Contact Download & Sync Problems

I've had my Z10 for about 5 months now and whilst I love the funcionatlity of the phone there are a couple of issues that are really frustrating me. When I first got the phone I moved all my contacts onto it from my Mac (~1200 contacts) which were all pretty well organised with no duplicates etc. Despite opting for contact details from the likes of Gmail, Facebook and LinkedIn not to be synced with my contacts, my phone did this anyway which made things a little messy but still bearable. I have continually tried to sync my contacts on my phone with either my Macbook Pro or PC (Outlook 2007) to account for new or updated contacts and the outcome is absolutely awful. I have kept all necessary OS and software versions up to date as best possible but still get poor results.
Ultimately all I want to do now is download all the various contacts from my Z10 onto either piece of hardware so I can sort them out and then re-transfer them. It seems a distant dream to then think that I will be able to sync them from then on as from my experience Link looks pretty but is useless.
Can you please offer any advice to download my contacts to my PC or Laptop? Preferable without third party apps etc.
Many thanks in advance. (OS = Version 10.2.1.2141; Link = Version 1.2.2.13)

Sorry, no. You'll need a third party app ON the Z10, such as FireChest or InTouch Contacts. One will create a generic CSV file which you can then easily import to most any spreadsheet... FireChest I think will create VCF contact files, also easily imported to a contact on your Mac.

FIX FOR OUTLOOK CONTACT - CALENDAR SYNC PROBLEMS

OK Guys. I have figured out the problem with Itunes not syncing the OUTLOOK CONTACTS & CALENDAR EVENT PROBLEM (For those who have this problem). So without further due....
1) Go to Outlook/Tools/Option/Others/Advanced Options/ADDIN MANAGER
2) Remove the check box in front of "OR Stuffit OL Extention" and click OK
3)Go to COMS ADD IN and you should now be able to CHECK MARK the OUTLOOK ITUNES SYNC ADDIN.
Click OK all the way back to OutLook AND SYNC.
If it worked for you, kindly leave me good feedback. Happy 4th everyone.

Viber Contacts and Contacts App Sync Problems

Problem:
I see all the contacts only in Viber contact list, but do not see them in my contacts app
Question:
How to make all contacts from Viber contact list appear in contacts app?
How do I sync or what do I do, so my dad has his contacts back?
Me (iPad) and my dad (iPhone 5s) are using the same apple ID, (but we live in different countries), recently all of the contacts from his phone has been transferred to my device. This has never happened before, so I decided he just pressed something that has synced our devices.
About 1500 of his phone contacts has been added to my contacts - after I deleted them, they were also deleted from his phone. I tried to backup from iCloud (the last restore was 2 days ago, while I still had his contacts), but it did nothing - I still had only my contacts. Then I restored backup from my macbook and the contacts appeared, all of his and mine, but the problem is that they appeared only in Viber and none of them appeared in Contacts App. I tried syncing again with iTunes and iCloud, but got the same old contacts without his, so I had to restore backup again.

UPD: I've put contacts back to contact book by going into vibe settings and choosing which contacts to show.
But the sync problem still persists: If I connect to wi-fi or computer it syncs and Im getting my old contacts, not contacts from both devices
How do I import all, new list of contacts back into iCloud?

Help: contacts won't download/sync from Mobile Me to iPhone?

