Calendar events modified when syncing btw Entourage2008 & iPhone

I sync contacts, notes and calendar btw Entourage 2008 and my iPhone 3.0. Everything had been syncing smoothly but suddenly I have got a msg saying that more than 5% of my computer calendar records will be modified. I cancelled the calendar sync.
When I checked the details of the modifications it shows the following for one record:
Before sync the birthday event ( which pulls directly from contacts) shows Classification "Public" and no alert scheduled
After sync the birthday event shows Classification "empty" and an alert is scheduled
I don't know what classification refers to and on my iPhone and my Entourage calendar this particular birthday event has an alert already scheduled.
One other unusual thing I have found is that many of the birthday events are duplicated in the Entourage calendar in iCal and on my iPhone, but on my main Entourage calendar they appear only once.
Appreciate any assistance. Andrew

Don't sync those entries to your work calendar. The iPhone supports multiple calendars. If you're not using iCloud, start using it and keep your personal stuff out of your work calendar.
Marking them as private manually will NOT protect them from view by others. Your supervisor , theirs, and on up the food chain, may well have the ability to see your "private" calendar entries.
From the perspective of IT and the company/organization, there is no such thing as "private" or "personal" data on company owned computers and networks.

TS3999 I see all of my calendar events in iCal and on my iPhone, but not in the iCloud web app. Any ideas why?

If the calendar is on iCoud.com, all you would need to do to get it on your phone is go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, sign into your iCoud account and turn Calendars on. The iCloud calendars will then download to your phone.

Sorry, can you explain your problem a little more.

No events listed when syncing with iPhone

When syncing with iTunes, events are no longer listed when choosing option s photos on the iPhone?? Why

I confirmed that I have the radio button checked that says "Sync all Contacts", but not the one that specifically shows Yahoo! Address Book. So the question remains, why does iTunes consistently prompt me to sync Yahoo! Address Book? How can I stop that from happening?

My calendar events transfer during sync from iPhone to iPad but not vice versa.

When I try to sync my calendars all of the entries on my iPhone appear (even the duplicates) on my iPad but my entries on the iPad do not transfer to my iPhone. I have tried switching the order they sync in (iPhone after iPad or iPad and then iPhone) but no changes. I have the "All Calendars" box checked on my iTunes. Any suggestions?

I assume you are syncing cal's through iTunes. While I am not sure how to solve your problem, I'd recommend using Google Exchange to sync your contacts. It works in real time and uses your gmail credentials to do so.

Possible bug when syncing between iCal & iPhone

Am I doing something wrong. Here's the scenario.
I have set up a continuous repeating appointment in iCal for my daughter
Mon-Fri inclusive. 'School'
I then went and changed selected events to 'Summer Holiday' where applicable, each time I changed a day it asked whether I wanted to change 'Just this event' or 'All future events'.
I selected 'Just this event'.
iCal worked fine and showed the new event on the correct days, but when I synced with the iPhone, the iPhone showed two events, the original repeating event and now the amended event as a new one. After the sync iCal still showed as correct
It seems to be a flaw in the sync between the iPhone and iCal.
Does this make sense?
Can anyone else duplicate this scenario, or am I doing something wrong?
What is the best way to report this to Apple as a sync bug, if it is one?
cheers for listening to this waffle

Yes, I've experience the same problem. In addition, when I enter a calendar event in iCal it syncs to the iPhone. When I enter a calendar event in the iPhone it does NOT sync to iCal on my intel based macbook. I've followed the "iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant" to the end without fixing the problem.

Calendar event updates without sync

Can iPhone be set up to receive changes in one's Outlook calendar events without plugging the phone into one's desktop computer in the same way that iPhone gets mail messages? Most of the current Mobile Windows phones and I believe all Blackberrys do this. If not, is anyone aware of why not and when Apple may fix this?

This is called over the air syncing (OTA) for short and the iPhone does not support this.
I believe this would involve Apple licensing ActiveSync from Microsoft with no way of knowing if Apple has any plans to do so.

Photos are sorted by date modified when you sync from iTunes. If you have them arranged out of date sequence, they will not sync that way onto the iPad. You can read more here.

My Outlook 2013 calendar events will not sync up on my iPad

I have outlook 2013, the iCloud control center on my PC, an iCloud account and enabled all appropriate settings on my iPad (and iPhone 5c). I am able to see my calendar events in outlook and in my apple calendar on my PC and on my Macbook Pro, but am not able to see any of my OUTLOOK initiated calendar events on my iPhone or iPad. I have attempted to follow instructions about syncing using iTunes (which doesn't seem to really be an option anymore) as well as syncing via iCloud (but there doesn't really seem to be an option to add an account other than my apple account via iCloud accessed over the web).
Anyone else having the same issue? Anyone have any suggestions?

