I saw contact and notes bluetooth sync options for my MacBook in Settings!

I went under the advanced options for my MacBook, which was paired to the iPhone, in order to 'forget' the device so as to reinitiate a pairing as i had freshly installed Snow Leopard. This time I saw some extra options for the device. One of them was Contacts sync. There was some 'advanced' options too but I decided to explore them after repairing the device so i selected 'forget this device'. After repairing they never reappeared!
PS: my iphone 3g is running iOS4.1 and is not jail broken.

WiFi or Bluetooth syncing is not supported by the iPhone, so it doesn't really matter if these options appear or not as you wouldn't be able to do so anyway.

The one non-Apple device I want to hold on to is my Blackberry. Apologies - put it down to age. is it possible for me to sync Calendars? [what IS an Ical?] Contacts and Notes etc syncs easily - only Calendar problem. i do hv a Google calendar/account.

New to Mac (at 60+ years] and enjoying it. But one non-Apple device want to hold on to is Blackberry 9900. I can sync contacts, tasks - but NOT Calender. I get message telling me to set up an iCal. I have Google Calendar and happy to use that as 'hub' as it were, if that does job. Syncing my Air and smartphone is important - help please?

Another weird thing related to above question....when I first plugged in the itouch, it asked if I wanted to update the software and I did. Then it went into restore. Then the itouch itself went to a grey screen and asked me questions such as did I want to back up to icloud, use find my itouch, etc. plus it wanted my Apple sign in. I did all that. Once the itouch came on, I noticed that my daughter's music and photos were gone. So that was all good. But then at some point later when I was trying to figure out how to sync, I noticed another notice from Apple on my computer asking if I wanted to update. I assumed that was for my computer not the itouch this time. I did that. Then the itouch was back to the grey tones and the same sign in questions. Now my daughter's photos are back on it but not her music. When I click Sync, nothing happens as far as loading the music. Could this be that my music library is too big for the memory? Wouldn't it tell me that rather than just not do it? As you can see, I am very confused.

Outlook to iPhone sync failure – Sync suddenly stopped working for calendar events but continued for contacts and notes.   Finally Fixed!!! SUPPORT TEAM – PLEASE SEE THIS – Complete explanation of cause and correction steps.

The issue: Outlook to iPhone sync failure – Sync suddenly stopped working for calendar events but continued for contacts and notes.   Finally Fixed!!!
SUPPORT TEAM – PLEASE SEE THIS – Complete explanation of cause and correction steps.
The cause: It is now clear what caused this problem. For years I had several “all-day” events in my Outlook calendar (birthdays, anniversaries, etc.). In May 2012 I decided to make some of them one hour events so I could add alerts to remind me of the event. I did this by dragging them in Outlook to the time I wanted and expanding them to the time slot desired and then adding the alarm.
The symptom: Syncing stopped working for the calendar but continued working for contacts and notes. I didn’t realize sync was failing until months later when I missed two very important phone calls, so when I noticed it the cause was not obvious.
The failed attempts: I’m head of a software firm and my calendar sync is a crucial to my business life so I took this on with a vengeance. From a quick look at events in Outlook and the iPhone I could see that the problem started in May 2012. Events before May were in both Outlook and the iPhone but events after May were only one or the other. Unfortunately I had changed several other things at the same time relating to other events so again the cause was not obvious. MANY calls with AppleCare proved them incompetent so my internal IT guys assisted trying many things. We tried a huge number of calendar changes and several versions of iTunes, iPhone OS and Office as well as both iPhone 4 and 5, all without success.
The fix: After 18 months of frustration, MANY hundreds of $ expense and MANY hours of wasted time I saw a blog that had a calendar sync problem and it indicated all day events were related. I changed the display of the Outlook calendar to the list view, added columns so I could see “all day” event check marks as well as times of events, sorted on the “all day” event column to move them to the top, and for all events that were “all day” events AND had a start and end time, I removed recurrence and then added the annual recurrence back…
After I fixed all events that had BOTH “all day” set and had a start/end time, I tried another sync. It synced for the first time in 18 months!
Problem occurred May 2012 – fixed Nov 2013

Hi, to remove dummy '_ModGrp' entries, rather than crashing the 'Suppr' key on your keyboard, you can use this basic VBA macro (launched for instance from Excel).
It will recursively remove all '_ModGrp...' folders
Sub RemoveFolders_Click()
    Dim oOutlook As Outlook.Application
    Set oOutlook = New Outlook.Application
    Set objNameSpace = oOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
    Call CleanFolders(objNameSpace.Folders)
End Sub
Sub CleanFolders(objFolders As Outlook.Folders)
    For i = objFolders.Count To 1 Step -1
        If Left(objFolders(i).Name, 7) = "_ModGrp" Then
            objFolders.Remove( i )
        Else
            If Not objFolders(i).Folders Is Nothing Then
                Call CleanFolders(objFolders(i).Folders)
            End If
        End If
    Next i
End Sub

You need to use the backup of your PC to transfer all the music files to iTunes on the Mac.
If you have no backup then you have a difficult task ahead of you as iTunes will only allow you to sync purchased music from the iPhone back into iTunes. Any music you loaded into iTunes yourself will not transfer from the iPhone to iTunes, this is to prevent stealing of music. To sync iTunes purchased music from the iPhone to iTunes, connect the iPhone and open iTunes, but when asked do NOT sync the device. then right click on the iPhone in the iTunes source list and select the 'Transfer Purchases' option, you will also find this commend in the File menu.
If you are in the US, you can use the new iTunes in the Could feature to redownload your iTunes purchased music / apps / books for free.
If you want to transfer all the content from your iPhone to you Mac then you will need to use Google to find a 3rd party piece of software that will do this for you.

