HT204150 iCloud issues with contact sync to iMac

I've gone through all the suggested steps, but my contacts won't load. It's blank. Contacts load on iPad, iPhone and MacBook Pro. Just not iMac.

Still struggling with this. Mail works. Calendar syncs. Notes and reminders sync. Just no contacts. In fact, I can't even add a contact. Any help appreciated.

Why don't new contacts sync from iMac to iPhone?

It works the other way 'round... i.e. when I add an address to Contacts on my iPhone they appear in Contacts on my iMac, but not from desktop to phone. I must admit I'm confused by iCloud, so maybe I've set something up in correctly.

Probably because (on the iMac) you are entering them into the On My Mac account in Contacts, you should enter them into the iCloud account, in Contacts, on your iMac.

Issue with Ipad Syncing with Exchange

We have 6 folks using Ipads regularly to access our corporate exchange server. Up to now things have been fairly stable.
That said starting this week our President has been having significants issues with the syncing process. The process seems to be hanging (however it may be jsut retrying over and over). This is resulting in some emails getting sent multiple times. It also appears that the syncing of Calendar events is sporadic.
No updates ahve been applied to the Exchange server.
He is a pretty heavy user of the Ipad and email and recieves alot of attachments some that are large 5-10mb. I see some chatter about these types of issues but no real solutions.
Is anyone else seeing this type of activity? If so any thoughts on how to improve the issue.
Thanks

I connected my IPAD for sync with Itunes on my laptop, DELL 6500 running Windows Vista.
Itunes prompted me to download new OS version 3.2.x It then went to restart my IPAD- and then boom !! .. windows said it couldnt find my ipad driver. I went to apple support site and followed their instructions and still windows cant find the driver. Hence my IPAD is not stuck showing the connect to ITUNES screen .. cant use it and cant get update.
Any one has any ideas what happened ?

Duplication Issues with Photo Sync via iTunes/iPhoto and Photo Stream/iCloud (Detailed Scenario Given)

Hi Everyone,
I'd like to share an issue I am having with photo syncing between my iDevices.
Here is how I USED to sync my Photos between my iDevices (no issues with photo duplication)
Note: In this scenario, I use iTunes and iPhoto on my Mac. iCloud and Photo stream have NOT been activated in this case.
1. Take photos via iPhone that saves in Camera Roll
2. After a month or so, I will connect my iPhone to my Mac.
3. Import my Photos in iPhoto and arrange Events and Photos in monthly sections and add some of them in a separate Albums (ex. Written Notes Photos) for easy access.
4. Once the import is done, iPhoto prompts an option to delete photos in my Camera Roll which I do as I like to start a fresh month with empty Camera Roll in my iPhone.
5. In order to access the Photos I have imported in iPhoto in my iPhone, I go to iTunes and sync all my photos to my iPhone. This syncs my events, photos, faces, albums as they have been arranged in iPhoto in my Mac. (I cant delete them in my iPhone once they are synced. I have to delete in my iPhoto and sync again to have similar setup in my iPhone which isn't a problem).
NOW I decided I don't want to manually go through all this process and went on to enable the Photo Stream ON in my iPhone and iPhoto with iCloud.
THIS IS WHERE THE PROBLEM ENSUES.
1. I Take photos with my iPhone that saves in Camera Roll
2. This automatically syncs with my Mac due to Photo Stream which a really convenient.
3. It syncs automatically to Photo Stream, Events, Photos, Faces section in the iPhoto and I put put some of them (notes) in a separate album.
THE PROBLEM:
The Photos does not show up in the Album, Events and Photos Folder in my iPhone. They are only shown in Camera Roll. So I thought to sync using iTunes so the new Photos will be arranged in their appropriate folder like it used to with my prior process of syncing. This worked, HOWEVER the photos in my iPhone started showing DUPLICATES! Apparently, one comes from Photo Stream (which, if I delete on my phone also deletes in all my iDevices) and the other duplicate is from the iTunes sync (this sets up my photos as arranged in iPhoto which is what i WANT to happen as Photo Stream does not sync them accordingly).
SOLUTION I AM IN SEARCH FOR:
I want to be able to take photos with my iPhone that automatically syncs in iCloud AND iPHOTO AS ARRANGED IN MY MAC (Albums, Events etc) WITHOUT PROBLEM OF PHOTO DUPLICATES.

Other folks have resolved similar issues by trashing the iPod Photo Cache.

