Contact Detail Order Changing When Syncing

I have contacts in Mac OS X address book and on my iphone. Within the contacts on my mac I have the datails "home"/"mobile" etc for different people. When I sync my iphone 3G with my mac, the order changes on my iphone to "mobile"/"home". The same happens when I create a contact on my iphone, the order changes on the mac when I sync. This is a manual sync, not mobileme. Any way to stop it doing this?
Thanks

Ever since upgrading to 2.0, my syncing takes forever and my addressbook won't synch in the order chosen and seen on the mac either. this used to be so easy

  • Album song order changes when synced to i-pod

    On I-tunes the songs in the albums are in the correct playback order but when I sync it to my i-pod the some of the songs are in the wrong order. Everything looks ok when I look at the "get info" section. Any ideas?

    looks like I figured out something that worked for me. In itunes I selected a playlist on my ipod, inside that playlist I selected an entire album by shift clicking the first and last song. In this example I'll use "album x" which has always been out of order on my ipod...after I selected the entire album I chose "get info" when the window pops up I saw that the "album artist" box was empty but the "artist" box wasn't. I just typed the same thing that was in the "artist" box into the "album artist" box and hit ok...after a quick resync "album x" which has always been out of order is now all of a sudden in order...and it has worked for multiple albums on my ipod, especially the sound tracks, give it a shot and let me know if it works for you.
    Thanks

  • Contact email type changed when syncing

    hello!
    i have quite a few contacts on my iPhone with various emails each one. most of which i took the time in assigning each one either work or home email type/label. but after syncing with my computer (pc / outlook 2003), most of the contacts have the email type wrong/switched.
    any ideas?
    thanks!

    Something similar happened with the original iPhone launch, when I for one "assumed" that Notes and Task syncronization would be included. If a Palm could do it, why not the iPhone?
    I have since learned to let other people be first adopters and read reviews and comments before buying. This time around I knew about the lack of Task synchronization, but I had not read anything about mail and contact field issues.
    Oh well, next time I need to wait a little bit longer I guess. Either that or enjoy living on the bleeding edge of technology (and inter company squabbling )

  • Outlook Mail + Contact  + Calendar folders change after sync

    I use Outlook and after sync with my iPhone my Favorite Folder list changes. The Calendar and Contact folder names appear in Favorites (not there before) and cannot be deleted by right click and selecting "Remove from Favorite Folders". I found that by rebooting my computer the two folder names disappear but so do all my folders I added to my Favorites list. The only ones remaining are the default ones; Inbox, Outbox etc. I have to then select and add the additional ones I require. Also, when I now click the Calendar button I see only the three month calendar on the left pane and the day calendar on the right pane...with no other options available and when I click the Contact button I get the Calendar choices and if I click one of those choices the Calendar button light up.
    To access my Contacts I have to right click the Contacts button and select "Open in New Window". If I do the same with the Calendar button I get the same Calendar window as just by clicking the Calendar button.
    Has anyone experienced this problem? How can I fix it?
    This happens each type I sync. All the contact info and appointment info sync OK to the iPhone.

    Hi,
    I activated Exchange sync for contacts and also Mobile Me sync for Address Book in the first phase when I started to use my iPhone 3G. So I didn't lost any local contacts on my phone. Both Exchange and Mobile Me work on my phone simultaneously.
    I can put Mobile Me sync off and those contacts will disappear from my phone. And when I re-connect Mobile Me, contacts sync fine back to my phone.
    I have minor problem though, Exchange sync works fine from my phone to server and vice versa. But Mobile Me seems not to work from Address Book to Phone. When I do this disconnect - reconnect workaround I can get the results I'm looking for, but it's not that user-friendly and "it's only working"-type procedure to do.
    Any ideas where could be the problem?

  • Date ordered changing when certain parameters are updated.

    Hello All,
    I came across an Issue where DATE ORDERED is changing when certain parameters are updated, such as agreement. Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Veronica.

