IPhone ignores sync settings

my iphone ignores the option I've set to ignore syncing events older than _ days old. I have chosen 1 day and older to be ignored, yet iPhone still syncs all events in the past, and they stay there even if they're deleted from iCal.
Any help would be appreciated!

As a first step, try resetting the sync history on your Mac which is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application located in your Applications folder.
After resetting the sync history on your Mac, restart your Mac and try syncing again.

You cannot.
By Design the iPhone can Only Sync to One iTunes Library at a time.

ITunes settings reset with every new version, and I get: "...the information on the iphone is synced with another user account"

Windows 7 64-bit with MS Outlook 2010. I've seen this now probably 10 times. When I first installed iTunes, I selected:
Preferences -> Devices -> "Prevent iPhonse, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically".
and on my iPhone, I selected:
Info -> Sync Contacts with: Outlook.
Info -> Sync Calendars with: Outlook
Info -> Other -> Sync notes with: Outlook
This works great, and the settings stick. As soon as apple releases any new version (even minor) of iTunes and I install, I immediately receive: "...the information on the iphone is synced with another user account", and have to merge my calendar and contacts, but then once I get into iTunes, I find that ALL of the above settings (prevent syncing, sync calendar, contacts, notes) get reset and are turned off! I am running as a user account with Admin privaleges, but I don't right-click -> "Run as administrator" when I perform the iTunes update.
To reiterate, once I change the settings back, things work normally until the next iTunes update at which it gives me that sync error, and resets my sync options.
Any idea? Thanks!

Is someone else using the PC and iTunes?
Create another user for the PC with your name, and try syncing that way.
This way it wont conflic with the other user.

How can I turn off over the air sync settings on my Mac iPhone

Hi,
For some reason I am attempting to sync my iPhone with my laptop as usual but now in the iTunes app when I attach my iPhone and go to Info, it reads: Your contacts are being synced with your iPhone over the air from MobileMe. Over the air sync settings can be changed on your iPhone. So here is the thing, I have looked online and have found nothing at all to show me how to do this on my iPhone. I want to be able to add info on my iPhone and then connect it with my laptop and sync it immediately with my laptop and also to add info on my laptop and immediately sync it with my iPhone. Please help. Thanks

On your iPhone go to Settings - Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Then select your MobileMe account. Turn off the items you don't want synced over the air.

I have signed to up to iCloud and am pretty sure that all of my settings are turned on appropriately. However I get syncing from iCloud to my Mac and to my iPhone, but I am unable to get my iPhone to sync with the iCloud and most obviously calendar events

I have signed to up to iCloud and am pretty sure that all of my settings are turned on appropriately. However I get syncing from iCloud to my iMac and to my iPhone, but I am unable to get my iPhone to sync with the iCloud and most obviously calendar events, so that if adding an event on my iPone it never appears on my other hardware? Can anyone help me sort this out?

Re: check that the appointments in my phone are going into iCloud calendars....exactly how do I do this? I fear this is a really stupid question!
My iCloud account is set up with my Apple ID as one email account (for example [email protected]) which is the email account I use to sign up for internet sites like Amazon, Apple,etc, so that I can differentiate vendors/mass emails. But my default calendar on my iPhone is in a different email name (ie [email protected]) which I use for most communications to friends, relatives, etc. and it is this account that holds most of my appointments. To further complicate things I have other email accounts that I use for business/professional and community work. If I want all my calendars to show on my iPhone AND sync to my iCloud, do I set this at the phone level or the iCloud level? or both?
Let me clarify....It looks like if I go into appointments that I previously set up through my personal account (ie above [email protected]) and edit the entry on my iPhone, selecting the iCloud "home" calendar within the entry, it will then sync to my iCloud account, no problem....do I have to do this to EVERY entry I have? or is there a way to name my personal account as one to sync to iCloud?

I get an error message saying itunes could not sync mail accounts. because the mail accounts are in use by the iPhone. It asks that i close the mail accounts settings on the iPhone and sync again. Is it requesting that i delete my email accounts?

Calendar schedule blank. All appts disappeared from 3g iphone calendar synced to yahoo. After Yahoo corrected error message on their website and I re-synced my iphone, calendar reappears but will not allow edit from iphone. I can't find settings to change

Calendar schedule blank. All appts disappeared from 3g iphone calendar synced to yahoo. After Yahoo corrected error message on their website and I re-synced my iphone, calendar reappears but will not allow edit from iphone. I can't find settings within Yahoo or within my iphone to alter editing options.
How can I get access to edit and delete the Yahoo calendar from my iphone? I never schedule anything from the Yahoo webpage. All my appointments and reminders are scheduled from the iphone.
iOS 4.2.1 (8C148a)

My Yahoo email account worked just fine on my iPhone 4S for the last 2 months. Then this morning I started receiving the apple.imap.mail,yahoo error. I tried all of the steps above in solving the yahoo email issue including numerous hard re-sets and deletions of my yahoo account settings without any success. So I gave up trying to use the default Yahoo setup option. I added my Yahoo account back as an "other" type email account and then had the option to choose to set it up as a "POP" account instead of an IMAP type. I then just used the server settings recommended from Yahoo Help for a Yahoo Plus Email POP (or just google yahoo plus email pop settings). This works and I am back in business.
I'm not sure if this will work for yahoo mail classic accounts.
Frustrating that this issue seems to have been going on for quite awhile and Apple still as not made any acknowledgement of this issue or proposed a fix for those of us that can not resolve the issue with a reset.