Performance issue with brand new intel iMac extreme

I am at a loss to explain a problem I've been having and I thought I might put it out to you guys.
In September I purchased a macbook Pro (2.4 ghz, 4 GB RAM) to use in video editing with Final Cut Pro, and for the most part I've been thrilled. I use 1TB LaCie external drives connected via FW800, and perform Multiclip editing with 4-5 video streams at a time and only on occasion have dropped frames during the editing process.
In December I determined that I needed to have an additional system, and thought a 2.8Ghz Intel iMac extreme would be an excellent choice, since for the same price I could get a little more power in the processor, more hard drive space and a bigger screen to work on. When we picked up the new system in the store (The Grove Apple Store in LA), we had them upgrade the memory to 4GB.
Since day one we have had performance issues, including problems playing streaming and DVD video, severe delays mounting and unmounting drives (firewire and USB) and application images, and freezing while doing even simple tasks like printing or checking email. These problems occur even while there are no external drives are connected. I have none of these issues with the Macbook Pro, which has virtually an identical set of programs installed, and both running the same version of Leopard.
I already took the original iMac back to the store, and they exchanged it, but did not have 4GB sets of RAM in stock so they took the RAM from the original machine and put it in the new one. They said if I continued to have problems then it was most likely the RAM and I should come back when they got more in stock. I DID have the same problems with the new machine, and took it back to the Apple Store and they swapped the memory. It seemed to improve the issue, but now I'm seeing the same severe performance issues again.
All tech support can do is tell me to do a PRAM reset, which seems to improve things very temporarily (but that may be my imagination) or have me restart, which at least has the ability to make the printing of documents capable.
What I'm wondering is if it is likely that the RAM is the issue and I just got another bad batch, or if the iMac has some weird glitch that isn't present in the macbook Pro...?? Or could I have possibly gotten 2 bad systems in a row? It's extremely frustrating, and I KNOW it shouldn't be this way! It's so bad I get better performance out of my single-core G5 tower! How do I get a good working system that operates like it should? Am I better off getting another Macbook Pro? I'd rather not for several reasons...
I have xbench on both the MBP and the iMac and can provide test numbers if they'll help, as well as any other info.
Thank you so much for reading my novella of a post and also for any insight you have!
Best,
Travis

Hi!
I got the same problem with my MacBook when it still was new in may 2006. It was supposed to be one of the faster Laptops around but it was soooo slow it drove me nuts. I can only advise to have a look if there is something hugging up your RAM and run some tests using these programs on your machine:
Xbench:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/10081
MenuMeters:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/10451
If they show any unusual results you might have your problem...
As to my problem with the MacBook: I did a complete re-install (writing the harddisk over with zeroes) and suddenly everything was just fine. (But be sure to back all your files before that, I learned this one the hard way.) I know it is just a standard answer, but it worked out for me this time...
Hope this helps in some ways.
Cheers,
Rene

Multiple Issues with iTunes on New iMac

Hello Apple Community,
I recently bought a 27" iMac with 3.1Ghz i5 processor running on Snow Leopard and finally set it up. I have owned many Macs in the past and currently have been using a 5 year old 15" MacBook Pro on Snow Leopard that has been running flawlessly but I needed something with a bit more processing power. When I first took my iMac out of the box I went ahead and used the Migration Assistant to move my applications and files over from my MacBook Pro but after multiple attempts I had to stop and simply move the music, document, and photo data on to a portable hard drive while I got the Migration Assistant to move the applications. I simply moved the old iTunes music folder over to my new iMac and replaced the iTunes folder on my iMac. The new iMac has already been authorized through my iTunes account and the music will play. Now here are my current issues.
When I play a song on iTunes, there appears to be a random amount of fade-in and/or crossfade when I switch playing songs. I have checked the playback preferences and crossfade is not checked. Some songs the crossfade will take a second while sometimes it will be as much as 10 seconds of crossfade. On my MacBook with the identical library and settings, it does not have these issues.
The other issue I have been experiencing is if iTunes has been open and my computer sits for a little while (usually after awaking from sleep or even listening to a few songs without touching the keyboard, the songs will stop playing on their own and when I press the play button, it begins to "play" the track but there is no sound coming from iTunes. I have checked the volume slider in iTunes and it is still at max volume while all other applications still work and output sound. iTunes will only work properly if I close it and re-open it.
The final issue is similar to the last one in that when I try and play previews in the iTunes Music store it will not play but when I hit the play button iTunes will then appear to be "playing" but no sound from either the store or any of my songs from the Library.
iTunes works perfectly fine on my MacBook Pro and it does have any of these issues. Both Macs are currently running iTunes 10.4.1. All songs in each library are checked and will play to a degree.
I have deleted iTunes and all corresponding library files, (basically anything with iTunes in the name) and tried to reinstall iTunes and used multiple methods to replace the music files including using Home Sharing, a portable Hard Drive, and dragging and dropping the music files from the shared folder and no matter what I try, I still cannot get iTunes on my iMac to work properly. I have been searching around the support forums for others who might have had this issue but I cannot seem to find much. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I had not tried that before, but from your suggestion, I went ahead and did it and it seems to have gotten rid of the crossfade issues I was experiencing but whenever I try and listen to a preview in the iTunes music store it still does not appear to be working. Also, I was testing a number of tracks and it seems like there are a few tracks in particular that will make iTunes stop playing when I click on them and then if I attempt to play something else, iTunes says it is playing but no sound is coming from it.
What I have found that is interesting is the first time I ran the Disk Utility it repaired a HUGE number of misc. files. After running it and still experiencing problems I tried to run it again but this time the files were not as numerous and were all within the /Library/CoreServices menu. Each subsequent time I ran the Disk Utility and rebooted, I tried to run the Disk Utility again and the same files seem to still be having the same issues. This is just an example of one of the files I have been having an issue with.
Permissions differ on "System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/RemoteDesktop.menu/Contents/Resources/zh_TW.lproj/RemoteDesktopMenu.nib" , should be drwxr-xr-x , they are -rwxr-xr-x .
Repaired "System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/RemoteDesktop.menu/Contents/Resources/zh_TW.lproj/RemoteDesktopMenu.nib" .
One in particular gave me a Warning and said it could not be repaired. I'm not sure if it is important to repair but I still seem to be having some issues here and there. Here is the message from the Disk Utility regarding the file in question.
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.

