Contacts Pictures being overwritten in Sync with iChat Buddy iCons

This is really a problem in 2 parts. Firstly iChat AV is taking over the Address Book Picture. I can set the picture in the Phone, and that contact is someone that is in my iChat Buddy List. I can also set the picture in Address Book. But when the person goes online with his custom buddy icon, that takes over the Address Book icon I'd set. This eventually gets sync'd to the iPhone and then overwriting the lovely picture for my contact and replacing it with a lo res buddy icon. Lame. This is true even if I set the Buddy icon and tell iChat to always use that icon. The Custom Buddy icon seems to always eat the nicer pictures that I place in for the Buddy/Contact in my Address Book.
This seems to be more prevalent on Tiger than on Leopard, but I spend most of my time online in Tiger and its also the machine I sync the iPhone to.

Fortunately, I've discovered the problem was not iChat but Adium. Adium was overwriting my AddressBook Buddy icon. For those of you who run into this as well, you can turn off the setting in the Advanced tab of Adium, under the Address Book sub-tab. There's an images section of that screen. Uncheck "Overwrite Address Book images..."

How do i get my contacts from ICLOUD over to sync with Mobile me?

All of my contacts are in ICLOUD on my mobile device. But my IMAC only Syncs with Mobile me. How do I get my contacts from ICLOUD over to sync with Mobile me?

Well, you can go into setting>mail, contacts, calendars>add new account or through iTunes you can plug your phone into your computer, open iTunes, select your device, then select info. I hope this helps. Au revoir!

My contacts keep deleting themselves and syncing with someone else?

Well, if you no longer sync contacts with iCloud, that means that anyone else using your Apple ID for iCloud will no longer have access to your contacts.

Is your iPhone connected to your computer using the lightning cable or are you doing WiFi sync?
Sometimes the iPhone doesn't show up in the side bar if you're using WiFi syncing, if its not working, then be connected to your WiFi on your phone and on your computer (Same network) let me know how it's going, if it doesn't work still. Turn your phone off and on again and put in your pass code then try to sync it (keep your phone unlocked and not in sleep mode) tel me if it appears in the side bar.

Contacts and calendars won't sync with Windows 7 PC

Just had to buy a new pc (only because my MacBook got stolen) and I set up the iCloud on the machine but my calendars and contacts will not sync with Outlook 2010. Bookmarks, pictures will, but contacts and calendars say they cannot start the operation because of an unexpected error. Any help out there?

The contacts and calendar do sync into another user account but _only some of the records_.
ZoneAlarm. And there is no difference whether it is running or not.
One odd thing:
In order to try to find which record(s) might be causing the problem I sorted my calendar on the "Date Created" field hoping to be able to go back in history and see exactly when things went wrong. Much to my surprise I found that the 13 most recent records did not sync to my iPhone. Then the next 2 did. Then the next 3 did not. Then 1 did. etc.

How to insure that contacts and calendar are NOT synced with ICloud?

Hello,
I do not understand, why it is not possible anymore to sync your contacts and calendar data between your mac book and your mobile devices using USB cable.
I also heard that with Maverick and Itunes 11.1.2 you can not sync anything using USB anymore, is that true?
Why is it not possible to let the customer decide how to sync their data? Why not leaving both options?
In case it is true that with Maverick and Itunes 11.1.2 you are not able to sync using USB anymore, does anybody know a good app to sync your photos and address data between your computer and mobile devices?
How can I insure that my contacts and calendar data are NOT automatically synced with ICloud?
Yesterday I synced some Photos from my macbook to my IPad and wondered why I had the photos twice. I realized that my IPad had ICloud enabled, after disabling ICloud one picture folder (Photostream) was gone. What do do to avoid that my MacBook is sending Photos to ICloud?
However, when I opened ICloud today, I did not find photos, but I found some address data from my MacBook in the Cloud.
I do not want to have my contacts and calendar data anywhere else on a server.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks Hark

Connect your phone to your computer using the USB power cable that you charge your phone with.
Launch iTunes, it will go thru the normal sync back up progress bar thing at the top, let it finish.
Then
double click on the phone in the left side bar then click INFO at the top of that pane, it will allow you select what you want to sync (contacts,calendar,etc) make your selections and click apply, then click sync. There buttons along the top for different functions (Movies, Apps, etc) just make sure that you do not have anything checked (like your whole music library) that will not fit on the phone.

Contacts and calendar have stopped syncing with latest updates

Hello!
iPhone 4S / iOS 7.0.4 and Outlook 2010 - contacts and calendar have stopped syncing - phone syncs, but data doesn't update - Genuis bar in store couldn't help me.
Anyone else with this problem? Do you have a solution?
iCloud is not a option due to limited WIFI access.
Thank you

Do you use a Mac? If so, see the note in the third paragraph:

Contacts on PC do not sync with icloud/ipad/iphone

I have a PC (Windows 7) and Outlook 2010. My contacts do not update on my ipad/iphone/icloud.com when I make an entry or changes in Outlook, and they don't update in Outlook when I make changes or entries on my devices/icloud. However the devices/icloud are syncing with one another. I need the contacts on my PC to be part of the sync but it won't work. And photos only randomly sync up to my PC. What's the secret here????? Thank you!!

