Editing Contact notes - strange sync issue

I made some changes to Contact notes on the iPod, and then synced back to my Powerbook. The changes have successfully updated (and then .mac synced to my other macs) but the altered contacts no longer appear on a search
I can see then in Contacts (scroll down, open, edit etc.) but the ones that I changed on the iPod can't be brought up by keying in part of the name
This was done a couple of days ago, before 1.1.2. I'll try deleting and recreating these contacts tonight, but wondered whether anyone else has found this problem

Update:
I managed to let the contacts update bij putting a space in the empty fields in the First Name column. But the notes who have text in them still aren't syncing. Someone has an idea?

What to do if black berry bold 9900 contacts not fully syncing with macbook pro?

what to do if black berry bold 9900 contacts not fully syncing with macbook pro?

thanks for the advice
I have an I phone 4S that is having almost the same problem, and only some of the newly added contact of the phone are added to the address book, so not a big difference, and its not a solution to get read of all products only because we use apple.

Disappearing Contacts, Mobile Me Sync Issues, Calendar crash-Answers??

I'll try to keep this post brief but hopefully it will help provide some possible answers for frustrated users experiencing the random complete wipe out of all contacts and calendar data when syncing with mobile me using either push or fetch. After several weeks of experiencing these random sync issues and spending several hours over several days between tech support calls with iPhone then Mobile Me support and then finally a genius bar appointment where the genius said he didn't have a clue and simply offered to replace my phone.
The next morning, SAME PROBLEMS... and through it all NO ONE could tell me why my sync was so randomly unreliable. Every other day for no apparent reason, my phone would suddenly lose all contacts and/or calendar data. (A few thousand contacts and two years of calendar data). It was both frustrating and strange—even stranger that Apple techs had no clue why and seemed to think no one else was having this issue.
I tried everything - complete restores, resets, deleting and re-adding the mobileme account, etc., etc., etc. One tech support person finally said, "good luck..." The others kept handing me off the higher levels of support... until finally they just said "we don't know why this is happening." I was waiting for someone to just say, "Look, we have issues with mobile me, so hang in there and eventually it will work." I can be patient and I still think the iphone is the greatest invention in recent years. But everybody I talked with at Apple seemed to think this should be working flawlessly.
I also started having a crash on the calendar anytime I tried to see the list view for "all calendars." This was frustrating because that's the best feature of the calendar app!
I was prepared to just return to syncing with my computer and wait for the software to improve between the phone and mobile me. Finally, last night I tried a few things that seem to be working... and for the first full day, mobile me is actually useful to me today. (my fingers are crossed!)
Here's what I did.
1. I minimized the number of calendars I was syncing - I have no idea if this affected the sync, but I was syncing eight calendars, now I'm down to four. (You can easily export a calendar and import those events back into a different calendar.)
2. I did a complete restore of the phone (not from a back up) and the VERY FIRST THING, I added mobile me and synced only the calendar (set to push.) This cleared up the random calendar crash in list view and also mobile me was pushing data rather reliably. After a few moments my entire calendar was on the phone and worked perfectly. New events were transferred quickly back and forth.
3. I then chose to sync my contacts through the computer rather than over the air. I fear that the contact sync was somehow messing up the whole communication process between the phone and the cloud. Someone suggested that the number of "groups" in contacts might have an impact on the sync issues as well. I didn't need my contacts to sync with the urgency of "push" so this works for me. Plus I have a lot of contacts and it's just faster over the cable.
4. I then GREATLY reduced the number of apps on my phone. I originally had about 27 and I only reinstalled 9 of them. I did this ONE AT A TIME - starting with the most necessary and useful... and after each install, I checked the functionality of the calendar and mobile me. No problems. Perhaps I was having an app conflict?
5. Then I reinstalled the rest of my content - music, podcasts, photos. Still no problems.
ONE of these steps actually worked, and I'm not sure which one. My guess is that one or more of my apps was conflicting in some way. OR possibly something with the contact sync... but for the last 24 hours the mobile me calendar sync using push has been consistently reliable and useful. (for the record, mobile me email has always worked perfectly for me.)
No one with tech support ever suggested to me that I could be having an application conflict or any other problems with calendars or contact groups, etc. I've spent many hours on this the past few weeks... and for the first time, my iphone seems to be working with mobile me correctly.
In reading many of these posts, it seems a lot of others are having similar problems... so hopefully these suggestions might be helpful. If you have any thoughts as to which of these solutions was the correct one, I would be interested in hearing your opinion.
Thanks!

