An extra group 'on my iphone' appeared after i sync with windows contact via itunes

I am having this problem which appears to be happened after i sync with my computer. In the contact group, there is an extra group 'on my iphone' appeared after i sync with windows contact via itunes, and even though now i stop syncing already, the group is still there. Can anyone here give me some suggestion on how to remove this group permantly, i not just wanted to remove the contacts but the entire group form appearing on my iphone. Thanks.

Is the app compatible with the iPhone (e.g. it's not and iPad-only app), and do you have the relevant iOS version on the phone ? Or do you have Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps set 'off' on the phone which will stop new apps being installed ?

  • IPhone 3G doesn't sync calendars and contacts via mobileme

    Hi.
    Since the initial setup, my new iPhone 3G doesn't sync up with MobileMe.
    After some trouble in the beginning MM works fine now between my Powerbook and my iMac but although my MM-settings on the iPhone are correct and set to sync calendars and contacts, it simply doesn't.
    I have tried everything on the iPhone:
    Push (nothing happens).
    Disconnecting push, using manual or automatic (15 min, 30 min, 1 hour).
    Deleting my MobileMe account on the phone, thus erasing all contacts and calendars, then retyping everything correctly (and getting no message to suggest otherwise).
    ITunes too tells me, that calendars and contacts are sync'ed through MM and I can't sync iCal and Contacts using the cable either.
    Also, when I open System/MobileMe/Synchronize/Advanced on either of my computers to see the list of devices connected to my MobileMe, it only shows my computers on that list - not the iPhone!
    Can anyone help me with this or do I just have to wait for Apple to realize that MM doesn't work on iPhone 3 (2.2) - which kind of defeats the whole purpose of getting it in the first place?
    Thanks,

    This is a list of registered computers with your MM account, not a list of registered devices. Your iPhone will not be shown in the list of registered computers, because it isn't a computer.
    I thought so, but wanted to mention it in case I was wrong.
    Have you tried turning Contacts and Calendars off for over the air syncing with your MM account preferences on your iPhone followed by turning both back on?
    I have tried everything I can think of, and that includes the above.
    When doing this, however, the phone prompts me to accept that all calendar events and contacts on the phone are erased in order to sync new information from MobileMe.
    I accept, but trouble is that no new info comes the other way, although the "spinning wheel" is running for ages.
    I can again say, that the iPhone has been set up to MobileMe using the correct password and addres.
    Neither Push, nor set intervals or manual sync have worked at any time.
    The only way, I can put my calendar and contacts onto it is by deleting the MobileMe account on the phone and syncing via USB

  • Iphone 4 does not syncing with latest version of itunes

    Dear other users,
    My iphone 4 was syncing really great for several weeks on my windows XP computer. Suddenly it was not possible syncing anymore. Probably I used my iphone 4 while syncing. Now when I push the USB cabel into my computer the computer crashes and starts up in the 'save mode'. Even after re-installation of the newest version of itunes there is no live between the iphone 4 and my computer. When I try to sync itunes starts up for only 1 second, and then the computer starts up again. In stead of the text: 'iphone fond on your computer' (when pushing USB cabel into computer) I can see the text: Digital Still Camera. So probably the computer recognises only the camera from the iphone????
    Greatings,
    EL

    Dear all,
    Today I tried my iphone on an other window XP computer (a computer where no itunes was installed in de past). And I made another account for itunes on that computer after installing itunes. The connection was perfect and my iphone could syncing with itunes, no problemes at all. After that I tried my iphone on my own computer with the new account for itunes, but there was the same crash and restart as in the past (problems in sector one of the harddisk?). Now I'm sure for 100% that there is a computer problem and not an iphone problem, caused by interrupting the syncing procedure by myself through using the iphone. I hope the problem can be solved in the near future, cause I can imagine that I'm not the only one who tried to do this.
    Greatings,
    EL

  • Iphone 3GS will not sync with Windows

    I could not get it to sync and the dealer then told me it does not work with Windows 7 so I am returningd it and the other stuff I bought from the apple store and cancelled my order for another one and 2 new macs. The dealer was not too worried. Apple must have so many customers that they do not have to worry about new ones, nice business. Misrepresentation of a products capabilities is one day going to cost them though in my experience. I have bought a 3 ipods which did actually work. iPhone is a product that does not work with Windows 7 and a 1 year old laptop and in the year 2009 that is almost unbelievable and should be told to consumers before they buy and struggle and then realise they have been sold a dud.

    I think you are mixing things up. This is a patch supplied by Intel to motherboards and BIOS (BASIC INPUT OUTPUT SYSTEM) manufacturers who based their newest motherboards on Intel P55 chipset. To get this fix you update your BIOS. The BIOS is independent of any operating system (it comes with the motherboards already flashed). Has nothing to do with Apple or Microsoft.
    here is a link
    A few days ago we had reported a problem with iTunes sync between the iPhone and PCs equipped with Windows 7 of the Intel P55 chipset. Intel released a patch that solves this problem within seconds. You can download the patch here and then start the installation. Restart your computer and you will see all your sync problems are solved.
    NOTE: If your computer doesen’t feature the specs above, do not install the patch. Otherwise, happy syncing….

  • Contacts sync with windows contacts ignores "iPhone" numbers.

    Was sync'ing contacts through iTunes today and noticed that any phone numbers on my iPhone that were classified as "iPhone" (as opposed to mobile, home, work, etc) are dropped on my windows contact card.  I have to change them to "Mobile" to get them to sync to the PC. 
    Anyone else notice this?  Is there a way to map "iPhone' numbers to a valid field in windows contacts?

