Addressbook - Phone Sync issue

I'm having problems syncing my Nokia 6230i with addressbook. After a sync my phone contacts list contains duplicate entries for some but not all contacts. This issue has only just started after upgrading to an iMac, and did not happen while using Tiger on an old 1st Gen 17" Powerbook. I have tried re-pairing the handset to the iMac and setting iSync to replace all data on 1st sync but the issue persists.
any suggestions?

well, i got a new phone

  • LR CC PC/MAC to Web & Phone Sync Issue

    I have LR CC and when I add photos to an existing collection the additional images are not syncing to LR Mobile web or phone.  I am talking a small number of images, ~30 total with 2 new ones.

    Thank you so much! This really helped! One thing to also mention is to restart Flash as the last step.

  • "phone offline" and other syncing issues

    There's been several threads on the "phone offline" issue across many of the big Pre forums, but we're really not heard anything constructive from Palm on the matter...  It's basically leaving me unable to do email and a number of other features that are pretty much the main reason for me buying the phone.  I'm really feeling screwed by this considering I pretty much left Verizon for Sprint to get this since VZW wouldn't provision the pre on their service.
    Whenever I enable Pop email to get my account with several thousand emails, my phone becomes instantly unstable, generating the "phone offline issues" every couple of minutes.  I also have my google calendar not syncing as this too seems to provoke these errors, even though I have NO scheduled items in there.  I also cannot get my exchange 2007 email like everyone else having issues, but mine hasn't even worked on 1.1 or 1.2 versions of webos.
    Seriously, how long are we going to wait for a fix to these major issues?  This is exactly why I gave up on WinMo phones.
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    I'll bet it is the size/volume of email in your inbox its trying to sync - not sure if this got fixed/better with 1.3.1.  One of the threads about google calendar causing this radio reboot issue indicated there was a memory leak in their java stack that was causing the radio to go offline, which got me thinking about my email.  As it turns out I had 20k emails or so in my inbox (I leave everything on the server and keep local filters to sort it out post pop), so the pre seemed to have issues dealing with this large of volume when pop'ing.  Now logic (to me at least) would dictate that if you tell it to only keep a week of email, it wouldn't matter as it would the email count, date, and index, and only grab the last weeks worth, meaning it shouldn't poop itself when trying, but it still does. Yours doing the same would indicate probably the same - excessive email count in inbox, at least beyond what the stupid pre seems capable of dealing with.
    I would recommend as a short-term fix moving the bulk of your email into a local pst or just out of the inbox that the pre doesn't try to fetch a ton of email at once, at least then it's useable until they fix their buggy email app.  I wouldn't hold my breath and start working around it now - palm doesn't seem to concerened with fixing these issues in an expedient fashion.

  • IPhone-iTunes Syncing Issues  (3G Phone w/ 2.2 Firmware & iTunes 9.0.1)

    Please feel free to inform me if this inquiry might be better posted in a different section of the discussion forums.
    *iPhone-iTunes Syncing Issues*
    (3G Phone w/ 2.2 Firmware & iTunes 9.0.1.8 running on a Dell PC w/ Windows XP Pro Operating System)
    With the newest 9.0.1 version of iTunes...
    When you synch your Windows XP Pro PC with your iPhone (3G) device & instruct the software to synchronize your iPhone Safari "Bookmarks" with your PC's Internet Explorer "Favorites," should there not be a bi-directional transfer of the information?
    (from iPhone to PC and also from PC to iPhone?)
    I synched my phone yesterday & it appears that there was a successful transfer of Internet Explorer "Favorites" into the iPhone. However, neither were my iPhone Safari "Bookmarks" retained on the iPhone nor were they transferred over to the PC (& into Internet Explorer).
    Do I need to also install Safari on the PC to get a successful bi-directional transfer? OR am I simply not looking in the correct place on the computer to retrieve all the Bookmarks that were apparently removed from the iPhone?
    Furthermore, I've been experiencing difficulty with getting PodCasts that are already sitting in my iTunes account to transfer over to the iPhone 3G.
    When I launch the synch operation, commonly the iTunes progress meter will seemingly go to completion. However, the iPhone will ultimately disappear from the left-side iTunes windowpane & the actual iPhone screen will continue to state: "Sync in Progress." The iPhone will remain in this state for HOURS & HOURS, until I ultimately slide the button to cancel the operation. I have literally left the iPhone connected to the synch computer while the iPhone's "Sync in Progress" status message remained the same for *17+ HOURS. This can not be normal*.
    Any insight would be helpful.

