2.1 Upgrade problems with Contacts & Calendar & Battery Life

I upgraded a couple of days ago and wish I hadn't. After the upgrade my Contacts were no longer there, my calendar hadn't synced and the battery life is worse than before. I tried the gently approach initially by resetting my iPhone but after that didn'r improve anything I used iTunes to restore my phone. It did work to some extent and the contacts reappeared briefly but if I tried to use Contacts the phone froze and then kicked mr out to the main screen.
Don't get me wrong, I think the iPhone 3G is great and suits my requirements very well and the previous version of the firmware didn't cause me any issues appart from some of the free apps started to misbehave just before the upgrade. I'll take back that bad behavious if I could get the contacts & calendar th function as they did.
Has anybody else had the same problems and found any solutions?
Fats Waller fan- Ain't Misbehavin' - just tell my iPhone that!

The 2.1 update hasn't been very successful for me either...
The battery life has reduced significantly. Since the 2.1 update, my battery is dead before I get home from work!!! Pretty shocking really....which means it lasts about 8-9hrs. Majority of that is on stand-by.
Plus every app takes an absolute age to load and it takes an age to return the home screen when exiting apps.
If anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears....
Is your 3G on all the time? You might want to check that, cuz 3G does eat a lot of battery. Do you have wi-fi on? Usually wi-fi does drain less then 3G when it's connected to one network but if you are walking around, and the wi-fi doesn't connect, it will search for another network and it can cause to eat up battery while searching. So if you aren't going to use wi-fi, just turn that off. Same with 3G. if you don't use 3G then turn it off, and turn it back on when you use it. Usually 3G is faster data, so faster internet than Edge.
How often do you fetch? Push?
If you have almost everything ON, that could be the reason why your battery dies quickly.
Maybe try testing it with everything off like 3G, wi-fi, push, and see if that helps.
If none of this work, then have you considered rebooting your phone (pushing home and sleep/wake at the same time for more than 6 seconds until the apple logo screen appears)? Have you tried restoring your iphone from itunes?
If this still doesn't work, or your not satisfied, I'd suggest going to the Apple store and have the genius take a look at.

Do Not post stuff about how Airplay doesnt work, because i dont have Apple TV and dont need to hear about it.

If you have an external drive equal to or larger than your internal HD, clone your internal to it with either Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper. Test the clone to make sure it's bootable. Then upgrade either one. Try it out first.

Problems with your iphone4 battery life? READ HERE!!!!

I will make this short and simple as I too have been experiencing battery problems with my iphone4 since I upgraded to 4.0.1
Now here is what I THINK is going on, I believe there is a BUG in the wifi software in IOS that tends to drain the battery at a rate of 5% every 10 to 15 minutes or so if you are using the phone for surfing. And if you are not doing any internet surfing at all, it still drops the battery at a similar rate.
Sadly what I have found out is that this doesn't stop even when the phone is on standby. Two hours of my phone just sitting there, I lose about 5% plus. So if I leave wifi on and go to bed, my phone will lose close to 25% of battery over night. However once wifi is OFF, the phone will only lose about 2 to 3% over night. I'll say that's a HUGE difference.
What I also have noticed is that it doesn't matter if I have notifications & push ON or OFF, the battery still gets drained at the same rate as long as wifi is ON.
Once I have realized the culprit, I went from getting a mere 4 to 5 hours of usage to 8 to 9 hours.
So, I suggest that you all only turn wifi on when you NEED it. Once you no longer need it, just shut it off. This is what we have to do until apple fix this problem because it seems like having wifi ON is constantly working the wifi antenna even when the user is not using the wifi connection at all. Apple claims a whopping "up to 10 hours" of internet surfing over wifi. How can that be when my phone will lose over 30% of battery in 10 hours just on standby with wifi ON?
By the way, all my tests were done with my phone on EDGE only.
If you have done this and it worked for you, drop a line here

Note that the battery drain can be of many features you are using in idle or in use. Whether you notice it or not, it'll drain every 10 to 15 minutes on idle based on the several features enabled:
* Push Notifications with 10, 15, 20 apps that run it
* WiFi, cellular, 3G
* Bluetooth active or idle
* Mail set to Push or Fetch by Minutes
* Applications left to run in the background
Nearly every iOS4 app will add the Fast App Switch, File Transfer Services, and Background Location. If you are not using any of these apps, it's recommended to close them down. Whether it's iOS3 or iOS4 apps, they will slowly drain the power through the RAM processor.
If you run a system info application, it'll state how much RAM you are currently occupying with all your multitask apps running. The more RAM used, the more battery power is drained. You can increase battery life by doing the following:
* Settings-Push Notifications-Turn off any application's push that doesn't work anyways or is bothersome to receive. Setting Notifications to OFF in general will repeat a consistent popup to enable it again.
* Settings-Mail-Push-OFF, Fetch-Hourly, Advanced-Schedule to Fetch
* Close all running applications not in use that sends notifications later. They are running in the background draining resources.
* Follow Apple's guidelines on improving battery life such as setting brightness to mid range and automatic or turning off unused features.

