IPhone 4 cancels sync of contacts

Since updating to iOS 7.0.2, which initially failed to update; I restored my phone.  My contacts are now gone.  Everything is still in iCloud, but when I try to sync to the phone; the sync fails with the message that the phone cancelled the sync.  I've tried every trick I've found on line to no avail. 

Without any sort of backup or iCloud, there is not a whole lot you can do. You will have to manually rebuild them.
Sorry,

  • 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?

  • IPhone 6, manual sync of contacts and calendar with Google?

    I usually prefer a manual sync of things like contacts and calendar with Google, rather than an automatic periodic sync. I don't change my calendar or contact list very often, so manual sync works best for me. I could do this with Android, but with iOS if I sync contacts and calendar with Google, and then turn off that syncing, iOS wants to remove my Google contacts and Google calendar events from my phone. So I seem to have no choice, either auto-sync, or no Google contacts and calendar events at all.
    Does anyone out there know of a way to manually sync my Google contacts and calendar events when I want to?
    How often does the Google calendar and contacts sync get done? Maybe it isn't an issue, if it only does a sync when I change my Google contact list or Google calendar?
    Anyways, I really don't like automatic, periodic syncing to a web site happening on my phone if I don't need them to happen.
    Thanks.

    I can help you with your calendar problem.
    You'll need to export your calendar from google into iCal, and then start making all your changes to your iCal calendar.
    I wrote up the procedure with some screenshots here!

    I hope it helps.
    About your contacts, I'm not sure I'd be able to give you good instructions since I haven't done the whole procedure myself. I did however, have my Address Books contacts synced with Google.
    This post might help you. It talks about moving Google Contacts to your Address Book.
    http://take-a-tech-tip.blogspot.com/2011/09/iphone-google-contacts-sync-and.html
    That should get your contacts from Google to your address book. Then, you can set up iCloud to have your contacts synced, and that should put them to iCloud. You can check by going to icloud.com and seeing if it worked. Then, I imagine you would have to disable the Google syncing with your Address Book (if I remember correctly, your computer will tell you it has to do this once you enable iCloud syncing for contacts).

  • Why iPhone only allows sync ALL contacts, not selected groups?

    THE OBJECTIVE: To back up the names and phone numbers I've manually input into my iPhone.
    THE MONKEY WRENCH: When I plug my iPhone 3g into my Powerbook, under the Info tab is a Contacts section. The Sync Address Book contacts box is checked, and below that box are two choices: All contacts or Selected groups. Computer will not allow me to choose Selected groups, nor can I check off "Put new contacts created on this iPhone into this group", which sounds like, if working properly, would all me to back up my iPhones names and numbers. Please help!
    If you're feeling motivated, you can check out my still unsolved post about trouble I've been having with synching TV shows and let me know if there's one solution to address both issues. Thanks a gazillion.

    Step 1: Configure your iPhone for iCloud, go to Settings > iCloud and toggle the Contacts to Off. It will ask if you want to Keep your contacts that are present in your iPhone or Delete them. Delete only if you have a backup in your Mac or PC. We will be syncing your contacts again from your Mac or PC and upload it to iCloud.
    Step 2: Now, sync contacts with iPhone using your Mac or PC.
    Step 3: Next, go to Settings > iCloud and toggle the Contacts to On. This will Turn on the contacts again. You will get the following screen once you turn on the contacts under iCloud.
    Step 4: You can click on Merge. This will upload your contacts to your iCloud account in a while.
    Step 5: Go to the contacts app to verify if you have only all the contacts synced to your iCloud account.

  • IPhone and Outlook sync, lost contacts.

    Hi, i recently did a clean sync of my iphone contacts with outlook since then i added 15 contacts or so. Today i synced my iphone again and my contacts have disappeared from both outlook and my iphone apart from the 15 or so i added since my first sync. I have tried to restore my iphone from a back up but it did not solve the problem. Was wondering if someone could help me get my contacts back.
    Thanks in advance, Sami.

  • IPhone can't sync Outlook contacts in Windows 7

    I'm using iTunes 11.2.2.3 Windows 7 Enterprise.
    When syncing my iPhone 4s, syncing goes on for hours without completing.
    Nothing new except iTunes 11.2.2.3 and maybe a couple of contacts.

    You can't.
    It doesn't work in this context because that is how most or many employers want it - just like many employers don't allow their employees to access a company Exchange account with an email client on a personal computer at home.
    You might be able to extract the contacts from your iPhone's backup for import into the Windows Contacts app. Here is one 3Rd party utility that provides for extracting select data from your iPhone's backup on your computer's hard drive.

  • Iphone does not sync OUTLOOK CONTACT NOR CALENDAR EVENTS (XP)

    I was able to sync photos- music but no contacts-Calendar events from OUTLOOK 2003. The fact that my outlook PST file is not located in the default Outlook directory could be the problem but I am not sure. Anyone out there having the same issue??? Please let me know. thank you. Phil

    Have no problems here with Vista and Outlook 2003. PST is not saved in default location, syncs without a hitch.
    Seems problems are hit or miss. I have had a flawless experience while my brother who bought one at the same time is having a nightmare of a time with his install. From iTunes 7.3 crashing to activation nightmares.

