3GS Sync Causing Double Sets of Contacts & Calendars?
I activated my 3GS this morning. I restored from my last backup. Then when it was up and running in did a sync w/ Mobile Me - now I have 'on my iphone' and 'on my mac (mobileme)' in both calendar and contacts - how do i get rid of the 'on my iphone' sets?!?! ie when I go to 'all contacts' or 'all calendars' I don't have to look at duplicates of everything and when add or edit something I know it's going to the 'cloud' and not to t he 'on my iphone' part...
ciphoto,
Open "Settings" on the iPhone>Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks>Accounts>your MobileMe account and turn off Contacts, when prompted delete data, and wait two minutes, then turn Contacts back on. When asked merge the data, make that choice, and wait patiently. You should no longer have duplicates. If you are able, I recommend using a Wi-Fi connection to make the change.

Hey Jeremy,
From the Enterprise Deployment Guide:
+Important: When you configure a device to sync with Exchange, all existing calendar+
+and contact information on the device is overwritten. Additionally, iTunes no longer+
+sync contacts and calendars with your desktop computer. You can still sync your device+
+wirelessly with MobileMe services.+
+To change how many day’s worth of data is synced to your device, go to Settings >+
+Mail, Contacts, and Calendars. The default setting is three days.+

Up until recently my calendar were syncing (between my iPhone 4 & ipad mini). They are no longer synching. I have searched and everything matches to all the resolutions, the problem is on my ipad under Calendars in the settings there is no option for "default calendar". Every other option matches to what is on my phone, just the default calendar option is missing. The default email is the same for both. Help!!!!
Thank you
Penelope190An interesting additional symtom is that items loaded in the PC (which immedialely duplicate to the iCloud calendar on eht PC - no worries, there) do not transpose the devices (as above) but, loading an item into the phone, it goes to the PC (which is fine, too). But not to the iPad. Interestingly, there fewer calendar display options on the iPad than on the phone.
I talked to Apple a few months ago (after ISO 5) - mainly about the 6000 plus addresses that suddenly appeared in my Contacts - and his advice was do all contact and calendar actions on the PC. "icloud is still faulty"
So there we are! I must have items and reminders in my PC - it is my main work station - and need them on my devices to avoid conflicts when away from my office. -

Setting the Mobileme calendar as the default calendar on my iPhone
Guys, my question is quite simple. I have tried in many ways but I can't manage to set the Mobileme calendar as the default calendar in my iPhone. At the moment, the default is the iPhone calendar, which doesn't sync with my Mobileme account and consequently I have all my appointments only on my iPhone and not in my Macbook Pro or my PC.
Any advice on the above will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Fabio

I have tried every way i can but can't get the iPhone to display a calendar other than that which is mirrored with MobileMe what i'll do is list what my settings for my phone are and you cansee if these mirror the one's on your iPhone oh and these are pretty much all my MM info so it does include some mail stuff as well

Double Contacts & Calendar Entries when Syncing PocketMac to Storm
To Forum
i know others have had this but i have not seen anyone have the issues sorted on any forums.
as the title suggests when i sync with PocketMac to my Storm, everything doubles up. actually not all entries but most. Why is this? there are no doubles in my Entourage Database>?
a couple of points to note:
i am assuming that PocketMac is syncing direct to my Entourage Database and not doing it via iCal and the Mac apps?
i have the sync set as one way from mac to storm. not ideal but for first sync and/or after a wipe of contacts and and calendar this is what i have read is best and safest to do.
as noted above, i have plugged the Storm into a PC, wiped the bits that double up [contacts & calendar] and sync'd again. Every thing still doubles up.
Why oh why oh why? syncing isnt a new technology. other manufacturers can do it???This happened to me too and I think it has to do with your phone showing your calendars from your MobileMe and then all of them again from your computer. Go to your Calendar on your iPhone and hit the "Calendars" button top left and it should give you options to select "All Calendars" or "From My Mac" or "MobileMe". I ended up having "All Calendars" selected and it showed both, Computer & MobileMe at the same time so it looked like I doubled everything.
Let me know if this works or if I screwed up on my syncing or preferences somehow. -
Yikes! After upgrading my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5, I lost my Contacts, calendar entries, and Notes (100+) on my iPhone (3 years old). How do I retrieve them? My last backup/sync to iTunes acct was Sept 18 but yesterday's backup bombed due to lack of space on my C: drive.
This happened to me too but it was really all there. Go to your calendar, click on calendar in the upper left hand corner, click on show all calendars, click done in the right upper corner. Everything should show up!!!
I was super thrilled. Hope this works for you!! -
My new computer is 64-bit running Windows 7 pro, SP1 and Microsoft Office 2010 Pro Plus 32-bit
My phone is a 4S runing iOS 6.1.3
Very frustrated now that I have recently installed itunes and outlook on this new computer. Everything worked perfectly ok on my laptop which was also 64-bit Windows 7 and running 32-bit Microsoft Office 2010 Pro. I have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, when I sync the calendar and contacts are empty. Not sure if there is any way to point itunes to particular address books and calendars.
I have installed and uninstalled itunes 3 times and thank goodness have a backup
Can anyone help please?
thanks in anticipationI had my home computer set up to sync to work's Exchange server. It worked well, but I didn't like seeing work email messages and other programs trying to sync with my default Outlook folder, which was then the Exchange (& work related) .ost file. I know there are various ways to manage those problems using filters, view, subfolders, etc., but it was a hassle for me. I think it could work well for many other folks.
For now, I have published my work calendar and subscribed to that calendar on my home computer. So I have view only access to my calendar on my home computer (and I can add/edit calendar items on my iPad (or Outlook Web Access) when away from work). This is not quite what I wanted, but it may work.
It almost makes me long for the days when I used my Windows Mobile Treo to sync back and forth between exchange at work and outlook at home (but had many sync conflicts as a result). -

