Edit a Contact in iPhone Sync Then lose the new data

Sync - What does it mean in regards to the iPhone?
I've edit some contacts in my iPhone then sync. After I check the iphone and the newly edited contacts are exactly what was in Entourage. I went back to redit them, change the date and still get the same results.
Please help....

One thing that might help out.
If you create a new contact on the iphone, does it sync into ical or entourage.
If not, try resetting sync history using isync in your programs folder. (Sync history is in the isync preferences.)
Then try syncing again.
Here is an article from the apple support website that might help out.

Bought the new iphone and tried to restore it to my old iphone settings. It synced some of the old data onto it, but then it froze and continues to. It says to restore it but I'm afraid to lose my contacts. Will the contacts be lost?

It says to restore it and erase everything, but I'm afraid to lose my contacts. Will the contacts be lost or will they be there when I sync it back up?

Hello timotim56,
This can be achieved by removing the device via iCloud.com

I just purchased an iPhone 5 and my phone has many duplicate contacts on it. I want to edit my contact list that's saved on the cloud and then replace the contacts on my phone with the edited list. I have spent hours but no success yet.

Okay
So when you edit in iCloud you are not seeing an update on your iphone?. I just did a test in iCloud.com and it changed my iPhone contact list in less than 1 second. So iCloud is functioning fine.
If you delete all the contacts on your iPhone and if you are properly synced they will all be wiped out on iCloud.....ugh! So let's not do that...
Your plan should be to make all the changes in iCloud and have them flow down to your iPhone. That sounds what you are trying to do anyway.
So. if you delete a contact in iCloud or edit a contact in iCloud then you are not seeing the changes on your iPhone?
If so then they are not properly synced..... but I wonder how you have any contacts in iCloud.
Let me know if you are seeing any changes, if mot then we can review the syncing set-up.

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you have been previously using iCloud with your old phone, then when you login to your iCloud account with your new phone all the data from the services you were using will be added to your new phone.

Extract from one of our senior participant.
Syncing with new computer
1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.

If you transfer any iTunes content to the iPhone from an iTunes library on another computer, all iTunes content on the iPhone will be erased first with a warning message provided indicating this beforehand.
Authorize the different computer with your Apple ID with iTunes. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, right click on the iPhone under Devices in the iTunes source list and at the menu window that appears, select Transfer Purchases. This will transfer all apps on your iPhone to the iTunes library.

The collum to the right listed similar problems. The solution appears to be that under smtp outgoing settings the user name and password are listed as optional. I have not plugged in the information and it seems to be working. However from my office it always allowed the relaying. The true test will be when I try to respond later from the road.
Thank you for your help.

Thanks

The phone MUST have a SIM present in order for activation to complete. The process will not finish otherwise.
For the OP:
If the iPhone 5 is locked to a carrier, you must use a SIM from that same carrier. Otherwise I think you would be OK borrowing the SIM to activate the phone.

Hey - if I restore my iPhone will I lose the music I've purchased from it?

A restore will erase your iTunes media but you can re download iTunes purchases without being charged again.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
"With iTunes 10.3 and iOS 4.3.3 or later, you can download your previous purchases directly to your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or computer.1"

I have an iPhone 4. Am I able to sync this to the new iPad with Retina Display?

I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1.1. Am I able to sync this to the new iPad with Retina Display? I'm considering purchasing it!

The iPad will be $329 AUD if replaced via postage service or $309 AUD if replaced at an Apple Store. Yes they will give you the replacement and take your old iPad so I would suggest if you can back it up to iTunes so that you can restore the back up to the replacement.
