Can't sync contaacts and calenders

This is my first time on this Forum. I need help! And, I am not very computer literate. I have a Palm Zaire 31 and have just bought a Blackberry Curve. I have been able to sync my contact list and my calender, but my contact list shows only the telephone numbers and my calender does not show any of the past events. Verizon was not able to help me and Blackberry was not able to help me either. They told me that I need to sync my Palm with my Outlook and then I can sync with my Blackberry but I have no idea how to do this. Can anyone walk me through this process in simple terms? Thanks!

Hi, and welcome to the Palm Support Community.
Assuming you now are synchronizing the Zire with Palm Desktop, you will need to run the installation disc again (hopefully you still have it) in order to change your synchronization method from Palm Desktop to M$ Outlook (and I believe this requires the full version of Outlook, not Outlook Express).
Once your data is in Outlook, I suggest you go to the Blackberry support site (this being a Palm forum, after all )...perhaps read the manual that came with your Curve...to see how to get your data from Outlook into the phone.

How can I sync contacts and calendar via iTunes 11.1.8 to iOS 3.1.3 (iPhone 1)?

I am proud owner of an iPhone 1 and it still works fine, but runs on iOS 3.1.3. I updated my 2 year old iMac to Mac OS X (10.9) and I am now using iTunes 11.1.8. Actually, I bought my iMac because I was so enthusiastic to see how smooth syncing with my iPhone worked. Now, since OS X, I can not sync calendar and contacts anymore. I had to reset my iPhone and start from scratch, so contacts and calendar are empty.
Sync via iTunes does not work anymore because Apple deleted the direct sync function and my iPhone's iOS does not support iCloud.
Sync via CalDav does not work, beause for some reason my iCloud account is not approved when trying to create it in mail/calendar/contacts (I tried several times, crosschecked, all data appear correct to me and work in the browser access).
Sync via Google does not work, because obviously, my iOS does not support their calendar and contacts function.
Sync via Windows PC might work, but I would have to set one up from scratch.
Downgrading to iTunes 10.7 failed, because OS X didn't allow it. Downgrading the Mac OS might be an option, but I am already running e.g. Books and using it a lot.
Any help is welcome.
Iris
P.S.: I still remember Steve Jobs saying "it simply works!"

Thank you Meta, but I could not get the calendar and contact sync with Gmail to work. Apple support already suggested to use Google or a Windows PC. Maybe I should actually reset and try my old Windows PC. Seriously, ... can this be the solution after a Mac OS update for pure Apple users?

Can I sync podcasts and ITunesU. from one computer to another that both have the same acount.

Can I sync podcasts and ITunesU. from one computer to another that both have the same account.

No. Time Machine won't get your boot camp partition back. There are excellent utilities that move entire hard drive contents among hard drives such as SuperDuper! and CCC, but as far as I know they don't work with boot camp partition. My suggestion: reinstall Mac OSX on your new Mac (you don't want to hold Option key to start it everytime anyway), partition it with boot camp exactly (or similarly) as you did to your previous Mac (install the same operating system, which should be one of the Microsoft Windows I assume). Use Migration Assistant as kaz-k suggested to move all the stuff on the Mac partition of your previous Mac. Reboot both your Macs from the boot camp partition - I assume they are all on Windows platform. Now you have two computers on Windows platform. Use Norton Ghost or similar tools to migrate all the stuff from your old machine to your new machine. Hope this helps. Backup all your data before such operation. Good luck.

Error Garageband - can't sync midi and audio

I have no midi attached but still get an error message "Can't sync midi and audio".
All I am trying to do is record a voice-over using the built in mic on the iMac. But this error message keeps popping up constantly. I close it and then 10 seconds later it pops up again.
Why is garageband trying to sync a mid that I have not connected?

Hi!
Enable all audio tracks (R) you wish to record. Then make sure you select the audio instrument you are using on the left of the arrange page (track list). If you here your input, hold shift, then highlight (gray) the mentioned audio tracks you wish to record on. When R is red, and the proper tracks are grey, you can record. Hope that made sense!

With home sharing, can I sync music and apps on multiple computers at home?

Hi.
With home sharing, can I sync music and apps on multiple computers at home?
Basically, I want to sync my iphone and ipad on 2~3 computers at home without deleting contents in my iphone and ipad.
thanks.