My new iPhone won't download old contacts from MobileMe. It will sync any new contacts or calendar event I add to either the iPhone or Mobile Me, but not the existing ones.
Basically, I bought my first iPhone a couple of days ago. I just followed the prompts and ended up sync'ing it with gmail as well as pulling all the contacts off my old SIM and phone. But I ended up with lots of duplicate contacts. So I set up a Mobile Me account and uploaded all the contacts from the iPhone, no problems. Then I cleaned up all my contacts on Mobile Me, got rid of duplicates etc.
Then I reset my iPhone to clear all data so I could start afresh (I've only had it a day or two so there wasn't much to lose). I thought I would be able to easily pull all the nice, clean contacts down from the cloud. But the only contacts that will sync are new ones, not the old ones.
If I add a contact on Mobile Me, it downloads to the iPhone. If I add a new contact on the iPhone, it uploads to Mobile Me. But the hundreds of old contacts I have amassed over many years and many different mobile phones are stuck in the cloud and won't come down!
All these contacts only ended up on Mobile Me after being sent from my iPhone, so not sure why it won't take them back.
I'm on a PC. I have sync'd the iPhone with iTunes since I reset it. And I have downloaded the latest version of the iPhone OS since I reset the phone. I have tried turning off all sync'ing and then turning it on again - the iPhone asked if I wanted to merge data, I said yes, but it didn't download any of the old contacts.
Obviously sync works, but why won't it get my old contacts?!
The only thing I haven't tried is resetting all sync data - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1497. However, how can I back up my Mobile Me data before I erase it? I didn't think my Mobile Me contacts would sync with a PC?

Turn off contacts in MobileMe on the iPhone and choose keep contacts on the iPhone
Connect iPhone to iTunes and enable sync contacts to Windows Address Book or Outlook 2003 or higher. Now there should be a copy of the contact on the computer.
Make sure you have installed and configured the MobileMe control panel on your computer. And set it up to sync contacts. Choose the best copy(Cloud or Computer)for the initial sync(can be from Cloud to computer or computer to cloud).
http://www.apple.com/mobileme/setup/
Once the computer and Cloud have the correct info then slide contacts back to on within the Mail Contacts Calendars on the iPhone and choose replace iPhone with info from the Cloud.
Uncheck Sync Contact with computer within iTunes on Info tab(if you do not then you will get duplicates).

Ipod contacts sync problem

When the first time I sync my outlook express contacts to my ipod, there is no problem. After I added some contacts and try to sync, update to my ipod, I found that it add the whole contact again plus the new one and also some contacts ( in outlook express) I had deleted many years ago. Now my contacts in the ipod look some funny(2 or 3 pages with the same person).
Is anyone has any idea what's wrong and can I delete the whole contacts and sync the updated one again?
Thanks,

Not sure if I need to post my question as a separate entry, but let me first try here since this topic came up.
I have set up iTune to sync my Outlook calendar and contacts, with "replace items on iPod with Outlook" option checked. When I connect my iPod, the status bar says it is syncing with Calendar and Contacts. But nothing is changed if I open my contacts/calendar on my iPod. Any idea?

HT1923 I downloaded Itunes and keep getting a runtime error R6034 and was told to contact Itunes about problem/

I downloaded Itunes and keep getting a runtime error R6034 and was told to contact Itunes about problem/

First try updating to iTunes 11.1.5.5, using an installer downloaded from the Apple website:

Contact sync problem in Link.

I am facing 2 problems while syncing contacts with Blackberry Link -
When there are sync conflicts, the small window that appears listing all the conflicts is unresponsive and the scroll bars in it don't function. The information is not completely visible.
I have multiple contacts with more than 1 mobile number(more than 1 phone number, and all of them have the same field 'Mobile'). When I sync these with Outlook, it seems to save only one of these numbers. I came to know that the numbers were permanently lost when I exported my Outlook contacts as .vcf files to my old Nokia s40 phone.
I realise that the second issue is not associated with Link, but that leaves me with no way to preserve my phonebook except using some contacts exporting app from Blackberry World to export my phonebook as a single .vcf file, which again is not supported by Outlook(it seems to import only the first contact from the .vcf file).
Please suggest me some way to batch-export my contacts as separate .vcf files.
I found out recently that Samsung Kies supports .vcf files with multiple contacts, but it also shows only one out of 2 or 3 mobile numbers. Also, there is no way in it to batch-export the contacts, and I cannot export 785 contacts one-by-one.

