HT1766 Where do I see if my Calendar and Contact info is backed up?
I have Windows 8 now (ugghhh!), and the look & feel of iTunes has changed.
Where can I check that my Calendar and Contacts data has really been backed up after doing a general back-up run?
(I can't back up through icloud as my iphone is not connecting to wifi, which is the main problem I've been dealing with for a few days again now, for the second time in 3 months!)
Thanks!
You can check iTunes preferences under Devices, to see if there is a backup in iTunes.
If you're using iCloud, you can check to see if your iPhone is backed up in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, scroll to the bottom of the page to see the last backup time.
And finally, if you're syncing the contacts and calendars to your Windows computer, just open the calendar or contact app on the computer.
See this for other general info -> iOS: How to back up and restore your content

Erasing calendar and contact info on transferred original iPad
I've transferred my original iPad to my wife's computer. But she's now stuck with my calender and contacts info.
As I read the iPad manual, the reset option labeled "Erase all contents and settings" would do the trick. She could then sync with her own calendar and computer. But does it erase other things, well besides the email account information which is not a problem? For instance, does it erase apps?
Thanks in advance for any help.
John KendrickIs there any way to simply erase the calendar and contact info without erasing the apps?

How do I transfer calendar and contact info from blackberry to iPhone 5
I have a blackberry 9300 and just got an iPhone 5. Is there anyway of transferring all my contacts and calendar info over to the iPhone ?
ThanksYou can try apps like dropbox.
Or you can import those pics from your Android to your computer, then use iTunes to sync those photos to your iphone.

w/o ability to change it to my preference .
Here are your options:
1. Export from Palm Desktop and import to iCal and Address Book Instructions are here:
http://www.palm.com/us/support/downloads/pre/migration/exportical.html
The downer is that this will lose your categories in Address Book, I think.
2. Get Missing Sync here:

3. Sync the Treo to Address Book and iCal, then connect the iPhone and sync from AB/iCal to the iPhone. Instructions here

Number 3 is your best bet - it should retain all the categories etc. However, doing this in a hurry is a recipe for panic. My advice is to try 3 first. If you can't get it to work, try 1. Although that might lose categories, it gets everything onto the iPhone, and the iPhone's built-in Spotlight search will enable you to find people, events etc really quickly. And it's easy and quick. Later on, when you have time, you can try something cleverer.
You don't need Missing Sync -
Not possible to access calendar and contacts hosted on OS 10.8 server
On OS 10.8 server, /var/log/caldavd/error.log says:
2012-08-06 21:06:03+0200 [-] [caldav-3] [PooledMemCacheProtocol,client] [twext.web2.dav.method.propfind#error] File not found: <RootResource: /Library/Server/Calendar and Contacts/Data/Documents/calendar/dav/"user"/user>
I do see
/Library/Server/Calendar\ and\ Contacts/Data
but it is locked for me as user.
- Owner is `_calendar` (93)
- Group is `_calendar` (93)
and it's read, write and execute for owner and group (750)
Are these the right settings?
After upgrading to 10.8 server from 10.7 server I could not access my calendar and contacts data anymore, and I looked into the above described log.
When I am trying to access a calendar from a client via System Settings -- Mail, Contacts & Calendars I get this error:
A secure connection couldn't be established. Click "Continue" to continue creating the account
However, it won't access neither calendars nor contacts.
Or are the permissions not the issue, but something else?This could very well be. There are two things:
1) where would I set "network users"? Is this related to Open Directory? Or to Profile Manager? I enabled both. I looked more closely into the log file. Previously I had the following two lines occurring every time I logged in, they don't occurr anymore.
2012-08-07 08:06:48+0200 [-] [caldav-6] [PooledMemCacheProtocol,client] [twistedcaldav.directory.appleopendirectory.OpenDirectoryService#error] Duplicate: "User"
2012-08-07 08:06:48+0200 [-] [caldav-6] [PooledMemCacheProtocol,client] [twistedcaldav.directory.appleopendirectory.OpenDirectoryService#error] Duplicate: "User"
2) The previously mentioned error
2012-08-07 08:15:24+0200 [-] [caldav-0] [PooledMemCacheProtocol,client] [twext.web2.dav.method.propfind#error] File not found: <RootResource: /Library/Server/Calendar and Contacts/Data/Documents/calendar/dav/"User"/user>
still remains.
Again, I'd be grateful for further pointers! -
How can I use iCoud to sync my Outlook calendar and contact from Parallesl?
Before I switched to MAC, I used a PC and relied on Outlook for years. Now that I use Paralles on MAC, I continued using Outlook.
I have been using ITunes via a wire to sync calendar and contact info from Outlook also for years.
With the launch of iCloud, I feel my way of syncing is outdated. I have an IPad and tried to use iCloud to sync my calendar info to my phone, but didnt work.
I was told that I could pick either method or but not both. Technically, I could sync my Outlook info onto my iPhone first, and then turn on iCloud to synch those info to other iDevice right? Why didn't it work?I will address your second question.
First, make sure your iPhone and iPad have absolutely identical Apple IDs. If they do, use that Apple ID in Settings > iCloud on your iPhone to select the "Notes" option. Lo and behold, all your iCloud notes should appear on your iPhone. -
Can only sync calendar and contacts...not music or audio books
I have an itouch that I was only able to fully sync once. Then I could no longer sync music or audio books. I updated all software and then did a full restore on my itouch. Still no success. I have tried this on three different computers that I have used with (no problems) my older ipods but I cannot get this sync to work on any of them.
When I sync, I get a message on the itouch that a "sync is in progress". However, no music or audiobooks are transferred. Only calendar and contact info is synced. I checked the itunes settings for the itouch and they are set to sync all songs and playlists.
Spent several hours scouring troubleshooting hints to no avail. Please help!Are you sure you do not have your ipod set to manually manage music and videos on the ipod summary screen?

