Contacts synch issue

I have my contacts synched via iCloud on 3 Macs and 2 iPhones and 1 iPad. Whenever I make a new contact of any (except one) device - they show up on all as it should. But when creating a contact on one iPhone, it is only on that iPhone. But that iPhone does sync contacts from the other devices. Also, if I put in a contact on another device but change something on that one iPhone, that will synch back to the other. Only new contacts created do not synch. Any idea?

On the phone you're having this problem with, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section) and set the default to iCloud. Then do a test contact and see if it syncs to your other devices now.

Contacts synching issues after installation of new Desktop Manager

After I installed the latest version of Desktop Manager a couple of weeks ago, my Outlook Contacts no longer synch correctly. It goes through the first 50 or so and then it's "off". It asks me to resolve conflicts between a profile in outlook and one on the Pearl that are for completely different people. It's as if the IDs on outlook and the IDs on the phone are completely out of synch?
I installed the new version today, same problem...
I've been using DM for years to synchronize with Outlook, never an issue.
Any thoughts or recommendations?
Thanks! Gabriele

I have an iPhone 5 and got my daughter an iPod Touch. I set it up using my apple ID so she could use my iTunes. Now we are having contacts synch issues and she is receiving some text message threads that I exchange with other iPhone users.

What is the best practice here? I want her to have her own contacts, etc., but to be able to download music and aps from the store using my account, and to synch her music with my iTunes. Any suggestions? Thanks!

- On her iPod go to Settings>iCloud and turn off contacts and other things if you want.
- On the iPod go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and add here own email address and delete the Apple ID email address. Also uncheck yur phone number if it appears. The only way to delete the phone number is to use an Apple ID not associated with the phone. You do that in Settings>Messages>Apple ID
You can go to Settings>FaceTime>Yu can be reached at and add here email and delete the Apple ID.

Latest Desktop update no help with Contacts synch problem!

I had hoped that the latest update would solve the greyed out Contacts synch option. No such luck! I have not been able to synch contacts for the past 3 months.
And you wonder why Blackberry stock continues to fall? This will probably be my last Blackberry if something doesn't change soon!

Hello,
Knowing nothing more that what you put into this post, I can only make guesses...no, I didn't go back and try to find if you have another thread that is related...if you do, then you might be better to bump that thread so that the history can be included...
In any event, also not knowing how exactly you installed the latest Desktop Software, I can't be sure if you did it totally "clean" or not...if you want to try that, here's a process that's worked for some folks:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Desktop-Software-for-PC/Cleanly-quot-Starting-Over-quot-with-...
Otherwise, maybe these KBs apply?
KB14143 Unable to synchronize the BlackBerry smartphone with Microsoft Outlook Business Contact Manager
KB14805 Unable to synchronize with Microsoft Windows Contacts
Or perhaps Wireless Synchronization is checked on the BB within the Contacts app Options?
Sorry, I know I'm guessing...but I'd like to help if I can...

