Photo deleted on iPhone does not delete on Photos on iMac

Anyone know why this would happen?

Greetings Ivanvdm,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are using My Photo Stream and deleting a photo on the iPhone is not deleting it from the Mac. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
Delete photos from My Photo Stream - Apple Support
When you delete a photo from My Photo Stream on an iOS device, Mac, or PC, that photo will be deleted from the My Photo Stream view on all your devices after you connect each device to Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Mario

Why will my iphone 5 not delete pictures from camera roll. It comes up with the edit sign but no delete?

You have to tap Edit, then tap at least one photo before you get the delete button.

Contact disappeared from iPhone but not deleted from Address Book on sync

FYI, I have an iPhone 3G running iOS 4.2 (the latest), and I have never so much as thought about MobileMe.
Until two days ago, I have had no reason to doubt that my iPhone's Contact list is the same as my MacBook's Address Book list. I now have no confidence that the same info. exists in both: I know for sure that at least one contact long present in both has disappeared from the iPhone, yet syncing all contacts neither returns it to the iPhone nor deletes it from Address Book! I need help troubleshooting this contact as well as verifying that there aren't other similar anomalies corrupting my data, hopefully without manually comparing all 685 entries...
Two days ago, a certain number, let's call it (310) 555-5555, popped up in my recents list as a missed call and in my visual voicemail. When I listened to the voicemail, I discovered that (310) 555-5555 was Jane Smith. I remembered entering Jane Smith several months ago, so I thought hmmm, does she have a second number? I tried to add (310) 555-5555 to an existing entry, only to find my iPhone had no entry for Jane Smith anymore at all! I did not delete her myself, and I'm not aware of any 3rd-party app that ought to have affected the entry. I haven't called Jane Smith or (310) 555-5555 in quite some time, so I have no idea how long the entry may have been missing. I searched the whole phone (left of the first home screen)
At the next opportunity, I looked in Address Book on my laptop, and indeed found the expected entry for Jane Smith, (310) 555-5555. I have no idea how she disappeared from my iPhone -- did I or some third-party program delete her? Or did it happen through some sync issue? -- but I naturally worried that when I next synced, the deletion would sync, too, and I would lose the Address Book entry, leaving me without Jane Smith's number at all.
Such an event would defeat the entire purpose of backing up my phone contacts to my computer; I just moved to iPhone this spring after being a Palm user since 1997, and the idea that iPhone might not be reliably syncing my contacts is frankly terrifying. I checked and saw that my Address Book listed 685 contacts to iPhone Contacts's 684, so I decided to risk a sync in hopes that maybe I had caused a one-off deletion. I wrote down Jane Smith (310) 555-5555 just in case and hit sync.
The results of the sync and my subsequent troubleshooting have seriously undermined my confidence in the fidelity of the sync process. The first time, nothing changed--I still had 684 iPhone, no Jane Smith, and 685 Address Book, including Jane Smith.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Before conecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically". Now connect your phone and when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar click on its name. Go to the Info tab and confirm than your have checked Sync Contacts with Address Book. Now further down on the Info tab under Advanced>Replace information on this iPhone check Contacts. Click Apply and sync your phone. This will replace the contacts on your phone with the contacts in Address Book. (When complete you can go back to iTunes preferences and uncheck "Prevent..." to re-establish automatic syncing if your prefer this.)

IPhone does not delete emails

Hello, I set up my hotmail account as an exchange account (using m.hotmail.com). Push works great as well as when I delete a mail on my iphone it's gone in the webinterface too. When I delete mails in my hotmail account those mails still remain on my iPhone. They are not deleted and remain there - on the server they're gone. I do not want to keep both mailboxes up to date. Is this a normal behaviour? Hope you can help me out.
Kind regards,
Michael

you can change the time which will be synchronized in the settings of your exchange account on the iphone itself.
something like 'settings'-> 'mail, contacts...' -> your exchange account