I did some more checking as I still had my old computer online.
I booted and went into iTunes.
Under DEVICES, the TV was listed, along with MUSIC, PHOTOS, PLAYLISTS, much like an iPod/Touch.
When I went into PREFERENCES->TV DEVICES, the TV was listed and on the site, it stated SYNCING.
On the other computer, it listed STREAMING. I did do a RIGHT CLICK on the device and selected "STOP STREAMING" and it disappeard - must RE-PAIR with the unit I guess.
I'm afraid to perform the following, but if someone out there has the equipment, maybe they can check...
Make sure nothing else is managing the TV.
Pair with the unit so you have all sorts of options under the device and it shows 'syncing'.
Now, create a new account and perform the same thing or use another Mac. I believe it will limit you to STREAMING only.
My thoughts are that ONLY ONE computer can sync (just like other device). I have to disconnect the association with the old computer.
Even though I moved everything over with Migration Assistant, I didn't have any issues with managing the iPhones, but I'm wondering if there is a Computer UUID that the AppleTV is TIED to. Since I'm on a different computer UUID, and it's being managed by another one, I'm limited to STREAMING.
Only other choice is to RESET the unit - now, where did my manual go?
Thoughts?

Can't Sync iPhone and Safari always crashes

I can not sync up my iPhone with my MacBook Pro. It doesn't give me any error messages, but it doesn't update anything either. My iPhone still says its syncing even though iTunes says its done. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and whatever that apple utility is for mobile devices. No luck. I've tried creating a new user account. No luck. I've tried restoring my phone, and I can't even do that. It does give me an error message.
The only way I can restore/sync my phone is to dig out my PC that I originally activated the phone on. It works like a charm on that, but I don't have my contacts up to date on that computer.
Any ideas???
Also, ever since I've upgraded to the latest 2.1xxx software, Safari crashes after about five minutes of use. Its like the memory isn't dumping anything and gets overloaded.
Any ideas for this?

Can I sync contacts and calendars with iTunes Match enabled?

I’m getting an iPhone in a couple of weeks and really want iTunes match but the more I read about it the more I’m wondering whether it’ll be worth the hassle. I’ve loads of old CD rips at 128 kbps and protected iTunes files, also at 128 kbps, and what really attracts me is the idea of upgrading all these to unprotected 256 kbps.
I have a Macbook for personal use and a PC for work, being able to sync both computers to the phone will be essential for me. I know that I wouldn’t be able to sync music with iTunes match enabled but if I can sync contacts and calendars and drag Office documents to the phone from both computers that would be OK.
Please could someone tell me whether this would be possible?

I think I understand now, it's nothing to do with syncing music - everything is synced through iTunes. Have I understood properly?
Yes. Including music.

This could be a major blow for me as I'll be using the iPhone mainly for work so I will have to Sync with the PC. If I understand this correctly, once I decide to sync with Outlook on the PC as the main priority I can no longer sync with the Macbook?
What if I ditch iCloud and sync everything through USB?
If it is possible for you to do so you might want to consider signing up for an iCloud account <http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html>. Keep in mind that iCloud and iTunes Match are seperate services. One does not require the other. However iCloud will work with Outlook 2007 and up so you can keep all your contacts in sync across the devices. You can also sign up for iTunes Match if you want. Or you might even consider using Google to do what you want. It is not necessary for you to keep syncing via USB, unless that is just what you are comfortable doing.

3GS: After upgrade to OS4 my BMW can not sync contacts and other informatio

Hello,
after the upgrade to OS4, my BMW can not sync the contacts, call information and other things via bluetooth. With OS 3.x, everything was fine.
How can I fix the problem? Reinstall OS3.x? Reboot my BMW
Thanks
Tom

Thanks, but as I've said I've tried all of that described in the reference you've kindly given. I don't have a local cache, and hence no PST files. The only one I have is an OST file which I have checked for integrity using the Microsoft supplied tools. I have switched to local PST (a suggestion given in another thread), and found that not to work either, so have switched back to non cached. I have even renamed the OST file to .BAK, and had it rebuilt. Again to no avail. There is a bona fide bug here. The http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306635 article does only say "This may be due to the format of the Outlook Personal Storage File (.PST)", so I guess as the operative word is "may", its not a guarantee of this being the solution.
Also I'm not syncing my contacts, I'm only doing the calendar nothing else.
Additionally, this used to work, so your hypothesis, of the "bad data", being synced in 7.6 and then not being able to be subsequently budged is a definate goer I think. But the trick would be to work out what the bad data is. I'm assuming the source of the bad data is the iphone, so I've deleted old calendar in outlook entries I know to have come from the iPhone, that has, as yet, been a fruitless exercise.
I do thank you though for your help though, I'll be scouring the internet for any tidbits of information which might help, and I'll post them back here if I find the solution, or anything which may help others unfortunate enough to be in this situation.