HT203097 Why do I receive a message that states I need to change to my media sync settings on iphone when my summary shows over 3GB of free space?

Why do I receive a message that states I need to change to my media sync settings on iphone when my summary shows over 3GB of free space? THe message states the amount of storage needed (610 MB), which is considerably less than my summary shows currently available.

# Yes, if you go to accounts.firefox.org, sign out, you will now be signed out.
# Sign back in, and you will be asked to save the password you entered.
# This will save the password and autocomplete if you have this option turned on.
I am not exactly sure why the menu did not detect the password change or if it was stored incorrectly after you changed it? But after storing the correct password you can manage any duplicate passwords in the password manager.[[Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox]]

IPhone not syncing all pictures

I've been having this problem for awhile now & thought it had something to do with the iPhone 4 because I didn't have this issue when I had the iPhone 3GS. When I try to sync all photos including videos into my iPhone - about 4,900, only about 4,200 would be transferred. Also, not all "Faces" appear on the iPhone. I've been waiting for a fix but it's been almost a year. Is anyone else experiencing this? If so, has anyone found a solution for it? I've done the following:
1. Restored my iPhone to default settings
2. Deleted & reinstalled iTunes app to latest version
3. Deleted & reinstalled iPhoto app to latest version
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

For the calendar issue: on your phone go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...scroll down to the Calendars section and tap Default calendar. What calendars are listed there and what have you selected as your default calendar?
For the photos issue: try going to Settings>iCloud>Photo Stream and turn photo stream to Off. Then reset your phone by holding the on/off and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release and wait for it to restart. (You won't lose any data by doing this.) When it has restarted go back and turn photo stream on again, take a new picture, close the camera app, make sure your phone and iPad are connected to wifi and wait 5 minutes or so to see if it syncs to your iPad this time.

Iphone doesnt sync with Itunes correctly

Need seriously help.
My new Iphone 5S does not sync with Itunes correctly. All movies i bought won´t get on the Iphone,altough i´ve acitvated all the sync options in itunes. Music Sync ist activated, Movie Sync and Pic Sync also is correctly activated. But always i enter the Button "Sync" it ignores the settings i have taken. There are no movies on my Iphone , there is no Musik i have selected transfered to my Iphone. Ive tried it now about 2 hours to find a solution. But no Succes so far. The Sync doesnt work. There is no message that the sync failed. It always jumps from "Preparing Sync" to "Complete Changes" (Its my translation from the German Itunes:> - i dont know how the steps are named in the englisch version)
I´m using A Iphone 5S with Ios 7.0.4 and a Macbook Pro 2012 with Itunes 11.1.3 (8). I´ve heard there are many other people, who have the same issues with syncing to their devices. With every try more i loose more Musik on my Phone. Because the music i havent bought on itunes also disappears from my phone. It all started with my movies. The movies disappeared from my phone and didnt work anymore. Every time i wanted to start the movie , Loading crashed an i was removed on the homescreen. The whole video app crashed. After this wanted to try it again, but the movie disappeared from my phone. And that happened to all movies i had on the Iphone. So i started the Phone again and all movies were back again. But the Crash happened again. My Explanation was a crashed file, so i wanted to sync it with itunes to repair it. But Itunes also didnt work anymore -
What do you think? Hardware issue or Software issue with the new Ios or Itunes ?

Try "resetting" ...
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.

IPad 2/iPhone 4s synced from iMac iCal with no alerts, creating alerts 15 hours before each event

My wife set up all her work meetings in iCal on her work calendar. Each event has no alert assigned. Right clicking on the work calendar and choosing Get Info, the drop down window shows an option to Ignore Alerts and it is checked. In iCal Preferences under the Alerts tab, all 3 alerts are set to none.
On the iPad 2 and the iPhone 4s, under Settings - Mail, Contacts, Calendars - Default Alert Times are set to None while New Invitation Alerts and Shared Calendar Alerts are turned off.
Choose Calendar on the home page to bring up the calendar. then click any of the work events and it shows an alert for 15 hours before the event, and they do go off 15 hours before the events and quite annoying they are. The only way to get rid of the alert, is to go to each individual event, select Edit, select Alert, select None then Done, then Done again and then Save For Future Events since most of the events are repetitive.
Why does syncing the iPad & iPhone add this alert and is there not anyway to not have that happen? It makes for a very time consuming process to go thru each event on each device to remove this alert.
Some other posts have had a similiar issue with no working fixes. Guess Apple is too busy fixing Maps. ;-)

When I plug in my iPhone to sync, it starts but does not complete the process and several pieces of data are not being transferred to my iPhone from my MacBook Air.