I have a 2nd generation Ipod and just moved to Icloud. I had been told my an Apple tech that although my contacts and calendar would not sync automatically I could connect the Ipod to my Mac via the USB port and ITunes would sync the calendar. Now I find that this is not happening. I am not happy that I will have to enter/edit calendar and contact info on two devices. Is there something I can do to fix this problem? Thanks.
one more detail, after a restore, when I attempt to reload music to the ipod, if I try and move, say, 20 files, the transfer seems to work as it should but then stalls on the last file. Eventually, the status will change to "Updates Files on (my ipod)" a and suggests the iPod is syncing even though I have the auto sync feature turned off.
This process eventually works itself out, and seems to take longer relative to the number of files I attempt to transfer. Once done, howver, if I try and eject and dismount the iPod, iTunes stalls with the spinning pinwheel and I am warned that the iPod is syncing again with the spinning candy cane status bar. Eventually thisd works itself out and the iPod dismounts from iTunes and the desktop and eventually the iPod is free to disconnect.
Then if I try and play the music I just transfered, the iPod says there is no music loaded.

IMac i7, late 2013: Microsoft Outlook email, calendar, and contacts
Will I be able to open and read my Microsoft Outlook email, calendar, and contacts when imported to my late 2013 iMac and Mavericks OS X?
Thanks LowLuster.
I do not want to purchase any additional Office software for the iMac if I don't have to. I have been a Microsoft/Office/Outlook user for many years now, so I have bunches and bunches of email, calendar, and contact info that I would still like to access and read, use, update.
I would like to know if the Microsoft Outlook data (email .pst, calendar and contact) info once imported to the iMac will be accessible, readable, usable, updatable. I need my email, calendar, and contacts.
I have already spent quite a bit of money on the iMac, and didn't plan on buying Office/Outlook for the Mac. -

I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?
If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
[To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you! -
Since uprgading to Mountain Lion, my mac mail no longer works with my exchange email properly. I finally gave up and moved back to outlook for mac, but now my new issue is using outlook calendar and contacts with icloud; possible?
Sorry but I'm really not to sure what I have. I'm not good with knowing my computer model. All I know is that its a MacBook running with Leopard. I got my computer last year so I suppose its fairly new. Is there a place on my computer where I can check to see what it is (sorry to be so dumb with my own mac)
And everything else works fine. I love Safari. It's just my mail that doesn't work. Here's the message that pop up several times.
"The MobileMe IMAP server “mail.mac.com” rejected the password for user “akcastaldo”
Please re-enter your password, or cancel."
The only problem here is, even though I enter my password it doesn't do anything. It makes that message go away for about 3-5 mins. After that it pops right back up. And I can't even go into my preference and change my email password. So I don't know what to do. -
I have a new computer. I've installed iTunes. I don't want to lose the calendar and contact data nor the apps currently on my iPod Touch. Will that happen when I sync?
I don't think so. When you open iTunes, go to "Store" on the top and click "Authorize this Computer." Type in your email and pass, and click authorize. Then, when you connect you iPod for the first time, it should tell you "this iPod is synced with another computer, blah blah." It should give you the option to either "Erase and Sync," or "Transfer Purchases." Click "Transfer Purchases and your content should go into your new iTunes.
If this doesn't work and you still have your old computer there's another thing you can do. I know this works on windows, but I'm not sure how to do it on a Mac, maybe someone can offer some help. Assuming you have Windows, go to Start>Music>iTunes Media and you should see Music, Apps, Movies, etc. This is all the stuff in your iTunes. If you have an external hard drive or your iTunes library is small in terms of file size, you can do this in one go. Transfer the content (as much as you can fit at one time) onto the external storage. Then, put that content on your new computer on the desktop or somewhere where you can find it again. Open iTunes, and folder by folder highlight everything in the folder and drag it into the iTunes library. It should say "importing (content)" or something and then it should be in your library. If you look in your Music folder again, there should now be another "iTunes" folder there with all of your content back in it.
Hope one if these options works for you. Best of luck!
