For some reason my iphone4 has stopped syncing with my address book on my macbookpro

I have been adding some new addresses to my address book on my macbook pro and for some reason I can't get it to sync with my contacts on my Iphone4. I have checked that the box is ticked in the I tunes info panel. I must be doing something stupid! It has been fine up until recently.

Thanks for the advice. however I did exactly as you suggested and it still doesn't sync. I have contemplated going down the restore route in Itunes which will set the I phone back to the original settings but all the media and other data on the phone will be erased until I sync things again but then if it isn't syncing I loose all my contacts. catch 22? All other syncing for apps and iCal are working fine - its just the contacts that is refusing to be updated. The problem is in both directions - if I input a new address on the phone it does go into contacts on my mac and vice versa

  • For some reason Lightroom 2 has stopped working correctly.

    As of this morning I can't even select all and export files to my laptop any more.
    Prior to this I was having problems with selecting all and adding a label. Even though all pics were highlighted, only the first file updates and I need to individually update the label on each file, even though they are all highlighted. I'm very busy and this is very frustrating - is there an update to correct this?

    That was a problem with exporting to my desktop, not my laptop

    For some reason, iOS 6 has decided to download on my iPod Touch through WiFi. I didn't request it, nothing is set to automatically update in the Touch settings, or iTunes. It seemed to start downloading when I  synced the Touch. I've disconnected the Touch from WiFi temporarily. How can I cancel the download, or will there be an option when it's done downloading to cancel the install?
    Thanks for any help...

    You should really read the manual.
    "How do you restore from backup? "
    Restore.  When given the choice, choose to use backup.
    "And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
    They would only be where you put them.  What program did you use to import them?  Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all.  You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
    If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

  • I cant get a photo project to email the moblile me address to someone else.  I know how, but it has stopped working for some reason.  Instead of pulling up the web address on the email form, it puts an error message?  Any ideas?

    Michael,
    The link for the word 'HERE' directs to a Evergreen School District page, which outside of Mobile Me and/or Aperture. Your school district network might be intercepting the request from Aperture and displaying the 'network authentication page' that you see, instead of the email. I would get with the IT department to see if they can help you get around this.
    Have you also tried using the 'Tell a Friend' feature from another network location, like starbucks or your home?
    Cheers,
    Owen.

  • I have an external hard drive which has my i-photo on it & some movies from i-movie that I have on disk now. But for some reason my ehd has a caution symbol on it & I can't move my event to free up space on my hd so that I can export i-movie events. Help!

    I have an external hard drive which has my i-photo on it & some movies from i-movie that I have on disk now. But for some reason my ehd has a caution symbol on it & I can't move my event to free up space on my hd so that I can export i-movie events. Help!

    Usually the caution symbol means that it's formatted as a PC compatible format like NTFS or most likely FAT32. For iMovie to use it the ehd must be formatted Mac OS Extended. Then iMovie will show it without the caution symbol and you can drag/drop open any Event/Project from that hard drive.
    To find out if it's formatted as PC:
    Go to the desktop, holding down the Control key click on that ehd and in the pop-menu choose 'Get Info'
    Under Format: It will say whether or not it's Mac OS Extended (Journaled). The only way to undo a PC formatted ehd would be to copy everything off of it first, Erase/Format the drive using Disk Utility in the Applications>Utilities folder on your Mac, choosing the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format in the pull-down menu there.

  • My iphone4 just stopped syncing with my outlook calendar any ideas for a fix?

    My iphone4 just stopped syncing with my outlook calendar.  Any ideas for a fix?

    My iPhone 3G and Outlook sucessfully synched everything (contacts, calendar, mail accounts, bookmarks, notes) until V 3.0 of the phone software. Then calendar would not synch no matter what. After a couple of hours on the phone with an Apple rep we discovered that when a new user account was set-up in Windows (XP SP 3), and a new instance of Outlook (Office 2003) was opened in that account the Calendar in the new account would sync. However, when the calendar from the old account was imported into the new account (via .pst export / import), it still wouldn't sync. At that point the Apple rep had no more help to offer. After much offline troubleshooting on my own I found a solution that at least worked for me by the following steps:
    1) create a new mail account through: Control Panel | Category View | User Accounts | Mail (Add a new account, don't copy the old one)
    2) don't know whether this step is necessary, but since the "old" .pst file was 1997-02, I exported / imported it into a 2003 Personal Folders .pst file, and then replaced the .pst file on the "new" mail account with the "updated" .pst file from the "old" mail account.
    3) opened the new mail account and exported all Calendar appointments into an Excel file
    4) in Calendar view of Outlook selected: View | Arrange By | Current View | By Category, then did an Edit | Select All and deleted all appointments.
    5) then using File | Import / Export, imported the Excel file of appointments into Calendar,
    6) open iTunes, select Preferences | Devices and Reset Synch History
    7) under Info select only the Calendar Sync option and the option to replace the Calendar information on the phone with the new Calendar.
    The calendar now properly updates (several regualr updates have since been tried). One small annoyance (but preferable to not syncing) the recurring aspect of any appointment (not the appointment itself) is lost, along with any color formatting, but those are easily fixed up afterward.

  • The calendar on my Tungsten E2 has stopped syncing with my windows 7 PC.

    The calendar on my Tungsten E2 has stopped syncing with my windows 7 PC.  All other conduits sync perfectly but only if I first change the conduit setup to not include the calendar as part of the syncing process.  I have already tried reinstalling the Palm Desktop, but this did not help.  If I try syncing with the calendar included in the syncing process, the entire syncing process freezes up when it comes to the calendar.  Thanks for any ideas.

    Jason L solved my problem when he provided the following link for another poster:

    It cannot be installed. It comes pre-installed on every iPhone 4S and later. Maybe it was disabled under Settings > General > Restrictions.

    iOS 6 only added support for the 3rd generation iPad. It was always on the iPhone 4S. Then the same goes for your boss: Maybe disabled in restrictions, or maybe actually an iPhone 4.

  • My Mac's iCal has stopped syncing with my iPhone, Macbook and iPad?

    My Mac has stopped syncing with my iPhone and MacBook Pro.  System preferences setting for iCloud has iCal selected in all devices.  Interestingly, my iPad is showing all chat messages between me and other people when I am using my iPhone.  This started about the time that iCal started misbehaving.  May or may not be related.