Problem with different calendars under Mountain Lion

I upgraded recently from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion and experiencing an annoying problem with the calendars "On My Mac" (I am using a MacBook Pro from mid 2009). With iCal under Snow Leopard I had seven calendars - Meetings, Performances, Family, etc. with different colors. After the switch to Mountain Lion these categories aren't maintained properly. Four of them have been seemingly merged into two, so that for example an event can't be categorized as "Family" but gets shifted automatically to "Meetings" (both calendars stay checked in the editing panel, but only one "sticks"). So I have three calendars I can use and a four I can't.
If I try to add a new calendar it appears in the list, but no event can be assigned to it.
Is there a limit to the number of calendars one can have?
I don't use iCloud, so there is no issue there.
I have one Google calendar (a work schedule I have subscribed to ) which also works with no problems.
Any ideas?

Same problem when reseted the PRAM.
I read some Chinese Web , Many people got the same problem after upgrade to mountain lion

Problems with Outlook Calendar syncing with my Palm TX

I have recently started have problems getting my Palm TX to sync with Outlook 2003 Calendar. I don't have any issues with Contacts or Tasks syncing. In the Hot Sync log, I get the following error code "OLERR:03-0024 (0x8000ffff)". Any ideas what causing this?

Post relates to: Treo 700p (Sprint)

Relates to Palm TX but probably applies to other Palm's.
I had same Calendar sync problem but with Outlook 2007 (Win XP). One day I could sync, next I could not. I tried resets, re-installing software, running DbFixIt but nothing worked. I kept getting a log saying "Sync with Calendar had failed."
The solution turned out to be more simple than I imagined. Just make sure you have the Microsoft 2007 patch installed if you are running Office 2007.
Here goes...
Right click on the sync symbol on your PC. Left click on "Custom" from the drop-down menu.
Under the Custom menu, select Calendar (Outlook). On the right side click "Change".
Make sure the button is checked for "Syncronize the files".
Next click on Settings. Decide what you prefer, e.g Handheld wins" in the drop-down menu.
You might also decide you want to sync two computers (e.g. a desktop and a laptop). You will see an option to apply that setting on the same Setting menu.
Click OK. Then you MUST make sure the "Set As Default" box is checked for this to take effect in future.
Finally click "OK".
If you are having the same problem with Contacts, it is the same procedure except you pick Contacts (Outlook) in the Custom menu.
It fixed my Calendar sync problem and everything is back to normal.

Started a similar string before. When I select a recipient in Messages on my Macbook Pro the name shows up in red and says the recipient is no longer registered on iMessage. I know that they are registered. Is there a problem with Contacts?

Hi,
Try iMessaging your own iPhone and see if your account is actually logged in.
It can appear "enabled" and On line but sometimes it is not.
Also try sending from your iPhone (number) to your Apple ID and see if it gets to the Mac.
If it does not use the Sign Out button.
Then shut down the Mac
On restart add back the Apple ID to the iMessages account settings.
I also just checked My wife's iPhone as she popped up red.
It turned out her iPhone did not have Messages On.

Communication Problem with the second battery

Hello,
In Lenovo Solution Center it says that there is communiction problem with the second battery. I already had this problem some months ago, back then it didn't charge the second battery. I got a new one and it worked again. Now it says the same thing "communication problem", but i can charge the battery and I also can't find any other sign of something not working. But still- it seems weird that the program tells me something is wrong. Can somebody help me?
Thanks Lina

Problem with hotmail calendar display

Problems with hotmail calendar display.

I am almost a total computer novice and am having what I think is the same problem Just got my first Apple computer (Macbook Pro). MSN Hotmail is my email account. All the events on my 'hotmail' account are now unreadble because they are squished to the left side of the screen and I don't find any instructions as to how to fix this in the system. This problem didn't exist when I first started using my MAC two days ago, but now I'm stuck. Everything else in my 'hotmail' seems to work fine. Don't know what Chrome or Firefox is or if there is a cost for them. Also, have never downloaded a program if any kind.
My calendar is critically important to me and I don't have a clue as to what to do now. Hope you can help.
Thanks. Linda

