IPhone Cross-platform Sync Issue

I sync as follows:
MS Exchange/Outlook 2007/Windows XP SP2 <--> Plaxo <--> iCal/Leopard <--> iPhone/1.1.3
All works well, except:
Calendar entries: Multi-day, all-day, non-recurring entries created in Outlook sync properly to Plaxo and iCal, but show up on the iPhone extended by one-day; e.g., an event spanning Jan 11-13 shows properly in Exchange, Plaxo and iCal, but shows up in the iPhone as Jan 11-14. When synced back to iCal, these events are NOT extended by one day. Events created in the iPhone and then synced back to iCal, Plaxo and Outlook do not exhibit this behavior. I've upgraded to the latest build of Plaxo, deleted the sync points and iCal calendars and started over, but it still does this. Is there some inconsistency in the Outlook data format that might be causing this? Everything is on Eastern Standard Time.
Thanks,

Fixed. Plaxo for Outlook update 3.8.0.64 fixed this so that all-day events sync properly. Thanks to Drew at Plaxo support forums for the info.

Old Macromedia - Adobe cross platform font issues

This message is more directed to Adobe.
I am aware that currently OpenType fonts are cross platform compatible but only with Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign.
However, my primary workspace is Fireworks-Flash. There are serious cross platform issues with fonts - I have looked at truetype, postscript and opentype and they all have issues translating onto PC - many of the styles are not available.
In our studio I design on Mac but our Flash developers are on PC - our final renders and review renders always need to happen on Mac as a result of this cross platform issue. This is a little inefficient.
When is Adobe planning on resolving this issue?

"I am aware that currently OpenType fonts are cross platform
compatible but only with Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign."
No, they are fully cross-platform compatible. The Adobe products you
mention, along with a very few others, are the only applications
capable of taking full advantage of the advanced features available in
some opentype fonts. And even the three products you mention don't all
necessarily support open-type in the same way.
"However, my primary workspace is Fireworks-Flash. There are serious
cross platform issues with fonts - I have looked at truetype,
postscript and opentype and they all have issues translating onto PC -
many of the styles are not available."
If you are using the same application version on both platforms, you
should have identical functionality. If you're using an older version
of Fireworks.
The only cross-platform style issue with TT or T1 fonts is that
Windows doesn't recognize any styles other than Regular, Bold, Italic,
and Bold Italic. Also, there's a font menu difference between MacOS
and Windows. Mac display all available styles, whereas Windows only
displays the family name, and you have to select the variants from
somewhere else (typically "B" "I" "U" buttons). SOME font families
from some vendors use the style function to define such variants as
Small Caps, Light, etc. MS products get ... confused.
"In our studio I design on Mac but our Flash developers are on PC -
our final renders and review renders always need to happen on Mac as a
result of this cross platform issue. This is a little inefficient."
If you're using different applications for design and rendering, and
their functionality is different, then you have a cross-application
compatibility issue. You didn't mention what applications or versions
are involved.
"When is Adobe planning on resolving this issue?"
It may be more a Microsoft issue than an Adobe issue. In addition to
the style limitations, There are no MS products that yet support
open-type features.
Although Adobe personnel do sometimes visit here, this is not a
"talk-to-Adobe' forum. Since your problem is application related, I'd
suggest taking it to the appropriate application forumsFireworks
General Discussion looks right.
And, as Bob said, you might also contact Adobe support directly with
your concerns.