Are your Address Book contacts and iCal calendars/calendar events on your Mac synced with your MobileMe online address book and calendar?
When you say this data is not synced with your iPhone, none of your MobileMe online data is transferred to your iPhone, or after the initial transfer of this data to your iPhone when you first turned contacts and calendars for over the air syncing with your MobileMe account on your iPhone, the data is not kept synchronized with the MobileMe "cloud"?

IPhone4 Contacts not being synced to MobileMe

This is odd.
I have found any contacts created on my iPhone4 are not being synced to MobileMe and also any of my Macs.
Which means I do not see them on the web contacts in MobileMe
or on my Macs.
But they do show up on my iPad.!!
The ones that are being created on the iPhone go into its group 'Contacts'
You can see this when you Nav to groups.
I am sure this used to work ??
Any one got any ideas
Thanks

Ok I found the problem
For some reason, under the Default Account in then Contacts settings on the iPhone, It was set to my Exchange account.
Adding contacts used to work, so it may be the recent update to the iOS changed it??
Anyway, changing it back to my mobileme account fixed the issue

HELP! Strange sync issue

This is by far the strangest problem I have come upon and
can't find anything in any forum discussing it. My site is
www.aloversscent.com. We are trying to put up 4 videos. I am
editing in FCP and compressing in Compressor to H.264 and then
making the files flv files to bring directly into Flash. All of
them are working fine except for our third episode, Operation Fox
Hunt. The audio sync is going off when the title cards come up,
about a 1/3 of the way through the video and only then. I went back
and made new exports where I tried filling in the blank audio
pieces under the cards with Slugs, I tried creating the title in
LiveType and then transfering it over instead of using the FCP
title cards. But neither worked. The strange thing is they work
fine when I play them in Quicktime. It's only when they play in
Flash that they get out of sync. If you scrub through the timeline
they will sometimes match back up again but while playing they
always get out of sync. I have run out of answers and need help
bad. Please let me know if you have any ideas.

Naw, just tell us what your sequence settings are and what your original codecs are or were. It's easy to transcode or to shoot incompatible or wrong audio sampling rates.
Clip: HDV 1080i60, 1440x1080, Upper field first; Linear PCM 24-bit 44.1khz
Sequence setting: all standard easy setup for HDV 1080i60
The difference between 2 and 20 percent is a complete order of magnitude and that kind of discrepancy sends us to totally divergent debugging paths and wildly silly suggested workarounds.
You are right. My initial wrong judgement was based on which selection I thought I was seeing at the time.
If you convert, as Christina suggests, you may still need to alter the speed of your audio track to match the length of the video.
The audio is not the only problem. Even with no audio (just a video track extracted by QT or MpegStreamclip and saved as a self-contained movie) the video stops short; i.e. by minute 10 of a 10' clip material from earlier is still playing, and the rest is missing. All other apps see the video just fine.
I already tried converting the audio to the proper rate in QT and recombining the two. But again, this problem with the video is there with the audio stripped as well.
Oh, and also: the problem is there in the viewer as well, before adding it to the timeline.

Android 4.3 Upgrade causes contacts not to Sync

Recently AT&T has started forcing our Samsung GS3's to upgrade to Android version 4.3. When the devices upgrade, all activesync contacts are wiped from the phone and no longer sync. Wiping the device and re-attaching to the Mobility server does not fix. We were on version 1.2.5.299 when the problem first came to light and upgraded to GMS 2.0 upon suggestion from NTS. Still no help. Anyone else seeing this? If so, did you find a solution? Any ideas?

Apple contacts not all syncing to ipad, apple contacts not all syncing to ipad

Apple Contacts from my maverick laptop not syncing 100% to my iPad3. In particular "notes" in the address book - some are not there??

