Why does my iphone 3gs not sync with contacts?

why does my iphone 3gs not sync with contacts? In fact it loses contacts during syncing.
In Itunes it is set to automatically sync to the laptop and in info sync contacts is checked and all contacts are checked.

On my Mac Pro, contacts and Thunderbird contacts are synced. I want my Iphone to sync with the Contacts on the Mac Pro. Incidently I am not using Icloud. Is that the problem?

TS4062 iPhone 6 not syncing iCal events

I created a few events on my laptop & discovered they're not syncing with my iPhone 6+. However, my iPad is updating events perfectly, so I don't think it's a router issue. So, I conneced the cable between the laptop & the phone. It performed a sync. For some reason, the "WIFI sync w/ this device" option was turned off on my laptop, so I turned that one & followed the trouble-shooting instructions for problems w/ syncing w/ WIFI. Turned off iTunes, turned my phone off & restarted. Same problem except now my phone won't update ical events even when connected via a cable. All my software is up to date on all devices.
Ideas?

Hi I had time to call Apple today and it seems hopeless. The reason why my iPhone will not sync is that I have an old Macbook (1,1) which cannot handle a higher version of OS X than 10.6.8, which itself cannot handle a higher version of iTunes than 11.4.
With this version of iTunes I can load and install new versions of the iOS and it backs up the phone when I do so. But I cannot start a backup by pressing the Backup button, iTunes stops backing up after a second. Also, I cannot sync, the button is always greyed out.
It does not look like Apple intends to upgrade their software and iTunes for my Macbook anytime soon so it seems I am out of luck...

IPhone 3GS not syncing purchased music to ITunes on Windows desktop.

When I plug iPhone into USB port on desktop, iTunes goes through the regular operation with photos and syncing purchased applications. However, it does NOT sync the music I purchased on the iPhone to my desktop. iTunes is to sync manually. When I select "Transfer Purchases from iPhone" nothing happens

it does NOT sync the music I purchased on the iPhone to my desktop.
It won't, the itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you manually manage music, and the computer you're connected to is authorized, you must use File>Transfer Purchases once your phone appears in the left device pane, is that what you're doing?

Iphone 3GS not syncing to Itunes and credit card declining with funds

I've been researching this for 2 months now and I know there are many with the same issue(s). Has there been a solution to this yet?
Issues:
-credit card declining with sufficient funds available
-Itunes does not recognize the iphone
-unable to purchase songs
-when there has been a new release or update, my iphone will all of a sudden sync.
Thanks for any assistance or pointers.

Hello Paul....
Hmm. My phone had a crack in the screen and got a bit wet in my bag when a drink leaked. It didn't turn on for a few days but then it worked again despite the fact the LED screen was a bit damaged but it was locked on the Emergency Calls only screen.
Anyway, today I did some trouble shooting and I was successful in connecting the iPhone with iTunes and selected "restore".
This meant iTunes did export software and I could then see the little progress bar active on my iphone...
Now my iPhone seems to be unlocked because it is not in the emergency screen anymore but it is asking my to select a language and then a country and then I cannot get any further....
In Devices in iTunes it says.... "There is a problem with your iPhone, please visit the Service Answer Centre."
Do you think I can revive it?
Regardless, I have good news! I found my lost iPhone 4s so I am a really happy bunny.
It would still be cool to the 3Gs working as I use it for my iPod.

Iphone does not sync ical w/macbook

Responses suggest going to ical system preferences and open icloud. My system preferences has NO icloud, only mobileme.

There is no mobile.me, it was closed down more than a year ago. You would have received several timely reminders about that:
June 2011:
iWeb publishing, MobileMe Gallery, and iDisk will all disappear as the company sunsets its current online service in favor of iCloud.
Other MobileMe services—including syncing of Mac Dashboard widgets, keychains, Dock items, and System Preferences—will not be part of iCloud, Apple says. Those syncing services will stop working as soon you migrate from MobileMe to iCloud. In addition, Apple says that while MobileMe members can no longer upgrade to a Family Pack or buy additional MobileMe storage, Family Pack members will be able to transition their accounts to iCloud individually, as long as it’s done before June 30, 2012.
http://www.macworld.com/article/1160728/apple_mobile_me_transition_faq.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MobileMe
August 2012:
As of today, visitors to MobileMe.com are no longer given the option to convert their accounts to iCloud or to retrieve old photos and files, with Apple now simply pointing users to iCloud.

