Backup Contacts, SMS, Calendar, Notes - Recommendations & Attn 'wjosten'

Dear all,
In December I was recommended a programme called 'Touch Copy' for backing up content from my existing iPhone. After multiple attempts to use it and contact with the software "help desk" (who were no help at all!), I've been given a refund as the software just doesn't work.
Can anyone recommend another utility for Windows that I can use to back up content from my iPhone, namely Contacts, SMS, Calendar, and Notes?
Many thanks in advance,
Edward

I don't know, on one hand, as long as the progress bar is moving there's hope that the backup will complete at some point. On the other hand, damaged data could be part of the backup made if it is ever completed. So, if you have a working backup of your phone as part of your computer backup or another one listed in iTunes/settings/devices, I would stop the process, copy your photos from your camera roll to your PC, delete them, reset the phone (press sleep and home button for 10 sec.) and try again.

  • Cant backup my sms,calendar and contacts using nok...

    help required urgently....im using a 7610 n i am unable to backup my contacts,sms and calendar items onto my laptop using ovi suite..there is a ! symbol adjacent to d contacts column which indicates dat i cannot backup my sms and contacts...please guide me what to do...i am able to create a backup for the remaining items such as settings and photos and videos..should i try n re install d nokia ovi suite or should i use a nokia pc suite to back up my contacts and sms....

    Do you mean the gray "i" in a circle at the end of the column? That is just an info indicator (hover mouse cursor over it). Contacts, calendar, notes, messages and bookmarks are included in every backup and you cannot exclude those.

  • Contacts and Calendar not sync'ing with Outlook 2010

    All was fine today until (maybe coincidental - maybe not) I had a Microsoft Exchange email account added to my Outlook 2010.  I have an iPhone 4, and I usually sync daily, especially when calendar or contact changes take place.  I am currently not using the icloud, so all contacts and calendar events would be way too outdated.
    I have checked my Outlook settings under "info" and cannot get my contacts and address to load.  I even see the "Contacts syncing"..."calendar sync'ing" when the overall iTunes sync takes place with my iPhone.
    Help!!

    Yes, it is. Do you have Desktop Manager v6?

  • Contacts and Calendar not synching. (Centro, Windows XP, Palm Desktop 6.2.2) Please help!

    I originally posted on the Hotsync forum, and it was suggested that I post my question here.  Important information:  My office uses Microsoft Outlook Exchange, and I have my Centro set up to get my emails.  It also wants to sync my contacts and calendar; however, that is completely unneeded for my purposes.  I need to synch my Contacts and Calendar with my Palm Desktop.  If there is something I have to check or uncheck to do so, please tell me how.
    This is my original post:
    "When I hotsynch, my memopad, my documents to go, everything seems to synch except my contacts and calendar.
    After a few hours on the phone with tech support at sprint, we went for the nuclear option, hard reset, and the temporarily solved the problem, but now it has returned.
    Information that might be important:
    I'm getting a failed to backup 1 file error>PmTraceDatabase>Protocol Error: Handheld file could not be opened (4004)>SYNCERR_FILE_NOT_OPEN.  This may or may not be relevent.
    Anyway, I appreciate any help with this.  I depend on this PDA phone to keep me organized and there's a slight and embarrasing touch of panic to how I feel now that it is not working correctly."
    Post relates to: VisorPhone

    Okay, I'm continuing to do research on this, and here's my suspicion, maybe true or maybe false.  When I set up versamail to get mail from my office's exchange server, it also configured my contact list and calendar to sync as well, and synching with the the exchange server and synching with my desktop software are mutually exclusive.
    If this IS true, then hopefully there is a way to set it up so I synch my email only with the exchange server, and leave my contact list and calendar configured to synch with my desktop software.
    Any feedback or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

  • Contacts and Calendar not syncing from phone to outlook

    I am having a problem with my iphone 4 that I never with my iphone 3G and not sure how long its been going on.
    When I had my iphone 3 whenevewr I would create or change a contact or a calendar event it would sync with my outlook info. Now if I make a change or add a contact or calendar event from my phone it doesn't change it in my outlook. But if I do it from outlook it shows up on my phone. For example I added a birthday for July 4th and its not showing up in my outlook calendar. Its created this new category on my phone for birthdays.
    Same thing with my contacts. If I add a contact on my phone it doesn't sync with outlook it puts it under my iphone contacts on my phone. HELP!!