  • My iPhone and iPad syncs calendar, contacts, mail. But these are not synced with my MacBook pro. I'm using latest leopard.  Why?

  • My iPhone 4s is not syncing the contacts and calendar to iCloud.

    My iPhone is not syncing its contacts and calander to iCloud once its entered on the iPhone itself.  It has no problem syncing information entered through iCloud though.  Am I doing something wrong?

    On the iPhone tap Settings > iCloud
    Switch off both Contacts and Calendars then switch back on then reset the device.
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • 2 iPhones want to sync seperately

    2 iPhones want to sync seperately. I own a 2G and 3G iphones. 2G given to daughter 3G mine. When I sync, I want them to have their own info, not the same on both. How do I give them their own info?

    davidlw,
    Two options.
    Create her own user on the computer, and have her sync with that. In this case all of her data, including iTunes Library will be seperate.
    Second option set up playlists that are hers, groups of contacts for her, and calendars that are hers.
    Then the sync options are specific to the device, you sync your playlists to your iPhone, she syncs hers to her iPhone.
    She syncs her contact groups to her iPhone, and you sync your groups to your iPhone.
    Likewise for calendars.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.

  • New/Updated contacts on iPhone 4 not syncing to iMac Address Book

    Greetings,
    My problem:
    When syncing my iPhone 4 with iTunes 10, iTunes will sync contacts FROM my iMac to the iPhone. It will not sync new or changed contacts from the iPhone TO my iMac (no two-way syncing).
    Further background:
    I recently had Apple replace my hard drive and restored from a Time Machine backup. Everything is working properly except this.
    What I'm using:
    * iPhone 4 w/ iOS 4.1 (latest)
    * iMac 2.4 GHz Intel running OS X 10.5.8
    * iTunes 10.1 (54)
    Example:
    If I create a new contact on my iMac, it syncs with the iPhone as expected.
    On the iPhone, If I edit the contact originally created on the iMac and re-sync, the changes do NOT sync back to my iMac.
    If I create a new contact on my iPhone, it does not sync with Address Book.
    What I've tried so far that has not worked:
    1.) Unchecked and re-checked "Sync Address Book Contacts" in iTunes (one-way syncing works fine)
    2.) Used the "Replace information on this iPhone" for Contacts within iTunes (contacts from iMac overwrite iPhone as expected)
    3.) I had a trial MobileMe subscription that I cancelled months ago.
    Went into the iPhone > Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > deleted the MobileMe account, keeping existing data on my iPhone.
    4.) Unchecked "Sync Address Book Contacts"
    * Went to /users/[username]/Library/Application Support/AddressBook, deleted AddressBook-v22.abcddb and /Images
    * Went to iSync app > Preferences > Reset Sync History
    * Verified new addressbook and /Images folder were created
    * Re-checked "Sync Address Book Contacts"
    * Performed another sync using iTunes
    (One-way sync works fine)
    5.) Deleted all Address Book entries
    * Unchecked "Sync Address Book Contacts"
    * Went to /users/[username]/Library/Application Support/AddressBook, deleted AddressBook-v22.abcddb and /Images
    * Went to iSync app > Preferences > Reset Sync History
    * Verified new addressbook and /Images folder were created
    * Re-checked "Sync Address Book Contacts"
    * Performed another sync using iTunes
    Can anyone offer some suggestions? I have my address book backed up, but I'd really like to be able to perform a two-way sync from my iPhone to my iMac's Address Book.
    Thanks,
    Rob

    No need for apologies!  Yes, it was checked.  Looks like I have solved the problem now and it was something very basic - in the preferences of Contacts on the iMac.  Looks like it's all synced now.  Thanks for replying!

    Hello there, Savagejacob.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for unexpected disconnects of your iOS device when syncing:
    iOS: Troubleshooting USB-related alerts when syncing
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5254
    Check connections
    Try the following steps to check the connection between your device or computer. You might need to do only one of these steps to resolve the issue, so test your connection after each step.
    See if the cable connection at the device or computer has come loose or unplugged.
    Unplug the cable you're using to connect your iOS device from the USB port on your computer, and then reconnect it. Then unplug it from your iOS device, and reconnect it.
    Remove any third-party battery packs or cases from the device and ensure that the USB cable is connected directly to the port on the device.
    If your Lightning or 30-pin cable is connected to a keyboard, display or USB hub, try plugging it directly into a USB port on the computer instead.
    Close any virtualization apps (such as Parallels or VMWare).
    These apps may interfere with your computer's ability to communicate over USB if they aren't properly configured, or up to date. If this resolves the issue, contact the developer of the app to see if an update is available.
    Restart your computer.
    Restart your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch.
    If you're using an accessory or third-party cable to connect your device, try using an Apple cable with the device instead.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes if you have not already.
    Disconnect other USB devices from your computer, except for your keyboard and mouse. Then, reconnect your iOS device. If the issue is resolved, reconnect the other USB devices one at a time. Make sure your iOS device is still recognized by the computer after adding back each device.
    If one of these steps resolves the issue, but it comes back later, make sure you haven't changed how the device is connected. For example, check to see if you plugged the device into a specific accessory, or used a specific cable that reintroduced the issue.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.