IPhone Calendar not syncing correctly with iCal since Lion-install

Since installing Lion, the calendar on my iPhone is not syncing correctly:
Events created on my iPhone don't show on my Mac
Events edited on my iPhone don't change on my Mac
Events that I created in iCal on my Mac, for test-purposes, and then deleted immediately, show up on the iPhone when syncing.
Syncing through iTunes (not MobileMe).
Using WeekCal on my iPone, but it seems that the same is the case with the "original" calendar-app.
No similar experience prior to Lion-install.
iPhone is iOS 4.3.4 -up to date
Any ideas? Does anybody know how to reset the sync, for instance?

Hi, my name is Lucas, i'm an Apple Certified Technitian.
Last couple of weeks i've installed OSX Lion in a few Macs.
But one of them drove me crazy!
I have a Late 2007 White Macbook and i installed OSX Lion last week. I also have an iPhone 4 (Factory Unlocked) that i also updated to IOS 4.3.5 ... no problems syncing between them
Then i did the same with a 13'' Unibody MacBook Pro and an iPhone 4 (not unlocked)... no problems neither
Yesterday i installed Lion on a Mid2010 15" MacBook Pro and updated another iPhone 4 (Factory Unlocked) to IOS 4.3.5 and when i tried to sync the iphone with iTunes 10.4 nothing happened.
I mean, nothing.. the iTunes started syncing and when it gets to sync the calendars it stayied there forever.
I left it for hours and nothing.
As i said i'm an ACT so i tried everything.
1- Remove Calendars from iPhone and syncing again
1- Repair Permittions
2- Reinstall iTunes
3- Reset iTunes and iCal Preferences and Caches
4- Backup iCal - erase ical content and generate a new iCal database
5- Reset Syncing Prefs and logs
6- Use DiskWarrior from an external OSX
7- Reset PRAM
Nothing worked.
I thought it could be some conflict with Microsoft Outlook and/or Exchange server since this Mac is the only one of the three macs i installed that uses Outlook Sync and Exchange server and it's the only one that gave me trouble.
But disableing it didn't worked neither.
THE SOLUTION
I Already solved this thing out. But i still don't understand the logic of all this... anyway, what y did is this:
1- turn off microsoft outlook sync with iCal (from outlook preferences)
2- Backed up iCals (Just in case)
3- Create a new Calendar Category (by default you have Work and Home... i created one called Test)
4- i Created a new task at that calendar
5- In iTunes uncheck the "Sync iCal" box and sync the iPhone
6- Check th "Sync iCal" box, then check the "sync the selected calendars" box
7- Check the "Test" calendar and sync the iPhone.
This worked so i started creating task in this Test Calendar both in iphone and mac, just to test it, Worked fine.
Then i selected all the other calendars (Home - Work - etc) and i turned on the outlook sync
Then i synced the iPhone and Voilà everything is working again.
Now i can create task in outlook calendar and when y sync the iphone it appears on it.
I don't know what the problem is... but this looks like the solution
HOpe it works for you!

ICal on my iPhone does not sync with my Mac or iPad. I am using the cloud.

My iCal calendar on my iPhone does not sync with my Mac or iPad. I am on the cloud and every
thing else is syncing. I've looked at preferences and everything looks right...

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

Ical on iphone does not sync with ical on mac, but the mac does it!

My ical on my iphone does not sync with ical on mac using MobileMe, but reverse it works very well.
so typing an new event in ical on my phone will NOT appear in ical at my computer. Typing a new event on my mac, than within 10 seconds it appears on my phone.
anybody know how to resolve this? never had the problem before
problem 2: ical on my iphone seems to duplicate a lot of events. Non of them are duplicated on my computer.
related problem?
thank
Hein

I have solved my problem - don't know if yours is the same. I noticed on iPhone, when I listed the calendars there are two sections: the top line showed "All Calendars ->"; when I click on that I get duplicate entries for everything.
Below that is:
"From My Mac.
"All from My Mac ->", followed by a list of individual calendars. When I clicked on that I got single entries.
This led me to realize that in my Settings ->Accounts I had the old "...mac.com" a/c and new "..me.com" a/c. I had thought it didn't matter.
Once I eliminated the "mac.com" A/c, I had only one set of calendars.
Hope this helps you.