Problem:
When I plug in my iPhone to sync, it starts but does not complete the process and several pieces of data are not being transferred to my iPhone from my MacBook Air.
Any help that you can provide in helping my iPhone accurately sync with iPhoto and iTunes will be greatly appreciated.
Symptoms:
1)   Sync: It’s not completing the sync. Below, I’ve provided all of my settings from the iTunes Summary tab so that you might tell me if I’ve selected any incorrect options. I prefer to sync the “old school” way – by connecting to the computer – as opposed to syncing over the cloud. Perhaps this is what’s causing the problem? Here is a list of the steps displayed in the iTunes window as the sync progresses:
waiting for sync to start (step 1 of 7)
backing up (step 2 of 7)
preparing to sync (step 3 of 7)
determining apps to sync (step 4 of 7)
preparing apps to sync (step 5 of 7)
importing photos (step 6 of 7)
waiting for changes to be applied (step 7 of 7)
syncing apps / copying 1 of 4 (App name) (step 7 of 7)
canceling sync
apple icon
2)   Photos: I've selected only certain of my iPhoto albums to sync to my iPhone. All of the albums are correct/complete in iPhoto. All of the albums are listed on my iPhone, both before and after the sync, but the albums are empty (no actual photos) before and after the sync. Perhaps this is tied to the fact that the sync isn’t completing, but because “importing photos” is one of the steps that the incomplete sync displays, I don’t know.
3)   Apps: When I launch iTunes and click on the Apps folder under the Library listing, then click on the Updates tab, iTunes searches for any Apps needing to be updated and provides a list. If I click on Update All, the Apps are successfully updated in iTunes. But, when I plug in my iPhone so that the updates will transfer to the apps on my iPhone, the updates don’t transfer to the apps on my iPhone and those apps still reflect that they need updating on the iPhone.
Other Potential Pertinent Info:
The flash memory hard drive on my MacBook Air recently died (perhaps a month or two ago). Apple had emailed me about a known issue and literally the next day, my MacBook Air crashed. I installed a new flash memory drive and re-installed everything from a backup off of an external hard drive. Everything seems to be working fine; it recreated accurately all of my software and data, including iPhoto and iTunes, the pictures and songs (respectively) for which are stored on that hard drive, as opposed to being on the flash memory in the MacBook Air itself. However, I don’t recall if the start of the sync problem described herein started happening at the same time that I replaced the flash memory drive. All I know is that the computer is working perfectly in all respects and that even as the sync is failing, it at least says that it’s doing the right things and looking in the right places (e.g., the list of albums on my iPhone matches the list of albums in iTunes, etc.).
Settings/Status:
MacBook Air
OSX v. 10.9
iPhoto ’11 v. 9.5 (902.7)
iPhone iOS 7.0.4
iTunes v. 11.1.3 (8)

How can i sync my iphone with itnes on a new pc. when i tried to sync it said it will erase the contents on my iphone to sync with the new pc which has no contents

my old pc was running low in memory and i don't have enough space to back up in order to instal iOS5. so i got a new pc, installed itunes on it but when i tried to sync my iphone on the new pc, it said it'll erase all contents on my iphone and sync with the new pc which has no contents. it says iphone can only sync with one machine.
can you pls help

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up your phone manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

Removed songs from iTunes or iPhone keep syncing - where are they and how to permanently stop syncing?

I have about 26 songs that were purchased from iTunes that continually sync from iTunes to my iPhone. I have removed them from my phone and have removed through iTunes, but every time I sync my phone with iTunes they come back.
I have "manually managed" (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535) my iPhone and have removed from the "On this iPhone" section in iTunes and that works great. However, if I try to sync a playlist the playlist syncs, but then the 26 songs I just remove return and are put back on my iPhone.
On my iPhone I have Settings > iTunes & App Store > Automatic Downloads > Music set to Off. I have Settings > iTunes & App Store > Show All > Music set to Off.
On my iTunes, in the iPhone section, I have under the Music section "Sync Music" checked and only one playlist selected with about 49 songs in it.
I have tried deleting those unwanted 26 songs from my iPhone (http://helpios7.com/remove-songs/) and then syncing. The 26 songs return.
I am out of ideas -- is there some iCloud connection/setting that is thinking those 26 songs need to be synced to my iPhone?
I guess my question is - why can't I just sync the one playlist without having these "rogue" 26 songs keep syncing/reappearing?
Thanks for you help!

Go into Settings > Music and there should be an option to "Show all music" all that is needed is for it to be turned off, then only music on your phone is displayed.
