Additional contact data not syncing: photos, birthday, spouse/children..

I'm using a 2nd gen Nano with iTunes 7.3.2 (Mac OS).
The iPod software version is 1.1.3, Windows formatted.
I'm syncing Address Book contacts (box is checked in the Contacts tab of iTunes) but additional & exisiting contact data in Address Book is missing on the iPod:
e.g. photo, birthdays/anniversaries, spouse/children info, etc.
However the Notes field is synced okay.
The following post is relevant but also unsolved http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4587988&#4587988
And this one is kind of relevant too http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5012889&#5012889
So:
- Maybe the contacts photos are only for 5th Gen iPodders - see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302493 ? And if this is the case, is there a hack/fix for the Nano?
- And in any case what about syncing the rest of the data?
Hope someone can resolve this (or simply come up with a definitive answer). Thanks.

I know that a windows formatted ipod would work on the mac. But why do you have it formated for a windows when you own a powerbook???
Yes, the contact photo is only for the 5th gen ipod and not the nano. No there is no hack to allow this to occur. And also realize any hack used on the ipod WILL void your warranty.
Regardless of your links (first link is for a 1st gen nano) do you own a 1st or 2nd gen nano???? You cannot sync the name of a spouse/child or any other name within a contact to the nano. I have tried this myself and cannot find any preferences or way of allowing this to occur. Just like I cannot sync my contact which has names and a second address to my nano.
Remember there is no hack for this to occur. If you wish for this feature to be present on the nano then please feedback at the link below.

I am so frustrated with this. Why? and it did it by itself, i didnt touch anything, or clicked anything. please help me this is urgent! I am a businessman and need my contacts.

You're iPhone was probably set to automatically sync with your iTunes upon plugging it in. Best option is to restore from a backup, either on iCloud or your computer.

How do I get my calendar and contacts data to sync to computer?

After instal of Maverick, iPhone data syncs to iCloud, but not to computer. How do I get my calendar and contacts data to sync to computer?

Sounds like your Mac is not logged into the same iCloud account that your phone is. When Mavericks is installed it prompts you for an AppleID during setup.
Unfortunately and confusingly it then uses that AppleID to help you set up the Apple Store, iCloud, and Messages even though many users do not use the same AppleID for all of those services. This is particularly true of familys that share one AppleID for the "Store" but use separate AppleID's for each users iCloud data.
Therefore, put your iPhone next to your Mac and go to "Settings" > "iCloud". Make sure that the iCloud account listed on your iPhone is the same as the one listed when you go to "System Preferences" > "iCloud" on your Mac. If they match (or not) then click "sign out" on your Mac to disconnect the account. Then, on the Mac (still in the iCloud preference pane), log (back) into the same iCloud account being used on your iPhone and enable the same set of services that are enabled on your iPhone (particularly calendar and contacts).
Then, open the Contacts application on the mac and iCal on the Mac and walk away for a few minutes to allow the data to sync. You may then want to create a test calendar event and change a contact to see if they sync up.
One additional thought is to make sure that your iPhone is set to "Push" for iCloud. That will assure that it's syncing immediately while you are testing this.
Hope this helps.

IPhone Contacts & Calendars not syncing with mobileme

Apologies if there is a solution to this posted already, I can't find it despite extensive searching!
My iPhone Calendars & Contacts do not sync with MobileMe. I can't find a way of exporting or saving the data on the iPhone and importing it into my desktop iCal & Contacts apps.
I have looked at all troubleshooting help I can find, and all is suggested is deleting/ resetting the phone & syncing from MobileMe. However, if I do this I will lose lots of contacts & calendar entries.
The data will NOT sync from my phone despite following all available instructions. My desktop apps are all set to sync with MobileMe & this works fine, it's just the iPhone data will not transfer to MobileMe.
Please help!!