Thank you.

So you have business contacts that were lost... do you not have these on a Database in some shape or form? Sounds like you need to invest in a RAID1 backup setup for your computer so you dont have this issue in the future.
As for repairing your problem, sounds like you are going to need to start from scratch at this point or if the data is still on your phone look into a program that can take the information from the phone onto iTunes.

TS4118 Ever since I got the iphone 5 my phone/icloud calender and contacts will not remain synced with Outlook. I am constantly having to sign in and sign out and unlink and re link to Outlook.

Ever since I got the iphone 5 my phone/icloud calender and contacts will not remain synced with Outlook. I am constantly having to sign in and sign out and unlink and re link to Outlook. this creates multiple categories of contacts and calenders and I have no idea which is syncing with my phone, ipad, outlook. Help. thanks.

Sounds like the Outlook plugin isn't working properly. You could try a couple of things:
Go to Start>Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs, uninstall iCloud, the download and install the iCloud contol panel for Windows again from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1455. Then sign back into your iCloud account and check your syncing settings again.
Uninstall iTunes and all of its components as by following this guide exactly: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall iTunes. You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful. (Uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.) This will replace the Outlook plugin.
Then try your calendar again and see if it will sync properly now.

How to transfer SMS and Call History from Iphone 5 to Iphone 6 plus? Only the contacts, calendar, safari bookmarks and notes have synced.

Hi! Please help. I have synced my IPhone 5 to Itunes. When I try to sync it to Iphone 6 plus, only the contacts, calendar, safari bookmarks and notes have synced to the latest date. The rest like SMS and Call History have only synced to June 2013.

I upgraded from an iPhone 4S to iPhone 6 Plus, I don't like to run iTunes, and iCloud backup is not so reliable, I think. Then I searched on the Internet, and some articles told me that I can directly transfer data from Phone to iPhone with some tools.
I doubt it first, then I gave a shot on one of them for the free trial. I follow the steps to transfer about 200 sms from my 4S to 6 Plus, and it works!
Got this from here: http://www.cultofmac.com/296711/transfer-data-new-iphone-6-imazing/
Hope this helps!

Ipod and ipad contacts and notes not syncing with my Dell 64 bit Windows 7 computer

Can anyone help? My Ipod Touch and Ipad 2 contacts and notes are not syncing with my Dell Windows 7 64 bit computer.

I assume that you have synced with Outlook before and it has stopped working. If you've never connected with Outlook before, take a look here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1418 . If that did not help try chosing Windows Contacts to sync. Does that work (contacts show up in Contacts folder on your PC)?

My Outlook calendar won't sync with my ipod touch and vice versa. Wherever I input the info is where it stays. Contacts and notes sync but not calendar.

My iPod Calendar won't sync with my Outlook Calendar and vice versa. Wherever I input the information is where it stays. My contacts and notes sync just fine. Please help. Very frustrated. It used to work just fine. I just upgraded to iTunes 10.2 version.

I have the same problem since I updated to iTunes 10.2 Sue (I think). For me this was somewhere in January.
I wasn't sure iTunes was the issue, until I read your post. I tested syncing a note, and that works fine.
My 2nd generation Ipod Touch runs on IOS 4.2.1. It won't upgrade to 4.3.
Possibly the synchonisation between iTunes 10.2 and IOS 4.2.1 doesn't work correctly.
Has somebody else solved this isue? I use both calendars (on iPod Touch and on PC) for work and private matters.
Otherwise I have to uninstall iTunes 10.2 and downgrade to 10.2.

I'm using the sync option for when I'm not near my desktop and no matter what it won't work its telling me my account name or password is not correct and it is!

I'm using the sync option for when I'm not near my desktop and no matter what it won't work its telling me my account name or password is not correct and it is!

This is from my personal experience:
It almost happens every time I tried to connect with Sync from my Android phone, the window asking me to enter my account name and password always shows up. And if I enter the information, it'll say I have the wrong password, etc. My workaround is to click the "cancel" button. But it does not cancel immediately. The window will stay on for a while (usually a few minutes), then it'll disappear and start connecting to Sync. And it'll connect and sync successfully.
You can try this workaround but you have to be patient to wait for the window to disappear.
I don't know what is the cause of this, but it has happened ever since FF4 for Mobile came out. I have searched around and couldn't find any solutions.

New software update has cleared my contacts and notes app no longer working

Help! I'm traveling and today when I turned on my phone getting off the plane, the s/w updated and all of my contacts are gone. i use the HTC People app, not google contacts. Also the Notes application no longer works, and comes up with an error to force close. Any ideas on reversing the s/w upgrade or getting my contacts back? Thank you.

If you were using Verizon's backup assitant you should be able to hit Menu | Settings | Accounts & Sync | add account and select backup assitant and it should prompt you for your pin number and restore your contacts. If you were not your only option for restore would be if you had backup software installed, or if you sync'ed using HTC Sync to outlook or some other program...I wish you the best of luck.

Address Book Accounts not showing sync options

Address Book > Accounts not showing sync options. - just a blank panel to right of "On My Mac". Cause could possibly be that I imported current contact list from vcf export of AB. Anyone any toughts on how can I retrieve the syncing options?

Don't take what I have to say as fact, because I don't use a Mac and could be mistaken. I remember reading last night something about people taking and checking the box on the Summary page of iTunes to replace the info on the iPhone with the computer. Once that was done, it seemed to correct this issue and showed the address groups after that.
It might be worth the experiment, however I would make sure I had a backup of the phone before I tried it. I know it was only the last day or show that I read it, so if you want to search the forum before you try it, be my guest. I don't want to ruin anything for you, but I just remember reading that someone did that and it fixed it.
Hope this helps.
