I'm unable to transfer my contacts to my iPhone 3G during an iTunes sync. Other content appears to be syncing OK and all my ios5 devices are working fine! Can anybody help?

I'm unable to transfer my contacts to my IPhone 3G (latest ios 4.2.1 installed) during an iTunes sync. All other content appears to sync OK and my ios5 devices (iPhone 4s and iPad 2) are syncing fine.  I suspect this could be an iCloud issue as my iPhone 3G is not compatible with iCloud.  Can anyone help me out with this issue?

I solved this issue by turning off iCloud contacts sync - then my iPhone 3G would sync through iTunes as normal.  I then just turned iCloud contacts sync back on.  Job done!

    Try deleting that app, then see if you have the same issue.

    InDesign CS5 is not opening after deactivation/activation. How can I fix this? Illustrator and Photoshop open and are working fine. Please help!

    First of all, thank you for replying so promptly to my posts this morning!
    I can't remember how I got the software on his computer, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't through migration assistant.
    I was looking into doing an uninstall of InDesign and a fresh install. However, I initially downloaded the CS5 suite digitally and I can't find out how I am able to perform a fresh install of InDesign. Do you know where I find this info or gain access to download just InDesign again? I can't seem to find anything in my Adobe account that shows where I might do another download.

  • Will I lose my photos in iPhoto if upgrade to a latest version? I have upgraded my system to Mavericks and now my iPhoto doesn't work. Can anyone help, please?

    Will I lose my photos in iPhoto if upgrade to a latest version? I have upgraded my system to Mavericks and now my iPhoto doesn't work. Can anyone help, please?

    Most Simple Back Up:
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

  • I recently update Safari and it crashes every time I opened. Can anybody help me?

    I recently update Safari and it crashes every time I opened. Can anybody help me?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • Hello. I am having trouble using Mobileme with microsoft oulook 2010. .The error Mobileme has stopped working . Can anybody help. ??Thanks

    Hello
    I am having trouble using Microsoft Outlook 2010. When starting Microsoft Outlook displays the error message Mobileme has stopped working. Can anybody help.
    Thanks

    Well yes, of course you are having trouble using MobileMe because MobileMe no longer exists and has not existed for the last 2 years at least.
    MobileMe has been replaced by iCloud, so you will never be able to use MobileMe because it does not exist.
    Also, I would suggest that you look more closely before you post, because you have posted this in an iPhone forum and this question has nothing to do with iPhones.  You would get more help if you posted in the correct forum.

    Hello Philly,
    I believe that when you reset your ipod(command given from the computer, right?)  touch WHILE the ipod was updating, It cleared the system in the middle of writing files, thus corrupting(equivalent of cutting of in the middle of a sentence) the basic running system.
    I suggest you go to an apple store and ask for a technical diagonosis in person. they may offer to help if the problem is fixable. If your ipod is still under warrenty, i would guess it would be free/low cost.
    ~Remember, I am just giving an educated guess on limited information

  • My iPod touch shows that it is charging but it actually doesn't charge and I've tried to restore/ restart it but the only icon is the charging icon with the battery icon with a bit of red fill and a small lightning icon below it. Can anybody help me?

    My iPod touch shows that it is charging but it actually doesn't charge and I've tried to restore/ restart it because the only icon is the charging icon, the one with the battery icon with a bit of red fill and a small lightning icon below it. Can anybody help me and give me solutions before I go to an apple service center?

    Place the iPod Touch into DFU mode.  This will be similer to what the factory would do to install the iOS onto new iOS devices.
    Placing it into DFU mode will allow you to "format" and install the current iOS for that device.
    To place your iOS device into DFU mode.
    First connect you iOS device to you computer.
    Open iTunes if not already open
    Now turn off your iOS device using the power swipe.
    Press the home and sleep button on your iOS device for 10 seconds.
    Release the sleep button but carry on holding down the home button.  For another 10 seconds.
    Your iOS device should now be on DFU.  Click on restore and iTunes will download the lastest iOS for your device.
    Hopefully that sorts it if not, you will have to go to a sevice centre or call Apple Care up and get them to collect it and repair it. (replace it)

  • My Ipod wont play all of my songs they just stopped working. Can anybody help?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • I have been trying to put music I bought on I tunes on my Samsung Note 2 phone but it won't play.I try to convert them to mp3 format so I can play them on my phone but it won't let me convert them because it says they are protected. Can anybody help me?

    I have been trying to put music I bought on Itunes on my Samsung Note 2 but my media player won't play m4p files so I tried to convert the files to mp3 but I couldn't, because a message says they are protected files. I then tried downloading different media player apps to see if they would play them but had no success.Can anybody help with a solution to this problem?

    First quit iTunes and look in your iTunes folder.
    On Windows, the iTunes folder is in your My Music folder.
    On Mac, the iTunes folder is in your Music folder.
    Follow this path:    iTunes > iTunes Media > Music >
    Here there should be all your music folders. Open the folders containing the music that is not playing. Right click "get info" (mac) or right click "properties" (windows).
    This window will tell you the file type. iTunes will play music in AAC, MP3, and Lossless, etc.
    If the files are .wma you will need to convert them into ACC or MP3 format for it to play on an iPod. In iTunes, highlight the tracks that you want to convert, then on the menu bar, Advanced > Create AAC/MP3 version and the tracks will convert. Delete the old files.
    If the file extenstion is anything like .exe .txt .rar  then you don't have an audio file.

  • Ihave synced my IPAD to my IMAC and the password on my IPAD no longer works.  Can anybody help?

    I synced my IPAD 2 to my IMAC and my password on my IPAD no longer works.  My IPAD is disabled for longer and longer after each password I try.  I have tried my IMAC password and also my APple ID password.  Can anybody help?

    If you can't remember the passcode that you set on it (which won't be the same as your iTunes or Mac passwords unless you set it the same), then you will need to connect the iPad to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