    Note: I resolved the issue by uninstalling and reinstalling itunes with this procedure;-)

    HI,
    In effect this is a DNS block.
    You can do it.
    You need to be in an Admin Mac User Account that has  non blank password.
    Go to the Applications/Utilities folder and open Terminal.
    You should see your shortname (the one under the Little House icon) followed by the $ symbol
    Copy and paste the bold text below into Terminal after the $ symbol.
    sudo pico /etc/hosts
    This will load the file "hosts" into and editor that works in Terminal.
    Use the arrow keys to get to the line with Verisign in it.
    Now type the # symbol and it will be added in front of the character that is highlighted.
    The # symbol is either Shift +3 or ALT+ 3 depending on your keyboard layout
    Now use CTRL and O keys together.
    This Saves the changes.
    Quit Terminal.

  • Iphone sync issue where recognized in itune, but stops there intermittently

    I have been chasing an issue for awhile now. Every now and then, when I plug in my iphone 3gs, it appears to be recognized in the iTunes window, but it stops there and doesn't continue to sync. It acts like I have the preference set to "prevent iphones from automatically syncing" turned on, when I really don't. And again, it only happens once about every 10 times. If I immediately hit the eject button in itunes and plug it right back in, it works and syncs just fine.
    I have replaced the phone, the cable, and reset sync history by opening isync app--preferences-reset sync history. Oddly it seems like it happens when it's been a couple of days since I last synced.
    The log shows this:

    you can see the first plug in, then gets "cancelling all sync plans." Immediately pluggin back in, it proceeds as normal.
    Any suggestions?

    Well, it seems to happen at least once a week. This usually appears in the console log:

    If I hit sync button, it proceeds. If I just eject and plug back in it works as expected. I the phone has already been replaced, I reset sync history, changed the cable, etc.
    I am still on itunes 921, and plan on updating to 10.1 soon. But if there is anything that can be gained from learning what the issue is before I update, it will be worth it.

  • Sync issues after iOS 8 update

    Hi,
    I have an iPhone 5S, 64 GB. After updating to iOS8 I got sync issues. "Waiting for changes to be applied" never disappeared. Also the storage usage in iTunes 11.4 is wrong. iTunes said I had 6GB free, when I had in fact 20GB. I restored the phone back to firmware, restored the backup. All was fine until I made setting changes in iTunes what I want to sync. The same issue in iTunes is back again. I already deleted my voice memos as someone recommended in another threat but that didn't help.
    Any ideas how I can solve the problem, would be appreciated. Thank you!

  • Disappearing Contacts, Mobile Me Sync Issues, Calendar crash-Answers??

    I'll try to keep this post brief but hopefully it will help provide some possible answers for frustrated users experiencing the random complete wipe out of all contacts and calendar data when syncing with mobile me using either push or fetch. After several weeks of experiencing these random sync issues and spending several hours over several days between tech support calls with iPhone then Mobile Me support and then finally a genius bar appointment where the genius said he didn't have a clue and simply offered to replace my phone.
    The next morning, SAME PROBLEMS... and through it all NO ONE could tell me why my sync was so randomly unreliable. Every other day for no apparent reason, my phone would suddenly lose all contacts and/or calendar data. (A few thousand contacts and two years of calendar data). It was both frustrating and strange—even stranger that Apple techs had no clue why and seemed to think no one else was having this issue.
    I tried everything - complete restores, resets, deleting and re-adding the mobileme account, etc., etc., etc. One tech support person finally said, "good luck..." The others kept handing me off the higher levels of support... until finally they just said "we don't know why this is happening." I was waiting for someone to just say, "Look, we have issues with mobile me, so hang in there and eventually it will work." I can be patient and I still think the iphone is the greatest invention in recent years. But everybody I talked with at Apple seemed to think this should be working flawlessly.
    I also started having a crash on the calendar anytime I tried to see the list view for "all calendars." This was frustrating because that's the best feature of the calendar app!
    I was prepared to just return to syncing with my computer and wait for the software to improve between the phone and mobile me. Finally, last night I tried a few things that seem to be working... and for the first full day, mobile me is actually useful to me today. (my fingers are crossed!)
    Here's what I did.
    1. I minimized the number of calendars I was syncing - I have no idea if this affected the sync, but I was syncing eight calendars, now I'm down to four. (You can easily export a calendar and import those events back into a different calendar.)
    2. I did a complete restore of the phone (not from a back up) and the VERY FIRST THING, I added mobile me and synced only the calendar (set to push.) This cleared up the random calendar crash in list view and also mobile me was pushing data rather reliably. After a few moments my entire calendar was on the phone and worked perfectly. New events were transferred quickly back and forth.
    3. I then chose to sync my contacts through the computer rather than over the air. I fear that the contact sync was somehow messing up the whole communication process between the phone and the cloud. Someone suggested that the number of "groups" in contacts might have an impact on the sync issues as well. I didn't need my contacts to sync with the urgency of "push" so this works for me. Plus I have a lot of contacts and it's just faster over the cable.
    4. I then GREATLY reduced the number of apps on my phone. I originally had about 27 and I only reinstalled 9 of them. I did this ONE AT A TIME - starting with the most necessary and useful... and after each install, I checked the functionality of the calendar and mobile me. No problems. Perhaps I was having an app conflict?
    5. Then I reinstalled the rest of my content - music, podcasts, photos. Still no problems.
    ONE of these steps actually worked, and I'm not sure which one. My guess is that one or more of my apps was conflicting in some way. OR possibly something with the contact sync... but for the last 24 hours the mobile me calendar sync using push has been consistently reliable and useful. (for the record, mobile me email has always worked perfectly for me.)
    No one with tech support ever suggested to me that I could be having an application conflict or any other problems with calendars or contact groups, etc. I've spent many hours on this the past few weeks... and for the first time, my iphone seems to be working with mobile me correctly.
    In reading many of these posts, it seems a lot of others are having similar problems... so hopefully these suggestions might be helpful. If you have any thoughts as to which of these solutions was the correct one, I would be interested in hearing your opinion.
    Thanks!