Contacts Synching vs Display/ Sorting

I recently added a new contact to my Outlook Contacts list, but after synching the iPhone, could not find that new contact in my iPhone Contacts list.
After checking the usual support pages and this forum, I could not resolve the issue and contacted a very helpful tech in Apple Support by phone. After trying all the usual methods like re-synching, verifying that the iPhone was indeed syching from it to Outlook, and Outlook back to the iPhone Contacts list, we discovered that the problem was not one of a synching glitch, but of how contacts are displayed in Outlook versus how they are displayed in iPhone contacts.
Here is the problem. In Outlook, new entries are made on the single line for names. But you also have the choice to display that entry in a last name first sort order. When you do, and open up the entry from the Outlook list of displayed last names first, you see the record as you originally entered it, first name first, with the "display as" field sorted to your preference. Among other things, this Outlook feature allows me to use Outlook to chose to sort and display on the sort list individual names by last name first, but enterprise listings by first name first, or by a key word first (for example: I might chose to list an entry for "Verysmall Bank" as displayed on the list of contacts as I will most likely remember it, "Verysmall Bank", rather than as "Bank, Verysmall" but might chose to list my lending officer by last name first "Miserly, Ian."
When the Outlook list synchs with the iPhone, it does not use the Outlook "display as" field for the name information, but rather, the Name field, which will normally be displayed as first name first, etc. Then, you can chose how to sort and display those names, in the iPhone, using the settings tools under Phone as either as sort order with last,first or first,last and have the same two choices for the display order. But you cannot pick and chose. All entries will be sorted by one way or the other. So, if you want to sort enterprise names by first name and individuals by last name, you're out of luck in the iPhone contacts list. Worse, if you want to display a contact by last name, not only does it appear in the list, but also in the info panel that way (e.g. the list would show: Miserly Ian and in the info panel, the name would also be displayed as Miserly Ian). Then, to sort by last name, you would end up finding Mr. Miserly under the "I" section rather than the "M" section.
None of this is a big deal with a small set of contacts, but with a huge one, it can be infuriating to have to hunt around for a name and the proper way the name should be show in the info panel. And it may be that if you just added a new contact to your Outlook list and think you have a synching issue with the iPhone because you can't find it, you may only have a display/sort anomally.
Let's hope, and I would suggest to Apple, that Apple takes care of this issue in the June update. I know that enterprises will want to have their contacts sorted in a more flexible way rather than, as now, from an "individual-centric" viewpoint. I would think it should be fairly simple to allow sorting from the Outlook "display as" field and leave capturing the full info on a contact from the "v-card" as set up in Outlook.

Thanks for posting this. This issue has been driving me crazy as well, so I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. I believe this problem affects not only new contacts added on the iPhone, but also any pre-existing contacts that are edited on the phone. As a result, I just changed my display setting on the iPhone to "First Last," even though I found "Last, First" much easier to scroll through, because I was so sick of having iPhone alter Outlook's display setting for some of my contacts.
I also hope this is an issue Apple is working on. And while they're at it (ok, this is an admittedly minor request), I would love to have different display settings for the Contacts list and the caller ID. When I'm looking for a phone number, I want to see the list alphabetized by last name, but when I'm receiving a call I'd like to see the first name first so that's the thing on the tip of my tongue when I answer the phone.

Synch issue with icloud

Hello,
I have upgraded to iOS5 last week (iphone4).
I have activated iCloud and chose to synch everything except mails and notes.
When I go to iCloud.com from my computer, I have :
- only 4 contacts in "contacts" while I have 300+ in my iphone
- nothing in calendar, while I have a lot in my iphone
- no "photostream" link, so I don't know how to see my pictures in iCloud.com
I have connected my iPhone to personnal wi-fi and to power during many days.
How can I solve this synch issue ?
Thx
Adrien

If you mean that a new reminder entered on one device doesn't show up on other devices then check that
1) The other devices are logged into the same icloud account and have reminders turned on (settings>icloud), and
2) that the remider is in the "icloud" group, and not in the "on my ipod" or whatever group.

You should be able to copy them to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases and you can then sync them to the iPhone (or you could re-download them directly on the iPhone)

Stop syncing them to the same source. If you're sharing an iCloud account with someone, don't do that.

Synching Issues with iphone 4/ itunes

When attempting to synch my iphone with itunes, the synch cannot progress past the "backing up" stage. Why?? Getting a bit frustrated now to be honest.
Every time I plug my phone into the computer, itunes informs me of the latest update required (4.3.5), but because of the synching issue, I obviously can't get the new update.
any help appreciated

"iTunes could not back up the iPhone "Guru's iPhone" because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone. Delete the backup for this iPhone, then try again."
The above is the error message I receive when trying to upgrade/ synch my iPhone with iTunes on my Laptop. I have the latest version of iTunes available (10.4.1)

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?

Outlook 2007 contact synch problems with iCloud

Running into difficulties synching iCloud 1.0.1 contacts with Outlook 2007. It freezes/crashes outlook quite regularly. The contacts properly synched the the first time but now I'm getting "Couldn't save changes to x items" when Outlook tries to synch with iCloud. The reason given for a particuliar contact is "got no rsrc name for msg?!". If i try again, same message. The other option it to 'delete' which then deletes the contact(s) showing up in the error message from icloud folder in outlook but does not affect them in iCloud. I have no contacts in the default outlook folder. I am only using iCloud contacts on PC and iphone 4s.
The iCloud addin is enabled for Outlook. I removed "contacts with outlook" in the iCloud control panel and re-enabled but this did not fix the problem.
Any suggestions? I've searched for this error message apple's support but do not find any matches.
Thanks,
Rick

