Contacts and Caendar won't sync - how to turn off "over the air" syncing?

I have an 2nd gen 8GB Touch, a Macbook and use iTunes 8.0.1. I do not have Wi-Fi at home. I also have a dot-Mac (or Mobile Me, I guess) account.
When I first got the Touch, I opted in the iTunes Info section to sync both calendar and contacts, and everything came over fine. However, all of that somehow disappeared, and no amount of re-syncing will help. Now, my Info tab indicates that my contacts and calendars are being synced with my iPod over the air - I do not have the option of checking any boxes there. I have tried every permutation of settings in the iPod, but this doesn't change anything. I also cannot find any helpful help screens anywhere (including on this forum, where I have already searched).
Could someone please advise me how I can regain the checkboxes so my contacts and calendar information syncs when I connect to the Macbook and use iTunes to sync everything else (photos, music and movies all work fine).
TIA

This sounds like a MobileMe problem; or, rather, the solution will be found there. Try this page:

  • How can I turn off over the air sync settings on my Mac iPhone

    Hi,
    For some reason I am attempting to sync my iPhone with my laptop as usual but now in the iTunes app when I attach my iPhone and go to Info, it reads: Your contacts are being synced with your iPhone over the air from MobileMe. Over the air sync settings can be changed on your iPhone. So here is the thing, I have looked online and have found nothing at all to show me how to do this on my iPhone. I want to be able to add info on my iPhone and then connect it with my laptop and sync it immediately with my laptop and also to add info on my laptop and immediately sync it with my iPhone. Please help. Thanks

    On your iPhone go to Settings - Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Then select your MobileMe account. Turn off the items you don't want synced over the air.

  • I recently did a "over the air" sync with my notes to my email account and when i did i didnt get back all my notes, could the other notes be in another location?

    Go to Settings>iCloud and set up the iCloud account you were using before by singing in with the same Apple ID.  Then turn the data you were syncing with your iCloud account back to On, and if prompted, choose merge.

  • Over the air sync can be changed on your iPhone

    iTunes says that "Your contacts are being synced with your iPhone over the air from MobileMe.
    Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on your iPhone".
    How do I change that so I can sync my contacts with Windows Contacts? When I tried to sync with MobileMe I lost all of my contacts and I want to get them back on my iPhone.

    Hi,
    I did the same thing deleted my email account and recreated it, went with the same settings and same issues.
    I certainly am not a Mac or iPhone expert, but I can tell you what happened to me then. I obviously had the same issue with "over air sync can be changed on your iphone" and my contacts had been wiped out. I was concerned as I had lost all my contacts off the iphone however my mobileme account had all of the contacts there. I found that all I had to do was give it some time to really sync between mobileme and the iphone contacts. I was being too impatient expecting them to appear instantly once I agreed to the sync with mobileme. I left it for a few hours and the contacts finally syncd.
    Hope this helps

  • Over-the-air sync settings

    iTunes says that bookmarks are being synced with my iPhone over the air from MobileMe. I only have MobileMe for my computer and not for my phone. Would this be the reason that I cannot find the over-the-air sync settings on my phone and also why they do not match the bookmarks that I have set on my computer? If that is the case, how can I manually set the bookmarks on my phone to match?

    I only have MobileMe for my computer and not for my phone.
    If you have MobileMe, it is for any and all computers/devices that you have set it up for.
    Have you enabled Bookmark syncing in:
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > {Your MobileMe Account Name} > Bookmarks

  • Someone else's Notes appearing on my iPhone. I'm using version 5.0.1. I assume there is some type of over-the-air sync problem happening?

    Doing a restore will more than likely resolve the problem. Plug the phone into iTunes, select your phone under DEVICES, and press Restore. This will restore your phone to factory settings. Now, after the restore is complete, you have two options:
    1) Restore from Backup
    This will let you restore all of the content you had on your phone but may also restore the other person's notes and their ability to sync notes to your phone.
    2) Set Up as New iPhone
    Your data will not be restored, but you can always sync content back later as long as it is in iTunes. On the positive side, this would positively remove any setting that would allow someone else's notes to appear on your phone.
    You will be presented with these two options after the restore. I recommend restoring from a backup first so you won't lose your data, but if it doesn't solve the problem, proceed to restore as a new phone.

  • Will iPhone EVER support over the air sync of subscription calendars?

    Anyone know if there are any plans to allow for over the air sync of subscription calendars? I had hoped this would be covered in the 2.1 update.

    Since this is a user to user help forum only, no one here knows.
    If Apple has plans to incorporate this and is working on it, and someone here is privileged to such information, they would be under Apple's NDA (non-disclosure agreement) and aren't allowed to say until Apple makes an announcement or until the update that includes this is released.

  • Transfering over the air sync with an iPhone to a new computer

    I am in the process of switching over to a new PC running Windows Vista. Having installed outlook and itunes on this new PC, my iphone continues to sync Calendar and Contacts over-the-air successfully with my old PC but I can't get it to sync with my new PC. iTunes on the new PC informs me that calendar and contacts will sync over the air, but it doesn't work out on this new PC.
    I have tried reinstalling itunes, but the sync still does not work.
    Does anyone have any ideas what might be wrong with the set up on the new PC?
    Richard

    I'm guessing your MM sync is not set up properly for your new machine check the links

  • Over-the-air sync of iphone 4s with windows xp pc

    how do i sync my iphone calendar with a calendar on my windows xp pc over the air, that is without connecting by wire.

    Your husband's Android is almost certainly probably synching with a server somewhere, not with his desktop computer directly. If you have your calendar on some sort of server - iCloud, Google Calendar, Microsoft Exchange, or the like - then you also can sync your calendar from your iPhone.

  • Over the air sync fail

    I downloaded the sync setings from SE, i got the account. But everytime i start the sync, few minutes later it will state hat it failed because of communication error. I can access different sites no prob. The sync page in SE site listed every data as zero but has my latest sync date. Solution? using C905

    I suggest you first make sure that you are using the correct time and date settings in your phone. Also check that you time zone is correct.
    If problem remains check that the sync account in the phone is set to connect with the correct Internet settings account. Go to the sync account and select options and edit.
    Let me know if some of this might help.

    You are reading the normal sort of rubbish that flat earthers produce against every new technology.
    I don't want to start a new thread about this.. but wifi produces so little signal when it is transmitting that cosmic rays will far exceed your exposure.. so are you going to go and live in a cave??
    The signal from the TC when there is no actual data transfer is merely polling. It will do you no harm.. nor will full 100% transmission.. except in the flat earthers view.
