Contacts & Calendars not updating

Any additions or changes I make in these areas are not updating on the iPod. I am doing this through iTunes. In one case, I deleted a contact and re-entered that person with the new phone number which was the only new item. Still won't update. When I sync the Pod, iTunes does say "updating calendars and contacts" but no go. Thanks for any help.

You ran a defective third-party "utility" such as "CleanMyMac" or "MacCleanse" that purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system and many applications.
The first thing you need to do is remove that software according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below. If you use any iWork applications, you may need to delete them and redownload them from the App Store.
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon, usually with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

Outlook exchange contact calendar not updating on iPhone 5

Any ideas why my iphone 5 has suddenly stopped updating and syncing with my outlook exchange server? Interesting the contacts are syncing perfectly between my Mac at home and my Exchange server at work, but neither is communicating with the iphone contacts or calendar.
Thanks.

I have the same problem since IOS 8.0.2 on an IPHONE 5 , my Exchange account updates fine on Email, as do other Email services. But the Calendar does not, I've also tried Push or Fetch but it does not seem to matter. Gmail Calendar does not have the same problem and updates fine.
My alternative is, within Calendar select "CALENDARS" (botom center), with al options checked , pull the screen down for a refresh and missing Exchange Appointments will apear.
I hope a permanent solution will be available soon though.

Gmail contacts/calendar/notes not updating to phone

Hi, my iphone 4 was replaced yesterday. I'm now trying to set up my contacts from Gmail. I know how to do this but it just hangs. Mail has uploaded fine but not the contacts, calendar or notes. I've tried to do this individually, hence how I know email is working, but the contacts/calendars/notes don't seem to want to play nice. Please help.

If you want the calendar entries that you create on the phone to sync with the gmail, you need to create the entry in the gmail calendar on the phone. If you create it in the phone calendar, it is only on the phone.
Usually at the very top of the new event entry you have a choice of which calendar to create this event in. Either Phone, gmail or any other option you have synced to your phone. To get it to sync to the gmail calendar you need to select the gmail calender.

How to export contacts, calendar, notes from outlook 2013 for mac to out 2013 PC

I have been unsucessful with syncing my iPhone5 and iPad Air (both are iOS7). My MS Outllok 2013 is installed on my iMac (Maverick). My iMac is dualt booted with Windows 7 and Maverick operating systems.
I visited my local Apple store and was told that I would need to export my contacts, calendar, notes etc to a thumb drive and import to my Windows-based MS Office 2013. Well, I tried to do that but discovered when you go to export on the Mac side and option to export to .csv is not an option. The one an only option is ".olm"
How do I accomplish exporting my contacts, calendar, notes to a thumb drive and is able to import on the PC side? Not to fond of the fact that I have a brand new iMac and is unable to sync my iphone and iPad Air. This *****!!

Well, there actually is... syncing through Link to Outlook is one way.
The way I described is easier.

My yahoo contacts are not updating on my iphone

for the last several weeks, changes i have made to my yahoo contacts are not updating on my iphone. any idea why this may be?

That was the first thing I checked, but it wasn't the problem. A few days later the same thing happened to her daughter's 3gs. I don't know if the problem is on Yahoo's end or on apple's. For the time being, I turned off yahoo contact syncing and told her to put her contacts in manually.

Calendars not updating since getting iphone5

My calendars not updating since getting iphone5
Used to work OK before I upgraded, but I can't see why it's not happening.
Other device is my wifes ipad and iphone

First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

When the phone is connected to the computer in iTunes, go to the Info tab and select Outlook as the source for Contacts and Calendars. Tasks will not sync, but Notes can be selected to sync as well.

Multi ID's want to share contacts, calendar & notes, but need individual ID's for others

Family has multiple iOS and OSX devices all sharing a common Apple ID for iTunes, and we have individual ID's for Message and FaceTime. We all want to share contacts, calendars, notes, reminders and the Find My device feature via Cloud, but found that when we use the shared iTunes ID we all show up as the same person in Air Drop (and possibly other apps too). Is there a way to individualize the devices without loosing the ability to share the desired info? I've searched with no luck. Thank you!

If she created her own iCloud account by going to System Preferences>iCloud on her Mac and signing in with her Apple ID, you could privately share your calendars with each other with read and write access as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a9479.
Contacts would be more difficult to share. To access your contacts, she would need to sign into your account and enable contact syncing. However, when she does this, her conacts would be merged with yours. A better solution would probably be to create a Gmail account, import your contacts to the account, and have her add the Gmail account to her Mac and enable contact syncing. This would isolate just the contacts and would not merge hers with yours. If you want to do this, you would need to download your iCloud contacts as a vCard (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606), import the vCard to Gmail (https://support.google.com/mail/answer/183711?hl=en), then add the Gmail account to her Mac in System Preferences>Internet Accounts (Mail,Contacts,Calendars)>Add Account>Google, then check Contacts.

Notes, contacts, and calendar not updating properly on iPad.

I have a first and third generation iPad and a 5S iPhone And using iCloud to maintain calendars, notes, and contacts.
Updates to calendar from iPhone displays on the first gen iPad, but not the newer gen iPad. Notes that I try to update using the newer gen iPad creates a new file with the same name. Contacts work fine between the first gen iPad and the iPhone, not the newer gen iPad.
iPhone one and third gen iPad have up to date operating system software installed.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I meant to say there is not longer an option. I started saying that their contacts are not showing on the phone in groups.