IPhone 5S Music syncing issues after 8.0.2

Hello,
I have been having irritating issues getting my iPhone 5S to sync my music library over after updating to 8.0.2.
I did a backup onto my laptop prior to updating, and went ahead with the new update. The first thing I noticed was after updating to 8.0.2 in order to sync again, iTunes prompted me that I was lacking 6GB of data on my phone to sync my library. I did not use my phone at all during the updating process so there's no way 6GB of data was magically written on it's storage drive. I could not figure out why in the world iTunes would tell me I needed to free up 6GB to sync the exact same music that was already there prior to. I went ahead and completely deleted my entire Music library from the phone, and tried to resync fresh. I still got the same message from iTunes. Believing in the program and going ahead and doing some spring cleaning, I ended up freeing a good amount of things off of my phone, applications, photos, messages, etc. to drop 6GB from the storage. I went ahead and synchronized my iPhone 5S with iTunes so I could get my music on my phone. It proceeded to go ahead and sync my roughly 1400 songs onto the iPhone. After it was complete, it showed I had an astounding 12GB of free space on my phone... I said to **** with it and just wanted to play my music. The phone seems to have all of my library that I chose to sync on my Music app. The problem is, when I go to play songs the music app will Skip over certain songs. I have not found any commonality between which songs it chooses to skip. It skips newly added songs, it skips old songs, it skips purchased songs, it skips songs downloaded from other sites. There seems to be no structure to which songs it's skipping. Another thing to note, whenever I connect my iPhone 5S to my iTunes and sync, I am Always able to sync something new onto the phone (around step 5 or 6 when it is completing the sync, it will mysteriously add some songs to the phone). Those songs are playable. Then I shuffle through my playlist, and Still the same problem remains, it has removed some songs and skips over them. It seems to Sync songs, and Delete songs... completely at random. This is bothering me and I'm not sure what to do, and am Very unsatisfied with the amount of bugs still left in the software. I wonder if others are having similar issues and maybe we can bring some light to this.
Thank You,
Andrew

Similar issue Andrew. After installing 8.0, the IOS deleted 225 songs from one of my playlists, and I'm still "recalling" songs that are no longer in my Music Library. Fortunately, although the playlist of 235 had only 6 songs left on it ( on my Mac), the Playlist was not erased from my I -Phone. I was able to recreate the Playlist on my Mac, using the intact playlist on my phone. When I synched however, I was back to square one. I went to the Apple store, and I had to reset the phone . We also downloaded IOS 8.02. They saved my playlist in the Cloud, deleted it from my Mac, then synched it. Lo and behold, the playlist I recreated on my Mac, synched to my I Phone. After the reset, I had like 11GB of free space. (Its been 5 days since the "reset" and the number of GBs fluctuates from day to day !!)
When I got home from the Apple store I spent after hours reinstalling all the apps, synchng the phone to the Bluetooth in my car ( you know the rest of the saga) , I purchased a song from I Tunes. I "drag and dropped" it into a Playlist, and synched. Didn't work. Song shows in "Recently Added", but the drag and drop feature doesn't work. Bottom line, I'm not willing to "reset" my phone every time I add a song ! I've tried any number of fixes posted to this support community, but none have worked for me.
Furthermore, it took me 3 hours to get the phone re-synched to the Bluetooth system in my car. However every time I connect to "Bluetooth Audio", the system needs to "find" and "reconnect to" my phone. If you ( or anyone else ) finds something that might work for both the music synch and /or the Bluetooth, I'd appreciate your input.
Thanks, Lorenzo

Help! Cross Platform Projector issue

Hi all,
I am sure this has been a hot topic for years and I did do
various searches and was surprised not to find anything on it
quickly. Sorry if this has been discussed a lot, as I imagine it
has. We are able to make our functioning mac and win projector with
our win version of flash 8, but everytime I burn the cd on win, the
projector file does not know what to do with itself when trying to
launch back on mac.
Questions:
1. Does cross platform burning have to be performed on a Mac?
2. If so, does one need toast to do the cross platform
burning to make the mac and win projectors groovy on their
respective platforms? We have a brand new MacBook Pro - it seems
like it should have these capabilities built in at this point, but
not sure.
Any pointers here or to a technote would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

IPhone "cannot be synced;" issues with photos!

I tried to delete some of my photos from my 8G iPhone since they were taking up a lot of room, but when I tried to sync my iPhone with only some picture folders selected instead of all of My Pictures, iTunes refused to delete the old pictures and left white squares with strange formatting and the same labels, taking up the same amount of memory, in their place. An error message popped up which says: The iPhone "iPhone" cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-39.)" Help! I've restarted my computer and turned my phone on and off again but nothing has helped and the same error shows up each time. I couldn't even get the old pictures back onto the phone...