    Thanks I thought I was the only who is trying to solve the same problem.

  • Can't download Mountain Lion / iPhone 5 won't sync with iCal & Contacts on iMac

    Have a 2007 iMac.  Running Snow Leopard.  Contacts and iCal aren't syncing to iPhone 5.  Did a little research and decided maybe it was because I'm not upgraded to Mountain Lion.  Tried to download Mountain Lion and it says it cannot because it requires 2GB of memory.  Help.  What do I do now?

    A 2007 iMac, according to http://www.everymac.com can go up to 6 GB ram.  you have to check and see if yours is on the compatible list at http://www.apple.com/osx/specs and if it is not, you can still go to Lion by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE and purchaing a download code to use to download 10.7.5 from the Mac App Store.  Lion is compatible with iCloud, also.
    You still need at least 2 GB ram, 4 GB is much better.  Go to OWC, or Crucial to see about more ram.

  • Contacts created on iPhone won't sync with exchange, only via USB

    When I create a new contact on my iPhone from within the phone app, it doesn't get synced to my exchange server, in fact it doesn't show up anywhere in the contacts app or under contacts in the phone app. If I create a new contact from the contacts app it only allows me to create it in my exchange contacts folder but it does sync properly. When I create a contact from within the phone app I am not given a choice of group at all and unless I have a recent call from that contact, it is nowhere to be found on my phone or computer. So the question is how do I get new contacts created on my phone from within the phone app to sync with exchange? The only way I have been able to sync contacts created within the phone app thus far has been with iTunes via USB which works fine but I want to sync contacts bidirectionally via exchange ota.
    Thanks for any help

    I have more information to share.
    When you launch the Contacts app on the iPhone, hit the "Groups" button in the top left. What I see on that page are these 3 sections:
    All Contacts >
    From My Mac
    All From My Mac >
    Group A >
    Group B >
    Group C >
    etc
    Foobar (Exchange)
    Foobar Global Address List >
    After many hours of trial and error, I have come to the understanding that the iPhone Contacts app has potentially multiple data stores which seem to correspond to each sync source configured (eg AddressBook, Exchange, etc.) Refering to my example above, I have enabled Contacts syncing with my AddressBook (via iTunes) and an Exchange mail account, so my iPhone shows 2 separate sections with the generic "All Contacts" appearing as the first section at the top.
    Entering the contact listings page via the "All Contacts" button will show an integrated list of contacts from all sync sources (in my case, two: contacts from AddressBook on my Mac and contacts from my Foobar Exchange account).
    If you click the "+" button to add a new contact when you have entered the listing page via "All Contacts", it seems the record is only stored on the iPhone and does NOT get sync'd. Specifically, it does not get synced to the Mac AddressBook nor to the Exchange account.
    However, if you have entered the listings page via any group in the "From My Mac" section or "Foobar (Exchange)" section, and create a new contact via the "+" button there, that contact DOES get sync'd to the appropriate sync source (AddressBook or Exchange in my case).
    Furthermore, if you enter the listings page via a specific group in the "From My Mac" section (eg "Group A") and create a new contact from in there, it will appear in "Group A" in AddressBook after sync. If you enter the listings page via the generic "All From My Mac" button, then the new contact will be added to whatever group you have specified in iTunes (under the iPhone Info tab etc. as mentioned in the prior post).
    All up, I guess, there may not be a bug here after all. I must simply always remember to add new contacts when I am in the "All From My Mac" section, if I want them to be synced to my Mac.
    However, I do think that it's a confusing and poor user experience (and may lead to loss of data) if you add new contacts from the generic "All Contacts" entry point, because they will NOT be synced as you'd expect them to. I am guessing this also might only happen when you have multiple sync sources defined, simply because the app doesn't know which sync source to associate them with: AddressBook or Exchange? But, at the point of adding that new contact, the app should prompt you for the sync source to use, or at least WARN you that your contact is going to be an orphan record solely residing forever more on your iPhone. If you ever reset your iPhone those contact records would be lost forever.

    I accidentally synced my mum's brand new iPad to my mac book air. A few days later I realised that my iTune library on my mac is completely gone. So is my iPhone 4s after I synced it with my mac. How do I get my old iTunes library back? I tried using icloud on my iphone but it stated that I have never back up my phone before. So I guess my iCloud data is gone too? But I have back up my mac in my harddrive using time machine. So how do I get my old itune library back? Please help! Thanks!

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

    We aren't Apple, just users like you. Have you tried a reset? Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

    Is the device recognized in iTunes? What happens when you try to sync? What have you done to try and correct it? Before anyone can recommend anything, they need to know a little more information.

  • HT1766 I cannot complete my iphone configuration after sofware update, when i connect to itunes i keep gettin  a try again later message

    I cannot complete my iphone configuration after sofware update, when i connect to itunes i keep gettin  a try again later message

    That's usually a sign that your phone was hacked/jailbroken, and iTunes has detected such, errored out, preventing your phone from activating. Since Apple does not support hacking/jailbreaking, that's what happens, by design.
    We can't help you here, as Apple owns this forum. You'll have to go elsewhere.

    Is your iPhone connected to your computer using the lightning cable or are you doing WiFi sync?
    Sometimes the iPhone doesn't show up in the side bar if you're using WiFi syncing, if its not working, then be connected to your WiFi on your phone and on your computer (Same network) let me know how it's going, if it doesn't work still. Turn your phone off and on again and put in your pass code then try to sync it (keep your phone unlocked and not in sleep mode) tel me if it appears in the side bar.