Hi,
same problem here: iPhone does not sync contacts any more, either way. I've searched Discussions, reinstalled iTunes after having deleted prefs and cache, reinitialised iSync history, restaured iPhone to factory setting, unlocked again with Ziphone 3.0, checked New phone in iTunes, nothing nothing nothing: no contacts were transferred from my Mac to the iPhone. I've tried to back up and erase my Addressbook: useless. I've tried adding a single contact. not synced. I've checked, and I don't have any particular custom filed on my Addressbook. I've noticed that on iTunes the contacts groups that I have on my AB, are not seen and checkable on the INFO tab, sync contacts section. It's like iTunes and AddressBook are not "communicating".
I can't believe such a vital function cannot work! and I have no clue what do to, since I refuse to reinstall Leopard for such an issue, too much of an hassle!
Please, help!

.mac iCloud address causing 'contacts' syncing problems

Hello,
This may have already been addressed here, but if not hopefully this may be helpful. I have been having many issues syncing contacts to my iPad Air. The correct contacts are on my Macbook, my iCloud account, and on my iPhone, however they were not syncing correctly to my iPad. I tried all the usual fixes, i.e. turning iCloud off on my iPad, signing out of iCloud on my iPad and singing back in, etc... to no avail. Everything BUT contacts was syncing between all my devices.
That is when I noticed that all my devices under settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars->Accounts listed an 'iCloud' account for mail, contacts, calendars, Safari. However, my iPad Air listed a .MAC address for these. If I tried to add an iCloud account, it would say that an iCloud account has already been added to your iPad. Once I deleted the .Mac account and choose to erase all the information on my iPad, I was able to add a iCloud account back to my iPad. The account now shows up as an 'iCloud' account and not a '.Mac' account. Problem solved. Hope this helps anyone having this issue.
Billy

Did you change it on both phones? If you are syncing contacts with separate iCloud accounts on both phones, then the only way I can think of that your contacts would be linked is by syncing them both with another external sources, such as an exchange account. Setting iCloud as the default account for contacts on both phones would cause new contacts to be created in iCloud, and since your iCloud accounts are different on each phone, I don't see how contacts added to the iCloud account on one phone would be seen on the other.
You may need to go to icloud.com and confirm that new contacts added to each phone are added to your separate iCloud accounts, just to confirm that the change to settings is working properly.

Audio sync problem downloading VHS-C

I've downloaded a straight VHS tape (with no audio sync problems) into final cut pro once I had changed the Camera setting to 32Khz and the capture and sequeence presets to 32khz as well (it was all aout of sync when the settings were 48Khz).
The problem now, which is driving me MAD, is I have 13 hours of VHS-C tapes, which I have put into a VHS cassette converter to download and the audio is out of sync. The capture presets are the same as above (i.e. 32KHZ) . Why is this? I downloaded them initially at 48Khz (settings on the camera 48Khz and FCP at 48Khz in capture and sequence settings), but this was also out of sync.
Why is it different from one VHS tape to a VHS-C tape?
I hope there is a God out there that can help with this one?
Thanks!

Eagleray:
I capture through a ADVC-100.
I use to find the same problem playing VHS tapes with a standard VHS player from time to time and never solved it. The out of sync audio appears when capturing some specific tapes from specific sources:
- All my home tapes recorded in my old VHS recorder shows a audio problem; not specifically out of sync, but some audio "cracks" from time to time, like an electronic noise. No way to find a capture setings that works.
- Some customers VHS tapes that showed the out of sync (no noises) and again, no combination of digitalizer settings made it works. Had to resync the audio editing and stretching in an external audio editor or cutting shorts parts and syncing them with video. The our of sync appears in small captured portions, like 10 min or so.
- Never found a sync or audio problem capturing from VHC-C (the small VHS tapes) playing them with the tape adapter in the player.
I google long hours about this problems and all that I learned is that some old VHS recorders had not a "synchro" signal in the tape.
As I told you, I don't use any pro VHS deck, just my consumer "state of the art" VHS home recorder.
I hope there is a God out there that can help with this one?
I don't think HE visit these forums.

