IOS 4.1 Contacts Sync With Any Mail server Annoying Bug

Hello
i saw there was already few people that notice this but today i found about this problem and it can be very annoying.
this information was checked on more then 20 devices , and the problem started only since 4.1 version (don't know about 4.0.2)
After you will set an Exchange/Zimbra/Open-Xchange or any other Mail server account , by default the IOS 4.1 will save the contacts in Iphone local Memory , this need to be change in the Settings to use the account you setup - otherwise new added contacts would not syncronize with your server and we all know that this can be very annoying to find out when you will change to new iphone or any other reason that will make you to reset your device and find out that all the new contacts vanished.
I hope that Apple will fix this in the next update because in previous versions i never bump into such problem .
I would like to know if there is any way to sync those new contacts (not by delete them and add them again) with the Server . because after setting up Exchange server there is no way to sync your Contacts with your PC.
P.S - big thanks to Asher Karsis that Notice me about this problem.

I was so glad to get multiple Exchange account support with iOS 4. I have been synching with my work account (calendar, mail) and with my Google accounts (calendar, mail, contacts). After upgrading to iOS 4.1 three days ago, my Google accounts appear to be working fine but my work account refuses to connect to the Exchange server for calendar or mail.
My company forced a passcode when I originally added the account. For troubleshooting I removed the account and recreated it. The account verifies but never requires that I have a passcode. I then removed all of my Exchange accounts, restarted my phone and recreated my company Exchange account. Again, verifies without requiring a passcode, and neither my calendar nor my mail will connect - zero events, zero emails. My mail even proudly says it updated and shows the current time/date stamp - but nothing. When I upgraded to 4.02, I had to set up a passcode. I am highly suspicious that because 4.1 is not synching properly because it is not handshaking correctly regarding the security on the Exchange Server ... that is my guess. And I echo, IT NEEDS FIXED! I am screwed not being able to get my emails and calendar events on-the-fly.

HT1414 My iPhone4 (iOS 6) does not sync with iTunes. The message displayed suggests to return the iPhone to factory settings (which I cannot do). This happened after the iPhone was upgraded to iOS6 and performed one sync. Any ideas?

TS1347 How do I sync with windows mail contacts with my iPhone 4S?

How do I sync with windows mail contacts with my iPhone 4S? I want to move my email contact information from Windows Mail to my iPhone 4S

You don't need Outlook to sync contacts. You do have Windows Contacts available which is a supported address book application for syncing contacts with the iPhone.
Windows Live Mail is not an email client. Windows Live Mail is an email account that can be accessed via webmail access using a browser or with an email client such as with Outlook or Windows Mail on a PC.
You can export your Windows Live Mail contacts from your Windows Live Mail online address book for import into the Windows Contacts address book application on your PC which is supported for syncing contacts with your iPhone.

The problem is that the POP3 client is not issuing a DELE command to remove the email from the server.

IMac Mail App every sync with Hotmail Mail,Contacts,Cald

Will Apple's iMac Mail App every sync with Hotmail Mail,Contacts,Calendar like the Ipad Mail App Does? I really would like to start uing the iMac Mail App. By the way I'm a first time Mac user.

I have the new 27" that just came out this year and I'm running OSX 10.8.2

Contacts sync with the wrong e-mail address

i added an e-mail address to my blackberry storm 9350, and now all of the contacts are syncing with that e-mail address - not the one that I want! Anyone else having this problem, and if so, how to fix it? I've gone through my phone over and over and haven't figured out a way to select which e-mail address my contacts sync with....

I have the same problem as the emails go to my iCloud account that I cannot access!!! I cannot answer the security questions as someone else must have set up my iCloud account. Nothing seems to work. It would be great if someone has some ideas as what can be done to recover the situation?

Why won't contacts sync with iphone

I'm loosing the will to live and I've spent hours trawling through the huge amount of fixes suggested on various sites but to no avail. I run a macbook pro, OSX10.6.8, Itunes 10.4 and the software on the iphone was updated today. Syncing with iTunes worked fine up until about 3 weeks ago - I don't know what happend but it just stopped. If I delete all the contacts in the mac address book (310) and run a sync nothing changes on the 472 iphone contacts. All the settings appear to be correct in the preferences. If I check the box to stop syncing contacts and delete all 472 contacts on the phone - they all dissapear. When I reset the sync contacts check box and check the "replace all the contacts on this phone during the next sync" box I get all 472 back again. Can anybody offer any help at all please before I slash my wrists!!

