Curious... Syncing Issues Between iPhone and iTunes?

Just curious... the past several months I have noted various concerns around "syncing" between iPhone and iTunes... yet don't recall any mention of whether it occurs between MAC OS or WIN hardware (desktops and or laptops). Furthermore, I am interested if anyone can comment whether these sync issues occurs mostly on TIGER or LEOPARD OS when accessing iTUNES. (Guess I should pay more attention to the noted OS field.
I ask because I am considering an upgrade to LEOPARD by end of month and don't want to jeopardize my syncing to my iPhone if it is a LEOPARD related issue. Thank you

I'm running Leopard and I've never experienced any sync issues.
These discussions include mostly problems, which is what these discussions are for - a user to user support forum for technical support issues and questions.
Which particular issue are you referring to?
Before installing a major OS X upgrade such as Leopard over a previous OS X version, it is a good idea to create or update your existing backup of important data stored on your computer's hard drive - including your iTunes library, photos, contact info, calendar events, documents, etc. I've never experienced any problems installing a major OS X upgrade over a previous OS X version, but I always update my computer's backup immediately beforehand to be on the safe side.

Major sync issues between iphone and itunes + outlook

I have an iphone 5, mistakenly pushed the button to update to ios7, got a new window pc with win8 and office13, and mistakenly again got updated itunes 11.1.3...after many years of pretty seamless itunes/outlook calendar/contacts/podcasts/ etc etc syncing experiences, now itunes doesn't sync playlists with my phone, constantly wipes out my podcasts even though i chose "no sync with podcast", doesn't sync into outlook calendar/contacts/etc at all. i tried to roll back to itunes 10.7 (used the tips from this forum), but it says my phone won't work with versions older than itunes 11. it's like nobody's able to talk to anyone any more. what's going on????

Sync problem between iPhone and iTunes (Music&Books)

Hello, I have a synchronization problem between the macbook and iPhone 5S. On the macbook I've Maverik updated and also the Iphone is updated.
First problem: the timing so long, especially at the step of applications, compared to when it was fast, applications have not changed.
Second problem: the music, I flagged "synchronizes the selected music" but all the flags on the selected artists are missing, despite what the music is on iPhone . I tried to flag again on itunes but all song was duplicate in Iphone.
Third problem: the books, it happens the same music.
The problem does not occur with the photo with the ringtones and videos.
I've tried everything from simple restart of the mac and the iPhone, checked and updated macbook, iPhone and itunes. Repaired permissions on the mac.
What can I do?
thanks
Bye
Ciao, da un po' di giorni ho un problema di sincronizzazione fra il macbook e l' Iphone 5S. Sul macbook ho Maverik aggiornato e anche il telefono non JB è aggiornato.
Primo problema: la sincronizzazione dura tanto, sopratutto allo step delle applicazioni, rispetto a quando era veloce le applicazioni non sono cambiate.
Secondo problema: la musica, ho flaggato "sincronizza la musica selezionata" ma sono spariti tutti i flag sugli artisti selezionati, ciò nonostante la musica è presente sull' iphone. Ho provato a riselezionarli e me li duplica tutti.
Terzo problema: i libri, succede la stessa della musica.
Il problema non si manifesta con le foto con le suonerie e i video.
Ho provato di tutto a partire dal semplice riavvio del mac e del telefono, controllato e aggiornato macbook, telefono e itunes. Riparato permessi sul mac.
Cosa posso fare?
grazie
ciao

Ical sync issue between Iphone and Ipad

I seem to be having issues syncing events between my Iphone to my Ipad. icloud is enabled on both and it appears that all the calendars are enabled for syncing. Any help with this would be appreciated.

I'm having this issue as well. I have tried the add new account as was mentioned in other posts (going through the Advanced settings and changing the server location), but it appears that I would be duplicating accounts, and "that is not supported". I also am having issues with alerts not going to me, but to my husband (who has a google.com email). When I check the Address Book to see what the main contact card is, it shows my information, yet I am not receiving alerts and my email is not an option to select. When I changed my Apple Id, he received the confirmation email (as did I). What do I need to do to: 1) get alerts to come to me and not my husband and 2) sync my iCal with macbook, iPhone, and iPad? Thanks!

ICloud Sync issues between iPhone and MacBook

I have a peculiar problem. I have iCloud turned on for Contacts, Calendar and Notes between my iPhone 6P and my MacBookPro running OS X 10.10.2. If I make a change or add an entry on the MBP, it does not show up on the iPhone until I make a change to something on the iPhone, then the iPhone changes go to the MBP, and the MBP changes then, and only then, appear on the iPhone.
I have the same iCloud account on both devices. Very confused. (I have not done anything regarding Family Sharing, and I do have the iCloud drive turned on.)
Any clues?

