Contacts only partially Synching

So about two days ago I went to make a call via my "favorites" and I noticed all the numbers were still there, but there were no names attached. Now when I go into my contacts I see people's names, but no numbers, emails, or addresses. I've tried resynching, turning the phone and computer off and on, I've even restored my phone and I am still having the same issues. I synch to Outlook 2003 and I did verify that all my contact information is still in outlook. Any thoughts?

Some times, just doing on reset, sync history or replace all contact info, does not work.
Try combining both.
Open itunes with out connecting the iphone.
Click on edit at the top of itunes and choose preferences.
When the preferences window opens, click on the syncing tab to the far right.
Check the box to disable automatic syncing for all ipods and iphones.
Then click the button to reset sync history.
Click ok on the preferences window to close it.
Now connect the iphone.
When itunes detects the iphone, click on the info tab and go to the bottom advanced section.
Check the box to replace all contact data on the iphone.
Now click the apply button on the bottom right of itunes.
Hope this helps.

Facebook contacts only partially syncing.

I addded my facebook account in system preferences in hope of syncing my contacs and their birthdays but it seem that OS X is unable to sync all contacts.
I have on 80 or so contacts of my 400+ friends synced with OS X. Is it a known problem? How can I solve it?

Ok. Now there are almost 200. I found out that only contacts who have made available their phone numbers appear in my contacts. None of the others appear. That's a bug. Is there somewhere we can report this bug?

Contacts only partially sync'ed

Hi,
For whatever reason, only about 30 of my 300+ contacts on my iPhone are sync'ed to the iCloud. I've tried turning the contact syncing in iCloud settings on and off but that does not seem to work. I've noticed that all the contacts that actually got sync'ed to the iCloud are the latest ones I created on my phone or my address book. Does anyone else have the same problem? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Doniel

its the same here as well. i.e: 300 on both Mac and iphone, but only 248 on icloud. it's really frustrating.

IPhoto only partially synched photostream

There are about 462 photos on my photostream, but when I activated iPhoto (a few hours ago) it only synced 42 of them (and not even the most-recent 42, seems random).
Why does iPhoto only show a few photos from my photostream? Does it only upload so-many photos at once?

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
If that doesn't help try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and try to create a new, test library. If you can then the culprit is your old library. If that's the case make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

HT4910 Feeling a bit frustrated that my contacts, mail, notes & calendar do not appear to be either backing up at all or only partially to iCloud when that was the purpose for using it to begin with. Anyone have suggestions or instructions how to get this

Feeling a bit frustrated with iCloud as it has either not backed up my contacts, mail, notes, & calendar on my phone or only partially. How helpful is that?? It has already resulted in "losing" data for me in my calendar & contacts since I've owned it at the beginning of this year. Would really appreciate any instructions or suggestions others have used successfully to "fix" this problem. Thanks so much in advance for your time & information!

Apple used to strive for smarter solutions but that has changed.
After "upgrading" to Mavericks you can no longer sync device to device with USB or WiFi.
This is so stupid! First, when you travel there are long periods of no WiFi or 3G/4G. Second, cloud-based services are still pretty worthless because it's slow. Third, cloud-based services are still pretty worthless because of low security. Fourth, cloud-based services are still pretty worthless because of low capacity (I have a calendar from my first Newton of 1996 and iCloud can't handle the amount of data).
Why would you prohibit safe and fast syncing via USB??? It's just plain stupid!
Do NOT upgrade to Mavericks if you want to keep your safe and fast sync for Calendars and Contacts.

Just 'upgraded' to Windows Phone 7, now my contacts can't synch from the PC, and Windows Live has a 500KB limit? Is there a way around this nightmare??

For years I was happily plugging in my Palm Treo Pro, and having my contacts and calendar synch with my PC, WITHOUT the need for that information to be stored on the cloud, where anyone could get at it. When that died recently, I bought a used Windows 7
phone.
So far, it sucks. And it's not the phone that's the problem.
My main issue is that I have diligently exported my (over 5000) contacts from Outlook as a CSV file, and went to import them into Windows Live, only to discover that there's a 500KB limit. That's somewhere around 500 contacts.
ARE YOU SERIOUS?!? You really need me to set up 10 different files, to import stuff onto the cloud?
Please tell me there is a way around this limit, or (better yet) a way to synch directly with my PC, so I can avoid this whole Windows Live disaster?? I want to use Outlook. It's a Microsoft product!
Please help!

Hi,
I'm not sure about the Microsoft Account Contact limit, for this issue, you may post the question to Microsoft Community:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com
If you still have the contacts in your Outlook Client, I suggest you setup the Microsoft Account(Windows Live) in Outlook via Exchange ActiveSync, then move the contacts to the contacts folder of the Microsoft Account, let it sync, then all will be done,
you don't have to export and import the .csv file any more.

My apps, photos etc on my iPad are only partially backing up on iCloud. Anybody know why? It's only backing up 1.7GB even though I have 13GB of stuff on it.

My apps and everything on my iPad are only partially backing up to iCloud. It's only backing up 1.7 GB but I have 13GB of stuff on my iPad. I have 200GB of iCloud storage so I don't know what the issue is.

