-contact sync not working correctly

Frustrated w/my i4. spent 4 hrs w/verizon and 1 1/2 @ apple store. still issues. my contacts denote contact duplication (some, not all, have duplicated 3 times). Also, experienced lost contacts (my kids, some biz associates).
Apple conducted hard reset...and when I plugged in, there was an error message...and then the contact duplication.
NOW...the mobilme has an error "contacts could not be synced due to inconsistent data. (says to go to the Preferences to confirm. not much to confirm as it only asks for order (last or first name sort) and phone numbers (will format automatically).

Hello and welcome....

I think that message is referring to System Preferences on your Mac. (Applications/System Preferences). Make sure have the boxes checked for the items you want synced and select the box next to: Synchronize with MobileMe.

Try resetting sync data.
Open System Preferences then select the Sync tab. Then click the Advanced tab.

Restart your Mac and your iPhone.

Group contacts did not work correctly since IOS 6

Hi Guys,
since update from IOS 5.1.1 to IOS 6.0 it isn't possible to show groups in Contact seperatly.
Neither on my IPHONE 4 and now on my IPHONE 5.
In IOS 5.x.x it was possible to list seperate groups.
I tried this with my ICLOUD Account and also with my GMAIL Account.
I need to have different group lists for my work - e.g "Private", "Work", ...
In IOS 5.x.x it was possible to list the contact folder, than click on "groups" and there it was possible to select the group i wanted.
Than I've only seen the contacts from the selected group.
Now since update to IOS 6 it doesen't work like this. There is only the opportunity to mark or unmark a contact group to list it seperately.
Can You explain how this is going to work on IOS6 ??
Or do You know an application to group contacts seperatly.
I set up my GMAIL Account as "Exchange Account" to see the contact groups.
It's nessecary that it syncronises correctly with my GMAIL Account, because I also use an IPAD.
I've over 250 contacts, so it has to work correctly.
I can't understand, why apple removed this feature in IOS 6.
I hope you know what I mean.
Very nice greetings
Roland

Do you really have them all? I created a group I wanted and synced the phone. Now my phone contacts has 2 groups, all contacts and phone contacts. However, when I scroll to the bottom of the contacts list, both show the same 164 contacts, not all the 470 contacts in my address book. I have just the contacts I wanted, but it is confusing by having the "all contacts" list on the phone. They are really just the same lists.

A7000-a Google contact sync not working (S142)

I have already mentioned this in other discussion thread but was never got noticed by lenovo staff. So once again for your kind infirmation I am explaining about this issue. After the s142 update any new contact added under the Google account is not getting synced to google servers though in setting-> accounts-> google accounts its always showing synced recently but changes don't get updated on the server. This is another serious issue in s142 update. Pls don't let it unnoticed. My humble request to lenovo staff is to kindly look into this matter . At least acknowledge this issue. I don't know how else I can bring this issue to your notice. People will loose each and every contacts added after this update.
PS: Issue exist even after factory reset.

Contact sync not working OS X Server

hi!
I have a weired problem. I have a Mac Mini server at home serving mail calendar and contacts to users. One user, me, have a problem with syncing contacts on OS X. iOS work fine. I set up my account in System Setttings, Accounts as an OS X server account and everything seems OK. calendar, mail notes reminders and messages work just fine, but contacts show up empty?!?. I then just for fun set up a parallel carddav account in contacts.app for the same server, and that works?!! I cant see any difference between the 2 accounts. same server, same username and password.
I installed Round Cube webmail yesterday and it exhibits the same problem. no contact sync. If i create a new contact in Round Cube server addressbook, it shows up in iOS, but still not in the OS X server account on my mac. In my working parallel account it does show up. and sync between iOS and MAC both ways, but changes made outside of Round Cube does not show up in round cube.
Anyone else have this problem?

Nokia Suite 3.2.100 Contacts Sync not working on T...