    *Sync Your iPhone With Your Outlook Calendar Using iTunes*
    1.Open iTunes and check to make sure that you have the most recent version. Do this by clicking on "Help" and then clicking on "Check for Updates."
    2.Use the cable that came with your iPhone to connect it directly to your computer. This will automatically launch iTunes. Select "iPhone" from the iTunes source list. Click on the "Info" tab in iTunes.
    3.Click on the "Sync Outlook calendars" option. Click on "Apply" in the lower-right corner of your screen. Your computer will now sync with your iPhone based on your settings.

  • Contacts and Calendar not loading into Droid

    I have my email set up and I am receiving email messages.  I have Calendar, Contacts, and Email selected in the account settings for this account, yet contacts and calendar entries have not downloaded.
    Just noticed I had to hit the sync button while in the inbox view to get an email that was 15 minutes old.

    Which email app are you using?  I use YAHOO and there is a setting in the APP that I have to set for the frequency of receiving emails ... unfortunately the lowest number is 15 mins.   You can check out other email apps that have more frequency - I think K9 is one of those that people seem to like.

  • Contacts and Calendar not syncing

    I know everyone is having issues with calendar and outlook but I am having an issue with contacts and calendar. Anyone else having an issue with both.

    I sync'd my iphone and lost all my contacts, in the phone and in my address book on my mac. You are not the only one.
    Hopefully someone can help to get my information back.

  • Contacts and Calendar not Pushing

    After doing a restore and update to 2.1 my contacts and calendar data are no longer in my phone. I have set the push switches for the email address to one (email works fine). I have changed the push settings on the iPhone to manual, then 15. I have gone back to the email account and cancelled sync and restarted it. The data is just not downloading from the cloud.
    Any other ideas on how to encourage this to happen?
    Thanks

    Looking into this further, I found that my email address in my iPhone had a double @me.com. The address was [email protected]@me.com. The second @me.com did not show until I deleted the address and tried to type it in again. Then immediately the @me.com would appear after what I was typing but before the @me.com.
    I deleted the account and created a new one, and everything works for now.

  • Contacts and calendars not displaying

    I've copied over my contacts and calendar items [from Outlook 2003] to my iPod and they are not displaying at all [blank] when I browse to them in my device - are there any additional steps I need?
    Thx for the help!

    Hello fellow ipodders,
    I have an ipod photo 30Gb for about 3 months now.
    Running first with Itunes 5.01 and now Itunes 6.0.
    When I tried to sync between Ipod and Outlook 2003 SP1 at
    the end there is nothing displayed in the IPOD. No contacts or calendar items. The sync seems to go fine, even granting for access to Outlook 2003 is asked and I permit that for 10 mins. But at the end nothing in my ipod.
    Is this problem somehow resolved now. It has been posted for that long time now.
    BTW: I feel that Apple is only a sales company. Selling pretty expensive portable mediaplayers. But the word support isn't in their dictionary....
    Brgds,
    Bas.

  • Notes, contacts, and calendar not updating properly on iPad.

    I have a first and third generation iPad and a 5S iPhone And using iCloud to maintain calendars, notes, and contacts.
    Updates to calendar from iPhone displays on the first gen iPad, but not the newer gen iPad. Notes that I try to update using the newer gen iPad creates a new file  with the same name. Contacts work fine between the first gen iPad and the iPhone, not the newer gen iPad.
    iPhone one and third gen iPad have up to date operating system software installed.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    I meant to say there is not longer an option. I started saying that their contacts are not showing on the phone in groups.