    Hello Veronica,
    Negotiation Phase is only for Quotes - it does not apply to Sales orders. You need to create a Defaulting Condition template similar to that called 'In Fulfilment Phase' for Sales orders.
    Here are the details:
    (1) Navigate to Setup >> Rules >> Search for Application='Order Management' and Entity = 'Order Header' >> Once the rules appear click on 'Defaulting Condition template' >> Under 'In Negotiation Phase' create another Validaton template named 'In Fulfillment Phase' >> Enter any Group# >>Under Validation Rules, Select Attribute as 'Transaction Phase' >> Mark it '=' 'Fulfillment' >> Save
    (2) Click Tools (top menu option) >> Generate Defaulting Handler package (you can also run the conc program)
    (3) Go to the Ordered Date defaulting rule and do as I had mentioned below.
    Please let me know if that helped.

  • Events from iCal changes when synced with phone :-((

    Hi! I've just bought a bluetooth adapter so I can sync my phone with ical. I'm convinced this will bring me one step closer to a digital synchronized heaven, but (of course) I encountered a problem:
    When I have added an event to my phone (Sony Ericsson T610) and syncs the calendar with my laptop (iBook G4 933 MHz), the event is "postponed" by two hours. For example: I have an appointment with - say - Pamela Anderson from 12:00 to 15:00 which I add to my phone. When syncing with iCal, the event has changed to 14:00-17:00.
    When I add the event to my laptop first, and then syncs it with the phone - the time of the event is set two hours earlier . To take my great example again, the event would then appear to be from 10:00-13:00.
    I've gone through all preferences etc. I can find in both iCal, iSync and on the phone. I've found no help online either... Does anyone have a clue? If so, please give me a hint on what to do, I would be immensely grateful!

    I was convinced that my time zone was GMT, but when I checked it was GMT +2 hrs, which solved my problem! Thank you so much Julian for helping me solve this, I cant wait to start a synced life

  • Contacts duplicated numerous times when syncing iPhone 4

    Since updating to iOS5, when syncing my wife's iPhone 4, many of her contacts are duplicated numerous times.  She has Windows 7 and uses MS Outlook for contacts and calendar.  Contacts in her Outlook file are not duplicated.  I can manually delete the duplications, but the next sync repeats the duplications.  How do I stop this madness?

    I have the same problem. Using an iPhone 3G.
    Events made on the iPhone multiply every time the iPhone is synced with the Macbook. Events made in iCal on the Macbook pro do not seem to double up when synced with the iPhone.
    When creating events on the iPhone I usually set the events to repeat every day (until i complete the event and then I delete it)
    Hope some one can offer some insight.

  • Photo order changes when burn CD

    I created iPhoto album in a certain order. When I burn CD the order changes, seemingly randomly. The order of the show is important. How do I prevent this? Thank you, MP

    The order is probably alpha-numeric, based on the File Name of the photos. iPhoto allows you to change the photo's title, but to change the file name you must export a copy outside of iPhoto.
    Select your album. Then export to a desktop folder, with "use album name" checked. If your album is named "Winter" then the photos will be names "Winter 01," "Winter 02," etc. Your order should be preserved.
    If your photo titles are important, you could pad the beginning of each title with a numeral. Then export with "use title" checked, and the file name will become the photo's title.

  • Sort order changes when adding a phonetic last name?

    I have my contacts sorted and displayed by first name. If I add a phonetic last name to a contact, it changes the order of that person to the top of list. Why wouldn't it leave them in the first name alphabetic order?

    Ok this is what I'm doing...
    My last name is spelled with "liter."
    Siri pronounces that like "a 2 liter of soda."
    So I've added the phonetic last name field on the contact card to help her pronounce it like "lighter."
    On my contact info,
    First name: Bill
    Last name: Hinderliter
    Phonetic last name: Hinderlighter
    If I delete the phonetic last name field... It sorts the contact perfectly.
    If I add it, the contact is placed on top of all the "B's" in the list.
    On a side note... I found another website with a temporary fix to this problem. The person there says to use the nickname field instead of phonetic field when getting Siri to pronounce things.