    Are your Address Book contacts and iCal calendars/calendar events on your Mac synced with your MobileMe online address book and calendar?
    When you say this data is not synced with your iPhone, none of your MobileMe online data is transferred to your iPhone, or after the initial transfer of this data to your iPhone when you first turned contacts and calendars for over the air syncing with your MobileMe account on your iPhone, the data is not kept synchronized with the MobileMe "cloud"?

  • IPhone 6 and Bluetooth phone connectivity issues with my vehicle: this is how I fixed it.

    With so many threads on this topic, I wanted to detail the steps I took to fix my iPhone 6 Bluetooth issues regarding connectivity to my vehicle and handsfree calling.  My phone was pairing with my vehicle without a problem and syncing my contacts and call history but when I attempted to make a call (from either the phone or the vehicle screen) the audio went out and I could not hear the call either through the vehicle speakers or on the phone. The call was going through but I was unable to see it on my vehicle screen and/or hear it either the phone or the vehicle screen. 
    Based on my research and what I have learned so far, the people having problems are those who restored their new iPhone 6 from an iCloud backup from a previous phone, rather than setting up their iPhone 6 as a new phone.  I did an iCloud restore from my previous 5s running iOS 8.   
    First, I am a Verizon customer and I enabled Advanced Calling on my line.  After I requested that this feature be added to my line, under “Cellular” settings on my iPhone, I enabled LTE voice & data.
    Next steps:
    1) Unpair/remove iPhone from the vehicle;
    2) Forget/remove the vehicle from the phone Bluetooth settings;
    3) Soft reset the iPhone;
    4) Reset network settings on the iPhone; and
    5) Pair the phone to the vehicle again and attempt to make a call. 
    If that does not work…
    6) Perform a factory reset, erasing EVERYTHING from your phone and set it up as a new iPhone rather than restoring from a backup.  
    Resetting the network settings seems to be working for some people.  It did not work for me.  I tried it a few times with no result.  I did the dreaded factory reset, paired the phone with my vehicle and had all of my Bluetooth functionality back and was able to use the handsfree phone with zero issues.
    I was on the phone yesterday multiple times with Apple, Toyota Entune, Verizon and my Toyota dealer. Verizon blamed Toyota Entune, Toyota Entune blamed Verizon and my Toyota dealer blamed Apple.  Nobody had a clue how to fix this issue or what was causing it. I don’t know the exact reason why the previous iCloud backups are killing the Bluetooth connections, I just know what worked for me and I thought it was worth sharing. 
    Good luck.

    The new 8.0.2 update DID NOT FIX THIS ISSUE AT ALL. After you power off and on with the phone, same issue as the 8.0, all 3 of my cars lost Bluetooth connection and shows no signal at all.  Good job Apple, what a lousy update you guys did.

  • ICal refuses to finish 'restore' ; trying to resolve sync issues.

    trying to fix sync issues.
    using missing sync.
    everything worked perfectly for a ling long time before i thought it'd be cute to go in and put birthdays into addressbook, and select the option in iCal preferences to add those events to my calendar.
    EVERYTHING has gone to **** since then.
    the missing sync guys recommend i backup and restore addressbook and iCal.
    addressbook did fine.
    when i select the saved ICal database file (icbu) from my desktop, it will not complete.
    what gives?
    i'm trying to do this to fix another problem.
    its like every step is making a new issue.
    i am getting close to the edge guys...
    pleaes help.
    thanks!

