Contacts sync ****

In Feb this year I tried to get rid of my Palm V and bought an iPod Touch.
I was a happy man until end of June. Then contact sync **** broke out.
I had to move to a different laptop that runs Outlook 2000 instead of Outlook 2003.

So at least since October 2008 there has been a lot of trouble with this Sync business on iPhone and iPod touches. In July 2009 the problem persists and no easy to find news from Apple on the issue.
I'm dreaming of the time where my Palm V used to do the job - a push of a button and synching is done - it's been like that for more than 10 years with that device. With Apple I was hoping to improve to photo synching - all I can do now is using the dreadful Windows Address book. I could also buy some Apple gear. But I won't yet since I think Apple should get it's software right on any platform - not just the one they built themselves.
What do you think - will there be a solution any time soon that helps fixing sync **** problems like the one describe above?

I know it may not make you feel any better, but I've not had any trouble with a 1st Generation or a 3G with syncing with Outlook 2003 or 2007. Both phones are still working flawlessly. Let me ask you as couple of questions about your problem. Is contact syncing the only thing that is not working? Have you been able to see your phone in iTunes and does Calendar sync?
For photos you mention, does the computer recognize the iPhone in My Computer under Scanners and Cameras? If so, you should be able to transfer photos the same way you do from any other digital camera. You would just use the same software you use for that purpose, or you can just click on the iPhone in the Scanner and Camera section and copy the photos from there.

Why is contact sync from iphone or ipad to local iMac address book gone?

An option for syncing contacts from iphone or ipad to iMac seems to be gone. From searching other posts on this topic, I see where contact sync is now "through iCloud" but is this the EXCLUSIVE choice for syncing contacts? In other words, there is no longer any sync of contacts NOT through iCloud; I cannot sync contacts from my iPhone to my iMac without it all being stored in the cloud.
This is absurd. My iCloud was hacked (not a password issue on my iMac or any local trojan/etc there are support threads about this) and tons of spam sent to my contacts when I used to sync through the cloud. I turned off iCloud sync for contacts and opted instead to sync from phone to mac and from iPad to mac and this was working just fine, keeping me nice and updated every day no matter where I modified any contacts.
Now it seems that is no longer possible. Is this by design? Why on earth was this removed? Is it a "feature" of these new products to remove working sync methods and force everything through the cloud??

The ability to sync contacts, calendar and browser bookmarks directly from a Mac running Mavericks to an IOS device via USB or WiFi has indeed been removed. Synching through iCloud, Exchange, WebDAV or a similar cloud service is the only option now. You can comment to Apple in this issue via their feedback page, if you wish:

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 ?

I cannot make my Outlook 2010 calendar/tasks/contacts sync with the calendar on my iPhone 5, I cannot make my Outlook 2010 calendar sync with the calendar on my iPhone 5

I have wasted so many hours trying to make this work and researching Apple support. Nothing works so I am hoping to get an answer here.
First of all, here is what I am using:
Windows 7 32 bit
Outlook 2010
iPhone 5 and iPad 3
iOS 7.0.2 on both devices
I have downloaded the iCloud app for my Windows computer and checked that it sync my contacts, calendar, and tasks. I have enabled iCloud on my phone for contacts, calendars and tasks. I have not been able to get anything to sync. My iCloud calendar appears in Outlook but everything is grayed out. I see the iCloud reminders under my tasks tab but there is nothing listed.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled iCloud on my Windows computer. I have turned off the calendars, tasks, and contacts sync under iCloud on my phone and turned them back on - nothing. I have restarted my computer and iPhone - nothing. Same results with my iPad - nothing.
Additionally, I have gmail as my personal email; also am forced to use Good for Enterprise for my work email.
I am at my wits end. I finally ended up syncing today with the USB cable via iTunes but the whole point behind iCloud is to be able to sync wirelessly.
ANY help would be greatly appreciated.

Google contact sync gets hung since 4.4.2 OTA android update

My S4 stopped completing Google contact syncs after the last Android update. All other Google tools complete the sync (App Data, Calendar, Drive, Gmail, etc), but the little arrow circle next to Sync Contacts stops spinning and gets hung. At the bottom of the screen, the Cancel Sync button stays on indefinitely.
Eventually, this error message shows:
"Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly."
I've force stopped and Cleared Data on the "Contacts Storage" in Application Manager.
I've removed and re-added the Google account.
I've done a factory reset.
I've done multiple combinations of the above 3.
Can you get me a quick fix, put me on a beta Lolipop, or revert me back to the previous stable build of Android?