  • Catagory changes when sync

    When I sync my 80gb ipod with my computer all my podcasts and all but one of my audiobooks become "music" on my ipod. They are catagorized properly in itunes. This makes "shuffle" a pain on the ipod and makes it hard to find the books and podcasts. I noted some others have this problem with audiobooks or movies too, but not podcasts. My movies and TV shows sync'd fine (and so did one audiobook, but not 3 others)???

    I found the post below under other questions related to audiobook issues similar to mine. I followed it with a couple minor changes and it fixed my audiobook problem. I deleted the audiobook file from itunes (but kept the file instead of moving it to the recycle bin). I sync'd my ipod to remove the file from it. Then I changed the file extension as describes and added it back to itunes. Then sync'd my ipod again and everything is where it should be.
    "Re: Audiobooks - Not showing up in iPod Music > Audiobooks playlist
    Posted: May 16, 2007 12:02 PM in response to: DC Hero Fan
    I think this has been covered in several posts (search under "audiobooks"). Basically, even the stuff you download from iTunes Store is not always formatted correctly for your iPod to place in the correct spot.
    Downloaded books show up in iTunes under Audiobooks, but not on your iPod under the same. Close iTunes. From windows explorer, find the audiobook in your My Documents/My Music/iTunes/iTunes Music folder and change the extension on the file from .m4p or .m4a to .m4b and then relaunch iTunes. Find the audiobook and play it for a few seconds so iTunes properly recognizes the file. Make sure that it is listed under the genre "Audiobooks" - if that genre is not available, pick custom and create it. Right-click the file and pick info, then options and make sure that the buttons for replaying from last position and skipping during mix play are selected. Re-synch and it should show up on your iPod under Music->Audiobooks.
    Books that you import from CDs have to be manually configured to show up as Audiobooks - again, details can be found by searching these forums."

  • Album song order changes when imported or burned to CD

    I hope someone can help
    When I buy a song the order of these songs is changed once it is in my library, and it is displayed backwards for instance if there are twelve songs number 1 will become 12 and so forth.
    The same happens when I make a back up copy of whatever i bought
    What am I doing wrong?

    More background. When I export my iTunes library to an xml file, and view the file in a text editor, I see that the tracks that appear in the wrong order on the iPod are in the correct order in the xml file, with the correct track numbers. On the way to the iPod, something weird happens.
    Would be great if someone could take a shot at this.

  • Detail not appearing when syncing

    For some reason, all I get when I try to sync my iPhone or iPad to iTunes is a summary tab... no other detail appears. I never had a problem before, and no new versions of anything have been added to my machine or my iPhone or iPad.
    Looks like my device backup are gone from the Preferences panel, too!
    I'm using OS X Mavericks 9.1 (I select that in the pop-up menu but the system overwrites it for some reason).

    Thank you to the Apple support people who forwarded some troubleshooting articles to me. I had read all those articles before I posted this message.
    The articles seem refer to cases where the device is not showing up in iTunes. My devices do show up, they just don't seem to be recognized as the same devices the iTunes has been syncing with over the past year. The sync option is dimmed for some reason.

  • HT201317 Album Photo Order Changes when Posted to Photostream

    Okay, I really liked the old iWeb app.  When I built albums the order in the album remained the same when posted to a web page. 
    Am I missing something?  Why does Photostream put photos back into number/date order?  Can this be overridden?
    Thanks!

    The order is probably alpha-numeric, based on the File Name of the photos. iPhoto allows you to change the photo's title, but to change the file name you must export a copy outside of iPhoto.
    Select your album. Then export to a desktop folder, with "use album name" checked. If your album is named "Winter" then the photos will be names "Winter 01," "Winter 02," etc. Your order should be preserved.
    If your photo titles are important, you could pad the beginning of each title with a numeral. Then export with "use title" checked, and the file name will become the photo's title.