Can't Sync Contacts and Calendar -- Look Here

Ok, to quell the confusion on this issue let me fix the general errors with this so others here can see why this is caused and how to fix it.
First if you cannot sync contacts and calendar and only those two items check your hotsync log. And look for contacts and calendar if you do not see these items this means you have an exchange server setup on the device or did at one point. To fix this go into email(Versamail) and tap on your account name in the top left then go to accounts and account setup. Once in here check all your accounts by clicking on them and then hitting edit. Look for EAS or only one server address. If this is what you have you are syncing to exchange and Versamail takes over contacts and calendar from hotsync. This cannot be changed. If you do not have EAS or one server on the device. It is possible that Versamail is holding the contacts and calendar due to you had exchange before. If this is the case the only thing you can do is a hard reset to resolve the issue. I understand that most cannot backup there data(contacts and calendar). But to fix this issue you will need to do the hard reset.
If you are not using exchange and find contacts and calendar in your hotsync log but have OLERR under them please look at this KB for possible fixes to this issue. http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/NUA/launchKB.asp?c=31167
Lastly if you are using Verizon's WirelessSync. Just by having this installed will disable contacts and calendar from syncing. To enable this go into WirelessSync then settings-->advanced settings and enable other sync applications.

I'm having this issue, but can't find any issues with an Exchange server (I don't work in a big office, and we don't have one set up). My phone did a hard reset this past weekend when I tried to send a picture via Snappermail (which I use instead of Versamail, if it matters); I was able ot restore all my data with the next hotsync, but, after that, it stopped syncing the Contacts and Callendar (but the hotsync log shows no errors--although it also doesn't say htey synchronized correctly, either). I've tried doing what was suggested in the first post of this thread (to the best of my ability--as I don't use Versamail, I just tried to do the same thing with Snapper, and made sure no accounts were up on Versamail). I've also uninstalled and reinstalled the Desktop, and performed a hard reset on my Treo. Still, nothing. I'd backed up the contacts and addresses on my memory card with FileZ, and that's the only place I've got the current info--I somehow lost the separate back-up I'd created on my desktop (outside of my Palm folder) for my contacts, although the datebook info is still there. I'm using Vista, and running Desktop 6.2.2. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated immensely--I've lost a few nights sleep trying to get this figured out, and am at the end of my rope. Thanks!

Can't sync contacts and calendar

Hello,
I am using OVI 2.2.0.241 and it is failing to sync contacts and calendar:
Error code for contacts: 80043b21
Error code for calendar: 80043bd4
It doesn't sync anything between the device and ovi. I updated a contact in OVI, but it was not updated on my phone
I am using Office 2010 64x under Windows 7 64x. Language is PT-BR in all aplications.
My phone is N95 8GB V30.0.018
Let me know if any more info is necessary.

Hi Guys
Look, I don't know if this will help perhaps.
We use Novell Groupwise (a stupid system if you ask me) at work and I finally got Outlook and Groupwise to be happy together concerning email. None of my problems were Outlook or MS issue, everything was Novell's fault. Then I had a lot of trouble getting my N8's calendar to sync to Outlook from Nokia Suite v 3.4.49, again this was Novell's fault.
So my solution was to create a dummy account in Outlook, which I only use for my calendar....and no problem.
The dummy account I set up uses my actual email address as a POP3 account with the correct server information. But I set it to ask for a password everytime and I set the port number to be deliberately incorrect. So now, I have a calendar that syncs, no problem and I have my work email in outlook from Novell that works no problem (except for the occasional crash, again Novell's fault). It is a slight compromise, because everytime Outlook Sends/Receives, it gives and error on the dummy account I created; but I just ignore this.
I can't quite understand why you can't create a calendar in Outlook that is not linked to an email address?
I hope this helps? or gives you an idea to a solution.
P.S. I think Nokia completely messed up the N8 with software. It was an absolutely stunning phone when it came out of the box; and as the newer software versions came out, the phone went downhill.
