Contacts will no longer sync?

The contacts will no longer sync to the iPad. The sync process is stuck at this point during the sync. What seems to be the problem?

Are you using an Exchange mail server, or some other system? I've seen issues in the past with sync hanging on a specific contact record that is corrupted.....

ITunes removed contacts from iPhone and will no longer sync

iTunes 10 on OS X Lion removed all my contacts from my iPhone 3G and will no longer sync them. I had about 500 contacts, I'm not about to enter them manually. Now I have no idea who is calling or texting. This is absolutely ridiculous! There is absolutely no support!

If iTunes will not sync contacts to your iPhone4...
Go to
Settings
Main, contacts etc.
scroll down to "Contacts"
under "contacts you see a list. Choose the menu "Default Account"
You will see a choice between "From My Mac" and "iCloud"...select "From my Mac"
This solution worked for me!

HT1351 My fifth generation nano will no longer sync my address book from my Mac. It gives me an error message that "You have no contacts" and asks me if I want to create some. My address book is full of contacts. Sync works for everything else.

My 5th generation nano will no longer Sync my address book from my Mac. It gives me a message that I have no "Contacts", and asks if I want to create some. My address book is full of contacts, but for some reason it thinks it is empty. All the other sync operations work fine including iCal. My Mac is running OS X 10.7.4.

It sounds like all of your contacts on your Mac running Lion are actually stored up in iCloud.
Several users running Mac OS X Lion and now ML (and iCloud) have no longer been able to "sync" contacts over to their older iPods models.
A work around is to export all of your contacts out of Address Book as vCards and them copy these vCards into your iPod's Contacts folder. You'll need to have the Enable Disk Use option ticked from under the iPod's Summary tab in order to browse out to the iPod's Contacts folder via the Finder.
Using your iPod as a storage drive
That's the only "solution" I have been able to use to get contacts to sync/appear on my 5G iPod Video.

My 2nd gen IPOD touch will no longer sync with itunes.

My 2nd gen IPOD touch will no longer sync with itunes. it tells me it cannot read the contents of the ipod then it says the ipod software server cannot be contacted. Any suggestions?

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem
Then try restoring again.

TS3697 I am receiving an error message(iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPhone "Peter's iPhone". Do you want to keep or remove photos previously synced to your iPhone") I am trying to download pics from my computer to my iPhone. Any ideas? Peter

When I went to download some pics (originally taken with my iphone 4S) from my computer back to my iPhone I got the following error message: "iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPhone "Peter's iPhone". Do you want to keep or remove photos previosly synced to your iPhone?"
Coincidentally, my wife just purchased an iPhone 4S and syncs to iTunes on the same computer.
Any ideas?
Peter

The "best" way to handle it, if you want to keep everything separate, is to create separate user accounts on the computer. make sure you log into your account on the computer before you attempt to sync your phone and log out when you're done using the computer.
Though it's possible to sync both of them to the same iTunes library, and even share an account for the iTunes store, you're inviting confusion and possible data loss (as you've discovered already). Best to just use separate user accounts on the computer. That also gives you the benefit of not polluting the other persons browser favorites, contacts, etc.

Another major Apple mistake - Outlook will no longer sync to iPhone 4

I have had my iPhone4 for almost a month now and it has os4.0.1 firmware. And my PC is running XP Pro with all updates as well as iTunes 9.2.1.5.
After missing several important meetings, I realized that changes made on either the iP4 or PC were NOT being synced. (And I thought it was just me forgetting to put stuff in Outlook or on the iP4.)
This has really put back my fear factor in Apple's ability to understand and support the business community properly. They had this problem back on iP3g with v2.2 firmware, but it was fixed. I began to rely on sync 100% for everything again.
Now, it's all gone down the tubes again. I've noticed the following:
1) any changes made to Outlook on PC or iP4 are not being synced on the other
2) many pictures on existing contacts have dissappeared on the iP4
3) pictures added back on iP4 frequently dissappear again after a sync
4) adding or changing contact pictures on PC are not synced to iP4 and existing picture is removed
I don't know if it's iTunes or the iPhone software. BTW, I installed os4.0.1 on my old iPhone3g and tried to sync. Guess what? It doesn't work.
However, I remember really giving the new iP4 (os4.0) a pretty good going over when I got it to make sure that things synced properly and I felt confident that nothing was broken. But since then I've updated to os4.0.1 and at least one update of iTunes since then.