New/Updated contacts on iPhone 4 not syncing to iMac Address Book

Greetings,
My problem:
When syncing my iPhone 4 with iTunes 10, iTunes will sync contacts FROM my iMac to the iPhone. It will not sync new or changed contacts from the iPhone TO my iMac (no two-way syncing).
Further background:
I recently had Apple replace my hard drive and restored from a Time Machine backup. Everything is working properly except this.
What I'm using:
* iPhone 4 w/ iOS 4.1 (latest)
* iMac 2.4 GHz Intel running OS X 10.5.8
* iTunes 10.1 (54)
Example:
If I create a new contact on my iMac, it syncs with the iPhone as expected.
On the iPhone, If I edit the contact originally created on the iMac and re-sync, the changes do NOT sync back to my iMac.
If I create a new contact on my iPhone, it does not sync with Address Book.
What I've tried so far that has not worked:
1.) Unchecked and re-checked "Sync Address Book Contacts" in iTunes (one-way syncing works fine)
2.) Used the "Replace information on this iPhone" for Contacts within iTunes (contacts from iMac overwrite iPhone as expected)
3.) I had a trial MobileMe subscription that I cancelled months ago.
Went into the iPhone > Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > deleted the MobileMe account, keeping existing data on my iPhone.
4.) Unchecked "Sync Address Book Contacts"
* Went to /users/[username]/Library/Application Support/AddressBook, deleted AddressBook-v22.abcddb and /Images
* Went to iSync app > Preferences > Reset Sync History
* Verified new addressbook and /Images folder were created
* Re-checked "Sync Address Book Contacts"
* Performed another sync using iTunes
(One-way sync works fine)
5.) Deleted all Address Book entries
* Unchecked "Sync Address Book Contacts"
* Went to /users/[username]/Library/Application Support/AddressBook, deleted AddressBook-v22.abcddb and /Images
* Went to iSync app > Preferences > Reset Sync History
* Verified new addressbook and /Images folder were created
* Re-checked "Sync Address Book Contacts"
* Performed another sync using iTunes
Can anyone offer some suggestions? I have my address book backed up, but I'd really like to be able to perform a two-way sync from my iPhone to my iMac's Address Book.
Thanks,
Rob

No need for apologies! Yes, it was checked. Looks like I have solved the problem now and it was something very basic - in the preferences of Contacts on the iMac. Looks like it's all synced now. Thanks for replying!

HT4859 My contacts from iphone do not show in icloud on my PC

I have installed icloud on my PC and iphone5 in order to transfer and edit my contacts on the PC. When I connect my iphone to my PC it opens itunes and syncs but when I open icloud online on my PC and view contacts they are not there.

Looks like you are syncing contacts with Yahoo and FB. If you want to get your Yahoo contacts in iCloud do the following (not sure if this will also add your FB contacts):
Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (if you have any iCloud contacts, they will still be in iCloud).
Download the app My Contacts Backup. Use this to backup the remaining contacts on your phone as a vCard attachment to an email. Send this email to yourself.
After receiving the email on your phone, go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section), and set this to iCloud.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your Yahoo account and turn Off contacts syncing with Yahoo.
Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts back to your phone. They will be added to iCloud group, and should now see them on icloud.com. You can then check Outlook to see if the contacts appear there as well.

HT3529 Contacts on iPhone 5 not showing up as iMessage

I have an iPhone 5 and just noticed that some contacts that are iOS users are not showing up as iMessages on my phone. I received an iMessage on my MBP, but didn't receive it on my iPhone because according to my iPhone, they are not iMessage users. I have all the iMessage configs correct. Anyone else have this problem? Any solutions? Here is what I've tried.
Deleting the iOS phone # from contacts and readding it as "iPhone" phone number.
When I go to create a new message from my phone to this #, it is still sending as text and not iMessage.

You cannot view files on iPhone using the Mac.
Everything goes through Mac iTunes.
The main problem I would like to fix is to be able to locate my device on my computer but I would also very much appreciate information on how to fix the syncing problem.
Just click Sync button again in Mac iTunes with your iPhone connected and selected.