I'm sorry you can't sync your e-mail accounts with your Galaxy since the update CoolGeorge. I would be extremely frustrated if my accounts weren't syncing. Let's get this fixed. When did you get the update on your phone? Do other apps sync on the phone? (Such as Facebook, Twitter, etc.) Please try removing the accounts from your phone, clear the memory, http://bit.ly/R0eeM7 , then restart the phone. Once this is completed, turn phone back on, download the accounts again, and try to sync. Let's see if this helps. Please keep us posted.
Thank you,

Outlook Shared Contacts Sync Issue

**Before i start, i posted this in the Outlook section and was told to post it the Outlook for Exchange section.. So i posted this in the Outlook for Exchange section and the Moderator tells me to post it in the
Outlook section.. So i'm being thrown in a loop back and forth between two forums. Please help me either post it in the correct section or help me with my issue. Links to my posts are at the bottom of this re-post.**
I have a user who adds emails to the "Notes" section of a shared contact. It has worked in the past. She now drags and drops the email into the notes folder, it shows that the email was added, she saves the contact, closes the contact,
then reopens the contact and the information/email that was added is no longer there.
Also, when she opens up the contact, on the top of the window it says "This item was not completely updated during the last server synchronization"
On the bottom of the contact's window it says "Last modified by [email protected] on 11/19/2014" So it doesn't seem to have updated for about 5 months.
The user is on Outlook 2010 - Cached Mode - Windows 7
We use Exchange 2013
We have checked her sync issues folder and see two messages pertaining to this shared contact.

Hi Allen,
Neither are correct. They open a contact in their address book and drag the email into the "Notes" section of the contact. So they do not drag the email into the Notes section of Outlook nor the Contacts section to create a new contact.
There are no errors. I have a screenshot with an example contact card but i can't add it because it says i need to verify my account.. I'm not sure how to do that. I already clicked on the verification email. For example. An email
to me from Bill titled "company announcement" is dragged into the notes section of in Bill's contact card. This is so that i can go to my contacts, click on bill's card, and see emails from him that are important saved inside his contact card.
After dragging the email into this location, I hit save and close the contact card. Usually the email stays there in the notes section but lately when I reopen the contact card, the email that I dropped into the Notes section has disappeared. Other
emails are still in the Notes section but new ones just don't stay.
Just tried doing a Send/Receive All and same issue. User is in cached mode because they have a large mailbox. Can try online mode. Do you know if the Notes section in the contact list has
a size limit?

IPhone, Google & iCloud contact syncing issues

Hi everyone,
I'm having some issues getting my contacts synced correctly between my iPhone and Google account. I have searched a few forums looking for an answer for this particular problem and haven't found a solution yet so my apologies if I'm just missing something here.
I have always synced my contacts via my Gmail account. In my Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars section, I have iCloud set up and then Gmail set up through Exchange for Contacts ONLY. If I added a contact on my iPhone, it would always sync directly to my Gmail Contact Manager. I only noticed that there is an issue all of a sudden because I was given an iPad mini as a gift recently and noticed that not all of my contacts synced. I checked my Gmail Contact Manager this seems to be because any of the contacts I have added on my iPhone since probably last December are NOT listed. If I log into iCloud and check my contacts there, the only contact listed is me as I have always only had contacts listed which are from my Google account.
If I go into my Contacts app and hit Groups at the top left, all I see is Gmail/Exchange, Contacts (checked), Gmail/Exchange Global Address List (unchecked - if I try to click this no contacts appear at all), iCloud, All iCloud (checked). If I go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and scroll down to the Contacts section, the Default Account is listed as Gmail/Exchange. I have tried clicking "Import SIM Contacts" to no avail, changing the Default Account and clicking and unclicking Groups.
Where are the contacts I have added since December(ish) being stored? If they're not in my Google contacts nor in iCloud? How can I make them sync to my Google account again? Is there a way to "push"(?) everything to Google that I'm missing?
Thank you all in advance!