Issues with FP on old iMac running 10.6.8

Hi,
I'm sorry if this has been posted before, but I am having issues with installing FP on my old iMac running 10.6.8.
It seems to go through the motions, but it doesn't appear to install properly, as some websites are blank. Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a possible solution?
If I am not able to make FP 13.0 work on this computer, I may have to revert back to an older version of FP. All my usual websites worked well on FP 12.0, but not on 13.0. Does anyone know where I can install an older version of FP? I looked everywhere on the website but everything forced me back to FP 13.0, and there is no way of circumventing it.
Thank you so much for your help and attention to my dilemma.
Kind regards,
GrandSlam

I had problems after updating Flash Player on my 10.6.8 too, so I went back to 11.9.900.117 and everything worked again.
I was afraid Adobe had dropped support for 10.6 already, so I didn't do any updates after that.
But now I think there was some incompatibility only with that particular version (I don't remember the number), because just now I've installed 13.0.0.214 and things work as desired.

Having issues with wireless on my iMac

Hello,
I have had my iMac since August of 2011 and sometime last year I decided to upgrade to Lion (like maybe a two three months after I got it). The upgrade was rather smooth, with the big exception that ever since I have updated to Lion I have had annoying issues with my Wireless Internet. I know that this is a known issue, but I am hoping to get some answers/assistance... maybe there is something I can do in my particular case.
Originally the issue was that whenever I turned on the computer from sleep, the Internet was disconnected. Now, I have a been a iMac/Mac Mini user for over 7 years now and I never had such issue, you turn on the computer, the Internet goes on with it too. It would require me to manually connect to the Internet evertime by selecting our Wireless Network from the drop-down menu.
About, I want to say, two months ago? Apple sent out a fix via Software Update that said it would correct issues with the iMac wireless not turning on when returning from sleep, "Finally!" I thought and I enthusiatically waited for the update to come.... and it came and it just made things worse. It doesn't make me manually connect the Network anymore, but it takes it sweet time connecting (like a minute some times) and other times it will connect and disconnect a few times before not giving any more problems. Oh did I mention sometimes it just decides to turn off for no reason at all? Yeah, happens a lot. Especially annoying when I am excersizing my nerd rights and playing an MMO and suddenly get booted from the game because for whatever reason my Internet decides to log me off.
This morning, it was connected to the Internet but websites were taking forever to download, eventually Chrome was just giving up and saying it couldn't connect... but the Internet was connected (full bars if it makes any difference). I tried turning Airpor on and off but no dice. Now, this totally sounds like a router issue, except my boyfriend was sitting behind me on his brand-spanking-new HP and he was happily surfing Reddit or whatever he does whilst online, no issues there.
So the question is: Is it possible to "revert" back to the time before the update? I guess I could use Time Machine, but uhh, I dont want to revert the whole computer. So how exactly would that work (Time Machine noob here)? Is it possible to look at updates done and simply remove? Also, is there a more amicable fix that packing the whole thing up and taking it to the Genius bar? I'm willing to try some DIY fixes as long as they dont involve messing up with the whole network, especially since no other device is having issues, just this one and we have a lot devices.

If you have a router that can do a 5GHZ network try it. There seems to be less interference in that part of the spectrum.