Apps are not part of the backup. In app data is, but backing up the apps would be redundant as they can be re-downloaded from the store for free. Media (music, movies, podcasts, etc.) are also not part of the backup for the same reason.
iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview
What iCloud backs up
You have important information on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. iCloud automatically backs up your device over Wi-Fi every day while it’s turned on, locked, and connected to a power source. With your device information backed up in iCloud, you can easily set up a new device or restore information on one you already have.
Here’s what iCloud backs up:
Purchase history for music, movies, TV shows, apps, and booksYour iCloud backup includes information about the content you have purchased, but not the purchased content itself. When you restore from an iCloud backup, your purchased content is automatically downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. Some types of content aren’t downloaded automatically in all countries, and previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the store. For more information, see the Apple Support article iTunes in the Cloud availability by country. Some types of content aren’t available in all countries. For more information, see the Apple Support article What can I buy from the iTunes Store in my country?.
Photos and videos on your iOS devices
Device settings
App data
Home screen and app organization
iMessage, text (SMS), and MMS messages
Ringtones
Visual Voicemail
Your iOS device backup only includes data and settings stored on your device.
It doesn’t include data already stored in iCloud, for example contacts, calendars, bookmarks, mail messages, notes, shared photo albums, iCloud Photo Library beta, My Photo Stream, and documents you save in iCloud using iOS apps and Mac apps.

I have only loaded phone contacts in my new iPhone 5 and my email contacts only on my Macbook Pro with retina display contacts how can I keep them from changing my iPhone to email contacts only when I connect to iTunes please

Since purchasing a new iPhone 5 and macbook pro with retina display I have decided to keep the iPhone 5 for phone contacts only, and the macbook for email contacts only .. Is there a way for me to keep these as they are recorded on each apple product when I sync with iTunes as it has changed my iPhone and put in email contacts and thus deleted iPhone phone contacts once when I syncd thanks appreciate any help

To prevent your iPhone from automatically syncing when you plug it in, click on iTunes in the menu bar, then preferences, then "devices", then tick "prevent iPhones, iPad's and iPod's from syncing automatically".
Plug it in, then on the iPhone sync summary screen, click "info" along the top.
Make sure the "sync contacts" option is not ticked. as long as it's not ticked, then it won't sync with your mac's contacts but will still include them in backups.
Also, if you use iCloud, make sure that the iPhone/mac are either not signed into the same account, or that "contacts" is not turned on for both of them

I made the mistake of resetting my iPod to factory defaults. Now it will only partially sync to my music library. I continually get an error message saying that certain songs are not authorized for my computer. Any ideas?

I made the mistake of resetting my iPod to factory defaults. Now it will only partially sync to my music library. I continually get an error message saying that certain songs are not authorized for my computer, although they are in the iTunes library on the computer and will play. It's these songs that won't transfer to the iPod. I have deauthorized and re-authorized the computer but no joy. Any ideas?

Hello there DesertRat71,
I was thinking that some of the songs in your library may have been purchased under a different apple id. You have already done the first thing I would have done by de authorizing and re authorizing. To verify this, highlight one of the songs that will not sync over and use File>Get Info. Here is the help menu link for it if you need it help://bookmark='https://help.apple.com/itunes/mac/11.0/help/index.html?localePa th=English.lproj#itns2937'
In the Summary section there will be an Apple ID entry. If it shows something different than what you are currently using then I recommend signing into the Apple ID it shows and authorizing the computer for that one as well.
All the best,
Sterling

My ipod touch is only partially functional, requiring multiple taps to do anything, with apps crashing. I performed all Apple troubleshooting steps, including reset and restore, but no change in symptoms. What should I do now?

My iPod Touch (4G, 8Gb) is only partially functioning, requiring multiple taps on icons to do anything, and apps are crashing often. There is a thin white border that appears around icons when tapped once, then I must tap twice to activate. (that's 3 taps for what used to take 1) I successfully completed all the Apple troubleshooting page steps, including reset and restore, but there was no change to its condition. What can I do now?

Now that I think aboput it further, You may have an Accessibilty feature turned on.
- Try triple clicking the Home button to see if that will allow access to the iPod so you can go to Settings>General>Restrictions to turn off all the Accessibilty features.
- If not then connect the iPod to your computer and turn off the features. See:

HT204406 I authorized a second computer on my iTunes account, and downloaded my library from the Cloud to my new computer. However, many songs only partially downloaded, and now I'm having a hard time getting rid of them to do full downloads.

I authorized a second computer on my iTunes account and tried to get my first computer's library on my second computer via the Cloud. Many of the songs only partially downloaded, and I am having a hard time getting rid of the library with the partial downloads (so I can get full songs). I am considering nuking the current iTunes on the second computer and re-installing, giving myself a clean slate to work with. Is this the right way to go?

How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

Please help me. I've just lost my iphone so I related to my backup contacts on icloud to get my contacts back. But my contacts only show at the first time and then they dissappeared, my contacts was empty. How can I see my contacts?

If they aren't on icloud.com they are no longer in iCloud. If you don't have another backup, I'm afraid they're gone.