Contacts on iPhone do not sync to iCloud

I use Outlook on Windows7 and iPhone 4 to sync thru iCloud. Calendar, Photostream and Contacts sync successfully, but Contacts sync only for the first time. Added contacts or edited contacts do not sync between iPhone and iCloud, but they sync between Outlook and iCloud. I just realized now that the "working" circulating icon appears all the time when I open Contacts and it never disappear, so it is trying to do something but never synced to iCloud. What would be the problem?

Here's how I fixed it:
When you're in contacts on ipad or iphone, touch "groups" on upper left. I was making all changes on my ipad/iphone when I had the group "all contacts" chosen. Choose "all icloud" group and leave it there and when you add or make changes, it will sync to icloud. All my contacts were on my google account, but not in icloud so I used the following instructions to sync my google contacts to icloud. It worked perfectly. Now I leave my ipad/iphone group set to "all icloud" and it's all syncing to icloud between the ipad2/iphone 4s and imac.
Thought I'd share how I did this since I'm new to iPhones, iCloud.
I found other tutorials that involved iTunes and such but I didn't want the hassle.
Requirements are Gmail Account and a valid iCloud account (Apple ID)
1. Go to your Google Contacts
2. Click the More menu > Export
3. Choose the group or all of your contacts you wish to export, whichever you prefer.
4. Choose vCard format and click the Export button.
5. You will now have a contacts.vcf which has been downloaded to your computer. Put it on your desktop if you prefer.
6. Rename contacts.vcf to yournamehere.vcf (example: stephan.vcf)
7. Log in to iCloud. www.icloud.com
8. Click Contacts
Important Note: Make sure there are no contacts listed here before importing or this may not work. The page needs to be blank.
9. Drag the .vcf file into the window under All Contacts.
The page will highlight with a blue rectangle when you drag the .vcf onto it. Wait a little bit. (It took about 8 seconds for mine to import. I only have 136 contacts though.)
On your iPhone, go to Settings > iCloud and make sure Contacts is listed as ON.

"search iphone" database not deleting

I've deleted a lot of old iMessages and they still show up in the "search iPhone" results. Is there a way to either clear the search index to remove these old items or to turn off the search indexing of SMS/iMessages?

This amounts to a security problem. If you sent a confidential text, and then deleted it, but it can still be found using the search iPhone feature, it's not very confidential

Deleted hotmail emails from my iPhone are not deleted from my iMac

Hi,
After I have deleted my hotmail emails from my iPhone they are not automatically deleted from my iMac.
They delete from my hotmail account but not my iMac.
Also when I set up my hotmail account to my iPhone all of my email files transfered to my iPhone automatically, they didn't transfer
to my iMac.
Help!!!!
Thanks.

Thanks for the help.
I have set Hotmail to (Do what my other program says—if it says to delete messages, then delete them.)
Still no joy, tried to delete an email from my iMac and its still on my iPhone and Hotmail inbox.
Any other ideas?

Deleted Mail on the iPhone does not delete on .Mac

I've noticed that when I delete mail on my iPone in my .Mac account that it does not show as deleted when going to webmail.mac.com. I see the messages still in my inbox AND in the trash.
Any ideas why this is not synching?
Thanks.

I found that there was a slight time lapse from when I managed a message on my iPhone (with .Mac) to when it showed the same status on my Mail.app (.Mac). For example, I deleted a message directly from my Inbox (iPhone) and it moved to trash. But it took about 2 minutes for that same message to show up in my trash on my machine. It just sat as a new, unread message on my laptop and then suddenly during the next send/receive interval it was put into the trash (still marked as unread, though).
Have you allowed any sort of time lapse? Or are you viewing the webmail view of your .Mac account simultaneously as your actions on the iPhone?

Contacts on iPhone disappeared while deleting some individual contacts
