Finally working 2.0 but no contacts!

I finally got my phone working again, i had to take it to the apple store.
I came home and synced my phone. Music, pictures, and txt messages all worked.
But i have no contacts.
Any help?

What does the contacts icon provide that contacts from phone icon does not? The two seem to be identical in nature.
They are identical. There had been a lot of feedback from original iPhone users for direct access to contacts (instead of having to go through the phone icon esp. when you don't want to make a call), so Apple responded while keeping contacts also immediately available for calling purposes.
(I hope that's not too confusing? sorry I haven't said it too elegantly...)

HotSync works for backup, but addresses/contacts don't show on Desktop Palm

Hey Folks,
I have recently moved over to the Mac platform (love it, btw) from a PC (Windows XP). I have spent a while scouring over the forum notes and have not found an answer to my problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Here it is: I have a Tungsten E, and use Docs to Go as the only 3rd party app. I installed the Palm Desktop 4.2.1 for Mac. I performed a Hotsync sucessfully, as well as, had the Docs to Go install an expense XLS and sync that perfectly. The problem is when I go to view the contacts and addresses that have been backed up to the Mac from the Palm Tungsten - they are not there. I have checked the Users. I have changed the users. I have created a new user, and deleted the old - then I re-sync-d the palm again and had the Desktop software re-create my username. When I pull up a Finder window and I see the information that is backed up. I cannot get the Desktop software to "see" my contact/address information. All settings and paths are set for the default. I am getting really frustrated at this point, as this is the only reason that I have to mess the PC world anymore. Is there something that I am just being stupid about? Shouldn't I just be able to move the data in the Palm from one desktop to another ?
Thanks for looking into it, in advance.

As a long-time Palm and PC user who recently switched to Mac, I can relate to your frustration. I'm sorry to tell you that many of the capabilities we took for granted on the PC desktop are broken or changed on the Mac. A partial list:
Records don't sync (as you describe). I found that if I open an individual address record that has, for example, a phone number in the email field, the opened data entry box has the correct information in the correct field.
There is no password security on the desktop. On the handheld, you can choose to show, mask, or hide records that are marked private, and you can assign and require a password to unhide those records. There is no password capability on the desktop. You can "hide" private records, but it's like a kid covering his eyes with his hands and thinking no one sees him.
The Help feature doesn't work. You get a glimpse of a help page but then it disappears and you're left with a page that says "Internet connection required."
And, my favorite: The Note that is part of a Contacts record has been disassociated. Those Notes are now stored as Memos. On the desktop you can find the Note by clicking on the paperclip icon. But if you create the Address record and a Note on the desktop, they won't retain their relationship on the handheld. I.e., you can't get to the Note from the Contact record on the handheld. You can do a linear search through the Memos to find it.
There are many more such annoyances. I imagine that when faced with all the possibilities that Unix/Leopard permitted, it was hard for the designers and developers not to take advantage of them. I appreciate that there are more possibilities with the new desktop environment, but they should have been left to another release, with an upgrade path spelled out. As it is, the Palm desktop on the Mac is useless. I'm now trying to figure out if I can get my Palm handheld contacts, including Notes, into the Apple Address Book.
If anyone has solutions that I've missed, I'd be happy to retract my expression of disappointment. And, G-Manmac, I wish you the best of luck.

Parallel printer finally working using gutenprint, but too slow!

I finally got my HP LaserJet 4 Plus to print through a usb to parallel cable using gutenprint. But it stops and waits after each page. Any way to speed it up?

I suggest you try the alternate USB driver "usbtb."

If that doesn't help, maybe that's the limit of this printer.

When trying to print, adobe reader 11.0.07 keeps "Not responding" for 2 - 5 minutes before finally working? I have tried uninstalling and re-installing but same problem. What is going on? I have windows 7

First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

HT1296 When I sync my iphone with Windows 7, the contact moves to my computer, but the contact is not complete. No phone numbers. What am I doing wrong? I have also tried sync-ing with Yahoo, and that doesn't work either.

The music sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. File>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to move everything to your new computer.

OK, let's try these................
1 - Boot up from your install DVD and run "Repair Disk" from the Utility menu. When done, restart back to your desktop, repair permissions and restart your computer. Re-connect your printer.
2 - Download & install the Gimp drivers. Make sure the one you install is compatible w/your OS-Gutenprint 5.2.8-pre1. Repair permissions, restart your computer & re-connect your printer when done.
The Epson model I have, in order to get it to print wirelessly, I had to install a Gimp driver.
3 - Check out the following KB Articles:
Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Connecting to a network printer
Epson Printer Drivers v2.10 OS X
Adding a printer to your printer list in Mac OS X
Mac OS X 10.4 Help: The printer I'm adding says "Driver not installed"
======================
If still unsuccessful after trying all of the above, the problem could be your iBook or human error. You can either call Epson & ask to speak with a Mac savy supervisor or return the printer & find another that is compatible w/your current OS.

TS2776 Updated iPhone software and lost all my contacts. Previous updates worked fine. Phone backed up, installed software and the music, apps etc, but no contacts. Have tried several times but no data at all. Any ideas?

Updated my iPhone with latest software and all my phone contacts have vanished. Phone backed up as normal, then installed software then re-installed music, apps etc, but no contacts.
Have updated software before with no issues. Have tried using tips from help page with no change - just a blank contact list.
Any ideas?

