Contacts sync with email account

Hi I have a quick question, i used to sync my contacts in my bb with [email protected], so on clicking Contacts and then pressing bb buttion then go to option then under contact list, earliest it used to show as default now its showing as [email protected], but now i have deleted this email account from my device but under contacts its showing as [email protected] and not as default. any suggestion y this is happening ????? thnks

Syncing with cloud-based databases has been problematic for me too. I synced to my Apple iCloud account to get my contacts on my new Q10 but after that initial sync it stopped working. I set up GMail contacts and it never worked. I've also tried Live/Hotmail contacts and got nowhere. BlackBerry Link doesn't sync my contacts on my Mac either. So I'm back to maintaining two contact lists - on my Q10 and on my computers. It wasn't so bad because I had to do that with every phone I've owned until I used an iPhone. As a Mac user the iPhone is a dream as far as syncing contacts and files with iCloud.

  • Hotmail not syncing with email account on computer

    I can't for the life of me figure out how to sync my hotmail that I sign in on the web, to my mail account on my actual computer. I get it to sync, but then when I delete something on the hotmail account through the webpage, it does not delete on the mail account on my computer. So l'm left with 100's of emails that I've already read or deleted back onto my email account with the computer. Any ideas? What's strange is that I've linked it to my iphone, and the iphone works just great. When I delete something off of there, it deletes it on my web account with hotmail. Need help please.

  • How to add custom label to a new contact in address book which is synced with outlook account

    Hello all,
    My iPhone is synced with outlook account. When I tried to create a new contact,'Add Custom Label' option was missing. Is Apple provides any solution to handle this? Is there any documentation provided about this behavior?

    The second script is working but if I need to change the link it will not allow me to edit or delete it in iCal on my desktop. The only way to edit it is to use the online iCal in me.com.
    And the worst problem is that the url does not show up on my iPhone iCal. The iPhone version of iCal has limited features. So if I'm away from the office on my iPhone I still have the problem of having no link to my iCal appointment. I still end up having to use both iCal and Contacts as separate Apps.
    I still dont understand why Apple wouldnt make these 2 Apps work together! It seems so obvious! thanks anyway.

  • Why won't contacts sync with iphone

    I'm loosing the will to live and I've spent hours trawling through the huge amount of fixes suggested on various sites but to no avail. I run a macbook pro, OSX10.6.8, Itunes 10.4 and the software on the iphone was updated today. Syncing with iTunes worked fine up until about 3 weeks ago - I don't know what happend but it just stopped. If I delete all the contacts in the mac address book (310) and run a sync nothing changes on the 472 iphone contacts. All the settings appear to be correct in the preferences. If I check the box to stop syncing contacts and delete all 472 contacts on the phone - they all dissapear. When I reset the sync contacts check box and check the "replace all the contacts on this phone during the next sync" box I get all 472 back again. Can anybody offer any help at all please before I slash my wrists!!

    Clearly it doesn't work as I imagine! But I still don't understand what you mean. I'm not saying that I don't like Google's instructions,- what makes you say that?  I'm saying that I think I've already followed them to the letter. How have I not? What else, exactly, do I need to do? Talk me through an example, please.
    "You have added a data conduit between Google and your phone. But you have not put anything IN that conduit, save the data Google already has."
    What I want to put into it is the contact data aleady on my phone (and in icloud). Google's instruction seems to say that to put something in the conduit, I just have to open Contacts on the iphone. Clearly that's not correct. So what do I do?
    Here's what I'm refering to in Goolge's instructions:
    "If you're using iOS 5 or iOS 6, follow these steps to set up contact syncing with Google Contacts:
    Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account... > Other > Add CardDAV Account.
    Enter the following information in the fields: 
    Server: google.com
    User Name: your full Google email address
    Password: your Google account password
    Tap Next at the top of the screen to complete the setup.
    After you have completed the setup, open the Contacts app on your device. Syncing should begin automatically."
    The last sentence seems to me to mean that opening Contacts will "put someting in the conduit".