That option has been removed with Mavericks. Syncing for calendars and contacts etc can only be done through iCloud:

BIS Contact/Calendar Sync Broken and Unreliable
I'm a Google Apps reseller in Canada. Recently, making Blackberrys play nice using BIS has been an absolute horror story. A quick breakdown of the recent history of the Blackberry:
-Originally, did not support any sync of contacts and calendars natively in BIS
-To combat this, a Google Sync tool would be installed on each individual phone to allow these synchronizations
-OS version 5.0 and above (I think?) began to support contacts and calendars natively in BIS.
This is all fine and dandy, except for two glaring issues.
1.) Whether or not a new or old phone with any given OS of 5.0 and above wil support this syncing through BIS appears to be completely random. Some new phones directly off the shelf will not show this option in the BIS settings, and others have it right away.
2.) This sync service that is built in to BIS enables and disables on devices at random, with no warning or permission given or required.
We have experienced these two issues extremely consistently since this sync was enabled in BIS, and it has become an increasingly common problem for any of our customers (not only those on Rogers service.)
A quick example to display why this is far worse than it may appear at first glance (keep in mind these issues have occured several times to the point where we are reluctant to advertise any ability to sync with the Blackberry):
We begin with a user that has a brand new Blackberry (likely a torch or something). We configure their email account and get things set up, but when attempting to enable sync through BIS we find that only deleted items is displayed as an option. We install the Google Sync utility, and log in to sync contacts and calendar. Everything is running smoothly. One day, we receive a call because they are suddently experiencing an infinite number of duplicates on their calendar and/or contacts. We check the BIS settings to find that the sync options are not only available but they are both already enabled, with no warning. Because of this, the two sync tools had been replicating eachother's calendar appointments and contacts. We decide due to it's unpredictable nature that it is best to sign out of the Google Sync tool, clean up the mess and let the BIS sync take over from here. Everything is fine again. A few weeks later, another phonecall. Calendar and contacts are no longer syncing. We check BIS, and the contacts/calendar options are no longer present. WHAT THE HECK?!
So, as you can imagine, either the user lives with no wireless sync, or we have to perform cleanups every few weeks when someone flicks the switch on the back end with no rhyme or reason.
I would love to escalate this to RIM though that is being assumptive that is is somehow their fault. It is possibly an issue caused by the service providers (Bell, Rogers, Telus) as far as I know. Can anyone help me pin down this problem?
Thanks!The lack of a reply from RIM on this topic and several others that are similar is disappointing.
I replied to another entry that had a similar issue. Rogers was also singularly unhelpful (they recommended I downgrade from 6.0 B2647). In my case, the BB has wireless sync turned on but it doesn't actually sync. the DM won't let me backup the calendar or restore it because wireless sync is on (even when I've turned it off).
Fingers crossed that RIM will fix the issue or at least answer with a workaround. Current workaround is manually syncing BB and online calendar each morning. Not good! -
How to Sync iphone 5 contacts/calendar with Outlook 2007
I used to have an iphone 3gs and upgraded to a 5 recently. Since then I can't sync outlook contacts/calendar like I used to.
All I want to do is sync outlook with the iphone so that I have the same data on my Windows7 PC as on the iPhone. I used to just hit sync in itunes and presto it would sync both ways. i.e new phone entries would be copied to outlook and new outlook enteries copied to the iphone.
Now in itunes "info". I only see an option that sync's to the cloud only. I don't want to sync to the cloud because the old way was better for me.
Besides the cloud doesn't seem to work. The phone information gets uploaded to the cloud but the outlook information doesn't get updated? When I open up the cloud in Win7 using icloud I can see all the contacts on my phone but how do I get them to sync with Outlook and vice versa?
I've read so much information on the subject I'm blue in the face but have not found a solution.
Your help would be appreciated, Thank You.If you have [accidentally] enabled iCloud sync on your iPhone, note that you first need to turn that off in order to be able to sync again via iTunes instead. iCloud sync and iTunes sync when it comes to contacts and calendars, are cannot be run simultaneously. Settings > iCloud > toggle the switches to OFF
You can alternatively read this for another offline method of syncing iphone contacts to outlook without needing to switch off your iCloud sync in first place. -
I can't set up contacts and calendar for iCloud on my PC
I'm trying to set up iCloud so it'll sync my Mail, Contacts, and Calendar & Tasks between my Windo. However, the iCloud Control Panel won't let me set up the Contacts and Calendar & Tasks. When setting up, it asks me to shut down Outlook (which I do). Then it tells me that I need to restart Outlook with Mail enabled and that I need to add my iCloud account in order to add Contacts and Calendar & Tasks. I have no idea what the former means. I have added my iCloud account although what I REALLY want to sync is the Contacts and Calendar data from the e-mail I use Outlook for (which is also my Apple ID). I have Outlook 2010. Any idea why I'm getting this message and how I can set up iCloud?
Hi there bakingcountrygirl2011!
I have a couple of articles here that should help you get iCloud set up on your Windows machine. The first is about activating iCloud mail in Outlook, and can be found below:
iCloud: Set up iCloud Mail on your devices and computers
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2621
And here are the steps you need to follow:
Set up iCloud Mail on Microsoft Outlook 2010 or Microsoft Outlook 2007
Open the iCloud Control Panel, select (to turn on) the Mail, Contacts, Calendars, & Tasks checkbox, then click Apply.
To open the iCloud Control Panel in Windows 8, move the pointer to the upper-right corner of the screen to show the Charms bar, click the Search charm, then click iCloud Control Panel on the left.
To open the iCloud Control Panel in Windows 7 or Windows Vista, choose Start menu > All Programs > iCloud > iCloud.
Your iCloud Mail account is displayed in the left column of Microsoft Outlook.
To view your iCloud Mail account in Microsoft Outlook, click the disclosure triangle to the left of your iCloud email account.
If you are still having issues with your contacts after following the instructions in that article, you will want to see this article, about troubleshooting sync issues with your iCloud contacts:
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Contacts
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3998
You will also probably want to pay special attention to this particular part of that article:
Ensure the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active within Outlook.
For Outlook 2010, follow these steps to verify the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active:
Open Outlook 2010.
Click the File menu.
Click Options in the left panel of the Outlook window.
Click Add-Ins in the left panel of the Outlook Options window.
Look at the list of add-ins beneath "Active Application Add-Ins," and verify that the "iCloud Outlook Add-in" is listed
For Outlook 2007, follow these steps to verify the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active
Open Outlook 2007
From the Tools menu, choose Trust Center.
Select Add-ins from the left column.
Look at the list of add-ins beneath "Active Application Add-Ins," and verify that the "iCloud Outlook Add-in" is listed.
For additional information about managing Add-ins with Microsoft Outlook, see this Microsoft support document.
Hope that helps. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