Best way is to use a 3rd party app managing groups. Easy Group is a free one I have developped.
Launch it, all your groups will automatically appear
Tap on "Edit"
Tap on red cross next to the groups you want to delete

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.

GLITCH ALERT! iPhone 5 contacts syncing

GLITCH ALERT! iPhone 5 contacts syncing
Hey all,
I wanted to make you all aware of a glitch I just experienced with my iPhone 5 (black, 32 GB).
The glitch concerns the syncing of contacts between the iPhone 5 and my laptop.
I synced my contacts today and the order the information was displayed was randomized, in that it was not the order I chose, this affected the contacts app on both the iPhone and my laptop. For example, I have my phone number fields in this order: home, mobile, work; my e-mail address fields as: home, mobile (for text), mobile (for pics), work; I have a similar orders for URL fields as well.
On any given syncing session, for each contact, either all the fields within all categories will be in a totally different order, or some of the categories and their fields will be intact while one or two will be randomized. For example the order for my phone numbers might be randomized as work, home, mobile, NOT as I indicated above.
I spoke with Apple Tech Support and the particular tech said this is the first he’s heard of this problem, and that in syncing, the display of entries on the laptop app and on the phone should match. He suggested as a solution to back up the iPhone and restore the phone to the factory settings then restore the backed up files. They also advised they would alert the tech engineers.

Thanks for the suggestion, which I ‘ve tried to no avail. I’ve also been through all the troubleshooting steps in the Apple guide.
I’ve done some more experimenting and I now think iCloud is the issue.
If I add contacts to iCloud they appear on both the phone and mac but not the other way round. Everything else (Calendar, Reminders etc.) syncs fine.
I noticed that in Notifications on the iCloud web site; mail, calendar, reminders and find my mac are all ticked but contacts doesn’t appear at all. Could this be significant?
Can anyone help?
(PS my earlier comment that contacts added to the mac appear on the phone was wrong)

HT1692 My Contacts synced once to my iPod, how do I get them to sync again with updates?

My Outlook Contacts synced to my iPod once (after finally finding out how to so that). Since then it has never synced with Contacts again. It syncs the music just fine. Some instructions I have read mention an "Info Tab" after selecting the device. I have not seen this info tab. So I can't even get past the second step to sync Contacts to my iPod. I have updated the iTunes application once since that time. The screen view was noticeably different after that. A left sidebar was no longer there. Perhaps some of the necessary things to select for syncing Contacts are now hidden.

It's hard to say what would cause that but I doubt you are doing anything wrong. They only way you could intentionally make you contacts or calendars disappear is if you either turn off iCloud syinc for contacts and calendars in Settings>iCloud or signed out of your account.
If it continues to happen, you might want to completely sign out of your account, then sign back in. To do this, you would want to start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide your password and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in.

Unwanted Contact Sync disaster

I have just got the 7.1 upgrade. Unbeknownst to me the BB has picked one of my email addresses and synced all my contacts to it over the net . . . this is really bad as I don;t want my contacts synced to any of my email accounts, ever. i just want them on my BB and only my BB. If I delete them from the net they disappear from my BB. I cannot create a new one without it being on an email account. Do I need to downgrade back to 7.0 to stop this?
Solved!

If you have more than one email account on the BlackBerry, the address book will associate itself with one or the other. But if you disable the sync as directed, it won't.
This is not a function OS7.1 upgrade, it's been here since OS5, and is a function of the BIS integration of your accounts.

First sync with desktop manager for mac: only 300 contacts synced instead of the 1100

I have a Curve 8310. version 4
I have a brand new mac with NO CONTACTS or calendar.
I have preciously very successfully synced with my windows computer for 2 years.
I have just tried for the first time to sync with desktop manager,.only 315 contacts synced of the 1100.
The apple people recommend using Mark/Space" missing Sync" but I am reluctant to do this as the reviews are mixed.
Help?

Hi there.
Have been using my BB Pearl 8100 on and off since Oct 08.
I have successfully synced with a Vaio (XP Pro) using BBDM (up to version 4.6) as well as iMac OS 10.5.8 using PocketMac for BB v4.1 and now BBDM for Mac. Have synced with iCal, Mail, Contacts (albeit 647)
PocketMac can be a little temperamental, but not that much of a prob as when i downloaded it was free (shareware) and the only alternative was Missing Sync.
