Facebook app is not syncing contacts/bday calendar anymore..

Yesterday I've noticed that my sisters birthday is gone from my calendar.
Half of birthdays were taken from facebook contacts, so i've tried to resync it. After resync I was left with 2 facebook contacts, all other entries from facebook were gone.
I've tried resync again for several times, tried to re-install facebook app, no luck..
How to full-sync all facebook contacts to my iphone again?
iOS 6.1.4
facebook app 202949
facebook app is allowed to access calendar and contacts and vice versa
What i am doing wrong?

You are doing nothing wrong. Some setting changed at Facebook over the weekend and now it's affecting multiple devices. See here for more detail.

ICloud not syncing Contacts or Calendar events on iOS 5 devices after MobileMe migration

On either of my devices (iPhone 4 and iPad 2) I cannot get my contacts or calendar events to appear correctly, both devices crash the contacts or calendars apps when I access them.
I first upgraded to ios5 and iTunes 10.5 (Which bricked my iPhone 5 times in a row with error 3012)
I then migrated from MobileMe to iCloud and all of my Contacts/Calendars are appearing correctly online at iCloud.com. However my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 will simply refuse to sync with the contacts and calendars...
My iPhone and iPad literally freeze when I try disable the iCloud services, I have restored both devices numberous times and started the iCloud service in MANY different steps. I have even used both my mac and PC to restore my devices.
I have been trying to fix this for two days now, I am extremely disapointed with iCloud, and I sorely wished I had of stayed with my MobileMe service. I initally thought this would be server contact issues, but there HAS to be something wrong with my devices, or sync services.
Surely other users have encounted this error, I would love to know the strategies used to resolve this.

I thought I might post here and update my solution thus far..
1. Restored my iPhone 4 and iPad 2, and did not select iCloud.
2. iCloud working fine on the macbook pro, so I exported my contacts from iCloud to the vCards.
3. Turned icloud contacts off on my macbook pro (iCloud calendars remained on)
4. Synced iPhone 4 and iPad 2 with my macbook pro
5. now my iOS 5 devices sync my contacts and calendar locally with my macbook pro
6. Turned on iCloud only for my email, notes and documents.
Word to the wise: Stay clear of iCloud, WAY too many issues, especially for MobileMe migration customers.

Can Not Sync Contacts and Calendar to iPhone Since iTunes Upgrade to 7.6

Hello, I have an iPhone and iTunes installed on my PC--which is running Windows XP Home Edition 2002 SP2, and I only sync my Contacts and Calendar using the sync functionality through iTunes and MS Outlook 2007. I was on iTunes 7.4 and everything worked fine. I just upgraded to iTunes 7.6, and now I can not get my new contacts and calendar info from Outlook to sync with my iPhone anymore. I get this error message:
The program "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\bin\OutlookSyncClient.exe" --sync com.apple.Outlook --entitynames com.apple.calendars.Attendee,com.apple.calendars.Calendar,com.apple.calendars.D isplayAlarm,com.apple.calendars.Event,com.apple.calendars.Organizer,com.apple.ca lendars.Recurrence,com.apple.calendars.Task caused a problem and is going to close.
Is anyone familiar or know of the solution?
Thanks!

Thanks, but as I've said I've tried all of that described in the reference you've kindly given. I don't have a local cache, and hence no PST files. The only one I have is an OST file which I have checked for integrity using the Microsoft supplied tools. I have switched to local PST (a suggestion given in another thread), and found that not to work either, so have switched back to non cached. I have even renamed the OST file to .BAK, and had it rebuilt. Again to no avail. There is a bona fide bug here. The http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306635 article does only say "This may be due to the format of the Outlook Personal Storage File (.PST)", so I guess as the operative word is "may", its not a guarantee of this being the solution.
Also I'm not syncing my contacts, I'm only doing the calendar nothing else.
Additionally, this used to work, so your hypothesis, of the "bad data", being synced in 7.6 and then not being able to be subsequently budged is a definate goer I think. But the trick would be to work out what the bad data is. I'm assuming the source of the bad data is the iphone, so I've deleted old calendar in outlook entries I know to have come from the iPhone, that has, as yet, been a fruitless exercise.
I do thank you though for your help though, I'll be scouring the internet for any tidbits of information which might help, and I'll post them back here if I find the solution, or anything which may help others unfortunate enough to be in this situation.

5th gen iPod Classic will not sync contacts or calendars with itunes 9

I get the following window message when selection contacts to sycn - "iTunes will no longer sync contacts to ipod "MiPod Classic 80". Would you like iTunes to remove contacts previously copied to you ipod?"
Then is has two button choices (Don't remove contact) and (Remove Contacts).
When trying to select calendars I get a window state something like... You can no calendars to sync. Would you like to open iCal to create some. Then it give me a button to do so.
I do have calendars.
Anyone else have this problem?