I've had the same problem. Updated my address book before I synced my phone for the first time. Then I had a hand full not sync to the phone. When I noticed, and updated the contact info on my phone, the next time I synced it erased from the phone. Haven't found much out yet. Hopefully it will fix in the next iPhone update.

Lotus Notes Traveler sync issues and problems

No device
Hello
I could connect my Palm Pre2 to our company's Lotus Notes Traveler successfully.
It is not as straight as on iPhone as my colleagues, the only point is to indicate completely the path to the Microsoft Exchange link, like:
https://mycompany.mylotusname.com/servlet/traveler/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync
Then using my lotusnotesID and the Internet Password made it working REAL FINE.
I could get my mailbox, agenda and contacts exchanged with the pre2, terrific!!!
Some limitations though:
1) Tasks and notes are unfortunately NOT WORKING at all.
2) the calendar does not synchronize more than two weeks in the past, but it seems that in the Pre2, it is a limitation for any Microsoft Exchange server. I have another MS Exchange account, not the lotus one, and the limitation is the same, in the past NOT OLDER than TWO WEEKS!!
(When i think that my Palm TX, Tungsten2, Palm W, etc, did synchronize 10 years of agenda, this is really sad that a new high tech device cannot make it!! I need to know what i have been doing last year or the year before in my professional life. iPhone sync shows EVERYTHING!!)
MAJOR PROBLEM IS FOLLOWING
This worked for about three weeks, and then I started to have a weird problem.
It started on some received mails, and now it does it on every mail, all mails are shows properly in the mail list in the mail program: received from M.smith, on May 22, "Dear M.XXXX i think ..." which shows the first words of the mail.
So top display is ok.
When i open the mail, it says "Retrieving Mail Text", it loops for 30 seconds back giving an error message and asking to try again. Trying again doesnot retrieve the body of the mail either.
==> NO WAY TO READ THE MAIL COMPLETELY!!
It worked fine for the first three weeks NO PROBLEM AT ALL!!
I have tried my Lotus Traveler account on an iPod and iPhone using the same MS Exchange configuration, and there
NO PROBLEM AT ALL.
So it is in the Palm Pre sync where something goes wrong.
I reset my PALM completely, and created a brand new user from scratch, reconnected it to the Lotus Traveler account and I got the same error, so it is not a matter of database too large in the Pre2 or something else.
It is INSIDE the PalmPre synergy sync itself.
Reading my mail from other sources like Google mail, or from a POP account works like a charm.
I don't know if someone at HP Webos can do something, but this is a message in a bottle.
Jame from France

Hi,
I don't know what happened, but one of a sudden, on Monday afternoon, everything worked back ok again.
I was about to show to a friend the famous message "cannot retrieve mail's body", but then the mail's body was retrieved from God knows where and it came direct on my pre screen.
5 minutes before it didn't work, 5 minutes later it did work.
I didnot change anything to my profile or pre or my lotus account.
I just don't understand why this worked again.
The only difference I can think of, but I am not 100% sure, is that when I "transfer" a mail to someone else; the message I send is truncated generally just after the list of the mail recipients;
Sorry not to be able to say more than that, but it is weird for me too, how did it come to work?!?

Strange sync issue

Hi all. I'd appreciate some help.
I am capturing live in Quicktime from two sources: a remote Canon HV40 (firewire) and our recording studio CD burner (optical digital). This seemed to work fine at first, although I had to resync the audio and video, since the firewire has about 18 frames of latency. It was no problem to do that in FCP.
Here is the problem: I had to switch which CD burner I capture from, and it outputs a 24-bit 16 khz stream. The captured QT movie plays just fine by itself. If I drop that QT movie into FCP, the video seems to run too slowly, and is not complete. If this were a 30 minute movie, it would appear to be 30 minutes in FCP, and the audio would play normally, but the video would only get to 24 minutes or so. The rest is just missing. Of course, this means that the audio and video start out 18 frames out of sync (due to the latency) but gets to be minutes out of sync by the end.
If I transcode to something like Prores, the resulting movie works fine in FCP. But I would like to avoid that step, and just use the captured HDV movie file.
Thanks for the help.

