ITunes 8.2 not syncing contacts

iTunes is not syncing my iPhone contacts. Is anyone else having this problem?

I also have the same problem, using my Iphone 3g, OS 3.0, Itunes 8.0.23.
I am trying to use GMail contacts, although the only problem is, it does not recognise that I have a valid GMail account.
It pops up asking for my GMail username & password, tried putting in the full email address, just the account name.
Nothing seems to work to allow me access.
Is there something i'm missing here??

  • ITUNES on iMac not Syncing Contacts with iPhone

    Problems syncing contacts between iPhone 4S on iOS 7 to my iMAC Address Book (OSX 10.7.5) using iTunes.
    How are conflicts resolved?  There don't seem to be any preferences or settings, but I'm assuming iTunes should pop up with a message when there's a conflict asking which contact to use? 
      New contacts on my iPhone are not syncing over to my computer 
    Note:  I do not use iCloud -- it ruined my contacts and took much time to fix, so I want to just sync my devices with iTunes.  I would like to get rid of all references to iCloud if there were a way!
    This process was much slicker and easier with a Palm Pilot many moons ago!!
    I am asked HERE to select a category under iTunes:  Importing & Burning; Installing/Removing/Upgrading; Podcasting and Radio; or iTunes Store.  MY ISSUE FITS NONE OF THESE!!!  So now I have another question -- where should I be posting my question???

  • How can I use 2 iPhone 4's on same iTunes account, but NOT sync same contacts?

    How can I use 2 iPhone 4's on same iTunes account, but NOT sync same contacts?

    They need to be registered under different Apple ID's.  The initial Apple ID is set when you first start the phone up.  If you've already registered the phone to the iTunes account, back it up to your computer, and then have iTunes do a factory reset.  Go to www.icloud.com, log in with your current Apple ID, select "Find My iPhone," choose the iPhone you want to dissociate from your primary Apple ID from the upper left, and then click the little circled X ("remove").
    When you start the phone, it will have you go through the setup process again, at which time you need to create a unique Apple ID for the device.  You can then restore it from your iTunes backup to get back your apps and other settings.
    Whenever you use the iTunes store, use the login information (Apple ID and password) that you were using before.  Basically, the second Apple ID that you created is purely used for accessing iCloud services, which includes synchronization of contacts, iCal events, and other such things.

  • 5th gen iPod Classic will not sync contacts or calendars with itunes 9

    I get the following window message when selection contacts to sycn - "iTunes will no longer sync contacts to ipod "MiPod Classic 80". Would you like iTunes to remove contacts previously copied to you ipod?"
    Then is has two button choices (Don't remove contact) and (Remove Contacts).
    When trying to select calendars I get a window state something like... You can no calendars to sync. Would you like to open iCal to create some. Then it give me a button to do so.
    I do have calendars.
    Anyone else have this problem?

    I have the same problem. When I tell iTunes to sync Contacts, no contacts show up. It asks if I want to add contacts to my Address Book, but when I click okay, all of my 400+ contacts appear as normal in the Address Book. I just can't get iTunes to recognize that I have contacts in my address book.
    I think calendars are also missing, but I'm no longer syncing calendars, so I haven't really messed with that.
    I actually think the problem started when I upgraded to Snow Leopard, but I don't usually mess with my contacts sync settings, so it could've been a problem prior to that. I just upgraded to iTunes 9 last night, and that did not fix the problem.

  • Sync Error Message: "iTunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone...."

    This just started today:
    "iTunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone "My Phone" because an error occured while merging data"
    Info:
    I'm running iTunes 9 and 4.0.1 on my iPhone which is a 3GS. They sync with Google Contacts. I did just install a group contact app called ABCLite (fyi, have no idea if this is related).
    I use my contacts a LOT on both the phone and the computer so I really need them to sync! Help!!!

    Hi,
    same here - or similar: Installed latest iOS4 and only group in my contacts comes up.
    Data do not seem to be lost (phew:-) because when I ring a number, the phone still displays who it is, so the data are there somewhere.
    Any help much appreciated.

  • Message "iTunes could not sync contacts to iPhone because an error occurred while committing data"

    Hello all. I recently replaced the HD in my MacBook Pro. Just after, I retrieved my old files from the Time Machine backup, which I made just before the replacement. During the first sync of my iPhone via iTunes and while I was trying to sync my contacts I saw the message "iTunes could not sync contacts to iPhone because an error occurred while committing data". After that, I lost my iPhone contacts (I have them only from iCloud). The only problem is contacts, all the others (Calendars, Apps) are normally syncing. Does anybody has a solution? Thanks in advance!

    hello,
    There was a similiar posting that I have seen from others and they found out that the back up was bad. https://discussions.apple.com/message/6139533#6139533
    I would use a previous backup (earlier one) to the one you have tried to just do.

  • ITunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone because an error occurred

    When I connect my iPhone to my iMac (OSX version 10.6.6), and open iTunes and select "sync" - everything syncs (my Apps, Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, books, Photos and Calendars). However, I get an error message popping up saying: "iTunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone because an error occurred while merging data".
    I have unchecked the contacts button in iTunes and then sync works fine.
    I have deleted all my contact in my Address Book on my iMac and tried to sync. Again, same error message as above.
    I have not tried to restore the iPhone as I am worried to loose my contacts saved on my iPhone.
    Who know how to solve this problem? Thanks

    Hi Charlotte
    I had the same problem for one year now and it affected my contacts, then later my calendar.
    I followed the Apple troubleshooting guides and finally managed to make it work again.
    First try the following guide:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Troubleshooting contact and calendar syncing via USB on Window
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1692
    For me I noticed that after I updated ITunes to latest version (using the full uninstall from the last point of the guide above, section "Reinstall Apple Mobile Device Support and iTunes"), I could sync with another Windows user account (on another computer actually)
    Since I wanted my own account to sync again, I then used the advanced troubleshooting guide:
    Advanced troubleshooting for Sync Services on Windows with Microsoft Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007, or Outlook 2010
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2776
    In my case the point 4 in this guide helped, but since I had no MobileMe, I just killed the OS process SyncServer.exe, then renamed the SyncServices folder to SyncServices.old and restarted the PC.
    You should try all the steps in both guides in the order mentioned, to see which one can help, I don't advise you to start directly with a step in a guide
    Good luck

  • ITunes could not sync contacts ... because the iPhone disconnected

    I had both an iPhone 3GS and iPod touch (2nd gen w/ 3.0 software) syncing to Mobile Me and to my mac. All seemed well except I had a few duplicate entries in contacts. In trying to clean up the duplicates in MobileMe syncing I turned off contact syncing on the phone then turned it back on again. Then I started getting the following error.
    iTunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone "iPhone" because the iPhone disconnected.
    I've: reinstalled iTunes, completely wiped the iPhone back to factory, Forced a refresh of MobileMe from the Mac to Mobile Me.etc. Symptoms seem to be getting worse instead of better. Now the iPod touch is also screwed up and has the same error as above except for the reference to iPhone.
    Current status:
    iPhone: Contacts - Had a mess, but I seem to have it working. One set of contacts. Calendar - will not sync with Mac. Synced to MobileMe, but empty. Get spinning network activity symbol when in Calender app.
    iPod Touch - Calendar will not sync with Mac. blank synced with Mobile me but empty, Contacts has the separate On my Mac and Mobile Me group listings, but otherwise seems ok. Syncs with Mac.
    iPod Nano - Contacts seem ok, Calendar seems ok,
    MobileMe - Once I reset it seems ok.
    Other info that may or may not apply. There are two other Macs synced by MobileMe. I've reset them as well. Multiple user accounts on each machine.

    By wiping both iPhone and iPod and trying syncing with another computer I've come to the conclusion that something with MobileMe sync is the problem.
    I can set up both to work fine with my Mac Pro and a new Mac Book Pro as long as I don't set up MobileMe syncing. As soon as I sync with MobileMe I start having problems, particularly with Calendar.
    MobileMe seems to work fine computer to computer, until the iPhone/iPod get involved, then the MobileMe copy gets messed up. Version on computer seems to stay ok.
    Not sure where to go from here... other than call Apple or go to the Apple Store.

  • ITunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone because the sync server...

    has anyone else gotten this message? and if so, what's the fix. i've talked to a "level 2" tech at apple and he had no clue.
    "iTunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone because the sync server failed to sync the iphone"
    this happens if i have contacts checked to sync. it synced fine on 6/30 but have been getting this problem today 7/1.

    I'm having this same problem and I've tried all the other fixes in this forum, except yours. Could you please be more specific? My question is below:
    1.) erased the iPhone via iPhone settings. --> where is "iPhone settings"?
    2.) deleted my pda from iSync
    3.) plugged in the iPhone and restored it via iTunes
    4.) resynced and everything is back to normal.
