IPad asserts it is syncing to Exchange over the Air!

Hi,
I have and iPad and iPhone running os5.
I have an iCloud and Gmail Mail (imap) Mail accounts.
Looking at the sync options (info)  in iTunes show that for my iPad,
contacts and calendars are being synced:with a Microsoft
Exchange account over the air!
I don't have Sync Address Book or Sync iCal Calendars checked.
This message does not appear with the iPhone.
At one time I did have an exchange account but that was
at least 6 months ago....
What the heck is going on, am I holding my iPad wrong?
Jerry

Check with the Particular Store to see if they have a Trade In program in operation.

  • What does it mean, in iTunes, "your contacts are being synced with Microsoft Exchange over the air"?

    Hello,
    I'm trying to sync the contacts on my iPhone 5 with my contacts on my Mac Book Air (merge them), I'm also using Outlook (Microsoft) to manage my email account and my contacts.  I used to sync my contacts from my previous iPhone (4S) with my contacts on my Mac and also with contacts on Outlook.
    Now that I have iPhone 5 I missed that sync (iPhone-Mac-Outlook), so I figure it out that in iTunes there is this message: "your contacts are being synced with Microsoft Exchange over the air. Your contacts will also sync directly with this computer. This may result in duplicated data showing on your device"
    Every contact created on iPhone doesn't sync with my Mac or Outlook.
    How should I configure my iphone and my mac to sync properly??
    Thanks a lot!
    Kind Regards,

    Not surprisingly there have been no answers to this question because the only person who knows how to use iTunes/iCloud/iPhone is too busy.

  • New iPhone 5 syncs contacts to Microsoft Exchange over the air?

    Just got a new iPhone 5. It's not syncing my contacts. I've tried everything I can find here. However, there's this one little difference. In iTunes, I'm being told that my contacts are being synced with Microsoft Exchange over the air. ***? I don't have Microsoft anything on my comptuer!
    This is a new iPhone 5. I've imported all my contacts from my previous phone which has never been synced with anything. (Syncing didn't exist when I bought the phone.) I've switched all of the contanct information on, and ... nothing. I've tried syncing via iTunes. I've tried sycning via iCloud.
    Any new additions I make will sync via icloud (or iTunes), but none of the old contact information will sync to my comptuer. I know it has something to do with the "syncing with Micorsoft Exchange" message, but I have no idea how or why it defaulted to that setting. How do I change it? How do I get my contacts to sync from my phone to my computer?
    Thanks.

    randers4,
    Thank you for your reply. Strangely, the offending email account was the account set up at the store (not Apple store) for an iTunes account. I have no idea why they would have turned on the exchange sync in the fisrt place.
    I now know how to turn off the exchange sync. However, I'm not given the option of keeping the contacts on my iPhone if I switch it off. It will delete all of my contacts. Is there a way to avoid this? I'm sure I read something in the discussions here, can you point me back in the right direction? The same thing is going to happen wiith my emails. Unfortunately, I have dozens of emails already...
    Again, thanks for your help.

  • Upgraded to iTunes 11...now insists on syncing contacts/calendars 'over-the-air' but can't change settings

    Upgraded to iTunes 11, at which time it decided it was better for me to sync my calendar/contacts "over-the-air" from iCloud (when I never had this activated before).  Now it says "your contacts are being synced with your iPhone over the air from iCloud" (which is not true...it doesn't work and changes in one place are not made in another - same goes for calendars).  Also states "Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on your iPhone" (likewise not true...I've got them deactivated in my iPhone and still doesn't work).
    Not sure why Apple thought they should go ahead and change my preferences that were setup to go to iCloud, especially when it doesn't even work.  Now no contact or calendar changes I make in Outlook transfer to iPhone or vice-versa (even with a manual sync).
    Anyone know what the h*ll is going on with this?  To say I'm annoyed would be an understatement.  May be time to ditch Apple and the iPhone, first no YouTube & Google Maps now they insist on not allowing me to sync the way I want.  Total BS.

    I have this same problem too - thanks for the heads up that all my NOTES will get wiped.  Going to have to workaround by dumping all my notes from Outlook to ONENOTE on the cloud.  Then not really using NOTES on my iPhone and iPad.  Apple is slowly becoming more and more successful in getting me to NOT use MS products, like Outlook.  Actually, my cloud strategy will be to keep my longer notes on ONENOTE and relegating NOTES on iPhone/iPad to just quick hits that I jot here and there.  I guess iPhone/iPad notes will then get synced over iCloud but will not end up in Outlook.  What a pain in the arse!  I need a seriously freaking flow chart to keep track of all of my cloud activity.  It's making my head spin.