Hello,
Just upgraded my Thunderbird to version 8.0 and contacts synching stop working with error code 83950003. It was working fine with TB 7.0.1.
Any timeline as to when a solution or fix is available.
Thank you very much

Hmmm,
Thunderbird sync of adressbooks is actually not supported from any other phone makers what I know.
Is there any other phone brands that support sync of Thunderbird adressbooks?
Well I have used Thunderbird during a lot of years on some computers and Nokia has been the only only one with support.
I think there is time to understand that Thunderbird is only good as an email client for example IMAP accounts and of course exchange accounts.
You people should really take a look at Microsoft Office 365 (USD 6 per month) http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/office365/online-software.aspx
if you syncing several computers and phones and don´t want problems with contacts, calender and perhaps even todo and notes.
Thunderbird is a mess when transfering accounts from a computer to another computer if not Imap and messages saved on server...l but I still like Thunderbird as an email client on computers for exchange accounts that is in-the air with backup by exchange.
I dont expect Nokia to continue supporting Thunerbird in the future as no one else does it....Not even Funambol does it..
Another thing, during the last few years there seem to be rather small development to get the Thunderbirds calender, notes to be a real choice...I think for example Zimbra (www.zimbra.com) is far better than thunderbird as a desktop email client and a half of dozen more...well just some thoughts from me.
I just think Thunderbird during the years always ends up messy and it is still half baked and will never mature...
PS1 When updating Thunderbird you should get a message if it is compatible so why update Thunderbird if Nokia hasn´t updated? DS
PS2 In Q1-2012 all Synbian will have Microsoft Mobile office for free, and that is among the best news for Symbian users in a long time DS
Nokia 808 again (delight Belle), Nokia E7 and X7 ( again, all on Delight Belle...after some time on Nokia Lumia 925 (retired), 1020 (not that great)and Lumia 820 (Replaced my router at home, great for internet sharing).., N9 The best device ever (use it as much as Lumia 1020), Nokia 700 (Sport Phone/My Love :-) ) Nokia 701, Nokia E6 (Should have a follow-up from Nokia among with larger screen, NFC, Autofocus), Lumia 800 (Retired After 6 weeks), -Sports Tracker-Nokia Internet Radio-Handy Safe-Skype-Bambuser-Screenshot app pro-fMobi-ComingNext-Manual TaskSwitcher-jagiTimer-Easy StopWatch-Boldbeast-Equalizer-Financial Calculator-WiMP Music-YTasks-Davi-Thumbnail Folders-BizCalendar-Tiny7-Situations-nn reeder-Sport Timer-CameraLover-CameraPro-GrabRadio-LiveScore-Poddi-Gravity-SkyFilesPro

Firefox sync not working correctly

I set up sync and used my favorite gmail address (sun-).
It seems I should have used the gmail address I set up my google/gmail account with ( allu-)
Now it seems I have sync on my computer, and my tablet, but I'm not sure. I know this sounds weird, but when I have sync set up on my computer, and I go to pair a device (my tablet) I have sync numbers in both my computer, and my tablet, and I am unable to erase the 3 boxes to add in numbers to either device.
I still would like to add my android phone, but I would like to fix this problem.
I guess what I would like to do is delete/uninstall my 'sync' account so I can start new with my google/gmail account (allu-).
I thought i did this, but the same thing came up, numbers in both sync set up pages on my computer, and tablet.
So maybe I have this entirely wrong, and I need to look at it from another perspective, but whatever reason, it is becoming frustrating because I need this, want this, and can't make it happen. So I would like, no need some help with this, so I can coordinate all my devices with Firefox.
I am thinking this is possible with what I read, but like I said I am definitely missing something, or I have made some mistake, that can't be fixed, because that is what I seem to have done. HELP

That seemed to work. I have not tried to sync my other devices yet, but I am hopeful.
It almost looks like you are saying the Aurora version 28 is a version to switch to, when it is released.
Will I be notified by Mozzila when this comes out?
I know I might be taking advantage of you with these questions, but it is hard to find good answers without spending lots of time searching here, there and everywhere, so to speak.
So one more question, how come my password saving has stopped. It worked in the past but as of late, it sporadically asked me if I want to say updated passwords, and then it doesn't. I have a few sites, that use to have there passwords saved, and now I get nothing, very frustrating.
So is there anything I can do to get my passwords back.
I have switched from Ice Dragon when that didn't do well with passwords, then tried Chrome, I liked that as well, but then I realized that wasn't doing as good as Firefox did for me, so now I am back to Firefox, and that is not working very well either
Thank you for what you do.................................