IPod touch strange sync issue

I just got a new macbook pro and I needed to transfer my iTunes info from a PC to and external formated for PCs to the Mac.
I got everything into iTunes and the music and videos will play fine without the external. All of the files are on the Mac.
However, when I try syncing my 30GB touch iTunes says I need about 24GB more space.
This cannot be true because iTunes says I have about 31GB of stuff and I unchecked a lot of things.
I thought about restoring but I'd rather not loose all the info on my apps.
Is there some reason why iTunes would be trying to add all my music to what I already had instead of replacing it and how to I stop it?
Thanks.

- When you change syncing computers you have restore the iPod on the new computer from a backup of the iPod with all apps in the iTunes library. Synced media like apps and music are not in the backup.
- If you d id, how much is in the "other" category as shown in the colored bargraph in iTunes? If greater that about 1 GB that indicates corrupted file and a restore is necessary.

Contacts and calendar syncing issue

I have both an iPhone 3G and 3Gs with the latest software.
In the past, if I had conflicting or different contacts in either my address book or iPhone, iTunes would ask me which is correct before syncing. Now, it just syncs whatever it thinks is correct.
Does anyone know how to activate the warning window that asks me which contact is correct?
I've had a few contacts already deleted and I'm sick of it.
Automatically syncing is turned off both on the info tab and on the preferences. None of the "Advanced" options are checked on the Info tab...
I have no idea why iTunes stopped asking me which contact / calendar is correct.
Help!

That warning dialog is actually managed by iSync. Launch Applications > iSync, select iSync menu > Preferences, check the box to Show Data Change Alert... and set the pop-up to 'any'.

Notes application sync issues

Hello, i have installed Yosemite from the beginning and the “Notes" application shows the list of all my notes as usual, but when i click on the notes, some notes content are shown and some not. I can see the inside of the most recent notes, and the older ones are empty. I know that the information is safe and stored in iCloud because i have reinstalled the iPhone and i can read all the notes with it. I made a Yosemite reinstall again hoping to fix the error, but it has the same problem. How can it be solved in order to to see all my notes in the Macbook? Thanks in advance.
Yours.
Panther Cat.

Solved, i answer myself: after a few months, i made a clean reinstall of my OS X downloading a new copy of Yosemite, that solved the issue. Maybe, the previous copy was damaged somehow and that was the cause of the synchronization error. Everything works perfectly now.
Yours.

IOS Update did not solve syncing issue

I'm still having problems with my playlists and art cover on my iPad 2 and my iPhone 4. On my iPad I can't see most of the artwork, but all playlists sync just fine. On my iPhone, artwork syncs just fine, but I can't find iTunes playlists (Top 25, Recently added, etc.). I'm running itunes 10.6.3 on my Mac, iOS 5.1.1 on iPad and iPhone.

In my case I managed to fix it by means of this article:
http://jonsview.com/how-to-setup-os-x-10-9-as-a-l2tp-vpn-server-without-apples-s erver-app
And then especially the part about using an old version of Racoon (from Mountain Lion for example) to replace the current apparent defunct one in Mavericks...

Editing 'Contacts' not showing 'Twitter' option?

....Running latest software on 4s
When I go to add a new contact, then 'add field' . I am no longer getting 'Twitter' as an option (to add the persons twitter address) I am just getting IMessage now?
Other previous contacts DO have this option?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Solved! I installed contacts+ and afterwards my contacts are there. Then I found in the stock contacts I had to change settings>contacts>contacts to display. It has to be set to All Contacts.

BB10 - Link does not sync new Contact note entries and crashes

Hi - can anyone help.
Link 1.1.1.26 syncs new entries on both my Windows 7 PC and Q10 both ways, including any text in the Notes field. But adding or changing a Note to an existing entry does not sync.
In Link Settings I have Contacts (and Calender) ticked (blue box) but when I click on Configure next to either, to check the details of the sync, Link crashes and has to be closed via the Task Manager.
Many thanks
John Sansom
PS. Since writing the original post I have managed to get one set of Contact Notes to sync - from the PC to the BB - I was doing a manual Sync via Link. But it did not work the other way round on that occasion, and has not worked either way since that.

same with me. I have installes skype on pc and windows phone. the contact list is not the same? some contacts are missing on one device and the other device.I have signed in on both devices with same microsoft account.lates skype version cheked.