IPhone Contacts & Calendars not syncing with mobileme

Apologies if there is a solution to this posted already, I can't find it despite extensive searching!
My iPhone Calendars & Contacts do not sync with MobileMe. I can't find a way of exporting or saving the data on the iPhone and importing it into my desktop iCal & Contacts apps.
I have looked at all troubleshooting help I can find, and all is suggested is deleting/ resetting the phone & syncing from MobileMe. However, if I do this I will lose lots of contacts & calendar entries.
The data will NOT sync from my phone despite following all available instructions. My desktop apps are all set to sync with MobileMe & this works fine, it's just the iPhone data will not transfer to MobileMe.
Please help!!

Since you are syncing your iPhone with your Mac, it should be syncing your contacts and calendars with your Mac as well (and your bookmarks if you have it set up to sync). You should have Mobile Me setup on your Mac to at least sync your Calendars and Contacts, which should be updating your Mobile Me account. If you want to check to make sure that all of your contacts that are on your iPhone are on your Mac, simply open up the Contacts App. Once you check this, add your Mobile Me account to your iPhone and let it sync your contacts and calendars, it will delete all the contacts and calendars that are currently on your iPhone, but the same data is on your Mac anyways. Once Mobile Me syncs with your iPhone you won't have to worry about it anymore.
If you are having problems where you already setup your Mobile Me account on your iPhone and it's not syncing properly, deleted it, restart your iPhone, then add it again.
Does this help?

Calendar not updating in Outlook 2010 but updating on OWA (Ex 2010 with Outlook 2010)

Hi,
A few users are having this problem including me. There is a room Calendar which was working fine but not anymore. Here what is happening:
User A cannot see the updates in Calendar, if someone has meeting user A cannot see it. User A can only see by visiting OWA
User A create meeting in Room A via OUtlook. User A can see this but not other users. When visit OWA, User A cannot see that meeting.
User A creates meeting in Room A via owa. Everyone can see it.
User A sets outlook in ONLINE mode and now he can see all the updates
So something is going wrong with outlook cache mode that it is not updating calendar or not connecting with calendar. Tried different fixes from internet but not working. Tried to rebuild outlook profile but that works once, but if there is update the same
problem happens again.
Hasan

Hi Hasan,
Since the issue only happens in Outlook cached mode, please check whether “Download Shared folders” is checked in Outlook settings:
1. Click Account Settings on the File tab.
2. In the Account Settings dialog box, click the
Email tab, click to select the Exchange account, and then click
Change.
3. Click More Settings. On the Advanced tab, check the
Use Cached Exchange Mode and Download Shared Folders check box to have a try, and then click
OK.
4. Finish it and restart Outlook.
Then check whether the calendar can be updated in Outlook.

Contact photo not updating widget

Hello...heres the short version:
I have a widget of a contact...and my contacts are sync'ing with Facebook...When my contact updates their photo on Facebook; my Contact App updates; but my widget does not.
Heres the longer version:
Okay I know there are two ways to create a widget/contact. For instance....lets say you have a Contact named John Smith...lets say you talk to him more than anyone so you want a Fast Shortcut....and John Smith has a full fledged Facebook Profile. John Smith has his name, phone numbers, address, and more. So you want a quick and easy way to get access to John Smith; right?
Theres two ways to create this shortcut on one of your homescreens....The first option I'm sure everyone will do is to hold down on part of your screen and choose 'add widget'...as you scroll thru you will come across a 'Contact' widget...its a 1x1 size...which is the size of any app on your homescreen...so you click it and drag it to a space on your homescreen. Next it will bring up your full conact list...here you will scroll down and select John Smith. John Smith now appears on your homescreen pages. Click the "icon" and you have quick access to Name/Phone Numbers/Address/Facebook/and Maybe More
Now lets say John Smith updates his photo on Facebook, you know this cause you just launched Facebook an hour ago....so you go into your Contact List...and you're like "hmmm no updated photo"...so you go into your Settings>Accounts>Facebook>And you see the last time it sync'd with your phone...which was 1 day ago...you're thinking "okay no biggie theres a 'sync now' option" Voila.....Your Contact App now reflects his updated photo....so you back out of your Contacts or you Click your Home Button and you see that..........yep....his photo didnt update. So you remove the battery...you reboot device....,and no go.
Now you could just remove this shortcut and re add it but what if you were accustomed to previous cell phones that automatically updated the photo? This is where I am landing...I'm here asking if the Galaxy S4 has this feature?
Ahhh dont forget theres another option to go by......
So remember I said the common way of adding the shortcut was going thru Widgets? Well theres 1 more way of adding a contact to your home screen....and that is...going into your contacts...find the one you want...John Smith...Hold down on the screen til a menu appears and if you scroll to bottom (Galaxy S4) theres an option that says "Add shortcut to Home Screen". And voila...theres John Smith on your homescreen...His photo is the Icon/App that again you have easy/quick access to all the numbers he published...his Map (Address) and a quick link to Facebook + others if he has it....
But again when John Smith updates his Facebook Profile pic....and you know cause you just exited it...You re sync' under Settings and again while it reflected on your Contact App...it still didnt affect your Shortcut!
So my previous Cell phone was a Motorola Droid Razr (1st Edition)....my droid razr did have that feature...when someone changed their profile pic it would reflect the widget too.
The Galaxy S4 (for me) doesnt do that....my Contact Photo still changes when I manually perform a Sync and it shows up in the Contact App, but it doenst reflect the Widget....is this natural for Samsung? Or is my Device not working correctly?
Thanks

Heres an update:
Okay whether you use the Widget to add a contact to your homescreen
Or you go into contacts; find your contact and hold down to select menu that says "add shortcut"
Either way....if they have a photo it will product a photo icon on your homescreen.
Everyone knows this....however what I did find out is that when a person has a Facebook linked with that contact and they update a photo; when you click that Shortcut their updated photo will appear in that small window of theirs...however it wont update your shortcut you created....does that make sense?
As to why? I dont know