Contact 'Sync' not working. Am I doing something wrong?

I am completely new to iPhone, but willing to give it a shot before I call it quits. I was told if I activate my Gmail account, all contacts would sync onto the phone - which is not the case [or at least didn't work right for me]. That said, I searched on the web and in the iPhone Support Community for an answer and haven't found specifically what I am looking for. This is where I am at now:
I've exported my Gmail contacts to my MacBook's Address Book. I see all the contacts there from my Gmail account.
I've already gone into iTunes and plugged in my phone to Sync - choosing the contact options available, specifically related to my Gmail account. Again, not all contacts were synced.
I've also tried the Exchange Mail settings as suggested by Google's website, and that hasn't worked.
What am I doing wrong? Is there a way to Sync my MacBook's Address book to the iTunes folder so it will all Sync to my phone accordingly?
Can someone please help me? Thanks!

Album sync not working correct

Hello everybody,
i use the Photos app since the first Beta and i think that there is potential to be a good App. (IOS really needs the possibility to delete only the local picture an not the one in the include )
Now i updated to the new Yosemite and try to sync the pictures from iCloud. Everything works fine, except my albums.
My Albums are sorted like this:
- Cars
-- Car 1
-- Car 2
-People
-- People 1
-- People 2
-Meeting
-- Meeting 1
-- Meeting 2
- Events
-- Event 1
-- Event 2
On my iphone everything works fine. I See all picture an albums.
On Photos first everything was fine but suddenly after a restart all Albums were gone. I tried to sync them into a new library but all i got was maybe 1/3 of my albums like this:
- Cars
-- Car 1
-- Car 2
-People
-- People 1
-- People 2
All pictures are synced right...
It was the second time now that they gone and i really don't want to tag the faces and the Albums new all the time
hope somebody can help me...
Hope somebody can help
greets
Rigo
P.S. I have a backup library... maybe i can copy the album/faces files from there ?
EDIT:
The Photos.App shows that everything is up to date (Albums still not shown)
Message was edited by: DaReelRigo

Good luck. I had duplicate albums created also, but am also missing a lot of pictures which do not sync over to other devices or to the web based Photos. I have deleted the Photo library and forced it to import from iPhoto a second time, but the same pictures are missing and have even more duplicate albums. Fortunately I am not doing this with my primary photo library so I can just delete everything and go back to iPhoto.

Non iCloud contact sync not working with iPhone 4S and Microsoft Windows/Outlook

Trying to sync contacts without success! Have iPhone 4S and Microsoft Windows, not using iCloud. I've gone through the Info route and told it to sync but the data doesn't transfer. Any idea why?

what version of Outlook are you using. I know right now its not compatible with Outlook 2013.

Syncing not working correctly

For the past few days, my syncing has been on the fritz. It is not syncing really at all. It will only go through 4 steps instead of the 5 and when I purchased a new song (on my iphone 5 itself) it doesn't even show in my recently added, which I have never had a problem. I have tried deleting all the music off the phone, and even a hard reset and nothing seems to be working. Also, when it gets to step 4 (saving changes) it takes forever to finish. Any ideas?

Click on the video to select it, then choose File->export->make sure that "original file format" is selected and hit ok. After that your file should show up as IMG_xxxx.mov .

Aperture to iPhone sync not working correctly

When sync'ing photo's from Aperture to my iPhone 6+ , I have filters that work perfectly in Aperture, but I still end up with photo's I shouldn't have (should have been filtered out) sent to my iPhone.
is this a known bug?
How do I fix this?
Thanks,
Mark

Ignore what Apple have said about my iPhone. it's a 6+ with iOS8.

Custom contact ringtone not working correctly

Hi all! I have an iPhone 4 through Sprint. Yesterday I purchased a ringtone through iTunes on the phone, and assigned it to 1 contact. It shows as being assigned to that contact, however, when I get a call from that person, the default ringtone plays. I've since synced with iTunes on the computer, but I can't figure out why the assigned ringtone won't play. Can anyone help?

Does no one know how I can fix this?