Still Having Outlook 03 Contact Sync Problems

OK first the baseline information.
Systems:
iPhone 3G 2.0 software
iTunes 7.7
Windows XP Version 2002 Service Pack 2
Outlook 2003 Service Pack 3 (Office Professional)
Other Considerations:
Always connected to Exchange server when trying to sync.
Contacts folder only exists on Exchange server (i.e. nothing in local .pst)
Have deleted the offline file (.ost) and had Outlook recreate.
Do not have and other "INFO" in iTunes selected to sync except Contacts (i.e. no calendar).
Issue:
Sync starts but just goes on forever until I get the error message that the Outlooksyncclient.exe has failed. No contacts are sync'ed. I have been using and syncing my iTouch for a year now and have had no problems. Now the iTouch will not sync too (same problem). I tried to sync my bookmarks from IE and this was also hanging until I (in the middle of the iTunes syncing process) when to the task manager and killed the Outlooksyncclient.exe program. After I did this, the syncing continued with the bookmarks being successfully sync. Of course, not the Contacts.
I have reset the sync history and this has done nothing. I'm at my wits end on this problem. I am concern about uninstalling iTunes because I have over 300 full CD's loaded and I can't afford the time to reload all of them again. This clearly can not be the problem associated with recurring calendar items, since I am not trying to sync the calendar at all. I have not tried to put any other sync'ed information on the iPhone other than the Contacts and Bookmarks. But not having my contacts (and in the future my calendar) is a big issue.
One other possible consideration is the fact that I have the e-mail on the iPhone set up to pull messages from my AT&T web based Worldnet account. This has been working fine, but I don't know if that would impact the Outlooksyncclient.exe program. I do not have an Exchange e-mail account defined because my companies Exchange servers are not set up to operate and exchange information to these types of devices (don't think this matters, but figure I would mention it).
I would really appreciate any direction/help on this issue. Syncing my contacts is critical to having my iPhone useful. I have already entered 80+ entries into its contact list, but this is not a sustainable approach.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Ernie

BTW, no other 3rd party software loaded, and I've double checked the Outlook e-mail COM Add-Ins and Add-In Manager to confirm this.

Contact Birthday Date Sync Problem N9

I have a Nokia N9.
I sync calendar and contacts with my Google Account via the MfE account on my N9.
The Calendar entries work correctly.
However, the Birthday and Anniversary date entries for my contacts mis-sync by one calendar day.
For example, if a contact has a birthday on 10th November in my Google contacts, it displays as 11th November in my N9 Contacts list. Interestingly, if you 'click on' the birthday field from the Contacts entry, it will take you to the 10th November in the Calendar (that is, the correct date!).
The time zone in both Google and the phone are correct and set the same (Syd/Mel, GMT +11). The formats are the same (24hr Clock etc). There are no alarms set as reminders in either Google or the phone.
Anybody know how to make the phone sync the dates correctly? Thanks

I’ve had another look at this.
I was wrong about the birthday in the contact taking you to the most recent one; not sure what I did but it was finger trouble.
Unfortunately, it has just reiterated the original problem.
For example, there is a contact in my list with a birthdate of 3rd December, 1958.
The Birthday field in Google Contacts shows 3rd December 1958.
The Birthday field in N9 Contacts shows 4th December 1958.
When you open the Contact page to edit the individual fields and tap on the Birthday field, it takes you to December 1958 and highlights .... the 3rd!!
I clicked on the 3rd and then saved the changes to the Contact Birthday field in the N9 and it still showed the 4th.
I have had auto time update ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’ and I have changed the time zone in my phone from GMT+11 in increments to GMT-4 and nothing changes in the Birthday field.
It looks like the error lies in the birthday coding.
Nokia?????
