Book Server will not sync all fields with iOS client

Hello,
I am getting really frustrated with my Mac Mini Server.
Apparently, the Address Book Server DOES NOT sync all fields.
Only standard vCard-fields seem to synced.
I have not successfully synced user-defined fields, such as an additional date.
Any ideas / infos on how to achieve this if this possible at all?
Thanks for the input,
Erasmus
One thing: I posted the same question in the "Lion" (non-server) discussion - sorry for any confusion.
One thing I noticed:
All changes made on the server in the OS X Address Book are distributed to two iOS clients (iPod 4th Gen iOS4 iPhone 3GS iOS 4).
Any help is appreciated.

Sorry for answering myself...
I just found out that after editing the newly distributed entry on an iOS4-Client, some fields on the server are deleted!

Ipad contacts not displaying all fields from mac address book, ipad contacts not displaying all fields from mac address book

After syncing mac address book to ipad contacts, the ipad does not display all the fields that were in Mac address book (in my case all the email addresses). Anyone have a fix?

I have a problem similar to DeeRun's.. I would like the IM fields to be synced.. I use them to send e-mails to when the e-mail field is empty or when i just want to use that specific address.. Very annoying, would take hours if not days to transfer all those IM adresses to e-mail fields in addressbook..
EDIT: not to mention the mess it would make in my address book!

IPhone 6 will not sync music. This has become a problem since using itunes 12. It also will not sync all my pics and video's with my iPad 4 either. Removed and re-installed iTunes with no improvement.

My IPhoto library will not sync all my photo's and videos to my IPhone 4

My IPhoto library will not sync all my photo's and videos to my IPhone 4. It comes up well short every time. After syncing, I get a message, "example 1171 photo's could not be synced, please see Itunes for help". I have lots of space/gb on my Iphone, so I'm confused. I've done a factory reset and done all the usual stuff, but to no avail. My Iphone is a 32gb IPhone 4, my IMAC is OS10.6.8 and my IPhoto is IPhoto 08. I appologise in advance if i'm posting in the wrong place, so please no nasty trolls. I just need good, honest, kindly advice and a solution to this. I use my IPhone as a further external backup for my photo's
Kindest regards
Paul

Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for the iPod Photo Cache.
Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.

Mavericks will not sync Apple Contacts with Google, Linkedin, and Facebook?

I just upgraded to Mavericks. Here is what I find shocking...
1. Mavericks will NOT sync Apple Contacts with Google Contacts and vice-versa.
2. During the upgrade, Mavericks linked some of my Apple Contact cards with Google Contacts, but not all of them. It need to be clarified that linking is not syncing. Worse, it corrupted data, and deleted some of the contacts on Google Contacts.
3. Similarly, Apple Contacts will not sync with Linkedin or Facebook Contacts.
4. When I contacted Apple, Level 1 support had not idea and assumed that adding a Google Account with automatically sync Apple Contacts with Google Contacts as it did in OS Mountain Lion. Level 2 support did not have much of an idea either, but called me this morning to say that the matter has been escalated, and confirmed that OS X Maverick does NOT sync Apple Contacts with Google Contacts.
CAUTION before upgrading to Mavericks:
5. Your Google Contacts / Android devices will not be updated by Apple Contacts, and vice-versa.
6. Your Facebook / Linkedin contats will not be updated by Apple Contacts, and vice-versa.
The workaround:
7. Before upgrade, ensure that your Mountain Lion or earlier address book in synced with Google Contacts.
8. After upgrade, go to Contacts > Preferences > General > Default Account, and choose your Google Account as your default account. You will now add New Contact (or update existing Google Contacts) in Google Contacts, which your android devices can sync with. You will also see your Google Contacts in Apple Contacts. However, Apple Contacts will NOT sync with Google Contacts and vice-versa.
Welcome to Mavericks...

With all due respect @McFly_Marty, kindly do not mislead readers. As funny as it may sound, but you have been taken for a royal ride by Apple Support. Keep in mind that the tough taskmaster Steve Jobs, is no longer there, and it is no surprise that Apple’s innovations are sliding.
You probably have chosen Google as your default account under "Contacts > Preferences > General > Default Account”.
Now, when you add New Contact (or update existing Google Contacts) in Google Contacts, you will also see your Google Contacts in Apple Contacts. However, Apple Contacts will NOT sync with Google Contacts and vice-versa.
Try disabling your Google account in Apple Contacts, and all your new contacts are no longer in Apple contacts. Therefore Apple contacts is not syncing with Google Contacts.
Therefore, read the following from my original post again.
“1. Mavericks will NOT sync Apple Contacts with Google Contacts and vice-versa.

IBooks will not sync PDF collections with my IPhone. It syncs the collection title but not the content?

My IBooks will not sync PDF content with my IPhone. It syncs the collection title but no content. Both devices are set to sync collections? Any ideas how to fix this?

The 'sync collections' setting does not copy books or PDFs between devices - all it does is if you have the book on both devices and you move it into a collection on one of them, then it will be put into the same collection on the other device.
You will need to sync each PDF that you want on your phone. If you don't currently have them on your computer then connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over (that should copy PDFs and/or epubs that are in the iBooks app, not just actual ibooks), and if using a Mac with Mavericks on it do File > Move Books From iTunes in the iBooks app on it, and you can then sync them to your iPhone.

I recently updated iTunes to version 11.5.5, and now my iPhone 5 will not sync up completely with iTunes.

I recently updated iTunes to version 11.5.5, and now my iPhone 5 will not sync up completely with iTunes. ITunes will recognize and sync up, but I now cannot manage my music on my phone. Also, all of my playlists on my iPhone were wiped out. It would be great to retrieve my phone playlists, but more important, be able to manage my music again. I'm running on Windows 7 and I own iPhone 5. Suggestions?