  • Contact "GROUPS" won't sync via MobileMe "over the air"

    I am having a problem. I just bought an iPod Touch (the latest model). I have upgrade to the latest iOS version. When I use MobileMe over the air syncing to sync my Address Book contacts, I don't get my groups. When I choose "Groups" it's empty and I can't get back to "all contacts." It does sync all my contacts though.
    However, when I turn off the MobileMe sync, and sync it manually, by checking "Sync Address Book Contacts" in iTunes, I get my groups back. I have an iPhone 4, and this isn't issue present. Maybe it's an iPod issue?
    I only see groups if I "check" sync. Any ideas? Again, iPhone 4 works fine.
    Bryan

    Who knows what the problem was... I removed groups in Address Book, MobileMe had different ones, iPod different ones, etc... MobileMe needs some work. After an hour, I had to delete the groups then recreate them, then everything seemed to work fine.

  • Sync from phone (over-the-air NOT PC/Ovi Suite) - ...

    Everytime I initiate the Sync command from my phone (N86 8MP 21.006) it comes to the part where it says "Sending..." and then freezes somewhere in the middle of that with a Connection Error!
    ALSO... after a few failed attempts, APPARENTLY it DID Sync something!! HOWEVER........... I only have 823 Contacts on my phone.. on the Ovi.com website (when I log in with my account) it says I now have 831 Contacts!! I am utterly terrified to Sync again and mix up my Contacts with old ones that I had deleted or something ;-S
    Any help would be appreciated..Thanx
    Mido

    Normally I would advice to just sync with using the Ovi Suite, but I suggest you go over the settings for sync on the Ovi Site.

  • Push calendar and contacs items??? (Exchange over the Air)

    Hello and following question,
    when I set up the exchange synchronisation to "push", what happend with caldendar and contact items??
    I received emails via push (work fine). But my calendar and my contacs are only up to date when I (re)start the calender or contactlist.
    When I set up synchronisation to "load", I receive emails after 15 min. But not calendar and contacs.
    That a major problem when you start your calendar, wait until your iPhone is locked, after hours your unlock your iPhone and your calender isn`t up to date.
    You had to exit the calendar and restart it.
    calendar and contacs synchronisation works only manuall? Is that correct?

    Hello,
    I solved the problem.
    No problems when I sync over 3G from external.
    But when I am inhouse the iPhone connects via WLAN, too.
    Today I disabled 3G and tadaaa: no problems, push work over WLAN with mail, contacs and calendar.
    I had to disable 3G when Im inhouse.
    Can I define rules, that WLAN is preferered when it is connected??

  • Birthdays again/Exchange sync over-the-air

    Hi all,
    I have a problem while I sync my contacts with Exchange 2007 over-the-air. Some contacts on iPhone have incorrect birthdays (they appear off by one day). The solution described here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2456 doesn't work for me because I have no ability to reset sync history when I use over-the-air sync.
    If I try to sync my contacts with iTunes (over-the-air sync turned off in iPhone settings), everything is ok - birthdays have correct dates.
    Is there solution to get in iPhone contacts with correct birthdays when sync with Exchange over-the-air?
    Thanks!

    Roy, no, I have no indication that Notes are being sync'd over the air, by Mobile Me. That is why I made that comment, that Apple needs to clean up the Notes sync interface so that it is consistent with the other MobileMe sync aware apps. To me It appears that the Notes sync was just added in, so my guess is iOS 4.0.1 will clear that up a bit.
    Are you sure you have Push turned on? Without that, OTA syncing will not occur. Also check in your Mac's System Preferences under the Mobile Me pane to make sure Notes are being sync'd. Not sure that affects the iPhone, but it affects the syncing in the cloud, so that could be an issue too.
    I can suggest one other thing to try.
    That is to do a hard reset of your iPhone (home button/and power button) This will clear your caches. Don't know if it dumps the Notes database, but it may.
    Then immediately upon restart, do the Notes replacing procedure that I outlined. The key is to remove the confusion. As I said, once I cleaned up all my Notes and consolidated them in one place, then reset them all on the iPhone, everything worked as expected.
    I am a heavy Notes user, and use them extensively on the road on the iPhone and in my office on my Mac and at home on my MBPro and another iMac, so I expect them to be all the same and always updated. This procedure worked for me.