    (overall problem is that i cannot even get missing sync to overwrite my blackberry 8830 now.
    for months, iCal, Addressbook, and Tasks synced perfectly.
    all was well until i screwed with this stupid Birthday feature.)

    also, i've already gone into iSync and cleared sync history....that didnt seem to affect anything.

  • Outlook and iPhone Calendar Sync Issue

    I’m having an issue where any meeting on my Outlook calendar that is after 3AM and spans multiple days (i.e meeting is from Sunday 4AM to Monday 6PM) it actually shows up on my phone as being Monday-Tuesday instead of Sunday-Monday.
    Has anyone else seen this?

    We have had this same issue on the older through to the latest os. I dont know whether the issue is the iphone diary or outlook.
    We have 2 phones syncing to one outlook account. If I put in an all day event on my iphone when it syncs to outlook it spans 2 days and then when synced back to the phone it honors this, so suddenly I have no idea which day the event is on.

  • IPhone and Windows 7 64 Bit - syncing issues

    Hi,
    Just wondering if anyone is able to help. I have updated to Windows 7 and am having problems syning my iPhone. It comes up with a multitude of errors but the most common is:
    'The iPhone "Michael's iPhone" can not be syned. The required file can not be found.
    I have restored the iPhone and after it resets, it sits at the Setup Window in iTunes for ages, then clicks over, starts syncing (it is doind that now) but also displays the error. Will be interesting to see if it actually finishes the sync and to see if the apps work on the phone.
    I have also removed iTunes, Quicktime, Mobile App Supprt, Apple Software Updater, Bonjour and reinstalled and still the sync issues coninue. I also ran the diagnostic tool in iTunes on syncing and detecting the iPhone and it reports everything is ok.

  • Address Book Sync Issue

    For some reason I can add entries to my address book on my mac but the inormation does not ever update on .mac even though the sync is up and running. I have attempted to re-set the sync and even gone so far as deleting all of my contacts on my mac and .mac and re-adding them through my mac. After performing that step, it syncs old data and never any new entries or changes. This issue is also occurring when syncing the contacts to my phone. I have entered new contacts and data and it is only syncing old info. I have even made sure all old back-ups have been completely deleted. Any ideas on how to fix this sync issue?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    You should not try to reset the synchronization framework by selectively deleting records. Those sorts of actions are liable to trigger additional problems. Instead, to this:
    • launch iSync
    • open the Preferences… dialog
    • press the Reset Sync History… button and follow the instructions which appear
    This will force a first-time, slow synchronization event the next time that one is manually or automatically triggered. Choose to merge your records when offered that option, as it will push and pull all of the records stored in each application, device or server, insuring that changes you've made anywhere are incorporated everywhere during the process.
    So that you better understand what is actually happening when you synchronize, read this document:

  • Extreme charging and syncing issues

    Okay, so for the past few weeks I've been developing charging and syncing issues. The first third party usb cable worked for a while and after some point it begin to physically wear and tear, and wires were disconnecting. Needed a new charger, so naturally I went and got another one. However, it didn't work, and as a measure to see if it was faulty, I plugged in the old one and smelt smoke/a burn smell.
    So, I plugged the new charger into an old ipod touch 2G and it charges and syncs just dandy. The 3GS is a particularly weird case here; as it will not charge while on. After letting it die, I plugged it in and got an empty battery indicator with a charging (lightning) symbol, and after a couple of minutes it powered back on, but still wasn't charging once ios actually booted up. Weird, right? If I could connect to windows I could restore it to remove the jailbreak, as using Erase All Content and Settings keeps the phone in an endless loop until I hard reset.
    The kicker here is that it seems to only charge when it's off, as if its plugged in and you slide to power off, and turn it back on later, it will sometimes have a higher percentage. And, at the place I work, we have many iPads so I plugged it up to the iPad chargers and it worked with some of them, albeit slower then expected.
    Is my phone not getting enough voltage or something of the nature? I have 3 wall adaptors, one apple, and two of them standard LG adaptors, and a third party usb cable that notably works for the iPod just fine. I've connected it to 3 different computers with itunes and the result was the same as if it was dead and plugged into the wall; enough power to boot to home screen then die afterwards.
    The thing that get's me is when I hit Erase All Content and Settings and it's plugged, it makes a charging noise indication but only when I hit that reset button. If it wasn't for that, I would beleive it was a hardware issue. That, or I'm just trying to deny the phone's inevitable fate. I needed a reason to switch to the 4s, so maybe this is it. I don't like giving on on something without fixing it though so it's gonna bother me until I do.
    Thanks for any suggestions or help!