Clearly it doesn't work as I imagine! But I still don't understand what you mean. I'm not saying that I don't like Google's instructions,- what makes you say that? I'm saying that I think I've already followed them to the letter. How have I not? What else, exactly, do I need to do? Talk me through an example, please.
"You have added a data conduit between Google and your phone. But you have not put anything IN that conduit, save the data Google already has."
What I want to put into it is the contact data aleady on my phone (and in icloud). Google's instruction seems to say that to put something in the conduit, I just have to open Contacts on the iphone. Clearly that's not correct. So what do I do?
Here's what I'm refering to in Goolge's instructions:
"If you're using iOS 5 or iOS 6, follow these steps to set up contact syncing with Google Contacts:
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account... > Other > Add CardDAV Account.
Enter the following information in the fields:
Server: google.com
User Name: your full Google email address
Password: your Google account password
Tap Next at the top of the screen to complete the setup.
After you have completed the setup, open the Contacts app on your device. Syncing should begin automatically."
The last sentence seems to me to mean that opening Contacts will "put someting in the conduit".

Syncing ACT contacts while on automatic wireless syncing with Microsoft Exchange Server?

Does anyone know if this is possible? At the moment, my company is automatically performing a wireless sync between Outlook contacts and their Blackberry Curve 8330 devices. However, employees that travel also need their ACT contacts on their phone. I've researched CompanionLink and know that I can get the ACT contacts directly onto the Blackberry that way, but, the problem arises where the ACT contacts will end up syncing back to the Exchange server -- which we don't want. We want to keep the automatic syncing with Outlook, but periodically we want to do a one-way ACT transfer onto our Blackberries, without having those extra (approximately 5,000) contacts go back into Outlook. Is there an easy way to categorize/separate Outlook and ACT? Any ideas or workarounds?

I am trying to sync my Outlook 2007 with my palm Treo Pro but keep getting the same error - server could not be reached Error code
80072ee2. This is probably a basic question but the server you enter into the Microsoft Exchange settings in active sync is the mail server you have in Outlook 2007? eg mail.internode.on.net. I don't need to do anything to outlook 2007 to "activate" Microsoft Exchange.
I'm looking at the Internode setup guides and it looks as though you have a POP server. In that case, if you want to sync directly to the server, you would want to set it up for POP/SMTP rather than for Microsoft Exchange Server. Does that help?
If you do not want to sync over the air and instead want to sync only by USB/Bluetooth to your PC, I think that works quite differently. I don't have any experience with that.

All I did was install Zedge app in my PC and Iphone and try to download a ringtone from it. Please if someone can help me I would appreciate it.

Settings, Mail Contacts and Calendars, Select the Gmail account, Select "Fetch new Data, and you can try changing the interval to PUSH. If that doesn't work, change the Fetch frequency to something shorter. It sounds like you have it set to manually.

N8 and partial contacts sync with Ovi

Hi All:
I just set up my N8 yesterday and find that mine appears to work well apart from a niggling problem.... I transferred my contacts from the SIM to the phone, but when I synch it with the OVI contacts, only 32 contacts (out of ~100) transfer over. It stops at "F" for some bizarre reason. Any ideas out there??
Many thanks,
David

Oops - missed that you're syncing with an Exchange server.
Try turning off syncing of contacts (Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > work account, toggle Contacts OFF, wait a bit, then toggle it back ON. Alternatively, delete the Exchange account and then re-add it. You will get a prompt about what to do with the data currently on the phone (delete, keep, and perhaps merge - I don't recall). If there was a merge option, is that what you chose?
If that doesn't help, it may be that the behavior you're seeing is normal - contacts currently on the phone (pre-Exchange) may need to be kept (somewhat) separate from the Exchange contact list for security reasons, depending on policies set on the server side.

Can Iphone sync with any other calendar

Hi I was wondering if the new Iphone 3G is able to sync with any other calendars other than outlook. If there is a program or something.
Thanks for the help

Connect your iPhone to your computer with the USB-dock cable. In iTunes select your iPhone. You will see contact and calendar syncing in one of the tabs.

Will iPad mini sync with any iTunes and MacOS?

Will the latest iPad mini (with OS7) sync with any iTunes version and any MacOS? My old iPod syncs with iTunes 10 (10.6.3) on a MacG5 with 10.5.8 operating system. I'd like to sync the iPad Mini with this Mac, but I have my doubts since the computer is so old.

iOS 7 requires iTunes Version 11
OS X 10.6.8 = Snow Leopard... is the minimum OS X for iTunes 11

Snow Leopard Mail not sync with iPhone Mail (iCloud)?

Hello all,
Just like to query and confirm:
This is my sister's Mac Mini running Snow Leopard, and her iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1 on iCloud, she has activated iCloud on her iPhone, using the same Apple ID
She has told me her desktop Mac mini's mail doesn't seem to sync with the mail on her iPhone, but it was, about 3 weeks ago
I know both are different, her Snow Leopard would be running MobileMe and her iPhone would be running iCloud, even though both are using the same Apple ID.
Is the Mail part regardless of whether on MobileMe or iCloud, they would sync, or will not?
I guess the only thing to do now is to update her Mac mini to Lion as soon as possible.
Thanks and cheers.

Yes, you need to upgrade to Lion in order to use iCloud. MobileMe and iCloud are separate email services.

Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