Yes, I did read the title.
The sync was working between Outlook and the iPhone at one point.
The Apple supplied SW (OS and iTunes) changed, and the sync stopped working. If Outlook had changed, that probably would be where the fault lies, but because it’s the Apple supplied SW that changed and the sync stopped working, that’s the most likely cause of the problem.
Simple troubleshooting logic.
Notice that the OP did a further testing where he/she rolled back to an older version of iTunes, and the sync works with that version. A later version of the same (Apple) SW does not.
Fair enough. But at the same time, I have the lastest itunes version and the lastest ip4 OS and I am syncing my outlook with no problems. Maybe the OP's computer downloaded the lastest version of itunes incorrectly. Granted, I am not an expect in all these hardware/software technologies. I am just saying that the problems he/she was having could lie elsewhere and not with Apple.
Yeah, it's certainly possible, but given the situation, and the testing that the OP has done, not likely.
I just want Apple’s products to work. And I really don’t understand why some people can’t seem to deal with the fact that Outlook synchronisation is crucial.
Everybody want what they purchase to work. I could see their frustration when something does not work. People should come into these forums asking for help. It does not do any good to whine or play the blaming game. Like John said, we are getting tired of people complaining and whining about their products not working. If they have a problem, post the problem and we will try to help.
And, yes, I agree, people do come on here and complain, sometimes quite rationally, sometimes not. It's better to just state the problem and ask for help. The OP sort of did that, but the title was a bit inflammatory. I'd have probably titled it "iPhone 4 will no longer sync to Outlook", and left off the editorial at the beginning.
There's a level of frustration that can creep in here, of course. When something works fine for a long time and then suddenly stops working, (and especially if you miss business calls because of that problem) - it can push people over the edge.
I hope that this synchronisation issue does get fixed. I'd love to log in to the board one day and see that people have downloaded a new update (either to iOS or iTunes) and that they can now reliably connect between Outlook and their phone.

Guys, I found another user and what he said to do worked!!! I have copied the information below:
This was 1 of the things that happend to me too, the other one was that at the bottom of the itunes page were it says all the memory info, it marked that I had over 3gb of other memory wich I didn't.
Anyways what I did was to unmark the calendar, contacts etc. ( so that they wont sync with the computer ), pressed apply, then I marked all of them again, apply again and for last I pressed Sync wich is at the bottom right coner by the apply botton.
I'm not sure that had anything to do with it but it worked, my music appeard both of my itunes playlists and the ones I bought in itunes. Also the other memory dissapeard and it's all good.
I'm not sure this will help you but thats my 5 cents, if the problem continues its better to call customer service and ask for a technician.
Hope your problem gets solved. Have a nice day.

80GB Classic will no longer sync with Outlook

I have a 80GB Classic that will no longer sync my Outlook contacts or calender. It will sync everything else, music, movies, games, but than it just hangs. It will say that it is syncing and not to disconnect, but it will stay that way for hours and not do anything. I also have a 64GB touch that sync with the same library and the touch sync just fine. Does anybody have any ideals or suggestions?
Thanks!

Did some searches, but did not come up with anything regarding your specific issue (the original one, the grey 'waiting' problem is quite common). If no other ofrum users chime in, it is indeed time to contact Apple / iTunes Store support.
If you have not yet one so, Try to Reset your device. Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off that shows up first).
You could also try to re-download one or two apps, just to see if anything changes. Log in to the iTunes Store, go to the Purchases section and download from the list of past purchases or free apps.
Sorry I wasn't of better help. Good luck.

Ipod will no longer sync to Itunes ??

My Ipod which Ive had for about 6 months has recently decided it will no longer sync to my Itunes so I cannot update the music. It recognises it is there and says it is syncing then comes up with the message 'The Ipod cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (13019)'
Any help would be greatly appreciated as Im going travelling next week and am fed up of listening to the same music!

Hello Amoebi,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Do you sync any other iPods with your iTunes library? I ask, because usually this error is only seen on iPod Touches and iPhones. Here is the Apple support document related to it.

IPod will no longer sync podcasts from iTunes store

Both our iPod and iPod Nano will no longer sync podcasts. We have downloaded new music, which will sync, but not the new podcasts from the iTunes store. iTunes indicates that it is syncing (which takes about 1 second) but the podcasts are not synced.
We have deleted all the existing podcasts and downloaded a single new one, with no change in the problem. We have tried both iPods and the result is the same.
We are running ESET NOD32 version 3.0 for Anti-Virus. We have checked with ESET and performed the exceptions that are known to cause problems with iTunes, and there has been no change, except that iTunes no longer freezes, which it previously did.
Hopefully someone out there can help us.

easiest way i have found to resolve the issue is go into itunes while phone is plugged in. you will have a list of tabs across, summery, info, ringtones, music. select music and where it displays sync music unselect that and hit apply in the bottom right (dont worry your music should be saved on the computer) once the sync is complete re check the music sync option. ive noticed this to work 95% of the time......hope this helps
I Hope I Was Able To Help You Or Solve Your Question.

HT1351 my ipod classic will no longer sync any movies on latest version of itunes --- why?

Both of my iPods will no longer sync any movies. They always did before without any problem. I am using latest version of itunes. Any suggestions?

If you have an iBook G4, (PPC) you can't do much.
But if that is a MacBook (intel) you may be able to
upgrade the OS X, if the hardware is up to it...
Since there were about nine different build models
of MacBook (not powerpc iBook) to identify what
one you have would be the first step to knowing
what OS X and RAM upgrades it could use.
If the computer is not already at OS X 10.6.8,
it can't go online to get or use OS X 10.7.5. So,
when you more accurately describe the 'Book,
detailed information is available.
When you find the serial number, there is a web
page that can be used to identify by serial no.
http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
That'd be a first step. Or even the Model number
which should be visible on the outer case by hinge.
Good luck & happy computing!

My ipod nano will no longer sync with itunes since i have purchased an iphone 4s and synced it with itunes.

My ipod nano will no longer sync with itunes since i purchased an iphone 4s and synced the phone with itunes. When I plug my ipod into my imac, it does not even read or recognize my ipod. What do i do?

Are you using the original cable that came with Nano and not your iPhone's cable? Have you worked through the troubleshooting in this Apple support document?
