IPhone Syncing STUCK when I get to Contacts, Calenders, Mails...
(I use a Mac)
After downloading the new iTunes and updating my iPhone to iOS4, I can't sync my iPhone.
When I plug it in, it appears onto my iTunes and syncs automatically as usual.
After passing the "Backup" part, whenever I reach to Contacts, Calenders, or Mail it gets stuck. It gets stuck for several hours. I tried Replacing the Contacts, Calenders and Mails on my iPhone like I read on another solution, but it still doesn't work. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Because whenever I want to sync some songs in, I can't, because it never passes the Contacts, Calenders, Mail syncing step...
This was happening to me to. It got worse after I upgraded my 3G to iOS4.
My new iPhone4 is REALLY slow to sync to. Getting stuck on contacts, once again!

All my contact are being copied to my friend's iphone and i also am getting his contacts on my phone,when i delete a contact it also deletes it from his phone,we are sharing the same apple ID. How can i stop our contacts from being shared between us
Everything that you have checked in your icloud settings will be shared between devices using the same Apple ID. If you don't want icloud to share that information, then simply turn off that process under settings > icloud

I suppose you have/had them on your iPhone, but do not have your iPhone with you now.
Did you ever sync the iPhone with iTunes, did you ever backed up the iPhone to iCloud? -

I been trying for a few times now and I keep getting the same message. How can i fix it? now my phone doesnt work.These are the steps mentioned in the article iPhone: Troubleshooting activation issues
Perform the following steps if you receive one of the messages above:
Restart the iPhone.
Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
Restore the iPhone.
If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance. -
My computer crashed and I have to get my data from my old drive to another computer, to ensure I get all my data what do I need to get. I have and ipad and an iphone. I need to get apps, contacts, pictures, etc. Is there a way to do this? It was a vista pc and the new is win 7. I can grab the backup files, and music, but what about my apps? I do not want to sync on the new pc since the apps aren't there. Were are the app files located in itunes? Can I just copy them to the new computer?
You can transfer itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
The iphone is not a storage/backup device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The exception is itunes purchases.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back. -

No iPhone records voicemail messages. Visual voicemail is simply an interface to the carriers voicemail servers.
Contact the carrier to troubleshoot the issue with their voicemail. -
IPhone sync stuck at Step 5 of 5 waiting for the changes to be applied
iPhone sync stuck at Step 5 of 5 waiting for the changes to be applied
For me it was stuck. So with the iphone/pad etc plugged in I was having the failings at the last step.
I got it to work by unticking "Sync this ****** over wifi" and onnly ticking"manually manage music and videos"
Maybe it gets confussed and I thought I was managing it anyway.
Anyway - that worked for me, literally did the ticks. Off it goes, now adding 1500+ tunes -
I have iCloud on my iMac, macbook and iPhone. However, when I update my contacts on one, it does not update on any of the other devices. The calendar seems to be working. Any suggestions?
On the iMac and MacBook open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Contacts, then reselect it then restart the Macs.
On the iPhone tap Settings > iCloud
Switch Contacts off then back on then restart the iPhone.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears. -

Why does my Iphone 5 ring when I get a call, but can't not figure out why it does not make a sound, when I receive a text or typing???
Deborah,
The solutions on here did not work for me. I tried.....
I have the same problem with a BRAND NEW iPhone 5c version 7.1- no sound when a text message arrives.
(1) I have "do not disturb" scheduled correctly. No partial moon on the main screen near the time and battery indicator.
(2) I have the ringer icon correct with no slash. Yes I turned the hardward mute switch to the UP position (ie the one above the + and - buttons on the left side. I tried messaging with the bell as shown and bell with a slash and neither work. The mute switch is not red (switch above the + volume hardware switch) I enabled some assistant using the Settings menu. And I press the dot (looks like a target symbol) and go to Devices and I can see what position the bell is in....either a bell with a slash or no slash.
(3) Yes ringtones are configured for text and other. I can hear them when I am under settings > sounds. But they do not link with the actual hardware.
(4) I rebooted the iPhone 5c by using the button at top, slide the red bar, then pressed it again, apple came up for a minute and it seemed to be back up.
(5) I upgraded the IPhone 5c from 7.0.4 to 7.1 using my pc and itunes. And the upgrade was successful but did not fix the text issue.
(6) I do not have it in airplane mode or silent mode.
(7) I reset all settings using Setttings > General > reset > reset all settings . this wipes settings but not data and media.
This is really frustrating. -
What do you do when you get a 'connection to mail server failed' message?
What do you do when you get a "connection to mail server failed" message?
if it used to work and you did not change anything then it's most likely the internet connection or the mail provider server which are having the problem in which case you wait
if not then they changed their settings and you needs to adjust to their new settings
or your carrier changed their settings so they block the required ports -
Iphone sync and 300 lost address book contacts
Help. I'm sick about this. Everything has been going fine with my iphone until tonight. After I synced tonight, all 300 of my address book contacts disappeared on my phone AND on my computer. Even my backup hard drive doesn't show any contact information, only an address book icon which has no information when opened. Apple iphone tech support was unable to help me. Please I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight because of this. Can anyone out there help me get my contact information back?
Thank you.
Alden BurlingtonJoel,
The Backup application they are referring to is the Backup application that comes with .Mac.
It does incremental backups. It doesn't replace the previous days backup. You can go to your backup location, and choose the day you want to restore from.
There is even a preconfigured plan for personal data and settings daily to iDisk that backs up iCal, Address Book, etc.
I would also recomend going into iSync's preferences and setting it to prompt you if more than 5% of your contacts or data will be changed. This is the default for iSync, but can be changed to not warn, or only warn when 25%, 50%, etc will be changed. If it is on the default you will get a message if information will be lost.
Also in some situations, reseting sync history before another sync, and then syncing again, may bring back some of the contacts.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C. -
I have an iPhone 4 with software version 4.3.5 and iTunes Vesrion 10.5. Im aslo running Windows 7
When I updates iTunes to this version my phone would no longer sync. It just gets stuck at step 1 or 5 and never moves from there.
Any help would be most appreciated
ThanksFinally - after much stress and many attempts I finally got it to work by using a combination of the following things together:
1. Unplugging my computer from the network
2. Changing the USB port the iPhone was plugged into
3. Disabling windows firewall and antivirus/sypware
4. Following these instructions:
- Quit iTunes.
- Start an elevated command prompt (Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Right Click "Command Prompt" -> "Run as Administrator")
- Once in the command prompt, type "netsh winsock reset" and hit ENTER.
- Reboot your machine
- Restart iTunes.
Thanks for everyone for their help