Since you are syncing your iPhone with your Mac, it should be syncing your contacts and calendars with your Mac as well (and your bookmarks if you have it set up to sync). You should have Mobile Me setup on your Mac to at least sync your Calendars and Contacts, which should be updating your Mobile Me account. If you want to check to make sure that all of your contacts that are on your iPhone are on your Mac, simply open up the Contacts App. Once you check this, add your Mobile Me account to your iPhone and let it sync your contacts and calendars, it will delete all the contacts and calendars that are currently on your iPhone, but the same data is on your Mac anyways. Once Mobile Me syncs with your iPhone you won't have to worry about it anymore.
If you are having problems where you already setup your Mobile Me account on your iPhone and it's not syncing properly, deleted it, restart your iPhone, then add it again.
Does this help?

Centro Calendar and Contacts do not sync

I have had a problem syncing my contacts an calendar entries for several weeks. I use a Palm Centro. I have tested with both Desktop and Outlook 2003. Both have the same symptoms. I am intrigued by other users problems that have been resolved by removing an Exchange account in Versamail. While I do not have an Exchange account that I can determine and only have one account in versamail, I'd like to eliminate any possible Versamail conflict. Is it possible to totally disable or delete versamail to test for a versamail conflict? I assume I can always reset up Versamail.
More info: I have the same problem with both Palm Desktop and Outlook 2003. Contacts and Calender entries do not sync. Tasks and memos sync just fine. After scanning the many postings on this site many centro users have the same problem. I received a replacement Centro in December and calendar and contacts have not sync'd since then. It sounds like I have a different version of hotsync on the new centro that does not work the same. Is that possible? I have Hotsync 5.4.0 on my Centro and Hotsync 7.0.2 on my desktop running XP professional.
During hotsync and in the log file there is no evidence that hotsync is attempting to sync calendar and contacts. I receive no errors in the log file. Calendar and contacts are both checked on the desktop version of hotsync with the option to synchronize the files. On the Centro under conduit setup calendar and contacts are both checked.

Michael(Wed Jan 14 06:29:40 EST 2009)>Disconnect your smartphone from its AC charger and USB sync cable. The hard reset will not work if either of these is connected.
Remove the battery cover, take out the battery, and put it back in.
When the Palm logo appears, press and hold Power/End until the black status bar at the bottom of the screen fills and disappears.
The screen will go blank briefly, then you'll see an "Erase all data?" prompt.
Release Power/End .
Press Up to confirm the hard reset.
When the language selection screen appears, select the same language you selected for your desktop software.
Then you'll be prompted to tap targets and set up your device. When these steps are done, your device is ready for use.
Let me know if you need any further clarification in the steps listed above.
Don_Marsh(Wed Jan 14 09:30:22 EST 2009)>just a minute, i am performing hard reset
Michael(Wed Jan 14 06:30:45 EST 2009)>Please make sure that it should ask to "Erase all data".

Michael(Wed Jan 14 06:31:30 EST 2009)>okay.

Don_Marsh(Wed Jan 14 09:35:49 EST 2009)>Hot sync is asking me a question during sync. I have created a new user name. It says there is another device it has in its profile. And wants to know if I want to be able to synchronize the current device with this profile as well.

Michael(Wed Jan 14 06:42:54 EST 2009)>Okay, Can you please check the device whether you got the calender, contacts or not and also check the Hotsync logs.
Don_Marsh(Wed Jan 14 09:44:06 EST 2009)>yes i have them. But it worked when i did a hard reset with verizon. We need to create an entry in my centro and perform a second hotsync. that is when it fails
Michael(Wed Jan 14 06:44:38 EST 2009)>Please create a new entry in outlook in calender and then perform Hotsync.
Don_Marsh(Wed Jan 14 09:44:44 EST 2009)>ok
Michael(Wed Jan 14 06:45:01 EST 2009)>Before that perform soft reset and then perform Hotsync.