This step is not clear:
"Open a secure website to see if you can access ports 80 and 443. Outlook requires access to port 443 to push and fetch updates to and from the iCloud Contacts servers."
The link takes me to an Apple page but which has nothing to do with ports. And there is nothing to explain what it is I am looking for, how to look for it, and how to change it if needed.
Also, this step:
"Open the iCloud Control Panel and make sure that you're signed in to the same iCloud account that you're using on your other supported devices."
iCloud automatically set up a "[email protected]...." account for me so I see that one plus my original email used to open my Apple account. And the apple products show my settings under both identities.
Make sure the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active within Outlook
This add-in is disabled because it doesn't allow Outlook to function properly.
Thanks!

Syncing ACT contacts while on automatic wireless syncing with Microsoft Exchange Server?

Does anyone know if this is possible? At the moment, my company is automatically performing a wireless sync between Outlook contacts and their Blackberry Curve 8330 devices. However, employees that travel also need their ACT contacts on their phone. I've researched CompanionLink and know that I can get the ACT contacts directly onto the Blackberry that way, but, the problem arises where the ACT contacts will end up syncing back to the Exchange server -- which we don't want. We want to keep the automatic syncing with Outlook, but periodically we want to do a one-way ACT transfer onto our Blackberries, without having those extra (approximately 5,000) contacts go back into Outlook. Is there an easy way to categorize/separate Outlook and ACT? Any ideas or workarounds?

I am trying to sync my Outlook 2007 with my palm Treo Pro but keep getting the same error - server could not be reached Error code
80072ee2. This is probably a basic question but the server you enter into the Microsoft Exchange settings in active sync is the mail server you have in Outlook 2007? eg mail.internode.on.net. I don't need to do anything to outlook 2007 to "activate" Microsoft Exchange.
I'm looking at the Internode setup guides and it looks as though you have a POP server. In that case, if you want to sync directly to the server, you would want to set it up for POP/SMTP rather than for Microsoft Exchange Server. Does that help?
If you do not want to sync over the air and instead want to sync only by USB/Bluetooth to your PC, I think that works quite differently. I don't have any experience with that.

No picture albums and music sync with iOS 5 on iPad 2 and iPhone 4

Sie tdem Umstieg auf iOS 5 lassen sich auf dem iPhone 4 gar keine Bilderalben vom Mac synchorinsieren, auf dem iPad 2 hat es einmal mit einem Teil funktioniert, nur sind die Bilder auch noch quer durch verschiedene Alben bunt gemischt. iPod Photo Cache gelöscht, alles ausprobiert, was man so im Internet findet und aus Erfahrung auch noch helfen könnte. Leider hat nichts geholfen.
no picture albums sync, no music sync with iMac with iOS 5. neither via usb nor wifi. tried all tricks on iPad and iPhone. bother!

Hello Suzanil3726,
It sounds like you would like to open another tab in Safari without closing the ones you already have open. The + symbol you are looking for to open another tab is in the upper right hand corner in Safari on the iPad using iOS 7.

Contacts created on iPhone not sync with iCloud

I'm having this problem for a while now. Since my last iPhone.
Currently I have:
an iPhone 5, an iPad, a MCB and an iMac.
All updated with last versions, all using iCloud to sync contacts.
If I create a new contact on the MCB or on the iMac, it will sync to iCloud and to the iDevices. If edit this contact, or even delete it from the device, it will be deleted from iCloud, MSB and iMac.
If I create a contact in the iPad, it will work fine if on settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars, the "Default Account" for contacts is set to "iCloud" instead on "On my iPad"
The problem is: if I create a contact on the iPhone, it will not be synced with iCloud, MCB, iMac or iPad. It will remain only on the iPhone. And on the iPhone, under settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars there is no "Default Account" for contacts, so I'm assuming it is set to "On my iPhone" by default.
Does anyone know how to add the option? or how to force the iPhone to create contacts on iCloud instead on the device itself?

Ensure that indeed you have your iCloud contact sync enabled on your iPhone. If this is true, try forcing the Default Account option to appear under Contacts on your iPhone Settings > Mail, Calendars, Settings. Then follow the instructions from here: iCloud contacts not syncing.
To force the Default Accont option to appear, simply enable an additional contact sync account such as Exchange or CardDAV

HT1386 My iPhone contacts grouped themselves as contacts from pc and contacts from iCloud. Unfortunately the contacts in iCloud is not syncing with my window pc''s outlook. Please tell me a way to sync.

My contacts have grouped themselves as contacts in PC and contacts in iCloud . Unfortunately the iCloud contacts are not syncing with Microsoft outlook when connected through either iTunes or iCloud

I have installed icloud control panel but there is no option to sync your contacts to Outlook as well,it only shows that mail, contacts,Calendars and Reminders are at icloud.com.

Do Contact's Instant Messenger addresses sync with Outlook?

My Outlook contacts have the IM Address field defined, however it doesn't sync that field with the Instant Messenger fields of the iPhone's Contact record.
If I add an IM address to a contact on the iPhone, and sync back to a PC through iTunes, does it store that IM Address somewhere in the Outlook record? If so, where?
Thanks,
Keith

I think you synchronise with outlook express, You try to synchronise with microsoft outlook, (option available at starting)
You can synchronise all email field as well notes, calender etc

Iphone contact's phone number not synced with Outlook

Hi,
I have a contact with 4 phone numbers. That contact syncs with outlook in most cases (e. g. a change in a "note" is transfered both ways correctly).
But: The "private" phone number never shows up in Outlook.
I already reset the sync history.
Any other ideas are warmly appreciated!
Ulrich
PS. Itunes syncs with Outlook 2007

Well, I fixed it myself. In Outlook, I checked each appointment for a bad reminder time. My default time is 30 minutes. ONE entry showed 0 minutes. I changed it to 30, synced, and lo and behold, I have my calendar back! I can't believe that is all it took.
