How to sync Contacts after iOS 5.0.1 update

Issue: After iPhone 4S upgrade to iOS 5.0.1, iTunes 10.5 no longer synchronizes Mac Address Book with iPhone 4S Contacts using USB cable. iPhone Contacts disappear; Address Book remains intact.
iCloud: not used (it's unsupported on Mac OS X 10.6.8).
Carrier (cellular provider): Verizon
Solution:
Sync Services: Advanced troubleshooting for contact and calendar syncing
Article: TS2481
Skip the MobileMe section and start reading at the section:
For issues syncing contacts and contact groups in Address Book
I followed all steps except "Reset the SyncServices folder" and iPhone Contacts reappeared. The steps are well documented so I won't repeat them here.
Please post your experiences here.
Good luck, all.

To clarify, iPhone Contacts disappeared after the iOS 5.0.1 update, even though I DON'T use MobileMe or iCloud; I sync with iTunes. Follow the instructions in TS2481 but skip the MobileMe section. Instead, scroll down to "For issues syncing contacts and contact groups in Address Book" and expand the text.
Hope this clears things up.

How to sync contacts after ios5 update

i just updated my iPad2 and iPod Touch 4 to iOS5. I was going to move to iCloud but got a warning that I should first make sure one of these devices has an up to date Calendars and Contacts before I do that. I checked both devices and noticed that my Contacts are not up to date on either device. I tried syncing them in iTunes but it says Syncing has been disabled on this computer. Then it asks me if I want to enable it and I click YES. Then it tells me Syncing cannot be enabled on this computer.
When I go to System Preferences, MobileMe, I click on Sync and get a message "Sync Unavailable An unknown error occurred while performing a sync operation. Please check your account and network settings, then try again." That doesn't tell me much since my Network settings haven't changed.
Now I seem to be stuck.

IPod Touch Won't Sync Music After iOS 7.0.3 Update.

Hello,
I am sorry if there is another thread with the same issue, but I was wondering if anyone can help with this problem.
I have a 5th Generation iPod Touch and up until I updated it with the latest iOS software 7.0.3 everything had worked fine. I also updated iTunes (11.1.2.31)
Now when I downlaod a new song or album onto my iTunes library on my Windows 7 PC, when I plug in my iPod my computer recognises the iPod starts to sync but at the very end it says "Waiting for changes to be applied" for about a minute stalls slightly and then finishes the syncing.
I go to check my iPod to see if the latest track that I have downloaded is on there, the changes that were applied haven't been applied.
So, my question is has anyone heard if Apple is aware of the underlying problem and are they going to fix it with another software update or does anyone have any suggestions or answers that will definitely fix this problem?
The only way for now that I can get the song/album I paid for is by downloading it from my iPod in iTunes Store under "Purchased"
It seems if I do it that way it works and the song that I downlaoded onto my iPod directly goes onto my iTunes library the next time I open iTunes or boot up my PC.
Applications, photos and movies sync with no problem. Other than that everything works fine
Thanks for your reponces in advance!
Best,
OrlaG

I am certain too that it is possibly the 7.0.3 update. Have you tried restoring from backup? I am uncertain that might work but its worth a try.
If that doesn't work I suggest that you give feedback to Apple directly. The more about this problem, the quicker it will get resolved.

How to recover Contacts after MobileMe to iCloud upgrade?

How to recover Contacts after MobileMe to iCloud upgrade?

I assume that the regular backups of the contacts and calendar only work on a Mac
No, you can backup contacts and calendars on a Windows PC. There are many backup options for PCs, but you would've had to set one up. Don't you backup any of the data on your PC?
Your recommendation is that I restroe my entire iPhone from the last iTunes backup to recover these files?
That's really your only option with no other backups available. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946
There's no guarantee that the iTunes Backup will include all your contacts, as noted in the support article above, you're supposed to maintain backups of the contacts in the contact manager you sync with.

My ical won't sync with iPhone 4 after IOS 6.0.1 update

My ical won't sync with iPhone 4 after IOS 6.0.1 update. The "sync calendars" option is no longer available after I installed this update. Any ideas???I have tried a few times to sync, and nothing has changed on my calendars. I have had so many troubles with this update. Grrr...

I tried the same but it did not worked. But, i got a solution. I accessed gmail on my laptop. Went to gmail settings. There is a option to add a device. A iPhone was already listed. I clicked Revoke to remove it. Then i clicked add new device and gave it iPhone name and a new 16-20 character password was geenrated. I used it to configure gmail on my Iphone and it worked beautifully. So glad i have been able to fix this. That password is a one time password to authenticate that device.

How To : Sync playlists from iOS device back to itunes - Windows

How To : How To : Sync playlists from iOS device back to itunes - Windows (May work on Mac too)
NOTE - THIS WILL ONLY WORK IF YOU HAVE THE MUSIC FILES ON THE COMPUTER ALREADY
If your like me and format your computers only to discover that you've lost all those time consuming playlists that you spent hours on, well your in luck.
Without any Third-Pary programs it's possible to save those awesome playlists, and pull them back from the blink of oblivion.
Step 1 - Connect iDevice to your computer and then open iTunes.
Step 2 - Locate your iDevice on the left side bar on iTunes under the heading 'Devices', click the arrow on the left of the devices name and select a playlist.
Step 3 - Right-Click the selected playlist and choose 'Export playlist', Save it as a Text file.
Step 4 - In iTunes, up the top click 'File' then locate Library, move across to 'Import Playlist...', Select the playlist you just created and click open.
Step 5 - Your playlist will appear on the left side bar under the heading 'Playlists', Select the playlist and attempt to play one of the songs contained.
Step 6 - You would have been prompted that iTunes doesnt see the file, select 'Locate' and then go to the location of your music and locate the file.
(Sorry dont have an image for this one due to having all my music already found)
Step 7 - Doing this once will find all the music in the playlist given that it's in a similar location of the song you found.
Congrats you have successfully moved a playlist back from oblivion

There's a different method.
1. On iTunes -> Devices -> <your device> -> Summary -> Check Manually manage music and videos.
2. On iTunes -> Devices -> <your device> -> Summary -> uncheck Manually manage music and videos.
done.

After iOS 7.0.2 update: Freeze on lock screen, blackout & unresponsive for 5 min then the phone restarts itself

Happened after iOS 7.0.2 update a few times (2x this morning): Freeze on lock screen, "blackout:" unresponsive to any buttons pressing, after 3-5 minutes the phone restarts itself and works again... (1) May I ask what can I do? I am trying to reset it and recovering the data from backup. (2) Can a virus cause this problem?

To rule out a software issue, set it up as new device without using the latest backup.

If it does not charge normally after that, you'll have to get it serviced, the problem might be hardware related.