Generic sync not work correctly

Hi,
We are trying to get the inbound container in Java application, we use the method
GetElementsWithFieldName(String) in the object InboundContainer, this method returns an array that has only one entry, but really the wrapper function in R3 returns 6500 entries.
Best regards.
Thanks all.
SCZ

hi Satur,
Is your Generic Sync Application Synchronous? you may find it in using the OutBoundContainer Type. if it is TYPE_OUTBOUND its asynchronous otherwise (TYPE_REQUEST) its synchronous. The same information can be found in MESYHEAD table entries too.
If it is Asynchrnous, then the MESYBODY Containers won't get deleted unless you sync from the client. if it is synchronous, it will disappear immediately.
I suggest your application be ASynchronous and check the same. If it still happens, there's some problem with your middleware. It is not taking the container as ASynchronous Processing. You'll have to go all over your Post-Installation Settings to check if all are right. (Tedious process indeed)
If it is synchrnous and your client is not receiving all the entries, the problem is with your receiver code handling. check your Process() method.
Regards
Ak.

The calendar sync is recently not working correctly, not display "All events" but it only displays the last six months for my individual entries. My repeating entires do go back further, though. How do I fix?

I have an iPad 5.1.1. The calendar sync has started to not work correctly. I have it checked "All events," but it only displays the last two months for my individual entries. My repeating entires do go back further, though. How do I fix?

HI Jason269. Thanks for your reply, however I wrote that I already have "All events" checked. If All Events is checked and it doesn't diaplay all events, how do I fix? It seems this is a common issue, as I have read many others on here state the same problem.
I believe my problem occurred when I synced my iMac calendar to my iPad calendar using yahoo. Yesterday, I unsynced them on my iMac controls. When I checked my iPad calendar, all of my old entries reappeared - but only for five seconds and disappeared again. So, the data is saved and still there but cannot be displayed, even when I have All events checked. In fact, it only shows my individual entries for the last two months, but does show all my recurring entries. If I switched to last six months, I will see everything for the last six months. If I switch back to all events, it is only for the last two months.
As I mentioned, others on here have expressed exactly the same issue, including the two month example and having used yahoo.
For legal purposes, I need to be able to use the information from my indidual calendar entries in an upcoming court case. So I really need to fix this ASAP!

1st Gen iPod touch not working correctly?

I have a 1st generation 8GB iPod Touch. It's not working correctly.
My biggest problem is that, unexplaiably, certain areas of the screen don't seem to register touch anymore. There is a sort of "L" shape on the left and bottom edges of the screen that won't register touch, making it impossible to move applications to the previous page on the home screen and making it hard to use the keyboard/buttons while in portrait mode. It's extremely frustrating to try to change the volume while playing a song, as I now have to either put the iPod in sleep mode then double tap the home button or flip it to cover flow and double tap the home button to do it.
http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e140/Vipershark/IMG_0001.png
(Highlight the image to see it better.)
This is a screenshot of the working/non-working areas that I made using the Whiteboard application. The white area that you see (excluding the little half circles of black which are extended brush strokes and not actually working areas) is the area that doesn't work. I can't seem to figure out why it happened, as I've never dropped or otherwise damaged it. It just happened one day, and I don't know why.
But I can't fix it. I've tried everything. Upgrading (I'm now running iPhone OS 3.0 which still didn't fix the problem.) didn't work, restoring didn't work, deleting everything and restoring from factory settings didn't work.
I'm also having a few other problems as well, though they're not as bad. My home button seems to stop working sometimes and sometimes the entire screen witll stop registering touch until I put the iPod to sleep and turn it back on. It also seems to go a lot slower than usual.
My iPod is less than a year old. Can you help?

Vipershark,
I had a very similar problem this past weekend with my 1G 8GB iPod touch. But with me, just the left side of the screen wasn't registering my touch. I could still access the bottom section, which you cannot.
The good news for me is that I fixed it and I hope it works for you as well. What fixed it for me was resetting all my settings. To do this, go to the settings icon, then click on general, and then on the very bottom is reset. Choose "reset all settings."
Apparently this is different than a restore through iTunes, which you tried. I also tried that earlier and it did not help.
Of course, the reset solution I used relies on you being able to access all of the correct buttons, so I hope you can!
Please let us know if this works for you. If not, since it is less than a year old, it is still under warranty. Contact Apple and see what they can do.