  • Contacts sync with the wrong e-mail address

    i added an e-mail address to my blackberry storm 9350, and now all of the contacts are syncing with that e-mail address - not the one that I want!  Anyone else having this problem, and if so, how to fix it?  I've gone through my phone over and over and haven't figured out a way to select which e-mail address my contacts sync with....

    I have the same problem as the emails go to my iCloud account that I cannot access!!! I cannot answer the security questions as someone else must have set up my iCloud account. Nothing seems to work. It would be great if someone has some ideas as what can be done to recover the situation?

  • How do I stop my contacts syncing with Outlook 2011?

    Hi - I have been using Outlook 2011 but I want to stop using it because it's really buggy.  I have opened sync services in Outlook and unchecked all, but how do I make my contacts sync with Address book again?  At present they will not

    What is syncing between them ? If calendars, contacts, safari favourites then are you using the same iCloud account on both devices and have them enabled in Settings > iCloud on both ?
    If apps, music, and/or ibooks that you buy on one device are automatically downloading on the other device then do you have automatic downloads enabled for them in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone/iPad ?

  • How Do I Sync All Email Accounts and Mailboxes (including those I create)?

    How do I Sync all email accounts in the OSX Mail Application and mailboxes(including those I have created), all using the .mac sync application . . . or is there a better way to sync information from my powerbook to my imac?
    The problem: I am reading and sorting/organizing my emails on my powerbook when traveling, and then I come home to my imac and end up having to manually duplicate the work I just completed. Any easy way of truly syncing the information between computers? Pleae let me know. Thanks
    What is meant by mailbox structures? For example: On my powerbook, I have 2 unread messages in one of my IMAP email accounts. I read both messages. I choose to move message A to a client mailbox that I created in the OSX Mail APPL and the other message B I leave as read in the inbox & respond with a sent email . Now I use the .mac sync app on the powerbook. Then I use the .mac sync app on my imac . . . . will the application not sync the same information/sorting/organizing/sent responces into the appropriate mailboxes? I'm so confused.
    Also, what "mailboxes behavior" & "advanced" preferences should be checked with IMAP email accounts. All sorts of misc. mailboxes keep being created in the OSX Mail APP. when choosing different preferences. When selecting store on server (mailboxes created indicate: stored locally on computer). Again very confused.

    The benefit of using an IMAP is keeping server stored messages synchronized when accessing the account with an email client such as the Mail.app on different Macs.
    Messages in the Inbox mailbox for an IMAP type account are stored on the server by default which cannot be turned off.
    With an IMAP type account, you can also store Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk messages on the server which is available under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for the account preferences.
    If you want to keep Sent messages synchronized with Mail on both Macs, you need to select "Store sent messages on the server" under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for the account preferences in Mail on both Macs.
    I choose to move message A to a client mailbox that I created
    in the OSX Mail APPL and the other message B I leave as read in
    the inbox & respond with a sent email . Now I use the .mac
    sync app on the powerbook. Then I use the .mac sync app on
    my imac . . . . will the application not sync the same information
    /sorting/organizing/sent responces into the appropriate mailboxes?
    I'm so confused.
    Was this client mailbox created as an "On My Mac" location mailbox? If so, an "On My Mac" location mailbox is stored locally on the hard drive, not on the server so messages moved to such a mailbox will not be kept synchronized with Mail on both Macs. Transferring a message from the account's Inbox mailbox or from any server stored mailbox to an "On My Mac" location mailbox stores the transferred message locally on the hard drive and removes the message from the server at the same time.
    When creating a mailbox, the default location is "On My Mac" which is stored locally on the hard drive. If you are accessing an IMAP type account, you can select the IMAP account via the location selection which will create the mailbox on the server and be available in Mail on the other Mac. Messages placed in a server stored mailbox will be kept synchronized with Mail on both Macs.

  • I have my contacts synced with icloud and exchange. I want all of them to be synced via icloud, I have tried turning contacts off and then clicking merge but that doesn't copy all of them over. How do I transfer all contacts onto my phone and then icloud?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you can't do this on a computer, which would be much easier using drag and drop, then you will need to share the contacts with yourself in order to move them to the iCloud account.

