Iphone syncs music and photos, not calendars and contacts

I have had my Iphone since last July, and have had virtually no issues with it. However, since the last security update, I have been unable to successfully sync my iphone to my powerbook. The phone is properly recognized, and I can initiate a sync, but the sync seems to get stuck synchronizing contacts. Nothing freezes - the computer and phone are still operational- it just seems that the sync doesn't ever end. I even let it run overnight, without success. The same thing occurs if avoid syncing contacts, and start with syncing calendars. However, if I don't sync calendars or contacts, music and photos sync properly, and the sync completes itself.
I tried restarting the iphone and re-installing itunes, without success.
Please let me know if anyone out there has any ideas.

In the back of my computer. There isn't one on the side or front. I've checked the USB settings and it says that it's a 2.0

    You need to copy the iTunes liubrary from your Old computer, or its Backup, to your New computer...
    See Here for one way

  • My 32gb Touch was stolen but have content stored in iTunes.  Can I sync all content including notes, calendar, apps, etc to the iPhone 3GS?

    My 32gb iPod Touch was stolen but have content stored in iTunes. 
    Can I sync all content including notes, calendar, apps, etc to the iPhone 3GS 16gb? 
    And, will the data that was stored on the iPod Touch be recovered?!  Obviously I will have to unclick some of my photos and music for example in order to fit content onto the iPhone 

    If you had synced the ipod to the itunes yes
    connect your iphone to itunes and then under devices u'll see iphone right click and u'll see restore backup

  • How to sync music and video from iPhone4 with iPad mini?

    I have music and video on my iPhone4 and I just got my iPad mini yesterday.  Does anyone know how to sync music and video between two devices?

    Apple doesn't enable you to copy certain items from your iPhone to your computer e.g.
    - songs that have not been bought in the iTunes store
    - photos from photo album (only allows photos transferred from camera roll)
    This is frustrating if you have lost these items on your computer - e.g. accidental deletion, hard disk failure.
    Its not that its not possible - just that the functionality is not included in iTunes. Its an example of Apple prioritising revenues over customer experience - hey they can do what they want with their reputation but should take care not to frustrate customers too much.
    However the Senuti (free) and PhoneView ($20) allows you to transfer items either way between computer and iPhone. Ive tried both and they work great. These are for OS X and there are many other applications available online for both Windows/Mac that allow you to treat the iPhone as just a plugged in disk too. You can try iPod Photo Liberator (Mac & Windows) iPodCopy (Mac and Windows Versions) Keith's iPod Photo Reader (Mac only).
    Good luck

  • With home sharing, can I sync music and apps on multiple computers at home?

    Hi.
    With home sharing, can I sync music and apps on multiple computers at home?
    Basically, I want to sync my iphone and ipad on 2~3 computers at home without deleting contents in my iphone and ipad.
    thanks.

    I did some more checking as I still had my old computer online.
    I booted and went into iTunes.
    Under DEVICES, the TV was listed, along with MUSIC, PHOTOS, PLAYLISTS, much like an iPod/Touch.
    When I went into PREFERENCES->TV DEVICES, the TV was listed and on the site, it stated SYNCING.
    On the other computer, it listed STREAMING.  I did do a RIGHT CLICK on the device and selected "STOP STREAMING" and it disappeard - must RE-PAIR with the unit I guess.
    I'm afraid to perform the following, but if someone out there has the equipment, maybe they can check...
    Make sure nothing else is managing the TV.
    Pair with the unit so you have all sorts of options under the device and it shows 'syncing'.
    Now, create a new account and perform the same thing or use another Mac.  I believe it will limit you to STREAMING only.
    My thoughts are that ONLY ONE computer can sync (just like other device).  I have to disconnect the association with the old computer.
    Even though I moved everything over with Migration Assistant, I didn't have any issues with managing the iPhones, but I'm wondering if there is a Computer UUID that the AppleTV is TIED to.  Since I'm on a different computer UUID, and it's being managed by another one, I'm limited to STREAMING.
    Only other choice is to RESET the unit - now, where did my manual go?
    Thoughts?