One thing that you can try.
Before going through a full restore, try syncing to a blank folder first.
Create a folder on your desk top or where it is convenient.
Call it Blank.
Now open itunes and connect the iphone.
Set itunes to sync pictures only to that blank folder and click apply.
This clear out any pictures you have synced to the iphone.
Now try syncing to a folder with just a few pictures.
If this does not work, then you might want to do the restore as suggested by Allan.
Here is an article from the apple support website that explains more about the restore process.

IPhone charge and Sync issues

Hi there I have a problem with my 3G and I sincerely hope I can et some help here. I have had my iPhone for about 18 months give or take and have had no problems with it until recently. I had a minor issue about three months into my ownership, in that I broke part of the circuit board that connects to the charger and sync cable. If you were to look at the bottom of the phone, with the screen up, the missing piece would be at the far right. At first I was freaking out of course, but everything worked. I have successfully updated it twice and never had an issue with charging. I was shocked but very happy about this as you can well imagine. Very suddenly two weeks ago the iPhone would suddenly not kick into the charging mode, though it would trickle charge if left connected. It also is not recognised at all by my computer, or by iTunes. I have tried several computers and several sync cables now and can confirm that the problem is with the iPhone itself. I find it difficult to swallow that this problem is related to the earlier breakage, but I suppose it's possible. One interesting bit here is that if I connect the iPhone to the wall charger with the iPhone turned off, It still doesn't go into the charging mode, but the Apple logo appears, I believe this tells me that the issue isn't hardware related, but I'm not positive.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply, but honestly I find it difficult to believe that the iPhone would work perfectly for approximately 15 months after being damaged. I'm not discounting the possibility, completely, but it is a bit hard to believe.

Help. iPhone 5, calendar sync issues using Outlook. Doesn't work. Does any kind soul have a solution

At my wits end. iPhone 5, OS 7.1.1, using Outlook as mail, contacts and calendar but unable to find a solution to sync everything. I have my own domain and use a small ISP. It's not an Exchange server account. I've trawled countless forums but to no avail. Can anyone help? Steve.

Mavericks doesn't sync contacts or calendar via iTunes anymore. Apple removed 'sync services' so Outlook doesn't have the sync engine to move data between iOS & the Mac. It will still work on iTunes 11 on earlier OS X's.
On 10.9 you can either use iCloud, setup your own contacts & calendar server (OS X server, Biakal, Owncloud & many others) or you can find another online service to use to sync data, like Google apps.
There is a 200 page thread on the issue…
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5460803?start=0&tstart=0
There is also a user tip on how to setup Baikal…
Hosting your own CalDAV and CardDAV server using Baïkal Server
You should also look for apps that may help like SyncMate http://www.eltima.com or maybe missing sync? http://www.markspace.com/

HT4623 Iphone and ipad syncing issues

I fugured out that deleting from iPad does not delete from iPhone and whatever data is there is cloud will be retained for iPhone.

IPhone 4 iPhoto sync issue

Last week my camera roll synced with my iPhoto just fine. Had the iPhone 4 for only 1 and a half weeks. 1st iPhone ever but still have a second gen iPod Touch. This week none of my pictures taken from this weekend are syncing with iPhoto. Changes since last week, I took a few pictures with photo swap but I uninstalled that. I've also taken 1 screenshot but this issue started before that screenshot. I also have synced my iPod touch once or twice with the same iMac.
Everything in the camera roll but that screenshot was taken with the built in camera. I have a couple of videos in there. I've reset the phone a couple of times. I reset iSync. The other weird thing is that every time I open iPhoto it says my iPhone is connected and I can unmount it even when the iPhone is not connected. If I close iPhoto after unmounting the non-existent iPhone it is mounted again when I reopen iPhoto all without actually having my iPhone connected at any point.
Any suggestions? It's pretty unacceptable when I thought I could rely on my iPhone as a decent digital camera.