  • How to sync all email accounts AT ONCE in N8 Symbi...

    Hi to all
    There is any way to sync all email accounts AT ONCE in Nokia N8 with Symbian Belle ?
    Because syncing one by one is very unpleasant (I have 12 email accounts on my phone). Is there a way to sync all accounts at once?
    hank you for your attention

    iSync does not synchronize mail at all, and .Mac Sync synchronizes only mailbox structures, rules, signatures and smart mailboxes, not mail content.
    To 'synchronize' mail, you must use IMAP technology, as opposed to the far more common POP3 standard for incoming mailboxes. The OS X Mail program supports IMAP account creation, as do most electronic mail providers, including AOL and Yahoo. Notably, Google does not support IMAP with it's Gmail product: it's probably best described as a slightly whacky, non-standard POP3 offering, and is not a good choice if you want to 'synchronize' you mail among two or more clients.
    This sort of POP3 vs IMAP and mail synchronization discussion occurs frequently in the Mail & Address Book forum, and there are several 'experts' there—listed typically in the Top Rated Members in Forum list in the right sidebar—who help users all the time. You can search the forum by subject or their user name, or browse and look for related subjects or their answers, to get a better idea of how to deal with these issues. You can find that forum here:

  • Will iCloud sync all email accounts connected to the mail application?

    Will iCloud sync all email accounts connected to the mail application?

    The questions on mail and MobileMe are ones that I have, too. But another question/issue that I have is the inability for my iPhone to separate calendars for me. I have 2 work calendars and one personal calendar. Plus I have a family calendar. I would really like to be able to look at my calendars on the iPhone and see what I have for personal, family and business. I was able to do this with my old Blackberry.
    When I looked at the video for MobileMe, it seemed to accomplish this on the computer (mac or pc) but I don't remember seeing the iPhone give good distinction between different calendars (i.e. syncing different calendars or separating them by colors).
    Any thoughts?

  • Can't sync back email accounts

    Today I deleted my one email account on the phone. When I went to sync via itunes, it wouldn't add it back. Syncing email accounts option is selected and I have since rebooted the phone and tried with no success.
    During syncing, iTunes even shows "syncing email accounts with iPhone" but it's still not added.
    It's not a big hassle to add it back by hand but is there a solution to this?
    Thanks!

    Hey Kevin,
    Try Resetting the Sync History from the iSync applications preferences window as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23030
    Then go back to iTunes and choose to sync mail accounts again.
    You can also overwrite all email accounts on the iPhone with email accounts from the Mac by clicking on the iPhone in iTunes(under devices)> Click on the Info tab> check replace mail accounts on the iPhone> Apply.

  • Hi, we have two iphones with two accounts.  The apple tv automatically syncs with one account to play music from the iphone to apple tv.  How can I use my iphone to do the same?

    Hi, we have two iphones with two accounts.  The apple tv automatically syncs with one account to play music from the iphone to apple tv.  How can I use my iphone to do the same?

    Our experience is a little different, we have different iTunes accounts for different family members, each family member has their own iTunes library on their own mac, each mac uses my Apple ID for homesharing and we are able to play purchased content from each library on the Apple TV.

  • TS2446 My Daughters Ipod is disabled. it is not sync with my account. I can not open anything except " IPod is disabled   conect to itunes" what do I do

    My Daughters IPOD is locked and when it turns on it states " IPOD is disabled       connect to itunes"   It is not in sync with any account . How can I unlock it and sync with my account>
    ????

    You will need to connect it to a computer's iTunes, and you should then be able to reset it back to factory defaults : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
    If you don't have iTunes installed on a computer then you can download it from here : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    What do you mean 'not in sync with any account' ? Do you mean that you don't have a backup to restore back onto it, either on a computer nor in the cloud ? If not then you might be able to redownload some/all of your past purchases via the Purchased tabs in the store apps on it