I have the same problem. When I tell iTunes to sync Contacts, no contacts show up. It asks if I want to add contacts to my Address Book, but when I click okay, all of my 400+ contacts appear as normal in the Address Book. I just can't get iTunes to recognize that I have contacts in my address book.
I think calendars are also missing, but I'm no longer syncing calendars, so I haven't really messed with that.
I actually think the problem started when I upgraded to Snow Leopard, but I don't usually mess with my contacts sync settings, so it could've been a problem prior to that. I just upgraded to iTunes 9 last night, and that did not fix the problem.

ICloud not syncing Contacts or Calendar to iPhone 4S.

On Saturday, I noticed my Contacts were blank on my 4S...the screen had the blue gray bar at the top with the "+" in the upper right and then where the contacts should be was white. My calendar looked correct; however, my appointments were gone. I verified my information on icloud.com and everything was backed up. I contacted Tech Support and after three hours with a level 2 senior rep, I was directed to get a new phone from the Apple store.
It turns out that it wasn't my phone afterall...it's actually iCloud not pushing my contacts or calendar to my 4S. The Genius bar, after over an hour, had to turn off iCloud on my 4S and my MacBook Air which is now causing me to sync with iTunes via a cable. Has anyone else seen this issue? Any fix?

Alright. So...this worked for me too. Finally...and no hlep from the apple store OR apple care! Got a new phone from apple store...FAIL...no call back from Sr. Tech...FAIL.
So...I did the following:
On the phone first:
1) Switch to airplane mode
2) Reboot phone by holding top key and front button until apple logo appears (not red slider to turn off phone)
3) Settings - iCloud - Turn contacts OFF - Delete From Phone (make sure you get a check mark after completion)
Then on the Mac:
4) Open address book on mac
5) Command + A to select all contacts in address book...double tap trackpad and export as V card
6) Command + A to select all contacts in address book...goto Edit...drop down menu and choose delete cards
7) Verify all are deleted on iCloud because the address book is synced to my iCloud account
8) Drag and drop vcard backup back into all contacts in address book or choose import from File menu in address book
9) Verify all contacts were back on iCloud by visiting iCloud on my computer's browser
Back to the phone:
10) Turn Airplane mode off...make sure I connected to my WiFi network
11) Settings - iCloud - Turn contacts ON
Voila! Got 483 of my 488 contacts...good enough for me...only had 99 to 149 for the past month!!!!
OH - This also fixed my calendar issue...all my appointments are back!
Hope this helps somebody!

Why is my iPad not syncing contacts and calendars?

I am baffled. When I look at the settings on my iPad it says that it is set to sync these things with my computer. When I plug it into iTunes, I get the message from iTunes that my settings for contacts and calendars are being automatically synced with iCloud, and that syncing through the computer may generate double entries. However, it is NOT syncing automatically. My iPhone was syncing, but does not have the latest entries on my computer calendar. Can someone tell me how to get both devices to sync automatically? Also, how soon should the syncing take place when a new entry is made? Thanks, Barbara

Z30 & BB Link not syncing Contacts and Calendar with Outlook 2010

Just loaded Outlook 2010 and went to sync my Z30 with BB Link.
1st attempt :
Configuration : Contacts : 2 way sync : Notify me when there are any conflicts
Calendar : 2 Way sync : Always use device data
Result :
No sync with Contacts
No sync with Calendar
(Also, Contacts disappeared until I restarted device.)
2nd attempt :
Same config. however no disappearing contacts this time.
Started sync at 6PM and at 8PM the sync appeared to have hung as it did nothing and there was no indication of any activity.
Result :
No sync & restarted Link and logged in again to try again.
3rd attempt :
Changed to one way from device to computer
Added Outlook to the files it looks in even though it already says it does that in the config. Section of the contacts.
Result : Still no contacts or calendar thought it showed it was doing the transfer.
After each of these I have shut down Outlook in case a restart would show the contacts.
Running out of ideas here.

Mind sharing the version of your OS and BlackBerry Link?

ICloud will not sync contacts and calendar events from my iPhone to my macbook pro.

Only a few contacts are displayed on my Macbook and no calendar events are displayed. Any suggestions?

Check that you have entered the information into an iCloud group and not an On My Mac group, only information in iCloud groups will sync.