Don_Marsh(Wed Jan 14 09:45:39 EST 2009)>ok.
Don_Marsh(Wed Jan 14 09:47:26 EST 2009)>ok, i did soft reset and created calendar entry in both centro and outlook
Michael(Wed Jan 14 06:47:43 EST 2009)>Okay, Now perform HotSync.
Don_Marsh(Wed Jan 14 09:48:26 EST 2009)>do i need to do soft reset before each hotsync
Don_Marsh(Wed Jan 14 09:48:43 EST 2009)>it worked
Michael(Wed Jan 14 06:48:55 EST 2009)>Awesome!!
Don_Marsh(Wed Jan 14 09:49:10 EST 2009)>do i need to do a soft reset everytime
Michael(Wed Jan 14 06:49:35 EST 2009)>Well that is not needed but if it is not synching then perform Hotsync.
Michael(Wed Jan 14 06:51:00 EST 2009)>Is the HotSync successfully completed with transfer of data?
Michael(Wed Jan 14 06:51:08 EST 2009)>Please ignore that error message.
Don_Marsh(Wed Jan 14 09:52:06 EST 2009)>Yes the hot sync synced the second new entry into outlook
Don_Marsh(Wed Jan 14 09:52:24 EST 2009)>So i don't care about the protocol error
Michael(Wed Jan 14 06:52:43 EST 2009)>Yes it will just gives that error message.
Michael(Wed Jan 14 06:52:46 EST 2009)>Please ignore it.
Don_Marsh(Wed Jan 14 09:53:02 EST 2009)>can i go back to my original user id?
Michael(Wed Jan 14 06:54:08 EST 2009)>Well I would suggest you to continue with the current user ID because the old user ID is not supporting the calender, contact conduits to sync.
Don_Marsh(Wed Jan 14 09:54:30 EST 2009)>ok. Thank you

Itunes v12.1 itunes will not sync photos from photoshop 12

Since I downloaded itunes v12.1, itunes will not sync photos from Photoshop 12 to my iphone 5, 6+ and older Apple TV (with hard Drive). Prior to the itunes software update, all was well. itunes indicates "0" photos available from Photoshop when there are over 7,000 photos on my desktop. I tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling - no success. Perhaps itunes v13 may fix the problem, meanwhile , any suggestions.

I link to it in th epost above yours.
http://www.iphonehacks.com/2013/09/download-itunes-11-1.html
Scroll down to;
Then click Mac, or whatever one is applicible to you.
Be warned though. After synced, successfully, with iTunes 11.1, i ended up with over 10GB's of 'Other' data on my iphone. I had to do a factory reset (From iTunes/iPhone/Summary). It's been a pain in the ***, but it all seems fine now. But it has taken me hours. An di now have a headache.
Also, a factory reset will remove ALL your data, and i mean EVERYTHING! You've spend the rest of the day putting everything back the way you like it, and setting up all your setting again.
Pain in the ***.

Hello, have you made sure that you're signed into iTunes and given authorization for your iphone 4 to sync with your computer? The same thing happened to me when I recently installed iTunes 10.5 after formatting my computer.

ICloud contacts do not sync under ML

I have 697 contacts in 11 groups stored in iCloud and all appear on my iPhone and iPad. They were also visible in the contacts app on my MacBook Air so far. After the installation of ML yesterday, there are only 490 contacts and no groups and changes made on the MacBook do not sync to iClound.
Any ideas? Thanks, Tom

First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

Hello,

ITunes will not sync Photos with iPad

iTunes 11.1.5 will not sync photos from iPhoto 9.5.1 to an iPad running IOS 7.1.1....
The sync will not complete it just spins forever on 'importing photos'.... I have always selected Sync photos from 'iPhoto' and 'Selected albus,s, Events and Faces.... I typically only sync around 20 photos between the two but now iTunes will not add photos to the iPad nor delete photos from the iPad....
Since these photos were added with iTunes I can not manually delete them from the iPad....
If I deselect 'Sync Photo from iPhoto' the sync will complete but the photos are not deleted from the iPad....
I suspect that iTunes may be looking for a previous release of iPhoto (since the photo library was 'upgraded' to iPhoto 9.5.1 so it just seems logical that iTunes may not be recognizing the new and improved iPhoto library??
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
John Jones

The photos won't get lost.
You don't sync photos to the computer using iTunes.
Import them to the computer like you would with any camera.
Then delete them from the iPad and re-add them using iTunes. This gets them out of the camera roll.
See this -> iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