How can I sync my new iPhone 4S to calendar, contacts, and photos on my MacBook?
Just bought my first iPhone after 2 years as an Android user. My 2008 MacBook would never talk to the Android, but now - they tell me - I can backup my phone onto my computer and share contacts, calendar and photos with the computer.
I've plugged the phone into the computer but the computer's Finder doesn't show it. And the phone indicates it's charging but doesn't show any way to swap data.
I feel like I'm missing something really basic ... but what?All of this is handled through iTunes. You must have iTunes installed on the comptuer. Also, you will not be able to see any files in Finder, as the iPhone does not give you access to that information. The only time you will ever see anything from the iPhone in Finder is if you have photos in the Camera Roll.
After you download and install iTunes, you would set up syncing your device with specific apps on the computer, to handle calendar, contacts, and photos. You might want to start out by thumbing through the User Guide here: http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf -
I'm no longer able to sync contacts, calendar or notes from my computer's Outlook using iTunes. For a while I was getting a message that the server could not be reached for resolving conflicts - probably got that message every sync for a month or so and just ignored it. Then I followed online instructions for dealing with that problem and renamed the file conflicts.syncconflict. The instructions suggested that this would cause creation of a new conflicts.synconflict file, which it did. But then the sync just seemed to hang on the contacts portion of syncing, even if I left it for a couple of hours. So I renamed the old file back to conflicts.synconflict.
Now sync doesn't work at all for me if I try to sync any of Outlook contacts, calendar or notes. If I disable all those, the sync works for things like apps, etc.
I have already tried:
checking latest version of iPhone software
in iTunes, clicking edit / preferences/ devices / reset sync history (not sure whether this button really does anything or not)
using outlook's scanpst.exe to check for corruption of my main outlook files and most of my ancillary folders
resetting the iPhone (pressing the button upper right and the circular button at the bottom for several seconds)
trying the sync after rebooting the computer and not turning on Outlook in the interim
The present symptom is that the attempted sync just hangs on the syncing contacts stage, and won't complete. I can cancel the sync, but I can't complete it (unless I uncheck syncing with all the Outlook data). I'm not getting any error message.
This is what I'm using:
iPhone 5
iTunes version 11.1.5.5
iPhone software Version 7.1 (11D167)
Windows 7 Home premium
Outlook 2010
Asus G74SX computer
It is March 27, 2014.
Suggestions welcome. I'd like to be able to sync my contacts and calendar.Hey Steve,
I had this problem as well and found a way how to solve this:
You need to reset your iPhone by pressing the Home button and the Power button simultaneously until the iPhone reboots.
After it rebooted I unlocked the phone, connected it to my PC and ran the iTunes sync without any problems.
Hope this helps with your issue as well.
Best
Alex