I have windows 8, I'm not sure if that has anything to do with anything, but i figured maybe 11.1.4 just doesn't like 8. soooo.. i went onto my computer settings and uninstalled anything and everything made my apple and then reinstalled itunes 11.1.3 and it now reads my ipod nano happy day thanks apple for making something that you can't help me with at all

Itunes 11.1.5 will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message? How does one work around this?

Itunes 11.1.5 (MacBook Pro,OS 10.6.8) will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message? How does one work around this?

Just reboot your laptop... While its rebooting try to reboot your phone also by holding the home and power buttonn for 10-15 seconds...When your phone is turned off try to connect it to iTunes and it will recognize your phone in recovery mode.
If you have the .ipsw file for iOS 7.0.6 saved in your desktop then in itunes press shift and click on Restore.
Select the ipsw file and let it restore.
If you dont have it downloaded then simply click on restore.
I hope it works
Cheers !

Blackberry calendar will not sync all appointments to MS Outlook 2007

Hello All,
Hardware and Software background:
BB Storm 2 9550 registered on the the Verizon Wireless Network ("VZW")
OS of the device: Version 5.0.0.105 (official OS from VZW)
Desktop OS: MS Windows 7 Ultimate Premium
Problem:
I am trying to sync all of my BB calendar entries to the Outlook 2007 Calendar and the device or Intellisynch software will not sync any BB calendar appointment that is added under the [email protected] service book/calendar. In fact the only entries that will sync to Outlook are those entered under/with the @vzw.blackberry.net service book/calendar. This was confirmed with a number of test appointments added to the BB. The only ones that sync are those added under the @vzw.blackberry.net service book/calendar. I deleted all the service books with CICAL in the name; sync and then resent my service books and still no luck.
When I go to Calendar\Options all of my calendars are there; when I select @vzw.blackberry.net there are 3421 entries; when I select the @gmail.com calendar it has 9 entries.
Questions:
1. How do I get the BB calendar enteries all of them to synch with Outlook.
2. When I enter an appointment on the BB I want the default calendar to be @gmail.com; I already have that selected under Default Services.
3. How to do I "merge" the calendar entries entered under @vzw.blackberry.net service book/calendar with those for [email protected]
Thanks,
Vernon

I have provided some information below that may help.
Question 1: To complete this task I would recommend downloading the latest version of the Blackberry Desktop software. To download the software please select the link www.vzam.net/blackberry and select whether you have personal or corporate email.
        Desktop version 6 instructions:
1.      Once downloaded and installed I would recommend setting up the synchronization through the “Organizer”
2.      Select the data to organizer (i.e Calendar)
3.      Click Configure settings
4.      Select (i.e Calendar)
5.      Select the direction of the synchronization (two way sync, one way sync, etc.)
6.      Select the preferred options
7.      Select Finish
Question 2: I have provided a Blackberry link below on Gmail calendar synchronization
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB24204 (For version 5 software there is a link at the bottom of the article)
Question 3: (See link above)

Address book high cpu, not syncing

Hi,
Some days ago I activated iCloud for address book on Lion. Seemed to work well. recently I noticed that address book always shows the spinning circle besides the iCloud account, it does not sync any new contacts I enter, and it takes 100% cpu / 1GB RAM without any visible progress until I quit address book! (10 minutes should be more than sufficient.)
Disabling the icloud account solves the cpu problem after restarting address book.
After exporting all my contacts, I tried removing the iCloud account from address book, then re-adding it - same problem.
Then I tried removing the account again,
renamed the address book folder in Library, to start from scratch.
(1) Weird: When I started address book, after a short delay all my contacts appeared, although I did not re-import them! This is spooky!!!
Ok, the I went to system settings, iCloud, and enabled contacts here (to try another apporoach).
(2) Still, same problem (now it was a process called sth. like adressbooksync that took 100% cpu.
After some healthy messages like
14.12.11 08:13:42,940 Address Book: [Migration] background thread did notify main thread that migration is complete
console has lots of suspicious messages, like:
14.12.11 09:11:44,463 AddressBookSourceSync: ABImageLoading: imageData is type (null) containing: (null)
and
14.12.11 09:13:54,648 AddressBookSourceSync: Error, could not create MachMessagePort for com.apple.AddressBook.abd
Repairing permissions on the system disk did not help.
Any ideas what I could do?
And which magic happened at (1) ?
Regards,
Philipp

Strange, now it seems to work! :-)

My ipod classic will not sync all of my games. Says it cant find them when they are there

My ipod recently stopped syncing all of my games. The message says that itunes cant find them when they are where they always were. Can anyone help me with this issue? I have tried uninstalling everything and then reinstalling and nothing works. Three of my fourteen games will not sync, and they are the ones that I play the most.

Hello bardwell,
Try rebooting your computer to see if that makes a difference. Otherwise, use the Get Info window for these games to determine where they should be located on your PC. Then navigate out to that location to see if they are actually still there.

A 120 gb classic ipod will not sync all music

*i have a 120gb classic ipod but my library will not load all my music on my ipod,the ipod is not full at all,the music is there and you can listen to it on the computer but will not sync to the ipod does anyone no what to do get all of the library on my ipod,buy the way i have try all troubleshooting methods which did not work and the entire library list is enable in the summary of the ipod.*

I thought that I was the only one having trouble.
About 6 days ago, I got on the computer to mess around and adjust my genres because some were wrong, the it just froze when I got to a certain artist. My iPod savvy friend said that I should probably restore it to factory settings and all that jazz and I did, since then, when I attempt syncing, it will get to between 10% and 25% synced and I just want to tear out my hair. This thing has been ******* me off for the past almost week. Also, every time I open iTunes, it says that it is determining gapless playback information for 4 songs that are not in my library from what I have seen.....