My long audiobook files are reduced to very short track lengths when synced with my iPhone

Hi,
(I had a look for this post from somebody else but didn't see anything, apologies if I'm doubling up...)
I have a couple of audiobooks with loooong track lengths, like 10-11 hours per track. But when I sync them to my iPhone to listen, the tracks are cut drastically, only being about an hour each, meaning that I lose the other 10 hours or so of the chapter...
Is there a reason why this happens and does anyone know how to correct this problem?
Cheers

Just to add to what ChrisJ4203 said. You can sync them to your new computer using iTunes by selecting to Include Voice Memos on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing. However, you still need to re-establish syncing with the new computer without iTunes erasing all the iTunes media from your phone (as the warning mentioned).
If you copy your entire iTunes folder (not just your music) from your old computer to your new one, along with other non-iTunes media you may be syncing with iTunes (such as contacts, calendars and any photos synced to your phone from your old computer) by using migration assistant of following one of these methods: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527, then when you sync again with your new computer it will recognize your phone and sync as it did before. You will still have to authorize the new computer for any Apple IDs used to purchase from the iTunes and App stores (in iTunes>Store>Authorize this computer).
After that you can sync your voice memos to your computer as mentioned earlier.
If you want to archive your voice memos before you do anything with iTunes, you can use a 3rd party program such as PhoneView or Touch Copy.

Calendar events off by 1 hour on iPhone and iPad

Since Sydney went into daylight savings time this week, events entered on my Mac appear 1 hour later on my iPhone, and events entered on my iPhone appear 1 hour earlier on my Mac.
Clock on Mac and iPhone both agree on the time.
Time zone on Mac (System Preferences>Date & Time) set to automatic timezone which is correctly displayed as Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT).
Time zone on iPhone (Settings>general>Date & Time) set to auto and currently displays "Sydney".
Time zone support on iPhone (Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars) set to 'on' and time zone displayed as "Sydney"
Interestingly, the same problem also affects my iPad, and affects both my iCloud calendar events and my Google Calendar events.
Any ideas about what I should do?
Thanks,
- alan

A screen dump showing iCloud in Safari and iCal on my Mac, with both iCloud and iCal set to Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEDT) but the event out by an hour on iCloud (and hence iPhone I guess).

What's the deal when syncing to an iPhone? Unexpected results

I'm new to Aperture, and have had odd issues when syncing selected Aperture albums through iTunes to my iPhone 3G. First, the photos appear in chronological order in Aperture 2, but are completely random when browsing the albums on my iPhone. Also, edits do not appear in images on my iPhone - not even simple crops. Can anyone please help? I've restored my iPhone once, and it didn't do anything, and it's frustrating that I cannot find a photo on my iPhone when I want. iPhoto did it fine!

Well, I did a test a few minutes ago. I made a working copy of one photo and gave it a big blue cast, so I could see the difference to the original photo. The working copy was stacked together with the original, so I moved the working copy to first place in the stack. I checked the settings in Aperture for iLife support: quality is set to 10 and max. size of previews is set to 1920x1920 px. On top of the iLife checkmark is the checkmark "create previews on demand" which is checked in my case.
I then connected my iPhone and synched it with iTunes to that project. The photo with the blue cast I created in Aperture was shown on my iPhone. Thats it.

Purchased songs lost when syncing from my iphone to itunes, how do I get them back?

I have not had my iphone to my labtop for a month, Connected it just now, and when itunes was done syncing only the two newest purchases, of about 20 over the last month, was synced.
None of the others are left on either the iphone, nor are their anywere to be found on my itunes...
How do I retriewe them????

Agree but annoyed that the IPhone syncs just about everything automatically except photo in camera roll. I just use windows explorer to copy and paste the photo files to my PC subdirectory. IPhone does sync photos from a chosen pc subdirectory to your Iphone. Strange they go only one way when "syncing" to me means maintaining both devices with the same files. Oh well, maybe the next OS will do it.

Is there any Contact Manager or Address Book that I can install on my PC (Windows 7) that when synced to my Iphone that will accept my custom Lables for type of entry, such as you have- Home, Work, then "Private Line" ?

I am wondering if in fact there is any Contact Manager or Address Book that I can install on my PC running Windows7 that when synced with my 4s that it will retain all my custom lables for phone numbers in Contacts on my iPhone, such as Sandra's Private Line, Cadillac, Bat Phone or what ever?

Hi sahgin,
The issue eventually resolved itself, I still don't really know why. I kept up with Windows update, and attempted downloading iTunes again from the Apple website, and it just... worked. It now works fine. I don't know why it took approximately 4 months to work, though.
I'm sorry I don't have any more helpful information. Posting here was my last resort, and clearly Apple never bothered to reply.