Fix in 6 steps: iPhone does not sync to iCal

like a ton of folks, the iCal app on my Macbook stopped syncing w/ my iPhone. i found a solution through Gmail. (if you don't have Gmail, sign up and enable Google sync with your iPhone. you may be able to do this through your iPhone settings; if not, you can get the app: http://www.google.com/mobile/sync/).
1) Sync your Gmail / Google calendar with your iPhone
2) Log in to Gmail on your computer, click on the "calendar" link up above the Gmail logo in the upper left. You should see all your events in there.
3) In the left margin, under "My calendars", click the "settings" link
4) About half way down the Settings page, click the "export calendars" link (it's to the R of the "create new calendars" button). Your calendar should download in a zip file to your laptop "[email protected]".
5) Unzip the file
6) Open iCal on your computer, go to "File" menu > "Import..." > "iCal file", and import the Google calendar file
That did it for me. Hope it works for you!!

I spoke with technical support at Apple last night and they walked me through a solution to my iphone to ical sync issue -- the only problem is that I had to enter all the events I wanted to keep since my last successful sync (which was before I updated to ios 4) into ical manually. If you are ready to do this then the steps below may work for you:
1. You are going to be pushing your calendar from ical onto your iphone so you will lose any events that are currently on your iphone but not on ical -- you will need to update ical manually to ensure you don't lose anything important.
2. Scroll down in the info tab in itunes to the Advanced options at the bottom -- where it says replace the information on my iphone and select calendar.
3. Sync, check that your iphone calendar matches your ical calendar
4. Add a new test event to the iphone (the selection you made in advanced should have automatically deselected after you sync'd but check just to make sure)
5. Sync again -- check if your test event was transferred -- i hope you have success!

IPhone will not sync with iCal

I'm having problems whereby events created on my iPhone is not syncing with my iCal. (Entry does not show up on iCal after sync)

archonium,
did you check the sync iCal option in the iTunes (iPhone) sync tab?
If you did and that doesn't work. Try this....
1) Open Disk Utilities on your mac and run 'Repair Disk Permissions' on your hard drive
2) Restart your mac.
3) try again. If it still doesn't work, try resettin the iPhone. Try again.
4) If the above doesn't work. Try RESTORING your iPhone via iTunes. That may work.
hope one of these work
good luck!

IPhone does not sync to iCal

I am running version 4.0. Since the upgrade my iPhone does not sync events back to iCal on my Macbook Pro. It does sync the other way--iCal to iPhone, but I need it to do both. I have looked in all the easy places for an answer. I must be missing something. What can I do.

IPhone does not sync calendar and contact information

iPhone has not synced calendar or contact info entered on the phone with iCal or Address Book. Has shown NO updating in either app since mid-February. Since that time, have updated to iTunes 7.6 and, IIRC, OS X 10.5.2. This is a problem!!
<Edited by Moderator>
Thanks!

Do all Lessons as described by you - dont sync.
Have tested it with several different contact groups or single new contacts. Did it several times (resetting sync history and editing new groups contacts).
Also checked those boxes to overwrite iPhone Entries by the Computer.
Nothing appears on the iPhone.....

Iphone does not sync with Yahoo Address Book

Hi My iPhone does not sync with Yahoo Address book. iTunes comes back with an error
"iTunes could not sync with Yahoo Address Book.Because an Internet connection not available"
This make no sense as I am conected to the internet. iTunes can acess the iTunes Store without a problem. I can also access the Web.
Any ideas?

I ran into this problem just within the past couple of weeks. I found someting on another discussion group on the net about someone with the same problem. They said that it was because one of their notes was too long.
I looked at my notes and wouldn't you know it, I created a couple of extra long notes a couple of weeks ago! I deleted them and I am able to sync without errors again. I didn't know there was a size limit for a note on the iphone.
PS. I have an iPhone 3GS, iOS 5.1.1, iTunes 10.6.3.25