Try this: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Iphone and Camera Syncing Issues

When I plug in my Iphone to my MacBook I get an error message that reads "Syncing has been disabled on this Machine". Then when I click "Override" It states that it cannot be done. Then the iphone will start sycing. When I plug in either of my two cameras the computer does not recognize them at all, not allowing me to upload any photos. Almost as if nothing has been plugged into the USB Port. This also happens with Printers. It does not recognize that a printer is plugged into the USB port, therefore does not allow me to print anything.
What should I do?

There's a whole "encyclopedia" in these forums about this problem. Suggest you search here for something like "iCal event duplication" and you should find a good bit of helpful information.
That said, I had similar problems with my iPhone 3G and then my iPhone 4, and it basically came down to MobileMe issues. My best advice would be to look first to see whether or not the calendar on your MBP agrees with the one on MobileMe - I'm betting you'll find issues there for which the phone is just a display medium. It will probably be necessary for you to reset your sync data and clean out either the iCal data or the data in MM Calendar.

Iphone and ical syncing issues

My iphone 3GS seems to be creating double all of the ical entries? I have recently updated to the new mobileme calendar but this was happening just before also.
I enter ical events on both my mac book pro and my iphone. Ical does not double the events but the iphone does.
Anyone else had this issue or know what could be causing it??
Cheers.

IPhone 4S Pandora Sync Issue - Kenwood DNX9980 HD

Is anyone else having an issue syncing their iPhone 4S to the Kenwood DNX9980 HD when streaming Pandora? I'm getting a "USB Error" message. The iPhone 4 model If so, any news on a patch coming soon?
Thanks,
JT

Although the screen resolution isn't up to 1080p, the iPhone (3GS, 4, 4S), iPod touch (> 2nd Gen) and iPad are all capable of decoding 1080p content (as long as the profile isn't too high). I know this because whenever I use Handbrake to rip a bluray at 1080p, it works fine on all of my devices. iTunes will even stream them over home sharing.
However, all of this falls down if you flag a video file as HD 1080p. I found that when I was opening my rips with Subler (to add artwork and metadata), they would no longer be visible in my shared library via my iDevices, only AppleTV 3. This was happening because Subler was setting the HD flag to 1080p. I found that changing this in Subler to 720p or None, resulted in the rips re-appearing in the library.
So, this is not a device limitation, it is iTunes being restrictive. iTunes shouldn't restrict based on video resolution, it should restrict on the encoding profile.
I've never tried opening a purchased movie with Subler but, if you can, try re-flagging your content as 720p and see if you can now sync your 1080p content. Don't worry, it's only a metadata flag that you're changing, it won't change the resolution of the movie.

IPad (IOS 8) and iPhone (IOS 8) sync issues

Hello,
I have an iPhone 5 as well as a 4th gen iPad. Ever since I factory reset my iPhone, the two will not properly sync. For example, my iPad will pick up an iMessage and it will never show up on my iPhone (even when I already have a conversation on the phone started).
Also, my camera roll will not completely sync. There are about 10 random pics that will just not sync.
Steps I've taken:
-iMessage activated on both devices
-Camera roll sync activated
The only thing I can think of is that my iPhone has been acting a bit weird (which led to the factory reset).

Hi iAndrew95,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature and scope of the issues you are describing. If you are talking about issues with Continuity and iCloud Photo Library in iOS 8 on these devices, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

Iphone 5s music sync issues

Guys and girls.
I have got my 5s and have manage to get round to adding my music from my old phone (android) into Itunes music all plays fine but will not sync to my phone.
I go about the sync the normal way, it does start to work but gets to the 'checking for downloads' bit in the blue bar at the top and the whole of Itunes stops responding at all. I use the latest update on itunes and the latest software update on my phone which is now updating to 7.1 as we speak. Still no joy with the music sync. I have tried a few things i have seen on other threds i.e. reset phone using hold lock and home button together, un syncing and re syncing, unticking and reticking boxes and i am slowly going mad!haha. Can anyone offer a solution???
Thanks in advance
Dan