Problems with iCloud Calendar OS 10.8

Problems with iCloud Calendar OS 10.8
I would like to warn users of a couple of problems I have encountered recently with Calendar. I have been in touch with Apple phone support about this and after 3-4 hours on the phone they have arranged to call back tomorrow. A colleague informed me yesterday he has experienced exactly the same problem as described in point 1. below. Looks like a software glitch – I hope it can be fixed quickly.
1. Deletion of single entry in a repeated event results in loss of display of all related events in iCloud Calendar but not on devices
Deletion of a single entry from a repeating event (after correctly selecting to delete only the single event and not to delete all future events) results in failure to display all of the related events in iCloud but with retention of the related events on devices such as iPhone and iCal on a computer.
There have been occasions, very briefly, that the events so affected display correctly on iCloud, only to disappear from the screen within about a second of opening the page in Calendar.
Deletion of the relevant account in iCal (on the computer) and its subsequent reinstallation results in correct display of the calendar in iCal, but persisting failure to display the calendar entries correctly in iCloud. This appears to ONLY effect repeated entries in which one of the repeated entries has been subsequently deleted after the creation of the repeating event. Single entries, or repeated entries that have not been modified, do not appear to be affected.
This problem is consistently occurring regardless of whether the repeated entry is set to end “never”, “after number of times” or “on date”.
My conclusion is, there is a problem with the display of the repeated events in iCloud (?an HTML coding issue) but that the events are being correctly saved in the calendar database.
2. Random dropout in “repeat” function for new events and/or “repeat” function in edit of existing event
In the course of investigating problem 1, I have discovered that the pop-up menu in iCloud Calendar that allows new events to be created or old events to be edited apparently randomly has the repeat event function missing in the pop up menu – making it impossible to create a repeating event from a new entry or to edit an existing event for the repeat function. All other functions appear to be preserved in the affected pop-up.
This problem is also apparent in iCal – i.e., it is not restricted to the web version of Calendar. I have not had the time or the energy to investigate this in detail. At first glance, it is a random error.
Solution: Apple needs to debug this software

Thank you paulfromstpeters !
I have the same problem!
I don't remember what I exactly did, but after some changes on a repeted event (I think I deleted some recurrens), it doesn't appear anymore on the iCloud and on the iPod (but correctly on the MacBook).

Problem with subscribed calendars

Hi all, I have a problem with subscribed calendars and a app that I use the developer says the problem is with apple so I thought I would ask here.
I use Roster Buster to decode my airline roster which is then available as a calendar for me to subscribe to, this all works very well but as soon as I subscribe to my wife's roster buster calendar the problems start. Every time I enter calendar all events are there for both my wife's flights as well as my own but as soon as calendar refreshes all events change to the same so we both have the same flights ( either all my flights or my wife's ) so I have to refresh all calendars again to overcome this.
This only happens on the iPad and only since ios7 works fine on the iPhone 5.
Any ideas ?
Regards Stuart.

I've got what i think is a pretty good fix to this.
subscribing to calandars via iCal on your Mac is the way to go. you can subscribe, set the colour and tell it to push via iCloud to your iOS devices. they come through with the correct colour and stay that way.
all good
however, i can't seem to delete the subscribed calandars i have on my iPhone. every time i delete the subscription, they just come back in again! quite annoying, but at least you can untick it so that it doesn't show up. which it would go away for good though.
much happier now i'm controlling everything through iCal and iCloud

Graphic Upgrade Problem with K430 desktop - Unresolved!

Hi,
Xmas 2012 I purchased a Lenovo IdeaCentre K430 Desktop from PC world.
PC World said it would be upgradable if I need to upgrade it.
The system is:
Intel Core i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz
16.0 GB DDR3
1.8 TB Hardrive
Windows 8
Geforce GT 640
I recently purchased Crysis 3 and its not running very well, so I brought a Geforce GTX 660.
However when I installed and rebooted the PC, I was greated with a blank flashing screen?
other people have simular problems on the GeForce forums.
I have since took the card back PLUS 3 MORE for a refund, and very dissapointed that I can't upgrade this PC.
CAN SOMEONE AT LENOVO PLEASE REPLY WITH A LIST OF 'MODERN/LATEST GRAPHIC CARDS, THAT ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THIS MODEL STRAIGHT OUT OF THE BOX?
CHANGING THE BIOS SETTINGS DOES NOT WORK FOR ME!
It's been almost 2 years and I've still not found a compatible card, so much for the Ultimate Upgradable PC!
Cheers.

The previous message thread you posted in has one recommendation of what worked in the K430. See the post #34 in this discussion.......

Im having problems with contacts on my iPad. One of my contacts names shows up when I choose any one of 36 contacts. the email goes to the correct email address that I've chosen but the incorrect name shows up in the To: area of the email

Has anyone else experienced this...if so I hope there is a fix

Hello there erika274,
It sounds like no matter what contact you put into the 'To' field, a different name appears, but the email makes it to the intended recipient. I would recommend a few things here. First, close all the open apps on the device:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the phone:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:
iOS: How to back up and restore your content

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