  • How can I change imassage into regular sms on one of my contacts-sms do not reach my contact

    Somehow when I try to send sms to one of my contacts it changes into imassage, it seems that massage reaches the contact but he does not get anything I am sending. Maybe it has something to do with Icloud that I once tried and cancelled. Please, help. I just tried to send regular sms to the same contact (happy that my Iphone itself changed imassage into regular sms) and sms does not go through. What should I do??

    just send the iMessage, then touch and hold the blue buble for a second, it will pop up "send as text messege" touch it, and it will switch to text message

  • Ios8 - contact and calendar notes won't sync with Outlook

    After the ios8 upgrade, I have found that any note in either a contact or a calendar entry made on my iphone 5 won't sync with my office Outlook account, nor will any changes made to notes in a Contact in Outlook, update on my phone.  All worked fine pre-ios 8.  Anyone have a solution - have tried deleting accounts, re-booting, etc?  Thanks

  • Contacts and Calendar not sync across all devices

    Installed mavericks a few weeks ago.  Just looked at a contact on my iPad and iPhone and noted that changes made on my MacBook Pro are not showing up on either of these 2 devices.  What is going on?  I used to sync manually using iTunes.  Tried this just now and does not update info in either calendar or contacts.  I used to see :syncing Calendar, syncing contacts in the window describing progress - this does not appear.
    Very very confused. Syncing across all devices very important.  spend a lot of time in rural areas with no access to wi-fi.  Am I trapped in iCloud only? if so How does that work??   Help!

    Still confused - now I have multiple copies of the same event on my MacBook Pro, and iPad, and not at all on my i iPhone, 
    Just created a dummy contact on my iPad, and it appeared on MacBook Pro but not on iPhone. turned off iPhone and turned back on and new contact appeared.
    My calendar on iPhone has no data from the time I started using Mavericks until a dummy event I added this afternoon.  Do I need to turn my iPhone off and then back on to get it to sync? even with turning off and on the missing calendar items have not appeared.
    I am a bit reluctant (afraid) to go to the web and look at my iCloud.com account for fear of sending yet another copy of the same calendar appointments  and duplicate contacts / contacts info to myself on my devices.  I have multiple copies of the same contact on my MacBook Pro. some of the contacts have 3 or 4 duplicates of the same information - example "home phone" or "e-mail address."  Sometimes I have 3 or 4 copies of the same contact card. 
    Hope you are having a better day, I am completely confused and more than a bit frustrated.  Has anyone written an app to replace sync services in Mavericks?  I would gladly pay for it!

  • Why is iCloud sync for Mail, Contacts and Calendar not in effect after Apple repair?

    ... and how to restore it on my iMac? My other 2 devices, MBook and iPhone sync fine.
    Thanks a lot,

    Hi treetopguy2028,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are referring to when you say that iMessages does not sync. If you are talking about just iMessages proper (iMessage chat messages to other Mac/iOS users, not including SMS/MMS text messages from non-iOS phones), you may want to check that your Apple ID and phone number are correctly linked and configured, as outlined in the following article under the section labeled Use iMessage and FaceTime with multiple devices:
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support
    If you are referring to syncing all messages in iMessage, including SMS/MMS text messages, that would be a function of the new Continuity feature in iOS 8. In that case, this article may be more helpful (Note: Continuity requires iOS 8 on your devices and Yosemite on your Mac):
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
    Regards,

  • Outlook 2010 Contacts and Calendar not syncing

    I've looked thru the boards and can't find anything that helps me. My iphone syncs with iCloud but it doesn't sync with my PC.
    I'm running Office 2010 and the icloud add-in are there. I've checked the Calendar and Contacts in the iCloud configuration screen and they show Outlook.
    Any help would be appreciated. And does the iCloud acccount id [email protected] have to be know to Outlook and if so how is that done?
    Thanks

    Same problem here. I finally went at it app by app. If you turn contacts off, then you can get the calendar to synch. If you turn on calendar and contacts, then they BOTH lock up and won't synch.
    The problem seems to be in the contacts app. Synch your contacts with iTunes once, and then turn off contacts in icluod. This should work.