OK, I bit the bullet and manually did the only "work around" that I could come up with. When the message, "got no rsrc name for msg?!" comes up I manually noted the 10 contacts at a time from Outlook that were giving problems and choose the only option which did something - I choose the "delete" button. It deletes those 10 contacts from Outlook's iCloud. Taking note of which ones i deleted, then, using my iphone - I located those contacts in the iCloud (as it doesn't delete them from the cloud, but neither are then in Outlook) and made a small modification to each one - e.g. adding a period in the note field, saved and exited the contact. Then I went back to Outlook and refreshed from the iCloud. Sometimes you have to wait 3-4 mintues for the update to come through. If you get a message about a new batch of 10 contacts that have synch error problems, you will need to "X" out and close the dialog box. Sometimes only a few of the modified contacts come through and you need to go back to the cloud via phone a modify those straggler contacts again (adding another period, etc.)
Once all the previously deleted contacts come back into Outlook's iCloud folder, check them off your list as complete. Refresh iCloud on Outlook (mine has a button for this at the top of Outlook bar). You should get your next batch of 10 conflicts. Go thru the WHOLE process for ALL of your Outlook contacts.
I am pleased to say this consumed half of my Saturday doing this incredibly boring and tedious workaround for an obvious bug. I had about 250 contacts. I pity anyone that has 500+ contacts...you many as well throw the PoS phone out and go with an android.
Problem fixed, no more Outlook crashing/hanging or contact synch 'errors'.
all the best....

I have a "Contact" organization issue I need help with. I organize multiple customers under their account affiliation. I place the people with their contact info under each account name by their dept/role in the notes section of their account. I am looking to be able to directly dial / email from this info in yet notes section located within a contact. On Blackberry, the notes area entered in a contact can connect directly but on the iPhone those numbers/emails are inactive. I am trying to avoid having to create each of these individuals as a separate contact and keep them under their account affiliation. It is easier to find them. This does not seem like that complicated of a request and hoping someone can tell me how or share an app that will enable the "notes" within a contact be "active". Hope this makes sense.

I seem to recall that this question has been asked before and I'm pretty sure that the answer is that you can't do what you want to do with the native contact app. However, there are lots of contact apps out there that pull from the built app's data but have other features. Perhaps one of them would meet your needs.

I use Plaxo for my contacts, and I want it to synch my Outlook contacts with my PC. I got a new HP PC with the (awful) Windows 8.0 operating system, and, to say the least, I miss the good old days. Plaxo customer support tells me that I can't use my iCloud contact synch because they clash.
My question: How do I disable my iCloud contact synch feature while still allowing the rest of iCloud (music, photos) to operate as usual.
What mysterious steps must I take in order to do this and not cause a complete meltdown in the process? The meltdown that I fear most is the one that happens between my ears.

Music is nothing to do with iCloud but Photostream is, so turn off Mail, Contacts and Calendars (in the iCloud Control Panel) and leave everything else on.
You will lose iCloud Calendars and Mail as well as Contacts, but you can manually re-enable mail (if you use iCloud email)

12 bit audio synch issues

Hey all. I have a queation regarding 12 bit audio synch problems. I have digitized a tape recorded with 12 bit audio and am just now coming into video/audio synch issues and was wondering if anyone might have a workflow suggestion. Soecific questions are -
1 - Can I export the troubled clips to quicktime/ resample them at 16 bit and reimport?
2 - Some of the clips I already have edited and are in synch, do I need to correct them as well or will final cut do that on export?
3 - If I get a 12 bit/16 bit mixed bag on my timeline, can I export the mix to 2 track and convert before exporting it to compression?
ANy suggestions on how to work through this would be appreciated. I seem to have a lot of people coming to me with this setting and would like to know of any viable workflow solutions.
Thanks

1. Yes. Quicktime Pro, iTunes or third party audio editing software such as Peak can resample to 48khz/ 16 bit.
2. It would be best if you can get everything in the timeline to be 48khz/16 bit.
3. See #2.
Dope slap these fools who bring you 32khz stuff. Charge them MUCHO extra for your time.