Sync Apps between iPhone and ITunes before install of IOS6?

I use an IPhone 4. I always purchase my apps directly from the IPhone, and never from my computer.
The consequence is that there is no sync whatsoever between the actual screens/folders/apps on the IPhone and what is displayed on ITunes, in the TAB "apps".
Last year, when I installed IOS 5, I killed all my apps on the IPhone, and it took weeks to re-install my apps and the folders.
I am not prepared to suffer this exercise again, and I am even considering to skip the install of IOS 6 to avoid this pain.
How can I mirror the content of my IPhone such that the apps and the folders content/position actually present in the phone are memorized in Itunes?
Your help would be much appreciated.
Patrick

I figured out to click on the "transfer purchases" to get my apps synced.
Now I have a new question. How do I delete apps from the list that I do NOT want to install?
Thanks.

Problems syncing podcasts between iPhone and iTunes

Hi
I have just upgraded from an iPhone 3gs to an iPhone 4s. However I am now experiencing problems sycing podcasts through iTunes. When I have played a podcast on the iPhone and then sync it still shows as unplayed on iTunes. The played podcasts also remain on the iPhone after the sync even though I have set it to only sync unplayed podcasts.
Appreciate any advice - this has only started happening since getting the iPhone 4s (it worked perfectly on the 3gs).
Thanks in advance

Bump.
Anyone provide any insight into this?
Thanks and I look forward to your reply.

HT1386 Sync issues between iPhone and Outlook

My contacts are not syncing over to my iPhone, even though it says they will do so automatically. I also now have duplicates and triplets of the contacts. Any ideas on how to correct both of these issues?

I have experienced the same problem with Outlook 2007 and the most recent i phone purchased late last year. Have you had a succesful reply as i do not want to delete my duplicates just to have the same problem repeat itself again?

Syncing issues between iPhone and Outlook 2003

After syncing my iPhone with my Outlook contacts, I realized that some of my contacts were doubling up - both in Outlook and on the iPhone. Per a friend's instructions, I had to go in and manually delete the doubles in Outlook and did the same thing on my iPhone. It's been about a week now since I last synced and suddenly I started realizing that more and more of my contacts are missing!! Is there anything i can do to retrieve them?
Thank you!

HT1296 Syncing issues between iPhone and Outlook contacts

I'm trying to sync my Outlook 2010 contacts with my iPhone (iOS6.1.3) using iTunes (11.0.1.12). I no longer have the option under the iTunes Info tab to "Sync contacts from" so I can't select Outlook. At one point, it was there. It now states that the contacts are being synced with iPhone over the air from iCloud, but I have no other options or way to change this. What can be done to fix this? Thanks.

Problem solved- I needed to uncheck the option under Settings/iCloud on the iPhone to sync the contacts with iCloud. With this turned off, I get the option again to sync with Outlook under the Info tab in iTunes.

How to sync iCal between iPhone and MacBookPro without MobileMe?

Hello,
How can I sync iCal between iPhone and MacBookPro without MobileMe?
I'm still using MobileMe, but I will stop soon.
I'm using my iPhone in India a lot to create new events or to add new contacts. At the end of the day I would like to able to sync it with my MacBookPro without using MobileMe. Internet Connection is often very bad in that area. The iPhone I only use without UMTS and all that Data Transfering stuff. Best for me would be to sync directly by wire or Bluetooth if possible. If you have a solution with and without Internet Connection, that would be very helpfull to me.

On the Mac, in iTunes with iPhone attached, click on the iPhone section. Go to the "info" tab. There you will see a list of items that can be synced. Make sure that "sync addressbook contacts" is checked, along with the appropriate choices under it.
Don't know what else to say, it works fine here.
Hope this helps.

Pics flow between iPhone and itunes

I want to activate the pics flow between my iPhone and iTunes on the PC. When i click on " pics flow" in options it's ask me an "URL".
How to do it?
Thanks!

I checked again last night, and now iTunes matched the phone settings, saying zero space was available. I had nearly 20 gigs of "Other" data :/
So I erased all settings/data on the iPhone and restored from an iCloud backup from last week, and now everything seems fine, with over 15 GB of available space.

Files between iPhone and iTunes not syncronized

I synchronised my iPhone and iTunes. The iPhone give me this info after the synchronisation :
"2 elements were not synchronized. Consult iTunes to know more."
Wher i go in iTunes to know more.
Thank you !
MC

Hello, ckuan!
That's what I usually do: I connect my iPhone to my Mac and I sync it.
However, the "11 elements were not synchronized..." only appears on my iPhone. It tells me to look for more information on iTunes, but that's exactly the point: nothing shows on iTunes.