ITunes 7.3.2 Will Not Sync Contacts or Calendars to 5G iPod

I have four ipods of various flavours that I sync via iTunes. On my new 5G iPod I try to sync the contacts and it tells me that there are none, open Address Book and create some. Of course, Address Book is full and it syncs just fine with the iPod Photo, the 4G iPod and the Nano. Same happens with iCal, it says there are no calendars, open iCal and create one. Everything else syncs to the 5G without a problem. I am in the process of completing a restore on the iPod as it came from the Apple Store with a Windows format (yuck) and I had reset it initially to be a Mac format device and thought maybe something wasn't quite right. Anyone with any thoughts?
Connection is USB2 to the PowerMac same as every other iPod. I used to use FireWire but the Nano only worked with USB so I switched. Too bad, FW is a much better transport mode.

A solution was posted a few days ago on the AppleTV forum -- at least it solved my problems with both iPod and Apple TV. Whether Apple has addressed it or not, its technicians are clearly aware that the new version of iTunes has a problem recognizing external devices. Below is the solution posted the other day on the AppleTV forum. (If it helps any, the senior technician who worked with me is: Ryan, 800-409-5381x2175#
----- posted by Brad:
I went through all the troubleshooting guideliness as outlined in the "Service and Support" section of the AppleTV help section/web page. Short of reinstalling iTunes, I opted to call AppleCare instead.
Assuming you have access to your wireless network and are able to view movie trailers, do the following:
1. From the main AppleTV menu, go to Sources.
2. Select Synching.
3. Select Change iTunes Library, then Continue.
Disregard the warning about it wiping out the content on your AppleTV.
4. Write down the new number code, go back to iTunes, and presto, your AppleTV now appears in the DEVICES list in iTunes.
As was explained to me, the latest/greatest iTunes update has a problem with AppleTV. It needs to be redirected to your iTunes again. AppleTV thinks that the new iTunes is an entirely new entity and doesn't exactly recognize it as an update. With regard to the warning when changing iTunes libraries, so long as it's the same computer you are connected to with the same iTunes library, it will simply update and start synching new content you may have put into your iTunes from the last time AppleTV synched. It will not wipe the hard drive on the AppleTV clean. That's what I was worried about earlier and that's why I stayed away from taking this route on my own. I wasn't too keen on starting over with copying all my content back up the my AppleTV. As it worked out, the warning message eventually led me to further research and to this discussion board and then to AppleCare.
My AppleTV is now up-to-date and I hope everyone else is able to do the same.

How do you sync contacts and calendar events

why is itunes not syncing contacts and calendar events

The current method of syncing contacts and calendars is to use iCloud rather than syncing.

Sync between MacBookPro and iPhone 3G does not sync properly. Calendars duplicate events but worse is that only contacts from Address book from letter T onwards sync. Any contacts on iPhone which are not on Mac are lost during sync.

Solutions?

No, I never really found an easy solution. I believe it is an issue with some corruption in the iTunes database on the specific device. In my case, both my iPad and iPhone now show duplicate stream songs if viewed through iTunes on my Mac, but they show different songs. A couple years ago I had a similar issue on my iPhone, and Apple support suggested I back up the phone, completely reset it, and then restore it from the backup. It did work, so I imagine it would probably work for my current issues with the iPhone and iPad. But resetting and restoring an iPad or iPhone always makes me a little nervous that something will get lost. When I did reset/restore the iPhone, I do have to say, the restore process was 100% perfect and I did not lose any data at all even though Apple support said I might. If you try to go that route, I would suggest backing the device up both to a computer through iTunes, and to the iCloud so that you have a double backup.
None of this really resolves the issue with how the iTunes databases are becoming corrupted on the apple devices though, so it is very likely to happen again until they fix it. I have been unable to determine if there were any specific actions or conditions which caused the corruption to happen in the first place.
Might be worth another call to Apple support, or dropping in the local Apple store if you have one near by.

Please help. My facebook app will not open on my iphone 4. I deleted it,numerous times and downloaded it again. It uploads, but when you click on the icon, it flickers then closes. Help.

Help.

Then the next step would be to restore your phone. My advice is that prior to restoring you import your photos and videos to your computer and back up your contacts (by syncing them with iCloud or to a supported program on your computer using iTunes) as a number of users report losing these when restoring their device.

Message "iTunes could not sync contacts to iPhone because an error occurred while committing data"

Hello all. I recently replaced the HD in my MacBook Pro. Just after, I retrieved my old files from the Time Machine backup, which I made just before the replacement. During the first sync of my iPhone via iTunes and while I was trying to sync my contacts I saw the message "iTunes could not sync contacts to iPhone because an error occurred while committing data". After that, I lost my iPhone contacts (I have them only from iCloud). The only problem is contacts, all the others (Calendars, Apps) are normally syncing. Does anybody has a solution? Thanks in advance!

hello,
There was a similiar posting that I have seen from others and they found out that the back up was bad. https://discussions.apple.com/message/6139533#6139533
I would use a previous backup (earlier one) to the one you have tried to just do.