  • Do you need to sync the iPhone through iTunes if you sync over the air?

    Do you need to sync the iPhone through iTunes if you sync over the air?
    My MacBook Pro and iPhone 3G with OS 4 synchronize with each other over the air through my Snow Leopard Server. Though when I connect it to iTunes I see that it allows me to checked "Synchronize with this computer" type options and I'm confused as to why that would be if they're synchronizing over the air.
    Can someone help clarify when those should be checked? Because I do want everything that's on my computer synchronized with my iPhone and vice versa, but if I add the accounts on my phone manually that seems to work too.

    In regards to syncing contacts and calendar events, if you are syncing this data over the air on your iPhone and the contacts and calendar events synced over the air on your iPhone match the Address Book and iCal data on your Mac, there is no reason to sync this data direct with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac via the iTunes sync process.

  • Sync Exchange Notes to iOS devices over the air

    Hi,
    Can someone help me as how to sync my Exchange notes to the iOS devices over the air ?

    I updated my iPad OTA in my office at work and lost nothing at all. However, I did backup and sync with iTunes in the morning at home, in case something went bad.
    What you should do anytime that you update the device is to transfer purchases from the iPad into iTunes - File>Transfer Purchases - and you should backup the iPad as well. When you update the update the device, if something goes wrong, you can restore from the backup.
    However, iTunes should ask if you want to backup before you update, but just in case create the backup yourself before you update. The backup contains your app data and settings - along with other items - so make sure you backup first.
    If you have any other important files, you may want to transfer them to your computer as well, prior to the update.
    Transfer purchases.

  • I don't have Mobile me, but my notes on my ipad and my iphone no longer sync over the air. Any answers?

    I don't have Mobile Me, but my ipad and iphone notes used to sync over the air and they no longer do.
    Does anyone have any answers?

    In iCal's preferences, you can configure whether and when events get purged.
    As for recovering old, deleted events... I don't suppose you have backups?...

  • Your contacts are being synced with your iPad over the air from iCloud

    tl;dr: iPhone works properly with iTunes 11.1 and iPad does not. Can't sync with both iTunes and iCloud to separate, distinct Calendar/Contact/Notes groups.
    Explanation:
    Ever since iTunes 11 was released (I'm on 11.1 now) I'm unable to sync Contacts, Calendars, and Notes via iTunes because I'm using over the air syncing from iCloud. As late as iTunes 10.7, this was okay, because "On My PC" groups would sync perfectly with iTunes, and iCloud groups would sync perfectly with iCloud.
    In fact, this still works, today, but only on my iPhones.
    However on the iPad I get the message "Your contacts are being synced with your iPad over the air from iCloud." (Well, yeah, I know that. My iCloud contacts should continue to sync via iCloud. I don't want to turn off this behavior.)
    The "workaround" used to be sticking to iTunes 10.7, which had correct behavior for both iPad and iPhone. Of course iOS7 nuked that option.
    Is anyone aware of another workaround? (Merging my professional Outlook stuff into my iCloud stuff is not a workaround.)

    I can place a bounty. $20 USD to your Paypal account for a fix.

  • Over-the-air sync of iphone 4s with windows xp pc

    how do i sync my iphone calendar with a calendar on my windows xp pc over the air, that is without connecting by wire.

    Your husband's Android is almost certainly probably synching with a server somewhere, not with his desktop computer directly. If you have your calendar on some sort of server - iCloud, Google Calendar, Microsoft Exchange, or the like - then you also can sync your calendar from your iPhone.
    Regards.

  • Sync via cable versus over the air

    when travelling outside USA (Vancouver BC Canada) have "Airplane Mode" turned ON and Data-Roaming OFF
    - but have laptop (Mac Book Air) - how to 'force' a 'sync' using cable when iPhone 'apps' and iTunes think I'm syncing 'over the air'?

    POP (post-office protocol) is only for email retrieval (and SMTP, simple message transfer protocol, for sending).
    If you want to sync calendar/contacts, then it is done over SyncML (synchronization markup language).
    Also "proprietary" synchronization protocols, like Microsoft's ActiveSync allows message/contacts/calendar/tasks synchronization.
    Nokia supports ActiveSync over-the-air through the Mail for Exchange software.