Sync via PC - Thought I'd backed up as it said it was backing up the phone. Having searched through here I see that the contacts aren't automatically saved! Why is that when everything else is?
Contacts are made to be synched to your computer or a cloud service. There is therefore no NEED to include them in your backup. Same reason iTunes media is not part of the backup. It's already on the computer.

Seems I've lost everything - Supposed to back up via Outlook address book I read - So why isn't that made obvious....?
Had you read the User Guide before using your phone, it would have been obvious.
Your data loss here is clearly user error and you have no one to blame but yourself. The User Guide CLEARLY outlines the way your phone should be used to minimize data loss.
Sorry, but it's time to put on your big boy pants and accept responsibility for your inactions.

Why does iMessage only work for some of my contacts?

Having problems with iMessage. It will work for some of my contacts but not others. And those people arre having the same problem, works with other people but not me.. Anyone dealt with this?

1. Both devices have to be running iOS 5.*
2. Internet latency can delay iMessage connection. If you enabled "Send as SMS", the phone will switch to SMS if iMessage doesn't connect quickly. If you disable Send as SMS, more of your messages will go through as iMessage.

I upgraded for Firefox 4 and now my simplePass identity protection (biometric scanner) on my laptop will not work. WHY? It still works with IE but I don't use IE.

I upgraded for Firefox 4 and now my HP SimplePass Identity Protection (biometric scanner) on my laptop will not work. WHY? It still works with IE but I don't use IE. It worked with the previous Firefox version but now when I use the internet, it doesn't even acknowledge I have the scanner. When I run my finger over it, it opens the settings panel but does not allow use of the already saved information or allow new information to be entered. I need this corrected. Any suggestions?

I asked this same question, and just received a response:
"Thank you for contacting DigitalPersona. There will be no update releases
for DigitalPersona Personal in the future. There will be no updates for
Firefox 4 nor Internet Explorer 9. IF they work they work, if they do
not work with DPPersonal, then you will have to decide to either keep
DPPersonal and forgo Firefox 4 or IE 9, or vice versa. DigitalPersona
is leaving the consumer market and is focusing on business applications.
In fact, DigitalPersona Personal will not longer be supported after
Mid-April of this year.
We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause. Sincerely, Tech Team "
In other words, there will be NO update.

How can i sync 2 separate outlook contacts (2 different accounts but same contacts) on to my iphone?

I have a work iphone which has my work outlook account synced on it (Email, calendar and contacts). I have the same itunes account setup at home and at work and that works fine. However, at home i have a separate outlook account but the contacts between the work and home outllok are the same. Is there anyway that i can sync them via the iphone automatically. Any other solution that doesnt involve the cloud would be preferable. Many thanks!

Ok in a round about way I got my wife's phone to to sync with the bookmarks at least once. I set up iCloud on my PC laptop and installed Safari. Then I logged it on to my iCloud account which imported all the bookmarks over. Then, still on the PC, I switched over the iCloud to my wife's account and presto her phone had all the bookmarks. Now this probably means her bookmarks are only synched with the PC (which is okay because she spends more time on it anyway. I'm always hoging the IMac) and the iMac and the PC are not synched together.
I'm still haveing a problem with my calander syncing with the iMac. My reminders show up but if I add an event to a particular day from my phone it does not. This even applies when I log onto iCloud.com. However, if I add an event on the iMac it does show up on my phone. All the settings are turned on on all three devices. I've tried turning them on and off. I just don't get it because it was working fine.
Contacts seem to be syncing for both of us.... sort of. Any contacts we add on our phone syncs to the Mac but it is doubling up on people we both have.

Why does my app store account tell me that my payment method does not match my bank's records. my card is valid and works for iTunes but not the app store.

The synchronisation of iphone 4S to windows 7/64 bit does no longer work; kalender, individual ringtones and contacts get not sychronized in both directions. I tried reset on working configuration, deinstallation of itunes - nothing worked

The synchronisation of iphone 4S to windows 7/64 bit does no longer work; kalender, individual ringtones and contacts get not sychronized in both directions. I tried reset on working configuration, deinstallation of itunes - nothing worked - what can be done to solve?

Couple of things to check:
You are using Outlook 2003, 2007 or 2010
You have selected to sync Calendars and Contacts with Outlook on the Info tab of your iTunes sync settings
You have selected your Outlook calendar as the default claendar on your iPhone (in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar)
If all that is correct and iTunes still won't sync correctly, you might have to try reinstalling Outlook. Another option is to enable iCloud syncing with Outlook (see http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/). This requires Outlook 2007 or 2010. If you decide to sync using iCloud but sure to disable contacts and calendar syncing in iTunes on the Info tab of your sync settings. Do not try to sync with both Outlook and iCloud or you will end up with duplicates in your contacts and calendar.
For syncing Ringtones confirm that:
The file is really a ringtone (right-click the file in iTunes, select Get Info, on the Summary tab it should say "Kind: Ringtone".
You have checked each of the ringtones you want to sync
You have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos" on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings
You have checked Sync Tones on the Tones tab of your iTunes sync settings

Firewire 800 port doesn't work for cameras but works for Ext drives

I have a Power PC G5 1.8 running 10.5.8
I have a 9 pin FW 800 port on the back that does not work for cameras, trying to capture video into Final Cut Pro. But works fine when I hook up an external hard drive to it.
Does anyone know why that is? It used to work, now it doesn't. Any suggestions?

Does System Profiler>Hardware>Forewire tell us anything when the Cameras are plugged in FW/800 port?
Do the Drives have an extra FW/800 port to plug the Camera in?

Finally working 2.0 but no contacts!
