IPhone cannot sync contacts

Does anyone know how to resolve this error? I keep getting an error message stating that iTunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone because an error occurred while pushing data from the phone.

I have Windows XP and have been having this same problem. To reset the sync history with Window just open i-Tunes; then select "edit" - "preferences." In this window select the "syncing" tab and there you can reset the sync history.
I did this and was able to sync my contacts and calender with Outlook 2003 without any problem.
Hope this helps.

    I cannot sync contacts between my iPhone 4s and MacBook Pro after I upgraded the Mac with the latest operating system software upgrade. Even the Mac Store couldn't help...

    That is because that sync ability (for contacts and calendars) has been removed. Use iCloud instead.

  • After hard drive crash I needed to authorise my pc again. itunes tells me iphone cannot sync as pc not authorised. when I try to authorise the pc, itunes tells me pc is already authorised... what can i do?

    After a recent hard drive crash I needed to authorise my pc again. I first de-authorised all previous computers (there was no other option)
    Then I authorised the pc with the new hard drive.
    then I tried to sync
    Then itunes tells me iphone cannot sync as pc not authorised.
    when I try to authorise the pc, itunes tells me pc is already authorised...
    I have been playing this game 10 times now ... "cannot sync because pc not authorised" and then "cannot authorise as already authorised"
    what can i do?
    thanks

    yes, a few times. the number of authorised computers decreases and increases from zero to one and vice versa accordingly. yet I am still being told that it cannot sync.

  • My iPhone cannot sync wif computer... But can charge wif 3pin plug charger..

    My iPhone cannot sync wif computer... But can charge wif 3pin plug charger..

    When you plug your iPhone into your PC and hear the sound does your iTunes show up on your computer? I would suggest a couple of things...........first, re-download iTunes...then try connecting your iPhone  USB connector to your PC. If iTunes opens but it does lot list your phone As being connected.....................un-plug your iPhone  ....and then re-plug it in (I have to do that often). If none of that works, try a hard reset of your iPhone (by holding the "sleep" and "Home" buttons until you see the white Apple logo) and then try connecting again. Let me know if this helps.

  • I cannot sync contacts from Iphone to Imac

    I am syncing my Iphone 4s to my new Imac and my contacts arent showing up anywhere? What am I doing wrong?

    Have you chosen to sync Contacts in iTunes?  If your contacts are not showing up in the Address Book on whatever Mac you're using, the obvious thing to check is the sync in iTunes.  Be careful to make sure that you sync from the phone to the computer and not vice versa.
    Just to be safe you might backup the phone to iCloud first so that your contacts will be in the iCloud.  Use this for instructions:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859

  • IPhone 3G cannot sync contacts/calendar with iTunes 7.7 in Vista

    My environment:
    Computer - PC
    OS - Windows XP Pro SP2
    Apple Products - iPhone 3G with Itunes 7.7
    Software - Miscrosoft Office with Outlook 2003
    Laptop Vaio FZ21M
    OS - Windows Vista SP1
    Apple Products - iPhone 3G with Itunes 7.7
    Software - Miscrosoft Office with Outlook 2007
    When I connect my iPhone 3G to the laptop, iTunes launch, but in Info tab I don't get the option to sync Contacts or Calendar. The only message that appears is "Your contacts are being pushed to your iPhone over the air from Microsoft Exchange"
    On the other hand when I connect iPhone 3G to desktop with Windows XP SP2, I get the option to sync contacts with Outlook/Gmail Address Book/Yahoo Address Book, etc. Today I performed an update to iTunes, installing version 7.7.046 ,but the problem persists.
    A collegue of mine has excactly the same problem, he is also using a laptop running Windows Vista SP1 , iTunes 7.7 but Outlook 2003 instead. When he connects iPhone 3G, he doesn't get the option to sync Contacts or Calendar. Email sync option is available.
    Is there anything we can do?

    I had the same problem with my 3G phone.  I solved it as follows
    1) Go to preferences in your address book and delete the iCloud.  This will revert your address book to 'On My Mac'.
    2) Turn off your iCloud account in system preferences.
    3) Run iTunes, enable sync contacts and under advanced, replace information on this phone, enable contacts.
    4) Press apply button and sync should begin. Itunes will now load your contact file into the phone.
    5) Re-enable your iCloud account.

  • IPhone not syncing Contacts to Address Book

    I noticed that my iPhone (both original iPhone and iPhone 3G) was not syncing contacts with Address Book. I tried to Reset Sync History in iSync, and when I have tried to replace the contacts on iPhone under the Advanced options, I lose all my contacts on the iPhone!
    The only way to get some contacts back is restoring from backup, but unfortunately as iTunes performs a backup of the iPhone on sync, these backups also have no contacts! I have an old backup that fortunately has not been overwritten but the contact list is a bit out of date.
    Address Book on the Mac seems to be fine and this is backed up.
    It would appear that iTunes has somehow lost its "connection" to Address Book, which is why when I chose to replace the Contacts on the iPhone with the information on the computer I lost them all!
    iCal still seems to sync fine with Calendar.
    Can I re-link Address Book with iTunes?

    Hey lim_my,
    Are contacts syncing with MobileMe or any other applications?
    I don't have MobileMe.
    Now you mention it, Address Book did not appear to even update if I updated a contact in Mail.
    Can you sync contacts in another User account? to create another user account goto System Preferences> Accounts> click the lock to make changes> click the + button to add another user account.
    Yes I can! I only tried to sync Contacts, leaving all other options i.e Calendars Bookmarks Ringtones Music Videos Applications untouched, and now I have some test Contacts on the iPhone.
    You can try Resetting the SyncServices folder, Just follow the steps in this article to stop the service and then delete the SyncServices folder in your user library.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
    I had tried this before, within iSync, which did not work. I then tried the command in Terminal as per the above link, then went and deleted the /user/Library/ Sync Services folder. Still no joy.
    So it looks as though I have a broken Address Book rather than iTunes. Should I post this in the OS X Leopard section of Discussions?

  • IPhone cannot sync address book, "too many flushes" in console

    Hello, ran into this recently and its driving me nuts. I've restored the phone twice, without restoring a backup, setting it up as a new phone each time.
    It'll sync everything else fine but not this. I have reset the sync history in isync, deleted my address book completely (I have a backup of it) yet iTunes still shows the old groups under the info tab. I've double checked that I am the owner on the permissions page of the mail/ical/itunes/etc.... folders in %users/Library. Repaired permissions. I'm running out of things to check.
    Whenever I try to sync this is the information that can be found in the Console. I've deleted preferences, i'm almost ready to completely blow itunes away and re-import/re-rate my itunes library from scratch!

    I also cannot sync anything from the Info tab, contacts, calendars, can't replace the data either. If I enable iCal syncing it just hangs on the sync and doesn't error out. it'll stay syncing contacts for over 12 hours so far with no change.

    Now isn't this interesting. I decided on a whim to have console open when I reset the sync preferences. And this is what it reported. Definitely some permissions errors. I've already run

    After running sudo chown -R rr152510 SyncServices/ from terminal I received the same errors. So either its not following through the sub-directories and changing the owner, or its something else. Gonna try it from the root user, though sudo should have given me permissions to do anything I wanted.