Move the Base Station If interference is particularly bad in one part of your house or office, move the base station to another location. But this can be tricky if your AirPort base station has to connect to the broadband feed coming into the house and that feed happens to enter at a particularly interference-prone spot.
Use the 5GHz Band Compared with the 2.4GHz band, the 5GHz band is practically empty. The newest AirPort Extreme Base Station is one of the few Wi-Fi base stations designed for home use that work in that 5GHz band. All of Apple’s Core 2 Duo laptops and iMacs (except the discontinued 17-inch 1.87GHz model) can also use the 5GHz band; with the build-to-order wireless option, so can the Mac Pro.
To switch to the 5GHz band, launch AirPort Utility, select your base station, and switch to Manual Setup. Click on the AirPort button and select the Wireless tab. Select 802.11n Only (5 GHz) from the Radio Mode pop-up menu. Click on the Wireless Options button and select Use Wide Channels. Click on Update to restart the base station.
Currently, no Mac-compatible adapters enable you to use the 5GHz band in older Macs or with older versions of OS X.

Major Issues With Contacts

I'm extremely frustrated right now. The contacts on my Z10 have been messed up and no matter what I do to try to fix them, nothing works. Contacts are going missing, they are being merged with other contacts, their names are inexplicably changing and my setting for notifications always switch back to default. I put everything back, and it all starts getting screwy again within hours.
I'm running the latest official 10.1 release from Bell. My situation before was that all of my contacts sync with my Gmail Contacts, and this was working more or less fine. Facebook would sometimes override information with the stuff it had, but besides being a little annoying, I could always unlink the profile if I wanted. Since I updated and installed Skype (I uninstalled the Skype preview app and the problem persists), Contacts will merge two completely unrelated contacts sometimes. Other times contact will disappear completely or their name will change. If I try to change it back, instead of changing the information, it creates a "local contact" link and doesn't fix the rest of the contact profile. And no matter how many times I set a custom ringtone, they always go back to "default".
I like my Z10 and I've loved blackberry for a lot of years. But if I can't keep my contacts organized and correct, the phone isn't very useful to me. Any ideas or suggestions (or at least confirmation that this is a known bug that is being worked on) would be helpful and appreciated . Thank you.

The problems you have seem to come from "mixing" the contacts from different sources.
Try to do the following: In the contact list, go to settings. Set all the accounts (Twitter, Facebook, BBM etc.) to off except your email account.
Also, UNTICK the option called "Find More Contact Details".
If you have this options ticked, it will try to "enhance" your contacts with details found in the "Cloud".
Since I have unticked this setting, I have clean contacts.

Issue with email sync

I have configured 5 gmail accounts, 3 yahoo accounts and 1 live account. Everything was working fine until a day came that I was forced to change the password of all my G accounts. I changed it in my phone also but since then I cant sync just 1 gmail account. Not that I cant sync but its not loading the mails in the viewer. Email app works fine with other accounts. I tried deleting all the account and re-created all the accounts still its not working. I tried deleting it from email.nokia.com and STILL its not working. a 3 months ago I had the same issue with another G account. What I did then was I stopped using the Email app. I sstarted using it only a 3 weeks ago as I really needed a client on my phone. Wish someone could help me out from this really awkward situation

you do realize there isnt an ios 7.7.1 right?

Bulk API issue with contact imports

Is the bulk API having validation issues? I can update any existing or create any new imports.
Simply posting the content below from the tutorial now results in a validation error:
"name": "Docs Import Example",
"fields": {
"firstName": "{{Contact.Field(C_FirstName)}}",
"lastName": "{{Contact.Field(C_LastName)}}",
"emailAddress": "{{Contact.Field(C_EmailAddress)}}"
"identifierFieldName": "emailAddress",
"isSyncTriggeredOnImport" : "false"
Here is the error:
"failures":[{"field":"identifierFieldName","constraint":"Must be a string value, at least 1 character and at most 100 characters long."},{"field":"name","constraint":"Must be a string value, at least 1 character and at most 100 characters long."},{"field":"fields","constraint":"Is required."}]}

Seems like an issue with UD_ADUSER_LOCKED field value. Change it to non null value and retry.

Issue with Ford Sync (Microsoft Sync) & iPhone 4--Playing Music via USB

I have a 2011 Ford Flex and and iPhone 4. The Sync system will not play music via the USB connection. It is quite temperamental with the bluetooth as well. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Well I have a 2010 Fusion with Sync and an iPhone 4. Have had various issues getting things to work right all the time. I'm not sure if Sync in the 2011's is much different.
When you say it doesn't play music, what does it do when you give it the USB command? Does the iPhone charge when plugged into the USB port? If the phone charges and it seems to let you select USB but doesn't play any music, on your iPhone, go to iPod and you may see an accessory connected screen. Touch the icon next to SYNC and you will see SYNC and doc connector listed. Touch doc connector and see if the music is heard.
If you haven't already register at www.syncmyride.com you will find some community forums there with hints/steps on getting Sync and iPhone to work properly.
Generally though, there have been a lot of issues with SYNC and Apple devices.
Hope this helps.
